In our home we tend to get the children to help out. One day our youngest son came in to the living room and asked, "Does anyone want a cup of coffee?" "Yes please!" we said. He replied, "What kind of coffee do you want? Capitated or decapitated?" -<>- >Fishing with Mom I took my mother on a fishing excursion yesterday. Nobody was having any luck. After drifting for hours without so much as a nibble, who should hook into one but my Mom. Everyone on the boat was excited, cheering the old woman on and telling her to take her time. Finally she lifted the fish into the boat, picked it up, removed the hook, looked at it up and down, and then tossed it back into the water. I was stunned. I said, "Mom, why did you throw that fish back into the water?" "I don't know. To me it just didn't look fresh." -<>- >Headlights On As I pulled into the parking lot at the department store, I noticed a car with its headlights on. I jotted down the make, color and license number. Inside the store I joined the line at the information desk. When the clerk reached me, I told her a white Ford in the parking lot had its lights on and gave her the number. "Thank you," she replied, and went on to another customer. The lady next to me asked her indignantly, "Aren't you going to announce it?" "There's no need," she replied sheepishly. "That car belongs to me." -<>- >Marinate? One evening a man was very impressed with the meat entree his wife had served. "What did you marinate this in?" he asked. His wife immediately went into a long explanation about how much she loved him and how life wouldn't be the same without him, etc. Eventually, his puzzled expression made her interrupt her answer with a question of her own, "What did you ask me?" She chuckled at his answer and explained, "I thought you asked me if I would marry you again!" As she left the room, he called out, "Well, would you marry me again?" Without hesitation, she said, "Vinegar and barbecue sauce." -<>- >Oven Mitt At day care, a four-year-old watched as a teacher pulled something hot from the oven. "What's that on your hand?" he asked.

One time when I was cleaning out the cupboards for her, I found $20 under the old shelf paper." Daughter: "Wow! What a cool idea! Why don't you ever do that with me?" Mother: "But my dear...I do." -<>- A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his dreams. Now what should he do? His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your place for a home-cooked meal?" He thought this was a great strategy and arranged a date for a week later. His mother called the day after the big date to see how things had gone. "The evening was a disaster," he moaned. "Why, didn't she come over?" asked his mother. "Oh, she came over, but she refused to cook..." -<>- A mother asked her small son what he would like for his birthday. "I'd like a little brother," the boy said. "Oh my, that's such a big wish," said the mother. "Why do you want a little brother?" "Well," said the boy, "there's only so much I can blame on the dog." -<>- Sally had three very active boys. One summer evening she was playing cops and robbers in the back yard after dinner. One of the boys "shot" his mother and yelled, "Bang! You're dead." She slumped to the ground and when she didn't get up right away, a neighbor ran over to see if she had been hurt in the fall. When the neighbor bent over, the overworked mother opened one eye and said, "Shhh. Don't give me away. It's the only chance I've had to rest all day." --- ...TeeHee! Good ones!

Most everybody was single. He promised his live-in girlfriend that he would be home by midnight. Well, the hours passed and the beer was going down smooth, and before he knew it, it was 2:30 a.m. Drunk as a skunk, he headed for home. Just as he got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, he realized that she'd probably wake up, so he was quite proud of himself when he thought to cuckoo nine more times. Even in his drunken haze, he fell asleep smiling about how he had escaped a possible conflict. The next morning, his girlfriend asked him what time he got in, and he replied, "Twelve." She did not seem disturbed at all, which made the guy feel even better. She then told him that they needed a new cuckoo clock. "Why is that?" he asked. "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, said "Oh, crap," cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then farted." ------------ The kindergarten class had settled down to its coloring books. Steve came up to the teacher's desk and said, "Miss Merc, I ain't got no crayons." "Steve," Miss Merc said, "you mean, "I don't have any crayons. You don't have any crayons. We don't have any crayons. They don't have any crayons. Do you see what I'm getting at?"

