THOUGHT FOR TODAY: What is the definition of a irreconcilable differences? When she's melting down her wedding ring to cast it into a bullet.

After many years of trying, the Russian family was finally  
able to bring grandpa to America to live with them. The old  
gentleman could only speak Russian.  

Each day when the family members were at work grandpa would  
spend his time in the park, walking, watching the children  
play and feed the ducks a few crumbs he brought along. So  
that he would be able to get a little something to eat they  
taught him to say, "apple pie, coffee."  

Each day he would go to the nearby deli, climb on a stool at  
the counter and say to the counterman, "Apple pie, coffee."  

This worked well for him until one day he decided that he  
just couldn't take another piece of apple pie. So the family  
taught him to say, "Ham sandwich, coke."  

He went to the park the next day looking forward to being  
able to order a ham sandwich in stead of apple pie. Smiling  
to himself he climbed onto the stool at the counter and  
waited his turn.  

When the counterman asked for his order he proudly said,  
"Ham sandwich, coke."  

To which the counterman asked, "White or rye?"  

The old man replied, "Um, apple pie, coffee."

One of our clients brought in his massive Doberman pinscher  
to be spayed. As a veterinary assistant, I escort the patient  
into the doctor's office.  

Before taking this dog's leash, I glimpsed those large teeth  
of hers and asked the owner, "Is she friendly?"  

"Friendly?" said the man. "Friendly? She's had five litters!  
How much 'friendlier' than that can she get?"

Two guys go hunting. Junior has never gone hunting while Joe
has hunted all his life. When they get to the northern
Kentucky woods, Joe tells Junior to sit by a tree and not
make a sound while Joe checks out a deer stand.
 
After he gets about a quarter of a mile away, Joe hears a
blood-curdling scream. He rushes back to Jerry and yells,
"I thought I told you to be quiet!"
 
Junior says, "Hey, I tried. I really did. When those snakes
crawled over me, I didn't make a sound. When that bear was
breathing down my neck, I didn't make a peep. But when those
two chipmunks crawled up my pants leg and said, 'Should we
take them with us or eat them here?' I couldn't keep quiet
any more!"

An old rabbi is talking with one of his friends and says
with a warm smile, "I gladdened seven hearts today."

"Seven hearts?" asks the friend. "How did you do that?"

The rabbi strokes his beard and replies, "I performed
three marriages."

The friend looks at him quizzically. "Seven?" he asks. "I could
understand six, but..."

"What do you think," says the rabbi, "that I do this
for free?"

I was bringing in a C-5 on GCA one bad night and several times warned
the pilot immediate traffic on his six, (behind him) at the same
altitude and speed while trying to contact the other aircraft, just
knowing that there is going to be a mid-air crash on my watch. Many
possible scenarios passed through my mind as to why the second aircraft
was following my instructions so perfectly, while trying to get the two
separated to a safe distance. My supervisor, hearing that I am having a
problem has just plugged into my radio when the pilot of the 5A comes
back with, " Control, with all due respect, I think the second aircraft
is my tail." As my supervisor broke out laughing, I realized that I had
boo-booed, but didn't know how, just that it was very embarrassing. I
was astounded when the next day, I was shown a C-5A on the parking ramp
and found out just how "Big" that sucker is.

TO:  The Honorable Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir,

My friend, Ed Peterson, over at Wells, Iowa, received a check for
$10,000 from the government for not raising hogs. So, I want to go
into the "not raising hogs" business next year. What I want to
know is, in your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to
raise hogs on, and what is the best breed of hogs not to raise?

I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with
all governmental policies. I would prefer not to raise razorbacks,
but if that is not a good breed not to raise, then I will just as
gladly not raise Yorkshires or Durocs.

As I see it, the hardest part of this program will be in keeping
an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven't raised. My
friend, Peterson, is very joyful about the future of the business.
He has been raising hogs for twenty years or so, and the best he
ever made on them was $1,422 in 1968, until this year when he got
your check for $10,000 for not raising hogs.

If I get $1,000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2,000 for not
raising 100 hogs?  I plan to operate on a small scale at first,
holding myself down to about 4,000 hogs not raised, which will
mean about $80,000 the first year. Then I can afford an airplane.

Now another thing these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000
bushels of corn.  I understand that you also pay farmers for not
raising corn and wheat.  Will I qualify for payments for not
raising wheat and corn not to feed the 4,000 hogs I am not going
to raise?

Also, I am considering the "not milking cows" business, so send
me any information you have on that, too. In view of these
circumstances, you understand that I will be totally unemployed
and plan to file for unemployment and food stamps. Be assured you
will have my vote in the coming election.

