WEDNESDAY AUGUST 30,2006


THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.


 
Benny is nearly 80 years old and goes to his doctor for his yearly
medical checkup. His wife Becky comes along with him. As soon as they
enter the doctor's office, the doctor says to Benny, "I need a urine
sample and a stool sample." Benny's hearing was not as good as it used
to be, so he looks at Becky and shouts, "What did the doctor say he
wanted?" Becky shouts back, "He wants your underwear."

"What kind of job do you do?" a lady passenger asked the man traveling
in her compartment. "I'm a naval surgeon," he replied. "Goodness!" said
the lady, "How you doctors specialize these days."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"David Hasselhoff was arrested for driving under the  
influence. Cops thought Hasselhoff could be under the  
influence when they noticed his talking car was slurring  
its words." --Conan O'Brien
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now they're saying all this terrorist activity could lead  
to higher oil prices. When asked why, the oil companies  
said, 'Cause everything leads to higher oil prices.' In  
fact, the price of crude oil could hit $80 a barrel. That's  
not crude -- that's obscene." --Jay Leno
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On my first day working at the gas station, I watched a  
senior co-worker measure the level of gasoline in the under-  
ground tanks by lowering a giant measuring stick down into  
them.  

"What would happen if I threw a lit match into the hole?"  
I joked.  

"It would go out," he replied very matter-of-factly.  

"Really?" I asked, surprised to hear that. "Is there a  
lack of oxygen down there or some safety device that would  
extinguish it before the fumes ignited?"  

"No," my co-worker continued. "The force from the explosion  
would blow out the match."   
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were discussing the "don'ts" of public speaking in the PR  
class I teach. "Don'ts" include a man reaching into his  
pants pocket and jangling change as he speaks, which is very  
distracting. To illustrate my point, I asked for a student  
volunteer, saying, "I need a man with coins in his pocket."  

What I got instead was a girl yelling out, "Honey, so do I!"   
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little old man starts having trouble hearing and goes to the
doctor.....says, "Doc, I'm having problems hearing!" The Doctor says
"Lets check this out." He looks into the man's ear with his flash light
and says, "There's a foreign object in here." Takes his tweezers and
pulls it out.......Doc says to the old man, "It's a suppository!!" The
old man takes a look, asks the Doc, "Can I use your phone? Need to tell
the wife that I know where I put that hearing aid!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth recently, John Howard turned to the Queen and said:
"As I'm the Prime Minister of Australia, I'm thinking of changing how my great country
is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom." The Queen replied,
"I'm sorry Mr. Howard, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in charge -
and you're not a King." John Howard thought a while and then said:
"How about a Principality then?" To which the Queen replied, "Again, to be a Principality you have
to be a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr. Howard." Howard thought long and hard and came up with
"How about an Empire then?" The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied :
"Sorry again, Mr. Howard, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge and
you are not an Emperor." Before Howard could utter another word, The Queen said:
"I think you're doing quite nicely as a Country." 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A very zealous soul-winning young preacher recently came upon a farmer working in his field.
Being concerned about the farmer's soul the preacher asked the man,
"Are you laboring in the vineyard of the Lord, my good man?" Not even looking at the preacher and
continuing his work, the farmer replied, "Naw, these here are soybeans."
"You don't understand," said the preacher. "Are you a Christian?" With the same amount of interest
as his previous answer the farmer said, "Nope my name is Jones.
You must be lookin for Jim Christian. He lives a mile south of here." The young determined preacher
tried again asking the farmer, "Are you lost?" "Naw!
I've lived here all my life," answered the farmer.
"Are you prepared for the resurrection?" the frustrated preacher asked. This caught the
farmer's attention and he asked, "When's it gonna be?" Thinking he had accomplished
something the young preacher replied, "It could be today, tomorrow, or the next day."
Taking a handkerchief from his back pocket and wiping his brow, the farmer remarked,
"Well, don't mention it to my wife. She don't get out much and she'll wanna go all three days."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The resident began his examination of an elderly man by
asking him what brought him to the hospital.
The man replied, "An ambulance."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shortly after the 911 emergency number became available, an elderly and
quite ill lady appeared in a Rochester hospital emergency room, having
driven herself to the hospital and barely managing to stagger in from
the parking lot. The horrified nurse said, "Why didn't you call the 911
number and get an ambulance?" The lady said, "My phone doesn't have an
eleven."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How did it happen?" the doctor asked the middle-aged farmhand as he set
the man's broken leg. "Well, doc, 25 years ago..." "Never mind the past.
Tell me how you broke your leg this morning." "Like I was saying... 25
years ago, when I first started working on the farm, that night, right
after I'd gone to bed, the farmer's beautiful daughter came into my
room. She asked me if there was anything I wanted. I said no, everything
is fine. 'Are you sure?' she asked. 'I'm sure,' I said. 'Isn't there
anything I can do for you?' she wanted to know. 'I reckon not' I
replied. "Excuse me," said the doctor, "What does this story have to do
with your leg?" "Well, this morning," the farmhand explained, "when it
dawned on me what she meant, I fell off the roof!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trucker Bob took a day off work and went into town to get his CDL
driver's license renewed at the local Motor Vehicle Bureau, and as
usual, the place was jam packed.

