The conversation turned to Mozart. "Absolutely brilliant, magnificent, a genius!" The woman, wanting to join in the conversation, remarked casually, "Ah, Mozart. You’re so right. I love him. Only this morning I saw him getting on the No. 5 bus going to Victoria station." There was a sudden hush, and everyone looked at her. Her husband was mortified. He pulled her away and whispered, "We're leaving right now. Get your coat and let's get out of here." As they drove home, he kept muttering to himself. Finally his wife turned to him. "You're angry about something." "Oh really? You noticed?" he sneered. "I've never been so embarrassed in my life! You saw Mozart take the No.5 bus to Victoria station? You idiot! Don't you know the No.5 bus doesn't go out to Victoria station?" -<>- "What am I supposed to do with this?" grumbled the motorist as the police clerk handed him a receipt for his traffic violation.

Before they teed off, Bolt told him, "Don't say a word to me. And if I ask you something, just answer yes or no." During the round, Bolt found the ball next to a tree, where he had to hit under a branch, over a lake and onto the green. He got down on his knees and looked through the trees and sized up the shot. "What do you think?" he asked the caddy. "Five iron?" "No," the caddy said. "What do you mean, not a five iron?" Bolt snorted. "Watch this shot." The caddy rolled his eyes. "Nooo, Mr. Bolt." But Bolt hit it and the ball stopped about two feet from the hole. He turned to his caddy, handed him the five-iron and said, "Now what do you think about that? You can talk now." "Mr. Bolt," the caddy said, "that wasn't your ball." -<>- >Canine Division A friend of mine is a deputy with the sheriff's department canine division. One evening, the deputy was dispatched to the scene of a possible burglary, where he discovered the back door of a building ajar. He let the dog out of his patrol car and commanded it to enter and seek. Jumping from the back seat, the dog headed for the building. After lunging through the doorway, the dog froze and backed out.

No problems for the first few stops, a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back. Did we mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically weak? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened--Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of his summer vacation, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, "And why not?" With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass." -------- Three girls are walking through the desert, a blonde, a red head and a brunette, come across a genie. They ask the genie if they can have something to drink. The genie tells them to go down the slide and yell what drink they want and then they will land in a pool of it. The red head goes down and yells "soda!!!!", so she lands in a pool of soda. The brunette goes down and yells "lemonade!!!!!!", so she lands in a pool of lemonade. The Blonde goes down and yells "weeee!!!!!!!!!"........... -------- A priest and a minister are standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground. The sign reads: "The End is Near! Turn Yourself Around Now Before It's Too Late!" A car speeds past them, the driver yelling, "Leave us alone, you religious nuts!" There is the sound of screeching tires followed by a big splash. The priest turns to the minister and asks, "Do you think the sign should just say 'Bridge Out'"? ------- My relatives had tickets to a play at a fancy theater one evening. We got all nicely dressed up in formal attire and started to head out. Right as we pulled out of the driveway, my aunt happens to look at the tickets again, and realizes its actually for the next night. Bummed out, as we pull back into the garage my little cousin says, "So this is what they mean by ‘All dressed up and no where to go.'" -------- Dad's a 'safety-first' kind of guy. But while vacationing with some buddies, he was talked into going parasailing.

