****JOKE
TIME****
As my husband, the county highway
commissioner, was driving to the
hospital for treatment of his painful knee
injury, he decided to take
advantage of the hospital's Valet
parking.
As he exited his car, a young man with the Valet parking co.,
comes up
and asks my husband if this was a government vehicle.
"Why,
yes," my husband replied, surprised by the question.
"In fact it's an
unmarked police car."
"Wow!" the young man said, sliding behind the
wheel.
"This will be the first time I've been in
the front seat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John: My father got so
angry last night at my mom, he hit the ceiling,
knocking large chunks
out.
Ted: Wow!
John: Yeah... it was the first time he
got plastered without even going
out.
~~~~~~~~~~~
We bought my mother a
remote car starter that also opened the door locks at the press of a button. We
left her car at the shop to have the system installed. That evening the
technician called. He said the installation was almost complete but they had run
into a little problem-they had locked the keys in the
car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The waitress at the upscale restuarant kept
starring at the leading man
every time she brought him another dinner
course.
"Say, she finally said, "don't I know you from
somewhere?"
The leading actor was coy. "Possibly you've seen me in the
movies," he
replied.
"Maybe," she said thoughtfully. "Where do you
usually sit?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My son fell through the
ceiling while he was working in the attic, and my four-year-old grandson, Nick,
invited everyone who came to the door to see what his Dad had done. Finally my
son said, "You can tell Grandma and Grandpa and relatives, but you don't need to
tell everyone about it!" When the repairman arrived, Nick followed him and his
dad to the hall. Nick looked up at the ceiling and said, "You know, that hole is
just about the size of my dad."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The district
attorney was cross-examining the murderess on the witness
stand.
"And
so after you had poisoned the coffee and your husband sat at the
breakfast
table partaking of the fatal dosage, didn't you feel any
qualms? Didn't you
feel the slightest pity for him knowing that he was
about to die and was
wholly unconscious of it? As you sat there...
didn't you feel for him at
all?"
"Yes," she answered. "Come to thik of it...there was just a tiny
moment
when I sort of felt sorry for him."
"And, when was
that?"
"When he asked for his third
cup."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I would like
some vitamins for my son," the blonde mom said as she walked into the
pharmacy.
"Vitamins A, B, or C?" asks the pharmacist.
"It doesn't
matter, he can't read
yet."

?????????????????,OOPS
I got my first
job as a graduate nurse in a rural hospital and I was
eager to apply all my
new knowledge and skills. One day I was sent to
check the fetal heart rate of
one of our patients. I entered the room,
saw the young couple and remembered
that I was to involve the patient's
family when providing care. After
explaining my task, I asked the
husband if he'd like to listen to the baby's
heartbeat, too. They both
seemed uncomfortable as I looked from one blushing
face to the other.
"I'm not her husband!" the young man sputtered. "I'm the
minister."

SHE'S GOTTA BE
BLONDE
At the car dealership where I
work, we give our customers a heat deflector-a screen that covers the windshield
- as a token of our appreciation for their patronage. "Here are your keys and a
deflector for the windshield," our serviceman said to one client. The young lady
went out to the parking lot, but ten minutes later she was back. "I'd like a
smaller deflector," she said. Told there was only one size, she asked, "But how
am I supposed to drive if I can't see the
road?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friend's daughter, Nancy, found a baby
tooth that her kitten had lost. She and her sister decided that they could put
one over on the tooth fairy. That night they placed the tooth under Nancy's
pillow. And it worked. But the tooth fairy left a can of
sardines.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SOMETIMES IT'S BOTH
An elderly
gentleman was reading his recovery-room record at the hospital where I work. He
looked quite concerned at one notation. "I know I was in a bit of a muddle, but
I didn't realize I was that bad," he said to me apologetically. "I hope I didn't
offend anyone." He was greatly relieved when I explained the acronym in question
meant "short of breath" and not what he
thought.

PLOP
Poor Johnson had spent his life
making wrong decisions. If he bet on a
horse, it would lose; if he chose one
elevator rather than another, it
was the one he chose that stalled between
floors; the line he picked
before the bank teller's cage never moved; the
lane he chose in traffic
crawled; the day he picked the picnic was the day of
a cloudburst; and
so it went, day after day, year after year.
Then,
once, it became necessary for Johnson to travel to some city a
thousand miles
away and do it quickly. A plane was the only possible
conveyance that would
get him there in time, and it turned out that only
one company supplied only
one flight that would do. His heart bounded.
