Jon-Marc,

I understand your priority is to get a membership to Turtle Lake and that is a worthy goal.

It is still hard to sell houses until America has been in economic recovery for a longer period of time. There's still too many folks out of work. When lots of folks are looking for houses, the siding won't be such a critical issue.

Back to your computer, let me offer one other suggestion: try a product like Lavasoft's Adaware. It could also be that so many advertiser programs are running on your computer that your browser is choking when it hits a Web page. I believe that Adaware is about 10 bucks, but it is free to try it. There are other good products on the market that do the same thing.

When you are ready for a new computer, you can buy one at a second-hand store for a few hundred dollars less than at the fancy retail stores.

You might even be able to sell them your old computer to help pay for your new one.

I don't know how good the Dell computers are, but we used them at work. I've seen them advertised on TV for as low as $500 for new ones. You probably don't get a lot of power or memory for that price, but I will never be able to afford or even need a top-of-the-line computer. There are so many things I click on that I can't see because of the error message. I've done everything I can think of and everything that has been suggested, and nothing has worked. The last time I checked the performance of the computer was at 83%. I've deleted everything I can think of deleting that I don't need. I see hundreds of abbreviations that mean nothing to me, and I'm afraid of deleting something I would need. I would really be frustraed and HAVE to do something if I couldn't get into this forum.

Passing an office building late one night, a blonde saw a sign that said, "Press bell for night watchman."

She did so, and after several minutes she heard the watchman clomping down the stairs.

The uniformed man proceeded to unlock first one gate, then another, shut down the alarm system, and finally make his way through the revolving door.

"Well," he snarled at the blonde, "what do you want?"

"I just want to know why you can't ring the bell for yourself?"

An 87-year-old man went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw the old man walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm.

A couple of days later, when the old man had an appointment with the doctor again, the doctor said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"

The man replied, "Just doing what you said, doctor, "Get a hot mama and be cheerful."

The doctor replied, "I didn't say that!...
I said you have a heart murmur. Be careful!"

I just typed "naturist jokes" into my search engine. What little I found I wasn't able to get into because of the error message that kept coming up that I mentioned before.

What I wanted to mention is that most of the Web sites that came up for "naturist jokes" were pornographic. They had nothing to do with naturism or naturist jokes. Someone once said that typing in "naturist" or "naturism" would prevent you from getting a lot of porn sites. Well, that isn't true any more. We now can't look for anything related to naturism that doesn't give us mostly porn sites.

A lady from California purchased a piece of timber land in
Oregon. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in
the tract. She wanted to get a good view of her land so she
started to climb the big tree. As the lady neared the top, she
encountered a spotted owl that attacked her.

In her haste to escape, the lady slid down the tree to the ground
and got many splinters in her private parts. In considerable
pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor.

He listened to her story then told her to go into the examining
room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and waited
for three hours before the doctor reappeared.

The angry lady demanded, "What took you so long?"

He replied, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land
Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a
recreational area."

13 Things Films Have Taught Us:

1. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices, which have large red read-outs to tell you exactly when it will go off.

2. Should you need to pass yourself off as a German officer it will not be necessary to speak the language; a convincing accent will do.

3. All apartments in Paris overlook the Eiffel tower.

4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override a bank security system or the communication system of an invading alien civilization.

5. Every single person in martial arts films has a black belt in karate.

6. When staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

7. One man with a handgun shooting at twenty men with automatic weapons has a better chance of hitting them then they do of hitting him.

8. During a police investigation it will be necessary to visit a strip joint at least once.

9. Large studio-type apartments in big cities are affordable by single people with a low income.

10. The entire British population live in London.

11. It doesn't matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a martial arts fight; your enemies will attack you one at a time while the others dance around you menacingly.

12. In musicals everyone you meet in the street will know all the words to the songs and the steps to the dances.

13. When captured by an evil internatioal terrorist, guns are not necessary to defeat them; sarcasm and wisecracks are your best weapons.

Q. Am I more likely to get pregnant if my husband wears boxers rather than briefs?
A. Yes, but you'll have an even better chance if he doesn't wear anything at all.

Q. What is the most common pregnancy craving?
A. For men to be the ones who get pregnant.

Q. I'm two months pregnant now. When will my baby move?
A. With any luck, right after college.

Q. Ever since I've been pregnant, I haven't been able to go to bed without onion rings. Is this a normal craving?
A. Depends on what you're doing with them.

Q. The bigger I get when I'm pregnant, the more often strangers smile at me. Why?
A. Because you're fatter than they are.

Q. Is there a safe alternative to breast pumps?
A. Yes, baby lips.

Q. Can a mother get pregnant while nursing?
A. Yes, but it's much easier if she removes the baby from her breast and puts him to sleep.

A blonde was visiting Washington, DC for the first time. She wanted to see the Capitol Building. Unfortunately, she couldn't find it, so she asked a police officer for directions, "Excuse me, officer, how do I get to the Capitol Building?"

The officer replied, "Wait here at this bus stop for the number 54 bus. It'll take you right there." She thanked the officer and he drove off.

Three hours later the police officer returned to the same area and, sure enough, the blonde is still waiting at the same bus stop.

The officer got out of his car and said, "Excuse me, but to get to the Capitol Building, I said to wait here for the number 54 bus, and that was three hours ago! Why are you still waiting?"

The blonde replied, "Don't worry, officer, it won't long now...the 45th bus just went by!"

A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner. A call came in telling them to disperse some people who were loitering.

The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd standing on a corner.

The rookie rolled down his window and said, "Let's get off the corner people." A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again.."I SAID, let's get off that corner...NOW!"

Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction.

Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?"

"Pretty good," chuckled the vet,"especially since this is a bus stop!"

A blonde came home from her first day commuting into the city. Her mother noticed that she was looking a little peaked and asked, "Honey, are you feeling all right?"

"Not really," the blonde replied. "I'm nauseous from sitting backward on the train."

"I couldn't," she replied, "there was no one there."

I enjoyed both of those very much. I especially enjoyed knocking down the bears and watching them bounce back up. Hey! I guess I'm just a kid at heart! I like playing the email games I send to my grandkids.

