Later the man passed by the beggar again. This was what ensued between the man and the blind man: BLIND MAN: Sir, you gave me fake money in the morning. MAN: How did you know it was fake money? Who told you I gave it to you? I think you are not blind. Are you? BLIND MAN: No I am not, I'm begging for my friend who is blind. MAN: Where is he?

At first glance, MDL may not seem like a big problem, especially to members of the female species, who generally prefer MDL to WDL. But the evidence is overwhelming. MDL has resulted in millions of discolored clothes, billions of missing socks, and countless broken relationships. Wife: "Did you remember to separate the clothes before washing them?" Husband: "Yes, of course I did. I put the whites at the bottom and the colors on top." -<>- >Popular Restaurant When my husband and I showed up at a very popular restaurant, it was crowded. I went up to the hostess and asked, "Will it be long?" The hostess, ignoring me, kept writing in her book. I asked again, "How much of a wait?" The woman looked up and said, "About ten minutes." A short time later, we heard an announcement over the loud-speaker: "Willette B. Long, your table is ready." -<>- >Dental Checkup I had taken my boys to the dentist for their first checkup when they were quite young. First the dentist checked Andy the older son and then Adam the younger one. After checking both the boys the dentist seemed perplexed and was eyeing both the boys skeptically. On inquiring what was the matter, he said he just couldn't understand how it was possible both of them had the same tooth growth and similar number of missing teeth as if they were twins. At this I burst out laughing and saying "But they are and it's the first time someone recognized them as twins because of their dental similarity." -<>- >Camping Inconveniences The members of my wife's bridge club were exchanging stories of their days camping with their families in the 1950's. Each related how they remembered the primitive conditions like gathering wood, pumping well water and carrying it to the campsite, using an outhouse, and so forth. Finally one woman asked my wife, who was raised in rural Montana, if she had ever done any camping. "Oh, no, we didn't bother," she replied. "We had all those inconveniences at home." -<>- >Sherlock and the IRS A stockbroker received notice from the IRS that he was being audited. He showed up at the appointed time and place with all his financial records, then sat for what seemed like hours as the accountant pored over them. Finally the IRS agent looked up and commented, "You must have been a tremendous fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." "Why would you say that?" replied the broker. "Because you've made more brilliant deductions on your last three returns than Sherlock Holmes made in his entire career." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseAu :) ____ / __\ |: /---) \ / ___ \:( _/ \ / /_ \ \ \ \/ \_\::) \_ \ _0""0_ / _/ \ \/= \/ =\/ / \ | (||) | / \_\______/_/ __// \\__ /__//====\\__\ _ //__//====\\__\\ _ _ //__//====\\__\\ _ _ // /( )\ \\ _ _ / /( )\ \ _ |( )| / \ / /||\ \ \:_/\_:/ S@yaN 11.11.02 >SMILES I was on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco when I saw a seafood restaurant and a sign on the Specials Board which read, "Big Lobster Tales, $5 each." Amazed at the great value, I said to the hostess, "Five bucks for lobster tails, is that right?" "Yes. It's our special today." "They must be tiny little lobster tails." "No, it's the really big lobster." "Are you sure they aren't green lobster tails, maybe just a little bit tough?" "Nope. It's the really big red lobster." "Big red lobster tails for five dollars each? They must be old!" "No, they're definitely today's." "Today's big red lobster tails - $5 each?" "Yes." "Well, here's my five dollars. I'll take one." She took the money and led me to a table. She then sat down next to me, put her hand on my shoulder, leaned over close and said, "Once upon a time there was a really big red lobster ..." ------- A man approached a local in a village he was visiting. "What's the quickest way to New York?" The local scratched his head. "Are you walking or driving?" he asked the stranger. "I'm driving." "Well, That's the quickest way!" ------------ A little boy went to the store with his grandmother and on the way home, he was looking at the things she had purchased. He found a package of panty hose and began to sound out the words "Queen Size". He then turned to his grandmother and exclaimed, "Look Grandma, you wear the same size as our bed!" ------------ As the family gathered for a big dinner together, the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter's office. There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle this new situation. "Oh, come on, quit joking," snickered one. "You didn't really do that, did you?" "You would never get through basic training," scoffed another. The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was just gazing at him. When she finally spoke, she simply asked, "Do you really plan to make your own bed every morning?" ------------ Bill, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75-story sky scraper. After a long day of meetings they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room. Bill said to Jim and Scott, "Let's break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I'll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can sing songs for 25 flights and Scott can tell sad stories the rest of the way. " At the 26th floor Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing. At the 51st floor Jim stopped singing and Scott began to tell sad stories. "I will tell my saddest story first," he said. "I left the room key in the car! ------------ A principal made it a practice to visit each classroom in his school one day a week. He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name. They came up with about 40 names. The principal jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states. One lad raised his hand and said, 'Yes sir, but in those days there were only 13 states! ------------ I was attending an outdoor music concert with a young woman I'd recently begun dating. Standing at the back of the crowd, we wrapped our arms around each other, swaying to the music. After a particularly romantic song, my date turned to face me. With a loving smile, she said, "I wish we were closer." Totally thrilled, I looked into her eyes and whispered, "Do you mean our houses or our friendship?" Puzzled, she replied, "To the stage." ------------ A man shouted frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" asked the dispatcher. "NO!" he exclaimed, "this is her husband." --- ...LOL! Good Ones! Thanks LouiseAu! -<>- This might not be HOW Ii would say it, but I agree with it.

