Yeah, I never tell the truth anywhere. When repairmen say they'll "Come sometime next week," I usually say, "Fine, I'll pay you sometime next year." I'm a pretty patient person. Just as long as I'm not kept waiting for anything. I use my cookbook often -- to throw at people who suggest I cook. Remember the "Twilight Zone" episode where a man went all day without saying anything stupid? That'll never happen in real life. It's National Chili Week! Which makes next week National Stay Indoors Week. I learned something important about burning leaves. Wait until they fall off the trees. With each passing week, the days are getting a little bit shorter. Kind of like me. Here's a spooky Halloween mystery: How do they fit so many calories into those mini candy bars? Sadie Hawkins Day is when women hit on men. If noogies count, I hit on 'em every day. I'm thinking of renewing my vow ... to never get married again. Breaking up is hard to do. Unless you're mad and there's a vase nearby. The best thing about late November is watching people who make homemade Christmas gifts start to really panic. I could be a member of the "Polar Bear Club." Yeah, I stand in freezing cold water whenever someone flushes the toilet while I'm in the shower. I enjoy battling mall crowds for the hot new Christmas toys. Oh, I don't buy the toy -- I just like battling. Ever notice how the guy with the light-up Christmas tie always leaves the party alone? I found a surprise or two under the tree -- the dog hates going outside in the snow. I've got Christmas fever. That's what I get for skipping my flu shot. My personal goal for this year is to get in the way of other people's goals. I wish those long-distance phone companies would offer a special low rate on those calls to relatives that rattle on and on about nothing. Now that the holidays are over, there are a lot of bargains out there -- in the form of slightly used gifts I've returned. I cut my heating costs by 30 percent. Just let my legs go numb below the knee. January is designated as National Diet Month -- mainly because December is National Eat-Like-a-Pig Month. I'm getting cabin fever. Mainly from drinking syrup straight from the bottle. Thought about taking up snowboarding, but then I figured, why not just ram myself into a tree and save that long trip to the mountains. It's National Hot Tea Month! Throw a tea drinker into a harbor to celebrate. The handy thing about credit cards is that they're a great way to pay off your credit cards. Got the all-animal channel and the all-history channel, but I'm still waiting for the all-whining channel. --- ...She's pretty funny! Thanks Wesley!

