Some sites have them hitting the user in every direction and even obscuring the article. I was searching for some things this weekend - just doing some normal information type surfing and found most sites to be beyond annoying but down right irritating. I saw some that have only the same as a paragraph of content and then expect their visitors to continue loading page after page of ads [as many as 9 pages] just to be able to read their full article or view all their related photos that go with that article! Being a web site owner, I understand why they are doing this. Revenue from ads is down to just about a third of what it was this time last year. To make it, many have had to vamp up their ads to just come out even! It is a shame how the market has gone. It makes it worse for all of us. However, like most people, I find the ads way over the top. Especially those sites that put their content under their Facebook, twitter etc. social media buttons or video ads and expect their visitors to scroll the page up and down or close the video just to read the article or see the pictures! Crazy! I want you to know that my web site is not like that. I am suffering a huge hit in revenue from not being like them, but I'm keeping it real. I am not making folks load tons of ads or having any auto loading video ads pop up as soon as the page starts to load. I refuse to make my visitors suffer through this. Your wait on my pages shall remain simply to load the photos or the music - not to load tons of ads. I value you and always will! :) -<>- >3 HOT Off The 'Shangy' Press :) Our first scorcher comes from our friends Geniann and Linda. I found this super interesting.

Our kindergarten class went to the fire station for a tour and some instruction in fire safety. The fireman was explaining what to do in case of a fire. He said, "First, go to the door and feel the door to see if it's hot." Then he said, "Fall to your knees. Does anyone know why you ought to fall to your knees?" One of the little tykes said, "Sure! To start praying to ask God to get us out of this mess!" -------- Master Sergeant Alfie was a thirty-year Army veteran now assigned to a training battalion and tough as nails. He seemed to have no thought whatsoever about how others responded to his cut-and-dried military manner. One day he assembled the training battalion and announced, "Private Monroe, take one step forward." Private Monroe took one step forward, and the sergeant bellowed, "Private Monroe. Report to the chaplain; your mother just died." Monroe just crumbled and fainted dead away from shock. Later that day, the battalion commander chewed out the master sergeant: "You're going to have to learn something about TACT. You just can't yell at a man and tell him his mother just died. The next time you're called on for this duty, you'd better do it in a more compassionate way." It just so happened that the very next day, another soldier's mother died, and the MSGT assembled the troops again. "All you whose mother is living" he shouted, "take one step forward. NOT SO FAST, TAYLOR!" -------- It was a difficult subject to bring before his aged mother, but John felt that he must. "Mom, you are no longer a spring chicken and you do need to think ahead of what will happen in the future. Why don't we make arrangements about when..... you know... when.... God forbid... you pass on?" The mother didn't say anything, just sat there staring ahead. "I mean, Mom, like.... how do you want to finally go? Do you want to be buried? Cremated?" There was yet another long pause. Then the mother looked up and said, "Son, why don't you simply surprise me?" -<>- /\ _ / \ | | / /\ \| | / / \ \ | / / | \ \| / / | \ \ / / | \ \ / / |_______ \ \ / /|| .--. ||\ \ /_/ |8 / /`' *|| \_\ || \ \_, || || '--' || || | || || | || || ()|| || | || || | || ||| || |8 | || jgs\\\|| | ||///// \\\\""""""""""""//// >THE OUTHOUSE The service station trade was slow The owner sat around, With sharpened knife and cedar stick Piled shavings on the ground. No modern facilities had they, The log across the rill Led to a shack, marked His and Hers That sat against the hill. "Where is the ladies restroom, sir?" The owner leaning back, Said not a word but whittled on, And nodded toward the shack. With quickened step she entered there But only stayed a minute, Until she screamed, just like a snake Or spider might be in it. With startled look and beet-red face She bounded through the door, And headed quickly for the car Just like three gals before. She missed the foot log - jumped the stream The owner gave a shout, As her silk stockings, down at her knees Caught on a sassafras sprout. She tripped and fell - got up, and then In obvious disgust, Ran to the car, stepped on the gas, And faded in the dust. Of course we all desired to know What made the gals all do The things they did, and then we found The whittling owner knew. A speaking system he'd devised, To make the thing complete, He tied a speaker on the wall Beneath the toilet seat. He'd wait until the gals got set And then the devilish tyke Would stop his whittling long enough, To speak into the mike. And as she sat, a voice below Struck terror, fright and fear, "Will you please use the other hole, We're painting under here!" --- ...LOL! Oh My! Thanks LouiseA! What a wicked man!

