Through no fault of my own we suddenly became an
adult club in the love and romance directory so
you will have to confirm that you are an adult

this back as it sends me around in a circle when I try!

>WHY ATHLETES CAN'T HAVE REGULAR JOBS...
Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model:
"I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan'
all the kids to copulate me."
New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season:
"I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."
And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's say:
"I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,"
Matt Millen of the Raiders said:
"To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."
Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins:
"He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings.."
Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann:
"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like
Norman Einstein."
Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh:
"I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes."
(Now that is beautiful)
Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach:
"You guys line up alphabetically by height.."
And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, and then
line up in a circle."
Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson going to prison:
"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison
for three years, not Princeton."
Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a
color photo of himself above his locker:
"That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my
clothes."
Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regimen of
heavyweight Andrew Golota:
"He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning, regardless of
what time it is."
Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to
Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice:
"My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an
uncle or an aunt."
Frank Layden , Utah Jazz president, on a former player:
"I asked him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?'
He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'"
Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told
a player who received four F's and one D:
"Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject."
In the words of NC State great Charles Shackelford:
"I can go to my left or right, I am amphibious."
Amarillo High School and Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob
Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips,
Phillips responded: "Because she is too darn ugly to kiss good-bye."

>Similarities Between Santa and Office Administrator :
Santa is bearded, corpulent, and dresses funny.
When you ask Santa for something, the odds of receiving what you wanted
are infinitesimal.
Santa seldom answers your mail.
When you ask Santa where he gets all the stuff he's got, he says, "Elves
make it for me."
Santa doesn't care about your deadlines.
Your parents ascribed supernatural powers to Santa, but did all the work
themselves.
Nobody knows who Santa has to answer to for his actions.
Santa laughs entirely too much.
Santa thinks nothing of breaking into your $HOME.
Only a lunatic says bad things about Santa in his presence.

A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding,
and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his
speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to
try to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket.
As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that
were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some
problems with circle flies there, are ya?"
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well,
yeah, if that's what they are called -- I never heard of
circle flies."
So the farmer said, "Well, circle flies are common on farms.
See, they're called circle flies because they're almost
always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper said, "Oh," and went back to writing the ticket.
Then after a minute he stopped and said, "Hey, wait a minute
-- are you trying to call me a horse's reaar end?"
The farmer said, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect
for law enforcement to even think about calling you such a
name."
The trooper said, "Well, that's a good thing," and went back
to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the farmer said, "Hard to fool them
flies, though."

-- Skunk stinks up 800 Christmas presents -------
PURCELL, Okla. - An Oklahoma volunteer group said a skunk
got into its storage facility and sprayed nearly 800
presents collected for children in low-income families.
Peggy Christian with McClain County Operation Christmas
said volunteers have been attempting to salvage as many
of the smelly gifts as possible before the planned delivery
run Friday, KOCO-TV, Oklahoma City, reported. "The ones
laying out, they have been sprayed with Febreeze many,
many times," Christian said. Christian said the volunteer
group, which handed out 786 gifts in 2009, is accepting
donations before 5 p.m. Thursday at the Purcell Multi-
Purpose Center and after 5 p.m. at the Purcell Police
Department. Christian told KOTV, Tulsa, Okla., support has
been pouring in from the community since the incident with
the skunk. "I've already had a lot of phone calls. People
here locally that have called and said 'What can we do to
help?'" she said.
-- Record set at pie eating contest ----------
WIGAN, England - A British man participating in the World
Pie Eating Championship set a world record by downing a
saucer-sized meat pie in only 23.91 seconds. Organizers
of the competition said Neil Collier, 42, bested the
previous record of 35.86 seconds, set by former champion
Barry Rigby, 37, at Tuesday's contest at Harry's Bar in
Wigan, England, The Guardian reported Wednesday. "He just
seemed to open his throat and down it went," organizer
Tony Callaghan said. "He's from Bolton, mind, which is
crying shame for a Wiganer to have to say, but he's
certainly learned how to eat pies somewhere. Probably in
Wigan." Official Iain Macauley said Collier narrowly avoid-
ed disqualification by starting to eat his pie only a
fraction of a second after the starting signal was given.

>Blondes... Ventriloquist
A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a
show in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he
starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes, when a blonde woman
in the 4th row stands on her chair.
She starts shouting: "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes.
What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the
color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being?
It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work
and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person.
Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against
not only blondes, but women in general .... and all in the name of
humor!"
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, when the blonde
yells, "You stay out of this, mister…..I'm talking to that little nerd
sitting on your knee!"

