She began undressing nervously, preparing herself for the upcoming examination. Just as she draped the last of her garments over the back of a chair, a light rap sounded on the door and a young doctor strode in. Coming to an abrupt halt, the doctor looked his nude patient up and down carefully and with considerable appreciation. "Miss Jones," he said finally, "it seems quite obvious to me that until today you have never undergone an eye examination." _....,_ _,...._ _.-` _,..,_'. .'_,..,_ `-._ _,-`/ o \ '. .' / o \`-,_ jgs '-.\___/.-` `-.\___/.-' ================================================================ >-->Just Think About This - From Our Friend James :) _____ ____ _____ / / \ \ /____ /_________\____\ \ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ / / \ \/ / \/ Michaela Heeb >Gems from James Compiled by:James Warren St.Pierre 1.)

They bought new outfits & equipment, and went out to a place in the woods where they heard the hunting was really good. But after several hours of thrashing through the woods, one fellow said, "I don't know about this. We've been out here all day and haven't caught a single duck. Do you think we're doing something wrong?" "I don't know," replied the other.

Simply cross out the names and addresses of people you don't know. * Fool other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car phone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the curb. * Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers turned to fast wipe whenever you leave your car parked illegally. * No time for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off. * Apply red nail polish to your nails before clipping them. The red nails will be much easier to spot on your bathroom carpet. (Unless you have a red carpet, in which case a contrasting polish should be selected). * If a person is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down their throat and presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed. * Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whiskey. The following morning you can create the effects of hangover by drinking a thimble full of dish washing liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall. -<>- One day my young daughter and I were listening to an old tune by Simon and Garfunkel.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean and Representatives Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin released the proclamation. Our goal is to send 1,000,000 e-mails to Congress in support of H.J. RES. 89. We have already sent over 125,000! These activist judges clearly showed their goal is to force homosexual marriage on every American. The only way America can protect itself from such radical judges is through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia has introduced the Marriage Protection Amendment of 2008 (H.J. RES. 89). This amendment would make marriage legal only between a man and a woman. Take Action! If you have not already done so please E-mail your representative asking him or her to co-sponsor H.J. RES. 89. Our system will automatically detect if your representative is one of the 18 co-sponsors and present you with a suggested "thank you" e-mail. If he or she is not a co-sponsor, our system will present you with an e-mail message urging your Member of Congress to support H.J. RES. 89 - the Marriage Protection Amendment (2008). This is very important: Help us reach our goal of sending 1,000,000 e-mails to Congress. Please forward this to all your family and friends! They are probably unaware of H.J. RES. 89 because the media hasn't reported on it. Thank you for caring enough to get involved. Sincerely, Don Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association -<>- >From Christian Coalition of America Homosexual Activists Will Now Bring Homosexual "Marriage" Lawsuits in the State of Maryland Following the Decision by 4 Dictators on the California Supreme Court approving, by 4-3 margin, the Abominable Homosexual "Marriages" for California/Renegade Democrat New York Governor, David Patterson, on Monday Will Declare Hundreds of Years of Marriage Laws to be "Null and Void" Caving to Radical Homosexual Lobby The radical homosexual lobby -- after getting 4 judicial dictators on the California Supreme Court last month to give them homosexual "marriage" which is opposed by not only the millions of California citizens who actually voted against such "marriages" by a 61% margin a few years ago but opposed by the majority of Californians today -- are now about to bring homosexual "marriage" lawsuits in the left-wing state of Maryland. This follows the decision by the renegade Governor of New York, David Patterson, to overrule the will of New York citizens and his state legislature and to get rid of hundreds of years of