I've been having to send them a couple times and sometimes even paste them into the group site to get them to post. Yesterday I had to do that and still didn't get a copy sent to me. If you are missing a regular email - the Smiles or the Inspirations, I upload them to my web site here: http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/ShangyFunList.html You may have to refresh your browser to see the new files. Last week my internet provider decided to repair and upgrade. It kept saying we'd be be back online but took from early Thursday until late Saturday night before we had our service restored. So the Inspirations and my normal web work was postponed until Sunday. So sorry for all the inconveniences of late. Hopefully Verizon will get it together sooner than later. -<>- >HOT Off The 'Shangy' Press :) This super hot new page is from our friend Linda. It is an eye opener.

When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling, "You sign! You sign!" Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts. Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder, "You sign! You sign!" Nelson says to him, "Look mate, you've obviously got the wrong bloke. Push off", and shuts the door in his face. The next day he hears a knock at the door again. When he opens it the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads. He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling, "You sign! You sign!" Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he shoves the little Chinese man back, shouting: "Look, push off ! You've got the wrong bloke! I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again. The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again. On opening the door, there is the same little Chinaman thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting "You sign! You sign!" Behind him are two very large trucks full of car parts. This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little man by his shirt front and yells at him; "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?" The little Chinese man looks at him very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says: "You not Nissan Maindealer?" -<>- Two older gentlemen were talking and one said to the other, "You're having an anniversary soon, right?" The other replied, "Yup, a big one, 20 years." "Wow," said the other, "What are you going to get your wife for your anniversary?" The other replied, "We're going on a trip to Australia." "Wow, Australia, that's some gift!" said the other man. "That's going to be hard to beat. What are you going to do for your 25th anniversary?" "Go back and get her." ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ June 19 is National Kissing Day and World Sauntering Day June 20 is Ice Cream Soda Day June 21 is Go Skate Day, International Yoga Day, National Selfie Day and Finally Summer Day June 22 is National Chocolate Eclair Day June 23 is National Columnists Day, National Pink Day and Take Your Dog to Work Day Friday after Father's Day June 24 is Swim a Lap Day June 25 is Log Cabin Day and National Catfish Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: ,_ :`. .--._ `.`-. / ',-""""' `. ``~-._.'_."/ `~-._ .` `~; ;. / / / jgs ,_.-';_,.'` `"-;`/ ,'` >Help in the Classroom My fellow teacher called for help. She needed someone who knew about animals. As a science teacher, I filled the bill. "Oh," she added, "Bring a net." Expecting to find some kind of beast as I entered her classroom, I was greeted instead by the sight of excited kids watching a hummingbird fly around. Rather than use the net, I suggested they hang red paper by an open door. The bird would be drawn to it, I explained, and eventually fly out. Later, the teacher called back. "The trick worked," she said, "Now we have two hummingbirds flying around the room." -<>- >New Suit A newly elected senator decided to get his first tailor-made suit. So he went to the finest tailor in town and got measured for a suit. A week later he went in for his first fitting. He put on the suit and he looked stunning; he felt that in this suit he could do business. As he was preening in front of the mirror, he reached down to put his hands in the pockets. To his surprise, he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "Didn't you tell me you were a senator?" The young man answered, "Yes, I did." The tailor then said, "Whoever heard of a politician with his hands in his own pockets?" -<>- >Bothered? The terrified parents rushed their four-year-old son to the emergency room with a terrible cough, high fever, and vomiting. The doctor did a thorough exam, then asked the boy what bothered him the most. After thinking it over, he said hoarsely, "I would have to say my little sister." -<>- >Toy Computer I was recently attending a birthday party for my mother-in-law, when my three-year-old grandson came to me with a Strawberry Shortcake toy computer that can help with spelling and some other things. He wanted me to turn it on for him. I opened it up, looked around for an on/off switch, and slid a couple of switches left and right, but it wouldn't come on. I gave it back to him saying that I couldn't help him. He took the computer and gave it to the mother of the little girl it belonged to. She opened it up and pushed a button, it came on, and she gave it back to him. I asked her what she had pushed to get it to come on. She replied, "On/Off." When I said I couldn't figure it out and I work on computers for a living, she replied, "I wouldn't tell that to anyone." -<>- >Bragging At the company water cooler, I bragged about my children's world travels: one son was teaching in Bolivia, another was working in southern Italy, and my daughter was completing a yearlong research project in India.

