A family was having dinner on Mother's Day. For some reason the mother was unusually quiet. Finally the husband asked what was wrong. "Nothing," said the woman.
Not buying it, he asked again. "Seriously, what's wrong?"
"Do you really want to know? Well, I'll tell you. I have cooked and cleaned and fed the kids for 15 years and on Mother's Day, you don't even tell me so much as 'Thank you'."
"Why should I?" he said. "Not once in 15 years have I gotten a Father's Day gift."
"Yes," she said, "but I'm their real mother."

It was rumored that a particular Native American had a fantastic memory. Hundreds of people asked the Indian questions which he was able to answer. A skeptical young man set out to find
this Indian. When he did, he thought he'd conduct a test.
After standing in a long queue of people asking questions it was finally his turn. He asked the Indian what he had had for breakfast 10 years ago. The Indian replied, "Eggs."
The young man went off not entirely satisfied because there was no evidence to prove that the answer was correct.
Ten years later the man comes across the Indian again. Very pleased to see him he greets him in the stereotypical "How."
The Indian looks up at him, pauses for a moment and then replies, "Scrambled."

The good bishop knew very well that not only did everyone in his small town look to him for an example, but that all too often, all eyes were on him as potential fodder for the local gossip mill, as well. This could be wearing, but usually, he was able to provide the good example and escape the tattlers.

One night, however, after a long, hard day, a social obligation beckoned on top of his church responsibilities, and he came to a sudden stopping place. His hostess, noting that he looked tired, asked with concern, "A spot of tea, Bishop?"

"No, thank you," he managed. "No tea."

"Ah," she said. "Coffee, then?"

"No coffee either, thank you."

In the spirit of conspiracy, she leaned closer and murmured, "I could bring you a scotch and soda in an opaque mug?"

"My dear, this is my last word: NO soda."

A blonde was driving back from the mall when there was a terrible hail storm. Huge hailstones the size of golf balls pelted her car leaving it full of dents. She drove to the body shop and asked what she should do. The body man explained what needed to be done and that it would cost at least $4,000 to repair. She said that was too much and asked if there was some other way to fix it. The body man decided to have a little fun and said, "Well you could blow into the tail pipe real hard and they might pop back out." She decided to give it a try before spending that much money. She drove home and was in the garage with her lips wrapped around the exhaust pipe when her blonde neighbor came over to visit. "What are you doing?" she shrieked thinking the worst and thankful that she may have just prevented her friend from committing suicide. "I'm blowing into the tailpipe real hard to pop all these dents out of my car," explained the first blonde. "Well silly, it's not going to work," replied her neighbor.

Exasperated, she calls the front desk and asks for the manager who says he'll be right up. The manager is skeptical but the wife insists the story is true.

A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called, and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found: The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel chain and collar. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring. Which demonstrates that some problems can be fixed by pissing and moaning.

Five-year-old Jessica groaned, "But, Mommy, you know I don't like eggs." Kara then reminded Jessica of all the food the little girl liked that contained eggs.

The next morning, when Jessica walked into the kitchen, Kara said, "Since you are here first, you can decide for the family. How do you want me to cook the eggs?"

Jessica answered, "In chocolate cake, please."

By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace. The article read: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started." So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished. Before leaving the house this morning I finished off bottle of red wine, a bottle of white, the Bailey's, Kahlua and Wild Turkey, the Prozac, some valium, some cheesecake and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freakin' good I feel.

There was an old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!" Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen". This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest arrived. He visited the mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. The priest said, "You have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen." The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had told the new priest about the code word. Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your wife fell three times this week."

"No thanks, I imagine you want to close up. Why don't you send that other fellow home?"

"Well, I should, but each time I wake him up he asks for the bill and pays it again."

My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken
is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he
said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said
they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken,
pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's
office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then
he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite

chicken.

She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and

Notes left in milk bottles - remember the good old days?

Dear milkman...

