Women claim that what they look for in a man is a sense of humor, but I don’t believe it. Who do you want removing your bra–Tom Cruise or the Three Stooges?

Funny Instructions

Some examples of why the human race has probably evolved as far as possible. These are actual instruction labels on consumer goods...


On Sears hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping.
(Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair!)

On a bag of Fritos:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(The shoplifter special!)

On a bar of Dial soap:
Directions: Use like regular soap.
(and that would be how?)

On some Swann frozen dinners:
Serving suggestion: Defrost.
(But it's 'just' a suggestion!)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box)
Do not turn upside down.
(Too late! you lose!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
Product will be hot after heating.
(Are you sure? Let's experiment.)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
Do not iron clothes on body.
(But wouldn't that save more time?)
(Whose body?)

On Boot's Children's cough medicine:
Do not drive car or operate machinery.
(We could do a lot to reduce the construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)

On Nytol sleep aid:
Warning: may cause drowsiness.
(One would hope!)

On a Korean kitchen knife:
Warning: keep out of children.
(hmm...something must have gotten lost in the translation...)

On a string of Christmas lights:
For indoor or outdoor use only.
(As opposed to use in outer space.)

On a food processor:
Not to be used for the other use.
(Now I'm curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: contains nuts.
(but no peas?)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.
(somebody got paid big bucks to write this one...)

On a Swedish chainsaw:
Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.
(Raise your hand if you've tried this...)

On a child's Superman costume:
Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
(Oh go ahead! That's right, destroy a universal childhood belief.)

An elderly woman went to her local doctor’s office and asked to speak with her doctor. When the receptionist asked why she was there, she replied, “I’d like to have some birth control pills.”

Taken back, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, “Excuse me, Mrs. Glenwood, but you’re 80 years old. What would you possibly need birth control pills for?”

The woman replied, “They help me sleep better.”

The doctor considered this for a second, and continued… “How in the world do birth control pills help you sleep?”

The woman said, “I put them in my granddaughter’s orange juice, and I sleep better at night.”
``````````````````

"Mister, why doesn't this cow have any horns?" asked the young lady from a nearby city. The farmer cocked his head for a moment, then began in a patient tone, "Well, ma'am, cattle can do a powerful lot of damage with horns. Sometimes we keep'em trimmed down with a hacksaw. Other times we can fix up the young 'uns by puttin' a couple drops of acid where their horns would grow in, and that stops 'em cold. Still, there are some breeds of cattle that never grow horns. But the reason this cow don't have no horns, ma'am, is 'cause it's a horse."
````````````

3 guys were riding in a car: a hardware technician, a systems analyst, and a programmer. The systems analyst is driving and when they come to a steep hill he finds that the brakes have failed and the car is accelerating out of control.

So, the driver pumps the emergency brake, downshifts the gears, and rubs the wheels' rims against the curb. He finally wrestles the car to a stop. The three climb out and assess the situation.

Hardware tech: "Let's try and fix it. I'll crawl under the car and take a look. "

Systems analyst: "No. I think we should get someone qualified to fix it, a specialist in brakes."

Programmer: "Why don't we just get back in and see if it happens again?"
`````````````

"What time does the library open?" the man on the phone asked.
"Nine A.M." came the reply. "And what's the idea of calling me at home in the middle of the night to ask a question like that?"
"Not until nine A.M.?" the man asked in a disappointed voice.
"No, not till nine A.M.!" the librarian said. "Why do you want to get in before nine A.M.?"
"Who said I wanted to get in?" the man sighed sadly. "I want to get out."
```````````````

One day, Satan was out for a walk through Hell, making sure things were running smoothly. When he got to the Lake of Fire, he saw a man sitting by the lake, relaxing in a lawn chair, and not sweating or looking uncomfortable at all. Perplexed, Satan approached the man and asked:

"Young man, are you not hot or bothered by this heat?" The man replied, "Oh no, not at all. I lived in downtown Toronto and this weather is just like a typical July day in the city." Satan thought that this was not a good sign, so he rushed back to his office and turned up the heat in Hell another 100 degrees. Satisfied with himself, he again returned to the Lake of Fire to check on the young man.

When he got there, the man was showing a few beads of sweat, but that was all. Again Satan asked the Torontonian, "Are you hot and uncomfortable yet?" The young man looked up and said, "No, the temperature is just like a hot August day in Toronto. I'm coping it just fine."

Satan decided that he had to do something drastic to make this man's stay in Hell unpleasant. He went back to his office, turned the heat all the way down, and then turned up the air conditioning. The temperature in Hell quickly dropped well below zero. As he approached the Lake of Fire, he noticed that it was now frozen over. He also saw the Torontonian jumping up and down wildly, waving his arms and yelling into the air.

