Are you paying too much at the drug store?
http://www.wisinfo.com/northwestern/news/archive/local_14941406.shtml
The moral of the story: shop around and don't shop at the
"W" store (that can be Walgreens or Walmart in my book,
both are forcing out competition, mostly mom and pop
business that many times offer a better deal on better
products and certainly a better way of life for small business
owners than working for a "W" store.)
The State of Wisconsin thinks we pay too much and put

08:41 AM Mar. 24, 2004 PT 'Think of it as a variation on the
old "If you didn't bring enough gum to share with everyone,
you can't chew gum" theme. Commissioners in Benton
County, Oregon, perplexed over the legal ramifications of
banning same-sex marriages, have decided to ban all marriages
until the courts settle the issue. As of 4 pm local time Tuesday,
the county stopped issuing marriage licenses, regardless of
the combination involved.'

Two women were at a bar. One looked at the other and
said, "You know, 80 percent of all men think the best way
to end an argument is to make love."
"Well," said the other, "that will certainly revolutionize
the game of hockey!"

A blonde was standing in front of a soda machine muttering,
"You're a dumb-looking button. You don't have much of a
future, either. You're going to be replaced by a much better
looking button."
"What are you doing?" her girlfriend asked.
The blonde quickly pointed to the sign on the front of
the machine that read "DEPRESS BUTTON FOR ICE".

As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I
work, I ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If
they are, I print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's
wrists.
Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies,
she said she couldn't eat bananas.
Imagine my surprise when several hours later a very irate son
came out to the nurses' station demanding, "Who's responsible
for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"

Three blondes (natural) died and found themselves standing
before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter
the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.
The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have
a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.
The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate
Jesus' birth and exchange gifts."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.
The third blonde said, she knew what Easter is, and St.
Peter said, "So, tell me."
She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with
the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover
feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas,
and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on
the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him
in a tomb behind a very large boulder ...
St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good."
Then the blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews
roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his
shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."
St. Peter fainted.

I had just moved to an address between Sunset Avenue
and Sunset Blvd., one of Sacramento's major streets, and
was explaining to a clerk where my home was located for

"Oh, honey," she knowingly replied, "we all do."

Bubba and Billy Bob are blondes from Alabama visiting a
relative in Georgia. Walking along Peachtree Street, they
see a sign on a store which reads, "Suits $5.00 each, shirts
$2.00 each, trousers $2.50 per pair."
Bubba says to his pal, "Billy Bob, Look! We could buy a
whole lot of those, and when we get back to Alabama, we
could make a fortune. Now when we go into the shop, you
be quiet, okay? Just let me do all the talking cause if they
hear our accent, they might not be nice to us. I'll speak in
my best Georgia drawl."
They go in and Bubba says, "I'll take 50 suits at $5.00 each,
100 shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of trousers at $2.50
each. I'll back up my pickup and ..."
The owner of the shop interrupts, "You're from Alabama,
aren't you?"
"Well...yes," says a surprised Bubba. "How come you know that?"
The owner says, "This is a dry cleaners."

Never leave your wife's anniversary present in a Wal-Mart bag.
Children have more need of models than of critics
The person who pays for the pizza gets the toppings that
fall off in the box.
Definition of a will: It's a dead giveaway.
Sadder than work left unfinished, is work never begun.
Remove the silver from a mirror and even a rich man won't

Don't ever slam a door; you might want to go back.

When you do not breathe, you expire.

"GLOBALIZATION; International Thinking At Its Best!
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American,
using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian truck drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is "Globalization."

The results of a recent survey have been released.
It was a poll on how women felt about the size of their ass.
The findings of the study are very interesting:
85% of women think their ass is too big.
10% of women think their ass is too small.
5% of women say that they don't care, they love him and
would have married him anyway.

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter,
ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough
to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave,
because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't
able to name that person, until the woman gave a very
touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily
let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to
giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in
general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little
in return. As soon as she finished her speech, all the men
started clapping their hands.........................

