AL SHARPTON:      "  So, why are all the chickens white?"

 

 

Dr. Phil:                     " The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he is acting on his current problems before adding any new problems."

 

 

OPRAH:                 "  Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross the road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens."

 

 

 

ANDERSON COOPER:   " We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not been allowed to have access to the other side of the road." 

 

 

NANCY GRACE:  " That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks."

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a bar. Donald leans over, and with a smile on his face says, "The media are really tearing you apart for that scandal."

 

 

Hillary: "You mean lying about Benghazi?"

 

Trump:  "No, the other one."

 

 

Hillary:  " You mean the massive voter fraud?"

 

Trump:  "No, the other one."

 

 

Hillary:  "You mean threats to all of Bill's former mistresses, to keep them quiet?"

 

Trump:  "No, the other one."

 

"Hillary:  "I give up !   Oh wait.... I think I've got it! When I stole the White House furniture, silverware and china when Bill left office?"

 

Trump:  "That's it !  I almost forgot about that one."

It's the SOLDIER, not the reporter, who gives you freedom of the press..

 

It's the SOLDIER, not the poet, who gives you freedom of speech,,

 

It's the SOLDIER, not the organizer, who allows you to demonstrate...

 

It's the SOLDIER, who salutes the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag !!

As we grow older and wiser we realize that a $300 or $30 watch tells the same time.. 

 

Whether we carry a $300 or $30 handbag/wallet the amount of money inside is the same.

 

Whether we drink a bottle of $300,$30, or $3 wine.... the hangover is the same.

 

Whether we live in a 300 or 3,000 or 30,000 sq. ft. house... the loneliness is the same.

 

Whether we fly first class or economy, the plane reaches its destination and we all arrive at the same time.

 

And we realize that our happiness doesn't come from the material things of this world.

 

Therefore we should realize that when we have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers, sisters, with whom we can chat,laugh, talk, sing etc. That is true happiness !   Smiley Happy

I was sitting at a long stop light yesterday, thinking about what I would do to keep busy during retirement, minding my own business and patiently waiting for the light to change, even though there was no on-coming traffic.

 

An old Nissan full of bearded, young, loud Muslims shouting Anti-American slogans, with a half-burned American flag duct-taped on the trunk of their car, and a "Remember 911" slogan spray painted on the side, stopped next to me.

 

Suddenly they yelled, "ALLAH AKBAR! PRAISE ALLAH! DEATH TO AMERICA" and took off before the light changed.

 

Out of nowhere an 18-wheeler truck came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing everyone in it. For several minutes I sat in my car thinking to myself, "Man that could have been me!"

 

So, today I went out and got a job as a truck driver!     Smiley Wink

Two crocodiles were sitting at the side of the swamp near the lake.

 

The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, "I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me."

 

"We're the same age, we were the same size as kids, I just don't get it."

 

"Well" said the big Croc, "What have you been eating?"

 

"Politicians, same as you." replied the small Croc.

 

"Hmmmm, where do you get them?"

 

"Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Capitol."

 

"Same here... hmmmm How do you catch them?"

 

"Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door."

 

"Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the S--- out of them and eat 'em."

 

"AH!" says the big Crocodile, "I think I see your problem." You're not getting any real nourishment."

 

"See, by the time you finish shaking the s--- out of a politician, there's nothing left but an a-- hole and a briefcase .

A hooker once told me she had a headache...

 

If it weren't for pickpockets , I'd have no sex life at all.

 

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?"

She said, "No, I hate myself now!"

 

I knew a girl so ugly..... they used her in prisons to cure sex offenders.

 

My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen, the roaches hang themselves.

 

I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

WHY WE MISS RODNEY DANGERFIELD 

 

With my old man I got no respect, I asked him "How can I get my kite in the air?"  He told me to run off a cliff...

 

I went to a massage parlor. It was self-service.

 

My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.

 

It's tough enough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass.

 

Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

 

A girl phones me and said, " Come on over. There's nobody home." I went over.  Nobody was home!    Cat Frustrated

What deep thinkers retrired men are.....

 

I pondered an old age question:

 

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

 

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how would they know?

 

Well, after a beer, and some heavy thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

 

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and here is the reason for my conclusion.

 

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "You know, I think I would like to have another child."

 

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

 

I rest my case. Time for another beer, and then maybe a nap in the hammock.

`1   Once all villagers decided to pray for rain.. On the day of prayer all people gathered, but only one little boy brought an umbrella..

 

That's FAITH

 

 

2.  When you throw babies in the air,

they laugh because they know you will catch them.

 

That's TRUST

 

 

3.  Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but we still set the alarm to wake up.

 

That's HOPE

 

 

4.  We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future.

 

That's CONFIDENCE

 

 

5.  We see the world suffering, but still get married and have children.

 

That's LOVE

 

 

6.  On an old man's shirt was written a sentence...

 

"I am not 80 years old, I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience".

 

 

That's ATTITUDE

Just for this morning I will leave the dishes in the sink , and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together...

 

Just for this morning I will step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park to play...

 

Just for this afternoon I will not yell even once , not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by....

 

Just for this afternoon I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles...

 

Just for this evening I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you...

 

Just for this evening I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry...

 

Just for this evening I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count stars...

 

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mother and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in the hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and and screaming inside they can't handle it anymore...

 

When I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day...

 

MICHAEL, BRIAN AND DARREN  I love you with all my heart.  ♥♥♥

We had this great old cat named Jack that died recently..

 

Jack was a great cat and the kids would actually carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered hi. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom.

 

Well we have 3 kids, and at the time of this story, they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves chapstick. LOVES it... He kept asking to use my Chapstick and then losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my Chapstick and how he could sue it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done.

 

Last Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. Mt two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box, I am trying to nurse my little one and at the same time put on my makeup. Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood...

 

We finally have the older one and the baby loaded into the car and I am looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my Chapstick very carefully to Jack's....rear end.  Eli looked right into my eyes and said, "Chapped".. Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right...their little butts do look pretty chapped. And frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind.

 

And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth... 

 

And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your chapstick on the cat's butt.

 

May the wind be at your back, the sun on your face, and the love of God in your heart in your daily life.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.

 

So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave.

 

When re-opening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.

 

Someone would have to sit out in the grave yard all night ( the grave yard shift) to listen for the bell;

 

Thus, someone could be 'saved by the bell' or was considered a 'dead ringer'.

 

Now, whoever said history was boring!!!

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.

 

When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off.

 

It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "Bring home the bacon."

 

They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and 'chew the fat.'

 

Those with money had plates made of pewter.

 

 

Foods with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death.

 

This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

 

Bread was divided according to status...

Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests fo the top, or the 'upper crust.'

 

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey.

 

The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days...

 

Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.

 

They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple od days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait to see if they would wake up.

 

Hence the custom... "Holding a wake."

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt Poor".  The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh ( straw) on the floor to help keep their footing.

 

As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.  Hence, "A thresh hold."

 

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.

 

Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.

 

Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite some time.

 

Hence the rhyme:

 

"Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw piled high, with no wood underneath.

 

It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all cats and other small animals ( mice, bugs) lived in the roof.

 

When it rained, it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof.

 

Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."

 

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.

 

This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed.

 

Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection.

 

That's how canopy beds came into existence.

Here are some facts about the 1500's:

 

 

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May.

 

And they still smelled pretty good by June...However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.

 

Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

 

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.

 

The man of the house had the rpiviledge of nice clean water,

 

Then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children.

 

Last of all the babies.

 

By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it...

 

Hence, the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water !"
