He was a long way out, so the situation looked pretty grim. Then the horse grabbed the man's belt in his teeth and dragged him to the shade of a nearby tree. He made the man as comfortable as he could and then galloped off to get help. The man was discussing the incident a few weeks later. His friend was very impressed and said, "That is one intelligent horse!" "Naah, he's not so smart. He came back with a vet." -<>- >Light Bulbs Light bulb jokes are an innocent way to poke fun -- or so I thought. Working as a sound technician, I asked an electrician, who was also the local union steward: "Hey, Mike. How many Teamsters does it take to change a light bulb?"

One Sunday, just as the minister was reaching the climax of his sermon, his own young son entered the church, ran to the center aisle, started making loud beeps and brrrmms like a car without a muffler, then zoomed right toward him. The minister stopped his sermon, pointed severely at his son, and commanded, "Jimmy, park the car immediately beside your mother on that bench (pointing), turn off the ignition, and hand her the keys." The sermon continued undisturbed ... after a good laugh by the congregation. -<>- .-~-. .' '. / \ .-~-. : ; .'

Without hesitation, the barber answered, "When he's four." -------- One afternoon, two doctors from India were having an animated discussion. "I say it's spelled 'W-H-O-O-M'," said the first Indian doctor. "No, it is 'W-H-O-M-B'," said the other Indian doctor. An American nurse passing by said, "Excuse me, you are both wrong. It is spelled 'W-O-M-B'." "Thank you nurse," said one of the doctors, "but we prefer to settle this argument ourselves. Besides, we don't think you are in a position to describe the sound of an elephant passing wind under water." -------- My son, Mitchell, a kindergartner, practices spelling with magnetic letters on the refrigerator: cat, dog, dad, and mom have been proudly displayed for all to see. One morning while getting ready for the day, Mitchell bounded into the room with his arms outstretched. In his hands were three magnetic letters: "G"-"O"-"D" "Look what I spelled, Mom!" Mitch exclaimed, a proud smile on his face. "That's wonderful!" I praised him. "Now go put them on the fridge so Dad can see when he gets home tonight." That religious education is certainly having an impact, I thought, happily. Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen. "Mom? How do you spell 'zilla?'" -------- "Mr. Quinn, I have reviewed this case very carefully," the divorce court judge said, "and I've decided to give your wife $775 a week." "That's very fair, your honor," the husband said. "And every now and then I'll try to send her a few bucks myself." ------- A study published in "Neurology" says people who snore are more prone to getting headaches. No reason is given. I wonder - could it be on account of their spouses hitting them in the head all night long trying to get them to stop snoring? -------- At a small terminal in the Texas Panhandle, three strangers are awaiting their shuttle flight. One is a Native American passing through from Oklahoma. Another, a local ranch hand on his way to Ft. Worth for a stock show. The third passenger is an Arab student, newly arrived from the Middle East. To pass the time, they strike up a conversation on recent events, and the discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon the Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout Muslim. The conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowpoke leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face while the wind outside blows tumbleweeds and the old windsock flaps. Finally, the Native American clears his throat and softly, he speaks: "Once my people were many, now we are few." The Muslim raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?" The Texan shifts the toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet." -------- Summer was over and the teacher was asking the class about their vacations. She turned to little Johnny and asked what he did over the Summer. "We visited my grandmother in Minneapolis, Minnesota," he said. "That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word," the teacher said, "Can you tell the class how you spell that?" Little Johnny thought about it and said, "Come to think of it, she lives in Ohio.". ------- Renee was passing an office building late one night and saw a sign that said, "Press bell for night watchman." She did so, and after several minutes she heard the watchman clomping down the stairs. The uniformed man proceeded to unlock first one gate, then another, shut down the