Very interested, her mother asks, "How did it go?" "I died of shame!" she answers. "Sam from over the road, says that the stork brings babies. Sally next door said you can buy babies at the orphanage. And Pete in my class says you can buy babies at the hospital." Her mother answers laughingly, "But that's no reason to be ashamed." "Yes it is! I can't tell them that we were so poor that you and daddy had to make me yourselves!" ------------ Scientists at NASA have developed a gun to launch dead chickens. It is used to shoot dead poultry at the windshields of airline jets, military jets, and the space shuttle, at each vehicle's maximum traveling velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl, and therefore determine if the windshields are strong enough to withstand the impact. British engineers, upon hearing of the gun, were eager to test the gun out on the windshield of their new high-speed trains. The gun was sent to England, and the test was arranged. When the chicken was fired, however, the Brit engineers watched in shock as the bird shattered the windshield, smashed through the control console, snapped the engineer's backrest in two, and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin. Seeking advice, the horrified engineers sent NASA the results of the experiment, along with blueprints of the windshield, and a detailed account of testing procedures. The NASA scientists sent back a one-sentence response: "Thaw the chicken." ------------ My father said, "Marry a girl who has the same belief as the family."

Thanks JoeL! -<>- >From BizarreNews: From the country that brought you kidnapping as a mainstream commercial industry and cocaine-smuggling nuns comes a bizarre and miraculous story of a man who accidentally shot his wife in the face with a spear gun. Accidentally being the important word here...because what man has ever wanted to shoot his wife in the face with a spear gun? The story is miraculous because the 28-year-old woman actually survived! The Rio de Janeiro State Health Department said in a statement that the woman's husband was cleaning his spear gun when it went off (who hasn't that happened to?), firing a harpoon that hit her cervical spine. Elisangela Borborema Rosa was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery. The police statement quotes neurosurgeon Allan da Costa as saying that the harpoon came within 1 centimeter of killing the woman. He said he expects a full recovery. A police officer said by telephone that officials are looking into the case. "Everything indicates it was an accident, but we are investi- gating. We don't think the husband tried to kill her," said the officer. "But once she fully recovers we will be able to question her and get a clearer picture of what happened." Let's hope nothing happens to her before then! ----- This is exactly how a zombie movie would start. A man has been sentenced to prison for attacking two women on a northeastern Pennsylvania sidewalk while bloody and naked, and gnawing on the head of one of them. A Scranton newspaper reports a judge sentenced 21-year-old Richard Cimino Jr. to between 90 days and nearly two years in prison for the attack. He had pleaded guilty to simple assault and other charges. Cimino told Wayne County Judge Raymond Hill he was sorry. He was under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug at the time. Investigators say Cimino had stripped naked and broke into an empty home in September, because that is what you do when a space virus reanimates your corpse, then was badly hurt jumping from a window. Authorities say he attacked the women walking down the street, gnawing on the head of one. Both escaped. *-- Cemetery rejects profane gravestone inscription --* LYNN, Mass. - Commissioners of a Massachusetts cemetery said they rejected a proposed grave stone inscription due to the inclusion of profanity. The Pine Grove Cemetery commission in Lynn voted 6-0 to bar Sonny Santiago's family from inscribing his grave stone with lines of verse he wrote that include profanity, The Daily Item, Lynn, reported Thursday. Santiago died in a motor vehicle crash Feb. 23 at the age of 23. "You gonna remember the damn name, I give a [expletive] if I die with no damn friends, I got my fam by my side and that's until the end," the proposed inscription reads. The family said they have submitted an alternate poem by Santiago for the grave stone and commissioners did not raise any objections to the profanity-free verse. *-- Spanish official criticizes luxury prison plans --* MADRID - The Spanish interior minister questioned plans for a luxurious prison with flat screen TVs in every cell and an indoor pool. Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz addressed the country's congress Wednesday and questioned the plans for the luxurious San Sebastian Penitentiary in the Basque region, The Local.es reported Thursday. "It's unreasonable," he said. "The project must implement services that help to re-educate and reinsert interns into society." The official said the project will soon be completed at a cost of $11 million. Joseba Agirretxea, a lawmaker from the Basque National Party, criticized plans to slash the planned prison's budget from $148 million to $91.7 million. *-- Woman, 94, heads for 67th annual bowling tournament --* ST.

