The other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at
war...My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and
I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve
and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give
him a good explanation. My husband thought for a few minutes and then
told my son to go stand in our front living room window.
He said "Son, stand there and tell me what you see?"
"I see trees and cars and our neighbor's houses." he replied.
"OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the United
States of America and you are President Bush."
Our son giggled and said "OK."
"Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house
and yard on this block is a different country" my husband said.
"OK Dad, I'm pretending."
"Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend you
see Saddam coming out of his house with his wife, he has her by the hair
and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the
face, he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death.
Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are screaming
and crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids
and they are afraid of their father. You see all of this, son....what do
you do?"
"Dad?"
"What do you do son?"
"I'd call the police, Dad."
"OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations. They take your
call. They listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help. What
do you do then son?"
"Dad.......... but the police are supposed to help!" My son starts to
whine.
"They don't want to son, because they say that it is not their place or
your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it," my
husband says.
"But Dad...he killed her!!" my son exclaims.
"I know he did...but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want
you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you're
pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children."
"Daddy...he kills them?"
"Yes son, he does. What do you do?"
"Well, if the police don't want to help, I will go and ask my next door
neighbor to help me stop him." our son says.
"Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get
involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him," my
husband says.
"But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can't stop him by myself!!"
"WHAT DO YOU DO SON?" Our son starts to cry.
"OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask for
help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and
puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?"
"What Daddy?"
"He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her
door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire
and then..he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in the
window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?"
"Daddy..."
"WHAT DO YOU DO?" Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers,
"I'd close the blinds, Daddy."
My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him. "Why?"
"Because Daddy.....the police are supposed to help people who needs
them...and they won't help.... You always say that neighbors are
supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won't help either...they won't help
me stop him...I'm afraid....I can't do it by myself Daddy.....I can't
look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things
and...and.....do nothing...so....I'm just going to close the blinds....
so I can't see what he's doing........and I'm going to pretend that it
is not happening."
I start to cry My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in the
window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husband's
questions and he says...
"Son"
"Yes, Daddy."
"Open the blinds because that man.... he's at your front door... "WHAT
DO YOU DO?"
My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up
his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without
hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT
MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I'M GONNA FIGHT
HIM!!!!!"
I see a tear roll down my husband's cheek and he grabs our son to his
chest and hugs him tight, and says... "It's too late to fight him, he's
too strong and he's already at YOUR front door son.....you should have
stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife, and his children and the old lady
across the way. You have to do what's right, even if you have to do it
alone, before its too late." my husband whispers.
THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq. When good
men stand by and let evil happen son, THAT is the greatest atrocities in
the world won't affect him. "YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS
RIGHT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!" BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! BE
PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT THEM!!! SUPPORT AMERICA SO THAT IN THE
FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS..."
This should be printed in every newspaper and posted in every school in
America. Of course that won't happen so we'll use the internet. If your
blinds are closed do nothing with this email. If they are open I do not
need to tell you what to do.
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!

AN ET-AHEM!
A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among
three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and
watches to see what they do with the money.
The first does a total make-over. She goes to a fancy beauty
salon, gets her hair done, new make-up and buys several new outfits, and
dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this
to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.
The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new
set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive
clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent
all the money on him because she loves him so much
Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several
times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the
remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for
their future because she loves him so much.
Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done
with the money he'd given her.
Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.
Men are like that, you know.
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra
today than on Alzheimer' s research. This means that by 2040, there
should be a large elderly population with perky breasts and huge
manhoods and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
If you don't send this to five OLD friends right away there will
be five fewer people laughing in the world

