THOUGHT FOR TODAY:Sometimes the poorest man
leaves his children the richest inheritance.

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a
bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm
83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're
about my age. How do you feel?"
Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
"Really!? Like a newborn baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.
He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for
a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the
doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really
pleased that you can hear again."
The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit
around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A very elderly gentleman, (mid nineties) very well dressed, hair
well groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel smelling
slightly of a good after shave, presenting a well looked-after image,
walks into an upscale cocktail lounge.
Seated at the bar is an elderly looking lady, (mid eighties).
The gentleman walks over, sits alongside of her, orders a drink,
takes a sip, turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"

A man came into a shop with a 'Salesman Wanted' sign in a window. 
He went up to the owner and said, "I-I-I w-w-waannn-t the j-joooob-b."
"I don't know if this job would suit you because of your speaking
 impediment," said the owner.
"I h-h-havvve a w-wi-wiiiife and s-s-s-six k-kkkids, iiii-I re-really
neeeed thi-thi-this j-j-job!" said the man.
"O.K.  Here are three Bibles.  Go out and sell them." said the owner.So
the man went out and came back an hour later.
"H-here-sss your m-m-money." said the man.  The owner was impressed, so
he gave the man a dozen more Bibles and sent him out.  The man came back
in two hours and said, "Her-ers y-yooour m-m-money."
The owner said, "This is fantastic.  You sold more Bibles in three
hours than anyone has sold in a week.  Tell me, what do you say to the
people when they come to the door?"
"W-welllll," said the man, "I r-r-ring the d-door bell, a-a-and s-s-say
'H-Hel-Hello, M-m-maaaaddam, d-d-do you w-w- want t-t t-to buy
thi-thi-this B-B-Bible, oooor d-d-do y-you w-w-want m'me t-toooo read it t-t-t-t-to you?"

Three guys, a Nebraskan, a Texan and an Okie are out
walking together one day.  They come across a lantern
and a Genie pops out of it.  "I will give you each one
wish, that's three wishes total" says the Genie.
The Nebraskan says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a
farmer, and my son will also farm.  I want the land to
be forever fertile in Nebraska."
With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'FOOM'  the land in
Nebraska was forever made fertile for farming.
The Texan was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall
around Texas, so that no foreigners can come into our
precious state."   Again, with a blink of the Genie's
eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall around Texas.
The Okie asks, "I'm very curious.  Please tell me more about this wall."
The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 150 feet high,
50 feet thick and completely surrounds the state.
Nothing can get in or out."
The Okie says, "OK, then fill it up with water."

"When you were a little kid remember how hard it was to get  
a cookie? Way in the back, unless your mom was really mean-  
then they'd be on top of the refrigerator. Nowhere on a  
package of Oreos does it say, 'Keep out of reach of small  
children.' Where's the Liquid Drano? Under the sink, right  
next to the rest of the poisons." --Mike Bullard

"How do people meet their neighbors out in L.A.? I'm from

you hear that? Sounded like gunfire! Hurry up...put your  
nice clothes on. There are folks to meet!'" --Bob Oshack

CUSTOMER'S GUIDE TO SUPERMARKET SHOPPING  

1. When in the express lane, make sure that all items are  
rung up and bagged before you start looking for your check-  
book. Then, after you make a futile search for your pen,  
borrow one from the clerk and make sure your checkbook is  
balanced before giving up the check.  

2. Never get into the 10-Items-or-Less line with less than  
12 items. IT'S THE LAW!!!  

3. When in the 10-Items-or-Less line and you have your 12 to  
20 items, always ask the clerk if it's okay. That way, if he  
says "yes," then the people behind you will get mad at HIM,  
not you. If he says "no," then YOU can get mad at him.  
Either way, you win!  

4. Save all your pennies and dump them in the bottom of your  
purse so that when you are in the express lane you won't be  
embarrassed by spending all that time looking for one and  
not finding any.  

