You have two choices in life: You can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead.

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?" "Yes, I am. I married the wrong man."

A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds: "Husband Wanted". Next day she received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."

When a woman steals your husband, there is no better revenge than to let her keep him.

A woman is incomplete until she is married. Then she is finished .

A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?" Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."

A young son asked, "Is it true Dad, that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?" Dad replied, "That happens in every country, son."
Then there was a woman who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married, and by then, it was too late."

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say -- talk in your sleep.

Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life
Thinking they had no faults at all.

First guy says, "My wife's an angel!" Second guy remarks, "You're lucky, mine's still alive."

"A Woman's Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray for: Wisdom, To understand a man , to Love and to forgive him , and for patience, For his moods. Because Lord, if I pray for Strength I'll just beat him to death"

AND NOW FOR THE FAVORITE!!!
Husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus. So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy." The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the bus, so shut the hell up."

An elderly woman goes to the doctor and asks his help to revive her husband's sex drive.
"What about trying Viagra?" asks the doctor.

"Not a chance," says Mrs.. Murphy. "He won't even take an aspirin for a headache."

"No problem," replies the doctor. "Drop it into his coffee, he won't even taste it. Try it and come back in a week to let me know how you got on."

A week later Mrs.. Murphy returns to the doctor and he inquires as to how things went.

"Oh it was terrible, just terrible doctor."

"What happened?" asks the doctor.

"Well I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee. The effect was immediate. He jumped straight up, swept the cutlery off the table, at the same time ripping my clothes off and then proceeded to make passionate love to me on the tabletop. It was terrible."

" was terrible?" said the doctor, "was the sex not good?"

"Oh no doctor, the sex was the best I've had in 25 years, but I'll never be able to show my face in McDonald's again."

            A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday

            She spends $15,000 and feels pretty good about the results.

            On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper.

            Before leaving, she says to the clerk, 'I hope you don't mind
            My asking, but how old do you think I am?'

            'About 32,' is the reply.

            'Nope! I'm exactly 50,' the woman says happily.

            A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the
            Counter girl the very same question.

            The girl replies, 'I'd guess about 29.'

            The woman replies with a big smile, 'Nope, I'm 50.'

            Now she's feeling really good about herself. She stops in a
            Drug store on her way down the street. She goes up to the
            Counter to get some mints and asks the clerk this burning
            Question.

            The clerk responds, 'Oh, I'd say 30.'

            Again she proudly responds, 'I'm 50, but thank you!'
            To go home, she asks an old man While waiting for the bus 
            Waiting next to her the same question.

            He replies, 'I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I
            Was young, there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman
            Was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put
            My hands under your bra. Then, and only then can I tell you
            EXACTLY how old you are.'

            They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity
            Gets the best of her. She finally blurts out, 'What the hell,
            Go ahead.'

            He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel
            Around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each
            Breast and he gently pinches each @#!$. He pushes her breasts
            Together and rubs them against each other.

            After a couple of minutes of this, she says, 'Okay, okay...How
            Old am I?'

            He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his
            Hands, and says, 'Madam, you are 50.'

            Stunned and amazed, the woman says, 'That was incredible, how
            Could you tell?'

            The old man says, 'Promise you won't get mad?'

            'I promise I won't,' she says.

            'I was behind you in McDonald's.'

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this!

Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?

Here's what happened to Bubba:

Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had.

Bubba said: 'Shingles.'

So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and
asked Bubba what he had.


Bubba said, 'Shingles.'

So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical histor y and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.


A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had.

Bubba said, 'Shingles.'

So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had.

Bubba said, 'Shingles.'

The doctor asked, 'Where?'


Bubba said, 'Outside on the truck.

Where do you want me to unload 'em??'

THE  UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL


Take  out a one dollar
bill, and look at it. The one dollar bill

you're looking  at
first came off the presses in 1957 in its

present
design.

 
This  so-called paper
money is in fact a cotton and linen blend,

with red and  blue
minute silk fibers running through it. It is

actually material.
We've  all washed it without it falling apart.

 
A special blend of ink
is used,  the contents we will never know.

 
It is overprinted with
symbols and then  it is starched to make it

water resistant and
pressed to give it that nice  crisp look.

