EVER WONDER…

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why you don’t ever see the headline “Psychic Wins Lottery”?

Why “abbreviated” is such a long word?

Why doctors call what they do “practice”?

Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons?

Why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?

Why there isn’t mouse-flavored cat food? who tastes dog food when it has a “new & improved” flavor?

Why they don’t make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box ?

Why sheep don’t shrink when it rains?

Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?

Why they call the airport “the terminal” if flying is so safe?

This is downright scary!
Sitting in Hammarskjold Park
Minding my own business
As I am wont to do (lol)
When I reached into my bag
To retrieve a container of coffee
No fewer than four
Count them … 4 !!!
Uniformed police officers
With fingers on their shotguns
Four of them there are
Watching me – just in case ….
I wanna take a photo for you
But it might cost me
A night in jail :'(
(Could be fun….!)

Have you heard about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac? laid awake all night wondering if there really is a dog!

I think I want a job cleaning mirrors… it’s just something I see myself doing!!

I got a chance to conduct an orchestra today. Had more fun than you can shake a stick at.

Four great religious truths:
1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God’s Chosen People.
2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.
4. Baptists do not recognize each other at the liquor store.

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The little girl who had just started to read her book replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”

“Oh I don’t know,” said the atheist, “how about why there is no God or no life after death”, as he smiled smugly?

“OK,” she said, “those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff, grass, yet the deer excretes little pellets while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the little girl replies “do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no God or life after death when you don’t know crap?”

And then she went back to reading her book.

Don’t you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.

The first rule of “Condescending Club” is really kinda complex and I don’t think you’d understand it even if I explained it to you.

There are two words in a person’s life that will open a lot of doors for them… PULL and PUSH

It’s all very well in practice, but it will never work in theory.

You can never lose a homing pigeon. If your homing pigeon doesn’t come back, what you’ve lost is a normal pigeon.

I hate spelling errors so much. You mix up two letters and your whole post is urined.

The whole US Postal service is a fraud! There’s no way a letter can get from one place to another, because envelopes …

… are stationary.

It helps to be an enlightened mail.

NmmThere was this man working at a brick factory for years. Everyday he would leave with a wheelbarrow full of hay. The security guard would stop him, do a full search and find nothing.

Years later, the security guard saw the man and said, “I know you were smuggling something all those years, what was it?”
The man answered, “Wheelbarrows.”

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac? laid awake all night wondering if there really is a dog!

I had something witty to say. And now it’s gone. Oh well your loss.

Lol. Just musing. This may be the first time (exception JFK and LBJ) in a while when moving in to the White House is downsizing.

When I was born, I was BLACK
When I grew up, I was BLACK
When I went in the sun, I stayed BLACK
When I got cold, I was BLACK
When I was scared, I was BLACK
When I was sick, I was BLACK
And when I die, I’ll still be BLACK

NOW, you ‘white’ folks . .. .

When you’re born, you’re PINK
When you grow up, you’re WHITE
When you go in the sun, you get RED
When you’re cold, you turn BLUE
When you’re scared, you’re YELLOW
When you get sick, you’re GREEN
When you bruise, you turn PURPLE
And when you die, you look GREY

So why y’all be callin’ us

A Hindu priest, a Jewish rabbi and a Christian evangelist wanted to rent a room in a hotel; but there was only enough room for two of them so the third would have to sleep in the barn. The Hindu priest offered to go, but very shortly came back saying “I can’t sleep there because there’s a cow and that’s against my religion.” Then the rabbi volunteered but soon was back saying that there was a pig out there and that’s simply not kosher. ….. Can anyone tell me what happens next, and who told this story?

HERE’S AN ‘LOL’ FOR YOU:
CAN YOU IMAGINE, AFTER JESUS CURSED THE FIG TREE (BECAUSE IT WASN’T FUNCTIONING AS A FIG TREE) IF HE HAD BEMOANED THE FACT THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE FIG TREE JUST STOOD THERE AS IF MOCKING HIM !! WHY WASN’T THE SITUATION HEALED INSTANTANEOUSLY? AFTER ALL HE WAS JESUS !! FAITH WAS THERE. EXPECTATION WAS THERE. WHY NOT INSTANTANEOUS HEALING? WELL, GUESS WHAT !! THAT WAS THERE TOO – RIGHT WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE – IN THE SPIRIT !! WITHIN 24 HOURS THE HEALING FOUND ITS WAY INTO THE PHYSICAL REALM, AND THE DISCIPLES WERE FLABBERGASTED !!

I say ” I shouldn’t be telling you this,” at the beginning of every conversation so people will listen to what I’m saying.

A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

Given sufficient lack of motivation, there is no limit to what people can fail to accomplish.

My doctor says he thinks I’m having a mid-life crisis. I was so surprised I nearly fell off my skateboard.

I HATE it when I think I’m buying organic vegetables, but when I get home I discover they’re just regular donuts.

I told my psychiatrist that I’ve been hearing voices. He told me that I don’t have a psychiatrist.

Cops are allowed to tell women they have the right to remain silent, but when I do it I wind up with a fork in my leg.

I was about to give up on Democracy so I took a course in Communism. I would now be a card-carrying Bolshevik, but when I took the final …..

What is irony? It’s a Christian opining about needing to believe only the word of God, then argues the point using views based on sectarian traditions.

MY DOCTOR DOESN’T BELIEVE ME…

A few years back I went to see my doctor and he took one look at my gut and said that I need to diet and exercise. I told him that I did a ton of exercise and he looked at me in disbelief and asked, “What do you do?” So I listed the exercises �I do every day: jump to conclusions, climb the walls, drag my heels, push my luck, make mountains out of molehills, bend over backward, run around in circles, put my foot in my mouth, go over the edge, and beat around the bush. After he quit laughing he said, “You need to drop some pounds and get off the couch.

The best advice that I can give you is to not listen to anything that I say.

Funny..I don’t remember being absent-minded…

We live in a world where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.

I hate Russian nesting dolls. They’re so full of themselves..

It just occurred to me that the geniuses who invented religion must be the selfsame men who wrote many of our children’s stories:
Jack feel down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.
Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma was eaten by the big bad wolf who was then fixing to have her for dessert.
Another wolf with a big appetite huffed and puffed and blew his prey’s house in.
The itsy bitsy spider got washed away.
And on and on ad nauseum.

Some guy waved to me and then walked up and said, “Sorry, I thought you were someone else.” I said, “I am.”

I’m known all over the world for my exaggerations.

Random Fact of the Day: Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in.

Just watching a cat-in-the-bag commercial. It was really quite convincing. Good for carrying and transporting kitty without causing stress and discomfort. Great for feeding, clipping, grooming. I almost bought one … and then I remembered … I don’t have a cat.

Did pretty well on the scavenger hunt. Shot three scavengers.

I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and so far I have succeeded fairly well.

They call cat people crazy but they’re not the ones outside at 5AM putting fresh dog poop into little baggies.

I had a rough night. I dreamt I was a muffler on a car. I woke up exhausted.