A Texas farmer goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets to talking.

The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, "Oh. We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large."

Then they walked around the ranch a little, and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows."

The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks, "And what are those?"

The Aussie, fed up with the Texan's bragging, replies with an incredulous look, "What, don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?"

Hw,

I think you come up the best jokes of any of us.

An armless man walked into a bar which is empty except for the bartender.

He ordered a drink and when he was served, asked the bartender if he would get the money from the wallet in his pocket, since he had no arms.

The bartender obliged him. He then asked if the bartender would tip the glass to his lips.

The bartender did this until the man finished his drink. He then asked if the bartender would get a hanky from his pocket and wipe the foam from his lips.

The bartender did it and commented that it must be very difficult not to have his arms and have to ask someone to do everything for him.

The man said, "Yes, it is a bit embarrassing at times. By the way, where is your restroom?"

The bartender quickly replied--"The closest one is in the gas station three blocks down the street."

Jon-Marc are you a fisherman? Well here's a fish story for you... Hmmmm maybe I should have dedicated it to my other buddy...GambleFish. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The Fisherman's Family


One day many years ago, a fisherman's wife blessed her husband with twin sons. They loved the children very much, but couldn't think of what to name their children. Finally, after several days, the fisherman said, "Let's not decide on names right now. If we wait a little while, the names will simply occur to us."

After several weeks had passed, the fisherman and his wife noticed a peculiar fact. When left alone, one of the boys would also turn towards the sea, while the other boy would face inland. It didn't matter which way the parents positioned the children, the same child always faced the same direction. "Let's call the boys Towards and Away," suggested the fisherman. His wife agreed, and from that point on, the boys were simply known as TOWARDS and AWAY.

The years passed and the lads grew tall and strong. The day came when the aging fisherman said to his sons, "Boys, it is time that you learned how to make a living from the sea." They set in provisions on their ship, said their goodbyes and set sail for a three-month voyage.

The three months passed quickly for the fisherman's wife, yet the ship had not returned. Another three months passed, and still no ship.

A whole year passed before the grieving woman saw a lone man walking towards her house. She recognized him as her husband. "My goodness! What has happened to my darling boys?" she cried.

The ragged fisherman began to tell his story:

"We were just barely one whole day out to sea, when Towards hooked into a great fish. Towards fought long and hard, but the fish was more than his equal. For a whole week, they wrestled upon the waves without either of them letting up. Yet eventually the great fish started to win the battle, and Towards was pulled over the side of our ship. He was swallowed whole, and we never saw either of them again."

"Oh dear, that must have been terrible! What a huge fish that must of been! What a horrible fish. What a horrible fish."

"Yes, it was, but you should have seen the one that got Away...." /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

A young reporter went to a retirement home to interview an aged but legendary explorer. The reporter asked the old man to tell him the most frightening experience he had ever had.
The old explorer said, "Once I was hunting Bengal tigers in the jungles of India. I was on a narrow path and my faithful native gunbearer was behind me. Suddenly the largest tiger I have ever seen leaped onto the path in front of us. I turned to get my weapon only to find the native had fled. The tiger leapt toward me with a mighty ROARRRR! I soiled myself."

The reporter said, "Under those circumstances anyone would have done the same."

The old explorer said, "No, not then - just now when I went ''ROARRRR!''"

Good lord, HW!! Get a grip on yourself!!!! The high temp in these parts is in single digits with a wind chill in the double digits below ....and I still retrieve the morning paper off the front porch...nude!! (under the cover of 0430 darkness)


That reminds me of a couple of female Navy recruits from Texas a few years back. They were both saying how they couldn't wait to go to their "A"School in Pensacola. "It's so cold here" To which I replied " What cold? It's a nice balmy 22degrees(F)out there! (now with a phoney Scottish accent) Now, lassies. Wait for it, when the high temp is below zero, and the wind starts a'whippen off the lake.., and the cold just sinks into ye bones....Aye lass now thats cold." The department Chief Petty Officer, from northern Minnesota, thus also knows a bit about poked his head out of his door, and said "Fred, I heard that....and I was shivvering. Goodjob."

Warning on a bottle of drain cleaner: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product."

That warning is the first place winner of the 2004 Wacky Warning Label Contest. The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, a group whose goal is to show that the fear of frivolous lawsuits has led to a loss of corporate common sense, sponsors the annual contest for the wackiest warning labels.

"Wacky warning labels are a sign of our lawsuit-plagued times," Robert B. Dorigo Jones, president of the nonprofit Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch group, said in the news release announcing the contest winners. "It used to be that if someone spilled coffee in their lap, they simply called themselves clumsy. Today, too many people are calling themselves an attorney."

Second place: On a snow sled: "Beware: sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions."
Third place: On a 12-inch-high storage rack for compact discs: "Do not use as a ladder."
Fourth place: A 5-inch fishing lure with three nasty steel hooks advises it is "Harmful if swallowed." Too bad fish can't read!

Previous winners in the "Wacky Warning Label Contest" are presented here for your amusement and amazement:

A warning on an electric router made for carpenters cautions, "This product not intended for use as a dental drill."
A warning label found on a baby stroller cautions the user: "Remove child before folding."
A bottle of prescription sleeping pills says, "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
A sticker on a toilet at a public facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan actually warns: "Recycled flush water unsafe for drinking."
A CD player carries this unusual warning: "Do not use the Ultradisc2000 as a projectile in a catapult."
An "Aim-n-Flame" fireplace lighter cautions, "Do not use near fire, flame, or sparks."
A label on a hand-held massager advises consumers not to use "while sleeping or unconscious."
A container of underarm deodorant says, "Caution: Do not spray in eyes."
A cartridge for a laser printer warns, "Do not eat toner."
A household iron warns users: "Never iron clothes while they are being worn."
A label with a hair dryer reads, "Never use hair dryer while sleeping."
A 13-inch wheel on a wheelbarrow warns: "Not intended for highway use."
A cardboard car sunshield that keeps sun off the dashboard warns, "Do not drive with sunshield in place."
A bathroom heater says: "This product is not to be used in bathrooms."
A can of self-defense pepper spray warns users: "May irritate eyes."
A warning on a pair of shin guards manufactured for bicyclists says: "Shin pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover."
A popular manufactured fireplace log warns: "Caution: Risk of Fire."
A box of birthday cake candles says: "DO NOT use soft wax as ear plugs or for any other function that involves insertion into a body cavity."
"Do not use snow blower on the roof."
"Do not allow children to play in the dishwasher." /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Gorgeous day in SF Bay Area Today..Clear sunny blue sky and a high near 60...
A college professor was doing a study testing the senses of first graders ,using a bowl of lifesavers.He gave all the children the same kind of lifesavers ,one at a time ,and asked them to identify them by color and flavor. The children began to say: "Red.... cherry,"
"Yellow....lemon."
"Green......lime,"
"Orange.....orange,"
Finally the professor gave them all honey lifesavers.After eating them for a few moments ...none of the children could identify the taste.

