I don't know about you, but it always amazes me what the rich spend their money on. This page is a perfect example of their crazy over indulgence.

Today, fathers pray their children will speak English. In 1900, a father's horsepower meant his horses. Today, it's the size of his minivan. In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success. Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that's just the vacation home. In 1900, a father waited for the doctor to tell him when the baby arrived. Today, a father must wear a smock, know how to breathe, and make sure film is in the video camera. In 1900, fathers passed on clothing to their sons. Today, kids wouldn't touch Dad's clothes if they were sliding naked down an icicle. In 1900, fathers could count on children to join the family business. Today, fathers pray their kids will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to work the computer and set the VCR. In 1900, a father smoked a pipe. If he tries that today, he gets sent outside after a lecture on lip cancer. In 1900, fathers shook their children gently and whispered, "Wake up, it's time for school." Today, kids shake their fathers violently at 4 a.m., shouting: "Wake up, it's time for hockey practice." In 1900, a father came home from work to find his wife and children at the supper table. Today, a father comes home to a note: "Jimmy's at baseball, Cindy's at gymnastics, I'm at adult-Ed, Pizza in fridge." In 1900, fathers and sons would have heart-to-heart conversations while fishing in a stream. Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons' ears and shout, "WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE.." In 1900, a father gave a pencil box for Christmas, and the kid was all smiles. Today, a father spends $800 at Toys 'R' Us, and the kid screams: "I wanted Sega!" In 1900, if a father had breakfast in bed, it was eggs and bacon and ham and potatoes. Today, it's Special K, soy milk, dry toast and a lecture on cholesterol. In 1900, fathers said, "A man's home is his castle." Today, they say, "Welcome to the money pit." In 1900, "a good day at the market" meant Father brought home feed for the horses. Today, "a good day at the market" means Dad got in early on an IPO. In 1900, when fathers entered the room, children often rose to attention. Today, kids glance up and grunt, "Dad, you're invading my space." In 1900, fathers threatened their daughters' suitors with shotguns if the girl came home late. Today, fathers break the ice by saying, "So...how long have you had that earring?" ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ March 26 is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day and National Spinach Day March 27 is National "Joe" Day March 28 is Something on a Stick Day and Weed Appreciation Day March 29 is National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day and Smoke and Mirrors Day March 30 is Good Friday, I am in Control Day, National Doctor's Day, Passover begins at sundown and Take a Walk in the Park Day March 31 is Bunsen Burner Day, National Clam on the Half Shell Day and World Backup Day April 1 is Easter Sunday, April Fool's Day, International Fun at Work Day and International Tatting Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: __ __ / \ /| |'-. .\__/ || | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | / \__.`=._) (_ |/ ._/ |"""""""""| |'. `\ | | ;"""/ / | | jgs ) /_/| |.-------.| ' `-`' " " >High Maintenance I'm high maintenance ...

"Why do you say that?" "Because she always puts me to bed when I am wide awake and gets me up when I am sleepy." -<>- >Parenting... I'd had a pretty hectic day with my four-year-old. When bed-time finally came, I laid down the law: "We're putting on your pj's, brushing your teeth, and reading ONE book. Then it's lights out!" Her arms went around my neck in a gentle embrace, and she said, "We learned in Sunday school about little boys and girls who don't have mommies and daddies." Even after I'd been such a grouch, I thought, she was still grateful to have me. I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes, and then she whispered, "Maybe you could go be THEIR mom?" -<>- >Spanish Bible My family was visiting a church and the minister announced they had both Spanish and English Bibles for use during the service. My youngest son tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Mommy, I want one of those Spanish Bibles." "Don't be silly, you can't read Spanish," I quickly rejoined. Holding out his own Bible to me, my kindergartner explained, "Mom, I can't read English either." -<>- >Shopping Emergency My mother and my wife, both nurses, were shopping together when a woman in a nearby dressing room fell unconscious. Mom discovered that the woman wasn't breathing, so she and my wife started CPR and revived the shopper just as paramedics arrived. They loaded the woman onto a gurney and were rolling her out of the store when she yelled, "Stop!" My mother and my wife thought maybe she wanted to thank them, but instead she said, "I still want to buy those dresses." ========================================================= __, ,___) ______) ,_) (--|__| _, _ _ (--|__ _, ,-|-_ ,_ _| |(_||_)|_)(_| _|___(_|/_)|(/_| ( | | ,_| ( >-->Easter SMILES: Q: Is it true that bunnies have good eye sight?

She doesn’t know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. A Bass Pro Shop associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, “Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?” He says, “Ma’am, I’m completely blind; but if you’ll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.” She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, “That’s a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. test line. It’s a good all around combination and it’s on sale this week for only $20.00.” She says, “It’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I’ll take it!” As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor. “Oh, that sounds like a Master Card,” he says. She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn’t know that she was the only person around. The man rings up the sale and says, “That’ll be $34.50 please.” The woman is totally confused by this and asks,“Didn’t you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did the total come to $34.50?” He replies, “Yes, Ma’am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the duck call is $11.00 and the bear repellent is $3.50.” --- ...LOL!

