THURSDAY JANUARY 24,2008 Since my husband and I were in
a hurry to get to the movies, I quickly An elderly Floridian
called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is
hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: 'They've stolen the
stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator! ' she
cried.
The dispatcher said, 'Stay calm. An officer is on the way.' A few minutes later, the officer radios in. 'Disregard.' He says. 'She got in the back-seat by mistake.' FAMILY
Now
this one is just too Precious
!
DRIVING
I
could have sworn we just went through a red light.' After a few more minutes,
they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went
right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been
red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At
the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through.
So, she turned to the other woman and said, 'Mildred, did you know that we just
ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!'
A Mexican showed up with a tow
truck!! Norm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congratulating a friend after her son and daughter got married within a month of each other, a woman asked. "What kind of boy did your daughter marry?" "Oh he's wonderful," gushed the mother. "He lets her sleep late, wants her to go to the beauty parlor regularly, and insists on taking her out to dinner every night." "That's nice," said the woman. "What about your son?" "I'm not so happy about that," the mother sighed. "His wife sleeps late, spends all her time in the beauty parlor, and makes them eat take-out meals!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A businessman who bought a pager for each member of his staff as a New Year gift was so alarmed when all 50 of them went off at the same time that he drove his car into a lamp post. The unnamed businessman was returning from the pager shop when the accident happened. With no more than a quarter mile to go to the office, the 50 pagers on the back seat suddenly burst out screeching. The businessman's fright was such that he simply let go of the steering wheel and the car ploughed into a lamp post. After he had assessed the damage to the car, the businessman turned his attention to the message on the 50 pagers. It read: "Congratulations on a successful purchase!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A friend and his wife were considering traveling to Alaska for a trip that the husband had long dreamed of taking. He kept talking about how great it would be to stay in a log cabin without electricity, to hunt moose, and drive a dog team instead of a car. "If we decided to live there permanently, away from civil- ization, what would you miss the most?" he asked his wife. She replied, "You." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sign on a delicatessen: "If you feel like a coward, drop in and we'll make you a hero." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Determined to have one last, lazy day of fishing before summer's end, I purposely ignored the leaky faucet and the broken gate--household projects that had awaited me all summer. When my wife asked, "What are you going to do today?" I grinned and answered, "It starts with F and ends with ISH." "Oh, good," she replied. "You're finally going to FinISH up those projects." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To celebrate my retirement, my wife and I dined with a friend we hadn't seen in years. The next day, he sent an email that included an honest mistake... I hope: "How wonderful it was to see you both aging." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With me mistakes are always typos, even when the key's on the other side of the keyboard ************************************************************ **** ON THIS DAY **** Today's Links:

Paisley took over the top spot from long-running number one, Taylor Swift, whose "Our Song" was there for six consecutive weeks. The charts officially are released Thursday. In the song, Paisley takes a look back in time and gives his 17 year old self advice on what really is important in life. This Saturday, Jan. 26, Paisley
takes the stage of PBS's Austin City Limits for his third appearance, showcasing
his hits and guitar expertise.
"I learned so
much about guitar by watching Austin City Limits. You don't see musical
creativity on award shows or variety shows or especially now reality shows. They
restrict you too much. But Austin City Limits is up to the artist. I loved
performances by Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, The Desert Rose Band, Steve
Wariner, Thom Bresch, Chet, ...I guess all the guitar greats. It's the perfect
venue for a player to stretch out," said Paisley.

feels good to be going into 2008 with all that momentum behind a new single and
a new tour."

Leaving" showcases the consistent strength and continued growth of the country
music star's voice, along with his innate ability to deliver authentic emotion
in every performance.
"There is a real sense of urgency and emotion in the story of this song,"

was the strongest instrument in the room that day, and I'm really proud of this
recording."
Bentley's "Throttle Wide Open" tour will kick off Feb. 14 in Gainesville,
Fla. with openers Bucky Covington and Luke Bryan joining the high-octane dates
through the Spring.

Armed with an acoustic guitar, Brooks will perform many of the duo’s well-known songs and meet with the troops to offer appreciation for their efforts. Brooks is making the trip as part of a USO/MNC-I entertainment tour. “Ronnie and I have always been proud to offer whatever support we can to our service men and women,” said Kix Brooks. “During our performances here at home, we like to invite local members of the military, one from each branch, to join us on stage. It’s very moving for us and a way to thank them for what they do to keep our country free. Our audience always considers it a great moment in the show. “As host of American Country Countdown, I now have this unique opportunity to visit with our active troops in the Persian Gulf Region and with the help of the American Forces Radio Network, broadcast this experience around the world,” said Brooks. “It’s a trip I’m honored to be able to make and I’m truly looking forward to offering gratitude to these brave men and women in person.” Brooks’ conversations with armed forces personnel and experiences in the Persian Gulf will be broadcast on an upcoming American Country Countdown program dedicated to the American troops serving in the Middle East and will be carried across ABC Radio Networks affiliate stations. Neal McCoy to Headline in the Persian Gulf His 13th USO Tour Twice voted “Entertainer of the Year” by his fans, Neal McCoy will soon trek to the Persian Gulf as part of a USO/MNC-I expeditionary entertainment tour. Visiting troops on what will be his 13th USO tour, McCoy and his band will perform a collection of the troops’ favorite Neal McCoy hits. He will also dine with service members, pose for photographs, stop at command posts and sign autographs.
The son of an Irish American father who served in the U.S. Army and a Filipino mother, McCoy is a devoted supporter of the USO and America’s armed forces. Committed to lending his support, he has worked with the USO for almost a decade and entertained millions of troops both stateside and abroad. In May of 2005, McCoy won the Academy of Country Music’s Home Depot Humanitarian Award for his on-going efforts in support of U.S. troops and the East Texas Angels Network, an organization he and his wife founded that raises money to support families of children with terminal or life-threatening diseases.
“What I enjoy most is visiting and performing for our troops,” says McCoy. “I try to make my music a diversion for them, a place where they can escape, envision their families and visit their friends back home. I’ll forever be indebted to the USO for affording me that opportunity.”
Since 1941, the USO has brought top-quality entertainment to millions of U.S. military service members and their families. To date, hundreds of celebrities have donated their time and talents to help the USO boost troop morale and bring a touch of home to the men and women serving our country.
