I was out walking with my Grandson. He picked up something off the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that.

"Why" my Grandson asked.

"Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs, and sometimes germs make little boys sick and not feel good" I replied.

At this point, my Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."

I was thinking quickly and said to him. "All Grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.

"Oh....I get it!" he beamed. "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa."

"Exactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.

When you're finished laughing, send this to another Grandma!!

So the hunters are strolling through a clearing when they find a large hole. Curious to find out how deep it is, they chuck in a pebble... nothing. So they chuck in a rock... nothing. They look at each other. The scout around and find a really big rock it takes both of them to lift, and they chuck *that* in. Nothing. So they scout around and can't find anything, and they split up, and finally one of'm hollers "I found a railroad tie!" so they chuck THAT in. Nothing. They look at each other. Then along comes a goat, runs up and jumps straight into the hole. They look at each other some more. They decide to just leave, and head off towards the other side of the clearing, when along comes a farmer saying, have you seen a goat around anywhere? And the hunters look at each other and say, well, ma'am, the only goat we saw ran over and jumped into that hole over there. Oh, that couldn't be MY goat, says the farmer. Mine was tied to a railroad tie.

"Funny Court Case"

"Your Honor, I want to bring to your attention how unfair
it is for my client to be accused of theft. He arrived in
New York City a week ago and barely knows his way
around. What's more, he only speaks a few words of
English."

The Judge looked at the defendant and asked, "How
much English can you speak?"

The defendant looked up and said, "Give me your
wallet!"

"Nice Car"

The hotshot executive goes out and buys a Ferrari GTO.
It is the best and most expensive car in the whole world,
costing about $500,000.

He takes it out for a spin, and while he stops it for a red
light, an old man on a Moped (both looking about 90
years old) pulls up next to him. The old man looks over
the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks, "What kind
of car ya got there, sonny?"

The executive replies, "A Ferrari GTO. They cost about a
half million dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man, shocked. "Why
does it cost so much?"

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states
the cool guy proudly.

The moped driver asks, "Can I take a look inside?"

"Sure," replies the owner.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks
around. Leaning back on his Moped, the old man says,
"That's a pretty nice car, all right!"

Just then, the light changes so the guy decides to show
the old man what his car can do. He floors it, gets on
Interstate 66, and within 30 seconds the speedometer
reads 320 mph.

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems
to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could
be and suddenly, whhhoooossshhhh! Something whips by
him, going much faster! "What on earth could be going
faster than my Ferrari?" the young man asks himself. Then
ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him.
Whooooooosh! It goes by again, heading the opposite
direction! And it almost looked like the old man on the
Moped. "Couldn't be," thinks the guy. "How could a Moped
outrun a Ferrari?" Again, he sees the dot in his rear view
mirror, getting bigger!

Whooooooosh! Ka-BbblaMMM! It plows into the back of
his car, demolishing the rear end. The executive jumps out,
and it IS the old man! Of course, the Moped and the old
man are hurting' bad. He runs up to the old man and says,
"You're hurt badly! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man moans and replies, "Yes..... Unhook my
suspenders from your side view mirror!"

"Bachelor Cooks"

Two confirmed bachelors sat talking, and their
conversation drifted from politics to cooking.

"I got a cookbook once," said one, "but I
could never do anything with it."

"Too much fancy work in it, eh?" asked the
other.

"You said it. Every one of the recipes began the
same way: 'Take a clean dish...'"

"Just Double It"

Mr. & Mrs. Smith have been back from their honeymoon
for two weeks when Mr. Smith comes home from work
and says that he has invited four of his friends from the office
home for dinner on Friday night.

The Mrs. is a bit apprehensive, and asks if she must
cook a meal for the four.

Mister explains that there will be eight coming because
each will bring his wife or a date. Since this is their
first party, Mister consoles her by saying that all she
has to do is get some Chinese food in, and perhaps she
can bake a cake.

This sounds like a good idea, and they sit down and
decide what Chinese food to get.

Friday morning wife calls the office in tears. She
explains that the only cake recipe she has will only
feed six.

Hubby says, "Why don't you just double the recipe?" She
decides that is a good idea.

At four, hubby gets another phone call -- this time
quite frantic.

"I just can't do it," wifey weeps. "It's impossible."

"Now, now, what's the matter?"

"Well, their recipe calls for two eggs..."

"So, you use FOUR eggs. Don't you have them?"

"Yes. And then it needs four cups of flour."

"Well," hubby says rather testily, "you will have to
use eight cups of flour. What's the problem?"

"It isn't the ingredients," wife sobs. "It says that
the cake must be baked at 350 degrees, and I have
checked the oven and I can't turn the heat up to
700 degrees!"

Woops - too quick on the draw....

