Things to Ponder
- The reason why the human race has not achieved its full
potential: meetings.
- There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental
illness".
- You should not confuse your career with your life.
- Someone will always take you too seriously.
- When trouble arises, someone will always take command.
Very often, that person is crazy.
- Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and
dance.
- Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
- The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
- No one really knows the reason for Daylight Savings
Time.
- The one thing that unites all human beings is they ALL
believe they are good drivers.
- The goal of all organized protests is to annoy people
who are not in them.
- A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is
not a nice person.
- Your friends love you anyway.

Dear Mr. IRS
I am responding to your letter denying the deduction for two of the three
dependents I claimed on my Federal Income Tax return. Thank you. I have
questioned whether these are my children or not for years. It's only fair that
since they are minors and not my responsibility that the government knows
something about them. You may apply next year to reassign them to me and
reinstate the deduction. This year they are yours!
The oldest, Kristen, is now 17. She is brilliant. Ask her!
I suggest you put her to work in your office where she can answer people’s
questions about their returns. While she has had no formal training, it has not
seemed to hamper her knowledge of any other subject you can name. Taxes should
be a breeze.
Patrick is 14. I've had my suspicions about this one. His
eyes are a little to close together for normal people. He may be a tax examiner
himself someday if you don't incarcerate him first. He and his friends have
raging hormones. DO NOT leave any of them unsupervised with girls, explosives,
inflammables, vehicles or telephones. I'm sure you'll find the telephones a
source of unimaginable amusement. Be sure to lock out the 900 numbers!
Heather, my youngest, slid through a time warp or came
from a bad trip in the 60s. She wears tie-dyed clothes, beads and sandals. Most
people under twenty understand the curious speech she fashioned out of valley
girl-boys-in-the-hood-reggae-yuppie lingo. She wears hats backwards, pants baggy
and wants one of her ears pierced four more times.
You denied two of the three deductions so I guess it's
only fair you get to pick which two you will take. I prefer you take the two
youngest, I still go bankrupt with Kristen's college expense but then I'm free! If you take the two oldest at least I
have time for counseling before Heather becomes a teenager. If you take the two
girls I won't feel so bad about putting Patrick in a military academy. Please
let me know of your decision as soon as possible as I have already increased the
withholding on my W4 to cover the $395 in additional tax and made a down payment
on an airplane.
Yours Truly,
John Q. Smith

I’d Do
Anything
A female student steps into a professor's office after hours. She
glances down the hall, closes his door and says seductively, "I would do
anything to pass this exam."
She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes into
his eyes. "I mean..." she whispers, "anything".
He returns her gaze. "Anything?"
"Anything" she
coos.
His voice softens. "Really? Anything?"
"Anything."
His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...study?"

C: I'm having trouble with WordPerfect. I was typing

WCS: Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?
C: It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.
WCS: Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?
C: How do I tell?
WCS: Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?
C: What's a "sea prompt"?
WCS: Never mind. Can you move the cursor around the

C: There isn't any cursor.
WCS: Does your monitor have a power indicator?
C: What's a monitor?
WCS: It's the thing that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells
you when it's on?
C: I don't know.
WCS: Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord
goes into it.
C: I can't.
WCS: Even if you lean way over?
C: I can't because it's
dark.
WCS: Dark? Why?
C: Because there's a power outage.
WCS: Aha!!! We've got it licked now. Do you still have the computer boxes,
manuals and packing stuff?
C: Yes, I keep them in the closet.
WCS: Good. Go get them, unplug your equipment and pack it up just like it was when
you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.
C: Really? Is it that bad?
WCS: Yes, I'm afraid it is.
C: Well, all right. What do I tell them?
WCS: Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer.

Stuck in a Rut?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5
inches. That gauge was used because that's the way they built them in England
and English immigrants engineered the US Railroads.
Why did the English build them like
that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built
pre-railroad tramways and that's the gauge they used. And the people who built
the tramways used the same jigs and tools that were used for building wagons
and their wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular
odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon
wheels would break because that was the spacing of the wheel ruts in English
roads.
So who built those roads? The Romans
built the first roads in England for their armies. Roman war chariots formed
the initial ruts. And that wheel spacing was based on the width of the two
horses that pulled the chariot.
Some things never change (even when
change is long overdue). Are you stuck in a rut? Next time you’re handed some
ill-conceived plan and wonder what horse's ass was behind it, you may be
exactly right.

