These first two smoking hot new pages are from our friends
LouiseAu and Cloie. More and more we are noticing that the

extreme points of view. These pages remind us that they are
not in step with most of us law abiding, God loving Americans.
If they had their way, they'd completely control every aspect
of our lives and make us pay dearly with not only our paychecks
but our God-given rights, liberty and pursuit of happiness! Be

A nervous taxpayer was unhappily conversing with the IRS auditor who had
come to review his records. At one point the auditor exclaimed, "We feel
it is a great privilege to be allowed to live and work in the USA. As a
citizen you have an obligation to pay taxes, and we expect you to
eagerly pay them with a smile."
"Oh, Thank goodness," returned the taxpayer. "I thought you were going
to want cash."

It turned out that the newly married wife was not a tidy housekeeper. It
didn't bother her much until one evening when her husband called from
the hall, somewhat dismayed:
"Honey, what happened to the dust on this table? I had a phone number
written on it."

Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and
became a famous actor.
The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.
The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.

>Losing Weight
My friends and I had joined a weight-loss organization. At one
meeting the instructor held up an apple and a candy bar. "What are
the attributes of this apple," she asked, "and how do they relate
to our diet?"
"Low in calories" and "lots of fiber" were among the answers. She
then detailed what was wrong with eating candy, and concluded,
"Apples are not only more healthful but also less expensive. Do you
know I paid $1.25 for this candy bar?" We stared as she held aloft
the forbidden treat.
From the back of the room a small voice spoke up, "I'll give you
$2.50 for it."

>Lost in Germany
Two Englishmen were lost in Cologne, Germany. They had parked their
rental car on Einbahnstrasse, but when they went to look for it, it
seemed as if every street had the same name. The men eventually
stopped a police officer and asked for help. That's when they got a
lesson in the German language. "Einbahnstrasse," the officer told
them, "means one-way-street."

>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.

>Lesson of the Prodigal Son
While putting my 4-year-old daughter to bed one evening, I read her
the story of the Prodigal Son. We discussed how the young son had
taken his inheritance and left home, living it up until he had
nothing left. Finally, when he couldn't even eat as well as pigs, he
went home to his father, who welcomed him.
When we finished the story, I asked my daughter what she had learned.
After thinking a moment, she quipped, "Never leave home without your
credit card!"

