A dog with poor temperament would try to bite the person, whereas a good dog would lick his owner's face or show concern. Once, while eating pizza in the living room, I decided to try out this theory on my two dogs. I stood up, clutched my heart, let out a scream and collapsed on the floor. The dogs looked at me, glanced at each other and raced to the coffee table for my pizza. -<>- >The Hamper I asked my two-year-old to take his dirty clothes and put them into the hamper. He looked puzzled, and I explained. "You know; it's the place where we put our dirty clothes before they're washed." My son picked up his things, trotted into my bedroom, and dropped his clothes on the floor ... on his father's side of the bed. -<>- >Quite Busy I went shopping with my friend, and I saw a humorous button that said, "It might look like I'm doing nothing, but on a cellular level, I'm quite busy." I showed it to her, and her response was, "Oh, I should buy that one, I'm always talking on mine." -<>- >Security Exit When I worked for the security department of a large retail store, my duties included responding to fire and burglar alarms. A side door of the building was wired with a security alarm, because it was not supposed to be used by customers. Nevertheless they found the convenience of the exit tempting. Even a sign with large red letters, warning "Alarm will sound if opened," failed to deter people from using it. One day, after attending to a number of shrieking alarms, I placed a small handmade sign on the door that totally eliminated the problem: "Wet Paint." -<>- >Suggestion Box Some of my co-workers and I decided to remove the small, wooden suggestion box from our office because it had received so few entries. We stuck the box on top of a seven-foot-high metal storage cabinet and then promptly forgot about it. Months later, when the box was moved during remodelling, we found a single slip of paper inside.

It was wonderfully restored and she fell in love with its gorgeous red paint work. After she got her bonus check at work, she decided to finally get it and few hours later she was tearing down the leafy country road enjoying her beautiful new car. Her long blonde hair was flowing in the wind, music blaring from the radio, what could possibly go wrong? At that thought there was a splutter from the engine and the car slowly coasted to a stop. She got out and lifted the hood and concluded after a few minutes that she didn't have any clue what was wrong. Luckily she had her cell phone with her and made a call to the AAA. After a short wait, she saw a AAA car pull up behind her. "That's a lovely car," said the mechanic. "What seems to be the matter?" Judi replied, "Well, it just broke down I'm afraid." "Let me have look." He set to work and ten minutes later the engine was purring like a cat again. "Thank goodness," she said. "What was the matter?" "Simple really, just crap in the carburetor," he replied. Looking shocked she asked, "Oh. How many times a week do I have to do that?" -------- An old farmer was hauling a load of manure when he was stopped by a state trooper. "You were speeding," the cop said. "I'm going to have to give you a ticket." "Yep," the farmer said as he watched the trooper shoo away several flies. "These flies sure are terrible," the trooper complained. "Yep," the farmer said. "Them are circle flies." "What's a circle fly?" "Them flies that circle a horse's tail," answered the farmer. "Them are circle flies." "You wouldn't be calling me a horse's ass, would you?" the trooper angrily asked. "Nope, I didn't," the farmer replied. "But you just can't fool them flies." -------- A man is at his lawyer's funeral and is surprised by the turnout for this one man. He turns to the people around him. "Why are you all at this man's funeral?" A man turns towards him and says, "We're all clients." "And you ALL came to pay your respects? How touching." "No, we came to make sure he was dead." -------- A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. The next day the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5 am for an early flight to Sydney. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5 am." The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9 am, and that he had missed his flight! Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't awakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. It said, "It's 5 am, wake up." ------- An elderly woman was driving along in her VW Beetle when the motor sputtered. She pulled to the side of the road, got out, and looked under the hood. Several minutes later another woman stopped her car (also a VW Beetle) and asked if she could be of help. The perplexed owner looked from under the hood and said, "it seems as though I don't have a motor." The second woman politely answered, "That's okay, I've got an extra one in the trunk you can have." -------- The patient shook his doctor's hand in gratitude and said: "Since we are the best of friends, I would not want to insult you by offering payment. But I would like for you to know that I had mentioned you in my will." "That is very kind of you," said the doctor emotionally, and then added, "Can I see that prescription I just gave you? I'd like to make a little change..." -------- The drunk was brought into night court, having been picked up on suspicion of being the notorious night prowler. "What were you doing out at 3 A.M.?" the judge sternly queried. "I was going to a lecture." "A lecture at 3 A.M.?" The judge was scornful. "Oh, sure," said the drunk.