Mini Tvaska of St. Petersburg, who holds the record for consecutive participation in the tournament, said she will participate in this year's May 21 event in Reno despite most of her vision being taken by macular degeneration, the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times reported Monday. Tvaska said she throws her first ball without assistance, but then needs to be told which pins are still standing so she can attempt to aim her second throw.] She said she was initially frustrated when losing her sight. "It was but now I'm grateful for what I can see. I do the best I can," she said. Matt Cannizzaro, media relations manager for the USBC Open and Women's Championships, said officials are proud to have Tvaska as an annual competitor. "Mini has displayed admirable dedication to the sport of bowling, and we're glad to have her as a representative," he said. "She lights up the event as soon as she walks in." *-- Police: Man tried to steal Zamboni --* OKLAHOMA CITY - Police in Oklahoma said they arrested a man accused of trying to steal a Zamboni from a convention center. Oklahoma City police said Spencer Holt, 24, attempted to take the Zamboni from the Cox Convention Center but was unable to get the mammoth ice-smoothing vehicle out of the building, KWTV, Oklahoma City, reported Monday.

Almost a century later, a perfected version of Bentz’s design is still used. “Coffee filters aren’t as likely to crumple or dissolve in water as typical paper because they have better ‘wet strength,’ thanks to longer fibers,” says Melinda McDonald, communications manager for Bunn, a beverage-equipment manufacturer. “Additionally, the fluted sides and cupcake shape allow substances to flow through the filter freely and prevent grains from flowing over the sides.” Use Coffee Filters to: 1. Diffuse the flash on a camera. When you’re taking a close-up, soften the brightness by placing a coffee filter over the flash. 2. Strain wine from a bottle with a broken cork. Place the filter over a pitcher or a carafe and slowly pour the wine into it. 3. Serve popcorn or other snacks. The filters act as disposable bowls, so there’s no dishwashing. 4. Make yogurt dip. Use a rubber band to secure a paper coffee filter over the mouth of a deep cup or jar. Slowly pour 8 ounces of plain yogurt onto the filter. Let drain for one hour. In a bowl, mix the thickened yogurt with 1 small minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crackers. 5. Heat up leftovers in the microwave. Use a filter as the protective covering over a bowl or a plate. 6. Prevent soil from draining out of flowerpots. When repotting, place a filter at the bottom, over the drainage hole, then add the soil. 7. Prevent scuffs and scratches on fine China. Use flattened coffee filters as spacers when you stack your dishes. 8. Protect hands from Popsicle drippage. Slide the wooden stick of an ice pop through a coffee filter so your hands stay mess-free. 9. Serve pita sandwiches. A circular filter is the perfect size for carrying a sandwich on the go. 10. Clean windows and glass when you’re out of paper towels. Coffee filters leave no lint or other residue. --- ...Cool Info!

So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night. 'I realize its terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained. 'I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house." 'Don't worry,' Jack said.'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn, and if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.'The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared,and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing. But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend. He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked,'Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?' 'Yes, I do.' said Bob 'Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?' 'Well, um, yes!,' Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.' 'And did you happen to give her my name in stead of telling her your name?' Bob's face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy, I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?' 'She just died and left me everything.'

