Thanks Ladies! ======================================================= >-->From TheFunnyBone: Two Priests Meet In Heaven Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?" .------._ The first priest says, "I've .-"""`-.<') `-._ always wanted to be an eagle, (.--. _ `._ `'---.__.-' soaring above the Rocky ` `;'-.-' '- ._ Mountains." .--'`` '._ - ' . `""'-. `---' , "So be it," says St. Peter, and `\ off flies the first priest. `\ .' `'. ' The second priest mulls this over for jgs `'. a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter ?" "No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing." "In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud." "So be it" says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears. A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks. "The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult." "Why ?" asketh the Lord. "He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota." ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ November 25 is National Parfait Day November 26 is Shopping Reminder Day November 27 is Pins And Needles Day November 28 is Make Your Own Head Day November 29 is Square Dance Day November 30 is Stay At Home Because You're Well Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: , |\ | `-._,="""=, \ //o.-)-.\ \ ||/:/:\:\-. `. \\\:\:/:/o_), jgs `->>>8888>;(_)o.-' >Home-Fix-It Because our new refrigerator was taller than our old one, I told my wife I'd have to cut away part of an overhanging cabinet to make it fit. Not wanting to mess it up, I called a local radio home-fix-it program for advice. I was in the middle of getting the instructions when my wife burst into the room. "You won't believe this," she said, "But there's a guy on the radio with the same problem!" -<>- >Missing Dog One overcast evening I passed the principal of our local high school who was out looking for his missing dog, a Lassie look-alike. He told me the dog often ran away, so he had put a metal tag on its collar asking that anyone finding the dog send it home in a taxi. A few days later I again met the principal, and he told me that as he was trudging home during a downpour that night, his snug and dry dog had passed him in a taxi. -<>- >Payback I live in New Jersey and I'm used to having people cut me off on the highway. But this one time I was cut off by a convertible -- he missed my car by inches -- and the driver made an obscene gesture to boot. Still steamed, I noticed that we had gotten off at the same exit and the convertible's driver had pulled into an office complex parking lot. I pulled my car over and waited for the driver to leave the parking lot and enter the building. Then I entered the lot and pulled up next to the car. Well, as my luck would have it, I had just made a stop at the supermarket and had a loaf of bread that I was willing to donate to the cause. So I did. I tore up a few slices of bread and threw the pieces into the front and back seats of the open convertible. Then I drove off out of the lot and pulled off across the street to watch. -<>- >Price Scanner In our local large store, customers often ask the clerks to direct them to the right department. One evening a woman stopped and asked where she'd find a scanner to check a price. Pointing to the automotive section, the clerk said, "See that tall pole with the red flashing lights? That's where the scanner is." "Oh, my," she replied. "Don't you have one a little closer to the floor?" -<>- >Warranty I had just about decided to buy the television set whose attributes the young salesman had been extolling. He concluded by saying it carried only a one-year warranty but that I could buy a five-year warranty at an additional cost. I won't buy anything that doesn't carry a five-year warranty and so turned to leave. The salesman asked me to please stay while he consulted with his boss. "By the way," he continued, "may I ask your age?" "Eighty-three," I replied. He returned a moment later smiling. "We'll give you a lifetime warranty." ========================================================= >-->Thanksgiving SMILES: __ __ /--\ __ |.-\| |/-.| .--\ | | /--. _\;` \ ;__; / `;/_ /`/'. ;'` `'; .'\`\ \_\ '/ a__a \' /_/ //'-._| ('') |_.-'\\ '>_ \_ \/ _/ _<' /( `'.-./'/\'\.-.'` )\ '-='/ |:(__);| \'=-' `-| /;:;:;:\ |-` | /;:;:;:::\ | jgs \/;;:;:;;:;;\/ `::;:;::;` \;/\;/ ___)||(___ (((--)(--))) ``` ``` >Thanksgiving Riddles Q: What do you get when you have a turkey on the beach with Broomhilda?