>School Math vs. Household (Reality) Math
We all learned School Math, and we know that the
results never change. For instance, 2 + 2 will
always equal 4, and 10 X 10 will always equal 100.
While School Math is very useful, it doesn't
always apply to real life situations because the
world actually runs according to what you might
call Household, or Reality, Math. Below are a few
examples of story problems, with the answer
according to School Math (what you would write to
pass a test in school) and Household, or Reality,
Math (what you need to know in order to function
in the real world, and usually find out the hard way).
COOKING:
You volunteered to bring 6 dozen cookies to the
school carnival. If the cookie recipe states
"makes 5 dozen medium size cookies", will you
have enough cookies if you double the batch?
SCHOOL MATH: Yes - doubling the batch will make
10 dozen cookies, you'll have plenty to take and
some to eat at home.
HOUSEHOLD MATH: No. A cookie recipe that states
"makes 5 dozen medium size cookies" actually
makes 2 dozen very small cookies. You will need
to triple the batch. Better yet, just pick up 5
dozen chocolate chip cookies from a bakery or
your local warehouse store. No one will care
whether you baked them, and chocolate chip cookies
are always appreciated.
LAUNDRY:
You have 4 people in your family, who each wear
one pair of socks per day. When you do the weekly
laundry, how many socks are you washing?
SCHOOL MATH: 2 socks per person X 4 people X 7 days
= 56 socks in the hamper.
HOUSEHOLD (REALITY) MATH: 2 socks per person X 4
people X 7 days = 160 socks in the hamper.
If you ask the family, no one changed socks more
than once per day; in fact, it takes vigilance to
make sure your eight-year old son doesn't try to
wear the same pair every day.
What?s puzzling about laundry is that the answer
can change several times, depending on the stage
in the laundry process. For instance:
Removed from the washer:
HOUSEHOLD MATH: 159 socks come out of the washer.
Removed from the dryer:
HOUSEHOLD MATH: 157 socks, which you fold and put
in each person?s sock drawer.
In any given family member?s sock drawer on Monday morning:
HOUSEHOLD MATH: 3 socks, none of which match, one with a hole.
NATURAL LAWS:
It?s also interesting that what we consider to be
natural "laws" can be very different in the world
of Household (Reality) Math. For instance:
QUANTITY:
You clear the breakfast table and place the
dishes in the sink. You ate a container of yogurt
and an apple, your husband had only a mug of
coffee and toast; your two children each had a
glass of milk, one had a bowl of cold cereal and
the other requested chicken nuggets with ketchup.
You decide that since there are so few dishes,
you'll do them by hand when you get home.
Everyone leaves the house for work or school. How
many dishes will be in the sink when you get home?
SCHOOL MATH: 2 spoons, 1 butter knife, 2 milk
glasses, 1 cereal bowl, 1 Tinkerbell plate and 1
coffee mug = 8 dishes to wash up, no problem.
HOUSEHOLD (REALITY) MATH: 7 spoons, 3 butter
knives, 2 milk glasses, 3 bowls, 1 Tinkerbell
plate, 5 water glasses, 1 coffee mug, 11 forks, 4
saucers, 1 of your "best" china dinner plates
that no one admits to using, 1 sippy cup and 2
plastic dinosaurs = 39 dishes to wash up and 2
dinosaurs to remove and ask a child to put away;
Or, better yet, 39 dishes to put in the
dishwasher and give up the idea of doing them by hand.
VOLUME:
Your 12 lb. puppy uses piddle pads that state
they absorb up to 16 oz. of liquid. According to
the Vet Answerman website, a normal dog drinks 1
oz. of water per pound per 24 hour day. You?re
leaving for work and will return in 9 hours;
will one piddle pad be enough?
SCHOOL MATH: Yes, one will be enough. Even if the
dog piddled out every ounce of water she drank,
she could not create more than 12 oz. of piddle
in a 24 hour day. You can expect her to produce
around 4-6 oz. of piddle while you?re at work, and
the pad absorbs twice that.
HOUSEHOLD MATH: You will need at least 4 piddle
pads, placed in several strategic locations.
Though the puppy drinks 12 oz. of water, she will
seem to produce several gallons of piddle. Some
of it will hopefully be on the piddle pads, but
she will also piddle on the carpet, the new rug
in the family room, the mail including the latest
issue of your favorite magazine and a letter from
the IRS stamped URGENT, and in the center of your bed.
FORCE:
Your husband proudly informs you that he can
press 100 lbs. at the gym. Will he be able to
remove his 30 lb. 3-year old from the neighbor?s
newly poured cement driveway?
SCHOOL MATH: Yes, if he can lift 100 lbs., he
should be able to lift 30 lbs. quite easily.
HOUSEHOLD MATH: Well, yes, eventually, after the
child has run up and down the driveway, sat down
in the wet cement, covered his father?s pants and
shirt with it and screamed till the neighbor
comes out to see what?s going on. As any parent
knows, a 30 lb. child who has gone limp with
resistance weighs a lot more than any 100 lb.
barbell.
PROBABILITY:
A 1" x 1" Lego is lying in the center of a 10' x
10' room. What are the chances of you stepping on
the Lego in your bare feet in the dark?
SCHOOL MATH: 1:14,400 chance = .006944% probability
of stepping on the Lego.
HOUSEHOLD MATH: 99.9% probability, which is
about the same chance you have of tripping over
the cat who is able to see you stepping on the
Lego in the dark and so can calculate the best
strategic moment to dash in front of you in order
to cause maximum chaos, the most entertaining
language and the greatest damage to surrounding
furniture, before retiring to the laundry room to
calmly lick the underside of its hind leg.
TIME:
Suppose you are the mother of 9 month old twins.
You are dressed nicely and ready to go to a
special event. It takes you 10 minutes to diaper
and dress one baby. You are due to be there in 40
minutes and your destination is only 10 minutes
away. Will you be on time?
SCHOOL MATH: Yes. (10 min X 2 babies) + 10 min
drive = 30 minutes, you may even be a few minutes
early.
HOUSEHOLD (REALITY) MATH: Not a chance.
(10 min X Baby 1) + (10 min X Baby 2) + (20 min
to find another clean outfit and re-change Baby
1) + (10 min to change your own clothes again) +
(15 min to calm screaming meltdown and stuff
resisting Baby 2 into carseat2) + (10 min to
stuff wriggling Baby 1 who is determined to grab
Baby 2?s pacifier into carseat 1) + (20 min to
pack all the baby paraphernalia into the back of
the car) + ( . . .
You'll be late. Or, consider whether the trip is
really worth it. If not, change into sweats, give
each baby a cracker and start a batch of laundry.
So, do study your school math you'll need it in
the workplace, and you can also use it to add up
groceries, subtract medical co-pays from your
checkbook, count each child?s M&M?s so they won't
fight over the extra one, etc. etc.
But keep in mind that the real world doesn't
always follow the rules of math or science we
learned in school.

