FRIDAY MAY 26,2006
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: LONG
WEEKEND
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.
"Well," 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."

Bush was receiving a business tycoon at
the White House. "I don't know what the fuss is about the stock market. If I
weren't President, I'd be buying stocks right now."
"I know," said the
businessman. "If you weren't President, I'd be buying them,
too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
pair of chickens walk into a public library, find the librarian and
say, 'Buk
Buk BUK.' The librarian decides that the chickens want three
books, and
promptly gives them some. Without further ado, the chickens
walk
out.
Around midday, the two chickens are back and looking quite annoyed.
One
leans over to the librarian and says,' Buk Buk BuKKOOK!' The
librarian
decides that the chickens want another three books and promptly
gives
them some more. The chickens leave as before.
About an hour
later the two birds march in, approach the librarian,
looking very angry now
and nearly shouting, 'Buk Buk Buk Buk Bukkooook!'
The librarian is now
starting to get worried about where all her stock
is going. She decides to
give them more books but also to follow them
and find out what's
happening.
She followed them out of the library, out of town, and into to
a park.
At this point, she hid behind a tree, not wanting to be
seen.
She saw the two chickens throwing the books at a frog in a pond,
to
which the frog was kept repeating, "Rrredit Rrredit
Rrredit..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lawyer was questioning the testimony of a witness to a
shooting. "Did you see the shot fired?"
"No sir, I only heard
it."
"Stand down, said the judge sharply. "Your testimony is of no
value." The witness turned around in the box to leave, and when his back was
turned to the judge he laughed loudly and derisively. Irate at this exhibition
of contempt, the judge called the witness back to the chair and demanded to know
how he dared to laugh at the court.
"Did you see me laugh, Judge?" asked
the witness.
"No, but I heard you," retorted the judge.
"That
evidence is not satisfactory, Your Honor," said the witness
respectfully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In
a hurry to make an appointment on time, a businessman parked his
car in a no
parking zone, and left the following note under the
windshield
wiper:
"I've circled the block for 15 minutes without finding a
parking
spot. If I don't park here, I'll lose my job. Remember the
bible,
'Forgive us our trespasses.'"
Returning later to his car, he
found parking ticket and this note
under the windshield wiper:
"I've
been circling this block for 15 years. If I don't give you a
ticket,
I'll lose my job. Remember the bible, 'Lead us not
into
temptation.'"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There
is the story of a person who got up one Sunday and
announced to his
congregation:
I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, we have
enough money to pay for our
new building program.
The bad news is, it's
still out there in your
pockets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just
before a long
holiday weekend.
The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead
of
him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant
motioned
him toward a vacant pump.
"Reverend," said the young man, sorry
about the delay.
It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get
ready
for a long trip.
The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's
the same
in my
business."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Castro
was addressing a large audience in Cuba, and he began, "They
accuse me of
intervening in Angola..." and a man going through the
audience called out,
"Peanuts! Popcorn!"
Castro went on: "They say I'm intervening in
Mozambique..." and the same
loud voice shouted, "Peanuts! Popcorn!
Castro continued: "They say I'm intervening in Nicaragua..." and
the
voice yelled again, "Peanuts! Popcorn!"
By this time Castro was
boiling mad and he sputtered, "Bring that man
who is shouting 'Peanuts!
Popcorn!' to me, and I'll kick him all the way
to Miami."
And
everybody in the audience started shouting, "Peanuts!
Popcorn!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
brunette, a redhead, and a blonde were on their way to Heaven.
God told
them that the stairway to Heaven was 1000 steps, and that on
every 5th step
He would tell them a joke. He told them not to laugh at
any of the jokes
along the way or else they would not be able to enter
Heaven.
The
brunette went first and started laughing on the 45th step, so she
could not
enter Heaven.
The redhead went next and started laughing on the 200th
step, so she
could not enter Heaven either.
Then, it was the blonde's
turn. When she got to the 999th step, she
started laughing.
"Why are
you laughing?" God asked. "I didn't tell a joke."
"I know," the blonde
replied. "I just got the first
joke."

