But, I wonder how many of you are taking advantage of online shopping for your every day grocery needs? Lets face it, after 10 years of shopping for every day needs, going to the store for toilet paper and dog food is just not as fun as it used to be. And if you happen to have any pain issues like I do now and then, it can be an unpleasant chore. I like going to the Walmart super store as it has most name brand items that cost about the same or lower than my smaller grocery store has them at their sale price. So I save money going there. I don't like their fresh meat or produce options though and often have to go to a smaller store to get better quality foods. However, if your Walmart is like mine, it has the normal grocery store items separated on opposite ends of the building. My mom used to take me to the mall and we'd spend all day shopping there. It was great fun for one day out of the year. A Super Walmart is like a mini mall only it has all the stores in one store. I cannot imagine going to a mall to do grocery shopping. But this is what the Walmart super store is like. But to make grocery shopping even more of a marathon, they put the normal medicines, personal care products and pet food on one side of the wall and at the other end against the opposite wall they put the milk, dairy, meat and bakery products. So if you need shampoo, dog food and milk, you have to walk the full length of the mini mall to get them. This makes many seniors go to the smaller stores because, like me, they have issues with pain. Unfortunately, this also means they tend to have to pay more for their regular grocery needs than younger or pain free folks. Online shopping solves this problem for people and also takes away some of the drudgery of shopping. You can go online to Walmart - http://www.walmart.com/ _ , (_\______/________ \-|-|/|-|-|-|-|/ \==/-|-|-|-|-/ \/|-|-|-|,-' \--|-''' \_j________ (_) (_) hjw Just a few tips to keep in mind: #1: Plan ahead. It will take a good week or two for you to get your items. #2: Make sure your shopping items amount to at least $50.00. This gives you free shipping. You want free shipping! Can you imagine how much a 25lb box of cat litter would cost to ship? Or a 50lb bag of dog food? Never shop unless you have free shipping. #3: Cost check. Walmart - like any store, tries to slip outrageous prices on items at times. Don't buy it. Get it later when you go to the regular store for your fresh items. Just think of all the time, energy and gas money you will save! You just might have fun grocery shopping again! -<>- ______________________________________ | | _.---------|.--. | .-' ` .'/ `` | .-' .' | /| | .-' | / `.__// | .-' _.--/ / | | _ .-' / / | | ._ \ / ` / | | ` . / ` / | | \ \ '/ / | | - \ / /| | | ' .' / | | | ' |.'| | | | | | | | |______________________________________| | |.' | / | / | / ) /| .A/`-. / | AMMMA. `-._ / / AMMMMMMMMA. `-. / / AMMMMMMMMMMMMA. `. / AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMA.`. / MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMA.`.

The thing to remember about your credit card is the big bank or business behind it. They are willing to loan you money from this little piece of plastic because they want to make MORE Money! That is partly how they got to be a big bank or business. If you use the credit card correctly, then you are the winner. However if you use it wrong, then they make out like bandits! Here's the most important thing to do when you get your credit card statement: #1: Pay the full amount. They dangle the little minimum amount due in front of you hoping you will bite and only pay part of what they loaned you so they can make out like bandits charging you huge interest on the rest of the money you don't pay. They get rich and you wind up paying double or triple for what you bought. If you can't pay the full amount off, pay as much as you can and pay it off as quickly as you can. If you do that, then your loans from the credit card are free. You get free credit for a month! How awesome is that? Work it to your advantage instead of theirs! Always pay off the full amount as quickly as possible. You'll get free credit and an added benefit is your credit rating will go up as they will think you are a super customer. I hope these tips help you! :) ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ August 15 is Relaxation Day - now this one's for me!

