St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?" .------._ The first priest says, "I've .-"""`-.<') `-._ always wanted to be an eagle, (.--. _ `._ `'---.__.-' soaring above the Rocky ` `;'-.-' '- ._ Mountains." .--'`` '._ - ' . `""'-. `---' , "So be it," says St. Peter, and `\ off flies the first priest. `\ .' `'. ' The second priest mulls this over for jgs `'. a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter ?" "No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing." "In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud." "So be it" says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears. A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks. "The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult." "Why ?" asketh the Lord. "He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota." ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ September 1 is Emma M.

An old lady watches him as she sits on a nearby bench knitting. After half an hour the golfer is just about to give up, when the old lady says, "Excuse me. But is it against the rules if I tell you where it is?" -<>- >New Phone The father of a teenage daughter was concerned with the amount of time she spent on the telephone; not so much for the time she wasted (he had given up on that long ago), but because nobody else could use the phone. So, as a happy solution, he had a telephone installed for her with her own private number and directory listing. Two or three days after her telephone had been installed, he came home to find her stretched out on the floor with her feet on the living room couch and chatting away on the family telephone. Her own telephone was resting silently on her dresser. "Why are you using our telephone," he yelled. "Why aren't you talking on your own telephone?" "I can't," she said, "I'm expecting an important call on my phone." -<>- >Substitute Teacher Walking through the hallways at the middle school where I work, I saw a new substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against a locker. I heard him mutter, "How did you get yourself into this?" Knowing that he was assigned to a difficult class, I tried to offer moral support. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Can I help?" He lifted his head and replied, "I'll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of his locker." -<>- >Traffic Circle Waiting my turn to enter a traffic circle (rotary intersection), I noticed a guy drive around twice, then leave by the same road he'd entered.

One day, a saleswoman promoting Avon knocked his door and asked to see his wife, so the guy told her that she wasn't home. "Well," the woman said, "could I please wait for her?" The man directed her to the drawing room and left her there for more than three hours. After feeling really worried, she called out for him an asked, "May I ask where your wife is?" "She went to the cemetery," he replied. "And when is she coming back?" "I don't really know," he said. "She's been there eleven years now!" -------- It was a difficult subject to bring up before his aged mother, but John felt that he must. "Mom, you are no longer a spring chicken and you do need to think ahead of what will happen in the future. Why don't we make arrangements about when...you know...when... God forbid...you pass on?" The mother didn't say anything; just sat there staring ahead. "I mean, Mom, like...how do you want to finally go? Do you want to be buried? Cremated?" There was yet another long pause. Then the mother looked up and said, "Surprise me." -------- One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Johnny was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The seven- year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning son." "Good morning, pastor," replied the young man, focused on the plaque. "Sir, what is this?" Johnny asked. "Well son, these are all the people who have died in the service," replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly, "Which one, sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30 service?" ------- A little boy didn't go to school one day. The next day when the teacher asked him why, he said "Our cow was on heat, so I had to take her to the bull". "How disgusting," said the teacher? "I'm sure your father could have done that." "No ma'am, he couldn't have. It has to be the bull" -------- On September 26, 1985, in Springfield, Illinois, Red Skelton appeared on stage at the convention center. He put in a full, exhausting two hours of entertainment, then came on stage and announced that he was 76 years old. "But I expect to live many more years," Red announced, "because I had a grandmother who lived to be 110." The audience gasped and applauded, and Red Skelton held up his hand. "Wait," he said, "you haven't heard it all. I said she lived to be 110. Then she died. But you didn't let me finish, we saved the baby!" -------- A friend told an airhead: "Christmas is on a Friday this year." The airhead replied, "Let's hope it's not the 13th." -------- A man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts: "Did you find the shampoo?" He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine." ------- An airhead goes to the vet with the pet goldfish. I think it's got epilepsy," the airhead tells the vet. The vet takes a look and says, "It seems calm enough to me." The airhead replies, "Wait, I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet". ------- An airhead spies a letter lying on the doormat. It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND" - spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up. ------- A man shouts frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" asks the doctor. "No", he shouts, "this is her husband!" ------- A passerby asks an airhead: "Why do scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?" To which the blonde man replies: "If they fell forward, they'd still be in the boat." ------- An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him. He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog. As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting any more than his paws wet. The friend saw everything but did not say a single word. On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?" "I sure did," responded his friend. "He can't swim." -------- A young man who was an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. He figured that if he played very fast, he could get in nine holes before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off, an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man. Unable to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him. To his surprise, the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway, and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree directly between his ball and the green. After the young man spent several minutes debating how to hit the shot, the old man said, "You know, when I was your age, I'd hit the ball right over that tree." With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard and hit the ball, which smacked solidly into the tree and dropped to the ground about one foot from where it had originally lain. The old man remarked, "Of course, when I was your age, that pine tree was only about three feet tall." ------- A gentleman was standing in line at the airport check-in counter. By his appearance you could tell he was very anxious. There were others in line ahead of him who had also arrived late for the flight and they too became anxious as they watched the door to the jet-way close. When he realized what was happening and that the gate agent was going to have to re-book some of the people in line, he jumped out of line to take the matter into his own hands. "Excuse me, Miss, but I need to get on this flight," he said. She replied, "Yes, sir, so do the rest of the people who are in line in front of you. Now kindly take your place back in line and we'll help you when it is your turn." He didn't like being put off and he thought being a little more forceful would help. So he told her, "You see, if I don't get on that flight, I'm going to miss my meeting. And if you make me miss my meeting, I'm going to be very angry with you." The agent calmly replied, "Sir, we'll help you when it's your turn." Having had enough, the man, a vice president of this particular airline, glared at her and growled, "Do you know who I am?" Also, having had enough, the agent picked up the microphone and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please. This gentleman at the desk does not seem to know who he is. If anyone can identify him, we would all greatly appreciate your assistance." Mr. Vice-president returned to his place in line. ------- The aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first class on emotional extremes. "Just to establish some parameters," said the professor, to the student from Arkansas, "What is the opposite of joy?" "Sadness," said the student. "And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma. "Elation," said she. "And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas, "How about the opposite of woe?" The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy-up." ------- _...._ .'

