The other day I was in my local auto part store when a lady comes in
and
asks for a seven ten cap. We all look at each other and ask,
"What's a seven ten cap?"
She says, "You know, it's right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow
and
I need a new one."
"What kind of a car is it?" Joe the counterman ask.
Now I'm thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she says that
it's
a
Buick. "Okay, Lady, how big is it?"
She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
"What does it do?" I ask.
She says, "I don't know, but it's always been there."
Joe gave her a note pad and asks if she could draw a picture of it.
So she makes a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the
center she writes 710.
Joe from behind the counter, was looking at it upside down as she
writes
710...
and he just fall down behind the counter laughing so hysterically.
One of the other guy says, "I think you want an oil cap."
She says, "Seven Ten cap, oil cap, I don't care what you call it. I
just
need
one,
and I don't see what is so damn funny about it."
Yes, she was a blonde, and if you read "710" upside down it reads OIL

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%.

Here's to achieving 103% !!

Here's a little math that might prove helpful in the future:

What makes life 100% ??

IF: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

equals

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then;

H A R D W O R K = 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98% Only

K N O W L E D G E = 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96% Only

But;

A T T I T U D E = 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%

However;

B U L L #### = 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%

Give it all you've got . . .
-------------------------------
After you've read this you will find it interesting to note that
A S S K I S S E R = 1 19 19 11 9 19 19 5 18 = adds up to 120%.

There's always somebody in the group that is giving 120% isn't there?

REMAINING U.S. CEOs MAKE A BREAK FOR IT
Band of Roving Chief Executives Spotted Miles from Mexican Border

San Antonio, Texas (Rooters)
Unwilling to wait for their eventual indictments, the 10,000 remaining CEOs of public U.S. companies made a break for it yesterday, heading for the Mexican border, plundering towns and villages along the way, and writing the entire rampage off as a marketing expense.

"They came into my home, made me pay for my own TV, then double-booked the revenues," said Rachel Sanchez of Las Cruces, just north of El Paso. "Right in front of my daughters."

Calling themselves the CEOnistas, the chief executives were first
spotted last night along the Rio Grande River near Quemado, where they bought each of the town's 320 residents by borrowing against pension fund gains. By late this morning, the CEOnistas had arbitrarily inflated Quemado's population to 960, and declared a 200 percent profit for the fiscal second quarter.

This morning, the outlaws bought the city of Waco, transferred its
underperforming areas to a private partnership, and sent a bill to
California for $4.5 billion.

Law enforcement officials and disgruntled shareholders riding posse were noticeably frustrated.

"First of all, they're very hard to find because they always stand
behind their numbers, and the numbers keep shifting," said posse
spokesman Dean Levitt. "And every time we yell, 'Stop in the name of the shareholders!', they refer us to investor relations. I've been on the phone all damn morning."

The pursuers said they have had some success, however, by preying on a common executive weakness. "Last night we caught about 24 of them by disguising one of our female officers as a CNBC anchor," said U.S. Border Patrol spokesperson Janet Lewis. "It was like moths to a flame."

Also, teams of agents have been using high-powered listening devices to scan the plains for telltake sounds of the CEOnistas. "Most of the time we just hear leaves rustling or cattle flicking their tails," said Lewis, "but occasionally we'll pick up someone saying, 'I was totally out of the loop on that..."

Among former and current CEOs apprehended with this method were Computer Associates' Sanjay Kumar, Adelphia's John Rigas, Enron's Kenneth Lay, Joseph Nacchio of Qwest, Joseph Bernardino of Arthur Andersen, and every Global Crossing CEO since 1997. ImClone Systems' San Waksal and Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco were not allowed to join the CEOnistas as they have already been indicted.

So far, about 50 chief executives have been captured, including Martha Stewart, who was detained south of El Paso where she had cut through a barbed-wire fence at the Zaragosa border crossing off Highway 375.

"She would have gotten away, but she was stopping motorists to ask for marzipan and food coloring so she could make edible snowmen place settings, using the cut pieces of wire for the arms," said Border Patrol officer Jennette Cushing. "We put her in cell No. 7, because the morning sun really adds texture to the stucco walls."

