Joke - Bottle of Wine...

Bottle of Wine

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern New Mexico when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at EVERYTHING she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two.

Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:

"Good trade."

Joke - Getting Whacked & Bonked

Getting Whacked & Bonked

There was this little guy sitting in a bar, drinking, minding his own business when all of a sudden this great big dude comes in and -- WHACK!! -- knocks him clean off the bar stool and onto the floor. The idiot says, "That was a karate chop from Korea."

The little guy thinks "goodness!" but he gets back up on the stool and starts drinking again when all of a sudden -- WHACK!! - the big dude knocks him down again and says, "That was a judo chop from Japan."

The little guy has had enough of this. He gets up, brushes himself off and quietly leaves. He is gone for an hour or so.

When he returns, without saying a word, he walks up behind the big idiot and -- BONK!! -- bangs the big dude off his stool, knocking him out cold.

The little guy looks at the bartender and says, "When he comes to, tell him that is a crowbar from Sears."

Gentle Thoughts for the Day...

Gentle Thoughts for Today

Birds of a feather flock together
and "go" on your car.

When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end
of his chain and gag himself.

A penny saved is a government oversight.

The real art of conversation is not only to say
the right thing at the right time, but also to leave
unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose
weight, because by then your body and your
fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost
around the house is to buy a replacement .

He who hesitates is probably right.


Did you ever notice:
The Roman Numerals
for forty (40) are 'XL'?

If you think there is good in everybody,
you haven't met everybody.

If you can smile when things go wrong,
you have someone in mind to blame.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name
is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take
time to look for it. For example I am sitting here
thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.


Did you ever notice:
When you put the 2 words
'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs'?

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop
lying about your age and start bragging about it.

The older we get, the fewer things seem
worth waiting in line for.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me,
I want people to know 'why' I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some
of the roads weren't paved.

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go
back to youth, think of Algebra.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it is such a nice change from being young.

Ah, being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,
it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.

Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder
and your hand over my mouth!

Dog Tired...

Dog Tired

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me and I gave him a few pats on his head. He then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour.

This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful, sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

Girlie Wisdom!...

Girlie Wisdom!

Women over 50 don't have babies
because they would put them down &
forget where they left them.


A friend of mine confused her Valium
with her birth control pills...
she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.


One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box
of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.


My mind not only wanders,
it sometimes leaves completely.


The best way to forget your
troubles is to wear tight shoes.

The nice part about living in a small town
is that when you don't know what you
are doing, someone else does.


The older you get, the tougher it is
to lose weight because by then,
your body & your fat are really good friends.

Just when I was getting used to
yesterday, along came today.


Sometimes I think I understand everything,
& then I regain consciousness.

I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept
rubbing together & setting fire to my knickers.


Amazing! You hang something in your closet
for a while & it shrinks 2 sizes!

Skinny people irritate me! Especially when
they say things like: "You know sometimes
I forget to eat!" Now I've forgotten my address,
my kid's name, & my keys, but I have never
forgotten to eat. You have to be a
special kind of stupid to forget to eat!


The trouble with some women is that
they get all excited about nothing
& then they marry him.

I read this article that said the typical
symptoms of stress are eating too much,
impulse buying,& driving too fast. Are
they kidding? That's my idea of a

perfect day!

On joy...

A friend sent this to me in an email. I do not know who the author is. I wish I did. I loved it and wanted to share it. Thanks, my friend, for bringing joy daily to my life!!! Enjoy!...

Allow joy!

Joy is your true nature. That's why it feels so
right. Simple yet profound, joy asks only to be.
Joy fills your life to the extent that you allow it.

Let go of the frustration, the anger, envy and
worry. And joy comes quickly to fill the void.

The smallest things can inspire joy. And the
biggest moments in life benefit when they are
lived in joy.

Joy costs nothing and yet it gives so much. Joy
is completely unreasonable and that is
its most powerfully compelling reason.

Joy is always here and now. Allow joy to fill
your heart, and its great value will fill your
world.

Joke - The Bad Chainsaw!

The Bad Chainsaw!

This fellow is looking to buy a saw to cut down some trees in his back yard. He goes to a chainsaw shop and asks about various chainsaws. The dealer tells him, "Look, I have a lot of models, but why don't you save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and get the top-of-the-line model. This chainsaw will cut a hundred cords of wood for you in one day."

So, the man takes the chainsaw home and begins working on the trees. After cutting for several hours and only cutting two cords, he decides to quit. He thinks there is something wrong with the chainsaw. "How can I cut for hours and only cut two cords?" the man asks himself.

So, the next morning the man gets up at 4 am in the morning and cuts and cuts, and cuts till nightfall, and still he only manages to cut five cords.

The man is convinced this is a bad saw. "The dealer told me it would cut one hundred cords of wood in a day, no problem. I will take this saw back to the dealer," the man says to himself.

The very next day the man brings the saw back to the dealer and explains the problem. The dealer, baffled by the man's claim, removes the chainsaw from the case. The dealer says, "Hmm, it looks fine."

Then the dealer starts the chainsaw, to which the man responds, "What's that noise?"

Joke - A Blonde Gets Smart

A Blonde Gets Smart

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game?

The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa."

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"

The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.

Okay says the lawyer, your turn.

She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"

The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer.

He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer.

Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworker, to no avail.

After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.

The blonde says,"Thank you", and turns back to get some more sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"

Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

And you thought blondes were dumb!

Funny story - Uses for Chapstick

Uses For Chapstick


We had this great 10-year-old cat named Jack who just recently died.

Jack was a great cat, and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on the mat in our bathroom.

We have three kids, and at the time of this story, they were 4 years-old, 3 years-old, and 1 year-old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loved Chapstick. LOVED it. He kept asking to use my Chapstick and then would lose it. Finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my Chapstick and explained he could use it whenever he wanted to, but he needed to put it right back in the drawer after he finished.

That year, on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys were fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I was trying to nurse my little one at the same time I was putting on my make-up. Everything was a mess, and everyone had long forgotten that this was a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.

We finally had the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I was looking for Eli. I searched everywhere and I finally went into the bathroom. There was Eli. He was applying my Chapstick very carefully to Jack's ... rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said, "chapped."

Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right -- their little bottoms do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind. The only question to ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth!?!

And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your Chapstick on the cat's butt.

Joke - That's Intelligence!

That's Intelligence!


"Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?" asked the first ditch digger.

"I don't know," responded the other. "I'll ask him."

So he climbed out of the hole, went up to their boss and asked, "Why are we digging in the hot sun and you're standing in the shade?"

"Intelligence," the boss said.

"What do you mean, intelligence?"

"Well, I'll show you," the boss replied. "I'll put my hand on this tree and I want you to hit it with your shovel as hard as you can."

The ditch digger took a mighty swing but the boss removed his hand and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said, "That's intelligence!"

So the ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, "What did he say?"

"He said we're down here because of intelligence."

"What's intelligence?" asked the friend.

The ditch digger put his hand on his face and said, "Take your shovel and hit my hand."

Joke - To Be Forgetful!

To Be Forgetful!

Three ladies were discussing the travails of getting older. One said, "Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, while standing in front of the refrigerator, and I can't remember whether I need to put it away, or start making a sandwich."
