One day while walking down the street a highly successful Human Resources Director was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. "Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in, it seems we have a problem. You see, we've never had a Human Resources Director make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in" said the woman. "Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in." "Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the woman. "Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down to hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator opened at the Pearly Gates and she found St. Peter waiting for her. She spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now choose your eternity," he said. The woman replied: "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell." So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. "I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable." The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're staff..."

Three guys die in an accident and
go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule
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 guy
accidentally steps on one. Along comes St Peter with the ugliest woman he ever
saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for
stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly woman."
The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St.
Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extremely ugly woman.
He chains them together with the same admonishment as the first guy.
The third guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all
eternity to an ugly woman, is very careful where he steps. He manages to go
months without stepping on any duck. One day St. Peter comes up to him with
the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on. A very tall, tanned,
curvaceous, sexy brunette. St. Peter chains them together without saying a
word. The guy remarks, "Wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you
for all eternity?" She says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped
on a duck."

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
PAT BUCHANAN
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.
DR. SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been
told!
ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die. In the rain.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads
without having their motives called into question.
GRANDPA JERRY
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told
us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.
ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
KARL MARX
It was a historical inevitability.
SADDAM HUSSEIN
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in
dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK
To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
FOX MULDER
You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens
have to cross before you believe it?
FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossing the
road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
BILL GATES
I have just released eChicken 99, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook and
Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.
EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the
chicken?
BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken?
Could you define chicken please?
GEORGE W.BUSH
I don't think I should have to answer that question.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN
The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed
the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.
THE BIBLE
And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken,
"Thou shalt cross the road" And the chicken crossed the road, and
there was much rejoicing.
COLONEL SANDERS
I missed one?

A man
is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the
next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the
nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket towards
the man.
He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
Oh my, I am so sorry, " the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
"Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you, " she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theater
followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and
he shares his. She listens.
After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her
place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast.
They had a wonderful, wonderful time.
The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is
amazed! ! Everything had been SO incredible! !! !
"You know, " he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this
nice to every guy you meet? "
"No, " she replies. . . . "
Wait for it.
It's coming. .
The suspense is killing you, isn't it?
She says:
"You just happened to catch my eye."

BUYING
GIFTS FOR MEN
Buying gifts for men is not nearly as complicated
as it is for women.
Follow these rules and you should have no problems.
Rule #1:
When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has
one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can
never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why.
Rule #2:
If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet
or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I
borrow your ratchet?" "OK. Bye-the-way, are you through with my
3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.
Rule #3:
If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A
99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer, or something to hang from his
rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
Rule #4:
Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men bathrobes.
I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have
invented Jockey shorts.
Rule #5:
You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If
you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen
TV with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and
flips, and flips.
Rule #6:
Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs. If you do, it will sit in a
cupboard for 23 years. Real men drink whiskey or beer.
Rule #7:
Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after-shave or deodorant. I'm
told they do not stink---they are earthy.
Rule #8:
Buy men label makers...almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of
weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks.
Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door.
Lock. Sink." You get the idea. No one knows why.
Rule #9:
Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required" on the
box. It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.
Rule #10:
Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home
Depot, John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab Tire. (
Rule #11
Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook---but they will barbecue.
Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas
line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who
wants a hamburger?"
Rule #12:
Tickets to a Cowboys game are a smart gift. However, he will not appreciate
tickets to "A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts." Everyone knows
why.
Rule #13:
Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chainsaw. If you don't
know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens when he gets a label
maker.
Rule #14:
It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder.
Never buy a real man a stepladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one
knows why.
Rule #15:
Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least the
Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope. No
one knows why.

Saturday Apr 25 2009 ANZAC Day 2009
Today is the 25th April 2009.
During the dawn of this day, 94 years ago in 1915, a force of Australian and
New Zealand troops landed at Gallipoli Cove in the Dardanelles under heavy
fire by the Turkish Defenders. On this day and the months that followed, the
ANZAC legend was born.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget
Such was the bravery of the ANZAC forces that The Turkish commander, Mustafa
Kemal Atatürk, wrote a letter to the Australian people as below...
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives.
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they
lie side by side here in this country of ours ...
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your
tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, commander of Turkish forces at Gallipoli, 'father of
the Turkish nation', showing great magnanimity to his former enemies

The shopkeeper explains , 'Well , divorce Barbie comes with Ken's car , Ken's house....'

A man was stopped by
a game warden in Northern Minnesota recently with two buckets of fish leaving a
lake well known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those
fish?"
The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?!" the warden replied.
"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them
swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I
take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"
The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll
show you. It really works."
"O.K. I've GOT to see this!." The game warden was curious now.
The man poured the fish into the river and stood and waited. After several
minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well."
"Well, What?" the man responded.
"When are you going to call them back?" The game warden prompted.
"Call who back?" The man asked.
"The FISH."
"What fish?" The man asked.