She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Ontario and mine is in Tucson. I take my wife everywhere. But she keeps finding her way back. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was, she told me "In the Lake." She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said "No, lady, jump right in!" Remember. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her. The last fight was my fault.

All the people in the library started staring at the man, who was deeply embarrassed and quickly moved to another table. After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the man's table and said with a laugh: "I study psychology, and I know what a man is thinking; I bet you felt embarrassed, right?" The man responded in a loud voice: "$500 FOR ONE NIGHT? ... I`M NOT PAYING YOU THAT MUCH!" All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock. The man whispered to her: "I study law, and I know how to bamboozle people". ------- After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, a woman sitting next to him pulled out her mobile phone. She started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart. It's Sue. I'm on the train". "Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting. No, honey, not with that Kevin from the accounting office. It was with the boss. No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart!" Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly. When the man sitting next to her had enough, he leaned over and said into the phone, "Sue, hang up the phone and come back to bed."

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.

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising home along a country road one evening when an ancient cow loomed in front of the car. The driver tried to avoid it but couldn't. The aged cow was struck and killed. Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happened and pay them for the cow. She stayed in the car making phone calls and erasing emails. About an hour later the driver staggered back to the car with his clothes in disarray. He was holding a half-empty bottle of expensive wine in one hand, a huge Cuban cigar in the other, and was smiling happily, smeared with lipstick. "What happened to you," asked Hillary? "Well," the driver replied, "the farmer gave me the cigar, his wife gave me the wine, and their beautiful twin daughters made passionate love to me." "What did you tell them?" asked Hillary. The driver replied, "I just stepped inside the door and said, 'I'm Hillary Clinton's driver and I've just killed the old cow.' The rest happened so fast I couldn't stop it." ------- Bill tried to cheer up Hillary this morning by reminding her that Nelson Mandela wasn't elected President until he had served 27 years in prison… -<>- .---. |#__| =;===;= / - - \ ( _'.'_ ) .-`-'^'-`-. | `>o<' | / : \ / /\ : /\ \ .-'-/ / .-. \ \-'-. |_/ /-' '-\ \_| /| | |\ (_| /^\ |_) | | | | jgs | | | | '==='= ='===' >How's this for having the "inside track"?

The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner Here's a little fact for automotive buffs, or just to dazzle your friends. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Maxwell, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees. The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet- talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter. Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees inside, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent. The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed. Now old man Ford was more than just a little ego-centric, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name or any other name on his two million Fords. They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown. And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show -- Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls. Control yourself ! Just forward it on. This is what happens when you are retired and have too much time on your hands! --- ...Geesh! I'll say! HAHA!

