****JOKE TIME****



Life and a can of beer.
 
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the beer.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favourite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers." ...........................................GOOFPROOF

"Did you know New York City has the oldest bartender? He's  
90 years old and still doing it. He's so old he knows Rob  
Roy." --Dave Letterman  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Vice President Dick Cheney is donating $2 million to the  
cardiovascular center that treats him. Actually for him it's  
more of an advance." --Conan O'Brien  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Today President Bush said the United States is still under  
the threat of attack. Then he went back on vacation. I don't  
think President Bush really understands the severity of this  
situation. Like when they first told Bush about the terrorist  
plot against the airlines, he said, 'Let me guess, snakes on  
a plane?'" --Jay Leno  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Michaels family owned a small farm in Canada, just yards  
away from the North Dakota border. Their land had been the  
subject of a minor dispute between the United States and  
Canada for generations. Mrs. Michaels, who had just cele-  
brated her ninetieth birthday, lived on the farm with her  
son and three grandchildren.  

One day, her son came into her room holding a letter. "I just  
got some news, Mom," he said. "The government has come to an  
agreement with the people in Washington. They've decided that  
our land is really part of the United States. We have the  
right to approve or disapprove of the agreement. What do you  
think?"  

"What do I think?" his mother said. "Jump at it! Call them  
right now and tell them we accept! I don't think I could  
stand another one of them Canadian winters!"  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept  
refusing, but he bought one anyway. "I'll tell you what,"  
he told her. "In the spirit of compromise, why don't you  
name the boat?"  

Being a good sport, she accepted. When her husband went to  
the dock for his maiden voyage, this is the name he saw  
painted on the side: "For Sale." 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although I'm not a nervous passenger as a rule, I once became very frightened on a small commuter plane. There was a storm raging, with torrential rain and gale-force winds. Additionally, our first takeoff attempt was aborted at the last moment due to an overheated engine. We taxied back to the hangar, changed planes and then had to sit on the runway waiting for a new opportunity to take off. We were all getting anxious. I remember learning in a psychology class that one method strangers will use to decrease anxiety is to engage in conversation. So I turned to the man sitting next to me and asked, "What do you do for a living?"

"I'm an undertaker," he replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paddy was an inveterate drunkard. The priest met him one day, and gave him a strong lecture about drink.

He said, "If you continue drinking as you do, you'll gradually get smaller and smaller, and eventually you'll turn into a mouse."

This frightened the life out of Paddy. He went home that night, and said to his wife, "Bridget....if you should notice me getting smaller and smaller, will ye kill that blasted cat?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My brother's twin daughters, Betty and Cassie returned home from a shopping trip with their mom wearing new shoes. My brother and I decided to go down to the river to fish, and the girls said they'd like to come, too. "Okay, but change your shoes," their mom said.

While we were walking through mud down on the riverbank, Cassie exclaimed: "Betty! Mom's going to be mad! She told you to change shoes!"

"I did," Betty said. "These are yours."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On every tube of Preparation-H is a warning that says, "Do not take this product orally." Man, that's really sad! Can you imagine the letter that someone wrote the company? "I ate this whole tube of your product and I still have those darned hemorrhoids. And man, my mouth is so small that I can't even eat a jellybean. But I can whistle real good."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mind was wandering while my friend Jose and I were fishing out on the lake. "If water is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen," I mused, "then why doesn't it burn?"

"It's much too wet!" was Jose's reply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Newly married, my bride and I were in separate rooms doing household chores. Needing some assistance, I asked my wife to help. She was obviously feeling a tad pressured by her new responsibilities because she replied: "I can't do everything -- I'm not a mom yet!"

**** HEALTH NEWS ****
    
Health officials want more PE in schools  

WASHINGTON,  -- The American Heart Association says U.S.  
schools are failing to provide enough exercise for school-  
age children who are growing fatter each year. The 2006  
Shape of the Nation report, a joint effort between the  
conducted by the American Heart Association and the  
National Association for Sport and Physical Education,  
says most states are failing to provide students with  
adequate physical education requirements, CNN reported.  
The report, released in May, said nearly a third of all  
states do not mandate physical education for elementary  
and middle school students. Twelve states allow students  
to earn required physical education credits through online  
physical education courses. CNN said some critics contend  
that the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 may be uninten-  
tionally forcing schools to cut time and resources for  
exercise as educators focus more on test scores and  
rigorous academics.   

City living keeping obesity in check  

TORONTO, -- A new study says Canadians who live in big  
cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver tend to weigh  
less than their rural counterparts. The report, "Regional  
differences in obesity," is based on actual measurements  
of height and weight from the 2004 Canadian Community  
Health Survey. The study, published in the latest issue  
of Health Reports, examined obesity and overweight indivi-  
duals inside and outside census metropolitan areas. In 2004,  
 20 percent of Canadians living in urban areas were obese,  
compared to 29 percent of those who lived outside a metro-  
politan area. The larger the city, the smaller the likeli-  
hood of being obese. In Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver,  
only 17 percent of adults were obese, the study found.   
   
Heart healthy care benefits oral health  

CLEVELAND,  -- Case Werstern Reserve University researchers  
in Cleveland say "heart healthy habits" are also good for  
maintaining one's oral health. The researchers examined  
data from 12,110 individuals who participated in the third  
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They  
found individuals who exercised, had healthy eating habits  
and maintained a normal weight were 40 percent less likely  
to develop periodontitis -- a gum infection that can result  
in loss of teeth. Before the study and aside from brushing  
and flossing, healthy behaviors contributing to the preven-  
tion of periodontitis were unknown, the scientists said.  
Mohammad Al-Zahrani conducted the study for his doctoral  
dissertation work in epidemiology at Case, in collaboration  
with Elaine Borawskiof the school's department of epidemi-  
ology and Nabil Bissada, chairman of the department of  
periodontics at the Case School of Dental Medicine. The  
study appears in the Journal of Periodontology, the  
official publication of the American Academy of Periodon-  
tology.

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

What's the most popular tattoo? And what's the most popular tattoo location?

Sources differ about the most popular tattoos. About.com page mentions dragons as the top choice, followed by butterflies. A 2001 article about tattoos in Asiaweek says, in Shanghai, "Dragons are by far the most requested..."

Checking search queries was our another approach. Vanishingtattoo.com claims the butterfly is "far and away the most popular
tattoo design request" (mostly by women), followed by "tribal": designs worn by indigenous cultures.

Newsgroups list tribal at number one, dragon and butterfly at two and three. Over at the Lycos 50, tribal designs again finish first, followed by tinkerbell (don't ask us), angels, and then butterflies. But, hold that needle a sec. The following top five tattoo design searches on google are:

* tribal

* cross

* star

* butterfly

* fairy

So to summarize: Looks like tribal tattoos are definitely number one. But "tribal" encompasses many different designs, so we'll have to go with either the butterfly, cross, or dragon, depending on region. And the most popular tattoo location? Several sources say the arm and lower back.