Two Buck Donkey
A man named Kenny (yes, same Kenny) bought a donkey from an old
farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. But the
next day, the farmer called and said, "I have some bad news. The donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well, just give me my
money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Kenny said, "OK, just bring me the donkey." The farmer asked, "What ya gonna
do with him?"
Kenny responded, "I'm going to raffle him off." The farmer
blanched, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" But Kenny replied
coolly, "Sure I can. I just won't tell anybody he’s dead."
A month later the farmer ran into Kenny and asked, "What happened with that
dead donkey?" Kenny replied, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two
bucks a piece and made a $898 profit."
The farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain?" "Just the guy who won. So I gave
him his two bucks back."

Lost in Translation
A new missionary was sent to Mexico and was struggling with the
language. Intent on mixing with the locals, he visited a local church but
having arrived late, the only seat was the one on the front row. To not make a
fool of himself, he decided to imitate the man sitting next to him. When they
sang, the man clapped his hands, so the missionary clapped too. When the man
stood up to pray, the missionary stood as well.
During the sermon, the missionary didn't
understand a thing. He just sat there and tried to look just like the man in
the front pew. Then he perceived that the preacher was giving announcements.
The man was clapping so the missionary clapped too. Then the preacher spoke
and the man next to him stood up. So he stood up too. Suddenly a hush fell
over the entire congregation. A few people gasped. He looked around and saw
that nobody else was standing.
After the service, the preacher stood at
the door shaking hands. When the missionary stretched out his hand to greet
the preacher, the preacher said in English: "I take it you don't speak
Spanish." The missionary replied: "No I don't. It's that obvious?" "Well yes,"
said the preacher, "I announced that the Acosta family had a newborn baby boy
and would the proud father please stand up."

God said, "I will give you a companion,

always agree with you. She will bear your children and never ask you to help.
She will not nag, She will always be the first to admit she is wrong. She will
never have a headache and will freely give you love whenever you need it."
Adam asked, "This sounds too good to be
true. What will this cost?"
God said, "An arm and a leg!"
Adam countered, "What can I get for just
a rib?"

Technology is grand but when misused, even unintentionally, can have serious
consequences. Consider the case of the man who left snowy Chicago for a
vacation in Florida.
His wife was on a business trip and was
planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided
to send his wife a quick email. Unable to find her email address, he typed it
from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his email was misdirected
to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had recently passed away.
When the grieving widow checked her
email, she let out a piercing scream and fainted. The email read:
Honey,

Horrorscopes #1
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
Did Franz Kafka cough a lot? Did Hemingway hem and haw? Did Twain stay on
the wight twacks? Did Poe ever get rich? Ok, enough of that. Shut off the tube
and read something before your brain rots.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
Giving out unsolicited advice is a little like giving a blind man a
mirror. In other words, nobody needs it or wants it. You should take care of
your own odd traits and obnoxious patterns before tackling those of humanity.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
The study of history is the study of human error. Nobody’s perfect and we
learn by mistakes. The next time someone tries to give you a lecture, spike
his drink with a Mickey.
Aries: March 21 - April 19
Considering the high cost of living, it’s somehow ironic that life is so
cheap. It’s good that you notice that which surrounds you, however don’t
lecture the less observant. In short, smell the roses but mind your manners.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
So you’ve finally got your second wind? That’s very good, but the race is
far from over. You’ve miles to go before you sleep, and thus I advise that you
invest in oxygen tanks.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
In the sub-standard mind, commonly held, popular beliefs have a way of
substituting themselves for facts. This is a sign of mental sloth. Extricate
yourself from idiots and think. The truth shall set you free.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
Those who wish to make things right have no great objection to seeing
things go wrong. Conversely, those who thrive upon chaos and ignorance will
fight tooth and nail against order and civilization. Maybe you should just
move.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
If you’re considering a horrid idea then you’re already half converted.
The reason you make bad decisions is because you over think. Everyone knows
right or wrong, they just hate to admit that sometimes right is hard.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
Those lacking at least one horse thief in their family tree often have
shallow roots. Exotic spices liven the stew, and your diet right now is very
bland. You don’t need to go to jail, but you do need to take some risks.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
As is demonstrated millions of times per day, idiocy knows no rest. Every
moronic concept has a champion, and he usually hasn’t bathed for six months. A
loud voice, unfortunately, often supersedes common sense.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
If discretion is the better part of valor, then valor is the better part
of picking your battles wisely. Be humble, buy big guns, and pull them only as
a last resort.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December
21
Some people are very wise. Other people are otherwise. The world would be
your oyster if you merely broadened your circle with care and consideration.
Expand your horizons now, lest the sun set on your dreams.

