LAUGHTER DOES GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE

 

PACHYDERM POWDER

There was an old man in France who used to get up every morning at five A.M. He would then go and sprinkle a white powder on the roads. When he was asked what he was sprinkling on the roads, he answered that it was elephant powder. The person then remarked "But everybody knows that there are no elephants in France!" to which he answered "I guess it must be working then!"

THE TEST

Don't look at the bottom of the page, because if you did, the test would be no fun. I promise, there are no tricks to the test. Read this sentence ONCE: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back to count them again.

See...Answer below:

ANSWER:

There are six F's in the sentence.

A person of average intelligence finds three of them.

If you spotted four, you're above average.I f you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody.

If you caught six, you are a genius.

There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"s. The human brain Tends to see them as V's and not F's. Pretty weird, huh?

Pass this on to anyone you feel would enjoy this.

EDUMACATION

A mother was reading a book about animals to her 3 year old daughter

Mother: "What does the cow say?"
Child: "Moooo!"
Mother: "Great! What does the cat say?"
Child: "Meow."
Mother: "Oh, you're so smart! What does the frog say?"
The wide-eyed little three-year-old looked up at her mother and replied, "Bud."

SUNBATHING

Joan spent almost all of her vacation sunbathing on the roof of her hotel. She wore a bathing suit the first day, but on the second, she decided that no one could see her way up there, and she slipped out of it for an overall tan. She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running up the stairs. She was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear. "Excuse me, miss," said the flustered assistant manager of the hotel, out of breath from running up four flights of stairs. "The Hilton doesn't mind your sunbathing on the roof, but we would very much appreciate your wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday." "What difference does it make?" Joan asked rather calmly. "No one can see me up here, and besides, I'm covered with a towel." "Not exactly," said the embarrassed man. "You're lying on the dining room skylight."

GENIE

A man is walking down the beach and comes across an old bottle. He picks it up, pulls out the cork and out pops a genie. The genie says "Thank you for freeing me from the bottle. In return I will grant you three wishes." The man says "Great. I always dreamed of this and I know exactly what I want. First, I want 1 Billion dollars in a Swiss bank account." Phoof! There is a flash of light and a piece of paper with account numbers appears in his hand.  He continues, "Next, I want a brand new red Ferrari right here." Phoof! There is a flash of light and a bright red brand-new Ferrari appears right next to him. He continues, "Finally, I want to be irresistible to women." Phoof! There is a flash of light and he turns into a box of chocolates.

CYCLONE

A Kansas cyclone hit a farmhouse just before dawn one morning. It lifted the roof off, picked up the beds on which the farmer and his wife slept, and sent them down gently in the next county. The wife began to cry. "Don't be scared, Mary," her husband said. "We're not hurt." Mary continued to cry. "I'm not scared," she responded between sobs. "I'm happy  cause this is the first time in 14 years we've been out together."

CANNIBALS

Two cannibals meet one day. The first cannibal says, "You know, I just can't seem to get a tender Missionary. I've baked them, I've roasted them, I've stewed them, I've barbecued them, I've tried every sort of marinade. I just cannot seem to get them tender." The second cannibal asks, "What kind of Missionary do you use?" The other replied, "You know, the ones that hang out at that place at the bend of the river. They have those brown cloaks with a rope around the waist and they're sort of bald on top with a funny ring of hair on their heads." "Ah, ha!" the second cannibal replies. "No wonder ... those are friars!"

WAKE UP CALL

Following an especially heated argument, Mr. and Mrs. Smith went to bed not speaking to each other. Needing to arise early the following morning for a special appointment, Mr. Smith left a note on his wife's bedside table that said, "Wake me at six." An exasperated Mr. Smith awoke at ten the following morning and rolled stiffly out of bed to see a note on his bedside table: "It's six, you bum! Get out of bed!"

DA BUNNY

A family was on vacation in the forest one summer and accidentally ran over an hare. The father got out and told everyone it was done for. But upon seeing the teary eyes of his two little ones he attempted to resuscitate the animal. With no luck he asked his wife for some spray, any spray in hope of placating his kids. He sprayed it on thickly and briskly when suddenly the bunny jumped up and started waving it's left paw. Then just as quickly it hopped off into the woods still waving it's paw. The whole family looked on with amazement. The wife finally asked, "What was in that can"? The husband replied, "It says hair restorer with permanment wave."

DMV

After spending 5-1/2 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks and insane regulations at the Department of Motor Vehicles, I stopped at toy store to pick up a gift for my son. I brought my selection - a baseball bat - to the cash register. "Cash or charge?" the clerk asked. "Cash," I snapped. Then apologizing for my rudeness, I explained, "I've spent the afternoon at the DMV." "Shall I gift wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly. "Or are you going back there?"

