One of his clients came in and caught him in the act. The client laughed and quipped, "You press agents are always looking for a plug!" -<>- As a young married couple, a husband and a wife lived in a cheap housing complex near the base where he was working. Their chief complaint was that the walls were paper-thin and that they had no privacy. This was painfully obvious when one morning the wife was upstairs and the husband was downstairs on the telephone. He was interrupted by the doorbell and went to greet his neighbor. "Give this to your wife," he said thrusting a roll of toilet paper into his hands. "She's been yelling for it for 20 minutes!" -<>- A man was driving along the road when all of a sudden he has to swerve to avoid a box falling off the lorry in front. Seconds later a policeman pulled him over for reckless driving. As the policeman starting writing the ticket he noticed the box was full of nails and tacks. "I had to serve or I'd have run over those and blown my tires!" protested the driver. "Ok," replied the officer, ripping up the ticket, "but I'm still bringing you in." "What for?" retorted the man. "Tacks evasion," answered the policeman. ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ January 21 is Martin Luther King Jr. day, National Hugging Day, and Squirrel Appreciation Day January 22 is National Blonde Brownie Day January 23 is National Pie Day, National Handwriting Day, and Measure Your Feet Day January 24 is Beer Can Appreciation Day and Compliment Day January 25 is Opposite Day January 26 is Australia Day and Spouse's Day January 27 is Chocolate Cake Day and Punch the Clock Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: _ ,' |_' -|- _( ) |_ | ||_ - | | ( ): ((`) -| (. `-/ ) - ||_ - | | | ` | '(-.,') '( _\`/-') _ - | | _ - | | ` (_.) -(_._ \|,-_) ||_ - | | | . `. || ` | (_\||_) _ - | ||_ - | | `. ` . || | - ||_ - | | | `. ||-.| : | _ ||_ - | __________ | `. || ` -.| | | _ | | _Doener_ |`'--.._ `. ` - .| | | | || ()._o || __ | \ ` `. ` ` -' .|____|`'---.|>_|| |. || `. `' -- .._|__|__|| ,----.---------- . .-_. _ |.`.,' `. `. || | \ \ _|`. / `. `. \|_o \ | \ `. \.-----_-----.\ ` \ `.|.`| `./ \\ c__)___/ \\ . \ ` `. `. \\____\___)__\\ `. _ `.\`____________\ | \ |_| ____ |_| _ `.|\ |#|__[jrei]__|_|`. \ `================' `. >Car Auction The auto auction I attended was selling cars to benefit charity. Vehicles were classified as either "Running" or "No Start." On the block was a No Starter. It had a shattered windshield, two missing tires, a sagging front bumper, a cockeyed grille, a hood that was sprung up at an angle, and dings and dents all over the body. Before he started the bidding, the auctioneer announced the car's year, make and model, and then read the owner's comments: "Please note - the radio does not work." -<>- >Las Vegas A young couple honeymooning in Las Vegas had been doing very badly in the casinos. The groom told the bride, "I have a hunch that I can turn our luck around if I go down to the casino alone." Once in the casino, he put a dollar into each of two slot machines. He hit the jackpot on both of them and walked away with $10,000. He then played blackjack for a couple of hours until he had $50,000 in chips. Next, he played poker and upped his winnings to $100,000. He was about to cash in his chips when he got a hunch that his luck hadn't run out. So he took all his money and placed it on Red at the roulette table, hoping to double his money. The ball landed on Double Zero. He returned to his room. His bride asked, "How did you do?" The groom shrugged and said, "I lost two dollars." -<>- >Maiden Name Once my divorce was final, I went to the local Department of Motor Vehicles and asked to have my maiden name reinstated on my driver's license. "Will there be any change of address?" the clerk inquired. "No," I replied. "Oh, good," she said, clearly delighted. "You got the house." -<>- >Physically Challenged During my first meeting with my physically challenged students, I assured them that most people are handicapped in some way. "Look at me," I said. "My eyes are so bad, I need to wear glasses. Because I can barely hear, I need a hearing aid. And look at my ears ... they're much bigger than they should be." From the back, a boy added, "And your nose, too." -<>- >Holding the Baby I was visiting my mother in Princeton, New Jersey. My sisters, their husbands and many nieces and nephews had gathered to welcome our newborn son. Suddenly, Sara and Jessica, both five, began to squabble over who'd get to hold the baby on their lap first. My mother, with her years of wisdom, suggested they sit side by side and both hold the baby. Not to be outdone, Sara piped up and said, "Okay! But I want the end with the head on it!" ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseAu :) _ /) mo / ) |/)\) /\_ \__|= ( ) __)(__ _____/ \\_____ | || | _ ___ _ || | | \ | | \ || | | | | | | || | |_/ | |_/ || | | \ | | || | | \ | | || | | \. _|_. | . || | || * | * ** * ** |** ** \))ejm96/.,(//,,..,,\||(,,.,\\,.