The line inched along for almost two hours until he finally was able to
get to the front & get everything taken care of, ending with having his
picture taken, in order to get the license.

Before leaving the window tho, he decides to inspect his photo for a
moment and comments to the clerk,

"Ya know, I was standing in this freakin' line so long, I ended up
looking pretty grouchy in this picture."

The clerk looked at his picture closely, and reassured him, "Oh, it's
okay, Bob. You know that's exactly how you're going to look when the
cops pull you over anyway."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three construction contractors died and went to heaven - a Black, a Jew, and
an Italian. When they got there St. Peter welcomed them warmly and asked if
they could do him a favor before they entered heaven. It seems that the
Pearly gates were in need of some repair, and he wanted some estimates.

The Black contractor looked the job over carefully and estimated the job at
$600. When asked how he came up with that figure, he said, "$200 materials,
$200 labor, and $200 profit."

St. Peter then asked the Jewish contractor for an estimate. After careful
inspection the Jew answered, "$3000 - $1000 materials, $1000 labor, and
$1000 profit."

When St. Peter ask the Italian for an estimate, he answered immediately
without looking over the job at all - $2600. Asked how he came up with that
figure he answered, "Simple, $1000 for you, $1000 for me, and $600 to get
the low bidder over there to do the work."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What email has done for me

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the email about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore , and Uzbekistan .

I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 I dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

Oh, and don't forget this one either!

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

One day
man decides to go hiing in Yellowstone National Park, he makes 4
mistakes that you should never make while hiking in a National Park like

Yellowstone. First he goes hiking alone. Never hike in the back-country
alone. Always go with at least one other person or a group of people,
that way there's somebody to talk to and who can run for help if there
is an emergency. Second, beforehe left on his hike he slapped on his
after-shave. Never wear after-shave or perfume when hiking in the
back-country, it's been known to attract the wild animals the bears and
such. So there he is hiking alone and reaking of after-shave. His third
mistake was that as he hiked he was being vey quiet, he didn't want to
disturb the little animals, chipmunks and rabbits. Always make noise
when hiking in a Natonal Park, it lets the bigger animals know your
there and they don't want to meet you anymor then you want to meet them.

