I know at least one of my subscribers and dear friend, Bob Peters, is a WW2 veteran and I wish to honor him and all others who are veterans of any of the wars. Their bravery and courage are what keeps America free. God Bless each and every one of you veterans!! What better way to celebrate Memorial day than honor Sgt. Reckless, a horse that carried the wounded in the war. Shangrala's Sgt. Reckless - War Horse Hero! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/sgtreckless.html --- ..I do so Agree Thanks Fran! - of course, there is America's favorite War Hero Pit Bull... Meet America's first war dog, a stray Pit Bull/Terrier mix, named Stubby. He became Sgt. Stubby, was the most decorated war dog of World War I and the only dog to be promoted to sergeant through combat. SGT. STUBBY WAR DOG HERO! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/stubbywardog.html But then you can't forget these Heroes either... They once were among the most universally admired and revered men in the United States .. There were 80 of the Raiders in April 1942, when they carried out one of the most courageous and heart-stirring military operations in this nation's history. The mere mention of their unit's name, in those years, would bring tears to the eyes of grateful Americans. THE FINAL TOAST! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/finaltoast.html William Overstreet Jr., a former captain in the U.S. Air Corps, famously flew his plane beneath the Eiffel Tower in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1944, lifting the spirits of French troops on the ground. In 2009, he was presented with France's Legion of Honor award. WWII P-51 MUSTANG PILOT! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wwiipilot.html Many still remember these cartoons and their artist Bill Mauldin. He's a WWII hero to them. WILLIE, JOE AND BILL IN WWII! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/mauldin.html And then who too could forget the Motivations used to keep us Free? He is engraved in stone in the National War Memorial in Washington, DC- back in a small alcove where very few people have seen it. For the WWII generation, this will bring back memories. For you younger folks, it's a bit of trivia that is a part of our American history. Anyone born in 1913 to about 1950, is familiar with Kilroy. No one knew why he was so well known- but everybody seemed to get into it. So who was Kilroy? KILROY WAS HERE! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/kilroywashere.html These photos were made during World War I by artists Mole & Thomas. The number of people coming together to form an image beats all the records. 'On a stifling July day in 1918, 18,000 officers and soldiers posed as Lady Liberty on the parade grounds at Camp Dodge. According to a July 3, 1986, story in the Fort Dodge Messenger, many men fainted-they were dressed in woolen uniforms-as the temperature neared 105 degrees Farenheit. The photo, taken from the top of a specially constructed tower by a Chicago photography studio, Mole & Thomas, was intended to help promote the sale of war bonds but was never used.' (Grover 1987) WWI HUMAN ART! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/humanart.html These are some completely amazing 4x5 Kodachrome transparencies by Alfred Palmer for the Office of War Information from 1942/43. They are a documentation of the WWII war effort in the US. Clearly they're staged and with a view to propaganda, but they are a fascinating hyper-real slice of the US in the early 40's. What is really astounding is to think that these images are 70 years old. They look better today than they probably did when they were taken because there is so much information buried in each one. There's no grain and the colours are simply astounding! There's even photos shot in very low light that came out breathtaking.

It's less than 40 square miles, a flat green dot in the vastness of Pacific blue. Flying over it, you'll notice a slash across its north end of uninhabited bush. A long thin line that looks like an overgrown dirt runway. If you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't give it a second glance. This Ohio 'Heroes' 1999 Chevy 4X4 with a Cadillac front clip owned by the Dale Ison Logging Co., Hillsboro, Ohio is awesome to say the least! 'It's designed to honor military, firefighters, nurses... anyone who helps America,' says owner Dale Ison. HEROES TRUCK! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/herotruck.html CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.: Karla Comfort received a lot of looks and even some salutes from people when she drove from Benton, Ark.., to Camp Pendleton, CA, in her newly-painted, custom Hummer H3 March 2. The vehicle is adorned with the likeness of her son, 20-year-old Lance Cpl. John M. Holmason, and nine other Marines with F Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division who were all killed by the same improvised explosive device blast in Fallujah, Iraq, in December.