((// >SMILES A gravedigger, thoroughly absorbed in his work, dug a pit so deep one afternoon that he couldn't climb out when he had finished. Come nightfall and evening's chill, his predicament became more uncomfortable. He shouted for help and at last attracted the attention of a drunk staggering by. "Get me out of here," he pleaded. "I'm cold!" The inebriated one peered into the open grave and finally spotted the shivering digger in the darkness. "Well, no wonder you're cold, buddy," said the drunk, kicking some of the loose sod into the hole. "You haven't got any dirt on you." ---------- Rosy and Shirley had been out of touch for years until they met at the mall one day. Rosy said, "Shirley, it's been so long. I heard you got married." "Yes," said Shirley, "I married a lawyer, and an honest man, too." "Hmmm," said Rosy, "isn't that bigamy?" ---------- Robert wasn't too happy with his doctor's recommendation to cure his constant fatigue. "You want me to give up sex completely, Doc?" he cried. "I'm a young guy. I'm in the prime of my life. How do you expect me to give up making love and go cold turkey?" "Well," replied the doctor, "you could get married and taper off gradually. ---------- Two drunks wandered into a zoo and as they staggered past a lion's cage, the king of beasts let out a terrific roar. "C'mon, let's get out of here," said the first drunk. "You go ahead if you want to," replied his more inebriated cohort. "I'm gonna stay for the movie!" ---------- Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door. "Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya." Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?" That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guiness brewery..." Oh, My no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me..." I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry." Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?" It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guiness Stout and drowned." Oh my dear! But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?" "Well, no Brenda... no." "No?"

This is the copy of letter sent to the leader of the Socialist party in Washington (NANCY PELOSI THE ONE WITH A WALL AROUND HER HOUSE) who sees nothing, hears nothing and does nothing about the SECURITY of our Great Nation but loves spending your tax money on trips. The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madame Speaker: Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate. I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative. I look forward to seeing you soon and even more forward to watching our open and dangerous Southern Border finally receive the attention, funding, and security it so desperately deserves! Sincerely, Donald J. Trump https://tinyurl.com/yav8kjqf --- ...LOL! Thanks LouiseAu! I got such a big kick out of this. A wonderful Trump Touche' for sure! She is supposed to be caring about all those government workers being made to go without pay while the government is shutdown but she forbids any of her Democrats to negotiate on their own with Trump and then takes off on vacations and trips every chance she gets leaving Trump alone in the White House waiting for her to work things out since Christmas. He is the one being the trouper and the one trying to work out a deal so that we can get the country secure and back up and running. Of course she tried to smear him saying he ruined the possibility of her secretly going to Afghanistan so her commercial trip was scrapped. Any one knows that if Pelosi and a bunch of democrats got on board a commercial plane going anywhere that the news media would be all over it so there would be no expectation of privacy anyway. Just more of her blaming Trump for all of her own doing. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Cloie :) .-""------------------------------------^--. | | BROWNING Mod.

The house also featured a secret escape tunnel. By Southern California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable” BUT... In Michigan, he'd be called "the last white guy still living in Detroit.” In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector.” In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector.” In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.” In Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend.” In Wyoming or Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy.” In Idaho, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate.” In Georgia, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor.” In North Carolina, Virginia, WV, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Minnesota he would be called "a deer huntin' buddy.” In Hawaii, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey he would be called a terrorist.

Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately. You call the city and 4 different exterminators, but nobody can handle the job. But there is this one guy and he guarantees to get rid of them, so you hire him. You don't care if the guy smells, you don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he has a plumber's crack, you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best! Here's why we want Trump. Yes he's a bit of outspoken; yes he's an egomaniac; but we don't care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced and gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed! We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorist. This country became weak and bankrupt, our enemies were making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in; " AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED ". And Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but we didn’t vote for a Pope. We voted for a man who doesn't have lobbyist money holding him back, a man who doesn't have political correctness restraining him. We all know that he has been very successful, he’s a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician, not a cowardly politician. And he says he'll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar. Also, we don't care if the guy has bad hair. We just want those raccoons gone, out of our house, NOW! You are welcome to pass this on. Thousands of people who haven't voted in 25 years seem to be getting involved. And the more people get this email the more that will understand why Trump was elected. The raccoons have got to go!" ***I didn't create this post, but I did copy and paste it because it is on point*** -- In God We Trust! --- ...Amen! And So it is. Thanks Cloie! Pelosi seems to care more about those darn raccoons then she does about our own health and well being! We have a right as citizens of this great land to expect that the people we pay to enact our laws have our best interest in mind instead of some lobbyist or special interest group that just wants to give her and her fellow Democrats free stuff like the trip to Puerto Rico they recently went on so they do what they want them too. https://tinyurl.com/ycr3xm5s Thank God Trump won't be bought!

It's recommended the clean down pillows in the washer every 3 - 6 months to remove icky bacteria and nasty odors. Launder comforters as needed, up to 2 times a year - this is because each washing strips the feathers of their natural oils, which will cause them to lose their loft. Dry both items on the lowest heat settings and add clean tennis balls or wool dryer balls (see hint #2) to help evenly redistribute the feathers. Between washings air out your down items, preferably outdoors on a clothesline to help keep them smelling fresh. Spot-treat small stains with a mild dishwashing liquid and water. -<>- Use Less Laundry Detergent Okay guys, this won't save you a ton of time, but it will save you some money. Most people use way too much laundry detergent while doing laundry. While making your own detergent will save you, the easiest way to save is to use less. You know how much the manufacturer recommends you to use? Use LESS than that - use half of what they recommend. Your clothes will be just as clean as using what the bottle recommends - trust me! -<>- Am I new? How have I never thought of trying this... Slicing meat to grind or cook in a stir-fry can be tricky even with the sharpest knife. To make it easier, place the meat in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to stiffen it up. Slicing and dicing the meat is a breeze! -<>- Cold winter days, and frozen car locks Frozen locks? Squirt a little hand sanitizer on them. The isopropyl alcohol that kills germs also lowers the freezing point of water, and can melt the ice inside the lock within seconds. -<>- 'Go Green' Hint: If you can't live without your dishwasher, then at least cut the pre-rinse. With a decent detergent, your dishes will be just as clean and you can save an average of twenty gallons of water per load. -<>- Do you wash your hairbrushes and combs? Hairbrushes gather all sorts of dirt, oil, and hair product build-up - so they should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning your brush is easy! You can use either dish soap or shampoo - your choice. Holding the handle, swirl the head of the brush around in a bowl of warm water. Next, put a few drops of gentle shampoo on the bristles of a toothbrush and use the toothbrush to scrub the bristles and base of the hairbrush. -<>- _____ | D | | | | \___| _ || _______ -( (- |_'(-------) '-' | / _____,-\__..__|_____Pr59 How dirty is your toilet brush? Most people don't think twice about cleaning their toilet brush, but a quick rinse is all that's needed. Putting the brush right back into the holder after using is big no-no. Moisture and the fact that the brush has not been washed causes bacteria to grow super fast. All you need to do is rinse the used brush in the clean toilet water, and let it air dry before putting back in its holder. -<>- 'Go Green' Hint: Switching your bath for a shower can make a huge difference. Baths use approximately double the amount of water a shower uses. This not only saves water, but it saves you money on heating the excess water too. ========================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Justice With Judge Jeanine 1/19/19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_SZIICalPA Vice-President Stands With Pro-Life Marchers https://1600daily.com/2019/01/18/vice-president-stands-pro-life-marchers/ Huge Drug Bust Shows Need For Wall https://1600daily.com/2019/01/18/huge-drug-bust-shows-need-wall/ WhiteHouseNews: https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600daily/ Latest From Big League Politics https://bigleaguepolitics.com/campaign/ Secure the Border - Border Facts https://borderfacts.com/ Latest From AFA: http://tinyurl.com/j7lakqw Students For Life https://tinyurl.com/yd5nxmu6 Latest From OperationRescue: http://www.operationrescue.org/ Today's Best Conservative Humor! https://theusawire.com/2018/03/8092-todays-best-conservative-humor/ Product Alert: Chicken, Pork, Fish https://tinyurl.com/yd4g64ca Health Alert: Salmonella Found in Cake Mix, CDC Issues Statement https://tinyurl.com/yas467fr -<>- >From BizarreNews: There are lots of different ways to achieve fame. You can be really great at something. You could do something really spectacular, or heroic. You could invent something, make a ton of money and maybe change the world. But those are all really hard. Now, thanks to the Internet, you can be famous just by doing something really stupid, as long as it is recorded. Being drunk helps, too. Sometimes this is referred to as 'Hold my beer and watch this.' One such incident happened recently on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. All of the prerequisites are there; a lot of stupidity, alcohol, and a camera. And surprisingly, the idiot lived. Royal Caribbean said a 27-year-old cruise passenger has been banned after he filmed himself jumping from the boat for an Instagram video. Nick Naydev posted a video to Instagram showing how he jumped from the 11th deck of Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, while it was docked last week in the Bahamas. "I was still drunk from the previous night," Naydev explained. "When I woke up I just decided to jump." Naydev was picked up by a nearby small boat and brought back to the cruise liner, where crew members told him he and his companions were being kicked out. Naydev said he spoke to local police, but they told him charges were not being sought. "This was stupid and reckless behavior, and he and his companions have been banned from ever sailing with us again," Royal Caribbean said in a statement to USA Today. "We are exploring legal action." -<>- Frantic zoo keepers rushed to call an ambulance after a vet shot a tranquillizer dart at a man dressed as a gorilla. Police on the Spanish island of Tenerife received a call from a panicked member of the public, who said that a gorilla had escaped from its pen in Loro Park zoo, and was seen running around the theme park. A vet was called, and on spotting the creature fired a tranquillizer dart at its leg with enough sedative to fell a 200 kilo beast. But to his horror, the vet - who had only been in the job for two months - realized that the creature was in fact an employee of the zoo, dressed in a gorilla suit, who was staging a mock escape to practice their emergency routines. The 35-year-old man was taken to the island's University Hospital after the shooting. He was said to be in a serious condition, having suffered an allergic reaction to the tranquillizer, but was expected to make a full recovery. *--- Hershey Highway ---* The morning commute for some Arizona drivers was a little stickier than normal Monday as an accident involving a tanker truck caused "a river of chocolate" to flow over the westbound lanes of the I-40 near Flagstaff. The tanker truck was carrying some 3,500 gallons of liquid chocolate when it was involved in an unspecified accident causing the vehicle to rollover and dump its sweet cargo on the highway, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said in a tweet. "This will be a sweet cleanup!" the ADPS said. This is not the first accident in recent months involving liquid chocolate - a storage tank at a chocolate factory in Germany overflowed and about one ton of the country's iconic sweet flowed through the factory's gates and into a road, solidifying into a 33-square-foot "choco-pancake," according to the Werl Fire Brigade, which participated in the cleanup. *--- Commuters Drop Drawers for No Pants Subway Ride ---* Hundreds of commuters in two dozen cities around the world dropped their trousers for the annual Global No Pants Subway Ride. The No Pants Subway Ride, which began in 2002 as a stunt by "prank collective" Improv Everywhere, was held Sunday in cities including London, Copenhagen, Buenos Aires, Chicago, San Francisco and Berlin. The flagship event in New York saw dozens of people braving 32-degree weather to ride the subway in their underwear. "There is no agenda for the event apart from a desire to make others laugh and smile," Improv Everywhere said on its website. "Improv Everywhere founder Charlie Todd refers to the event as a 'celebration of silliness.'" *--- Pet Alligator Is An Emotional Support Animal ---* A Pennsylvania man says his pet alligator is an emotional support animal, and he has been taking the reptile to visit the elderly. Joie Henney, who hosted his own hunting and fishing show from 1989 until 2000 on outlets including ESPN Outdoors, and his 4 1/2-foot alligator, Wally, paid a visit to the Glatfelter Community Center at assisted living development the Village at Sprenkle Drive north of York. Henney encouraged residents and staff members not to be afraid of the alligator's mouth full of teeth. "He's just like a dog," Henney told the York Daily Record. "He wants to be loved and petted." He said Wally pays frequent visits to schools and senior centers. Henney said the alligator is a registered emotional support animal. Henney said Wally spends the bulk of his time in a 300-gallon pond in his living room. He said the gator enjoys watching TV and hiding in his home's cupboards. ========================================================= >-->From TheGroaner: __.------.

