Christmas Break was over and the teacher was asking the class about
their vacations. She turned to little Johnny and asked what he did over
the break.
"We visited my grandmother in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania," he replied.
"That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word," the teacher said. "Can
you tell the class how you spell that?"
Little Johnny thought about it and said, "You know, come to think of
it, we went to Ohio."

A school kid asks his teacher, "Is it true that the law of gravity
keeps us on Earth?"
The teacher replied, "Yes."
The kid then asked, "What kept us before the law was passed?"

A world-famous and very dignified psychiatrist called a plumber to fix
the flooded bathroom in his office.
When the plumber arrived, he was carrying an extra set of used
overalls. The dapper, impeccably groomed and expensively dressed doctor
smirked in a condescending way and said: "Do you usually need a change
of OVERALLS?!"
The plumber just smiled. When he was done, the plumber gave him the
bill and told him he had to get some more equipment from his truck.
He explained that he needed a new assistant because of all the work and
was short-handed. He asked the psychiatrist if he knew of any friends
who might want the job.
The psychiatrist raised his eyebrows and pointed at his suit, his
shoes, his degree and his office: "I'm well known in my field around
the world! I am a psychiatrist. Now, do I LOOK like someone who would
have a PLUMBER for a friend?"
"You're right. A high class guy like you in a fancy suit and those
shined up shoes would never know plumbers," said the plumber
apologetically. He put the overalls down on a chair. "I'm very sorry..."
"I am on my way to give a presentation to the College of Psychiatrists!
I'm sure I WON'T be meeting any plumbers there! I do not count PLUMBERS
among my friends!" smirked the upper-crust doctor, as he checked his
shoes to make sure the shine was still perfect and carefully tightened
the knot of his tie. "Now I suggest you get to work!"
"YES SIR!" said the plumber. It seemed the right thing to do to call
the eminent psychiatrist 'sir'. "I won't forget! I'm sorry sir!"
When the plumber returned, he entered the psychiatrist's office,
stopped and stared. There on the floor were the doctor's brand new
mirror-polished $1,000 handmade Italian leather shoes - but their
owner's feet were no longer in them.
A few feet away, he saw the doctor's black silk socks.
But the psychiatrist’s feet were not inside those either.
The plumber grinned and followed the trail:
Next he found the hand-tailored $2,000 Armani pinstriped business suit
that the doctor had been wearing, also neatly folded, with attached
paisley braces.
Then he found the natty Hermes silk tie and the matching pocket square
tossed on the floor.
After that he saw the monogrammed gold cufflinks, starched white shirt,
silver tiepin and Rolex - in a trail across the floor into the bathroom.
The psychiatrist’s medical degree and briefcase were piled up next to
them.
The plumber laughed and picked up the doctor's very expensive shoes and
socks and his silk tie and his beautiful Italian suit and went in to
the bathroom.
There was the respected and formerly dignified psychiatrist - wearing
the overalls, lying under the sink with his bare feet sticking out in
an extremely undignified way.
The plumber tapped on the soles of the formerly dapper doctor's feet
with his own high-class shoes.
The psychiatrist looked out, with sweat streaming down his hundred
dollar haircut.
The plumber grinned. He said, "What is the famous and respected
psychiatrist doing under the SINK! Here are your suit, your shoes, your
socks and your tie...SIR!"
The psychiatrist grabbed his silk socks and wiped the sweat off his
face with them.
He blew his nose in his silk tie.
He took his very expensive shoes and tossed them one at a time into the
trash.
He grabbed his Armani suit jacket and tied it around the leaky pipe. He
took the suit trousers and ripped them down the middle.
He pointed at the plumber's bill and said, "Sir, You found your
assistant."

>25 Things You Know If You Have A Son
1. A king size water bed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot
house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with
roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3-year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded
restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong
enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman
cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread
paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 foot room.
5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When
using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up in the air
a few times, before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a
long way.
6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit
by a ceiling fan.
7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already
too late.
8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9. A six-year old boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a
36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a
four-year-old boy.
11. Playdoh and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12. Super glue is forever.
13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still
can't walk on water.
14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15. VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials
show they do.
16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not
like ovens.
20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a five-minute response time .
21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms
dizzy.
22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24. 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with
or without kids.
25. 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid

Women get a little more excited about New Years Eve than men do. It’s
like an excuse: you drink too much, you make a lot of promises you’re
not going to keep; the next morning as soon as you wake up you start
breaking them. For men, we just call that a date.