"Well,"he said," I'll give you a clue.Its what your mother may sometimes call your father." One little girl looked up in horror, spit out her lifesaver and yelled, " Oh My Gosh!! They're a**holes!" /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

More Bumper Stickers: The first one is dedicated to you hw:

You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me.

I have the body of a god---Buddha

This would be really funny if it wasn't happening to me.

Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

The face is familiar, but I can't quite remember my name.

Illerate? Write for help.

Honk if anything falls off.

He who hesitates is not only lost but miles from the next exit.

This isn't my idea of a good time.

It's been lovely, but I have to scream now.

Uniquely maladjusted, but fun.

This bumper sticker exploits illiterates.

I haven't lost my mind. It's backed up on disk somewhere.

Gone crazy, be back soon.

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

a young man wanted to purchase a gift for his sweethearts birthday,and as they had not been dating very long, he decided on a pair of gloves.
romantic,but not too personal.accompanied by his sister he went to the store and bought a pair of white gloves,while his sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. during wraping,the clerk mixed up the items,without checking the young man enclosed the following note to his sweetheart:
"my dearest sweetheart:this is to show you i am keeping tab of your birthday,i chose these because i noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out. if it hadn't been for my sister i would have chosen the long ones with buttons,but she wears the short ones that are easier to remove.these are a light shade,but the lady i bought them from showed me a pair she had worn for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled. i had her try yours on for me and she looked really good. i did not know your size but i should know more then anyone else. after you put them on a few times they will slip on more easily. i wish i was there to put them on you the first time,as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before i have a chance to see you again. when you take them off,remember to blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. if you don't they will shrink. just think how many times i will kiss the back of them during the coming year.i hope you wear them for me friday night.all my love.
p.s. the clerk said it is the latest style to wear them open and hanging down.

condensed because it is long; check and checkmate. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

LETTER TO ANN LANDERS

Dear Ann:

I am facing a very serious problem. You see, I am a Vietnam-era deserter from the U.S. Marines, and I have a cousin who works for Microsoft. My mother peddles Nazi literature to Girl Scouts, and my father (a former dentist) is in jail for raping most of his female patients while they were under anesthesia.

The sole supporters of our large family, including myself and my $500-a-week heroin habit, are my uncle (master pick-pocket, Benny "The Fingers"), my 70-year-old aunt Hester (a shoplifter), and my two kid sisters, who are well-known street walkers.

My problem is this: I have just gotten engaged to the most beautiful, sweetest girl in the world. She is just sweet 16, and we are going to marry as soon as she can excape from reform school.

To support ourselves, we are going to move to Mexico and start a fake Astec souvenir factory staffed by child labor. We look forward to bringing our kids into the family business.

But I'm worried that my family won't make a good impression on her. In your opinion, should I, or shouldn't I, tell her about my cousin who works for Microsoft?

Antiterrorism Tactics


MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THIS SATURDAY


AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, IT IS A SIN FOR A TALIBAN MALE TO SEE ANY WOMAN OTHER THAN HIS WIFE NAKED, AND THAT HE MUST COMMIT SUICIDE IF HE DOES.

SO THIS SATURDAY AT 4 P.M. EASTERN TIME ALL AMERICAN WOMEN ARE ASKED TO WALK OUT OF THEIR HOUSE COMPLETELY NAKED TO HELP WEED OUT ANY
NEIGHBORHOOD TERRORISTS.


CIRCLING YOUR BLOCK FOR ONE HOUR IS RECOMMENDED FOR THIS ANTI-TERRORIST EFFORT.


ALL MEN ARE TO POSITION THEMSELVES IN LAWN CHAIRS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE TO PROVE THEY ARE NOT TALIBAN, AND TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY THINK
ITS OKAY TO SEE NUDE WOMEN OTHER THAN THEIR WIFE, AND TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR ALL AMERICAN WOMEN.

AND SINCE THE TALIBAN ALSO DOES NOT APPROVE OF ALCOHOL A COLD 6-PACK AT YOUR SIDE IS FURTHER PROOF OF YOUR ANTI-TALIBAN SENTIMENT.


THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT APPRECIATES YOUR EFFORTS TO ROOT OUT TERRORISTS AND APPLAUDS YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS ANTI-TERRORIST ACTIVITY.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
IT IS YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO PASS THIS ON. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

A Letter From A Redneck Mother To Her Son


Dear Son,

I'm writing this slow 'cause I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved. Won't be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since.

It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time.

The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn't make the final payment on Grandma's funderal bill, up she comes.

About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether if it is a boy or a girl so don't know if you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safery. The other 2 drowned. They couldn't get the tail gate down.

Not much more news this time. Nothing much happened. If you don't get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.

Love, Ma

A blonde walks into the police department looking for a job. The officer wants to ask her a few questions....
Officer: What's 2+2?

Blonde: Ummmmm... 4!

Officer: What's the square root of 100?

Blonde: Ummmm... 10!

Officer: Good! Now, who killed Abraham Lincoln?

Blonde: Ummmm... I dunno.

Officer: Well, you can go home and think about it. Come back tomorrow.

The blonde goes home and calls up one of her friends, who asks her if she got the job. The blonde says, excitedly, "Not only did I get the job, I'm already working on a murder case!"

