Amish Elevator

   

    A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall.  They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.  The boy asked, 'What is this, Father?'

    The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."  While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button.  The walls opened, and the lady strolled between them into a small room.  The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.

    They continued to watch until it reached the last number... and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.

    Finally, the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, 24-year-old blonde stepped out.  The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son.....

    "Go get your Mother"

SERENITY



Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied...
'Two years older than me'
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented..
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?






Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:
'And what do you think is the best thing
about being 104?' the reporter asked..
She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'






The nice thing about being senile is
you can hide your own Easter eggs

and have fun finding them.






I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes.
I'm half blind,
can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation;
hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.






I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
so I got my doctor's permission to
join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But,
by the time I got my leotards on,
the class was over.






An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and
told her preacher she had two final requests.
First, she wanted to be cremated, and second,
she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.
'Wal-Mart?' the preacher exclaimed.
'Why Wal-Mart?'
'Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week'






My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.






Know how to prevent sagging?
Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.






It's scary when you start making the same noises
as your coffee maker.



These days about half the stuff
in my shopping cart says,
'For fast relief.'

Why did the chicken cross the road?

      
BARACK OBAMA:  The chicken crossed the road because it was time for change!  The chicken wanted change!
      
JOHN MC CAIN:  My friends that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
      
HILLARY CLINTON:  When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
      
GEORGE W. BUSH:  We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not.  The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
      
DICK CHENEY:  Where's my gun?

COLIN POWELL:  Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
      
BILL CLINTON:  I did not cross the road with that chicken.
      
AL GORE:  I invented the chicken.


SARAH PALIN:  The chicken crossed the road because gosh-darn it, he's a maverick!

    
JOHN KERRY:  Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
      
AL SHARPTON:  Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
      
DR. PHIL:  The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
      
OPRAH:  Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
      
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN:  We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
      
NANCY GRACE:  That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
      
PAT BUCHANAN:  To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
      
MARTHA STEWART:  No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
      
DR SEUSS:  Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
      
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:  To die in the rain, alone.
      
JERRY FALWELL:  Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, That chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
      
GRANDPA:  In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
      
BARBARA WALTERS:  Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish it's lifelong dream of crossing the road.
             
JOHN LENNON:  Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
      
BILL GATES:  I have just released eChicken2011, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2011.  This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot.
      
ALBERT EINSTEIN:  Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
      
COLONEL SANDERS:  Did I miss one?



ARISTOTLE:  It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

Cold Winter inUtah



I  just got off the phone with a friend in  Utah.

She said  that since early this  morning the  snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The  temperature is dropping below zero and the freezing wind is  increasing.  Her husband has done nothing but  look through the kitchen window. She says that if it gets much  worse, she may have to letlhim  in.

3 Ways to Fail Drunk Test

Ten Best Quotes from Golf Caddy

#10 Golfer: "Think  I'm going to drown myself in the lake."
Caddy: "Think you  can keep your head down that long?"

#9 Golfer: "I'd move heaven  and earth to break 100 on this course."
Caddy: "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth."

#8 Golfer: "Do you think my game is improving?"
Caddy: "Yes, you miss the ball much closer now."

#7 Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"
Caddy: "Eventually."

#6 Golfer: "You've got to be the worst caddy in the world."
Caddy: "I don't think so.  That would be too much of a Coincidence."

#5 Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the time.  It's too much of a distraction."
Caddy: "It's not a watch.  It's a compass."

#4 Golfer: "How do you like my game?"
Caddy: "Very good, but personally, I prefer golf."

#3 Golfer: "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?
Caddy: "The way you play, it's a sin on any day."

#2 Golfer: "This is the worst course I've ever played on."
Caddy: "This isn't the golf course.  We left that an hour ago."

#1 Best Caddy Comment: Golfer:  "That can't be my ball.  It's too old."
Caddy: "It's been a long time since we teed off, sir."

And the old favorite, is the one about the Golfer who has been slicing off the tee at every hole.  He finally gives up and asks his long suffering caddy if he has seen any obvious problems to which the caddy replies.  "There's a piece of shit on the end of your club."  The Golfer picks his club up and cleans the club face at which point the caddy says "No, the other end".

Iranian Air Space

In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give the Iranian Air Defense
Radar (military) a ten minute 'heads up' if they will be transiting Iranian airspace.

The following conversation was heard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz.







Iranian Air Defences Radar:  'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'
 

Aircraft:  'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
 

Air Defence Radar:  'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'
 

Aircraft:  'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait.'
 

Air Defense Radar:  (total silence)

National Weather Service



It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked
their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.


Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught
the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the
winter was going to be like.


Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the
winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village
should collect firewood to be prepared.


But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea.
He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked,
'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'


'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the
meteorologist at the weather service responded.


So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even
more firewood in order to be prepared.


A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does
it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'


'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's
going to be a very cold winter.'


The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect
every scrap of firewood they could find.


Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service
again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very
cold?'


'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it
is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'


'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.


The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a shitload of
firewood.
