"Good grief!" he screamed, "one of the engines just blew up!" Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side. The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain order. Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor made most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attached the package to their backs. "Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those parachutes?" The pilot said they were. The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry about?" "There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're going to get help." -<>- \\\\ c oo | .U __=__ ,,, |. __|___ oo ; ||_/ / / U= _ 0 \_/__/__E o /. .| | (___ || |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'----'~| I---||| |-----------------------| I ||| | c(__) | ^ '--'' ^ ^ Petrus >A Code Of Ethical Behavior For Patients 1. Do not expect your doctor to share your discomfort. Involvement with the patient's suffering might cause him to lose valuable scientific objectivity. 2. Be cheerful at all times. Your doctor leads a busy and trying life and requires all the gentleness and reassurance he can get. 3. Try to suffer from the disease for which you are being treated. Remember that your doctor has a professional reputation to uphold. 4. Do not complain if the treatment fails to bring relief. You must believe that your doctor has achieved a deep insight into the true nature of your illness, which transcends any mere permanent disability you may have experienced. 5. Never ask your doctor to explain what he is doing or why he is doing it. It is presumptuous to assume that such profound matters could be explained in terms that you would understand. 6. Pay your medical bills promptly and willingly. You should consider it a privilege to contribute, however modestly, to the well-being of physicians, health care managers and other humanitarians. 7. Do not suffer from ailments not covered by your health care plan. It is a waste of resources to contract illnesses that are beyond your means. 8. Never reveal any of the shortcomings that have come to light in the course of treatment by your doctor. The patient-doctor relationship is a privileged one and you have a sacred duty to protect him from exposure. 9. Never die while in your doctor's presence or under his direct care. This will only cause him needless inconvenience and embarrassment. -<>- .----------. / .-. .-. \ / | | | | \ \ `-' `-' _/ /\ .--. / | \ | / / / / / | `--' /\ \ /`-------' \ \ Jym Dyer >How To Put More STRESS Into Your Life! 1. Refuse to take action on nagging problems. Procrastinate, brood, and if possible, lose some sleep over them. 2. Make a concerted effort to take note of irritations in your life and blow them out of proportion. 3. Consider the power of negative thinking. 4. Hide your sense of humor. Erase the words smile, joke, and laugh from your vocabulary; concentrate on frowning and being angry. 5. If you've been working a 60 hour week, try 65 or 70 or 75! Spending more time at work will give you less time to consider how stressed you are. 6. Consume vast quantities of caffeine. As a stimulant it will ensure that you are awake day and night. 7. Practice the art of "hurry up and wait". This means dashing off to join a line-up somewhere - like the bank, cinema, or ticket outlet. 8. Make sure you drive no further than two feet from the car in front. 9. To relieve boredom while waiting for traffic lights, pretend you are on the starting grid for the Indy 500. 10. Never read a book or listen to music. 11. Play "Hide and Seek" by concealing important documents from yourself. 12. Delegate nagging problems. You've proved that you can't deal with them. 13. Tell yourself that your abilities are unlimited. Do not waver from this conviction until you are fired for lack of competence. 14. Giggle nervously. It will make other people nervous, meetings will be unproductive and you won't come away with a long list of things to do. 15. Find a disagreeable tennis partner. Perhaps your spouse. 16. When feeling stressful, breathe deeply and hyperventilate until you pass out. 17. Take up gardening. Nothing can be more stressful if you don't like it. 18. When things are going badly, knock your head against the wall. The resulting headache will supersede the original problem. ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ June 21 is Go Skateboarding Day, International Yoga Day, National Sea Shell Day and National Selfie Day June 22 is National Chocolate Eclair Day, National Columnists Day, National Onion Ring Day and World Rainforest Day June 23 is International Widows Day, Let it Go Day and National Pink Day June 24 is International Fairy (or Faery) Day, National Handshake Day and Swim a Lap Day June 25 is Log Cabin Day, National Catfish Day, National Food Truck Day and Take Your Dog to Work Day June 26 is Beautician's Day, Forgiveness Day and National Canoe Day June 27 is National Onion Day and Sun Glasses Day ======================================================= >-->From Mikey'sFunnies: __ __ / '. .' \ | |`\ \ / /`| | \.--' '-' '--./ .' .-'"'"'-.

