>Air Conditioning
A technician working at a small not-for-profit organization reports
that they are having problems with the air conditioning in their small
computer room.
"It was routinely getting into the low 80's," he says. "We thought the
air conditioning for the room should be plenty for the space, but we
had added a number of additional systems."
So the organization brings in a vendor to see what beefing up the
cooling system will cost. The quote is in the neighborhood of $25,000
-- way too pricey for this outfit.
"At non-profits, money is never in abundance and we knew we wouldn't be
able to scrape up anywhere close to $25,000," says the technician.
"However, our board required us to get three quotes for any expense
close to that. So we brought in a competing vendor."
The second air-conditioning guy walks into the computer room and looks
around for a minute. Then he picks up a spare cardboard box off the
floor and tapes it over the thermostat. "No charge," he says.
It turns out that an air-conditioning vent was blowing directly onto
the thermostat. So as soon as it would turn on, the thermostat would
register the temperature change and shut the air conditioner off.
The technician reported, "We did end up spending $100 or so to replace
the cardboard box with something nicer ... and to buy dinner for the
second vendor."

A newly married man, feeling a little insecure, asked his wife, "Would

>Rambunctious Threesome
My twins were born when my oldest boy was just 16 months old. When the
twins became toddlers, my brood had grown into a rambunctious
threesome,and I relied on my mother for advice and moral support. One
morning I phoned her to describe how one of the twins had decorated the
living and dining room walls with colorful, indelible felt markers.
"I'll have to paint everything," I wailed. "I'll never be able to scrub
this off!"
Quietly, Mom said, "When you did it, you used lipstick."

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children.
While they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see
each child's Work. As she got to one little girl who was working
diligently, she asked What the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl
Replied, 'They will in a minute.'

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the
Coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then
We don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, "You're in charge of the cooking around here and
You should do it, because that's your job. I can just wait for my
Coffee."
The wife replied, "No you should do it, and besides it's in the
Bible that the man should do the coffee."
The husband replied, " I can't believe that, show me."
So she grabbed her Bible, and opened to the New Testament and showed
Him at the top of several pages, that it indeed said:

A guy is driving around the back woods of Virginia and he sees a
Sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: "Talking Dog for
Sale."
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador
Retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks.
"Yep," the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says
"So, what's your story?"
The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk
When I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told
The CIA and they had me sworn into the toughest branch of the armed
Services... The United States Marines ... You know one of their
Nicknames is "The Devil Dogs".
In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country,
Sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders; because no one
Figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most
Valuable spies for eight years.
The jetting around really tired me out and I knew I wasn't getting
Any younger. So, I decided to settle down. I retired from the
Corps (8 dog years is 56 Corps years) and signed up for a job at the
Airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious
Characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings
And was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of
Puppies, and now I'm just retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants
For the dog.
"Ten dollars," the guy says.
"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling
Him so cheap?"
"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that. He was in the Air

"Cheese It"
The astronauts in the Sea of Tranquility were amazed to discover
That the moon actually did contain large underground deposits of
Cheese. Once outside the landing module, they climbed into the rover
And drove across the lunar surface to obtain samples.
In one location they discovered a large deposit of brie and
Collected twenty-five pounds to bring back to earth. They drove to a
Second location and collected fifty pounds of camembert. In a third
Location they hit a vein of cheddar and collected another fifty
Pounds of samples.
Mission Control crackled through their headsets that it would not be
Satisfied unless they brought back at least another twenty-five
Pounds of brie. The astronauts turned their rover around and
Proceeded to the first location, where they collected another
Twenty-five pounds of the cheese.
The astronauts were almost back to the landing module when Mission
Control radioed that it wanted another twenty-five pounds of brie.
Disgruntled, one of the astronauts sarcastically snapped into his
Microphone, "Have you ever seen such a site in all your life as brie
Mined thrice?"