MARRIAGE

One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, the townspeople were in church, listening to the organ play.  Suddenly, a black rolled in and Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon everyone was evacuated from the Church, except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. 

Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?" The man replied, "Yep, sure do." Satan asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?" "Nope, sure ain't," said the man.

Satan was more than a little perturbed at this and queried, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?" The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years!"

TEACH A MAN TO FISH -- TAKE ONE

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will go out and buy expensive fishing equipment, stupid looking clothes, a sports utility vehicle, travel 1,000 miles to the "hottest" fishing hole, and stand waist deep in cold water just so he can outsmart a fish.
(Average cost per fish: $395.68)

TEACH A MAN TO FISH -- TAKE TWO

Teach a man to fish and you have helped him survive another day.

JOY AND PAIN

A mother and a daughter are shopping in the mall, when the mother eyes an expensive fur coat. "This year," she says, "I think that I will buy my present instead of making you and dad shop for me."

• Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
• It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
• Being old referred to anyone over 10.

POLLY WANTS A CRACKER

A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.  The parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, the lady is furious!  She stormed past the store to her work. On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly."  She was incredibly ticked now.  The next day the same parrot again said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would buy the store and kill the bird.  The store manager replied profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn't say it again. When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, "Hey lady." She paused and said, "Yes?" The bird said, "You know."

BLESS THIS FOOD

An atheist is swimming in the ocean. All of a sudden he sees a shark in the water, so he starts wimming towards his boat.  As he looks back he sees the shark turn and head towards him. His boat is a ways off and he starts swimming like crazy. He's scared to death, and as he turns to see the jaws of  the great white beast open, revealing its teeth in a horrific splendor, the atheist screams,"Oh God!  Save me!"

In an instant time is frozen and a bright light shines down from above. The man is motionless in the water when he hears the voice of God say, "You are an atheist.  Why do you call upon me when you do not believe in me?" Aghast with confusion and knowing he can't lie the man replies, "Well, that's true I don't believe in you, but how about the shark? Can you make the shark believe in you?" The Lord replies, "As you wish," and the light retracted back into the heavens and the man could feel the water begin to move once again. As the atheist looks back he can see the jaws of the shark start to close down on him, when all of sudden the shark stops and pulls back. Shocked, the man looks at the shark as the huge beast closes its eyes and bows its head and says, "Thank you Lord for this food for which I am about to receive..."

HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH

• My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60.  She's 97 now, and we don't know where the heck she is.

• I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

• I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.
• The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.

THAT DARN CAT

Lucky, a famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a double take. He knows that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars. The store owner replies "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale. The collector says "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for that cat." And the owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat. The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish." And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold sixty-eight cats."

FLY BOYS

Airlines One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get under way. The pilot and co-pilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind. The pilot, using a white cane, is bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The co-pilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses.

At first the passengers don't react, thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. However, after a few minutes the engines start revving and the airplane starts moving. The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately to the stewardesses for re-assurance. Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly down the runway and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and  as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the  voices are becoming more and more hysterical.

Finally, when the airplane has less than 20 feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne. Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream, and we're gonna get killed!"

GETTING OLD?

• Remember, old folks are worth a fortune, with silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet, and gas in their stomachs.
• You're getting old when you don't care where your wife goes, just so long as you don't have to go along to.
• You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.
• It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.
• You're getting old when getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.

FAIRY TALES

A little girl asked her father, "Daddy? Do all fairy tales begin with 'Once Upon A Time'?" He replied, "No honey, there are a whole series of fairy tales that begin with 'If elected I promise'."

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HILLBILLY WHEN.......

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and stops to entertain at a bar in a small town. He's going through his usual stupid Redneck jokes, when a big burly guy in the audience stands up and says "I've heard just about enough of your smart mouth hillbilly jokes; we ain't all stupid around here."

Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to apologize, when the big guy pipes up," You stay out of this mister, I'm talking to the smart mouth little fella on your knee!"

Quick Wit:

"Flight 1234," the control tower advised, "turn right 45 degrees for noise abatement."
"Roger," the pilot responded, "but we're at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
"Sir," the radar man replied, "have you ever heard the noise a 727 makes when it hits a 747?"

THREE AMIGOS

There were three guys talking in the pub. Two of them are talking about the amount of control they have over their wives, while the third remains quiet.  After a while one of the first two turns to the third and says, "Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?"   The third fellow says "I'll tell you. Just the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees."

The first two guys were amazed. "What happened then?" they asked. "She said, 'get out from under the bed and fight like a man'."

