We Must
Stop This immediately! Have you noticed that Stairs are getting steeper.
Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away.. Yesterday I
walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our
street had become! And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader? I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me. I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own refection.........Well, REALLY NOW- even mirrors are not made the way they used to be! Another thing, everyone drives so fast today! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them.. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror. Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling? I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in here! All I can do is pass along this warning: We are under attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED! |

It was October and the Indians on a remote reservation asked
their new Chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a Chief in a modern society he had never been taught
the old secrets. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the
winter was going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared. But being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold," the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter? "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter." The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later the Chief called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?" "Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more
and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winter how can you be
so sure?" the Chief asked. |

Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the church's
morals, kept sticking her nose in the other members' private lives.
Church members were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her
enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She commented to George and others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny; he said nothing. Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house... and left it there all night! |

SIMPLE HOME SOLUTIONS Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget ALL about the toothache. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really
are: |

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.' " The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You got a heart murmur. Be careful.'" |

He didn't like the casserole and he
didn't like my cake,
My biscuits all were very hard, unlike
his mother used to make,
I didn't perk the coffee right and he
didn't like my stew,
I never mended socks the way his mother
used to do,
I pondered for an answer and was looking
for a clue,
Then I turned around and smacked him
like his mother used to do.

Bulletin : Our county reports
that some thief broke into the County Court House and stole all the
commodes from the rest rooms. The Sheriff sez he'd like to be on
the case, but he really has nothing to go on.
I'm a Jailhouse singer.
How do you know it's a banjo player
knocking at your door..? Bravery ~ True bravery is arriving home late after a boy's night out, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and still having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"
Back when my mother-in-law was 62 she
started walking 3 miles a day. She'd be 74 today and we have no
idea where she is. |

Ask Yourself This:
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?
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!
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?
Why do women always ask questions that have no
right answers?
How come we never hear any father-in-law jokes?
