Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy your children will not have declared you legally insane in order to gain control of your estate.
Woody Allen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple go on holiday to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota.

The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.

Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies (thinking it was obvious).

"You're in a restricted fishing area" he informs her.

"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I am reading" she replies.

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up'' the warden says.

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault" says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you!" says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Job Interview

A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What do two plus two equal?"

The mathematician replies "Four."
The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?" The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says "Yes, four, exactly."

Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question "What do two plus two equal?" The accountant says "On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four."

Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question "What do two plus two equal?"

The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says "What do you want it to equal?"

New Work Policies

SICK DAYS:
We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

SURGERY:
Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of your employment contract.

PERSONAL DAYS:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

VACATION DAYS:
All employees will take their vacations at the same time every year. The vacation days are as follows: Jan. 1, July 4 & Dec. 25.

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or coworkers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is unavoidable, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and
subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work is done.

OUT FROM YOUR OWN DEATH:
This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks notice as it is your duty to train your own replacement.

RESTROOM USE:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For instance, all employees whose names begin with 'A' will go from 8:00 to 8:20, employees whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8:20 to 8:40 and so on. If you're unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the
next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may swap their time with a coworker. Both employees' supervisors (in writing)
must approve this exchange. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, and the stall door will open.

LUNCH BREAK:
Skinny people get an hour for lunch as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy, normal size people get 30 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain the average figure. Overweight people get 5 minutes for lunch because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast & take a diet pill.

DRESS CODE:
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary, if we see you wearing $350 Prada sneakers & carrying a $600 Gucci bag we assume
you are doing financially well and therefore you do not need a raise.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplation's, consternation's or input should
be directed elsewhere.

Have a nice week.

Human Resources Department

And for Nan

Taxi Driver

A passenger in a taxi tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him something.

The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up
over the curb and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, then the driver said, "Please,
don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me."

The passenger, who was also frightened, apologized and said he didn't
realize that a tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much, to which the
driver replied, "I'm sorry, it's really not your fault at all. Today is my
first day driving a cab, I have been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.

Good morning everyone. Nan, prayers SIL's recovery is quick and easy. L4L, prayers Lil Soot is not in much pain and recovers quickly. Hubby will take the car in to get the oil changed this morning. We will most likely make a regular grocery store trip later today. To all here and all who follow, have a Super Thursday. Assorted Danish, Cinnamon apple pancakes with maple syrup, and Fruit cups in the NC. penguin

Good morning Boomers.

Woke up to about 3/4 inch of snow. Not much but we could get up to 3 inches today. Think I will stay home. The wind chill was 6 this morning and the high is predicted to get to 26 and windy. Yuck.

As soon as I get pics put on the computer, I will post some of the cardinals around our feeder. We had about 20 at one time out there.

Glad you're feeling better, Cailyn! rah

Have a nice day, too, Gerry, and stay warm! shiver

luck with your physical today, Gail!

Hope your shift goes by quickly, Midge!

Have fun shopping today, Connie!

Sounds like a good day for a gaming day, Bets. Looking forward to your pictures!

Hope work goes well, Darlene!

Nan, hope SIL has a quick recovery!! Sending all best thoughts and well wishes!! hearts

Well, apparently the manager from the company I need to speak with still isn't in today. slapforehead I've asked fiance if he could at least try to get his contact information from one of the girls from the company. I can't believe he hasn't been in yet. When I was working more frequently, he was generally in at least a few times a week. Well, hopefully fiance will find out something because this is getting frustrating.

Okay, off to see what else is happening. Hope everyone is having a terrific day so far! winter

Thumping Good Thursday ya'll puppy

We have blue skies! It's cold but at least it is not cold happydance

I've been playing with the Cully. He has a Thundercatz sword and I'm using the Jedi lightsaber.

Lil Soot did better last night but was still up quite a bit and Soot took him for a long walk at 4 a.m. He can do that until Lil Soot is healed, but then I'm going to quash that habit.

Apparently today is Monday as I'll be cooking the books in just a second. Hopefully, it will be quick and easy. Maybe I'll put them in the crockpot.

Connie,how is the Chemo going?

Back Later wave

Update: Eeeek...they just said below freezing tonight eek I've entertained notions of running the AC for the last week, and now Below Freezing! happydance

oops I thought I stopped in after my workout class this morning but I guess I only thought it.

It's snowing here and our area is one of the heavier forecasts of 8.5 inches. We shall see. I am trying to hustle my work so I can go skiing this weekend! Finally!

Hope you all are enjoying your day, I shall be back. I have to retreat to the corner again...