Once upon a time, Three Little Pigs walk into a bar. The first pig orders 10 beers, downs them, and then asks for the bathroom. The second pig orders 15 beers, downs them, and asks for the bathroom. The third pig orders 20 beers, downs them, and then sits there eating peanuts.
"Aren't you going to ask for the bathroom?" asks the bartender.

"Nope. I'm the pig who goes wee-wee-wee all the way home."

A travelling salesman's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. He gets out and tries to find something close by -- and comes upon a farm. Not believing his luck, he knocks on the door, and a farmer answers.
"Sir," says the salesman. "Could you help me? My car's broken down, and I need a place to stay for the night."

"Sure," says the farmer. "But I only have one bed, and my very, very ugly daughter sleeps there."

"Oh, crap," says the salesman. "I'm in the wrong joke."

My question is: if the farmer only had one bed, where did he sleep--with his daughter?

Bad: You can't find your birth control pills.
Ugly: Your daughter borrowed them.

Good: Your son studies a lot in his room.
Bad: You find several porn movies hidden there.
Ugly: You're in them.

Good: Your husband understands fashion.
Bad. He's a cross-dresser.
Ugly: He looks better than you.

Good: Your son's finally maturing.
Bad: He's involved with the woman next door.
Ugly: So are you!

Good: Your daughter got a new job.
Bad: As a hooker.
Ugly: Your coworkers are her best clients.
Way Ugly: She makes more money than you do.

Good: your wife is pregnant.
Bad: It's triplets.
Ugly: You had a vasectomy years ago.

This memo is from an unnamed computer company. It went to all
field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author
of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the
floor.

"Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit).
Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform
erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the
delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls
should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining
the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and
harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ
depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can
be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced
by using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static
sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden
discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used
immediately. It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of
spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any
customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of
removing these necessary items."

As always, hw, that was hilarious.

Great Truths About Life:

1. Raising teenagers is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.

2. There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take the time to look for it. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

3. Reason to smile: Every seven minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.

4. The best way to keep kids at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere...and let the air out of their tires.

5. Families are like fudge...mostly sweet with a few nuts.

6. Middle age is when you choose the cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

7. The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.

8. If you can remain calm, you don't have all the facts.

9. Eat a live toad first thing in the morning, and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day.

10. You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

It is time to take a serious look at our involvement there.

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on the TV are photos of death and destruction.

Why are we still there?

The land is too large to secure all of it. The bad people causing this damage can roam anywhere, and we can't possibly police the whole place.

Why are we still there?

We occupy this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble.

Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and in the process of changing.

Why are we still there?

Refugees are fleeing by the thousands, driven from their homes.

Why are we still there?

It will cost billions to rebuild, which we can't afford.

Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders.

Why are we still there?

And to repeat. Every day we hear of more and more Americans killed in this dangerous land.

It is clear! . . . . . . .

The third one responded, "Well, I'm glad I don't have that problem, knock on wood," as she rapped her knuckles on the table, then told them, "That must be the door, I'll get it!"

Faucet in America, tap in England and Australia.
The plumbers' term is **** , bibcock for an ordinary tap, hosecock for a tap with a threaded end, to take a garden hose fitting.
In these "politically correct" times, "**** " is not generally used in Western Australia, at least not in hardware stores catering mainly to the general public.
Male and female pipe fittings, [think about it, if you are not familiar with these terms], still seem to be designated that way, but for how much longer, if the super-sensitive ones have their way.

Rex
02-09-2004, 06:54 PM
I'm amazed.
The unmentionable word, [unless teamed with bib, or hose], is in my Funk and Wagnalls US dictionary as meaning "faucet", and in my Collins English dictionary, as meaning "tap".
Also included in my Oxford electronic spellchecker and thesaurus, and in my Roget's International Thesaurus, as a synonym for "faucet" and "tap".
In Bali, they still have fighting *****. Perhaps some people think this is an interesting variation thought up by the Puppetry of the Penis people.

Trailscout
02-09-2004, 07:30 PM
You don't have to look as far as Bali to find fighting gamecocks. I have met a few fellows in Georgia who raise them "for show".

I have heard of a tap, but only as a means of accessing a barrel of beer.

We generally refer to "faucets" as the fixtures of indoor sinks and "spigots" on the end of water pipes outdoors.

A few contrary folks drink Pepsi, but coke was invented a few miles down the road and it is our primary source of refreshment, well maybe next to iced tea. In rural towns, you used to be able to find lesser known brands of soft drink, such as Buffalo Rock, Nehi, RC Cola, Chocolate Soldier, and Orange Crush.

A bit of Coca Cola trivia: Mexico is the only place I know that still offers the same formula of Coca Cola that we drank in the 1960's, with the tangier sucrose rather than the insipid fructose. I always buy Mexican coke when I can get it. Ay Caramba!

I never heard the word "soda" until I was a grown man and met someone from the midwest who used it. I finally figured out that she was talking about
what we call a "cold drink".

Mint juleps are the drink of low country plantation masters who have the luxury of sitting on their shaded porch and surveying their vast holdings from the comfort of a rocking chair.

Most of us in the uplands are yeoman farmers, who refrain from alcohol while we are out toiling in the fields. In the summer heat, it wouldn't take much strong liquor to make you dizzy. And we certainly aren't giving alcohol to our kids or our field hands!

My Tennessee ancestors made fine whiskey from the spring water of our homestead and the corn that grew on our bottomlands. But a wise man keeps the cork firmly planted on the whiskey jug most of the time.

Iced tea is fairly new to the South, not much older than carbonated bottled drinks, but it has become enormously popular during our long hot summers.

tarsus

trailscout: mint juleps are almost a requirement at the kentucky derby also. don't really taste that good,but you have to drink them to look cool.
i remenber some of those drinks mentioned in earlier post also. some are still around here,but very limted in area. we also have "double cola". while it used to be in a fairly wide area, it is now only advailable,in a a few counties here in kentucky.[they are the ones that make ski,tastes something like mountain dew,but not just like it]. i think life was more fun when you could only get some things in some areas,not like now where everything is sold based on what appeals to the masses. flash back to early days, voices calling me must respond. now they are telling me to remove clothing and experience the freedom of being. oh wait a minute,i forgot ----------

It was "pop" in England, when I was a kid, don't know about now.
"Cool drink" in Australia.

