There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.

~Winston Churchill~

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

Arthur Davidson, inventor of the Harley Davidson motorcycle
corporation, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter
told Arthur, "since you've been such a good man and your
motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can
hang out with anyone you want in heaven."

Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to
hang out with God."

So Arthur asked God " Hey, aren't you the inventor of woman?"

God said, "ah, yes."

"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some
major design flaws in your invention:

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion.

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.

3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.

4. The intake is placed way to close to the exhaust.

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous."

"Hmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God,
"hold on." so God went to his celestial super computer, typed in
a few words, and waited for the results.

The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God tells Arthur,
"but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention
than yours".

A very attractive young lady was sitting in a fine restaurant one night.

Waiting for her date as she was, she wanted to make sure everything was perfect. So, as she bends down in her chair to get the mirror from her purse, she accidentally passed gas quite loudly just as the waiter walks up.

Sitting up straight now, embarrassed and red faced, knowing everyone in the place heard her, turns to the waiter and demands "Stop That!"

The waiter looks at her dryly and says "Sure lady, which way was it headed?"

There was a guy walking down the street in San Fransisco, and he tripped over an old looking oil lamp. He picked it up and

hid it under his jacket, because he thought it was priceless. While he was running to the antique shop to cash this puppy

in, it rubbed against his shirt. *POOF* A genie popped out of his pocket!!!

The very angry looking Genie said, ''Alright, I have had enough with this three wish stuff, and 'cuz you stole me away from

my HBO Special, I will only give you one wish!''

The suprised man said, ''OK, I want to live in Hawaii in a huge condo on the beach with three million dollars in the master

bedroom, but I am afraid of boats and planes so I want you to build a bridge from here to Hawaii.''

The genie replied with a smirk, ''Are you crazy? Do you know how long that will take, with the pillars going down to the

bottom of the ocean, all the cement it would take for the highway? No I'm sorry, it just can't happen.''

The man said, ''Fine then, I want to understand women.''

The genie said, '' Would you like two lanes or four?''

It seems that Reagan and Gorbachev arranged a competition to determine whose nation had the bravest troops. The two leaders arrived, at the designated hour, on a plateau in Finland high above the water. Each was accompanied by a battalion of crack troops, smartly uniformed. The leaders shook hands.

Reagan went first. He addressed his battalion of Marines:

"Private Jones! Front and center."

Private Jones saluted and briskly marched to the front of the ranks, facing his commander.

"Private Jones! March to the edge of the cliff."

Private Jones saluted and briskly marched to the very edge of the cliff.

"Private Jones! Jump!"

Jones just stood there, unmoving.

"Private Jones! I said jump!"

The man's knees started to shake, but he was otherwise motionless.

"Private Jones! This is your Commander-in-Chief. I ORDER YOU TO JUMP!!!" Private Jones wailed out: "I can't! I have a wife--and a family!"

The MPs arrived and escorted Jones away for court martial. Reagan backed off in disgrace. It was now Gorbachev's turn.

"Comrade Dmitrivich! Front and center."

Comrade Dmitrivich saluted and briskly marched to the front of the ranks, facing his commander.

"Comrade Dmitrivich! March to the edge of the cliff."

Dmitrivich saluted and briskly marched to the very edge of the cliff.

"Comrade Dmitrivich! Jump!"

Dmitrivich jumped off the cliff.

By some miracle, he is snagged on a branch and he lands on a crag some 50 feet below the top of the cliff. Dmitrivich is badly injured, but still alive and conscious. He is carried away on a stretcher.

As Dmitrivich is carried passed Private Jones, Jones cannot resist asking him:

"Dmitrivich! How could you do it? How could you jump?"

Dmitrivich answered: "I had to! I have a wife--and a family!"

Magnificent Monday ya'll puppy

We are still hot hot hot, but "they" are saying we could be "70's" instead of 80's by the end of the week. I'm excited.

I'm heading out to wander walk Keoki before it gets too hot for us both. That will be followed by lots of laundry and perhaps some errands. wavegirl