You know the ones I speak of; those black clunky heeled kind. They just looked so very awful That it weighed upon my mind, For I knew, when I grew old I'd have to wear those shoes. I'd think of that, from time to time; It seemed like such bad news. I never was a rebel. I wore saddle shoes to school. And next came ballerinas, Then the sandals, pretty cool. And then came spikes with pointed toes; Then platforms, very tall. As each new fashion came along, I wore them, one and all. But always, in the distance, Looming in my future, there Was that awful pair of ugly shoes; The kind that Grandmas wear. I eventually got married, And then I became a Mom. Our kids grew up and left, And then their children came along. I knew I was a Grandma, And the time was drawing near, When those clunky, black, old lace up shoes Was what I'd have to wear. How would I do my gardening Or take my morning hike? I couldn't even think about How I would ride my bike! But fashions kept evolving. And one day I realized That the shape of things to come Was changing, right before my eyes. And now, when I go shopping, What I see, fills me with glee For, in my jeans and Reeboks I'm as comfy as can be. And I look at all these teenage girls And there, upon their feet, Are clunky, black, old Grandma shoes! And they really think they're neat. ------- >The Umbrella - Best Senior Moment I've heard! Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester. There were protesters at the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice the young lady said, "Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq?" The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam. All three died so a B like you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella where the sun don't shine and open it!"

So it's not too far to walk home afterwards. And it's the same side of the street. I don't even have to cross the road! Answering machine message, "I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes." My wife and I had words, but I didn't get to use mine. Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your glasses. Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting. The irony of life is that, by the time you're old enough to know your way around, you're not going anywhere. God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question. I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one. Every morning is the dawn of a new error. The quote of the month is by Jay Leno: "With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

As we progress toward 2016, I want to thank you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery. I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel. I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed. Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years. I can't touch any woman's handbag for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public toilet. I must send my special thanks for the email about rat poo in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. Thanks to you I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer buy fuel without taking someone along to watch the car, so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up. I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer. And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life. I no longer go to the cinema because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down. I no longer go to shopping centers because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.. And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a huge phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan. And thanks to your great advice I can't ever pick up a dime coin dropped in the car park because it was probably placed there by a molester waiting to grab me as I bend over. I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off. If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's best friend's beautician! Oh, and by the way... A German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse. Don’t bother taking it off now, it's too late. P.S. I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the toilet...