5. When asked if you want paper or plastic, take all the  
time you need to make the right decision. Don't be rushed.  
Get it right. If you're not sure just say, "BAG." That way  
they will have to ask you again, giving you more time to  
decide. You may want to practice this at home in case you  
are ever asked this question at a grocery store.  

6. Always, and I repeat, ALWAYS tell the checker your reason  
for choosing paper or plastic. Checkers by nature are very  
curious and if you should fail to give them your reason for  
choosing paper over plastic, the clerk is liable to lie  
awake at night wondering why you didn't choose plastic.  

7. Always keep this in mind: If something is heavy and you  
don't want to lift it out of the basket and put it on the  
belt. Don't fret whether the checker will automatically know  
the price. After all, everyone knows how smart those clerks  
are.  

8. Since everyone knows how ignorant those clerks are, you  
must always remember to tell them to not put the eggs and  
bread in the bottom of the bag.  

9. Feel free to ask your clerk anything you may want to know.  
All checkers are experts on how to prepare whatever meal you  
should decide to make that night. They can give you precise  
directions to anywhere in the state you might want to go.  
They can tell you the best restaurant around, the kind of  
wine you will like best or anything else you may need to  
know about life.  

10. Don't forget rule NO. 8  

11. After waiting in the checkout line for several minutes  
and it's finally your turn at the counter, be sure to tell  
the clerk that more help is needed. He will certainly ensure  
that there is plenty of help next time.  
  
12. When the clerk greets you and asks how you're doing,  
don't feel pressured into answering him. After all the clerk  
has to be polite-- but you don't have to.  

13. When the store is not busy and there is only one check-  
stand with a light on, be sure to ask the nearest clerk which  
check stand is open. You don't want to take a chance being  
tricked into the wrong one.  

14. If the clerk asks you if you know the price of an item  
and you don't, tell him it's "2-something" or "3-something."  
The clerks love that because they don't get to use their  
SOMETHING keys very often.

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while
they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into
the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom, pulled Jim out and brought him to his room.

When the hospital director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered that Edna be discharged from the hospital because she now considered Edna to be mentally stable. She went to Edna and said, "I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that you're being discharged because you responded so rationally to a crisis. By jumping in the pool to save the life of another patient, you displayed sound mindedness.

The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry.

How soon can I go home?"

During the banquet celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary,  
Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the  
benefits of a marriage of such long duration. "Tell us Tom,  
just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful  
years with your wife?" an anonymous voice yelled from the  
back of the room.  

Tom responded, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best  
teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, self-  
restraint, meekness, forgiveness -- and a great many other  
qualities you wouldn't need if you stayed single."

A dinner speaker was in such a hurry to get to his engagement
that when he arrived and sat down at the head table, he suddenly
realized that he had forgotten his false teeth.
Turning to the man next to him he said, "I forgot my teeth!"
The man said, "No problem." With that he reached into his pocket
and pulled out a pair of false teeth. "Try these," he said.
The speaker tried them. "Thanks, but they're too loose," he said.
The man then said, "I have another pair...try these."
The speaker tried them and responded, "Too tight."
The man was not taken back at all. He then said, "I have one more pair... try them."
The speaker said, "They fit perfectly!" With that he ate his meal and gave his address.
After the dinner meeting was over, the speaker went over to thank
the man who had helped him. "I want to thank you for coming to my
aid. Where is your office? I've been looking for a good dentist."
The man replied, "Oh I'm not a dentist. I work at the morgue.."

"Where'd you  pick 'em up?"
Richard beamed. "My old lady got them for me. Pretty   sharp, huh?"
"I'll say. What was the occasion?"
"Got me," admitted Richard with a cheerful shrug. "I  came home from work early the other day and there
they  were, hanging over the chair in the bedroom."

When Dan found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly
father died, he decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with.
So one night he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most
beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath
away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said as he walked up
to her, "but in just a month or two my father will die and I'll inherit
200 million dollars."
Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening and, three weeks
later, she became his stepmother.
Women are  so much smarter than men...

