I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people

die of natural causes.

Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a
replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one
talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

Whenever I feel blue, I start breath ing again

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world
is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a
whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

The ONLY Smart Poodle

2006-07-25T11:49:00.000-07:00

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safariin Africa. She takes her faithful pet poodle along forcompany. One day, the poodle starts chasing butterflies andbefore long discovers that he is lost.

Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in hisdirection with the obvious intention of having lunch. The poodle thinks, "I'm in deep trouble now!" Then he notices some bones on the ground close by,and immediately settles down to chew on them with hisback to the approaching cat.

Just as the leopard isabout to leap, the poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here."

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack inmid-stride, and a look of terror comes over him as heslinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the leopard. "That was close! That poodle nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey watching the whole scene from anearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to gooduse and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans, and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"

Now the poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get within earshot the poodle says...

"Where's that monkey?! I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

Black Robbers

2006-07-25T11:43:00.000-07:00

For anyone who didn't see David Letterman's take on this: (And it's a true story...)

On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of quarters at a slot machine. She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the hotel dining room. But first she wanted to stash the quarters in her room. "I'll be right back and we'll go to eat," she told her husband and carried the coin-laden bucket to the elevator.

As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard. Both were black. One of them was tall...very tall...an intimidating figure. The woman froze. Her first thought was: These two are going to rob me. Her next thought was: Don't be a bigot; they look like perfectly nice gentlemen. But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her. She stood and stared at the two men. She felt anxious, flustered and ashamed. She hoped they didn't read her mind but gosh, they had to know what she was thinking!!!

Her hesitation about joining them in the elevator was all too obvious now. Her face was flushed. She couldn't just stand there, so with a mighty effort of will she picked up one foot and stepped forward and followed with the other foot and was on the elevator. Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed. A second passed, and then another second, and then another. Her fear increased! The elevator didn't move. Panic consumed her. My God, she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed! Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore.

Then one of the men said, "Hit the floor." Instinct told her to do what they told her. The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her. Take my money and spare me, she prayed. More seconds passed. She heard one of the men say politely, "Ma'am, if you'll just tell us what floor you're going to, we'll push the button."

The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up. Confused, she struggled to her feet. "When I told my friend here to hit the floor," said the average sized one, "I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't mean for you to hit the floor, ma'am." He spoke genially. He bit his lip. It was obvious he was having
a hard time not laughing. The woman thought: My God, what a spectacle I've made of myself. She was too humiliated to speak. She wanted to blurt out an apology, but words failed her. How do you apologize to two perfectly respectable gentlemen for behaving as though they were going to rob you? She didn't know what to say. The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket. When the elevator arrived at her floor they then insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor. At her door they bid her a good evening. As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator. The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her
husband.

The next morning flowers were delivered to her room - a dozen roses. Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred dollar bill.

The card said: "Thanks for the best laugh we've had in years."

It was signed;

The Great Midwest

2006-07-25T11:26:00.000-07:00

There have been some misunderstandings that frequentlydevelop when Easterners and Californians cross thestates of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,Nebraska, Oklahoma, North & South Dakota, andWisconsin. As a result the Midwest Tourism Councilshave adopted the following recommendations, in aneffort to help outsiders understand the ruralMidwesterner's mind. The following list will be madeavailable at Roadside Rest Stops, Airports, TrainStations, and Bus Stops across the Midwestern States.

1. That slope shouldered farm boy did more work beforebreakfast than you will do all week at the gym. Please reserve your condemnation!

2. It's called a 'gravel road'. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Navigator. We have a four wheel drive because we need them. Drive yours or get it out of the way.

3. We started hunting and fishing when we were five years old. Yes, we saw Bambi and we got over it.

4. Any references to 'corn fed' when talking about our women will get you whipped . . . by our women.

5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don'tcry to us if a flathead breaks it off at the handle.We have a name for those 13 inch Trout you fish for...bait.

6. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at that time. Can you say 'skeet'?

8. No, there's no "vegetarian special' on the menu. Order a steak and order it rare. Or, you can order theChef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.

9. Yes, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon.

10. You may bring Coke into my house, but it had better be brown, wet and served over ice!

11. So you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have quarter of a million dollar combine that we only use two weeks a year.

12. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. Please be prepared, we may even stop when it's yellow.

13. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.