"Every time it breaks." -------- We doctors are used to getting calls at any hour. One night a man phoned, waking me up. “I’m sorry to bother you so late,” he said, “but I think my wife has appendicitis.” Still half asleep, I reminded him that I had taken his wife’s inflamed appendix out a couple of years before. “Whoever heard of a second appendix?” I asked. “You may not have heard of a second appendix,” he replied, “but surely you’ve heard of a second wife.” -------- A father noticed that his son was spending way too much time playing computer games. In an effort to motivate the boy into focusing more attention on his schoolwork, the father said to his son, "When Abe Lincoln was your age, he was studying books by the light of the fireplace." The son replied, "When Abe Lincoln was your age, he was the President of The United States." -------- An old man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the movie theater. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the old man, "Sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The old man didn't budge. The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager." Once again, the old man just muttered and did nothing. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old disheveled man, but with no success. Finally they summoned the police. The officer surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy what's your name?" "Fred," the old man moaned. "Where ya from, Fred?" asked the police officer. With a terrible grunt in his voice, and without moving, Fred replied... "The balcony. ------- One day a rich famous man went to buy a sport car from a dealership. The price of the car was $80,000 and the man had only $79,998 to pay. The sales associate insisted that the price is firm and "It has to be $80,000." The man came out of the store and looked around. He saw a poor man, begging for help. He went toward him and introduced himself; He asked if the man is kind enough to lend him $2. The poor man asked the reason. He replied, "I'm trying to buy a car." The poor man thought for a moment. Then he gave the man $4 and said, "Please... buy one for me, too!" -------- A girl, who was not quite four years old, was alone in the house while Dad mowed the lawn, when the phone rang. She answered it and was told that Mr. Brown was calling. "I'm sorry, no one is here. Can I take a message?" she said. Mr. Brown replied, "Certainly." After a pause, Mr. Brown heard, "OK, I'm ready. Who did you say this is?" "Mr. Brown." "How do you spell Brown?" "B-r-o-w-n." A long pause, and then, "How do you make a capital B?" -------- The doctor examines the now-elderly Shapiros separately, but then calls Mrs. Shapiro back in. "You both are in fine shape for your age, " he tells her, "but there's one little problem your husband mentioned. He says that, as far as your lovemaking is concerned, he's very satisfied, but claims everything is fine the first time, but the second time he gets all hot and sweaty, perspiration just flowing off him. Can you explain this situation?" "Sure, Doctor," she says. "The first time is in December, the second time is in July!" -------- The pediatrician played a game with some of his young patients to put them at ease and test their knowledge of body parts. One day, while pointing to a little boy's ear, the doctor asked him, "Is this your nose?" Immediately the little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I think we'd better find a new doctor." -------- A guy walks into a Washington, D.C., Catholic Church confessional. He tells the priest, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. Last night, I beat up a congressman."

The cheese never needed a fridge, And the bread was so crusty and hot The children were seldom unhappy And the wife was content with her lot. I remember the milk from the bottle, With the yummy cream on the top, Our dinner came hot from the oven, And not from the fridge; in the shop. The kids were a lot more contented, They didn't need money for kicks, Just a game with their mates in the road, And sometimes the Saturday flicks. I remember the shop on the corner, Where a pen'orth of sweets was sold Do you think I'm a bit too nostalgic? Or is it...I'm just getting old? I remember the 'loo' was the lav And the bogey man came in the night, It wasn't the least bit funny Going "out back" with no light. The interesting items we perused From the newspapers cut into squares, And hung on a peg in the loo, It took little to keep us amused. The clothes were boiled in the copper With plenty of rich foamy suds But the ironing seemed never ending As Mum pressed everyone's 'duds'. I remember the slap on my backside, And the taste of soap if I swore Anorexia and diets weren't heard of And we hadn't much choice what we wore. Do you think that bruised our ego? Or our initiative was destroyed? We ate what was put on the table And I think life was better enjoyed. --- ...Aww yes Indeed. Some I can relate to!