While some stragglers are believed to have successfully crossed into Mexico, Cushing said the bulk of CEOnistas have holed themselves up at the Alamo.

"No, not the fort, the car rental place at the airport," she said.
"They're rotating all the tires on the minivans and accounting for
each change as a sales event."

Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital.

One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim
suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom and stayed there.

Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim
out.

When the medical director became aware of Mary's heroic act he immediately
ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to
be mentally stable.

When he went to tell Mary the news he said, " Mary, I have good news and bad
news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able
to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think
you've regained your senses."

"The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe
belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry."

rules
 
this may be posted already???



The Rules.... This time by Men.

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules! Please note ... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!

1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be!

1. Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes -- tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do! Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that last for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Check your oil! Please.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We refuse to answer.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing,"

we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what the hell they're saying anyway.)

1. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. No, it doesn't matter which quiz.

1. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that, it's like camping.

1. I'm in shape. ROUND is a shape.

A few years ago, a friend of mine bought a house in Concord, MA. This house
was old, pre-Revolutionary, maybe 250 years old.
Soon after he bought it, he was rummaging around in the cellar, which was
very primitive, and he unearthed an antique bottle with a cork in it. As he
was admiring it, the bottle slipped out of his hands and shattered on the
flagstones! And this huge genie took shape and said, "You have one wish."
(One wish, mind you.)
My friend was understandably nervous. "Well," he said, "I have this longing
to visit a certain place-this isn't my wish yet. I'm first trying to figure
out the rules-and that place is Hawaii. The stickler is that I get terribly
seasick and I can't bear the thought of flying, so I can't just let you
transport me to Hawaii-I'd never be able to get home!
"So this is what I want, if it's possible: Build me a bridge to Hawaii so I
can just drive over and drive back."
"Allah be praised!" says the genie. "Do you realize what an undertaking that
would be?! Some of the pylons would have to be more than two miles deep! We'd
have to allow for trans-Pacific shipping and be able to withstand mid-ocean
storms, not to mention all the permits! Isn't there anything else I could do
for you?"
"Let me see," says my friend. "Could you give me the wisdom to understand
women?"
The genie sighed. "What do you want? Two-lane or four-lane?"

A guy is at the pearly gates, waiting to
be admitted, while St. Pete is leafin'
through this Big Book to see if the guy
is worthy of entering. Saint Peter goes
through the books several times, furrows
his brow, and says to the guy, "You know,
I can't see that you did anything really
good in your life but, you never did
anything bad either. Tell you what, if
you can tell me of one REALLY good deed
that you did in your life, you're in."

The guy thinks for a moment and says,
"Yeah, there was this one time when I
was drivin' down the highway and I saw
a giant group of Hell's Angels Biker Gang
types assaulting this poor girl. I slowed down
my car to see what was going on, and sure
enough, there they were, about 50 of 'em
torturing this chick. Infuriated, I get
out my car, grabbed a tire iron out of
my trunk, and walked straight up to the
leader of the gang, a huge guy with a
studded leather jacket and a chain running
from his nose to his ear. As I walked up
to the leader, the Hell's Angels Biker Gang
formed a circle around me.

So, I rip the leader's chain off his face
and smash him over the head with the tire
iron. Then I turn around and yell to the
rest of them, 'Leave this poor, innocent
girl alone! You're all a bunch of sick,
deranged animals! Go home before I teach
you all a lesson in pain!'"

St. Peter, impressed, says "Really? When
did this happen?"

"Oh, about two minutes ago."

Two Texans were having the blue plate special at their favorite watering hole, when they heard this awful choking sound. They turned around to see a lady, a few stools down, turning blue from wolfing down an Armadillo Burger too fast.
The first Texan said to the other, "Think we otta' help?"
"Yep, I reckon" said the second Texan.
The first Texan got up and walked over to the lady and asked, "Kin yew breathe?" She shook her head no.
"Kin yew speak?" he asked. She again shook her head no.
With that, he helped her to her feet, lifted up her skirt and started to licked her butt. She was so shocked, she coughed up the obstruction and began to breathe again with great relief.
The first Texan turned back to his friend and said,

"Funny how that there Hind Lick Maneuver works every time!"