 
If you look on the
front of the bill, you will see the  United

States Treasury
Seal.

 
On the  top you will
see the scales for a balanced budget.

In the center you  have
a carpenter's square, a tool used for an

even
cut.

 
Underneath is  the Key
to the United States Treasury.

That's all pretty easy
to figure  out, but what is on the back of

that dollar bill is
something we should all know.

 
If you turn the bill
over, you will see two  circles.

Both circles, together,
comprise the

Great Seal of
the  United States.

 
The  First Continental
Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin

and a group of  men
come up with a Seal. It took them four years

to accomplish this
task  and another two years to get it approved.

 
If you look at
the  left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.

Notice  the face is
lighted, and the western side is dark. This

country was
just  beginning. We had not begun to explore the West

or decided what we
could  do for Western Civilization.

 
The Pyramid is
uncapped, again signifying  that we were not even

close to being
finished. Inside the capstone you  have the all-

seeing eye, an ancient
symbol for divinity.

 
It was  Franklin's
belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a

group of men,  with the
help of God, could do anything.

"IN GOD WE TRUST" is
on  this currency.

 
The  Latin above the
pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, "God has

favored
our  undertaking. "

 
The Latin below the
pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM,  means, "a new

order has
begun."

 
At the base of the
pyramid is the Roman  Numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)

If you look at the
right-hand circle,  and check it carefully,

you  will learn that it
is on every National Cemetery in the

United  States.
 
It is also on the
Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell,  Florida

National Cemetery, and
is the centerpiece of most hero's  monuments.

 
Slightly modified, it
is the seal of the President of the  United

States, and it is
always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few

people know what the
symbols mean.

 
The Bald Eagle was
selected as a  symbol for victory for two reasons:

First, he is not afraid
of a  storm; he is strong, and he is smart

enough to soar above
it.

 
Secondly,  he wears no
material crown. We had just broken from the

King
of  England.

 
Also, notice the shield
is unsupported. This country can now  stand

on its
own.

 
At the top of that
shield you have a white bar  signifying

congress, a unifying
factor.

 
We were coming together
as one  nation.

 
In the Eagle's beak you
will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning,

"one nation from many
people".

 
Above the Eagle, you
have thirteen  stars, representing the

thirteen original
colonies, and any clouds of  misunderstanding

rolling away. Again, we
were coming together as  one.

 
Notice what the Eagle
holds in his talons.

 
He holds an  olive
branch and arrows.

 
This country wants
peace, but we will never be  afraid to fight to

preserve
peace.

 
The Eagle always wants
to face the  olive branch, but in time of

war, his gaze turns
toward the arrows.

 
They say that the
number 13 is an unlucky number.

 
This is  almost a
worldwide belief.

 
You will usually never
see a room numbered  13, or any hotels or

motels with a 13th
floor

 
But think
about  this:

 
13 original
colonies,

 
13 signers of the
Declaration of  Independence,

 
13 stripes on our
flag,

 
13 steps on the
Pyramid,

 
13  letters in the
Latin above,

 
13 letters in "E
Pluribus Unum",

 
13  stars above the
Eagle,

 
13 bars on that
shield,

 
13 leaves on the  olive
branch,

 
13 fruits, and if you
look closely, 13 arrows.

 
And,  for minorities:
the 13th Amendment.

 
I always ask people,
"Why don't  you know this?" Your children

don't know this, and
their history teachers  don't know this.

 
Too many veterans have
given up too much to ever let  the meaning

fade.
 
Many veterans remember
coming home to an America that  didn't care.

 
Too many veterans never
came home at all.

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her Husband stalking around with a fly swatter

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Hunting Flies" He responded.

"Oh. ! Killing any?" She asked.

"Yep, 3 males, 2 Females," he replied.

Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell them apart?"

He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone. "

These 16 Police Comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country:
16 "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."

15 "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while."

14 "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

13 "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."

11 "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?"

10 "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't  think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"

9 "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that  again or I'll give you another ticket."

8 "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are  drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

7 "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop."

6 "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a  toaster oven."

5 "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC."

4 "How big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"

3 "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."

2 "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."





AND THE WINNER IS....

1. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets?  You're right, we don't. Sign here."

MY NEXT LIFE

I want to live my next life backwards:

You start out dead and get that out of the way.

Then you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day.

Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.

Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.

Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years until you're too young to work.

You get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and you're
generally promiscuous.

Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and
you have no responsibilities.

Then you become a baby, and after that.....

You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in
spa-like conditions -- central heating, room service on tap, and
then.....

You finish off as an orgasm.

I rest my case.

This explains why I forward jokes.

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

 

   He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

 

 After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

 

 

When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.  

 

When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"  

 

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.  

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."

The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.  

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."  

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. 

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.  

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.  

"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in." 

"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog. 

"There should be a bowl by the pump." 

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. 

The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. 

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. 

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.  

"This is Heaven," he answered. 

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too." 

"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."  

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?" 

"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."

 

 

Soooo  

Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word.

Maybe this will explain.  

When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes. 

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes. 

When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes. 

Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?  

A forwarded joke. 

So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.

 

 

You are all welcome @ my water bowl anytime

Billy Bob's
pregnant sister had a car accident and went into a deep coma that lasted six
months.

 
She finally wakes
up and sees that she is no longer pregnant.

 
Frantically, she
asks the doctor about her baby.

 
The doctor
replies "Ma'am, you had twins! A boy and A
girl.

 
The babies are fine.
Your brother came in and named them."

 
The woman thinks
to herself, 'Oh no, not my brother...he's an
idiot.'

 
Expecting the
worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's
name?"

 
"Denise," says the
doctor.

 
The new mother says,
"Wow, that's a beautiful name!

 
I guess I was wrong
about my brother. I like Denise."

 
Then she asks the
doctor, "What's the boy's name?"

 
"Denephew"

TREES

It is hard to find a joke without a dirty word or two in it. Here is one:

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods.

A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch,

"Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The birch says he cannot tell.

Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.

The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert.

Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree.

He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch.

It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover he can't believe. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose!

Jack sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Jack looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror, and notices a note on the table: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping -- Love you!"

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.

Jack asks, "Son...what happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."

"So, why is everything in such perfect order & so clean. I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh THAT!... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'm married!"

Broken furniture - $85.26
Hot Breakfast - $4.20
Red Rose bud -$3.00
Two Aspirins -$.38

Saying the right thing, at the right time...
Priceless!

While walking down the street one day in Washington
DC, a US senator is tragically killed by gang
violence. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St.
Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to Heaven," says St.
Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a
problem. We seldom see a high official around these
parts, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the senator.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up.
What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and
one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend
eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in
heaven," says the senator.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St.
Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds
himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the
distance is a clubhouse and standing in front friends
and other politicians, everyone is very happy and in
evening dress. They run to greet, shake hands, and
reminisce about the good times they had while getting
rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on
lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the
devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a
good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having
such a good time that before long it is time to go.

Everyone waves a hearty farewell and waves while the
elevator rises... The elevator goes up, up, up and the
door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting.

"Now it's time to visit heaven." So, 24 hours pass
with the senator joining a group of contented souls
moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and
singing. They have a good time and, before long, the
24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in
heaven. Now choose your eternity." The senator
reflects for a minute, then answers: "Well, I would
never have said it before, I mean heaven has been
delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts the senator to the elevator and
it goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the
elevator opens in the middle of a barren land covered
with waste and garbage. All his friends, dressed in
rags, are picking up the trash and putting it in black
bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes
over and puts his arm around the senator..

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday
I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse,
and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and
danced and had a great time. Now there's just a
wasteland full of garbage and my friends look
miserable. What happened?"

The devil smiles and says,

Yesterday we were campaigning ...... Today you voted."

I am Texan born and raised, and lived in Dallas since 1951. I served in the Army from 63 to 67 with no injuries, I think. They gave me the chance to see Europe, which changed the rest of my life. I think everyone should spend sometime in Europe. I was in Augsburg, Germany. There is a church that is 1200 years old. I guess I could add 40 years to that. I would really like to go back for a while, to see if anything has changed. Let’s see things I like to do, I am a Numismatic. I am taking medicine for it, I hope to get better soon. The Boogles.
