My doctor told me there are over seven million people

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NORM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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!" <><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> You

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

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

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

address before running out of the store.
/x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/color>/fontfamily>The
cell phone was stolen from the store Friday afternoon.
/x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/color>/fontfamily>When
a police officer arrived, he found that 19-year-old Brandon Naradovy had filled
out a credit application.
/x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/color>/fontfamily>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

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

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

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,"

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

A few days later, the
stork's parents are desperate: their son is absent from the nest

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

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.

**** 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."