"Listen here," the motorist grumbled to the garage owner. "When I purchased that battery, you told me it would be the LAST one my car would ever need. It has died after only six months!" "I'm sorry, sir," apologized the owner. "I didn't think your car would last longer than that." -------- Two blondes realize that their apartment is on fire. They go out onto the balcony. "Help, help!" yells one of the blondes. "Help us, help us!" yells the other. "Maybe it would help if we yelled together," suggested the first. "Good idea," replied the other. They both started yelling, "Together! Together!" -------- An old rabbi is talking with one of his friends and says with a warm smile, "I gladdened seven hearts today." "Seven hearts?" asks the friend. "How did you do that?" The rabbi strokes his beard and replies, "I performed three marriages." The friend looks at him quizzically. "Seven?" he asks. "I could understand six, but..." "What do you think," says the rabbi, "that I do this for free?" -------- Every year John went to the Doctor for an annual exam. This year was no different. After the Doctor examined John, he told him "You are in excellent health and I will see you again next year". John left the office and as he was walking back to his car he collapsed, apparently unconscious. As the next patient was going to the Doctor's office she noticed a collapsed man laying face down on the sidewalk facing the street. She reported to the nurse what she saw. The nurse ran out and saw it was John whom the doctor had just given a good bill of health. Immediately the nurse checked his pulse and found none. She ran back to the office and reported this incident to the Doctor and said "What should I do"? The Doctor said "Which way is he facing"? The nurse replied, "He is facing leaving the office". The Doctor replied "Turn him around so he is facing coming into the office". -------- A man complains to a friend, "I can't take it anymore." "What's wrong?" his concerned friend asks. "It's my wife. Every time we have an argument, she gets historical!" "You mean hysterical," his friend said, chuckling. "No, I mean HISTORICAL," the man insists. "Every argument we have, she'll go "I still remember that time when you ...." -------- A woman who plays cards one night a month with a group of friends was concerned that she always woke up her husband when she came home around 11:30. One night she decided to try not to rouse him. She undressed in the living room and, purse over arm, tiptoed nude into the bedroom - only to find her husband sitting up in bed reading. "Darnit woman!" he exclaimed. "Did you lose everything?" -------- One evening just as the children were getting ready for bed Tim's mother heard him screaming at the top of his lungs. She quickly ran into his bedroom and found his two-year-old sister pulling his hair. She gently pulled his hair from the little girl's grip and said comfortingly to Tim, There, there. She didn't mean it. She doesn't understand that hurts. She was barely out of the room when the little girl screamed. Rushing back in, she said, What happened? Tim looked at his mom and said, She knows now! -------- After a hectic and exciting day, my three-year-old niece, Karen, resisted all attempts by her parents to get her to go to bed. Finally my father-in-law, a Presbyterian minister, suggested that knew he could possibly get his granddaughter to go to sleep. Very soon he re-appeared to announce that Karen was now fast asleep. "How did you do it?" we all asked in amazement. "I began reciting one of my sermons to her," he replied with a sheepish grin. -------- A motorist was driving down the highway and all of a sudden he hit a sparrow. He pulled over, picked up the poor sparrow, who was still alive, but unconscious. He decided to take him home. When the motorist got home, he put the sparrow in a cage, leaving him some bread and water inside. When the sparrow came to, he looked around and remarked: "Bars, bread, water... Oh no! I must've killed the motorist!" -------- A millionaire informs his attorney, "I want a stipulation in my will that my wife is to inherit everything, but ONLY if she remarries within six months of my death." "Why such an odd stipulation?" asks the attorney. "Because," he answers, "I want someone to be sorry I died." -------- A husband and wife are approaching their 76th birthdays, and for the most part, they feel fine. A few weeks ago they had just gotten into bed when he noticed his wife taking an extra amount of time, smoothing out her nightgown, then pulling up the covers and smoothing them out, and then finally going to work smoothing out her pillow. After watching all this activity for a while, he finally asked, "What are you doing?" "Well," she replied, "I don't like to sleep on wrinkles." "Ha!" he replied.

