The Almost Daily Funnies

 SATURDAY APRIL 9,2005

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that
I take her out to some place expensive.......
So I took her to a gas station!!!!!!
!

It's a rare executive who is so tired that he can
hardly lift his feet to the top of the desk. 


 A blonde, a redhead and a brunette are having a holiday at the North
Pole. The blonde's weight is 110 pounds, the red's is 130 pounds, the
brunette's is 150 pounds. One day, the three of them are having a trip
on a sleigh.
      Suddenly, they see a polar bear behind them. Quickly, they throw
out all the luggage behind them, but this doesn't help.  The bear comes
closer. They realize that one of the three will have to sacrifice
herself so that the 2 others will be able to escape. "You should do it,"
the blonde says to the brunette. "The bear will need more time to eat
you then to eat me or the redhead."
      "I guess you're right," the brunette says. She jumps out of the
sleigh and gets killed by the bear.
      "Thank God for my brains," the blonde says, but the bear reopens
the chase.
      "Now it's your time, red," the blonde says. "Your weight is bigger
than mine."
      "I guess you're right," the red says and she also jumps out and
gets killed. "Thank God for my brains," the blonde says.
      The bear still won't stop hunting the sleigh. The blonde really
gets mad and she cries out, "You stupid animal!!  Just wait a minute!!
I'll take my gun and I'll blow you to pieces!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I still have a lot of trouble with wrong numbers.
Yesterday I dialed the Red Cross and got the Internal
Revenue Service in error. So the I.R.S. operator asked
me what number I had dialed. I said, "The Red Cross,
you know, where they take the blood."

She said, "Well, you aren't too far off, are you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isn't it amazing that people moan about ATM fees more
than the government taking 40 cents out of every
dollar we earn?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My husband and I have started counselling to enhance
our relationship. I suggested he read a book that
might help us.
It's titled: 'Women are Always Right, Men areAlways Wrong.'"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Woman phones up her husband at work for a chat.

Husband: "I'm sorry dear, but I'm up to my neck in work today."

Wife: "But I've got some good news and some bad news for you, dear."

Husband: "Okay, darling, but as I've got very little time now, so just
give me the good news."

Wife: "Well, the air bag works."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He looked deep into the eyes of the woman he loved and
said, "My heart is broken.  I saw you with another man
yesterday."

"Oh don't be silly!" she replied, "That was just my
husband, you know there's no one but you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A woman was sick of her husband's drinking, so she decided to teach him
a lesson. She dressed up like Satan, and when her husband returned home
from another bender, she jumped out from behind the sofa and screamed.

"You don't scare me," the man said, looking her over calmly.
"I married your sister."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For years my husband denied he was an aggresive driver. That changed one
day when we were out for a drive with our three-year old son, Matthew.

Seeing a teaching opportunity, I asked Matthew about traffic lights.

"What does a red light mean?" I asked.

"Stop."

"Good. How about green?"

"Go."

"And yellow?" I conintued.

In his best deep-voice impression of Daddy, Matthew bellowed. . . .

"Hang on!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill:  I finally quit smoking by using the patch.

Doug:  Oh yeah??  I tried that but it didn't work for
me.

Bill:  Well the trick is that you gotta put them OVER
your mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man was going out of town and needed to board his horse for a couple
of months. He asked a local farmer about it and was told, "Sure, but I
charge $50 per week, and I keep the manure."

      The fellow can't afford that, so the farmer referred him to ol'
Jones, down the road. When approached with the request, Jones said,
"Yup, I can do it for $40 a week, and I keep the manure."

      This is still too much, and Jones suggested that he try Mr. Brown.
When our desperate friend asked Mr. Brown, he is surprised to hear,
"Sure, Sonny. I'll be glad to for $5 a month."

      With delight, the young man exclaimed, "WOW! I suppose for that
price you'll want to keep the manure."

      The old man looked at him with kind of a squint, and replied,
"Feller, for $5 a month, there ain't gonna be none!"

Nadine confided to Jill, "My cooking left my husband
cold."

"He divorced you because of your cooking?"  Jill
asked.

"No," Nadine replied, "he died."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nadine:  I've discovered the origin of the word
"good-bye."

Jill:  Oh, yeah?  What is it?

Nadine:  Many years ago, some husband said to his
wife, "I'm leaving you!"  The wife said, "Good!  Bye!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sadie was divorcing her husband Moshe. After two months
of waiting, her case was finally being heard in Court.
The judge asked Sadie, "So how old are you?"
"I'm 45 years old, your Honor."
The judge replied, "Please answer my question honestly.
How old are you?"
"I'm 45 years old, your Honor," answered Sadie again.
"Well," said the judge, "you're not being truthful. It's
written down here that you were born in August 1940 and
that means you're almost 65."
"But your Honor," replied Sadie, "I'm not counting the
last 20 years with my husband."
"Why not?" asked the judge.
"You call that living?" replied Sadie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A husband visited a marriage counselor and said, "When we
were first married, I would come home from the office, my
wife would bring my slippers and our cute little dog would
run around barking. Now after ten years it's all different.
I come home, the dog brings the slippers and my wife runs around
barking."

