"Father, I am going to marry!" His father begins to dance with joy and sing Hava Nagila... "Tell me, is she a good Jewish girl?" says the father. "What is her name?" "O'Brien" replies the son... "She's Catholic..." "Oy!" says the father.... "But are you happy?" "I'm happy," says the son.. "Ok...as long as you're happy.... my blessings to you both," replies Moisha. But the father is still counting on his remaining sons, Schlemiel and Chutzpah... Schlemiel calls on his father the next evening, "Father... I too will be married soon!" Again, Moisha breaks out in a dance and sings God's praises... "What is her name," implores the father? "Kazalopodopolous," says the son. "She's Greek Orthodox..." "Oy," says Moisha... "But are you happy?" "I'm happy, father..." "Ok... then you, too, have my blessing," intones Moisha... Dejected, Moisha goes to the Temple to pray.. "Please God... let my remaining son Chutzpah marry a nice Jewish girl... to raise nice Jewish children in your eyes ... PLEASE!" Chutzpah comes to his father excitedly and exclaims, "Father! I am to wed in the spring!" "Her NAME? WHAT IS HER NAME" his father immediately demands? "Goldberg!" says Chutzpah! Moisha is beside himself with joy! "Praise God! Praise the Prophets!" Turning to Chutzpah, he asks, "Is she Doctor Goldberg's daughter Shelley, from Los Angeles?" "No..." says Chutzpah... "Hmmm," says Moisha... "Must be Attorney Goldberg's daughter Rachel from Hollywood?" "Ah...no, father" says Chutzpah... "Well, then, what is her first name, my youngest, truest, most beautiful Son?" "Whoopi." says Chutzpah. ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ July 21 is National Junk Food Day July 22 is Hammock Day July 23 is National Hot Dog Day and Vanilla Ice Cream Day July 24 is Cousins Day July 25 is Threading the Needle Day July 26 is Aunt and Uncle Day July 27 is Take Your Pants for a Walk Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: .-----. .'`-. / ,-- | .- `-. ,' ,-' `. _.-' ,-.`.) ; / ,=---`--+' .- -. `.

I went off to see the hostess about reserving a table. When I returned, I found my 10-year-old granddaughter staring at a poster of Superman standing in a phone booth. She looked puzzled. "She doesn't know who Superman is?" I asked my husband. "Worse," he replied. "She doesn't know what a phone booth is." -<>- >Dow Bowl I was shopping in a pet store when I overheard a woman singing the praises of a particular water bowl to her husband. "Look, it even has a water filter!" she concluded, holding the doggie dish out for her husband's inspection. He had a slightly different take on things: "Dear, he drinks out of the toilet." -<>- >McDonalds My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "You gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back." She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at Mickie-D's. Or do. Who knows, you might get lucky. -<>- >On the Scale It's my job to weigh and measure the children who come in to the doctor's office where I work. After several unsuccessful attempts to get one frightened three- year-old onto the scale, her mother said, "Honey, Mommy has a scale at home. Do like I do and stand on it." Recognition dawned on the child's face and she confidently stepped on the scale, looked down and exclaimed, "Oh, darn!" -<>- >Pain Scale When a patient was wheeled into our emergency room, I was the nurse on duty. "On a scale of zero to ten," I asked her, "with zero representing no pain and ten representing excruciating pain, what would you say your pain level is now?" She shook her head. "Oh, I don't know. I'm not good with math." ========================================================= >-->Story Time From Our Friend Linda :) __ /\/'-, ,--''''' /" ____,'. ) \___ '"""""------'"""`-----' pb >Dogs Know Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one! Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys. Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box. It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease......in fact; she was just sure it was fatal. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her....what would happen to Lucky? Although the three- year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death. The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable. Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love. Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure. Remember.....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us. If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply.. Love seriously. Care deeply.. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. A small request All you are asked to do is keep this circulating. Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer in JESUS CHRIST'S NAME Amen All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it is only to one more person, in memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by cancer or is still fighting their battle. --- ...Aww, such a heartwarming story! Thank You Linda! I lost my mom and sister and many friends to cancer. I pray God gives us more and more means to fight it! Dear God: May all our love ones with cancer now be healed in the Name of Jesus Christ and remain cancer free!