>SMILES
A woman walked up to the manager of a department store. "Are you hiring
any help?" she asked.
"No," he said. "We already have all the staff we need."
"Then would you mind getting someone to wait on me?" she asked.
-----------
"Oh, No!" he gasped as he surveyed the disaster before him. Never in his
40 years of life had he seen anything like it. How anyone could have
survived he did not know.
He could only hope that somewhere amid the overwhelming destruction he
would find his 16-year-old son. Only the slim hope of finding Danny kept
him from turning and fleeing the scene. He took a deep breath and
proceeded. Walking was virtually impossible with so many things strewn
across his path. He moved ahead slowly.
"Danny! Danny!" he whispered to himself. He tripped and almost fell
several times. He heard someone, or something, move. At least he thought
he did. Perhaps, he was just hoping he did. He shook his head and felt
his gut tighten.
He couldn't understand how this could have happened. There was some
light but not enough to see very much. Something cold and wet brushed
against his hand. He jerked it away.
In desperation, he took another step then cried out, "Danny!"
From a nearby pile of unidentified material, he heard his son. "Yes,
Dad," he said, in a voice so weak it could hardly be heard. He said son,
get up and clean up your bedroom.
----------
At her next checkup, the new doctor told 80 year old lady to bring a
list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.
As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he
realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.
"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?!?"
"Yes, they help me sleep at night."
"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that
could possibly help you sleep!"
She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee.
"Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in
the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks...And
believe me, it helps me sleep at night.
----------
A husband and wife were having a petty argument and both were unwilling
to admit they might be in the wrong. In an attempt to reconcile, the
wife said, "I'll admit I'm wrong, if you'll admit I'm right."
The husband agreed and, being a gentleman, insisted she go first. "I'm
wrong," the wife said. "You're right!" the husband replied, with a
twinkle in his eye.
------------
During a dinner party, the hosts' two little children entered the dining
room totally nude and walked slowly around the table.
The parents were so embarrassed that they pretended nothing was
happening and kept the conversation going. The guests cooperated and
also continued as if nothing extraordinary was happening.
After going all the way around the room, the children left, and there
was a moment of silence at the table, during which one child was heard
to say, "You see, it IS vanishing cream!"
----------
A drunk stumbles along a Baptismal service on a Sunday afternoon down by
the river. He proceeds to stumble down into the water and stands next to
the Minister. The Minister turns, notices the old drunk and says,
"Mister, are you ready to find Jesus?" The drunk looks back and says,
"Yes sir, I am." The Minister then dunks the fellow under the water and
pulls him right back up. "Have you found Jesus?" the Minister asked.
"No, I didn't!" said the drunk. The Minister then dunks him under for a
quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now brother, have you found
Jesus?" "No, I did not!" said the drunk again. Disgusted, the Minister
holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him up and
demands, "For the grace of God, have you found Jesus yet?!!!??" The old
drunk wipes his eyes and pleads, "Are you sure this is where he fell
in?"

One day three teenage girls were driving along when they had a terrible
accident. They were all sent to heaven. At the gates, they met St.
Peter. He said to them, "Welcome to Heaven. There is only one rule here,
don't step on the ducks, don't bother them, just leave them alone. If
you do bother them in any way you will be handcuffed to the ugliest
person in Heaven for all eternity." The first teen thought that this was
rather funny and in all her laughter stepped back almost falling over.
"QUACK!" She had stepped on a duck and so she was handcuffed to the
ugliest person in heaven. The other two teens walked around Heaven
constantly torturing their unlucky friend. As fate would have it the
second teen stepped on a duck also. She was handcuffed to the second
ugliest person in Heaven. The two girls sat moping at the fact that they
were chained to these people for eternity. The next day they saw the
third teen, she was handcuffed to the most gorgeous guy they had ever
seen. She looked at them, realizing their questioning eyes, and said,
"He stepped on a duck."
----------
A blonde and a redhead met in a bar after work for a drink, and were
watching the 6 O'clock news.... A man was shown threatening to jump from
the Brooklyn Bridge. The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't
jump, and the redhead replied, "I'll take that bet!" Anyway, sure
enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owed. The
redhead said "I can't take this, you're my friend". The blonde said "No.
A bet's a bet". So the redhead said "No, really,, I have to admit, I saw
this on the 5 O'clock news, so I can't take your money". The blonde
replied "well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!