A grade three teacher is giving a lesson on nutrition, and she decides to ask her students what they had for breakfast.
To add a spelling component, she asks the students to also spell their answers.
Susan puts up her hand and says she had an egg,   'E-G-G'.
'Very good', says the teacher.
Peter says he had toast 'T-O-A-S-T'.
'Excellent.'
Johnny has his hand up and the teacher reluctantly calls on him.
'I had bugger all', he says, ' B-U-G-G-E-R-A-L-L'.
The teacher is mortified and scolds Johnny for his rude   answer.

Later when the lesson turns to geography, she asks the students some rudimentary questions.
Susan correctly identifies the Capital of Canada. Peter is able to tell her which ocean is off Canada 's east coast.


When it's Johnny's turn, the teacher remembers his rude answer from the nutrition lesson, and decides to give him a very difficult question.
Johnny, she asks, 'Where is the Pakistani border?'
Johnny ponders the question and finally says, 'The Pakistani boarder is in bed with my mother.
That's why I got bugger all for breakfast'.

"Jose And Carlos"

Jose and Carlos are panhandlers. They panhandle
on different areas of town.

Carlos panhandles just as long as Jose but only
collects 2 to 3 dollars every day.

Jose brings home a suitcase FULL of $10 bills,
drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage free house
and has a lot of money to spend.

Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard
as you do, but how do you bring home a suitcase
full of $10 bills every day?"

Jose says, "Look at your sign; what does it say?"

Carlos sign reads, "I have no work, a wife and 6
kids to support."

Jose says, "No wonder you only get $2-3 dollars."

Carlos says, "So what does your sign say?"

Jose shows Carlos his sign......

It reads, "I only need another $10.00 to move back
to Mexico."

A man walked into a piano bar to audition to be the new piano player they were advertising for. He told them he played all original songs. After playing the first one the bar owner was amazed and LOVED the song. "What do you call that one?" he asked. The piano player said, "I call that one, "You have beautiful tits and I'd love to squeeze em". The bar owner was dissappointed in the name because it was a family place so he asked for another. He liked this song just as much and asked the name. The piano player told him it was called "I like to do it doggie style, how about you?". He was unsure about the whole thing but he made the piano player agree not to announce the names of the songs. So, the first night comes and the guy is a huge hit, the entire place loves him. During his first break he uses the mens room but forgets to zip up his fly. The bartender calls to him and says, "hey Buddy, do you know your fly is down and your weiner is hanging out?" The piano player responds, "Know it? I wrote it!!!"

Made a puddle.

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much as I do.

With tootsie rolls.

Feet, I rip a big one.

"Divorce Whisperer"

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding
her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the
grounds for your divorce?"

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little
home in the middle of the property with a stream
running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of
this case?"

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she
responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations
like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town,
and so do my husband's parents."

He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport
and have never really needed one."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in
your marriage?"

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets.
We don't necessarily like the music, but the
answer to your questions is yes."

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he
gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady,
why do you want a divorce?"

"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've
never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He
said he can't communicate with me."

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the
greatest political sages this country has ever known.

Enjoy the following:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.
Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it
and put it back into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then
to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.


ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying
about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way.
I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,
think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it's such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,
it was called witchcraft.
Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE

Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul,Afghanistan , several years before the Afghan conflict.

She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.

Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem happy to maintain the old custom.

Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked,

'Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?'

The woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said,





"Land mines."







Moral of the story is (no matter what language you speak or where you go):

Marketing Explained, for Women

The buzz word in today's business world is marketing. However, people often ask for a simple explanation of the concept.

Well, here it is -- everything you need to know about marketing.

You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says, "She's fantastic in bed."

That's Advertising.

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Telemarketing.

You see a guy at a party, you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I?" and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed."

That's Brand Recognition.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.

That's a Sales Representative.

Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.

That's Tech Support.

You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"

That's Spam.

"Lightning"

A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though
the weather that morning was questionable and
clouds were forming, she made her daily trip to
school.

As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up,
along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the
little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be
frightened as she walked home from school, and she
herself feared the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming
sword would cut through the sky. Full of concern, the
mother quickly got in her car and drove along the
route to her child's school.

As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but
at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look
up and smile.

Another and another were to follow quickly, each
with the little girl stopping, looking up and smiling.
Finally, the mother called over to her child and asked,
"What are you doing?"

The child answered, "Smiling! God just keeps taking
pictures of me."

Some days you're the dog, some days the hydrant.

A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"

He replied, "They had eggs."

[My wife] never allows my words [when we play Scrabble]. She keeps saying there's no such word. Stiffles creativity.

Speaking as a male! On one occasion I was in deep conversation with my son while using an ATM. When my card was returned we left and had gone about 10 steps before I realised I hadn't actually taken for the money. We went back immediately but not surprisingly the notes had already evaporated. Anyway, I used an ATM yesterday and noticed that the final screen said

PLEASE TAKE YOUR CARD
AND WAIT FOR YOUR MONEY

Yes, the final line IS in bold! It obviously happens fairly often.
