    WOMEN'S REVENGE
    "Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
    As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
    "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
    "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
    and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."


    UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
    (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

    I know I'm not going to understand women.
    I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
    pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
    and still be afraid of a spider.


    MARRIAGE SEMINAR

    While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,
    Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor,
    "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."
    He addressed the man,
    "Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"
    Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?


    CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS

    A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
    The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
    He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
    She directs him down the correct aisle.
    A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
    She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
    He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store
    to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco
    and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
    So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.
    (I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)


    WIFE VS. HUSBAND

    A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
    An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
    neither of them wanted to concede their position.
    As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
    the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
    "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."


    WORDS

    A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
    30,000 to a man's 15,000.
    The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
    The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"


    CREATION

    A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
    so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
    "The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
    God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
    God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!


    WHO DOES WHAT
    A man and his wife were having an argument about who
    should brew the coffee each morning.
    The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first,
    and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
    The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and
    you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
    Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
    Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
    So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says .......... "HEBREWS"


    The Silent Treatment
    A man and his wife were having some problems at home
    and were giving each other the silent treatment.
    Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
    at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
    Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
    "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
    The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
    when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
    The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
    Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.


    God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

    Re: All things E-mail

    Tissue time!

    Two Choices

    What would you do? You make the choice! Don't look for a punch line; there isn't one! Read it anyway. My question to all of you is: Would you have made the same choice?

    At a fund-raising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

    "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"

    The audience was stilled by the query.

    The father continued. "I believe,that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child."

    Then he told the following story:

    Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

    Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."

    Shay struggled over to the team's bench, put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

    In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

    At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hitwas all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

    However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The
    pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

    The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

    Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

    Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!"

    Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He
    could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. As
    Shay neared third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third! "

    All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"

    As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming, "Shay, run home! " Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.

    That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.

    Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!


    AND, NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes via e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.

    If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people on your address list that aren't the "appropriate" ones to receive this type of message. Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the "natural order of things." So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up that opportunity to brighten the day of those with us the least able, and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

    A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats its least fortunate amongst them.

    You now have two choices:
    1. Delete
    2. Forward

    May your day be a Shay Day: sunny today, tomorrow & always...
    Holy Cow!

    Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.

    Re: All things E-mail

    Apparently going around NY at the moment. 1st is a girl's apology email
    for cheating on some bloke. 2nd is his reply which was Bcc'd to his entire address book. He makes some excellent points.


    Brad,

    It would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel
    like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am truly
    truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people in the
    whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I would ever
    want to wrong in any way. There is no excuse at all or anything that happened, so I won't even try other than to say all of us had WAY too much to drink, and I did a stupid thing. I can handle you being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve it, I can even handle the ugly words that were exchanged between us, what I can't handle is thinking that you see me as a different person. It is weird, I feel like I just went through a horrible break up or something.

    The world looked funny yesterday, I couldn't crack a smile if you paid me, there are songs I can't listen to, and I just feel beyond crushed. I don't know if you meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn't.

    I know that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this is something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and stupid, but you have come to play such a significant role in my life, I can't imagine my days without you. It is totally strange and weird to say that, and you could say that my behaviour didn't reflect that, and you would be correct.

    I hate feeling like you hate me, and I hate feeling like all of your friends think say or do to take back what happened, but I just want you to know that fighting with you was just about the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It was right up there with one of the ugliest nights of my life, and I would give anything in the world to rewind and fix it.

    I am not sure if you will respond to this, part of me thinks that you won't.
    If not today, then maybe some other time.

    Also, thanks for getting my stuff together, although I think my sunglasses
    are still at your house, if you could keep your eyes peeled for them that
    would be great. I can't even focus or work today, I can't eat, I seriously
    feel like it was an ugly break up, and I am hoping against hopes that it
    was not that and you are not done with me. Please don't cut me off, I really don't think I can handle that.

    I am so sorry.

    Elizabeth




    RESPONSE:

    Dear Elizabeth,

    Thank you for your concern. I'll be sure to file it away under "L"
    for "Long-winded diatribes from drunken whores I couldn't care less about".

    You did a stupid thing huh? No...doing long division and forgetting to
    carry the one is "a stupid thing"; Mixing in a red sock with a load of
    whites is "a stupid thing"; Blowing some guy in a bathroom for 45minutes
    while I sit at the bar wondering if you're taking so long because you ate
    too much bran that morning isn't as much a "Stupid thing" as it is grounds
    for permanent removal from my social calendar.

    To be honest, I'm not sure if it was more amusing that you went and degraded yourself in a public toilet not once but twice in a 2 hour span, or that you seemed to think that by saying "Well, I didn't F**k him" somehow gave you a clean slate.

    So forgive me if I couldn't care less if the world "looked funny" to you yesterday. Since your world revolves around blow dryers, golden retrievers, Prada Bags and Jelly Beans, I'm sure it must have been most unsettling to actually have to consider someone else's feelings for 24 hours straight.

    The good news for you is that my friends don't think you're a terrible
    person, they just think you're the average run of the mill cum-guzzling
    blond who commands about as much respect as your average child porn
    collector.

    I could be wrong but, it's pretty hard to respect some B&T chick who comes out to spend the night at my place even though she's seeing someone else in New jersey and winds up tongue-bathing the taint of anyone who decides 30 minutes of droning commentary on Colin Farrell's new haircut is worth putting up with for a hand job in the men's room.

    The good thing about being a guy is that when I eventually bump into the young lad who finger-blasted you on top of a towel dispenser last saturday, we'll have a shot and laugh our heads off about the time it
    happened.