The
proud father brought home a backyard swing set for his
children
and immediately started to assemble it with all the
neighborhood
children anxiously waiting to play on it.
After several
hours of reading the directions, attempting
to fit bolt A into
slot B, etc., he finally gave up and
called upon an old handyman
working in a neighboring yard.
The old-timer came over,
threw the directions away, and in
a short while had the set
completely assembled.
It's beyond me," said the father, "how
you got it together
without even reading
instructions."
"To tell the truth," replied the old-timer,
"I can't read,
and when you can't read, you've got to
think."

I was trying to
mow the lawn before my husband got home from
work, but our
electric lawn mower refused to cooperate. It
would run fine for
a few seconds, then cut off, run again,
cut off. Finally, I gave
up and waited for my husband.
He had a good laugh when he
diagnosed the problem. Instead
of plugging in the mower using a
three-prong adapter, I had
hooked up the cord through the
Christmas-tree light blinker.

Bank
robbers had tied and gagged the bank cashier after
learning the
combination to the safe and had herded the
other employees into
a separate room under guard.
After they rifled the safe and
were about to leave, the
cashier made desperate pleading noises
through the gag.
Moved by curiosity, one of the burglars
loosed the gag.
"Please," whispered the cashier, "take the
books, too.
I'm $7,500 short."

A man picks up his golf-ignorant girlfriend after he has come

"Oh, those are called
tees. I put my balls on them when I'm
driving."
"Oh, well. Ask a silly question, get a silly

HEALTH NEWS ****
Bacteria might prove to be
energy source
ORLANDO, Fla., -- U.S. scientists say
bacteria might be
able to provide sustainable, renewable energy.
University
of Massachusetts researchers, using a variety of
natural
food sources, found bacteria can be used to
create
electricity, produce alternative fuels such as ethanol
and
boost the output of existing oil wells. "Microbial
fuel
cells show promise for conversion of organic wastes
and
renewable biomass to electricity, but further
optimization
is required for most applications," said Derek
Lovley of
the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Earlier this
month,
Lovley announced achieving a 10-fold increase in
electrical
output by allowing bacteria in microbial fuel cells
to grow
on biofilms in the electrodes of a fuel cell. This
week,
Gemma Reguera, a researcher in Lovley's lab, is to
present
data identifying for the first time how those bacteria
are
able to transfer electrons through the biofilms to
the
electrodes. The research is being discussed this week
in
Orlando, Fla., during the 106th General Meeting of
the
American Society for
Microbiology.
New GI
technology improves organ studies
LOS ANGELES, --
As technology continues to improve, re-
searchers meeting Monday
in Los Angeles say they are
increasingly able to study internal
organs without open
surgery. In a group of studies presented
during Digestive
Disease Week 2006, endoscopic procedures are
shown to
demonstrate significant improvements in the quality
and
delivery of GI tract evaluation, diagnosis and
treatment.
Digestive Disease Week marks the largest
international
gathering of physicians and researchers in the
fields of
gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and
gastro-
intestinal
surgery.
Dental appliance
said to give faces a lift
LONDON, -- A British
doctor says a brace that increases the
gap between upper and
lower teeth exercises the facial
muscles and reverses some of
the work of age. The "Oralift"
was developed by Dr. Nick
Mohindra, a London dentist, the
Daily Mail reported. According
to his Web site, his satis-
fied patients include Janan Harb,
58, widow of King Fahd of
Saudi Arabia. "Orthodontic braces are
often associated with
gawky, self-conscious teenagers who are
afraid to smile
because they feel so unattractive," Mohindra
said. "It's
funny to think of the Oralift as a brace that
beautifies,
but that's what it is. Here we have a simple device,
worn
in the mouth, that can turn an ugly duckling into a
swan."
A study reportedly found that 80 percent of subjects
who
used the Oralift were deemed to look between 5 and 20
years
younger, the newspaper said. The device, which can be
worn
either at night or at all times, including during
eating,
is said to work by forcing the facial muscles into a
new
position.

