    Teacher: Why are you late, Joseph?
    Joseph: Because of a sign down the road.
    Teacher: What does a sign have to do with your being late?
    Joseph: The sign said, ?School Ahead, Go Slow!?

    In a psychiatrist?s waiting room two patients are having a conversation. One says to the other, ?Why are you here??
    The second answers, ?I?m Napoleon, so the doctor told me to come here.?
    The first is curious and asks, ?How do you know that you?re Napoleon??
    The second responds, ?God told me I was.?
    At this point, a patient on the other side of the room shouts, ?NO I DIDN?T!?

    So?after Adam was created, there he was in the Garden of Eden. Of course it wasn?t good for hime to be all by himself, so the Lord came down to visit.
    ?Adam,? He said, ?I have a plan to make you much, much happier. I?m going to give you a companion, a helpmate for you, someone who will fulfill your every need and desire. Someone who will be faithful, loving, and obedient. Someone who will make you feel wonderful every day of your life.?
    Adam was stunned. ?That sounds incredible.?
    ?Well, it is,? replied the Lord. ?But it doesn?t come for free. In fact this is someone so special that it?s going to cost and arm and a leg.?
    ?That?s a pretty high price to pay,? said Adam. ?What can I get for a rib??

    Wise Women


    What would have happened if it had been three Wise Women instead of three Wise Men?
    They would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts.
    But what would they have said when they left ??
    Scroll down ?
    ?Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that gown??
    ?That baby doesn?t look anything like Joseph!?
    ?Can you believe that they let all of those disgusting animals in there!?
    ?I heard that Joseph isn?t even working right now!?
    ?And that donkey that they are riding has seen better days too!?
    ?Want to bet on how long it will take until you get your casserole dish back??

    Apparently the computer giant IBM decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept three defective parts per 10,000.
    When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter. ?We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices. But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment. Hope this pleases you.?

    Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to be excused because she didn?t believe in capital punishment and didn?t want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial from running its proper course.
    But the public defender liked her thoughtfulness, and tried to convince her that she was appropriate to serve on the jury.
    ?Madam,? he explained, ?this is not a murder trial! It?s a simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband because he gambled away the $12,000 he had promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday.?
    ?Well, okay,? agreed Mrs. Hunter, ?I?ll serve. I guess I could be wrong about capital punishment after all.?

    An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death?s agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With labored breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen.
    Were it not for death?s agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven: there, spread out upon racks on the kitchen table and counters were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.
    Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted ? the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.
    ?Stay out of those,? she said. ?They?re for the funeral.?

    An elderly couple was on a cruise and it was really stormy. They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the old woman overboard. They searched for days and couldn?t find her, so the captain sent the old man back to shore with the promise that he would notify him as soon as they found something.
    Three weeks went by and finally the old man got a fax from the boat. It read: ?Sir, sorry to inform you, we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up to the deck and attached to her butt was an oyster and it had a pearl worth $50,000 ?..please advise?
    The old man faxed back: ?Send me the pearl and re-bait the trap?




    ok be honest...how many of you tried it? I did!!!

    Jumping in here to say hi to everyone. Been busy and still am - so no long post from me tonight. Its good to see another face - so welcome again UK Blonde - no I am not blonde (but used to get that from the bottle - not the AL bottle but the bleach one :H) and I am most definitely not an Australian. Shock horror:help! (Mick help me here!).
    No Blondie is a lovely Abster who lives in Perth.

    We are pretty daft on this thread but very serious about being AF. We are also a global community (as alkies are). The Americans wake up and post at different times because of their complicated time zones. I think Det is the last to go to bed and see out the day. I am usually the first to see the new day in.

          Can someone give me a history lesson, I know several colonies were set up in Australia, at least one of which populated by the poor sods we sent over on prison ships. How did NZ receive it's colonial population?

              Good morning Abbers & Happy Hump Day

              It's overcast again today (what's new) & rain on the way later (what's new?) :H

              Greetings TT, Mick, Ukblonde, NS & everyone!

              I'm changing up my routine today & running out for an appointment which means I'm running away from extreme child care for a few hours - yay!

              Wishing everyone a great AF Wednesday!

                MAE all! Welcome UK Blonde! I like to think we are a great crew. Congrats on your AF days.

                Just another day here. I'm doing more of the cleaning up and putting away to get Maddie settled. She now has a long commute and is gone over 12 hours a day, so any minor resentment I feel is more than offset by the relief at slowly getting things into place and sorted.

                I'm glad that you are looking after your arm, Mick. You sure sound like a handy guy to have around. I have a few projects that need doing....... You got me on all of the fun facts. Duh!

                Hi TT and NoSugar!

                I hope you enjoy your "me" time before plunging into childcare, Lav.

                Have a great day friends.

                :l

                    Hi Abbers

                    Getting stuck into studies and got 4 assignments due - 2 when on holidays and 2 the day I come back, so I am keeping my head down for a few weeks; they say about 7 hours a day required to get through workload. I'll never get anything done - perhaps get round to vacuuming in November :H

                    Haven't read back so hope everyone is cruising along.

                    Big hugs and smooches from August :hiya:

                      Mick....yes it's about the quality of sleep. I really don't know what to do.... it will pass. But of course I am sure it's a brain tumor:H

                      Glad everyone is doing well. Life gets so much better. My life was shit 3 years ago due to the economy....the drinking only made me feel worse. Today I realized how good life had gotten in spite of myself....due to drinking....I really didn't notice it had gotten better quite some time ago. The only thing that stayed shitty....was my drinking.

                      Anyways....happy and peaceful on this front.
