Pete How can I be late when I have no deadline?

With the waning of August and the approach of cooler fall breezes, the time is right to fly a kite! Whether you prefer the swoops and dives of “stunt” kites, or the peaceful, serene floating of the classic box kite, you’ll find kite flying to be a relaxing way to spend quality time with family and friends......... It’s a good idea, however, to weigh more than six pounds.

~~~ A strong young man at a construction site was bragging that he could out-do anyone in a feat of strength.
He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen.
After several minutes, the older worker had enough.
'Why don't you put your money where your mouth is,' he said.
'I'll bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back.'
'You're on, old man,' the braggart replied........ 'Let's see you do it.'
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man, he said, 'All right, Dummy, get in.'
Never mess with old people.......
.
~~~ Driving on the interstate, I saw a vehicle with the license plate ALT F7.
I checked my computer at home, and as I suspected, it was a WordPerfect command.
The truck had to belong to a plumber.
Who else would choose the command "Flush Right"?
.
~~~ FATHER: "You should never hit a man when he's down."
SON: "Yeah, he might get up."
.
~~~ Jim and Linda were playing golf when a bird flew overhead.
"Look at that duck," Jim said.
"That's not a duck," said Linda.
"That's a goose."
"Duck!""Goose!"
And so the argument went.
A golfer behind them, playing the hole, yelled, "Fore!" and hit the ball.
Jim saw the ball coming and shouted, "Duck!"
Linda shouted back, "Goose!" ......B-O-I-N-G!

~~~ A restaurant posts a sign that says "$500 if we fail to fill your order.
A customer decides to put it to the test by ordering "elephant ears on rye.
The waitress writes down his order and walks to the kitchen.
Seconds later, the chef storms out of the kitchen, goes to the customer's table, and slams down five hundred-dollar bills.
"You got me," he tells the customer.
"But I want you to know that this is the first time in ten years we've been out of rye bread."
.
~~~ After a severe storm walloped Kentucky, our utility company sent us to the hardest-hit area to get power restored.
I was picking up fallen wires when a car horn blared at me.
"Hey!" I yelled at the driver.
"Didn't you see all those red flags, signs, and barriers back there?"
"Oh yes," he replied....... "I got by them all right.
It's your truck that's in the way now."
.
~~~ When my printer's type began to grow faint, I called a local repair shop, where a friendly man informed me that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned.
Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told me, I might be better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job myself.
Pleasantly surprised by his candour, I asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"
"Actually it's my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly.
"We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."
.
~~~ One morning I found a beautiful long-stemmed rose lying by the kitchen sink.
Even though the flower was plastic, I was thinking how, after all the years we had been married, my husband could still make such a wonderful romantic gesture.
Then I noticed a love note lying next to it.
"Dear Sue," it read. "Don't touch the rose, I'm using the stem to unclog the drain."
.
~~~ After registering for his high school classes, my son burst into the house, filled with excitement.
"Dad," he announced in one breath, "I got all the classes I wanted.
But I have to have my school supplies by tomorrow.
I need a protractor and a compass for geometry, a dictionary for English, a dissecting kit for biology, and a car for driver's ed."

~~~ One day there was a priest sitting in a pew with a very worried and nervous look, like something was really wrong.
Another priest saw him and asked him what was wrong.
"Well" the priest said, "have you ever heard of such a thing as a Freudian Slip?"
"No," said the other priest.
"Well" said the priest, "it's when one slips and says something one is thinking instead of what they meant to say.
It usually occurs at the least opportune time."
"Oh," said the other priest, "so, tell me what happened?"
"Well, today I performed a wedding and you know the part when you say ... I now pronounce you man and wife?".
"Of course" was the reply.
"Well although that is what I meant to say, what actually came out was,.... "I now sentence you to life."
.
~~~ Wife : You tell a man something: it goes in one ear and comes out of the other.
Husband : You tell a woman something ... It goes in both ears and comes out of the mouth.
.
~~~ A man walks into...... a dentist's office, and says.... "Help, I think I'm a moth".
The dentist says, "No, I'm a dentist, you need a psychologist".
The man says, "I know you're a dentist".
To which the dentist asks, "Then why did you come to me"
The man replies, "Because the light was on"!!
.
~~~ The timid young man began : “ Mr. Jones, er, ah, what I mean is….”
“Why yes, you may marry her,” replied Mr. Jones
“Who?”
“My daughter........... Isn’t that what you were asking?”
“N n no. I wanted to borrow $5,000.”
“Never! I hardly know you!”
Another priest saw him and asked him what was wrong.
