One of my Favorite Bands
Even though he only had one hit?
Ouch!
Be careful what you wear (or don't wear) when working under your vehicle
...especially in public.
From the Southwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a Sarasota couple
who drove to Wal-Mart only to have their car break down in the lot. The man
sent his wife in to do their shopping and he stayed to make repairs. The wife
returned later to see a small group of people near their car. As she
approached, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis.
Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underwear made his private parts
glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped
forward, quickly slipped her hand up his shorts and tucked everything safely
back out of view.
On regaining her balance and standing upright she looked across the hood and
found herself staring directly at her husband, who was standing idly by.
The mechanic however, had to have 3 stitches in his head.
TODAYS STOCK MARKET REPORT
Helium was up, feathers were down. Paper was stationary. Fluorescent
tubing was dimmed in light trading. Knives were up sharply. Cows steered
into a bull market. Pencils lost a few points. Hiking equipment was trailing.
Elevators rose, while escalators continued their slow decline. Weights
were up in heavy trading. Light switches were off. Mining equipment hit rock
bottom. Diapers remained unchanged. Shipping lines stayed at an even keel.
The market for raisins dried up. Coca Cola fizzled. Caterpillar stock inched
up a bit. Sun peaked at midday. Balloon prices were inflated. Scott Tissue
touched a new bottom. And batteries exploded in an attempt to recharge the market.
The Prayer
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to
their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the
blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just
say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite
all these people to dinner?"
BEAUTIFUL
An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled
with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children
were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist
who was painting them with tiger paws.
"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in
the line said to the little fella
Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head.
His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When
I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, while tracing
her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful!"
The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother.
"Why just name me one thing that's more beautiful than freckles."
The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his
grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles.
Strawberry Fertilizer
A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer.
A little boy, playing in front of his house, saw him and called,
"What've you got in your truck?"
"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked the little boy.
"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.
"You ought to live here," the little boy advised him.
"We put sugar and cream on ours."
Smart old Farmer
An old farmer had owned a large farm for several years.
He had a large pond in the back forty, had it fixed up nice;
picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc. The
pond was fixed for swimming when it was built.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond,
as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. As
he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing
with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a gloriously
attractive bunch of young wimmen skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to
the deep end of the pond. One of the wimmen shouted to him,
"We're not coming out until you leave!"
The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you
ladies swim nekkid or make you get out of the pond.
I only came to feed my alligators."
I Feel Better Already!
A new Census Bureau report says the number of Americans
without health insurance rose 1.7 million last year to an
estimated 43.4 million people. Officials have established
an emergency 800-number which these people can call and
hear a recording say "Your claim is denied" until they can
get health insurance of their own which does this.
Moose Hunters
Two hunters went moose hunting every winter
without success. Finally, they came up with a
foolproof plan. They got a very authentic female
moose costume and learned the mating call of a
female moose.
The plan was to hide in the costume, lure the bull,
then come out of the costume and shoot the bull. They
set themselves up on the edge of a clearing, donned
their costume and began to give the moose love call.
Before long, their call was answered as a bull came
crashing out of the forest and into the clearing.
When the bull was close enough, the guy in front said,
"Okay, lets get out and get him."
After a moment that seemed like an eternity, the guy
in the back shouted, "The zipper is stuck! What are
we going to do!?"
The guy in the front says, "Well, I'm going to start
nibbling grass, but you'd better brace yourself."
Twins
Already the Mother of two rambunctious boys, the husband
was thrilled when the doctor announced they were going to
have twins this time. He told his wife that she should start
thinking of names.
"Well, let's see." she said. "We already have Adolph and
Rudolph. How about Getoff and Stayoff ?"
Kids
A pregnant mother and her young son were in the checkout lane at the store.
and the cashier asked the boy what the name of the new baby would be.
The youngster looked at her and said, "If it's a girl we're going to name
her Abigale."
Then he looked at the cashier and said, "But I have four brothers
and Mom says if it's another boy we're going to call it Quits."

He stopped in front of the holy water, put some on both legs,
and then threw away his crutches.

bear hug and started yanking up.

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars?
What about those long and boring conference calls?
Here's a way to change all of that:
1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call,
prepare yourself by drawing a square -- 5"x5" is a good size.
2. Divide the card into columns -- five across and five down. That will
give you 25 one-inch square blocks.
3. Write one of the following words/phrases in each square block:
- synergy / dynamic
- strategic fit
- core competencies
- best practice
- bottom line
- revisit
- take that off-line
- 24/7
- out of the loop
- benchmark
- value-added
- proactive
- win-win
- think outside the box
- fast track
- result-driven
- empower(ment)
- knowledge base
- ramp up
- touch base
- mind set
- client focus(ed)
- ballpark
- game plan
- leverage
4. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those
words/phrases.
5. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,
stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