I've got the LP, Guy Mitchell 20 Golden Greats, and it's on there as "Sippin' Soda".
On the net, I found the Columbia CD, The Best of Guy Mitchell, and a currently available version by The Shells, [whoever they are], and on both it's listed as "soda".
When my eldest daughter was a young teenager, she was the "pretty girl" of the song, in her school concert, and they sang, "Sippin Cider", and I wondered why.
Although we didn't generally use the term "soda" in England for "pop", I think we knew what it meant, but maybe they didn't know in Australia.

Hi hw and everyone,
I joined this thread at the end, so I thought I'd better go to the beginning and see what it's all about, and I did that, and I'm no wiser.
I did see some nice posts from outdoorbare, and, like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing some more!
hw asked me what they say in Australia. I've got to be careful what I say here, because I came here from England 42 years ago in July. I'm what is known as a "ten pound Pom".
It's not easy to get permanent residency in Australia now, if you happen to come from one of those strange foreign countries like England, but 40 odd years ago, they sent their most persuasive talkers to England to convince us it was the land of milk and honey.
I looked on the weather map, decided I liked the look of Perth, and that I wanted to live near the beach, in a good climate. [I think it was 102F today, that's good!]
Now for the "ten pound Pom" bit.
The price of a 4 week ocean cruise was ten pounds sterling per adult, and nothing for kids. That's about US$5. [Maybe I've got that wrong, but it's getting late, and I'm having a glass or two of Australian Red Lambrusco, and it doesn't really matter, it's peanuts.]
"Pom" is the Australian word for English person. Now and again, someone writes to the paper and says it is a racist term. It has never bothered me, that's what I, and many others, would call ourselves.
I grew up in Yorkshire, where the dialect is very strong. The Yorkshire dialect is based on "Middle English", which was spoken in England in Mediaeval times, and is as different to modern English as Latin is to Italian. It also has a lot of Norse words, from the Vikings, who raided, and later settled, parts of NE and E England.
In order to make myself understood, I knew I had to speak plain English to foreigners like people from London, or Australia.
Despite my strong accent, I tend to be a stickler for correct pronunciation, and, in that respect, Australians could easily drive me wild, if I let it bother me.
Like this thread, I've completely lost my train of thought, so ask me anything else, if you feel it's worth the effort.

Silly people from Kah-lee-fornia think that the cold stops at the outside walls in winter. Ha!

Unless you have a new house built like a thermos bottle you'll find cold spots throughout the house, even with a furnace that is raging strong enough that you get Valentine's cards from OPEC.

It's not as bad as it sounds though, just because there is a little bit of frost here and there doesn't mean it is uncomfortable.

My pool temperature is 90F.
Tomorrow, the day of the Swanbourne Nude Olympics, forecast 95F. Monday and Tuesday 100F.
I was born in London, but grew up in a big country village, west of the city of Leeds, going into the Pennines.
Yes, Trailscout, the Yorkshire dialect has many words and phrases that aren't in the English language. Even people coming from different parts of Yorkshire don't always understand every word. So, except to one another, we use plain English.
The most snow I remember was 1947, when we had 60 inches.
Another time, we had a 4 day blizzard, and the nearby highway just disappeared. We were living in a caravan, [in the US, a trailer].
The water system and bottled gas froze, the curtains were iced to the windows, and the soap was iced to the basin. The eggs in the kitchen froze solid and cracked. I'm told Britain doesn't have winters like that anymore.

tarsus to help you get your mind off the cold stuff, I am sending you some warm, fuzzy ducklinks.

Must be duck season....Click on the link below for more duck fun.



Warning: Don't Step on the Ducks!


Three women die together in an accident
and go to heaven.


When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!"


So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.


Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.


St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"


The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.


The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.


She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.


St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.


The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"


The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"


Shaybare, are you a duck hunter? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The female patient was worried. "Doctor, three weeks ago I started peeing quarters! Then two weeks ago it stopped, but I started peeing dimes. Last week it was nickels, and yesterday I started peeing pennies. Can you tell me what's wrong with me?"

The doctor patted her hand. "Relax," he assured her, "you're just going through the change." /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

An old couple had been married for about 52 years when one day the old woman died. The entire family showed up to the funeral.

Every day the old man would show up at the grave with his dog and spend a few minutes out there. About two months later a priest saw the old man out there with his dog and decided to go talk with the old man.

"Hello there. You know, we see you come out here every day to visit your wife's grave, and we just think that's so sweet. We were all wondering if the dog is something that was special to your wife since you always bring it out here with you."

"No, actually I bring the dog out here to pee on the grave. I'd do it myself, but I'd get arrested for indecent exposure!"

-------------------

An elderly woman went to the doctor's office. When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, "I'd like to have some birth control pills."

Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you're 75-years-old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?"

The woman responded, "They will help me sleep better."

The doctor thought some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?"

The woman said, "I want to put them in my granddaughter's orange juice, and then I will sleep beter at night!"

ARE YOU KATLICK??....


Three little boys were concerned because they couldn't get anyone to play with them. They decided it was because they had not been baptized
and didn't go to Sunday School.

So, they went to the nearest church. Only the janitor was there. One said, "We need to be baptized because no one will come out and play
with us. Will you baptize us?" "Sure," said the janitor. He took them into the bathroom and dunked their heads in the toilet bowl, one at a
time. Then he said, "Now go out and play."

When they got outside, dripping wet, one of them asked, "What religion do you think we are?"

The oldest one said, "We're not Katlick, because they pour the water on you. We're not Babtis because they dunk all of you in it.
We're not Methdiss because they just sprinkle you."

The littlest one said, "Didn't you smell that water?" "Yeah! What do you think that means?" "I think it means that we're P*sscopalians."

Two Arabs sat in the Gaza strip, chatting over a glass of goat's milk.
One pulled out his wallet, flipped through pictures, and they reminisced.

"This is my oldest son. He's a martyr. Here's my second son.
He's a martyr, too!"