Thanks to my neighbor Mike for these
Despite how you may have personally felt about the issue,
there was a good logical reason for removing the Ten
Commandments monument from the Alabama Supreme
Court building.
You cannot post things like "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery", and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a
building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a
hostile work environment.

Dr. Seuss Sees America
The Whos down in Whoville liked people a lot,
But the Grinch in the White House most certainly did not.
He didn't arrive there by the will of the Whos,
But stole the election that he really did lose.
Vowed to "rule from the middle," then installed his regime.
(Did this really happen, or is it just a bad dream?)
He didn't listen to voters, just his friends he was pleasin'
Now, please don't ask why, who knows what's the reason.
It could be his heart wasn't working just right.
It could be, perhaps, that he wasn't too bright.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
Is that both brain and heart were two sizes too small.
In times of great turmoil, this was bad news,
To have a government that ignores its Whos.
But the Whos shrugged their shoulders, went on with
their work,
Their duties as citizens so casually did shirk.
They shopped at the mall and watched their T.V.
They drove a gas guzzling big S.U.V.,
Oblivious to what was going on in D.C.,
Ignoring the threats to democracy.
They read the same papers that ran the same leads,
Reporting what only served corporate needs.
(For the policies affecting the lives of all nations
Were made by the giant U.S. Corporations.)
Big business grew fatter, fed by its own greed,
And by people who shopped for things they didn't need.
But amidst all the apathy came signs of unrest,
The Whos came to see we were fouling our nest.
And the people who cared for the ideals of this nation
Began to discuss and exchange information:
The things they couldn't read, in the corporate-owned
news, Of FTAA meetings and CIA coups,
Of drilling for oil and restricting rights.
They published some books, created Websites,
Began to write letters, and use their e-mail
(Though Homeland Security might send them to jail!)
What began as a whisper soon grew to a roar,
These things going on they could no longer ignore.
They started to rise up and reach out to all
Let their voices be heard, they rose to the call,
To vote, to petition, to gather, dissent,
To question the policies of the "President."
As greed gained in power and power knew no shame
The Whos came together, sang "Not in our name!"
One by one from their sleep and their slumber they woke
The old and the young, all kinds of folk,
The black, brown and white, the gay, bi- and straight,
All united to sing, "Feed our hope, not our hate!
Stop stockpiling weapons and aiming for war!
Stop feeding the rich, start feeding the poor!
Stop storming the deserts to fuel SUV's!
Stop telling us lies on the mainstream TV's!
Stop treating our children as a market to sack!
Stop feeding them Barney, Barbie and Big Mac!
Stop trying to addict them to lifelong consuming,
In a time when severe global warming is looming!
Stop sanctions that are killing the kids in Iraq!
Start dealing with ours that are strung out on crack!"
A mighty sound started to rise and to grow,
"The old way of thinking simply must go!
Enough of God versus Allah, Muslim vs. Jew
With what lies ahead, it simply won't do.
No American dream that cares only for wealth
Ignoring the need for community health.
The rivers and forests are demanding their pay,
If we're to survive, we must walk a new way.
No more excessive and mindless consumption
Let's sharpen our minds and garner our gumption.
For the ideas are simple, but the practice is hard,
And not to be won by a poem on a card.
It needs the ideas and the acts of each Who,
So let's get together and plan what to do!"
And so they all gathered from all 'round the Earth
And from it all came a miraculous birth.
The hearts and the minds of the Whos they did grow,
Three sizes to fit what they felt and they know.
While the Grinches they shrank from their hate and
their greed,
Bearing the weight of their every foul deed.
From that day onward the standard of wealth,
Was whatever fed the Whos' spiritual health.
They gathered together to revel and feast,
And thanked all who worked to conquer their beast.
For although our story pits Grinches 'gainst Whos,
The true battle lies in what we daily choose.
For inside each Grinch is a tiny small Who,
And inside each Who is a tiny Grinch too.
One thrives on love and one thrives on greed.
Who will win out? It depends who you feed!

