For the preachers in your life... Death by Powerpoint


To Daniel, who got new glasses, making his son cry.

A blonde went to an eye doctor to have her eyes checked for glasses.

The doctor directed her to read various letters with the left eye while covering the right eye.

The blonde was so mixed up on which eye was which that the eye doctor, in disgust, took a paper lunch bag with a

hole to see through, covered up the appropriate eye and asked her to read the letters.

As he did so, he noticed the blonde had tears streaming down her face.

"Look," said the doctor, "there's no need to get emotional about getting glasses."

"I know," agreed the blonde,

"But I kind of had my heart set on wire frames."

This is handy, I picked up a few tricks. http://community.tmlewin.co.uk/videos/how-iron-shirt

It's going to be a long lame duck president.

The economy is so bad that: I received a pre-declined credit card in the mail. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Motel 6 won't leave the light on anymore. A picture is now only worth 200 words. They renamed Wall Street "Wal-Mart Street". Finally, I called the suicide hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

My little brother is mentally handicapped. I asked him who he would vote for for president. He said with out hesitation "Reagan".

Jay Leno said politics come from the root word "poli" meaning many, and the suffix "tics" meaning blood suckers.

Lewis Grizzard was Editor for Atlanta newspaper till his passing. He had a great idea. From across this great land choose the most moral the wisest of the population. Put them in office for ONE year, and at the end of that year, look back over their voting record to decide which politicians are allowed to live.

    You left off my favorite one. The economy is so bad that "Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 congressman".

    Good stuff.

    Check your shampoo bottle label.
    I don’t know WHY I didn’t figure this out sooner!
    It's the shampoo I use in the shower!
    When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body and
    (duh!) printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning…
    FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY!
    NO wonder I have been gaining weight!!!
    Well! I have gotten rid of that shampoo and I am going to start using Dawn dish soap instead.
    Their label reads,
    DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.
    Problem solved!!!

    If I don't answer the phone …I'll be in the shower!!!

From Becky Copeland

JOKE: I was eating lunch on the 20th of February with my 7-year-old granddaughter and I asked her, "What day is tomorrow?"

She said "It's President's Day!" She is a smart kid.

I asked "What does President's Day mean?" (waiting for something
...about Washington or Lincoln, etc.)

She said, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the
White House, and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of
unemployment."

You know . . . it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose . . .

    That was great. It's too bad the 7 yr old is too young to run for office.

    The second sentence of your comment was priceless -- I may have to print it out and frame it. I'm afraid I've become a crotchety old lady.

    The mildew smell distrinctly starts at the top of the stairs...and might emanate from the bathroom sink. I need to pick up some vinegar...
    by misssonja at 08/17/11 11:58AM
  • misssonja
    Ah -- I'll check out that possibility! The good news is that I'll eventually be getting rid of both bathroom sinks (assuming my job holds up!).

Did you hear da one about Ole and Lena?

Ole lived across River from Clarence who he didn't like at all.

They all the time were yelling across the river at each other.

Ole would yell to Clarence, "If I had a vay to cross dis river, I'd come over dere an beat you up good, yeah sure ya betcha by golly!"

This went on for years. Finally the state built a bridge across the river right there by their houses.

Ole's wife, Lena, says, "Now is you chance, Ole, vhy don't you go over dere and beat up dat Clarence like you said you vould?"

Ole says, "OK, by yimmy I tink I vill do yust dat" Ole started for the bridge but he sees a sign on the bridge an he stops to read it, then he turns around and comes back home.

Lena asked, "vhy did you come back?"

Ole said, "Lena, I tink I change my mind 'bout beatin' up dat Clarence, you know, dey put a sign on da bridge dat says "Clarence is 13 ft. 6 in." You know, he don't look near dat big vhen I yell at him from across da river"

  • mr_and_mrs_berry
    Yup - that one is real too. But I didn't find it in Wikipedia, just general. I think you should take a picture of that sign sometime!

    Once on a trip we were about to cross a bridge over a river and my wife asked what river that was. I pointed to the sign and said "The Clarence River"......

    Glad I did it. Drinking the gallon really wasn't all that bad. It'll be a long time before I drink anything that taste like lemon lime though!
