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!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alternate Uses for
Duct Tape
Hate finding your mailbox clogged with junk mail,
advertising circulars and bills? Duct tape your mailbox
shut.
Obliterate that blinking "12:00" on your VCR once and for all
with a single strip of duct tape.
Gals - duct tape keeps the toilet
seat down
Guys - duct tape keeps the toilet seat up
Wrap
sticky-side out around your hand to pick up fuzz, lint and pet hair from
clothing and furniture also picks up small pets from clothing and
furniture.
Replace winter boots with socks wrapped in several layers
of duct tape.
Duct tape hand held games to your car's steering wheel
for amusement during afternoon traffic jams. Also great on trips.
High
chair falling apart after the third kid? Duct tape will make it last for
three or four more.
Make a fashion statement: Patch old blue jeans with
duct tape.
Broken wooden serving spoons? Repair with duct tape,
instant mock-silver service.
Tired of refrigerator magnets tumbling to
the floor each time you reach for a cold drink? Duct tape will hold the kids'
artwork until they graduate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q. What does W.O.M.A.N stand for?
A. Will Often Moan
And Nag ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Bush was asked about
the literacy problem. He said, 'We can solve the literacy if every American
picked up just one piece of paper every day and put it in the
trash." --Jay Leno ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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? Diner: Oh, yes, I forgot.... Don't ever eat
here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Captain: Private,
there's a squad of enemy soldiers hiding in 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." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Car Names

**** 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.

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