It features shower habits that you need to ditch, so get ready to turn down the water temperature and drop the shampoo. Believe it or not, some of the things you do every day while taking a shower could be affecting you in ways you never thought of. Let's start off with reusing dirty towels. The logic seems solid: if you only use your towel when your body is clean, how could your towel possibly be dirty? This is not the case, though. It's ok to use your towel two to three times before you finally give it a wash, but this is only if you hang it up to air dry after every use. Just like your loofah, dead skin cells can clean to your towel, and there's a huge risk for bacterial growth. Using the same towel for a week or more at a time could mean putting yourself at risk for bacterial skin infections - plus, they will eventually start to smell bad. --- ...That's a duh - we don't reuse our bath towels - the dead skin cells alone is enough for us to throw them in the wash! Who wants to towel off with yesterdays dead skin cells? Argh! ___________ .;---------./| // S O A P // | |'---------'| / jgs | | / '-----------'` * Washing Your Face Without a doubt, its easier and less messy to wash your face when you're already in the shower. However, despite the convenience, it's actually not good for your face. The water that you shower in will typically be much hotter than what youd wash with at the sink, and the high temperature can make your skin dry out very quickly. Those with skin conditions such as acne may find that washing their face with hot water can cause excessive redness and irritationit could even burst a blood vessel in your face if you wash too aggressively. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid washing your face in the shower, particularly if you have acne-prone skin. --- ...Noxzema is how best to wash ones face - its the medicated cleansing cream that is safe for every day use and helps heal and prevent acne. _ ( \nnnn / / (` \ / `-. \/ `, ) `` BP * Not Washing Your Feet You might be thinking that your feet make contact with plenty of later while you're in the shower, so there's no real reason to actually bend down and give them a proper wash. You'd be wrong, though. Even if you're not prone to smelly feet, think about how sweaty your feet can get throughout the day. Not only that, but if you're known to walk around the house or outdoors without socks or shoes, you never know what you might be picking up along the way. There's no excuse for just letting the soap suds run down to your toes anymore, imagine what you're bringing into your bed every night without giving those feet a good wash. -<>- , /), (( -.((_)) _,) ,\`.'_ _`-',' `.> <> <> (,- ,', | `._,) (( ) |, (`--' `'( ) _--_,-.\ SSt /,' \( ) `' (( `\ Running the A/C accounts for up to 70% of the utility bill during the summer months. Today I'm featuring easy ways to cut the costs and beat the heat at the same time. * Save 10% on utilities with window film You west-facing windows get the hot afternoon sun, but you can cover them with an SPF film that can lower your home's internal temperature significantly. SPF film adheres right to the window panes, and since they are clear it won't block your view, but will keep out UV rays and infrared heat. Adding these will lower the temperature in your home by 15 degrees or more and saving you 10% on cooling costs. * Conserve energy by optimizing fans Fans can make you and a room feel up to 10 degrees cooler. While the average central air conditioner uses about 3,500 watts, a floor fan uses only 15 - 19 watts - that's just 3% of the energy of central air. Also smart: consider placing a stand-alone fan near an A/C vent to boost its range by 25%. -<>- ____ ___ | _ \ ___ _ _.' _ `. _ | [_) )' _ `._ _ ___ ! \ | | (_) | _ |:;.| _ <| (_) | \ | |' _ `| \| | _ | .:;| | `.[_) ) _ | \| | (_) | | | | |.',..| ':. `. /| | | | | _ | |\ | | |.' :;::' !::, `-!_| | | |\ | | | | | \ !_!.'

The peels also contain natural wax which helps keep everything from wood furniture to leather jackets sealed and supple. Just rub the inside of the peel on the surface you're cleaning, then gently buff it using a soft cloth. * Get steel gleaming with cucumber skins If your stainless steel appliances, faucets and cutlery are looking spotty or discolored, a cucumber peel can help. It contains mildly alkaline potassium, which helps draw out dirt and tannins that tarnish steel surfaces. The peel also removes fingerprint marks for a glossy shine, and it leaves your kitchen smelling fresh. * Rust-proof pots and pans with potato scraps Potatoes are the natural enemy of rust because they contain oxalic acid, the active ingredient in store-bought rust cleaners. Just give knives, baking pans and cast-iron cookware a good rub with potato peels to take the rust right off. If the rust is stubborn, add a little salt to make the peel more abrasive. * Clean your disposal with orange rinds The oils in oranges deodorize even the smelliest garbage disposal. Just toss in a few rinds, then run the disposal. Their juice and oils will eliminate germs and leave a fresh, fruity scent. For really rough odors, drop a few peels in an ice cube tray filled with water, then grind the cubes in the disposal. The ice will scrape the surfaces inside the disposal and help the peels do their job. * Shine windows with a lemon squeeze Lemon peels make an unbeatable glass cleaner.

