    A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.
    ?Careful,? he said, ?CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You?re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They?re going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you?re cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don?t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! Salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!?
    The wife stared at him. ?What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don?t know how to fry a couple of eggs??
    The husband calmly replied, ?I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I?m driving.

    Wife: Why do you go out in the balcony, when I start singing.
    Husband: Because the people would think I am beating you.

    1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn?t much, but the reception was excellent.

    2. It?s not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn?t have the balls to do it.

    3. There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn?t control his pupils.

    4. The one who invented the door knocker got a No-bell prize.

    5. He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.

    6. Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I?ll show you A-flat minor.

    7. A bicycle can?t stand on its own because it is two-tired.

    8. Some people?s noses and feet are built backwards: their feet smell and their noses run.

    9. Sleeping comes so naturally to me, I could do it with my eyes closed.

    10. What is the difference between a nicely dressed man on a tricycle and a poorly dressed man on a bicycle? A tire.

    A couple was having a discussion about what to see and do now that they were safely in Florida on their honeymoon.
    Trying to assert himself right off the bat, the man exploded, ?If it wasn?t for my money, we wouldn?t be here at all?!
    The wife calmly replied, ?My dear, if it wasn?t for your money, neither would we be in Florida or on a honeymoon, nor would there even be any ?we? in the first place.?

    A Stockbroker walks into the dentist and asks for a quote for getting a tooth pulled out.

    ?Well,? said the dentist, ?That depends on the level of service. If you want to go private we can give you the very best and latest in dental treatment. We get an anesthetist in from the local hospital, and I get two very skilled, and pretty, dental nurses to help out. Guaranteed no pain, no blood.?

    ?Sounds good,? said the man, ?how much??

    ??200 per tooth.?

    ?That?s extortionate!?

    ?Well,? said the dentist, ?We can give you standard NHS treatment. I do the anaesthetic myself ? no nurses. You get a little bit of pain and a little bit of blood, but it?ll only cost you ?20.?

    ?No, that?s still too dear. Can you not do it a bit cheaper??

    ?Tell you what,? said the dentist, getting angry, ?I could get a pair of pliers from B&Q and do a homer for you. No anaesthetic. Guaranteed very painful ? lots of blood. Your mouth will hurt for three months and you?ll struggle to talk for at least two. I?d do it for ?5 and take pleasure in it.?

    ?OK, you got yourself a deal? book my wife in for next Tuesday.?

    A young man at college in want of twenty-five dollars wrote to his uncle as follows:

    ?Dear Uncle.?If you could see how I blush for shame while I am writing, you would pity me. Do you know why? Because I have to ask you for a few dollars, and do not know how to express myself. It is impossible for me to tell you. I prefer to die. I send you this by messenger, who will wait for an answer. Believe me, my dearest uncle, your most obedient and affectionate nephew.

    ?P.S.?Overcome with shame for what I have written, I have been running after the messenger in order to take the letter from him, but I cannot catch him. Heaven grant that something may happen to stop him, or that this letter may get lost.?

    The uncle was naturally touched, but was equal to the emergency. He replied as follows:

    ?My Dear Jack?Console yourself and blush no more. Providence has heard your prayers. The messenger lost your letter. Your affectionate uncle.?

        Good morning Abbers,

        I see some sun trying to break through here, hopefully it will make an appearance

        Mick, how nice to see your child graduate!!!
        Get yourself shined & buffed up properly now & go enjoy the day
        The hurricane twins weren't as bad as usual yesterday, I am grateful :H

        Greetings TT!
        I think it would be a good idea to show those documentaries to teens still in school. They showed us a horrible movie in our driver ed class in high school related to drinking & driving. The images from that movie were harsh & quite realistic, made a lasting impression.

        Greetings to everyone else. I hope we all have a fantastic AF Monday!

            Feelin' good on Monday

            Hi Everyone,
            Yes, I am feeling GREAT today! I did not drink all weekend and haven't since Nov 1st. I am on my way to 30 days and plan to live the rest of my days Sober! yay!!! I am so happy.
            I started drinking when I was a teen (say 13) and have finally 37 years later I am quitting the stuff.
            Over the years, I have had SO many hangovers, bad events, guilt etc. Now I am finally at the point where I really want to quit and am going to. No more trying to moderate, no more struggle. It is quite exciting really
            On the weekend, I swam, played squash, went swimming, went for breakfast (early in the morning!!!). It was amazing to be able to do all these things and be totally clear headed! We had a get together at my friend's and it was no problemo.

            Nice to meet you all- I love your posts.
            Mike- thanks for the humor this am.
            Paulywogg- ya I know, too much money at Christmas. I have to figure something out there myself.
            Pourquoi- Why? Lol, I just had to say that - its -14 here too, -20 with wind chill, freakin cold!
            Treetops- I remember you here from 2006 or maybe 2009 when I was trying to moderate, nice to talk to you again.
            Lavande- nice to meet you.
            Hugs,

                Thanks Lavande!
                I have been sober since Nov 1, 2013. I know this time I am done. I am sooo happy about it because I totally have no desire to drink. When I think about the fact I am not drinking I actually get excited!
                YES!!

                      Welcome aboard Narilly, glad Lav posted as I've been say narrly to myself :H
                      Good job getting to AF Day 18, Nov 30 will be here before you know it.
                      Where about in this great white north are you located? I am in Calgary, AB.

                      Lav...I think I'll just give Narrily all the prizes and not play. :H

                      Pauly...good idea to just stick close to home here. No need to add anymore stress to your life.

                      Home early to await the Lawyer Conference Call...

                        Evening all
                        PQ, blizzard??! How much snow'd you get? It was a balmy day here. I was rather surprised to see 60's.

                        Was a quiet rainy dreary weekend. Farrier, music lesson, and cattle sale this week. I always look forward to my lesson, they are usually pretty fun.

                        Welcome there, Narilly. I too enjoy the sober bus ride, it beats the hell out of the alternative!

                        Det, hope you're over the flu

                          Hi Sam...I only got about 7cm but it really depended on which part of the city you live in. I was one of the lucky ones, some areas got 15cm. Farrier and cattle sales I can relate to but not the music lessons. :H

                              Happy late un-hung Monday ABerooos!

                              still not feeling well yet, but I'm back on the road tomorrow anyway. egad.

                              PPQ, -14 is just too damn cold!

                              Narilly, a hearty welcome to you and kudos on your lifestyle decision. AF is the only way!

                              I'm kind of looking forward to bein on the road tomorrow, even though I despise the hotel lifestyle. I've been cooped up sick in the house and going stir crazy. gotta force myself to go slow and get lots of rest.

                              Sam, I checked out Scottish fiddle on youtube and found it's a really neat sound.

                              well, off to packing

                              be well everyone