Great Info! Thanks Linda! ============================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: Who knows what kind of potential lies locked away in the human brain waiting, perhaps, for some jolt to 'knock' it loose? Remember how Bruce Banner was turned into the Incredible Hulk by gamma rays? Well, this Colorado teenager experienced some- thing similar, except instead of a freak exposure to gamma radiation he cracked his skull open while playing lacrosse, and instead of turning into a giant, green rage monster, he developed innate musical talent. Lachlan Connors was in the sixth grade when he hit his head on the ground and sustained a concussion. Although he began to display "concerning behaviors," he was allowed to return to sports. Soon after, another concussion sent him to the hospital for weeks and Connors began suffering from epileptic seizures and mini-hallucinations. It was while recovering from this second injury that he realized he could suddenly play music with little effort. According to his mother Connors had displayed no musical talent before the accident. But now a junior in high school, Connors plays 13 instruments, including bagpipes, piano, guitar, mandolin, and karimba (what- ever that is). Connors cannot read music and plays all of the instruments by ear. And while some do question whether or not a brain injury helped uncover his talent, Connors believes it did. "I honestly think something got rewired," he said. *-- Man who wore crack shirt to court gets 3 years for drug charges --* FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A Florida man who wore a sweatshirt bearing a recipe for crack cocaine to court pleaded no contest to narcotics trafficking charges. Christopher Patterson, 27, who previously served time for felony cocaine possession, entered no contest pleas Tuesday in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom to distribution and conspiracy charges related to the sale of the painkiller Oxycodone to an undercover investigator, The Smoking Gun reported Thursday. Patterson, who sentenced to three years in prison, was photographed in a courtroom last year wearing a hooded sweatshirt bearing a cartoon-like recipe for crack cocaine and a caption reading, "Stack Paper Say Nothing." The sweatshirt had a zipper pull in the shape of a handgun. The picture was taken by a lawyer who noticed the sweatshirt's images in the courtroom. *-- Teen says beaver stole his hunting rifle --* MADAWASKA, Maine - A Maine teenager said a beaver stole his rifle and dragged it underwater when he took a break from hunting to use the restroom. Nathan Baron, a student at Madawaska High School, said he was hunting Monday near his home when he decided to pop into the house for a bathroom break, the Bangor (Maine) Daily News reported Thursday. "I walked out of the woods and got on my four-wheeler and I went home," he said. Baron said he returned a short time later and noticed his Remington .30-06 rifle, which he had left leaning against a tree, was missing. He said he quickly searched the area. "There was a stream that was running about 100 feet away from me. I look, and there's a beaver hauling that gun into the water," he said. Baron said it was too late to rescue his rifle. "There was nothing I could do," he said. "The gun was in the water and the beaver went under. That was it." Baron admitted the story may seem unlikely. "My close friends don't believe me, but all the other kids in school believe me," he said. The teenager said he is hoping to obtain proof of the incident by getting the gun back. "I'm trying to get my gun back," he said. "If there are beaver marks on it, I'm going to hang it on the wall of my garage [so others can come and see it]." *-- Man called police to remove snoring woman from his bed --* WAUKESHA, Wis. - Police in Wisconsin said a man called 911 to demand officers remove a snoring woman whose name he didn't know from his bed. Waukesha police said local man Benjamin Duddles called 911 around 4:21 a.m. Nov. 10 and said he needed officers to remove a woman who was "snoring like a train" in his bed, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday. Duddles, who admitted he had been drinking, told the dispatcher he could not remember the woman's name and he had brought her home because they had been "talking." Duddles held the phone up in his bedroom to give a sample of the snoring sounds to the dispatcher, who sent officers to the home. The officers woke the woman, who told police she suffers from sleep apnea, a condition that can cause loud snoring. The police report said officers told Duddles they would not forcibly remove the woman from his apartment. "He was advised this was not a police matter because he allowed her in. He was provided the comfort of his couch for the evening and to work out the 'issue' in the morning," the report said. *-- Police: Man posed as U.S. marshal to get discounted doughnuts --* NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Police in Florida said they arrested a man accused of posing as a U.S. Marshal to get a discount at a Dunkin' Donuts. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office spokesman Douglas Tobin said a suspicious store clerk at the Dunkin' Donuts in New Port Richey alerted the office to a man who frequented the eatery and used a badge to support his claim of being a U.S. marshal to get discounts on doughnuts, ABC News reported Thursday. "Yesterday, we had an undercover deputy in the store," Tobin said. "He usually comes in at the same time. This time, he didn't show his badge, but we had enough reason to arrest him." The man, Charles Barry, 48, was found to have a .38-caliber revolver in his pocket Tuesday and ammunition in his vehicle, Tobin said. Barry, who investigators said used his late father's New Jersey police badge for his Dunkin' Donuts ruse, was arrested Tuesday on charges of impersonating a law enforcement officer and improper exhibition of a firearm or dangerous weapon. He was released after posting $5,150 bail. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseA :} _,, _.-'` ',\ \ .-;`'(,____ \.-'\ _\-` __.-; \_.-'_.-'0 \/ / .'0 __ | /_.' .'o \ / .-. ,;--._\___/--. __./ | .-/ \ ^_> |\ /\ \ / <;/ \ \_/ |___/__\__|` <; | |) \ o ( <; |__.\ |o \ <; \ \ / o _\ <\.)-'`| =====""` \ /\__/__/^\____.-; | | | | | / \____|\____/ |===||===| jgs __/[](_||__l[]_ / || '. \ '-----'-''-'-.__/ >Blonde Men!!!

Examining the other's doll buggy and baby, each exclaimed, "Oh what a pretty baby and baby buggy you have. Where did you get your baby and what did it cost?" "My Mommy got mine at a sale at a Super K Mart store for $32.95" "Oh that's great!.. She's so pretty." "Well thank you. And where did you get your baby? She's such a beautiful little doll." "Mommy got mine at WalMart for $32.04, the last one they had." "Well she is certainly beautiful. You must be very proud of her." Just then a real mommy came by with her firstborn. Naturally the oo's and aa's started ending with the same question, 'where did you get your baby and how much did he cost?' "Well, I got my baby at the Sutter Maternity Hospital and it cost about $15,000." The two little girls were stunned. The group broke up, the real mommy walked on. Finally one of the little girls turned to the other and said, "You know, I don't know what you think about that deal, but if you ask me, she REALLY got screwed!" -<>- I was working in a scrap yard during summer vacation at engineering university. I used to work repairing construction equipment. One afternoon, I was taking apart a piling hammer that had some very large bolts holding it together. One of the nuts had corroded on to the bolt; to free it I started heating the nut with an oxy-acetylene torch. As I was doing this, one of the dimmest apprentices I have ever known came along. He asked me what I was doing. I patiently explained that if I heated the nut it would grow larger and release its grip on the bolt so I could then remove it. "So things get larger when they get hot, do they?" he asked. Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind. "Yes," I said, "that's why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter." There was a long pause, then his face cleared. "You know, I always wondered about that," he said. -<>- {An Et-Ahem!} She walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching post. As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, "Hey old woman, have you ever danced?" The old woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to." A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old bag, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old woman's feet. The old woman prospector -- not wanting to get her toes blown off -- started hopping around. Everybody was laughing. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old woman turned to her pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately. The young gunslinger heard the sounds, too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old woman and the large gaping holes of those twin shotgun barrels. The barrels of that shotgun never wavered in the old woman's hands, as she quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?" The gunslinger blinked a few times, swallowed hard, and said, "No m'am...but... I've always wanted to." Now pay attention, there are a few lessons here for all of us: 1 - Don't be arrogant. 2 - Never waste ammunition. 3 - Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are. 4 - Always, always make sure you know who has the power. 5 - Don't mess with old women; they didn't get old by being stupid. --- ...LOL!

On our first day of training, the instructor made an important point about preparing for landing at 300 feet. "How do you know when you're at 300 feet?" asked one woman. "A good question," replied the instructor. "At 300 feet you can recognize the faces of people on the ground."

Benjamin Franklin produced electricity by rubbing cats backwards. 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.