The young teacher of the earth science class was lecturing
on map reading. After explaining about latitude, longitude,
degrees and minutes the teacher asked Morris, "Suppose I asked

A woman called a local hospital . . "Hello.  Could you connect me to
the person who gives information about patients.  I'd like to find out
if a patient is getting better, doing as expected, or getting worse."
The voice on the other end said, "What is the patient's name and room number?"
"Sarah Finkel, room 302."
"I'll connect you with the nursing station . . "
"3-A Nursing Station.  How can I help You?"
"I'd like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in room 302."
"Just a moment.  Let me look at her records.
Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine,
she is to be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours and, if she continues this improvement,
Dr. Cohen is going to send her home Tuesday at noon."
The woman said, "What a relief! Oh, that's fantastic . . . that's wonderful news!"
The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you are a close family member or a very close friend!"
"Neither! I AM Sarah Finkel in 302! Nobody here tells me ANYTHING."

The church was considering the purchase of a new chandelier. A parishioner who was unable
to attend the business meeting where it was initially discussed, wrote a note to the head deacon
to express her opinion. The note said simply:"I am definitely opposed to buying a new chandliery
for the church, for three reasons:
(1) I can't spell it.
(2) If we got one, who's going to play it?
(3) If we've got that kind of money in the treasury, why don't we buy a new light fixture to brighten up the church sanctuary?"

This bloke is working on the buses and collecting tickets. He rings
the bell for the driver to set off when there's a woman half getting on the bus.
The driver sets off; the woman falls from the bus and is killed.
At the trial the bloke is sent down for murder, and seeing as it's
Texas,he's sent to the electric chair. On the day of his execution he's sat in
the chair and the executioner grants him a final wish.
"Well," says the man, "is that your packed lunch over there?"
"Yes," answers the executioner.
"Can I have that green banana?"
The executioner gives the man his green banana and waits till he's eaten it.
When the man's finished, the executioner flips the switch, sending
hundreds of volts
through the man. When the smoke clears the man is still alive.
The executioner can't believe it.
"Can I go?" the man asks.
"I suppose so," says the executioner, "That's never happened before."
The man leaves and eventually gets his job back on the buses selling tickets.
Yet again he rings the bell for the driver to go when people are
still getting on.
A man falls under the wheels and is killed.
The bloke is sent down for murder again and sent to the electric chair.
The executioner is determined to do it right this time, so rigs the chair up to the
electric supply for the whole of Texas. The bloke is again sat in the chair.
"What is your final wish?" asks the executioner.
"Can I have that green banana in your packed lunch?" says the condemned man.
The executioner sighs and reluctantly gives up his banana.
The bloke eats the banana all up and the executioner flips the
switch. Millions of
volts course through the chair, blacking out Texas. When the smoke  clears,
the man is still sat there smiling in the chair.
The executioner can't believe it and lets the man go.
The bloke gets his job back on the buses. Once again he rings the
bell whilst passengers
are still getting on, this time killing three of them. He is sent to
the electric chair again.
The executioner rigs up all the world's electricity to the chair,
determined to get
his man this time. The man sits down in the chair smiling. "What's
your final wish?"asks the executioner.
"Well," says the man, "can I have that green banana out of your packed lunch?"
The executioner hands over his banana and the man eats it all, skin
included.
The executioner pulls the handle and a zillion million trillion volts
go through the chair.
When the smoke rises the man is still sat there alive without even a
burn mark.
"I give up," says the executioner, "I don't understand how you can
still be alive after all that?"
He strokes his chin. "Its something to do with that green banana
isn't it?" he asks.
"Nah," says the bloke, "I'm just a bad conductor."