alarm system, and finally made his way through the revolving door. "Well," he snarled at her, "what do you want?" "I just wanted to know why you can't ring the bell yourself?" -------- Soon after marriage, the lady's husband stopped wearing his wedding ring. She asked, "Why don't you ever wear your wedding band?" He replied, "It cuts off my circulation." She answered back, "It's supposed to!" -------- A man visits his aunt in the nursing home. It turns out that she is taking a nap, so he just sits down in a chair in her room, flips through a few magazines, and munches on some peanuts sitting in a bowl on the table. Eventually, the aunt wakes up, and her nephew realizes he's absentmindedly finished the entire bowl. "I'm so sorry, auntie, I've eaten all of your peanuts!" "That's okay, dearie," the aunt replied. "After I've sucked the chocolate off, I don't care for them anyway." -------- A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London, and was in a hurry. As they went by the Tower of London the cabbie explained what it was and that construction started in 1346 and it was completed in 1412 The Texan replied, "Shoot, a little ol' tower like that? In Houston we'd have that thing up in two weeks!" House of Parliament next - Started construction in 1544, completed 1618. "Heck boy, we put up a bigger one than that in Dallas and it only took a year!" As they passed Westminster Abbey the cabby was silent. "Whoa! What's that over there?" "Darned if I know, wasn't there yesterday..." -------- A father and his small son were standing in front of the tiger's cage at the zoo. Father was explaining how ferocious and strong tigers are, and junior was taking it all in with a serious expression. "Dad," the boy said finally, "if the tiger got out of his cage and ate you up..." "Yes, son?" the father said expectantly. "What bus should I take home?" the boy finished. ------- A man, returning home a day early from a business trip, got into a taxi at the airport. It was after midnight. While en route to his home, he asked the cabby if he would be a witness. The man suspected his wife was having an affair and he intended to catch her in the act. For $100, the cabby agreed. Quietly arriving at the house, the husband and cabby tiptoed into the bedroom. The husband switched on the lights, yanked the blanket back and there was his wife in bed with another man. The husband put a gun to the naked man's head. The wife shouted, "Don't do it! This man has been very generous! I lied when I told you I inherited money. He paid for the Corvette I bought for you. He paid for our new cabin cruiser. He paid for your season Green Bay Packer Tickets. He paid for our house at the lake. He paid for our country club membership, and he even pays the monthly dues!" Shaking his head from side-to-side the husband slowly lowered the gun. He looked over at the cab driver and said, "What would you do?" The cabby said, "I'd cover him up with that blanket before he catches a cold." --- ...LOL!

The guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet. "Just WHAT are you doing?" he asks. "Hanging myself," the blonde replies. "The rope should be around your neck" says the guard. "I tried that," he replies, "but then I couldn't breathe." ------------------------------------ (This one actually makes sense.)

I wish I were making this up. The man was burning trash on his property in Clay County when the fire began burning out of control. The man drove his truck back and forth over the fire in an attempt to suffocate it. However, the tires of the van caught fire, which quickly spread to the rest of the van which was loaded with ammunition. Why was it loaded with ammunition? If you live in Missouri you already know the answer to that question. The man managed to run away from the burning van before it exploded. A police officer who was in the middle of a traffic stop in the area saw the black smoke and went to investigate. The officer eventually found the vehicle's owner watching the fire from a distance. The car owner will not face any charges as the fire occurred on his own property and he only damaged his own vehicle. -<>- It's called the castle doctrine. It says that when a person is in his or her legal abode they have certain legal protections and immunities which permit them to use force, even deadly force, to defend themselves against an intruder. And you better believe they take the castle doctrine seriously in Texas. Maybe a little too seriously, as in the case of this Texas man who got a little spooked when his wife came home early in the morning. Police said the San Antonio man, whose