And then, all at once, I had what is sometimes called an "epiphany"; a moment of heightened awareness in which every- thing becomes crystal clear. Yes, hunched over that ant on my hands and knees, I suddenly knew what I had to do... Quit drinking before noon. -<>- A blind man was describing his favorite sport, parachuting. When asked how this was accomplished, he said that things were all done for him: "I am placed in the door and told when to jump. My hand is placed on my release ring for me, and out I go." "But how do you know when you are going to land?" he was asked. "I have a very keen sense of smell and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground" he answered. "But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground?" he was again asked. The man quickly answered. "Oh, the dog's leash goes slack" -<>- I was shocked, confused, bewildered as I entered Heaven's door, Not by the beauty of it all, by the lights or its decor. But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp-- the thieves, the liars, the sinners, the alcoholics, the trash. There stood the kid from seventh grade who swiped my lunch money twice. Next to him was my old neighbor who never said anything nice. Herb, who I always thought was rotting away in hell, was sitting pretty on cloud nine, looking incredibly well. I nudged the angel, "What's the deal? I would love to hear your take. How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake. And why's everyone so quiet, so somber? Give me a clue." "Hush, child," said he. "They're all in shock. No one thought they'd see you." -<>- At the end of the college year, a star football player celebrated the relaxation of team curfew by attending a late night campus party. Soon after arriving, he became captivated by a beautiful young thing and eased into a conversation with her by asking if she met many dates at parties. "Oh, I have a 3.9, so I'm much more attracted to the strong academic types than to dumb party animals," she said. "What's your G.P.A.?" Grinning from ear to ear, the jock boasted, "I get about 27 in the city and 38 on the highway. -<>- My wife and I, both graduate students, recently celebrated the arrival of our first child. At my wife's insistence, we had paid our entire medical bill and were now worried about meeting other payments. We were discussing our sad financial situation one evening when our son demanded a diaper change. As my wife leaned over the baby's crib, I heard her mutter, "The only thing in the house that's paid for, and it leaks." -<>- A woman had gained a few pounds. It was most noticeable to her when she squeezed into a pair of her old blue jeans. Wondering if the added weight was noticeable to everyone else, she asked her husband, "Honey, do these jeans make me look like the side of the house?" "No, dear, not at all," he replied, "Our house isn't blue." -<>- When my sister's husband died, she went to the bank to put his affairs in order. The young clerk looked up their joint account and then asked, "Which of you is deceased?" -<>- It was our second anniversary, and my husband sent me flowers at the office. He told the florist to write "Happy Anniversary, Year Number 2" on the card. I was thrilled with the flowers, but not so pleased with the card. It read "Happy Anniversary. You're Number 2." -<>- A man learned shortly before quitting time that he had to attend a meeting. He tried unsuccessfully to locate his car-pool members to let them know that he would not be leaving with them. Hastily he scribbled a message to one fellow and left it on his desk: "I have a last-minute meeting. Leave without me. Dave." At 7:00 p.m., the man stopped at his desk and found this note: "Meet us at the bar and grill across the street. You drove, you idiot." -<>- The psychiatrist was not expecting the distraught stranger who staggered into his office and slumped into a chair. "You've got to help me. I'm losing my memory, Doctor," he sobbed. "I once had a successful business, a wife, home and family; I was a respected member of the community. But all that's gone now. Since my memory began failing, I've lost the business - I couldn't remember my clients' names. My wife and children have left me, too; and why shouldn't they? Some nights I wouldn't get home until four or five in the morning. I'd forget where I lived...And it's getting worse. Doctor - it's getting worse!" "This is not an unusual form of neurosis," the psychiatrist said soothingly. "Now tell me, just how long ago did you first become aware of this condition?" "Condition?" The man sat up in his chair. "What condition?" ========================================================= >-->From The Mouth: .-""-.--.