At the first cut, the iced layer "squeaked" at us. For an entire year, we had saved a round chunk of frosting-covered Styrofoam in our freezer. -<>- >Silver Lining The parents were very disappointed in the grades that their son brought home. "The only consolation I can find in these awful grades," lamented the father, "is that I know he never cheated during his exams." -<>- >Self Defense While attending college, I worked evenings at a retail store. On slow nights my co-worker Susan would often sing along with the radio while we did paperwork or restocked merchandise. One evening as the manager was leaving I expressed my concern to him about our safety, being two women working alone at night. "Oh, you'll be fine," he said, waving of his hand. "If you see anybody who looks suspicious, just warn him that Susan knows karaoke." -<>- >Accelerated? Toward the end of the school year, the sixth-grade teachers decide which of their students should be accelerated in certain subjects in the seventh grade. When a child is chosen, his parents are notified. When one boy was accelerated in science and math, his mother wrote to the teacher: "I think this is quite an honor for someone who just tried to make two quarts of lemonade in a one-quart pitcher!" -<>- >New Patient A new patient had just been brought to the med/surg floor from the ER. She was a very nice little lady around eighty years old. I introduced myself and told her I would be helping her throughout the shift. About halfway through my introduction she stopped me, pulled me close, and said, "I am going to tell all my lady friends that this is the place to come, because they have the cutest male workers!" I finished my spiel, and with a skip in my step, rushed into the nursing station to brag about my compliment. After I finished, a giggling RN whispered to me, "Ryan, that patient is 90 percent clinically blind." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseA :) _________________ /________________/| _,-----._ | _______________ || _,-'. _,-' _ ---`-. |[_______________]|| _,-' .`. _'_ __'.|__`. `. |\ | || ,-' , `. `.`-.,-' `-. \,`.`. \ .------| \ | || | __ (_`._ ` ,' / `.`. _,-' '------| / | || \ \,`. ) / _,' \ _,-' |/ | .. ,--. /. || `.`. ,' _,-' `.-' | \\((__))' ,` || `-.___,-'_,-' | `-;--:-' || |_________________|/ jrei >Jokes My wife's cousin married a former US Marine who now works for United Parcel Service. They bought their four-year-old son to stuffed bears -- one in a UPS uniform and the other in Marine garb. When the boy seemed confused, his father brought out a picture of himself in full Marine dress. "See, Connor?" he explained, pointing to the photo, and then to the bear. "That's Daddy." Connor's eyes went from one to the other, and then he asked in a puzzled voice, "You used to be a BEAR?" -------- On a recent evening my family sat in a darkened theater waiting to see the latest hit movie. As the screen lit up with a flashy ad for the theater's concession stand, we noticed the sound was missing. The unexpected silence continued for several moments. Then out of the darkness, an irritated voice in the crowd demanded, "Okay, who's got the remote?" -------- Sean got home in the early hours of the morning after a night at the local pub. He made such a racket hitting into the furniture as he weaved his way through the house, that he woke up the missus. "What on earth are you doing down there?" she yelled down from the bedroom. "Get yourself up here to bed and don't wake up the neighbors!" "I'm trying to get a barrel of Guinness up the stairs," he shouted. "Leave it 'till the morning," she shouted down. "I can't," he said, "I've drank it." -------- A man returns from a trip to Shanghai and is feeling very ill. He goes to see his doctor and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo a series of tests. The man wakes up after these tests in a private room at the hospital and the phone by his bed rings. "This is your doctor," says the voice on the phone. "We have the results back from your tests. I'm sorry to report that you have an extremely contagious deadly disease known as G.A.S.H." "G.A.S.H?" replies the man. "What in the heck is that?" "It's a combination of Gonorrhea, AIDS, SARS, and Herpes," explains the doctor. "My gosh, Doc!" screams the man in a panic, "what are we going to do?" "Well we're going to put you on a strict diet of pizza, pancakes, quesadillas, and pita bread," says the doctor matter-of-factly. "Will that cure me?" "Well, no," says the doctor, "but it's the only food that will fit under the door." -------- Things weren't going too well in the Sunday School class. Nobody seemed to recall the identity of Matthew. Nor did they do any better with Mark. Finally, the teacher said hopefully, "Surely somebody remembers Peter!" A small boy in the last row came to the rescue. "Teacher," he piped, "wasn't he a wabbit?" --- ...LOL! Good ones!

'Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favorite Fast Food when you were growing up?' 'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up, I informed him. 'All the food was slow.' 'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?' 'It was a place called 'at Home,'' I explained! 'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.' By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table. But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it: Some parents NEVER owned their own house, never wore Levis, never set foot on a golf course, never traveled out of the country or had a credit card. In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card. The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears & Roebuck. Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died. My parents never drove me to soccer practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow) We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11. It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a.m. And there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people. I was 19 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.' When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had. I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line. Pizzas were not delivered to our home. But milk was. All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers--my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which he got to keep 2 cents. He had to get up at 6 AM every morning. On Saturday, he had to collect the 42 cents from his customers. His favorite customers were the ones who gave him 50 cents and told him to keep the change. His least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day. Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive. If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren Just don't blame me if they bust a gut laughing. Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it? MEMORIES from a friend : My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old. How many do you remember? Head lights dimmer switches on the floor. Ignition switches on the dashboard. Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall. Real ice boxes. Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.

Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you." the lawyer said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the lawyer replied Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also." The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high." Oh come on now... you really didn't think there was such a thing as a heart-warming lawyer story did you??? --- ...LOL! Of course not! Thanks Linda! [An Et-Ahem] Reminds me of what many of us just learned about Hillary. This is how Clinton remembers her 1975 lawyer case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tor00iWUhDQ This is how the then 12 year old rape victim remembers the case: Exclusive: ‘Hillary Clinton Took Me Through Hell,’ Rape Victim Says The woman at the center of the scandal over Hillary Clinton’s defense of an alleged child rapist speaks out in depth for the first time. “I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing,” Clinton, then named Hillary D. Rodham, wrote in the affidavit. “I have also been informed that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body. Also that she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.” http://tinyurl.com/nuwm52x The child sustained injuries causing her to never be able to have children due to this brutal rape. She had never been with a man before. Her alleged 41 year old rapist got off with time served - two months. So much for being an advocate for women and girls. Hillary showed her true colors. She could have not taken the case since she obviously believed her client was guilty! [laughing over polygraph] For Hillary it is not about justice, it is all about her winning. -<>- . . .

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, decidedly unattractive, woman walked into the store along with her two children, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. ___ / /| /__/- / |\ | | \ \ \ \ / | > **@ \ / \\*''* \ / )| | | | / \ | | | || - --' unknown As I had been instructed, I said, pleasantly, "Good morning Madam and welcome to Walmart." I then asked, "Nice children you have there. Are they twins?" The woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Don't be $%^& stupid. Of course they aren't twins. The oldest one's 8, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you $%^& blind, or just stupid?" Surprised by her angry response, I calmly replied, "I'm neither blind nor stupid, Madam. I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Walmart." My Supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work. -<>- >Hip Surgery Two patients limp into two different doctors' offices with the same complaint: Both have trouble walking and may require hip surgery. Patient 1. is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week. Patient 2. sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then, pending the review board's decision on his age and remaining value to society. Why the different treatment for the 2 patients? The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a vet. The SECOND is a Senior Citizen on Obamacare. In November, if there is no change in government... we'll all have to find a good vet. --- ...HaHa! It is sad indeed! Thanks Linda! Obama promised that Obamacare would save the average family $2500 in medical costs a year. However, just like his 'you can keep your own doctor' promise, that turned out to be a lie. Most families are paying over $4500 more a year for coverage that they may not ever be able to use. Check out these Scary Obamacare facts: Paying $3,000 or $5,600 before their insurance kicks in simply isn’t an option for most families in times of emergency. Despite its name, the Affordable Care Act limits access to health care that people can actually afford to use — and it’s only getting worse with each passing year. http://tinyurl.com/j6d923n ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: [Politics - so much news - so little space:] >From Our Friend Geniann :) Now for the real story - To the Muslim Gold Star father that spoke at the DNC…..I have some thoughts on your comments.

Sarah and Shawn Delong captured video of the woman using her feet to steady the steering wheel while traveling on the Schuylkill Expressway in Center City. "Someone is going to get killed, that's why I was so mad. You see people on their phones all the time, but that took the cake," Sarah Delong told local TV. "For a good 20 minutes we were in her vicinity whether it was beside her or behind her." The Delongs said they tried to get the woman's attention. "At one point we beeped at her and I yelled 'get off your phone!' And she looked and smirked at me and went right back to doing whatever it was on her phone," Sarah Delong said. Shawn Delong said he was baffled by the spectacle. "I've seen people reading and writing with their documents, but not driving with your feet!" Shawn said. The video emerged just days after a woman driving on a stretch of Colorado interstate was recorded focusing on her phone behind the wheel while resting a leg on the dashboard. -<>- A rapper was left with severe injuries to his leg after he was allegedly seen on video shooting himself in the leg before opening fire on a crowd of people. However, the aspiring rapper is now suing the Irving Plaza Concert Hall in New York, for allowing guns into their venue. Roland Collins, 30, who goes by the stage name Troy Ave, was arrested on charges of possession of a firearm and attempted murder over the shooting that took place in the backstage VIP, where the night's performers were seated. He is free on $500,000 bail. Collins, who was shot in the legs during the fight, claims that he is the victim, and is now suing the venue for not patting down people to check them for weapons before allowing them to enter the venue through a side door. The video that allegedly shows Collins firing the gun that night, was uploaded to the Internet. In the video, Collins appears to have accidentally shot himself in the leg. Despite video evidence, the rapper and his lawyer, Scott Leemon, maintain that he did not bring a firearm into the venue. *--- Love Means Never Having to Call in a Bomb Threat ---* A jealous boyfriend was arrested after allegedly calling the police to report that his girlfriend was carrying a bomb and drugs on a plane, according to police in New York. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that they have arrested 33-year-old Danesh Gomanie of Queens, after being accused of trying to prevent his girlfriend from flying to Guyana, in order to stop her from meeting her former husband. According to the criminal complaint, Gomanie called 911 on Wednesday, and told the dispatcher that there was a woman on Caribbean Airlines flight 527 who was carrying a bomb and drugs. Gomanie admitted that made the call because he was upset with his girlfriend for flying to Guyana, and was afraid she would meet her former husband who lives there. The girlfriend laughed at the idea of hooking up with her former husband, saying that they have been separated for 10 years. The girlfriend forgave Gomanie for making the prank call to police. Gomanie was booked into jail, and his bail was set $20,000. *---------- The Most Canadian Crime Ever ----------* Thieves in Canada made off with more than 5,000 gallons of maple syrup from trucks stored at a local warehouse. The shipment was meant to be sent to Japan before delays forced it to be locked away temporarily. Vice president of Mexuscan Cargo shipping company Alfredo Monaco said thieves broke into the warehouse and stole a shipping container carrying 20 pallets with a total of about 5,283 gallons of the syrup. According to the CBC, the shipping company is offering a $10,000 reward for the load's return. Monaco said insurance will not cover the total of the missing goods and the company would lose about $60,000, making the decision to offer a reward an easy one. "$10,000 is not much compared to the value of the goods," Monaco said. *-- Daredevils Get an Eiffel of the Parasites --* A pair of daredevils skipped the elevators at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and climbed to the top of the structure while filming their ascent. The video, posted to YouTube, shows the two men purchase tickets to visit the Eiffel Tower at night while it is illuminated and sneak away from the other tourists to climb the structure's stairs. The men dodge CCTV cameras and security officers before moving from the stairs to the steel girders to make their way to near the top of the tower. A drone helped film the men as they approached the dizzying heights of the tower's summit. The uploader said the video was filmed in June amid high winds that made piloting the drone difficult. "The poor drone operator not only crashed the drone but also received a pretty big fine," the post said. British daredevil James Kingston climbed the Eiffel Tower in November of last year and were arrested when they were discovered by security. Kingston said he was released without charges when he promised not to try to climb the tower again for at least three years. *------------ Caterer Gets the Chair ------------* A bride's big day ended in tragedy when her caterer was stabbed to death over a few chairs. 36-year-old Tyonne Domonique Johns, who is also known to many as chef Tyonne, was asked to cater an outdoor wedding at a park in Virginia, and she agreed. The wedding was held at the Ellanor C. Lawrence Park in Chantilly. At the end the event, Johns cleaned up the area. Meanwhile, government employee Kempton Bonds, 19, who was waiting to lock up the park, noticed Johns placing folding chairs, which he believed belonged to the park, into her truck. Bonds confronted Johns, and the two got into an argument over the ownership of the chairs. Police are still trying to figure out what happened next and what prompted Bonds to pull out a three-inch folding knife and stab the woman to death. Bonds was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. He was fired from the park, pending the outcome of the investigation. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend MohB :) (.,------...__ _.'" `. .' .' `, `. `. ` . .' .'/''--...__`. \ . .--.`.

She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Larry stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Larry?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself ------ Larry watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. 'Why do you do that, mummy?' he asked. 'To make myself beautiful,' said his mother, Who then began removing the cream with a tissue. 'What's the matter, asked Larry 'Giving up?' ------ The math teacher saw that Larry wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, 'Larry! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?' Larry quickly replied, 'NBC, FOX, ESPN And the Cartoon Network!' ------ Larry's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. Larry pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. 'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him.' Larry asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?" ------ Little Larry attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Larry asked, 'Dad, Why are you doing that?' His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.' Larry, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mum.' If this brightened your day, don't let it stop here. Pass Larry on with a smile. Keep spreading the cheer! Pass him on to your Family And Friends As I Just Did --- ...LOL! Thanks MoHB! -<>- >Tips - The Problem of SSN Fraud & How to Avoid It One of the biggest security traps that we can ever fall into goes like this: “So, sir, to complete your application I just need your Social Security Number, please. Don’t worry, by the way, your secret code will be safe with us!” To which request, you, I and everyone else dutifully complies. This, though, is a terrible mistake, because companies are unable to protect your data from falling into the wrong hands, and this is happening time and time again. To help you steer clear of these open risks, here is some helpful advice you will need to acquaint yourself with. First we start with a list of 5 places you should not give your SSN, and then we’ll show you how to avoid giving your SSN when it's requested by an official sounding person. The Security Risks of an Exposed SSN It hardly seems a month goes by without some new hacking story involving the private details of public and private people being exposed. Even the CIA and FBI have been hacked in the past, so that shows that really your data is not safe with anyone. Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Joe Biden have had their SSNs posted online without their knowledge. It goes to show, that if your SSN is on a computer somewhere, it is only a matter of time before it becomes exposed. But why is your SSN so valuable to criminals? In America, social security numbers have become de facto personal identifiers, but without any attendant photos or security. Anyway using your number can claim to be you. If someone can acquire your SSN they are also able to access your credit accounts and start new ones; purchase houses and cars. They can rack up medical bills for you to pay and even commit crimes using your name. These risks amount to a systematic, Orwellian nightmare, with your identity, credit and reputation becoming vulnerable. Reports from the Javelin Strategy & Research estimate that those whose SSN has been exposed are more than five times as likely to become victims of fraud than otherwise. Learn to Say No The best thing you can do is also the easiest: say no. So when anyone asks for your SSN, simply refuse. 5 Companies & Groups You Should Not Reveal Your SSN to 1. A caller or emailer. Security expert Adam Levin advises that we should only provide our SSN if we are in the control of the interaction. That means instead of responding directly to a call, email or text message, contact the company using official means. Find their phone number on your bank card, if it’s related to your account, and ask for the security department. Otherwise you could be responding to a deliberate scam. 2. Public schools. They simply do not need your SSN. If they want address confirmation, provide them with a utility bill. If they want to contact you, offer your email address and phone number. 3. Summer camps (or other child groups). Unless you are paying for the summer camp with your credit card, there is no need to provide your SSN. Again, if they want to see your child’s birth certificate, show it to them, but don’t leave it with them. 4. Supermarkets. Refuse to give your SSN for a frequent shopper card. These cards are not bank accounts or credit accounts. They are simply a way for the supermarket to track your purchases. 5. A stranger who approaches you on the streets. It could be a charity organization, a phone salesman or a voter registration drive, but it doesn’t make a difference. You don’t know anything about them and they can’t be trusted in this world of computer hacking anyway. Deny them your SSN. --- ...Great Info!

The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve minors," and E-flat leaves. C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second." A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor and sends him out. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and shouts, "Get out now. You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." Next night, E-flat, not easily deflated, comes into the bar in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says: "You're looking pretty sharp tonight. Come on in. This could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat takes off his suit and everything else and stands there au naturel. Eventually, C, who had passed out under the bar the night before, begins to sober up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. So, C goes to trial, is convicted of contributing to the diminution of a minor and sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an up scale correctional facility. The conviction is overturned on appeal, however, and C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless. The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar. -<>- A teenage boy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to the prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there's a long tux line at the shop and it takes forever. Next, he has to get some flowers, so he heads over to the florist and there's a huge flower line there. He waits for- ever but eventually gets the flowers. Then he heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there's a large limo line at the rental office, but he's patient and gets the job done. Finally, the day of the prom comes. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, she asks him to get her some punch, so he heads over to the punch table and there's no punchline. -<>- One day while jogging, a middle-aged man noticed a tennis ball lying by the side of the walk. Being fairly new and in good condition, he picked the ball up, put it in his pocket and proceeded on his way. Waiting at the cross street for the light to change, he noticed a young woman standing next to him smiling. Noticing the rather distinct bulge she asked, "What do you have in your pocket?" "Tennis ball," the man said, smiling back. "Wow!" said the woman looking upset. "That must hurt. I once had tennis elbow and the pain was terrible!" -<>- Little Noah came into the house with a new harmonica. "Grandpa, do you mind if I play this in here?" "Of course not, Noah. I love music. In fact, when your grandma and I were young, music saved my life." "What happened?" "Well, it was during the famous Johnstown flood. The dam broke and when the water hit out house it knocked it right off the foundation. Grandma got on the dining room table and floated out safely." "How about you?" "Me? I accompanied her on the piano!" -<>- My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the Doctor once a year for his check-up, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. He makes no contribution to the running or maintenance of the house. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses what- soever. All of his costs are picked up by others who go out, work hard, and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head... I think my dog might be in Congress! ========================================================= >-->From TheMouth: | --====|====-- | .-"""""-. .'_________'. /_/_|__|__|_\_\ ;'-._ _.-'; ,--------------------| `-. .-' |--------------------, ``""--..__ ___ ; ' ; ___ __..--""`` jgs `"-// \\.._\ /_..// \\-"` \\_// '._ _.' \\_// `"` ``---`` `"` >LETTERMAN'S TOP TEN Top Ten Signs Your Pilot is Drunk. 1.