"Ned, you're pretty popular!" says Bill. "I'm the most popular man in the world," says Ned. "Now Ned," says Bill, your pretty popular but you're not the most popular man in the world." "Oh yeah," Ned replies "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I'm friends with anybody you can name!" "That so?" answers Bill, "How about the President of the United States?" "Let's go!" says Ned. The two fly to Washington and knock on the front door of the White House. The president answers, "Ned! How are you doing? I haven't seen you in ages!" The three go play a round of golf and then leave. "That was luck!" says Bill, "Two thousand says your not friends with the Queen of England!" "Let's go!" says Ned. The two fly to Buckingham Palace and, sure enough, are greeted by the Queen. ''Hello Ned, my boy! What have you been up to these days?" They enter the palace and have some tea and leave. Frustrated, Bill says, "Double or nothing, you don't know the Pope!" "Benny!" says Ned, "Let's go!" When they get to the Vatican, Ned instructs Bill to wait outside and Ned will come out on the balcony with his arm around the Pope. After a while, a crowd gathers to hear the Pope speak. And as told by Ned, when the Pope came out, Ned's arm was wrapped around him. Ned looks down from the balcony and see's Bill passed out on the ground. He rushes down and wakes him up. "Bill! Bill! Wake up!" Bill opens his eyes and says, "Ned. You're the most popular man in the world." "I told you that, Bill," says Ned, "but you didn't faint when I knew the President! You didn't faint when I knew the Queen!" "Well I was shocked that you knew the Pope," says Bill. "But I just couldn't take it when the guy next to me tapped me on the shoulder and said "Who's that up there with Ned? ------- Father O'Brian, a young priest was sent to a very small church in the backwoods of Alaska. After a couple of years, the bishop decided to pay the priest a visit to see how he was doing. Father O'Brian told him, "this is a very lonely job and I don't think that I could have made it this long without my Rosary and two martinis each day." "What?!" exclaimed the bishop. "You've taken to drinking? What kind of example is that to set for the community? This doesn't reflect well on the church." "But the loneliness! I just couldn't stand it. If it weren't for my Rosary and those two martinis a day, I would surely have gone insane." The bishop thought a moment, then said, "I guess that is understandable considering..." With that the priest asked the bishop, "Would you like to have a martini with me?" The bishop replied, "Well, I really shouldn't, but... Yes, that would be nice. I think I will, but just this once." The priest turned around and hollered toward the kitchen, "Hey Rosary, would you fix us two martinis, please?" ------- "What happened?" asked the hospital visitor to the heavily bandaged man sitting up in bed. "Well, I went down to the amusement park this weekend and decided to take a ride on the roller coaster. As we came up to the top of the highest loop, I noticed a little sign by the side of the track. I tried to read it but it was very small and I couldn't make it out. I was so curious that I decided to go round again, but we went by so quickly that I couldn't see what the sign said. By now, I was determined to read that sign so I went round a third time. As we reached the top, I stood up in the car to get a better view." "And did you manage to see what the sign said this time?" asked the visitor. "Yes." "What did it say?" "Don't stand up in the car!" -------- Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a white bag on the seat next to Sally. "What's in the bag?" asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the bag and, smiling, said, "It's a box of chocolates. I got it for my husband." The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: "Good trade." -------- Thought to Ponder: Why is it that when you eat too much for lunch, you feel drowsy all afternoon, but when you eat a big meal in the evening, you stay awake all night? --- ...HaHa!

I am an American. I am a Master Mason and believe in God. I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles and believe in American products. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican! I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way! I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American. I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it! I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English. I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to. My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson that makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles. I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it. I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! I want to know exactly where the churches are that Reverend Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton preach, where they get their money, and why they are always part of the problem and never the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one? I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are. And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license and showing my ID when asked to. I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money. I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents. I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think. I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed to fly in AMERICA! If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