"What would happen if I threw a lit match into the hole?" I joked. "It would go out," he replied very matter-of-factly. "Really?" I asked, surprised to hear that. "Is there a lack of oxygen down there or some safety device that would extinguish it before the fumes ignited?" "No," my co-worker continued. "The force from the explosion would most likely blow it out." -<>- "The thrill is gone from my marriage," Bill told his friend Doug. "Why not add some intrigue to your life and have an affair?" Doug suggested. "I just don't think I can do that to my wife." "Heck, this is a new age we live in, Bill. Go ahead and tell her about it!" So Bill went home and said, "Dear, I think an affair will bring us closer together." "Forget it," said his wife. "I've tried it so many times and it's never worked." -<>- Even though there was a blizzard raging outside, I made it the half-mile to the bakery, where I asked the owner for six rolls. "Your wife must love these rolls," he said. "How do you know these are for my wife?" I asked. "Because I don't think your mother would send you out in weather like this." -<>- Finishing up our work at a trade show in San Diego, my co- worker Maureen and I decided to go sightseeing across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. While there, we went shopping and bought a few pieces of clay kitchenware. As we crossed back into the United States, a customs official asked if we had anything of value to report. "Not really," Maureen replied, digging in her bag for the bean crock she had purchased. Everyone around us froze as she continued, "I only bought a little pot." -<>- _____________________________________ |""|""|""|""|""|""|""|""|""|""|""|""|"| | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | jgs '-------------------------------------' >Metric Conversion Chart 10**12 Microphones = 1 Megaphone 10 cards = 1 decacards 10 rations = 1 decoration 10 millipedes = 1 centipede 8 nickles = 2 paradigms 2000 mockingbirds = two kilomockingbirds 453.6 graham crackers = 1 pound cake 3 1/3 tridents = 1 decadent 10 monologs = 5 dialogues 2 monograms = 1 diagram 2 snake eyes = 1 paradise -<>- ______________ ||\ || || \ || || \ || || | || "Boy, is it ever cold!" || |_________| / || | / || | (((( [:] || | %%%%))))) || | %%%%%%__/ || (|)%%%%%% \\ || | // \\__// || |(/____\) | _|| | //\\ |||_____________ \ | (_)(_))(_) \ | \| \ \ "You said it, Billy. It's fr-fr-freezin'." >Class Test... The following excerpts are actual answers given on history tests and in Sunday School quizzes by children between 5th and 6th grade ages in Ohio. They were collected by two teachers over a period of three years. Read carefully for grammar, misplaced modifiers, and, of course, spelling. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Since then no one ever found it. Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached Canada but the commandos made it. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. He was a actual hysterical figure as well as being in the bible. It sounds Like he was sort of busy too. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a young female moth. Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out "Same to you, Brutus." Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah!" and that was the end of the fighting for a long while. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by Rubbing two cats back- ward and also declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand." He was a naturalist for sure. Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead. Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's Mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands... Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steam- boat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He wrote the Organ of the Species. It was very long. People got upset about it and had trials to see if it was really true. Madman Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she did. Other women have become scientists since her but they didn't get to find radios because they were already taken. ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: Seem to be or not seem to be.... \ ,,,,,, /e ''( (_ ` \ ___> \ / ,_\-.___ \_ / _)/ / \ | \ / ` _ | __\____/ / ' | / _ /______/ / _/ \,_____/o ( \__)/` \ / \__________/_/_ _/ \ \ )/ \ / / | /\ ( \_____/ ___/ \ \ _/ \ ______/_/___|_| ) \ / / o\ o\ / / /\ b'ger,,,'-----^--',,,,,,',,|_,,\_ ,,\/,, >Andy Says... Just Think About This! People who live beyond their means should act their wage. If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way. A fool and his money are some party. No more negotiating - it's a dumb deal. Perforation is a rip off. Some people will grow up and spread cheer, others just grow up and spread. When somebody tells me to restrain myself, does that mean I have to strain twice? A waiter who played tennis was great at serving. My doctor says I have insomnia, but not to lose any sleep over it.