A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station...... If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"? Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks? What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on me... they were cramming for their finals. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with little tiny spoons and forks, so I wonder what Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks? Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . . write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail? How much deeper would oceans be if sponges didn't live there? If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the OTHERS here for? Clones are people two. If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he still wrong? Go ahead and take risks....just be sure that everything will turn out okay. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zig-zag? Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation? If a cow laughed, would milk come out its nose? I went for a walk last night and my kids asked me how long I'd be gone. I said, "The whole time." So what's the speed of dark? How come you don't ever hear about "gruntled" employees? And who has been dissing them anyhow? After eating, do amphibians need to wait an hour before getting OUT of the water? Why don't they just make mouse-flavored cat food? If you're sending someone some Styrofoam, what do you pack it in? I just got skylights put in my place. The people who live above me are furious. Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections? Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny? Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse? Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have an "s" in it? Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? How come abbreviated is such a long word? If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? Since Americans throw rice at weddings, do Asians throw hamburgers? ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ May 25 is Memorial Day, National Missing Children's and Tap Dance Day May 26 is Sally Ride Day May 27 is Sun Screen Day May 28 is Amnesty International Day May 29 is Learn About Composting Day May 30 is Water a Flower Day, National Macaroon Day and World No Tobacco Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: _____ _.-'" "'-._ ,-".-. .-."-. ,' .-. .-. `, / / _\ / _\ \ .-. | | ( | | ( | | .-. .-----\ \ | '---' '---' | / /-----. :---- |--| ', ,' |--| ----: :---- '-`|--| ^"-.,_______,.-;^ |--|`-' ----: '---....' | _ `-' | '....---' | [ '-"-.-"-. | \ | .-. .-. | / `. | | | | | | ,' `._ [___]|__]|__] _,' `--.._____..--' / / \ \ jgs / / \ \ .---'"=="\ /"=="'---.

