I had been seeing 'Get Your Flu Shot' signs everywhere, so I asked the doc to give me one, and he obliged. He told me that I might feel slight flu symptoms for a couple of weeks, but not to worry, they would not develop into anything serious. So for two weeks I felt like I had the beginnings of the flu with a scratchy throat, tight chest and slight fever. It never became the flu though until today. My throat is killing me, I'm congested, my chest feels like I just swallowed a gallon of sea water and everything tastes like the flu. So I called my barber, I mean my doctor, and asked him why I got the flu. He said that ___________ it probably wasn't because of the shot he [___________] gave me, but, more likely due to the blood- {=========} letting he had performed in order to get rid .-' '-. of the evil spirits. / \ /_________________\ Ah, modern medicine.

Finally, he got around to doing it while Lucy was out. After finishing, he left to take care of another matter before she returned. She came in and undressed to take a shower. Before getting in the shower, she sat on the toilet. As she tried to stand up, she realized that the not-quite-dry epoxy paint had glued her to the toilet seat. About that time, Charlie got home and realized her predicament. They both pushed and pulled without any success whatsoever. Finally, in desperation, Charlie undid the toilet seat bolts. Lucy wrapped a sheet around herself and Charlie drove her to the hospital emergency room. The ER Doctor got her into a position where he could study how to free her (Try to get a mental picture of this.). Lucy tried to lighten the embarrassment of it all by saying, "Well, Doctor, I'll bet you've never seen anything like this before." The Doctor replied, "Actually, I've seen lots of them... I just never saw one mounted and framed." --- ...LMAO! Some Really Good ones!

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. _*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*_ 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 2/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. 8. "All individuals running for an elected office must use the same amount of funds so that no one person may have a financial advantage to become elected." Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks. --- ...Sounds good to me!

Patricia Girard, principal at Farm Hill Elementary School in Middletown, told The Hartford (Conn.) Courant Wednesday she would take a leave of absence to spend time with her family for personal reasons. She said she plans to return to the school as principal. Controversy has surrounded the school since some parents showed concern about its use of "scream rooms," where out-of-control students are sent to calm down. Parents at a Jan. 10 board of education meetings said the rooms posed a danger to students and staff and caused disruptions for the rest of the school. One parent started an online petition seeking the ouster of three special education administrators over use of the rooms. Connecticut state law permits the use of time-out rooms only for students with an Individualized Education Plan. The school district said Jan. 13 it would no longer use the rooms for students without IEPs. Two state agencies are investigating the use of the rooms at Farm Hill, the Courant said Thursday. *-- Elephant gets contact lens --* AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A 45-year-old Asian elephant at a Netherlands zoo has become the first of her species in Europe to be outfitted with a contact lens. Officials with the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam said the elephant, Win Thida, had to undergo surgery and be outfitted with a contact lens after her eye was badly injured during a fight with another elephant, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday. "I was called in when the zoo reported that Win Thida's eye was painful and streaming," veterinarian Anne-Marie Verbruggen said. "The main difficulty was her height. Elephants can't lie down for long before their immense weight impairs their breathing, so I used a ladder to get close enough. It wasn't ideal, but it worked. She seemed happier straight away." *-- $100 hot dog includes cognac, lobster --* VANCOUVER, British Columbia - The world's most expensive hot dog has debuted in Vancouver, Canada, costing $100 for the foot-long dog infused with cognac along with lobster and Kobe beef. The founder of dougieDog Hot Dogs, dougie luv, said in a release his brainchild uses 100-year-old Louis XIII cognac that costs more than $2,000 a bottle. He named the creation the Dragon Dog in honor of the Chinese New Year, which this year celebrates the year of the dragon. The dog is nestled in Japanese Kobe beef from hand-massaged cows that is seared in olive and truffle oils, lobster shreds and a picante sauce whose ingredients Mr. luv wouldn't disclose. He said he intends to contact the Guinness Book of Records to unseat the previous most-expensive hot dog at New York's Serendipity restaurant, which sells for $69. The release said the new hot dog would be a regular menu item and not a limited offer. *-- Candidate appears to be time traveler --* PARIS - A French presidential hopeful said he witnessed allied troops landing in Normandy but the event happened 17 years before he was born. The problem with the account Herve Morin delivered to supporters in Nice was that the invasion took place in 1944 and he wasn't born until 1961, France 24 reported Tuesday. "You, some among you with gray hair, witnessed the storming of the Provence beach," Morin told supporters. "I saw the landing of the allied troops in Normandy." Morin's blooper made him the talk of the micro-blogging site Twitter. Comments used the hashtag #MorinMcFly in a reference to the time traveling Marty McFly played by Michael J Fox in the "Back To The Future" movies, The Local reported. "Herve Morin will be seeing President Abraham Lincoln today for a working meeting" joked one tweeter. Morin registers only 1 percent in opinion polls and some members of his own New Centre party want him to quit the presidential race and back President Nicholas Sarkozy, the report said. ========================================================== >-->From CleanLaffs: === === === === ___===____________oooo___________oooo____________===___ |___===___________________________________________===___| === | /O O\ | === dwb || || jrb === || || === ( | _ | ) || ( ) || _ || _/_-_\_ || \ ooooO /___|___\ Ooooo == ((( )|____^____|( ))) / \ (|)MMMMM| |#####(|) |MILK| (_)MMMM/ \####(_) |____| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- __ ____ ___ __ ___ ___ ( )(_ _) ( \ / \( _)/ __) )( )( ) ) )( () )) _)\__ \ (__) (__) (___/ \__/(___)(___/ ____ _ _ ___ ___ __ ___ _ _ __ __ __ ___ _ (_ _)( )( )( _) ( ,) / \( \( \/ ) / _) / \ / \( \ / \ )( )__( ) _) ) ,\( () )) ) )\ / ( (/\( () )( () )) ) )\_/ (__) (_)(_)(___) (___/ \__/(___/(__/ \__/ \__/ \__/(___/ (_) My husband and I both work, so our family eats out a lot.