After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Arab wistfully said,
"They blow up so fast, don't they?" /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Never Seen A Priest

An old man from a far off land was once on the subway in New York and he sat down next to a younger man. He noticed that the young man had a strange kind of shirt collar.
Having never seen a priest before, he asked the man, "Excuse me sir, but why do you have your shirt collar on backwards?"

The priest became a bit flustered but politely answered, "I wear this collar because I am a Father".

The old man thought a second and responded, "Sir I am also a Father but I wear my collar front-ways. Why do you wear your collar so differently?"

The priest thought for a minute and said, "Sir, I am the father for many."

The old man quickly answered, "I too am the father of many. I have four sons, four daughters and too many grandchildren to count. But I wear my collar like everyone else does.

"Why do you wear it your way?"

The priest who was beginning to get exasperated thought and then blurted out, "Sir, I am the father for hundreds and hundreds of people."

The old man from the far-away country was taken aback and was silent for a long time.

As he got up to leave the subway train, he leaned over to the priest and said, "Mister, maybe you should wear your pants backwards."

I always say what I mean even if it doesn't make any sense [especially if it does't make any sense]. So quit trying to read between the lines or li's for that matter.

Cootie: n. sl. a body louse. [perth. f. Malay
kutu a biting parasite.

Coodie: n. sl. a type of lousey, ikky, dinky type something or other that boys can only get from girls.

Ok, so that last one isn't really in the dictionary (yet). But it sounds right. I said, "I do have a dictionary.". I did not say that I used the dictionary. And quit calling me Nanny Nanny you Boo Boo. Why are you attacking such a cute, little person like me?

A man goes into a restaurant with his wife. The waiter approaches the table and asks for their order. "I'll have your biggest, juiciest steak," he says.

"But sir, what about the mad cow?" asks the waiter.

"Oh," answers the man, "she'll order for herself."

Bill Clinton, George Bush, a spectacular looking blonde, and an elderly spinster looking woman were on a train. After several minutes of the trip, the train passes through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard.

When they leave the tunnel, Clinton has a big red slap mark on his cheek.

The blonde thought, "That rascal Clinton wanted to touch me and by mistake must have put his hand on the spinster lady, who must have slapped his face."

The fat lady thought, "That dirty old Bill Clinton laid his hands on the blonde, and she smacked him."

Bill Clinton thought, "George put his hand on that blonde, and by mistake she slapped me."

George Bush thought, "I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can smack Clinton again."

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, it took the astronauts to a Navajo reservation in Arizona for training. One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space crew walking among the rocks. The elder, who spoke only
Navajo, asked a question. His son translated for the NASA people: "What are these guys in the big suits doing?
One of the astronauts replied that they were practicing for a trip to the moon.

When his son relayed this comment, the Navajo elder got all excited and asked if it would be possible to give the astronauts a message to deliver to the moon.
Recognizing a promotional opportunity when he saw one, a NASA officer accompanying the astronauts said,
"Why certainly!" and told an underling to get a tape recorder.

The Navajo elder's comments into the microphone were brief. The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what his father had said. The son listened to the recording and laughed uproariously. But he refused to translate.

So, the NASA people took the tape to a nearby Navajo village and played it for other members of the tribe. They too laughed long and loudly, but also refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.

Finally, an official government translator was summoned. After he finally stopped laughing, the translator relayed the message: "Watch out for these a--holes. They have come to steal your land." /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Well, it looks like I've found the party! I've been reading through the thread, you all have an AWESOME sense of humor! I was ROTFLMAO the entire time! Here's one, seems relevant. I hope it's worthy of your thread:

The female patient was worried. "Doctor, three weeks ago I started peeing quarters! Then two weeks ago it stopped, but I started peeing dimes. Last week it was nickels, and yesterday I started peeing pennies. Can you tell me what's wrong with me?"

Dear Maevis,

I have become a little older since I saw you last, and a few changes have come into my life since then. I have become quite a frivolous old gal. I am seeing five gentlemen every day.

Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go see John. Then Charlie Horse comes along and takes a lot of my time and attention. When he leaves Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, and he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day I'm really tired and go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life!

The preacher came to call the other day. He said that at my age, I should be thinking of the hereafter. I told him I do all the time. No matter where I am, in the den, in the bedroom, in the kitchen or in the garage, I ask myself, "What am I here after?"

Well. I guess growing old isn't so bad since old folks are worth a fortune with silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet, and gas in their stomachs!

Your good ole friend, Ethel

Granny said that times were hard and hungry back on the farm.

"It was winter and dark by supper time. The family home place weren't nothing but a shotgun shack nestled in the snow-covered Tennessee hills. Them winter nights was lit by nothing but an old smoky coal oil lantern. Thar was naught but that lantern to ward off the dark of night.

In them times, meals was mostly beans, collard greens and cornbread unless Grandpa could sneak up the road to steal a chicken from the neighbor's chicken coop and get away before old man Robertson turned his dogs loose.

That night, Grandpa had stolt another chicken and Mama dressed it for the frying pan by the fading light of day. The boys and men come in hungry from a day of cutting timber on the rich banker's land over the ridge. He never knew we was the one who took them trees. We gals was right hungry too as we had no machines to do our chores. As we gathered at the table, many greedy eyes lay fixed on that platter of golden brown hot fried chicken.

They was just enough forks to go around, save one, so Grandpa being the last to the table, had to eat with his hands.

We all made light work of that tender bird and soon only a single drumstick was left.

Mama insisted most solemn-like that Grandpa, being the one to provide the meat should have call on the last piece.

Suddenly the dim light from the lantern gave out, plunging our house into darkness.

But in the darkness we heard the sickening sound of countless forks stabbing flesh and immediately a scream like a wildcat nigh curdled our blood.

Fretful and worrysome, Mama relit the lantern and as the light returned to the table, we saw Grandpa's twitching right hand clutching the chicken drumstick and every fork in the house piercing his bony hand.

Grandpa's chicken flinching days was over, as his hand weren't never quite right from then on. None of the rest of us was quite as sly a thief as Grandpa, so we ate a lot more possum from then on, but for the sake of politeness called it 'four-legged chicken'.