She asked him to read the recipe and ingredients to her, doubling them as he went along. He did as she said, and thus his first instruction was to preheat the oven to seven hundred degrees. -<>- >Injuries I broke a leg, arm and four teeth in a motorcycle accident. On the second day of my hospital stay, a middle-aged man became my roommate. I overheard a nurse say the man had a compound fracture of his tibia and a fractured clavicle. The next day, my roommate asked me how I got injured. "That's terrible," he said when I told him about my crash. "I used to ride when I was younger, but not anymore. It's just too dangerous." "How did you get injured?" I asked him. "Skydiving," he replied. -<>- >I Remember..... I remember carbon paper. I remember the smell of the mimeograph. I remember the fading "dot" when you turned off the television. I remember illegally copying music by holding a tape recorder up to an AM radio. (and that you used to have to push the "record" and "play" buttons at the same time to get it to record). I remember opening a can of Spam with a key (and tuna fish too). I remember when milk was delivered to your door in pint & quart sized glass bottles. I remember opening a bank account with one dollar. I remember some relatives not having an indoor toilet. I remember leaded gasoline. You could only get watermelon in the summer. I remember adjusting roller skates with a skate key. I remember phone booths. I remember when you returned empty soda bottles, they sent them back to the factory to be cleaned and refilled; and you got your deposit back. -<>- >Memorial Day 2015 (Serious, Not Humor) The joke for today has been sent. I want to be serious for a moment and talk about the holiday which will be celebrated here in the United States on Monday. In the United States, Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday in May and honors those men and women who lost their lives serving their country. What we celebrate as Memorial Day today, began at the end of the Civil War. Family members of the many soldiers slain in battle would visit the grave sites of their fallen relatives or friends and decorate the graves with flowers. On May 5, 1868, General John Logan proclaimed this day a holiday through his General Order No. 11. The day was entitled Decoration Day and was first observed on May 30, 1868. The northern states celebrated this day every year, but the southern states celebrated a day similar to this on a different day until sometime after World War I. In 1882, the name Decoration day was changed to Memorial Day, and in 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday to be held on the last Monday of May every year. Over the years it has come to serve as a day to remember all U.S. men and women killed or missing in action in all wars. I am truly grateful for the freedoms which we enjoy today. Too often, we take these gifts for granted, little realizing the sacrifice which was involved in ensuring that these freedoms continue to be a part of all of our lives. Be honest, how many of us think of Memorial Day as just another chance for a three-day weekend? A chance to go the lakes or beaches or mountains? A trip to Disneyland or Six Flags or some other amusement park? If you are here in the United States, please remember to display the flag, not just for the day but for the whole weekend. Let's not forget the real reason for having this holiday. The quote below says it all. Please take the time to read it. Take care everyone. Tom (HM2, USN 65-69) "It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray-haired. But most of them were boys when they died, they gave up two lives -- the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for their county, for us. All we can do is remember." -- Ronald Wilson Reagan Remarks at Veteran's Day ceremony, Arlington National Cemetery Arlington, Virginia, November 11, 1985 "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -- Ronald Wilson Reagan Address to the annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce March 30, 1961 Let's all pause and take a minute to REMEMBER. Pearl Harbor 1941 ... Normandy 1944 ... Pork Chop Hill Korea 1953 ... Tet Offensive Vietnam 1968 ... Desert Storm Kuwait 1991 ... The World Trade Center 9/11 2001 ... Shock and Awe Iraq 2003 ... Iraq War Surge 2007 ... Afghanistan TODAY. After having taken a minute to REMEMBER Let's take one more minute to say THANK YOU for all that was given, all that was lost and all that was gained for us to enjoy our Hot-Dogs, Soft Ball, Picnics, Swimming Pools, Beaches, Iced Tea and Kids in Peace in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. A final thought..... Over the years the meaning of Memorial Day has faded too much from the public consciousness. From a solemn day of mourning, remembrance, and honor to the men and women who died in providing the freedoms we enjoy, it has been reduced to a weekend of BBQ's, shopping bargains and beaches where only token nods toward our honored dead is given, if at all. Too many don't know what the day stands for. So, let's not forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice. They are remembered in all our prayers. Also, let's not forget a prayer for the safety of all service men and women, whether they serve at home or overseas. Finally, a heartfelt Semper Fi from this Hospital Corpsman is sent to all the Marines I knew. -Tom -<>- >The Perfect Husband Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello" WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" MAN: "Yes." WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000. Is it OK if I buy it?" MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much." WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked." MAN: "How much?" WOMAN: "$90,000." MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing. I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it." MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really want." WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!" MAN: "Bye! I love you, too." The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open. He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?" -<>- >Renaissance Faire I was in line at the souvenir booth of a Renaissance Faire when a man asked the clerk, "Do you sell sunglasses?" "Alas, yeoman," she answered in her best fake old English, "colored bits of glass suspended before the eyes were not invented until after the Renaissance, so those are not goods we purvey." As he began to turn away, ye olde Renaissance clerk added, "But we do carry baseball caps with our logo on them." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend PatDeE :) ============;===========;() # # # #:::::: # # # #:::::: # # # #:::::: # # # #:::::: # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # jgs # # # # # # # From: "Jack Brooks" This was sent to me by my niece. It is a short history of the Memorial Day holiday & it explains the difference between Memorial Day (those who died in service to their country) & Veterans Day (for those who served in the Armed Forces). I have appended the song “50,000 names on the Wall” by George Jones. It is about The Wall – the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. My niece’s comment “both enjoy” refers to her father (my brother) & me whose tours in Vietnam overlapped for about 7 months. Thought you would both enjoy. It is from our Mayor (who happens to be a great neighbor) Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Over two dozen cities and towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it’s difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day. Regardless of the exact date or location of its origins, one thing is clear – Memorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor our dead. It was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. It is now observed in almost every state on the last Monday in May with Congressional passage of the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 – 363). 50,000 Names on the Wall - George Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpBiVpSggNs --- ...Thank you PatDeE! ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseA :) ============;===========;() # # # #:::::: # # # #:::::: # # # #:::::: # # # #:::::: # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # jgs # # # # # # # >Memorial Day Tribute They answered their country's call to arms, Into battle they did go Where their final destination was No one will ever know.

The Soldier stood and faced God Which must always come to pass He hoped his shoes were shining Just as bright as his brass. "Step forward you Soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?" The Solider squared his shoulders and said "No, Lord, I guess I ain't Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint. I've had to work on Sundays And at times my talk was tough, And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just to steep, And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear, And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here. They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand, I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand." There was silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod As the Soldier waited quietly, For the judgement of his God. "Step forward now, you Soldier, You've borne your burden well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell." --- ...Awesome! Thanks Fran! ======================================================== >-->In The Worldly News: >From AFA: All But Forgotten, Honor Revives Remembrance http://www.afa.net/ A Memorial Day message from Tim Wildmon May 25, 2015 Sacrifice is the theme of Memorial Day. The sacrifice of individuals. The sacrifice of families. The sacrifice of communities. The sacrifice of a nation. Memorial Day is a time when America's war dead remind us of the price for freedom. John Quincy Adams once said, "You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you make good use of it." A few years age, AFA commissioned Christian songwriter/singer Eric Horner to write a moving patriotic song to honor our national motto, "In God We Trust." On this Memorial Day, I hope you will take a moment to watch this very inspiring song, which reflects on those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAAsD2Sc6n4&feature=youtu.be May God continue to bless America on behalf of those who gave their lives for her. Please take time with family and friends over this Memorial Day weekend to reflect on the cost of freedom and our responsibility to defend and promote it.

