Out Of The Mouths Of Babes
Ever notice how a 4
year-old's voice is louder than 200 adult voices? Several years ago, I returned
home from a trip just when a storm hit with crashing thunder and severe
lightning. As I came into my bedroom about 2 a.m., I found my two children in
bed with my wife, Karey, apparently scared by the loud storm. I resigned myself
to sleep in the guest bedroom that night. The next day, I talked to the
children, and explained that it was O.K. to sleep with Mom when the storm was
bad, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom that night. They
said OK. After my
next trip several weeks later, Karey and the children picked me up in the
terminal at the appointed time. Since the plane was late, everyone had come into
the terminal to wait for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other folks
waiting for their arriving passengers. As I entered the waiting area, my son saw
me, and came running shouting, "Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!" As
I waved back, I said loudly, "What's the good news?" "Nobody
slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" Alex shouted. The airport
became very quiet, as everyone in the waiting area looked at Alex, then turned
to me, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out
exactly who his Mom was.

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?"

A
cowboy walks Into a barber’s shop, sits in the barber’s chair and says:
‘I’ll have a shave and a shoe shine.’ The
barber begins to lather the cowboy’s face and sharpen the old
straight edge, while a woman with the biggest, firmest, most beautiful
breasts he’s ever seen kneels down and begins to shine his shoes. The cowboy
says: ‘Young lady, you and I should spend some time in a hotel room.’ She
replies: ‘I’m married and my husband wouldn’t like that.’
The
cowboy says: ‘Tell him you’re working overtime and I’ll pay you the
difference.’

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.

Female Guinness Book of Records---------------------------
Friday Sept 23 2011
Single Breath Sentence
An Oxfordshire woman today became the first ever to break the thirty minute
barrier for talking without drawing breath. Mrs.Mavis Sommers, 48, of
Cowley, smashed the previous record of 23 minutes when she excitedly reported an
argument she'd had in the butchers to her neighbour. She ranted on for a
staggering 32 minutes and 12 seconds without pausing for air, before going blue
and collapsing in a heap on the ground. She was taken to Radcliffe Infirmary in
a wheelbarrow but was released later after check-ups. At the peak of her
mammoth motormouth marathon, she achieved an unbelievable 680 words per minute,
repeating the main points of the story an amazing 114 times whilst her neighbour,
Mrs. Dolly Knowles, nodded and tutted. The last third of the sentence was
delivered in a barely audible croak, the last two minutes being mouthed only,
accompanied by vigorous jesticulations and indignant spasms.

One morning a husband took a pair of
underwear out of the drawer. "What the ? ? ?" he said to himself as a
little "dust" cloud appeared when he shook them out.
"April," he hollered into the bathroom, "why did you put talcum
powder in my underwear?"
She shot back: "It's not talcum powder. It's 'Miracle Grow'."

WISDOM OF A WIFE............
There is still a lot of wisdom with age.
When I was married 30 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said,
"Honey, 30 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a
sofa bed and watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a
hot, 25 year old blonde every night.
Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm
sleeping with a 55 year old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up
your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot, 25
year old blonde, and she would make SURE that I would once again be living in a
cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed.
Aren't older women great??!!! They really know how to solve your mid-life
crises!

Some Party
One Monday morning a mailman is walking the neighborhood on his usual route. As
he approaches one of the homes he noticed that both cars were in the driveway.
His wonder was cut short by Bob, the homeowner, coming out with a load of empty
beer and liquor bottles.
"Wow Bob, looks like you guys had one hell of a party last night," the
mailman comments.
Bob in obvious pain replies, "Actually we had it Saturday night. This is
the first I have felt like moving since 4:00am Sunday morning. We had about
fifteen couples from around the neighborhood over for Christmas Cheer and it got
a bit wild. Hell, we got so drunk around midnight that we started playing
"Who am I?"
The mailman thinks a moment and says, "How do you play that?"
"Well all the guys go in the bedroom and we come out one at a time with a
sheet covering us and only our "privates" showing through a hole in
the sheet. Then the women try to guess who it is"
The mailman laughs and says,
"Damn, I'm sorry I missed that"
"Probably a good thing you did," Bob responds. "Your name came up
four or five times."