THE FIRST BLONDE MALE JOKE
The Sheriff in a small town walks out in the street and sees
a blonde cowboy coming down the walk with nothing on
but his cowboy hat, gun and his boots, so he arrests him for
indecent exposure.
As he is locking him up, he asks "Why in the world are you
dressed like this?"
The Cowboy says "Well it's like this Sheriff... I was in the
bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to
go out to her motor home with her ... so I did.
We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull
off my shirt ...so I did.
Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my
pants ... so I did.
Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my
shorts ... so I did.
Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy
and says, "Now go to town cowboy... "
And here I am.

business that many times offer a better deal on better
products and certainly a better way of life for small business
owners than working for a "W" store.)

old "If you didn't bring enough gum to share with everyone,
you can't chew gum" theme. Commissioners in Benton

Two women were at a bar. One looked at the other and
said, "You know, 80 percent of all men think the best way
to end an argument is to make love."
"Well," said the other, "that will certainly revolutionize
the game of hockey!"

A blonde was standing in front of a soda machine muttering,
"You're a dumb-looking button. You don't have much of a
future, either. You're going to be replaced by a much better
looking button."
"What are you doing?" her girlfriend asked.
The blonde quickly pointed to the sign on the front of
the machine that read "DEPRESS BUTTON FOR ICE".

As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I
work, I ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If
they are, I print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's
wrists.
Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies,
she said she couldn't eat bananas.
Imagine my surprise when several hours later a very irate son
came out to the nurses' station demanding, "Who's responsible
for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"

Three blondes (natural) died and found themselves standing
before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter
the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.
The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have
a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.
The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate
Jesus' birth and exchange gifts."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.
The third blonde said, she knew what Easter is, and St.
Peter said, "So, tell me."
She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with
the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover
feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas,
and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on
the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him
in a tomb behind a very large boulder ...
St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good."
Then the blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews
roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his
shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."
St. Peter fainted.

Bubba and Billy Bob are blondes from Alabama visiting a
relative in Georgia. Walking along Peachtree Street, they
see a sign on a store which reads, "Suits $5.00 each, shirts
$2.00 each, trousers $2.50 per pair."
Bubba says to his pal, "Billy Bob, Look! We could buy a
whole lot of those, and when we get back to Alabama, we
could make a fortune. Now when we go into the shop, you
be quiet, okay? Just let me do all the talking cause if they
hear our accent, they might not be nice to us. I'll speak in
my best Georgia drawl."
They go in and Bubba says, "I'll take 50 suits at $5.00 each,
100 shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of trousers at $2.50
each. I'll back up my pickup and ..."
The owner of the shop interrupts, "You're from Alabama,
aren't you?"
"Well...yes," says a surprised Bubba. "How come you know that?"
The owner says, "This is a dry cleaners."

"GLOBALIZATION; International Thinking At Its Best!
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American,
using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian truck drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is "Globalization."

The results of a recent survey have been released.
It was a poll on how women felt about the size of their ass.
The findings of the study are very interesting:
85% of women think their ass is too big.
10% of women think their ass is too small.
5% of women say that they don't care, they love him and
would have married him anyway.

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter,
ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough
to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave,
because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't
able to name that person, until the woman gave a very
touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily
let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to
giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in
general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little
in return. As soon as she finished her speech, all the men
started clapping their hands.........................

Thanks to my neighbor Mike for these
Despite how you may have personally felt about the issue,
there was a good logical reason for removing the Ten
Commandments monument from the Alabama Supreme
Court building.
You cannot post things like "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery", and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a
building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a
hostile work environment.