Talk to you friends, sing songs or wear a bear bell. So there he is
hiking alone, raking of aftershave and being very quiet. He rounds a
bend in the trail an comes face toface with a huge Grizzly Bear that
didn't hear him coming, but smelled him. Here he makes his fourth and
final mistake by turning arond on the trail and running away. By doing
this he shows the bear that he's afraid and possible prey so the bear
starts chasing him. Everybody knows that a Grizzly Bear can run as fast
as a race horse for short distances so his chances of out running him
are about zero to none. So our hiker is running and running and the bear
is chasing close behind. Finally the man is totally exhausted and can't
go another step. He drops to his knees in the middle of the trail puts
his hands together and he starts praying. He prays for his mother, his
father, his LIFE! Pretty soon he hears a growling noise next to him, he
looks over and there's the bear, it's down on it's knees, it has it;s
paws put together and it's praying also. He looks at the bear and the
bear looks at him and the bear says, "I don't know about you, but I'm
saying grace."

B vitamins do not lower heart attack risk  

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, -- Norwegian researchers have found  
treating heart attack patients with high doses of B vita-  
mins does not lower the risk of another heart attack or  
stroke. The data were presented this week during the  
European Society of Cardiology Congress in Stockholm,  
Sweden. NORVIT, the Norwegian Vitamin Trial, is the first  
to examine whether high doses of B vitamins prevent recur-  
rent heart disease. The lead investigator, Dr. Kaare  
Harald B?naa of the University of Troms?, said the study  
indicates B vitamins should be prescribed only to patients  
who have B vitamin deficiency diseases. He said during the  
last 15 years interest in vitamin B research has rocketed  
worldwide after studies indicated folic acid and vitamin  
B-6 might prevent heart disease and stroke. Scientists  
said one patient in every three who suffers a heart attack  
has a recurrent heart attack or stroke within three years  
after the first attack. It was hoped B vitamins could lower  
the risk of recurrence. The NORVIT trial showed, however,  
B vitamins offered no protection against cardiovascular  
disease.   

Placebo effect not purely psychological  

ANN ARBOR, Mich., -- A University of Michigan study sug-  
gests just believing a medicine will relieve pain is  
enough to prompt one's brain to release its own natural  
painkillers. The researchers -- led by Dr. Jon-Kar Zubieta,  
an associate professor of psychiatry and radiology -- said  
their study provides the first direct evidence the brain's  
own pain-fighting chemicals, called endorphins, play a  
role in the phenomenon known as the placebo effect, result-  
ing in a reduction in feelings of pain. Previous studies  
showed the brain reacts physically when a person is given  
a sham pain treatment expected to help. But Zubieta said  
the most recent study is the first to pinpoint a specific  
brain chemistry mechanism for a pain-related placebo  
effect. He said the results might result in better use of  
psychological therapy for people suffering chronic pain.  
The results are published in the Aug. 24 issue of the  
Journal of Neuroscience by a team from the the university's  
Molecular and Behavioral Neurosciences Institute.   

UK poll says middle age now starts at 49  

LONDON, -- A British poll on age-related issues has found  
most people have moved back the "official" beginning of  
middle age from 40 to 49, the Daily Mail reports. However,  
the University of Kent study found no change in attitudes  
about old age -- the vast majority claimed it begins at  
age 65. A curious divide became apparent when it came to  
the workplace, with about 70 percent of respondents saying  
they were comfortable having a qualified boss over the age  
 of 70, but 47 percent believed their employers disliked  
having older people working for them. The survey also re-  
vealed a lot of segregation between age groups. A total of  
47 percent of people over 70 said they had no friends under  
the age of 30, while about half of people under 30 had no  
friends who were over 70. The survey's methodology was not  
reported.

Alabama records new disc

Monday, August 28, 2006 – Alabama may off the road, but they're not done recording. The band is releasing "Alabama – Songs of Inspiration, an album of traditional hymns, standards and two new songs Oct. 24 by RCA.

“We first started thinking about this in 1990,” said Alabama frontman Randy Owen, “and it seems like fans have been asking for it longer than that! The timing just happened to finally work out to record the album now.”

