The man said that he had indeed lost the bird, but wanted to know how the caller located him. The called said that the bird had landed on his balcony and kept repeating, "Hi, you have reached 555-1234. I can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message at the tone." -<>- Officers at a military installation were being lectured about a new computer. The training officer said the computer was able to withstand nuclear and chemical attacks. Suddenly, he saw that one of the officers had a cup of coffee and yelled, "There will be no eating or drinking in this room! You'll have to get rid of that coffee." The officer said meekly, "Sure, but why?" "Because a coffee spill could ruin the keyboard." ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ July 17 is Global Hug Your Kids Day, Peach Ice Cream Day, World Emoji Day and Yellow Pig Day July 18 is National Caviar Day - something's fishy here July 19 is National Daiquiri Day, National Raspberry Cake Day, July 20 is National Ice Cream Soda Day, National Lollipop Day, Moon Day and Ugly Truck Day July 21 is National Junk Food Day July 22 is Hammock Day and Ratcatcher's Day July 23 is National Hot Dog Day, Parent's Day and Vanilla Ice Cream Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: ___________ @ @ / (@\ @ \___________/ _@ @ _/@ \_____ @/ \__/-="="` \_ / <| <| jgs <| ` >Locked Keys in Car First I had to work late. Then I discovered that I'd locked my keys in the car. But the last straw was learning that roadside service couldn't get a locksmith to me for at least two hours. Finally the guy showed, looking tired and annoyed. As he struggled with my door, I joked, "Do those Slim Jim tools come in purse-size?" "Yeah," he muttered. "They're called keys." -<>- >Lunch Box A bricklayer at a construction job routinely complained about the contents of his lunch box. "I'm sick and tired of getting the same old thing!" he shouted one day. "Tonight I'll set my wife straight." The next day the men could hardly wait until lunchtime to hear what happened. "You bet I told her off," the bricklayer boasted. "I said, 'No more of the same old stuff. Be creative!' We had one heck of a fight, but I got my point across." He had indeed. In front of an admiring audience, he opened his lunch box to find that his wife had packed a coconut - and a hammer. -<>- >Too Helpful Working for a judge in a common pleas court, I saw many criminal defendants. One man facing drug charges proved unusually helpful. To determine the exact quantity of the illegal substance allegedly sold, the judge asked the prosecutor how many grams there are in an ounce. As both attorneys checked their notes, the defendant, who had not yet entered his plea, proudly announced, "There are 28.3 grams in an ounce, your honor." His attorney advised him to plead guilty. -<>- >Warning Signs While vacationing in Alaska, I couldn't help but notice all the warnings about bears posted in campgrounds, visitors' centers, and rest areas advising people not to feed the bears, how to avoid bears, what to do if a bear sees you, what to do if a bear attacks, and so on. My favorite, however, was a hand-lettered sign on the door of a small gas station in a remote area. It said: "Warning! If you are being chased by a bear, don't come in here!" -<>- >Telling Time I was teaching my Grade 1 class to tell time using a conventional-style analog clock. "We'll be learning about the hour hand and the minute hand," I explained. One of the students interrupted and said, "I don't need to learn on that kind of clock. My dad bought me this digital watch, and right now it's ten minutes to 38." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseA :) Norm, How many b'ger do you need to change a lightbulb? \ Get lost Ralf. \ \ \ `, ___ # /_,/\ |/ ? /" ( | , )\ .Y___ / /__/\ \____ \(__ ,- / \_/ \ / (\ |/| / < _____ _> \ |. ||\ -|.