~~  The day my great-aunt had her new carpets
installed in her senior- residence apartment,
I visited her to see if she needed any help.

As I went about placing the furniture in its usual position,
she suddenly plopped down in a chair and declared,
"I just can't figure out what happened, but it seems the
day I turned 90, I lost all my energy!"
"But you're 80, not 90," I pointed out.
Upon hearing this, she marched into the kitchen, mixed
her favorite cocktail, took a sip and said,
"Well, I really don't have any excuse then!"
And proceeded to vacuum the whole apartment.


~~  A boy was taking care of his baby sister while his
parents went to town shopping.

"Oh, next time I'm sure she'll be quiet and not scare
the fish away," his mother said.
The boy said, "It wasn't that..... She ate all the bait!"

"I played as softly as I could."

I’m going through Oprah withdrawal.

my chair for a prize.

~~  One reason the Military Services have trouble
operating jointly is that they don't speak the same
language.
For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a
building," they would turn off the lights and lock the
doors.
The Army would occupy the building so no one could
enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and
defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a
three-year lease with an option to buy.


~~   The highlight of our zoo trip was a peacock showing

served.'

teenagers came in.
They were dressed in leather, chains, and safety pins. 
The boy had blue and purple spiked hair and the girl's
hair was bright yellow. 
Suddenly the boy picked up a pair of sunglasses and
tried them on.
"What do you think?" he asked his girlfriend.
"Take them off!" she howled,....
"They make you look ridiculous."


~~  My mother and I were having a mother-daughter
talk about the qualities to look for in a husband. 
She stressed that husband and wife should be as much
alike as possible in interests and backgrounds.
 I brought up the point that opposites often attract.
"Diane," Mom said emphatically, "Just being man and
woman is opposite enough."


~~  Brett and I were soaked when we were caught in the
rain while golfing.
But I had extra clothes in the car, so I lent him a pair of
jeans.
Several weeks later at a party at Brett's house, his wife
raised some eyebrows when she called over to me,
"Larry, your pants are still hanging behind my bedroom
door."


~~  Did you hear Cher is joining the spice girls?
They’re going to call her Old Spice.

Sunday school class late.
His teacher knew that the boy was usually very prompt
and asked him if anything was wrong.
 The boy replied no, that he was going to go fishing,
but that his dad told him that he needed to go to church
instead.
 The teacher was very impressed and asked the boy if
his father had explained to him why it was more
important to go to church rather than to go fishing.
 To which the boy replied, "Yes, ma'am, he did.
My dad said that he didn't have enough bait for both of
us."

foggy par three, and could see the flag, but not the green.
 Each hit their ball anyway.
When they walked to the green, they discovered one
ball about three feet from the cup, while the other ball
somehow had gone directly in.
 The blondes tried to figure out which ball belonged to
who, since they were both using Titleist number threes.
 Unable to decide, they returned to the Club House and
asked the golf pro for a ruling.
 After hearing their story and congratulating them both
on their superb shots under such adverse conditions the
pro asked,.."Okay, so who was playing the yellow ball?"

~~  Driving along on a sunny day with her young
granddaughter by her side, my sister was on top of the
world.
  "Grandma," said the girl, "is Grandpa a lot older
than you?" 
"A few years, yes," she said. 
Then, fishing for a compliment, she inquired,
"Why do you ask?"
"Well, his mustache is a lot bigger than yours."


~~   husband and wife were at a party chatting with
some friends when the subject of marriage counseling
came up.
"Oh, we'll never need that.
My husband and I have a great relationship," the wife
explained.
"He was a communication major in college, and I
majored in theater arts.
He communicates really well, and I just act as if I'm
listening."


~~  I read this article that said the typical symptoms of
stress are eating too much, smoking too much, impulse

~~  Q: What did the man who was just cloned say?
A: "I'm beside myself!"

Rae's Trivia......
Star Trek fans in over 120 countries lament the fact that
Patrick Stewart has never won an Emmy Award for his role
as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

(And)
Napoleon appointed three scientists to create a device
that would preserve rations for his troops as they
attacked Russia.
Their brainchild: canned food.
In the French team was Louis Pasteur, the inventor of
the pasteurization method.
The technique they developed for canning is virtually the
same process used today.
Unfortunately, the scientists didn’t also invent a can
opener.
So by relying on knives and bayonets to pierce the thick
metal cans, many soldiers severely wounded
themselves, some even cutting off a finger or two!

sometimes the farmer she boarded with allowed her the

She told the children she taught eight grades at once,
that each day an older student came early to light the

Finally, she asked if there were any questions.
One eager boy's hand shot up.

running in those shoes!"