I've just had a baby, please leave another one.

Please leave an extra pint of paralysed milk.

Cancel one pint after the day after today.

Please don't leave any more milk. All they do is drink it.

Milkman, please close the gate behind you because the birds
keep pecking the tops off the milk.

Please cancel milk. I have nothing coming into the house but
two sons on the dole.

Sorry not to have paid your bill before, but my wife had a baby
and I've been carrying it around in my pocket for weeks.

Sorry about yesterday's note. I didn't mean one egg and a
dozen pints, but the other way round.

When you leave my milk please knock on my bedroom window
and wake me because I want you to give me a hand to turn
the mattress.

Please knock. My TV's broken down and I missed last night's
Coronation Street. If you saw it, will you tell me what happened
over a cup of tea?

My daughter says she wants a milkshake. Do you do it before
you deliver or do I have to shake the bottle?

Please send me a form for cheap milk, for I have a baby two
months old and did not know about it until a neighbour told me.

Please send me details about cheap milk as I am stagnant.

Milk is needed for the baby. Father is unable to supply it.

From now on please leave two pints every other day and one
pint on the days in between, except Wednesdays and Saturdays
when I don't want any milk.

My back door is open. Please put milk in 'fridge, get money
out of cup in drawer and leave change on kitchen table in pence,
because we want to play bingo tonight.

Please leave no milk today. When I say today, I mean tomorrow,
for I wrote this note yesterday.

No milk. Please do not leave milk at No. 14 either as he is
dead until further notice.

When you leave the milk please put the coal on the boiler, let
dog out and put newspaper inside the screen door. P.S. Don't
leave any milk.

Ten Rules For Eating Your Valentine Chocolates

1. Put 'eat chocolate' at the top of your list of things to do on
Valentine's day. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

2. If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're
eating it too slowly.

3. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and
strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

4. The problem: How to get two pounds of Valentine chocolate
home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the
parking lot.

5. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the
edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.

6. If you can't eat all your Valentine chocolate, it will keep in
the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong
with you?

7. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate,
is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each
other?

8. Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.

9. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you
look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.

10. A nice box of Valentine chocolates can provide your total
daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

Dear Secretary of Agriculture,

My friends, Darryl and Janice, over at Jonestown, Oklahoma,
received a check the other day for $1,000 from the government
for not raising hogs. So, I want to go into the "not raising hogs"
business myself next year. What I want to know is, in your
opinion, what is the best type of farm not to raise hogs on,
and what is the best breed of hogs not to raise? I want to be
sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all
government policies. I would prefer not to raise Razor hogs,
but if that is not a good breed not to raise, then I can just as
easily not raise Yorkshires or Durocs.

As I see it, the hardest part of this program will be keeping
an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven't raised. If I
can get $1,000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2,000 for
not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at
first, holding myself down to about 4,000 "not raised" hogs,
which will give me $80,000 income the first year.

Now another thing: these hogs I will not raise will not eat
100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that you also pay
farmers for not raising corn and wheat. Will I qualify for
payments for not raising wheat and corn not to feed the
4,000 hogs I am not going to raise? I want to get started not
feeding as soon as possible, as this seems to be a good
time of the year to not raise hogs and grain. I am also
considering the "not milking cows" business, so please send
me any information on that also.

In view of these circumstances, I understand that the
government will consider me totally unemployed, so I plan to
file for unemployment and food stamps as well. Be assured
that you will have my vote in the coming elections.

Patriotically yours,

Duster Benton

During a Sunday-morning worship service, a mother tried everything she could think of˜including rewards, scoldings, and threats˜to get her fidgety 7-year-old to be quiet. Nothing worked. Finally, about halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered something in the little boy's ear. He immediately stopped fidgeting and sat quietly for the rest of the service. Afterward a friend sitting in the row behind asked the young mother what she had said to her son. The mother smiled slyly and replied, "If you don't be quiet, the preacher is going to lose his place, and then he'll have to start his sermon all over again."

