worth stopping whatever you're doing, telling everyone else

A van carrying a dozen movie stuntmen on the way to a
film location in the mountains spun out of control on the
icy road, crashed through a guard-rail, rolled down a 90
foot embankment, turned over, and burst into flames.

There were no injuries.

Finishing up our work at a trade show in San Diego, my
co-worker Maureen and I decided to go sightseeing across
the border in Tijuana, Mexico. While there, we went
shopping and bought a few pieces of clay kitchenware.

As we crossed back into the United States, a customs
official asked if we had anything of value to report.

"Not really," Maureen replied, digging in her bag for the
bean crock she had purchased. Everyone around us froze
as she continued, "I only bought a little pot."

Did You Ever Wonder . . .
Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken
computer in it?

Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you
use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day when mattresses are NOT on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator
with the hopes that something new to eat will have
materialized?

On electric toasters, why do they engrave the message
'one slice'? How many pieces of bread do they think
people are really gonna try to stuff in that slot?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen
times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down,
pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give their
vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from
the end you first try?

How do those dead bugs get into closed light fixtures?

Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you
kept drying your clothes would they eventually just
disappear?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams
our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for
doing so, why do we say, 'Its all right." It isn't all right,
so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something
that's falling off the table you always manage to knock
something else over?

Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale
and a trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is
placed?

In winter, why do we try to keep the house as warm
as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come we never hear any father-in-law jokes?

Southernisms
1. Only a true Southerner knows the difference between
a hissie fit and a conniption and that you don't "HAVE"
them, -- you "PITCH" them.
2. Only a true Southerner knows how much any fish,
collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc. make up
"a mess" (as in "a mess" of greens).
3. Only a true Southerner can show or point out to you
the general direction of "yonder."
4. Only a true Southerner knows exactly how long
"directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back directly.
(generally pronounced dreckly)
5. All true Southerners, even babies, know that "Gimme
some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet
substancethat sits in a pretty little bowl on the middle of
the table.
6. All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by"
is. They might not use the term, but they know the
concept well.
7. Only a true Southerner knows instinctively that the
best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble
is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold
potato salad. (If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis,
they also know to add a large banana puddin')
8. Only true Southerners grow up knowing the difference
between "right near" and "a right far (pronounced "fur")
piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be
1 mile or 20.
9. No true Southerner would ever assume that the car
with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make
a turn.

The Truth About Diets This 85-year-old couple, having
been married almost 60 years, die tragically in a car
crash. They have been in good health the last ten years,
mainly due to the wife's nearly neurotic interest in health
food.

When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them
to their mansion, which was decked out with a beautiful
kitchen and master bath suite, complete with Jacuzzi.
As they "oohed and aahed' the old man asked St. Peter
how much all this was going to cost.

"It's free," St. Peter replied, "Remember, this is Heaven."

Next they went out back to see the championship golf
course the home backed up to. They would have golfing
privileges every day, and each week the course changed
to a new one representing the great golf courses on Earth.

The old man asked, "What are the green fees?"

"This is Heaven," St. Peter replied. "You play for free."

Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet
lunch with the cuisines of the world laid out.

"How much to eat?" asked the old man.

"Don't you understand yet?" St. Peter asked. "This is
Heaven. It's free!"

"Well, where are the low-fat and low-cholesterol foods?"
the old man asked timidly.

"That's the best part ... you can eat as much as you like
of whatever you like and never get fat and you never
get sick. This is Heaven."

The old man looked at his wife and said, "You and
your #@!%&~bran muffins. I could have been here
ten years ago!"

Thanks to my neighbor Mike for these:
I hope these are all true, but......
1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?
AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months,
saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a
$26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter
who's lacking intelligence.

2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS:
Police in Oakland, California spent two hours
attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded
himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas
canisters, officers discovered that the man was
standing beside them in the police line, shouting,
"Please come out and give yourself up."

3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???
An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped
a motorist and forced him to drive to two different
ATM's, where in thekidnapper proceeded to withdraw
money from his own bank accounts.

4. THE GETAWAY!
A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas, Kwik Stop, and
asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently,
the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk
and worked the counter himself for three hours until
police showed up and grabbed him.

5. DID I SAY THAT???
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery
suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup.
When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat
the words: "Give me all your money or I'll shoot," the
man shouted, "That's not what I said!"

6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING??
A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is
pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes
apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked.
"No!" the man shouted, "This is her husband!"

7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!!
In Modesto, California, Steven Richard King was
arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America
branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and
a finger to simulate a gun, fortunately, he failed to
keep his hand in his pocket (hellllllooooooo!)

8. THE GRAND FINALE (I LOVE THIS ONE!!!)
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the
high desert, (an hour east of Bakersfield, CA), some
folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No
matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their
brand new 22 ft. boat going. It was very sluggish in
almost every maneuver, no matter how much power
was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it
go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone
there could tell them what was wrong. A thorough
topside check revealed everything in perfect working
condition. The engine ran fine, the out drive went up
and down, and the prop was the correct size and pitch.
So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to
check underneath. He came up choking on water, he
was laughing so hard.

NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE....Under the boat,
still strapped securely in place, was the trailer. Does
any one else find it frightening that the majority of these
events took place in California...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to Erin for these:
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
immediately take the words back...or that you could
crawl into a hole? Here are the Testimonials of a few
people who did....

FIRST TESTIMONY: I walked into a hair salon with
my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly,
"How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?"
I turned around and walked back out and never went
back. My husband didn't say a word . . .he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY: I was at the golf store
comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy
with the women's type I had been using. After browsing
for several minutes, I was approached by one of the
good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He
asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked
at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

THIRD TESTIMONY: My sister and I were at the mall
and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and
nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy
behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I
replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister
started to laugh hysterically, The boy grinned, and I
turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my
Sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY: While in line at the bank one
afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up
energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of
her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from
other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving
"right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she
looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening,
"If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that
I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence
was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the
tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the
last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my
daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door
closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY: Have you ever asked your child
a question too many times? My three-year-old son had
a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him
constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick
lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full
dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something
funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old
daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny
had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he
needed to go, and he said "No".

I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident,
and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said,
"Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"

"No," he replied.

I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because
the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more
time, "Danny, did you have an accident?"

This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent
over and spread his cheeks and yelled, "SEE MOM, IT' S
JUST FARTS!!" While 30 people nearly choked to death
on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and
sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking
me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST TESTIMONY: This had most of the state of
Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed
female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think
before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow
but don't get any....a true story... We had a female news
anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have
snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked:
"So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"

Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew
did too they were laughing! so hard!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More from Erin:This came from a Catholic elementary
school. The kids were asked questions about the Old and
