By the way, on some of the pictures, if you hover your pointer over the picture, ya might find a comment from me on it,
now that I've learned how to do that.
Now its time for the show to start & I think we'll start now!!!!
One day a farmer's donkey fell
down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer
tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the
animal was old
and the well needed to be covered
up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to
retrieve the
donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to
shovel dirt into the
well. At first, the donkey
realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few
shovel loads
later, the farmer finally looked down
the well and was astonished at what he
saw. With every
shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
something amazing. He would shake it off and take a
step up. As the
farmer's neighbors continued to
shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would
shake it
off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was
amazed as the
donkey stepped up over the edge of the
well and trotted off!
Life is
going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of
dirt. The trick to getting out of
the well is to shake
it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is
a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells
just by not
stopping, never giving up! Shake it off
and take a step up!
Remember
the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2.
Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect
less.

Imagine this happening to you.

One Sunday morning during service, a 2,000
member
congregation was surprised to see two men enter,
both
covered from head to toe in black and
carrying
submachine guns. One of the men
proclaimed,"Anyone
willing to take a bullet for Christ remain
where you
are."
*
Immediately, the choir fled,the deacons fled, and most
of the
congregation fled. Out of the 2,000 there only
remained around
20.
*
The man who had spoken took off his
hood, looked at
the preacher and said "Okay Pastor, I got rid
of all
the hypocrites. Now you may begin your service. Have
a
nice day!" And the two men turned and walked
out.
*
Too deep not to pass
on...
*
Funny how simple it is for people to
trash God ... and
then wonder why the world is in the
condition it is today..
*
Funny how we
believe what the newspapers say, but
question what the Bible
says.
*
Funny how everyone wants to go to
heaven provided they
do not have to believe, think, say, or do
anything the
Bible says.
*
Funny or is it scary?
*
Funny how someone
can say "I believe in God" but still
follow Satan (who,by the
way, also "believes"in God).

How To
Wash The Cat!
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add
the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water.
3. Obtain
the cat and carry him to the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet
and close both lids
(you may need
to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
CAUTION: Do not get
any part of your body too close to the edge, as his
paws will be
reaching out for anything he can find.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides
a "power wash and rinse"
which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure
that there are no
people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and
quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and
run outside where he
will dry himself.
Sincerely, The DOG
folks, I think I've ran this one before but well just another reminder.
Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 A.M. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking,
he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN
HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA),
designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE
IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO)
to see how much he could spend today. After setting his
watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN SWEDEN)
he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his
search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day,
Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine
(MADE IN CHILE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA),
and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....
One time when I was home visiting my folks, my mom asked me to
set the table for dinner. I opened the refrigerator and taped to the inside of
the door was a risqué picture of a lovely, slender, perfectly built, but
scantily-clad young woman.
"Mom, what's this?" I asked.
"Oh, I put that up there to remind me not to over-eat," she
answered.
"Is it working?" I asked.
"Yes and no," she explained. "I've lost 15 pounds, but your dad
has gained 20!"

Diet Questions Answered:
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.
Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's
it...don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out
eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live
longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your
car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and
vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a
cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables.
So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism
of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?
Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass
(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you
100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable
slop.
Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?
A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and
vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything
in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and
vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal,
and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so
that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a
burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your
ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio
is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in
a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is:
No Pain - Good.
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in
vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How
could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: What's the secret to healthy eating?
A: Thicker gravy.
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little
soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets
bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a
bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? Cocoa beans...another vegetable. It's
the best feel good food around! I hope this has cleared up
any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
Have a cookie...flour is a grain!
A man walks into a Chinese restaurant but is told by the
Maitre'd that
there will be at least a twenty minute wait.
"Would you like to wait in
the bar, Sir?", he says.
The man goes into the bar and the bartender
says, "What'll
it be?"
The man replies, "Give me a Stoli with a
twist."
The bartender pauses for a few seconds, then smiles and
says,
"Once upon time, there were FOUR little peegs . . . "

UPSTATE JOKES
TO THOSE WHO ARE FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK, NO EXPLANATION IS NECESSARY FOR
THIS EMAIL. TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK, NO EXPLANATION IS
POSSIBLE
You know you are from upstate NY when:
Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the
highway.
"Vacation" means going to Lake George for the weekend.
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
You often switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
You use a down comforter in the summer.
Your parents drive at 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a raging
blizzard, without flinching.
You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
You install security lights on your house and garage, and leave both
unlocked.
You think of the major food groups as venison, fish, and berries.
You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use
them.
There are seven empty cars running in the parking lot at the Stewart's
at
any given time.
You design your kid's harvest celebration costume to fit over a
snowsuit.
Driving in winter is better because the potholes are filled with snow.
You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas. (YOU MEAN
IT'S
NOT ?????)
You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter,
construction.
It takes you 3 hours to go to the store for one item even when you're in
a rush, because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.
You actually understand these jokes and forward then to all your friends
from Upstate NY.
David received a parrot for his birthday. This parrot
was fully grown with a
bad attitude and worse
vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive.
Those
that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude.
David
tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was
constantly saying polite
words, playing soft music, and
anything else that came to mind. Nothing
worked. He
yelled at the bird and the bird got worse. He shook the
bird
and the bird got madder and ruder.
Finally, in a moment of desperation,
David put the
parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the
bird
squawking, kicking and screaming and then,
suddenly, all was
quiet.
David, frightened that he might have actually hurt the
bird,
quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot
calmly stepped out onto David's
extended arm and said,
"I'm sorry that I offended you with my language
and
actions. I ask for your forgiveness."
David was astounded at the
bird's change in attitude and
was about to ask what changed him when the
parrot
continued,
"May I ask what the chicken did?"

"Two New York congressmen Sunday
outlined proposed legislation for the
federal government to spend as much as
$15 billion to install missile
defense systems on all commercial
airliners." (LAT/2/10)
Flight Attendant: "Will those sitting near the
rocket launchers please
read the instructions on their proper
operation?"

M O O N T A L K [||||]
"The special two hour 20-20 in which
[Michael] Jackson was
interviewed... was seen by 27 million viewers."
(LAT/2/10)
Most of whom tuned in to see their first non Roman collared
pedophile.
"Michael said that he's had no plastic surgery other than two
nose
operations to 'let him hit higher notes'."
Maybe, but are
nostrils supposed to catch rain water?
A man decides to join the circus. He shows up to demonstrate
his skills to
the impresario.
"I have the most unusual act," he announces. "I'm sure it
will
amaze you."
He proceeds to climb a tall tower, and jumps off. He
flaps his
arms wildly, and finally his fall slows. He soars forward, then
swoops upward, turns and swoops back again. Finally he stops in
mid air
and gently lowers himself to the ground.
The impresario stares blankly at
him for a long time. Finally
he says, "Is that all you've got? Bird
imitations?"
Two Polacks are driving down the road and get pulled over by a
cop. The cop
tells the driver that he was pulled over because
he didn't signal at the
turn. The Polack argues with the cop
and tells him he did. The cop told him
his light must not be
working and told him to get it fixed.
After the
cop leaves, the driver tells the passenger to get out
and tell him if the
blinker is broken. The Polack passenger
gets out and tells the guy when he
is behind the car to turn on
the blinker. The driver turns on the blinker
and the Polack in
the back of the car yells out, "Yes, no, yes, no,
yes...."
& now your at the end of the letter, I hope that you enjoyed !
