THURSDAY MARCH 09,2006

THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The easiest way to make your old car run better, is to check the
prices of a new car.
We went to breakfast at a restaurant
where the "seniors special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast
for $1.99. "Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs." "Then
I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're
ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her. "You mean I'd have to pay for
not taking the eggs?" my wife asked incredulously. "Yes" she was
told. "I'll take the special." "How do you want your eggs?" "Raw and in
the shell," my wife replied. She took the two eggs home. DON'T MESS
WITH SENIORS. We've been around the block more than
once. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Sally came running in from
school. "Mommy! Mommy! At show and tell, Billy showed us something that's six
inches long, has two nuts, and can make me very fat!" Gasping, the woman said,
"Sally! What on earth did he show you?" The girl replied, "An Almond
Joy!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was teaching
a student in my vocational class the proper way to use a wrench. I told him to
think of his watch: clockwise to install a nut, counterclockwise to remove it.
"But sir," he said after a moment of silence, "I wear a
digital." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My friend
had been promoted and transferred to another branch of the Commerce bank where
she worked. Hoping her new staff would appreciate it, Sandy decided to organize
a party and arranged a meeting after the branch closed. She explained her plans
and asked those who would come alone to raise one hand and those who would be
accompanied to raise two. The police arrived within minutes.
A pedestrian
walking by had seen the bank staff with their hands above their heads. Thinking
a robbery was in progress, he had raced to a phone booth and dialed 9-1-1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We were sitting out back when
the gas man, obviously annoyed, arrived to check our meter. We asked him what
was wrong, and he told us that the previous day he had gone to a neighbor's
house to read the meter. Since no one was home, he had let himself into their
backyard. As he stepped through the gate, a large, vicious- looking Rottweiler
had chased him off. He left a note in their mailbox saying he'd return the next
day and asking the owners to tie the dog up. And they had--to the gas meter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was living in the
mountains above Denver when my college buddy, Gary, arrived in
his ancient Maserati sports car. He had just driven it from
Ohio, and as he pulled into my driveway, the car broke
down.
Calls to auto-supply houses and garages in search of
re- placement parts proved futile. The 1962 model was
simply too rare. Responses ranged from "Mas-a-what?" to
"You've got to be kidding."
One guy just
laughed.
I was at the end of the listings in the Yellow
Pages when I dialed Victor's Garage. "Vic," I said, "you're my
last hope. Do you carry any parts for a 1962
Maserati?"
There was a long pause. Finally, Victor cleared
his throat. "Yes," he replied.
"Oil." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The secretary came in late for work
for the third day in a row. The boss called her into his office and said,
"Now look Sharon, I know we had a wild fling for a while, but that's over. I
expect you to conduct yourself like any other employee around here.
Who told you you could come and go as you please around here?" Sharon
simply smiled, lit up a cigarette, and while exhaling said, "My
lawyer." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Irish priest
is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding.The state
trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty
wine bottle on the floor of the car. He says, "Sir, have you been
drinking?" "Just water," says the priest. The trooper says, "Then why do I
smell wine?" The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done
it again!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A housewife called up a pet store and said, "Send
me thirty-thousand cockroaches at once." "What in the world do you want
with thirty-thousand cockroaches?" asked the astonished clerk. "Well,"
replied the woman, "I am moving today and my lease says I must leave the
premises in exactly the same condition I found
them." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A blind man enters a Ladies'
Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After
sitting there for a while he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a
blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet.
In a
very angry voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir,
you should know five things:
One - The bartender is a blonde girl.
Two - The bouncer is a blonde girl. Three - I'm a
six-foot, 200-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
Four - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional
weightlifter.
Five - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a
professional wrestler.
Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do
you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind man thinks for a
second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it
five times." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REDNECK MAMA A
woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15
kids...
"WOW," the social worker exclaims,"are they ALL
YOURS???"
"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having
heard that question a thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Leroy."
All the children rush to find seats.
"We ll," says the social worker,
"then you must be here to sign up. I'll need all your children's
names." "This one's my oldest - he is Leroy."
"OK, and who's
next?"
"Well, this one he is Leroy, also."
The social worker
raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all
boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named
Leighroy!
