THAT'S LIFE

LAST UPDATE MAY 24, 2009

CHEEKY! 

   There was a married couple who were in a terrible accident. The woman's face was burned severely. The doctor told the husband they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was so thin. The husband then donated some of his skin.
   However, the only place suitable to the doctor was from his buttocks. The husband requested that no one be told of this, because after all this was a very delicate matter! After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty.
   She looked more beautiful than ever before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at her youthful beauty! She was alone with her husband one day & she wanted to thank him for what he did.
   She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!!! He replied, "Oh don't worry, Honey, I get plenty thanks enough every time your mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek!!"

CONTACTS!

A policeman stops a lady and asks for her license.
He says "Lady, it says here that you should be wearing glasses."
The woman answered "Well, I have contacts."
The policeman replied "I don't care who you know! You're getting a ticket!"

NEWFIE HUNTERS!

Two hunters from Newfoundland, Clunny and Seamus, got a pilot to fly them over to the North to hunt moose.
They bagged six.
As they started to loadin' the plane for the return trip, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose.
The two lads objected strongly. "Last year we shot six, the pilot let us put 'em all on board, and ta be sure he had the same plane as yours!"
Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded.
Even with full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down a few moments after take-off.
Climbing out of the wreckage, Clunny asked Seamus, "Any idea where we are?"
'Bejasus, I tink we close enough to where we crashed last year."

THE FARMER INTERVIEW

A man owned a small farm in Missouri. The Missouri State Wage & Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board.
"Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to --- the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the farmer.

THE POLICE RECRUIT

A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He said, "Call for backup."

THE SANITY TEST

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub; we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub." 
Okay, here's your test:
1. Would you use the spoon? or
2. Would you use the teacup? or
3. Would you use the bucket?
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor.
"A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon or the cup."
Scroll down for the Director's answer.

 "A normal person would pull the plug."

LIFE AND DEATH

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.
BUT HEY, WHO'S COUNTING?

LATEST NEWS ON DEATH

-An article from the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that living has been decisively linked to death, including heart attacks and cancer.
-A federally funded study followed more than 100,000 people, men and women in all 50 states, half of whom were pre-deceased and half of whom were dead.
-Researchers found the rate of fatal heart attacks, strokes, cancer and other fatal illnesses was 100 percent higher among the living than among the dead. The study noted that all the living people who succumbed to fatal illnesses had previously been breathing, eating, drinking and sleeping.
-Researchers continue to probe whether eliminating any of these activities would reduce the incidence of death among the living.

THE AFTER LIFE

There was this couple, Mary and John, who believed they would return in another life.
 They got married and, as part of their wedding vows, promised that if one died, the other would attend a seance exactly four weeks later and contact the other.
 Twenty happy years later, the man dies, and the woman, Mary, sticks to her vow and visits a seance four weeks later. It went something like this:
 Mary: "Is there anybody there? I'm seeking my deceased husband John. Is he there?"
 Strange, booming voice: "Mary? Is that you, Mary?"
 Mary: "Yes John, is that you?"
 John: "Yes, it's me."
 Mary: "How are things where you are, John? What's it like?"
 John: "Great, Mary. Everyday after breakfast we make love until lunchtime, which lasts about half-hour, then we make love until dinner. After dinner, we make love until we fall asleep. It's great. I can't wait until you get here."
 Mary (shocked): "Is that what Heaven's like?"
 John: "I'm not in Heaven."
 Mary (fearing the worst): "Then where are you?"
 John: "I'm a rabbit in Florida!"

MY LIFE!

I want to live my next life backwards!
I start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then I wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.
Next I get kicked out for being too healthy.
I enjoy my retirement and collect my pension.
Then when I start work, I get a gold watch on my first day.
I work 40 years until I'm too young to work.
I get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and am generally promiscuous.
Then I go to primary school, become a kid, play, and have no responsibilities.
Then I become a baby, and then...
I spend my last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then.....
I finish off as an orgasm!
I rest my case.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION AND HEALTH.

It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies!
 1. The Chinese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
 2. The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
 3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
 4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
 CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what causes heart attacks.

THE VALUE OF A DRINK.

  "Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink  I feel shame.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards
and all of their hopes and dreams.
If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work
and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true
than be selfish and worry about my liver."
~ Jack Handy

And saving the best for last,
as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers.

One afternoon at Cheers,
Cliff Clavin was explaining the
Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.
Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo.
And when the herd is hunted,
it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole,
because the general speed and health of the whole group
keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate
as fast as the slowest brain cells.
Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells,
making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
 
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