14. Yes, we eat catfish, carp, and turtle too. If you really want sushi and caviar, they are available at the bait shop.

15. They're pigs! That's what they smell like! Get used to it!

16. The 'opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday and you can get breakfast at the church.

17. So every person in every pickup waves? It's called being friendly. Please try to understand and accept the concept.

18. Yes, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the waterhazards! It spooks the fish.

19. If there is anything that you didn't like about any of these statements, then: Interstates 44, 64, 70, 80, 90, and 94 go East and West. Interstates 29, 35, 55 and 57 go North and South. Take your pick!

Ya'll come back now, hear!

Christians and Light Bulbs

2006-07-25T11:16:00.000-07:00

**Note** I know that not all of these denominations are considered "Christian," but I thought they were worth a good laugh. I hope nobody gets offended.

How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

Charismatics: Only one. Hands already in the air.

Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.

Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad.

Episcopalians: Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.

Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

Amish: What's a light bulb?

Why Men Love Being Men

2006-07-22T16:01:00.000-07:00

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from
such simple creatures?  Your last name stays put. The garage
is all yours. Wedding plans take care  of themselves.
Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You
can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a
water park. You can  wear NO shirt to a water park. Car
mechanics tell you the truth. The world  is your urinal. You
never have to drive to another gas station restroom  because
this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think
of which  way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles add character.  Wedding dress $5000. Tux
rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when  you're
ta lking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is
practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or
mangle your feet. One mood all the time.

   
Phone  conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know
stuff about tanks. A  five-day vacation requires only one
suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra
credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If  someone
forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.



Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of
shoes are more than  enough. You almost never have strap
problems in public. You are unable to  see wrinkles in your
clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only
have to  shave your face and neck.



You  can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually
hides your big hips.  One wallet and one pair of shoes --
one color for all seasons. You can wear  shorts no matter
how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket
knife You have freedom of choice concerning growing a
mustache..



You  can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December
24 in 25  minutes.



No  wonder men are happier.