"All right," says the case worker. "I'm seeing a pattern
here. Are they ALL named Leroy?"
Their Momma replied, "Well, yes-it
makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for
school, I yell, 'Leroy!' An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an'
they all comes arunnin.' An 'if I need to stop the kid who's running into the
street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I
ever had, namin' them all Leroy."
The social worker thinks this over for
a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, "But what if you just
want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?" "I call them by their last
names." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An Indian walks into a
cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other.
He says to the waiter, "Want coffee." The waiter says,
"Sure, Chief, coming right up."
He gets the Indian a tall mug
of coffee. The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and
blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter
everywhere, then just walks out. The next morning the
Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand pulling another
male buffalo with the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the
waiter, "Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto!
We're still cleaning up your mess From yesterday. What was all that
about, anyway?" The Indian smiles and proudly says,
"Training for position in United States Congress: Come in, drink
coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear
for rest of day." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Doctor, I
can't find a comfortable position to sit." The doctor examined Harry and
said, "I'm not surprised that you're having trouble sitting; you have a
good case of hemorrhoids." He then gave Harry a supply of suppositories, and
told him, "Go home now, and use one of these each morning and one at night
until they're gone. Then come back and we'll see how you are." Harry went
home, and in a couple of weeks returned, still complaining of
hemorrhoids. "Well," said the doctor, "Did you use all of the
suppositories?" "Yes, I did," said Harry. "I took one every morning and
every night as you instructed, even though they were pretty hard to
swallow." "For all the good they did me, I might just as well have shoved
them up my a++!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A
story is told of a Jewish man who was riding on the subway reading an
Arab newspaper. A friend of his, who happened to be riding in the same subway
car noticed this strange phenomenon. Very upset, he approached the
newspaper reader: "Moshe, have you lost your mind? Why are you reading an
Arab newspaper?" Moshe replied: "I used to read the Jewish newspaper, but
what did I find? Jews being persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews
disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage, Jews living in poverty.
So, I switched to the Arab newspaper. "Now what do I find? Jews own all
the banks, Jews control the media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule
the world. The news is so much better!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Texas A & M student named Jill calls her friend Linda, Linda
picks up the phone. Jill says "Do ya wanna go to the mall with me?" Linda
asks "why?" Jill replies, "I need to buy cosmetics" Linda asks
"why" Jill replies "Well, my English prof says, 'I have a make-up exam on
Monday." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While the group of doctors
I worked for were having their office space renovated, we on the staff continued
working. The receptionist often helped the administrator with decorating and
final touches. One day they were working on the shower curtain in the doctors'
change room when a phone call came in for the administrator. The clerk who
answered apologized, saying, "He can't come to the phone right now -- he's in
the shower with Melissa." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I was a reporter, I spent several
years covering the police courts. One day I was walking down a hallway with an
attorney, engrossed in a discussion on a point of law. When he opened a door and
walked through, I followed, preoccupied with the matter we had been debating.
Suddenly, he stopped. "Can I ask you something?" he asked. "Sure," I
replied. "Do you really think you should be in the men's
washroom?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extremely tired of nagging my children to do their everyday chores, I
typed up a list of rules and went over all 30 with them.
A little while
later, my husband walked over and read the posted list, looked at me and said,
"God made only ten Commandments."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A noted psychiatrist was a
guest at an academic function, and his hostess naturally
broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease.
"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," she asked, "how you detect
a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely
normal?"
"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple
question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the
person hesitates, that puts you on the track."
"What sort of question?"
"Well, you might ask him,
'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during
one of them. Which one?'"
The hostess thought a moment, then
said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another
example would you? I must confess I don't know much about
history." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I overheard my
father telling a family friend about my newly- assigned mission
in the U.S. Coast Guard. I work on a cutter that escorts all
cruise ships and international vessels under the bridges in
California's Bay Area.
But what my father told his friend
was, "She's involved in some sort of escort service."