>Airport Mistletoe
It was the beginning of December. The trip had gone reasonably well,
and he was ready to go home. The airport on the other hand had turned
a tacky red and green with loudspeakers blared annoying elevator
renditions of cherished Christmas carols.
Being someone who took Christmas very seriously, and being slightly
tired, he was not in a particularly good mood.
Going to check in his luggage, he saw hanging mistletoe. Not real
mistletoe, but very cheap plastic with red paint on some of the
rounder parts and green paint on some of the flatter and "pointier"
parts, that could be taken for mistletoe only in a very Picasso sort of way.
With a considerable degree of irritation and nowhere else to vent it,
he said to the lady attendant, "Even if I were not married, I would
not want to kiss you under such a ghastly mockery of mistletoe."
"Sir, look more closely at where the mistletoe is."
(pause)
"Ok, I see that it's above the luggage scale, which is the place
you'd have to step forward for a kiss."
"That's not why it's there."
(pause)
"Ok, I give up. Why is it there?"
"It's there so you can kiss your luggage goodbye."

>Politically Correct Holiday Greetings
To all my Liberal Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the
religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with
respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of
others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular
traditions at all;
PLUS
A fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted
calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of
choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped
make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater
than any other country or is the only "AMERICA" in the western
hemisphere), and without regard to race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, or choice of computer platform.
(Disclaimer: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these
terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is
freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It
implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the
wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by
law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish
is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of
good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a
subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is
limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the
sole discretion of the wisher who assumes no responsibility for any
unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not
caught up in the holiday spirit.)
To all my Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

>Get Ready For Another Year Of Doom.........
IDIOT SIGHTING
I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
I said "May I have large bills, please"
She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same
size. "When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....
IDIOT SIGHTING
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up
our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock
the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I
instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was
unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!' His reply:
'I know. I already got that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS
IDIOT SIGHTING
We had to have the garage door repaired.
The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did
not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made
at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I
responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, 'NO, it's not..' Four
is larger than two.' We haven't used Sears repair since.
IDIOT SIGHTING
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I
gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a
quarter.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this
way you can just give me a dollar bill back.
She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my
request.
I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but
we could not do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had ice burg lettuce.
From Kansas City
IDIOT SIGHTING
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee
asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
Happened in Birmingham , Ala.
IDIOT SIGHTING
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She
asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals
blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing
driving?!'
She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS
IDIOT SIGHTING
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the
company due to 'downsizing", our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is
fun. We should do this more often.'
Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.
IDIOT SIGHTING
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would
not turn on.
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff’s office, no less.

