Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Hi, Thinking we may need a few chuckles? Hugs, Marilyn ____________________________ OVERDUE A young husband comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his neck and says, " Darling, I have great news. I'm a month overdue. I think we're going to have a baby! The doctor gave me a test today, but we until we find out for sure, we can't tell anybody. " The next day, a guy from the electric company rings the doorbell, because the young couple haven't paid their last bill. " Are you Mrs. Smith? You're a month overdue, you know! " " How do YOU know? " stammers the young woman. " Well, ma'am, it's in our files! " says the man from the electric company. " What are you saying? It's in your files??? " " Absolutely. " " Well, let me talk to my husband about this tonight. " That night, she tells her husband about the visit, and he, mad as a bull, rushes to the electric company offices the first thing the next morning. " What's going on here? You have it on file that my wife is a month overdue? What business is that of yours? " he shouts. " Just calm down, " says the clerk, " it's nothing serious. All you have to do is pay us. " " PAY you? and if I refuse? " " Well, in that case, sir, we'd have no option but to cut you off. " " And what would my wife do then? " the husband asks. " I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a candle. " <blush!> ____________________________ Good Idea... * When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the payment. Let them throw it away. * When you get pre-approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right? * Send an ad for your local dry cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. (I especially liked this!) If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their application back. Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and best of all THEY'RE paying for it . . . Twice! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. Send it back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! Keep our postal service busy, since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again. ____________________ " The best thing for you to do, " said the Doctor after completing an examination, " is to give up drinking and smoking, get up early every morning to jog one mile and go to bed early every night. " " Doctor, said the patient, " somehow I don't feel that I really deserve the best . . . What's the *second* best " ? ________________________________ INSPIRATIONAL: Mud Puddles and Dandelions When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on. When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away. My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back. When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen. My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own. When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing. When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play with. I wish you Mud Puddles and Dandelions! _________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