Dr. Seuss Sees America
The Whos down in Whoville liked people a lot,
But the Grinch in the White House most certainly did not.
He didn't arrive there by the will of the Whos,
But stole the election that he really did lose.
Vowed to "rule from the middle," then installed his regime.
(Did this really happen, or is it just a bad dream?)
He didn't listen to voters, just his friends he was pleasin'
Now, please don't ask why, who knows what's the reason.
It could be his heart wasn't working just right.
It could be, perhaps, that he wasn't too bright.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
Is that both brain and heart were two sizes too small.
In times of great turmoil, this was bad news,
To have a government that ignores its Whos.
But the Whos shrugged their shoulders, went on with
their work,
Their duties as citizens so casually did shirk.
They shopped at the mall and watched their T.V.
They drove a gas guzzling big S.U.V.,
Oblivious to what was going on in D.C.,
Ignoring the threats to democracy.
They read the same papers that ran the same leads,
Reporting what only served corporate needs.
(For the policies affecting the lives of all nations
Were made by the giant U.S. Corporations.)
Big business grew fatter, fed by its own greed,
And by people who shopped for things they didn't need.
But amidst all the apathy came signs of unrest,
The Whos came to see we were fouling our nest.
And the people who cared for the ideals of this nation
Began to discuss and exchange information:
The things they couldn't read, in the corporate-owned
news, Of FTAA meetings and CIA coups,
Of drilling for oil and restricting rights.
They published some books, created Websites,
Began to write letters, and use their e-mail
(Though Homeland Security might send them to jail!)
What began as a whisper soon grew to a roar,
These things going on they could no longer ignore.
They started to rise up and reach out to all
Let their voices be heard, they rose to the call,
To vote, to petition, to gather, dissent,
To question the policies of the "President."
As greed gained in power and power knew no shame
The Whos came together, sang "Not in our name!"
One by one from their sleep and their slumber they woke
The old and the young, all kinds of folk,
The black, brown and white, the gay, bi- and straight,
All united to sing, "Feed our hope, not our hate!
Stop stockpiling weapons and aiming for war!
Stop feeding the rich, start feeding the poor!
Stop storming the deserts to fuel SUV's!
Stop telling us lies on the mainstream TV's!
Stop treating our children as a market to sack!
Stop feeding them Barney, Barbie and Big Mac!
Stop trying to addict them to lifelong consuming,
In a time when severe global warming is looming!
Stop sanctions that are killing the kids in Iraq!
Start dealing with ours that are strung out on crack!"
A mighty sound started to rise and to grow,
"The old way of thinking simply must go!
Enough of God versus Allah, Muslim vs. Jew
With what lies ahead, it simply won't do.
No American dream that cares only for wealth
Ignoring the need for community health.
The rivers and forests are demanding their pay,
If we're to survive, we must walk a new way.
No more excessive and mindless consumption
Let's sharpen our minds and garner our gumption.
For the ideas are simple, but the practice is hard,
And not to be won by a poem on a card.
It needs the ideas and the acts of each Who,
So let's get together and plan what to do!"
And so they all gathered from all 'round the Earth
And from it all came a miraculous birth.
The hearts and the minds of the Whos they did grow,
Three sizes to fit what they felt and they know.
While the Grinches they shrank from their hate and
their greed,
Bearing the weight of their every foul deed.
From that day onward the standard of wealth,
Was whatever fed the Whos' spiritual health.
They gathered together to revel and feast,
And thanked all who worked to conquer their beast.
For although our story pits Grinches 'gainst Whos,
The true battle lies in what we daily choose.
For inside each Grinch is a tiny small Who,
And inside each Who is a tiny Grinch too.
One thrives on love and one thrives on greed.
Who will win out? It depends who you feed!

THE FIRST BLONDE MALE JOKE
The Sheriff in a small town walks out in the street and sees
a blonde cowboy coming down the walk with nothing on
but his cowboy hat, gun and his boots, so he arrests him for
indecent exposure.
As he is locking him up, he asks "Why in the world are you
dressed like this?"
The Cowboy says "Well it's like this Sheriff... I was in the
bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to
go out to her motor home with her ... so I did.
We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull
off my shirt ...so I did.
Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my
pants ... so I did.
Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my
shorts ... so I did.
Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy
and says, "Now go to town cowboy... "
And here I am.