One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; She would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively, then speak to them. Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off, but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money for something she carried in her bag. The couple assumed she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her. After a couple of weeks the wife asked, "Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?" He said he hadn't. Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing." Well, the plan went off without a hitch, and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road. "Well, is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly. "No, she's not," he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have. "Well, what is it, then?" his wife fairly shrieked. The man grinned and said. "She's a battery salesperson." "Batteries?" cried the wife. "Yes" he replied. "She sells C cells by the seashore." -<>- >Her Answering Machine I purchased a telephone-answering machine with a prerecorded message that used a male voice. When Mother returned from vacation, I forgot to mention it to her. The next Saturday, the phone rang and the machine answered. After the message, there was a pause and the caller hung up. A second time and the same result. Then the phone rang a third time. "This is your mother, I think," I heard. "If I am, please call me." -<>- >Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes ** A couple months ago, I entered a contest and ended up winning a few acres of swamp land below the flood plane in Mississippi. Before I knew it, right after that I won a $250,000 house, so naturally I built it on my new land. So I quit my job and moved down there for good. And just last night, as sat on my new porch watching the rain and listening to the thunder, it all started to sink in. -<>- >The Boss Of The Year At an annual Bosses Night dinner for Helena, Mont., lawyers, sponsored by legal secretaries, it was time to announce the Boss of the Year. The master of ceremonies began: "First of all, our winner is a graduate of the University of Montana. So that already eliminates some of you as candidates. "Our winner also is a partner in a downtown Helena law firm. That eliminates some more of you. "Our nominee is honest, upright, dedicated..." A voice from the audience cut in: "Well, there go the rest of us!" [Contributed to Reader's Digest.] -<>- >Midlife For Women I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great menopause will be.... Puhleeeeeeeze! I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck) you'll probably relate. Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache. Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around. Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless. In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water. Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally -- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin. Mid-life means that you become more reflective... You start pondering the "big" questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice? But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now for the body you had way back when? Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it! -<>- >Let Me In Do you remember back when a lot of little churches built the john (bathroom) behind the pulpit? There was often an outside, hallway door to access it from the other side. In such a church the pastor was waxing eloquent on Rev. 3:20. With great pathos he exclaimed that the Lord is standing at the door of your heart and crying, "Let Me in. Let Me in!" He walked over to the aforementioned door just off the pulpit. He reminded us that God was at our heart's door and heavily pounded on it crying "Let Me in. Let Me in!" when back came the plaintive cry, "For heaven's sake, one minute, PLEASE!!" -<>- . \ | / _\|/_ .'

"I want to write things the whole world will read," he declared, "stuff that will elicit strong emotions from people in every walk of life. I want my writing to make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!" He now lives happily ever after in Redmond, Wash., writing error messages for Microsoft. ---- ** "A California congressman was reporting back on his trip from Baghdad.

They're "vertically enhanced." - You're not shy. You're "conversationally selective." - You don't talk a lot. You're just "abundantly verbal." - It's not called gossip anymore. It's "transmission of near-factual information." - The food at the school cafeteria isn't awful. It's "digestively challenged." - Your homework isn't missing; it's just having an "out-of-notebook experience." - You're not sleeping in class; you're "rationing consciousness." - You don't have smelly gym socks; you have "odor-retentive athletic footwear." - You weren't passing notes in class. You were "participating in the discreet exchange of penned meditations." - You're not being sent to the principal's office. You're "going on a mandatory field trip to the administrative building." -<>- >All The Thanks I Need A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you." "My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek." -<>- _ / } /'.\ _/ ) (`- ( ,) |/ /| ' ` Elb >The Revenge Of The Blondes A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines, and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa." Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. Okay says the lawyer, your turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworker, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500. The blonde says, "Thank you", and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep. ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Mother Squirrel's Love http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/motherslove.html All About Hugs http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/hugs.html Wild Kisses And Snuggles http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wildkisses.html Random Acts Of Kindness http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/actsofkindness.html Baby Squirrel Finnegan http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/finnegan.html Sweet Humanity http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/sweethumanity.html World Of Squirrels http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/worldofsquirrels.html True Heroes http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/trueheroes.html Cute Squirrels http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/squirrels.html Awesome Tree Houses http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/treehouses.html Snow Fun 3 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/snowfun3.html Freedom Isn't Free http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/freedom.html World's Coldest City http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/coldestcity.html -<>- Some of Shangrala's Best Pages http://www.amazafamily.com/index.html Trains Plowing Snow In Action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKL9_TaioE4 10 Coolest Strongest Toys Which Actually Exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9Fu6Leb_aE Cats! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEkSYw3o5is 12 Mysterious Discoveries in Alaska https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSVfohfxNWQ Mother cow clearly asks man to rescue her newborn calf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6ezUbjRHE Pig Raised By Cats Thinks He’s One Of Them Now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=xVIbwE_eGK0 -<>- >From Our Friend LouiseAu :) Talk a walk back in time as the Statler Brothers sing “Do You Remember These”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puGQsQux80k The People Vs Winter is that annual struggle against cold, ice, and snow that occurs every winter in places that actually experience something that can be called winter.