There were four  country churches in  a small TEXAS town:
The  Presbyterian Church , the Baptist Church  ,  the Methodist  Church  and the  Catholic Church .
Each church was  overrun with pesky squirrels .                            
One  day, the  Presbyterian Church called a meeting to  decide what to do about the s quirrels. After much prayer and consideration  they Determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they  shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.
In the BAPTIST  CHURCH the  squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and  decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The  squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next  week. 
The  Catholic group got together and  decided that they were not in a position to h arm any of God's creation. So,  they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of  town. Three days later, the squirrels were back
But  -- the  METHODIST CHURCH came up with the  best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered  them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter  .

My mother-in-law is not known for her driving skills. So it came as no
surprise when she was in another accident a couple of months back.
She came out of a side street and ran slam-bang into the town doctor's   car.
"Oh Doc!" she exclaimed, "I'm so awfully sorry!"
"That's perfectly all right," he said, "It was all my fault."
"I don't know how you can say that. I'm sure it was entirely my fault."
"No, no, ma'am it was my fault. I'll take the entire blame."
"But why is it your fault? I ran into you, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did. But I saw you driving downtown half an hour ago, and I had
plenty of time to take my car home and put it in the garage, but like a damn
fool, I didn't do it!"

This Kentucky horse breeder had a filly that won every race in which she was entered. But as she got older she became very temperamental. He soon found that when he raced her in the evening, she would win handily, but when she raced during the day she would come in dead last. He consulted the top veterinarians and horse psychologists to no avail. He finally had to give up because it had become a real night mare.

Back in the 1930s and 1940s, Sid Luckman was the famed quarterback of the Chicago Bears. His father, an immigrant tailor, did not get many chances to see his son play. Luckman made sure his father were there for one important game against the New York Giants. The game was going well. Then, in one play, Luckman got the ball just as his teammates were falling by the wayside. Luckman was left alone to fight off the opposing teams' huge linemen. As he dodged huge bodies hurtling towards him, he heard his father's anxious voice above the crowd yelling, "Sidney, let them have the ball. I'll buy you another one!"

After a gruelling day of moving my sister-in-law, Wanda, into her new house, we were sitting outside arguing which direction the house faced. Half of us thought it was south, the rest believed it was east. The question was settled when Wanda came out on the deck and announced, "East." When we asked what made her so certain, she told us that the day before, on the road beside the house, the speeding ticket she had received said she was "eastbound."

About fifteen minutes after I had wrapped a bulky item for a customer at the art gallery where I work and she had left, she returned. She told me I had given her a little something extra with her purchase. While driving, she told me, she had heard strange noises from the backseat of her car. Stopping to investigate, she discovered her package contained not only the easel she had just bought, but also the kitten who lives in the gallery.

 Any Tobacco Use Raises Heart Attack Risk  

THURSDAY, -- All types of tobacco use or exposure -- smok-  
ing, chewing, or secondhand smoke -- boost a person's risk  
for heart attack, Canadian researchers say.  

Researchers at McMaster University in Ontario analyzed data  
from more than 27,000 people in 52 countries and factored  
in other lifestyle traits -- such as diet and age -- that  
could affect heart attack risk. They found that any form  
of tobacco use or exposure was harmful.  

Publishing in the Aug. 19 issue of The Lancet, they found  
that moderate and heavy smokers had a three-fold increased  
risk of a heart attack and light smokers (8-10 cigarettes  
a day) had a two-fold risk.  

The risk decreased with time after a person stopped smoking,  
the study said. Among light smokers, there was no excess  
risk 3 to 5 years after they quit smoking. Moderate and  
heavy smokers still had an excess risk of about 22 percent  
even 20 years after they kicked the habit.  

The researchers also concluded that exposure to secondhand  
smoke increased the risk of heart attack in both former  
smokers and nonsmokers. People with the highest levels of  
secondhand smoke exposure (22 hours or more per week) have  
about a 45 percent increased risk of heart attack, the  
study said.  

Chewing tobacco doubled the risk of heart attack, the  
researchers found.   