People said she was strong. I thought she was weak and power hungry. She put up with this ridicule only for money and power. A real woman would have been strong and divorced her lying, cheating man using her own strong self respect as a woman to allow herself to find a man who truly appreciated, respected and loved her. Now it seems she hired another woman who is walking in her foot steps and has the gall to be upset with Trump for calling it like he sees it. It seems the woman stayed with her scumbag man because that is what woman must do in her religion. Hillary can call Republicans all sorts of names - including Terrorists but if a Republican actually says the truth about somebody on her side, she gets offended. Whoopty doo! Total hypocrisy! Woman's rights? She's a farce! All she cares about is money and power! That's why she wants to be president - not to help the poor or the middle class or woman or this country. She just wants back in a place of power. More power equals more money. After all, she has 4 mansions to support! -<>- >From MRC CBS, NBC Skip New E-Mails Revealing Bill Clinton Sought Approval for Speech with African Dictators On the Friday morning network newscasts, CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today showed no interest in picking up on an ABC News report that former President Bill Clinton sought approval from his wife’s State Department for speeches that involved African dictators and North Korea with the speaking fee for the former engagement worth $650,000. http://email.mrc.org/q/17EQkmjuskac0Bup4jmkfC/wv Networks Ignore Hillary's Holocaust-Invoking 'Boxcar' Blast at GOP ABC, CBS, and NBC 's evening newscasts on Friday all failed to cover Hillary Clinton's latest inflammatory attack on Republicans in which she made a thinly-veiled comparison to the Holocaust: "I find it the height of irony that a party, which espouses small government, would want to unleash a massive law enforcement effort...to go and literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces, round them up, put them...in buses, boxcars – in order to take them across our border." http://email.mrc.org/q/17EQkmjuskac0Bup4jmkfC/wv -<>- >From BizarreNews: Talk about your bad day. 25-year-old John Knight was driving his Volvo station wagon down Church Street through San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood at about 10:30 in the morning when he came across a strange scene. A heavyset woman stood wrapped in a blanket, surrounded by medical personnel. Suddenly, the woman whipped the blanket off and threw it at the medics, revealing that she was completely naked, Knight said. Then she turned around and noticed Knight, still stopped and now shocked behind the wheel, about 50 feet away. "She walks directly to me," he said. "She walks up the hood of my car and she begins stomping on my windshield, completely naked." The woman, who Knight estimated to weigh about 250 pounds, cracked his windshield with the first stomp. She got a couple more in before plainclothes officers pulled her off and hand-cuffed her as she screamed, Knight said. Apparently the woman had stripped on a commuter train earlier in the morning for no good reason, and it was pure coincidence that Knight pulled up to that intersection at that exact moment. "They (the insurance company) didn't really know what to make of it." Knight said. -<>- There has been a lot of racial tension in the country lately, what with cops shooting minorities, minorities shooting cops, psychotics shooting minorities, minorities shooting other minorities, and rednecks harassing illegal aliens. People have understandably been getting a little touchy. But where does racism end and hypersensitivity begin? Let's look at a recent case from Denver, Colorado. A restaurant is defending its image after a customer received a racially offensive message on her receipt. "I grabbed the check and I'm looking at it, and that's the first thing that caught my eye, and I was like 'whoa!'" Beatriz Castorena said. As she looked over her receipt, she noticed that below her food were the words, "you f-ing Mexicans." The woman and her husband flagged down their waitress to show her what was written on their receipt. "She grabbed it and she seen [saw] it and she was like, 'oh how funny,'" Castorena recalled. "I was like, 'that's not funny.'" The couple paid their bill and left the restaurant. The next day Castorena said she returned to the restaurant for an explanation and an apology. The owner of the restaurant said he and his staff apologized for what happened and refunded their meal. Sure, it seems racist, but the fact is that Castorena and her husband were in a Mexican restaurant, owned by a Mexican- American and staffed by Mexican-Americans. The waitress, the cooks, the dish-washers; all Mexican. So the question: is it racist? *-- Ohio pro-pot group's superhero mascot draws criticism --* COLUMBUS, Ohio - An Ohio group supporting marijuana legalization is under fire from critics who say the group's new superhero mascot appeals to children. ResponsibleOhio, a group supporting the state's Proposal 3 to legalize marijuana for adults over the age of 21, recently unveiled the superhero mascot, dubbed Buddie, with pictures on Facebook. Buddie features a green marijuana bud for a head and a superhero suit complete with a cape, six-pack abs, and a "B" logo over a picture of a marijuana leaf. Nick Lashutka, president of the Ohio Children's Hospital Association, accused the group of marketing marijuana to children. "I have four kids and if any of them were to see this, they would draw a conclusion that it's OK," Lashutka told Cleveland.com. Jen Detwiler, spokeswoman for rival group Ohioans Against Marijuana Monopolies, said Buddie was a poor choice of mascot. "ResponsibleOhio has placed a lot of emphasis on the 21 and over piece of their amendment but then comes out with a mascot styled after a superhero?" Detwiler said. "It's a pretty shameless attempt to entice young people."

