HUMOR FROM A TO Z VOL. 3
EDITED BY GLE PEASE
A
AMERICA
What is an American?
We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we
have to make the down payment on a car.
We whip the enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs.
We yell for speed laws that will stop fast driving, then won't buy a car if it
can't go over 100 miles an hour.
Americans get scared to death if we vote a billion dollars for education, then
are unconcerned when we find out we are spending three billion dollars a year for
cigarettes.
We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and ational
Leagues but don't know half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner".
We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then
drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time.
We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen year old son run wild.
We will work hard on a farm so we can move into town where we can make
more money so we can move back to the farm.
In the office we talk about baseball, shopping or fishing, but when we are out
at the game, the mall or on the lake, we talk about business.
We are the only people in the world who will pay $6.00 to park our car while
eating a $.39 sandwhich.
We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the
world and more diets to keep us from eating it.
We run from morning to night trying to keep our earning power up with our
yearning power.
We're supposed to be the most civilized Christian nation on earth, but we
still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car.
We have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and
still have more divorces.

BACHELORS
Two old Bachelors were living in one house;
One caught a Muffin, the other caught a Mouse.
Said he who caught the Muffin to him who caught the Mouse,--
'This happens just in time! For we've nothing in the house,
'Save a tiny slice of lemon nd a teaspoonful of honey,
'And what to do for dinner -- since we haven't any money?
'And what can we expect if we haven't any dinner,
'But to loose our teeth and eyelashes and keep on growing thinner?'
Said he who caught the Mouse to him who caught the Muffin,--
'We might cook this little Mouse, if we had only some Stuffin'!
'If we had but Sage andOnion we could do extremely well,
'But how to get that Stuffin' it is difficult to tell'--
Those two old Bachelors ran quickly to the town
And asked for Sage and Onions as they wandered up and down;
They borrowed two large Onions, but no Sage was to be found
In the Shops, or in the Market, or in all the Gardens round.
But some one said, -- 'A hill there is, a little to the north,
'And to its purpledicular top a narrow way leads forth;--
'And there among the rugged rocks abides an ancient Sage,--
'An earnest Man, who reads all day a most perplexing page.
'Climb up, and seize him by the toes! -- all studious as he sits,--
'And pull him down, -- and chop him into endless little bits!
'Then mix him with your Onion, (cut up likewise into Scraps,)--
'When your Stuffin' will be ready -- and very good: perhaps.'
Those two old Bachelors without loss of time
The nearly purpledicular crags at once began to climb;
And at the top, among the rocks, all seated in a nook,
They saw that Sage, a reading of a most enormous book.
'You earnest Sage!' aloud they cried, 'your book you've read enough in!--
'We wish to chop you into bits to mix you into Stuffin'!'--
But that old Sage looked calmly up, and with his awful book,
At those two Bachelors' bald heads a certain aim he took;--
and over crag and precipice they rolled promiscuous down,--
At once they rolled, and never stopped in lane or field or town,--
And when they reached their house, they found (besides their want
of Stuffin',)
The Mouse had fled; -- and, previously, had eaten up the Muffin.
They left their home in silence by the once convivial door.
And from that hour those Bachelors were never heard of more.
EDWARD LEAR
BLO DE HUMOR
A "Smart" Blonde Joke
A Blonde walks into a bank in ew York City and asks for the loan
officer. She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and
needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some
kind of security for such a loan, so the Blonde hands over the keys to a
new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything
checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the
loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage
and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have
had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but
we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and
found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you
bother to borrow $5,000?"
The Blonde replied, "Where else in ew York can I park my car for two
weeks for 15 bucks?"
Another Blonde Joke
-
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each
other on a flight from LA to Y. 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 blond
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 coworkers, to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands
her $500.00.
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.
Blondes on Weight
A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor puts her on a diet. "I want you to eat
regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks.
The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds."
When the blonde returns, she's lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the
doctor says. "Did you follow my instructions?"
The blonde nods. "I'll tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third
day."
"From hunger, you mean?"
" o, from skipping."
Blondes on Cars
A blonde tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because
the car had almost 230,000 miles on it. One day, she told her problem to a brunette
she worked with her at a salon. The brunette told her, "There is a possibility to
make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal."
"That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I only can sell that car."
"Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car
repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will 'fix it.' Then it should not be a problem
to sell your car anymore."
The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic. About one month
after that, the brunette asked the blonde, "Did you ever sell your car?"
" o," replied the blonde, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!"
Did you hear about the blonde that...
Took her new scarf back to the store because it was too tight
Couldn't learn to water ski because she couldn't find a lake with a slope.
Got excited because she finished a jigsaw puzzle in 6 months and the box said "2 to
4 years"
Was trapped on an escalator for hours when the power went out.
Couldn't call 911 because there was no 11 on any phone button.
When asked what the capital of California was; answered "C"
Burnt her nose bobbing for french fries.
Baked a turkey for 3 days because the instructions said 1 hour per pound and she
weighed 125.
Can't make Kool-Aid because 8 cups of water won't fit into those little packets.
Hates M&M's because they are so hard to peel.
Got hurt while raking leaves; fell out of the tree.
Changes the baby's diaper only once a month because the label says "good up to 20
pounds"
The ews and the Bet...
A blonde and a redhead are watching the 6 o'clock news one evening. The redhead
bets the blonde $50 that the man in the lead story, who is threatening to jump from
a 40 story building, will jump.
"I'll take that bet," the blonde replied.
A few minutes later, the newscaster breaks in to report that the man had, indeed,
jumped from the building. The redhead, feeling sudden guilty for having bet on
such an incident, turns to the blonde and tells her that she does not need to pay the
$50.
" o, a bet's a bet," the blonde replies, "I owe you $50 dollars."
The redhead, feeling even more guilty, replies " o, you don't understand, Honey. I
saw the 5:30 edition, so I knew how it was going to turn out."
"That's okay," the blonde replies, "I saw it earlier too, but I sure didn't think he'd
do it again."
Brain transplant
The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists had to say."Things don't
look good. The only chance is a brain transplant. This is an experimental procedure.
It might work, but the bad news is that brains are very expensive, and you will have
to pay the costs yourselves."
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives.
"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000."
Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men nodded in
understanding, and a few actually smirked.
Then the patient's daughter asked, "Why the difference in price between male
brains and female brains?"
"A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team. "Women's brains have to
be marked down because they are used."

CHURCH HUMOR
In Memorial
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the
large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The plaque was
covered with names, and small flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning,
Alex."
"Good morning, pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the
plaque.
"Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked.
"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in
the service."
Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's
voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 9 o' clock
or the 11 o' clock?"
"The Head Hog"
submitted by Pastor Otis ixdorf
The secretary picked up the phone and heard a very countryfied voiceon the other
end saying; "I want to talk to the head hog at thetrough!"Puzzled, the secretary
said, "Excuse me sir?"He repeated; "I want to talk to the head hog at the trough!"
She then realized the man wanted to talk to the pastor. Somewhatindignant she
said, "Sir if you want to talk to our pastor, you willhave to address him properly.
You should call him Pastor, or Reverend,or Brother, but you certainly cannot refer
to him as the Head Hog atthe Trough!"The man on the other end said in a country
drawl, "Oh I just wanted todonate $10,000. to the church."
The secretary promptly replied, "Can you hold please, I think the bigpig just
walked through the door!"
Little Thomas is attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asks him,
"How many women can a man marry?"
"Sixteen," Thomas quickly replies.
"How do you know that?" asks his cousin.
"Easy," replies Thomas. "All you have to do is add it up, like the Bishop said, 4
better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer."
-----
Little Mary gets more and more restless as the preacher's sermon drags on and on.
Finally, she leans over to her mother and whispers, "Mummy, if we give him the
money now, will he let us go?"
-----
After his baby brother has been christened in church, little Johnny sobs in the back
seat of the car all the way home. His father asks him three times what is wrong.
Finally, Johnny replies, "The priest said he wants us brought up in a Christian
home, but I want to stay with you guys!"
-----
Joan asks her Sunday school class, "I want you all to draw pictures of your
favourite Bible stories." As she goes round looking at how her class are getting on,
she’s puzzled by little Peter’s picture which shows four people on an airplane, so she
asks him which story it is meant to represent.
"The Flight to Egypt, miss" says Peter.
Pointing at each figure in turn, Joan says, "That must be Mary, that must be Joseph
and that must be Baby Jesus, but who's the fourth person, Peter?"
"Oh, that's Pontius - the pilot, miss!"