Breast implants linked to suicide, but not cancer  

NEW YORK - A large Canadian study adds to evidence that  
women with breast implants do not face a higher risk of  
cancer or other major diseases, but they may have a higher-  
than-average rate of suicide.  

Among the more than 40,000 women in the study, those who'd  
received cosmetic breast implants had lower-than-average  
risks of dying from breast cancer, heart disease and a host  
of other major diseases.  

The findings, published in the American Journal of Epidemi-  
ology, are in line with those of several past studies.  
Despite concerns that implants might be a risk factor for  
cancer or other major illnesses, researchers have generally  
found lower risks among breast implant recipients.  

"To some extent, what you're seeing is a screening effect,"  
said Dr. Howard Morrison of the Public Health Agency of  
Canada in Ottawa.  

That is, women who undergo elective invasive surgery are  
necessarily in good health, and may have lower-than-average  
risks of various diseases.  

Together with past studies, the new findings should be  
generally reassuring to women with implants, according to  
Morrison, whose colleague at the health agency, Dr. Paul J.  
Villeneuve, led the study.  

But the research also confirmed another finding that several  
studies have now uncovered: women with breast implants  
commit suicide at a higher-than-average rate.  

"These findings agree fundamentally with those of past  
reports," Morrison said. "The one thing that lights up is  
this increased suicide risk."  

Though this study could not dig for the reasons, Morrison  
noted that other studies have found poorer self-esteem and  
elevated rates of depression and other psychiatric disorders  
among women who opt for breast augmentation.  

The current findings are based on data from 24,558 women  
who received breast implants between 1974 and 1989, and  
15,893 women who had other types of plastic surgery during  
the same time period. The researchers tracked deaths  
through 1997.  

Compared with rates for the general population, women in  
both surgery groups were about one-quarter less likely to  
die of cancer, and their risks of death from other major  
diseases were similarly lower.  

Women with implants were, however, 73 percent more likely  
than those in the general population to commit suicide,  
while women who had other forms of plastic surgery also  
had an elevated suicide rate.  

The risk was not dramatic, Morrison noted, as few women  
in the study committed suicide -- including 58 of the more  
than 24,000 breast implant patients.  

Still, he said it "seems reasonable" to suggest plastic  
surgeons refer implant seekers for mental health  
consultation when they suspect the patients are at high  
risk of a psychiatric disorder or suicide.   

Coping Strategies Help Caregivers Deal With Death  

THURSDAY, -- Offering caregivers the education, skills and  
support that helps them care for a relative with dementia  
can also help them cope with the death of their loved one,  
researchers report.  

The intervention, designed to ward off depression and  
increase coping skills, also seems to prevent complicated  
grief and depression among caregivers after the death of  
their ill family member, says a team from the University  
of Pittsburgh.  

"Our findings show that care-giving is closely intertwined  
with the bereavement experience that follows," study lead  
author and psychiatry professor Richard Schulz said in a  
prepared statement.  

Complicated grief can occur in people after the death of  
someone with whom they've had a close and loving relation-  
ship. Features of complicated grief include a sense of  
disbelief about the death; anger and bitterness; recurrent  
pangs of painful emotions with intense yearning and longing  
for the deceased; avoiding situations and activities that  
are reminders of the loss; and being preoccupied with  
thoughts of the person.  

Little is known about how to prevent and treat complicated  
grief, which is a newly-characterized condition. This is  
the first study to demonstrate the effectiveness of this  
kind of intervention in preventing complicated grief, the  
study authors said.  

This study of over 1,200 caregivers found that reducing  
caregiver burden, treating caregiver depression prior to  
the death of a loved one, and providing psychological or  
skills training helped the caregivers better cope with  
the death of a loved one.  

"Family members caring for relatives with advanced disease  
would not only benefit from traditional care-giving inter-  
ventions designed to ease the burden of care but also from  
pre-bereavement treatments that would better prepare them  
for the impending death of their loved one," Schulz said.

SIGNS THAT LEAD TO MISUNDERSTANDING

(1) In a Rest Room:

“TOILET OUT OF ORDER - PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW.”