>Don't Be Fooled This Year!
The Big Money Scams
* Multi-million card theft: In what is said to be the biggest hacking
and data breach scheme in US history, more than 160 million credit card
numbers have been stolen and 800,000 bank accounts hacked by a single
gang -- resulting in the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Police describe it as a "cutting edge" crime and have subsequently
arrested five people.
* Big-time pump and dump: US investors are thought to have lost $140
million in an international scheme to sell billions of worthless
stocks. After victims had been stung, the alleged scammers then offered
to help them get their money back, charging a hefty upfront fee but, of
course, doing nothing.
* In a massive international conspiracy uncovered in 2013, counterfeit
goods which, if they were genuine, would have been worth $300 million,
allegedly have been smuggled by a single gang into the US from China.
* Taxing times: A group of five people in Britain were convicted of
inventing an entire movie so they could avoid paying a tax bill and
claim refunds, together worth more than $7 million.
It's claimed that when they realized the tax authorities were onto
them, the group hastily produced a real low-budget movie, recruiting a
scriptwriter and a couple of B-movie actors.
* In Ohio, a man was accused of fraud after collecting an estimated
$100 million for veterans. After going on the lam, he was tracked down
and allegedly found with a suitcase containing almost $1 million.
Cheeky Impostors
* Come fly with me: Remember the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., the
impostor and con artist who was the subject of the movie Catch Me If
You Can?
Echoing one scene in which Abagnale posed as an airline pilot, a young
Italian recently donned a pilot's uniform and hitched a flight from
Munich to Turin -- with a seat inside the cockpit of a commercial
flight.
Fortunately, the two real pilots on board didn't offer him the chance
to take the controls.
* Real heartbreaker: A rich business executive thought he was booking
rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for his wedding when he
handed over $165,000 as a 50% deposit to a man claiming to be the
star's booking agent.
But the band actually knew nothing about the man or the booking. The
alleged scammer was eventually tracked down and offered to make
repayments in installments.
Exploiting Children
* Free ride: In England, a drunken couple in need of a free ride home
told a helpful driver their three-year-old had disappeared on a beach
where they were vacationing and that the police had advised them to get
back home as quickly as possible.
Police launched a massive hunt but didn't find anyone. Not only was
there no missing child, there was no child at all. The couple didn't
have one.
* Cancer claim: A New Jersey mother was alleged to have told her young
son he had advanced-stage cancer and would soon die. She also told
family and friends, raising thousands of dollars in donations.
The boy did not have cancer at all and his mother was subsequently
charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Plain Crazy
* Sharp taste: You may have heard stories of scammers planting objects
in food so they could claim compensation. But a couple in Utah took the
scam to a whole new level when they allegedly placed razor blade
fragments inside a donut and ate them!
They filed a police report but their story aroused the officers'
suspicions and they were charged with filing a false report -- despite
the evidence of X-rays, which showed blade particles in their stomachs.
* Jail cell enterprise: From behind the bars of an Idaho jail, a
convict with time on his hands pulled off a remarkable financial fraud
by getting his name onto lists for class action lawsuits and bankruptcy
creditors.
He allegedly forged legal documents, earning himself a slice of many
multi-million-dollar settlements. Prison authorities claim he made at
least $64,000 and police charged him with mail fraud.
* Phony fingers: In Brazil, a group of hospital workers made silicone
replicas of their fingers so their colleagues could check them in for
work, using a fingerprint recorder, when they didn't show up.
* The $2 million money wash: An Australian poured $2 million into a
sham investment scheme which claimed to be able to convert blank paper
into currency using a chemical process. It's an old trick but this was
a record haul for the crooks.
We're not suggesting that these are the worst examples of scams. Indeed
if you've been unfortunate enough to fall victim to a con trick you
probably feel every bit as outraged as the victims of some of the scams
we've listed.
But these reports do show just how far crooks can stretch their
ingenuity, how much risk they're prepared to take in perpetrating their
outrageous scams, and how little regard they have for the feelings of
others.

This morning, the Muslim Brotherhood warned the United States that if
the US continued meddling in Syria, Iran, Pakistan and other potential
hot spots in the Middle East, they intend to cut off America's supply
of 7-11 and Motel 6 managers.
If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be
next, followed by Dell, AT&T, and AOL customer service reps.
Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened to not send us any
more presidents.
It's gonna get ugly folks.

>More Politics - The Best Idea Yet!
Poland’s new foreign minister has proposed forming an army out of the
Syrian men arriving in Europe, which could then return to their
homeland to fight for their freedom. (Pay attention, Obama and
Trudeau!!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In an interview on Polish state television late Sunday, Waszczykowski
also proposed helping Syrian arrivals in Europe form an army that could
invade Syria.
“The tens of thousands of young Syrian men who jump out of the rubber
rafts and don’t ask for water, food, or clothes but ask where they can
charge their mobile phones could, with our help, fight to get their
country back,” Waszczykowski said.
“They expect us to send our troops to fight and die for Syria, while
hundreds of thousands of Syrians sip coffee on Unter den Linden” — a
boulevard in Berlin — “or at the old town square, watching us fight for
their security.” Waszczykowski said in Warsaw.