Patriotically Yours,
A soon to be Gentleman Farmer

P.S. Would you please notify me when you plan to distribute more
free cheese?

Panicking when her toddler swallowing a tiny magnet, my sister
Betty rushed him to the emergency room.

"He'll be fine," the doctor promised her. "The magnet should pass
through his system in a day or two."

"How will I be sure?" she pressed.

"Well," the doctor suggested, "you could stick him on the
refrigerator.  When he falls off, you'll know."

As a woman was nursing her baby, her cousin's six-year-old daughter,
Krissy, came into the room. Never having seen anyone breast-feed
before, she was intrigued and full of all kinds of questions about
what was going on.

After mulling over the woman's answers, she remarked, "My mom has
some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them."

When the mother returned from the grocery store, her son pulled
out the box of animal crackers he had begged for. Then he spread
the animal-shaped crackers all over the kitchen counter "What are

the seal is broken," the boy explained. "I'm looking for the seal."

"How did the wedding go?" asked the preacher's wife. "Just fine

Two men were working at the sawmill and one guy got too close to the
saw and cut his ear off. It fell in the sawdust pit so he jumped
down into the pit and was hunting around trying to find it. The
second guy saw him and hollered down, "What're you doing?" The
first man said that he had cut off his ear and was looking for
it. The second guy said, "I'll help you" and jumped in the pit. He
was searching around on his hands and knees and then hollered,
"I found it!" The first guy took it and examined it closely,
then said, "Keep looking. Mine had a pencil behind it."

There was this fellow from West Virginia who had a flat tire. He
pulled off on the side of the road, jumped out of his car, walked
down the hillside and picked a bunch of wildflowers, and proceeded
to put one bouquet of the flowers in front of the car and one behind
it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the
scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went
back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied,
"I have a flat tarr." In response the passerby asked, "But what's
with the flowers?"  The man responded, "When you break down they
tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back! I
never did understand it neither."

A politician was out fishing one day when he caught a strange
looking fish. He reeled the fish in, unhooked it, and threw it on
the ground next to him.

The fish started writhing in agony and, to the politician's
surprise, said, "Please throw me back into the lake and I'll grant
you three wishes."

"Any three wishes, huh?" the guy mused as visions of expensive
fast cars and equally expensive and even faster women paraded
through his head.

"Fish," he finally exclaimed, "give me five wishes and I'll throw
you back."

"Sorry," the fish answered while struggling for breath, "only
three wishes."

The politician's pride was at stake and after giving the matter some
thought he announced, "Just what do you take me for? A sucker? I'll
settle for four wishes."

"Only three," the fish murmured weakly.

Fuming, the man debated the pros and cons of accepting the three
wishes or continuing to bargain for that one extra wish.

Finally, he decided it wasn't worth looking a gift fish in the
mouth and said, "All right fish, you win this time, three wishes."

Unfortunately, the fish was dead.

While I was attending a law course, the 'Audiatur et altera pars'

A week earlier my son, Barry, who attends high school, had been shopping for sneakers. After spending considerable time in one store, he found a very expensive pair he liked, but he didn't have enough money with him to buy them. Now he and I were back at the same store. As we entered, the salesman obviously recognized him and said, "Oh, you've got the cash now?"

"No," Barry answered. "I've brought my banker." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friend and I were discussing where on our bodies would be the best place to apply the weight-loss patch we were trying. Her husband, who overheard our conversation, suggested, "Your mouths." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the riding school I ran, getting 12 rambunctious ten- to 14- year-old girls and ten horses and ponies to a horse show could be difficult, and everyone had a job to do. Several girls were in charge of the multitude of saddles, bridles, saddle pads and sundry pieces of equipment. Then came the checklists. Despite our best efforts, never a Sunday went by without the cry "I forgot the...."

Turning a truck and trailer around on country roads to retrieve the forgotten item is tricky, and this Saturday I was determined to be perfect. We checked the lists twice. But just after we started out, I heard, "We forgot the..."

In exasperation I interrupted, "Whoever forgot it will not go today!"

