   An older lady gets pulled over for speeding...
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have
one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk
driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle
registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked
up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic
bags in thetrunk if you want to see.

The Officer looks at the woman and slowly
backs away to his car and calls for back up.

Within minutes 5
police cars circle the car.


A senior officer slowly

approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your
vehicle please! The woman steps out of her
vehicle.

Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that
you have stolen this car and murdered the
owner.

Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the
trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing
nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the
registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims
that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and
pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to
the officer.  The officer examines the license. He
looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of
my officers told me you didn't have
a license, that you stole this car, and
that you murdered and hacked up
the owner.

Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I
was speeding, too.

MORAL:
Don't Mess With Older More Mature Women!

The very first ever Blonde GUY joke..... And well worth the wait!

An Irishman, a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on
scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage!
If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to
jump off this building."

The Mexican op ened his lunch box and exclaimed,
"Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

The blond opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again!
If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and
cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death
as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known
how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have
given it to him again!"

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or
enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."

(Oh this is GOOD!!)

Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife.

The blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch."

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN
 

 The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He
 is at  the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates
are closed,  and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.

 St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you.
We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is
 filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you
can get into Heaven."
 
Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir.
But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test
 ain't too  hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
 St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three
 questions.

 First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
 Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"

 Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next
day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that
 you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your
answers." Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the
week begins with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be
Today and  Tomorrow."

 The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is
not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not
 specify, so I will give you credit for that answer.
How about the next one?" asked  St. Peter.

 "How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder," replied
 Forrest,  but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only
answer can be twelve."

 Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in
Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

 Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd,
February 2nd, March 2nd... "

 "Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this,
and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in
mind....but I  will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us
 go on with the third  and final
 question. Can you tell me God's first name"?
 
"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."
 "Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
 "Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my
first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the  name
 Andy  as the first name of God?"

 "Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I
 learnt it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME,
ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN. . "

 St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."

HiTec                           
                                                                           
A Texas cowboy was tending to his herd in a remote pasture when suddenly a
brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young
man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned
out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows
and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it
to his AT&T cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he
calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his
location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area
in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital
photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in
Hamburg , Germany

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has
been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database
through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex
formulas. He uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and,
after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a
full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet
printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1586
cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the
cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on
amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then the
cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your
business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a consultant for the Government." says the cowboy.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy, "You showed up here even
though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already
knew, to a question I never asked; and you don't know anything about my
business.......
.

Now give me back my dog."

new monitor huh, must be from that diet coke build up!!! 
Here's another one

CHILDREN

To those of us who have children in our lives,  whether they are our own,
grandchildren, nieces,  nephews,   or students...  here is something to
make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control,  you can take comfort from the
thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth,  God created Adam and Eve.

And the first thing he said was  "DON'T!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."  God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!"

"No Way!"

"Yes way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit! " said God.

"Why?"

"Because I am your Father and I said so! "

God replied,wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit? " God asked.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you? " said the Father.

"I don't know," said Eve.

"She started it! " Adam said.

"Did not! "

"Did too! "

"DID NOT! "

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve
should have children of their own.

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.   (continued below)

BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they
haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.

If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a
piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and
    talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word
    what you shouldn't have said.

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that
    there are children more awful than your own.

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.  (continued below)

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,
DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN"  AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

Quick, send this and make 10 people laugh

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on... If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm 
                 thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the
                windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and
                software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use
     to write proposals and track expenses and run my
     business.  What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's
       just  say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a
       proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start
    with some straight answers. What about financial
    bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How
                much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. 
 
20. And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to his friends, with the hope  that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.

AAAAAAAAAAAaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I be a joke pirate


To all my dearest friends, I need some help. 

My cousin's cat had kittens and he was able to give away all but 3 of them.  I told him I would help him find homes for the last 3.  I can't take one because I am allergic, but if three of you could take just one it would be such a help and the kittens could have a nice home.   

Since he lives by the Nuclear Power Plant, I'll go pick them up for you.  I've attached pictures of the last 3 kittens.
Will you help?
 

 
   
  DDDDDaaaaaaaaaaaaaarnnnn why didn't ya' tell me the pictures wouldn't print????



DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

A Few Days Off

A few days off......... I desperately needed a few, but I knew the boss would not allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing.

I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?"

I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days".

I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the boss asked her " ...and where do you think you're going?"


She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"

Toilet Cleaning Instructions:



1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids.  You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds.  Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times.  This provides a "power-wash and rinse."

6. Have someone open the front door of your home.  Be sure there are no people between the bathroom and the front door. 

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.




Sincerely,
The Dog

Hey Phyl...

Actually I DID attend the Kansas City symposium (there were 8 of us) where the topic was "Humor in Recovery".  The speaker was okay, a man from the Sprint Corp Training Center (Sprint University), however, he never really talked about humor in recovery.  He did talk about what personal traits one should take into any surgery to help ensure a positive outcome.  I was a little disappointed BUT my purpose in being there was to meet other ANers before I went into surgery.  I came away with a real warm and fuzzy, especially from Dave Kellogg, who is the KC ANA chairman, who had a very positive outcome.  I can now say that I also fall into that category.

Still anticipating my clam chowda!