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 JokeCentral: .---. |_X_| ___ [_____] / _ \ // \\ | / \ | | " | || " || __\___/__ __\\_//__ /\_______/\ / | U | \/ _ : _ \ ( (|___|) )/ \ : / \ \ \_ / \ _/ \ /=====\ / / /| |\ './___:___\.' ; | | ; | | | | | | | | | | | \_____/ | |--|--| '._______.' |LI|LI| jgs \/ \/ \_/ \_/ >The Cameron Column # 193 A FREE Internet Newsletter brought to you by W. Bruce Cameron in violation of the terms of his parole. Write to me at Bruce@wbrucecameron.com -------------------------------------- >The Wrong Number Copyright 2003 W. Bruce Cameron http://www.wbrucecameron.com/ Few people are aware of this, but I could easily have been one of the world's great concert pianists, had I decided to ignore my passion for storytelling and writing humor and instead learned to play the piano. My fingers possess such a nimble dexterity that even as a child, my music teachers would gush that in me they had found one of those special students who, in their words, "could type." I am sure that by deciding to adopt the qwerty keyboard instead of the sort mastered by the likes of Johannes Brahmas and Ludwig Rollover Beethoven, I have deprived the world of great musical masterpieces, which you would think the Pulitzer Committee would take into consideration once in a while, not that I'm interested in their stupid prize anyway. With such amazing capability literally at my fingertips, I am, as you would suspect, not only an extremely gifted typist, but also very adroit at using the telephone as well. I've never in my life misdialed a number, which is why I can report to you that there is something seriously amiss with our local phone company: Despite my deadly accuracy, I seem to be connected to the wrong party with ever-increasing frequency. Case in irritating point: The other day I was calling my mechanic, and was startled when instead of his greeting message (Hello, this is Melvin Walletdrainer. I can't come to the phone right now because I am busy translating Bruce's income into some greasy car parts. Leave a message at the tone...), a woman answered. "Hello?" She seemed suspicious. "Hi, is this...is this Melvin's?" "Who? What? How did you get this number? You're not supposed to be calling here, this is an unlisted number!" And with that, she slammed the phone down. I thought about this for a moment and decided I was dissatisfied with how the conversation had ended. I pushed "redial." "Hello?" "Yes, Ma'am, I phoned just a minute ago? You see, the thing is, I wasn't calling YOU. There have been some recent malfunctions--" "You weren't calling me?" she interrupted. I decided to let her rudeness pass. "Right. I wasn't trying to reach you." "Twice?" she demanded, her voice rising. "Well no, the second time I actually meant to call you, because--" "Do I know you?" "Well..." I gave a modest laugh. "You've probably heard of me, because I write a newspaper col--" "Stop calling me!" she bellowed, hanging up with a loud click. This struck me as being intolerably uncivil. I connected again. "Hello?" She sounded suspicious. "Hi, look, you don't seem to understand how this technology works, here. See--" "Just a minute, you can talk to my son," she snarled. Well, good, someone who would understand what was going on. "Hello?" "Hi, I--" "Look here, buddy, you've got a lot of nerve harassing my mother." "Sorry?" "I ought to come over there and punch you in the nose, you pervert." "Pervert!" "You better apologize or you'll be saying you're sorry." "I... What? Look, in the first place, you can't come punch me in the nose, which by the way would be very unwise for your physical health, because you don't even know where I live." "Do too. I have caller ID." "Well, that doesn't tell you where I live." "Does too." I hesitated. Could this be true? Perhaps I'd better calm this guy down. "There's no need for any of that. I was simply calling your mother to tell her I was connected to her by mistake." "You mean you called her two times to tell her you dialed the wrong number?" "Well, yes, except, well, no. You see, I have these nimble fingers--" "You got to be the stupidest human on the face of the earth. I never heard of anyone so stupid. You're dumber than a, like--what are those animals that stand there eating grass?" "Cows?" "No, not cows, you idiot! I know what a cow is." "Well your mother's no genius either; she said her number was unlisted, as if--" "No one calls my mother stupid! I'm on my way over, buddy. What's your address?" "Ha!" I barked, slamming down the receiver. So you can see my complaint: This telephonic malfunction very nearly led to me being forced to put some jerk in the hospital. I trust that the FCC will look into the matter.
