ADMIN REVIEW
 
Tom was in his early 50's, retired and started a second career.
 
However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day, 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, real sharp, so the Boss was in  a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, one day he called him into the office for a talk.

"Tom, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job, but you're being late so often is quite bothersome.'

"Yes, I know Boss, and I am working on it."

 "Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Air Force.  What did they say if you came in late there?"

They said, "Good morning, General."

2 Old Farts

 Two Old Farts, Rodger and Chuck, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. One day Rodger didn't show up.

Chuck didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something.

But after Rodger hadn't shown up for a week or so, Chuck really got worried.

However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park Chuck didn't know where Rodger lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Chuck figured he had seen the last of Rodger.

But one day, Chuck approached the park and -- lo and behold there sat Rodger!

Chuck was very excited and happy to see him and told him so.

Then he said, "For crying out loud Rodger, what in the world happened to you?"

Rodger replied, "I have been in jail."

"Jail?" cried Chuck. "What in the world for?"

 "Well," Rodger said, "you know Judy, that cute little waitress at the coffee shop where we sometimes go?" "Yeah," said Chuck, "I remember her.  What about her?" "Well, one day she filed rape charges against me and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pleaded guilty.

 And ...the Judge gave me 30 days for perjury."

Thursday July 26  2007

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.

But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.

MS; font-size: 24px; ">Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?

MS; font-size: 24px; ">Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?

What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?













Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to this story?

Scroll down

This is pretty cute, so I pass it on.

The moral is.....

If you don't let a woman have her own way....

Things are going to get ugly

Ten thoughts to ponder for the rest of our lives ....

Number 10
Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8
Men have two emotions:
Hungry & Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

Number 7
Give a person a fish & you feed him for a day; teach a person to use the Internet & he won't bother you for weeks.

Number 6
Some people are like a Slinky..........
not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Number 4
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Number 3
Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

Number 2
In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now The world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

AND THE NUMBER 1
THOUGHT FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES:

We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among
the millions of cows in America , but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants & terrorists are located. 

Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration??

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 accidentally steps 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 h as 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!"

A Captain was transferred to a desert outpost. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out back of the enlisted men's barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, what the camel was for.
The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, it's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel." 
The Captain said, "Well, if it's good for morale, then I guess it's all right with me."
After he had been at the fort for about 6 months, the Captain could not stand it anymore, so he told his Sergeant, "Bring in the camel!"
The Sergeant shrugged his shoulders and led the camel into the Captain's quarters. The Captain got a foot stool and proceeded to have vigorous sex with the camel.
As he stepped, satisfied, down from the stool and was buttoning his pants he asked the Sergeant, "Is that how the enlisted men do it?"
The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, they usually just use it to ride into town"

Mother & Son 

A mother and her very young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The little boy (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don't big airplanes have baby airplanes?" 

The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant. So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant.

The flight attendant, who was very busy at the time, smiled and said, 

"Did your Mom tell you to ask me?"

The boy said, "Yes she did."

"Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby airplanes because Southwest always pulls out on time. 

Have your Mom explain that to you."

Goodnight!! 

A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying: 

"God bless Mommy, 
God bless Daddy, 
God bless Grandma and 
good-bye Grandpa." 

The father asked, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?" 

The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do." 

The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence. 
A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this: 

"God bless Mommy, 
God Bless Daddy and 
good-bye Grandma." 

The next day the grandmother died. Oh my gosh, thought the father, this kid is in contact with the other side. Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say: 


"God bless Mommy and 
good-bye Daddy." 

He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack! of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. 

He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.


When he got home his wife said "I've never seen you work so late, what's the matter?" 

He said "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life." 

She said "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning the milkman dropped dead on our porch."

Planning for retirement?

If, you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

.......It's called the 401-Keg Plan!

WHERE DO REDHEADED BABIES COME FROM?  
 
 After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the  obstetrician. 
 
 "Doctor," the man said, "I don't mind telling you, but I'm a little upset because my daughter has red hair. She can't possibly be mine." 
 
 "Nonsense," the doctor said. "Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool." 
 
 "It isn't possible," the man insisted. "This can't be, our families on both sides had jet-black hair for generations." 
 
 "Well," said the doctor, "let me ask you this. How often do you have sex?" 
 
 The man seemed a bit ashamed. "I've been working very hard for the past year. We only made love once or twice every few months." 
 
 "Well, there you have it!" The doctor said confidently. "It's rust".

