How Sweet! Thanks Viv! ======================================================= >-->From TheFunnyBone: Get Your Flu Shot Back in December I was in the pediatrician's office with my children (I tagged along because the doctor is also my barber). I had been seeing 'Get Your Flu Shot' signs everywhere, so I asked the doc to give me one, and he obliged. He told me that I might feel slight flu symptoms for a couple of weeks, but not to worry, they would not develop into anything serious. So for two weeks I felt like I had the beginnings of the flu with a scratchy throat, tight chest and slight fever. It never became the flu though…until today. My throat is killing me, I'm congested, my chest feels like I just swallowed a gallon of sea water and everything tastes like the flu. So I called my barber, I mean my doctor, and asked him why I got the flu. He said that ___________ it probably wasn't because of the shot he [___________] gave me, but, more likely due to the blood- {=========} letting he had performed in order to get rid .-' '-. of the evil spirits. / \ /_________________\ Ah, modern medicine.

Luckily, the train stopped inches from his body; in fact, it had to be jacked off its tracks to allow his removal. When questioned, however, the driver informed officials he hadn't stopped the train. An investigation revealed that one of the passengers, unaware of the suicide attempt, had independently pulled the emergency brake. London Transport officials considered prosecuting the passenger for illegal use of the emergency brake but ultimately decided against it. George D. Bryson, a businessman from Connecticut, decided to change his travel plans and stop in Louisville, Kentucky, a place he'd never visited before. He went to a local hotel and made preparations to check into Room 307. Before he could do so, a hotel employee handed him a letter addressed to his exact name. It turned out the previous occupant of Room 307 was another George D. Bryson. One three separate occasions - in the years 1664, 1785, and 1860 - there was a shipwreck in which only one person survived the accident. Each time that one person was named Hugh Williams. In 1983, a woman told British Rail authorities about a disturbing vision she had of a fatal train crash involving an engine with the numbers 47 216. Two years later, a train had a fatal accident, similar to the one the woman had described. The engine number, however, was 47 299. Later, someone noticed that the number had previously been changed by nervous British Rail officials. The original number: 47 216. Several secret code words were devised by Allied military commanders during their preparations to invade Normandy in World War II. Among them: "Utah," "Neptune," "Mulberry," "Omaha," and "Overlord." Before the invasion could begin, however, all of these words appeared in a crossword puzzle in the London Daily Telegraph. After interrogating the puzzle's author, an English school teacher, authorities became convinced that it was sheer, inexplicable coinci- dence.

I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery. I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel or have them put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel. I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels. I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed. I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking ones nose (although cell phone usage may be taking the number one spot). Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt tripbecause I can only imagine how many gallons of Trans fats I have consumed over the years. I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom. I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans. I no longer use Saran Wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face.. Disfiguring me for life. I no longer check the coin return on pay phonesbecause I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS. I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise. I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda ,Singapore, and Uzbekistan ... I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe. THANKS TO YOU I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt. AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can't ever pick up $5.00 dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg. I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies! I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the brown recluse and my hand will fall off.

Bigham [emb] The event that changed my perspective on spiders occurred when I was a young teen. I had been noticing spider bites on my arms and legs. Not something too normal, but when it did happened I'd focus most of my energy into finding the spider in my bedroom. Usually just doing quick checks of their normal hiding areas in dark corners near the floor or ceiling would lead me to an end to the problem. Let me clue you in on something here first. I don't like spiders. I figure growing up with a Mom who had an usual fear of them was why I fear them. She'd scream and take off running which would scare me too. Before I even knew what I was afraid of, I'd often take off running with her - just to be on the safe side. /\\/\\\ ///"-'\\\ (PS) READ MORE... http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/fearfeelingkindofbuggy.html ================================================================= >-->From Our Friend Jo Ann :) ,--. ,---. / '. / \ \ ; \-| (- -) /`v'\/; ,-----/ ,---/)--.

