On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman and their three sons.
Early one morning, the woman awoke, and while looking out of the window onto to the pasture, she saw that the familys only cow was lying dead in the field. The situation looked hopeless to her -- how could she possibly continue to feed her family now?
In a depressed state of mind, she hung herself. When the husband awoke to find his wife dead, as well as the cow, he too began to see the hopelessness of the situation, and he shot himself in the head.
Now the oldest son woke up to discover his parents dead (and the cow), and he decided to go down to the river and drown himself.
When he got to the river, he discovered a mermaid sitting on the bank. She said, Ive seen all and know the reason for your despair. But if you will have sex with me five times in a row, I will restore your parents and the cow to you.
The son agreed to try, but after four times, he was simply unable to satisfy her again. So the mermaid drowned him in the river.
Next the second oldest son woke up. After discovering what had happened, he too decided to throw himself into the river.
The mermaid said to him, If you will have make love with me ten times in a row, I will make everything right. And while the son tried his best (seven times), it was not enough to satisfy the mermaid, so she drowned him in the river.
The youngest son woke up and saw his parents dead, the dead cow in the field, and his brothers gone. He decided that life was a hopeless prospect, and he went down to the river to throw himself in.
And there he also met the mermaid. I have seen all that has happened, and I can make everything right if you will only make love with me fifteen times in a row.
The young son replied, Is that all? Why not twenty times in a row?
The mermaid was somewhat taken aback by this request. Then he said, Hell, why not twenty-five times in a row? And even as she was reluctantly agreeing to his request, he said, Why not THIRTY times in a row?
Finally, she said, Enough Okay, if you will make love with me thirty times in a row, then I will bring everybody back to perfect health.
Then the young son asked: "Wait How do I know that thirty times in a row wont kill you like it did the cow?"

A man returns from Africa feeling very ill. He visits his doctor, who immediately rushes the guy to the Mayo Clinic.
The man wakes up to the ringing of a telephone in a stark room at the hospital and answers it. We've received the results from your tests, says the doctor on the other end of the line. Bad news you have Ebola.
Oh, my God, cries the man. Doc! What am I going to do?
Don't worry. First, we're going to put you on a diet of pizza, pancakes, and pita bread, says the doctor.
Will that cure me?
No, but it's the only food we???ll be able to get under the door.

Sadie's husband Jake has been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet his faithful wife stays by his bedside day and night.
One night, Jake comes to and motions for her to come closer. He says, "My Sadie, you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what, Sadie?"
"What Dear?" she asked gently.
"I think you're bad luck."

Good morning everyboomie.
Hump Day already?
I'm having a little trouble adjusting to the time change.
I'm used to getting ready for bed when it gets dark, so now I have to get this posted and get to bed a whole hour earlier.
That's because I'm scared of the dark. When it gets dark, I have to draw the shades and jump into bed, and hide under the covers.
I know from my childhood that the monsters can't find me if I hide under the covers.
I'm pretty sure I can't count on Missy to protect me.
I have to say though, that she makes a heck of a burglar alarm.
Have a happy day everyone.