The day he arrived at a small country church it snowed about three feet deep. A white bearded farmer was the only person to show up for the service. The young minister looked at the farmer and asked, "What do you think we should do?" The Farmer scratched his beard thoughtfully and said, "Well, I don't know much about preaching, but I do know about farming. If I went down to the pasture with a load of hay to feed my cows and only one cow showed up, I'd feed that cow." The preacher said, "Fine, you sit right there and I'll preach you a sermon." After about ninty minutes of preaching hellfire and brimstone, the minister concluded his sermon. Feeling pretty proud of himself the preacher turned to the farmer and asked, "What did you think?" The farmer scratched his beard thoughtfully and replied, "Like I said, I don't know much about preaching, but I do know about farming. Like I told you, if I went down to the field with a load of hay and only one cow showed up, I'd feed that Cow. But, there's just one thing." The preacher asked, "What's that?" The farmer replied, "I wouldn't feed her the whole load." Sometimes, as Christians, we are tempted to feed our unsaved friends the whole load. We thump our bibles and even figuratively beat people over the head with Christianity. Often our audiences are bewildered by the insider terms we banter about. Unless you have some background in organized church activities, those buzz words are more than a little bewildering, they can be downright frightening. The two prime commandments are to love God and Love People. If we live up to that, the love of Jesus within us will be a great witness. What does the Scripture say about feeding people the whole load? It says simply that we are to be a witness, not a prosecutor. We present the plan of salvation clearly, and then let the God do the rest. We definitely want to use words and clearly articulate the gospel message - just being a "silent witness" is not enough. However, we also need to be wise, and know when we've said all we need to say. Then we just commit them to the work of the Lord. We don't save anyone. We plant the seeds - the Lord does the work. -<>- The Laugh ________ _jgN########Ngg_ _N##N@@"" ""9NN##Np_ d###P N####p "^^" T#### d###P _g###@F _gN##@P gN###F" d###F 0###F 0###F 0###F "NN@' ___ q###r "" >A Serious Question At Hebrew School, the Rabbi finished the day's lesson.