THE MAGIC OF DE TISTRY
by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
---- Line ----
You probably have your own dental horror story. Here's mine.We used to belong
to a dental group office that changed dentistsfairly often. The really good dentists
seemed to go on to establish
their own practices. But young Dr. Bozo, I'll call him, was not one ofthose.I listen
to him offer rude remarks about patients to the receptionistwhile I wait. Finally, Dr.
Bozo bounces into the dental cubicle where I am reclining at a vulnerable angle,
dressed with a throw-away bibfastened around my neck by a cold chain. "And how
is our patienttoday," Dr. Bozo asks patronizingly. He continues to babble on.
"My tooth..." I try to explain, my mouth traumatized by the ghastlytube sucking a
hole in my cheek. "My tooth needs to have the temporaryfilling removed." I point to
the tooth, sure they don't teachgarble-talk translation in dental school.He glances at
the chart prepared by the previous dentist. Out comesthe long, thin needle, dripping
ovocaine. He jams it into my gums.Ouch. Why there? I wonder silently as I wait
for my lips to droop andsaliva to slobber out onto my clean bib.
Dr. Bozo finally comes back. "Are we numb?" he asks, slapping my cheekwith his
fingers. He takes out his drill, switches on its grindingwhir, and sets to work. Ouch!
Stop! I push him away. He's drilling on opposite side of my mouth from where he
put the ovocaine. Heseems perturbed. I yank out the sucking tube myself. "You
put the ovocaine in the wrong side of my mouth!"
I can see a shadow of doubt flit across his face, but it is
3immediately replaced by a maddening"everything's-all-right-what's-wrong-with-
you" smile as he reaches forhe insidious needle once more.Oh no. o mistake," he
says cheerfully. "Open wide." Back goes thatawful whistling, gurgling tube. "It's
just the magic of dentistry," hesays as he plunges the needle into the other gum.
The "magic of dentistry," my foot. He just won't admit he made astupid mistake. I
noticed he left soon after that-- not, I don'texpect, to open his own practice.
But there's something Dr. Bozo shares with you and me. It's theunwillingness to
admit we are wrong, and then correct our mistakes.The Bible calls it confession--
owning up to our sins--andrepentance--changing our mind and going the right
direction again.
We get stubborn, hard-headed. It's a sign of insecurity, I'm sure, butwe do it too
often.
How about you? Are you right with God? Are you really walking in Hisway and
diligently leading your family to follow Jesus?
DOCTORS
What Doctors Say, And What They're Really Thinking
1. "There is a lot of that going around."
That's the third one this week. I'd better learn something about this.
2. "Welllllll, what have we here...?"
He has no idea and is hoping you'll give him a clue.
3. "Let me check your medical history."
I want to see if you've paid your last bill before spending any more time with you.
4. "We have some good news and some bad news."
The good news is, I'm going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you're going to
pay for it.
5. "Let's see how it develops."
Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured.
6. "Let me schedule you for some tests."
I have a forty percent interest in the lab.
7. "I'd like to have my associate look at you."
He's going through a messy divorce and owes me a bundle.
8. "I'd like to prescribe a new drug."
I'm writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig.
9. "If it doesn't clear up in a week, give me a call."
I don't know what it is. Maybe it will go away by itself.
10. "This may smart a little."
Last week two patients bit off their tongues.
11. "Well, we're not feeling so well today, are we...?"
I'm stalling for time. Who are you and why are you here?
12. "This should fix you up." The drug company slipped me some big bucks to
prescribe this stuff.
13. "Do you suppose all this stress could be affecting your nerves?"
You're crazier'n an outhouse rat. ow, if I can only find a shrink who'll split fees
with me ...
14. "If those symptoms persist, call for an appointment." I've never heard of
anything so disgusting. Thank goodness I'm off next week.
DOCTOR JOKES
A Big Complaint
A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!"
The doctor calmly responded, " ow, settle down. You'll just have to be a little
patient."
Bad ews and Worse ews
The doctor calls up the patient and says, "I have some bad news and some worse
news. The bad news is that you have only twenty-four hours left to live."
The patient says, "That is very bad news. What could be worse?"
The doctor says, "I've been trying to reach you since yesterday."
More Bad ews
"Mr. Clark, I'm afraid I have bad news," the doctor told his anxious patient. "You
only have six months to live."
The man sat in stunned silence for the next several minutes. Regaining his
composure, he apologetically told his physician that he had no medical insurance. "I
can't possibly pay you in that time."
"Okay," the doctor said, "let's make it nine months."
Who do you sue?
Two attorneys boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other
sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, a doctor took the aisle seat next to the two
attorneys.
The doctor kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the
attorney in the window seat said, "I think I will get up and get a coke."
" o problem," said the doctor. "I'll get it for you."
While the doctor was gone, one of the attorneys picked up one of the, doctor's shoes
and spat in it. When he returned with the coke the other attorney said, "That looks
good, I think I'll have one too."
Again, the doctor obligingly went to fetch the coke. While he was gone, the other
attorney picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The doctor returned and they all
sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the doctor slipped his feet into his shoes and knew
immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on," asked the doctor,
"this fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting
in shoes and pissing in cokes?"
Breast Fed
A woman and a baby come into the doctor's office. She was told to go into a room
and wait for the doctor. After arriving there, the doctor examined the baby and
asked the woman, "Is he breast fed or on the bottle?" Breast fed," she replied. Well,
strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered. She did. He pressed, kneaded and
pinched both breasts for a while in a detailed examination. Motioning to her to get
dressed he said, " o wonder this baby is hungry. You don't have any milk."
aturally," she said, "I'm his Grandma. But I'm glad I came."
Distraught Patient
A distraught patient phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true," the woman wanted to
know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life"?
"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the woman continued... "I'm wondering, then,
just how serious is my condition? This prescription is marked ' O REFILLS!'"
Scary Cure
A woman went to doctors office. She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after
about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down
the hall. An older doctor stopped and asked her what the problem was, and she
explained. He had her sit down and relax in another room.
The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, "What's the matter with
you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven
grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?"
The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write on his clipboard. "Cured
her hiccups though, didn't I?"
Prognosis Good (from godlaughs.net)
"Doctor, I'd like you to evaluate my 13 year-old son."
"OK: He's suffering from a transient psychosis with an intermittent rage disorder,
punctuated by episodic radical mood swings, but his prognosis is good for full
recovery."
"How can you say all that without even meeting him?"
"I thought you said he's 13?"
A Coughing Funny
The owner of a drug store walks in to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall. The
owner asks the clerk "What's with that guy over there by the wall?"
The clerk replies, "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his
cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative."
The owner screams, "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with a bottle of laxatives!"
The clerk calmly replies, "Of course you can! Look at him; he's afraid to cough!"
Poison
A lady walked into the drug store and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide.
The pharmacist said "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady then
explained she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist's eyes got big, and
he said "Lord have mercy, I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's
against the law. I'll lose my license, they'll throw both of us in jail, and all kinds of
bad things will happen. Absolutely not, you can not have any cyanide!"
Then the lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed
with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well
now, you didn't tell me you had a prescription."
Cardiologist's Funeral
A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in
flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then
closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him,
he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral.........I'm a gynecologist."
Then the proctologist fainted.