It's been a long, long day, and John the truck driver really wanted to
just get home. Living in Washington DC, he knew traffic would be bad
this time of evening, but to his horror, a traffic jam reared ahead of
him larger than anything he could have anticipated.
Bewildered, since he hadn't heard anything yet on the news, he stuck his
head out and just kept seeing cars slowing down and then driving off.
Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window
and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress!"
"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed John.
"And they're asking for a $100 million dollar ransom."
"Jeez Louise!" moaned John.
"Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on
fire!"
"Lord have mercy!" cried John.
"We are going from car to car, collecting donations."
"How much is everyone giving, on average?" asked John.
"About a gallon."

>Stop comparing yourself to others...
If you continue to compare yourself and your life to
those around you, you will continue to spend, spend,
spend to try and keep up.
If you're looking at life through a comparison lens,
you will always be someone with more than you. More
clothes. More jewelry. More cars. A bigger house. More
land. More money. More vacations.
The sooner you acknowledge and accept that, the easier
it will be to stop spending money to try and keep up
with the Joneses. This will help you get and stay out
of debt as well live a more frugal, simple life.
Focus on your goals to save and don't sweat what everyone
else appears to have.
-<>-
>View Coupons as Money
When you realize a $10 coupon for something you need is
the same as someone giving you $10 in cash towards your
purchase, you'll start to see the value of coupons and
savings in a whole new way.
-<>-
>Grow Some Herbs
Herbs can easily be grown indoors on a small windowsill or
outside in pots or gardens. They will help you save on buying
expensive grocery store jars of seasonings, will taste fresher,
and can be easily dried and stored.
-<>-
An interesting grocery survey recently debunked a popular
thrifty myth: That Trader Joe's is not the least expensive
place to buy groceries.
In fact, in an analysis of five nationwide grocery chains, it
was the last on the list for average monthly savings. So,
instead of choosing the grocery store that's closest to you,
or the one everyone says is most affordable, take a look at
all your options. For example, Aldi was found to be the most
cost effective, with an average of 34 percent in monthly savings.
Walmart came in second with 14 percent monthly savings, and
Kroger with 5 percent.
Say goodbye to that small parking lot and hello to effortless
thrifty groceries.
-<>-
When your blow dryer suddenly stops working, clean the lint
out of the vents on all sides with an old dry toothbrush.
Lint that doesn't come out can be picked out with tweezers.
Vacuum the vents with the hose part of your vacuum cleaner.
Your blow dryer should start right back up and will last for
several more months. Care and cleaning of the vents will make
your blow dryer last a lot longer and you won't have to
replace it as often saving you money and a trip to the store!
-<>-
>Use Newspaper Under Mulch
Mulching is a pain, so if you're going to put all that work
into making your beds look nice, why not make it LAST
longer?
Putting several layers of newspaper down BEFORE laying a
layer of mulch helps to keep the weeds out for at least one
whole season!
The newspaper is porous, so water and nutrients can still
pass through and reach the plants, but it blocks the light
so that weeds can't germinate. As an added bonus, earthworms
LOVE to eat newspaper, and will slowly 'compost' it to
enrich your soil.
-<>-
>The Easiest Way to Clean a Lampshade
Sometimes, cleaning jobs are all about having the right
tools. And it turns out that the best tool for cleaning a
lampshade is a fabric softener sheet! They pull away dust
and prevent static cling, which means less dust in the future.
The best part is, it doesn't even matter if the sheet has
been through the dryer! We try to make a habit of quickly
dusting shades before throwing away used sheets.
-<>-
>Wash only full loads of laundry
Most people use the same amount of detergent no matter what
size load they do and even if you cut it back, you are still
using only a tad less than you would for a full load.
Doing only full loads will also save you electricity and if
you pay for water, you'll save quite a few gallons too in
the long run by doing only full loads!