You run away upon seeing a mall directory that says, "You are here." 9. Thirty five locks on your sock drawer just aren't enough. 8. You hire a private eye to keep an eye out on your house, but then fire him because he's part of the conspiracy. 7. Before you take the garbage cans back from the street, you check them for really short Mafia hit men. 6. You are learning six foreign languages because you just know those people you don't understand are talking about YOU. 5. You even wonder if the guard dog you hired is secretly plotting against you. 4. You have a funny feeling the voices in your head are plotting behind your back. 3. It takes you three hours each evening to program the household alarms and video surveillance system before you can go to bed. 2. You're checking off each number on this list as you read. 1. The Witness Relocation Program has told you to stop showing up unless you have an actual reason to. -<>- _________________ / _ /| / / / ####### // / /_/ ####### // KDDR / ______________ // ===============' >------------ How To Lie To The Bathroom Scale ------------ 1. Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner... as well as in the morning, without clothes, before breakfast, because it's nice to see how much weight you've lost overnight. 2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair. 3. When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In this case, blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget the earrings, these things can weigh at least a pound. 4. Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because they are always five pounds off...to your advantage. 5. Always go to the bathroom first. 6. Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter. 7. Don't eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you've weighed in, completely naked, of course. 8. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at least half a pound of hair (hopefully). 9. Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale (air has to weigh something, right?). 10. Start out with just one foot on the scale, then hold- ing onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other foot on and slowly let off of the rack. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally. -<>- /"""""/""""""". / / \ __ / / \ || /____ / \ || | | In Loving | || | | Memory | || | | | || | | 3/4/25-2/9/98 | || | | * * * * | _||_ | | *\/* *\/* | | TT | | | *_\_ / ...""""""| || |.""....""""""""."" | | \/.."""""..."""\ || /.""".......""""... | |...."""""""........""""""^^^^"......."""""""".." |......"""""""""""""""........"""""...."""""..""-Ray W. >10 Things You Never Want to Hear at a Funeral Eulogy 1. She died as she lived: oddly dressed and smelling vaguely of turpentine. 2. Death is not an end, but a beginning. Specifically, the beginning of an eternity of black nothingness. 3. He touched all of our lives. Unfortunately, he also touched several of our children. 4. There's no getting around it: Bob was a big, fat, sweaty pig of a man, which means that now, there's more pie for the rest of us. Dig in! 5. His spirit will be with us always. And by spirit, I mean overwhelming credit card debt. 6. I still can't get over that he's gone. I also can't get over that I totally survived that same car accident! Can you believe it? I should have had my head cracked off like what's-his-name here. 7. Steve wasn't unhappy about life. He was just super excited to die! 8. It's always sad when God calls a fellow home. But in the case of Larry here, I'm not so sad. Nice guy, drunk too much, whatever. So to Larry - nice knowing you, see you later. 9. I'll never forget the last time I saw him. He was all, "Betcha $50 I can wrestle a 'gator." And I was all, "You're on!" 10. I never had Tabatha. But I wanted to and goodness knows I tried. Even now, in death, I'd have to say I still wouldn't kick her out of my bed. -<>- ___ )_( _ | | [_ ] .-'-'-. _ .-'. '-. /-::_..-\ _[_]_ /:;/ _.-'\ )_ _( /_ _\ [-] |:._ .-| |;:: | )_``'_( .-'-'-.

Fans say that was just what 'Candle In The Wind' needed." --Conan O'Brien "David Beckham was I think one of the first described as 'metrosexual.' The first time I heard word metrosexual, I thought it meant guys who have sex in subway. I spent years riding the subway, hoping." --Craig Ferguson "U.S. officials have now approved the first anti-obesity drug for dogs. I'm no veterinarian, but if your dog is over eating, try putting a little less food in the bowl. Do we really need to give him a pill? Is the dog taking your car keys and driving to McDonalds?" --Jay Leno "How about this? In 1861, the first elevator was introduced here in New York City. First elevator ever in New York City, or, as we call them now, restrooms. And it took them ten more years to develop the 'ding.'" --Dave Letterman "Last week gas prices dropped 10 percent while the price of a gallon of gas rose 2 percent. How does that work? See, it's all supply and demand — the oil companies have the supply and they demand all our money." --Jay Leno >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->BECOMING A CHRISTIAN HOW TO BE A CHRISTIAN! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->FULL LENGTH - FREE On line AUDIO MP3 Chriistian Foundational Class http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=61 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->This is for all you who love food and DARRE to make it at home Yep.