Indulge yourself: Don’t deprive yourself from your favorite foods no matter how anti slimming they are, but enjoy them in healthy moderations and you are golden. More important that the food you eat are the portions you eat them in. Don’t stuff, Satisfy: You do not have to eat until every last bite is cleaned off of your plate. Your stomach is made up of smooth muscle and when you overeat, it will stretch out and your appetite will increase. You only want to eat until you’re satisfied, not until you are full. If you already have a large appetite, then it’s going to take a little bit more control at the beginning but it is imperative that you decrease your portion sizes. Know yourself: If you can’t limit pick-able foods (chips, nuts, grapes, candy, etc.), then make sure you stick to single serving portions, such as handheld fruit, individually-wrapped hummus, nut or nut butter packets. Moderate what you eat and know how much you can take before it starts showing. Salads and Soups: These initial orders won’t completely satisfy you, but they will fill you up with low calories and leave less room for your main course, thus making sure you don’t become a glutton and overeat. Don’t finish, while dining out: When eating out make it a point not to finish the whole meal. These servings are made for 3 people instead of 2 (keeping in mind you are out on a date). So leave a little left over so you make sure that you are stuffing yourself to avoid wasting, you will be doing more damage than good if you polish it all off. Hydrate yourself: Hunger can often be confused for thirst. So if you’re feeling peckish late afternoon, ask yourself: how much water did I drink today? Dehydration can prompt hunger pangs, headaches, congested skin, and even constipation. So try to drink at least two litres of water per day. For an extra nutrition boost, try drinking green tea (rich in antioxidants), liquorice tea (to beat sugar cravings), or cinnamon tea (which regulates blood sugar levels). Don’t eat in front of the TV: How you eat determines to a large extent how much you eat. If you watch TV while eating lunch, you’re likely to snack more later in the afternoon. Appetite psychologists discovered this when they did an experiment with sixteen female students. Distraction increases our food intake. If you listen to music or watch TV while eating, you eat more. It seems that distraction delays the process of reaching satiety in the brain. Have a small snack before partying: The party snack is also the snack most likely to substitute for a meal, making variety and nutrition important. Rule of thumb is if you are in doubt read the label. There is nothing wrong with enjoying a party snack or snacking before a party, just make sure you do it within reason. Try a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit so that you don’t show up ravenous and make poor decisions. Be a part time Vegetarian: Give your body a break from animal protein and mix things up. Go green once in awhile and see the difference it will make on your body and physical appearance. The key is getting the nutrients you need on your two no-meat days while also satisfying your hunger and pleasing your taste buds. Whole grain over white: This way, you don’t have to cut out carbs entirely. When put head-to-head with whole wheat bread, white is a nutritional lightweight. Whole wheat is much higher in fiber, vitamins B6 and E, magnesium, zinc, folic acid and chromium. So all the good stuff! --- ...Great Advice!

Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re- board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight. He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, "Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind lady said, "No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs." Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a guide dog for the blind! Even worse, the pilot was wearing sunglasses! People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines! A True story... Have a great day and remember... THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR. A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!!! --- ...HaHa! A great classic!