--- Bizarre Revenge ---------------------+
After his wife left him, spurned husband Donald Niblett
wrecked their home with a bulldozer, causing damage in
excess of 15,000 English pounds.
In 1988, an Egyptian belly-dancer paid back her unfaithful
husband by going on a massive spending spree with his credit
card totaling $46,000 before flying to his villa in France
and smashing the place up.
A married pilot dismissed his mistress from his London
apartment. The young woman agreed to leave but asked for a
day to pack her belongings. When he returned from an over-
seas flight he found the phone off the hook. His mistress
had made a long distance call to the speaking clock in
Washington D.C.
A housewife, distraught over her husband's unfaithfulness,
decided to throw herself out of the window of their third
floor apartment. She didn't realize her husband was walking
beneath. She survived, he did not.
-- Missing Love Lives Adorning Milk Cartons ---------
CARDIFF, Wales, Unmarried residents are posting personal
descriptions on milk cartons in search of love as part of a
lonely hearts venture in the Welsh town of Denbigh. Working
off the concept of missing children that have long adorned
milk cartons, those living around the small Welsh town decided
to place the romantic "Fancy a Farmer?" stickers on area milk
products to find dates, the Western Mail said. Iwan Jones,
who helped expand the venture from a simple joke, said the
stickers could potentially assist area residents to find
romantic relationships in an area bereft of a dating scene.
"The Welsh countryside is a great place to live, with stunning
scenery, but it can be a hard place to find a date, as I'm
finding out," Jones said. "The ratio of men to women is skewed
where I live because a lot of young women have moved to other
areas like Cardiff to find work after leaving college," he
added. Working in conjunction with the online site,
pishyn.com, the dairy service is aiming to set up local
singles dates in time for the romantic Welsh holiday of St.
Dwynwen's Day on Thursday.

Bread, water for pupil without lunch money
An English mother says her 8-year-old daughter was fed
bread and water and an overripe banana at school because
she did not have her lunch money. Michelle Williams told
the Daily Mail she got a telephone call from Castle Hill
Primary School in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, and
promised to bring the 3.50-pound (almost $7) fee. But
by the time she got there she found her daughter had
already been forced to sit with friends while they ate
hot meals and she chewed on bread. "I was quite upset,"
Courtney Williams said. "I had to sit and watch everyone
else eat proper meals and I just had some bread and an
old banana with a black skin." Michelle Williams, a
single mother, has applied for free meals for her
daughter, but the application is still being processed,
the newspaper said.

Smoking bans enacted in many U.S. cities may soon extend
to the stage, prohibiting actors in live theater from
smoking as part of a performance. The possible extension
of the smoking ban is upsetting some actors and their
representatives, who say smoking can be artistically
integral to some productions. Many theaters have been
using herbal cigarettes instead of tobacco to get around
bans, but in some places -- such as Colorado and Scotland
-- even herbal smokes are out of the questiion. Three
theater companies in Colorado went so far as to sue the
state, arguing the ban limits free expression, the
newspaper said. "It will deny residents in Colorado access
to great prior works, and cutting-edge new plays as well,"
said Bruce Jones, the lawyer representing the theaters.
A judge ruled against the theaters in October. If
health codes in the United States continue to become
stricter, the newspaper said, more theaters could face
outright on-stage smoking bans.
Rare animals keeping Israeli army safe
Several of the Israel Defense Force's northern military
bases have taken to using endangered animals to keep their
guarded posts safe from bush fires. The Times of London
reported that with bush fires threatening the sites'
stores of ammunition and explosives, Israel Defense Force
Major Ofer Cohen proposed using the rare animals to keep
down area vegetation. Now the bases use eland, Africa's
largest species of antelope, to eat the vegetation that
once threatened the military unit's bases and their
presence has had an added bonus as well. "It's like
Noah's Ark, everyone wins here," Cohen explained. "The
soldiers are much happier; they like it so much they
even want to stay here on their days off. It has
improved morale and made everyone much more aware of
the environment, so it's become an educational tool as
well." Since adding the antelope to the base, the
military unit has expanded its Noah's Ark-based endeavor
to include Atlas mountain goats and rare desert oryx,
another form of antelope.

The Bathtub Test
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and
this should help get you started.
During a visit to the mental asylum, visitor asked the Director what the
criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be
institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to
empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you
want a bed near the window?"
~~DID YOU PASS, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?~~
...A window bedside would be nice... ;)

>Why God Created Animals
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the
answer to "Where do pets come from?" Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the
garden, you walked with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am
lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love
me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that
will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for
you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of
how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will
accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it
was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased
to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have
already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a
name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal
to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of
my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him.
And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased.

