Joke - Redneck Goes To College

Redneck Goes To College

Two redneck pals, Jim and Bob, are sitting at their favorite bar, drinking
beer. Jim turns to Bob and says, "You know, I'm tired of going through
life without an education. Tomorrow I'm going to the community
college and signing up for some classes."

Bob agrees it's a good idea and the two leave.

The next day, Jim goes down to the college and meets the Dean of
Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes - Math,
English, History, and Logic.

"Logic?" Jim asks. "What's that?"

The Dean explains, "I'll give you an example. Do you own a
weed eater?"

"Yeah."

"Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater, I think you
have a yard."

"That's true, I do have a yard."

"I'm not done," the Dean continues, "Because you have a yard, I think,
logically, that you would have a house."

"Yes, I do have a house."

"And because you have a house, logically, you might have a family."

"Yes, I have a family."

"I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically, you must
have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you
must be a heterosexual."

"I am a heterosexual. That's amazing! You were able to find all that
out because I have a weed eater!"

Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean's hand and leaves
to go meet Bob at the bar. He tells Bob about his classes - how he
is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic.

"Logic?" Bob asks, "What is that?"

Jim explains, "I will give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?"

"No."

"Then you are a homosexual."

Cheerfulness Quotes...

Cheerfulness Quotes

"The most certain sign of wisdom is continual cheerfulness;
her state is like the things above the moon,
always clear and serene."
- Michael de Montaigne
~
"Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind,
lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work
with fewer creaks and groans. If people were universally cheerful,
there wouldn't be half the quarreling or a tenth part of the
wickedness there is. Cheerfulness, too, promotes health and
morality. Cheerful people live longest here on earth,
afterward in our hearts."
- Author Unknown
~
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

lets people know you're home."
- Author Unknown
~
"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along
life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."
- Joseph Addison
~
"If I keep a green bough in my heart,
the singing bird will come."
- A Chinese Proverb
~
"A happy person is not a person in a certain
set of circumstances, but rather a person with
a certain set of attitudes."
- Hugh Downs
~
"The path to cheerfulness is to sit cheerfully and act and
speak as if cheerfulness were already there."
- William James
~
"Cheerfulness, sir, is the principle ingredient
in the composition of health."
- Arthur Murphy

it is spent, the more it remains."

to it that he always has good company."

taking the world into my arms."

Joke - True Lent (Boudreaux) Style...

True Lent (Boudreaux) Style

Each Friday night after work, Boudreaux would fire up his outdoor
grill and cook a venison steak. But, all of Boudreaux's neighbors were
Catholic... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat
on Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was
causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally
talked to their priest.

The priest came to visit Boudreaux, and suggested that he become a
Catholic. After several classes and much study, Boudreaux attended
Mass.. and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You
were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic."

Boudreaux's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived,
and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood.

The priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed
into Boudreaux's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him,
he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Boudreaux,
clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over
the grilling meat and chanted, "You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a
deer, but now you is a catfish."