|--/___/ ,___/___\------'-----' '-' |\/ b'ger >SMILES "Well, ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." ---------- A girl came skipping home from grade-school one day. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8, 9, 10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde." The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled. "We were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C,D, E, F,G!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde." The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, mommy?" "No, honey, it's because you're 25." ---------- A young man was driving along a country road on the way to see his girl. As he passed a field the idea struck him to stop and pick a bouquet of flowers. He had barely begun romping through the field when he became aware of a rather mean looking bull not far away, with head lowered and an evil look in his eye. Far away, leaning comfortably on the prudent side of the fence, stood a farmer taking in the situation. The young man called out to him, "Hey, mister! Is that bull safe!" To which the farmer shouted back, "Safe as anything! Can't say the same about you, though!" ---------- At the outpatient surgery center where I work, the anesthesiologist often chatted with patients before their operations to help them relax. One day he thought he recognized a woman as a co-worker at the VA hospital where he had trained. When the patient confirmed that his hunch was correct, he said, "So, tell me, is the food still as bad there as it used to be?" "Well, I suppose," she replied, "I'm still cooking it." ---------- A veterinarian was feeling ill and went to see his doctor. The doctor asked him all the usual questions, about symptoms, how long had they been occurring, etc., when the veterinarian interrupted him, saying, "Hey look, I'm a vet - I don't need to ask my patients these kind of questions. I can tell what's wrong just by looking. Why can't you?" The doctor nodded, looked him up and down, wrote out a prescription, and handed it to him and said, "There you are. Of course, if *that* doesn't work, we'll have to have you put down." ---------- DAD: "Son don't you know what happens to you when you break one of the Ten Commandments?" SON: "Sure. You have nine left." ---------- My boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read: "I'm the Boss!" He then taped it to his office door. Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said: "Your wife called, she wants her sign back!" ---------- It was mealtime during our trip on a small airline in the South. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked the man seated in front of me. "What are my choices?" he asked. "Yes or no," she replied. ---------- My husband's skills with do-it-yourself home repairs are at best mediocre. After spending several evenings trying to fix a leak in the bathroom, he finally admitted defeat and called a plumber, who finished the job in ten minutes. Watching him put away his equipment, my son asked what had been the problem. "Well," the plumber replied, "your father got hold of some tools. . . ." ---------- Vito and Juliana were having their usual battle of men vs women. "Italian men are all stupid," screamed Juliana. "Oh, yeah?" yelled her husband. "I'll have you know it was an Italian man who invented the toilet seat!" "And I'll have you know," said his wife, "it was an Italian woman who thought of putting a hole in it!" ---------- Morris had just had coronary artery bypass surgery a month ago and now is at the doctor's office for his final follow up visit. Of course Morris wants to know when he can start making love again. The doctor explains to Morris that he would be able to resume his normal life as soon as he could climb two flights of stairs without becoming winded. Morris listens attentively and then says, "What if I look for women who live on the ground floor?" --- ...LOL!