>They walk among us...
*And the answer is......
NEW YORK - resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her
friends and family when she set a new standard for stupidity
with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be
A Millionaire.'
Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the
first question and proceeded to make what fans of the show
are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.' After
being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans
was posed with a typically easy initial $100 question.
The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) A Car
Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic
as she did not readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a
toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her
disbelief. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things
before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'
Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines,
the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide
which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an
incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.
'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans.
'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'
Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an
office assistant.
'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans,
wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an
important question. Which of the following is the largest?
B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon.
Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten
seconds. 'Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you?
Duh, that can't be it.'
To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take
her friend's advice. 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy.
She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the
audience,' said Evans.
Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98%
in favor of *answer C, 'The Moon.'
Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest
choice of her life. 'Wow, seems like everybody is against what
I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know,
sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see...
I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.'
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting
with bated breath - and was told that she was wrong, and that
the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

*This one is equally unbelievable.**(No comments needed!)*
Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old
fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying:
'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.'
For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice.
He eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this
deal. So he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'
The next day someone stole it!

*A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN
CONGRESS, - TRUE STORY - :
A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function
where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the
opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a
question with which he was most at ease.
'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a
mental deficiency in somebody who appears ompletely normal?'
'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which
anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that
puts you on the track..'
'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi.
Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made hree trips around the
world and died during one of them. Which one?''
Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You
wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I
don't know much about history.'

>From BizarreNews:
Wow. Now I know that if I ever want to generate a lot of
reader comments all I have to do is start talking about
gun control (safety). Unfortunately, half of the comments
are from readers telling me they are unsubscribing.
Fortunately, half of the people telling me they are
unsubscribing never unsubscribe (or else how would they
know if their comment got published).
But there are issues other than gun violence and gun
control which demand our attention; like the slow
unraveling of western civilization. The news today
read like signposts marking the progressive dissolution
of society. These problems need to be addressed. Are
there solutions?
Take the story of a 29-year-old mother who was attacked
while shopping in a Bed Bath & Beyond in Middletown, NJ.
The 19-year-old assailant approached her, apparently
randomly, and began stabbing her multiple times, puncturing
both her lungs before he fled.
Fortunately the victim survived, but clearly what is needed
here is more knife control. If there were fewer knives on
the streets this tragedy might not have happened.
Then there is the story of a Dallas grocery store clerk
who was brutally attacked during a robbery. His assailant
put him into a coma by beating him repeatedly in the head
with several hammers. Several! Why are there not federally
mandated hammer locks? And a limit on the number of hammers
a person can buy should be a no-brainer.
Finally, in Philadelphia, a poor woman who was waiting for
a train at a subway station was approached by a homeless
man who asked her for a light. When she reached into her
pocket he grabbed her and began punching her multiple
times. He then dragged her to the edge of the platform
threw her onto the tracks, afterward running away with her
cell phone.
When are our elected officials going to see that what we
need to do is register the homeless? Perhaps create a
database where information on the homeless can be shared
so we know who and where they are?
When these practical, common sense steps are taken, then
we can safely and comfortably ignore the plague of mental
illness, the corruption of education and the erosion of
our cultural values and mores.
Let the email flagellation begin.
*-- Pot pie burglar enters drug treatment --*
SALISBURY, Md. - A Maryland man who broke down the door of
a house, took off his pants and ate a chicken pot pie was
spared jail when he agreed to enter drug treatment. Russell
Neff, 23, pleaded guilty to first degree burglary and was
sentenced to 10 years in jail with all but time served
suspended when he agreed to enter a drug treatment court
program Jan. 11, The Daily Times, Salisbury, Md., reported
Thursday. Police said Neff broke down the door to a
stranger's Salisbury home in August and cooked and ate a
chicken pot pie from the home's kitchen, The Washington
Post reported. Officers arrived to find Neff clad in only
his underwear and licking a television remote control,
police said.
*-- Pa. prison offers 'love' tours --*
PHILADELPHIA - A former prison in Philadelphia is offering
special Valentine's Day tours themed around "love stories
throughout the prison's history." Officials said Eastern
State Penitentiary, which operated as a prison from 1829
until 1971, will offer romantic Winter Adventure Tours
Feb. 14-17 with a focus on the love stories from the
years of the prison's operation. "During these four days,
visitors can experience the history of Eastern State with
an added focus on love stories throughout the prison's
history," the attraction's website said. The love stories
detailed on the tour will include the stories of Elizabeth
Velora Elwell and Albert Green Jackson, inmates who
exchanged letters and met secretly in the prison's cellar,
and inmate Sydney Ware, who married socialite Ella Hershey
before she secured his pardon. Tickets for the tours are
being sold as buy one, get one free to encourage visitors
to bring their significant others.
*-- Man gave wedgies for YouTube video --*
BRADENTON, Fla. - Police in Florida said they arrested a
YouTube prankster accused of giving wedgies to strangers
at a movie theater. Manatee County sheriff's deputies said
Charles Ross, 18, of Bradenton, and a friend went to the
Royal Palm Theater Sunday night and Ross began giving
wedgies to strangers while his friend took video footage,
the Bradenton Herald reported Tuesday. Deputies said most
of the alleged victims were too embarrassed to press
charges, but one said charges would be filed. Investigators
said Ross is known by local law enforcement for pranks he
pulls for his YouTube videos. Ross and his friend were
ejected from the theater and told they would be arrested
if they returned. The camera was seized as evidence.
*-- Swedes shed pants to ride trains --*
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - More than 100 people in Stockholm,
Sweden, shed their trousers in cold weather for the annual
No Pants Subway Ride. Betty Jarra, an organizer of the
event, said the underdressed people on the commuter trains
Sunday were taking part in what has become an annual
tradition, The Local.se reported Monday. "It's always been
a success since we started with just eight people back in
2009. And it works because it makes people happy, and it
gets them to react. It doesn't matter how they react --
as long as they do," Jarra said. "People get engaged more
than they usually do in Stockholm and we think that's
important," she said. The event was inspired by a New York
tradition, started in 2002 by performance group Improv
Everywhere. There are now No Pants Subway Rides in 60
cities around the world.

