After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door. Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

Just drop your pants and under shorts and we can tell your exact age..' Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers. The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times. Then they all piped up and said, 'You're 87 years old!' Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked, 'How in the world did you guess?'

Freedom of worship can mean something totally different to freedom of religion. For instance, freedom of worship means that we will be free to worship any way we like, providing we do so in private, but it doesn't give us the freedom to preach or teach what the Word of God says--including the preaching of the gospel. On the other hand, freedom of religion gives us the freedom to preach and teach the full counsel of God. At the time of writing, there is pressure from certain groups to have preaching what God's Word says about homosexuality labeled a hate crime that will be punishable by law. We can be certain that that day is coming and thereafter, inch by inch, our freedom of religion will slowly but surely be eroded while our leaders will be declaring that we will never lose our freedom of worship. This kind of deception is called newspeak which is "deliberately ambiguous language used to mislead and manipulate the public." Some politicians, media personnel, lawyers and others are notorious for using newspeak. Have you noticed that since Hilary Clinton, when she got caught lying, said that she misspoke, how many others are doing the same thing? Misspoke? No, Mrs. Clinton lied and so did many, if not all, of the others who misspoke. --- ...Thanks Johanna! Aww, yes, but don't they know? We no longer say the word 'lie' unless it is used for a conservative or a Republican. The politically correct word for all liberals and Democrats who lie is 'misspoke'. AND we must always add 'with all due respect' with it. They downplay the lie that way. After all, we all know what the Bible has taught us well through Jesus Christ Our Lord: John 8: [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. =================================================================== >-->In The Worldly News: [POLITICS] >From NewsMax: O'Reilly: Obama Is Thin-Skinned; Dems Admit Bush Was Right; Egyptian WMD Fear http://tinyurl.com/67kfmyy >From Taipan Daily: It's Not Inflation Till You Get Paid We all know what Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke thinks about inflation these days: "T'aint none from whare I sit."

The Scandinavian Airlines System Group pilot wrote in his report he fell asleep during the Copenhagen to Stockholm flight because he was "extremely tired" from having only slept four 4 the previous night, Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported Thursday. The pilot said he fell asleep while his co- pilot was using the toilet and the co-pilot had to buzz the door several times before he woke up and was able to open the cockpit. The flight last year was kept on course by the plane's autopilot. An SAS manager said the airline is not planning any disciplinary action against the pilot. -- Strange floating 'blob' found off Florida ------ SARASOTA, Fla. - Scientists say an underwater blob of goo off the Florida Panhandle coast isn't oil, but rather a mass of dead plankton, algae and bacteria. The underwater mass of dead sea life, at least three feet thick and spanning 2/3 of a mile off to the coast, appears to be growing as microscopic algae and bacteria get trapped in it and die, the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald- Tribune reported Wednesday. Scientists investigating whether oil from last year's Deepwater Horizon disaster was a factor in the creation of the blob say tests so far have found no sign of oil. "It seems to be a combi- nation of algae and bacteria," David Hollander of the University of South Florida said, describing the sub- stance as toxic and "extraordinarily sticky." Research- ers say they are not ruling out a possible connection to the oil spill that gummed up that part of the gulf for 30 to 40 days and pumped 186 million to 227 million gallons of crude into the ocean. "We don't know all the ramifications, the implications of a spill like this," Hollander said. -<>- >From Archived 04/08 CoffeeBreak: Disney to release 10 animated films by '12 The Walt Disney Studios unveiled at a New York news conference Tuesday a slate of 10 animated feature movies to be released through 2012. The lineup includes new movies from Disney and Pixar's filmmakers, featuring the vocal performances of stars such as John Travolta and Miley Cyrus in "Bolt;" Reese Witherspoon, Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson in "The Bear and the Bow;" Anika Noni Rose and John Goodman in "The Princess and the Frog;" and Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and the rest of the "Toy Story" ensemble in "Toy Story 3." The roster includes six films from Pixar Animation Studios, four from Walt Disney Animation Studios and the first four in a series of direct-to-DVD films featuring Disney Fairies from DisneyToon Studios. "We're excited to be pushing the boundaries of 3-D and computer technology to tell our stories in the best possible way," John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, said in a statement. "At the same time, we're drawing on our past to emphasize memorable characters, original edge-of-your-seat stories, and believable worlds." The Fall's Smith says he slit a squirrel Britain's humane society says it's investigating The Fall's frontman Mark E. Smith for allegedly lopping off a squirrel's head with a hedge trimmer. The punk rocker reportedly bragged to a music magazine he "killed a couple" of endangered squirrels recently, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday. If the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' investigation confirms Smith's claim of a backyard beheading, the 51-year-old musician could be prosecuted under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. The singer said he would "happily set about an endangered red squirrel with a set of professional hedge clippers," the British newspaper reported. "Squirrels mean nothing to me. I killed a couple last weekend actually," Smith allegedly said during the magazine interview. "The comments made by Mark E. Smith are extremely irresponsible and he has basically admitted to committing an offense under the Wildlife and Countryside Act by killing two red squirrels," said RSPCA spokeswoman Klare Kennett. Red squirrels are "highly protected," Kennett said, and a person convicted of killing, harming or taking red squirrels from the wild could be sentenced up to six months in prison and a fined up to $40,000. Elephant enclosed in soap bubble The owners of a Perris, Calif., elephant ranch say an artist has set what is believed to be a world record for the largest mammal to be enclosed in a bubble. Artist Fan Yang wrapped Tai, a female Asian elephant, in a soap bubble before an audience that included Perris Mayor Daryl Busch, ranch owners Gary and Kari Johnson and representatives from Riverside County Animal Services and Perris Animal Control, the Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise reported Wednesday. Yang placed the elephant on a platform and used a pulley system of bubble wands to create a soapy circle around the pachyderm. The event had originally been planned for a public showing at the Santa Ana Discovery Science Center, but was switched to a private affair at the ranch after animal-rights advocates criticized the plan. "What we were doing in no way hurt the elephant. We know. We are the experts. That's what we do," Kari Johnson said. "Nobody protects the elephants better than we do." Les Schobert, one of 11 current and former zoo professionals who signed a letter urging the Santa Ana center to abandon the plan, said the critics took issue with "the mind-set that tells people elephants are just here for us to use any way we want." The feat has been submitted to Guinness World Records for certification. ======================================================== >-->From Our Friend Wesley :) .-. .-._ _.../ `, _.-. | `'-' \ \_'` | \ '.__,/ `\_.--, / '._/ | / '. / ; _ _'--; '--|- (_) __ (_) -|--' .--|- (__) -|--. .-\- -/-.

