A city man was tooling down a country road when
his car sputtered to a complete stop near a field filled with
cows. The driver, getting out to see what was the matter, noticed
one of the cows looking at him.
"I believe it's your radiator," said the cow.
The man nearly jumped right out of his city slicker britches!
He ran to the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door.
"A cow just gave me advice about my car!" he shouted,
waving his arms franticly back toward the field.
The farmer nonchalantly leaned out beyond the doorframe to glance
down the field. "The cow with two big black spots on it?"
the farmer asked slowly.
"Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man replied.
"Oh. Well, that's Ethel," the farmer said, turning
back to the man. "Don't pay any attention to her. She doesn't
know a darn thing about cars."
Ever wonder about those people who say they are
giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where
someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here's a little
math that might prove helpful. What makes life 100%? Let's use
mathematics and logic to figure it out!
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented
as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26
Then, H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%
K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%
But,
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
And,
B U L L S H I T
1 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%
So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get
you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put
you over the top.
So, the next time someone claims to be giving OVER 100%, you know
what they are really doing.......
"Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words
went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's a blank; it won' t accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything
I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV."
"Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where
the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's
plugged into the wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there
were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and
find the other cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into
the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way
over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle -it's
because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have
is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power failure."
"A power............a power failure?.... Aha, Okay, we've
got it licked now."
"Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff
your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up
just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store
you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too f_ _ _ _ _ _ stupid to own a computer."

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the
other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed
him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about
gun laws you got to love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback
lines of all time. It is a portion of a National Public Radio
(NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps
General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting
his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things
are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing,
archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't
it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised
on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper
rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent
killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but
you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
It’s nice to see not everyone takes online
sex chats too seriously:
Wellhung: Hello, Sweetheart. What do you look like?
Sweetheart: I am wearing a red silk blouse, a miniskirt and high
heels. I work out every day, I'm toned and perfect. My measurements
are 36-24-36. What do you look like?
Wellhung: I'm 6'3" and about 250 pounds.I wear glasses and
I have on a pair of blue sweat pants I just bought from Wal Mart.
I'm also wearing a T-shirt with a few spots of barbecue sauce
on it from dinner... it
smells funny.
Sweetheart: I want you. Would you like to screw me?
Wellhung: OK
Sweetheart: We're in my bedroom. There's soft music playing on
the stereo and candles on my dresser and night table. I'm looking
up into your eyes, smiling. My hand works its way down to your
crotch and begins
to fondle your huge, swelling bulge.
Wellhung: I'm gulping, I'm beginning to sweat.
Sweetheart: I'm pulling up your shirt and kissing your chest.
Wellhung: Now I'm unbuttoning your blouse. My hands are trembling.
Sweetheart: I'm moaning softly.
Wellhung: I'm taking hold of your blouse and sliding it off slowly.
Sweetheart: I'm throwing my head back in pleasure. The cool silk
slides off my warm skin. I'm rubbing your bulge faster, pulling
and rubbing.
Wellhung: My hand suddenly jerks spastically and accidentally
rips a hole in your blouse. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart: That's OK, it wasn't really too expensive.
Wellhung: I'll pay for it.
Sweetheart: Don't worry about it. I'm wearing a lacy black bra.
My soft breasts are rising and falling, as I breath harder and
harder.
Wellhung: I'm fumbling with the clasp on your bra. I think it's
stuck. Do you have any scissors?
Sweetheart: I take your hand and kiss it softly. I'm reaching
back undoing the clasp. The bra slides off my body. The air caresses
my breasts. My nipples are erect for you.
Wellhung: How did you do that? I'm picking up the bra and inspecting
the clasp.
Sweetheart: I'm arching my back. Oh baby. I just want to feel
your tongue all over me.
Wellhung: I'm dropping the bra. Now I'm licking your, you know,
breasts. They're neat!
Sweetheart: I'm running my fingers through your hair. Now I'm
nibbling your ear.
Wellhung: I suddenly sneeze. Your breasts are covered with spit
and phlegm.
Sweetheart: What?
Wellhung: I'm so sorry. Really.
Sweetheart: I'm wiping your phlegm off my breasts with the remains
of my blouse.
Wellhung: I'm taking the sopping wet blouse from you. I drop it
with a plop.
Sweetheart: OK. I'm pulling your sweat pants down and rubbing
your hard tool.
Wellhung: I'm screaming like a woman. Your hands are cold! Yeeee!
Sweetheart: I'm pulling up my miniskirt. Take off my panties.
Wellhung: I'm pulling off your panties. My tongue is going all
over, in and out nibbling on you... umm... wait a minute.
Sweetheart: What's the matter?
Wellhung: I've got a pubic hair caught in my throat. I'm choking.
Sweetheart: Are you OK?
Wellhung: I'm having a coughing fit. I'm turning all red.
Sweetheart: Can I help?
