Found in a magazine I was reading this aftrnoon. From a reader: Senior moment "After a shopping trip I decided to make a pot of tea, and a hot water bottle for my back. The kettle boiled, I made the tea, then poured it into my hot water bottle."  Sound familiar?

How Do These People Survive? Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half-dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets. ----- I was checking out at the local Foodland with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "Dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "Divider" looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me "Do you know how much this is?" and I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK" and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened..... ----- A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy". ----- I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenient store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk." ----- I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in Twister. I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich. ----- My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?" ----- Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect

This is a specially formulated diet designed to help people cope with the stress that builds during the day BREAKFAST 1 Grapefruit 1 slice wholemeal toast 1 cup skimmed milk LUNCH 1 small portion lean, steamed chicken with a cup of spinach 1 cup herbal tea 1 biscuit AFTERNOON TEA The rest of the biscuits from the packet 1 tub of Gino Ginelli ice cream with chocolate topping DINNER 4 bottles of wine (red or white) 2 loaves garlic bread 1 family size Supreme pizza 3 chocolate bars LATE NIGHT SNACK 1 whole cheesecake (eaten directly from the freezer) REMEMBER : 'stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts' Finally, here's some advice for you: Dr. Neil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started....... So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonay , a bole of Baileys, a butle of Kehuha, a pockage of biscuits , the mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke, some saltins an a bax a cholates.. Yu haf no idr who gud I fel.

Joe, this is REALLY FUNNY     Thank you for the early morning laugh--I needed it! Prayers continue for Julie, the baby and you. Diane, I love the picture of the dog "praying" with the little boy. Super squirrel and the dog in the lawn chair are priceless. Think I'll opt for the dog in the lawn chair this weekend.

Tsk,tsk 1) Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. 2) I'm not into working out. My philosophy: No pain; no pain. 3) I am in shape. Round's a shape... 4) I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets. 5) I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. 6) Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window. 7) Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac. 8) You have to stay in shape. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we have no idea where she is. 9) I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks,they are always locking three. 10) The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they are okay, then it's you. 11) Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash. 12) I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother in law is attractive, but I only have photographs of her. 13) A lady came up to me on the street and pointed at my suede jacket. "You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" she sneered. I replied in a psychotic tone, "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too."
Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.