name was not released, told them he heard some noises coming from the front of the house about 4 a.m. and saw a flash of light. He grabbed a shotgun and went to investigate. The man said he saw a light and someone standing at a distance, so before investigating any further, or trying to determine whether the 'flash of light' represented a threat or maybe a headlight or something, he fired a blast from the shotgun. That's when he realized he had shot his wife. Police tried to resuscitate her when they arrived, but she was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to her chest. Authorities aren't sure whether her husband will be charged in the fatal shooting, which remains under investigation. *-- Florida man arrested for drunk driving blames dog --* SARASOTA, Fla. - A Florida DWI suspect allegedly offered authorities an unusual explanation for his vehicle's erratic movements: "My dog was driving." The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said a deputy attempted a traffic stop shortly before 8 p.m. Oct. 7 on a white four-door vehicle seek speeding through a neighborhood. The sheriff's office said the vehicle sped up while attempting a turn and ended up traveling through a ditch on the side of the road. The driver then over-corrected, swerved and ended up going through a ditch on the opposite side of the road before crashing into a house, investigators said. The suspect, later identified as Reliford Cooper, fled on foot and a K9 unit soon found his t-shirt in front of a church. A pastor from the church told a deputy that someone was hiding in the facility's bathroom. Churchgoers forced Cooper out, and he was placed under arrest. "I wasn't driving that car." Cooper allegedly told deputies while he was being handcuffed. "Who was chasing me? You're slow as [expletive]!" A deputy told Cooper he smelled of alcohol and marijuana, leading him to allegedly offer an explanation for the events. "My dog was driving that car. I ran because I wanted to. You ain't gonna find no drugs or guns on me," Cooper allegedly said, before vomiting and complaining of a back injury. Cooper was arrested on charges including DWI with property damage, aggravated fleeing, leaving the scene of a crash with property damage and resisting/obstructing an officer without violence. He was taken to Manatee Memorial hospital for examination and later transported to jail. *-- Florida woman accidentally super glued her eye shut --* LANTANA, Fla. - A Florida woman said she mistook super glue for eye drops and ended up with her eye glued shut for several days. Katherine Gaydos said her ordeal began last week when a piece of debris flew into her eye while a friend was using a leaf blower. "Something blew into my eye and I screamed for someone else to get eye drops out of my purse and they brought super glue," she told WPBF-TV. "As soon as I felt it in my eye I felt it burn and I closed my eye and screamed 'Call 911.'" Gaydos said her doctor gave her antibiotic salve and ointment, but refused to attempt to open her eye or give further treatment unless she made a payment. "He was talking about doing surgery to try and save my eye, but now I don't know what to do -- I don't have a job, no insurance or any money," Gaydos said. Gaydos said another doctor contacted her after the initial WPBF-TV report aired Wednesday and was able to pry her eye open. "It was the same office, but a different doctor," Gaydos said. "He put Lidocaine above and below my eye and just pulled on it until it finally opened." Gaydos said the second doctor told her to return Friday to remove the rest of the glue from her cornea. She said the doctor did not ask her for payment. "He said I should get my sight back, and not have permanent damage," Gaydos said. Dr. Pankaj Gupta, assistant professor of ophthalmology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, said the situation would have resolved itself over time if Gaydos had not received treatment. "The first thing I think everyone needs to know is don't panic," Gupta told ABC News. "There is not a single thing that is permanent that will not slough off on its own," he said. "In time it will go away." *-- Man wiped summons 'between his butt cheeks' --* READINGTON, N.J. - A New Jersey man is facing charges for allegedly wiping "between his butt cheeks" with a police summons before throwing it at an officer. The indictment charging Joseph Greenwood, 45, with a fourth-degree charge of throwing bodily fluids alleges he was issued the summons by Lt. John Insabella of the Readington Police Department on a municipal court charge of threatening to assault