    By the way, for the amount of time you claim to spend in spin class you
    really must be doing something wrong to sport the thunder thighs
    you do. Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate. Thought you might like to know.

    PS. I BCC'd about 100 people on this email.

    Talk to you never,
    Brad
    Start every day with a smile.... and get it over with

    Re: All things E-mail

    Just hot off the press from a work colleauge.....

    A farmer's dog died suddenly after a long and happy life.

    The farmer visited the parish priest to arrange a funeral.

    Farmer: I'd like to have a proper funeral for my dog, who died
    last night.

    Priest: I'm sorry, we don't conduct funerals for pets. You can
    try the Christian church down the road - I think they
    perform dog funerals.

    Farmer: All right. Do you think £25,000 will be enough to cover
    their expenses for the service?

    Priest: Why didn't you tell me the dog was Catholic?
    They said it could'nt be done, so I did'nt do it

    Re: All things E-mail

    Got this one today - must say that normally I just delete them!!


    Subject: Sing along to the tune of "I will survive"


    At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

    When you said you had 10 inches,

    Lord, I almost died!

    But I'd spent so many years waiting for a man that long,

    That I grew strong,

    and I knew that I could take you on....

    But there you are, another lie,

    I was ready for a big Mac

    and you've bought me a French fry!

    I should have known that it was bullshit,

    just a sad pathetic dream,

    Should have known there was no anaconda lurking in those jeans!

    Go on now go, walk out the door,

    Don't you promise me 10 inches,

    then turn up with only 4!

    Weren't you a brat to think I wouldn't catch you out!?

    Don't you know we're only joking

    when we say size doesn't count???!

    (Chorus)

    I will survive! I will survive!

    'Cos as long as I have batteries, My sex life is gonna thrive!

    I will always have good sex

    with a handful of latex!

    I will survive! I will survive!. .

    Hey! Hey!

    It took all my self control

    not to laugh out loud,

    When I saw your little weiner standing tall and proud!

    But to hell with all your egos

    and to hell with all your needs

    Now I'm saving all my lovin' for a cordless multispeed!

    (Chorus)
    I have the mens rea, fancy an actus reus?

    Re: All things E-mail

    On the farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together. One day, the two were playing when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink. Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help!

    Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor. Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Z-3 series BMW. Finding the keys inside, the chicken sped off with a length of rope, hoping he still had time to save his friend's life.

    Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive in the shiny BMW, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him. After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's car, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful car, rescued the horse!

    Happy and proud, the chicken drove the BMW back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned. The friendship between the two animals was cemented: best buddies, best pals.

    A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life! The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle.

    Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his "thing" and he would then lift him out of the pit. The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.

    The moral of the story?

    When you're hung like a horse, you don't need a BMW to pick up chicks.

    For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

    At COMDEX recently, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

    In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

    1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

    2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

    3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

    4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

    5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five percent of the roads.

    6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

    7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

    8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

    9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

    10. Oh yeah, and last but not least . . . you'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off!

    Hmm, think I had better log off now, this posting business gets quite complusive!!

    The Husband Store!

    A store that sells husbands has just opened in New
    York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

    You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !

    There are six floors and the attributes of the men
    increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a
    catch . . .. you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store on the first floor the sign on the door reads:

    Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

    The second floor sign reads:

    Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love
    kids.

    The third floor sign reads:

    Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
    kids, and are extremely good looking.

    "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

    She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

    Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
    kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the
    housework.

    "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

    Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

    Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
    kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

    She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth
    floor and the sign
    reads:

    Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012th to this floor.

    There are no men on
    this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that
    women are impossible to please.

    Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch
    your step as you exit

    :lol:

    Is this cute or scary?

    Glad I'm not the only one with a talking cat!
    My Spike says "milk" "wet" and "mum"

    Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic.

    Re: All things E-mail

    A bloke stops by to visit his mate who has a broken leg.

    His friend says, "My feet are freezing - can you go and get me my slippers from upstairs, please?"

    The guy goes upstairs, and there are his mate's gorgeous twin 18 year old daughters. "Hi girls. Your dad sent me up here to sleep with you ."

    The first daughter says, "That's not true."

    He says, "I'll prove it."

    He yells down the stairs, "Both of them?"

    His mate yells back, "Of course, both of them."

    PURPLE HATS

    In honor of women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer. Pass this on to five women that you want watched over. If you don't know five women to pass this on to, one will do just fine.


    IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
    (written after she found out she was dying from cancer.)

    I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

    I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

    I would have talked less and listened more.

    I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

    I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace

    I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

    I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

    I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

    I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

    I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

    I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

    Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

    When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's. "More "I'm sorry's."

    But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it. Live it and never give it back. Stop sweating the small stuff.

    Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

    Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally. I hope you all have a blessed day.



    Send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends. Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier. Please send this to five phenomenal women today in celebration of Beautiful Women's Month. If you do, something good will happen: you will boost another woman's self esteem.

    How to Stay Young

    1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

    2. Keep only cheerful friends.
    The grouches pull you down... Keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches

    3. Keep learning:
    Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
    "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
    And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

    4. Enjoy the simple things.

    5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time with HIM/HER.

    6. The tears happen:
    Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

    7. Surround yourself with what you love:
    Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
    8. Cherish your health:
    If it is good, preserve it.
    If it is unstable, improve it.
    If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

    9. Don't take guilt trips.
    Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

    10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

    11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

    And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?
    But do share this with someone.