The Chicken
Gun
Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch dead four pound
chickens at high velocity at windshields of airliners, military jets and
the space shuttle. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of
collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
French engineers heard about the device
and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains.
Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to them. When the gun was fired,
the engineers were aghast as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed
into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the
control console, snapped the engineer's backrest in two, and embedded itself
in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow. Sacre bleu!
The horrified Frenchmen sent NASA the
disastrous results of the experiment along with the designs of the windshield
and begged the US scientists for suggestions.
NASA responded with a one-line memo --
"Defrost the chicken".

Rewriting History
Inscription on the back of an old photograph: "Remus Starr: Horse
thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison, 1885. Escaped 1887, robbed the
Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged.
As rewritten by his relatives: "Remus Starr was a famous entrepreneur in the
Montana Territory. His business empire included equestrian assets and dealings
with the railroad. He devoted two years of his life to service at a government
facility, taking leave to resume his partnership with the railroad. In 1887,
he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton
Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during a civic function held in
his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

Playing Golf
It was a sunny morning on the first hole of a busy course. I was beginning my
routine, visualizing my upcoming shot when a piercing voice came over the
clubhouse loudspeaker:
"Would the gentleman on the women's tee please
back up to the men's tee, please?"
I could feel every eye on the course looking at
me. I was still deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption.
Again the announcement: "Would the man on the
women's tee please back up to the men's tee, please?"
I simply ignored the guy and kept concentrating,
when once more the man yelled, "Would the man on the women's tee please back
up to the men's tee, please?"
I finally stopped, turned, cupped my hands and
shouted back.... "Would the jerk with the microphone kindly keep quiet and let
me play my second shot?"

on the pillow that was addressed to “Dad”. He opened the envelope and read:
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret that I'm writing you. I eloped with my new girlfriend
Stacey because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I’ve been finding
real passion with Stacy. But I knew you wouldn’t approve of her because of all
her piercings, tattoos and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it'
s not only the passion. She's pregnant.
Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and we
share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the
fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for
ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine
and ecstasy.
Don't worry Dad. I'm fifteen and I know how to take care of myself. Someday,
I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your
grandchildren.
Love,
John

Loan Approved
After the damage caused by Hurricane
Katrina, some New Orleans homeowners seeking financing were challenged
with tracing their home titles back hundreds of years since their houses
had been passed down through generations of family.
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client. He was told the loan
would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of
property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back
to 1803. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the
following reply:
"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we
note the request is supported by an Abstract of Title which only clears
title to the proposed collateral back to 1803. Before final approval can
be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."
The lawyer responded as follows: "I was unaware that any educated
American, particularly those working in the real estate area, would not
know that Louisiana was purchased by the United States from France in
1803, the year of origin identified in our application. The title to the
land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired
it by Right of Conquest from Spain. The land came into the possession of
Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named
Christopher Columbus, who had been challenged to seek a shorter route to
India by the Spanish monarch Queen Isabella.
Queen Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as
the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before
she sold her jewels to finance the Columbus expedition. The Pope, as you
may know, is an emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. God, it is
commonly believed, created the world, so it is safe to assume that God
also made Louisiana. God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and his
origins predate the beginning of time, the world as we know it and FHA. I
hope you find God's claim to be satisfactory."