New York marriage laws declaring them to all be "null and void," thus accepting the "marriage" licenses of homosexuals from all over America. As perverse as Governor Patterson's actions are, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome -- who attempted to "marry" homosexual couples in his city after the infamous 4-3 Massachusetts decision allowing homosexual "marriages," -- bragged, after his state court's decision last month, that "As goes California, so goes America." These Democrat Party haters of traditional values are not going to stop at anything to allow these abominable "marriages" and all types of other perversions (abortion on demand, etc.) all over America. Thankfully, the people of California will undoubtedly vote to end and overturn any of these abominable homosexual "marrriages" in the voting booths during November by voting for a state constitutional amendment outlawing homosexual "marriages." Hoards of homosexuals are descending on California this very weekend to get "married" beginning this coming week and will take their "marriage" licenses back to the courts of their own states to get other judicial dictators on their own state courts to recognize their "marriages" in each of the 50 states. The problem for them, however, is that voters in 27 states -- so far; with 3 states, Florida, Arizona, and California, to undoubtedly adopt similar amendments in November -- have voted by an average of 70% approval rate to ban homosexual "marriages." ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! Christian Coalition of America Urges Conservative Democrats and Moderate Republicans, and Others to Co-Sponsor California Congressman Daniel Lungren's Federal "Defense of Marriage Act" Now that California, Massachusetts, New York and other States have Arrogantly Ignored the Will of the American People and Have Legalized or are Recognizing Homosexual "Marriages" Christian Coalition of America is urging all Christian Coalition activists to immediately call and contact their Members of Congress to co-sponsor California Congressman Daniel Lungren's "Defense of Marriage Act" which will outlaw homosexual "marriages" all over America with a constitutional amendment. One of the reasons conservative Democrats and moderates, and even some conservative Republicans, have given for not sponsoring or voting for a federal constitutional amendment banning homosexual "marriages," is that the states are taking care of this terrible problem with actions by state legislatures or by state ballot initiatives banning such an abomination and Congress did not need to act. However, that argument is dead, now that renegade judges legislating from the bench are dictating to the American people that there WILL BE homosexual "marriages" imposed on them. It is time for the United States Congress to finally act and to end the travesty of homosexual "marriages" once and for all time, and pass a constitutional amendment (requiring 2/3 vote in the House of Representatives and and 2/3 vote in the Senate.) Undoubtedly, 38 states required for ratification will quickly ratify this constitutional amendment and it will be enshrined in the United States Constitution. Congressman Lungren says his proposed amendment would say: 1. It would define marriage in the United States as a legal union of one man and one woman. 2. It would expressly prohibit the judicial power of the United States or of any state from being used to redefine marriage as anything other than a union between one man and one woman. 3. It would resolve questions relating to the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act by incorporating language which would prohibit the courts from imposing the policy of one state on other states. Congressman Dan Lungren says in a letter to the other 434 Members of the House of Representatives: "This approach to the protection of marriage is expressly designed to erect a wall of separation between federal and state courts and the institution of marriage. The appropriate response to the judicial assault on marriage is to amend the Constitution of the United States. ACTION ITEM: Please your Congressman at 202-225-3121 or you can go to http://www.cc.org/contactcongress.cfm and email them and urge them to co-sponsor Congressman Daniel Lungren's "Defense of Marriage Act." -<>- >From Lifescript: ,-~~\_/~~/~~~\---. /' \ --\/`\ `\ ,' /~\ `\ -/|/~~\ | / /' `. | ' / `\ |. /| | .' | | \'`\ < \| | `. | | | /| /~~ | /~~\| |/~~\ | \_/~/' `~/ __ | | | | | | _ -'~\ /'_ | `\/~~~~~\ | |/~~~\ |/~ | \~\| `~/ `\ |/~~~~~\/`~~~'\/~~~\`/'/~ | `.` \/\ |`>`\___,--~~~~~~'\__ .'|_/' _.| `~/' ~ ___,----------,_~\___>'~~ `~~<~_____,-------,__~> --Chev ~ ~ The Ultimate Tipping Guide Ever wonder if you’re forking over enough cash to the delivery guy, hairdresser or doorman?