"But you forgot to load the ponies," they cried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While hiking in the mountains one day I came across a gorgeous gorge that I thought was an echo canyon. I shouted "Hello there." But the response sounded to me like "Hello where?" I tried again. "How do you do?" A moment later the report came back sounding like, "How do I do what?" Baffled and amused I decided to give it the ultimate test. "You're not really an echo canyon, are you?" The response from the big ditch confirmed my suspicions. "Brilliant deduction, Einstein!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arsonists' Plan To Ignite Car Blows Up In Their Faces

ENID, Okla. - Two men incriminated themselves when they
accidentally hit the wrong button on a cell phone and gave 911
dispatchers a detailed account of their plot to set a vehicle
on fire. Emergency dispatchers and a shift super- visor listened
for four hours while the two Enid natives worked out their plan
to steal an acquaintance's car and burn the vehicle up. "They
made some pretty dumb statements," said Enid police Capt. Jim
Nivison. "One of the males said, 'It's gonna burn, will they be
able to get fingerprints?' and 'I've got the lighter, Dude. Let's
go.'" The two men, Johnny Ray Miller and Robert A. Patterson,
were later jailed on conspiracy complaints.

Fake Money Buys Man A Spot In Jail

PALM BAY, Fla. - A 23-year-old man obviously had a good evening
planned when he stopped at a Walgreens Drug Store to pick up a
pack of condoms and some cologne. Too bad he tried to make his
purchases using a fake $100 bill. The clerk suspected the bill
Christopher Leigh Smith handed over was fake and stalled him until
police arrived. "He told them that he knew it was fake and that
he had gotten it from an unknown man," said spokeswoman Yvonne
Martinez. Unless Smith had planned on a fun night in jail, his
date probably didn't end up so well. He is being held at Brevard
County Jail on a $1,000 bond.

Federal authorities are hunting for a man and woman they say tried
to rob a Naperville, Illinois bank -- through its drive-up lane.

The pair pulled a SUV into the drive-through lanes of the bank and
sent the teller a note that read, "You have 10 seconds to fill
up the tube with $100's and $50's. No dye packs. Or I'll shoot
everyone in the parking lot," according to police.

The teller told the bank manager, who locked the bank's doors and
called police.

Cameras caught clear shots of the robbers and photos were sent to
police departments around the area. The couple were charged in
Wednesday's holdup after being recognized by a nearby sheriff's
department.

A California man is suing the city for driving a dump truck into
his car. The strange thing is that he was the city employee driving
the truck.

City officials denied Kurt Gooney's $3,600 claim for the acci-

have decided to file a new claim under her name.

Mrs. Gooney's claim is for $1,200 more than Kurt's.

"I'm not as nice as my husband is," she said.

The Bozo criminal for today comes from the International
File. From Sao Paulo, Brazil comes the story of Bozo Geraldo
Gallo who was arrested for cocaine smuggling. It was our bozo's
method of smuggling that got him into trouble. He was detained
at the airport as he tried to leave the country with a suitcase
full of 50 pounds of cheap Bolivian Cheese. Customs officials
became suspicious when he told them he was going to sell the
cheese when he reached his destination. The story didn't make
sense for two reasons: One, the cheese was not refrigerated and
would probably go bad before he reached his destination and, two,
his destination--Switzerland. Customs officers correctly figured he
would have a tough time selling lousy Bolivian cheese in a country
known for its great cheeses. They cut open a chunk of the cheese
and found the cocaine, resulting in the bozo's arrest.

**** HEALTH NEWS ****

Statin may change heart disease treatment  

CLEVELAND, -- A Cleveland Clinic study suggests high doses  
of a specific statin might help shrink arterial blockages,  
offering a non-surgical method of treatment. The study  
involving more than 500 patients found a cholesterol-lower-  
ing statin, Crestor, can shrink the kinds of blockages that  
cause most heart attacks, The Washington Post reported  
Tuesday. Statins are already widely used to prevent or slow  
heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. "This may be  
the beginning of a real revolution in the treatment of heart  
disease," said Dr. Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic,  
who led the study. "We're not merely slowing down the in-  
exorable progression, but truly reversing the disease. It's  
very exciting." Some cardiologists said the study was flawed,  
in that it did not compare patients receiving the experi-  
mental treatment with those who did not. But Nissen told The  
Post the study's methodology was sufficient to demonstrate  
an effect. However, he and other experts agree more research  
is needed to confirm the findings and supply other informa-  
tion, such as optimum dosage and safety questions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   

Bariatric surgery may reduce heart risks  

ROCHESTER, Minn., -- Mayo Clinic researchers say they've  
determined bariatric surgery might help reduce heart attack  
risks in obese patients. The community-based study involved  
the records of patients treated from 1990-2003, including  
197 patients with advanced degrees of obesity who underwent  
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, the most common weight-  
reduction surgery in the United States. The control group  
included 163 patients enrolled in a weight-reduction pro-  
gram. With an average 3.3-year follow-ups, the researchers  
recorded changes in cardiovascular risk factors such as  
blood pressure, diabetes indicators, cholesterol levels and  
each patient's body mass index. Researchers were surprised  
by the findings, said Dr. John Batsis, lead author of the  
study. The scientists' estimated 10-year risk for death or  
cardiovascular events, such as a heart attack, in the  
surgical group decreased from 37 percent to 18 percent as  
a result of the study, but remained at 30 percent for the  
control group. "We believed the surgical patients would  
have a modest reduced risk, but instead we discovered there  
 are significant and long-lasting heart benefits for this  
group," Batsis said. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