With an even more surprised and shocked look, he asked, "Then why did you EAT HIM???" -<>- >Quick Jokes A women's lib speaker was addressing a large group and said, "Where would man be today if it were not for woman?" She paused a moment and looked around the room. "I repeat, where would man be today if it were not for woman?" From the back of the room came a voice, "He'd be in the Garden of Eden eating strawberries." -------- A new pastor moved into town and went out one Saturday to visit his parishioners. All went well until he came to one house. It was obvious that someone was home, but no one came to the door even after he had knocked several times. Finally, he took out his card, wrote on the back "Revelation 3:20" and stuck it in the door. The next day, as he was counting the offering he found his card in the collection plate. Below his message was the notation "Genesis 3:10". Revelation 3:20 reads: "BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. IF ANY MAN HEARS MY VOICE, AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND DINE WITH HIM AND HE WITH ME." Genesis 3:10 reads: "AND HE SAID, I HEARD THY VOICE IN THE GARDEN, AND I WAS AFRAID BECAUSE I WAS NAKED." -------- (*) (*) (__) ^ ^ (__) (oo) | | | @(oo)@ [..] | = | [..]@@ \ | U (-) | | | | (-) U @@@@ || ==<_\=====/_|______=_____|=|____________=__|____\====/_>== || || ) |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ( || ||___)==||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||==(___|| |\====| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |====/| | \ | | | | / | = * = = = = * = candlelight dinner cfbd Two psychiatrists were at a convention. As they conversed over dinner, one asked, "What was your most difficult case?" The other replied, "I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He believed that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave him a fortune. All day long he waited for a letter to arrive from an attorney. He never went out, he never did anything, he merely sat around and waited for this fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle. I worked with this man eight years." "What was the result?" "It was an eight-year struggle. Every day for eight years, I calmingly, but forcefully, worked with him trying to get him to come out of his fantasy land. I finally cured him!!" And then that stupid letter arrived..." -------- _|_ | / \ //_\\ //(_)\\ |/^\| ,%%%% // \\ ,@@@@@@@, ,%%%%/%%% // \\ ,@@@\@@@@/@@, @@@%%%\%%//%%%// === \\ @@\@@@/@@@@@ @@@@%%%%\%%%%%// =-=-= \\@@@@\@@@@@@;%#####, @@@@%%%\%%/%%// === \\@@@@@@/@@@%%%######, @@@@@%%%%/%%//| |\\@\\//@@%%%%%%#/#### '@@@@@%%\\/%~ | | ~ @|| %\\//%%%#####; @@\\//@|| | __ __ | || %%||%%'###### '@|| || | | | | | || ||##\//#### || || | | -|- | | || ||'#||###' || || |_|__|__|_| || || || || ||_/` ======= `\__||_._|| || jgs__||_/` ======= `\_||___ Six year old Angie, and her four-year old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not suppose to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers." -------- THIS JUST IN: The smoke detector industry is covering up research showing more people are injured every year falling from ladders and stepstools while trying to replace smoke detector batteries than are injured in house fires. -------- More proof that we do all sorts of things that we have no idea why we do: A young couple got married. When the wife prepared to bake a ham to celebrate their first Thanksgiving, she carefully cut off each end before placing it in the pan. Her husband asked her why she did that and she replied, "I don't know - it's what my mother always did. But I can ask her." She called Mom, who responded, "I always saw your Grandma do it, so I did the same." They decided to check further, so the young woman called Grandma, who explained, "Well, you see, in those days we didn't have much money and I only had a small pan. It was the only way I could get it to fit." -------- /:""| .@@@@@, |: 66|_ @@@@@@@@, C _) aa`@@@@@@ \ ._| (_ ?@@@@ ) / =' @@@@" /`\\ \(``` || |Y| //`\ ."~~~~~". || |#| / | || | .:. | || |#| \ | || A | /6 6\ | || |#| / | || |~|_|_\ e /_|_ .@@@@, :| |=: / | |\ |_|)___`"`___(8 aa`@@@, ||_|,| | |_| \ |~~~~~~~~~| = `@@@ \)))|| | ((( | \_________/ )_/`@' |~~~`-`~~~| `~\~~~~~~| |/ /_\ \| / || @ | | `\ / ()/___\() | || @ |_________| ( || ||~~~~~|| /~|| "` |_________| | || || || /__W_\ | || | || || || ||| |_||__ __|_|| ||_____|| _||| jgs (____)) (:;:;)) ||-----|| ((___) My Dad and I were talking the other night about love and marriage.
