 "Some Vague Thoughts"

.....Vanity Plates seen on a Mercedes Benz in California . . .

.....Wealthy people miss one of life's greatest thrills . . .
       Making the last car payment.

.....The trouble with Sunday drivers is, they don't drive any
       better during the week.

.....If you can't keep a secret, you don't need to know it.

.....Quote from the boss: "I didn't say it was your fault.
       I said I was going to blame it on you."

.....If you want the world to beat a path to your door, just
        try to take a nap on a Saturday afternoon.

.....Measure wealth not by the things you have, but by the
       things you have for which you would not take money.

.....When your dreams turn to dust, it's time to vacuum.

.....Is your holier side your altar ego?

.....I need someone to refresh my memory. How many cars are
       allowed through an intersection after the light turns red?
       Is it three or five?

.....What's dumber, expecting educators to be entertaining, or
       expecting entertainment to be educational?

A honeymoon couple is in the Watergate Hotel. The new bride is 
concerned and asked, “What if the place is still bugged?”

The groom says “Hmm... Good point. I’ll look for a bug.”

He looks behind the drapes, behind the pictures, under the rug... 
“AHA!” he shouts!

Sure enough, under the rug was a small disc shaped plate, with four 
screws. He gets his Swiss army knife, unscrews the screws, throws them 
and the plate out the window.

The next morning, the hotel manager asks the newlyweds “How was your 
room? How was the service? How was your stay at the Watergate Hotel?”

Curious, the groom says, “And why, sir, are you asking me all of these 
questions?”

The hotel manager says “Well, the room UNDER yours complained of the 
chandelier falling on them!”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I got even with my parents. My parents came to stay with me for the 
weekend in my apartment. I made them sleep in separate bedrooms. My 
mother said, “What? Are you crazy? I’ve been sleeping with this man for 
years.” I said, “Look, I don’t care what you do on the outside. But 
when you’re in my house...”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Following a campaign speech, a young man rushed up to Senator Everett 
Dirksen and said, “Senator, I wouldn’t vote for you if you were St. 
Peter!”

Dirksen eyed the young man for a moment, then said: “Son, if I were St. 
Peter, you couldn’t vote for me, because you wouldn’t be in my 
district.”

Students at school were asked to write about the harmful effects of oil 
on fish. One 11-year old wrote, “When my mom opened a tin of sardines 
last night it was full of oil and all the sardines were dead.”

After much urging by his wife, my Uncle Joe applied for work on a farm. 
The foreman decided to give him a try and told him to milk a cow, 
equipping him with a stool and a bucket.

          An hour later Uncle Joe returned dirty and sweaty, the bucket 
in one hand and the broken stool in the other.

         “Extracting the milk was easy,” he explained.  “The worst part 
was getting the cow to sit on the stool!”

Doug and Tammy were about to celebrate their 20 year anniversary but 
instead they had an awful fight and went to bed that night not saying a 
word to each other.

  The next morning, Doug felt really bad about the argument and 
apologized to Tammy, hoping to smooth things over. “Honey” he said, 
“I’m really sorry I ruined ouR anniversary.  Please forgive me.”

  Tammy said, “Okay, you’re forgiven, yet again”.
Doug asked, “You’re the best babe. You don’t regret marrying me, do 
you?”

   Tammy sighed, “Every second of my life!”

A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. She rolled the dice and 
she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a 
vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"

  She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"

  A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his 
office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.

  As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore off the 
door on the driver's side of the Lexus.

  The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and 
within minutes a policeman pulled up.

  Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer 
started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up 
the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, 
no matter what the body shop did to it.

  When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the 
officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how 
materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your 
possessions that you don't notice anything else."

  "How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

  The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from 
the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."

  "My God!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex?!"

A man goes into a restaurant and is seated. All the waitresses are 
gorgeous. A particularly voluptuous waitress wearing a very short skirt 
came to his table and asked if he was ready to order, "What would you 
like, sir?"