>HOLY HUMOR:
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know
what the Bible means!"
His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the
Bible means?
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly," It stands for
Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'
--
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to
her brother in another part of the country.
"Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady.
--
"Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world
there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning,
Lord" and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good
Lord, it's morning."
--
A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because
he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he
put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the
block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive
us our trespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police
officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If
I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into
temptation."
--
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to
his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we
have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is,
it's still out there in your pockets."
--
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage.
The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because
at the back of carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient
vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.
--
A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and
girls, what do we know about God?"
A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy.
"Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked.
"You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "
--
A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a
long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many
cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant
pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It
seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a
long trip.."
The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my
business."
--
People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the
center of attention.
--
Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the
lesson was about.
The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt."
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor
stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday
school lesson was about.
He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."
--
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask
the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting
for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find
that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in
at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have
to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the
finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and
Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as
much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge
$100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled
Banner."
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
--
Give me a sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And pass it on to other folk!

AUGUSTA, Ga. - A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for children
was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern
Georgia.
Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that
man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting a laptop under
his jacket at the Augusta store. When confronted, the man became
irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the
door.
Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service
branch's "Toys For Tots" program. Smith said the Marines stopped the
man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back.
The cut did not appear to be severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken
arms, a broken leg, possible broken ribs, assorted lacerations and
bruises he obtained when he fell trying to run after stabbing the
Marine. The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until
police arrived. The Richmond County Sheriff's office said it is
investigating.
Hmmmmmmmmmm !

>Ironic...
This next year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address
occur on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an
ironic juxtaposition of events; one involves a meaningless ritual in
which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication
while the other involves a groundhog."

...Wow! another ... Hmmmmm. TeeHee! Thanks PatDeE!

---------- Twenty Ways to Confuse Santa Cllaus ----------
1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a
note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a
few pounds.
2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write
him a speeding ticket.
3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for
the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.
4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with
exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he
tries to get them to fly.
5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a
bull goes crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until
he sees that big, red Santa suit!
6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, hold-
ing signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa."
7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs.
Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk
and a loaf of bread on his way home.
8. Throw a surprise party for Santa when he comes down the
chimney. Refuse to let him leave until the strippers arrive.
9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it.
As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he
shouldn't have missed that last payment, and take off.

10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of milk
out, with a note that says, "For The Tooth Fairy. :)" Leave
a nother plate out with half a stale cookie and a few drops
of skim milk in a dirty glass with a note that says, "For
Santa. :("
11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just been
robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like a police-
man and say, "Well, well. They always return to the scene
of the crime."
12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-
minute changes and corrections.
13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the chimney
with barbed wire.
14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where
Santa's sure to see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh! Look!
A deer! And he's got a red nose!" and fire a gun.
15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved.
Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to
your new house.
16. Set a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. Wait for
Santa to get caught in it, and then explain that you're
sorry, but from a distance, he looked like a bear.
17. Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill on it.
18. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face and clothes.
While he's in the house, go out on the roof. When he comes
back up, act like you've been "trampled." Threaten to sue
for personal injury.
19. Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with Easter
eggs.
20. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come
and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the
both of us.

A Large What?
I volunteered to be in charge of visitors at our local art
gallery. After three hours, I was tired and hungry, so I visited
MacDonalds on the way home. I ordered a large Butterfingers Slurry
and a nine pack of chicken Mcnuggets. I brought them home and
enjoyed them. The next morning as I was clearing my kitchen counter
I noticed the sales slip from MacDonalds. It told me that I had
received "9 nugs " and a "lgbutt". I had to wonder whether the
latter was a threat or a promise since I am a rather slender person.

>Godly Giving
"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what
your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then
your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." -
Matthew 6:3-4
How many people do you know who truly give just for the sake of giving
because they know it is good and right to do? How many folks do you know
who offer their services, time and emotions, simply because they have a
real heart to help a fellow man?
I wish I could say I knew many such people, but, the reality is, few
individuals I know give out of a cheerful and loving heart expecting
nothing from man or God in return. Even in my own life, while my heart
may be acting in love, a small subtle part of me sometimes hopes that
God will offer me something in return, such as a prayer answered.
Unfortunately, God does not work this way. When a prayer is answered or
a blessing bestowed, our Creator does not issue it as some sort of
reward system or trophy for a job well done. No, my friends, God is
above such juvenile behavior, and when the Lord gives, He gives because
it is good and right to do so.
The next time you are moved to reach out and give to someone, whether it
be volunteering some time to help feed the homeless, work with cancer
patients, or offering a supportive shoulder to a friend in need, do so
expecting nothing in return, and the simple yet profound joy of knowing
you did the right thing because it was the godly thing to do, and not
because you would receive earthy recognition, will be all the reward you
will need!
God knows, not only our every word and deed, but He knows our
true motives behind our actions. Show God what is in YOUR heart today!