Lee County, Florida Sheriff Deputies say a man attempted to jump a canal with his car in a Lehigh Acres neighborhood. Witnesses say they saw a man in a blue Toyota Corolla drive to the edge of the canal and stop. Then, he got out of the car to observe the distance, got back into the vehicle and tried to make the jump of about 20 feet. His vehicle had to be towed out of the canal. Neighbors believe the driver was "misbehaving, or under the influence of alcohol or drug-related." Deputies say the man was not injured, but the car was totaled. The Lee County Sheriff's Office is still investigating. -<>- A drunk driver pulled down her shirt and exposed her breasts to police officers who questioned her about erratic behavior, according to police in Florida. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said that they have arrested 40-year-old Clairet Birdsall-Lopez, after being accused of driving under the influence of alcohol. Birdsall-Lopez has been charged with one count of driving under the influence. According to the police investigation, the incident unfolded on Saturday, at around 2:00 a.m. Police noticed that Birdsall-Lopez did not stop her car at a stop sign and drove off the road. Police pulled her over and began to question her. At first, Birdsall-Lopez spoke in English, but then she told police that she only understands Spanish. Birdsall-Lopez admitted to having a beer at a bar. She then told officers that she had liposuction and cosmetic surgery on her breasts. She pulled down her shirt and exposed her breasts to the officers. Birdsall-Lopez was arrested after refusing to complete a field sobriety test. -<>- *-------------- Flight 666 to HEL --------------* A Finnair flight that took off Friday morning might give pause to the superstitious: Flight 666 to "HEL" on Friday the 13th. The flight departed at 1:18 p.m. local time from Copenhagen, Denmark, and landed at 3:53 at Finland's Helsinki-Vantaa airport -- which has a three-letter airport code of "HEL." An airline spokesman said Flight 666 has been making the flights to Helsinki for 11 years, and 21 of the trips took place on various Fridays the 13th. The air- line said the perceived unluckiness of the date, combined with the number 666 and the "HEL" destination, has not appeared to have any affect on passenger numbers for flights. Finnair said the flight marked the final time Flight 666 will make the trip on a Friday the 13th, as a reordering of flight data is causing the flight to be renumbered to 954. *------ Never Bring a Gun To a Gun Fight? ------* Police in Detroit released surveillance video, which showed 29-year-old Sanchez Quinn trying to rob two men, who are cousins, at gunpoint outside the Super X Market. The suspect was seen pulling a gun and pointing it at the two victims. One victim was able to push the gun away and the two victims tried to escape. At that point, Sanchez fired some shots in their direction, hitting one man. The second victim, who was a Concealed Pistol License holder and was armed, pulled his own gun and shot Sanchez. Police said that the video evidence showed that this was a case of self-defense. Sanchez will be charged after he is released from the hospital. The victim who was shot is also recovering at a hospital. *--- Five Times Your Wife's Weight Sounds About Right ---* Dozens of husbands swept their wives off their feet in Maine for the North American Wife Carrying Championships. The annual contest at the Sunday River resort in Newry, Maine, featured men carrying their wives -- usually on their backs and shoulders -- through an obstacle course that included log hurdles and a mud pit dubbed the Widow Maker due to its tendency to topple competitors. Jake and Kirsten Barney of Lexington, Va., last year's runner-ups, came out on top with a time of 58.26 seconds, two seconds ahead of last year's winners, Giana and Elliot Storey of Westbrook, Maine. The Barneys' victory earned them 12 cases of beer and five times Kirsten's weight in cash -- a total $630. The pair also qualified for the World Wife Carrying Championships in Finland, where the unusual sport originated. *---- Woman Charged With Frying Pan Murder ----* In what might be the most cliched murder in recent history, a woman is facing charges for beating of her boyfriend to death with a frying pan. It was Labor Day weekend when police were called to a convenience market. Jason Lewis, 35, was conscious, but bleeding from the head after he said he had been beaten by his girlfriend with a pair of frying pans, according to the Camden County Prosecutor. The woman, 31-year-old Maleia Cole, fled to her home about a block away. Lewis later underwent emergency surgery but later succumbed to his injuries. Cole was apprehended without incident after being charged with murder, and awaits a pre-trial detention hearing. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu u" uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu "u u" u$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$u "u u" u$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$u "u u" u$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$u "u u" u$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$u "u u" u$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$u "u $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $$$" ...

