Every now and then something extraordinary takes place in the universe.  I think this event involving Mars is worth note.

The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!  This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.

The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.  Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last  5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky.  It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide.

At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.  Mars will be easy to spot.  At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 PM.  and reach its azimuth at about 3 AM.

By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 AM.  That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history.

So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.  Share this with your children and grandchildren.

NO ONE ALIVE WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN

The Chair Test

===============

An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam
after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics.

The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor
picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the
board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that
this chair does not exist."

Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious
fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to
refute the existence of the chair. One member of the class however,
was up and finished in less than a minute.

Weeks later when the grades were posted, the student who finished in
one minute got an A. The rest of the group wondered how he could have
gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all. This is what
he wrote:

"What chair?"

Where do pets come from?  A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?" 

Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us." 

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so
that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will
accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. 

And it was a good animal. 

And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
        
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal." 

And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own
name, and you will call him DOG."  

And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. 


And they were comforted. 

And God was pleased. 

And Dog was content and wagged his tail.  
                                                                  
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride.  They strut and preen
like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration.  Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well." 

And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion
will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration." 

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.  

And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. 

And Adam and Eve learned humility. 
And they were greatly improved.

And God was pleased. 

And Dog was happy.  

And Cat didn't give a heck one way or the other.

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one.  Both of  their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them is hurt.  After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man.  That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars!  There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days".
Flattered, the man replied, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely!
This must be a sign from God!"
The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle.  My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break.  Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."
Then she hands the bottle to the man.  The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. 
The woman takes the bottle and immediately puts the cork back on, and hands it back to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police..."

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Women are clever and evil. Don't mess with them.

Three Servicemen Return From Afghanistan

Three servicemen, Air Force, Marine, and a Sailor, where all on a flight to go home on leave after spending time in Afghanistan.  When they landed a man approached them and said "boys, to show my thanks for serving our country I'm gonna give you my truck to drive home so you don't have to pay for a cab." The guys thankfully agreed and drove off.

Halfway there the truck broke down and they where stuck out on a lonely stretch of road. Off in the distance they saw a farm house and went to ask to use the phone. When the man at the door answered and saw the men in uniform he invited them in.  He said "Boys, for serving our country I'll cook you a steak dinner and you can shack up with my three daughters, you'll have to discuss amongst yourselves who sleeps with each girl, there's plenty of beer in the fridge."

The men ate and the first girl comes down the stairs, very pretty girl. The flyboy jumped up and said "she's mine" and goes upstairs.  The second girl comes down, prettier than the first, the jarhead snatches her up and goes upstairs.

The sailor is waiting for the last girl thinking he's getting the heifer of the group.  To his delight she comes down, the finest of them all. The next morning the farmer is cooking breakfast. The fly boy comes down first, uniform neatly pressed, fresh looking. The farmer asked if he wanted breakfast but the flyboy says, "No thank you sir, you've done enough already." and left.

The jarhead came down next, uniform not as neat as the flyboys but still acceptable. The farmer offers him food but he only drinks coffee, thanks the farmer and leaves.

The sailor comes down next, still a little drunk, neckerchief messed up and missing a shoe. The farmer offers him breakfast and the sailor ate everything and took off without even a 'Thank You'.

After they all were gone the farmer calls his girls down. Rubbing his hands together greedily he says, "Ok girls, how did we do?"

The girl with the airman says, "he fondled me a little, drank a beer and gave me $200!"

The girl with the marine says, "he screwed me one time, had a couple beers and gave me $150."

The poor girl with the sailor appears all tired and worn out, "he screwed me all night, drank the rest of the beer, and I'll be damned if he didn't borrow $50 off me till next payday!!"

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob.  They loaded up Jack's mini van 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 it's 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. 
 
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?" 
 
"Yes, I do."
 
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?" 
 
"Yes," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out.  "I have to admit that I did."  
"And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?"  Bob's face turned red
and he said, "Yeah, sorry, buddy.  I'm afraid I did. " Why do you ask?" 
 
"She just died and left me everything." 
 
(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?)
Now keep that smile for the rest of the day...

LOST BALLOONIST

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.

She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."


The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."


She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."


"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"


"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of

your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."


The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."


"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.  You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now, it's MY fault.

Note from Steve B:

Ok....so I read this joke and thought it wasn't that funny....but I had a nagging question......she lowered the balloon to shout to the guy in the boat....he gave her GPS readings...one of which was 2346 feet above sea level.....what was his boat doing that high about sea level.....a mountain lake?  If she was that high.....how could she talk to him if he was 2346 feet below her?  How many of you spotted that?

Eric has been in the internet and computer business for 25 years and finally sick of the stress. He sells his company and buys 50 acres of land as far from humanity as possible. Eric sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet. After six months or so of almost total isolation, he's finishing dinner when someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there is a big, bearded man standing there.