"This looks promising!" thought Satan. Coming closer, he finally made out what the man was shouting: "The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup! The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup!"
````````````````

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 bunch of young women 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 women 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 or make you get out of the pond, I only came to feed my alligators." Old age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill every time!
````````````````

A teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. Kathy said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made
a mess." "And what's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" "Very good," said the teacher.

Next little Lucy raised a hand and said, "Our family are farmers, too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks and the moral to this story is, don't count your chickens until they're hatched." "That was a fine story Lucy. Johnny, do you have a story to share?"

"Yes, ma'am! My daddy told me this story about my Aunt Marge. She was a flight engineer during Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a Machete. So .. she drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break. Then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed 70 of them with the machine gun until it ran out of bullets! Then she killed 20 more with the machete till the blade broke; then she killed the last 10 with her bare hands." "Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?" "Stay away from Aunt Marge when she's been drinking."
`````````````````````

A man with a nagging secret couldn't keep it any longer. In the confessional he admitted that for years he had been stealing building supplies from the lumberyard where he worked. "What did you take?" his priest asked. "Enough to build my own house and enough for my son's house. And houses for our two daughters and our cottage at the lake." "This is very serious," the priest said. "I shall have to think of a far-reaching penance. Have you ever done a retreat?" "No, Father, I haven't," the man replied. "But if you can get the plans, I can get the lumber."
`````````````````````

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan". Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, "But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
```````````````````

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


It never did get very warm here today, I took the little doggies to the park, and it was very windy, so it felt like about 35 degrees. shiver


We went to Walmart for some groceries, and the dogs didn't even bother help me load them, or carry them in the house. mad12


They expected a snack though, for standing bye and giving me moral support. puppy


I have been doing some gaming this afternoon. I rode a white horse across the ocean in a pouring rain storm. I was struck by lightening and my face burned half off, and my hair smoking. Then I got another shock and was bitten by a monster in a well, and cut my hand open on a glass tower. duh12


These adventure games are not as fun to play as they used to be. wink12


Tomorrow I'll probably do something a little more pleasurable, like plucking every hair off my legs. santadance


Have a happy day everyone. thumbsup12

Good morning all. Ooh thanks for my breakfast connie. This is my only day off. I'm bringing my car in for an oil change. I have Christmas stuff to accomplish today. Hopefully I'll get most of it done. Sometime today I need to go to my chiropractor's, and later I'm meeting one of my best friend's for coffee and tea. We couldn't meet last week so I'm hoping we get to see each other today.

Have a great day everyone. Hugs.

Wonderful Wednesday ya'll puppy

It's cool in AL, and the weatherman has promised colder yet. Not too excited though as I had the AC running yesterday, so cooler is welcome.

Not sure what I will do today...

I got a lovely call from my ONLY Aunt yesterday. She's an exceptional person. Only one in the family who keeps in touch and always remembers my birthday. Fun. Last year, her oldest son (my cousin) convinced her to sell her house (lived in since the 50's) and move in with him and his wife in another state. They had just moved and bought a huge house with 'separate' living quarters for Mom. So she did, thought it would all be puppies and kittens, and after a few months, it was all over. She thought they would do things together, go places, chat, etc. Instead she was left alone, encouraged to 'make new friends' and treated like she was in need of 'care'. The cousin called me to say that his mom was showing signs of dementia, forgetting things, acting strangely. Sounded NOT like what I knew of her.

So in a few months, I get call from my Aunt and she's happy and healthy and moved back to her old home town, into a nice senior apartment complex and found a new 'guy' and has her old friends there and making new ones. We discussed her son's 'comments' about her and she enlightened me on the problems of him trying to 'take care of her'. She is fiercely independent and at 83 was still holding down a job with the local University.

So the latest call, almost a year later was good, She told me everything about everyone, from her sons, their wives, children, grandchildren, etc. Where they are, who graduated from where, jobs they now have, etc. So nice to get filled in on all that. No dementia signs that I see and her only complaint is 'back stiffness' in the mornings. Such a neat lady. I can hardly wait till I get the annual Christmas letter from my cousin, to see if he says anything about all this. He's a prolific writer. After my Aunt moved out and back 'home', her son didn't talk to her for almost 9 months. Now he's finally calling her instead of vice-versa. She's feeling a bit better, but never blamed him for anything. Just another bump in the road so she says. So glad she called so I now have a good phone number, and her email address. Last stuff I sent (way back when) went to the SON. Ugh. Thank goodness I didn't say anything 'interesting'. We laughed about that snafu too.

So the day was great until...major accident at MY corner. Won't go into details, but someone was ejected from the car and we had 2 fire trucks, FIVE ambulances, police all over, and CRIME scene tape on the car. Oh oh. Nothing on the news so we will probably never hear the details. Just know it was someone who blew the 4-way stop sign and there were 2 cars involved. So awful, just 3 doors away from me. Used to be worse before we got the 4-way stop. This is the first accident in a long time. People are in such a hurry around here and just blow through stop signs if they think nobody is close. Awful.


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.