Shirley says, "Abe, darling, do you want me to wear this Chanel suit or the Gucci?" Abe asks, "Do I care?" A few minutes later, Shirley asks, "Abe, should I wear my Cartier watch or my Rolex?" Abe says, "Who cares?" A few more minutes pass; Shirley says, "Abe, love, shall I wear my five-carat pear diamond ring or my six-carat round diamond ring with the baguettes?" Abe answers, "Shirley, I really don't care what you wear, but if you don't move your butt, we're going to miss the Early Bird Special at McDonalds!" -------- A six-year-old goes to the hospital with her mother to visit her Grandpa. When they get to the hospital, she runs ahead of her mother and bursts into her Grandpa's room. "Grandpa, Grandpa!" she says excitedly, "as soon as my mother comes into the room, make a noise like a frog!" "What?" said her Grandpa. "Make a noise like a frog, because my mom said that as soon as you croak, we're all going to Disney World! ------- A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea-captain. "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?" "Throw out an anchor, sir." "What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?" "Throw out another anchor, sir." "And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do?" "Throw out another anchor." "Hold on," said the Captain, "where are you getting all your anchors from?" "From the same place you're getting your storms, sir." -------- The elderly husband and wife, both a little hard of hearing, were watching golf on TV. The husband turned to his wife of some 50 years and said, "In my next life, I'm going to be rich and play all those beautiful golf courses with their great bars and dining and dancing areas." The wife quickly responded, "How will you be able to manage all that with your bad legs? You can barely walk!" "I said, '..in my next life ... '" the husband replied. "Oh," she said. I thought you said, ' ... with my next wife ... '" -------- Because I couldn't unplug the toilet with a plunger, I had to dismantle the entire fixture, no small feat for a non-plumber.

It was no better than before! As I pondered what to do next, my son walked into the bathroom. I pointed to the dinosaur I had just dislodged. "Is that yours?" I asked, knowing the answer. "Yeah! He replied excitedly. "Did you get the green one, too?" -------- Showing his friend around his home, Fred started to point out all of the collectibles he and his wife had acquired over their long years of marriage.

"Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager." Once again, the old man just muttered and did nothing. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old disheveled man, but with no success. Finally they summoned the police. The officer surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy what's your name?" "Fred," the old man moaned.

Luther asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year that's different?" "I've decided that this here year, I'm a taking Earlene with me." -<>- >Not feeling well I’m sorry I’ve not been very responsive to your emails of late. I have been somewhat under the weather since my doctors informed me that I have an acute case of PIST-AWF. For those of you, who do not know of PIST-AWF, let me explain. PIST-AWF is a newly defined 6 year old widespread and contagious disease, affecting those of moral character and common sense. During January, 2015 doctors at the CDC released a statement disclosing this new disease that has already infected over half of the United States, and is anticipated to spread to some Western Bloc Countries. The disease itself affects all the cell structures of a person's body and then appears dormant. Although appearing dormant, the disease ravages the body, leaving the tell-tale signs of its attack with visible and very painful signs. These signs have been labeled: "Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic War Fatigue." * Symptoms include: Severe pain of the scalp from pulling at your own hair while viewing the President pandering to Muslim terrorists. Uncontrollable heartburn at 8:00 PM during the O'Reilly factor. Loose bowel movements from swallowing the fact we elected Obama twice. ·Extreme hunger due to acid –reflux and severe vomiting from the nightly viewing of Muslims murdering innocent people. Bleeding from the eyes. This is not linked to Ebola, as it is your eyes reacting to accidentally flipping to a channel that shows Al Sharpton as a legitimate news show host and starting a new chapter in your city area. Since the disease consumes the entire body, the affected people will be identified by the disease’s official designation: PIST-AWF for "Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic War Fatigue." If you feel you are PIST-AWF, please notify your local election commission and place your name on the list for the cure. It is expected the cure will be available in November of 2016 and will be offered by a credible conservative candidate. .-""""""-. .' \\ // '. / O O \ : : | | : __ : \ .-"` `"-. / '. .' jgs '-......-' Yes, I am PIST-AWF. --- ...LOL!