Here is a comparison to the normal cold symptoms that was sent to me. Know the Difference between Cold and H1N1 Flu Symptoms * Fever Fever is rare with a cold. Fever is usually present with the flu in up to 80% of all flu cases. A temperature of 100°F or higher for 3 to 4 days is associated with the flu. * Coughing A hacking, productive (mucus- producing) cough is often present with a cold. A non-productive (non-mucus producing) cough is usually present with the flu (sometimes referred to as dry cough). * Aches Slight body aches and pains can be part of a cold. Severe aches and pains are common with the flu. * Stuffy Nose Stuffy nose is commonly present with a cold and typically resolves spontaneously within a week. Stuffy nose is not commonly present with the flu. * Chills Chills are uncommon with a cold. 60% of people who have the flu experience chills. * Tiredness Tiredness is fairly mild with a cold. Tiredness is moderate to severe with the flu. * Sneezing Sneezing is commonly present with a cold. Sneezing is not common with the flu. * Sudden Symptoms Cold symptoms tend to develop over a few days. The flu has a rapid onset within 3-6 hours. The flu hits hard and includes sudden symptoms like high fever, aches and pains. * Headache A headache is fairly uncommon with a cold. A headache is very common with the flu, present in 80% of flu cases. * Sore Throat Sore throat is commonly present with a cold. Sore throat is not commonly present with the flu. * Chest Discomfort Chest discomfort is mild to moderate with a cold. Chest discomfort is often severe with the flu.

At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24th, 2009, was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review "The Week" column. So here it is, word for word, as it appeared: Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting". In 2005 the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 - nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator. Oh did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator? He sure Had. Requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle! But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000? Let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20 hour a week job. And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich's wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission. My thoughts: How did this bit of quid pro quo corruption escape the sharp Reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files? Unbelievable! I hope this is forwarded so many times that the media will HAVE to cover it --- ...Yes, this is true as far as I know Jo Ann, Thanks! Here is more info as to what she did at that hospital: Now, note her hypocrisy in this piece from 2008 (and also note the names involved….Axelrod, Blogojevich, Valerie Jarrett, Tony Rezko, etc.) Sen. Barack Obama’s wife and three close advisers have been involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that steers patients who don’t have private insurance — primarily poor, black people — to other health care facilities. Michelle Obama — currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice president of the prestigious hospital — helped create the program, which aims to find neighborhood doctors for low-income people who were flooding the emergency room for basic treatment. Hospital officials say such patients hinder their ability to focus on more critically ill patients in need of specialized care, such as cancer treatment and organ transplants. Obama’s top political strategist, David Axelrod, co-owns the firm, ASK Public Strategies, that was hired by the hospital last year to sell the program — called the Urban Health Initiative — to the community as a better alternative for poor patients. Obama’s wife and Valerie Jarrett, an Obama friend and adviser who chairs the medical center’s board, backed the Axelrod firm’s hiring, hospital officials said. Another Obama adviser and close friend, Dr. Eric Whitaker, took over the Urban Health Initiative when he was hired at U. of C. in October 2007. Whitaker previously had been director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. Obama has said he recommended Whitaker for the state job, giving his name to Tony Rezko, who helped Gov. Blagojevich assemble his Cabinet. Rezko, a former fund-raiser for Obama and Blagojevich, was convicted in June on federal corruption charges tied to state deals. Medical center officials and Obama’s presidential campaign staff say the Urban Health Initiative — along with a three-year-old companion program called the South Side Health Collaborative — will dramatically improve health care for thousands of South Side residents. They say that, rather than having to wait hours at U. of C.’s emergency room, those patients get seen sooner and at less expense at neighborhood clinics and other hospitals. U. of C. even offers them a ride on a shuttle bus to other centers and sometimes provides the doctors at those facilities. “Senator Obama sees community health centers as a vital part of efforts to invest in prevention and reduce costs,” said Ben LaBolt, an Obama spokesman. But the Urban Health Initiative has critics, including South Side residents and medical professionals. “I’ve heard complaints from a handful of constituents, but I’ve also had calls from people in the health care profession complaining,” said Ald. Toni Preckwinkle, whose 4th Ward is just north of the hospital. “The medical professionals who have come to me are accusing the university of dumping patients on its neighboring institutions. … Whether it’s being implemented in the way that’s in the best interest of the patient, I can’t tell you.” {……} Axelrod’s firm did polling and found that some of the university’s primary-care doctors feared the hospital was turning its back on surrounding poor neighborhoods, according to a May 2007 report the firm gave the university.