Some energy, soda drinks, high in caffeine  

GAINESVILLE, Fla., -- University of Florida scientists  
say some carbonated and energy drinks are so loaded with  
caffeine they might be dangerous to some people. Bruce  
Goldberger, director of UF's William Maples Center for  
Forensic Medicine, said the surprisingly high caffeine  
content in some beverages might present problems for  
pregnant women, children, and adults with hypertension,  
heart disease or mental health ailments. "We weren't  
surprised there was caffeine in the sodas and some of  
the other beverages," said Goldberger, a professor of  
pathology and psychiatry. The surprise, he said, was the  
high concentration of caffeine in some of the energy  
drinks that exceeded the government's recommendations  
for cold beverages. The Food and Drug Administration  
recommends a maximum caffeine concentration of 65 milli-  
grams per 12-ounce serving of cola beverages, although  
caffeine content is not regulated. The UF team tested 10  
energy drinks, 19 sodas and seven other beverages and  
found some energy drinks have up to 141 milligrams in a  
single serving -- more than twice the caffeine content of  
some espresso drinks. Most soda drinks contained caffeine  
levels well below the recommended amount. The study  
appears in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology.  


**** ON THIS DAY ****

"Daddy's Little Girl"

 

Her hair up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go

 

But her mommy tried to tell her,
that she probably should stay home
Why the kids might not understand,
if she went to school alone.

 

But she was not afraid;
she knew just what to say
What to tell her classmates,
on the Daddy's Day

 

But still her mommy worried,
for her to face this day alone
And that was why once again,
she tried to keep her daughter home.

 

But the little girl went to school,
eager to tell them all
About a dad she never sees,
a dad who never calls

 

There were daddies along the wall in back
for everyone to meet
Children squirming impatiently,
anxious in their seats

 

One by one the teacher called,
a student from the class
to introduce their daddy
as seconds slowly passed.

 

At last the teacher called her name,
every child turned to stare
Each of them were searching,
for a man who wasn't there

 

"Where's her daddy at?"
she heard a boy call out
"She probably doesn't have one,"
another student dared to shout

 

And from somewhere near the back,
she heard a daddy say
"Looks like another deadbeat dad,
too busy to waste his day."

 

The words did not offend her,
as she smiled at her friends
And looked back at her teacher
who told her to begin.

 

And with hands behind her back,
slowly she began to speak
and out from the mouth of a child,
came words incredibly unique.

 

"My Daddy couldn't be here,
because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could,
be with me on this day."

 

"And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know
All about my Daddy,
And how much he loves me so."

 

"He loved to tell me stories,
he taught me to ride my bike.
He surprised me with pink roses
and taught me to fly a kite."

 

"We used to share fudge sundaes,
and ice cream in a cone.
and though you cannot see him,
I'm not standing here alone."

 

"Cause my Daddy's always with me,
even though we are far apart.
I know because he told me,
he'll forever be here in my heart."

 

With that her little hand reached up,
and lay across her chest
Feeling her own heartbeat,
beneath her favorite dress.

 

And from some where in the crowd of dads,
her mother stood in tears
Proudly watching her daughter,
who was wise beyond her years

 

For she stood up for the love,
of a man not in her life
doing what was best for her,
doing what was right.

 

And when she dropped her hand back down,
staring straight into the crowd
She finished with a voice so soft
but its message clear and loud.

 

"I love my Daddy very much,
he's my shining star,
and if he could he'd be here
but heavens much to far."

 

"but sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away."
And then she closed her eyes,
and she saw him there that day.

 

And to her mother's amazement
she witnessed with surprise
A room full of Daddies and Children
all starting to close their eyes.

 

Who knows what they saw before them,
who knows what they felt inside
Perhaps for merely a second
they saw him at her side.

 

"I know you're with me Daddy,"
to the silence she called out
And what happened next made believers,
of those once filled with doubt

 

Not one in that room could explain it
for each of their eyes had been closed
but there placed on her desk
was a beautiful pink rose.

 

And a child was blessed, if only a moment,
by the love her shining bright star
and given the gift of believing that
Heaven is never to far.