The Kansas City man was sentenced to six months home confinement and 50 hours of community service for the bank robbery that he blamed on a fight with his wife, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said. Lawrence John Ripple, 71, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. A criminal complaint in the case alleged that Ripple sat down in the lobby and waited for police after robbing the Bank of Labor in Kansas City. He told investigators that after an argument with his wife he felt he would rather be in prison than go back home. According to the police investigation, Ripple had been arguing with his wife before he told her that he would rather be in jail than live with her. He then wrote a note, in which he demanded money from the bank, in front of his wife. Ripple went to a Bank of Labor branch, and gave the note to a bank teller, demanding cash and warning that he had a gun. Ripple took the $3,000 in cash and sat down in the lobby, where he told a security guard that he was the guy that the police were looking for. -<>- Some of us got it and some of us don't. Apparently, there's a couple has more than enough to go around. A Colorado couple who won $500,000 on a scratch-off ticket revealed they previously won lottery jackpots for $5 million and $4,000. The Colorado Lottery said the couple, whose names were not released, purchased 4 Brilliant Bucks Scratch tickets recently and discovered one of them was a $500,000 winner. The couple told officials the ticket was not their first lottery windfall -- they won a $5 million Colorado Lottery jackpot several years ago. The couple said they also once won $4,000 from the California lottery. The pair dubbed their latest winnings a "retirement fund." I'm gonna contact them and see if maybe their next big win can become the "Send Lewis to Amsterdam for 3 Months Fund." *-- Beaver cuts lights on Canada wedding by chomping on power pole --* A beaver disrupted a wedding in Canada after cutting off the power by knocking down a nearby electrical pole. Saskatoon Power shared photos of the toppled electrical pole complete with beaver bite marks as it rested in a muddy field. "Crews were busy safely restoring power in the Maple Creek area on [Saturday] -- the culprit -- a beaver!" the power company said. Kim Martin of Regina told the CBC the beaver caused a power outage that nearly derailed her wedding by leaving the venue in the dark. "It really took a while to believe that it was a beaver because that just seems like a really ridiculous thing to have happen," she said. The manager of the venue for Martin's wedding reception said the building lost power because of the beaver, but would be able to receive power from its backup power generator. "We were definitely worried but once they assured us that there would be food and music...we didn't really have time to worry," Martin said. "It was such of a blur of a day that we just kept on going. It was more of an adventure that way, with no power." Martin initially struggled to believe a beaver was able to nearly sidetrack her big day, but eventually found the humor in the situation. "Once we realized that was a true story -- that it was a beaver -- it was just funny," she said. *-- Doctors find live spider in woman's ear after outside nap --* A woman who suffered a headache after an outside nap in India went to a hospital where doctors filmed a live spider crawling out of her ear. The woman, identified as Lekshmi L, 49, was brought by her husband to Columbia Asia Hospital in Hebbal, India, when she suffered a severe headache after napping on the veranda outside her home. The woman told doctors the sensation started as a slight discomfort and a tingling sensation, but the pain became excruciating after her daughter used a flashlight to look into her ear. Doctors examined the woman and were filming video when a large and very much alive spider walked out of her ear. *-- She Might Have Killed It, But She Didn't Eat It --* A vegetarian had no choice but to kill an animal suffering from rabies with her bare hands. 21-year-old Rachel Borch from Hope, Maine said that she was jogging in the woods near her home when a raccoon appeared in front of her. Borch instantly knew that the raccoon was infected with rabies as it was foaming from its mouth. After a few moments of growling at her, the raccoon went on the attack, biting her thumb. Borch began swinging the animal, but it refused to let go. Luckily, there was a puddle nearby so Borch forced the raccoon's head into the puddle of rainwater. After a few seconds, the raccoon lost consciousness and Borch was able to pull her thumb out of the animal. Borch quickly ran home, and her mother Elizabeth, drove her to the hospital. Borch said that despite being vegetarian she had to kill the animal with her bare hands in self defense. *------- 'She's a ballerina in the air.' -------* Aerialist Erendira Wallenda performed a series of acrobatic acts while hanging by her teeth and toes from a helicopter hundreds of feet above the Niagara Falls. Wallenda bit into a customized mouthpiece on a hoop fastened to the bottom of a helicopter that hovered above the falls. During the approximately 20-minute flight she used her teeth to grip on to the mouth piece for 10 seconds on her first attempt and then again for five seconds. "That's where I feel alive," Wallenda told the CBC. "This is what I was meant to do. You just get lost in the moment." Wallenda performed the daring stunt on the fifth anniversary of the day her husband and fellow acrobat Nik Wallenda walked across a high wire from the American side of the Falls to the Canadian side. "She's a ballerina in the air," he said. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Fran :) -=Chaplin=- ___ / \ _\___/_ '->---<-' ( ^ ^ ) \ # / __/'-'\__ / \/'\/ \ / _/ >o \ / > (_o_ <\ \ \_/\_/ | \__\\ \ _ \_/ / \ \_\(_ mb / \ ) \__/ a:f \ / / \\ mic > \ \ \\ __ _/ / \ __ \\ ( \\_____\_____// ) \\ \__`___( )___/__/ \7 >Quotes: "The cinema is little more than a fad.