another person. The indictment accuses Greenwood of acting "by taking the summons complaint issued to him upon his release from police custody, placing it between his butt cheeks, wiping the paper in an upward and downward motion and throwing it in the direction of the officer." Greenwood "did purposely subject [Insabella] of the Readington Township Police Department to contact with a bodily fluid while the officer was in uniform and acting in the performance of his duties." The indictment states the incident took place June 2. Greenwood is also facing pending charges of disorderly conduct and making threats to kill another person in connection with a Sept. 18 incident. *-- Survey: Worker called in sick for cat stuck in dashboard --* CHICAGO - Job-seeking website CareerBuilder's annual survey found workers called in sick this year for getting stuck under a bed and having a cat trapped in a dashboard. The website said its annual Harris Poll survey of 3,321 adult employees and 2,326 hiring and human resource managers, conducted online Aug. 12-Sept. 2, suggested 38 percent of workers called in sick during the past year when they actually felt fine, up from 28 percent in last year's survey. Of the workers who called in sick while feeling well, 27 percent said they had a doctor's appointment, 27 percent said they just didn't feel like going to work, 26 percent said they needed time to relax, 21 percent said they needed to catch up on sleep and 12 percent said they wanted to stay home for weather-related issues. CareerBuilder said employers were asked to share some of the most memorable excuses they were given for employees missing work. The responses included: 1. Employee claimed his grandmother poisoned him with ham. 2. Employee was stuck under the bed. 3. Employee broke his arm reaching to grab a falling sandwich. 4. Employee said the universe was telling him to take a day off. 5. Employee's wife found out he was cheating. He had to spend the day retrieving his belongings from the dumpster. 6. Employee poked herself in the eye while combing her hair. 7. Employee said his wife put all his underwear in the washer. 8. Employee said the meal he cooked for a department potluck didn't turn out well. 9. Employee was going to the beach because the doctor said she needed more vitamin D. 10. Employee said her cat was stuck inside the dashboard of her car. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Bunni :) __. /-7 k .-' o.-'/ / .; \ ( [ ) \ [.---. ;/ \ ) \ (/ ) | AsH / \ ( [_' \_~ >Funnies: Quick word play -- A good thing to exercise when you're putting on weight is restraint. -- Running out of sausage is a busy pizza maker's wurst nightmare. -- He arrived late at the party to find he was beaten to the punch. .-._.--._ / / -. | \ |__ ,-'______.-' '( c-(_)(_)__ \ .._ . ) \ / `-' /\-|\_ /-. \ / ( , o)\ | | o)\ c - _/\\ / \ \=====| | //======| | / =====_/ |/\===/=/ )==)=) (==|=| | |=|______ (_.-. ) ) '--''-' [nabis] Funny puns I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger.

After one too many tosses, she dropped the keys, and we watched as they disappeared into the crack between the open doors and the floor. I felt terrible for her. Or I did until she cried, “Oh no! Not again!” Beethoven When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening, "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..." Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate. He stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing." Perspective An English professor wrote the words: "A woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing." --- ...LOL! Absolutely! Life is all about perspective! Thanks Bunni! I was just having this talk with my daughter. I was reminding her of all the trials and persecutions and evil things that Paul the Apostle went through yet he said he learned that no matter what situation he was in, to be content. Phil.4:11. I told her it was because of his perspective. He believed God would make all things work out best for him so he was 'content' to wait until God got him out of the mess he was in or healed him or saved him. He believed in God through Jesus Christ to totally take care of him at all times. With that perspective on life, you can brave any storm the devil may throw at you! ================================================================== >-->From CleanLaffs: Procrastinator's Calender NEG FRI FRI FRI THU WED TUE 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 16 15 14 12 11 10 9 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 32 30 28 27 26 25 24 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 1.