A woman decides to have a facelift for her 57th birthday.
She spends $10,000 and feels pretty good about the results.

On her way home she stops at a news-stand to buy a paper.
Before leaving she asks the salesclerk "I hope you don't mind my asking,
but how old do you think I am?" "About 32," the clerk replies. "I'm
actually 57," the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonalds and asks the
counter girl the same question. She replies, "I'd guess about 29." The woman replies, "Nope, I am 57!"

Now she is feeling really good about herself. While waiting
for the bus home, she asks an old man the same question. He replies, "I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young, there was a sure way to tell how old a woman was, but it requires you to let me feel your boobs. Then, I can tell exactly how old you are."

They waited in silence on the empty street until curiosity
got the best of the woman and she finally says, "What the hell, go ahead".
The old man slips both hands under her blouse and begins to feel around.
After several minutes she says, Okay, how old am I?" He removes his hands slowly and says, "You are 57."

Stunned, the woman says, "That is amazing. How do you know?"
The old man replies, "I was behind you in McDonalds."

A guy was sitting quietly reading his magazine
when his wife walked up behind
him and whacked him on the head with a newspaper.
What was that for?" he asked.

"That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Mary Lou
written on it," she replied.

"Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Mary Lou was the name of one of the
horses I bet on," he explained.

Oh honey, I'm sorry," she said. "I should have known there was a good
explanation."

Three days later he was watching a ball game on TV when she walked up and
hit him in the head again, this time with the iron
skillet, which knocked him out cold.

When he came to, he asked, "What the hell was that for?"

She replied "Your horse called."

A woman asks her husband if he'd like some breakfast.
"Would you like bacon and eggs, perhaps? A slice of toast
and maybe some grapefruit and coffee?" she asks.

He declines. "It's this Viagra," he says. "It's really taken
the edge off my appetite." At lunchtime, she asks if he would
like something. "A bowl of homemade soup, homemade muffins
or a cheese sandwich?" she inquires.

He declines. "The Viagra," he says,
"really trashes my desire for food."
Come dinnertime, she asks if he wants anything to eat.
Would you like maybe a steak and apple pie?
Maybe you'ld like a microwaved pizza or a tasty stir-fry
that would only take a couple of minutes?

He declines. "Naw, still not hungry."
"Well," she says,
"would you mind letting me up? I'm starving."

ALLIGATOR WARNING
Due to the extreme drought in Florida, the following caution was issued: The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while in Bay, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Brevard and Orange Counties. They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the alligators unexpectedly. They also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator activity. People should recognize the difference between small young alligator and large adult alligator droppings. Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers. Adult alligators droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

My line of work
 
A man is doing yard work and his wife is about to
take a shower. The man realizes that he can't find the
rake. He yells up to his wife, to look out the window
and says, "Where is the rake?"
She can't hear him and shouts back,"What?"
The man first points to his eye, then points to his
knee and finally makes a raking motion.The wife is not sure and says,"What?"
The man repeats his gestures, ... points to his eye,
then points to his knee... and finally makes a raking
motion..."EYE KNEE THE RAKE"!
The wife understands and signals back.
She first points to her eye... next she points to
her left breast...then she points to her butt... and
finally to her crotch.
Well, there is no way in hell the man can even come
close to understanding that one.Exasperated, he goes upstairs and asks her "What in
the friggin'hell was that?!!"
She replies; EYE - LEFT TIT - BEHIND - THE BUSH

George went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family including his mother-in-law.

During their vacation and while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's mother-in-law died.

With the death certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to make arrangements to send the body back to the States for proper burial.

The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told George that the sending of a body back to the States for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000.00.

The Consul continues, in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost $150.00.

George thinks for some time and answers, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back; that's what I want to do."

The Consul, after hearing this, says "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much considering the difference in price."

"No, it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case many years ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he arose from the dead! I just can't take that chance!"

Sam and Bessie are senior citizens and Sam always wanted an expensive pair of alligator cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys a pair and wears them home, asking Bessie, "So, do you notice anything different
about me?"

"What's different? It's the same shirt you wore yesterday and the same pants. What's different?"

