While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat, old lady in a wheelchair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button.

They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.

Thanks Del! -<>- >"I'm 63 and Im Tired" by Robert A. Hall I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money. I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela. I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois. I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government. I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough. I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need. I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear. I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois, where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet. I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing. I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter. .---. ___ /_____\ /\.-`( '.' ) / / \_-_/_ \ `-.-"`'V'//-. `.__, |// , \ |Ll //Ll|\ \ |__// | \_\ /---|[]==| / / \__/ | \/\/ /_ | Ll_\| |`^"""^`| | | | | | | | | | | | | L___l___J jgs |_ | _| (___|___) ^^^ ^^^ Robert A.

Thanks Del! ================================================================ >-->In The Worldly News: [POLITICS] >From Patriot UpDate: Obama’s Do as I say, not as I do in Blaming Bush http://tinyurl.com/27a82hm Stand Up and Protect and Defend the legacy of liberty http://tinyurl.com/24kt2oj >From TCC: TCC Action Alert: Follow Arizona's Lead http://tinyurl.com/27wmfk2 -<>- >From BizarreNews: A couple of issues ago I made a comment about police as a "necessary evil" which prompted several people to write in, passionately defending cops for the difficult and dangerous job that they do. And I agree. When a cop jeopardizes his or her safety to defend the life and property of the citizenry they are a hero. It is when police become an agent for authoritarianism and a tax-collecting tool, infringing upon the rights and freedoms of the citizenry, that they become an evil. You might be thinking that's just plain, old paranoia, but I just read two stories that demonstrate how our freedoms are slowly being curtailed. Three days ago www.ohio.com reported that Ohio's highest court has ruled that a person may be convicted of speeding purely if it looked to a police officer that the motorist was going too fast. Apparently Cleveland can't afford traffic camera's so their traffic cops can now issue speeding tickets bases upon educated guesses. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that an officer's visual estimation of speed is enough to support a conviction if the officer is certified by a training academy, and ex- perienced in watching for speeders. Independent verification of a driver's speed is not necessary. So try not to "look" like you're speeding. And if you feel like you are being harassed by the police for whatever reason, be careful trying to protect yourself by filming them. According to gizmodo.com a new trend in law enforcement is gaining popularity. In at least three states, it is now illegal to record any on-duty police officer. Even if the encounter involves you and may be necessary to your defense, and even if the recording is on a public street where no expectation of privacy exists. The legal justification for arresting the "shooter" rests on existing wiretapping or eavesdropping laws, with statutes against obstructing law enforcement sometimes cited. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are among the 12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that recording is underway. Since the police do not consent, the camera-wielder can be arrested! So the police can record you with dashboard cams, but you can't record them...unless you want to get arrested! That sounds fair. Better not argue about that speeding ticket. -- Baby walks at 6 months ----------------- CAMBRIDGE, England - Doctors said the case of a British baby who learned to walk unaided at just 6 months is "extremely uncommon." Mary King, 30, and her husband David, 27, of Cambridge, England, said their first child, Xavier, amazed them when he began sitting up on his own at 3 months and only further shocked them when he stood up and started walking distances of up to 6 feet on his own in January, when he was 6 months old, The Daily Telegraph reported. "Xavier is more advanced than most babies his age. It was just amazing when he got up and started putting one leg in front of the other," King said. "The only problem now is that I can't leave him alone so have had to buy a play pen so he doesn't get into any mischief." Dr. Martin Ward Platt, consultant pediatrician at Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, England, said it is rare for babies to start walking so young. "To be quite so precocious with your walking is extremely uncommon, but... it will happen from time to time," he said. "For his parents, having to cope with a much more mobile child much earlier than expected simply brings forward the moment you need eyes in the back of your head." -- Man builds 625-square-foot snow house --------- CHARDON, Ohio - An Ohio man said he is putting the finish- ing touches on his winter project: a 625-square-foot snow castle built in the front yard of his family's home. Jimmy Grey, 25, of the Chardon area in Geauga County, said the 25-foot-by-25-foot structure, which boasts four rooms, a flat-screen TV, a surround-sound system, strobe lights and beer that never goes warm, was a project born out of a desire to keep busy after losing his job last spring, The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland reported Monday. Grey said he started the project after an early January snow- storm using snow collected from his neighborhood and soon found himself enlisting friends to help truck snow in from around the area. The man said the luxury igloo, which uses electricity from his garage and cable TV from his house, hosts get-togethers a few nights a week and will likely remain a monument to his winter well into the warm months. "To be honest," Grey's father, Jim Sr., said, "I'll be surprised if it's gone by the Fourth of July." --- ...I bet his idea is 'all wet' now! HaHa! He needs to play here...

The Alliance Studying Paranormal Experiences, based in the small village of Angel Fire, claims the region has received multiple visits. Alliance President Janet Sailor calls the area a "UFO hot spot." The latest reported discovery was last year when Judy Piper, an Angel Fire accountant, dis- covered circles on land she owns in the Moreno Valley outside of town. She reported the find to Sailor, and last weekend, Dee Gragg, a New Mexico State University professor and assistant director of the state chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, came to Angel Fire to discuss the circles. Gragg said the important question is what kind of craft landed in the valley. He regards the question of whether there was a landing as answered. At a meeting Saturday, he showed slides of the circles. Gragg described them as most likely the footprints of several small ships, either unmanned probes or carriers of small aliens. --- ...Reminds me of these...