I told your reporter that I have 2 sows and 8 pigs." -<>- Part of my job as a 911 dispatcher is to interrogate callers who are in various states of panic so I can send the appropriate emergency equipment. One day a woman called to say that a family member had fallen and needed to go to a hospital. After finding out where she lived and assuring her that the paramedics would arrive shortly, I asked her, "Do you know what caused the fall?" "No," the woman nervously replied. "What?" -<>- While doing a crossword puzzle, I asked for my husband's help. "The word is eight letters long and starts with 'm', and the clue is 'tiresome sameness.'" "Monogamy," he answered. -<>- My Dad and I were talking the other night about love and marriage. He told me that he knew as early as their wedding what marriage to my Mom would be like. The way he tells it, the minister asked my Mom, "Do you take this man to be your husband." And she said, "I do." Then the minister asked my Dad, "Do you take this woman to be your wife," and my Mom said, "He does." -<>- An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead." ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: >Just Think About This! dentist: /-----| \-' | Q | )C ~\/\ | \\_ \ | \_77 |\ | ejm 96 |`` \ \ | """ ~ ~ === **Yesterday I got even with my dentist.

A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would open, and the character would plunge through. The play was well received. When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. When the new actor announced, "I descend into hell!" the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend. Then, one student in the balcony jumped up and yelled: "Hallelujah! Hell is full!" -<>- >Please Be Quite: Pastor Dave Charlton tells us, "After a worship service at First Baptist Church in Newcastle, Kentucky, a mother with a fidgety seven-year-old boy told me how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered, 'If you don't be quiet, Pastor Charlton is going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all over again!' It worked." -<>- >A Father of Many: A little boy got on the bus and sat next to a man who had his collar on backwards. He asked the man why he wore his collar that way. The man said, "I am a Father" The little boy replied, "My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that" The man answered, "I am the Father of many" The boy said, "My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren" The priest was annoyed and said, "I am the Father of hundreds" The little boy sat quietly...but on leaving the bus he leaned down and said, "Well, maybe you should wear your pants backwards!" -<>- >What's Gonna Happen To Her?

Coors put its slogan, "Turn it loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer from diarrhea." 2. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." 3. Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into German only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "manure stick." 4. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the U.S., with the beautiful Caucasian baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside, since most people can't read. 5. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine. 6. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa). 7. Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave", in Chinese. 8. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "it takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate." 9. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Ke-kou-ke-la", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "ko-kou-ko-le", translating into "happiness in the mouth." 10. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "it won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you". Instead, the company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant." -<>- ___ ___ / \ / \ \_ \ / __/ _\ \ / /__ \___ \____/ __/ \_ _/ | @ @ \_ | _/ /\ -Dave Bird- /o) (o/\ \_ \_____/ / \____/ >Truth In Packaging: A butcher just out of trade school in Canada applies for and gets a job, skinning and cutting up the kills of local hunters. The first job he gets is to cut up a moose to put in the freezer.

At a loss as to what to do with them, he finally puts them all into one bag and labels them..........Moosellaneous. -<>- >Missing You Dave went on a business trip for a few days. When he returned, his wife reported that the dog really missed him. "She spent every night at the front door, awaiting your return," she said. "What an example of true love," Dave replied. "I wonder if you'd be that concerned about me?" "Honey," she answered, "if you were gone overnight, and I didn't know where you were, you can be sure I'd be waiting for you at the front door." -<>- __........__ \ .-' .-.|"\| |+.`-. ^,." |"\|_||_/| |||\ |". ,^'. |_/| || \| | ||| \|.' / "-._' '| ||/ \|+_.-" "/"/-----|"| \__) \__) sw/sk >In My Dreams: Andrew: Doc, I had the worst dream of my life last night.

They're very smart but they have low motivation to please their owners. Zeus loves playing in the water in the bathtub and wants the water turned on. Even though it's time for his walk he howls in protest because he wants to play in the water! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw5M-4Fo2wE Does this 11-month-old husky look like any human children you know? He says "no" to his kennel just like a kid says "no" to bedtime! You have to see (and hear) it to believe it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hCRDskZrUMU --- ...LOL! SO funny!

Pardo's Phantom Push took place in the skies over North Vietnam on March 10, 1967 when Air Force pilot Bob Pardo and his Weapons Systems Officer Steve Wayne performed an amazing act of flying. Their effort to save fellow pilot Earl Aman and his weapons system officer Bob Houghton is known as "Pardo's Push" and was an act that they weren't exactly congratulated for at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRNbcPS3A9c&feature=player_embedded --- ...Pretty Spectacular!