Mitch McConnell calls "a trillion-dollar experiment that cuts Medicare, raises taxes, and threatens the health care options that millions of Americans enjoy." Yes, it is that bad. A look at the amendments that were shot-down late last week should serve as warning that unless citizens--and especially seniors get involved it stands to get much worse. Last Friday morning, Sen. Jon Kyl offered up an amendment prohibiting the federal government from limiting consumer choice. His amendment failed 9-14. With the influx of amendments and changes to the bill, Sen. John Cornyn wanted the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) to re-score it for accuracy. His amendment failed 11-12. Sen. John Ensign's amendment that any "czar" handling health care issues shall be subjected to the Senate confirmation process also failed 10-13. Everything about this plan is corrupt. Everything about this plan is designed to increase the federal government's control and power over you and I. And the ones who stand to lose the most? Senior citizens will endure reduced benefits and fewer choices. Working families who will see a sharp rise in insurance premiums (upwards of $4,500 for a family of four), and steep tax increases. Small businesses will shoulder the burden of more than $420 billion in new taxes--hamstringing growth and slowing the economy even further. + + Action: Send a Message to the Senate Finance Committee! This is not a plan for America, and as Americans it is our responsibility to tell lawmakers in Washington as much. We can't allow Congress to hash out the details of this complicated plan without being involved--every painful step of the way. Paul & Elrhea, if you haven't already scheduled your faxes, NOW is the time to take action with citizens like you who stand to take the hardest hit in this ill-conceived ObamaCare plan. To schedule personal faxes for immediate delivery to members of the Senate Finance Committee--the very members who want to take away your right to choose.

Steve Elliott, President Grassfire.org -<>- >From Ohio CONGRESSMAN BOB LATTA E-NEWSLETTER September 28, 2009 HEALTH CARE DEBATE CONTINUES IN CONGRESS During the August district work period, I attended numerous meetings across the Fifth District and met with hundreds of constituents who made it clear that they are unhappy with the way Congress is conducting the current health care debate. Democrat Congressional leadership continues to rush health care legislation through both chambers, without any real explanation. Constituents in Ohio’s Fifth District, in addition to millions of other Americans, have asked Congress to slow this process down and thoroughly examine probably one of the most important pieces of legislation Congress has debated since the New Deal. No one will argue that our nation does not need health care reform, but it is clear that Congress must start over with real bipartisan negotiations where Republicans can be included and have input into the final legislation.

[Tell Me A Story - Cops Beware] You know, pretty much every week we have a stupid criminal story of one kind or another. It's not nearly so often that we get a good stupid cop story, so when a gem like this one rolls around it makes the wait worth while. A task force of undercover drug investigators in Polk County, Florida raided the home of a convicted drug dealer looking for drugs, weapons, stolen property and other evidence. They also found a Wii entertainment system. Unfortunately for them they did not find the hidden video camera which was activated by a motion sensor. While some detectives hauled out evidence such as flat screen TVs and shotguns, others played Wii bowling. Game after game. A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking. Now there are questions on how the impromptu bowling tourna- ment might affect the case against Difalco. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd denies it will have any effect. "That absolutely is not true; that doesn't invalidate the search at all," Judd said. It will have an effect on how the public views the way their sheriff's department operates. Task force members played the game on and off for over an hour throughout the day. The game play proved to be quite competitive at times. "The nature of a search warrant is hurry up and wait," Judd said. "Am I trying to defend the fact that they were bowling, not at all. That was inappropriate." -- Pilot Accused of Stalking Ex-Girlfriend From Air ---- A California man was arrested on suspicion of stalking after he allegedly used his airplane to violate a restraining order by buzzing a neighborhood, police said. In recent weeks, Concord, California, police were in- vestigating an incident in which leaflets were dropped over a residential neighborhood, possibly by a low-flying airplane. "The leaflets referenced a specific person and contained defamatory language and racial slurs. As the investigation has progressed, it appears that the motivation behind this situation is a failed domestic relationship," the statement read. The investigation led to the identification of a possible suspect, a 51-year- old licensed pilot. Police received several calls from residents of the neighborhood reporting a low-flying private airplane in the area. Police officers responded to the airport and contacted the man after he landed his plane. It was the same man who had been served with the restraining order earlier in the day.

