Men...
One night a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib.
Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant,
she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight,
amazement, enchantment, skepticism.

Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes
glistening she slipped her arm around her husband. "A penny for your
thoughts," she said.

"It's amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib
like that for only $46.50."

Why did the chicken cross the road?
KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.
PLATO: For the greater good.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.
KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.
TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would
let it take.
SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were
quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone
before.
HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you see, represents the black man. The
chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him
down.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will
be free to cross roads without having their motives called into
question.

FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many
more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?
RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the
chicken did NOT cross the road.
MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who
cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive
there was.
BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which
will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important
documents, and balance your checkbook.
OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the
road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time,
whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"
DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally
selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross
roads.
EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved
beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road ....it
transcended it.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

TITHE
Bumper sticker "TITHE if you love Jesus. Any fool can honk."
At a church meeting a very wealthy man rose to tell the rest of those present about his Christian faith. "I'm a millionaire," he said, "and I attribute it all to the rich blessings of God in my life. I remember that turning point in my faith. I had just earned my first dollar and I went to a church meeting that night. The speaker was a missionary who told about his work. I knew that I only had a dollar bill and had to either give it all to God's work or nothing at all. So at that moment I decided to give my whole dollar to God. I believe that God blessed that decision, and that is why I am a rich man today."

He finished and there was an awed silence at his testimony as he moved toward his seat. As he sat down a little old lady sitting in the same pew leaned over and said to him "I dare you to do it again."
from Maranatha Christian Journal
The "System"
Honorable Secretary of Agriculture
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir;
My friend, Ed Peterson, over at Wells, Iowa, received a check for $1,000 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 $422 in 1968, until this year when he got your check for $1000 for not raising hogs.
If I get $1000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2000 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 4000 hogs not raised, which will mean about $Click banner above for details.

the first year. Then I can afford an airplane.

See It! | Sitemap | Frequently Asked Questions | Benefits | Reviews | Home | 714-699-4462 | SHOP
Now another thing, these hogs I will not raise will not eat 30,000 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 4000 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,
P.S. Would you please notify me when you plan to distribute more free cheese.

Goldwynisms
Originally from: Stan Kegel <kegel@fea.net>

Samuel Goldwyn, the movie producer who founded Goldwyn Productions
and Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer was known for his misuse of the English
language. Here are some of my favorite Goldwynisms:

"An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on."
"Any man who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined."
"In two words, impossible."
"Include me out"
"I don't care if it (his new picture) doesn't make a nickel. I just
want every man woman and child in America to see it."

When Goldwyn's secretary asked him if she should destroy files that
were more than ten years old, he answered, "Yes, but keep copies."

"I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never
wrong."

"Tell them (the actors) to stand closer apart."

"If I were in this business only for the business, I wouldn't be in
this business."
"You fail to overlook the crucial point."
"For your information, just answer me one question!'
"It's absolutely impossible, but it has possibilities."

"Put it out of your mind. In no time, it will be a forgotten memory."
"Go see that turkey for yourself, and see for yourself why you
shouldn't see it."

"Can she sing? She's practically a Florence Nightingale."

"Give me a couple of years and I'll make that actress an overnight
success."

"True, I've been a long time making up my mind, but now I'm giving
you a definite answer. I won't say yes and I won't say no--but I'm
giving you a definite maybe."

PILOTS
One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are
seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get under
way.

The pilot and co-pilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and
begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to
be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right
and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the co-pilot is using a
guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses.

At first the passengers do not react, thinking that it must be some sort
of practical joke. However, after a few minutes the engines start, and
the airplane starts moving down the runway.

The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among
themselves and looking desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.

Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin
panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and
closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more
hysterical.

Finally, when the airplane has less than 20 feet of runway left, there
is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at
once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne.

Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to
the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to
scream, and we're gonna get killed!"

THE BARBER
After twenty years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small
Southern town decided he had had enough. He told his wife that he
intended to let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his hat
and coat and went to the barber shop, which was owned by the pastor
of the town's Baptist Church.

The barber's wife, Grace, was working that day, so she performed the
task. Grace shaved him and sprayed him with lilac water, and said,
"That will be $20." The man thought the price was a bit high, but he
paid the bill and went to work.