Frustrated, Sam goes into the bathroom, undresses and comes out completely naked, wearing only his new boots. Again he says, "Bessie, do you notice anything different?"

"What's different, Sam? It's hanging down today; it was hanging down yesterday and will be hanging down tomorrow."

Angrily Sam yells, "Do you know why it's hanging down? 'Cause it's looking at my new boots!!!!!"

Bessie replies, "You shoulda bought a hat!"

The
priest, in his Sunday sermon, used "Forgive Your Enemies" as
his
subject.

After a long sermon, he asked how many were
willing to forgive their
enemies. About half held up their hands. Not
satisfied he harangued for
another twenty minutes and repeated his
question.

This time he received a response of about 80
percent.

Still unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes
and repeated his
question. With all thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all
responded except one
elderly lady in the rear.

"Mrs.
Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have
any."
"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety
three."

"Mrs. Jones, please come down in front and tell the
congregation how a
person can live to be ninety-three, and not have an
enemy in the world."

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered
down the aisle, very slowly turned
around and said: "It's easy, I just
outlived the bitches." :eek:

An old farmer had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc.

The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.

As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end of the pond.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"

The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond naked".

"I only came to feed the alligator."

Moral: Old age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill.

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the
large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with
names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning,
Alex."
"Good morning," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.
"What is this?" Alex asked.
"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the
service."
Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Alex's
voice was trembling and barely audible when he asked, " which service, the
8:30 or the 10:00?"

Ted and his wife were working in their garden one day when Ted looks over
at his wife and says: "Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big!

I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue." With that he proceeded to get
a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife
was working and measured his wife's bottom. "Yes, I was right, your butt is
two inches wider than the barbecue!!!!" The wife chooses to ignore her
husband. Later that night in bed, Ted is feeling a little frisky. He makes
some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off. "What's
wrong?" he asks.

She answers: "Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill
for one tiny little sausage?"

The blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired
of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are
perceived as stupid, so she decides to show her
husband that blondes really are smart. While her
husband is off at work, she decides that she is going
to paint a couple of rooms in the house. The next day,
right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down
to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30
and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks
into the living room and finds his wife lying on the
floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is
wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at the same time.
He goes over and asks her if she is ok. She replies
yes. He asks what she is doing. She replies that she
wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are
dumb and she wanted to do it by painting the house. He
then asks her why she has a ski jacket over her fur
coat. She replies that she was reading the directions
on the paint can, and they said...

The manager of a tackle shop was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.

He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from college. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"

The secretary thought a moment and replied, "Everything but my earrings!" :eek:

A father and son went hunting together for the first time. The father
said,
"Stay here and be very QUIET. I'll be across the field."

A few minutes later, the father heard a bloodcurdling scream and ran
back to his son. "What's wrong?" the father asked. "I told you to be
quiet."

The son answered, "Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my
feet. I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck. I didn't move a
muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder. I closed my eyes and
held my breath when the wasp stung me. I didn't cough when I swallowed
the gnat. I didn't cuss or scratch when the poison oak started itching.
But when the two chipmunks crawled up my pant legs and said, 'Should we
eat them here or take them with us?' Well, I guess I just panicked."

An Irishman walked into a bar in Dublin. He ordered three pints of
Guinness, sat in the back of the room, and drank a sip out of each one
in turn. When he finished them, he came back to the bar and ordered
three more.

The bartender asked him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it. It
would taste better if you bought one at a time."

The Irishman replied, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin. When we all
left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days
when we drank together."

The bartender admitted that this was a nice custom, and left it there.

The Irishman became a regular in the bar, and always drank the same way.
One day, he came in and ordered two pints. All the other regulars
noticed and fell silent.

When he came back to the bar for the second round, the bartender said,
"I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I want to offer my
condolences on your great loss."

The Irishman looked confused for a moment, then a light dawned in his
eye and he laughed. "Oh, no, everyone's fine. I've just quit drinking."

One day three men walked into a
pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they
were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in
each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head.

The first man pushed his beer away in disgust.

The Second man fished the fly out of his beer, and continued
drinking it, as if nothing had happened.

The third man, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out
over the beer, and started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT!! SPIT IT OUT
YOU B$%@#$*!!!!"