C. Sun Reported that a Durhamite had been brought before a Judge Wison in traffic court for having parked his car on a restricted street right in front of a sign that read "No Stoping." Rather than pleading guilty, the defendant argued that the missing letter in the sign meant that he had not violated the letter of the law. Brandishing a Webster's dictionary, he noted that stoping means: "Extracting ore from a stope or, loosely, underground." "Your Honor", said the man, "I am a law-abiding citizen and I didn't extract any ore from the area of the sign. I move that the case be dismissed." Acknowledging that the defendant hadn't done any illegal mining, the judge declared the man not guilty and commented, "Since this is Friday, the 13th, anything can happen, so I'll turn you loose." -<>- While I was dining out with my children, a friend of my neighbor, who recognized us, came over to our table, and we started talking. He asked where my kids go to school. I told him we home- schooled them. With a raised eyebrow, he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family. I said, "No, I also work... but out of our home." Then, noticing our two-month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby, and he wondered what hospital our son was born in. "He was born at home," I answered. The man looked at me and said, "You don't get out much, do you?" -<>- A pretty young blonde stood at the bank cashier's window and smiled. "I'd like to cash this check, please," she said, handing it over. The teller examined the check and said: "Could you identify yourself, Miss?" For a moment the lovely girl's brow creased over, then with a bright look she fumbled in her handbag and producing a mirror, glanced in it and with relief said, "Yes! It's me, all right!" The clerk said, "No Ma'am, you misunderstood me. We require a photo identification." The girl searched her bag again and found a picture with a group of people. "This is a recent family photo," she explained. "That's me, third from the left." -<>- 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!" -<>- __ _ _ ___ _ _ __ /| |\/(_ |( /( `/( )\|/\/\|/(_ \\/\//\(__|(_\(_,\(_)/\| |/\(_ /_ _/___ /_ _/_ _ __ // /( )\ // |(_)| /(_ // \(_)/ // |( )| \(_ () () () /\ | \ | Y .-. _ / \ / `-. | | ___.-' / __|___|__ | | | | | |`-.__ | _ _ | |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| _\_| |_| | | | | | | | | | | \ _/| | |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| _|/ /___\ | __|_______________| | _ _ < | | / \ | | | | | | `-. ____| |_|_ |_| | \_|<__/_|_|_|_|_|_|_\_/ \_____] _ \| _ | , \| | | | | | |/\_ | | _\_|_| |_|_|_| >][]_| _ _ | _ )\)//(_ ___|_|_|_|_| | | |\__\ / \_ /[][]_| |_| _.-" \((()/ |__________.'_|_|_|_|_|_\_ |_[][]_/ _ /_|__/ / [""] \|[_] [_].-'_ | | | | | < |_[][ | |_| \ |_ || |[_] [_< __|\ |_|_|_|_|_|/| |_[][]\ _ \/_ || |/\] [_\ |_ | | <\| | | | \_____| |_ .---. | |/\ _/ [_`-.__ |_|_/>|_|_.-' /| |_| /.-.-.\ | |)\| |[_] [_] /_.| | | | | | `-. |_[][]_| /(-)=(-)\ /|| |[_] [_] [_]| |_|_|_|_|_|_| |_[][]_ /.'\ - /`.\ / / / |[_] [_] [_]| | | | | | | | |__[]__ \__/`-'\__/____/ / / _|[_] [_] [_]| |_|_|_|_|_|_| _____/ / __ __ _____/ \___/____/____/____/____/____/ / // \_/ \/ / / \__ __/ ____ ___ _ / / \ / / _ \ /_ | _/ |_ / / / | \( ) | | | ___ /_ _/ | / /\ / | / / | | / __| / / / \ \|////[]\\\ / /_ | | _) \ / / __ \\) |~/ \ / \ /_____\/____\/___/ /_/ /_/ \_| \__/ \ U| | \ \ _____ _._ /| | \ /| / __ \ [_ _] _ | \_| \ _/ | | | |/ ___ _ __ | | _ _ _ __ _ | | |[]=\ |=[]\ | |___ / -_\|` \| || \/ ||` _)\ \| | | | \ \ \_____/\___)|_/\||_/`.__.'|_| \_ | | | \ \ ______) / | | \ \ .__ \______/ | / \ \ \_'`.__.--. ) / \ ( \ / )`-. _/[]=\ /=[]\_ >>`-'<< .-' (___/)/ \(\___) jro "' "' `-' >ACTUAL EXCERPTS FROM STUDENT SCIENCE EXAMS: Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the organ of the species. Benjamin Franklin produced electricity by rubbing cats back- wards. The theory of evolution was greatly objected to because it made man think. Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes and caterpillers. The process of turning steam back into water again is called conversation. The Earth makes one resolution every 24 hours. To collect fumes of sulfur, hold a deacon over a flame in a test tube. Algebraical symbols are used when you do not know what you are talking about. The pistol of a flower is its only protection against insects. Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire. A super-saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold. A triangle which has an angle of 135 degrees is called an obscene triangle. When you haven't got enough iodine in your blood you get a glacier. For fractures: to see if the limb is broken, wiggle it gently back and forth. To remove dust from the eye, pull the eye down over the nose. For asphyxiation: apply artificial respiration until the patient is dead. When you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide. -<>- While waiting in line at a busy airport check-in counter, I noticed a set of rambunctious little boys in front of me. As the line inched along, their mother tried in vain to get them to calm down. Finally she reached the counter, where the ticket agent asked her, "Have any of the items you plan to take with you on this flight been out of your immediate control since your arrival at the airport?" The young mother replied honestly, "The luggage, no; the children, yes." ========================================================= >-->From TheMouth: __ __ __ \ \ / / ,'__`. \ ` / / / \ \ ___ | | \ \__/ / /:;'` |_| `.__,' :::\ _________ ;:::\ _.-'',' : `.``-._ _..::::::::.._ ,-'___ ; : : ___`-. `'::::::::::'' ,',',---`. : ,'---.`.`. _):::::(_ / /,'::::::\ ,^. /::::::`.\ \ |:::::::::: / ,`--...___/ /:::\ \___...--'. \ |:::::::::| / : : /_____\ : : \ ::::::::::: : : : : : : : ;::::::::::: | : : ___ : ___ : ; | ::::::::::::| | _:..-'_'.-.\__:__/,-.`_`-..:_ | ::::::::::::: : :.--'''::::::`---'::::::```--,; ; \:::::::::;' \ \\:::::::::::::::::::::::::// / :::::::::| \ \\:::___:::::::::::___:::// / |::::::::: \ `::|--:\:::::::::/;--|:;' / ;:::::::::\ `. `' \\_______// '' ,' ::::::::::::\ `-._`. ``-----'' ,'_.-' |::::::::::::: `-.._`.___,'_..-' ;::::::::::::| ____ _ _ __ __ ____ _ _ _ __ _ ::::::::::::::| | _ \ | | | || \ / || _ \ | |/ /| || \ | | |:::::::::::::| | |_) )| | | || . ` , || |_) )| ' / | || . \| | |:::::::::::::| | __/ | |_| || |\_/| || __/ | . \ | || |\ ' | |:::::::::::::: |_| `.___,'|_| |_||_| |_|\_\|_||_| \__| ;::::::::::::::\ _ _ _____ _ ____ ::::::::|\:::::::\ | | | || ___| / \ | _ \ |:::::::||\:::::::: | |_| || |_ / _ \ | | \ \ |:::::::|| :::::::| | _ || _|_ / ___ \ | |_/ / ::::::::|| |::::::; |_| |_||_____|/_/ \_\|____/ SSt `:::::;'' ::::::/ \::;' >Top Ten Halloween Things That Sound Dirty but Aren't 10.

Nigeria apologized and said they'll pay the fines right away if we send them our bank account number, our PIN, and our mother's maiden name." -Seth Meyers "A New York fitness expert has released an exercise book for nuns called, 'Changing Habits: The Sister's Workout.' The Vatican rejected the original title, 'Nuns of Steel.'" --Conan O'Brien "The federal government is starting to plan for climate change by making extended forecasts that can help people plan for extreme weather - because what can go wrong when you combine the efficiency of government with the accuracy of weathermen?" -Jimmy Fallon "Scientists in northern California and Oregon found that marijuana gardens are threatening the salmon population. I don't see the problem, really. Everyone loves baked salmon." -Seth Meyers "Archaeologists believe they have found the tomb of St. Nicholas beneath an ancient church in Turkey. St. Nicholas, of course, is the basis for the legend of Santa Claus. And they think they found him. Which means now when my son asks me if Santa is real, I can confidently say, 'Yes! He is dead though. That's why you didn't get that bike.'" -James Corden "Researchers have published a letter from a Harvard student in 1743 asking his parents for money.