If you should ever come to supper back at the home place in Tennessee, be you honored guest or kin, best you bring your own fork!"

I grinned and looked up at Granny and the smile faded from my face when I saw that she was not joking.

Closest Shave Ever

A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks.
"I have just the thing," says the barber, taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place this between your cheek and gum." The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced. After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech, "And what if I swallow it?"

"No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does!"

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose
face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.

"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head.

His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I
love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful!"

The boy looked up, " Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles."

The little boy peered intensely into his grandma's face, thought for a moment, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."
------------------------------------------------


A mother was telling her little girl what her own
childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in.

At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

------------------------------------------------

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked,
"Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo and asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.
------------------------------------------------

When my grandson, Billy, and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in.

Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

------------------------------------------------

At the head table in the cafeteria of a Catholic school, one of the nuns had placed a big bowl of
bright red, fresh, juicy apples. Beside the bowl, she placed a note, which read "Take only one. Remember, God is watching."

At the other end of the table was a bowl full of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, still warm from the oven. Beside the bowl was scrawled
a little note which read: "Take all you want. God is watching the apples." /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The man says, becaue I am a kind nudist and if you come into my house and yard you may eat my vegetables and if you did I would be forced to squash you so flat it would be painful - to me and especially you !!!

Is it fair, just because we are powerful, to routinely squash and kill insects, ants, flys and millions of other harmless creatures. Is that why the human race is so agreesive and seems to endlessly go to war.

Cowboy Joe was telling his fellow cowboys, back on the ranch, about his visit to a big-city church.
"When I got there, they had me park my old truck in the corral," Joe began.
"You mean the parking lot," interrupted Charlie, a more worldly fellow.
"I walked up the trail to the gate," Joe continued.
"The sidewalk to the door," Charlie corrected him.
"Inside the door, I was met by this dude," Joe went on.
"That would be the usher," Charlie explained.
"Well, the usher led me down the chute," Joe said.
"You mean the aisle," Charlie said.
"Then he led to a stall and told me to sit there," Joe continued.
"Pew," Charlie retorted.
"Yeah," recalled Joe. "That's what the pretty lady said when I sat down beside her."

Well this thread is going to the dogs. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

How many dogs Does It Take to Change A Light Bulb?
1) Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
2) Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
3) Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4) Rottweiler: Make me.
5) Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6) Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
7) German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that noone has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8) Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
9) Old English Sheep Dog: Light Bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb.
10) Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
11) Chihuahua: Yo Quiero Taco Bulb.
12) Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is. Right there...
13) Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
14) Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
15) Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear; he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

The Cat's Answer: "Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real questionis: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?

ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF.

What is a Cat?
1) Cats do what they want..
2) They rarely listen to you.
3) They're totally unpredictable.
4) When you want to play, they want to be alone.
5) When you want to be alone, they want to play.
6) They expect you to cater to their every whim.
7) They're moody.
8) They leave hair everywhere.

CONCLUSION: They're tiny women in little fur coats.

What is a Dog?
1) Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house.
2) They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room.
3) They can look dumb and loveable all at the same time.
4) They growl when they are not happy.
5) When you want to play, they want to play.
6) When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7) They leave their toys everywhere.
8) They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.
9) They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you.

CONCLUSION: They're tiny men in little fur coats.

Here's one that's sure to tickle your fancy! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.

This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.

The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.

The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that said , "The Double Mint Twins are Coming" and I grinned.

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, "Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling," and I had to smile.

Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick," and I could hardly contain myself.

Eye-catching young lady gets on a bus, where there's standing room only.
She says loudly, "Who'll give up their seat, for a pregnant lady?
One guy says, "You can have my seat".
Then he says, "You look pretty good for pregnant, how far on are you?"
She says, "Ten minutes, but gosh, it really makes you tired".

You might be a redneck if...

You think harrass is two words.
You consider fast food hitting a deer at 65 MPH.
Every day someone comes to your house mistakenly thinking you're having a yard sale.
Fifth grade was the best 6 years of your life.
You have more dogs than the local shelter.
You consistently receive credit card offers with a limit of $1.25.

How do you know when you're staying in an Arkansas hotel?
When you call the front desk and say, "I've gotta leak in my sink," and the person at the front desk says, "Go ahead!"

Did you hear that they've raised the minimum drinking age to 32 in West Virginia?
It seems they want to keep alcohol out of the high schools!

HILLBILLIES TO THE RESCUE

Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of
whiskey, they talk about their own moonshine operations.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a
sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress.

One of the hillbillies looks at her and says "Kin ya swaller?"
The woman shakes her head no.

"Kin ya breathe?" The woman begins to turn blue and shakes
her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up the back of
her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.

The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the
obstruction flies out of her mouth.


As she begins to breathe again, the hillbilly walks slowly
back to the bar. His partner says "Ya know, I'd heerd of that there "Hind Lick Maneuver," but I ain't never seed nobody do it!"

-----------------------

Two very elderly ladies were enjoying the sunshine on a park bench in Miami.

They had been meeting in that park every sunny day, for over 12 years.

One day, the younger of the two ladies, turns to the other and says, "Please don't be angry with me dear, but I am so embarrassed. After all these years I can't remember your name."

The older friend stares at her, looking very distressed, says nothing for two full minutes, and finally with tearful eyes, says, "How soon do you need to know?"

Shaybare and Jochanaan I think Jon-Marc may be having a blonde moment. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
-----------------------------------------------

An office exec was interviewing a blonde for an assistant position, and
wanted to find out a little about her personality.

"If you could have a conversation with anyone, alive or dead, who would it
be?"

"I'd have to say the living one."

------------------------------------------------


Another Warning:

If you receive an email entitled "Bedtimes" delete it IMMEDIATELY.
Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty.
It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also
delete anything
on disks within 20 feet of your computer.

It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards.

It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR,
and uses
subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.
It will program your phone auto dial to call only 0898 numbers.

This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.
IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING.
It will drink ALL your beer.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING??
It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company.

It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine.

If the "Bedtimes" message opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet
seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub.

It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill
your skim milk with whole milk.

******* WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. *******
And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of
you, sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you.

Send this warning to everyone.