Police said a woman identified by the surname Zhao had the bottle of Remy Martin XO Excellence cognac in her carry-on luggage Friday at Beijing Capital International Airport when security workers told her the item would not be allowed on the plane. Zhao apparently decided to drink the entire bottle on the spot rather than allow it to go to waste, and police officers said they found her shouting and screaming on the floor at her boarding gate, unable to stand on her own. The woman was taken in a wheelchair to a room where she could rest after the captain of her Wenzhou-bound flight decided not to allow her on board, police said. Zhao, who police said had purchased the liquor for about $200 during a trip to the United States and was at the airport to transfer to a domestic flight, woke up a few hours later and thanked police for taking care of her. They said she was not detained or charged with any crime. *-- Boy, 12, trips and puts hole in $1.5 million painting --* TAIPEI, Taiwan - Security cameras at a Taiwan art exhibition captured the moment a 12-year-old tripped and punched a hole in a $1.5 million Paolo Porpora oil painting. Organizers of the "Face of Leonardo: Images of a Genius" exhibition at Huashan 1914 Creative Park in Taipei released footage of the beverage-holding boy tripping next to the still life and putting his fist through the bottom of the canvas before freezing in apparent horror at his mistake. Sun Chi-hsuan, the exhibit's organizer, said the boy's family will not be charged for restoration costs and the $1.5 million painting, titled "Flowers," was insured. "The painting's bottom right is damaged," Sun told reporters. "The boy's hand made contact with the artwork and left a hole the size of a fist." A post on the exhibition's Facebook page thanked restoration specialist Tsai Shun-jen for helping to quickly restore the 350-year-old painting. The post included photos of the experts working to repair the canvas. --- ...That would be something my grandson would do :) *-- Yellowstone visitor asks for bears to be trained for tourists --* YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - A disappointed visitor to Yellowstone National Park left a note on a feedback form asking rangers to train bears to hang out where they can be seen. The note, shared on Reddit by a person who purported to be a friend of an employee at a Yellowstone lodge, was written on the bottom of a feedback form for trouble with maintenance and housekeeping. The note reads: "Our visit was wonderful but we never saw any bears. Please train your bears to be where guests can see them. This was an expensive trip to not get to see bears." A Redditor commenting on the post said the note reminded them of a quote from a Yellowstone park ranger: "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Bunni :) .-. .-.

It will give you time to settle your brain, gather your thoughts, calm down and finish your week off on a positive note. Potato Chips A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted It and smiled at him. His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word... As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his biggest smile ever... When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was Surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!" Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, "dad, what did you do today That made you so happy?" He replied "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected." Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, An honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to Turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally! Have lunch with God.......bring chips. Send this to people who have touched your life in a special way. Let them know how Important they are. I did!!!! God still sits on the throne. You may be going through a tough time right now but God Is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, 'If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.' In response to Bill's comments, Ford issued a press release stating : If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part): 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash......Twice a day. 2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light. I love the next one!!! 7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. _ /|| . . ||\ _ ( } \||D ' ' ' C||/ { % | /\__,=_[_] ' . .

As he approached the screen door, I noticed he was carrying a check in one hand and two dollars in the other, which I assumed was my tip. To my dismay, he pocketed the bills before handing me the check, which was for the exact cost of the pizza. "Could that have been a tip?" I asked, trying not to sound accusatory.

Crawling along, I picked up splinters in both hands, and I cut one hand replacing the fan belt. On the way down the ladder, I missed the last two rungs and twisted my ankle.