FOOD
Food Spoilage Test
FI ALLY, a way to know what to pitch and what to save!
THE GAG TEST - Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers
from what you cooked for yourself last night). Ditto for things that make you
violently ill.
EGGS - When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably
past its prime. Especially if the something is OT a chicken.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is
spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it
starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway
and can't get any more spoiled than it is already. Cheddar cheese is spoiled when
you think it is blue cheese but you realize you've never purchased that kind. Blue
cheese, by definition, is never spoiled.
MAYO AISE - If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, the mayonnaise is
spoiled.
FROZE FOODS - Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the
defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled - (or
wrecked anyway) by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife.
EXPIRATIO DATES - This is OT a marketing ploy to encourage you to throw
away perfectly good food so that you'll spend more on groceries. Perhaps you'd
benefit by having a calender in your kitchen.
MEAT - If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three- block
radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled. (or the smell alone can
make you violently ill and/or unconscious)
BREAD - Sesame seeds and Poppy seeds are the only officially acceptable "spots"
that should be seen on the surface of any loaf of bread. Fuzzy and hairy looking
white or green growth areas are a good indication that your bread has turned into a
pharmaceutical laboratory experiment.
FLOUR - Flour is spoiled when it wiggles.
SALT - It never spoils.
CEREAL - It is generally a good rule of thumb that cereal should be discarded
when it is two years or longer beyond the expiration date.
LETTUCE - Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the
vegetable crisper without Comet. Romaine lettuce is spoiled when it turns liquid.
CA ED GOODS - Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a
softball should be disposed of. Carefully.
CARROTS - A carrot that you can tie in a clove hitch in is not fresh.
RAISI S - Raisins should not be harder than your teeth.
POTATOES - Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy
undergrowth.
CHIP DIP - If you can take it out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has
gone bad.
EMPTY CO TAI ERS - Putting empty containers back into the refrigerator is an
old trick, but it only works if you live with someone or have a maid.
U MARKED ITEMS - You know it is well beyond prime when you're tempted to
discard the Tupperware along with the food. Generally speaking, Tupperware
containers should not burp when you open them.
GE ERAL RULE OF THUMB - Most food cannot be kept longer than the average
life span of a hamster. Keep a hamster in or nearby your refrigerator to gauge this.

The "Good" Driver
A patrol car has been following this vehicle for about 30 minutes now, when they
finally decide to pull it over. The officer steps out and walks up to the driver's
window.
"Good afternoon sir"
"Good afternoon, any problems ?
" o sir. My partner and I have been following and observing you for a half an hour
now. We ascertained that you have not committed one single traffic violation, you
have not gone over the speed limit by even 1 mph, you were courteous towards the
fellow drivers on the road. Therefore, as a part of our new "solid driving awareness
program" I would like to present you with this check for $30,000.00."
The driver lets out a big sigh of relief:
"Oh good ! ow I can finally pay to get my driver's license. (Ooops!)"
Awkward silence, then the wife sitting in the passenger seat goes:
"Don't listen to him, officer, he always talks nonsense when he has been drinking."
Grandma who's a little hard of hearing adds from the backseat:
"Aye aye aye, didn't I tell you not to go in a stolen car?"
At this time the trunck pops open and a head peeks out:
"Are we over the border yet?"

Haircuts -- The Difference Between Men and Women
Women's version:
Woman2: Oh! You got a haircut! That's so cute!
Woman1: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she was gave me the mirror. I mean,
you don't think it's too fluffy looking?
Woman2: Oh God no! o, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like that, but I
think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff I think.
Woman1: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get
one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do
that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck.
Woman2: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take
attention away from this two-by-four I have for a shoulder line.
Woman1: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders.
Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms - see how short they are?
If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier.
Men's version:
Man2: Haircut?
Man1: Yeah.
HEAVE
This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car
crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in
health food, and exercise.
When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was
decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi. As they
"oohed and aahed" the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost.
"It's free," Peter replied, "this is Heaven."
ext they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home
backed up to. They would have golfing privileges everyday and each week the
course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth.
The old man asked, "what are the green fees?".
Peter's reply, "This is heaven, you play for free."
ext they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's
of the world laid out.
"How much to eat?" asked the old man.
"Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!" Peter replied with some
exasperation.
"Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?" the old man asked timidly.
Peter lectured, "That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever
you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven."
With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping
on it, and shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking
him what was wrong.
The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault. If it weren't for your
blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"

very unhappy.
"What’s the matter, Hannah?" asks her mother.
"Arnold has asked me to marry him," she replies.
"Mazeltov! But why are you looking so sad?" her mother asks.
"Because he also told me that he was an atheist. Oh mum, he doesn't even believe in
Hell."
Her mother then says, "That’s all right Hannah, it really isn’t a problem. I suggest
you marry him and between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."

HUMOR A D LAUGHTER
FMC founder Cal Samra well remembers the time, 16 years ago, when he was in a
deep depression. Struggling with health problems, he moved from Michigan to
Arizona, where he tried to find relief at a Franciscan retreat center.
Several of the Franciscans who staffed the center "were really wits," he recalled.
"In the kitchen, they had a print of Jesus laughing by Willis Wheatley. They were
quite buoyant and cheerful people."
With the encouragement of the Franciscans and a prayer group, "I began to see
Jesus in a different light," Mr. Samra said. "They helped me out of this through
prayer and laughter."
Laughing Jesus
Mr. Samra began collecting prints of a joyful Christ from different faith traditions,
and eventually wrote a popular book titled, "The Joyful Christ -- The Healing
Power of Humor." His heroes became St. Francis of Assisi, who instructed his
followers to "be cheerful and of a merry heart," and St. Teresa of Avila, who
prayed, "From somber, serious, sullen saints, save us, O Lord!"
In 1986, the author organized the Fellowship of Merry Christians in response to
requests from clergy and laity alike, and began publishing "The Joyful
oiseletter."
"It's one of the only grassroots organizations in the country to bring people from all
these denominations into a fellowship of good cheer," he explained. "Humor is a
very powerful evangelistic and healing tool."
hy did the Resurrected Stranger accuse Cleopas and his companion of being foolish
and slow hearted? "Then He said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken" (Luke 24:25). Isn't a fool, one who acts out with his
life what he believes in his heart, that there is no God? "The fool hath said in his
heart, There is no God" (Psalm 53:1). Foolishness must then be based on the denial
of God and His Word; however slight or innocent it may sound. When we take the
position of rejecting God's Word or His prophets, we take the position of fools.
Slowness of heart "to believe all that the prophets have spoken" (Luke 24:25), is a
dullness that retards and impedes confidence in God. This is backwardness in the
professed Body of Christ. "Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be
uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers,
ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of
God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat" (Hebrews
5:11-12). This backwardness is a backslidden state of heart, that must be turned
away from. "Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.
Behold, we come unto Thee; for Thou art the LORD our God" (Jeremiah 3:22).
It seems obvious to us now that the LORD Jesus had often told his disciples during
the last year of His earthly ministry that He was to suffer, die, and rise from the
dead. "From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto His disciples, how that He
must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day" (Matthew 16:21). But, the
disciples already had a preconceived notion of their Messiah on the earthly Throne
of David-- and soon. The Apostle Peter went so far as to rebuke the LORD for
making, what appeared to him, that offensive statement. "Then Peter took Him, and
began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from Thee, LORD: this shall not be unto
Thee. But He turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind Me, Satan: thou art an
offence unto Me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be
of men" (16:22-23).
They not only entertained angels unaware, but God Himself.
A three-year-old boy went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home,
he breathlessly informed his mother, "There were 2 boy kittens and 2 girl"
kittens."
"How did you know?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath", he replied. "I think it's printed on
the bottom."
Gilbert Thomas wrote,
He spake two thousand years ago.
The Word was flesh to His own age.
But later generations know
Only the printed page.
His message? Dons have disagreed,
and blood has flowed because divines
Have lacked the ho;mely wit to read
His smile between the lines.
Rita Snowden, "Was it ever recorded of a dour preacher that 'the common people
heard him gladly?' To some ponderous souls there is something a little irreverent in
the suggestion that Jesus had sometimes 'a twinkle' in His eye. It is hard to think
why--children were not repelled by Himn; there was something different about this
religious teacher. Young people were happy to have Him with them on the happiest
day of their lives--at their wedding-feast. He was plainly not the sort of over-serious
Preacher whose main interest on such occasions was to speak a solemn word in
season. He was far too balanced a Person for that. Life was God's gift-the whole of
it. Because its issues belonged to Eternity, it was often in time, quite laughable."
In a candy store one salesgirl had customers lined up waiting for her while other