One night , after the couple had retired for the night, the woman became aware that her husband was touching her in a most unusual manner. He started by running his hand across her shoulders and the small of her back. He ran his hand over her breasts, touching them very lightly. Then, he proceeded to run his hand gently down her side, sliding his hand over her stomach, and then down the other side to a point below her waist. He continued on, gently feeling her hips, first one side and the the other. His hand ran further down the outside of her thighs. His gentle probing then started up the inside of her left thigh, stopped and the returned to do the same to her right thigh. 

By this time the woman was becoming aroused and she squirmed a little to better position herself.The man stopped abruptly and rolled over to his side of the bed. 

" Why are you stopping darling?" she whispered. 

He whispered back, " I found the remote!"

Life

The madam opened the brothel door and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties. 

"May I help you?" she asked. 

"I want to see Valerie," the man replied. 

"Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else," said the madam. 

"No. I must see Valerie," he replied. 

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $5,000 a visit. 

Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars and gave them to Valerie, and they went upstairs. 

After an hour, the man calmly left. The next night, the same man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two 
nights in a row -- too expensive -- and there were no discounts. The price was still $5,000. 

Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left. 

The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs. 

After their session, Valerie questioned the man. " No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?" she asked. 

The man replied, " South Carolina ." 

"Really" she said. "I have family in South Carolina ." 

"I know," the man said. "Your father died, and I am your sister's attorney. She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance."

One Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my lawn chair, drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn. 

The neighbor lady from across the street was so outraged that she came over and shouted at me, "You should be hung!" 

I took a drink from my can of Busch Light, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted my darkened Ray Ban sunglasses and stared directly into the Eyes of this nosy ass neighbor and calmly replied, 

"I am. That's why she cuts the grass."

An explorer in the deepest Amazon suddenly found himself surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of natives. Upon surveying the situation, he said quietly to himself, "Oh God, I'm screwed."
A ray of light fell from the sky and a voice boomed out, "No, you are not screwed. Pick up that stone at your feet and bash in the head of the chief standing in front of you." So the explorer picked up the stone and proceeded to bash the life out of the chief. He stood above the lifeless body, breathing heavily, surrounded by 100 natives with looks of shock on their faces.
The voice boomed out again, "Okay, now you're screwed."

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night, face all covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.  Pretty soon all the other bats smelt the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to piss off and let him get some sleep but they went on and on and on and on, finally he gave in.

"OK, follow me" he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a huge forest of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him, tongues hanging out for fresh blood.

"Do you see that large oak tree over there?" he asked.

"YES YES YES!!!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.

"Good!" said the first bat, "Because I flippin’ didn't!"

Quickie
The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 8 year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.

He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot", he shouted.
"An ambulance just drove by."
"Looks like the Anderson's have company", he called out.
"Matt's riding a new bike...."
"Looks like the Sanders are moving"
"Jason is on his skate board...."
After a few moments he announced, "The Coopers are having sex!!"

Startled, his Mother and Dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, 
"How do you know they are having sex?"

"Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle."

This is a bricklayer's accident report that was printed in the newsletter of the English equivalent of the Workers' Compensation Board. This is this Bricklayer's report ... a true story.

Dear Sir;

I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block #3 of the accident reporting form. I put "Poor Planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.

I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found I had some bricks left over which when weighed later were found to weigh 240 lbs. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor.

Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to insure a slow descent of the 240 lbs of bricks. You will note on the accident reporting form that my weight is 135 lbs.

Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel which was now proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explains the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone, as listed in Section 3, accident reporting form.

Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley which I mentioned in Paragraph 2 of this correspondence. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of the excruciating pain I was now beginning to experience.

At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up.
This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and severe lacerations of my legs and lower body.

Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked.

I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move and watching the empty barrel six stories above me, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the empty barrel begin its journey back onto me.

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned ... couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it ...  mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory  but that was too exhausting.

Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice too my life . but I just didn't have the thyme.

I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician,  but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy. 

I studied a long time to become a doctor,  but I didn't have any patience.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried .  but I just didn't fit in.

I became a professional fisherman,  but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.

So then I got a job in a workout center,  but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian, until I realized there was no future in it.

One day, there was a catastrophic event that caused all humans on Earth to die. To sort things out, everyone went to Heaven. God came in and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men who ruled their women on Earth and the other line for the men who were ruled by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St. Peter." With that, the next time God looked, the women were gone and there were two lines.

The line of men who were ruled by their women was 1000 miles long, and in the line of men who ruled their women, there was only one man. God became angry and said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons who stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them, my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?"

The man replied, "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here."