  He looks at the menu and then scans her beautiful frame top to bottom, 
then answers, "A quickie."

  The waitress turns and walks away in disgust. After she regains her 
composure she returns and asks again, "What would you like, sir?"

  Again the man thoroughly looks her over and, again, answers, "A 
quickie, please."

  This time her anger takes over. She reaches over and slaps him across 
the face with a resounding "SMACK!" and storms away.

  A man sitting at the next table leans over and whispers, "Um, Pal, I 
think it's pronounced 'quiche'."

In most offices, the photocopier is out of order every now and then. 
One copy repairman had answered question after question for the 
employees. Finally one day, he just smiled and handed them this sheet.

  The copier is out of order!
  Yes, we have called the service man.
  Yes, he will be in today.
  No, we cannot fix it.
  No, we do not know how long it will take.
  No, we do not know what caused it.
  No, we do not know who broke it.
  Yes, we are keeping it.
  No, we do not know what you are going to do now.

How to Satisfy a Man Every Time

An old man goes to a diner every day for lunch. He always orders the 
soup du jour. One day the manager asks him how he liked his meal. The 
old man replies, in a thick acccent, "Wass goot, but you could give a 
little more bread."

  So the next day the manager tells the waitress to give him four slices 
of bread. "How was your meal, sir?" the manager asks. "Wass goot, but 
you could give a little more bread," comes the reply.

  So the next day the manager tells the waitress to give him eight 
slices of bread. "How was your meal today, sir?" the manager asks. 
"Wass goot, but you could give a little more bread," comes the reply.

  So ... the next day the manager tells the waitress to give him a whole 
loaf of bread with his soup. "How was your meal, sir?" the manager 
asks, when he comes to pay. "Wass goot, but you could give just a 
little more bread," comes the reply once again.

  The manager is now obsessed with seeing this customer say that he is 
satisfied with his meal, so he goes to the bakery, and orders a 
six-foot-long loaf of bread. When the man comes in as usual the next 
day, the waitress and the manager cut the loaf in half, butter the 
entire length of each half, and lay it out along the counter, right 
next to his bowl of soup. The old man sits down, and devours both his 
bowl of soup, and both halves of the six-foot-long loaf of bread.

  The manager now thinks he will get the answer he is looking for, and 
when the old man comes up to pay for his meal, the manager asks in the 
usual way: "How was your meal TODAY, sir?"

  The old man replies: "It wass goot as usual, but I see you are back to 
giving only two slices of bread."

Jim had an awful day fishing on the lake, sitting in the blazing sun 
all day without catching a single one. On his way home, he stopped at 
the supermarket and ordered four catfish. He told the fish salesman, 
"Pick four large ones out and throw them at me, will you?"

  "Why do you want me to throw them at you?"

  "Because I want to tell my wife that I caught them."

  "Okay, but I suggest that you take the orange roughy."

  "But why?"

  "Because your wife came in earlier today and said that if you came by, 
I should tell you to take orange roughy. She prefers that for supper 
tonight."

A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, 
and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded by saying 
that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.

  Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?"

  "Isn't it obvious?" the second blonde responded. "They're watch dogs!"

Three Pastors in the south were having lunch in a diner.

  One said, "Since summer started I've been having trouble with bats in 
my loft and attic at church. I've tried everything--noise, spray, 
cats--nothing seems to scare them away."

  Another said, "Me too. I've got hundreds living in my belfry and in 
the narthex attic. I've even had the place fumigated, and they won't go 
away."

  The third said, "I baptized all mine, and made them members of the 
church. Haven't seen one back since."

A young doctor who had instructed a class of women in first aid for several weeks resolved to put his teaching to a practical test. As he stood on the platform he suddenly paused, staggered and then fell to the floor. A wave of horror ran through the class. Some women gave faint screams, some rose and sank back into their seats again; but nobody came to the rescue of the prostate doctor.