"Name's Lars... Your neighbor from four miles away...Having a party Saturday... thought you'd like to come." 
"Great," says Eric, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."

As Lars is leaving he stops, "Gotta warn you there's gonna be some drinkin'."
"Not a problem... after 25 years in the computer business, I can drink with  the best of 'em."

Again, as he starts to leave Lars stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."
Eric says, "Well, I get along with people. I'll be there. Thanks again."

Once again Lars turns from the door. "I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too."
"Now that's not a problem" says Eric, "I've been all alone for six months!
I'll definitely be there ... by the way, what should I wear?"

Lars stops in the door again and says, "Whatever you want, just gonna be the two of us."

After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger woman. 

The downtown luxury apartment was in his name and he wanted to remain there with his new love so he asked the wife to move out and then he would buy her another place. 

The wife agreed to this, but asked that she be given 3 days on her own there, to pack up her things.

While he was gone, the first day she lovingly put her personal belongings into boxes and crates and suitcases. 

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. 

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their candlelit Dining table, soft music playing in the background, and
feasted on a pound of shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay. 

When she had finished, she went into each room and deposited a few of the resulting shrimp shells into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. 

The husband came back, with his new girl, and all was bliss for the first few days. Then it started; slowly but surely. Clueless, the man could not explain why the place smelled so bad. 

They tried everything; cleaned & mopped and aired the place out.  Vents were checked for dead rodents, carpets were steam cleaned, Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in, the carpets were replaced, and on it went. 

Finally, they could take it no more and decided to move. The Moving company arrived and did a very professional packing job, taking everything to their new home...

...including the curtain rods.

Today's joke is dedicated to my friend Steve Filak

This was allegedly taken from a "Community Policing" question and answer via an e-mail forum in California.  Whether that's true or not is pretty irrelevant since it is funny as hell!

 

The question was:

"I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to harass people and get away with it?  And where can you go for help, other than a civil attorney?"

And the answer was:

"It is not easy.  In California we average one cop for every 2000 people.
About 60% of those cops are on patrol, where we do most of the harassing.
One-fifth of that 60% are on duty at any moment and available for harassing people. 

So, one on duty cop is responsible to harass about 10,000 residents.  When you toss in the commercial, business, and tourist locations that attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where a single cop is responsible to try to harass 20,000+ people a day.

A ten hour shift runs 36,000 seconds.  This gives a cop only one second to harass a person, and three-fourths of a second to eat a donut AND find a new person to harass.  This is not an easy task.  Most cops are not up to it day in and day out.  It is just too tiring.

Since you now understand why we cannot harass everyone let me explain briefly what we do to utilize some special "tools" to help us narrow down who we harass, so we can focus our limited "harassing resources" to those most worthy individuals. 

They are as follows:

The Phone:
People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on another person for special (concentrated) harassment. "My ex-husband just beat me and my boyfriend up and he is barricaded in the bedroom with our baby and a gun", or "My neighbor is beating up his wife and she is screaming for help" are a couple code phrases that are frequently employed.  Then we come out and give special harassment to the wife beater. Another popular one on weekends is "My neighbors are out of town and their kids are having a loud party."

Cars:
We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive; They usually ride motorcycles so they can get around fast or cut through traffic to harass as many people as possible in their given shift.  They like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars blasting music, cars with expired registration, tags, and the like.  It is lots of fun when we pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious then running a red light, going around railroad crossing arms, or driving 20+ MPH over the posted limit in a school zone.  Sometimes we get to really heap the harassment on when we find they have drugs in their car, are driving drunk, are unlicensed or have an arrest warrant!

Runners:
Some people take off running at the mere sight of a uniformed police officer.  Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like a trained beagle on the scent of a bunny.  When we catch them, gosh darn it if there isn't always some good reason to harass them for hours!

Codes:
When we can think of nothing else to do, there are books that give us ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called Codes, Penal, Vehicle, Health and Safety, Business and Professions...  They each spell out all sorts of silly things for which we can really mess with people. After we study these code books, we can just drive around for a while until we find someone violating one of the listed offenses and heap on the harassment! Just last week I saw a guy smash several car windows right in front of me. Well, believe it or not, one of the code books says that is not allowed. That meant I automatically got to harass this guy...of course he didn't like it, because just when I got done harassing him, the jail deputies harassed him and that will likely continue until the judge harasses him, then he will probably be harassed by a probation officer for the next couple of years. 

It is a pretty cool system that we have set up, and it works very well most of the time.  We seem to have a never ending supply of folks to harass, and we "get away with it" because the good citizens pay the tab for us to keep the streets safe for them...and your civil attorney.

Next time you are in my town, give me a "single finger wave". That is a secret signal that you wish for me to take a closer look at you, and maybe find a reason to harass you.

