A husband and his wife are settled in bed reading, when the wife glances over at him and asks him the eternal question....

WIFE: "How come? Don't you enjoy being married?"

HUSBAND: "Well... yes. Of course I do."

WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry? "

HUSBAND: "Sheesh! Well... all right, yes, maybe I would then."

2nd - Dharam Khalsa with:
The Bottle of Wine

A woman and a man are involved in a sudden spin accident on a cold snowy morning. It's a bad one, for both of their cars are totally
demolished, but neither of them is hurt. After they crawl out of the wreck, the man is discernibly muttering about "All you woman drivers!"

The woman responds, "Yes, I'm a woman - so what!? Just look at the cars! There's nothing left, but we're not hurt. Perhaps it's a sign
from the benevolent Lord that we should make peace and live as friends, beautifying the rest of our days."

The man blushes, "Oh, I agree completely - it must be a sign from God!

=

But it's still your error...a birdbrain woman should NEVER be allowed to drive!"

The woman says, "Mercy! Look at this - a miracle! My car is completely demolished, but a bottle of fine burgundy wine survived. Surely
God wants us to share this red wine and celebrate our good fortune."

She offers the wine to the gruff man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and scarfs half the bottle, and offers it back to
the woman. The woman reclaims the bottle, puts the cap on, and hands it to the man.

The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"

The woman replies, "No, I'm just going to wait for the police..."

Dharam Khalsa with:
The Successes in Life

At the very young age of four, success is...not piddling in your pants.
At age sixteen, success is...having a driver's license.
At age seventeen, success is...having many friends.
At age thirty-five, success is...having money.
~
At age sixty-five, success is...having money.
At age seventy-four, success is...having coherent chums.
At age seventy-nine, success is...still having a drivers license.
At age eighty-four, friends, success is defined as...not peeing in your pants.

Rosie Perera with:
Seen on the Internet: "Sarah Palin is the only honest, experienced, and real politician left in America. Everything she says is brilliant and wise and conservative and perfect. She is a genius and a saint. And anyone who disagrees is a dirty socialist who hates America."=
What?! That is either an extra clever parody or some insane person (her?) really believes it. Anyway -- the thing is, in some cases the Right's asinine view (disdaining education an' teachin' as a needless hindrance in a sincere national candidate's plans) is a parody of itself.

Dharam Khalsa with:
Quote from employee motivator Mac Anderson:
"Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise,
risking more than others think is safe,
dreaming more than others think is practical
and expecting more than others think is possible."

=

Most people agree that exercise is harder than all the other common tasks.
Its aim requires commitment and persistence, like sixty minutes, or even more,
thrashing in a pool's chlorination doing the backstroke...thinking of French fries!
Now thrash!!

Dharam Khalsa with:
My advice for the New Year's weekend: If you have a lot to drink or get tension headaches, follow the instructions on the aspirin bottle:
~
"Take two, best with food", then a release: "No alcohol or other drugs; discontinue in the event of any sensitivity; keep away from children."

Sonnet for Christmas

3rd - Tony Crafter with:
Dear Granddaughter,

The other day I went up to our local Christian bookstore and saw a 'Honk If You Love Jesus' bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I'd just come from a really rousing choir performance, followed by the most memorable prayer meeting. So, I bought a sticker and put it on my bumper.

Mamma mia! Am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience followed next!

I was stopped at a red light at this busy intersection, momentarily lost in thought about the Lord and how great He is, and didn't see that the lights had changed.

It's a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if that man hadn't honked, I wouldn't have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the man behind started honking like crazy, and then leant out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God, woman, go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida amongst them all because I heard him yell something about a sunny beach. I saw another man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my grandson (your cousin Norman) in the back seat what that meant. Norman said it was probably some Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the sign right back!

Norman burst out laughing. Yes, even he was enjoying this religious experience!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the glory of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I went to, but that's when I saw the lights had changed. So I waved at all my brothers and sisters and, grinning, drove on across the intersection.

I noticed that I was the only car to get through the intersection before the lights changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we'd shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove off.

Praise our Lord for such wonderful folks!

Will write again soon,

Love from,
Grandmomma.

IDIOTS? NO; MEN ARE JUST JOLLIER!

IDIOTIC NICKNAMES
If Viv, Kathy and Vicki go out for lunch, they will call each other Viv, Kathy and Vicki.

If Dick, David and John go out, they will jokily refer to each other as, Earwigo, Coyotebreath and Testicle.

EATING OUT/DIVIDING
When the bill arrives, Dick, David and John will readily throw in twenty dollars each, even though it is only for thirty-three dollars eighty. None of them will have anything smaller and will avoid admitting they want change back.

When the girls receive their bill, out come the pocket calculators and it is divided exactly.

MONEY
A man will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item that he needs.

A woman will pay one dollar for a two-dollar item that she does not need but it's on sale.

BATHROOM IDEOLOGY
A man has six things in his bathroom: a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving gel, a good razor, soap, and a towel.

The number of things in the average woman's bathroom is about three hundred and thirty-eight. A guy would not be able to identify more than twenty of these.

ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is adjudged to be the start of a new argument.

THE FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

GETTING MARRIED
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he does not.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP
A woman will get dressed up to go shopping, give the plants a watering, empty the trash, cook, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A guy will get dressed up for weddings and funerals.

LOOKING GOOD OVERNIGHT
Men wake up looking just as good as when they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

CHILDREN
Ah, the joy of children! A woman is dedicated to, and knows all about, her children. She knows about their dentist appointments, romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret fears, hopes, ideas and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

FAULTFINDING - THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There is no use in two people remembering the same thing!

HOW TO SURVIVE THE CHRISTMAS HANGOVER

6 out of 10 luckless workers who report to the office after Christmas spend an average of 1 to 2 hours just "staring into space."

Skull throbs? Fucked off? Here's how to troubleshoot the torturous hurt:

1. DRINK WATER: As you're a sick dehydrated puppy, tubfuls before bed and when you wake up help. Fruit juice, too, replaces the vitamins lost; the sucrose content in the juice will help revivify energy levels.

2. DEVOUR THE FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST: Just the sheer number of calories gives one the much-needed kick. Eggs and fatty meat are quite stuffed with the amino acid cysteine, which could be good at clearing out toxins.

3. TAKE ONE RAW EGG: An effective cure because of the protein and antioxidant content [BUT just doubles the nausea for quite a few]. Check this cocktail out: "The Virgin Fogcutter"

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 drop Tabasco
1 raw egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix together, pour concoction and drink.

4. GOT "HAIR OF THE DOG"?: Sufferers vouch that a Bloody Mary or a pint of effervescent beer the morning after works. [TRUE? Tut, tut, tut! TRUTH: While absorbing another alcoholic drink could quite fix a hangover, this is just a temporary effect and is only postponing the misery.]