But upon closer inspection, we noticed that the plaque seemed to reveal some dark, previously hidden secret. There were only two lines on the engraving, and no punctuation. Read together, it said, "May the Lord Bless You and Keep You From Mary Blevin." [From Reader's Digest.] -<>- >First thing - every single morning - one of the secretaries in our office opened the newspaper and read everyone's horo- scope aloud. "Gwen," said our boss finally, "you seem to be a normal, levelheaded person. Do you really believe in astrology?" "Of course not," Gwen answered. "You know how skeptical we Capricorns are." -<>- Both sides of our family turned out for my wife's college graduation. After the dean finished awarding all the diploma's, he requested, "Will all the 'cum laudes' please stand up?" My mother-in-law leaned over and whispered, "Wow! The Cum Laude family sure has a lot of kids!" ========================================================= >-->From TheMouth: __ __ __ \ \ / / ,'__`. \ ` / / / \ \ ___ | | \ \__/ / /:;'` |_| `.__,' :::\ _________ ;:::\ _.-'',' : `.``-._ _..::::::::.._ ,-'___ ; : : ___`-. `'::::::::::'' ,',',---`. : ,'---.`.`. _):::::(_ / /,'::::::\ ,^. /::::::`.\ \ |:::::::::: / ,`--...___/ /:::\ \___...--'. \ |:::::::::| / : : /_____\ : : \ ::::::::::: : : : : : : : ;::::::::::: | : : ___ : ___ : ; | ::::::::::::| | _:..-'_'.-.\__:__/,-.`_`-..:_ | ::::::::::::: : :.--'''::::::`---'::::::```--,; ; \:::::::::;' \ \\:::::::::::::::::::::::::// / :::::::::| \ \\:::___:::::::::::___:::// / |::::::::: \ `::|--:\:::::::::/;--|:;' / ;:::::::::\ `. `' \\_______// '' ,' ::::::::::::\ `-._`. ``-----'' ,'_.-' |::::::::::::: `-.._`.___,'_..-' ;::::::::::::| ____ _ _ __ __ ____ _ _ _ __ _ ::::::::::::::| | _ \ | | | || \ / || _ \ | |/ /| || \ | | |:::::::::::::| | |_) )| | | || . ` , || |_) )| ' / | || . \| | |:::::::::::::| | __/ | |_| || |\_/| || __/ | . \ | || |\ ' | |:::::::::::::: |_| `.___,'|_| |_||_| |_|\_\|_||_| \__| ;::::::::::::::\ _ _ _____ _ ____ ::::::::|\:::::::\ | | | || ___| / \ | _ \ |:::::::||\:::::::: | |_| || |_ / _ \ | | \ \ |:::::::|| :::::::| | _ || _|_ / ___ \ | |_/ / ::::::::|| |::::::; |_| |_||_____|/_/ \_\|____/ SSt `:::::;'' ::::::/ \::;' After asking for Halloween costume ideas, I received some great ones for readers. I thought I would share a few: God's Gift to Women: Wrap yourself like a present using romantic wrapping paper. Attach a large tag that says "From: GOD To: WOMEN". Quarter Pounder: Carry a quarter and a hammer. If someone asks what you are, put the quarter down and pound it with the hammer. Nudist on Strike: Dress in normal clothes and carry a sign that says "Nudist on Strike." Someone You Can Count On: Wear all black clothes. Cut out big, bright numbers and attach them to your clothes. A bag of jellybeans – you get a clear plastic bag, put holes in the bottom for your legs, fill it up with colored balloons, and tie the top around your neck with a colored ribbon. If you can get someone else you can go as a pair of dice – all you need is a box big enough for you to wear, paint it black, cut holes in the top and sides and then paint white, red, green or any other contrasting color with black for the "numbers" – remember your head is one, your legs are two and the sides for your arms are three and five. Make a simple poncho of tattered gauzy cloth. Smear it with dirt. Hang fake cobwebs off it. Rat out your hair. Makeup your face to look 'dead' and ghoulish with gray eyeshadow and dark gray eyeshadow under your eyes to make your eyes look sunken in. Make a cardboard tombstone to carry. On the tombstone, write, 'I told you I was sick'. You can also attach dead or wilted flowers to the bottom of the tombstone. Take a small plastic trashcan. Cut out the bottom. Attach suspenders to the top. Open the bottom of a large plastic garbage bag with pull-ties. Toward the top, cut armholes. You'll be wearing the pull-ties around your neck so your head is sticking out of the garbage bag. Decorate the trashcan with bags from McDonalds, small cat-toy type rats and mice, and other things to be 'garbage.' Make the lid of the trashcan into a hat by cutting slits and threading ribbon through (to tie under your chin). More trash can be glued to the lid. Being of the Caucasion persuasion, when I used this costume, I said I was 'White Trash.' Thanks to J.B., Patricia, and Ellie for the ideas above! Sincerely, Melissa -<>- "Listen, Sissy, you say "Trick or Treat" when the people come to the door, and then they give you candy.