Men Die First for a Reason:
by Andy Rooney


Do you know how tough it is being a man...?

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you're a male chauvinist.

If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy.

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.

If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation.

If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism.

If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.

If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you're a wimp.

If you don't, you're insensitive.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.

If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you're a  pervert.

If you don't, you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you're sexist.

If you don't, you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain.

If you don't, you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you're after something.

If you don't, you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements, you're full of yourself.

If you don't, you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she's tired.

If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.

NO WONDER MEN DIE BEFORE WOMEN!

THEY WANT TO!!

A defence attorney was cross-examing a police officer during a felony trial, it went like this......

Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.

Q. Officer, who provided this description?
A. The off icer who responded to the scene.

Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender.  Do you trust your fellow officers?
A. Yes sir, with my life.

Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer - do you have a locker room in the police station- a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?

A. Yes sir, we do.

Q.And do you have a locker in that room?
A. Yes sir.

Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers?
A. You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.

With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called.  The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best Come-back" line and we think he'll win!

An American couple are touring Canada by car and get lost. They see a farmer up ahead, plowing his field. The wife says to the husband: "Ask him where we are." They pull up to the farmer and the husband says: "Excuse me, but we're lost, where are we?" "Saskatchewan," says the farmer. "Boy, we're really lost," says the wife. "He doesn't even speak English."

I read these to my wife......she smiled politely, but I didn't notice her taking any notes.  Steve B

Advice from Men to women 

 
To my female friends, this advice might be an ''EYE OPENER,'' but I make no
promises and no apologies... 
 
1. Never buy a ''new'' brand of beer just because ''it was on sale.'' 
2. Whenever possible, please try to say whatever you have to say during commercials. 
3. Please don't drive when you're not driving.  When I am turning the wheel and the car
is nosing onto the off-ramp, saying "This is our exit" is not strictly necessary. 
4. Don't feel compelled to tell us how all the people in your little stories are related to
one another: We're just nodding, waiting for the punchline. 

5. When the waiter asks if everything's okay, a simple 'Yes' will do. 
6. The temperature in the cave will be my responsibility. It will be slightly to moderately
cooler than you want it. 
7. Is it too much to ask to have the bra match the underwear? 
8. If we see you in the morning and at night, why call us at work? 
9.You probably don't want to know what we're thinking about. 
10. Silence does not need to be filled. 
11. It's in neither your interest nor ours to take the Cosmo quiz together. 
12. No, you can't have the remote control!

Airline Safety

A man traveling by plane was in urgent need of a restroom facility. But each time he tried, it was occupied. The flight attendant, aware of his predicament, suggested he use the attendant's ladies room, but cautioned him not to press any of the buttons.
There next to the paper roll were four buttons marked: WW WA PP ATR.

Making the mistake soooo many men make of not listening to a woman, he disregarded what she said when his curiosity got the best of him.

He carefully pressed the WW button and immediately a gentle flush of Warm Water sprayed on his bare bottom. He thought "Wow" these gals really have it nice!!

So a little more boldly he pressed the WA button and body temperature Warm Air blew across his wet bottom and dried it comfortably.

"Aha" he thought, "no wonder these women take so long in the bathroom with these kinds of services!"

So he pushed the next button PP with anticipation.  A soft disposable Powder Puff swung below him and
dusted his bottom lightly with talc. "Man, this is great," he thought as he reached out for the ATR button.

When he awoke in the hospital, the morphine was just wearing off... confused he buzzed the nurse to find out what happened.

He explained the last thing he remembered was intense pain in the ladies room on the plane.

The nurse explained, "Yes, you must have been having a great time until you pushed the Automatic Tampon Removal button."

THE FOLLOWING ARE REAL STATEMENTS MADE DURING COURT CASES:

Judge: I know you, don't I?
Defendant: Uh, yes.
Judge: All right, tell me, how do I know you?

Are you the defendant?
Defendant: No, sir, I'm the guy who stole the chickens.
----------------------------------------------------
Lawyer: How do you feel about defense attorneys?
Juror: I think they should all be drowned at birth.
Lawyer: Well, then, you are obviously biased for the prosecution.
Juror: That's not true. I think prosecutors should be drowned at birth,
too.
 ----------------------------------------------------
Lawyer: Tell us about the fight.
Witness: I didn't see no fight.
Lawyer: Well, tell us what you did see.
Witness: I went to a dance at the Turner house, and as the men swung around
and changed partners, they would slap each other, and one fellow hit harder
than the other one liked, and so the other one hit back and somebody pulled
a knife and a rifle that had been hidden under a bed, and the air was
filled with yelling and smoke and bullets.
Lawyer: You, too were shot in the fracas?
Witness: No sir, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel.