>From BizarreNews:
Aren't there already enough hazards on any given golf course
without adding carnivorous predators to the mix?
It was just a normal afternoon on a golf course in San Juan
Capistrano, California when club employees had to rescue
golfers from a shark which had apparently dropped out of the
sky and flopped around on the 12th tee.
San Juan Hills Golf Club operations director Melissa McCormack
says a course marshal found the leopard shark and brought it
to the clubhouse. It had puncture wounds where it appeared a
bird had snagged it from the Pacific Ocean, about five miles
away.
They stuck shark into fresh water before somebody remembered
it came from the sea, so they got some sea salt from the
kitchen and mixed it in (ideally with some hot oil, lemon and
cilantro in a cast iron pan).
Another employee rushed the shark to the ocean where McCormack
says it was very still for a few seconds before twisting around
and speeding off.
Now maybe I am being too critical of this whole shark business.
Golf is a rather boring game. What do you think would make golf
more exciting than sharks on the course? Bears? Wolverines maybe?
*-- City wants 200-300 birds out of home --*
AURORA, Ill. - Officials in an Illinois city said crews
will remove 200 to 300 pet birds from a man's home if he
does not remove the birds himself. Aurora officials said
they received an order from Kane County Circuit Court
authorizing them to begin clearing the birds out of Dave
Skeberdis's home at 10 a.m. Friday if he does not abide
by orders to get rid of his pets, The (Aurora) Beacon-News
reported Thursday. City Attorney Alayne Weingartz said
Skeberdis said he plans to "take care of it himself" to
avoid being hit with a $13,478 cleanup bill. Rosario
DeLeon, city chief operations officer, said the exact
number of birds is unknown, as firefighters have only
entered the home once. Skerberdis acknowledged his love of
birds has gotten out of hand. "I think everybody is a bit
of a hoarder, but this got out of control," he said. "I've
got civil rights, too, and I don't need someone strong-
arming me to get someone to clean it."
*-- Meteor fragment hits pastor's home --*
NOVATO, Calif. - A 2-inch chunk of a meteor that exploded
dramatically over California struck the roof of the home
of a minister, his wife said. "It's wonderful. It's like
the heavens coming down and history, and this thing
probably came from an asteroid belt between Mars and
Jupiter. I mean, how cool is that?" said Lisa Webber of
the rock that bounced off the roof of her husband's study
Thursday night and onto the lawn of their Novato, Calif.,
home. Peter Webber is pastor of Presbyterian Church of
Novato, the San Francisco Chronicle said Monday. The
object was confirmed as debris from the meteor that
streaked over the Bay Area, offering viewers a spectacular
light show, said Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute in
Mountain View, Calif. "We can now hope to use our fireball
trajectory to trace this type of meteorite back to its
origins in the asteroid belt," he said.
*-- World records set at Pakistan festival --*
LAHORE, Pakistan - Attendees at a Pakistani youth fair
broke seven world records during the weekend. New global
marks were set in most martial arts kicks in 3 minutes,
plug wiring, fastest chess set up, cooking the most number
of chapattis (bread), pulling a truck by a mustache and
most football headers at the the Punjab Youth Festival
in Lahore on Sunday, Geo News reported. On Saturday,
attendees to the festival broke the record for most people
singing a national anthem. Ahmad Amin Bodla broke the
record for most kicks, while the record of chess setup
was broken by Mehar Gul and Mohammad Mansha broke the
chapatti making record. Noman Anjum set the world record
in plug wiring and Mohammad Sadi set the world record of
pulling a truck by a mustache. The record for football
headers was set by Daniyal Gill and Qamar Zaman. A team
from Guinness World Records was at the festival to verify
the records.
*-- Bigfoot blamed for motor home vandalism --*
LYKENS, Pa. - A Pennsylvania man whose motor home was
damaged by a rock-throwing vandal told police he believes
Bigfoot is behind the crime. Pennsylvania State Police
released a complaint Friday saying John Reed, 39, of
Lykens, a member of the Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters,
told troopers earlier this month he caught a glimpse of
the late-night vandal and believes the perpetrator to be
the legendary ape rumored to wander the wooded areas of
North America, The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News reported
Monday. "It wasn't a person. I didn't see any clothes or
coat or anything like that," Reed said of the vandal
responsible for smashing the windows and taillights of his
1973 Dodge Winnebago. "I don't think it was a bear. It
didn't move like a bear." Dauphin County District Attorney
Edward Marsico Jr. said his office would prosecute the
Sasquatch if it is captured by authorities. "We have been
searching for him for years," Marsico said with a laugh.
"We would be glad to prosecute, assuming the elusive thing
is captured."

>Holiday Eating Tips
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday
buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact,
if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where
they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine
single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer
than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time
of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that has 10,000
calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn
into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it.
Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's
Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole
point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on.
Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with
gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with
skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother?
It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort
to control your eating. The whole point of going to a
Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free.
Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now
and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have
nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which
you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying
a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet
table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and
size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge.
Have as many as you can before becoming the center of
attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you
leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice
of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples
and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get
to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded
with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at
all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you
leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been
paying attention.

One friend complained to another, "All my husband and I do
anymore is fight. I've been so upset, I've lost 20 pounds."
"If it's that bad, why don't you just leave him?" asked the
second friend.
"I'm seriously considering it, but I'd like to lose another
15 pounds first."
-<>-
I wondered if I could get my husband to address Christmas
cards, as I had so much to do. I arranged everything we
needed, then hopefully pulled up a chair and said, "Come on,
Dear, let's get these out of the way."
He glanced at the array on the table, turned away and went
into the den, only to return moments later with a high stack
of cards, stamped, sealed, and addressed.
"They're last year's," he said. "I forgot to mail them.
Now let's go out to dinner and relax."