And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to
the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts
and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog
has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well."
And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion
who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The
companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is
not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam.

And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was
reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.
And God was pleased.
And Adam was greatly improved.
And Dog was happy.

>Your Son Is Here
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
"Your son is here," she said to the old man.
She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes
opened.
Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw
the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached
out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old
man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.
All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted
ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and
strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away
and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse c ame into the ward, the Marine was
oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking
of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging
greetings,the cries and moans of the other patients.
Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said
nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now
lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she
did what she had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the
Marine interrupted her.
"Who was that man?" he asked. The nurse was startled, "He was your
father," she answered. "No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw
him before in my life."
"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"
"I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed
his son, and his son just wasn't here. When I realized that he was too
sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed
me, I stayed."
The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.
WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS GOING THROUGH A TEMPORARY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.
WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS GOING THROUGH A TEMPORARY HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
(love this line)
PLEASE PASS THIS ONE ON AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU! THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PUT
ON THIS EARTH TO DO ANYWAY. RIGHT ? HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BLESS SOMEONE
ELSE IN SOME LITTLE WAY TODAY! GOD IS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

HOW LATEX GLOVES ARE MADE
A dentist noticed that his next patient, an elderly lady, was looking
very nervous so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his
gloves.
"Do you know how they make these gloves?" he asked.
"No, I don't" she replied Well," he spoofed, "there's a building in
China with a big tank of latex and workers of all hand sizes walk up
to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the
gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size."
She didn't crack a smile.
"Oh, well. I tried," he thought. But five minutes later, during a
delicate portion of the dental procedure, she burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"I was just picturing how condoms are made!" she said.
Gotta watch those little old ladies!
Their minds are always working.

>The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City , where
a woman may go to choose a husband.. Among the instructions at the
entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the
value of the products increases as the shopper ascends the flights.
The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose
to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit
the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good
Looking. Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good
Looking and help with Housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can
hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead
Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and
the Sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor -
there are NO men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that
women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a new
WIFE STORE just across the street.
The first floor has woman that love sex.
The second floor has woman that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

A children's Sunday School Class spent several weeks studying
different religions. They studied Catholics, Protestants, Muslims,
Jews, Buddhist and Hindus. Finishing out the study, the teacher was
asking the youngsters some questions about what they learned and how
their denomination of Christianity compared to the others. As they
finished up by talking about the various forms of Christianity she
asked, "And, what do you call us?" One of the kids piped up and
said, "I know, I know......we're prostitutes."

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no! time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
Now - - - - do YOU have the time
to pass this on for the Love of our Lord?
...I know I do! :)

>-->From AndyChaps:
"Stupid Love"
During a friendly argument, Jim asked his wife
why she married him in the first place. "I was
just stupid," she teased. When he said he
was happy to hear that, she was
surprised and requested an explanation.
"Well, people get divorced all the time because
they fall out of love," he said. "But I've never
heard of anybody falling out of stupid."

Changing Places For A Day: From Tony:
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife
stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed,
"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife
merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please
create a trade in our bodies."
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose,
cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school
clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school,
came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and
stopped at the bank to draw out money to pay the power bill and
telephone bill, drove to the power company and the phone company and
paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the
groceries.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already
p.m. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and
sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids
and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out cookies and
milk and got the kids organize to do their homework, then set up the
ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began
peeling potatoes and washing greens for salad, breaded the pork chops
and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry,
bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 p.m. he was exhausted and,
though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was
expected to make love-which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said,
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my
wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade
back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have
learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way
they were. You'll have to wait 9 months, though. You got pregnant last
night.

I Remember When... (More From Tony)
**Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
**Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
**"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
**Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in Monopoly.
**Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
**It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
**Being old referred to anyone over 20.
**The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball
and rules didn't matter.
**The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
**It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
**It was unbelievable that dodge ball wasn't an Olympic event.
**Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot.
**Nobody was prettier than Mom.
**Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
**It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people"
rides at the amusement park.
**Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.
**Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."
**Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action figures.
**No shopping trip was complete unless a new toy was brought home.
**"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense.
**Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
**The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
**War was a card game.
**Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
**Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.
**Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin.
**Ice cream was considered a basic food group (and STILL is as far as I
am concerned!!)
**Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest
protectors.
**If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!!