Then there
was the young man who left the priesthood after just two months. "Can you
imagine" he told a friend, " the torture of giving up your sex life only to have
people come in and tell you the highlights of
theirs?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You see, dear, it is not true that woman was made from
man's ribs; she was really made from his funny bone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Formerly, when great fortunes were only made in war, war was a business; but
now, when great fortunes are only made in business, business is

class reunion was held at a hotel on the same night that another school's
10th-year reunion was taking place.
While my girl friends and I were in
the rest room talking, some unfamiliar women entered. After their stares became
uncomfortable, we turned toward them. One of the women said, "Don't mind us. We
just wanted to see how we'd look in another 10 years."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I went to a store to buy some
insecticide. "Is this good for beetles?" I asked the clerk.
"No," replied. "It'll kill
'em." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Interns scare me. They're

Serotonin linked to
atherosclerosis
DENVER, -- A less active brain
serotonin system is asso- ciated with early hardening of the
arteries, University of Pittsburgh researchers said. The
findings -- the first to establish a link between serotonin
messages in the brain and atherosclerosis -- could lead to an
entirely new strategy for preventing heart disease and
stroke, said Dr. Matthew F. Muldoon, associate professor of
medi- cine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
"Many of the known risk factors for heart disease and stroke
-- high blood pressure and cholesterol, obesity,
diabetes, smoking and lack of exercise -- can, to some extent,
be controlled by our lifestyle choices," said
Muldoon. "Until now, no one had studied the possibility that
brain abnormalities could explain why some people make
these poor lifestyle choices and have multiple risk factors
for heart disease." The findings were presented at the
64th Annual Scientific Conference of the American
Psycho- somatic Society in
Denver. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Genes
linked to increased risk of AMD
NEW YORK, --
Seventy-four percent of U.S. patients with age-related macular
degeneration carry certain variants in one or two genes that
increase their risk. Researchers at Columbia University Medical
Center pinpointed the role that two genes -- Factor H and Factor
B -- play in the develop- ment of nearly three out of four cases
of age-related macular degeneration, a devastating eye disease
that affects more than 10 million people in the United States.
The study, led by Rando Allikmets, showed that several variants
in the Factor H gene significantly increase the risk of
developing age-related macular degeneration. Factor H encodes a
protein that helps shut down an immune response against
bacterial or viral infection, once the infection is eliminated.
People with these inherited risk-increasing variations of Factor
H are less able to control inflammation caused by
infectious triggers, which may spark age-related macular
degeneration later in life. The findings are published in Nature
Genetics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Genes affecting blood pressure
change
AUGUSTA, Ga., -- As children transform into
adults some of the genes involved in controlling their blood
pressure change as well, a U.S. study found. The study of 500
black and white identical and fraternal twins showed that
changes in gene expression between ages 14 and 18 accounted for
up to one third of the blood pressure variation that
occurred by age 18, said Dr. Harold Snieder, genetic
epidemiologist at the Medical College of Georgia. "We know this
is a period of great change, between 14 and 18 years of age,
as children are growing, hormones are raging and the
stability of adulthood has not yet been reached," said Snieder.
Those factors prompted Snieder and his colleagues to look at
what happens to blood pressure and related hemodynamics --
such as heart rate and how much blood the heart pumps with
each beat -- near the beginning and end of the
biologically tumultuous times. The findings were presented at
the 64th Annual Scientific Conference of the American
Psychosomatic Society in
Denver. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SLEEP DEFICIT CAN CAUSE LEARNING, BEHAVIOR
PROBLEMS
A study finds most fifth graders fail to
get enough sleep, a deficit that can lead to learning and
behavior problems. The survey of 199 students, conducted by
researchers at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind., and
published in the Journal of School Health, shows most experience
sleep loss and feel sleepy during the day at least two to four
times a week. Nearly half have trouble waking up on school
days. "Sleep affects the health and well-being of children
and plays a key role in preventing disease and injury,
stability of mood and the ability to learn," says Denise
Amschler, professor of physiology and health science. She says
elemen- tary school children require an average of 10 hours to
11 hours of sleep a night, and few get it. "Parents need
to monitor their children's sleep behaviors, including
talking with their youngsters about their sleep attitude and
experi- ences," Amschler advises.

Standing Tall on
a Surfboard in Midlife By Mike Gordon
A wave rose behind me, but it was barely a swell. If
I had been standing instead of lying on a surfboard, it might have been
tall enough to splash my calves.