Matthew Lloyd was carrying a "black messenger-style bag" as he entered Defiant MMA in Burbank, California. It is unclear what his intentions were, but local media reported that police suspect the 30-year-old was about to attempt an armed robbery. When police arrived at the scene, Lloyd was "being subdued by another male inside the facility." Lightweight MMA fighter Jacobe Powell, knocked the gun out of the suspect's hand and pinned him down until police arrived to take him into custody," Burbank Police said in a statement. "In order to protect himself, the instructor used martial arts to control and subdue the suspect until police arrived," they added. "It was learned the suspect was in fact armed with a loaded handgun, which was inside the messenger bag." No shots were fired within the gym. But numerous chest and fist bumps were reported afterward. -<>- A man called police after his wife stopped him from playing in the park with his buddies--with a handgun. George Postell of Florida, said that he was playing dominoes with his friends at the park in High Springs. His wife approached the group of players, and told them get up and leave. The group of players complied with the irritated woman's demands. George got up as well and he began walking away from his wife together with his friends. 44-year-old Twyla Postell was not happy with her husband's actions, and according to witnesses, she pulled out a gun and shot in his direction. Thankfully, she did not aim well and missed her husband. Police were called and Twyla was arrested. Twyla denied the claim that she fired a shot. She said that the sound came from kids' fireworks. When police did not believe her over eyewitnesses, Twyla said that she is on probation for battery and that she "wouldn't do anything to mess that up," according to police. Twyla was booked into the Alachua County Jail, on a charge of domestic violence and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. *---- Out Of The Frying Pan, Into The Fire ----* A man who swam out into the ocean to elude North Carolina police managed to escape from a shark and a drone camera, but not the long arm of the law. The Surf City Police Department said Zachary Kingsbury, 20, was pulled over and officers asked him to step out of the car when they spotted what appeared to be illegal drugs inside the vehicle. Police said Kingsbury ran into the ocean and started swimming out to sea. The police department deployed a camera drone to track the swimming suspect and the aircraft managed to keep pace with Kingsbury for about an hour before losing visual contact approximately 4,000 feet from shore. The video recorded by the drone shows a shark swimming nearby Kingsbury at one point during his swim, but the man failed to capture the predator's attention and it left him alone. Kingsbury was finally located near the Wicker Avenue Beach Access in North Topsail Beach. He was arrested on multiple drug-related charges. *--- Naked Skydiver Plays Violin: Australia ---* An Australian man celebrated his 30th birthday by skydiving naked while playing a violin to promote male body image. Musician Glen Donnelly leapt from a plane over New South Wales in hopes of raising a total of $15,000 for a trio of charities related to mental health and body image. "I'm being a real man by sharing the struggles that have plagued my life for ten years," Donnely wrote on the GoFundMe page. Donnelly completed the tandem jump wearing nothing but a harness as he played "Happy Birthday" for himself on the $50 violin. Donnelly compared his nerves prior to the nude skydiving stunt to the anxiety he felt dealing with his body dysmorphic disorder. In the two days following Donnelly's jump he was able to raise nearly $3,500 of his $15,000 goal. *-- The Wheels On The Bus Go 'Round and 'Round --* A man who wanted a ride to Florida, stole a school bus and led police in a high-speed chase, according to police in Alabama. Blount County Sheriff's Office notified the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office of a school bus that had been stolen in their jurisdiction. The description of the bus was given and the suspect was described as a white male. At approximately 8:00 a.m., Jefferson County Deputies in the Bessemer Division came into contact with the stolen bus and attempted to get the vehicle to stop. The driver refused to stop and a pursuit ensued. Deputies along with several other law enforcement agencies continued to follow the bus throughout the Birmingham area. The bus finally came to a stop after an Alabama State Trooper vehicle was hit as the trooper was attempting to deploy stop sticks. He then threw two guns out of the bus. The driver told police that his friends were taking him to Florida, when he got into a fight with them. He was kicked out of the car in Alabama, then decided to steal the school bus to drive himself to Florida. *------ Wasn't Ben Affleck In This Movie? ------* Two women dressed up as nuns and tried to rob a bank before running away, according to police in Pennsylvania.

I spent hours doing a perfect job, but when the owner came to pick it up, he wasn't pleased. "What's wrong?" I asked.