The Bay County Sheriff's Office said that they have arrested 38-year-old Michael P. Stark after being accused of breaking into the store and stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets. Stark was charged with breaking and entering with intent to commit a larceny, unlawfully stealing a motor vehicle, and larceny in a building. In addition to the robbery-related charges, Stark is facing one count of assaulting, obstructing, or resisting police. According to the police investigation, Stark found a snow- mobile and used it to break the glass doors of Dore's Party Store. He then entered the store through the broken doors and took cigarettes and lottery tickets. Stark then fled the scene with the stolen snowmobile. Police officers who responded to the scene followed the snowmobile tracks and found Stark. Security surveillance at the store recorded the moment Stark crashed through the doors with the snowmobile. If convicted, Stark faces up to 10 years in prison. -<>- 23-year-old Jacoby Schmidt and Ashley Carrelli, 22, both of Ohio, were charged with public indecency and disorderly conduct after the couple was arrested for making love in full view of children. The sheriff's office received a call about two people having s%& in front of the children at the Walker Elementary School. Officers located the couple behind the school next to a playground, where 11 children were playing and several adults were supervising them, according to the police report. The two continued having s%& even when the deputies approached them. Carrelli, who was totally naked and wrapped in a blanket, reportedly exposed her breasts. Schmidt was naked from the waist down. Schmidt and Carrelli told authorities they did not know that it was illegal to have s%& at that spot, according to police. They also said they did not realize there were people watching from the nearby playground. Authorities found several cans of Bud Light beer in the grass close to where the couple was having s%&. They were taken into custody. *- Is That 9 Pounds of Coke In Your Pants Or... -* Customs officials at a New York airport said an airline crew member on a flight from Jamaica was found to be hiding 9 pounds of cocaine inside his pants. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Jamaican citizen Hugh Hall was a crew member on a Fly Jamaica Airways flight that arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport from Montego Bay. Hugh presented himself for inspection upon arriving in New York and he was taken to a private search room, where officers found four packages of cocaine taped to his legs under his pants. The cocaine weighed about 9 pounds and had an estimated street value of $160,000. "This seizure is another example of our CBP officers being ever vigilant in protecting the United States from the distribution of illicit drugs," said Leon Hayward, acting director of CBP's New York Field Operations. *--------------- Bee Acupuncture ---------------* Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that was invented and practiced by the ancient Chinese. It involves piercing the skin with needles for various health benefits like pain relief. But needles get boring. You can achieve much more dramatic results with something with a little more 'sting'. It's called apitherapy, or live bee acupuncture. A bee is positioned directly over a relevant point on a patient's body and its head is squeezed repeatedly until the stinger comes out. The stinger is inserted into the skin, the venom is released and the bee dies. Unfortunately, so did a recent patient. A 55-year-old Spanish woman died after receiving live bee acupuncture. The cause of death was a severe allergic reaction to the venom. Still, some practitioners and patients swear by it, including celebrity lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow, who credits bee venom for getting rid of an old injury. But medical experts recommended that people avoid the procedure. *------ Police Raid Illegal Zumba Studio ------* Police in Houston said officers raided a supposed Zumba dance studio in the city and seized dozens of illegal gambling machines. Members of the Major Officers Unit raided the illegal game room in a strip mall in Southwest Houston. The facility "was masquerading as a Zumba Dance room," investigators said, "but inside were only illegal electronic gaming devices." Officers arrested an attendant seized more than 40 motherboards from the illegal machines, as well as thousands of dollars in cash. The constabulary quipped there is "no dancing around gambling laws in Precinct 5." "Game rooms are not just illegal in Texas," the statement said. "They and their customers are often targets for other types of crime due to large amounts of cash on hand and patrons who are often elderly. Operators of these establishments are often reluctant to report crimes to the proper authorities due to the illegal nature of their businesses." *---- 'Smoke-breathing' Elephant Discovered ----* Researchers visiting a wildlife area in India captured video of a bizarre scene: A "smoke-breathing" elephant. The Wildlife Conservation Society said scientists and colleagues were visiting Nagaharole National Park to check camera-trap locations for a long-term tiger study when they came across the unusual elephant. Vinay Kumar, assistant director of WCS India, captured video appearing to show the elephant exhaling thick clouds of smoke. WCS researchers said they have no concrete answers for the strange scene, but experts suggested some possibilities. "I believe the elephant may have been trying to ingest wood charcoal," said Varun Goswami, WCS India scientist and elephant biologist. "She appeared to be picking up pieces from the forest floor, blowing away the ash that came along with it, and consuming the rest." Experts said charcoal may have medicinal value for elephants, as it has toxin-binding properties and works as a laxative for the animals. --- ...I found the video - Just for you! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc5kISFT1r8 ========================================================= >-->From TheDailyGroner: .-. o \ .-. .----.' \ .'o) / `. o / | \_) /-.