There was no choice to make! And
if he made no choice, surely he could
come to no grief.
He took the
plane.
Imagine his horror when, midway in the flight, the plane's
engines
caught fire and it became obvious the plane would crash in
moments.
Johnson broke into fervent prayer to his favorite saint , Saint
Francis.
He pleaded, "I have never in my life made the right choice. Why
this
should be, I don't know, but I have borne my cross and have
not
complained. On this occasion, however, I did not make a choice; this
was
the only plane I could take and I had to take it. Why, then, am I
being
punished?"
He had no sooner finished when a giant hand swooped
down out of the
clouds and somehow snatched him from the plane. There he
was,
miraculously suspended two miles above the earth's surface, while
the
plane spiraled downward far below.
A heavenly voice came down from
the clouds. "My son, I can save you, if
you have in truth called upon
me."
"Yes, I called on you," cried Johnson. "I called on you, Saint
Francis!"
"Ah," said the heavenly voice, "Saint Francis Xavier or Saint
Francis of
Assisi. Which?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A bishop was sitting in a
doctor's waiting room when a red-faced and
sobbing nun rushed out of the
doctor's exam room. The bishop charges
into the exam room and demanded to
know what the doctor had done.
"I told her she was pregnant." the doctor
replied, matter of factly.
"That's crazy! That can't be true!" said the
outraged bishop. "Why would
you ever tell her something like
that?"
"Well, it cured her hiccups."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
man walks into a shoe store, and tries on a pair of shoes.
"How do they
feel?" asks the sales clerk.
"Well they feel a bit tight," replies the
man.
The assistant promptly bends down and has a look at the shoes and at
the
man's feet.
"Try pulling the tongue out. That should help." the
clerk says.
"Well, theyth sthill feelth a bith
tighth."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man absolutely hated his wife's cat
and decided to get rid of him one
day by driving him 20 blocks from his home
and leaving him at the park.
As he was getting home, the cat was walking
up the driveway.
The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away.
He put the
beast out and headed home.
Driving back up his driveway,
there was the cat!
He kept taking the cat further and further and the cat
would always beat
him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away,
turn right, then
left, past the bridge, then right again and another right
until he
reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left
the
cat there.
Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is
the cat there?"
"Yes", the wife answers, "why do you
ask?"
Frustrated, the man answered, "Put that it on the phone, I'm lost
and
need directions!"

Dieting may help treat bulimia
NEW
YORK, - An Oregon researcher says dieting may actually
improve
some eating-disorder symptoms. Eric Stice, a senior
scientist at
the Oregon Research Institute, looked at 82
young women who had
symptoms of bulimia. He asked 41 to
diet in a healthy way, while
the others were told to await
treatment. The dieters lost weight
compared with the control
group and showed fewer symptoms of
bulimia, The Wall Street
Journal reported. Another Stice study,
published in April
in the journal Health Psychology, found that
out of 139
teenage girls with symptoms of bulimia, those who
success-
fully lost weight on their own showed decreases in
eating-
disorder symptoms over a one-year period. A
National
Institutes of Health task force conducted a review in
2000
of previously published studies and found little
evidence
that dieting caused binge eating in overweight adults,
the
newspaper said.
Vitamin C fails to prevent colds
LONDON, -- Vitamin C does nothing to prevent the common
cold but may shorten its duration, Australian and Finnish
researchers say in their analysis of 55 studies. The 1970s
book, "Vitamin C and the Common Cold," by Nobel Prize-win-
ning chemist Linus Pauling sparked interest in the supple-
ment that has grown to a more than $600 million annual
business in Britain, the Times of London reported. However,
researchers Robert Douglas of Australian National University
and Harri Hemila of the University of Helsinki said people
who took up to 2 grams of Vitamin C daily caught colds at
the same rate as people who took a placebo. The result
"throws doubt on the utility of this wide practice," the
authors said in the journal Public Library of Science
Medicine. One study found that very large doses of Vitamin
C
-- 8 grams -- taken on the first day of a cold appeared
to
shorten how long it lasts. Those results are "tantaliz-
ing and
deserve further investigation," the researchers
said.
Obesity-related
healthcare costs soar
ATLANTA, -- A new study says
healthcare costs related to
obesity-linked illnesses such as
diabetes, heart disease
and high cholesterol are soaring.