The Best Time Of
My Life
Author Unknown
It was June 15, and in two
days I would be turning thirty. I was insecure about entering a new decade of my
life and feared that my best years were now behind me.
My daily routine
included going to the gym for a workout before going to work. Every morning I
would see my friend Nicholas at the gym. He was seventy-nine years old and in
terrific shape. As I greeted Nicholas on this particular day, he noticed I
wasn't full of my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong. I told
him I was feeling anxious about turning thirty. I wondered how I would look back
on my life once I reached Nicholas's age, so I asked him, "What was the best
time of your life?"
Without hesitation, Nicholas replied, "Well, Joe,
this is my philosophical answer to your philosophical question:
"When I
was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was
nurtured by my parents, that was the best time of my life.
"When I was
going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of
my life.
"When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid
for my efforts, that was the best time of my life.
"When I met my wife
and fell in love, that was the best time of my life.
"The Second World
War came, and my wife and I had to flee
Austria to save our lives. When we were
together and safe on a ship bound for North America, that was the best time of
my life.
"When we came to Canada and started a family, that was the best
time of my life.
"When I was a young father, watching my children grow
up, that was the best time of my life.
"And now, Joe, I am seventy-nine
years old. I have my health, I feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I
was when we first met. This is the best time of my
life."

May 25, 2006: Life isn't slowing down for Dierks Bentley all
that much, but his latest song, "Settle for a Slowdown," just hit the top of the
Billboard song chart for the week ending June 3. On the album chart, Rascal
Flatts was once again number one with "Me And My Gang."
Bentley took over the number one position from Jason Aldean,
whose "Why" fell to second after one week at number one. LeAnn Rimes remained
third with "Something's Gotta Give." Kenny Chesney was a big mover as
"Summertime" climbed four spots to fourth. Phil Vassar's "Last Day Of My Life"
was up two to fifth.
Brad Paisley moved up four to eighth with "The World." There was
little movement in the rest of the top 25. The only new song was Jake Owen's Yee
Haw," up 3 spots to 25th.
On the album chart, Tim McGraw's "Greatest Hits Vol 2:
Reflected" stayed second. Carrie Underwood climbed two to third with "Some
Hearts." Toby Keith stayed in fourth with "White Trash With Money," while Alan
Jackson's gospel disc, "Precious Memories," dropped two spots to fifth.
On the overall top 200, Rascal Flatts was 6th, McGraw 21st,
Underwood 22nd, Keith 26th and Jackson 28th.

MORE TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR
HANDS HAPPY IN THE KITCHEN:
Since we talked about
onions yesterday how about a tip for
getting onion and garlic
odors out of your hands? Just wet
your hands and rub them on
something stainless steel like
your sink faucet or a serving
spoon and it will neutralize
the odor.
If
it's really a bad odor I'll pass along a suggestion
that some
zookeepers use...which you can imagine must be
a potent problem
with all of the animal smells on their
hands. They use
toothpaste! Sounds crazy but one of our
readers passed this to
me who had a hard time getting
out "fishy" odors. He tested it
and found that it really
does work (just don't use the gel
stuff).
**** TODAY'S USELESS
FACT ****
Is it
possible to get worms from a dog if it licks you?
There are few things a young child likes
more than to be licked in the face by a friendly dog. But this lick of affection
might also be a kiss of death - it could infect the child with hydatids, a nasty and
potentially fatal disease.
What is hydatid disease and where does it
occur? Hydatid disease is a parasite infection of humans and animals. In
Australia and in America, hydatid disease is caused by a tiny tapeworm,
Echinococcus granulosus. Scientists estimate that there are approximately 500
people currently being treated and monitored for hydatid infection and that
about 50 new cases of infection arise each year. Direct contact with infected
dogs is perhaps the most common way by which people become infected by the
parasite. As explained, E. granulosus eggs are passed into the environment in
dog feces.
We all know that dogs have a habit of sniffing each other’s
rear ends, and licking their own.
In this way, eggs can be transferred to
the dog’s muzzle, tongue and fur. The eggs can then be transferred to people
when they pat the dog or are licked by it.
People who live on farms are
most commonly infected with hydatids, but not exclusively. Any cat or dog that
is infected with worms can and do transfer the parasite to their owners in a
number of different ways, including being licked in the face by their pet, for
the reasons mentioned (above) in this article.