I do all this while trying to forget I'm in a classroom. Of course, it would be so much easier without everyone yelling at me to keep teaching. -------- The mother-in-law arrives home from the shops to find her son-in-law Paddy in a steaming rage and hurriedly packing his suitcase. "What happened Paddy ?" she asks anxiously. "What happened!! I'll tell you what happened. I sent an email to my wife telling her I was coming home today from my fishing trip. I get home... and guess what I found? Yes, your daughter, my wife Jean, naked with Joe Murphy in our marital bed! This is unforgivable, the end of our marriage. I'm done. I'm leaving forever!" "Ah now, calm down, calm down Paddy!" says his mother-in-law. "There is something very odd going on here. Jean would never do such a thing! There must be a simple explanation. I'll go speak to her immediately and find out what happened." Moments later, the mother-in-law comes back with a big smile. "Paddy. I told you there must be a simple explanation .......she never got your E-mail!" ------- A very large, old, building was being torn down in Chicago to make room for a new skyscraper. Due to its proximity to other buildings it could not be imploded and had to be dismantled floor by floor. While working on the 49th floor, two construction workers found a skeleton in a small closet behind the elevator shaft. They decided that they should call the police. When the police arrived they directed them to the closet and showed them the skeleton fully clothed and standing upright. They said, "This could be Jimmy Hoffa or somebody really important." Two days went by and the construction workers couldn't stand it any more, they had to know who they had found. They called the police and said, "We are the two guys who found the skeleton in the closet and we want to know if it was Jimmy Hoffa or somebody important." The police said, "It's not Jimmy Hoffa, but it was somebody kind of important." "Well, who was it?" "The 1956 National Hide-and-Seek Champion." ------- A senior citizen goes to his doctor and says, "Doctor, I have sex only once a week." The doctor asks, "How old are you ?" The patient replies "Seventy-five. " Wait now. You're 75 and have sex once a week. I think that's wonderful. What are you complaining about ?" "My neighbor is almost eighty years old, and he says he has sex three times a week, every week." The doctor smiled and said, "I can easily solve your problem. From now on, you say the same thing." -------- An old man visits his doctor and after thorough examination the doctor tells him: "I have good news and bad news, what would you like to hear first?" Patient: "Well, let me have the bad news first." Doctor: "You have cancer, I estimate that you have about two years left." Patient: "Oh no! That's just awful! In two years my life will be over! What kind of good news could you probably tell me, after this?" Doctor: "You also have Alzheimer's. In about three months you are going to forget everything I told you." -------- Calling on an attractive coed, the theology professor asked, "Who was the first man?" "If it's all the same to you, sir," replied the embarrassed coed, "I'd rather not tell." -------- There was this Magician on a ship performing every night. Not noticing, the captains parrot watches him every night as he performs the same tricks. After watching him, the parrot finds out how he does it and started to tell the audience. After the parrot told the audience, the ship hit an iceberg and started to sink. Everyone ran to the life boats. It so happen that the Magician went overboard and managed to hold one a flat piece of board that the parrot was on. After three days of staring at each other the parrot finally says "Ok, what did you do with the ship?" -------- A man who was riding on a bus went up to the driver and whispered in his ear, "That man back there sitting across from us is scaring my wife and children to death. He's crazy! He claims he is George Washington." "Thanks for telling me, mister," the bus driver said. "I'll take care of him." At the next stop the driver shouted loud and clear, "This stop, Mt. Vernon." -------- A lawyer was cross-examining a witness. "You have just testified that you heard the shot at exactly 11:32 p.m.? How did you know what time it was? Did you look at your watch?" "No," the witness said. "I looked at the sundial in the garden." "That's stupid," screamed the lawyer. "How could you tell time by a sundial at 11:32 at night?" "I had a flashlight," the witness said. ------- The owner of a bar is just locking up for the night when there is a knock at the door. He opens the door and there's a snail sitting on the doorstep. "What do you want?" asks the owner. "I want a beer," says the snail. "First of all, we're closed, and second of all, we don't serve snails. So go away!" The snail begs and pleads for a beer. The owner finally gets fed up, kicks the snail, and slams the door. ONE YEAR LATER.... The owner of a bar is just locking up for the night when there is a knock at the door. He opens the door and there's a snail sitting on the doorstep. "What'd you do that for?" asks the snail. --- ...Oh My! LOL! Thanks LouiseA! ============================================================== >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: Well, apparently black is white, up is down, east is west, your vote counts, and the world is a more tranquil place thanks to President O'Bama's administration. This was the revelation made by White House press secretary Josh Earnest earlier