Verity Beman said the marsupial jumped through a window at about 2 a.m. and landed on the bed she shares with her husband, Beat Ettlin. "At first, he (Ettlin) thought it was a lunatic ninja," Beman said. "It leaped through the window, this martial-arts kind of figure. It was very Jackie Chan." Beman said they soon discovered the intruder was a 90-pound kangaroo and it began rampaging through their home. "That's when his male instinct kicked in," Beman said of her husband. Ettlin put the kangaroo in a headlock, dragged it toward the front door and ejected it from his home. Beman said her husband, who is originally from Switzerland, probably would not have confronted the kangaroo if he had been a native Australian. "They would be fully aware of the risk," she said. --- ...Reminds me of this one... Story Of LuLu http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/poems/kanga.html -<>- >In the OLD News from CoffeeBreak: China seeks sit-down toilets for Olympics Chinese officials said bathroom renovations are under way at Olympic venues after testers complained about the Asian-style squat toilets. Yao Hui, deputy head of venue management, said renovations to install Western-style sit-down commodes have started at three venues and more are being planned, the BBC reported Wednesday. "A lot of parties have raised the question of toilets ... We have told the venues to improve on this," Hui said. "Most of the Chinese people are used to the squat toilet, but nowadays more and more people demand sit-down toilets," he said. "However, it will take some time for this transition." Yao said the proportion of squat toilets to sit-down johns will vary from venue to venue. Beijing correcting its poor English Tourism officials in Beijing have hired linguists to do away with poorly translated English signs ahead of the upcoming Olympic Games. The Beijing Municipal Tourism Bureau is working to correct the language on the signs, which have long amused Anglophone visitors to the city with poorly worded translations, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday. The bureau has also instructed city businesses to provide proper English translations of signs, menus and notices. The city has given restaurant owners a list of commonly mistranslations -- including "steamed crap" and "burnt lion's head" -- along with the correct English names of the dishes -- steamed crabs and Chinese pork meatballs, respectively. "These translations either scare or embarrass foreign customers and may cause misunderstanding on China's diet habits," the state news agency said. Other mistranslations on Beijing signs include a notice welcoming visitors to "Racist Park," which would translate more accurately to the Park of Ethnic Minorities, and wet road warnings that inform motorists that "the slippery are very crafty." Forgotten goodbye leads to rescue An Ohio man saved his fiancee and infant son from a fire after he nearly drove away to work but returned to kiss the baby goodbye. Kevin Roy said he realized while pulling out of his driveway Tuesday morning that he had forgotten to kiss his 1-year-old son, Koby, goodbye, WLWT-TV, Cincinnati, reported Wednesday. "I just wanted to tell him I loved him before I left," Roy said. "I pulled up to the end of the driveway and thought, 'I want to go in and tell him bye,' because I normally do. It's just something I do on a daily basis, so I decided to go back in." Roy said his house was filled with smoke when he walked back in the door. He said he was able to locate and wake his sleeping fiancee, Ashley Swingley, but Koby's room was filled with so much smoke that the parents could not see inside. "I couldn't even see into his room, and I just grabbed him and ran outside," said Swingley. The fire, which destroyed the house and nearly all of its contents, is under investigation. ============================================================== >-->From JokeCentral: >PUN POETRY __.._ ____...-` \ /``'-.. `~-..`(.-~~~| / `-. : : ,``. .<____/ `:_ ` `..` .` / / \ /:`-. `. `. ,` / \_.'.`.,,: |`._`-.__\_.-``.-' `._ `.,,`-`....-.`~`.'`. c `.

