In London there's a new service that delivers the morning-after pill to your home by bicycle messenger. And to make sure you don't regret your decision, the pills will be delivered by a kid who is an obnoxious jerk.

A philosopher went into a closet for ten years to contemplate the question, What is life? When he came out, he went into the street and met an old colleague, who asked him where in heaven's name he had been all those years.

"In a closet," he replied. "I wanted to know what life really is."

"And have you found an answer?"

"Yes," he replied. "I think it can best be expressed by saying that life is like a bridge."

"That's all well and good," replied the colleague, "but can you be a little more explicit? Can you tell me how life is like a bridge?"

"Oh," replied the philosopher after some thought, "maybe you're right; perhaps life is not like a bridge."

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning. The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath. The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy.

The 87 year old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."

So, on the way home, the 80 year old stops at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help. He said, "Do you have any rye bread?"

She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"

He said, "I want 5 loaves.

She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves.. by the time you get to the 5th loaf, it'll be hard."

He replied , "I can't believe it, everybody in the world knows about this stuff but me!"

A Swede man goes to a lumber yard to buy some 2x4 lumber.

The salesman of the yard asked the Swede: “How long do you want them?”

The Swede: “For quite a long time, I am building a house with them.”

"And will there be anything else, sir?" the bellboy asked after setting out an elaborate dinner for two.

"No thank you," the gentleman replied. "That will be all."

As the young man turned to leave, he noticed a beautiful satin negligee on the bed. "Anything for your wife ?" he asked.

"Oh yeah! That's a good idea," the fellow said. "Please bring up a postcard."

One day Dean came home from his office and the first thing he did was to shoot his dog. Martin, his neighbor and friend saw this and asked the reason.

Dean said: “An unknown person called my office and informed me that my best friend was fooling around with my wife.”

Martin was mighty relieved.

A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.

Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98."

A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150 .

Two anthropologists fly to the south sea islands to study the natives. They go to two adjacent islands and set to work. A few months later one of them takes a canoe over to the other island to see how his colleague is doing. When he gets there, he finds the other anthropologist standing among a group of natives.

"Greetings! How is it going?" says the visiting anthropologist.

"Wonderful!" says the other, "I have discovered an important fact about the local language! Watch!"

He points at a palm tree and says, "what is that?"
The natives, in unison, say "Umbalo-gong!"
He then points at a rock and says, "and that?"
The natives again intone "Umbalo-gong!"

"You see!", says the beaming anthropologist, "They use the SAME word for 'rock' and for 'palm tree'!"

"That is truly amazing!" says the astonished visiting anthropologist, "On the other island, the same word means 'index finger'!"

```````````````````````````

The linguist's husband walked in and caught his wife sleeping with a young co-ed.

He said, "Why, Susan, I'm surprised."

She bolted upright, pointed her finger and corrected him, "No. I am surprised. You are astonished."

```````````````````````````

Those three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are.

The first one says: "Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow".

The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet".

The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: "You two know nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45"!!

A man was recently flying to New York. He decided to strike up a conversation with his seat mate. "I've got a great policeman joke. Would you like to hear it?"

"I should let you know first that I am a policeman."

"That's OK. I'll tell it really slow!"

`````````````````````````````

Wayne was returning home from a business trip... bags in hand ... and slowly making his way to his vehicle in the crowded airport garage.

Suddenly a large dark car screeched to a stop in front of Wayne, and the driver pointed menacingly at him. “Get in,” the driver ordered. “I’ll take you to your car.”

Startled, Wayne took a step backward. “Ah ... no thanks,” he answered.“ I can get there myself.”

“No,” the man barked back as he threw open his passenger side door. “Get In !”

Wayne’s eyes now darted around the garage, hoping to find a security guard.

Just then, the driver’s face softened ..... “Please,” he said, “I’ve been driving up and down for two hours. I can’t find a space to park and I want yours.

Good Morning Joe, Haroula, RebKean and everyone. Coffee is ready. It's going to be another 90+ degrees today with high humidity! Staying cool and watching the Tour De France. Happy Day wished for All! summer wave

Re: Monday's Diner - 07/20/15 10:30 AM

Let's see, 90 degrees farenheit is 32 degrees celsius. And high humidity on top of that, I'm sorry for you all. We had that kind of heat e few weeks ago here in Sweden, and it's so horrible.
I did't really understand how hot many of you have it over there.
It's not that hot here right now, it's about 60 degrees farenheit and I'm loving it.
Not summer-weather exactly, but I've rather be cold that hot.

Good morning everybody. wave

MsMary!!! YAAAAA!!! Good to see you, and I hope you are feeling very good. kissy

Welcome to the diner RebKean. wave

Yes people here are very caring, and sharing, wonderful people. yes

I have to go in at 1:00 to close tonight. I just took Baby for a walk, and it's already heating up. It's 87 degrees now and feels like 93. We are going up to 99 degrees today. shocked

I was going to jump on my mower and mow the lawn, but I believe I'll pass on that notion. I waited too late, and I don't want to have to shower again before I go to work. razz

I hope it's a super day for all GameBoomers. woot

Magnificent Monday ya'll puppy

Hubby is on the road again. We are hiding from the heat and contemplating what I should clean think

Joe, you crack me up. Thanks! You know if you cut it, it will just grow back, right whistle

Haroula, how is your dad?

RebKean, yes, the heat and humidity together are not fun, but thank God most have air conditioninglol When I was a kid no one had it, and we just lived outside where it was cooler. No wonder we all knew each other better then. Stop in more often, please.

Gerry, thanks for the coffee.

Mary, so good to see you....

Midgy, easy day for you?

Connie, yep a new day and a new week. Hope it's a fun one!

Gail, what's up for you today?

Darlene, happy skooshing!

Ana, have fun whatever you are doing.

Rain, we got some measurable rain in the last 3 days. Neat. NOW our annual rainfall exceeds the 'norm'. So just what does that mean for our DROUGHT? Nothing. The powers that be are still mandating we all tear our our lawns and not water anything after early morning and late at night AND of course, they just sent us a 'proposed' RATE hike. Sure they did. We all conserved so much that now they have to raise our rates to compensate for the lost revenue. What a hoot. AND all the 'drought resistant' plants in the stores are twice the price they were. Yup, someone profits from all of this 'we are running out of drinking water' panic. Hate when that happens. At least the rain will water some of the things they won't let us water without penalty. THEN what will they do? If the 'lawn patrol' sees green, will they cite us for non-compliance? Betcha.

In other news, HUMID. Ugh. No breeze right now so the warm, still, air is oppressive. Well, not like it is in other areas of the country, but we are so spoiled, we get to complain about every little thing. rotfl

Looney, air condition is not very common over here, YET. I'm pretty sure it will be, if the summers keep bringing this kind of heat. We have 4 fans in the apartment, but as I said, I'm sure that we will by an air condition in the future. It's horrible, and I can't believe you all survive in it!
Well, perhaps you all stay in and talk on GB, haha. =)

Re: Monday's Diner - 07/20/15 08:58 PM

Hi L4L wave I'm headed back to work in a few. They have A/C but he keeps it at 74 which isn't cool enough for me. They have a very large old house and only 2 A/C's for the kitchen and Barbara's bedroom. That's not nearly enough. Not looking forward to my 5 to 8 shift.