>My kind of salesman
Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard,
got called up to active duty. Boudreaux's first assignment was in a
military induction center. Because he was a good talker, they assigned
him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits,
especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled.
The officer in charge soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99%
sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance.
This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $30.00
per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was
already providing at no charge.
The officer decided he'd sit in the back of the room at the next
briefing and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch. Boudreaux stood up before
the latest group of inductees and said, "If you has da normal GI
insurans an' you goes to Afghanistan an' gets youself killed, da
govment' pays you benefishery $20,000. If you takes out da suppmental
insurans, which cost you only t'irty dollars a munt, den da governmen'

My 10-year-old daughter has decided she is an environmentalist.
So she talked me into participating in an aggressive recycling
effort with her.
Last week she and I took what proved to be 134 pounds of card-

gas and ice cream, we turned a profit of -$7.85.
We're going to use generally accepted accounting principles

put down for her aspirations. Where it read "Vocational Plans"
she had written, "Florida."

A wife asked her husband, "Honey, could you please run to
the store and get a carton of milk, and if they have eggs,
get a dozen."
A while later the husband returned with a case of quart
milk cartons.
Staring incredulously at the 12-pack case of milk, his wife
asked, "Why the hell did you buy so much milk?"
Her husband said, "They had eggs."

The young man ahead of my father at the flower shop was
taking an unusually long time to place his order.
When the clerk asked how she could help, he explained that
his girlfriend was turning 19 and he couldn't decide whether
to give her a dozen roses or 19 roses -- one for each year
of her life.
The woman put aside her business judgment and advised,
"She may be your 19-year-old girlfriend now, but someday
she could be your 50-year-old wife."
The young man bought a dozen roses.
-<>-
My friend sat down with a new client at her gym to review
her application. For the question "To what do you attribute
your fitness issues?" the woman wrote, "Horrendous eating
habits."
"What makes you answer that?" my friend asked.
The woman replied, "I can't spell atrocious."