She uses a private email server as Secretary of State putting our country at risk. Who knows if hackers got their intel from her and realized our Benghazi Ambassador was at risk so used it to their advantage killing him and 3 other Americans? Think about it. General Petraeus was sentenced to 2 years probation and a $100K fine simply for sharing classified information with his biographer and lover, Paula Broadwell. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/politics/david-petraeus-sentencing/ Who knows how many got access to our countries classified information from Hillary when she was Secretary of State. This is not a mistake! She knew full well that all her government emails needed to be kept safe on the government's safe and hacker free server not on her own private server. Any fool knows as Secretary of State of the United States of America that your government emails would be at high risk by the world's hackers who want to get at government security secrets. She may have gotten 4 Americans killed and put America at horrible security risk for many attacks! She is not that stupid! She just felt she was above the law and could get away with doing whatever she wanted to without consequences and without caring if she put America in high danger by her own selfish actions. .-""""""-. .' \\ // '. / O O \ : : | | : __ : \ .-"` `"-. / '. .' jgs '-......-' Yes - she makes me very PIST-AWF! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: I was going to do a story about a nearly 800 pound man who was in the hospital to lose enough weight so that he could undergo a gastric bypass surgery. But in 80 days at the hospital he only lost 20 pounds. Doctors were baffled until they discovered the man had been ordering pizzas to be delivered to him IN the hospital. But then I saw another story about one old coot who was having trouble figuring out some of this new fangled 'puter technology. Police in California, were called to a camera store after 80-years-old Frank Prendergast of San Jose brought them a secure digital (SD) memory card and asked for help in recovering some photographs he had saved on there. Employees contacted the police after they were able to unlock the memory card and discovered - surprise, surprise - a cache of child porn! Officers confirmed that the digital photographs were in fact child pornography. When Prendergast returned to retrieve the SD card, he was arrested. He allegedly admitted to possessing more pornographic photos at home. During the search of the elderly man's home, police seized several computers along with hundreds of VHS tapes. Apparently he had saved all of his daguerreotypes to that SD card. *-- Texas girl's nonstop sneezing baffles doctors --* ANGLETON, Texas - The family of a 12-year-old Texas girl who has been sneezing up to 20 times per minute for the past month said doctors are stumped by the condition. Angleton resident Katelyn Thornley,12, said her sneezing fits began about a month ago and she has since been sneezing up to 20 times per minute -- about 12,000 times per day. "I'm constantly in pain with my abdomen, my legs are hurting because I've been weak and I can barely eat," Thornley told KTVT-TV. The girl's parents said they have taken her to six different physicians, who ruled out allergies and viruses as a cause of the nonstop sneezing. They said stress appears to make the condition worse. "Anything you talk to her about that irritates her -- you can see it spike and continuous sneezing," Thornley's father told KRIV-TV. "It's easy to trigger." Thornley said she takes Benadryl to help her sleep at night. "Sometimes I wish I could leave my body for a little while so i could watch myself sleep and be at peace because even in my dreams, I sneeze," she said. *-- Santa Claus campaigning for North Pole City Council --* NORTH POLE, Alaska - The city of North Pole, Alaska, announced the candidates for City Council include a man with the appropriate legal name of Santa Claus. The North Pole Clerk's office said Santa Claus, whose festive moniker is his legal name and is listed on his driver's license, is running a write-in campaign for the North Pole City Council. The office said there is only one other candidate for the office, fellow write-in hopeful La Nae Bellamy. Claus, former president of the North Pole Chamber of Commerce, describes himself as "a child advocate" and "a Christian monk" on his Facebook page. The page makes an important distinction between Claus the aspiring politician and Santa Claus the legend -- "PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME REQUESTS FOR PRESENTS," the Facebook page reads. "The greatest gift one can give is love." The election is scheduled for Tuesday. Santa Claus previously ran a short-lived campaign for president of the United States in 2012. *-- Woman does donuts at intersection, flips car, IDs herself as 'faith, hope and love' --* GASTONIA, N.C. - North Carolina police said a woman drove donuts in an intersection, struck four vehicles, flipped her car and gave her name as "faith, hope and love." Gastonia Police said witnesses reported the woman was driving donuts -- tight circles -- with her car about 4:25 p.m. Thursday in a busy intersection and the motorist temporarily stopped her vehicle when police arrived. An officer asked the woman her name, and she replied, "Faith, hope and love," Gastonia Police Capt. Rodney Aldridge told the Gaston Gazette. The woman backed into the officer's car and struck it two more times before continuing to do donuts in the intersection. Police said the woman struck two civilian cars and a second police cruiser before she drove down a 12-foot embankment, knocked over a fire hydrant and flipped her car onto its roof. Witness Rhonda Helms said police had to pepper spray the woman to take her into custody. She said the woman appeared to be singing, "Jesus loves the little children of the world," as she got out of her car. Police said the woman, whose name was not released, was taken to a hospital for evaluation. *-- Tourists flee as Chinese mountain's glass walkway cracks --* JIAOZUO, China - Tourists on China's recently-opened glass walkway on a cliff face 3,540 feet above the ground ran for their lives when a visitor's mug cracked the glass. The walkway on Yuntai Mountain in Henan Province, which opened to the public in September, is closed for repairs after a tourist dropped a stainless steel mug Monday and the cup's impact cracked one of three layers of glass on a section of walkway, Yuntai Mountain Scenic Spot officials confirmed. Witnesses said on social networking site Weibo the damage was more severe than indicated by officials, who said one layer of glass was merely cracked. Witnesses said a plate of glass had instead shattered in a "floral" pattern, but remained intact. The broken glass sent tourists screaming and running for their lives to get off the walkway, but officials said the tourists were never in any danger during the incident. They said the two remaining layers of glass would have been sufficient to support the weight of the visitors. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Linda :) .-. .-. .--' / \ '--.