this week during a press briefing. Ignoring the near collapse of Iraq, the veritable civil war in Syria, the crisis in Iran, the bombings in Israel (and the subsequent retaliations), the usurpation of the Ukraine, the territorial disputes in the South China Sea, the spying scandal with Germany, not to mention the unprecedented flood of illegal aliens fleeing South and Central America for the U.S. border, no, according to The White House the world is is becoming more tranquil place day-by-day. And this, folks, is how 'doublespeak' works. While anybody who can read the news knows in his or her rational mind that the world right now is boiling with unrest and conflict, they hear the voice of authority say the exact opposite and a conflict of two realities is set up in their mind. They may know it is an "untruth", but a subtle form of brain- washing is taking place. In politics perception is reality, so if you spread the same lie, even if it is an obvious and barefaced lie, it will gain some traction and the 'perception' will grow. Either that or the president's staff is completely delusional. Or I am. -<>- Police say a drunk man at San Francisco International Airport posed as a TSA agent and patted down two women in a screening area. The 53-year-old was a ticketed passenger who had passed through a security checkpoint and began drinking at an airport lounge. After a few hours, he approached a female traveler and convinced her to go into a private booth with him. The man somehow obtained plastic blue gloves, and he looked the part of a TSA agent because he was wearing khaki pants and a blue polo shirt. Officers said it is unclear what exactly happened inside the private booth but they think he may have groped the woman. TSA agents later spotted the man as he took another unsuspecting female into the booth. They confronted and detained him until police arrived. Somebody needs to give this guy a job. If he can talk not one but two women into letting him feel them up, and all after he drank 5 or 6 Manhattans, that is a skill that need to be put to productive use. Maybe the TSA should have drinks at every checkpoint. Might make everyone relax and things run much smoother. He was arrested for public drunkenness but may face additional charges. *-- Waitress in China shocks diners by eating cockroach following complaints --* CHENGDU, China (UPI) - A waitress in China shocked customers at her restaurant by swallowing an entire cockroach off a customer's plate on purpose. A businessman, Zhang Yen, who was dining at a hotel restaurant in Chengdu was not pleased when he found a cockroach in his salad and he made his opinion known. His server, Jin Kuo, informed him that finding the bug in his food was "completely normal." To show that she meant what she said, the 39-year-old snatched up the roach and swallowed it whole. Thanks to a customer who picked up a cellphone, the entire incident was captured on camera. In the video, Kuo can reportedly be heard saying, "No matter which restaurant you go to, you will always find cockroaches in the food. It is very normal." Maybe he was impressed by what he had seen, or disgusted, but Yen didn't argue any further and simply paid his bill and left. The restaurant owner has since apologized for the culinary cockroach display. *-- Man uses jail phone call to order pizza after arrest for allegedly stealing beer --* CORBIN, Ky. (UPI) - According to Kentucky police, a shoplifting suspect who was arrested on suspicion of stealing $36 worth of beer didn't call someone to come bail him out during booking -- he called Domino's. While Corbin police were booking Michael Harp for shoplifting and alcohol intoxication in public, he allegedly asked to use his cellphone. A short while later, a Domino's deliveryperson showed up with five pies. According to police, they were able to link the call back to Harp's cellphone. Harp reportedly told the pizzeria that his name was "Captain Wilson," one of the officers who helped arrest him. He denies ordering the pizzas. "I'm wrongfully accused on this here. They've charged me with two felonies over this pizza deal because I had my phone inside the holding cell," Harp told WKYT. "There was about 10 people who probably used the phone, so it's hard to say. Like I said, I never heard anyone say a word about Domino's pizzas. Any of it." Thanks to the pizza prank, Harp is facing additional charges of theft of identity, theft by deception and impersonating a police officer. He plans on fighting the matter in court. *-- Poltergeist turns out to be woman on 'meth rampage' --* SEATTLE (UPI) - Even if you "ain't afraid of no ghost," you may want to be wary of "meth rampages." A Seattle couple called police after they returned to their condo and discovered that it looked like a scene from Paranormal Activity. The place was completely trashed and their mail and clothing had been strewn throughout the home. The unknown perpetrator had also "smeared lotion on a door handle, removed the inner soles from all of their shoes, screwed a single screw into a piece of scrap wood and placed an upside-down can of paint on top of their toilet." After a purse with a 27-year-old woman's ID card was found, Seattle Police Department officers were called to the scene. The woman was nowhere to be found, so they departed. Police returned after the couple called them back to the scene when they started hearing noises from under the bed. The mystery woman appeared "to be having a panic attack." According to the SPD, "the woman informed police