Kanab City Councilwoman Nina Laycook said the ban on bikinis for the ladies and Speedos for the gentlemen was an accidental side-effect of copying the dress code from the city's parks and recreation policy manual, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. "We were so engrossed with safety and health issues we overlooked the wording (about swimming attire)," she said. "We are addressing that now by amending the policy." Council members said the policy will likely be revised at the body's June 24 meeting. Laycook said that while bikinis and Speedos will almost certainly be allowed under the new rules, she supports some restrictions on swimming attire. "My recommendation is going to be no thongs or string bikinis," she said. Fire designers sacked over snowman The Rockport, Mass., Firemen's Association said the designers of an annual July Fourth bonfire were fired after they ignored a warning not to burn a fake snowman. Tim Giarrosso and Rickard York were told by the association in 2004 not to use snowmen in the Independence Day fire after residents complained about a 12-foot inflatable snowman that went down in flames atop the blaze, WCVB-TV, Boston, reported. However, the two men ignored the warning and last year's fire was topped by a plywood Frosty the Snowman, leading the Firemen's Association to fire Giarrosso and York as designers of the bonfire. -<>- >From BizarreNews: -- Burglar came back for dropped phone ------------ PRESTON, England - Police in Preston, England, arrested a burglar after he returned to the scene of the crime and told the victim he had dropped his cell phone. Investigators said Stuart Gardner, 30, dropped his phone while searching the home of Peter Diamond, 74, for cash, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday. Gardner, who police said left the home empty handed, returned to the house a short time after breaking in and spoke with Diamond. "I'm the person who broke in. Can I have my mobile phone back," Diamond quoted Gardner as saying. "I couldn't believe his cheek. He had some front to come back," Diamond said. Police arrested Gardner after taking a statement from Diamond and traveling to the scene of another burglary nearby. They said Gardner was found with a sack of stolen goods and admitted to police that he had committed the burglaries. Gardner pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary and one count of theft. He was sentenced to three years and three months imprisonment. -- Lawyers told to report sleeping judges ---------- TORONTO - A Canadian court has dismissed an appeal because lawyers failed to report a Toronto judge repeatedly nodded off asleep during the original trial. The appeal involved a 2006 dispute between small film production company and a group of financiers accused of backing down on their promises, the Toronto Star said. After a one-day trial, Justice William Somers ruled in favor of the film company and awarded a $1 million settlement. However, court affidavits show the financiers' rookie lawyer noted the judge "dozed off frequently" for short periods during the hearing and yet decided to wait to see how the ruling went. In the appeal ruling, Justice Jean MacFarland chastised the lawyer and overturned the appeal, the Star said. "While the appellants' trial counsel was not experienced... the record discloses that she did consult with senior litigation counsel in her firm about the judge's inattention," MacFarland wrote. "Counsel was obliged to bring the trial judge's inattention to him at the time." ============================================================== >-->From the Jokester: _)_ .-'(/ '-. / ` \ / - - \ (` a a `) \ ^ / '.

One evening after dinner, a five-year-old boy noticed that his mother had gone out and he asked his father, "Where did Mommy go?" In answer to his question, he was told, "Mommy is at a Tupperware party." This explanation satisfied him for only a moment. Puzzled, he asked, "What's a Tupperware party, Daddy?" The man had always given his son honest answers, so he figured a simple explanation would be the best approach. "Well, son," he said, "at a Tupperware party, a bunch of ladies sit around and sell plastic bowls to each other." He nodded, indicating that he understood this curious pastime. Then he burst out into laughter and said, "Come on, Dad! What is it really?" -<>- Carrots, Eggs, and Coffee A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her he asked. "Darling, what do you see." "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. She humbly asked, "What does it mean Father?" He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. "Which are you," he asked his daughter? "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? " ==================================================================== >-->From ScreamOfTheCrop: As Dry As They Come My father was a simple man. My mother was a simple woman.

If it weren't for marriage, husband and wives would have to fight with strangers. After I told my wife that black underwear turned me on, she didn't wash my shorts for a month. Kippers- fish that like a lot of sleep. The boat was so old; it must have been launched when Long John Silver had two legs and an egg on his shoulder. It was a pretty posh place. They were so used to fur coats that two bears strolled in and ordered lunch and nobody even noticed. I felt as out of place as a left-handed violinist in a crowded string section.

They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration. -- Ernest Newman "Hillary has been staying at home and canceling all her public appearances. As a result, Bill has been staying at home and canceling all of his private appearances." - Conan O'Brien "A new study says the most effective stress reducer is looking out the window. I've been doing this for years. It's even more effective with a telescope. It's great if you've got a neighbor who walks around topless." - Craig Ferguson ---> Visit my CyberHome - ALWAYS OPEN HOUSE :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/index.html Shangrala ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->Bigham's Computer Rescue - PC Sales & Serrvice You can trust us to provide you with quality computer sales and repair.