>'Go Green' Hints:
Use Cloth Napkins
Not only are they more durable (one cloth napkin will make
it through a lot more BBQ sauce than a paper one!) but
ditching disposable napkins will also save plenty of money
over the years.
It'll also reduce your trash output, which means less energy
is used transporting and processing your waste. Using
recyclable paper napkins is good for the planet, but it's
even better to not have anything to recycle in the first
place. Plus, cloth napkins make dinner feel oh-so-fancy.
>Cook with residual heat
Turning off the oven five minutes before the meal is ready
will allow the food to continue cooking while also saving some
energy.
It's even easier with pasta: Once the pot's been boiling for
five minutes, cover the pot, switch off the stove, and let it
sit for five more minutes. This will free up the stovetop and
the pasta will be cooked perfectly al dente in less than 10
minutes.
>Buy pre-loved everything
Thrift shops, Goodwill stores, Craigslist, and eBay - there's
simply no end to the places one can find secondhand stuff.
Since reducing our consumerism might be the number one way
to improve our eco footprint, and since secondhand stuff is
cheap, there's every reason in the world to buy what's been
used.
I'll forgive you for buying new underwear, though!

Just goes to show the self-serving BS coming from both sides of the
aisle....
Hungary’s New Border Fence Called a ‘Spectacular Success’.
Skeptics who believe a border wall will not stop illegals from entering
the United States may want to look at what’s happening in Hungary.
On the day its border fence was completed, the influx of illegals
entering Hungary went down from 6,353 per day to 870 the next day. For
the remainder of that month, illegal border crossings were steadily
below 40 per day, officials said.
“They don’t even try,” a local border guard told The Daily Caller News
Foundation. “We haven’t had a Syrian in six months.”
Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s pledge to stop illegals from flowing into
the country appears to be a spectacular success.
Kovacs added, “You might not like it, it’s not a nice thing, but… the
only way to stop illegal border crossings is [to] first build a fence,
man it, equip it, and also, in parallel, build up your capabilities in
terms of legal confines, legal circumstances to be able to handle what
is coming.”
It’s no surprise the mainstream U.S. media refuses to report this story
to the American public Can you imagine how support for a Southern border
wall would spike?

>From BizarreNews:
With all of these gun restrictions and background checks,
not every American can get his hands on a firearm whenever
he wants to knock over a gas station. But you know what
you can get your hands on whenever you want? A machete.
That was the weapon of choice (or availability?) of 32-year-
old Seth Holcomb who tried to rob a Conoco in Huntsville,
Alabama. The only problem was, the clerk had a machete too.
Newly-released surveillance video shows the bizarre machete
fight. Police say Holcomb went inside the gas station and
started to buy something, going back and forth to his car
several times before pulling a large knife on the clerk and
demanding cash. Surveillance video shows Holcomb then tried
to leave the store, but the clerk auto-locked the door. The
unidentified clerk then pulled a bigger knife, a machete,
on Holcomb.
The insane video shows several wild swipes being traded
back and forth between the clerk and Holcomb, before Holcomb
gets frustrated and tries to leave the store. With the door
being auto-locked, he literally has to kick down the entire
wall. Pretty impressive actually.
The clerk followed Holcomb outside and ended up fighting
with Holcomb's partner, 33-year-old Laney Nicholson, who
had her own knife.
Eventually both Holcomb and Nicholson get back inside their
vehicle and drive off, but not before the the clerk gave
their car several good whacks with his machete, smashing
the windshield in the process.
Huntsville Police stopped the couple a short time later and
took them into custody. They both face attempted robbery
charges.
Incredibly, out of all that swinging, slashing and smashing,
no serious injuries were reported.
*--- That's One Stubborn Man ---*
How do you know somebody really doesn't trust the cops? When
he'd rather be burned alive than surrender to them. That's
what almost happened to a man in Princeton, Illinois. The
situation started when a man reportedly pointed a weapon at
another person, according to the Princeton Police Department.
According to a report the man had pointed a firearm at a
woman, who was later removed from the home. The man then
reportedly barricaded himself inside. Police said they
continued negotiations with the suspect until the home
started burning. "The subject continued to resist police
efforts to order him out of the house despite the fact the
house was engulfed in flames," read the police statement.
Eventually the man was taken into custody. He was charged
with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
*--- Some People Really Hate Getting Stuck In The Snow ---*
Hancock, Michigan police were called after midnight on
reports of numerous gun shots. Arriving on the scene
officers found a 37-year-old Hancock man standing outside
his vehicle, which was stuck in a snowbank. Officer
investigation revealed the man was intoxicated. Officers
also found numerous bullet casings on the ground. After a
search of the vehicle, officers found and confiscated a
Glock 9mm pistol. It appeared the shots had been fired
into the snowbank. The man was arrested and lodged in the
Houghton County Jail. The snow was unharmed.
*--- A Leashed Pet Is A Leashed Pet ---*
Petco promises their customers that all leashed pets are
welcome. So one Texas couple decided to test them. Vincent
Browning and Shelly Lumpkin brought Oliver, a Ankole-Watusi
steer, to Petco earlier this week where employees welcomed
him "with open arms." "We decided to take a chance and call
Petco's bluff on the 'ALL LEASHED PETS ARE WELCOME' policy,"
Browning said in a Facebook post. "The awesome crew at
Petco - Atascocita did not disappoint!" Lumpkin said the
couple was on its way back from an event with Oliver when
they stopped at the Petco. She asked an employee they knew
if she wanted to come see Oliver and the employee insisted
they bring the animal inside. "People couldn't believe it,"
Lumpkin said. "The whole staff there was really nice about
it and excited." The Petco store, located about 25 miles
north of Houston, responded to Browning's challenge on
Facebook saying, "We mean it when we say ALL leashed pets
are welcome in our stores." Oliver, who has his own Facebook
page with more than 37,000 followers, weighs a little more
than 1,600 pounds according to Lumpkin. She said his horns
are 114 inches from tip to tip when measured along the curve.
*--- The 'Magic' Beer Fridge ---*
A pair of men doing cleanup work in Nebraska floodwaters
discovered a "magic fridge" in an empty field that was
filled with ice-cold beer. Kyle Simpson and Gayland Stouffer
said they were heading back toward the highway after a day
of cleanup work on Simpson's land, near Schuyler, when they
spotted a black box that had apparently been dropped into
the empty field by the flooded Platte River, which had since
receded from the field. The box turned out to be a
refrigerator filled with Busch Light and Bud Light beers.
The men shared photos of the "magic fridge" with friends,
who posted the pictured to social media. Simpson and Stouffer
said the photos went viral and were eventually seen by the
owner of the fridge. "I couldn't hardly believe they found
it all intact," Healy told the Omaha World-Herald. "The
pictures really made me laugh." Simpson said he plans to
reunite Healy with his property. "I told the guy as soon as
my roads are repaired that I would return it to them," he
told local news. "Minus a couple of a beers."