Mieczyskaw Mil, 64, was one of the affected parties. His power line serviced only 17 homes and therefore was one of the last to be repaired. Seven hours after the line fell, Mieczyskaw Mil finally lost his patience. The old man had been shooed away repeatedly by firefighters who were guarding the power line. "Police and firefighters literally chased him away. We did everything we could," said Dick Martinkovic, commissioner of public safety in Sullivan County. But they were not prepared for the homeowner's sudden bold move. Frustrated with waiting, Mil emerged from his home shortly after midnight with an industrial circular saw in his hand and plastic bags on his feet. He stood in a puddle of water and attempted to saw through a 4800-volt feeder line that was dangling off the pole. He fell and became tangled in the hissing and buzzing live wire. While emergency responders waited for utility workers to shut down the power, Mil was busy being killed by continuous electrocution. The story says it all. He was repeatedly shooed away from the power line, but insisted on cutting it while standing in a puddle, and now is safely out of the gene pool. Thanks for doing our species a favor, Mil! -<>- >She Talks Faster Than She Walks 2009 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (30 May 2009, Louisiana) Back seat drivers beware! Annoyed at how slowly her boyfriend was driving, Tamera B, 22, encouraged him to pick up the pace so she could get to work on time. Joking that it would be faster to walk to work, she opened the door of the pickup and stuck her foot out before falling to her death. Deputies of the jurisdictional Sheriff's Office stated that the truck was traveling at highway speed on I-12 at the time of the incident. Her death was ruled accidental. -<>- >Fool's Gold 2009 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (5 February 2009, India) Bachelor lottery agent Pravin Kuse lived with his brother's family in Vasai. His own house, an abandoned 100-year-old building, was located a few meters away. Some legends hold that a pot of gold lies buried at the end of the rainbow, but Kuse learned in a dream that an ancient pot of gold was actually buried beneath his house. He decided to follow his dream and dig for that gold. He shared his plans with his aged mother, warning her to keep quiet to avoid a fight over the fortune. The dream told him to dig beneath the staircase so after lunch, every day without fail, Kuse would take his spade and dig a little deeper beneath the stairs. The neighbors had no idea that days and nights of digging had resulted in a fifteen-foot deep tunnel. The innovative gold-digger had even rigged a remote-control toy car to carry a flashlight to assist him in the dark. One day the 32-year-old lottery agent did not return home, and his worried relatives lodged a missing persons report. Police were dispatched to the old house where they discovered that the floor had caved in. The soil beneath the staircase becomes moist at a depth of 15 feet due to its proximity to the sea, and the unsupported walls of the tunnel had collapsed. Within a few hours an earthmover had excavated Kuse's body from the debris, along with a spade and the innovative mobile flashlight. The lottery agent's number was up. In searching for a pot of gold, Kuse may not have had the luck of the Irish (and why would he, being Indian) but he does have the distinction of winning a Darwin Award. --- ...Just goes to prove you can't always follow your dreams - especially when the devil is in the mix! -<>- >Double Dipping 2009 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (3 June 2009, North Carolina) Greensboro was innundated with four inches of pouring rain in two hours leading to standing water, and stranding cars on several roads. Rosanne Tippett, 50, was not deterred. She hopped on her moped and drove to a convenience store where she possibly had a beer, according to her mother, before deciding to blunder home through the storm. She phoned home to share her intentions, saying, "My moped has two rubber wheels, Mom, I'll be fine." North Carolina does not require a license to own a moped. Ms. Tippett had acquired hers two years previously after a DUI conviction. The Highway Patrol had blocked off several roads that were inundated with water, including Ms. Tippett's path home. But Ms. Tippett rode right past the officer and the barriers, lost control of her vehicle, and fell into the swollen creek below. The officer retrieved rope from his vehicle and proceeded to haul her from the water. He then interviewed Ms. Tippett, probably inquiring about her motivation for speeding through a roadblock during a flash flood. The officer began to suspect that she had been drinking. When he briefly returned to his patrol car, Ms. Tippett took the opportunity to confirm his suspicions. She escaped--by jumping back into the creek! The Highway Patrol officer attempted to rescue her again, but alas, it was too late. The victim's mother speculated that her daughter's motivation for jumping into a flooded creek was to rescue her drowning moped. "She loved that thing." --- ...Unbelievable!

"We are recalling all the new West Virginia quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices." The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide. "The problem lies in the unique design of the West Virginia quarter, which was created by an West Virginia University graduate," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices." --- ...LOL! What a funny!