We have an international space station, self-driving cars and virtual reality s*@. It is incredible that there are still places in the world where people are murdered for being a witch! But that is exactly what happened recently in Papua New Guinea where a woman was axed to death - AXED - for practicing sorcery. The woman known as "Misila" was one of four women who were accused in January after a measles epidemic killed several people in a remote village. These remote highlanders have very old, ancestral beliefs that sickness and death are the result of spiritual beings that live inside of some people, mostly women and their children. After the measles outbreak the villagers hired a "witch- finder" to identify the believed source of the measles outbreak. Some missionaries went to the village to prevent an angry mob from hurting the women after the witch-finder identified them. But apparently after the mob dispersed a smaller group of men found Misila and attacked her with axes while she was with her family. Personally, I think it would have been more merciful to build a bridge out of her. Amazingly, as recently as 2 years ago Papua New Guinea allowed the "sorcery defense" which allowed people accused of murder or serious assault to rely on a victim's practice of sorcery as a defense. Obviously there are still some areas where the people don't care about the repeal of this law. Belief in black magic is widespread in the Commonwealth nation, where unexplained deaths can often lead to accusations of sorcery, typically against women. --- ...Don't know why he is surprised. Woman still get stoned for alleged adultery, girls are being kidnapped and forced into marriage, churches are being burned down and ISIS is beheading men, woman and children just because they won't bow down to them and their Mohammad. People have always done stupid things since the beginning of their existence. It's a wonder God still loves us so much and has so much patience with us and our ignorance! Here's some more good examples of our stupidity in action... A group of males with swords robbed two different pizza delivery men over the weekend at the same address in Spring Grove Village neighborhood of Cincinnati, according to police reports. The first man was delivering for Domino's on Saturday night when four males with swords approached him, police said. One suspect held a sword to the man's throat and took money from his pockets. The attackers fled on bicycles. In a separate incident, another man encountered a group of three sword-wielding males Sunday night while delivering pizza for LaRosa's. While investigating that robbery, police were told by a neighbor that several of his swords were recently stolen from his home. Earlier this week police arrested a suspect in connection with the two incidents. The arrest was at the suspect's grandmother's home, said Lt. Dan Ogilvie. The house is also where the robberies occurred. Considering the brilliance of the cunning plan it is not surprising that the suspect is 13-years-old. Police are still searching for two more suspects. *-- Colorado man brings stuffed owl to court as defense counsel --* ASPEN, Colo. (UPI) - A Colorado man accused of violating a protection order brought a stuffed owl with "law degrees from Yale, Harvard and Stanford" to court as his public defender. Charles Abbott of Aspen, who was accused of violating a protection order taken out by his former roommate, Michael Stranahan, placed the stuffed owl on the table in front of him during his Tuesday appearance in Pitkin County Court Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely's courtroom. "He's a very sensitive guy, has law degrees from Yale, Harvard and Stanford," Abbott said. "I think he'll be able to represent me before a public defender comes online." Abbott allegedly violated the protection order by going to Stranahan's home to retrieve his belongings. Stranahan, who said he was out of town when Abbott went to the home, accused Abbott of taking some of his property. Fernandez-Ely ignored the owl, which Abbott dubbed "Solomon," and asked Stranahan if he would be willing to amend the protection order to allow for mediation. "I want it to remain in place because I don't feel safe about being in close proximity to Charles Abbott," Stranahan said. *-- Man gets naked to protest overbooked flight in Charlotte --* CHARLOTTE, N.C. (UPI) - Travelers at North Carolina's Charlotte Douglas International Airport said a man stripped naked in the concourse because he was mad about an overbooked flight. Witnesses said the man became angry when he was told his US Airways flight to Jamaica was overbooked Wednesday, leading him to strip nude and stand in the concourse without a stitch on his body for about 40 minutes. One traveler, Sherry Ketchie, shared photos of the naked man standing among the passengers, which included children. "I'd seen some people running and I was wondering what they were running from and people were standing there snickering, so I walked over and [an airport employee] told me the man was angry over the Jamaican flight," Ketchie told WBTV. "He had his clothes on, at that point, and then he started standing there with his arms crossed and hollering at the lady at the desk," she said. "He stood there for a moment and then started taking off his clothes. I ain't never seen nothing [like that] in my life." Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said the man was taken to a hospital for evaluation. ...This last one is a topper though... *-- Korean teacher ate hamster to show 'how dear life is' --* JEONGEUP, South Korea (UPI) - A South Korean teacher is facing child abuse charges for allegedly eating a live hamster in front of his students to teach them "how dear life is," police said. Police said the 44-year-old teacher, identified by the surname Yu, allegedly chewed a live hamster and swallowed it May 11 at the boarding school in Jeongeup while seven children were present. Yu, who also allegedly used abusive language in front of the students, allegedly told police he had caught students abusing hamsters and wanted to teach them "how dear life is" by making them watch him eat one of the rodents. Police said Yu left the facility after complaints from colleagues and he was arrested after parents of the students contacted authorities. Yu was charged with child abuse and released from custody, police said. The teacher publicly apologized to the children and their parents. "I couldn't control the situation and couldn't stand it," he told Yonhap News. "While watching the hamsters die from teasing, I thought I should teach the children it was wrong to make light of life." Yu said he would not have eaten the hamster if he had known his actions would be considered child abuse. --- ...It's amazing to me how God can put up with us - Praise God He does! ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseA :) . _, |`\__/ / \ . .( | __T| / | _.---=======' | // {} `| , , {} \ /___; ,' ) ,-;` `\ // | / ( ;|| ||`\\ ||| || \\ ||| jgs )\ )\ )|| `" `" `"" Two hunters were dragging their dead deer down a trail back to their truck. Another hunter approached pulling his along too. "Hey, I don't want to tell you what to do, but I can tell you that it's much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then the antlers won't dig into the ground." After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it. A little while later one Congressman said to the other, "You know, that guy was right. This is a lot easier!" "Yeah," the other added, "but we're getting farther away from the truck!" -------- See if you can do this. Read each line aloud: This is this cat. This is is cat.

