A Thought for Today
All need is but a plain name for desire.
OK, OK it may not be the right stuff but it's the real stuff.
CHOOSING SIDES
Kyletta is always ready with a punch . . and a counter punch.
IT WASN'T A VERY GOOD YEAR
Woman's Wine Quote: "Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which you'd like to have dinner with."
Men's Counter-Quote: "Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn
full - bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache."
OH SHUT UP!
Ellen lives to make delicious chicken dinners and drive men (and other mammals)
mad (a very short drive for some of us). If these questions don't send you 'round the bend, nothing will.
PUT A SOCK IN IT!
1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around
several times, does he become disoriented?
2. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
3. Why do we say something is out of whack? What's a whack?
4. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
5. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
6. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
7. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts",
and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
8. Why is the man who invests all your money called a Broker?
9. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? They're just stale bread to begin with.
10. When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?
11. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person drives a race car not called a racist?
12. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
13. Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
14. Why isn't 11 pronounced "onety one"?
15. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?
16. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree
surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
17. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?
18. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?
19. What hair color do they put on the drivers licenses of bald men?
20. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on me. . they're cramming for their final exam.
21. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered,
what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
22. Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look out them while they delivered the mail?
23. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
24. If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
THE JEWISH MOTHER
Hugs and Molly sent this.
A DILEMMA
After many years, a Jewish mother gets the phone call she never thought she'd get from her openly gay son.
"Mom, I've met a wonderful girl. I'm going straight, and we're
going to get married."
Mom is overjoyed, but can't really believe things are that good. "I suppose it's too much to ask that she's Jewish?"
Her son says, "Mom, not only is she Jewish, but she happens to be from very wealthy and prominent Beverly Hills family."
Mom is beside herself with joy, and says, "You don't know how happy you've made me. What's her name?"
The son says, "Monica Lewinsky."
Mom is silent for a moment, and then says, "What happened to that nice Catholic boy you used to date?"
NOW I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING
Jane of Ark provided this one.
A SHAGGY DUCK STORY
A circus owner walked a bar to see everyone crowded
around a table watching a little show. On the table was an unside-down pot and a duck tap dancing on it. The
circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy the duck from the owner.
After some wheeling and dealing they settled for $10,000 for the duck and the pot.
Three days later the circus owner runs back to the bar in anger. "Your duck is a rip-off! I put him on the pot before
a whole audience and he didn't dance a single step!"
Asked the duck's former owner, "Did you remember to
light the candle under the pot?"

OUCH
Ellen filed this report from the great Northwest.
ANYONE AROUND HERE SEEN A SPOTTED OWL?
A lady from California purchased a piece of timberland in
Oregon. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to get a good view of her land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top, she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her.
In her haste to escape, the lady slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her private parts. In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor.
He listened to her story then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry lady demanded, "What took you so long?"
The unperturbed doctor replied, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection
Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove
old - growth timber from a recreational area."
MERLOT MY DEAR?
Rose overheard this at Spago or was it Prago?
MAY I HAVE A MENU?
A man enters his favorite ritzy restaurant and, while sitting at his regular table, he notices a gorgeous woman sitting at a nearby table all alone. He calls the waiter over and asks for their most expensive bottle of Merlot to be sent over to her knowing that if she accepts it, she is his.
The waiter gets the bottle and quickly sends it over to the girl, saying this is from the gentleman. She looks at the wine and decides to send a note over to the man.
The note read: "For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank, and seven inches in your pants."
The man, after reading this note, sends a note of his own back to her, and it read: "Just so you know, I happen to have a Ferrari Testarosa, a BMW 850iL, and a Mercedes 560SEL in my garage, and I have over twenty-million dollars in the bank. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as yourself, would I cut three inches off. JUST SEND THE BOTTLE BACK."
THE FINAL WORD
Today it belongs to Ralph Jones
DUBYA'S MATH
During Dubya's news conference, he explained the importance of funding math education: "Because there's three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who can't."
In the spirit of spring forward, fall back don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour
tonight. See you tomorrow for "Some of the Best." Sleep warm.