Last night, one Senate aide said the anger between liberal Senators craving a full-blown government takeover of health care and moderate Democrats has become "white hot." I believe this is our sign to fan the flames! If we can keep Harry Reid from lining up sixty votes - and it's getting harder for him each day closer we get to the Christmas break - it is much more likely ObamaCare will go down to the defeat it so richly deserves! But don't expect Barack Obama to give up in the face of the Senate's crumbling consensus. He's calling the entire Democratic caucus - including independent Joe Lieberman - over to the White House for a Chicago-style pep rally this afternoon! Reid is desperate. Obama is desperate. NOW is the time to apply all the pressure we possibly can! ++As it now stands, ObamaCare WILL fund abortions ++It's "Make-or-Break Week" on ObamaCare... If pro-life and pro-family citizens are silent now, then Senators will feel justified in ignoring our viewpoint. The margins of defeat or victory are very, very tight. Given the slightest opening, Harry Reid will rush ObamaCare through. But, as precarious as the situation is right now, it is at this very time that our leverage is the greatest! We cannot give our Senators the luxury of ignoring us! I am asking every member of our Liberty Counsel team to do three things this week: #1 - Fax your Senators! Even if you've done so before - even several times before-please take a moment right now to fax your two Senators and other key Senate targets and tell them that you strongly oppose Harry Reid's liberal health care overhaul. Go here: http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=23653&CID=297&RID=22279143 Of course, we always encourage you to send your own faxes if you prefer. We have provided all the information you need to reach the key senators here: http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=23654&CID=297&RID=22279143 #2 - Call your Senators! Please... take a moment to call your two Senators - even every day this week - and let them know you are outraged that the Senate rejected the pro-life amendment. Then urge them to vote "NO!" on ObamaCare: #3 - Pray that God will intervene and stop this murderous bill! ++Obama and Reid are pulling out all the stops and we must, too! The Obama administration and our Congress have turned their backs on the desires of Americans. Their agenda is increasingly clear: Get control of the health care industry, which comprises one-sixth of our entire economy, at any cost. And don't doubt for a minute that they'll do whatever is necessary to get what they want. This is OUR TIME to rise up and take action as never before to stop this monstrous bill! Fax and call your Senators and tell them that you are holding them accountable. We are fast coming to the end of this titanic struggle over the government takeover of our health care system. What we do this week is absolutely crucial! http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=23655&CID=297&RID=22279143 Thank you for taking action with me. Every political analyst in Washington, DC, knows that if ObamaCare doesn't get through the Senate by Christmas, it will be very, very difficult for it to pass in 2010. We are close to overcoming this hideous threat if we take action together and stay the course!

Shelbyville police said they received a report during Saturday night’s Christmas parade of an apparently inebriated woman “wear- ing a red coat who was riding on a white horse” in the parade, but officers could not locate the woman or her mount on the Shelbyville square, the Shelbyville Times- Gazette reported Thursday. Investigators said they found Patti Lynn Moore, 46, sleeping on top of her horse outside a North Cannon Boulevard motel about 15 minutes after receiving the report. Moore was arrested and charged with public intoxication. She was released after posting $500 bond. -- Man arrested with geckos in underpants ---- CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – New Zealand authorities said a German tourist pleaded guilty to smuggling geckos and skinks in his underwear. Authorities said customs officers stopped Hans Kurt Kubusn, 58, Sunday at Christchurch International Airport and discovered 43 endangered geckos and skinks hidden in a package concealed in his underwear and another was hidden in a rolled sock in his luggage, Radio New Zealand reported Thursday. Investigators said Kubusn was attempting to smuggle the animals, native to New Zealand, back to Germany. Kubusn pleaded guilty in Christchurch District Court to five counts of trading in exploited species and two counts of hunting protected wildlife. He was released on bail and is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 25. ============================================================== >-->From Our Friend Sandi :) , __ _.-"` `'-. /||\'._ __{}_( |||| |'--.__\ | L.( ^_\^ \ .-' | _ | | | )\___/ | \-'`:._] jgs \__/; '-.