After a few minutes he got to his feet and soundly berated his students for their lack of initiative. "What use is my teaching," he demanded, "if you can't tackle a simple fainting spell?"

His star pupil rose from her front seat with an injured air. "But, doctor," she exclaimed, "we thought it was a REAL faint!"

**** HEALTH NEWS ****
 Fruit helps satisfy sweet tooth  

OXFORD, England, -- Satisfying a sweet tooth with fruit can  
promote healthier eating and fight obesity, the author of a  
study on eating habits says. People who like sweets tend to  
eat more fruit than people who like salty and spicy foods,  
researchers from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., report  
in the July issue of the research journal, Appetite, which  
specializes in behavioral nutrition. And people who like  
fruit tend to eat more sweets than vegetable lovers, the  
researchers say. "Understanding these taste or preference  
co-variances ... helps us better understand what drives the  
consumption frequency of various foods," writes lead author  
Brian Wansink, a Cornell marketing professor specializing  
in food marketing and food psychology. Correlating people's  
tastes in one type of food with other types of foods can  
help marketers create "more effective message strategies  
that are more efficiently targeted," the researchers said.  
It might also help people satisfy their sweet tooth with  
fruit instead of sugar, they said. The researchers conduct-  
ed a random sample of 2,000 North Americans to determine  
if eating sweet snacks like cookies was related more  
strongly to fruit than to vegetable consumption, foodnavi-  
gator.com reported. The Web site provided no margin of  
error for the study.   

          Scientists image disordered brain activity  

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., -- Doctors know psychiatric disorders  
always involve activity in the brain and now scientists  
are using scanning techniques to get glimpses of that  
activity. Using techniques such as positron emission  
tomography results so far usually involve two brain  
regions:  
the limbic system, where memory meets emotion and the pre-  
frontal cortex, which supports planning, judgment, and  
self-control.  

Studies have concentrated on three disorders:  

-- Phobias: When a person who fears snakes is confronted  
with one, brain scans show rising blood flow and energy  
consumption in the amygdala, a center of fear and anger  
within the limbic system.  

-- Obsessive-compulsive disorder: When OCD symptoms are  
active, so is a brain circuit connecting part of the  
frontal cortex with the basal ganglia, a region involved  
in the coordination of movements.  

-- Depression: Results are conflicting. In some studies,  
therapy seems to heighten activity in the prefrontal  
cortex and decrease it in the limbic system, including  
the amygdala. Other studies suggest what changes is  
relative activity levels in parts of the prefrontal  
cortex.   

Study approves new cIAI treatment  

KENILWORTH, N.J., -- U.S. researchers have found the pharm-  
aceutical Avelox is effective for monotherapy treatment of  
complicated intra-abdominal infections. The Kenilworth,  
N.J.-based, Schering-Plough Corp. said its once-daily,  
broad-spectrum antibiotic was found to be as effective and  
well tolerated as a standard multi-dose combination anti-  
biotic regimen in the treatment of cIAI. In a study involv-  
ing 681 patients, Avelox -- the only marketed fluoroquino-  
lone antibiotic approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Admini-  
stration as cIAI monotherapy -- was shown to be effective  
at eradicating the most common bacteria that cause cIAI,  
including E. coli and B. fragilis. Current therapy for the  
disease involves multiple drugs taken multiple times daily.  
The new study showed a single daily dose of Avelox had a  
higher clinical cure rate than standard combination therapy,  
especially among patients who acquired cIAI in a hospital  
setting. The study appears in the journal Annals of Surgery.
   
  

Sunburn seems to heal in just a few days, but the blood vessels under the skin do not return to their normal condition for up to fifteen months.

Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" Guitar   
Donated to Musicians Hall  

The Guild guitar heard on Johnny Cash's 1963 hit, "Ring  
of Fire," was donated to the new Musicians Hall of Fame  
and Museum during a Wednesday (July 26) ceremony in  
downtown Nashville. Marshall Grant, Cash's longtime  
bassist and a member of his early band, the Tennessee  
Two, presented the instrument to the museum that opened  
to the public in June. Before giving it to Grant as a  
gift, Cash often performed, wrote and recorded with the  
guitar.  


July 27, 2006: Dierks Bentley will release his third disc on Halloween. While the album has yet to be titled, the first single, "Every Mile a Memory," is the fastest rising single for the Phoenix native.

Bentley went platinum with his first two releases, the self-titled debut and "Modern Day Drifter." "Every Mile A Memory," written by Bentley, Brett Beavers and Steve Bogard, went for official radio adds last week, and this week is 24 on Billboard (moving up 10 spots on the chart) and 28 on R&R (up 6 spots from last week) proving to be the fastest-rising single of his career.

The "Every Mile A Memory" video hits the airwaves on GAC this weekend as a "BUZZ CLIP and will be a "HOTSHOT" debut on CMT beginning next Thursday. Filmed as part of a recent live concert DVD project, the majority of the video was shot at Denver's Fillmore Auditorium with additional segments from Nashville. The video was directed by London-based filmmaker Russell Thomas.

Since the release of "Modern Day Drifter" in May 2005, Bentley has become the youngest member of the world famous Grand Ole Opry, a CMA Horizon Award winner and most recently an ACM Top Male Vocalist award nominee. All three releases off "Modern Day Drifter" produced number one hits, two of which spent multiple weeks in the top spot ("Lot of Leavin' Left to Do," "Come A Little Closer" and "Settle for a Slowdown"). His debut included the hits "What Was I Thinkin?" and the follow-up "How Am I Doin'."

July 27, 2006: Rodney Atkins debuts in first on the Billboard country album chart and third on the overall sales chart for the week ending Aug. 8, while Brad Paisley continues atop the song chart with "The World" for the third straight week.

This is the best start for Atkins, whose album is "If You're Going Through Hell." He took over from Johnny Cash's "American V: A Hundred Highways," which fell to fourth. Atkins also received good news on the song chart because his hit single, "If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)," is now third, up two.

On the song chart, Carrie Underwood was second, up one, with "Don't Forget to Remember Me." Toby Keith remained fourth with "A Little Too Late," while Kenny Chesney was down three to fifth with "Summertime." The biggest mover was Dierks Bentley, whose "Every Mile a Memory" was up 10 to 24th. The song is from his forthcoming third album. On the album chart, Rascal Flatts stayed second with "Me And My Gang," while the Dixie Chicks remained third with "Taking the Long Way." Underwood was down one to fifth with "Some Hearts." Alan Jackson jumped five spots to sixth with "Precious Memories," while newcomer Eric Church debuted in seventh with "Sinners Like Me," selling about 25,000 units. Billy Ray Cyrus debuted in 24th with "Wanna Be Your Man."

On the overall top 200 album chart, Rascal Flatts was 6th, Dixie Chicks 9th, Cash 12th and Underwood 22nd.

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

How do cell phones vibrate?

In the same way that we can only dimly grasp how airplanes fly and boats float, cell phones baffle us. Of course, our ignorance doesn't stop us from shouting into them each and every day. And since most of us use cell phones, the least we can do is set them to vibrate rather than subject folks to obnoxious ringtones.

OK, here's what we found: a flywheel motor with a weight is attached to one side. When the motor turns, the weight throws it off balance and creates a wobble. That wobble causes the whole cell phone, to jiggle.

Now, we want to ask you something: Did you ask this because you've tried to answer your phone when it vibrates, only to find it's not actually moving (or even on)? If so, you may have had close encounters with a new phenomenon -- the phantom cell phone vibration. Perhaps you're hoping for a call just a little too fervently. Perhaps your muscles are twitching. To be honest, we're not sure. But to be on the safe side, maybe it's time you call an exorcist (on a landline, of course).
