I knew the automated voice response system wouldn't be able to handle this issue so I immediately said, "customer service." It did a little beep-boop-bop computing noise, and then insisted that I first pick from its menu, none of the items bore any resemblance to insurance claims. I tried "track a package." It recited the status, followed by "Can I help you with anything else?" I said, more insistently, "customer service," at which it complained that thist was the most recent shipping information. Exasperated -- but a bit curious -- I said, "STUPID MACHINE," and after the little computing noise, it swiftly transferred me to customer service. -<>- >Motivation A neighbor of mine was annoyed because he had to search for his newspaper each morning after the paperboy tossed it. Often he would find it, covered with dirt, under the car in the gravel driveway. Then one-day the paperboy's mother mentioned that her son's ambition was to play professional basketball. My neighbor had an idea. When he got home, he attached a basketball hoop to a post on the front porch. Sure enough, the next morning there was a resounding "plunk" as the newspaper sailed through the hoop and landed by the door. He never had to search for his paper again. -<>- >Price of Gas I do not understand all those people complaining about the ever-increasing price of gas. The price has not changed in years. When I go to the gas station, I ask the attendant to put in $30 worth of gas. Always the same. Some people just like to complain. -<>- >Refrigerator Repair Service A man calling refrigerator repair service: "My refrigerator isn't working!" "What kind is it?" "It's a small one." "Electric, gas or propane?" "Propane." "Ah! Then the problem is most likely vapor lock. You don't need a service call, just turn the refrigerator upside down for a few minutes to allow the lock to clear. Then put it back and all should be well" Second call, a few minutes later: "The least you could have done is to tell me to empty the fridge first!" -<>- >St. Peter's Basilica On a spring break trip to Italy, my friends and I were standing just inside St. Peter's Basilica, one of the largest Christian churches in the world. The tour guide explained, "This church is so large that no man on earth could hit a baseball from one end to the other, not Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron or even Mark McGuire." My group stared in silence at the beautiful marble sculptures, intricate paintings, and glorious mosaics all around the enormous building. Then one tour member interrupted the silence with an astonished question: "You mean, they actually let them hit baseballs in here?" ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend louiseA :) >SMILES Trying To Please Everyone? __...----.. .-' `-. / .---.._ \ | | \ \ | `. | | | | _____ ` ' | | / _.-` `. \ | .'| //'''.' \ `---'_(`.||.`.`.' _.`.'''-. \ _(`'. `.`.`'.-' \\ \ \ (' .' `-._.- / \\ \ | ('./ `-._ .-| \\ || ('.\ | | 0') ('0 __.--. \`----'/ _.--('..| `-- .' .-. `. `--..' _..--..._ _.-' ('.:| . / ` 0 ` \ .' .-' `..' | / .^. | / .' \ ' . `._ .'| `. \`...____.----._.' .'.'| . \ | |_||_||__| // \ | _.-'| |_ `. \ || | | /\ \_| _ _ | || | /. .

As they went along they passed some people Who remarked it was a shame the old man Was walking and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, So they changed positions. Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.' So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought They were stupid to walk when they had a Decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people Who shamed them by saying how awful to Put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man figured they were probably right, So they decide to carry the donkey.

