A HALLOWEEN TALE
A couple was invited to a swanky costume Party.   She got a terrible headache and told her husband to  go to the party alone.  He being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need of his good time being spoiled by not
going.

So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an  hour,  awakened without pain and,  as it was still early, decided   to go the party.

Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.

She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice chick  he could, and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.  His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he  was her husband.

Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed,  so off they went to one of the cars and had a  little bang.  Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.

She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked what kind of a time he had.  He said: “Oh, the same old thing.  You know I never have a good time when you’re not there.”

“Did you dance much?”

“I’ll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening.  But you’re not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to……..”

 

9 THINGS I HATE ABOUT EVERYONE

 

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time…. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3. When people say ‘Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too’. Damn right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?

4. When people say ‘it’s always the last place you look’. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film ‘did you see that?’ No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask ‘Can I ask you a question?’….Didn’t really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is ‘new and improved!’ Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new.

8. When people say ‘life is short’. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks ‘Has the bus come yet?’. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them.’
 
 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
 
 3 .Keep learning. ! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. ‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’ And the devil’s family name is   Alzheimer’s.
 
4. Enjoy the simple things.
 
 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
 
 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
 
 7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.
 
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
 
 9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
 
 10. Tell the people you love that you love them , at every opportunity.

AND FINALLY

1   * Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some

days you’re the statue  

 

2  * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case

you have to eat them.  

 

3  * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you

die in the middle of it.  

 

4   * Drive carefully.  It’s not only cars that can  be

recalled by their Maker.  

 

5   * If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency

to be vague.  

 

6   * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person

again, it was probably worth it.    

 

7  * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to

serve as a warning to others.  

 

8   * Never buy a car you can’t push.  

 

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,

because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.  

 

10  * Nobody cares if you can’t dance well.  Just get

up and dance.

 

11 * Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the

bird, sleep late.

 

12  * The second mouse gets the cheese.   

 

13 * When everything’s coming your way, you’re in

the wrong lane.  

 

14  * Birthdays are good for you.  The more you have, the

longer you live.  

 

15  * You may be only one person in the world, but you may

also be the world to one person.  

 

16  * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.  

 

17   * We could learn a lot from crayons.  Some are sharp,

some are pretty and some are dull.   Some have weird names

and all are different colors,   but they all have to live

in the same box ..    

 

18   * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the

scenery on a detour.

After the eighty-three year old lady finished her annual physical examination, the doctor said, “You are in fine shape for your age, Mrs. Green, but tell me, do you still have intercourse?”
“Just a minute, I’ll have to ask my husband,” she said. She stepped out into the crowded reception room and yelled out loud:

“Bob, do we still have intercourse?” And there was a hush you could hear a pin drop.

AT THE VET’S

A man runs into the vet’s office carrying his dog A man runs into the vet’s office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.  

The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog’s body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the dog’s body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, “I’m sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too,”  

The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. So the vet brings in a black labrodour retriever. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, “I’m sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too.”  

The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, “$650.”  

“$650 to tell me my dog is dead?” exclaims the man.  

“Well,” the vet replies, “I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab test.”  

MURDER

So, here’s the story. . .  

Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed. A ‘friend of a friend’ put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of  ‘Artie.’ Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000.  

The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn’t have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife’s insurance money.  

Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.  

A few days later, Artie followed the man’s wife to the local Super Wal-Mart store. There, he surprised her in the produce department & proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands & as the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath & slumped to the floor……..  

The manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol’ Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.  

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras & observed by the store’s security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught & arrested before he could even leave the store.  

Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.

 The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared ..

 ‘ARTIE CHOKES 2 for $1.00 AT WAL-MART!’

 

 

REALLY WEIRD HELPFUL HINTS

A sealed envelope – Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a Knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.  (hmmm…) ================================== Use empty toilet paper rolls to store appliance cords. It keeps them Neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to. ================================== For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won’t refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!) ================================== To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out. ================================== Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!). ================================== Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt blue!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel. ================================== Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get ’sharpened” this way! ================================== Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time! (Now, where to put the body?)