Wellhung: I'm running to the kitchen, choking wildly. I'm fumbling
through the cabinets, looking for a cup. Where do you keep your
cups?
Sweetheart: In the cabinet to the right of the sink.
Wellhung: I'm drinking a cup of water. There, that's better.
Sweetheart: Come back to me, lover.
Wellhung: I'm washing the cup now.
Sweetheart: I'm on the bed arching for you.
Wellhung: I'm drying the cup. Now I'm putting it back in the cabinet.
And now I'm walking back to the bedroom. Wait, it's dark, I'm
lost. Where's the bedroom?
Sweetheart: Last door on the left at the end of the hall.
Wellhung: I found it.
Sweetheart: I'm tuggin' off your pants. I'm moaning. I want you
so badly.
Wellhung: Me too.
Sweetheart: Your pants are off. I kiss you passionately - our
naked bodies pressing each other.
Wellhung: Your face is pushing my glasses into my face. It hurts.
Sweetheart: Why don't you take off your glasses?
Wellhung: OK, but I can't see very well without them. I place
the glasses on the night table.
Sweetheart: I'm bending over the bed. Give it to me, baby!
Wellhung: I have to pee. I'm fumbling my way blindly across the
room and toward the bathroom.
Sweetheart: Hurry back, lover.
Wellhung: I find the bathroom and it's dark. I'm feeling around
for the toilet. I lift the lid.
Sweetheart: I'm waiting eagerly for your return.
Wellhung: I'm done going. I'm feeling around for the flush handle,
but I can't find it. Uh-oh!
Sweetheart: What's the matter now?
Wellhung: I've realized that I've peed into your laundry hamper.
Sorry again. I'm walking back to the bedroom now, blindly feeling
my way.
Sweetheart: Mmm, yes. Come on.
Wellhung: OK, now I'm going to put my... you know... thing...
in your... you know... woman's thing.
Sweetheart: Yes! Do it, baby! Do it!
Wellhung: I'm touching your smooth butt. It feels so nice. I kiss
your neck. Umm, I'm having a little trouble here.
Sweetheart: I'm moving my ass back and forth, moaning. I can't
stand it another second! Slide in! Screw me now!
Wellhung: I'm flaccid.
Sweetheart: What?
Wellhung: I'm limp. I can't sustain an erection.
Sweetheart: I'm standing up and turning around; an incredulous
look on my face.
Wellhung: I'm shrugging with a sad look on my face, my weiner
all floppy. I'm going to get my glasses and see what's wrong.
Sweetheart: No, never mind. I'm getting dressed. I'm putting on
my underwear. Now I'm putting on my wet nasty blouse.
Wellhung: No wait! Now I'm squinting, trying to find the night
table. I'm feeling along the dresser, knocking over cans of hair
spray, picture frames and your candles.
Sweetheart: I'm buttoning my blouse. Now I'm putting on my shoes.
Wellhung: I've found my glasses. I'm putting them on. My God!
One of your candles fell on the curtain. The curtain is on fire!
I'm pointing at it, a shocked look on my face.
Sweetheart: Go to hell. I'm logging off, you loser!
Wellhung: Now the carpet is on fire! Oh noooo!

Having a Bad Day?
The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after
the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special
ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being
released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.
A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.
A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically,
almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from
his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away
from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of
wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had
been happily listening to his Walkman.
Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of
sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all
two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence,
stampeding madly. The two hopeless protesters were trampled to
death.
Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter
bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on
it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to
bits.
There now, feeling better?
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at
the pearly gates. "In honor of the season" Saint Peter
said, you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas
to get into heaven on this holy day.
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled
out a lighter and flicked it on. It represents a holy candle,
he said. You may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled
out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells"
Saint Peter said you may pass through the pearly gates.
The third man started searching desperately through
his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
What do these symbolize? Saint Peter asked.
The man replied, "They're Carols"
A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife.
She was a very good-looking woman, and determined to keep the
ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to
place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.
Two men applied for the job. One was gay and the
other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no
one else applied, she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it
would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours
every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of
them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.
Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired
hand, "You have done a really good job and the ranch looks
great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The
hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.
However, one o'clock came and he didn't return.
Two o'clock and no hired hand. He returned around two-thirty and
found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace. She quietly
called him over to her.
"Unbutton my blouse and take it off,"
she said.
Trembling, he did as she directed.
"Now take off my boots." He did so, slowly.
"Now take off my socks." He did.
"Now take off my skirt." He did.
"Now take off my bra." Again with trembling
hands he did as he was told.
"Now," she said, "take off my panties."
He slowly pulled them down and off.
Then she looked at him and said, "Don't you
ever wear my clothes to town again!"
Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you
could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for
a half-dozen nuggets. “We don't have half dozen nuggets,"
said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied.
"We only have six, nine or twelve," was the reply. "So
I can't order a half-dozen nuggets, but I can order six?"
