~~~ Columbus traveled around the world at public expense and they called him an explorer. Today they would call him a congressman.

.
~~~ Pat told me: After noticing how trim my husband had become, a friend asked me how I had persuaded him to diet.
It was then I shared my dark secret: "I put our teenage son's shorts in his underwear drawer."

.
~~~ My sky-diver husband and the pilot of his plane were driving to a jump zone when they were pulled over by a police officer for speeding.
The officer approached the car and jokingly asked for a pilot's license and flight plan.
These were promptly passed over to him.
His face expressed amazement, then amusement.
"I always knew one day I'd get caught with that line," and he let them go with a warning.

.
~~~ After struggling unsuccessfully in a Tokyo restaurant with a Japanese-only menu and a waiter who spoke only Japanese, I turned for help to a young woman seated at a nearby table. She was eating what appeared to be a club sandwich.
Pointing to her plate, I politely inquired, "Do you mind telling me what you call that?"
She looked at me blankly for a moment, then replied in perfect English, "I call it a sandwich."

.
~~~ You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

.
~~~ While on a trip in India, my sister and I dined in an exquisite restaurant in Bangalore.
I decided to try the smorgasbord, which was beautifully displayed and loaded with a multitude of unknown delicacies.
I was savouring the last morsel when the waiter asked if I had enjoyed the meal.
I told him I had, adding, however, that the yellow-green slices of a squash-like vegetable had not been to my taste.
With great respect the waiter replied, "Madam, you ate the decorations."

~~~ The final step before my mother earned her private pilot's licence was her first solo cross-country flight in a Cessna 150.

"And for heaven's sake, make sure you fly low and slow."

.
~~~ We would sometimes have trouble with skunks getting under our house.
One morning we awoke with the smell of a skunk.
I was a sophomore in college.
This was the day for ROTC drill and I had to wear my ROTC uniform to school.
I took the uniform out of the closet, put it on and left for school.
I went to my first class and was sitting in the middle of about a hundred students. All of a sudden, I could smell a skunk in the science classroom.
For some reason, everyone was looking at me.
I then realized that my ROTC uniform had a strong skunk smell and I got out of that room as fast as I could. I went to the college dean to get an excused absence.
He was usually difficult to deal with.
But, when he got a whift of me, I had no problem getting an excused absence for the rest of the day.

.
~~~ My mother, a master of guilt trips, showed me a photo of herself waiting by a phone that never rings.
"Mom, I call all the time," I said.
"If you had an answering machine, you'd know."
Soon after, my brother installed one for her.
"When I called the next time, I got her machine: If you are a salesperson, press one. "If you're a friend, press two. If you're my daughter who never calls, press 911 because the shock will probably give me a heart attack."

.
~~~ Having passed the enlistment physical, Robert was asked by the doctor, "Why do you want to join the Navy, son?"

.
~~~ On his 91st birthday, Milton Berle (1908-2002) was honored at the Friars Club, the famed fraternity for comedians and ribald humor.
At the end of the evening, Berle, the club's abbot emeritus (with roots going back to the original Friars Club in New York), approached the dais to address the gathering: "I'll be brief," he declared.
"And if you believe that, you believe there'll be a Richard Simmons, Jr!"

.
~~~ A most frustrated fellow was the man who bought a new boomerang and had a terrible time throwing the old one away.

.
~~~ Robbie, my nine-year-old grandson, recently asked his mother, "Mom, what is puberty?"
She gently explained that puberty occurs when children's bodies begin to change.
"Boys," she said, "Grow taller and develop muscles.
Their voices change and deepen, and they start to grow hair such as facial hair."
After her lengthy explanation, she asked, "Do you understand, Robbie?"
"Yes" he replied...... "I just hope it happens on a Saturday, when I'm not in school."
.
~~~ When potatoes were first introduced to Europe, people were skeptical and only ate the leaves, which made them sick.
They would then throw away the rest, including the actual spud.

~~~ Judging by the time they picked up their morning newspaper, my newly retired neighbours were getting up later and later.
One morning I was outside when my neighbour slipped out to pick up his paper.
"Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins, you know," I teased him.
He replied, "So is envy."

.
~~~ While I was in college a friend rented a house just off campus.
The owner was a bit of an a**hole and refused to do most repairs so Pete did them himself. After the place was fixed up a little the owner contacted Pete and told him that he had decided to sell the place and Pete had 30 days to get out.
Pete asked if he could paint the place (he was a part-time house painter as well as a student) in lieu of the last months rent.
The owner agreed so Pete and a couple of his brothers did a great job.
Except, they painted the entire house black.
Everything, including inside the closets, all of the wall switches and outlet cover plates, the windowframes, the entire basement, even the fireplace. No, he didn't get his security deposit back.
I don't understand why....

