ITALIAN STYLE PIG STORY ..... 

The Three Little Pigs - Italian Style 

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. The straw pig, the stick pig and the brick pig. 

One day this nasty old wolf came up to the straw pig's house and said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did !!! 

So the straw pig went running over to the stick pig's house and said, "Please let me in, the wolf just blew down my house." So the stick Pig let the straw pig in. 

Just then the wolf showed up and said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did !!! 

So the straw pig and the stick pig went running over to the brick pig's house and said, "Let us in, let us in, the big bad wolf just blew our houses down!" 

So the brick pig let them in just as the wolf showed up. The wolf said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." The straw pig and the stick pig were so scared! But the brick pig picked up the phone and made a call. 

A few minutes passed and a big, black Caddy pulls up. 

Out step two massive pigs in pin striped suits and fedora hats. These pigs come over to the wolf, grab him by the neck and beat the living crap out of him, then one of them pulled out a gun, stuck it in his mouth and fired, killing the wolf, then they got back into their Caddy and drove off. 

The straw pig and stick pig were amazed!!! "Who the hell were those guys?" they asked. 

"Those were my cousins... the Guinea Pigs

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.

It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.

GEORGE CARLIN STRIKES AGAIN

       1. Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
       bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

       2. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section
       in a swimming pool?

       3. OK.... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa
       Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs," what does that make the Tennessee
       Titans?

       4. If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys
       it?

       5. There are three religious truths: Jews do not recognize Jesus as the
       Messiah. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian
       faith. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters.

       6. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland
       called Holes?

       7. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

       8. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

       9. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to
       begin with?

       10. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who
       drives a racecar is not a racist?

       11. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

       12. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that
       electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models
       deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

       13. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

       14. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

       15. What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

       16. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as
       they get older; then it dawned on me .....they're cramming for their final
       exam.

       17. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and
       forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?

       18. Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we
       supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the
       postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?

       19. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the
       others here for?

       20. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

       21. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?

"I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and think, 'Well, that's not going to happen."

"Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing."

"The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going."

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to.

"According to a recent survey, men say the first thing they notice about a woman are their eyes. And women say the first thing they notice about men is they're a bunch of liars."

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

"All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism."

Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut save you thirty cents?

In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Doctors can be frustrating. You wait a month-and-a-half for an appointment, and he says, "I wish you'd come to me sooner."

"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."

"You read about all these terrorists--most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas, some for as long as 10-15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster; you are two days late with a video and those people are all over you. Let's put Blockbuster in charge of immigration."

The Smiths were unable to conceive children, and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon." 

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning madam. I've come to......" 

"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. 

"Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good! I've made a specialty of babies." 

"That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat." After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?" 

"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too....you can really spread out!" 

"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me!" 

"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results." 

"My, my, that's a lot of ...of.....!!" gasped Mrs. Smith. 

"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure." 

"Don't I know it," Mrs. Smith muttered. The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus." 

"Oh my god!!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief. 

"And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with." 

"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith faintly. 

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a good look." 

"Four and five deep?" asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement. 

"Yes", the photographer said. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling; I could hardly concentrate! 

Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in. 

" Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "You mean they actually chewed on your... um...equipment?" 

"That's right. Well, madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so that we can get to work" 

"Tripod???!!" 

"Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for me to hold for very long.......Madam? Madam?...Good Lord, she's fainted....!"

What's in a name? 

A cop stops a car for traveling faster than the posted speed limit. Since he's in a good mood that day he decides he might give the fellow a break and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. 

So, he asks the man his name. "Fred, " he replies. "Fred what?" the officer asks. "Just Fred," the man responds. When the officer presses him for a last name, the man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it.

"Tell me Fred, how did you lose your last name?"

The man replies, "It's a long story so stay with me. I was born Fred Dingaling. I know, funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time. So I stayed to myself. I studied hard and got good grades. 

When I got older I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college medical school, internship, residency, finally got my degree so I was Fred Dingaling, MD. 

After a while I got bored being a doctor so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream. Got all the way through school, got my degree so I was now Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS. 

Got bored doing dentistry so I started fooling around with my assistant. She gave me VD. So, I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD so they took away my DDS so I was Fred Dingaling MD with VD. 

Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took away my dingaling so now I'm just Fred."

Get out your hanky and dry them tears----

This will warm your heart............... Just when you have lost faith in human kindness. Someone who teaches at a Middle School in Safety Harbor, Florida forwarded the following letter. The letter was sent to the principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all human kind. Forward to anyone you know who might need a lift today! 


Dear Safety Harbor Middle School: 

God bless you for the beautiful radio won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Safety Harbor Assisted Home for the Aged.   All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me.

God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen 
to hers, even when she was napping. The other day her radio fell off the night stand and broke into a lot of pieces It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my ass. Thank you for that opportunity. 

Sincerely,
Edna Walters

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating
the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
 Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine..

Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). 

You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to "butter them up")!

Questions lawyers shouldn't ask

Lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. 
In a trial, in a small Southern town the prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grand-motherly, elderly woman to the stand. 

He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" 
She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." 

The Lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster too. He's lazy! , bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him." The defense attorney almost died 

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, I'll throw your sorry asses in jail"

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY  

A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day.  

She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around and then speak to them.  

Generally the people would respond negatively and she would wander off, but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money for something she carried in her bag.  

The couple assumed she was selling drugs, and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.  

After a couple of weeks the wife said, "Honey, have you ever noticed that she only approaches people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?"  

He hadn't, and said so.  

Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach.   Then we can find out what she's really doing."  

Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road.  

Well, is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly in a hushed voice.  

"No, she's not," he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have.  

"Well, what is it, then? What does she do?" his wife fairly shrieked.  

The man grinned and said, "She sells batteries."  

"Batteries?!" cried the wife with astonishment.  

"Yes,....." he replied calmly.  I’ll tell you what she does.”

Two boys are playing football at this park in a small town in Alabama when one of the boys is suddenly attacked by a crazed Rottweiler.
Thinking quickly, the other boy takes a stick and shoves it under the dog's collar,  twists it, and breaks the dog's neck, thus saving his friend.

 A local sports reporter who was strolling by sees the incident and rushes over to interview the boy. He tells the boy he's going to write the story and says, "I'll title it 'Young Bama Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal.'"

 "But I'm not a Bama fan," the little hero replies.  "Sorry, since we're in Alabama, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and he starts writing again. He asks "How does Auburn Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack' sound?"

 "I'm not an Auburn fan either," the boy says. Oh, I thought everyone in Alabama was either for the Tide or the Tigers. What team do you root for?" the reporter asks.

 "I'm just visiting my cousin, I'm a Tennessee Vols fan," said the boy.
 The reporter smiles, starts a new sheet in his notebook, and writes:
 "Little Redneck Bastard From Tennessee Kills Beloved Family Pet".

A man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. He proceeds to walk into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher.

The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks the drunk, "Are you ready to find Jesus?"

The drunk answers, "Yes, I am."

So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, "Brother, have you found Jesus?"

The drunk replies, "No, I haven't found Jesus."

The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again for a little longer. He again pulls him out of the water and asks again. "Have you found Jesus, my brother?"

The drunk again answers, "No, I haven't found Jesus."

By this time the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk in the water again --- but this time holds him down for about 30 seconds. When he begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up and again asks the drunk, "For the love of God, have you found Jesus?

The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher,

"Are you sure this is where he fell in?"