The instructions left in the will said that the oldest boy was to get one-half, the second oldest one-third, and the youngest one-ninth. The three sons, recognizing the difficulty of dividing 17 mules into these fractions, began to argue. Their uncle heard about the argument, hitched up his mule and drove out to settle the matter. He added his mule to the 17, making 18. The oldest therefore got one-half, or nine, the second oldest got one-third, or six, and the youngest son got one-ninth, or two. Adding up 9, 6 and 2 equals 17. The uncle, having settled the argument, hitched up his mule and drove home. -<>- Nothing rattles my father-in-law, especially when the St. Louis Cardinals are on TV.

I've used it since the beginning of my married life, ever since my Mom told me it was the best. Now that I am older and going through menopause, I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My unfeeling and uncaring husband started to berate me about how clumsy I was and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and I ended up with some of his blood on my white blouse. I tried to get the stain out using a bargain detergent, but it just wouldn't come out. After a quick trip to the supermarket, I purchased a bottle of liquid Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well, that when the detectives came by yesterday, they told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative, and then my attorney called and said that I would no longer be considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief. Well, got to go. I have to write a letter to the Hefty bag people... : in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief. I thank you, once again, for having such a great product. -<>- ==_a=_========()=== /|_|_| || | |`|`|______[__]_ jrei '-(O)-------(O)(O)' A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past.

"No," said another, "he's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant." -<>- ________________ '------._.------'\ \_______________\ .'| .'| .'_____________.' .| | | | | Scooby _.-. | . | | * (_.-' | | | Snacks | .| | * * | .' |______________|.' LGB >You Know You're A Dog Person When... * All dates must pass your dog's inspection. * All of your clothes have dog hair on them, even when they come back from the Laundromat or dry cleaners. * You get birthday cards for each of your dogs from family, friends, and the vet. * If you are cold, you put a sweater on your dog. * Your voice is recognized by your vet's receptionist. * City officials come to your home and say "Your dogs are barking." And you can't figure out what the problem is. * Dog crates double as chairs and/or tables in your family room. * It's easier to get a hairdresser's appointment for yourself than it is to get one for your dog. * Nobody's feet are allowed on the furniture, but your dogs are welcome to sleep on any piece they so choose. * The first question you ask when on a date is: "So, do you like animals?" * The instructions to the dog kennel are longer than the instructions to the house sitter. ===================================================================== >-->From ScreamOfTheCrop: Q. Why can't we hear what goes on inside our body? A. Nature has seen fit to tune our hearing so that we hear high-pitched sounds (e.g. the human voice), rather than the lower-pitched sounds like blood rushing through the arteries. The odds of hearing blood pumping are further decreased by the fact the most sound-sensitive areas around the ear have no blood vessels in them. -<>- >Mouse-to-Mouse _,,,_ .' `'. / ____ \ | .'_ _\/ / ) a a| .----. / ( > | /| '--.

Recently one of our computers not only crashed, it made a noise that sounded like a heart monitor. "This computer has flat-lined!" a co-worker called out with mock horror. "Does anyone here know how to do mouse-to-mouse?" -<>- >Office visit A woman went to the doctor's office where she was seen by a young, new doctor. After about 4 minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the first doctor was and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 59 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?" The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, "Does she still have the hiccups?" -<>- _ _ __ ___.--'_`. .'_`--.___ __ ( _`.'. - 'o` ) ( 'o` - .`.'_ ) _\.'_' _.-' `-._ `_`./_ ( \`. ) //\` '/\\ ( .'/ ) \_`-'`---'\\__, ,__//`---'`-'_/ \` `-\ /-' '/ ` ' VK A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?" (you're gonna love this) (its a real treat) The bank manager looks back at her and says... "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone." --- National Anthem of the Frogs ============================= God save our gracious Frogs Long live our noble Frogs Long live the Frogs Send them victorious Happy and glorious Long to croak over us God save the Frogs. ______ (__ __) | | | |________........--------........________ __ | |\\ ~~~~~~~~------~~~~ || | | \\ o || | | || o^/|\^o || | | || o\*`'.\|/.'`*/o || | | || \\\\\\|////// || | | || {><><@><><} || | | || ).--._.--.( || | | || ( O O ) || | | ||::::::::::::::::: / . . \ :::::::::::::::|| | | ||::::::::::::::::: .`._______.'. :::::::::::::::|| | | ||::::::::::::::::: /( \_/ )\ :::::::::::::::|| | | ||:::::::::::::::::: _/ \ \ / / \_ :::::::::::::::::|| | | ||::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::|| | | ||::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::|| | | ||::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::|| | | ||::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::|| | |//::::::''''''''~~~~~~~~''''''''::::::::::::::::::::::::::''~~ | | ~~~~~~~~~~ | | -cfbd99- THE ROYAL FROG STANDARD ...Visit here for the real meaning of frog!
