All men are not homeless, but some men are home less than others.

A short history of medicine:
I have an earache.
2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.

It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection.
Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed to help him.
When she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her aside, and said, "It's all right honey, I've had a course in first aid."
The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to administer artificial respiration.
At this point she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about calling a doctor,I'm already here."

With the help of a fertility specialist, a 65 year old woman has a baby.
All her relatives come to visit and meet the newest member of their family.
When they ask to see the baby, the 65 year old mother says "not yet."
A little later they ask to see the baby again.
Again the mother says "not yet."
Finally they say, "When can we see the baby?"
And the mother says, "When the baby cries."
And they ask, "Why do we have to wait until the baby cries?"
The new mother says, "because I forgot where I put it."

A man hasn't been feling well, so he goes to his doctor for a complete checkup.
Afterward the doctor comes out with the results.
"I'm afraid I have some very bad news," the doctor says. "You're dying, and you don't have much time left."
"Oh, that's terrible!" says the man. "How long have I got?"
"Ten," the doctor says sadly.
"Ten?" the man asks. "Ten what? Months? Weeks? Days?!"
"Nine...Eight..."

While making his rounds, a doctor points out an x-ray to a group of medical students.
“As you can see,” he says, “the patient limps because his left fibula and tibia are radically arched.”
The doctor turns to one of the students and asks, “What would you do in a case like this?”
“Well,” ponders the student, “I suppose I’d limp, too.”

Laura fell for her handsome new dentist like a ton of bricks and pretty soon had lured him into a series of passionate encounters in the dental clinic after
hours.
But one day he said sadly, "Laura, honey, we have to stop seeing each other. Your husband's bound to get suspicious."
"No way, sweetie, he's dumb as a post," she assured him.
"Besides, we've been seeing each other for six months now, and he doesn't suspect a thing."
"Maybe," said the dentist, "but you're down to one tooth!"

Good morning everyboomie.
Happy Tuesday Morning!!
Well as we get more into the warmer weather, I get more into my usual dread of the coming heat.
It's still been pretty cool here actually. It's the humidity getting to me, and if it's getting to me now....
That's at work of course. If I'm off, I won't be going out to hunt the arrowheads as much. Any temperatures over 85 will be very hard on me, if I'm out very long.
Not only that, but the bugs get bad, and the snakes get bad.
Walking through the woods, I am continually walking my face through spider webs too.
I pulled a tick off my knee after my last trip to the creek.
You know that memory issue I have? I took one of those long Bic lighters. You know the ones you use to light a fireplace or lantern, or something? I was going to teach that tick a lesson for biting me.
About the time the blister started to form on my leg, I remembered why I should pull the tick off first and then burn it.
You know that tick bite doesn't itch at all under a 3rd degree burn.
Have a happy day everyone.