My Mom always says "Choose to be happy".
Calvin and I have talked a lot about this for the past several months, comparing the
person who wears
all of his emotions on his sleeve for the world to see, and the person who hides all
emotions. Most of
us are somewhere in between those two extremes.
I am a product of my family. (Aren't we all?) In my family we were taught, by
example, to choose
happiness. That sounds great. And I still am of the persuasion that it is a good thing.
But when does
"choosing to be happy" become a lie?
That has been the focus of the discussions Calvin and I have had lately. I'd like to
add at this point I
am no "Mary Poppins/Doris Day, head in the clouds or the sand" type. I get
depressed. Especially as a
teenager, which I think is common. And sometimes things happen that you can't
overlook. But over all I
choose to be happy. At least that is the way I have seen it.
This is an example of a situation that concerns Calvin. He says or does something
that bothers me. I
choose to ignore it. For the most part in our marriage I have never shown irritation.
He says that by
doing that I put him at a disadvantage. He asked me how he can know to fix
something he doesn't
know is a problem. He said I am doing our marriage a disservice to stay quiet about
things like that.
So over the past few months I have tried to be aware of that and I try to say if
something bothers
me.
Another "family trait" I have is to "put on a happy face". In my family, especially
the women, when
you walk out the door and face non-family members you smile. And I like that, I am
most comfortable
being that way. My question now after all this discussion about this is; is it a lie to
appear happy when
something is bothering you? Don't look at me,,, I don't know the answer yet! LOL.
I'm just thinking
outloud. I do know that, although I may need to modify some aspects of the way I
react to things, I still choose to be happy.

the youngsters about Daniel and the Lion's Den. She had a
picture of Daniel standing brave and confident with a group of
lions around him. One of the little eight-year-old girls started
to cry. The teacher said, "Don't cry. The lions are not going to eat
Daniel." The girl said, "That's not what I'm crying about. That little

Mary was married to a male chauvinist. They both worked full time, but he never
did anything around the house and certainly not any housework. That, he declared,
was woman's work!
But one evening Mary arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a load
of wash in the washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove and a
beautifully set table, complete with flowers. She was astonished, and she
immediately wanted to know what was going on.
It turned out that Charley, her husband, had read a magazine article that suggested
working wives would be more romantically inclined if they weren't so tired from
having to do all the housework, in addition to holding down a full-time job.
The next day, she couldn't wait to tell her girlfriends at the office. "How did it work
out?" they asked.
Mary said. "Charley even cleaned up, helped the kids with their homework, folded
the laundry and put everything away. I really enjoyed my evening."
"But what about afterward?" her friends wanted to know.
"It didn't work out," Mary said. "Charley was too tired."

JESUS LAUGHED
“I received several angry letters from readers of my book Living Faith because I
commented there that Jesus could easily have substituted for Jay Leno of David
Letterman on the late-night talk shows. My correspondents seemed to believe it was
sacrilegious to think that Jesus Christ had s sense of humor.” “It is a shame that
so many people believe that Jesus was always solemn, and that therefore the proper
demeanor for his followers is to be grim, stern, even haughty toward others. In fact,
Jesus has a good time, and he encouraged his disciples to join him in enjoying life.”
“Did Jesus laugh? Yes, he did-often, and with a full heart.”
JESUS SAVES
Jesus and Satan have an discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes
on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as
the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type
furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds
before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes,taking out the
electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the
contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with.
Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went
out."
"Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better."
Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of
an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, "B-
b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact. How did he do it?"
God smiled all-knowingly, "Jesus saves."
JOBS
A Rough Job History
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned
.... couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so
.... they gave me the ax.

Professional "Courtesy"
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly
interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free
medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to
stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give the advice to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

Courtroom Tactics
A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt,
but there was no corpse. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that
his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as
he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case
will walk into this courtroom." He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors,
somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. othing happened.
Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But, you all
looked on with anticipation. I therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt
in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of
not guilty." The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later,
the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you
stare at the door."
The jury foreman replied, "Oh, we looked, but your client didn't."
Got Him!
A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over lawyers he would see walking
down the side of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer walking along the road,
he would swerve to hit him, and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then he
would swerve back onto the road. One day, he saw a priest hitchhiking. He thought
he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over.
He asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"
"I'm going to the church 5 miles down the road," replied the priest.
" o problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in the truck." The happy priest
climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road.
Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively he
swerved to hit him. But he remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, so
at the last minute he swerved back away, narrowly missing the lawyer. However,
even though he was sure he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "THUMP". ot
understanding where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors and when he
didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry Father. I almost hit
that lawyer."
"That's okay," replied the priest. "I got him with the door!"
Who sleeps in the barn?
A lawyer and two friends (a lawyer with friends? ok, you know this is a joke), a
Rabbi and a Hindu holy man, had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend
the night with a farmer. The farmer said "There might be a problem; you see, I only
have room for two to sleep, so one of you must sleep in the barn."
" o problem," chimed the Rabbi, "My people wandered in the desert for forty
years, I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for an evening." With that he
departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the night.
Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened the door. There
stood the Rabbi from the barn.
"What's wrong?" asked the farmer.
He replied, "I am grateful to you , but I can't sleep in the barn. There is a pig in the
barn and my faith believes that is an unclean animal."
His Hindu friend agrees to swap places with him. But a few minutes late the same
scene reoccurs. There is a knock on the door.
"What's wrong, now?" the farmer asks.
The Hindu holy man replies, "I too am grateful for your helping us out but there is
a cow in the barn and in my country cows are considered sacred. I can't sleep on
holy ground!"
Well, that leaves only the lawyer to make the change. He grumbled and complained,
but went out to the barn. Moments later there was another knock on the farmers
door. Frustrated and tired, the farmer opens the door, and there stood.... the pig and
the cow.
Who do you sue?
Two attorneys boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other
sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, a doctor took the aisle seat next to the two
attorneys.
The doctor kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the
attorney in the window seat said, "I think I will get up and get a coke."
" o problem," said the doctor. "I'll get it for you."
While the doctor was gone, one of the attorneys picked up one of the, doctor's shoes
and spat in it. When he returned with the coke the other attorney said, "That looks
good, I think I'll have one too."
Again, the doctor obligingly went to fetch the coke. While he was gone, the other
attorney picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The doctor returned and they all
sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the doctor slipped his feet into his shoes and knew
immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on," asked the doctor,
"this fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting
in shoes and pissing in cokes?"
Mrs. Jones Knows All
During a trial, in a small Missouri town, the local prosecuting attorney called his
first witness to the stand. She was sworn in, asked if she would tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth, on the Bible, so help her God.
The witness was a proper well-dressed elderly lady, the Grandmother type, well
spoken and poised. The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and asked,
"Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you
were a young boy and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie,
cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk badly about them behind their
backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the sense to realize you
never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper-pushing shyster." "Yes, I
know you quite well."
The lawyer was stunned. He couldn't even think for a few minutes. Then, slowly
backed away, fearing the looks on the judge and jurors' faces, not to mention the
court reporter who documented every word. ot knowing what else to do, he
pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense
attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster too. He's lazy, bigoted, has a bad drinking problem. The man can't build
or keep a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst
in the entire state. ot to mention he cheated on his wife with three different
women. Yes, I know him."
The defense attorney almost fainted and was seen slipping downward in his chair,
looking at the floor. Laughter mixed with gasps thundered throughout the
courtroom and the audience was on the verge of chaos.
At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both counselors to
the bench, and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of you morons asks her if she
knows me, you're going to jail."
99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
As I'm sure you would expect, there are tons (proverbially-speaking since they don't
weigh anything) of lawyer jokes posted all around the web. Just google for lawyer
jokes or try a few of these sites. Warning: many lawyer jokes on other sites are
certainly more harsh or less clean than what I've posted here.
LESSO S
Lessons Learned, by Dave Barry
25 things I have learned in 50 years (supposedly by Dave Barry)
The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it.
You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why
we observe daylight-savings time.
People who feel the need to tell you that they have an excellent sense of humor are
telling you that they have no sense of humor.
The most valuable function performed by the federal government is entertainment.
You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think
she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
A penny saved is worthless.
They can hold all the peace talks they want, but there will never be peace in the
Middle East. Billions of years from now, when Earth is hurtling toward the Sun and
there is nothing left alive on the planet except a few microorganisms, the
microorganisms living in the Middle East will be bitter enemies.
The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion,
economic status, or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we all believe that
we are above-average drivers.
There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal
about your birthday. That time is age 11.
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to
share yours with them.
There apparently exists, somewhere in Los Angeles, a computer that generates
concepts for television sitcoms. When TV executives need a new concept, they turn
on this computer; after sorting through millions of possible plot premises, it spits
out, "THREE QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOU G PEOPLE LIVI G I A
APARTME T," and the executives turn this concept into a show. The next time
they need an idea, the computer spits out, "SIX QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE
YOU G PEOPLE LIVI G I A APARTME T." Then the next time, it spits out,
"FOUR QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOU G PEOPLE LIVI G I A
APARTME T." And so on. We need to locate this computer and destroy it with
hammers.
obody is normal.
At least once per year, some group of scientists will become very excited and
announce that:
The universe is even bigger than they thought!
There are even more subatomic particles than they thought!
Whatever they announced last year about global warming is wrong.
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not
achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who
are not in them.
The value of advertising is that it tells you the exact opposite of what the advertiser
actually thinks. For example:
If the advertisement says "This is not your father's Oldsmobile," the advertiser is
desperately concerned that this Oldsmobile, like all other Oldsmobiles, appeals
primarily to old farts like your father.
If Coke and Pepsi spend billions of dollars to convince you that there are significant
differences between these two products, both companies realize that Pepsi and Coke
are virtually identical.
If the advertisement strongly suggests that ike shoes enable athletes to perform
amazing feats, ike wants you to disregard the fact that shoe brand is unrelated to
athletic ability
If Budweiser runs an elaborate advertising campaign stressing the critical
importance of a beer's "born-on" date, Budweiser knows this factor has virtually
nothing to do with how good a beer tastes.
If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and He
decides to deliver a message to humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a
person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
You should not confuse your career with your life.
A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
o matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who
perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is
crazy.
Your friends love you anyway.
obody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
LIVI G WILL
While we're on the subject of living wills...
A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her...
"Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some
machine and fluids from a bottle."
"Oh, dear? Is that right?" the wife says, not looking up from her book.
"Yep," he says. "If that ever happens to me, just pull the plug."
So his wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.