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes,
crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers
come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down
for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by
candlelight, put on some soft background music and feasted
on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of spring water.

When she finished, she went into each and every room and
deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into
the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen
and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend,
all was bliss for the first few days.

Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything
from cleaning, mopping and airing the place out. Vents were
checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned.
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were
brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to
move out for a few days and in the end, they even paid to
replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to
work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take
the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half,
they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got
out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return
their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money
from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called
the man and asked how things were going.

He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely
and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be
willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting
the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he
agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house
had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that
very day. She agreed and within the hour, his lawyers delivered
the paperwork.

A week later, the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they
watched the moving company pack everything to take to their
new home. And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain
rods with them.

If you're worried about cell phone microwaves, stick a piece of popcorn in your ear. When it pops, it's time to hang up.

Because of an ear infection, a young boy, Casey, had to go to the pediatrician. The mother was impressed with the way the doctor directed his comments and questions to the boy. When he
asked Casey, "Is there anything you are allergic to?" Casey nodded and whispered in his ear.

Smiling, the pediatrician wrote out a prescription and handed it to the mom. Without looking at it, she tucked it into her purse. Later, the pharmacist filled the order, remarking on the unusual food-
drug interaction the boy must have. When he saw the mother's puzzled expression, he showed her the label on the bottle.

As per the doctor's instructions, it read: "Do not take with broccoli."

JEST FOR FUN

Three mischievous boys skipped school one day and instead went to the zoo one day for an outing. They decided to visit the elephant cage first, but soon enough, they were picked up by a zoo security officer for causing a commotion. The officer hauled them off to the Security Office for questioning.

The supervisor in charge asked each of them to give their names and tell what they were doing at the elephant cage.

The first boy innocently said, "Okay, my name is Gary, and I was just throwing peanuts into the elephant cage."

The second added, "My name is Larry, and all I was doing was throwing peanuts into the elephant cage."

The third boy was a little more shaken up than his buddies and said, "Well, my name is Peter, but my friends call me Peanuts."

A handful of seven-year-old children were asked what they thought of beer. Here are some interesting responses.

I think beer must be good. My dad says the more beer he drinks the prettier my mom gets.

Beer makes my dad sleepy and we get to watch what we want on television when he is asleep, so beer is nice.

My Mom and Dad talk funny when they drink beer and the more they drink the more they give kisses to each other, which is a good thing.

My Dad loves beer. The more he drinks, the better he dances. One time he danced right into the pool.

I don't like beer very much. Every time Dad drinks it, he burns the sausages on the barbecue and they taste disgusting.

JEST FOR FUN

My friend's husband is always telling her that housekeeping would be a snap if only she would organize her time better.

Recently, he had a chance to put his theory into practice while his wife was away. When I popped in one evening to see how he was managing, he crowed, "I made a cake, frosted it, washed the kitchen windows, cleaned all the cupboards, scrubbed the kitchen floor, walls and ceiling and even had a bath."

I was about to concede that perhaps he was a better manager than his wife, when he added sheepishly, "When I was making the chocolate frosting, I forgot to turn off the mixer before taking
the beaters out of the bowl, so I had to do all the rest."

A man's wife has an artificial leg. Shortly before Christmas, he buys her a new prosthetic and hides it in the closet. Unfortunately, she finds it and confronts him with the artificial limb. "This wouldn't, by any chance, be my Christmas present, would it?" she asks. "No, of course not" responds her husband. "It's just a stocking stuffer."

A flight attendant on a United Air Lines cross-country flight nervously announced: about 30 minutes outbound from LA, "I don't know how this happened, but we have 103 passengers
aboard and only 40 dinners." When the passengers' muttering had died down, she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up his meal so someone else can eat will receive free drinks for the length of the flight."

Her next announcement came an hour later. "If anyone wants to change his mind, we still have 29 dinners available.
