THOUGHT FOR TODAY: My doctor told me there are over seven million people who are overweight.These, of course, are only round figures

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, golfers and tourists in general to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while in : Alachua, Marion, Lake, Collier, Seminole, Escambia, Osceola, Polk, Putnam, Pasco, Hillsborough, and Orange counties.

They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their shoes or clothing to alert but not startle the alligators unexpectedly. They also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator activity. People should learn to recognize the difference between small young alligator droppings and large adult alligator droppings.

Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers.

Adult alligator droppings have bigger bones,little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit lived in the same forest, but they didn't like each
other very much. One day, while walking through the woods, and they came across a golden frog. They were amazed when the frog talked to them. The golden frog admitted that he didn't often meet anyone, but, when he did, he always gave them six wishes, so he told them that they could have three wishes each.
Mr. Bear immediately wished that all the other bears in the forest were females. The frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit, after thinking for a while, wished for a crash helmet. One appeared immediately, and he placed it on
his head.
Mr. Bear was amazed at Mr. Rabbit's wish, but carried on with his second wish. He wished that all the bears in the neighboring forests were females
as well, and the frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit then wished for a motorcycle. It appeared before him, and he climbed on board and started revving the engine.
Mr. Bear could not believe it and complained that Mr. Rabbit had wasted two wishes that he could have had for himself. Shaking his head, Mr. Bear made his final wish, that all the other bears in the world were females as well, leaving him as the only male bear in the world. The frog replied that it had been done, and they both turned to Mr. Rabbit for his last wish.
Mr. Rabbit revved the engine, thought for a second, then said, “I wish that Mr. Bear was gay!” and rode off as fast as he could.

This old man goes to the doctor's.

"Help, Doc. I just got married to this 21 year old woman. She is hot and all she wants to do is have sex all day long."

"So what's the problem?"

"I can't remember where I live."

It was Saturday morning and Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully dressed in camouflage. Jake asks her, “What are you up to?” Alice smiles, “I'm going hunting with you!” Jake, though he has many reservations, reluctantly decides to take her along.

They arrive at the hunting site. Jake sets his wife safely up in the tree stand and tells her: “If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot.” Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't bag an elephant -- much less a deer.

But not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an array of gunshots. Quickly, Jake starts running back. As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming, “Get away from my deer!” Confused, Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he hears her yell, “Get away from my deer!” followed by another volley of gunfire.

Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is surprised to see a cowboy, with his hands high in the air. The cowboy, obviously distraught, says, “Okay, lady, okay!You can have your deer! Just let me get my saddle off it!”

Mommy and Daddy Dearest

There are some children in a class naming animals and they come across a picture of a deer.

So the teacher asks Bobby, “What is this animal called?”

“I dunno,” claims Bobby.

So then she says, “I'll give you a hint—it's what your mother calls your father.”

The boy thinks for a minute and then says, “Oh that's what a son of a bitch looks like!”

A married, couple in their early 60s, were out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish."

"Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband," said the wife.

The fairy moved her magic wand and suddenly two tickets for a deluxe cruise on a luxury liner appeared in her hands.

Now it was the husband's turn. He thought for a moment and said: "Well,
this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once in a lifetime so, I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to
have a wife thirty years younger than me."

The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed but a wish is a wish. So, once again, the fairy moved her magic wand and the husband became 92-years-old.

Moral -- Men might be ungrateful idiots but fairies are women!

A couple was celebrating their Golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage. 

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon, " explained the husband. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled.

My wife quietly said 'That's once.'

We proceeded a little further when the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.'

We hadn't gone a half-mile when the mule stumbled a third time. My wife promptly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the mule.

I started to protest over her treatment of the mule when she looked at me
and quietly said, "That's once."

A six-year-old boy told his father he wanted to marry the little girl across the street. 

The father being modern and well-schooled in handling children, hid his smile behind his hand. 

"That's a serious step," he said. "Have you thought it out completely?" 

"Sure," his young son answered. "We can spend one week in my room and the next in hers. It's right across the street, so I can run home if I get lonely in the night." 

"How about transportation?" the father asked. 

"I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles," the little boy answered. 