I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario. I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but not allowed to drive without a seat belt. All the money I make up until mid July must go to paying taxes. I live and work among people who believe Americans are ignorant. These same people cannot name this country's capital Although I am sometimes forced to live on Kraft Dinner, and don't have a pot to piss in, I sleep well, knowing that I've helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled Chinese refugee. Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate, Quebec still provides my nation's Prime Ministers. 95 percent of my nation's international conflicts are over fish. I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians. Although I'm sure none of them have ever been to Africa, or east of Halifax for that matter. I believe that paying a 200 percent tax on alcohol is fair. Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my grandfather gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if I don't register it. I DO know Jeff from Toronto. I often badmouth the United States, and then vacation there three times a year. I'm led to believe that some lazy a#@ unionized bus driver who makes 30 dollars an hour or a teacher being paid twice that believes they are underpaid, and therefore must go on strike, but paying 8.00 dollars an hour to someone who works 12 hour shifts at McDonalds, Is that really fair. I believe that paying 30 million for 3 stripes (The Voice of Fire) by the National Gallery was a good purchase, even though 99 percent of this country didn't want it. Or will ever see it. When I look at my pay stub and realize that I take home a third of what I actually make. I say "Oh well, at least we have better health care than the Americans". I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too dry, because I control the rain. My National Anthem has versions in both official languages. And I don't know either of them. Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination for fleeing boat people. I am not an angry white male. I am an angry broke taxpayer. My name is Bob, and I AM CANADIAN. >From Curd Hos - and may I add, well written! - J.R. --- ...And the date? 1/15/03 -<>- _(\ _____ / .| >==.'| | 'TK \_| Zeus / | | | \/ |_ | | |__| / \|__|__/ \ \__/ \__/ >[JOKE]Hey Hector, This was forwarded to me by Cassandra--it looks legit. Please distribute to Priam, Hecuba, and your 99 siblings. Thanks, Laocoon TO: Trojan Army Listserv RE: WARNING!! BEWARE GREEKS BEARING GIFTS! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! IF YOU RECEIVE A GIFT IN THE SHAPE OF A LARGE WOODEN HORSE DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!!! It is EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE and will overwrite your ENTIRE CITY! The "gift" is disguised as a large wooden horse about two stories tall. It tends to show up outside the city gates and appears to be abandoned. DO NOT let it through the gates! It contains hardware that is incompatible with Trojan programming, including a crowd of heavily-armed Greek warriors that will destroy your army, sack your town, and kill your women and children. If you have already received such a gift, DO NOT OPEN IT! Take it back out of the city unopened and set fire to it by the beach. FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Poseidon Dearest Laocoon : I hate to break to you, but this is one of the oldest hoaxes there is. I've seen variants on this warning come through on other listservs, one involving some kind of fruit that was supposed to kill the people who ate it and one having to do with something called the "Midas Touch." Here are a few tipoffs that this is a hoax: 1) This "Forward this message to everyone you know" stuff. If it were really meant as a warning about the Greek army, why tell anyone to post it to the Phoenicians, Sumerians, and Cretans? 2) Use of exclamation points. Always a giveaway. 3) It's signed "from Poseidon." Granted he's had his problems with Odysseus but he's one of their guys, isn't he? Besides, the lack of a real header with a detailed address makes me suspicious. 4) Technically speaking, there is no way for a horse to overwrite your entire city. A horse is just an animal, after all. Next time you get a message like this, just delete it. I appreciate your concern, but once you've been around the block a couple times you'll realize how annoying this kind of stuff is. Bye now, Hector --- ...Refer to Top of this email 'from our friend Sandi' Hmmm, History does tend to repeat itself, eh? -<>- An American was golfing at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. He slices his opening drive out of bounds onto the beach, so he tees another one up and smacks it right down the middle. The golfer turns to his old Scottish caddy and tells him that in America that is called a "Mulligan" and asks him if there is a name for it in Scotland. The caddy replies, "AYE, we call it a three." -<>- Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. "Johnny, wait until we say our prayer," his mother reminded him. "I don't have to," the little boy replied. "Of course you do," his mother insisted, "we say a prayer before eating at our house." "That's at our house," Johnny explained, "but this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!" -<>- A kindly 90-year-old grandmother found buying presents for family and friends a bit much one Christmas, so she wrote out checks for all of them to put in their Christmas cards. In each card she wrote, "Buy your own present" and then sent them off. After the Christmas festivities were over, she found the checks in er desk! Everyone had gotten a Christmas card from her with "Buy your own present" written inside, but without the checks! ============================================================ >-->From AndyChaps: .-------------------- | | ,-""-. /) | / c/-} // | ( ,--)T-. // | `/ ,_) )\__,-/ | / /. \'_,-"< | / / ) _`).__ | _/,' ( ""-."-. |'-/ _/`-----. ),' |o!O '"-'"""----" >** Simple rules for women that will help us all get along better ** (Andy says... some are old... some are new, but it's just for fun anyway!) 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. 2. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see If we can find the perfect present yet again! 3. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it! 4. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, and NASCAR. 5. Sunday=sports like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 6. Shopping is N0T a sport and no, we are never going to think of it that way. 7. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really! 8. Crying is blackmail. 9. Ask for what you want Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it! 10 We don’t remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand. 11. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pairs out of thirty would look good with your dress? 12. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 13. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solv- ing it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girl- friends are for. 14. A headache that lasts for l7 months is a problem See a doctor. 15. Check your oil! Please. (My personal favorite!...hehehe) 16. Anything we said 6 months ago is in-admissable in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 18. If you wont dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys. 19. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 20. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic. 21. You can either ask us how to do something or tell us how you want it done....not both! If you already know best how to do it just do it yourself. 22. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 23. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. 24. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out Get over it! And quit whining about to your girlfriends. 25. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 26. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 27. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you. 28. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 29. I’m in shape. ROUND is a shape. -<>- ** Short Takes ** "Doc, I always have the feeling that people don't like me and that they're out to get me. Does that mean I have an inferiority complex or a persecution complex?" "Neither. It means your personality stinks." -<>- ** Second Opinion ** A man has not been feeling well and goes to the doctor for a check up. After the physical examination and a battery of blood tests and X-rays, he asks the doctor about his situation. The doctor replies, "You are very sick. You might not live longer than perhaps three or four months." The man, in despair, yet, with a glimpse of hope says, "If you don't mind, doctor, I would like to have a second opinion." "Okay," the doctor answers, "you're ugly, too!" -<>- ** A Swiss guy visiting Sydney, Australia, pulls up at a bus stop where two locals are waiting. "Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Aussies just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue to stare. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first Aussie turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language." "Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good." -<>- ,-----.