Still, I stroked the water like a man
about to be swallowed by a shark. If the board was moving, I couldn't tell.
I started to think this was an awful idea, that maybe this was not meant
to be.
Maybe I had waited too long to learn how to surf.
Middle-aged egos can be painful to watch. A man can turn forty, spot
a few gray hairs and do all kinds of things to prove he's still younger.
Some men have affairs with leggy redheads, others start jogging. I decided
to make good on a promise I made to myself when I was twelve.
I was
going to learn to surf.
I often told myself it wasn't right to have
grown up in Hawai'i and not have learned how to surf. All my life, this
concept got steady reinforcement. Everywhere, I saw people with surfboards -
young people, old people, men, women. Once, I saw a five-year-old "carving
wave." Another time, I saw a dog "hang ten." How hard could it be to
learn this?
And yet, I didn't do anything about it. Instead, I made
excuses about not having enough time and not knowing anyone who would
teach me.
Then I saw a yellow flyer for a surf school in Waikiki,
and the child in me spoke up, telling me it was time.
That was how I
found myself floating off Diamond Head at a surf break called Tonggs. My
arms were stroking the water as if my life had no other purpose. The wave
scooped me up as my instructor grabbed the back of my surfboard and gave
me a quick shove forward.
I was moving, but I wasn't surfing. Before I
could persuade myself to react, the ride was over. I'd blown it on my
first attempt.
My instructor didn't know what to make of this. Then
he shoved my board toward shore so quickly, I thought he was angry.
"Paddle, now!" he shouted.
What happened next didn't take long: I stood
up. I fell down. The wave passed me by.
Each new wave generated the
same result: a wipeout with all the grace of a drunken belly flop.
Another wave rose like a dare. And then it happened. It was over in
twenty seconds, but I'll remember it forever. Even if it never happens
again.
I'll remember the sky was slightly overcast, and the ocean
was an undulating slab of gray-blue, streaked with white breakers. I'll
remember the taste of salt water on my lips and the ache between my shoulder
blades. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prayer
Requests I will go into the BaylorAlsaints Hospital March 13th for
my third back surgery. I would appreciate your prayers for everything to
okay in my recovery. Thanks and God bless. James W.
Roden ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please pray that Mr
Henderson, a terminal paitent and non-believer, opens his heart to
Jesus's love and accepts his promise of life eternal before it is too
late. Pray his remaining time on earth is easied by God's
comfort. Texnanna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**** TODAY'S USELESS
FACT ****
How did the sandwich get its
name?
The word sandwich was born in London one night in 1762 when an English nobleman,
John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792), was too busy gambling to
stop for a meal even though he was hungry for some food.
The legend goes
that he ordered a waiter to bring him roast-beef between two slices of bread.
The Earl was able to continue his gambling while eating his snack; and from that
incident, we have inherited that quick-food product that we now know as the
sandwich.
The title, Earl of ???Sandwich???, comes from Old English (O.E.)
Sandwic, and literally means ???sand village???, ???Sandy Place???, or ???Place on the
Sand???. The old English "wic" is a loan word from Latin vicus, ???hamlet???, which
also gives us the word vicinity. The first recorded mention of the town was
around 640 A.D.

LAST CALL
Y'ALL
A man goes into a pet store with his pet duck. I've got a "Dry
Duck", he tells the owner. He tries to drink water, but he can't. The store
owner looks at the duck and says, " I see the problem. Your duck's bill is too
long, and so he can't drink enough water. All I have to do is file some of his
bill off so he can drink. "How much will it cost?" says the man. "Oh, about 20
bucks ought to do it", says the owner. "20 BUCKS?" says the man. "Heck, I can
file his bill off myself for that kinda money." The owner cautions the man that
if he files too much of the duck's bill, the duck will drink Too Much water, and
drown. "I'll take my chances", says the man, and he leaves. The next day, the
same man comes into the pet store, walks up to the owner and says, "I want to
buy a duck." "AHA, says the owner, "you filed too much of your duck's bill off
and it drowned, didn't you." "No, said the man, the duck was already dead when I
took his head out of the vise."
That's all