Domino's Pizza in Berkeley, California, delivered a box of pizza and chicken wings to Mike Vegas, who works as a bartender in San Francisco. Vegas said that he ate the pizza, but placed the wings in his refrigerator for when he returned home from his overnight shift. When he returned home at 5:00 a.m., pulled the chicken wings from the refrigerator and found $1,300 in cash! Vegas then checked his missed calls and realized that the frantic delivery driver had called him numerous times in an attempt to locate the missing money, but since he had been at work, he did not take the calls. Vegas has posted a picture on Facebook, showing two stacks of bills, one containing $666 and another $633. He decided to do the right thing and return the money to Domino's Pizza. He was rewarded with a year's supply of free pizza for his honesty. -<>- They're called the munchies. And when they hit you have got to do something about it. Anyone who has been on their way home at three in the morning after a long night knows that feeling. That's why I think most people can sympathize, at least a little bit, with this Florida man who was out of options one early morning. Police said that the man broke into two houses in Boca Raton, first to steal a pizza and then to take a nap. The incident began about 3:00 a.m., when a 19-year-old woman found 24-year-old Milor Michel inside her home. The woman said that she and her roommate found him in the kitchen, rummaging through their refrigerator before he removed pizza, according to the arrest report. He then sat down on the couch to eat the pizza. He told the two roommates that he was a friend of their other roommate. The women did not believe him and demanded that he leave the house. After leaving the home, Michel entered another house in the neighborhood and fell asleep on the couch. A 19-year-old woman who lived there, found Michel sleeping just before 7:00 a.m. Next to him was a half a container of orange juice. She asked the man to leave while another roommate called police. Michel is accused of theft of an occupied structure. *-- Taco Bell fires worker from viral hand-in-pants photo --* SANDUSKY, Ohio - Taco Bell officials said an employee at an Ohio franchise was fired after a viral photo on social media showed him with his hand down the back of his pants. The picture, which was posted to Taco Bell's official Facebook page by concerned customers, shows an employee at a Sandusky, Ohio, location with his left hand down the back of his pants -- apparently inside his underwear. The Erie County Health Department said officials visited the store after a complaint about the photo was lodged with the department Monday. Taco Bell released a statement in response to the controversial photo. "This is completely unacceptable. Our franchisee took immediate action and has terminated the employee and retrained the entire staff. We want customers to know that the person in the photo was never in contact with the food, and that the Health Department inspected the restaurant and approved its operations." The company fired two Taco Bell workers in June of 2013 after a viral photo emerged showing one of the employees licking a stack of taco shells. The company said the shells were for training purposes and were not served to customers. *-- Escaped tarantula grounds Delta plane overnight in Baltimore --* BALTIMORE - A Delta plane was grounded overnight in Baltimore when a tarantula escaped from its container in the cargo hold and was spotted by baggage handlers. Delta spokesman Brian Kruse said Atlanta-bound Flight 1525 was scheduled to take off from Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport at 7 p.m. Wednesday, but the pilot decided to ground the plane after baggage handlers discovered the loose arachnid in the cargo hold. Kruse said the pilot wanted to ensure the baboon tarantula was the only one loose on the plane. "They were able to capture it, and they contacted the handler" to ensure there hadn't been any other tarantulas in the same cage, Kruse told the Baltimore Sun. "We have to make the safe decision on that -- being bitten by a tarantula is not a good thing," CNN quoted the pilot as saying. The passengers were moved to another aircraft, which departed about three hours behind schedule. A passenger told WRDW-TV a flight crew member told him there were a total 750 tarantulas on board the plane and most of them had gotten loose, but Kruse said only the one spider was ever free and it never left the cargo hold. *-- PETA sues to give monkey ownership of selfie --* SAN FRANCISCO - Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed a lawsuit in San Francisco seeking to give a monkey ownership of its selfie photo. The group filed a U.S. federal court lawsuit in San Francisco arguing Naruto, a macaque monkey known to researchers in Indonesia, should be the legal owner of pictures he snapped in 2011 using a camera set up by photographer David J. Slater. The lawsuit names Slater; his company, Wildlife Personalities Ltd.; and publisher Blurb, which issued a collection of Slater's photographs that included two of the selfies snapped by Naruto. The suit is seeking to have the monkey declared the "author" and legal owner of the photograph. The picture has been in dispute for more than a year. Website Wikimedia Commons posted some of the pictures snapped by the monkey last year, labeling them public domain, and Slater attempted to have them removed, claiming the copyright he obtained in Britain should be applied globally. "I've told them it's not public domain, they've got no right to say that it's public domain. A monkey pressed the button, but I did all the setting up," Slater told the National Post last year. Wikimedia refused to remove the pictures, saying Slater doesn't own the copyright on the image because he didn't shoot the photo himself. "Our argument is simple: U.S. copyright law doesn't prohibit an animal from owning a copyright, and since Naruto took the photo, he owns the copyright, as any human would," PETA said in a press release. *-- Mom: Boy's pre-K teacher called left-handedness 'evil,' 'unlucky' --* OKEMEH, Okla. - An Oklahoma mom said her 4-year-old son's pre-K teacher forced him to write with his right hand and sent home an article calling left-handedness "evil." Alisha Sands said her 4-year-old son, Zayde, started pre-K recently at Oakes Elementary in Okemah and she noticed last week while he was doing homework that he was using his right hand despite being left-handed. "I just asked 'Is there anything his teachers ever asked about his hands?' And he raises this one and says this one's bad," Sands told KFOR-TV. Sands said she sent a note to school with Zayde and the teacher's response was to send home an article that said left-handedness is "unlucky," "evil" and "sinister." "For example, the devil is often portrayed as left-handed," the article said. Sands said the teacher's response shocked her. "It breaks my heart for him because someone actually believes that, believes my child is evil because he's left handed, it's crazy," Sands said. The mother said she contacted the superintendent with the article, but there was no action taken. "There was no suspension of any kind. There was basically nothing done to this teacher," Sands said. "She told them she thought I needed literature on it." Sands said she is trying to get Zayde transferred to another class. "I don't feel like the school did what they were supposed to for him," Sands said. The principal at Oakes Elementary said officials are investigating the matter and declined to comment further. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Linda :) .;;;;;. .3333o ;;;` e\ /a Y33 ;;( > < )33 /\\ _< o@*O@o >_ .-/ /\ ||/'--( *O\@/o )--'\|| || \ \ _ > < _ / / || || \ \| |~| / \ |~| |/ / || || \ '-'__...._|_|__\___/__|_|_...__'-' / || || '--/` `\--' || ||.--'` | | `'--.|| || | | || ||'===== '--...._________________.....--' ====='|| ||.-"""""-.||| | | |||.-"""""-.|| || || || | | ||| || || ||-'|| ||__|__ __|__||| ||'-|| || jgs ||_.___) (___._||| || >Blonde Cooking Diary It's fun to cook for Bob. Monday I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me the extra bowls. Tuesday He wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when he brought a friend home for supper Wednesday A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any. Thursday Today he asked for salad again I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.. Friday I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it.. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left. Saturday He did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I don't have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason he keeps counting to ten. Sunday I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius..I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week! I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe.