If you are a blonde, this is a joke!!!

A college professor was doing a study testing the senses of first-graders
using a bowl of Lifesavers. He gave all of the children the same-kind of
lifesaver, one at a time, and asked them to identify them by color and
flavor.

The children began to say:
"Red........................cherry"
"Yellow...................lemon"
"Green....................lime"
"Orange..................orange"
Finally, the professor gave them all honey Lifesavers.
After eating them for a few moments, none of the children could identify
the taste. "Well" he said, "I'll give you all a clue. It's what your mother
may sometimes call your father."
One little girl looked up in horror, spit hers out and yelled, "Everybody,
spit them out - they're *******s!!!" /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Your joke about dyslextics hurts me a little bit. I have two grown children (48 & 46) who are dyslexic, one severely and one not as bad. I understand that it's me with the problem. I just winced a bit when I read the joke. (You got to a place I didn't know I had.)

Jon Marc, Do you know any good Eisenhower jokes?
I came along too late for them.

As for dyslexics. I have someone in my family with it. I won't make light of his struggles with it. But if a dyslexic is someone who frequently transposes letters as he reads or writes, who's to say that the rest of us aren't transposing our letters twice (instead of no change)?
i.e: "twice" becomes "eciwt" becomes "twice"?

Is there a word to describe those who transpose only the first and last letter of a word? (twice becomes "ewict")

Do some people transpose only consonants? (twice becomes "cwite")

Do some people transpose only vowels?
(twice becomes "tweci")

Perhaps sticking with palindromes as much as possible would help:
Able was I ere I saw Elba.

The solution that worked in my family was patience, hard work, and a little ytivel along the way. It must have worked because the family dyslexic makes twice the income of any of the rest of us!

03-02-2004, 02:19 AM
No, I don't have any Eisenhower jokes--yet. I need to get back into the joke site since my supply is running low.

Mildred was a 93 year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided that she should just kill herself and join him in death.

Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken anyway.

Not wanting to miss this vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be.

"On a woman," the doctor said, "your heart would be just below your left breast."

Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a bullet wound in her left knee.

-------------------------

I just saw something on "America's Funniest Videos" that I wanted to share with those who didn't see it. I thought it was hilarious--the funniest thing I've ever seen on there. The man involved apparently didn't think so though.

At a construction worksite, part of a building came crashing to the ground, flipping over the porta-potty nearby. Men rushed to upright it and out plopped a man in dress pants and a white shirt--well, it HAD been white. Everything in the porta-potty came out with him, and he was drenched. He walked away looking very upset. I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG time. Just imagine what he must have smelled like. Phew!!

Couple go to the doctor.
The guy says, "Hey Doc, we're having trouble having sex. Do you reckon we could use your couch, and you can tell us what you think?"
Doctor thinks it's a strange request, but he's there to help people, so says, "OK".
Afterwards, Doctor says it seems OK to him, but the guy says they still have a problem, and can they come back, same time next week.
This goes on for a few weeks, finally Doctor asks, "Exactly what is your problem?"
Guy says, "Well, Doc, it's like this. We can't go to my house, because my wife's in, we can't go to her house, because her kids are in.
If we go to a motel, it costs us 50 bucks. If we come here, it only costs us $30, and we get most of that back on health insurance, so what would you do?"

A lady goes to a vet and is told that if she put a ribbon around a snoring dog's penis he'll roll over and stop snoring.

The next night her dog is snoring so she goes to the kitchen and gets a red ribbon and ties it around her dog's penis. His snoring stopped.

Later on that night her husband is snoring and so she goes to the kitchen and gets a blue ribbon and ties it around his penis, and he stops snoring.

The next morning her husband wakes up and looks at the dog and looks down at himself.

"I don't know what happened last night, but it appears we came in first and second."

Oxymoron Definition: A rhetorical figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined.

EXAMPLE: "Oxymoron" - Removing the Ten Commandments from the courthouse
while making people in court swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God... while your hand is on the Bible!

I've always wondered what good that oath does with a person who doesn't believe the Bible to be what Christians believe it to be, or someone who sees nothing wrong with lying--even under oath. I really think it asinine to ask a criminal, "Do you swear to tell the truth" and so on. If he sees nothing wrong with committing a crime, is he going to have any problem with lying?

I believe not everyone has to swear on the bible. Some are allowed to make an affirmation of truth.

It is even part of the constitition in the description of the President's oath of office. Anyone may choose to simply Affirm that they will state the truth in court or when taking an oath.

The Ten Commandments are not prohibited from courtrooms or any other public building as historical, cultural, and legal antecedents to our system of laws. It is in its use to promote an establishment of religion that the Alabama Chief Justice went awry with the US 1st Amendment.

The US Supreme Court building has a legal depiction of the 10 Commandments prominently displayed on a sculptural frieze over the entrance. It is part of a depiction of the foundation of law that includes Hammarabi's Code and the Magna Carta.

That's it for the civics lesson. I'm out of time, I'll add something of alleged humor later. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Shaybare -- you are audacious, man! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Jon-Marc -- the swearing-in step isn't necessarily expected to evoke the truth. It's a formal legal step which causes subsequent untruth to be a felony crime; perjury, to be exact. This is what Bill Clinton was impeached for, not for a BJ as the liberals keep incessantly whining about.

Rex

Same thing, to a person who sees it in their interests to lie.
I suppose the fact that he/she promised to tell the truth, means they can be legally charged with perjury, if it's found that they have lied.
The Australian Prime Minister, the Dishonourable John Howard, has told so many lies, that it's become a sort of bad joke.
He has differentiated his election "promises" into "core promises" and "non-core promises".
According to him, it's OK to break "non-core promises", but not to break "core-promises".
Of course, he doesn't tell us which are "non-core", until it suits him to break them.
If this sounds like a bad joke, then it is, but it's the way this creature treats the Australian public.
Hopefully, the next election will see him booted out!

Rex - I can't believe that you are talking about "honest John". Who was it in Australian politics that said they would stay in power until they were carried out in a box, i.e. a ballot box or a coffin ? Politically, next year will be a very inetersting with new Governments in Aust and the USA