We hope you enjoy them and will want more." After several months the tobacco company received this reply from Dave: "I got your cigarettes and soaked them in a quart of water which I sprayed on my bug-infested rosebushes. Every bug died! These cigarettes make best poison ever! Please send me some more next month in case any bugs survived." -<>- The teacher in an adult Sabbath class asked a woman to read about the Israelites wandering in the desert. "The Lord heard you when you wailed, 'If only we had meat to eat!'" she began. "Now the Lord will give you meat. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, or ten or twenty days, but for a month - until you loathe it." When the woman finished she paused, looked up and said, "Hey, isn't that the Atkins diet?" -<>- A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in Vegas. She's down to her last $50. Exasperated, she exclaims to the whole table, "What rotten luck I've had today! What in the world should I do now?" A man standing next to her suggests, "I don't know... why don't you play your age?" He walks away, but moments later, his attention is grabbed by a great commotion at the roulette table. Maybe she won! He rushes back to the table and pushes his way through the crowd. The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table operator kneeling over her. The man is stunned. He asks, "What happened? Is she all right?" The operator replies, "I don't know. She put all her money on 29, and when 36 came up she just fainted!" ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: _,,aaaaa,,_ _,dP"'' `""""Ya,_ ,aP"' `"Yb,_ ,8"' `"8a, ,8" `"8,_ ,8" "Yb, ,8" `8, dP' 8I ,8" bg,_ ,P' ,8' "Y8"Ya,,,,ad" ,d" a,_ I8 `"""' ,8' ""888 dP __ `Yb, dP' _,d8P::::Y8b, `Ya ,adba8',d88P::;;::;;;:"b:::Ya,_ Ya dP":::"Y88P:;P"""YP"""Yb;::::::"Ya, "Y, 8:::::::Yb;d" _ "_ dI:::::::::"Yb,__,,gd88ba,db Yb:::::::"8(,8P _d8 d8:::::::::::::Y88P"::::::Y8I `Yb;:::::::""::"":b,,dP::::::::::::::::::;aaa;:::8( `Y8a;:::::::::::::::::::::;;::::::::::8P""Y8)::8I 8b"ba::::::::::::::::;adP:::::::::::":::dP::;8' `8b;::::::::::::;aad888P::::::::::::::;dP::;8' `8b;::::::::""""88" d::::::::::b;:::::;;dP' "Yb;::::::::::Y8bad::::::::::;"8Paaa""' `"Y8a;;;:::::::::::::;;aadP"" ``""Y88bbbdddd88P""8b, _,d8"::::::"8b, ,dP8"::::::;;:::"b, ,dP"8:::::::Yb;::::"b, ,8P:dP:::::::::Yb;::::"b, _,dP:;8":::::::::::Yb;::::"b ,aaaaaa,,d8P:::8":::::::::::;dP:::::;8 ,ad":;;:::::"::::8"::::::::::;dP::::::;dI dP";adP":::::;:;dP;::::aaaad88"::::::adP:8b,___ d8:::8;;;aadP"::8'Y8:d8P"::::::::::;dP";d"'`Yb:"b 8I:::;""":::::;dP I8P"::::::::::;a8"a8P" "b:P Yb::::"8baa8"""' 8;:;d"::::::::d8P"' 8" "YbaaP::8;P `8;d::;a::;;;;dP ,8 `"Y8P"' Yb;;d::;aadP" ,d' "YP:::"P' ,d' "8bdP' _ ,8' Normand ,8"`""Yba,d" ,d" Veilleux ,P' d"8' ,d" ,8' d'8' ,P' (b 8 I 8, Y, Y,Y, `b, ____ "8,__ `Y,Y, `Y""b, ,adP""""b8P""""""""Ybdb, Y, ,dP" ,dP' `"" `8 ,8" ,P' ,P 8' 8) ,8' 8, Yb ,aP' `Ya Yb ,ad"' "Ya,___ "Ya ,ad"' ``""""""`Yba,,,,,,,adP"' `"""""""' ** If we attend continually and promptly to the little that we can do, we shall long be surprised to find out how little remains that we cannot do. - Samuel Butler ** Enthusiasm is the element of success in everything. It is the light that leads and the strength that lifts people on and up in the great struggles of scientific pursuits and of professional labor. It robs endurance of difficulty, and makes pleasure of duty. --Bishop Doane ** Many of life's circumstances are created by three basic choices: the disciplines you choose to keep, the people you choose to be with; and, the laws you choose to obey. -- Charles Millhuff ** 'Laughter can relieve tension, soothe the pain of disappointment, and strengthen the spirit for the formidable tasks that always lie ahead.' -Dwight D. Eisenhhower- -<>- ** Four People ** Once upon a time, there were four people; Their names were Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Whenever there was an important job to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Nobody would do it. So consequently Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place. -<>- .-""""--. / ) / --"` / _`:---. | .-' `\ \ / .----'./ \ : ,-' ~(.).)\ \_| \ ._) | / | \.__, / _.--' )`///-,-' / / _| (_\\ | (____/____) \ ___/ | _ `---( ` ) `-, .'

Everybody makes fun of our childhood! Comedians joke. Grandkids snicker. Twenty-something's shudder and say "Eeeew!" But was our childhood really all that bad? Judge for yourself: In 1953 The US population was less than 150 million... Yet you knew more people then, and knew them better... And that was good. The average annual salary was under $3,000... Yet our parents could put some of it away for a rainy day and still live a decent life... And that was good. A loaf of bread cost about 15 cents... But it was safe for a five-year-old to skate to the store and buy one... And that was good. Prime-Time meant I Love Lucy, Ozzie and Harriet, Gunsmoke and Lassie... So nobody ever heard of ratings or filters... And that was good. We didn't have air-conditioning... So the windows stayed up and half a dozen mothers ran outside when you fell off your bike... And that was good. Your teacher was either Miss Matthews or Mrs. Logan or Mr. Adkins... But not Ms Becky or Mr. Dan... And that was good. The only hazardous material you knew about... Was a patch of sandburrs around the light pole at the corner... And that was good. You loved to climb into a fresh bed... Because sheets were dried on the clothesline... And that was good. People generally lived in the same hometown with their relatives... So "child care" meant grandparents or aunts and uncles... And that was good. Parents were respected and their rules were law.... Children did not talk back.... and that was good. TV was in black-and-white... But all outdoors was in glorious color... And that was certainly good. Your Dad knew how to adjust everybody's carburetor... And the Dad next door knew how to adjust all the TV knobs... And that was very good. Your grandma grew snap beans in the back yard... And chickens behind the garage... And that was definitely good. And just when you were about to do something really bad... Chances were you'd run into your Dad's high school coach... Or the nosy old lady from up the street... Or your little sister's piano teacher... Or somebody from Church... ALL of whom knew your parents' phone number... And YOUR first name... And even THAT was good! ~~~Andy Says... This is the truth as I am a product of that era~~~ -<>- ,-.