.
~~~ A brothel in Britain was raided in Yorkshire and was found to be full of illegal immigrants where the average age of the 'workers' was 73.
Police labeled it 'A den of antiquity'

.
~~~ Visiting a restaurant, Bobbie and I decided to order steak.
As the waitress put our plates on the table we noticed the strange way she was holding them.
"You've got your thumbs on our steaks!" complained Bobbie.
"Well, you don't want me to drop them again, do you?" the waitress replied.

.
~~~ When my oldest son was four, I decided to give him a little culture and take him and his three year old sister to the library for the first time.
This was a last minute thought, before going grocery shopping, and we didn't get into town often. As we were nearing the library, I sprung this thought, and asked them "How about we go into the library?"
After a few second I heard my little son sobbing in the back seat.
"What's the matter Joe?" I asked curiously.
"I promise mama I wont do it again" he sobbed.
"Do what?".....I was really curious now.
"Please, please don't take me there. I won't tell no more lies", he was now wailing at me.
I chuckled just a little to myself and then explained that libraries were NOT a place people took LIARS.

.
~~~ A political candidate stood on a platform and announced to the assembled crowd that he was going to fight radicalism, socialism, communism, and anarchism.
One old man snorted and said, "I'll vote for you when you can do something about rheumatism."

.
~~~ It was four in the morning when Mr. Dartle's phone rang.
The voice at the other end was pleasant and sweet.
"I'm Mrs. Weber, and I would like to tell you that the refrigerator I bought in your store works like a charm.
"Mr. Dartle said, "Thank you.
But why call me about it at four in the morning?"
Mrs. Weber said, "Because they just delivered it!"

.
~~~ During the Depression my aunt Angelina was a young bride.
She was fond of telling her family about all the luxuries that we take for granted and how she had to do without, often telling us that on her bridal bed she had to use sugar bags for bedsheets. When her granddaughter, Marie, was getting married, Angelina offered to buy her a set of designer bedsheets. "Grandma," Marie replied. "Just promise me they won't say "Sweet, refined and granulated."

.
~~~ During one of the English classes, the teacher decided to give us as homework the use of common phrases and clichés.
We had to demonstrate their meanings by using them in sentences.
Now, this is a good exercise for ten year olds, but we were to graduate the following semester. So I decided to have some fun.
I wrote down some really funny sentences.
The next day, we had to read out loud what we had written.
One of the phrases was “ to call a spade a spade” and my homework read: “ Farmer Brown always called a spade a spade until one day, he tripped over it.”
The whole class laughed, and we never had such assignments again.

.
~~~ A woman took her dog to the parlor for a haircut and asked what it would cost.
Being told that it would be fifty dollars, she was outraged.
"I only pay thirty for my own haircut," she said.
The groomer said, "That may be true, but then you don't bite!"

.
.
Todays Thought: Enjoy yourself.
These are the good old days you're going to miss in the future.

~~~ DOCTOR: Sorry I made you wait so long.
PATIENT: I didn't mind the wait so much, but I did think you'd like to treat my illness in its early stages.

~~~ My seven-year-old niece Julie was visiting our farm.
At milking time, I put Victoria the Goat on the milkstand and was preparing to milk her when Julie walked up behind her.
Now, Julie was an inquisitive sort, always asking her parents (and others) about things, and was in the stage of learning about bodies.
Julie stood there for a moment, contemplating the goat from the rear, and remarked, "My, what big testicles she has".
.

~~~ Diplomacy is the art of saying something when you have nothing to say, or of saying nothing when you have something to say.

Stopped next to him was a young man in an open convertible.
He pointed to an object in his hand and said, "Can't you see I'm on the phone?"
.