Facts about Men: (obviously written by a woman)
Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.
Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced
pain and bought jewelry.
Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are
more women than men, it pays to recycle.
Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches
sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the
team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really
in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.
Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. ot being the first is
upsetting to their psyches.
All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow instead of a
gun.
A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and
bathe.
All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words
strike fear in the heart of even General Schwartzkopf.
Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not
burn, he will take it personally.
Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: depressing
and more depressing. Men have two types: nerdy and not nerdy.
Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in
winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that
snore.
Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk
into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's
another man wearing a black tuxedo."
Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor
of a department store, two inches from the door.
If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more types of
lettuce, he is serious.
If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right," if he a) got older, b)
got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The
cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.
o man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wished
he could be Cary Grant.
When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
Men are less sentimental than women. o man has ever seen the movie THE WAY
WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively
fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?"
If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget... he didn't lose your
number... he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you.
Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him, "Are we going to
have sex again?" He said, "Yes, but not with each other."
Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I
never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge If you want to get rid of a
man, I suggest saying, "I love you... I want to marry you... I want to have your
children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.
Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women
have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause
you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause - you get to date young girls
and drive motorcycles.
Men forget everything; women remember everything. That's why men need instant
replays in sports. They've already forgotten what happened.
What Women Want In Men
What I Want in a Man (age 22)