The boy had an answer to every question the father raised. 

Finally, in exasperation, the man asked, "What about babies? When you're married, you're liable to have babies, you know." 

"We've thought about that, too," the little boy replied. "We're not going to have babies. Every time she lays an egg, I'm going to step on it!"

A brusque, pompous lady charged into President Lincoln's office one day.
"Mr. President," she said, "I demand that my son be given a commission
as a major, at least. I ask this not as a favor but as a right because my grandfather fought at Lexington, my father fought at New Orleans and my husband was killed at Monterey."

"Dear Madam," the President remarked smoothingly, "It seems to be that
your family has done enough for this nation. It is now time to give
somebody else a chance."

--- When I was a coach for Little League Baseball, I used about the same opening speech every year: "We have to use sportsmanship at all times. There will be no yelling at the umpires or other players and no being poor losers. Do y'all understand ?"

At that point the kids would generally nod, then I'd add, "Good! Now please
go home and explain all that to your parents."

Wisdom From Grandpa

Whether a man winds up with the nest egg or a goose egg depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries. 

Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt
that he forgets his sugar. 

Too many couples marry for better or for worse, but not for good. 

When a man marries a woman, they become one, but the trouble starts
when they try to decide which one. 

If a man has enough "horse sense" to treat his wife like a thoroughbred,
she will never be an old nag.

OFF THE WALL WEIRD STORIES THAT ARE HARD TO BELIEVE BUT
FALL INTO THE CATEGORY OF "TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION"

From Kentucky:Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.

Police caught a Chino Hills man who allegedly stole a cell phone from a Radio Shack electronics store because he filled out a credit application with his name and address before running out of the store. 

The cell phone was stolen from the store Friday afternoon. 

When a police officer arrived, he found that 19-year-old Brandon Naradovy had filled out a credit application. 

The thief made it even easier with a photo to match. Before he left the store, he also took pictures of himself with the cell phone, which doubles as a camera. 

An employee was able to identify the suspect by comparing the photo on the store's computer system to the man's DMV photo. 

Naradovy was arrested without incident at his home Saturday and was later booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of burglary.

Three janitors at an elementary school in Ceres, California, tried to freeze a gopher to death by spraying it with a solvent that freezes gum and wax so it can be peeled or chipped away. Jeff Davis, 35, said he and his colleagues had sprayed several cans of the gum remover on the gopher inside a small, poorly ventilated utility room with the doors closed when one of them tried to light a cigarette. Sparks from the lighter ignited the solvent, causing an explosion that blew the janitors out of the utility room, sending them and 16 pupils to the hospital. The gopher survived and was later released in a field. Ceres Unified School District Superintendent Bruce Newlin commented that the men "used extraordinarily poor judgment."  (An Under statement if there ever was one...)

In New Jersey a gas station attendant, Miconelinando Rodriguez, tried to rob his own store. He got away, but was caught by police 15 minutes later. The problem was that he was still wearing his work shirt with his name on it, which was easily recognizable.

The customer was driving the butcher crazy. She wanted a piece cut off the fourth slab in the display. Was it fresh? Was the meat local? What had the cow been fed?

Finally, the butcher said, "I have just the thing." He started for his meat locker. At the door he stopped and turned. "The cow's name was Mildred, I hope that's ok

One day the Bishop Wright was discussing philosophy with a college professor. The bishop's opinion was that the millennium was at hand. As evidence, he cited the fact that everything about nature had already been discovered and that all useful inventions had already been made.

The professor politely told the bishop that he was mistaken. "Why, in a few years," he said, "we'll be able to fly through the air."

"What a nonsensical idea," Bishop Wright said. "Flight," he assured the professor, "is reserved for the birds and the angels."

I have a reputation at work for being a strict boss. One day I was in
the break room with another manager. I reached ino the refrigerator for
my lunch, which was packed in a Ace Hardware paper bag.
My co-worker stopped in mid-bite and stared at me, looking a
little tense. When I pulled my sandwich out of the bag, he sighed in
relief.
"What's the matter?" I asked him.
"Uh, nothing," he replied. "I was just beginning to think you
really DO eat nails for lunch."