A fifteen year-old boy came home with a new Chevrolet Avalanche and his parents began to yell and scream, "Where did you get that truck???!!!" He calmly told them, "I bought it today." With what money?" demanded his parents. They knew what a Chevrolet Avalanche cost. Well," said the boy, "this one cost me just fifteen dollars." So the parents began to yell even louder. "Who would sell a truck like that for fifteen dollars?" they said. It was the lady up the street," said the boy. I don't know her name - they just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Chevrolet Avalanche for fifteen dollars." Oh my Goodness!," moaned the mother, "she must be a child abuser. Who knows what she will do next? John, you go right up there and see what's going on." So the boy's father walked up the street to the house where the lady lived and found her out in the yard calmly planting petunias! He introduced himself as the father of the boy to whom she had sold a new Chevrolet Avalanche for fifteen dollars and demanded to know why she did it. "Well," she said, "this morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a Business Trip, but learned from a friend he had ran off to Hawaii with his mistress and really doesn't intend to come back. He claimed he was stranded and needed cash, and asked me to sell his new Chevrolet Avalanche and send him the money. So I did." -<>- __ (`/\ `=\/\ __...--~~~~~-._ _.-~~~~~--...__ `=\/\ \ / \\ `=\/ V \\ //_\___--~~~~~~-._ | _.-~~~~~~--...__\\ // ) (..----~~~~._\ | /_.~~~~----.....__\\ ===( INK )==========\\|//==================== __ejm\___/________dwb`---`____________________________________________ A bookseller conducting a market survey asked a woman – “Which book has helped you most in your life?” The woman replied – “My husband’s cheque book !!” A prospective husband in a book store “Do you have a book called, ‘Husband – the Master of the House’?