Humor from a to z vol. 3

  • 1. HUMOR FROM A TO Z VOL. 3 EDITED BY GLE PEASE A AMERICA What is an American? We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car. We whip the enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs. We yell for speed laws that will stop fast driving, then won't buy a car if it can't go over 100 miles an hour. Americans get scared to death if we vote a billion dollars for education, then are unconcerned when we find out we are spending three billion dollars a year for cigarettes. We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and ational Leagues but don't know half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner". We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time. We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen year old son run wild. We will work hard on a farm so we can move into town where we can make more money so we can move back to the farm. In the office we talk about baseball, shopping or fishing, but when we are out at the game, the mall or on the lake, we talk about business. We are the only people in the world who will pay $6.00 to park our car while eating a $.39 sandwhich. We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world and more diets to keep us from eating it. We run from morning to night trying to keep our earning power up with our yearning power. We're supposed to be the most civilized Christian nation on earth, but we still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car. We have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and still have more divorces.
  • 2. B BACHELORS Two old Bachelors were living in one house; One caught a Muffin, the other caught a Mouse. Said he who caught the Muffin to him who caught the Mouse,-- 'This happens just in time! For we've nothing in the house, 'Save a tiny slice of lemon nd a teaspoonful of honey, 'And what to do for dinner -- since we haven't any money? 'And what can we expect if we haven't any dinner, 'But to loose our teeth and eyelashes and keep on growing thinner?' Said he who caught the Mouse to him who caught the Muffin,-- 'We might cook this little Mouse, if we had only some Stuffin'! 'If we had but Sage andOnion we could do extremely well, 'But how to get that Stuffin' it is difficult to tell'-- Those two old Bachelors ran quickly to the town And asked for Sage and Onions as they wandered up and down; They borrowed two large Onions, but no Sage was to be found In the Shops, or in the Market, or in all the Gardens round. But some one said, -- 'A hill there is, a little to the north, 'And to its purpledicular top a narrow way leads forth;-- 'And there among the rugged rocks abides an ancient Sage,-- 'An earnest Man, who reads all day a most perplexing page. 'Climb up, and seize him by the toes! -- all studious as he sits,-- 'And pull him down, -- and chop him into endless little bits! 'Then mix him with your Onion, (cut up likewise into Scraps,)-- 'When your Stuffin' will be ready -- and very good: perhaps.' Those two old Bachelors without loss of time The nearly purpledicular crags at once began to climb; And at the top, among the rocks, all seated in a nook, They saw that Sage, a reading of a most enormous book. 'You earnest Sage!' aloud they cried, 'your book you've read enough in!-- 'We wish to chop you into bits to mix you into Stuffin'!'-- But that old Sage looked calmly up, and with his awful book, At those two Bachelors' bald heads a certain aim he took;--
  • 3. and over crag and precipice they rolled promiscuous down,-- At once they rolled, and never stopped in lane or field or town,-- And when they reached their house, they found (besides their want of Stuffin',) The Mouse had fled; -- and, previously, had eaten up the Muffin. They left their home in silence by the once convivial door. And from that hour those Bachelors were never heard of more. EDWARD LEAR BLO DE HUMOR A "Smart" Blonde Joke A Blonde walks into a bank in ew York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the Blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the Blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The Blonde replied, "Where else in ew York can I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?" Another Blonde Joke - A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to Y. 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.
  • 4. 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 blond 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 coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00. 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. Blondes on Weight A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor puts her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds."
  • 5. When the blonde returns, she's lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor says. "Did you follow my instructions?" The blonde nods. "I'll tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day." "From hunger, you mean?" " o, from skipping." Blondes on Cars A blonde tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had almost 230,000 miles on it. One day, she told her problem to a brunette she worked with her at a salon. The brunette told her, "There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal." "That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I only can sell that car." "Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will 'fix it.' Then it should not be a problem to sell your car anymore." The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic. About one month after that, the brunette asked the blonde, "Did you ever sell your car?" " o," replied the blonde, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!" Did you hear about the blonde that... Took her new scarf back to the store because it was too tight Couldn't learn to water ski because she couldn't find a lake with a slope. Got excited because she finished a jigsaw puzzle in 6 months and the box said "2 to 4 years" Was trapped on an escalator for hours when the power went out. Couldn't call 911 because there was no 11 on any phone button. When asked what the capital of California was; answered "C" Burnt her nose bobbing for french fries. Baked a turkey for 3 days because the instructions said 1 hour per pound and she weighed 125. Can't make Kool-Aid because 8 cups of water won't fit into those little packets. Hates M&M's because they are so hard to peel. Got hurt while raking leaves; fell out of the tree. Changes the baby's diaper only once a month because the label says "good up to 20 pounds" The ews and the Bet... A blonde and a redhead are watching the 6 o'clock news one evening. The redhead
  • 6. bets the blonde $50 that the man in the lead story, who is threatening to jump from a 40 story building, will jump. "I'll take that bet," the blonde replied. A few minutes later, the newscaster breaks in to report that the man had, indeed, jumped from the building. The redhead, feeling sudden guilty for having bet on such an incident, turns to the blonde and tells her that she does not need to pay the $50. " o, a bet's a bet," the blonde replies, "I owe you $50 dollars." The redhead, feeling even more guilty, replies " o, you don't understand, Honey. I saw the 5:30 edition, so I knew how it was going to turn out." "That's okay," the blonde replies, "I saw it earlier too, but I sure didn't think he'd do it again." Brain transplant The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists had to say."Things don't look good. The only chance is a brain transplant. This is an experimental procedure. It might work, but the bad news is that brains are very expensive, and you will have to pay the costs yourselves." "Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives. "For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000." Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men nodded in understanding, and a few actually smirked. Then the patient's daughter asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains and female brains?" "A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team. "Women's brains have to be marked down because they are used." C
  • 7. CATS A D DOGS What is a Cat? What is a Dog? So, What is a Cat? Cats do what they want. They rarely listen to you. They're totally unpredictable. When you want to play, they want to be alone. When you want to be alone, they want to play. They expect you to cater to their every whim. They're moody. They leave hair everywhere. CO CLUSIO : They're tiny women in little fur coats. And, What is a Dog? Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time. They growl when they are not happy. When you want to play, they want to play. When you want to be alone, they want to play. They leave their toys everywhere. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you. CO CLUSIO : They're tiny men in little fur coats. CHURCH HUMOR In Memorial One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The plaque was covered with names, and small flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning,
  • 8. Alex." "Good morning, pastor," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Pastor McGhee, what is this?" Alex asked. "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service." Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 9 o' clock or the 11 o' clock?" "The Head Hog" submitted by Pastor Otis ixdorf The secretary picked up the phone and heard a very countryfied voiceon the other end saying; "I want to talk to the head hog at thetrough!"Puzzled, the secretary said, "Excuse me sir?"He repeated; "I want to talk to the head hog at the trough!" She then realized the man wanted to talk to the pastor. Somewhatindignant she said, "Sir if you want to talk to our pastor, you willhave to address him properly. You should call him Pastor, or Reverend,or Brother, but you certainly cannot refer to him as the Head Hog atthe Trough!"The man on the other end said in a country drawl, "Oh I just wanted todonate $10,000. to the church." The secretary promptly replied, "Can you hold please, I think the bigpig just walked through the door!" Little Thomas is attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asks him, "How many women can a man marry?" "Sixteen," Thomas quickly replies. "How do you know that?" asks his cousin. "Easy," replies Thomas. "All you have to do is add it up, like the Bishop said, 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer." ----- Little Mary gets more and more restless as the preacher's sermon drags on and on. Finally, she leans over to her mother and whispers, "Mummy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?" ----- After his baby brother has been christened in church, little Johnny sobs in the back seat of the car all the way home. His father asks him three times what is wrong. Finally, Johnny replies, "The priest said he wants us brought up in a Christian home, but I want to stay with you guys!" ----- Joan asks her Sunday school class, "I want you all to draw pictures of your favourite Bible stories." As she goes round looking at how her class are getting on,
  • 9. she’s puzzled by little Peter’s picture which shows four people on an airplane, so she asks him which story it is meant to represent. "The Flight to Egypt, miss" says Peter. Pointing at each figure in turn, Joan says, "That must be Mary, that must be Joseph and that must be Baby Jesus, but who's the fourth person, Peter?" "Oh, that's Pontius - the pilot, miss!" COOKI G Signs You're a Bad Cook You use the smoke alarm as a cooking timer. You consider it a culinary success if the pop-tart stays in one piece. Your dog goes to the neighbors' to eat. Your family buys Rolaids and Kaopectate in bulk. When you barbecue, two of your kids hold water guns and the third stands ready by the phone with 911 on speed-dial. Your family automatically heads for the dinner table every time they hear a fire truck siren. The EPA insists that all your garbage cans be marked with biohazard symbols. Your microwave display reads "TILT!" Your two best recipes are meatloaf and apple pie, but your dinner guests can't tell which is which. Your pie filling bubbles over and eats the enamel off the bottom of the oven. You've used three boxes of scouring pads and a bottle of Drano and a crowbar, and that macaroni and cheese still won't let go of the pan. Pest control companies keep pestering you for your recipes. You make tuna noodle surprise and the surprise is that it glows in the dark and melts the silverware. Your kids know exactly what 'peas porridge in a pot nine days old' tastes like. Your family prays before A D after they eat! D THE MAGIC OF DE TISTRY by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson ---- Line ---- You probably have your own dental horror story. Here's mine.We used to belong to a dental group office that changed dentistsfairly often. The really good dentists
  • 10. seemed to go on to establish their own practices. But young Dr. Bozo, I'll call him, was not one ofthose.I listen to him offer rude remarks about patients to the receptionistwhile I wait. Finally, Dr. Bozo bounces into the dental cubicle where I am reclining at a vulnerable angle, dressed with a throw-away bibfastened around my neck by a cold chain. "And how is our patienttoday," Dr. Bozo asks patronizingly. He continues to babble on. "My tooth..." I try to explain, my mouth traumatized by the ghastlytube sucking a hole in my cheek. "My tooth needs to have the temporaryfilling removed." I point to the tooth, sure they don't teachgarble-talk translation in dental school.He glances at the chart prepared by the previous dentist. Out comesthe long, thin needle, dripping ovocaine. He jams it into my gums.Ouch. Why there? I wonder silently as I wait for my lips to droop andsaliva to slobber out onto my clean bib. Dr. Bozo finally comes back. "Are we numb?" he asks, slapping my cheekwith his fingers. He takes out his drill, switches on its grindingwhir, and sets to work. Ouch! Stop! I push him away. He's drilling on opposite side of my mouth from where he put the ovocaine. Heseems perturbed. I yank out the sucking tube myself. "You put the ovocaine in the wrong side of my mouth!" I can see a shadow of doubt flit across his face, but it is 3immediately replaced by a maddening"everything's-all-right-what's-wrong-with- you" smile as he reaches forhe insidious needle once more.Oh no. o mistake," he says cheerfully. "Open wide." Back goes thatawful whistling, gurgling tube. "It's just the magic of dentistry," hesays as he plunges the needle into the other gum. The "magic of dentistry," my foot. He just won't admit he made astupid mistake. I noticed he left soon after that-- not, I don'texpect, to open his own practice. But there's something Dr. Bozo shares with you and me. It's theunwillingness to admit we are wrong, and then correct our mistakes.The Bible calls it confession-- owning up to our sins--andrepentance--changing our mind and going the right direction again. We get stubborn, hard-headed. It's a sign of insecurity, I'm sure, butwe do it too often. How about you? Are you right with God? Are you really walking in Hisway and diligently leading your family to follow Jesus? DOCTORS What Doctors Say, And What They're Really Thinking 1. "There is a lot of that going around." That's the third one this week. I'd better learn something about this. 2. "Welllllll, what have we here...?" He has no idea and is hoping you'll give him a clue. 3. "Let me check your medical history." I want to see if you've paid your last bill before spending any more time with you. 4. "We have some good news and some bad news." The good news is, I'm going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you're going to pay for it.
  • 11. 5. "Let's see how it develops." Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured. 6. "Let me schedule you for some tests." I have a forty percent interest in the lab. 7. "I'd like to have my associate look at you." He's going through a messy divorce and owes me a bundle. 8. "I'd like to prescribe a new drug." I'm writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig. 9. "If it doesn't clear up in a week, give me a call." I don't know what it is. Maybe it will go away by itself. 10. "This may smart a little." Last week two patients bit off their tongues. 11. "Well, we're not feeling so well today, are we...?" I'm stalling for time. Who are you and why are you here? 12. "This should fix you up." The drug company slipped me some big bucks to prescribe this stuff. 13. "Do you suppose all this stress could be affecting your nerves?" You're crazier'n an outhouse rat. ow, if I can only find a shrink who'll split fees with me ... 14. "If those symptoms persist, call for an appointment." I've never heard of anything so disgusting. Thank goodness I'm off next week. DOCTOR JOKES A Big Complaint A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, " ow, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient." Bad ews and Worse ews The doctor calls up the patient and says, "I have some bad news and some worse news. The bad news is that you have only twenty-four hours left to live." The patient says, "That is very bad news. What could be worse?" The doctor says, "I've been trying to reach you since yesterday." More Bad ews "Mr. Clark, I'm afraid I have bad news," the doctor told his anxious patient. "You only have six months to live." The man sat in stunned silence for the next several minutes. Regaining his composure, he apologetically told his physician that he had no medical insurance. "I can't possibly pay you in that time." "Okay," the doctor said, "let's make it nine months."
  • 12. Who do you sue? Two attorneys boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, a doctor took the aisle seat next to the two attorneys. The doctor kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the attorney in the window seat said, "I think I will get up and get a coke." " o problem," said the doctor. "I'll get it for you." While the doctor was gone, one of the attorneys picked up one of the, doctor's shoes and spat in it. When he returned with the coke the other attorney said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too." Again, the doctor obligingly went to fetch the coke. While he was gone, the other attorney picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The doctor returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the doctor slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on," asked the doctor, "this fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?" Breast Fed A woman and a baby come into the doctor's office. She was told to go into a room and wait for the doctor. After arriving there, the doctor examined the baby and asked the woman, "Is he breast fed or on the bottle?" Breast fed," she replied. Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered. She did. He pressed, kneaded and pinched both breasts for a while in a detailed examination. Motioning to her to get dressed he said, " o wonder this baby is hungry. You don't have any milk." aturally," she said, "I'm his Grandma. But I'm glad I came." Distraught Patient A distraught patient phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true," the woman wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life"? "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the woman continued... "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition? This prescription is marked ' O REFILLS!'" Scary Cure A woman went to doctors office. She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped and asked her what the problem was, and she explained. He had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?"