Many years ago, I married a widow out of love who had an 18 year old daughter. After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a number of times, and he fell in love with my step daughter. My father eventually married her without my authorization. As a result my step-daughter became my step mother and my father became my son in law. My father's wife (also my step daughter) and my step-mother, gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband of my step daughter's mother. This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father. As you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the mother of my father's wife. Therefore it appears that I am also my wife's grandchild. A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who became my father's brother-in-law, the step-son of my father's wife, and my uncle. My son is also my step mother’s brother, and through my step- mother, my wife has become a grandmother and I have become my own grandfather. In light of the above mentioned, I would like to know the following: Does my son, who is also my uncle, my father's son-in-law and my step mother's brother fulfill the requirements for receiving childcare benefits? Sincerely yours, Mohammed THE ANSWER: Of course you qualify Mohammed! I have arranged to start mailing the checks to all of you just as soon as you arrive here in California.

Where has common sense and logic thinking gone? -<>- >From BizarreNews: A Texas police officer responded to an unusual plea for help when a Good Samaritan called 911 to report someone slipped a note through the receipt slot of an ATM, saying they were trapped inside. The incident happened at a Bank of America branch in Corpus Christi. Officer Richard OIden arrived at the scene after the repair- man had pushed out handwritten notes that read: "Please help. I'm stuck in here, and I don't have my phone. Please call my boss." At first, Olden said he thought someone was playing a prank. Then he heard a faint voice coming from behind the machine and realized someone was actually inside. The repairman, who was not identified, had gone inside the room housing the ATM to fix a broken lock on the door. Unfortunately, the lock got the better of the worker and he'd left his cellphone in his truck, rendering him helpless. The man had apparently put several notes through the machine, though previous customers either didn't notice them or thought they were a joke. When police realized what had happened, they kicked open the door to the security room, freeing the man inside. -<>- It's not easy being a cop... If you want to commit suicide but don't quite have the guts to follow through with it, apparently one quick way to help get the job done is to call the police. Like last year when a Florida woman called the police because her boyfriend was drunk and lying in bed playing with a knife. Two SWAT officers showed up with assault rifles and promptly shot him dead. Did I mention he was lying in bed? But never let it be said that the police don't have a sense of proportion about these things. Like this story of a disturbed man in Texas. Police were called when two women observed a mentally ill man who had doused himself in gasoline and appeared to be getting ready to set himself on fire. Officers arrived, got the women out of the home and began talking to the man. While officers tried to calm him down, a police spokeswoman said, he poured more gasoline on him- self and was believed to be holding a lighter in one hand. Perhaps not wanting to waste all that expensive fuel, the officers decided the best way to subdue him was to deploy a taser. The spark from the weapon set the man off like a torch. The spokeswoman acknowledged the risk of using an electrical stun gun near gasoline, but said the man was "very frantic and erratic and became a danger to everyone in the room." That being namely himself, seeing as how the police had already cleared everyone else out. On the plus side, the man did not die. Officers wrapped him in a blanket to put out the fire and got the man outside the home. He was later taken to a hospital. The officers were also taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. *------------- Birds of a Feather -------------* A drunk driver in Louisiana was arrested while attempting to bail out her friend who had earlier been arrested for drunk driving. Slidell Police Department said officers pulled over a "car full of drunks" on Saturday night and arrested the driver, who was charged with a DWI. About an hour after police secured the offending vehicle in the parking lot and the passengers took a cab ride home, the woman decided to return to the scene to pick up the vehicle and get her friend out of jail. "She then drives drunk to the Slidell Police Department in order to bail out her friend. Instead of bailing out her friend, she's was able to join him inside the jail," police said. Upon arriving at the police department, the woman was arrested for drunk driving and police hoped she learned a valuable lesson. "Lesson of the day...don't drive drunk to a police station in order to bail out your drunk friend!" police said. *------- When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go -------* Police are looking to arrest a man who urinated on a woman while riding on a train, according to police in New York. The New York Police Department said that the suspect took advantage of the 26-year-old victim who was listening to music with her eyes shut while traveling in the Manhattan bound J train. The incident unfolded shortly after the train left the 75th Street Elderts Lane station. The 26- year-old woman decided to relax and listen to music. She closed her eyes for a few minutes, until she felt something hitting her face. When she opened her eyes, the woman saw the man standing next to her and urinating on her face. The suspect then fled at the Cypress Hills station in Brooklyn. *------- Snake Knocks Out Power to 4,790 -------* A snake that slithered into the wrong section of a South Carolina electrical substation was blamed for knocking out power to nearly 4,800 homes, utility officials said. Duke Energy spokesman Ryan Mosier released a photo showing a snake dangling from equipment at the Brushy Creek substation Wednesday after knocking out power to 4,790 customers in Greenville County. "It's not uncommon, especially this time of year, to see something like this happen," Mosier said. Duke Energy spokeswoman Meghan Musgrave Miles said snakes are blamed for about 100 power outages each year in the six states where the utility operates. She said the company is taking steps to prevent future incidents, including retro- fitting 400,000 transformers with specially designed electric fences to keep snakes and other animals away. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Bunni :) .. |\\ .====^^\\==. |\ || |\ kya :X"====^^====' \|XXXXXXXXXX| """"""""""" >Picnic My brother, Tony, agreed to take his young nephews to a neighborhood Picnic.

This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine. Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my husband purchased a week of personal training at the local health club.Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress. ______________________________ MONDAY: Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god - with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring! Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!! ______________________________ TUESDAY: I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me. ______________________________ WEDNESDAY: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot. Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members.. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying. My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other crap too. ______________________________ THURSDAY: B-hole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late-- it took me that long to tie my shoes. He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny witch to find me. Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine - which I sank. ______________________________ FRIDAY: I hate that jerk Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it. Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the darn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director? ______________________________ SATURDAY: Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.. ______________________________ SUNDAY: I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun - like a root canal or a hysterectomy.