You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy. Here are the Stella's for 2015 !!!! * SEVENTH PLACE * Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own. * SIXTH PLACE * Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps. * FIFTH PLACE * Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more... Double hand scratching after this one.. * FOURTH PLACE * Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor’s beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun. Pick a new spot to scratch, you're getting a bald spot.. * THIRD PLACE * Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. *SECOND PLACE* Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000...oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure. Ok. Here we go!! * FIRST PLACE * ~ absolutely brilliant! This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and over turned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, ARE YOU SITTING DOWN ? $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home. If you think the USA court system is out of control, be sure to pass this one on. --- ...LOL! Thanks Linda! It's like going to hell in a hand basket and then when it breaks suing the devil for the misfortune - not only suing him but winning! ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: Seem to be or not seem to be.... \ ,,,,,, /e ''( (_ ` \ ___> \ / ,_\-.___ \_ / _)/ / \ | \ / ` _ | __\____/ / ' | / _ /______/ / _/ \,_____/o ( \__)/` \ / \__________/_/_ _/ \ \ )/ \ / / | /\ ( \_____/ ___/ \ \ _/ \ ______/_/___|_| ) \ / / o\ o\ / / /\ b'ger,,,'-----^--',,,,,,',,|_,,\_ ,,\/,, >Thoughts On... Incompetence: "When you earnestly believe you can make up for a lack of skill by doubling your effort, there's no end to what you can't do." Arrogance: "The Best Leaders Inspire by Example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well too." Fear: "Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at Sea." Sacrifice: "Your role may be thankless, but if you are willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who out- last you." and my favorite right now... Irresponsibility: "No Single Raindrop believes it is to Blame for the Flood." -<>- The boss joined a group of his workers in the company break room and told a joke he'd heard recently. Everybody laughed loudly. Everybody, that is, except Dewey. When he noticed that he was getting no reaction from Dewey, the boss said, "What's the matter, Dewey? No sense of humor?" "My sense of humor is fine," he said. "But I don't have to laugh. I'm quitting tomorrow." -<>- According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the Bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. -<>- I was traveling through Georgia last summer and stopped at a little backwoods country store. In the men's room there was a handwritten sign above the malfunctioning potty which said, "Please Wiggel Handel". Below that some wit had written, "If I do, will it wiggel Bach?" -<>- My family physician told me of an incident that actually happened to him back in the early days of his practice. He said a woman brought her baby to see him, and he determined right away that the baby had an earache. He wrote a prescription for ear drops. In the directions he wrote, "Put two drops in right ear every four hours" and he abbreviated "right" as an R with a circle around it. Several days passed, and the woman returned with her baby, complaining that the baby still had an earache, and his little behind was getting really greasy with all those drops of oil. The doctor looked at the bottle of ear drops and sure enough, the pharmacist had typed the following instructions on the label: "Put two drops in R ear every four hours." -<>- I spotted several pairs of men's Levi's jeans at a garage sale. They were sizes 30, 31, and 32, but I was looking for size 33. So I asked the owner if he had a pair. He shook his head. "I'm still wearing the 33s," he said. "Come back next year." -<>- My sister didn't do as well on her driver's ed test as she'd hoped. It might have had something to do with how she completed this sentence: "When the ______ is dead, the car won't start." She wrote: "Driver." -<>- My ten-month-old was sitting in her high chair, twisting and moving all over the place. My wife who was trying to feed her said to me, "Straighten her up." I looked at my daughter and said, "What are you doing with your life? Do you want to be this way forever? It's time to grow up and take some responsibility." My wife hasn't asked me to help with her since. -<>- I was in a couple's home trying to fix their Internet connection. The husband called out to his wife in the other room for the computer password. "Start with a capital S, then 123," she shouted back. We tried S123 several times, but it didn't work. So we called the wife in. As she input the password, she muttered, "I really don't know what's so difficult about typing Start123." ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: : '. _ .' -= (~) =- .' # '. /""""" | (')') C _) \ _| \__/ <___Y> / \ :\\ / | :|\ |___| :|/\ | | :|\ \ \ \ :| \ \_ \ \==L| \\\ ///` || | || | || | || | || | || | || [___]] jgs (____)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ** Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, "Make me feel important."

Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, student reminded the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves. The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per the court of law, student has to pay me. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me because he would have won his first case. So either way I will have to get the money". Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher. And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything". This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history. -<>- _.(-)._ .' '. / \ |'-...___...-'| \ '=' / `'._____.'` / | \ /.--'|'--.\ []/'-.__|__.-'\[] | jgs [] >Facts About Men 1. Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved. 2. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry. 3. If you buy your husband a video camera, for the first few weeks he has it, lock the door when you go to the bathroom. Most of my husband's early films end with a scream and a flush. 4. Be careful of men who are bald and rich; the arrogance of "rich" usually cancels out the nice of "bald." 5. Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle. 6. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him. 7. If it's attention you want, don't get involved with a man during play-off season. 8. Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important. 9. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches. 10. All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals. 11. The way a man looks at himself in a mirror will tell you if he can ever care about anyone else. 12. Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know. 13. Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps. 14. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow, instead of a gun. 15. A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe. 16. Men love gadgets and lots of it. My husband has practically everything from Sharper Image. Name it, he has it, but does he need all of them - I didn't think so. 17. All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwarzkopf. 18. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally. 19. Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough to get a bikini wax. 20. All men think that they're nice guys. Some of them are not. Contact me for a list of names. 21. Men don't get cellulite. God might just be a man. 22. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy. 23. Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore. 24. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say, "Oh, my, I'm so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo." 25. Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door. -<>- _..-------++._ _.-'/ | _|| \"--._ __.--'`._/_\j_____/_||___\ `----. _.--'_____ | \ _____ / _j /,---.\ | =o | /,---.\ |_ [__]==// .-. \\==`===========/==// .-. \\=[__] `-._|\ `-' /|___\_________/___|\ `-' /|_.' hjw `---' `---' >Signs You've Bought A Bad Car * The car reaches its optimum speed when going downhill. * The hi-tech stereo system often requires a new needle. * Your tinted windows are also known as "Hefty Garbage Bags". * The rear-view mirror says, "Objects in Mirror Are Better Than This Piece of Junk." * The odometer on the dashboard is not as sophisticated as the everyday abacus. * Traffic Watch warns other drivers what highway you're taking. * The sticker on the windshield says, "Batteries Not Included." * You fill up the tank with Unleaded Coal. * You can only go to restaurants that offer Valet Pushing. * When you approach hitchhikers, they put their thumbs down. -<>- >What Do YOU Call It? After reading an ad offering split, dry firewood for $60 a cord, including delivery, Ernie phoned in an order. During the drop-off, though, Ernie became upset. "That's not a full cord of wood," he objected. "That's what I call a cord," the man answered firmly. Grudgingly, Ernie fished around in his pocket and thrust some bills into the man's hands. "Hey, wait a minute," the woodsman complained after counting the money. "You only gave me $30." With a shrug of the shoulders, Ernie replied, "That's what I call $60." -<>- >Looking Like You A bald man took a seat in a beauty salon. "How can I help you?" asked the stylist. "I went for a hair transplant," the man explained, "but I couldn't stand the pain. If you can make my hair look like yours without causing me any discomfort, I'll pay you $5000." "No problem," said the stylist, and she quickly shaved her head. -<>- >What Would You Do The navy psychiatrist was interviewing a potential sailor. To check on the young man's response to trouble, the psychiatrist asked, "What would you do if you looked out of that window right now and saw a battleship coming down the street?" The baby sailor said, "I'd grab a torpedo and sink it." "Where would you get the torpedo?" "The same place you got your battleship!" -<>- >Blonde Passenger's Responds As a Delta Air Lines jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the copilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system. "Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep." From the cabin, a blonde passenger was heard to exclaim, "Wow! It just missed the highway!" -<>- _,------.__ / ' ) (__ ,-<@\ ((\\ `-. \Y ( , '^< `-' ` / __\ \ ,--' ( Stef `----------' >Speak Up Please A man realized he needed to purchase a hearing aid, but he felt unwilling to spend much money. "How much do they run?" he asked the clerk. "That depends," said the salesman. "They run from $2.00 to $2,000." "Let's see the $2.00 model," he said. The clerk put the device around the man's neck. "You just stick this button in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket," he instructed. "How does it work?" the customer asked. "For $2.00 it doesn't work," the salesman replied.

You can tell it's getting colder, 'cuz today I saw a rat on the subway trying to carry a pumpkin spice latte." -Jimmy Fallon "The Pope is coming to America. When the Pope's plane lands in the United States, President Obama is going to be there to greet him. President Obama is going to be the guy at arrivals holding a sign that says 'Pope.'" -Conan O'Brien "A couple in Michigan is being sued for $2 million after they burned down their apartment complex while trying to cook a squirrel with a blowtorch. I'm not an accountant, but it SOUNDS like they might not have $2 million." -Seth Meyers "I saw that top congressional leaders sent a statement to the House and Senate with guidelines for Pope Francis' visit. In addition to 'no shaking hands,' Congress was given a lot of rules about the Pope's visit. First, there's 'Don't fake-sneeze just to get an easy blessing out of the Pope.'" -Jimmy Fallon "Yogi Berra, Hall of Fame catcher and manager for the Yankees and Mets, passed away yesterday at 90 years old. A great catcher and a great character. He had so many classic quotes. Yogi Berra is the guy who said, '90 percent of the game is half mental.' He also said, 'It's deja vu all over again,' and 'It ain't over till it's over.' He was known as much for messing up metaphors as he was for baseball. " -Jimmy Kimmel "A pair of Ohio teens were caught this weekend using a beer bong to drink full two-liter bottles of Mountain Dew. It's a rare case where the punishment is the crime." -Seth Meyers "A 'Toy Story' fan in England changed his name to Buzz Lightyear and was then refused a driver's license until he changed his name back.

The fake phone number you get when you tell a girl you're a math blogger." -Jimmy Fallon "Year, (noun) A period of three hundred and sixty-five disappointments." --Ambrose Bierce's DEVIL'S DICTIONARY "Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example." --Mark Twain "I'm sick of following my dreams.