>Fractured Christmas Carols
No one can fracture a Christmas carol better than a kid. Sing along
with these new takes on old favorites:
Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly
We three kings of porridge and tar
On the first day of Christmas my tulip gave to me
Later on we'll perspire, as we dream by the fire.
He's makin a list, chicken and rice.
Noel. Noel, Barney's the king of Israel.
With the jelly toast proclaim
Olive, the other reindeer. (From the Popeye version maybe?)
Frosty the Snowman is a ferret elf, I say
Sleep in heavenly peas
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is sparse and brown
You'll go down in listerine
Oh, what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hay
O come, froggy faithful
You'll tell Carol, "Be a skunk, I require"
Good tidings we bring to you and your kid

>THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Legally Speaking
Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did occur at
a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter "the House") a
general lack of stirring by all creatures therein, including, but not
limited to a mouse.
A variety of foot apparel, e.g., stocking, socks, etc., had been
affixed by and around the chimney in said House in the hope and/or
belief that St. Nick a/k/a/ St. Nicholas a/k/a/ Santa Claus
(hereinafter "Claus") would arrive at sometime thereafter. The minor
residents, i.e. the children, of the aforementioned House were
located in their individual beds and were engaged in nocturnal
hallucinations, i.e. dreams, wherein vision of confectionery treats,
including, but not limited to, candies, nuts and/or sugar plums, did
dance, cavort and otherwise appear in said dreams.
Whereupon the party of the first part (sometimes hereinafter
referred to as ("I"), being the joint-owner in fee simple of the
House with the party of the second part (hereinafter "Mamma"), and
said Mamma had retired for a sustained period of sleep. (At such
time, the parties were clad in various forms of headgear, e.g.,
kerchief and cap.
Suddenly, and without prior notice or warning, there did occur upon
the unimproved real property adjacent and appurtenant to said House,
i.e., the lawn, a certain disruption of unknown nature, cause and/or
circumstance. The party of the first part did immediately rush to a
window in the House to investigate the cause of such disturbance.
At that time, the party of the first part did observe, with some
degree of wonder and/or disbelief, a miniature sleigh (hereinafter
"the Vehicle") being pulled and/or drawn very rapidly through the air
by approximately eight (8) reindeer. The driver of the Vehicle
appeared to be and in fact was, the previously referenced Claus.
Said Claus was providing specific direction, instruction and guidance
to the approximately eight (8) reindeer and specifically identified
the animal co-conspirators by name: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,
Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen (hereinafter "the Deer"). (Upon
information and belief, it is further asserted that an additional co-
conspirator named "Rudolph" may have been involved.)
The party of the first part witnessed Claus, the Vehicle and the Deer
intentionally and willfully trespass upon the roofs of several
residences located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the House, and
noted that the Vehicle was heavily laden with packages, toys and
other items of unknown origin or nature. Suddenly, without prior
invitation or permission, either express or implied, the Vehicle
arrived at the House, and Claus entered said House via the chimney.
Said Claus was clad in a red fur suit, which was partially covered
with residue from the chimney, and he carried a large sack
containing a portion of the aforementioned packages, toys, and other
unknown items. He was smoking what appeared to be tobacco in a small
pipe in blatant violation of local ordinances and health regulations.
Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the stocking of
the minor children, which hung adjacent to the chimney, with toys
and other small gifts. (Said items did not, however, constitute
"gifts" to said minor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
U.S. Tax Code.)
Upon completion of such task, Claus touched the side of his nose and
flew, rose and/or ascended up the chimney of the House to the roof
where the Vehicle and Deer waited and/or served as "lookouts." Claus
immediately departed for an unknown destination.
However, prior to the departure of the Vehicle, Deer and Claus from
said House, the party of the first part did hear Claus state and/or
exclaim: "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!" Or words
to that effect.