Employers and privately
insured families spent $36.5 billion on
obesity-linked
illnesses in 2002, up from an inflation-adjusted
$3.6
billion in 1987, said USA Today. The study, published
in
Health Affairs, an online journal of health policy
and
research, found that treating an obese person cost
an
average of $1,244 more in 2002 than treating a
healthy-
weight person. In 1987, the gap was $272. Lead
author
Kenneth Thorpe, chairman of the department of
health
policy and management at Emory University in Atlanta,
said
the obesity problem is "only going to get worse." He
said,
"The costs are up because so many more Americans are
obese
and because they're being more aggressively treated
for
weight-related illnesses." The report said about 31
per-
cent off U.S. adults are considered obese.

FINDING A FOREVER
HOME
By,
Kathleene S. Baker
Early one morn' when a
tiny pup,
My Mama wept out of control.
With teary eyes she cried, and
said,
"Today you're being sold."
Still whimpering, she
promised,
"You'll have a `great life' little boy.
Very soon you'll forget
about us,
And be someone's pride and joy."
She said,
"You're off to a `forever home,'
`Cause that's what fur babies do.
That's
Mother Nature's plan for pups,
You'll be loved and cared for too."
But
I was only six weeks old,
Way too young to be on my own.
I needed my Mama
and littermates.
I trembled, cried, and moaned.
Those new people were
never home.
If they loved me, it didn't show.
Alone in a cage, I cried all
day,
And the hours crept by so slow.
Within a few days we took a
trip,
I was dumped where homeless dogs stay.
As I searched their eyes for
answers,
They just turned and walked away.
I had been good, even
though afraid,
And wondered, "what did I do wrong?"
A baby schnauzer needs
lots of love,
And to feel they really belong.
Three whole weeks I
bounced around,
As confused as a pup could be.
It wasn't like Mama
promised at all,
A "great life" wasn't meant for me.
Every day I woke
up scared,
Would I move again today?
Why couldn't anyone love me?
They
just kept throwing me away.
Finally two more people arrived,
I sensed
only warmth this time.
They scooped me up and kissed me,
And said, "now
your life will be divine."
They took me to a wonderful home,
With
another doggy and tons of toys.
They say I'm called a rescue dog,
But
mainly I'm a much-loved boy.
At last my "great life" has begun,
And no
more will my heart ache.
We snuggle close in bed at night,
And I get
kisses when I wake.
My heart smiles in my "forever home,"
And
love sparkles in my people's eyes.
I'm only touched with gentle hands,
And
baby Hank never, ever cries.

The Perfect Potato for Potato
Salads
Don't overlook the most essential part of
your potato salad:
the potatoes themselves! While Russets are
still by far the
most commonly used variety of potato, consider
mixing it up
a little.
There are several
high-moisture varieties with a texture
that many people refer to
as 'waxy'. Among these varieties
are Yellow Finns, Yukon Golds,
and red potatoes. Their high
moisture means that they have a
more pleasant texture when
they are cold, and their waxier flesh
holds up better to
chopping and to tossing with dressing than
that of the drier,
more mealy Russets.
However, your salad will be outstanding no matter which
variety you choose, as long as you cook the potatoes care-
fully.
If you wish to add a little extra color and
texture to your
salad, leave the skins on the potatoes. Just be
sure to
scrub them thoroughly before you begin; 'gritty' is
one
texture that nobody likes in their food!
**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT
****
Was Shakespeare gay?
 I don't think there are enough written sources about Shakespeare and his life to answer that
question for sure. It is known that he had a wife and three children, one of
whom died young (possibly the reason why he started putting ghosts in his
plays). Because of his work, though, he probably wasn't at home much. Whether he
engaged in physical relations with other men, or whether he had any
preferences/desires outside of his traditional heterosexual marriage is anyone's
guess. It is true that his entire troupe of actors would have been male, because
in his day females could not take the stage and men played both male and female
roles. So he certainly spent lots of time with men, but that doesn't make him
gay. I doubt we'll ever see clear proof either way. People just like to
speculate, since we know very little about the man and it's tempting to try to
"discover" him by reading and analyzing his plays.
There's a famous
portrait of him where he's wearing an earring. I remember my Shakespeare
professor saying that it caused some people to raise this very question, but
that it was just a fashion statement from that time period and didn't suggest
anything about his sexual preferences. I've seen portraits of the Kings of
France wearing similar earrings... and while one of them was quite possibly gay
from all we know about him, I doubt that three of them in a row were.
