OLD FART PRIDE

By Admin, May 11, 2012 1:11 pm

OLD FART PRIDE

I never really liked the terminology “Old Farts” but this makes
me feel better about it.

And if you ain’t one, I bet ya you know one!

I got this from an “Old Fart” friend of mine!

 

OLD FART PRIDE

I’m passing this on as I did not want to be the only old fart
receiving it. Actually, it’s not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.

  • Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the
    playing of the National Anthem. Old Farts remove their caps and stand at
    attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe
    in them.
  • Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbor , Guadalcanal
    , Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The
    Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus
    Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam .
  • If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will
    apologize. If you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his
    cap to a lady. Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women.
  • Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when
    walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
  • Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of
    women and children and they don’t like any filth or dirty language on TV
    or in movies.
  • Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They
    seldom brag unless it’s about their children or grandchildren.
  • It’s the Old Farts who know our great country is protected,
    not by politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving
    their country.

    This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of
    responsibility, pride in their country and decent values.

    We need them now more than ever.

    Thank God for Old
    Farts!

    Pass this on to all the “Old Farts” you know.

I was taught to respect my elders….It’s just getting harder to find them.

CURTAIN RODS—-Priceless

CURTAIN RODS—-Priceless

She spent the first day
packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she
had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she
sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by
candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of
shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of spring water.

When she had finished,
she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells
dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods.

She then cleaned up the
kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was
bliss for the first few days.

Then slowly, the house
began to smell.

They tried everything;
cleaning, mopping and airing the place out.

Vents were checked for
dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung
everywhere.

Exterminators were
brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a
few days.

And in the end they even
paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.

Nothing worked.!!!

People stopped coming
over to visit.

Repairmen refused to
work in the house.

The maid quit.

Finally, they could not
take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even
though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their
stinky house.

Word got out and
eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, they had to
borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the
man and asked, ‘Oh, how are things going’?

He told her the saga of
the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home
terrible and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for
getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had
no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of
what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that
very day.

She agreed and within
the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and
his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything
to take to their new home……

And to spite the
ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!!!!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING,
DON’T YOU ?!?!?

My Favorite Animal

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried
chicken.”

She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone
else laughed.

My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my
favorite animal.

I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of
PETA.

He said they love animals very much.

I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the
principal’s office.

I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it
again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.

I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you
could make them into fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal’s office. He laughed, and told me not to do
it again.

I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t
like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I
told her, “Colonel Sanders.”

Guess where I am now…

Congress-Monkeys-It’s always been that way

By Admin, June 15, 2011 3:50 pm

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result … all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.  Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.  The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment… with enthusiasm.

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a fourth, then the fifth.  Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs.  Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask?  Because in their minds…that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates… and is why, from time to time, all of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

Could this be true?

INTERESTING OBSERVATION

2 The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.

3 The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.

4 The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.

The higher you go in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls

become.

Flour

By Admin, April 1, 2011 7:08 pm

Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling
Water to see if the corn was ready.   I missed and my hand went
Into the boiling water….
 
A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just
As I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour…I
Pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it.  He said to keep my hand
In the flour for 10 mins. Which I did.  He said that in Vietnam , this guy
Was on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to
Put the fire out…well, it not only put the flour out, but he never even had
A blister!!!!
 
SOOOO, long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins,
Pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolutley NO
PAIN.  Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself,
I use the flour and never ONCE have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a blister!
*cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.

   Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be
Happy you did.  I even burnt my tongue and put the flour on it for about 10 mins.
And the pain was gone and no burn.  Try it!  BTW, don’t run your burn area under
Cold water first, just put it right into the flour for 10 mins and experience a miracle

CATHOLIC SHAMPOO

By Admin, March 24, 2011 6:22 pm

 

 CATHOLIC SHAMPOO

TWO NUNS WERE SHOPPING AT A 7-11  STORE.  AS THEY PASSED  BY THE BEER COOLER, ONE NUN SAID TO THE  OTHER, ” WOULDN’T A NICE COOL  BEER OR TWO TASTE WONDERFUL ON A HOT  SUMMER EVENING?” 

THE SECOND NUN ANSWERED,  “INDEED IT WOULD, SISTER, BUT I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE BUYING BEER, SINCE I AM  CERTAIN IT WOULD CAUSE A SCENE AT THE CHECKOUT STAND.” 
 
“I CAN HANDLE THAT WITHOUT A  PROBLEM” THE OTHER NUN REPLIED, AND SHE  PICKED UP A SIX-PACK AND HEADED FOR THE  CHECK-OUT. 
                                                        
THE CASHIER HAD A SURPRISED LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN THE TWO NUNS ARRIVED WITH A SIX-PACK OF BEER.  “WE  USE BEER FOR WASHING OUR HAIR” THE NUN SAID, “BACK AT OUR NUNNERY, WE CALL IT CATHOLIC SHAMPOO.
 
WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE, THE  CASHIER REACHED UNDER THE COUNTER. PULLED OUT A PACKAGE OF PRETZEL STICKS, AND  PLACED THEM IN THE BAG WITH THE BEER. 
 
HE THEN LOOKED THE NUN STRAIGHT IN THE  EYE, SMILED, AND SAID:  “THE CURLERS ARE ON THE  HOUSE.”

Jury Duty/Social Security Number

By Admin, February 23, 2011 1:40 pm

     I thought this was important enough to pass on to all of you. I believe this could actually be going on. Crooks are very smart out there. We were somehow “scammed” during the holidays–someone got hold of our Discover card number and somehow charged almost $1,000 in gas stations–all on the same day and all in Orlando!! (No, we were not even in Orlando at the time–hadn’t been for several weeks). Luckily Discover called us immediately and cancelled the account. My husband and I were both still in possession of our cards. Discover caught it and there is $0 liability, but it can happen to anyone. How “they” knew our zip code, which you always have to put in, is beyond me. So PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!Subject: Fw: Warning about Jury Duty – please read and pass on 

   
  Pass this on to your grown children. This has been verified by the FBI
(their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your
email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this
call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough
people skip out on their civic duty that a new and ominous kind of fraud has
surfaced.
   
  The caller claims to be a jury DUTY coordinator. If you protest that you
never received a summons for jury duty, the Scammer asks you for your Social
Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information
and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo,
your identity was just stolen.
   
  The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Ohio ,
Oklahoma , Illinois , and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly
insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully
people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system.

   
  The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on
their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

Politicians

By Admin, January 12, 2011 7:22 pm

Five surgeons from big cities were discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.  The first surgeon, from New York , said, “I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”  The second, from Chicago, responded, “Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded.”  The third surgeon, from Dallas , said, “No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”  The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles, chimed in: “I like construction workers best. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.”  But the fifth surgeon, from Washington DC , shut them all up when he observed, “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable.”