The music is the band’s first new album in over five years, the first since the band’s farewell tour wrapped up three years ago, and first album with inspirational content in the group’s history. Included are classics like “Rock of Ages,” “How Great Thou Art,” “The Old Rugged Cross” and “Amazing Grace."

Picking the songs was the most challenging aspect of putting together the album, according to Owen. “I initially looked for songs at my mother’s house. I looked through her notebooks and found so many songs and old song books. We also did a survey with the fan club to get ideas from them on songs they’d like us to do.”

“These are songs that we grew up listening to as little kids. They’ve been ‘hits’ for hundreds of years, and our hope was to just carry them along in the same tradition. They’ll be around long after we’re gone, and I hope what we did with these songs will fit in somewhere in a good spot in history.”

Two original songs, “One Big Heaven” and “Rain” – both written by Owen – were recorded for the album. Dr. Ralph Stanley contributes vocals on “I Am The Man Thomas.” Stanley co-wrote the song, which also features Stanley’s grandson on mandolin. Gospel standouts The Isaacs provide vocals on “I Need Thee.” Three granddaughters of Alabama’s Teddy Gentry sang on “Jesus Loves Me” and the Christmas classic “Silent Night” was also recorded for the album. “We recorded two Christmas albums, but we never cut that song. It fit the project, and it’s beautiful!”

“Recording this album has been an emotional journey, and it’s one I’m proud we took. I hope people feel like they’re going to church when they listen to these songs. Music is a great healer and a great comfort, and I think that’s what these songs are. This music is for the folks - this is for all God’s people.”



  Ingram records with Willie
Monday, August 28, 2006 – It's been a great 2006 for Jack Ingram as he scored his first number one hit with "Whereever You Are" and has a second single climbing the charts with "Love You."

Ingram also recorded a song with Willie Nelson. The two joined for a duet on the upcoming Cracker Barrel exclusive album, "Songs of the Year," out Oct. 3. They collaborated on the Roger Miller classic “Dang Me.”



Dulcimer Master David Schnaufer Dies  


David Schnaufer, a longtime leader in playing and teaching  
the dulcimer, died of cancer on Wednesday in Nashville at  
age 53. Credited with bringing the Appalachian instrument  
into contemporary music, his recording sessions included  
work with a wide variety of artists, such as Chet Atkins,  
Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, the Judds, Mark Knopfler,  
Cyndi Lauper, Albert Lee, Mark O'Connor and Hank Williams  
Jr. His credits also include a symphony he wrote and  
performed with the Columbus, Ga., symphony. A native of  
Texas, Schnaufer began teaching the traditional stringed  
instrument at Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music in 1995  
and was considered to be the leading authority on the  
dulcimer. He was also a member of the Cactus Brothers, a  
Nashville-based band that released two albums on the  
Capitol and Liberty labels during the mid '90s.

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

Do "beer goggles" really exist?

For those of you unfamiliar with the party scene, "beer goggles" refers to how people often appear more attractive to you after you've had a few drinks. For a long time, it was just a convenient excuse a person used to explain "regrettable amorous encounters." However, according to a study at the Universities of Glasgow and St. Andrews, beer goggles (or "brew gogs" as they're known in certain fraternal circles) are very real.

It's no secret that excessive drinking leads to poor judgment behind the wheel. Well, it can also lead to poor judgment at your local pub. According to the aforementioned study, what constitutes "attractive" changes drastically after a few drinks. In other words, while you may think you're hitting on a 10, there's a chance you're actually picking up someone in the lower- single digits.

The reasons behind this phenomenon have to do with alcohol stimulating the nucleus accumbens, aka "the part of the brain which is used to determine facial attractiveness." In the 2002 study, male and female students were shown pictures of members of the opposite sex and asked to rate them on a scale of 1-7 (sounds cruel, we know). The more students drank, the higher they rated the photographs.

We hope this sobering study helps encourage more responsible drinking. Remember -- if you're looking for love and don't want to wake up disappointed, you're better off at an ice-cream social than a keg-stand contest.