She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor..." She asks, "How often do I have to do that?" -<>- | | .' / *PODA-PLOP-PLOP-PLOP-PLOP-PLOP-PLOP-PLOP* _.-' `""-._/ .'_._ _ .' .-'.' > ( \/ (%) @ \.' .' \ 4 @ _.-' _ _ _ - _ - / - J (%) L /\ _ - \ _ ( _ | | (:4-|-.// _(:4-|-.// \_(:4-|-.//J F /_"`.__.o _ / "`.__.o - "`.__.o L J (\ \ "> .'\_) VK (_/`-..___..-' >The Toughest Time of My Life I had the toughest time of my life. First, I got angina pectoris and then arteriosclerosis. Just as I was recovering from these, I got tuberculosis, double pneumonia and phthisis. Then they gave me hypodermics. Appendicitis was followed by tonsillectomy. These gave way to aphasia and hypertrophic cirrhosis. I completely lost my memory for a while. I know I had diabetes and acute ingestion, besides gastritis, rheumatism, lumbago and neuritis. I don't know how I pulled through it. It was the hardest spelling test I've ever had." ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: |\ /| |\ /| | \ / | |\\ //| | | | | | \| |/ | \ | | / \ || || / \ |_| / \||_||/ .'

If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free... you either married it or gave birth to it. -<>- A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, "I don't like the looks of your wife at all." "Me neither doc," said the husband, "but she's a great cook and really good with the kids." -<>- While flying from Denver to Kansas City, Kansas, my mother was sitting across the aisle from a woman and her eight- year-old son. Mom couldn't help laughing as they neared their destination and she heard the mother say to the boy, "Now remember, run to Daddy first, then the dog." -<>- "Did you give the prisoner the third degree?" the police sergeant asked the detective. "Yeah, we browbeat him pretty good," nodded the other. "Asked him every question we could think of." "And did you get a confession?" asked the sergeant. "Not exactly," explained the officer. "All he'd say was, 'Yes dear,' and doze off." -<>- A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple hours in the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him. He asked his father, "How does this boat float?" The father thought for a moment, then replied, "Don't rightly know, son." The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his father, "How do fish breathe underwater?" Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son." A little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue?" Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know, son." Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says, "Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?" "Of course not, son. If you don't ask questions, you'll never learn anything!" -<>- A woman said to her friend, "I don't know what to do. My husband is such a mess maker that you can't imagine. He doesn't put anything in its place, I am always going around the house organizing things." The friend says, "Take a tip from me. The first week after we were married I laid the law down firmly with my husband. I told him, 'Every glass and plate that you take, wash when you are done and put back in its place.'" The first woman asked, "Did it help?" Her friend said, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since." ========================================================= >-->From TheMouth: /| |\ | | | | ( \./ ) ( \ / ) (.\ /.) \ : / \\*// \ / ) : ( ))*(( ) .

They're either directly or indirectly about the human condition, and are packed with human behavior. Except that a lot of the time, they really aren't. They play more like an alien's vague idea of what our species does. https://tinyurl.com/y97khhvz 28 People Having A Worse Spring Break Than You From Buzzfeed.com: Save yourself from a horrible Spring Break experience.

Just remember, the partying lasts a week, but the photos will cost you jobs forever." -Jimmy Fallon "After residents in Birmingham complained about the terrible smell, New York City has agreed to stop sending railcars full of the city's excess sewage to a landfill in Alabama. Yeah, train cars filled with human waste and an unbearable smell--or, as that's called in New York, the subway." -James Corden "Toys R Us is going out of business. I'll always remember Toys R Us as the store where my children had a complete and total meltdown each and every time we went there. I guess people don't enjoy that anymore." -Jimmy Kimmel "Golfer Rory McIlroy said there should be a limit to how much alcohol fans can buy at events because they're getting too rowdy. And also, he's tired of hearing drunk people try to say 'Rory McIlroy.'" -Jimmy Fallon "Actress Cynthia Nixon today announced her bid to run for New York governor, and she debuted her campaign slogan, 'Nixon 2018: No Relation.'" -Seth Meyers "In financial news, billionaire investor Warren Buffett is facing some criticism after saying in a recent interview, 'You will not be way happier if you double your net worth.' Spoken like someone who has $90 billion. But he is partially right. Happiness does not come from net worth. It comes from the things you can BUY because of your net worth." -James Corden "YouTube is planning a 'Karate Kid' series that follows the characters 34 years later. The show is entitled 'Ralph Macchio's Mortgage Is Due.'" -Conan O'Brien "A giant snowstorm hit the entire East Coast today. People spent the morning posting pictures of the storm on Facebook, and Facebook spent the afternoon selling them." -Jimmy Fallon "A new poll has found that a majority of Americans believe the government is spying on them.