I Need Some 4 by 2's: From Rev Tim
A couple of goobers in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard.
One of them walked into the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."
The clerk said, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"
The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck.
He returned a minute later and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-fours."
"All right. How long do you need them?"
The customer paused for a minute and said, "I'd better go check."
After a while, he returned to the office and said,
"A long time. We're gonna build a house."

Trouble With My Banker
A man was called into his bank to discuss his accounts.
"Your finances are in terrible shape," the banker stated. "Your
checking account is overdrawn, your loan is overdue."
"Yes, I know." said the man. "It's my wife, she is out of control."
"Why do you allow your wife to spend more money than you have?"
asked the banker.
"Frankly," replied the man with a deep sigh, "because I'd rather
argue with you than with her.

Letter To The Editor (Political)
This letter to the editor was in the San Diego Union Tribune on
12/6/00.
Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Lieberman recently asked the
question,
"What will we tell our children
if every vote is not counted?"
Here is the response of one citizen:
"As a former teacher, I have been concerned about Joe Lieberman's
question. What we should, and must, tell our children is that if
they fail to mark the right answer on the exam, or do not fill in
the entire test, they will not get credit for their answers. If
they do it often enough, and if they do not ask for help or read
the directions properly, they will fail.
We should tell them that when they are older and move to Florida,
they must fully read their ballot and remove the entire chad and
not keep the entire nation waiting because of their mistakes.
We must also tell them to read and read well, to play by the rules
and expect a favorable outcome. Teaching them to make excuses for
their mistakes has led to a society of victims unable to take
responsibility.

The Winning Blonde
A blonde walks up to a coke machine, puts a dollar in,
presses the button, a can comes out, she says "wow!".
So she puts another dollar in, presses the button and another
can comes out. She keeps doing this over and over again.
Soon enough there are about 30 cans all stacked around her.
A guy comes up to her and says
"Ah miss, can I please use the can machine"
And the blonde replies
"No! Im winning!!!"

=== Awesome Factoid ===
The average woman consumes 6 lbs of lipstick in her lifetime.
" And we blame McDonalds and kids for our excess weight!"

My Son Needs Help
A man pleaded with the psychiatrist,
"You've got to help me. It's my son."
"What's the matter?"
"He's always eating mud pies. I get up in the morning and
there he is in the backyard eating mud pies. I come hoes at
lunch and he's eating mud pies. I come home at dinner and
there he is in the backyard eating mud pies."
The psychiatrist reassured him, "Give the kid a chance. It's
all part of growing up. It'll pass."
"Well, I don't like it, and neither does his wife."

>-->From CleanLaffs:
Jim was just falling off to sleep when his wife nudged him
and said the telephone was ringing. At this hour it was
probably for him, she said, closing her eyes. Jim rolled
out of bed and trundled downstairs. When he returned, his
wife was asleep. He woke her. "Wasn't for me, after all,"
he said. She crawled out of bed and pulled on a robe and
was half way to the door when he added, "It was a wrong
number."
-<>-
As a distinguished matron approached the church entrance, a
little boy stepped aside and held the door for her.
"What a polite little doorman," she said as she walked
through. "Is there a tip involved?"
"Oh, no," answered the young man. "My mother taught me never
to be good for money, but always to be good for nothing."

Q. Why do we knock on wood for luck?
A. In pagan times people believed that trees were the god's
abode. To touch a tree was to show respect to the gods.

Q. Was there really a U.S. President who held the office for
just one day?
A. Yes. When Zachary Taylor was inaugurated in March 1849,
he would not take the Oath of Office on a Sunday. The
offices of President and Vice President were vacant at
the time, so someone had to be the president and David
Rice Atchison, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate,
was sworn in as president.

Doesn't Matter.