she had been on a 'meth rampage' for several days and had also broken into another home around the block earlier in the evening." She was arrested and booked for investigation of burglary. *-- Michigan woman shoots herself in face while trying to 'make a point' with shotgun --* FREMONT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (UPI) - A Michigan woman who tried to use a shotgun to "make a point" during a family argument ended up shooting herself in the face. After grabbing the gun, the Fremont Township woman slammed its butt-end onto the floor, causing the gun to go off and fire into her face. When police responded after receiving reports of a gunshot victim, they found the 51-year-old with a facial wound. She reportedly told officers that she wanted to use the firearm to "make a point." The woman was taken to St. Mary's of Michigan in Saginaw and she is expected to make a full recovery. Michigan police will continue to investigate the incident, but no charges have been filed at this time. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Geniann :) | | / / \ / \__ ____ / / \ / \ | /| / | \ \ / |____________/ / | |_____________///////// < |____________| | |(______________ () \ | / () | () | | \\\\\\\\\ \| | __|__ | | _|___/___ \___ | | __---- ----__\---\_ / __ | ______________________ \____-------------______/ \ / \ / / / / _/ ---| it theemth | / \ / / / | i thlighly | / $ / / | mithtook | / / / | your meaning there, | | | / | buthtah !!! | \______________// \______________________/ \________/ unknown >IDIOT SIGHTINGS: I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00 I said "May I have large bills, please." She looked at me and said, "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size." When I got up off the floor, I explained it to her.... When my wife and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.' This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, 'NO, it's not..' Four is larger than two.' We haven't used Sears repair since. My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window, and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back. She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry, but we could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at McD's. I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.' From Kingman , KS My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they only had iceburg lettuce. -- From Kansas City I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.' Happened in Birmingham , Ala. The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine... She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!' She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company due to 'downsizing,' our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a lunch at Texas Instruments. I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less. How would you pronounce this child's name? "Le-a" Leah?? NO Lee - A?? NOPE Lay - a?? NO Lei?? Guess Again. This child attends a school in Kansas City , Mo. Her mother is irate, because everyone is getting her name wrong. It's pronounced "Ledasha". When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent." SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash. If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent. STAY ALERT! They walk among us ..... and they VOTE!! --- ...LMAO! Great Classic!

Oglesbee A man was walking in the country when he saw a pig with a wooden leg sitting outside a barn. As he was wondering what happened to the pig, the pig's owner came along. The man asked the farmer how the pig came to have a wooden leg. The farmer said, "Let me tell you, that is some pig! Our house caught fire last April and he dragged my kids to safety!" "Is that how he lost his leg?" the man asked. "No," replied the farmer. "But a month ago, I almost drowned and that pig swam through icy water to pull me to shore!" "So that's how he lost his leg," the man asked. "Oh, no. Just a week ago, my wife's car slid off the road onto the train tracks. That pig broke through the window and helped her out just as a freight train came through!" the farmer said. "So THAT'S how he lost his leg!" the man said. "No, sir," replied the farmer. "Then HOW did he lose it?" the man begged. "Well, sir," the farmer replied, "when you got a pig that terrific, you don't want to eat it all at once!" -<>- When I was 28, I was teaching English in a high school where occasionally the faculty and staff were allowed to dress down. One of those days I donned a sweatshirt and slacks. A student came in, and his eyes widened. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "You should wear clothes like that every day. You look, like, twenty years younger." -<>- Little Johnny wasn't getting good marks in school. One day he tapped the teacher on the shoulder and said, "I don't want to scare you, but my daddy says if I don't get better grades.... somebody is going to get a spanking." -<>- People in a small town can exhibit extraordinary levels of trust. I was collecting shopping carts outside the grocery store where I work when a man and woman pulled up in a brand- new sports car.

Nor are rescuers to use CCFCCP (Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs) to describe their mental state. **Trauma patients are not FDGB (fall down, go boom), TBC (total body crunch) or "hamburger helper". **Similarly, descriptions of a car crash do not have to include phrases like "negative vehicle to vehicle interface" or "terminal deceleration syndrome."