At a workshop on dog temperament, the instructor noted that
a test for a canine's disposition was for an owner to fall
down and act hurt. A dog with poor temperament would try to
bite the person, whereas a good dog would lick his owner's
face or show concern.
Once, while eating pizza in the living room, I decided to
try out this theory on my two dogs. I stood up, clutched
my heart, let out a scream and collapsed on the floor.
The dogs looked at me, glanced at each other and raced to
the coffee table for my pizza.

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.

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!"

>The Red B
In the afternoon this guy drives down a highway to visit a nearby lake
and relax. On his way to the lake one guy dressed from head to toe in
red standing on the side of the highway gestures him to stop. Our guy
rolls down the window. "How can I help you?"
"I am the red B of the asphalt. You got something to eat?"
With a smile in his face, he hands one of his sandwiches to the red
dressed guy and drives away.
Not even five minutes thereafter he comes across another guy. This time
the guy is dressed fully in yellow, standing on the side and waving him
to stop. A bit irritated our guy stops, cranks down the window. "What
can I do for you?"
"I am the yellow B of the asphalt. You got something to drink?"
Hardly managing to smile this time he hands to the guy a can of coke and
then stomps on the pedal and takes off again. In order to make it to
the lakeside before sunset he decides to go faster and not to stop no
matter what.
To his frustration he sees another guy on the side, dressed all in blue,
making a hand signal to stop him. Not quite willing, our guy decides to
stop a last time, rolls his window down and yells to the guy, "So, let
me guess, you're the blue B of the asphalt, and just what the heck do
*you* want?"

Small problem, her key wouldn't fit the ignition. Her car was identical

She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.

A man tried to board the bus while rocking and pivoting the ATM Machine
he just had stolen. The bus driven refused to open the door and the
robber was eventually nabbed with the goods.

Watch in amazement as a lion hunting on the plains of Africa gives
a baby wildebeest a second chance at life. The massive herds of
wildebeests and other animals are prime targets for lions but when
it came to this little calf the lion had a change of heart. The
wildebeest calf started imprinting on the lion like it was it’s
mother.

This baby isn't even old enough to crawl, but he's old enough to cut a
rug! I must have watched this video 20 times at least. It's that cute!
Check out the newest dancing baby sensation to take over the Internet.

Almost every discussion of foreign policy has something to do with
what's happening in the Middle East right now. But I'm always surprised
by how little some people know about what's actually going on. This
video does a great job at breaking down the situation in simple
language.

Some of these (like the bacon one) I've known about forever. But a few