The next morning the man looked in the mirror, and his face was as
smooth as it had been when he left the barber shop the day before. Not
bad, he thought. At least I don't need to get a shave every day. The
next morning, the man's face was still smooth. Two weeks later, the
man was still unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face.

It was more than he could take, so he returned to the barber shop. "I
thought $20 was high for a shave", he told the barber's wife, "But you
must have done a great job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still
haven't started growing back." Expecting his comment, the expression
on her face didn't even change. She responded, "You were shaved by
Grace. Once shaved, always shaved."

The Parrot
David received a parrot as a gift. This parrot was fully grown with a
bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive.
Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least rude.

David tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly
saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to
try and set a good example. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the
bird got worse. He shook the bird and the bird got more angry and more rude.

Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the
freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawking, kicking, and
screaming, then suddenly there was quiet.

David was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly
opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto David's extended
arm and said, "I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my language
and action and I ask your forgiveness. In the future I will endeavor
to correct my behavior."

David was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to
ask what had made such a dramatic change when the parrot continued:
"Umm, may I ask what the chicken did?"

OK, this one isn't FUNNY. But, I bet you'll find use for it...
BIG ROCKS
A while back I was reading about an expert on subject of
time management. One day this expert was speaking to a
group of business students and, to drive home a point,
used an illustration those students will never forget.
As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered
overachievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz."
Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed
mason jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he
produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully
placed them, one at a time, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would
fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?"
Everyone in the class said, "Yes."
Then he said, "Really?" He reached under the table and
pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel
in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work
themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.
Then he asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?"
By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not,"
one of them answered. "Good!" he replied.
He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand.
He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the
spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more
he asked the question, "Is this jar full?"
"No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!"
Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in
until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked up at
the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"

One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is,
no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really
hard, you can always fit some more things into it!"
"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The
truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put
the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."
What are the 'big rocks' in your life?
A project that YOU want to accomplish? Time with your loved
ones? Your faith, your education, your finances? A cause?
Teaching or mentoring others?

Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them
in at all. ---
So, tonight or in the morning when you are reflecting on this
short story, ask yourself this question: What are the 'big
rocks' in my life or business? Then, put those in your jar first.

Are you ready to be a parent?

Preparation for parenthood is not just a matter of reading books and
decorating the nursery. Here are 12 simple tests for expectant
parents to take to prepare themselves for the real life experience of
being a mother or father.

1. Women: To prepare for maternity, put on a dressing gown and stick
a beanbag chair down the front. Leave it there for nine months. After
nine months, remove 10% of the beans.

Men: To prepare for paternity, go the local drug store, tip the
contents of your wallet on the counter, and tell the pharmacist to
help himself. Next, go to the supermarket. Arrange to have your
salary paid directly to its head office. Go home. Pick up the paper
and read it for the last time.

2. Before you finally go ahead and have children, find a couple who
are already parents and berate them about their methods of
discipline, lack of patience, appallingly low tolerance levels, and
how they have allowed their children to run wild. Suggest ways in
which they might improve their child's sleeping habits, toilet
training, table manners, and overall behavior. Enjoy it -- it's the
last time in your life that you will have all the answers.

3. To discover how the nights feel, walk around the living room from
5 p.m. until 10 p.m. carrying a wet bag weighing approximately 8-12
pounds. At 10 p.m. put the bag down, set the alarm for midnight, and
go to sleep. Get up at 12 a.m. and walk around the living room again
with the bag until 1 a.m. Put the alarm on for 3 a.m. Since you can't
go back to sleep, get up at 2 a.m. and make a pot of tea. Go to bed
at 2:45 a.m. Get up again at 3 a.m. when the alarm goes off, sing
songs in the dark until 4 a.m. Put the alarm on for 5 a.m. Get up.

Make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

4. Can you stand the mess children make? To find out, smear peanut
butter onto the sofa and jam onto the curtains. Hide a fish stick
behind the stereo and leave it there all summer. Stick your fingers
in the flowerbeds then rub them on the clean walls. Cover the stains
with crayons. How does that look?

5. Dressing small children is not as easy as it seems: first buy an
octopus and a string bag. Attempt to put the octopus into the string
bag so that none of the arms hang out. Time allowed for this--all
morning.