"Why complain?" said the counselor, "You're still getting
the same service."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

George goes to the Birth Registration Office to register his
newborn son.

The man behind the counter asks the name he wants to give to the
boy, and the father replies "Euro."

The man says that such a name is not acceptable, because it's
a currency.

Says George: "What? There weren't any objections when I called my
first two sons Mark and Frank!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Waiter (calling after departing diner) Hey! What about a tip?

that stand of trees. I want you to go in there and flush them out.

Private: Okay, sir, but if you see a bunch of guys running out
of the woods, don't shoot the one in front!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watching TV news shows I found out our highways
aren't safe, our schools aren't safe, our parks aren't safe
but under our arms we have complete protection.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some words we might be in need of.

SITCOMs: (Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive
Mortgage) What yuppies turn into when they have
children and one of them stops working to stay home
with the kids.

STARTER MARRIAGE: A short-lived first marriage that
ends in divorce with no kids, no property and no
regrets.

SWIPED OUT: An ATM or credit card that has been
rendered useless because the magnetic strip is worn
away from extensive use.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As my five-year-old son and I were headed to
McDonald's one day, we passed a car accident.  Usually
when we see something terrible like that, we say a
prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed and
said to my son, "We should pray."

From the back seat I heard his earnest request:
"Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance
to McDonald's."

In Charlottesburg, Va., Raymond Caldwell walked into a jewelry store on

wedding bands into his pocket and ran from the store. He then went home,
gave the rings to his girlfriend and proposed to her. When she found the
rings didn't fit, Caldwell told her to take them back to the store to
have them sized. She did, and after the clerk recognized the rings,
police were called.

**** Visiting Doc Taz M.D.  D.V.M. ****

Roommate: Oh yeah? How nice is he?

UNC Student: Well, for starters, when he treated me for double
pneumonia, he only billed me for one pnuemonia!


**** ON THIS DAY ****
Remember That Obstacles Can Be Opportunities!

We know that all things work together for good for those who love
God,
who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

     In ancient times a king secretly had a boulder placed on a main
roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would
remove the huge rock. Some of the King's wealthy merchants and
courtiers came by and simply went around it. Many loudly blamed the
king for not keeping the roads clear, but no one of them did
anything about getting the big stone out of the way.
     Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon
approaching the boulder, he laid down his burden and tried to move
the stone to the side of the road. Being unsuccessful, he waited
till another peasant came along, carrying a load of firewood on his
donkey. He stopped him, and together - after much pushing and
pulling - they succeeded in moving the big rock off the road. Then
the second peasant moved on with his donkey.
     As the first peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he
noticed a purse lying on the road where the boulder had been. The
purse contained gold coins and a note from the king indicating that
the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the
roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand:
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

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

When were jeans invented and by whom?

From cowboys to catwalks, blue jeans are big business. Whether you are a celeb with sass, or an average Joe seeking a relaxed look, the style, cut, color, and fit of your favorite pair of jeans say a lot about you. And this year marks the 152th anniversary of the indispensable bottoms. So whom do we have to thank for this most treasured piece of clothing? None other than Levi Strauss, the Bavarian-born American icon who clothed rugged cowboys in their signature work pants. The young immigrant made his way to San Francisco with his siblings in tow and dreams of success filling his head. In 1866, he established a dry-goods store on Battery Street, where it remained for 40 years.

Many of his customers were miners and cowboys who needed rough- and-tumble work clothes. Due to its durable nature, canvas was already a staple of workwear, but it tended to chafe the wearer. Strauss searched around and found a new fabric from France called "serge de Nimes" (later shortened to denim).

One of Strauss' customers was Jacob Davis, a tailor who purchased bolts of cloth wholesale. Davis' clientele included one particularly demanding customer who continually ripped the pockets off his pants. Davis fashioned him a pair of denim pants strengthened with rivets that could withstand a great deal of strain and abuse. Davis' pants were a hit, and he quickly saw the potential for big business. Lacking the $68 to file a patent and protect his design, Davis approached Strauss. The two quickly became business partners and filed a patent for their "waist overalls" on May 20, 1873.

U.S. Patent 139,121 specifically covered the process of riveting men's work pants. Featuring a single back pocket with an arcuate stitching design (a double row of arched stitching -- one of the oldest apparel trademarks in existence), a "cinch" buckle strap on the waistband, and suspender buttons instead of belt loops, the first pair of jeans were officially born in the San Francisco fog.

LAST CALL Y'ALL

After an overnight flight to meet my father at his latest military
assignment, my mother wearily arrived at Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany
with my eight siblings and me - all under age 11.  Collecting our many
suitcases, the ten of us entered the cramped customs area.

A young customs official watched our entourage in disbelief,

"Ma'am," he said, "do all these children and this luggage belong to
you?"

"Yes, sir," my mother said with a sigh.  "They're *all* mine."

The customs agent began his interrogation:

"Ma'am, do you have any weapons, contraband or illegal drugs in your
possession?"

"Sir," she calmly answered, "if I'd had any of those items, I would have
used them by now."


The official allowed us to pass without opening a single suitcase.

Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

If you think the fashions of today are ridiculous,
just take another look in the family album.