Two storks are sitting in their nest: a father stork and  
baby stork. The baby stork is crying and crying and father  
stork is trying to calm him.  

"Don't worry, son. Your mother will come back. She's only  
bringing people babies and making them happy."  

The next night, it's father's turn to do the job. Mother  
and son are sitting in the nest, the baby stork is crying.  

The mother is saying, "Son, your father will be back as  
soon as possible, but now he's bringing joy to new mommies  
and daddies."  

A few days later, the stork's parents are desperate: their  
son is absent from the nest all night! Shortly before dawn,  
he returns and the parents ask him where he's been all  
night.  

The baby stork says, "Aw, Nowhere. Just scaring the heck  
out of college students!"

A businessman who needed millions of dollars to clinch an
important deal went to church to pray for the money.
By chance he knelt next to a man who was praying for $100 to pay
an urgent debt. The businessman took out his wallet and pressed $100
into the
other man's hand. Overjoyed, the man got up and left the church.
The businessman then closed his eyes and prayed, "And now, Lord,
that I have your undivided attention..."

After just a few years of marriage, filled with constant
arguments, a young man and his wife decided the only way to save their
marriage was to try counseling. They had been at each other's throat
for some time and felt that this was their last straw.
When they arrived at the counselor's office, the counselor
jumped right in and opened the floor for discussion. "What seems to be
the problem?"
Immediately, the husband held his long face down without
anything to say. On the other hand, the wife began talking 90 miles an
hour describing all the wrongs within their marriage.
After 15 minutes of listening to the wife, the counselor went
over to her, picked her up by her shoulders, kissed her passionately for
several
minutes, and sat her back down. Afterwards, the wife sat there
speechless. He looked over at the husband who was staring in disbelief
at what had happened.
The counselor spoke to the husband, "Your wife NEEDS that at
least twice a week!"
The husband scratched his head and replied, "I can have her here
on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The newly wed wife said to her husband when he returned from work, "I
have great news for you. Pretty soon we're going to be three in this
house instead of two." The husband started glowing with happiness and
kissing his wife said, "Oh darling, I'm the happiest man in the world."
But then she said, "I'm glad that you feel this way because tomorrow
morning my mother moves in with us.

Try to laugh each day, it will make you feel better!

Dandelions

Despite their bad reputation, dandelions are pretty little flowers with their yellow strands all tucked neatly into the center. And truly they are the most beautiful of all flowers when presented clutched in a child's dirty little hand.  No one gets yelled at for picking them.  Perhaps they grow only to be used and enjoyed by children.

Dandelions are ignored or attacked, never nurtured or cared for, and yet they always bloom profusely.  They demand no pampering or special attention to yield their bright blossoms; they pop up in fields, in lawns, and between cracks in the sidewalk, even in the best neighborhoods.  Can you imagine trying to grow them in a garden? They'd sneak through the boundaries and pop their sunny yellow faces up in the surrounding lawn. They would never stay put!

Christians should be more like dandelions.  Our sunny yellow faces should be a reminder that simple faith has deep roots that are impossible to dislodge.  Our vast number would show the world that even though we are not fancy or pampered we are evident everywhere, even in the best neighborhoods.

We should be as easily accessible as a dandelion.  Jesus is.  We need to get out of our gardens and jump across the boundaries that keep us where people expect to find us.  We need to show our sunny yellow faces in all the spots that need a little brightening up - the crack in the sidewalk or the lawn of a country club.

New Yorker Spotlights Blue Collar Comedy Tour  

If the The New Yorker profiles you as a surprising cul-  
tural phenomenon, you might be a redneck. In its July  
10 issue, the magazine reports on the record-breaking  
success of the Blue Collar Comedy tour, the personal-  
ities of its members (Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable  
Guy, Ron White and Bill Engvall) and the promotional  
skills of the tour's chief architect, talent manager  
J.P. Williams. According to the article, the tour drew  
the largest crowd ever at Nashville's Gaylord Entertain-  
ment Center this past February -- 18,183 people -- more  
than Billy Joel and Elton John attracted in their com-  
bined appearance there.   