The first spaceman says, "The dominant life forms on the earth planet have developed satellite-based weapons." The second alien, who looks exactly like the first, asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?" The first spaceman says, "I don't think so...They have them aimed at themselves." -<>- A guest at dinner noticed the small family dog looking hungrily at every bite she took. Finally she took a small piece of meat from her plate and held it up for him. "Speak!" she said to the dog. The dog answered, "Under the circumstances, I hardly know what to say!" -<>- We were thoroughly confused. While transcribing medical audiotapes, my co-worker came upon the following garbled diagnosis: "This man has pholenfrometry." Knowing nothing about that particular condition, she double-checked with the doctor. After listening to the tape, he shook his head. "This man," he said, translating for her, "has fallen from a tree." -<>- I knew I had been in the military too long when my five-year- old daughter sang her version of "Silent Night." It went like this: "Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright, Round yon virgin mother and child, Holy infantry, tender and mild..." -<>- A few years ago we were desperately trying to sell our house, which was situated on a busy thoroughfare. Our real estate agent decided to have open-house inspection nearly every day to promote the sale. We instructed the children not to talk to anyone about the house. One evening a man took our seven-year-old daughter aside and asked if our house had any secrets he should know. Her first reaction was to smile and ignore his question. But he became more persistent and, finally, she confessed there was one secret but she could not tell it to him. "Now we're getting somewhere," he said. "Tell me the secret. I promise I won't tell anyone." She looked him straight in the eye and whispered, "We have monsters in our sewer." -<>- In the office where I work, there is a constant battle between our technical-support director and customer-service personnel over the room temperature, which is usually too low. The frustrated director, trying to get us to understand his position, announced one afternoon, "We need to keep the temperature below seventy-five degrees or the computers will overheat." Thinking that this was just another excuse, one of my shivering colleagues retorted, "Yeah right. So how did they keep the computers from overheating before there was air conditioning?" ========================================================= >-->From TheMouth: .-. /6 6\ | > | ,w /| `=' |\/ _m/__XXXXX_______ ______X_X________] -__ /--/ _ _-__| _- `-_` __-- - | -_ __ --- - _- --| _ejm97___________| >My Mother Said...

MICHELANGELO'S MOTHER: "Mike, can't you paint on walls like other children? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that stuff off the ceiling?" ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S MOTHER: "Again with the stovepipe hat, Abe? Can't you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?" BARNEY'S MOTHER: "I realize strained plums are your favorite, Barney, but you're starting to look a little purple." GOLDILOCKS' MOTHER: "I've got a bill here for a busted chair from the Bear family. You know anything about this, Goldie?" LITTLE MISS MUFFET'S MOTHER: "Well, all I've got to say is if you don't get off your tuffet and start cleaning your room, there'll be a lot more spiders around here!" ALBERT EINSTEIN'S MOTHER: "But, Albert, it's your senior picture. Can't you do something about your hair? Styling gel, mousse, something...?" SUPERMAN'S MOTHER: "Clark, your father and I have discussed it, and we've decided you can have your own telephone line. Now will you quit spending so much time in all those phone booths?"

I could have sworn I heard the can opener. 2. Is there something I'm not getting when humans make noise with their mouths? 3. Why doesn't the government do something about dogs? 4. I wonder if Morris really liked 9-Lives, or did he have ulterior motives? 5. Hmmm ... If dogs serve humans, and humans serve cats, why can't we cats ever get these stupid dogs to do anything for us? 6. This looks like a good spot for a nap. 7. Hey -- no kidding, I'm sure that's the can opener. 8. Would humans have built a vast and complex civilization of their own if we cats hadn't given them a reason to invent sofas and can openers in the first place? 9. If there's a God, how can He allow neutering? 10. If that really was the can opener, I'll play finicky just to let them know who's boss. -<>- ,--, ,'````', / \ .`',.' `..'``', ; = ; ,' `',| | ; .--. . | = = ,'``', ,.., ,.., ', /= =\ '` | = | ,.'

CNN’s Jim Acosta Responds To Trump’s ‘#Fake News is DISTORTING DEMOCRACY’ Claim – Gets ROASTED http://tinyurl.com/y85mdy2c The problem with the 'fake news' is that all these lies do is make it more difficult to discern the truth from lies - like smoke and mirrors - what the deceiver and father of all lies loves doing to us. The devil plays the best game of delusion. The best way for us to overcome the devil's lies and not be fooled by him is to do as the bible says ... Eph.4: [27] Neither give place to the devil. Simply means to not to go there - don't give him and his lies or his works of hate any attention so that you are not deceived and led into his world of falsehoods. Many of us get it and simply don't watch them or any of the others. -<>- Revisiting...

The good ones slept better... while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more." -Woody Allen "Angelina Jolie decided to name her new son Knox because it ends in the letter x just like her other sons Maddox and Pax. Jolie better not have any more sons because the only two names left are Xerox and Ex-Lax." -Conan O'Brien "According to a new study, ladies and gentlemen, you can improve your memory by watching less TV, doing crossword puzzles, eating more fish – I can't remember all that." --Dave Letterman "A German airline is offering nude flights.