Prognosis Good (from godlaughs.net) "Doctor, I'd like you to evaluate my 13 year-old son." "OK: He's suffering from a transient psychosis with an intermittent rage disorder, punctuated by episodic radical mood swings, but his prognosis is good for full recovery." "How can you say all that without even meeting him?" "I thought you said he's 13?" A Coughing Funny The owner of a drug store walks in to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall. The owner asks the clerk "What's with that guy over there by the wall?" The clerk replies, "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative." The owner screams, "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with a bottle of laxatives!" The clerk calmly replies, "Of course you can! Look at him; he's afraid to cough!" Poison A lady walked into the drug store and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide. The pharmacist said "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady then explained she needed it to poison her husband. The pharmacist's eyes got big, and he said "Lord have mercy, I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's against the law. I'll lose my license, they'll throw both of us in jail, and all kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not, you can not have any cyanide!" Then the lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, you didn't tell me you had a prescription." Cardiologist's Funeral A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever. At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral.........I'm a gynecologist." Then the proctologist fainted.

THE GAG TEST - Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night). Ditto for things that make you violently ill. EGGS - When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably past its prime. Especially if the something is OT a chicken. DAIRY PRODUCTS - Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already. Cheddar cheese is spoiled when you think it is blue cheese but you realize you've never purchased that kind. Blue cheese, by definition, is never spoiled. MAYO AISE - If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, the mayonnaise is spoiled. FROZE FOODS - Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled - (or wrecked anyway) by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife. EXPIRATIO DATES - This is OT a marketing ploy to encourage you to throw away perfectly good food so that you'll spend more on groceries. Perhaps you'd benefit by having a calender in your kitchen. MEAT - If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three- block radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled. (or the smell alone can make you violently ill and/or unconscious) BREAD - Sesame seeds and Poppy seeds are the only officially acceptable "spots" that should be seen on the surface of any loaf of bread. Fuzzy and hairy looking

CEREAL - It is generally a good rule of thumb that cereal should be discarded when it is two years or longer beyond the expiration date. LETTUCE - Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the vegetable crisper without Comet. Romaine lettuce is spoiled when it turns liquid. CA ED GOODS - Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a softball should be disposed of. Carefully. CARROTS - A carrot that you can tie in a clove hitch in is not fresh. RAISI S - Raisins should not be harder than your teeth. POTATOES - Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth. CHIP DIP - If you can take it out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has gone bad. EMPTY CO TAI ERS - Putting empty containers back into the refrigerator is an old trick, but it only works if you live with someone or have a maid. U MARKED ITEMS - You know it is well beyond prime when you're tempted to discard the Tupperware along with the food. Generally speaking, Tupperware containers should not burp when you open them. GE ERAL RULE OF THUMB - Most food cannot be kept longer than the average life span of a hamster. Keep a hamster in or nearby your refrigerator to gauge this. G GOD

  • 21. HEAVE This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi. As they "oohed and aahed" the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. "It's free," Peter replied, "this is Heaven." ext they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to. They would have golfing privileges everyday and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, "what are the green fees?". Peter's reply, "This is heaven, you play for free." ext they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the world laid out. "How much to eat?" asked the old man. "Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!" Peter replied with some exasperation. "Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?" the old man asked timidly. Peter lectured, "That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven." With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, "This is all your fault. If it weren't for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!"

HUMOR A D LAUGHTER FMC founder Cal Samra well remembers the time, 16 years ago, when he was in a deep depression. Struggling with health problems, he moved from Michigan to Arizona, where he tried to find relief at a Franciscan retreat center. Several of the Franciscans who staffed the center "were really wits," he recalled. "In the kitchen, they had a print of Jesus laughing by Willis Wheatley. They were quite buoyant and cheerful people." With the encouragement of the Franciscans and a prayer group, "I began to see
  • 23. Jesus in a different light," Mr. Samra said. "They helped me out of this through prayer and laughter." Laughing Jesus Mr. Samra began collecting prints of a joyful Christ from different faith traditions, and eventually wrote a popular book titled, "The Joyful Christ -- The Healing Power of Humor." His heroes became St. Francis of Assisi, who instructed his followers to "be cheerful and of a merry heart," and St. Teresa of Avila, who prayed, "From somber, serious, sullen saints, save us, O Lord!" In 1986, the author organized the Fellowship of Merry Christians in response to requests from clergy and laity alike, and began publishing "The Joyful oiseletter." "It's one of the only grassroots organizations in the country to bring people from all these denominations into a fellowship of good cheer," he explained. "Humor is a very powerful evangelistic and healing tool." hy did the Resurrected Stranger accuse Cleopas and his companion of being foolish and slow hearted? "Then He said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken" (Luke 24:25). Isn't a fool, one who acts out with his life what he believes in his heart, that there is no God? "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 53:1). Foolishness must then be based on the denial of God and His Word; however slight or innocent it may sound. When we take the position of rejecting God's Word or His prophets, we take the position of fools. Slowness of heart "to believe all that the prophets have spoken" (Luke 24:25), is a dullness that retards and impedes confidence in God. This is backwardness in the professed Body of Christ. "Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat" (Hebrews 5:11-12). This backwardness is a backslidden state of heart, that must be turned away from. "Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto Thee; for Thou art the LORD our God" (Jeremiah 3:22). It seems obvious to us now that the LORD Jesus had often told his disciples during the last year of His earthly ministry that He was to suffer, die, and rise from the dead. "From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day" (Matthew 16:21). But, the disciples already had a preconceived notion of their Messiah on the earthly Throne of David-- and soon. The Apostle Peter went so far as to rebuke the LORD for making, what appeared to him, that offensive statement. "Then Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from Thee, LORD: this shall not be unto Thee. But He turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind Me, Satan: thou art an offence unto Me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men" (16:22-23).

Rita Snowden, "Was it ever recorded of a dour preacher that 'the common people heard him gladly?' To some ponderous souls there is something a little irreverent in the suggestion that Jesus had sometimes 'a twinkle' in His eye. It is hard to think why--children were not repelled by Himn; there was something different about this religious teacher. Young people were happy to have Him with them on the happiest day of their lives--at their wedding-feast. He was plainly not the sort of over-serious Preacher whose main interest on such occasions was to speak a solemn word in season. He was far too balanced a Person for that. Life was God's gift-the whole of it. Because its issues belonged to Eternity, it was often in time, quite laughable."

Chambers ~"Happiness is not a goal; it is a by product" Eleanor Roosevelt ~"There are those who give joy, and that joy is their reward" Kahlil Gibran ~"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise man grows it under his feet" James Openhelm ~"Comedy is tragedy plus time" Carol Burnett My Mom always says "Choose to be happy". Calvin and I have talked a lot about this for the past several months, comparing the person who wears all of his emotions on his sleeve for the world to see, and the person who hides all emotions. Most of us are somewhere in between those two extremes. I am a product of my family. (Aren't we all?) In my family we were taught, by example, to choose happiness. That sounds great. And I still am of the persuasion that it is a good thing. But when does "choosing to be happy" become a lie? That has been the focus of the discussions Calvin and I have had lately. I'd like to add at this point I am no "Mary Poppins/Doris Day, head in the clouds or the sand" type. I get depressed. Especially as a teenager, which I think is common. And sometimes things happen that you can't overlook. But over all I choose to be happy. At least that is the way I have seen it. This is an example of a situation that concerns Calvin. He says or does something that bothers me. I choose to ignore it. For the most part in our marriage I have never shown irritation. He says that by doing that I put him at a disadvantage. He asked me how he can know to fix something he doesn't know is a problem. He said I am doing our marriage a disservice to stay quiet about things like that. So over the past few months I have tried to be aware of that and I try to say if something bothers me.
  • 27. Another "family trait" I have is to "put on a happy face". In my family, especially the women, when you walk out the door and face non-family members you smile. And I like that, I am most comfortable being that way. My question now after all this discussion about this is; is it a lie to appear happy when something is bothering you? Don't look at me,,, I don't know the answer yet! LOL. I'm just thinking outloud. I do know that, although I may need to modify some aspects of the way I react to things, I still choose to be happy.