 
July 13, 2006: Johnny Cash and Brad Paisley topped the Billboard overall album and country single charts respectively for the week ending July 22. Cash was first on the charts with "American V: A Hundred Highways," part of the series of albums he recorded with Rick Rubin. Paisley achieved his status with "The World."

On the album chart, the Dixie Chicks were second with "Taking the Long Way." Rascal Flatts was third with "Me and My Gang." Carrie Underwood was fourth with "Some Hearts," and Tim McGraw fifth with "Greatest Hits Vol 2: Reflected." On the overall top 200, the Chicks were 4th, Rascal Flatts 7th, Underwood 25th and McGraw 27th. July 12, 2006: When the Billboard charts are released Thursday, Johnny Cash's "American V: A Hundred Highways" (American Recordings/Lost Highway) debuts at Number One on both the Billboard Top 200 Albums and Top Country Albums charts. The album, out July 5, sold 88,000 copies, according to Neilsen/Soundscan.

Since 1958, while 7 of Cash's albums hit the top of Billboard's Country Album charts, only 1 other album of his has reached the top of the overall chart, 1969's "Johnny Cash at San Quentin." "American V" is Cash's first-ever release to debut in first.

"It meant so much for Johnny to be accepted by a new audience," said Rick Rubin, who produced "American V" and heads up Cash's label, American Recordings. "Nothing would make him more proud than this overwhelming vote of acceptance. Thank you."

"American V: A Hundred Highways," is the fifth installment of Cash's critically-acclaimed American Recordings series, and was recorded in the months leading up to his passing on Sept. 12, 2003.


**** Amy's Kitchen ****  

Chicken Pot Pie

1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
3 Tablespoons Butter or Margarine
6 Tablespoons Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1-1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
1-1/2 Cups Cooked Chicken, cut or torn into small pieces
1 10-oz. package Frozen Peas and Carrots ( I prefer fresh if I have some
)
3 Potatoes
1 Cup Cream
1 Pie Crust

Peel and cook potatoes until barely tender; remove from heat, drain,
cool and cut into pieces. Thaw veggies. Melt butter or margarine, add
flour, broth, cream, seasonings and heat to boiling, stirring
occasionally. Let cook until it starts to thicken. Add other ingredients
and continue cooking until thickened. Pour into small casserole, top
with pie crust, bake covered in preheated 400F degree oven, uncovered in
350F degree oven, until crust is golden brown.


**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT ****

Why are boats and ships always referred to as "she"?

We always assumed desperate or delusional sailors started this tradition. After all, they're out to sea for months with nary a woman in sight. However, it turns out " ship as she" may have had more to do with linguistics than a longing for female companionship. While we don't normally use kid's sites as sources (due mostly to pride), we found a shipshape explanation at BoatFriendlyKids.com. Many romance languages assign a gender to many words. In these languages, the word "ship" is always feminine.

One CNN article we came across offered a few other theories, including that the ancient Greeks may have come up with the custom. Dr. Ronald Hope, a former director of the U.K.'s Maritime Society, seems to think so. But others think the tradition began when goddesses were carved on the bows.

Regardless of how the tradition came to be, the practice is apparently over now. The shipping industry newspaper, Lloyd's List, now officially refers to ships as "it." So much for the romance of the open sea.

LAST CALL Y'ALL
A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a New Yorker were captured by a fierce
tribe
in a distant jungle. The chief comes to them and says, "The bad news is
that
now that we've caught you, we're going to kill you, and then use your
skins
to build a canoe. The good news is that you get to choose how you die."

The Frenchman says, "I take ze poison." The chief gives him some poison.
The
Frenchman cries, "Vive la France!", quaffs the poison, and dies.

The Englishman says, "A pistol for me, please." The chief gives him a
pistol. The Englishman points it at his head, says, "God save the
queen!"
and blows his brains out.

The New Yorker says, "Gimme a fork." The chief is puzzled, but he shrugs
and
gives him a fork. The New Yorker takes the fork and starts jabbing
himself
all over the stomach, the sides, the chest -- everywhere. There's blood
gushing out all over, it's horrible. The chief is appalled, and screams,
"What are you doing?!"

The New Yorker looks at the chief and says, "So much for your canoe, ya jerk."