~~~ Most of my boarding school students are more computer literate than I.
So I was surprised to find one sophomore writing a term paper on an electric typewriter.
In a reminiscent mood I said, "When I was in school my typewriter wasn't even electric."
She looked at me in shock and asked,.... "Do you mean it was battery- operated?"
.
~~~ There was once an elderly, despondent woman in a nursing home.
She wouldn't speak to anyone or request anything.
She merely existed - rocking in her creaky old rocking chair.
The old woman didn't have many visitors.
But every couple mornings, a concerned and wise young nurse would go into her room.
She didn't try to speak or ask questions of the old lady.
She simply pulled up another rocking chair beside the old woman and rocked with her.
Weeks or months later, the old woman finally spoke.
'Thank you,' she said...... 'Thank you for rocking with me.'"
.
~~~ In ancient China, doctors could receive fees only if their patient was cured.
If the patient deteriorated, they would have to pay the patient.
.

~~~ A prince had a curse put on him when he was a little boy.
He could only speak two words every year.
But, if he didn't speak for a whole year, he would then be able to speak 4 words the next year and so on.
One day he met a princess named Josie and he wanted to say: "My Princess".
The next year he saw her he wanted to say: "My princess, i love you".
The third year he saw her he wanted to say :"My princess I love you, will you marry me?"
But, the young prince, now growing older knew he would have to wait a couple more years.
So, on the fifth year, excited to finally present his question, he visited the princess.
He approached her respectfully and asked, "JOSIE, MY PRINCESS, I LOVE YOU.
WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
And the princess said,....... "Pardon?"

.
~~~ After his return from Rome, Pete couldn't find his luggage in the London Gatwick airport baggage area.
So he went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that his bags hadn't shown up on the carousel.

"Now", she asked Pete, "has your plane arrived yet?"

~~~ My American literature class required a lot of reading in very little time.
One day, my friend Steve came to class unprepared.
"Quick," he said, poking the girl in front of him, "tell me something about The Grapes of Wrath." "Okay," she replied...... "I read it, and you didn't."

.
~~~ The young male race horse came from a long line of winners, and did wonderfully in workouts.
However, in actual races he proved a little too romantic, and could never quite bring himself to pass a mare.
So one day the trainer went to him and told him he'd have to be castrated.
The young horse, knowing that it was either this or the glue factory, took it philosophically.
After all, having the operation was almost a certain guarantee of a long and illustrious racing career.
After a short recovery period, the horse was again run in workouts, and found to do as well as ever.
But the first time he actually ran in a race, he only went about ten paces, before getting a dejected look on his face, turning around, and ambling back to the starting gates.
"What's the matter?" asked the trainer, "you were doing great!"
"Yeah, well how would you feel" replied the horse, "if five thousand people took one look at you and shouted 'they're off!'?"

Once, I was stranded at the mall and called my father for help.

"Yeah," he shot back...... "A five- dollar bill."

~~~ After working for months to get in shape, my 42-year-old husband and I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
At the end of two gruelling days, we made it back to the canyon's rim.
To celebrate, we each bought an "I hiked the canyon" T-shirt.

My husband beamed with pride and answered, "Sure did!"
" No kidding!" the fellow said........ "What year?"

.
~~~ Liz said....I was halfway through a meeting with a photocopy salesman, when he suddenly mentioned his wife and children, and how contented he was.

~~~ On tour with the Boston Celtics, coach Arnold Auerbach (1917- 2006) met three of his players, each with an attractive young woman on his arm, in the hotel lobby at five o'clock in the morning.
One of the players covered his embarrassment by introducing the young woman as his "cousin." Auerbach nodded politely.
The player, desperately trying to make the unlikely tale sound more convincing, continued, "We were just on our way to church."

~~~ I work as a cashier at a grocery store that was celebrating its grand re-opening.
To draw customers, we were mailing out coupons for various free items, such as eggs, soda, chips, etc.
The coupon for the chips was very specific: it had to be a 13 1/4 bag of Lays Potato Chips.
One lady was a bit confused.
Upon handing me her bag of chips and the corresponding coupon, she said, "The coupon says thirteen and one fourth, but I guess this is close enough, right?"
I checked.
The net weight of the bag was given as 13.25 ounces.
I looked up, certain she was joking.....She wasn't.

.
~~~ I used to work in an art supply store.
We sold artists' canvas by the yard, and you could get it in either of two widths: 36 inches or 48 inches.Customer: "Can you please cut some canvas for me?

Customer: (confused and slightly annoyed) "Scissors?"

But when I arrived at her house, I found her gossiping away with a neighbor.
"Mom, we've got to go," I interjected, but she couldn't hear me over the chatter.

"Herr Professor," the candidate stammered, wiping his brow. "
I did know exactly what it was...I knew it just a moment ago, but I've now forgotten."
"Miserable creature!" Hyrtl cried.
"You're the only man in the world who knows anything about the function of the spleen...and now you've forgotten it!"

Some time later, Lloyd George asked Shackleton how the meeting had gone.

And he promised me one million pounds if I were to leave you there by mistake."

"Sure was a sad thing, wasn't it?" he said.
"You know, Ted's boating accident and all."