The look on my face must have given me away because my five-year-old daughter asked what was wrong. "I'm going to meet a mean woman who always yells at Daddy," I told her. "Oh," she said. "Say hi to Mom." -<>- After the fall in Garden of Eden, Adam was walking with his sons Cain and Abel. As they passed by the ruins of the Garden of Eden, one of the boys asked, "Father, what's that?" Adam replied, "Boys, that's where your mother ate us out of house and home." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Karen :) ( ( ) ) ( ) ( ) ) .---. ) ( .-""-.

How many can you get? 1. There is one word in the English language that is always pronounced incorrectly. What is it? 2. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it? 3. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water. The tide rises at 12 inches every 15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide is at it's highest, how many rungs are under water? 4. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the windows. What color is the bear? 5. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three? 6. There is a room. The shutters are blowing in. There is broken glass on the floor. There is water on the floor. You find Sloppy dead on the floor. How did sloppy die? 7. How much dirt would be in a hole 6 feet deep and 6 feet wide that has been dug with a square edged shovel? 8. If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada? 9. What is the significance of the following: The year is 1978, thirty-four minutes past noon on May 6th. 10. What can go up a chimney down, but can't go down a chimney up? 11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in the center field? 12. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move? 13. Paul is 20 years old in 1980, but only 15 years old in 1985. How is this possible? 14. What has four legs but only one foot? 15. How many of each animal did Moses take on the ark? 16. Kindly old Grandfather Lunn Is twice as old as his son Twenty-five years ago Their age ratio Strange enough was three to one When does Grandfather celebrate his centenary? 17. Said a certain young lady named Gwen Of her tally of smitten young men "one less and three more Divided by four Together give one more than ten" How many boyfriends had she? 18. There was a young fellow named Clive Whose bees number ten power five The daughters to each son Were as nineteen to one, A truly remarkable hive. How many sons (drones) were in the hive? 19. A team's opening batter named Nero Squared his number of hits, the big hero! After subtracting his score He took off ten and two more And the final result was a "zero". How many hits did Nero make: 20. Some freshman from Trinity Hall Played hockey with a wonderful ball; Two times its weight Plus weight squared, minus eight, Gave "nothing" in ounces at all. What was the weight of the ball? 21. The Bar Z ranch was a dude ranch. One day a new "dude" asked one of the stable hands how many men were tending the horses in the corral. Having a mischievous sense of humor, he replied, "I saw eighty-two feet and twenty-six heads". He then walked away, leaving the dude scratching his head trying to figure it out. How many men were tending the horses? 22. One morning as Paul was getting his newspaper, he noticed on his new house something that needed to be fixed. Heading over to the hardware store, he spoke to the manager, describing his problem. The manager said, "I know just what you need". He led Paul down some aisles and stopped in front of some bins. Digging down into some of the bins, he set something up on the shelf. "I saw your house when it was built", the manager said. "Here's all that you'll need and how much it'll cost... five will be 15 cents while fifty will be 30 cents, 250 will be 45 cents, while 2507 will only cost you 60 cents. One lady, about 20 blocks from your house, bought 30247 and only paid 75 cents! These are black, but they also come in gold and silver." What was the manager selling? 