(2) In a Laundromat:

“AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES - PLEASE REMOVE ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT.”

(3) In a London department store:

“BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS.”

(4) In an office:

“WOULD THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE STEP LADDER YESTERDAY PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR FURTHER STEPS WILL BE TAKEN.”

(5) In another office:

“AFTER TEA BREAK, STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEA POT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD.”

(6) Outside a second-hand shop:

“WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC - WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?”

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent

you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

2. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

3. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by

getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

4. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

5. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes,

thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

6. Have a bad headache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the headache.

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Remember:
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

A Swiss guy visiting Sydney, Australia, pulls up at a bus stop where two locals are waiting. "Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks.

The two Aussies just stare at him.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries.

The two continue to stare.

"Parlare Italiano?"

No response.

"Hablan ustedes Espanol?"

Still nothing.

The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first Aussie turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."

"Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."

Bi
lly's homework assignment is to think of a true story with a moral. The following day, Suzy raises her
hand and says, "My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck and
drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew
out of the basket and onto the road."
The teacher asks for the moral to the story. Suzy replies, "Don't put
all your eggs in one basket." Next is Lucy. "Well, my dad owns a farm too, and every weekend we
take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend only eight of the 12 eggs hatched.
The moral is: Don't count your chicks before they are hatched.''
Billy is last to speak. He says, ''My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam War. His plane was shot down over
enemy territory. He jumped out before it crashed, with only a parachute, a bottle of bourbon,
a machine gun, and a machete. As he floated down, he drank the bottle of bourbon.
Unfortunately, he landed right in the middle of 100 North Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his
machine gun, but ran out of bullets so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more.
The blade broke on his machete, so he killed the last 10 with his bare hands.''
The teacher looks in shock at Billy and asks if there is possibly any moral to his story.
Billy replies, "Don't mess with Uncle Ted when he's been drinking.''

The other day at work I ran into Tom. We chatted over lunch and he dropped a bombshell on me. "Rodney" he said, "Becky and I are going to get a divorce".

I was stunned. "Why? What happened, you two seem so happy together"

"Well" he said, "ever since we got married, my wife has tried to change me. She got me to stop drinking, smoking, running around at all hours of the night and more.

She taught me how to dress well, enjoy the fine arts, gourmet cooking, classical music and how to invest in the stock market."

"Are you a little bitter because she spent so much time trying to change you." I probed.

"Nah, I'm not bitter. Now that I'm so improved, she just isn't good enough for me"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Ever since I was a little kid, I didn't want to be me. I wanted to be like Billy Widdledon, and Billy Widdledon didn't even like me. I walked like he walked; I talked like he talked; and I signed up for the high school he signed up for.

Which was why Billy Widdledon changed. He began to hang around Herby Vandeman; he walked like Herby Vandeman; he talked like Herby Vandeman. He mixed me up! I began to walk and talk like Billy Widdledon, who was walking and talking like Herby Vandeman.

And then it dawned on me that Herby Vandeman walked and talked like Joey Haverlin. And Joey Haverlin walked and talked like Corky Sabinson.

So here I am walking and talking like Billy Widdledon's imitation of Herby Vandeman's version of Joey Haverlin, trying to walk and talk like Corky Sabinson. And who do you think Corky Sabinson is always walking and talking like? Of all people, Dopey Wellington - that little pest who walks and talks like me!

One man tells of sitting next to a "wise" woman on a flight to Florida. He was preparing his notes for one of the parent- education seminars he conducted as an educational psychologist.

Bessie, an older woman sitting next to him, explained that she was returning to Miami after having spent two weeks visiting her six children, 18 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren in Boston.

Then she inquired what he did for a living. The man explained that he was a doctor psychologist specializing in children. He dreaded telling her this, as he fully expected her to question him for free professional advice during the three-hour flight.