Typing with a steady hand, then invoked the SAVE command But I got a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore." Was this some occult illusion? Some maniacal intrusion? These were choices Solomon himself had never faced before. Carefully, I weighed my options. These three seemed to be the top ones. Clearly I must now adopt one: Choose "Abort, Retry, Ignore." With my fingers pale and trembling, Slowly toward the keyboard bending, Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored, Praying for some guarantee Finally I pressed a key-- But on the screen what did I see? Again: "Abort, Retry, Ignore." I tried to catch the chips off-guard-- I pressed again, but twice as hard. Luck was just not in the cards. I saw what I had seen before. Now I typed in desperation Trying random combinations Still there came the incantation: Choose: "Abort, Retry, Ignore." There I sat, distraught, exhausted, by my own machine accosted Getting up I turned away and paced across the office floor. And then I saw an awful sight: A bold and blinding flash of light-- A lightning bolt had cut the night and shook me to my very core. I saw the screen collapse and die "Oh no--my data base," I cried I thought I heard a voice reply, "You'll see your data Nevermore!" To this day I do not know The place to which lost data goes I bet it goes to heaven where the angels have it stored But as for productivity, well I fear that IT goes straight to hell And that's the tale I have to tell Your choice: "Abort, Retry, Ignore." ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Detroit Steel!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/detroitsteel.html Ford's First RV!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/firstrv.html Classic Woodies!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/woodcars.html Chevy Selling It!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/chevysi.html 50s Concept Car!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/conceptcars.html Vokner Mobil RV!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/rv.html Stainless VS Gold!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/stainlesscar.html Rare Packard RV!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/packardrv.html Detroit Autorama!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/detroitauto.html Amazing Bike Car!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/bikecar.html Weird Old Vehicles!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/oldvehicles.html Fall And Halloween Index http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/halloweenindex.html -<>- >From Our Friend LouiseA :) Have you seen those new Coke bottles that have different names on them?

In a related story the population of Mexico is now at 38 people." --Jay Leno "The Iranian government just announced that they are going to slow down Internet access speed because they don't want Iranians to have good Internet service. Apparently, the government is so serious about this they are making all Iranians subscribe to AOL." --Conan O'Brien "I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners." —-Jeff Stilson "Here's an odd story. Yesterday a man that was so fat tried crossing the Mexican border and became trapped in a tunnel. This really isn't fair. If he's that fat he belongs in the United States." --Conan O'Brien "A celebrity birthday today. Nicole Ritchie! She turned 25 pounds today. So happy birthday to her." --Jay Leno "My wife recently put me on a diet. It is an interesting diet of her own devising that essentially allows me to eat anything I want so long as it contains no fat, cholesterol, sodium, or calories and isn't tasty. In order to keep me from starving altogether, she went to the grocery store and bought everything that had "bran" in its title. I am not sure, but I believe I had bran cutlets for dinner last night. I am very depressed." --Bill Bryson, I'M A STRANGER HERE MYSELF "Turbulence: This is what pilots announce that you have encountered when your plane strikes an object in midair. You'll be flying along, and there will be an enormous, shuddering WHUMP, and clearly the plane has rammed into an airborne object at least the size of a water buffalo, and the pilot will say, "Folks, we're encountering a little turbulence." Meanwhile they are up there in the cockpit trying desperately to clean water buffalo organs off the windshield." --Dave Barry "Although a lot of people are on these low-carb diets, doctors say be careful, because you need carbohydrates because carbohydrates create a chemical in your brain that cheers you up and fights depression. So the next time you see a guy on a ledge, about to jump... throw him a doughnut." --Jay Leno "New York is a great town, though. If you're here and want a one of a kind souvenir be sure to take home the police sketch of your assailant." --Dave Letterman >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->FULL LENGTH - FREE On line AUDIO MP3 Christian Foundational Class http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=61 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->This is for all you who love food and DARE to make it at home Yep.