"That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
The paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what happened
a couple of months ago. I was checking out at the local Foodland
with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on
the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "Dividers"
that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our
things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned
all of my items, she picked up the "Divider" looking
it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding
the bar code she said to me "Do you know how much this is?"
and I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll
buy that today." She
said "OK" and I paid her for the things and left. She
had no clue to what had just happened.....
A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy
drive and pulling it out very quickly. When inquired as to what
she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they
kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM
"thingy".
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew
I should have replaced the battery to this remote door un-locker.
Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a
distant convenient store) would have a battery to fit this?"
"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked.
"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing
it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked
the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and
check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One
day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm
almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use
copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that,
the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it
on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank"
copies.
I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home
was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire
need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra
in Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told
me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and
then went in the back to make a sandwich.
Sign in a gas station: Coke -- 49 cents. Two for a dollar.
My neighbor works in the operations department in the central
office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they
have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from
a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've
got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have
a fire downtown?"
I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented
that the next day would be the shortest day of the year. My lab
partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I explained
to her that the mount of daylight changes, not the actual amount
of time. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.
Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing
a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a
photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed
in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they
thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie
detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
"Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."
I was at home the other night in the middle of my dinner when
the phone rang…
ME: Hello.
AT&T: Hello, this is AT&T...
ME: Is this AT&T?
AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T...
ME: This is AT&T?
AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T...
ME: Is this AT&T?
AT&T: Yes! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mrs. Marino, please?
ME: May I ask who is calling?
AT&T: This is AT&T.
ME: Ok, hold on. (At this point I put the phone down for a solid
5 minutes thinking that, surely, this person would have hung up
the phone. I ate my salad. Much to my surprise, when I picked
up the receiver, they were still waiting.)
ME: Hello?
AT&T: Is this Mrs. Marino?
ME: May I ask who is calling, please?
AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T...
ME: This is AT&T?
AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T...
ME: The phone company?
AT&T: Yes, ma'am.
ME: I thought you said this was AT&T.
AT&T: Yes, ma'am, we are a phone company.
ME: I already have a phone.
AT&T: We aren't selling phones today, Mrs. Marino. We would
like to offer you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year.
ME: Now, that's 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day?
AT&T: (getting a little excited at this point by my interest)
Yes, ma'am, that's right! 24 hours a day!
ME: 7 days a week?
AT&T: That's right.
ME: 365 days a year?
AT&T: Yes, ma'am.
ME: I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That's amazing!
AT&T: We think so!
ME: That's quite a sum of money!
AT&T: Yes, ma'am, it's amazing how it adds up.
ME: Ok, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one
big one at the end of the year for the full $52,560; and if you
send an annual check, can I get a cash advance?
AT&T: Excuse me?
ME: You know the 10 cents a minute.
AT&T: What are you talking about?
ME: You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1008
per week and $52,560 per year. I'm just interested in knowing
how you will be making payment.
AT&T: Oh, no, ma'am. I didn't mean we'd be paying you. You
pay us 10 cents a minute.
ME: Wait a minute, how do you figure that by saying that you'll
give me 10 cents a minute that I'll give YOU 10 cents a minute?
Is this some kind of subliminal telemarketing scheme? I've read
about things like this in the Enquirer, you know.
AT&T: No, ma'am, we are offering 10 cents a minute for...
ME: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please?
AT&T: Ma'am, I don't think that is necessary.
ME: I insist on speaking to a supervisor!
AT&T: Yes, Mrs. Marino. Please hold. (At this point, I begin
trying to finish my dinner.)
SUPERVISOR: Mrs. Marino?
ME: Yeth?
SUPERVISOR: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10
cents a minute program.
ME: Id thish Ath Teeth &Teeth?
SUPERVISOR: Yes, ma'am, it sure is.
ME: (I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I
could do to suppress my laughter and I had to be careful not to
produce a snort.) No, actually, I was just waiting for someone
to get back to me so that I could sign up for the plan.
SUPERVISOR: Ok, no problem, I'll transfer you back to the person
who was helping you.
ME: Thank you. (I was on hold once again and managed a few more
mouthfuls. I need to end this conversation. Suddenly, there was
an aggravated but polite voice at the other end of the phone.)
AT&T: Hello, Mrs. Marino, I understand that you are interested
in signing up for our plan?
ME: No, but I was wondering - do you have that "Friends and
Family" thing because I'm an only child and I'd really like
to have a little brother...

A blond was shopping at K-Mart and came across a shiny silver
thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and
brought it over to the clerk to ask what it was. The clerk said,
"Why, that's a thermos it keeps hot things hot and cold things
cold." "Wow," said the blond, "that's amazing...
I'm going to buy it! So she bought the thermos and took it to
work the next day. Her boss, who is also blond, saw it on her
desk. "What's that?" he asked. "Why, that's a thermos
... it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied.