To celebrate, Saint Peter wanted to have a big party, with the honored guests being Adam and Eve. Unfortunately, because of the heavy traffic over the eons, Saint Peter had lost track of Adam and Eve. One angel volunteered to find them.. He returned in two minutes with Eden's former residents.

The lady of the house was to prepare the meal. When it came time for Bill and Jean to be the hosts, Jean wanted to outdo all the others. She decided to have mushroom-smothered steak. But mushrooms are expensive. She told her husband, "No store bought mushrooms. They are too expensive." He said, "Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of those mushrooms? There are plenty in the creek bed." She said, "No, some wild mushroom are poison." He said, "Well, I see varmints eating them and they're OK." So Jean decided to give it a try. She picked a bunch, washed, sliced and diced them for her smothered steak. Then she went out on the back porch and gave Ol' Spot (the yard dog) a double handful. Ol' Spot ate every bite. All morning long, Jean watched Ol' Spot. The wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him so she decided to use them. The meal was a great success, and Jean even hired a helper lady from town to help her serve. After everyone had finished, they relaxed, socialized and played cards and dominoes. About then, the helper lady came in and whispered in Jean's ear "Mrs. Williams, Ol' Spot is dead." Jean went into hysterics. After she finally calmed down, she called the doctor and told him what had happened. The doctor said, "That's bad, but I think we can take care 0f it. I will call for an ambulance and I will be there as quickly as possible. We'll give everyone enemas and we will pump out everyone's stomach. Everything will be fine. Just keep them calm. Soon they could hear the siren as the ambulance was coming down the road. The EMT's and the doctor had their suitcases, syringes and a stomach pump. One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema and pumped out their stomach. The scene was not pretty. After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, "I think everything will be fine now," and he left. The lady helper came in and whispered to Jean, "You know, that fellow that run over Ol' Spot never even stopped." --- ...LOL! a great classic!

When I heard Al Sharptongue and Jesse Jackson were guest preachers at a nearby black Houston Church, I decided to check them out in person and see what it was all about. I sat down and Sharpton came up to me, I don't know why, maybe it was because I was the only white person in the Church. He laid his hands on my hand and said: "By the will of Jesus the Lord All Mighty, and the will of God, you will walk today." I told him I was not paralyzed. Then Jesse Jackson came by and said: "By the Grace of God, and his Son Jesus, the Lord All Mighty, you will walk today." Again I told him there is nothing wrong with me.

What is the smallest caliber that you would trust to protect yourself? A Beretta Jetfire testimonial.... Here is her story in her own words: "While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside of The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took.... The 'gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.