As we all know, it takes 1 calorie
to heat 1 gram of water 1 degree centigrade. Translated into meaningful
terms, this means that if you eat a very cold dessert (generally consisting of
water in large part), the natural processes which raise the consumed dessert to
body temperature during the digestive cycle literally sucks the calories out of
the only available source, your body fat.
For example, a dessert served and eaten at near 0 degrees C (32.2 degrees F)
will, in a short time, be raised to the normal body temperature of 37 degrees C
(98.6 degrees F). For each gram of dessert eaten, that process takes
approximately 37 calories as stated above. The average dessert portion is 6 oz,
or 168 grams. Therefore, by operation of thermodynamic law, 6,216 calories (1
cal./gm/deg. x 37 deg. x 168 g) are extracted from body fat as the dessert's
temperature is
normalized.
Allowing for the 1,200 latent calories in the dessert, the net calorie loss is
approximately 5,000 calories. Obviously, the more cold dessert you eat, the
better off you are and the faster you will lose weight, if that is your goal.
This process works equally well when drinking very cold beer in frosted glasses.
Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent calories, but extracts 1,036 calories
(6,216 cal. per 6 oz. portion) in the temperature normalizing process. Thus, the
net calorie loss per ounce of beer is 1,020 calories. It doesn't take a rocket
scientist to calculate that 12,240 calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) are
extracted from the body in the process of drinking a can of beer.
Frozen desserts, e.g., ice cream, are even more beneficial, since it takes 83
cal./gm to melt them (i.e., raise them to 0 deg. C) and an additional 37 cal./gm
to further raise them to body temperature.
The results here are really remarkable, and it beats running hands down.
Unfortunately, for those who eat pizza as an excuse to drink beer, pizza (loaded
with latent calories and served above body temperature) induces an opposite
effect. But, thankfully, as the astute reader should have already reasoned, the
obvious solution is to drink a lot of beer with pizza and follow up immediately
with large bowls of ice cream.
A way to significantly improve the results would be to ***cook*** the pizza,
then put it in the refrigerator overnight and eat it (cold) the next morning.
Since the pizza would be below body temp, it would provide even greater
calorie loss to the body!
We could all be thin if we were to adhere religiously to a pizza, beer, and ice
cream diet.

Wedesday Sept 14 2011
A few minutes before the church services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon everyone had exited the church except for one, an elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the old man and said "Don't you know who I am?"
"Yep, sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings
are the only animals that stutter", she says.
A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered", she
volunteered.
The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked
the girl to describe the incident.
"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the rottweiler
who lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped
over the fence into our yard!
"That must've been scary", said the teacher.
"It sure was", said the little girl. "My kitty went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'...
and before he could say "F*ck," the rottweiler ate him!"

Little Johnny and Jenny are only 10
years old, but they just know that they are in love. One day they decide that
they want to get married, so Johnny goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her
hand. Johnny bravely walks up to him and says "Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are
in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."
Thinking that this was the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, "Well Johnny,
you are only 10. Where will you two live?" Without even taking a moment to
think about it Johnny replies, "In Jenny's room. It's bigger than mine and
we can both fit there nicely."
Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin,"Okay
then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job. You'll need to
support Jenny." Again, Johnny instantly replies, "Our
allowance...Jenny makes 5 bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about
60 bucks a month, and that should do us just fine."
By this time Mr. Smith is a little shocked that Johnny has put so much thought
into this. So, he thinks for a moment trying to come up with something that
Johnny won't have an answer to.
After a second, Mr. Smith says, "Well Johnny, it seems like you have got
everything all figured out. I just have one more question for you. What will you
do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?"
Johnny just shrugs his shoulders and says "Well, we've been lucky so
far..."