"Wow, that's amazing," said the boss, "what do
you have in it?" "Two Popsicles and some coffee."
I made myself a snowman,
As perfect as can be,
I thought I’d keep it as a pet,
And let it sleep with me
I made it some pajamas,
And a pillow for its head
Then last night it ran away
But first it wet the bed
I'm never leaving the house again after reading this one!

When I was a kid adults used to bore me to tears
with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they
were growing up;
What with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning uphill
both ways through year 'round blizzards carrying their younger
siblings on their backs to their one-room schoolhouse where they
maintained a straight-A average despite their full-time, after-school
job at the local textile mill where they worked for 35 cents a
day just to help keep their family from starving to death! I remember
promising myself that when I grew up there was no way in hell
I was going to lay a bunch of garbage like that on kids about
how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But....Now that I've reached the ripe old age of twenty-nine,
I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've
got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in
a Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good
you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet.
When we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library
and look it up ourselves!
And there was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter-with
a pen!-- and then you had to walk all the way across the street
and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get
there!
And there were no MP3s or Napsters! You wanted to steal music,
you had to go to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or
we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the
DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up!
You want to hear about hardship? You couldn't just download porn!
You had to bribe some homeless dude to buy you a copy of "Hustler"
at the 7-11! It was either that or stare at the lingerie section
of the JC Penney catalog! Those were your options!
We didn't have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal! And we
didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang,
you had no idea who it was it could be your boss, your mom, a
collections agent, your drug dealer, you didn't know!!! You just
had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
And we didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation videogames with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like "Space Invaders" and "Asteroids" and
the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little square! You had
to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or
screens; it was just one screen forever! And you could never win,
the game just kept getting harder and faster until you died! Just
like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy sat
in front of you, you were screwed!
And sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only
like 20 channels and there was no onscreen menu! You had to use
a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons
on Saturday morning... ...D'ya hear what I'm saying!?! We had
to wait ALL WEEK, you spoiled kids!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got
it too easy. You're spoiled, I swear to God! You guys wouldn't
last five minutes back in 1984!
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried
piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to
do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed
to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the
donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads
later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished
at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the
donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and
take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step
up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up
over the edge of the well and trotted off! Life is going to shovel
dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the
well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles
is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just
by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step
up!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
The donkey later came back and kicked crap out of
the farmer that tried to bury him.

GET YOU.
All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the
in-flight "safety lecture" and their other announcements
a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have
been heard or reported:
On a Continental Flight with a very "senior"
flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and Gentlemen,
we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin
lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance
of your flight attendants."
On landing the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all
your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make
sure it's something we'd like to have."
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are
only 4 ways out of this airplane."
"Thank you for flying Delta Business Express.
We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed
taking you for a ride."
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at
Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa,
big fella. WHOA!"
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms
in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced,
"Please take care when opening the overhead compartments
because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has
shifted."
From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome
aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seat belt,
insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works
just like every other seat belt and if you don't know how to operate
one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure,
masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the
mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling
with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you
are traveling with more than one small child...pick your favorite."
"Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with
some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we
arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money,
more than Southwest Airlines."
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation;
and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle
to shore and take them with our compliments."
"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks
will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag over your
own mouth and nose before assisting children...or other adults
acting like children."
"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather
all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed
evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children
or spouses."
And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta
airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants
in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"
Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard
landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom
and said, "That was quite a bump, and I know what y'all are
thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault,
it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's
fault...it was the asphalt!"
Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo,
Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final
approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an
extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies
and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats
with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left
of our airplane to the gate!"
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than
perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain
Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight
he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline
had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the
door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks
for flying XYZ airline." He said that, in light of his bad
landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye,
thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone
had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane.
She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why
no, Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little
old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"
After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the
Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please
remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought
the aircraft to screeching halt against the gate. And, once the
tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll
open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to
the terminal."
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement:
"We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And,
the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the
skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of US
Airways."
A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After
it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an
announcement over the intercom: "Ladies and gentlemen, this
is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop
from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore,
we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and
relax - OH, MY GOD!" Silence followed and after a few minutes,
the captain came back on the intercom and said: "Ladies and
Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I
was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and
spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of
my pants!" A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing.
He should see the back of mine!"

No one can explain this as well as Cliff Clavin did on the TV
show Cheers. One day at Cheers, Cliff was explaining the Buffalo
Theory to his buddy Norm, and here's how it went....
"The buffalo herd can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo.
And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones
at the back that are killed first. Thus the general speed and
health of the herd keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members." "In much the same way, the human brain
can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells, and excessive
intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally
it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this
way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells,
making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why
you're always smarter after a few beers."
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual
who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very
often, that individual is crazy.