Helping me sort old clothes into "save" and "give away"
piles, my six-year-old daughter came across a garter belt.
"What's this?" she asked.
"It's a garter belt," I said. Seeing that meant nothing to
her, I added, "It's for holding up stockings."
"Ah," she said, carefully placing it in the "save" pile,
"we'll use it next Christmas Eve."

Did you know that hanging lights on a Christmas tree is
one of the three most stressful situations in an on-going
relationship? (The other two danger zones are teaching
your mate to drive and wallpapering. Don't EVEN think of
going there!) So I now present for you....
Things NOT To Say When Hanging Christmas Lights
--"You've got two red lights right next to each other.
You're supposed to go yellow, green, red, blue, not yellow,
red, red, green, blue..."
--"Up a little higher. You can reach it. Go on, try."
--"What on earth do you do to these lights when you put
them away every year? Tie them in knots?"
--"Come away from that aluminum ladder, kids. I'm going to
fry that sucker."
--"If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all.
Don't just throw them on, like you do the icicles. You're
worse than your father."
--"Give me that!!"
--"You've got the whole thing on the tree upside-down. The
electric pluggee thing should be down here at the bottom,
not up at the top."
--"I don't care if you have found another two strings, I'm
done!"
--"You've just wound 'em around and around - I thought we
agreed it shouldn't look like a spiral this year?"
--"Have you been drinking?!!?"
--"Okaaay! Looks like we're *finally* done here now. Not too
shabby huh? Hey....wait a minute, where's the cat?"

It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco.
The pastor of the church was looking over the cradle when
he noticed that the baby Jesus was missing from among the
figures. Immediately he turned and went outside and saw a
little boy with a red wagon, and in the wagon was the figure
of the little infant, Jesus.
So he walked up to the boy and said, "Well, where did you
get Him, my little friend?"
The little boy replied, "I got him from the church."
"And why did you take him?"
The boy said, "Well, about a week before Christmas I prayed
to the little Lord Jesus and I told him if he would bring me
a red wagon for Christmas I would give him a ride around the
block in it."

IF we practiced Jesus
every day,
It'd be like

If we, like Him,

So that every single day

With our sweet

Master, Lord!
Then every day

>Top Things Overheard on the Wise Men's Journey to Bethlehem
- "OK, we got gold. We got the frankincense. We got the Myrrh.
Think we should get something more practical, like diapers maybe?"
- "I thought this was SUPPOSED to be a WEEKEND road trip. Boy,
is my wife ever gonna be ticked when I get home."
- "All this gazing at a star while riding a camel is making me woozy."
- "I still say it wouldn't hurt to drop by Balthazar's place for
another visit on the way back. That was SOME buffet!"
- "16 hours a day on a camel. Are you sure this beats walking?"
- "Why should I always have to be in the rear? It's somebody else's
turn to get sand in his face."
- "You guys have any idea how to treat saddle sores?"
- "Man, I'm starting to get a rush from this frankincense!"
- "You guys ever eat camel meat? I hear it tastes like chicken."
- "You know, I used to go to school with a girl name Beth Lehem."
- "What kind of name is Balthazar anyhow? Phoenician?"
- "Hey, do you either of you know why "MYRRH" is spelled with a
"Y" instead of a "U"?"
- "Okay, who forgot to give their camel a bath before we left?"
- "Whaddya mean we'll be part of history? A year from now, nobody
will have a clue why we did this."
And the top thing overheard on the Wise Men's Journey to Bethlehem:
- "I can't wait to see and bow down before the Messiah that has

My son, a kindergartner learning to read, was enjoying the Christmas
lights as we drove around checking out the beautiful decorations.
Noticing one display in a yard, he promptly spelled out the letters,
"N-O-E-L" and asked what word it was. "Noel," I matter-of-factly
replied. Back came an exasperated reply, "But, Mom, if there's no
'L,' then what does it spell?"

A Politically Correct Greeting you can send to all the ACLU-types
to show them the utter silliness of their position:
"Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral, winter
solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions
of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect
for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice
their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice
a religion at all; plus...
A fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar
year 2016, but not without due respect for the calendars of
choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make
our society great, without regard to the race, creed color,
religious, or gender preferences of the wishes.
Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or
withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually
implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and no
responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these
greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit."

Oakley is the wet talking dog featured in this video and he doesn't