Instead, she sat back, picked up a magazine and said, "So doctor, if there's anything you want to know, just ask me."

It was a really nice day, right about dusk, and a Piper Malibu was being vectored into a long line of airliners in order to land at Kansas City.

KC Approach: "Malibu three-two-Charlie, you're following a 727, one o'clock and three miles."

Three-two-Charlie: "We've got him. We'll follow him."

KC Approach: "Delta 105, your traffic to follow is a Malibu, eleven o'clock and three miles. Do you have that traffic?"

Delta 105. Long pause followed by a thick southern drawl, "Well, I've got something down there. Can't quite tell if it's a Malibu or a Chevelle though."

Judge: "Hrmph. I sentence you to 10 years hard labor, starting immediately."

LA loses country station

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 – After 26 years, Los Angeles is without a country music station. KZLA went to a dance format last Thursday with financial reasons cited, according to published reports.

"We understand this is a difficult time for country music fans in Los Angles and Orange County," said Program Director R.J. Curtis on the station's web site.

"KZLA is proud to have served country music fans in LA & Orange County for nearly 26 years," he said.

Fans can listen to country music through internet streaming at the station's web site. An October with Gretchen Wilson, Phil Vassar and SHeDAISY remains on the schedule, although XM Satellite now will sponsor the event.

Los Angeles follows New York and San Francisco as being major cities without country music stations.

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

When did the United States begin requiring government-issued driver licenses?

In a word, or rather a year, 1903. That was when the first states, Missouri and Massachusetts, passed laws requiring all drivers to have a license. Up until then, horseless carriages were thought of as just that -- carriages without horses. There was no licensing requirement to "drive" a horse. Even though Missouri was first to require a driver license, it wasn't until 1952 that the state required a driver examination. Massachusetts required a driver examination for commercial chauffeurs as early as 1907.

The National Conference of State Legislatures asserts that Rhode Island was the first state to require a license, passing the law in 1908.

Prior to 1903, some cities and towns tried licensing requirements. The Voluntaryist states that Chicago passed a law in 1898 requiring the owners of almost anything with wheels, including bicycles and wagons, to be licensed. That law was later ruled unconstitutional.

Regulation was pretty loose in many states through the 1930s and '40s. In Georgia, for example, there was no test; one sent for a license by mail.

South Dakota was the last state to pass a law requiring drivers to be licensed. In 1954, the state required drivers to be licensed, and five years later added an examination.



****A PARTING THOUGHT ****

My wife has 100% confidence in me - it's all negative.



LAST CALL Y'ALL
She went to the airport and sat down, waiting for her flight. She looked over in the
corner and saw one of those weight machines that tells your fortune, so she thought
to herself, "I'll give it a try and see what it tells me."
She went over to the machine, put a nickel in and out came a card that said.
"You're a nun, you weigh 128 pounds and you're going to Chicago." She sat back
down and thought about it. She told herself, it probably tells everyone the same thing, but she decided to try it again.
She went back to the machine and put another nickel in and out came a card. This time the card said,
"You're a nun, you weigh 128 pounds ,you're going to Chicago, you're going to play a fiddle."
The nun said to her self, "I know that' s wrong, I've never played a musical instrument in my life."
She sat back down.
>From nowhere a cowboy came in and set his fiddle case down next to her.
The nun picked up the fiddle and just started playing beautiful music. Startled, she
looked back at the machine and said, "This is incredible, I've got to try this again!"
Back to the machine, put her nickel in and out came the card. It said "You're a nun, you
weigh 128 pounds, you're going to Chicago and you're going to break wind." Now the nun
knows the machine is wrong, "I've never broken wind in my life," Well as she stepped off the
machine she tripped and fell and broke wind. Stunned, she sat back down, looked at the
machine, and said to herself, "This is unbelievable! I've got to try this again."
She went back to the machine, put her nickel in and collected the card. The card said,
"You're a nun, you weigh 128 pounds, you have fiddled and farted around and missed your flight to Chicago."