One of her friends asked what color shoes she had to go with the dress. Tina replied, "Silver." At that point, her husband chimed in, "Yep silver...to match her hair."

Why just the other day, she got mad when she announced that she was going to the beauty parlor. I asked, "Are you going in for an estimate or are you going to get the work done?" ----- My Dad bought my Mom a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, I asked how she was doing with it. "Oh," said My Dad, "I persuaded her to switch to a clarinet." "How come?" I asked. "Well," he answered, "because with a clarinet, she can't sing." ------ A cheapskate was shopping for an inexpensive birthday gift for his friend. The only thing he could find in his price range was a badly broken vase. He bought it for almost nothing and asked the store to ship it, figuring his friend would think it was broken in the mail. A week later he received a note: 'Many thanks for the vase. It was nice of you to wrap each piece separately.' ------ The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she'd have children if she had to do over again. "Sure," she replied, "but not the same ones." -<>- **The newscaster who reported hurricanes really knew how to talk up a storm. **Life is really like a shower.

After pulling a farmer over for speeding, a state trooper started to lecture him about his speed, pompously implying that the farmer didn't know any better and trying to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible. He finally started writing out the ticket, but had to keep swatting at some flies buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there are ya?" The trooper paused to take another swat and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they are. I've never heard of circle flies." The farmer was pleased to enlighten the cop. "Circle flies are common on farms. They're called circle flies because you almost always find them circling the back end of a horse." The trooper continues writing for a moment, then says," Hey, are you trying to call me a horse's behind?" "Oh no, officer." The farmer replies. "I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers for that." "That's a good thing," the officer says rudely, then goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer added, "Hard to fool them flies, though." ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Miracle In Utah! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/utah.html Highway To Hell! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dirt.html Amazing Air Cars!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/aircars.html Leopard Vs Crocodile!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/leopard.html Patriot Fire/Rescue!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/patriot.html Road Train Trucks! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/roadtrain.html Amazing Cop Cars 2!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/copcars2.html Advertising Truck Art!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/truckart.html Guoliang Tunnel Road!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/tunnel.html -<>- >From our own Victor :) Anchor as an Early Christian Symbol http://www.jesuswalk.com/christian-symbols/anchor.htm --- ...Good read!

The polar vortex is causing the Midwest to experience fall-like temperatures. I can't tell if climate change is still a problem or if God just put the Earth on 'Shuffle.'" -Jimmy Fallon "The border crisis continues. And a new poll shows the majority of Americans disapprove of how President Obama is dealing with immigration. Of course, those numbers could change if he lets more people into America." -Seth Meyers "Kim Kardashian has a new iPhone app that experts say could make her $200 million this year. But keep in mind she has to give 10 percent to her manager, 10 percent to her agent, and 10 percent to Satan." -Conan O'Brien "Now the FCC wants to update the Emergency Alert System so the president can interrupt any TV program. 'We interrupt this program so the president can tell America what he had for lunch: a good bowl of matzo ball soup. This concludes today's presidential lunch update.'" -Dave Letterman "A company in the U.K. is making news for developing a new vegetable called Brussel-Kale, which is a hybrid of Brussels sprouts and kale. They said, 'We got the idea from a child's nightmare.'" -Jimmy Fallon "Today, Lay's announced that cappuccino is one of the finalists for their new chip flavor contest. And if you think that sounds bad, wait until you try Starbucks' new Sour Cream and Onion Latte." -Seth Meyers "The oldest living person in the United States is 116 years old. People always pester the old people. They asked her, 'How did you get so old? What's your secret?' And the woman said, 'Well, I was born a really long time ago.'" -Dave Letterman "The baseball team in Philadelphia is the Phillies. I always thought that was kind of a lazy name. It's like calling a team the New York Yorkies or the Atlanta Ta-Ta's." -Craig Ferguson "This summer New Yorkers will be able to order delivery food to sunbathing spots in Central Park. Although if you have to order delivery to the place where you're sunbathing, you probably shouldn't be sunbathing." -Seth Meyers >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->FULL LENGTH - FREE On line AUDIO MP3 Christian Foundational Class http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=61 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->This is for all you who love food and DARE to make it at home Yep.
