I COULD CARE LESS!!

PET PEEVES AND JOKES!!

1. Obama cannot be elected! I don't want to hear Osama verses Obama! It's just too  easy to get the two confused, don't cha know!!

2. The guy who invented the remote control ( in the 1950's!) died yesterday at the age of 96. Orignially, the remote emitted a puff of air that was powerful enough to turn the round channel selector...(Probably on a Curtis Mathis!) He also held a patent on touch screen tech. Sorry to see such genius has died, but at least he can be buried between two couch cushions!!

3.I could care less, meaning, I care a lot! My pet peeve is, those who don't care, but say it wrong! What they mean is, they care so little they couldn't care less!!!

OUI?

AT FIRST GLANCE, IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A REALLY GOOD MENU ITEM!!!

Now, I did not make this up, or write it.I received this from someone on line, in an email. It was a simple picture of a KFC, in NY.An actual sign. On the marquee, it said, "Hillary special two fat thighs with small breast, and a left wing."

Actually, it sounded rather delicious, but then I am a sucker for KFC anyway.But then the intent sunk in, and, I can't help it, it struck me funny.Yon son saw it,and got this look on his face. " I don't think that is a bit funny." He intoned. He was right, of course. My reaction was not the Christian response. Now, neither of us has any particular fondness for Hillary, but Yon son's point was, it wasn't kind and it wasn't fair.And, he is right. I was being naughty.Just because every time I think of it, I have to bite my tongue to keep from laughing again, does not mean he isn't correct. It's just, I have this imp of humor, that keeps this giggle coming up in my throat when this thing flashes across my mind.

I just hope I don't gnaw my tongue to pieces, before I get that menu item off my mind!

OUI?

BLONDE JOKE ALERT!!

HE: How can you be so amazingly beautiful, and so incredibly dumb at the same time?

SHE: I guess God made me amazingly beautiful, thank you, so that you would be attracted to me. He also made me so incredibly dumb, so that I would be  attracted to you!

IT IS TO LAUGH! WITTISISMS FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE!!

It's almost my favorite time of the night, 12:34...or 1234. My favorite day, was may, 6, 1978, at 12:34...or 12345678!

How about this? Two brothers were extremely mischievous, and their parents were at their wits end. So, they asked their pastor to talk with the boys. The Pastor sat the youngest one down first. He wanted him to think about God, so he started the conversation by asking " Where is God?" The boy didn't respond, so he repeated the question in a sterner tone. Again, the boy gave no answer. Frustrated, the pastor shook his finger in the boy's face,and shouted, " Where is God?"   The boy bolted from the room, ran home, and hid in his closet. His brother followed him and asked, " What happened?"  The younger boy blurted, " We're in BIG trouble now! God is missing, and they think we did it!"

Before you say anything against your brother, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you'll be a mile away...and you will have his shoes!

The things that come to those who wait are usually the things left behind by those who got there first!

When asked, where did the phrase, "the naked truth" come from? I had to guess, the "Emperors new clothes"...what do you think?

Am I the only one who gets strange messages on my answering machine? For instance, Yon son and I are movie and television show buffs, and one day we tried and tried to think of the charecters name from " Another World" Who would have done Scarlette O'Hara proud, were they to remake the film, or a sequel today. Hours later, I got up from my nap with the message light blinking at me, only to hit the button, and get this, and I quote, in it's entirety..."Hi Mom! I remembered her name...It was  L i l a!...talk to you later, love you bye!" With that smug," I remembered it before you did" lilt in his voice that I can't help but laugh at.hehe! What a guy. He's just so full of fun...he's a delight to be with..or to put it into our favorite phrase...does it not delight the imagination!

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married.The ceremony wasn't much, the reception was excellent!

A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, " I'll serve you, but don't start anything!"

A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says:" Two beers please, one for me, and one for the road."

Two peanuts walk into a bar,and one was a salted.

Two cannibals were eating a comedian,and one says to the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"

OUI?

TWO DEAF LADIES....

...were sitting up front in church one Sunday, watching as the preacher spoke, and the man signing, who had two fingers missing on one hand, stood almost directly in front of them. One lady turned to her friend, and signed, " I just love it when Loren signs the message...he has the cutest little lisp!"

OUI?

BLONDE JOKE ALERT!!!

Q: How can you tell a blonde has been using the computer?

A:by the blonde hair on the keyboard?

Real A:No! By the whiteout on the screen!
