Check your clocks...

A message heard over the military radio near Hawaii...
Welcome back to DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME...
For all you civilian employees the time is now 4:30.

For you guys in the Army and Air Force bands that’s 1630 hours.

For you guys in the Navy band that’s 8 Bells.

For you Marine musicians……..the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is right in between the 4 and 5.

*my apologies to any of you 'Semper Fi' veterans...it's only a joke...and if you're upset, please call before coming over to the house*

The winner

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants. The race began but no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. Some in the crowd began yelling:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one, except for a brave few, who were climbing higher and higher.

The crowd continued to yell, "It's too difficult!!! You'll never make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up. But one continued higher and higher and higher. He just wouldn't give up!

At the end all the other tiny frogs, had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a huge effort, was the only one who reached the top!

All of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it. A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal.

It turned out that the winner was deaf.

Saxophonist's problem...

Two saxophone players in Texas, each had their own horse, but they could never tell them apart. So the first saxophone player said, "I've got it!"

He said: "I'll shave the mane on my horse."So the one saxophone player shaves the mane on his horse.

But after a while the mane grew back. The saxophone players are once again having a really hard time telling them apart. Then the one saxophone player said, “I’ve got a better idea.” “What’s your idea now?” says the other.

"I'll cut the tail on my horse really small.."

"Alright! Let's do it!" So he cut the tail really short. But after a while it grew back.

Then the second saxophone player said, "Let’s try something different! You take the black one and I'll take white one!!!!"

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.

When asked to define "great" he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

Marriage advice

RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE!!!

1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California , and mine is in Texas.

3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. 'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said. So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker.
She said 'There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!' So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, 'In the lake.'

8. She got a mud pack, and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, 'Am I too late for the garbage?' The driver said, 'No, jump in!'

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always.'

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, 'What's on the TV?'
I said, 'Dust!'


Can't you just hear him say all of these? I love it. These were the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun....

And he always ended his programs with the words, 'God Bless.'

"Punctuation - #101"

The Importance of Correct Punctuation
Here are 2 "Dear John" letters.
With a few changes in punctuation, the meaning is completely different.
"The second letter is very much like the ones I have received many times!)
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?
Gloria

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you.
Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever.
When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,
Gloria

Male and female brains...the true difference

Here's a truly hillarious video by Mark Gungor.
It's 5:27 and the title is 'male and female brains' from: 'Tale of Two Brains.'
I LOVED IT!

"Hot air"

A handwritten sign under a hair dryer at a local business...

"Please push button and wait for a message from our C.E.O."

I was just wondering...

Do vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Football is bad...

Teaching a two-year-old

The two-year-old toddler scared everyone one summer by disappearing during a lakeside vacation. More than a dozen relatives searched the forest and shoreline, and everyone was relieved when they found Matthew playing calmly in the woods.

"Listen to me!" his mother said sharply. "From now on when you want to go someplace, you tell Mommy first, okay?"

Matthew thought about that for a moment and said, "Okay, Disney World."

I'll do anything!

A student comes to a young professor's office after hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, and kneels pleadingly.

"I would do anything to pass this exam," she says.
She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, and gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean," she whispers, "I would do anything..."

He returns her gaze, "Anything?"
"Anything."

His voice softens, "Anything?"
"Anything," she repeats again.

His voice turns to a whisper... "Would you ... study?"

"Technology"

"To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so."
-- Robert Orben




"Life is an unbroken succession of false situations."
-- Thornton Wilder




"Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand."

TAKING ADVICE...
The U.S. auto industry taking advice from the U.S. Congress in order to make a profit...











is kinda like professional football taking advice from the Detroit Lions in order to win.

My paranoia

THANKS TO THE INTERNET...

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about poison in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl
(Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the
1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl into my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be nicked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites me.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this article to at least 144,000 people in the next 63 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician...

Have a wonderful day....

Oh, by the way.....A South American scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their email with their hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now; it's too late.