>Things NOT to say to a pregnant woman
"Honey, come on, you're blocking the big screen TV!"
"No, I don't mind. Helping you get up out of the chair is a
bit habit forming."
"Sorry I can't give you a hug, my arms aren't that long."
"What do you mean, the seat belt won't fit?!"
"So the doctor said you're going to get, um, even bigger?"
"Why not wear one of my shirts? Oh, they don't fit either..."
"Bet you $20 I can outrun you across the back yard!"
"Come on, as soon as my team breaks this tied game, we'll
leave for the hospital."
"Since your contractions are so far apart, how about cooking
us some boiled cabbage and sauerkraut before we leave?"
"Maybe someday you'll return the favor and tie MY shoes."
"But why can't you trim your own toe nails?"
...and anything said while she is looking in the mirror just
after taking a bath.

>TONGUE TWISTERS
Sam's shop stocks short spotted socks.
A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea, "Let us fly!"
Said the fly, "Let us flee!"
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
Knapsack straps.
Which wristwatches are Swiss wristwatches?
Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better.
A bitter biting bittern
Bit a better brother bittern,
And the bitter better bittern
Bit the bitter biter back.
And the bitter bittern, bitten,
By the better bitten bittern,
Said: "I'm a bitter biter bit, alack!"
Inchworms itching.
A noisy noise annoys an oyster.
The myth of Miss Muffet.
Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw!

It sure goes SLOW!!

>-->Quotes & Thunkers:
"Listen to this. The New York Times is now reporting it's
possible to catch the flu from money. They say the virus
can live on a $20 bill for more than 10 days. So, not only
is the virus contagious, it's also very frugal." --Jay Leno
"A new study says that women who drink moderate amounts of
alcohol every day lose more weight than women that don't
drink at all. At least, that's what your wife will slur
to you after she forgets to pick up the kids from soccer
practice." -Jimmy Kimmel
"It's being reported that a woman took her 5-year-old son
along on a bank robbery. Apparently, she told the teller,
'Give me all your money or I'm leaving my 5-year-old.'"
-Conan O'Brien
"I want to host the Miss America show next year. I will
only ask ridiculous questions like, 'Miss Tennessee, the
hippopotamus is said to be the most dangerous animal in
the world. If one got into your hair, how would you kill
it?'" -Jimmy Kimmel
"They found an opossum on the subway. Here's what we know
about the opossum. What they do is pretend to play dead so
predators will leave them alone. Well, isn't that everybody
on the subway?" -David Letterman
"A seventh grade teacher in California was arrested for
teaching while drunk. Which is why an entire Earth Science
class now thinks hurricanes are formed when rum collides
with lime juice, passion fruit, and crushed ice in a hot
pink souvenir cup from Senor Frog's." -Jimmy Fallon
"A recent article says yoga-related injuries are on the
rise. It's not surprising that yoga fans are upset with
this article. After all, it's easy for them to get bent
out of shape." -Craig Ferguson
"A survey found that 61 percent of people are more afraid of
outliving their money than dying. The other 39 percent have
already outlived their money and have faked their own death
to avoid creditors." -Jay Leno
"A man in Colorado dropped an engagement ring down a sewer
drain while proposing to his girlfriend. Up until then,
his romantic proposal atop a sewer was going so well."
-Jimmy Fallon
"A professor of African-American studies at Harvard by the
name of Cornell West has just released an album of hip-hop
music. You can tell he's from Harvard because his rap name
is Ph.D."
- Jay Leno
"My mom always said men are like linoleum floors: Lay 'em
right and you can walk all over them for 30 years."
- Grace Under Fire
"Nuclear physics is much easier than tax law. It's rational
and always works the same way."
- Jerold Rochwald