23. If it takes 3 people to dig a hole, how many does it take to dig half a hole? 24. What is the beginning of eternity. The end of time and space. The beginning of every end. And the end of every place? . . . . . . The Answers 1. Incorrectly. 2. 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He divided it between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two. 3. None, the boat rises with the tide. Duh. 4. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the north pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear. 5. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders of operation, division is performed before addition. So... half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer is three. 6. Sloppy is a goldfish. The wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it broke, killing him. 7. None. No matter how big a hole is, it's still a hole: the absence of dirt. (And those of you who said 36 cubic feet are wrong for another reason, too. You would have needed the length measurement too. So you don't even know how much air is in the hole.) 8. Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that the water in the 30 degree F bucket is frozen? Think again. The question said nothing about that bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is no water (or ice) to slow the ball down... 9. The time and month/date/year are 12:34, 5/6/78. 10. An umbrella. 11. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big stack. 12. The temperature. 13. The years are in B.C., not A.D. as you probably assumed. Based on the system we use to number the years, the years counted down in B.C. (but they weren't counting backwards back then). 14. A bed. 15. None. Moses didn't take animals on the ark. Noah did. 16. This year. He is 100, and his son is 50. 17. Gwen had forty-two boyfriends. 42-1=41. 41+3=44. 44/4=11. 11-1=10. 18. Five Thousand. Ten power five = 100,000. Divide that out (it was a 19:1 ratio) and you get a ratio of 95,000:5,000 (daughters:sons). 19. Four. If you square it, you get 16. Subtract his number of hits and you get 12. Subtract 10 and then 2 more and you get 0. 20. Two ounces. (Beach ball, or ping-pong ball?) 2x2=4. 4+2^2=8. 8-8=0. 21. Eleven men (and 15 horses). 11 (men) x 2 (feet per man)=22, 15 (horses) x 4 (feet per horse)=60, and 22 (men's feet) + 60 (horse's feet) = 82 feet. Also, 11 (men) + 15 (horses) = 26 (total heads). 22. House numbers. Each digit costs 15 cents. 23. It's impossible to dig a half of a hole. Either you have a hole, or you don't. 24. The letter E.

There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She Wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started To climb the big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted Owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and Got many splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to A local ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, A democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the Splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her To go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a "recreational area" so close to a waste treatment facility.

Yes, unfortunately most of these kids that crossed our borders never showed up for deportation so they are here to stay and it is our tax dollars that must help them integrate into the US society with food, shelter, clothing, health aide and education. It is sad that we Ameican's cannot simply invite all the world's poor people to come here and get free stuff. There is not enough riches in the entire world to do that - even though for some reason Democrats think we should. I think they want our economy to collapse trying to do so. Venezuela is a prime example of socialism politics going wrong for the people. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/10/opinions/ghitis-venezuela-woes/ -<>- >From Our Friend Melinda :) She sent us one we have here...