She was astonished -- something's up. It turns out that Ralph had read an article that said wives who worked full-time and had to do their own housework were too tired to make love. The night went well and the next day, she told her office friends all about it. "We had a great dinner. Ralph even cleaned up He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the laundry and put everything away. I really enjoyed the evening." "But what about afterward?" asked her friends. "Oh, that was perfect too. Ralph was too tired...' ------- Two women were bemoaning the state of the National Health Service. One said, "Do you know, my ninety-three-year-old mother has been waiting over a year for her operation?" "That's appalling," said the other woman. "What a terrible way to treat someone of that age." "I know," said the first woman. "It got so bad that at one point I even said to her, 'Mum, do you really need bigger boobs?'" -------- The mother-in-law dropped in after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and packing his suitcase. "What happened?" she asked anxiously. "What happened? I'll tell you what happened. I sent an e-mail to my wife --- your daughter --- telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip. I got home..and guess what I found? Your daughter, Jean, in bed with a naked guy! This is unforgivable, the end of our marriage. I'm done. I'm leaving forever!" "Calm down, calm down!" said his mother-in-law. "There's something very odd about that. Jean would never do such a thing. There must be a simple explanation. I'll go talk to her and find out what happened." A few minutes later, the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and said, "I told you there must be a simple explanation -- she didn't receive your e-mail!" ------- The state has issued a travel warning due to snowfall and icy road conditions. They suggest that anyone traveling on the roads should have the following: Shovel Blankets or sleeping bag Extra clothing including hat and gloves 24 hours' worth of food De-icer Road salt Flashlight with spare batteries Road flares or reflective triangles Full gas can First Aid kit Booster cables I looked like a real idiot on the bus this morning. -------- My wife and I had just left home, heading out on vacation. Suddenly my wife said, "Oh my, dear! I think I left the iron on. I'm afraid the house is going to burn down!" I reassured her, "Don't worry, dear, the house won't burn down." "How can you make a statement like that?" "Because I forgot to turn off the water in the bathtub." -------- Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The man said, "I do, Father." The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?" "Certainly, Father," was the man's reply. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father." The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now." ------- Two Polish hunters named Stosh and Thad, hired a pilot to fly them into the Canadian wilderness, where they managed to bag two big Bull Moose. As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only the hunters, their gear and one Moose. The hunters objected, saying, "Last year we shot two, and the pilot let us take them both ... and he had exactly the same airplane as yours." Reluctantly the pilot, not wanting to be outdone by another bush pilot, gave in and everything was loaded. However, even under full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load, and went down, crashing in the wooded wilderness. Somehow, surrounded by the moose, clothing and sleeping bags, Stosh and Thad survived the crash. After climbing out of the wreckage, Thad asked Stosh, "Any idea where we are?" Stosh replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year." -------- Tom was so excited about his promotion to Vice President of the company he worked for and kept bragging about it to his wife for weeks on end. Finally she couldn't take it any longer, and told him, "Listen, it means nothing, they even have a vice president of peas at the grocery store!" "Really?" he said. Not sure if this was true or not, Tom decided to call the grocery store. A clerk answers and Tom says, "Can I please talk to the Vice President of peas?" The clerk replies, "Canned or frozen?" -------- My wife has not spoken to me in three days. I think it has something to do with what happened on Sunday night when she thought she heard a noise downstairs. She nudged me and whispered, "Wake up, wake up!" "What's the matter?" I asked. "There are burglars in the kitchen. I think they're eating the tuna casserole I made tonight." "That'll teach them!" I replied. -------- An eighty-year-old man was having an annual physical. As the doctor was listening to his heart with the stethoscope, he began muttering, "Oh oh!" The man asked the doctor what the problem was. "Well," said the oc, "you have a serious heart murmur. Do you smoke?" "No," replied the man. "Do you drink in excess? "No," replied the man. "Do you have a love life?" "Yes, I do!" "Well," said the doc, "I'm afraid with this heart murmur, you'll have to give up half your love life." Looking perplexed, the old man said, "Which half? the looking or the thinking?" ------- A group of Americans was touring Ireland. One of the women in the group was a real curmudgeon, constantly complaining. The bus seats are uncomfortable. The food is terrible. It's too hot. It's too cold. The accommodations are awful. The group arrived at the site of the famous Blarney Stone. "Good luck will be followin' ya all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone,"the guide said. "Unfortunately, it's being cleaned today and so no one will be able to kiss it. Perhaps we can come back tomorrow." "We can't be here tomorrow," the nasty woman shouted. "We have some other boring tour to go on. So I guess we can't kiss the stupid stone." "Well now," the guide said, "it is said that if you kiss someone who has kissed the stone, you'll have the same good fortune." "And I suppose you've kissed the stone," the woman scoffed. "No, ma'am," the frustrated guide said, "but I've sat on it." -<>- >IMPOSSIBILITIES IN THE WORLD 1)You can't count your hair. 2)You can't wash your eyes with soap. 3)You can't breathe when your tongue is out.

