"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."

These  are clean jokes. However,
They are,
PG - Not intended for  younger readers - PG


I always know God won't give me more than I can handle,
but there are times I wish He didn't trust me quite so much.


God, grant me the Senility to forget the people
I never liked ,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference.


Today's country music video for:

Tuesday May 6,2008

Thought For Today:I've tried to find a suitable exercise
video for people my age, but they haven't made one yet called "Abs of Putty."


One night, we were having dinner at a nice restaurant. Everybody had ordered, received their meals and enjoyed every bite. When we were finished, the waitress came over with the bill, set it in front of my husband, then asked me, "How did you find your steak?" Before I could answer, my five-year-old daughter Kathie replied, "Oh! It was easy. She just moved her potato over, and there it was on the plate!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
George Jones has carried many a burden, but his two primary sufferings are 1) Ex-wife/duet partner, the late Tammy Wynette; and 2) alcohol. Here's a story with a little of both... "In the early '70s, Wynette, frustrated with Jones' booze binges, hid the keys to his 27 cars in an effort to curb the Possum's liquor-store visits.

"Facing a hooch crisis, 'No Show' Jones became 'Can-Do' Jones, firing up his lawnmower and racing toward town at five miles an hour."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My husband and I were on a flight to San Diego, he on business, me
to continue on to El Paso. As the plane arrived in San Diego, he
collected his things, kissed me goodbye and left with the other
departing passengers.
"That's sweet," said the woman sitting next to us. "I always just drop
my husband at the curb."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 The map her friend had drawn indicated that the client a country
vet was to see lived in the second farm past Yin road.  Try as she
might, the vet could not find a Yin Road anywhere!  Exasperated,
she finally stopped to ask directions.
She stopped and asked at the next farm.  "I ain't never heard of
no Yin Road." said the farmer.  "But ya might try askin' old man
McGillicuddy, he's lived 'round here for better 'n 70 years."
"Thanks," replied the vet.  "Where can I find him?"
"He lives on the second farm past the Y in the road."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 A customer in a bakery was observed carefully examining all the rich-looking
pastries displayed on trays in the glass cases.
When a clerk approached her and asked, "What would you like?"
The woman answered, "I'd like that chocolate-covered, cream- filled doughnut,
that jelly-filled doughnut and that cheese Danish."
Then with a sigh she added, "But I'll take an oat-bran muffin."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical
need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some
kind of recreational activity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 My brother dropped off his wife at the hairstylist and she was supposed to
call me when she was ready to be picked up. She must have dialed a wrong
number, she reported later.
She called, and a man said "Hello," to which she cheerfully said, "Come and
get me!"
The man said, "Are you sure? This is Mitchell's funeral home."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the local gas utility written orders are issued to change
meters when they are old or malfunctioning.
On the order sheet is a "remarks" section, where the service
representative notes any problems that prevented the job from
being completed.
The most succinct explanation to ever come back was this:
"Dog does not want meter to be changed."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A crew of highway maintenance workers was sent to repair some road
signs that vandals had knocked down in a forested area. The first one
they put back up was a symbol warning of a deer crossing.
As they moved down the road to repair the next sign, one crew member
looked back and spotted a deer running across the highway.
Turning to a co-worker he said, "I wonder how long he's been waiting
to cross?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 One of the local television stations in South Louisiana
Aired an interview with a woman from New Orleans.
The interviewee was asked if the complete devastation of the
Churches in the area had affected their lives.
Without hesitation, the woman replied, 'I don't know about all
Those other peoples, but we haven't gone to Churches in years.
We gets our chicken from Popeye's.'
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Traveling through New England, a motorist stopped for gas in a tiny village.
"What's this place called?" he asked the station attendant.
"All depends," the native drawled. "Do you mean by them that has to live
in this ugly, moth-eaten, dust-covered dump, or by them that's merely
enjoying its quaint and picturesque rustic charms for a short spell."

**** Today's Useless Fact ****

That'sreally smart.Tell'em where it's at
The United States government keeps its supply of silver at  
the US Military Academy at West Point, NY. Erected in 1937  
as the West Point Bullion Depository, this was originally a  
storage facility for silver bullion and was nicknamed "The  
Fort Knox of Silver."