6. Get an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and a can of paint,
turn it into an alligator. Now get a toilet paper tube. Using only
scotch tape and a piece of foil, turn it into a Christmas tree. Last,
take a milk container, a ping pong ball, and an empty packet of CoCo
Puffs and make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower. Congratulations,
you have just qualified for a place on the play group committee.

7. Forget the Miata and buy the mini-van. And don't think you can
leave it out in the driveway spotless and shining. Family cars don't
look like that. Buy a chocolate ice cream bar and put it in the glove
compartment. Leave it there. Get a quarter. Stick it in the cassette
player. Take a family-size bag of chocolate cookies. Mash them down
the back seats. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There!
Perfect! (to be continued after this...)

8. Get ready to go out. Wait outside the toilet for half an hour. Go
out the front door. Come in again. Go out. Come back in. Go out
again. Walk down the front path. Walk back up it again. Walk down it
again. Walk very slowly down the road for 5 minutes. Stop to inspect
minutely every cigarette butt, piece of used chewing gum, dirty
tissue, and dead insect along the way. Retrace your steps. Scream
that you've had as much as you can stand until all the neighbors come
out and stare at you. Give up and go back in the house. You're now
just about ready to try taking a small child for a walk.

9. Always repeat everything you say at least five times.

10. Go to your local supermarket. Take the nearest thing you can find
to a pre-school child with you. A fully grown goat is excellent. If
you intend to have more than one child, take more than one goat. Buy
your week's groceries without letting the goats out of your sight.
Pay for everything the goats eat or destroy. Until you can easily
accomplish this DO NOT even contemplate having children.

11. Hollow out a melon. Make a small hole in the side. Suspend it
from the ceiling and swing it from the ceiling and swing it from side
to side. Now get a bowl of soggy Fruit Loops and attempt to spoon it
into the hole of the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane.
Continue until half of the Fruit Loops are gone. Tip the rest into
your lap, making sure that a lot of it falls on the floor. You are
now ready to feed a 12-month old child.

12. Learn the names of every character from 'Barney and Friends' and
'Sesame street'. When you find yourself singing, "I love you, you
love me" at work, you finally qualify as a parent.

Thanx to Giggle's Humor List.

George Washington
"George Washington, did YOU chop down the cherry tree?"

"No, Dad."

"I think you are lying."

"No, no, no! I swear I did NOT chop down the cherry tree."

"Son, I saw you out here with your axe. Your punishment will be much
worse for you if you lie. Now, tell me the truth!"

"Dad, I answered your question truthfully. Still, I must take complete
responsibility for all my actions. While my answer was legally
accurate, I did not volunteer information.

"Indeed, Dad, I did cause the cherry tree to be lying on the ground.
To do this was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a
personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.

"I know my answer to you gave a false impression. I misled you, my own
father. I deeply regret that.

"I can only tell you I was motivated by many factors. First, by a
desire to protect myself from the embarrassment of my own conduct.

"I was also very concerned about protecting Mom from this shock.

"What I did, Dad, was use a saw to cause the cherry tree to fall. Only
after the tree was already down did I go get my axe to chop off individual
branches.

So, I chopped off branches, but sawed down the tree. Look at the saw
cut on the stump and the axe cuts on the branches. Therefore, legally, I
told the truth.

"I ask you to turn away from the spectacle of this fallen tree and to
return our attention to a solid family relationship."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@
AIRPLANE SAFETY "As we prepare for takeoff, please make sure your tray tables and seat backs are fully upright in their most uncomfortable position."
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."
"Your seat cushions can be used for floatation and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."
"Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."
"This aircraft is equipped with a video surveillance system that monitors the cabin during taxiing. Any passengers not remaining in their seats until the aircraft comes to a full and complete stop at the gate will be strip-searched as they leave the aircraft."
"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children or adults acting like children."
"To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt, and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."
THE SMOKING SECTION
"We do feature a smoking section on this flight. If you must smoke, contact a member of the flight crew and we will escort you to the wing of the airplane."
"Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately."
ROUGH LANDINGS
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker "Whoa, big fella ... WHOA!"
An announcement made by the head flight attendant after landing "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendants' fault. It was the asphalt!"
An airline pilot tells us that on a particular flight, he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy that required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, giving them a smile and a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"
On a flight into Amarillo, Texas, after an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
Another flight attendant's comment on a less-than-perfect landing "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
GREAT EXIT LINES
"As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
"Last one off the plane must clean it."