What with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning uphill both ways through year 'round blizzards carrying their younger siblings on their backs to their one-room schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-A average despite their full-time after-school job at the local textile mill where they worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from starving to death! And I remember promising myself that when I grew up there was no way I was going to lay that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But.... Now that I've reached the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today don't know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves! And there was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen! And then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! And there were no MP3s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to go to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or, we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up! You want to hear about hardship? We didn't have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was, it could be your boss, your Mom, a collections agent, you didn't know!!! You just had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! And we didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation videogames with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "Asteroids"! Your guy was a little square! You had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win, the game just kept getting harder and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! When you went to the movie theater, there was no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy sat in front of you, you watched his hairstyle! And sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 20 channels and there was no onscreen menu! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning... D'ya hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK! That's exactly what I'm talking about!

The one dog says to the other, "Wait here a minute, I'll be right back." He walks across the street and sniffs this fire hydrant for about a minute, then walks back across the street. The other dog says, "What was that about?" The dog first dog says, "I was just checking my messages." -<>- A man learned shortly before quitting time that he had to attend a meeting. He tried unsuccessfully to locate his car-pool members to let them know that he would not be leaving with them. Hastily he scribbled a message to one fellow and left it on his desk: "I have a last-minute meeting. Leave without me. Dave." At 7:00 p.m., the man stopped at his desk and found this note: "Meet us at the bar and grill across the street. You drove, you idiot." -<>- _.._ .--'` .-,) .' / , / / /\ ; ; | `.__..__ | | | `''-\ ; \ ` \ '. `. '--.,__ __..-'-. '. ``` `. '. `. `\ _.._ \ `\ _.'

Shortly thereafter, I received a bill from the hospital, this time for the $1.57 they claimed I still owed. Apparently to prove that this was a hospital with heart, they included a payment book. It had me paying 3 cents a month for four years. -<>- I returned home from my ninth business trip of the year with a severe bout of jet lag–induced foot-in-mouth disease. As we prepared to go to sleep that night, I wrapped my arms around my better half, gave her a kiss, and announced, "It's good to be in my own bed, with my own wife!" -<>- A lawyer phoned the governor's mansion shortly after mid- night. "I need to talk to the governor, it's an emergency!" exclaimed the lawyer. After some cajoling, the governor's assistant agreed to wake him up. "So, what is it that's so important that it can't wait until morning?" grumbled the governor. "Judge Pierson just died, and I want to take his place," begged the attorney. "Well, it's OK with me if it's OK with the funeral home," replied the governor. =========================================================== >-->From AndyChaps: _.-"""""'. .;__ `\ / `\ | ;a/ a `'. _ | ,_ |/_ _) / {(}`\ \,___. \.'

Careful, the chains not to goo neather! ** Happy Valentine Day, Sally Sue... from Billy Bob ** Collards is green, my dog's name is Blue and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you. Yore hair is like cornsilk a-flapping in the breeze. Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas. You move like the bass, which excite me in May. You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway. Yo're as satisfy'n as okry jist a-fry'n in the pan. Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can. You have some'a yore teeth, for which I am proud; I hold my head high when we're in a crowd. On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms, well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms. Still them fellers at work, they all want to know, what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe. Like a good roll of duct tape yo're there fer yore man, to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can. Yo're as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead. You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed. Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt, you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt. When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack, my life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack. Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'. despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'. Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank, we go together like a skunk goes with stank. Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day; They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way. Some men git roses on that special day from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say. Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth. "Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth. But for this man, honey, these won't do. Cause yor'e too special, you sweet thang you. I got you a gift, without taste nor odor, more useful than diamonds...... IT'S A NEW TROLL'N MOTOR!

For my grandchildren, I'd like better. I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would. I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen. It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him. When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her. I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom. If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books. When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole. I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle. May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Hanukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand. These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life. Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you. Send this to all of your friends. We secure our friends, not by accepting favors, but by doing them. -<>- .'\ /`. .'.-.`-'.-.`. ..._: .-. .-. :_... .'