A time to remember. A time to be grateful to those who gave their lives to the service. Also a time for a three-day-weekend and a barbecue! Even though the Solstice is next month everybody pretty much considers this the unofficial beginning of summer. That means all of the barbecuing, all of the swimming, all of the volleyball, the street fests, the concerts under the stars, the road trips, it's all coming up fast. That is a lot of fun to pack into the next 105 days! I'm under so much pressure! Laugh it up, Joe "One of our co-workers went missing for a few hours, and we tore up the place looking for him. The boss finally found him fast asleep. Rather than wake him, he quietly placed a note on the man's chest... "As long as you're asleep," it read, "you have a job. But as soon as you wake up, you're fired!" -<>- A young man applied for a job at a new factory being built in a nearby town. He entered the main office, where the receptionist directed him down the hall to an office where he was to be interviewed by the Personnel Officer. After several minutes of describing and explaining all about the new factory, the Personnel Officer told the young man, "We need individuals who are totally responsible." The young man grinned and responded: "Well, I sure qualify. Everywhere I've worked, when something went wrong, I was always responsible!" -<>- While standing watch in the Coast Guard station in Juneau, Alaska, I got a call from the Navy in the nearby city of Adak. They had lost contact with one of their planes and needed the Coast Guard to send an aircraft to find it. I asked the man where the Navy aircraft had last been spotted so we would know where to search. "I can't tell you," the Navy man said. "That's classified." -<>- A supposedly true story out of San Francisco (but who knows): A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch & wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America. -<>- There was a knock at the door. It was a small boy, about six years old. Something of his had found its way into my garage, he said, and he wanted it back. Upon opening the garage door, I noticed two additions: a base- ball and a broken window sporting a baseball-sized hole. "How do you suppose this ball got in here?" I asked the boy. Taking one look at the ball, one look at the window, and one look at me, the boy exclaimed, "Wow! I must have thrown it right through that hole!" -<>- After learning the Lamaze method of natural childbirth, I was admitted to the delivery room with my wife.

Every day you wake up is a promise kept by God. Now promise you'll do something good with it." Bob Perks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andy Used By Permission For "The Funnies... An Extra" "Please, God?" By Bob Perks <> All stories are copyrighted 2002 Bob Perks. We all make promises that at the time seem to be the proper thing to do. But in our hearts we know it's just polite chatter between friends. "You know it's been much too long. Let's plan on getting together soon and catch up on all that's been going on in our lives." "Sure. Give me a call." Then we walk away knowing it will never really happen. Millie always meant what she said. "It's a date!" she would say and I would reply "Mark it on your calendar." What seems an eternity ago, I once worked in a retirement center. Not one of those fancy care taker places you see today, but the county rest home. It really looked more like a hospital than a home. It very well may be where my real interest in people began. I met so many wonderful older folks there and because I was in my early 20's their wisdom caught my attention and filled my spirit with hope. Millie was a gem. I would see her several times a day and every time I said, "I'll see you later!" she would reply, "It's a date!" Then she would grab her notebook and jot it down. Millie kept those dates for the first few months she was there. But her time was limited and she knew it. As her body began to weaken her spirit stayed very much alive. She would struggle to reach for her notebook, but always refused to accept help. But the day came when Millie could no longer grasp and hold the book or pen. I had just checked on her and we talked about life and all the joys she had experienced. She would never have a bad thing to say. When I was about to leave I said, "Millie, I'll see you later." There was no response. I couldn't leave. I was so used to hearing her reply that it felt inappropriate for me to just walk out. So I walked closer to her bed and leaned over her. "Millie, I'll see you later, okay?" She smiled and reaching her right hand toward the bed table in front of her, she struggled to pick up the book. "Do you want me to mark it down for you?" I asked. She nodded her head. I took her pen and opened up the note book. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thumbed through and every single page had the same thing scribbled several times. "Please, God?" "Millie, I thought you were making dates all this time," I said to her. She smiled and reached for my hand. "Bob, I wasn't making dates. I was asking God to help me keep them," she said. I wrote, "Please, God" in her book and laid it back on the table. Every one of those notations were Millie's way of asking God to keep her around long enough to fulfill her promise. On her final day with us, I rushed to her bedside to say my goodbyes before they took her away. Gathering her belongings I picked up the notebook and paged through it one more time. There must have been a thousand notations in that book. But Millie knew when it was time to go. The very last entry in her "Date" book read, "Thanks, God!" As they covered her I said, "Millie, I'll see you in Heaven." I swear I heard her say, "It's a date!" I replied, "Please God?" "I believe in You!"