Thanks LouiseA! ========================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: There are easier ways to burn a doobie. For most people it takes a lighter or a match. This Florida man nearly burned down his house and blacked out the whole neighborhood. Well, there is a price to pay if you want to grow really good chronic, but Ramon Munoz-Rodriguez didn't want to pay that price. Instead he decided to steal the electricity he needed to grow the nearly 70 marijuana plants he had in his house. Volusia County Sheriff's officials say power company technicians arrived at the site to repair a blown transformer fuse. The replacement fuse blew moments after installation, which led to a small fire in a home's meter box and the discovery of extra wires that were illegally siphoning more electricity than a typical house needs. The blown transformer blacked out the whole block. According to Volusia deputies, Rodriguez, 43, had 51 five- foot tall plants and an additional 17 one-foot tall plants in the house. When deputies arrived he was forced to execute his emergency plan of throwing all the plants over the back- yard fence. Rodriguez was charged with possession of narcotics paraphernalia, possession of marijuana over 20 grams, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and manufacture of marijuana. Oddly enough he was not charged with stealing utilities or blacking out the neighborhood. Well, priorities, I guess. *-- Dog saves choking owner's life with a rap on the back --* DREFACH FELINDRE, Wales - A Welsh woman said her concerned dog saved her life when she "bashed" on her back as she was choked on some candy. Rachel Hayes, 40, of Drefach Felindre, said she was eating candy at home when a strawberry pastille became lodged in her throat, the Mirror reported Monday. "It got stuck in the back of my throat and I couldn't get it back up. I couldn't phone anyone because I couldn't talk," Hayes said. She said her springer spaniel, Mollypops, was obviously worried about her. "I was having difficulty breathing but Mollypops' sixth sense kicked in and she knew I was in trouble," Hayes said. "She was insistently trying to help me and I kept pushing her away." "But she kept coming around me because she could see I was trying to get something from my throat. But I kept pushing her away because I couldn't really breathe," she said. "Then Mollypops came up behind me put her paws on me and bashed on my back with such force the sweet came out." Hayes said she is grateful to the canine for the rescue. "I just burst out crying and said, 'I love you.' She came over for a cuddle and I cuddled her. I told her she was a hero," she said. "I gave Mollypops lots of cuddles and, as a thank you, I bought her a squeaky chicken and some doggy sweets." *-- Robot solves Rubik's cube in 3.253 seconds --* BIRMINGHAM, England - A robot created by a pair of British engineers broke a world record by solving a Rubik's cube in 3.253 seconds. David Gilday, a principal engineer at ARM, and Mike Dobson, a security systems engineer for Securi-Plex, said they spent 18 months building the CubeStormer 3 robot and the device made its debut at the Big Bang Fair at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, England, the Birmingham Mail reported Monday. The robot was able to beat the record of 5.27 seconds set by the duo's previous robot, CubeStormer II, two years ago. "The record-breaking attempt is a bit of fun for us," Gilday said. "Our real focus is to demonstrate what can be achieved with readily available technology to inspire young minds into taking a greater interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. There is now potential for robots to cope with disruption." "Our big challenge now is working out if it's possible to make it go even faster," he said. *-- Pennsylvania man uses big brown bag of dog poop as evidence at municipal meeting --* A Pennsylvania man tried to prove a point about his neighborhood having a poop problem by bringing a big, brown bag of dog droppings to a municipal meeting on Thursday night. Ken Guldin presented a large grocery bag full of dog feces as evidence at a meeting with Lower Macungie Township commissioners to prove that poop was an issue in the age-restricted community of Wild Cherry Knoll. When board of commissioners President Ryan Conrad asked "Is that dog feces?" Guldin answered with a "yes," according to The Express-Times. Even though Guldin informed Conrad that the poop was double-bagged, the commissioner requested that the stinky sack be taken off the table. "I appreciate that you're willing to clean it up, but we don't need that..." he said. The Times asked Guldin, 68, to estimate how much poop was in the bag. "I didn't weigh it this time," he responded. Guldin had previously picked up 9.5 pounds of poop in his community during the fall and said that the bag he brought to the commissioners' meeting probably weighed at least that much. *-- Police arrest man for impersonating officer in order to get free continental breakfast --* A Georgia man who is accused of impersonating a police officer in order to get free continental breakfast from a Dunwoody hotel has been arrested. Roche Harris was charged with impersonation of a police officer, simple battery, theft by taking, and loitering and prowling. In December, Harris went to the Staybridge Hotel and attempted to eat the continental breakfast even though he was not a guest at the establishment. When he was confronted by staff, Harris allegedly threw hot water in a manager's face. Last month, Harris returned to the hotel and displayed a badge in an attempt to pass himself off as a law enforcement officer in order to get free food. According to Officer Tim Fecht, Harris returned to the hotel on Sunday and began taking food again. Employees called 911 after recognizing the 36-year-old and Harris was taken into custody. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: {} {} ! ! II II ! ! !

St. Peter asked the second one the second same question, "And who are you?" "It's me, Charlie Anderson." St. Peter took his name and let him in. Finally he turns to the third, asking the same question, "Who are you?" "It is I, Vera Chapman," answered the third. "Oh, great," muttered St. Peter.

Butt clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his overalls fall down to his hips, revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt. Then, grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his stained T-shirt underneath. With a final flourish, he tears the T-shirt from his body, and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay. Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says, "What the world're ya doing, Billy Bob?" "Good grief, Cletus, ya scared the bejeebers out of me," says an obviously embarrassed Billy Bob. "But me 'n the wife been havin trouble lately in the bedroom d'partment, and the therapist suggested I do something sexy to a tractor." -<>- Wayne, a friend of mine, owns an auto-repair business. One day a woman called to inquire when he could work on her car. "I'm not busy now," he replied. "bring it right in." A short time later, the woman pulled into the service bay, stopping her small car perfectly over the wide, deep grease pit. "Wow!" Remarked Wayne. "That's great driving. Your wheels only have a couple of inches to spare on each side of the pit." She looked blankly at him and asked, "What pit?" -<>- We were taking six children on a camping trip. I drove the lead car with our gear, and my husband followed in the station wagon. At a tollbooth, I realized that we hadn't divided the cash supply, and my husband didn't have any money. I paid a double toll, explaining to the woman attendant, "I'm paying for the car behind me. He has all those children and no money." Without cracking a smile, she replied, "Good!