But one evening Mary arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a load of wash in the washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete with flowers. She was astonished, and she immediately wanted to know what was going on. It turned out that Charley, her husband, had read a magazine article that suggested working wives would be more romantically inclined if they weren't so tired from having to do all the housework, in addition to holding down a full-time job. The next day, she couldn't wait to tell her girlfriends at the office. "How did it work out?" they asked. Mary said.

  • 31. The tiny red string on the Band-Aid wrapper never works for you. You can never put anything back in a box the way it came. Three hours and three meetings after lunch you look in the mirror and discover a piece of parsley stuck to your front tooth. You slice your tongue licking an envelope. Your tire gauge lets out half the air while you're trying to get a reading. A station comes in brilliantly when you're standing near the radio but buzzes, drifts and spits every time you move away. There are always one or two ice cubes that won't pop out of the tray. You wash a garment with a tissue in the pocket and your entire laundry comes out covered with lint. The car behind you blasts its horn because you let a pedestrian finish crossing. You set the alarm on your digital clock for 7 pm instead of 7 am. The radio station doesn't tell you who sang that song. You rub on hand cream and can't turn the bathroom doorknob to get out. Your glasses slide off your ears when you perspire. You can't look up the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because you don't know how to spell it. You had that pen in your hand only a second ago and now you can't find it. You reach under the table to pick something off the floor and smash your head on the way up. Trying to find a package of hot dog buns with the same number of buns as the number of hot dogs. The waitress that took the order in a clockwise manner comes with the food and says, "Who got the fish?" Just when you figure out which is which with the cable channels, they rearrange them. The person at the checkout counter is waiting on you and taking your money and talking and paying attention only to their co-worker. You fix or put something together and there's a part left over. Someone decides you've just got to hear about the big surprise ending in the movie you were going to see. Some mysterious person sneaks into your house and puts the drink container back into the fridge with just a few drops left in it. Tele-marketers phone calls. That guy on the plane that "carried on" his entire wardrobe. J JESUS LAUGHED
  • 32. “I received several angry letters from readers of my book Living Faith because I commented there that Jesus could easily have substituted for Jay Leno of David Letterman on the late-night talk shows. My correspondents seemed to believe it was sacrilegious to think that Jesus Christ had s sense of humor.” “It is a shame that so many people believe that Jesus was always solemn, and that therefore the proper demeanor for his followers is to be grim, stern, even haughty toward others. In fact, Jesus has a good time, and he encouraged his disciples to join him in enjoying life.” “Did Jesus laugh? Yes, he did-often, and with a full heart.” JESUS SAVES Jesus and Satan have an discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes,taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better." Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, "B- b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact. How did he do it?" God smiled all-knowingly, "Jesus saves."

Amazon has books full of them. ~jeff Professional "Courtesy" A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?" "I give the advice to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill." The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.

There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom." He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. othing happened. Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But, you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty." The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty. "But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door." The jury foreman replied, "Oh, we looked, but your client didn't." Got Him! A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over lawyers he would see walking down the side of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him, and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then he would swerve back onto the road. One day, he saw a priest hitchhiking. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over. He asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?" "I'm going to the church 5 miles down the road," replied the priest. " o problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in the truck." The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road. Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively he swerved to hit him. But he remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, so at the last minute he swerved back away, narrowly missing the lawyer. However, even though he was sure he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "THUMP". ot

A lawyer and two friends (a lawyer with friends? ok, you know this is a joke), a Rabbi and a Hindu holy man, had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend the night with a farmer. The farmer said "There might be a problem; you see, I only have room for two to sleep, so one of you must sleep in the barn." " o problem," chimed the Rabbi, "My people wandered in the desert for forty years, I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for an evening." With that he departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the night. Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened the door. There stood the Rabbi from the barn. "What's wrong?" asked the farmer. He replied, "I am grateful to you , but I can't sleep in the barn. There is a pig in the barn and my faith believes that is an unclean animal." His Hindu friend agrees to swap places with him. But a few minutes late the same scene reoccurs. There is a knock on the door. "What's wrong, now?" the farmer asks. The Hindu holy man replies, "I too am grateful for your helping us out but there is a cow in the barn and in my country cows are considered sacred. I can't sleep on holy ground!" Well, that leaves only the lawyer to make the change. He grumbled and complained, but went out to the barn. Moments later there was another knock on the farmers door.

One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, a doctor took the aisle seat next to the two attorneys. The doctor kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the attorney in the window seat said, "I think I will get up and get a coke." " o problem," said the doctor. "I'll get it for you."

When he returned with the coke the other attorney said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too." Again, the doctor obligingly went to fetch the coke. While he was gone, the other attorney picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The doctor returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

Mrs. Jones Knows All During a trial, in a small Missouri town, the local prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand. She was sworn in, asked if she would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, on the Bible, so help her God. The witness was a proper well-dressed elderly lady, the Grandmother type, well spoken and poised. The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk badly about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the sense to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper-pushing shyster." "Yes, I know you quite well." The lawyer was stunned. He couldn't even think for a few minutes. Then, slowly backed away, fearing the looks on the judge and jurors' faces, not to mention the court reporter who documented every word. ot knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster too. He's lazy, bigoted, has a bad drinking problem. The man can't build or keep a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. ot to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him." The defense attorney almost fainted and was seen slipping downward in his chair, looking at the floor. Laughter mixed with gasps thundered throughout the courtroom and the audience was on the verge of chaos. At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both counselors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of you morons asks her if she

You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-savings time. People who feel the need to tell you that they have an excellent sense of humor are telling you that they have no sense of humor. The most valuable function performed by the federal government is entertainment. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. A penny saved is worthless. They can hold all the peace talks they want, but there will never be peace in the Middle East. Billions of years from now, when Earth is hurtling toward the Sun and there is nothing left alive on the planet except a few microorganisms, the microorganisms living in the Middle East will be bitter enemies. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we all believe that we are above-average drivers. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. There apparently exists, somewhere in Los Angeles, a computer that generates concepts for television sitcoms. When TV executives need a new concept, they turn on this computer; after sorting through millions of possible plot premises, it spits out, "THREE QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOU G PEOPLE LIVI G I A APARTME T," and the executives turn this concept into a show. The next time
  • 41. they need an idea, the computer spits out, "SIX QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOU G PEOPLE LIVI G I A APARTME T." Then the next time, it spits out, "FOUR QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOU G PEOPLE LIVI G I A APARTME T." And so on. We need to locate this computer and destroy it with hammers. obody is normal. At least once per year, some group of scientists will become very excited and announce that: The universe is even bigger than they thought! There are even more subatomic particles than they thought! Whatever they announced last year about global warming is wrong. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them. The value of advertising is that it tells you the exact opposite of what the advertiser actually thinks. For example: If the advertisement says "This is not your father's Oldsmobile," the advertiser is desperately concerned that this Oldsmobile, like all other Oldsmobiles, appeals primarily to old farts like your father. If Coke and Pepsi spend billions of dollars to convince you that there are significant differences between these two products, both companies realize that Pepsi and Coke are virtually identical. If the advertisement strongly suggests that ike shoes enable athletes to perform amazing feats, ike wants you to disregard the fact that shoe brand is unrelated to athletic ability If Budweiser runs an elaborate advertising campaign stressing the critical importance of a beer's "born-on" date, Budweiser knows this factor has virtually nothing to do with how good a beer tastes. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle. You should not confuse your career with your life. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. o matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. Your friends love you anyway. obody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. LIVI G WILL
