Hump Day

Hump Day - 07/12/17 03:00 AM

Wernher von Braun

The best computer is a man, and it’s the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.

```````````

One of our interns asked 
another if she was planning to sign up for the company’s 401(k).

“I’m considering it,” replied the second intern.

Later, the first intern approached me looking concerned.

“I did the math,” she said, “and 401K is almost 250 miles. She’ll never make it!”

```````````

The first time my mother flew, she was a nervous wreck. During takeoff, the roar from the engines proved 
reassuring—it meant they were working, she reasoned. But when the plane leveled off, so did the engines. Grabbing the armrests, she asked aloud, “Did we stop?”

``````

I’m now in high school, so when I ran into my third-grade teacher, I doubted she would remember me.

“Hi, Miss Butcher,” I said.

“Hi, Eddie,” she replied.

“So you do remember me?” I asked.

“Sure. You don’t always leave a good impression, but it is a lasting one.”

```````````

My three-year-old sat in the bathroom with me, watching as I 
removed my dentures and brushed them. After a few minutes, he asked, “Can you take your ears off too?”

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

We were stocking up on 
green beans at the farmers’ market when we asked the young girl 
helping us for 15 pounds’ worth.

“I can only sell you ten pounds of beans,” she said.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because my scale only goes up to ten pounds.”

`````````

The DMV was as crowded and noisy as ever. When I finally got to the 
window, I asked the clerk, “Does the never-ending line of loud people ever drive you crazy?”
She shook her head. “We call it job security.”

``````````

Dad rarely dresses up, so when he left the bedroom decked out in a suit and tie, he wanted to commemorate the moment. Handing me a camera, he asked, “Mind taking a selfie of me?”

```````````

Scene: Me driving by a Taco Bell.

Sign: Now Hiring Managers.

Sign: Now Hiring Managers. Background Checks Required.

```````````

Our boss asked the new mail-room guy to make three copies of 
an office key. The guy returned ten minutes later with the copies … which he’d made on the Xerox machine.

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

Shane works in the deli department of a large supermarket chain, where he often finds himself in trouble. Just look at the notes management has supposedly written to him:

“Shane, stop putting Some 
Assembly Required stickers on 
the eight-piece chickens.”

“Shane, any free samples you 
give must come from the deli, not electronics.”

“Shane, when a customer asks where to find a product, give them an aisle number, not directions to 
Albertsons.”

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

I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth when my squad leader barged in. He was holding a toothbrush, which he proceeded to use to scrub underneath the rim of a toilet.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“Hazing the new guy,” he said with a grin.

“You do know that he could get ill from the bacteria on the toilet.”

His reply was quick and to the point: “You didn’t.”

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

A Briton flies into Australia 
and is asked by the immigration 
officer, “Do you have any felony 
convictions?”

The Briton replies, “Sorry. I didn’t realize that was still a requirement.”

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

We were at a red light when a car pulled up, its music blasting. “He’ll be deaf before he’s 25,” I said.

“It won’t help us,” my wife replied. “He’ll only turn it up.”

`````````

Before beginning the service, our pastor read aloud a note he’d been handed moments earlier. “It says here that I should announce that there will be no B.S. tomorrow morning,” he said. He tucked the piece of paper into a pocket and added, “I’m hoping they mean ‘Bible Study.’”

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


Welcome to another day in the life. smile


Yesterday was a very arduous day at the creek, only to find one pitiful little damaged point on the same sandbar where I found the last one at the creek. I covered as much creek as possible, but early in the morning it was hard to see through the deeper water. duh


At least I didn't come back empty handed. wink


It got up to 95 degrees. blush


Today I'm taking Baby to the vet.


Actually I'm drained from the day.


Have a Happy Hump Day everyone. yes

Happy Hump Day ya'll puppy

I'm off to the dentist in a bit...oh joy.....but it must be done eek Then I'll come home and collapse as the dentist completely drains me.

Son can hardly walk this morning. Not sure what happened, but he is dragging his leg. Was fine when he went to bed, but woke up at 2 in pain sad

Vet emailed to let me know that Keoki's blood tests are still a bit off, so will talk to him this afternoon and decide where to go from here.

Joe, thinking of you and Baby. Hugs

Ana, you still out of the corner?

Gerry wavegirl

Gail, have a great day.

Connie, I'm gonna enjoy those hashbrowns. Thanks

Good lucky with you dentist visit L4L. Must be a dentist sort of day. I'm calling for an appointment to fix a filling/cap that I broke yesterday biting into of all things, an oriental meat/potato ball. Yummy, but the hamburger in it had bits of bone. Darn. Bit one. Hurt, figured I was OK and then wham! Another one (and I was being so careful) and the tooth cracked off in 2 chunks. Ugh. Dunno if it's gonna need a cap or what. Hate this. Money all the time for my teeth. Thank goodness for one of those credit cards for medical stuff. It's sure come in handy lately.

Re: Hump Day - 07/12/17 07:26 PM

Sorta, what CC for medical stuff?

Dentist went fine...I have a few gum line cavities sad which is par for the course for me. My mouth is super dry and I can't use the stuff they make for that. So I have to get with hubby and find a time when he can take me in.

Now it's time to take my achy mouth out on the books....book cooking time.

It's a bank card you put pre tax money on in the beginning of the year for what you think will be your medical expenses. We have A TASC Card that we put money on every year to cover deductibles and chiropractic visits.

Ahhh, so if you don't use it, do you lose it?

Re: Hump Day - 07/12/17 08:33 PM

Yes, it hasn't happened to me, but it has to my daughter and others. They quick stock up on "medical needs" such as bandages, contact lenses, feminine products, extra prescription refills if available etc to spend the money.

Sorry to hear about your dentist visit and the cavities! I hate dentists!

Gail, hearts

Me too.....because of the dryness of my mouth, I'm prone to small, gum line cavities. Oh well...

Re: Hump Day - 07/12/17 09:42 PM

Actually it's not the pre-paid one you are referring to Ana. It's a card called Care Credit. I got the application from my dentist last year. It's a true credit card which comes with 6 months of no interest depending on the charges. Without that I'd not be able to cover the CAP that was needed. Darn darn. There goes another thousand bucks that I don't have. But my dentist (who I have been with exclusively for 48 years) has done a great job of saving most of my teeth. I was one of his first patients when I was in my last year of college and never left. He was young and handsome with the most gorgeous blue eyes, and I was single and only a few years younger. Dreamy man, even though he now has white hair and mine is going gray. We laugh about it and also about the 'husbands and wives' we both have gone through over the years.

Hate the dental part, but love seeing my 'friend'.

Thanks, Sorta. We've been with our dentist for a long time, but not quite that long.

Afternoon, Space, welcome home wavegirl

Hi SpaceQ, are you getting our endless storms? We are floating away here!

Sorta, I see! Sounds like a great card to get interest free medical payments. It's soi expensive!

Re: Hump Day - 07/13/17 12:37 AM

No storms today Ana. Maybe they will be here tomorrow. duh