Bargain Wines!
BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) -- Some Wal-Mart customers soon will be able to
sample a new discount item: Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's
largest retail chain is
teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, California, to produce
the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2-5 range.
While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of
Wal-Mart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for
cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams
University in Bristol, RI. She said: "The right name is
important."
So, here we go: The top 12 suggested names for
Wal-Mart Wine:
12. Chateau Traileur Parc
11. White Trashfindel
10. Big Red Gulp
9. Grape Expectations
8. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"
7. NASCARbernet
6. Chef Boyardeaux
5. Peanut Noir
4. Chateau des Moines
3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
2. World Championship Riesling
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine
1. Nasti Spumante
Actually my entry was "Sam's Shiraz." The beauty of Wal-Mart
wine is that it can be served with white meat (Possum) and red meat
(squirrel).

A woman went to her priest with a
problem. "Father, I have two female parrots, and the only know how to say
one thing. All they ever say is, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Wanna
have some fun?' "
"That's terrible!" exclaimed the priest.
"But I think I can help. Bring your two female parrots over to my
house, and I will put them with my two male parrots whom I taught to pray and
read the Bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that
terrible phrase, and your female parrots will learn to praise and
worship."
The next day, the woman brought her female parrots to the
priest's house. His two male parrots were holding rosary beads and
quietly praying in their cage. The woman put her two female parrots in
the cage with the male parrots. The females said, "Hi, we're
prostitutes. Wanna have some fun?"
One male parrot looked over at the other male parrot
and exclaimed "Put those beads away, our prayers have been
answered!"

We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the frontlines. They
don't know if we can fight or if we can kill. I think we can. All the general
has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the enemy over there?
They say you look fat in those uniforms."
* Elayne Boosler
There's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think there's a

I'm doing, just show me somebody naked."

THINGS YOU CAN'T SAY WITH A HALLMARK CARD
"Looking back over the years
that we've been together, I can't help but wonder: What the heck was I
thinking?"
"Congratulations on your wedding day! Too bad no one likes your
wife."
"How could two people as beautiful you have such an ugly baby?"
"I've always wanted to have someone to hold, someone to love. After
having met you, I've changed my mind."
"I must admit, you brought Religion in my life. I never believed in Hell
till I met you."
"As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am that you're not here to
ruin it for me."
"If I get only one thing for Christmas, I hope it's your sister."
"As you grow older, Mum, I think of all the gifts you've given me. Like
the need for therapy..."
"Thanks for being a part of my life!!! I never knew what evil was before
this!"
"Congratulations on your promotion. Before you go, would you like to take
this knife out of my back. You'll probably need it again."
"Someday I hope to get married, but not to you."
"Happy Birthday! You look great for your age...Almost Lifelike!
"When we were together, you always said you'd die for me. Now that
we've broke up, I think it's time you kept your promise."
"I knew the day would come when you would leave me for my best friend.
So here's his leash, water bowl and chew toys."
"We have been friends for a very long time, what say we call it
quits."
"I'm so miserable without you, it's almost like you're here."
"Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. Did you ever find out who the
father was?"
"You are such a good friend that if we were on a sinking ship and there
was only one life jacket....I'd miss you heaps and think of you often."
"Your friends and I wanted to do something special for your birthday-so
we're having you put to sleep."
"Happy Birthday, Uncle Dad!!"

Bear Alert
The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers,
hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert
for bears while in the Dillon, Breckenridge, and Keystone area. They
advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their
clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly. They also
advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. It is
also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity. People should be
able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear
droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and
possibly squirrel fur. Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and
smell like pepper spray.

A couple drove
several miles down a country road, not saying a word. An earlier

and pigs, the wife sarcastically asked,
"Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the husband replied, "Inlaws."

My wife and I have the secret to
making a marriage last: Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a
little wine, some good food, and companionship. She goes Tuesdays, I go
Fridays.
We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Florida and mine is in Cincinnati.
I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I
haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
She has an electric blender, electric toaster, and, electric bread maker.
Then she said, "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit
down!" So I bought her an electric chair.
My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the
carburetor.
I asked where the car was, she told me, "In the lake."
My wife is on a new diet. Coconuts and bananas. She hasn't lost
weight, but BOY, can she climb a tree now.
She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the
garbage?"
The driver said, "No, jump in!"
Remember....Marriage is the number one cause of divorce. Statistically, 100%
of all divorces started with marriage.
I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
The last fight was my fault. My wife asked, "What's on the
TV?"...I said, 'Dust!"
In the beginning, God created earth and rested. Then God created man and
rested. Then God created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has
rested.
Why do men die before their wives? Cause they want to.

WALKED TO SCHOOL 25 MILES UPHILL, BOTH WAYS
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were
then they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ....
uphill BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids
about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that...I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around
and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it
up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a letter ... with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street
and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your
mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't
know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!
And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or
some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were
just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there
was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK
for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up,
we had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing
and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled.
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

The over 30 Crowd

FUN REFLECTIONS ON LIFE!
1. Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.
2. I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.
3. I'm in shape. Round is a shape.
4. I'm desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.
5. Do you think illiterate people get the full affect of alphabet soup?
6. I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.
7. Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you
take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?
8. Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going
faster than you is a maniac?
9. You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when
she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is.
10. I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other
one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they
are always locking three of them.
11. One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental
illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be
you.
12. They show you how detergent takes out bloodstains. I think if you've got a
tee shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest
problem.
13. Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's
because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I
only have photographs of her on the walls.