Twice, it got him into the movies, once into the baseball park, and once into the symphony. He got a raise at work by showing it as a note from the boss. One day, he mislaid it. His daughter picked it up, played it on the piano, and won a scholarship to a conservatory of music. -<>- ,,, ,,, ;" ^; ;' ", ; s$$$$$$$s ; , ss$$$$$$$$$$s ,' ;s$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$P""Y$$$Y""W$$$$$ $$$$ p"$$$"q $$$$$ $$$$ .$$$$$. $$$$ $$DcaU$$$$$$$$$$ by "Y$$$"*"$$$Y" aka dcau "$b.$$" Panda >The Code A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him that she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know about the affair, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there. "But how will I let you know when the baby is born?" she asked. He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of all your expenses". Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew off to Italy. Six months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and explained "Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means". The doctor said "Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you". Later that evening the doctor came home, read the postcard, and fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the distraught wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the card and read "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs, two without". ================================================================ >-->From Our Friend Wesley :) 0=========================================================0 |'.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required. The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough. Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door: TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS: (1) They live here. You don't. (2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture. (3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. (4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. ."";._ _.---._ _.-"". /_.'_ '-' /`-` \_ \ .' / `\ \ /` \ '. .' / ; _ _ '-; \ ;'. _.' ; /\ / \ \ \ ; '._;._ .-'.--. | / | \0|0/ \ | '-. / /` \ | / .' \ | .---. \ | | | / /--' .-"""-. \ \/ \ | \ \ / / / ( , , ) /\ \ | / \ '----' .' | '-(_)-' | | '. / / `'----'` | '. | `'----'` jgs \ `/ '. , .' `-.____.'

(1) eat less, (2) don't ask for money all the time, (3) are easier to train, (4) normally come when called, (5) never ask to drive the car, (6) don't hang out with drug-using and/or alcohol abusing people; (7) don't smoke or drink, (8) don't want to wear your clothes, (9) don't have to buy the latest fashions, (10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college --- ...Very well said - But WE SO DO LOVE KIDS Too!!

She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead." -------- It was Christmas and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner, "What are you charged with?" "Doing my Christmas shopping early," replied the defendant. "That's no offense," said the judge. "How early were you doing this shopping?" "Before the store opened," countered the prisoner. -------- Our church used a small donkey from a nearby farm for our Christmas pageant, which ran four evenings in a row. Elvis, the donkey, was well-mannered and a popular member of the cast. Each evening, Elvis's owner brought him to church in a pickup truck before the pageant. One evening as my visiting adult daughter, Janette, and I walked across the church parking lot, I saw the donkey being unloaded from the truck. I said brightly to Janette, "Oh, there's Elvis!" She looked at me with sorrowful surprise. "Oh, Mom, not you, too." SUBSCRIBE INFO Want to receive a Christian inspirational item AND great clean humor in an email to you each day of the week?

During the event the first lady did 142 swivels with a hula hoop. It's the same hoop that Republicans are making Barack jump through to get health care passed. (Doug Austin) President Obama was in New Orleans. A little boy asked President Obama, "Why do people hate you?" Then the little boy turned to Joe Biden and said, "I know why people hate you." (Conan O'Brien) President Obama says he'll do whatever it takes to get his healthcare package passed. Today he said a small boy snuck into the legislation and the only way to get him out safely was to pass the bill. (Tim Hunter) Liberal activists are accusing President Obama of being too slow to appoint new judges. They claim that the only new judges appointed during the presidency are Sonia Sotomayor and Ellen DeGeneres. (Conan O'Brien) And under the new guidelines issued by the Obama Administration, Federal agents will not pursue pot-smoking patients in states that allow medical marijuana. This new policy is called "Don't Ask, Don't — What Was I Talking About?" (Jay Leno) --- ...TeeHee! Thanks Wesley! -<>- >From Our Friend James :) I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. - Taylor Caldwell God grant you the light in Christmas which is faith; the warmth of Christmas, which is love; the radiance of Christmas, which is purity; the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice; the belief in Christmas, which is truth... ~ Wilda English There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men! ~ Unknown Friends and relations; Send salutations; Just as sure as the stars shine above; This is Christmas, Christmas my dear; The time of year to be with the one that you love. ~ Bon Jovi("Bells Will Be Ringing") -<>- Obama Quote: http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/d055.html -<>- National Geographic Photo Of The Day: This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in my backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time I was taking this photo, I thought this frog was dead, having cooked himself from the inside. I'm happy to say I was wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after I was finished with the camera, I pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, I might be crazy but I don't think he was very happy when I took his light away.... http://tinyurl.com/yenh4bs --- ...Awesome! Way too Funny!