In his own Biblical Jonah and the whale story, Michael Packard said it happened in a flash as he swam in about 45 feet of water one moment before everything turned dark in an instant. Packard said he initially thought he was attacked by a shark but realized he didn't feel like he was bitten and wasn't in any pain. That's when he realized he was actually inside the mouth of a whale and fought to locate his breathing regulator fearing he could run out of air and suffocate. But the whale had other plans. "A humpback whale tried to eat me," Packard said. "I was in his closed mouth for about 30 to 40 seconds before he rose to the surface and spit me out. I am very bruised up but have no broken bones." Packard said for those frantic moments, all he could think about was his two young boys and possibly dying inside the whale before the mammal rejected him as a meal. "I could sense I was moving," he told local news. "I could feel the whale squeezing with the muscles in his mouth." Doctors released Packard from Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, battered, but no broken bones and one heck of a fish story to tell. -<>- A Nebraska man set a new world record by completing 60 skydiving jumps in 24 hours while dressed in nothing but his safety equipment. Rian Kanouff of Omaha said he contacted Guinness World Records about setting the record for most naked skydiving jumps in 24 hours, and the group said he could create the new record category if he performed at least 25 jumps in the time period. Kanouff said its an informal tradition for skydivers to perform their 100th jump in the nude, and he came up with the idea to set the naked skydiving world record as a fundraiser for a mental health charity after the recent death of a friend. "My friend that we lost to mental health issues was about [that] close to his 100th jump," Kanouff told local news. "Close enough that he talked about it all the time, and he didn't get to make it. So I am out here for him and a lot of other people that we lost." Kanouff ended his attempt with 60 completed naked jumps over Weeping Water, Neb. His attempt raised money for the Movember Foundation, a charity dedicated to men's mental health and suicide prevention. *--- Firefighters rescue teen trapped in chimney ---* Firefighters in Nevada conducted an unusual rescue when a teenager who found herself locked out of her home tried to climb down through the chimney and became stuck. The Henderson Fire Department said in a Facebook post that the 18-year-old found herself locked out of her single-story home and attempted to climb in through the chimney. The girl "got stuck just above the flue," the department said. The firefighters used a rope system to pull the teenager to safety in a rescue that took about 30 minutes. The department said she was not injured. *--- Lightning strike destroys car, spares driver ---* A lightning strike on a car traversing a Florida highway caused damage to the vehicle and the road -- but not the driver. The Florida Highway Patrol said lightning struck a Nissan Rogue traveling westbound on Interstate 75 in Broward County. The lightning strike about 11:20 a.m. caused damage to the vehicle's antenna and electrical system. The strike also left a 7-foot-long, 4-inch-wide gouge in the road, FHP said. The driver of the car, a 48-year-old Naples man, was not injured in the strike. The car was towed from the scene and highway crews were alerted to the damage to the pavement. --- ...Here's some Car-Lightening Weather Safety Tips... https://weather.thefuntimesguide.com/car-lightning/ *--- Man head-butts bus over fare ---* Police are working to identify a Florida man who apparently knocked himself out for a few seconds by head-butting a bus out of anger over a $2 fare. The Winter Haven Police Department, which posted video of the incident to its Facebook page, said the man got off the bus about 11:35 a.m. when it arrived at its stop. Police said the man told the driver he wanted to go to another location, and he became "extremely agitated" when the driver told him it would be an additional $2 fare to travel to the other location. The driver locked the bus and went inside the enclosed part of the bus terminal, leaving the passenger sitting alone on a bench. The man walked away, but returned to the still- locked bus four minutes later. The video shows the man get a running start before head-butting the door of the bus, shattering a glass window. The man falls to the ground and appears to be knocked out for a few seconds before collecting himself and running away. "File this under what NOT to do when you get mad regarding bus fare -- ouch," police wrote on Facebook. --- ...I found this here - just for you!... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y0XT2wJU_Y *--- How's this for a nightmare scenario ---* Residents of a rural region of Victoria, Australia, found their towns blanketed in cobwebs resulting from spiders fleeing from flood conditions. Photos and videos captured in multiple towns in the Gippsland region show fields, homes and trees covered in blankets of spider silk. "This is a surprisingly common phenomenon after floods," Professor Dieter Hochuli, an ecologist from the University of Sydney, said. "When we get these types of very heavy rains and flooding, these animals who spend their lives cryptically on the ground can't live there anymore, and move to the higher ground." The webs resulted from a phenomenon known as "ballooning," which involves spiders using strands of silk to ride on gusts of wind. "Simultaneous ballooning by thousands of spiderlings can result in a remarkable carpet of silk, called gossamer, covering shrubs or fields," the Australian Museum's website states. --- ...Well, this report certainly doesn't do it justice!...

The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost was $6,500. And, of course, I made a donation to the church -- that was $500, and I spent another $500 for the wake, food and drinks -- you know.