A Wife's Request

2006-07-20T14:06:00.000-07:00

I was sitting alone in one of those loud, casual steak houses that you find all over the country. You know the type--a bucket of peanuts on every table, shells littering the floor, and a bunch of perky college kids racing around with long neck beers and sizzling platters. Taking a sip of my iced tea, I studied the crowd over the rim of my glass. My gaze lingered on a group enjoying their meal. They wore no uniform to identify their branch of service, but they were definitely "military:" clean shaven, cropped haircut, and that "squared away" look that comes with pride.
Smiling sadly, I glanced across my table to the empty seat where my husband usually sat. It had only been a few months since we sat in this very booth, talking about his upcoming deployment to the Middle East. That was when he made me promise to get a sitter for the kids, come back to this restaurant once a month and treat myself to a nice steak. In turn he would treasure the thought of me being here, thinking about him until he returned home I fingered the little flag pin I constantly wear and wondered where he was at this very moment.
Was he safe and warm?? Was his cold any better?? Were my letters getting through to him? As I pondered these thoughts, high pitched female voices from the nextbooth broke into my thoughts.
"I don't know what Bush is thinking about. Invading Iraq. You'd think that man would learn from his old man's mistakes. Good lord. What an idiot!? I can't believe he is even in office. You do know, he stole the election."
I cut into my steak and tried to ignore them, as they began an endless tirade running down our president. I thought about the last night I spent with my husband, as he prepared to deploy. He had just returned from getting his smallpox and anthrax shots. The image of him standing in our kitchen packing his gas mask still gives me chills.
Once again the women's voices invaded my thoughts. "It is all about oil, you know. Our soldiers will go in and rape and steal all the oil they can in the name of 'freedom'. Hmmm! I wonder how many innocent people they'll kill without giving it a thought?? It's pure greed, you know."
My chest tightened as I stared at my wedding ring. I could still see how handsome my husband looked in his "mess dress" the day he slipped it on my finger. I wondered what he was wearing now. Probably his desert uniform, affectionately dubbed "coffee stains" with a heavy bulletproof vest over it.
"You know, we should just leave Iraq alone. I don't think they are hiding any weapons. In fact, I bet it's all a big act just to increase the president's popularity. That's all it is, padding the military budget at the expense of our social security and education. And, you know what else?We're just asking for another 9-11. I can't say when it happens again that we didn't deserve it."
Their words brought to mind the war protesters I had watched gathering outside our base. Did no one appreciate the sacrifice of brave men and women, who leave their homes and family to ensure our freedom?? Do they even know what "freedom" is?
I glanced at the table where the young men were sitting, and saw their courageous faces change. They had stopped eating and looked at each other dejectedly, listening to the women talking.
"Well, I, for one, think it's just deplorable to invade Iraq, and I am certainly sick of our tax dollars going to train professional baby-killers we call a military."
Professional baby-killers?? I thought about what a wonderful father my husband is, and of how long it would be before he would see our children again.
That's it! Indignation rose up inside me. Normally reserved, pride in my husband gave me a brassy boldness I never realized I had. Tonight one voice will answer on behalf of our military, and let her pride in our troops be known.
Sliding out of my booth, I walked around to the adjoining booth and placed my hands flat on their table. Lowering myself to eye level with them, smilingly said, "I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. You see, I'm sitting here trying to enjoy my dinner alone. And, do you know why? Because my husband, whom I love with all my heart, is halfway around the world defending your right to say rotten things about him."
"Yes, you have the right to your opinion, and what you think is none of my business. However, what you say in public is something else, and I will not sit by and listen to you ridicule MY country, MY president, MY husband, and all the other fine American men and women who put their lives on the line, just so you can have the "freedom" to complain. Freedom is an expensive commodity, ladies. Don't let your actions cheapen it."
I must have been louder than I meant to be, because the manager came over to inquire if everything was all right. "Yes, thank you," I replied. Then, turning back to the women, I said, "Enjoy the rest of your meal."
As I returned to my booth applause broke out. I was embarrassed for making a scene, and went back to my half eaten steak. The women picked up their check and scurried away.
After finishing my meal, and while waiting for my check, the manager returned with a huge apple cobbler ala mode. "Compliments of those soldiers," he said. He also smiled and said the ladies tried to pay for my dinner, but that another couple had beaten them to it. When I asked who, the manager said they had already left, but that the gentleman was a veteran, and wanted to take care of the wife of "one of our boys." With a lump in my throat, I gratefully turned to the soldiers and thanked them for the cobbler.
Grinning from ear to ear, they came over and surrounded the booth. "We just wanted to thank you, ma'am. You know we can't get into confrontations with civilians, so we appreciate what you did."
As I drove home, for the first time since my husband's deployment, I didn't feel quite so alone. My heart was filled with the warmth of the other diners who stopped by my table, to relate how they, too, were proud of my husband, and would keep him in their prayers. I knew their flags would fly a little higher the next day.
Perhaps they would look for more tangible ways to show their pride in our country, and the military who protect her. And maybe, just maybe, the two women who were railing against our country, would pause for a minute to appreciate all the freedom America offers, and the price it pays to maintain it's freedom.
As for me, I have learned that one voice CAN make a difference.
Maybe the next time protesters gather outside the gates of the base where I live, I will proudly stand on the opposite side with a sign of my own. It will simply say, "Thank You!" To those who fought for our Nation: Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders.

Cowboy Kenny

2006-07-20T14:01:00.000-07:00

A young Cowboy named Kenny moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The following day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me back my money."
The farmer said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that. I spent it."
Kenny said, "OK. Just bring me the dead donkey."
The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with him?"
Kenny answered, "I"m going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny responded, "Sure I can. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny answered, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.00."
The farmer asked, "Did anyone complain?"
Kenny said, "Just the guy who won, so I gave him back his two dollars." Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron

Cell Phones and Bibles

2006-07-20T13:53:00.000-07:00

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell
phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive messages from the 'text'?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it as we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?

This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we dont ever have to worry
about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the
bill!

Work

2006-07-20T13:26:00.000-07:00

Okay. I know that a lot of you already have full- or part-time jobs, but this is a big deal for me. I have a "job" volunteering at the library. I work on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours. Big deal, right? Well, when you're sitting behind a desk for two hours and have nothing to do, it gets pretty miserable. Trust me.

So, I brought my complaint to my aunt, who works as a dental assistant. She just looked at me and said, "You think working four hours a week is bad?! What's your problem?! You get the rest of the week off! You just wait, girly, until you have a full-time job. Tell me how bad four hours is after that."

Well, I have to say that she DOES have a point, but when I start getting PAID to do what I do, I think I'll pipe down a bit. :-)

Why Go to Church?

2006-07-18T12:26:00.000-07:00

Why go to Church? (This is good) If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this .. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"

When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!

When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?"