TRIP TO THE LUMBER YARD

You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house mowing the lawn, putting a new fence in, painting the living room, or whatever. You are hot and sweaty, covered in dirt or paint.  You have your old work clothes on.  You know the outfit – shorts with the hole in crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who knows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes.

Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize! you need to run to Home Depot to get something to help complete the job.

Depending on your age you might do the following:

In your 20’s:
Stop what you are doing.  Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes.  Check yourself in the mirror and flex.  Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane.  And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register..

In your 30’s:
Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt.  Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else.  Wash your hands and comb your hair.  Check yourself in the mirror.  Still got it.  Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell.  The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with.

In your 40’s:
Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts.  Put on different  shoes and a hat. Wash your hands.  Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don’t want to waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot.  Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing.  The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter’s age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.

In your 50’s:
Stop what you are doing.  Put a hat on, wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt.  Change shoes because you don’t want to get dog doo-doo in your new sports car.  Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat  The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it.  Then you remember the hat you have on is from Buddy’s Bait & Beer Bar and it says, ‘I Got   Worms .’

In your 60’s:
Stop what you are doing.  No need for a hat anymore.  Hose the dog doo-doo off your shoes.  The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50’s.   You hope you have on underwear, so nothing hangs out that hole in your pants.  The girl running the register may be cute, but you don’t  have your glasses on so you’re not sure.

In your 70’s:
Stop what you are doing.  Wait to go to Home Depot until the drug store has your prescriptions ready, too.  Don’t even notice the dog  doo-doo on your shoes. The young thing at the register smiles at you because you remind her of her grandfather.

In your 80’s:
Stop what you are doing.  Start again.  Then stop again.  Now you remember you needed to go to Home Depot.  Go to   Wal Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name.   You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door.

“Understanding Women”

MEN/WOMEN

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, “Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”
 
The biker pulled over and said, ‘Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.’

The Lord said, ‘Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.’

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, ‘Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, why she snaps and complains when I try to help, and how I can make a woman truly happy.’

The Lord replied, ‘You want two lanes or four on that bridge?

Oreo Personality Test

 Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreos:

 1. The whole thing all at once.

2. One bite at a time.

3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterward.

4. In little feverous nibbles.

5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee…).

6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.

7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.

8. Just the cookie, not the inside.

9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.

10. I don’t have a favorite way because I don’t like Oreo. 

Your Personality: 

1. The whole thing. This means you consume life with abandon, you are fun to be with, exciting, carefree with some hint of recklessness. You are totally irresponsible. No one should trust you with their children. 

2. One bite at a time. You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other people who eat their Oreos this very same way. Just like them, you lack imagination, but that’s okay, not to worry, you’re normal. 

3. Slow and methodical. You follow the rules. You’re very tidy and orderly. You’re very meticulous in every detail with every thing you do to the point of being anal retentive and irritating to others. Stay out of the fast lane if you’re only going to go the speed limit. 

4. Feverous nibbles. Your boss likes you because you get your work done quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to do them. Mental breakdowns and suicides run in your family. Valium and Ritalin would do you good. 

5. Dunked. Every one likes you because you are always up beat. You like to sugar coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good ones. You are in total denial about the shambles you call a life. You have a propensity towards narcotic addiction. 

6. Twisted apart, the inside, and then the cookie. You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, though not always able to put them back together, so you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if not criminal, behavior. 

7. Twisted apart, the inside, and then toss the cookie. You are good at business and take risk that pay off. You take what you want and throw the rest away. You are greedy, selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You should be ashamed of yourself. But that’s ok, you don’t care, you got yours. 

8. Just the cookie, not the inside. You enjoy pain. 

9. I just like to lick them, not eat them. Stay away from small furry animals and seek professional medical help – immediately. 

10. I don’t have a favorite way, I don’t like Oreo cookies. You probably come from a rich family, and like to wear nice things, and go to up-scale restaurants. You are particular and fussy about the things you buy, own, and wear. Things have to be just right. You like to be pampered. You are a prim. Nobody likes you.