He asked what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general. The dad replied, "Well, let me think a minute ... I was born before television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill. There was no radar, credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens. Man had not invented pantyhose, dishwashers, clothes dryers, (clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air) electric blankets, air conditioners, and he hadn't walked on the moon. Your Mom and I got married first -- and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother, and every boy over 14 had a rifle that his dad taught him how to use and respect. And they went hunting and fishing together. Until I was 25, I called every man older than I, 'Sir' and after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, 'Sir.' Sundays were set aside for going to church as a family, helping those in need, and visiting with family or neighbors. (I miss that most) We were before, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living here was a bigger privilege. We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors when the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends -- not purchasing condominiums. We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radio. And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan' on it, it was junk. The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5 & 10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents. Ice cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel. And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon. In my day, 'grass' was mowed, 'coke' was a cold drink, 'pot' was something your mother cooked in, and 'rock music' was your grandmother's lullaby. 'Aids' were helpers in the Principal's office, 'chip' meant a piece of wood, 'hardware' was found in a hardware store, and 'software' wasn't even a word. And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap ... and I am only 68 years old. -<>- .---.

A repeat to go along with the above) Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than ten years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half." You're never 36 and a half...you're four and a half going on 5. You get into your teens; now they can't hold you back. You jump into the next number. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16." Then the great day of your life; you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21...Yes!!! Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. HE TURNED; we had to throw him out. What's wrong? What changed? You BECOME 21; you TURN 30. Then you're PUSHING 40....stay over there. You REACH 50. So you BECOME 21; you TURN 30; you're PUSHING 40; you REACH 50; then you MAKE IT to 60. By then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70. After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday... You get into you're 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30. My grandmother won't even buy green bananas. "Well, it's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one." And it doesn't end there... Into the 90's, you start going backwards. "I was JUST 92." Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half." And remember - growing old is only mind over matter: if you don't mind, it don't matter... =============================================================== . . /// ____J) (//<_ -__ \ Y .--' \ ` / / ` / ' |\ __ ' /.

You wonder why more people don't wear high heels, Jordache jeans and lacy white ankle socks. You call all motorcycle cops "Ponch." You think there should be a Kids Incorporated original cast reunion. You can sing the theme song to Small Wonder. You write your congressman asking him to introduce a bill to make "Born in the USA" the national anthem. Someone mentions Jennifer Beals and you don't say "Who?" You know whose number is 867-5309. You still watch things on Beta. You saw the New Kids on the Block when they were Tiffany's opening act.