BIKERS

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man and pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man and spit into the old man's milk, and then he took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man and turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

THREE WISHES

A recently divorced woman is walking along the beach contemplating how badly screwed she got over the divorce settlement, when she spies a magic lamp washing up onshore. She rubs the lamp, and out pops a magical genie!! The genie notices her anger and lets her vent her troubles to him. As a consolation, the genie informs that he will grant her three wishes. But, he cautions her that because he does not believe in divorce, he will give her ex-husband ten times the amount of whatever she wishes. The woman is furious, thinking that this is hardly fair, but she makes her first wish.

The first wish was for a billion dollars. The genie claps three times and grants her wish. She instantly finds herself sitting in a pile of one billion one-dollar bills. The genie then reminds her that her husband is now the recipient of 10 billion dollars. The woman can barely contain her anger as she comtemplates her second wish.

The second wish was for a beautiful mansion on the shore of her own private beach. In an instant it was granted, but the genie then reminds again that her ex-husband now owns ten times that of what she wished for, and points out the beach development with ten such mansions. Upon hearing this, the woman turns purple with rage. She takes her time to contemplate her last wish. Just as the genie was about to give up on her, the woman informs the genie that she wants to make the last wish. But, before she can do this, the genie again warns her that her ex-husband will get ten times what she wishes for.

No problem, said the woman as she grinned in ecstasy. For my last wish... "Id like to give birth to twins".

VISITORS

A new pastor moved into town and went out one Saturday to visit his parishioners. All went well until he came to one house. It was obvious that someone was home, but no one came to the door even after he had knocked several times. Finally, he took out his card and wrote on the back: Revelation 3:20 and stuck it in the door.

Revelation 3:20 reads: "Behold I stand at the door and knock.  If any man hear my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me."

The next day, as he was counting the offering he found his card in the collection plate. Below his message was the notation Genesis 3:10.

Genesis 3:10 reads: "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
afraid, because I was naked."

BARGAINS GALLORE

Mr K. confided in his friend Artie about his suspicions that his wife is unfaithful to him. Artie, sensing his friends pain, volunteered to solved the mystery for Mr. K.

Mr. K offered to pay him for his time but Artie would only take a dollar for good luck.

The next day he followed Mrs. K to the food market. Upon her exit from the market he saw her being freindly to the bagboy and immediately became enraged. He rushed from his car and began choking Mrs. K to avenge his freind. The bag-boy intervened and tried to halt the altercation, at which point Artie turned on him. The store manager, upon seeing the melee, ran outside to aid the bag-boy. He was immediately attacked and choked.

Finally the police arrived and hauled the livid but loyal freind of Mr. K off to jail. The next day the headlines read, "Artie chokes 3 for a dollar at the local market".

Three couples attending the First Congregational Church decided to join after the Pastor preached a rousing sermon one Sunday morning. At their conseling session the Pastor told them to prepare for baptism the following Sunday and to remain sexually pure until after the baptism.

That Sunday morning the pastor asked them if they had followed his instructions. The first and second couple answered in the affirmative. But the third couple, still newlyweds, lowered their heads in shame. "What happened?" asked the minister. "We'll, Friday she was getting paint off the shelf for the living room. She looked so desireable that I lost control and we did it right there on the floor". Said the husband.

"We'll young man I'm shocked", said the offended cleryman. "Yea?" snorted the young man, "we'll your're not half as shocked as the people at that hardware store".

RUNNING LATE
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.

"But officer!" the man began, "I don't have time for this right now!"

"Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back."

"But officer, I just wanted to say ..."

"And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!"

A few hours later, the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back."

"Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the bridegroom."

OH MY DARLING . . .

The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office.

"What's your name?" he asked the new guy.

"John," the new guy replied.

The manager scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only ... Smith, Jones, Baker ... That's all. I am
to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?"

The new guy sighed, "Darling. My name is John Darling."

"Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . . "

AN ARTIST
An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time. "I have good news and bad news," the owner replied. "The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death."

"When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings."

"That's wonderful," the artist exclaimed.

"What's the bad news?"

"The guy was your doctor..."

TITANIC
There are many stories related to the sinking of the "Titanic". Some have just come to light due to the success of the recent movie. For example, most people don't know that back in 1912 Hellman's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. The "Titanic" was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after New York City. The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate at the loss. So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today.  It is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

FIH AND CHIPS
Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat, contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her elegant castle.

The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: "Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am, and then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

That night, the beautiful princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and shallot cream sauce.

DR. SUESS EXPLAIN WHY COMPUTERS CRASH
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last  resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to  report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a  dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in  the trash,
And your data is corrupted because the index  doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless and your system's  gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your  house,
Says the network is connected to the button on  your mouse,
But your packet wants to tunnel onto another  protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down  the hall,

And your screen is all distorted by the side  effect of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a  souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a  bang,
Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the program's gonna  hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on  the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary  risk,
Then you'll have to flash your memory, and  you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to  cry "mom"!
