Those of us who spend much time in a doctor'soffice should appreciate this! Doesn't it seem moreand more that physicians are running theirpractices like an assembly line?Here's what happened to Kevin:Kevin walked into a doctor's office and thereceptionist asked him what he had. Kevin said:'Shingles.' So she wrote down his name, address,medical insurance number and told him to have aseat.Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out andasked Kevin what he had...Kevin said, 'Shingles.' So she wrote down hisheight, weight, a complete medical history and toldKevin to wait in the examining room.A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevinwhat he had. Kevin said, 'Shingles..' So the nursegave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, anelectrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all hisclothes and wait for the doctor.An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevinsitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin whathe had.Kevin said, 'Shingles.'The doctor asked, 'Where?'Kevin said, 'Outside on the truck. Where do youwant me to unload 'em??'

The Sheriff pulled up next to the guyunloading garbage out of his pick-up intothe ditch. The Sheriff asked, "Why are youdumping garbage in the ditch? Don't yousee that sign right over your head.""Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' ithere, 'cause it says: 'Fine For DumpingGarbage.' "

A few minutes before the church services started,the congregation were sitting in their pews andtalking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front ofthe church. Everyone started screaming andrunning for the entrance, trampling each other in afrantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soonthe church was empty except for one elderlygentleman who sat calmly in his pew withoutmoving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God'sultimate enemy was in his presence..So Satan walked up to the man and said, 'Do youknow who I am?'The man replied, 'Yep, sure do.''Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked.'Nope, sure ain't.' said the man.'Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?'asked Satan.'Don't doubt it for a minute,' returned the old man,in an even tone.'Did you know that I can cause you profound,horrifying AGONY for all eternity?' persistedSatan.'Yep,' was the calm reply.'And you are still not afraid?' asked Satan.'Nope,' said the old manMore than a little perturbed, Satan asked, 'Whyaren't you afraid of me?'The man calmly replied, 'Been married to yoursister for 48 years.’

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening toher five-year-old son playing with his new electrictrain set in the living room.She heard the train stop and her son saying, 'Allof You B*****ds who want off, get the f**k offnow, cause we're in a hurry! And all of youB*****ds who are getting on, get the f**k on, causewe're going down the tracks'.The horrified mother went in and told her son, 'Wedon't use that kind of language in this house. NowI want you to go to your room and stay there forTWO HOURS. When you come out, you may playwith your train, but I want you to use nicelanguage.'Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroomand resumed playing with his train. Soon the trainstopped and the mother heard her son say, 'Allpassengers who are disembarking the train, pleaseremember to take all of your belongings with you.We thank you for travelling with us today andhope your trip was a pleasant one.'She hears the little boy continue,'For those of you just boarding, we ask you tostow all of your hand luggage under your seat.Remember, there is no smoking on the train.We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxingjourney with us today.'As the mother began to smile, the child added..........'For those of you who are pissed off about theTWO HOUR delay, please see the fat bitch in thekitchen.'

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous hecould hardly speak.After mass he asked the monsignor how he haddone.The monsignor replied, 'When I am worried aboutgetting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass ofvodka next to the water glass. If I start to getnervous, I take a sip.'So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervousand took a drink.He proceeded to talk up a storm.Upon his return to his office after the mass, hefound the following note on the door:1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet hisass.6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referredto as Big Daddy, Junior and the spook.8) David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit outof him.9) When David was hit by a rock and was knockedoff his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.10)We do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supperhe said, 'Take this and eat it for it is my body.' Hedid not say 'Eat me'.12)The Virgin Mary is not called 'Mary with theCherry'.13)The recommended grace before a meal is not:Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pullingcontest at St. Peter's not a peter pulling contest atSt. Taffy's.

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintingsfrom the Louvre.After careful planning, he got past security, stolethe paintings, and made it safely to his van.However, he was captured only two blocks awaywhen his van ran out of gas.When asked how he could mastermind such acrime and then make such an obvious error, hereplied,'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the VanGogh.'See if you have De Gaulle to show this to someoneelse.I printed it because I figured I had nothingToulouse.

SOUND RENTAL

It is important for men to remember that, as women growolder, it becomes harder for them to maintain the samequality of housekeeping as when they were younger. Whenyou notice this, try not to shout at them. Some are over-sensitive and there's nothing worse than an over-sensitivewoman.My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situationwith my wife, Julie. When I took early retirement last year,it became necessary for Julie to get a full-time job for theextra income that we need. Shortly after she startedworking, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. Inow usually get home from the pub about the same timeshe gets home from work. Although she knows howhungry I am, she nearly always says she has to rest for halfan hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't shout at her,instead I tell her to take her time and just wake me whenshe gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch at thepub so eating out again is out of the question; I'm ready forsome home cooked food when I get in. She used to do thedishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's usual forthem to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I dowhat I can by diplomatically reminding her several timeseach evening that they won't clean themselves. I know shereally appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her toget them done before she goes to bed. Another symptom ofageing is complaining. For example, she will say that it isdifficult for her to do the shopping during her lunch hour.But we take them for better or worse, so I just smile andoffer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two oreven three days. That way she won't have to rush so much.I also remind her that missing lunch completely now andthen won't hurt her. I like to think tact is one of my strongpoints. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think sheneeds more rest periods. She has to take a rest when shehas only half finished mowing the lawn and several extrabreaks when she's vacuuming through the house. It doesannoy me, vacuuming when I'm trying to watch 'Match ofthe Day', but I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tellher to make herself a nice cup of tea and just sit for awhile, and as long as she is making one for herself, she mayas well make one for me too. I know that I probably looklike a saint in the way I support Julie. I'm not saying thatshowing this much consideration is easy. Many men willfind it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knowsbetter than I do how frustrating women get as they getolder. However, even if you just use a little more tact andless criticism of your ageing wife because of this article, Iwill consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all,we are put on this earth to help each other.EDITOR'S NOTE:Ron died suddenly last week. He was found with a 24-inchStanley screwdriver rammed up his arse with only 2 inchesshowing. His wife Julie was arrested, but the all-womanjury accepted her defense that he accidentally sat on it.

‘The Fish Places’

I went fishing this morning but after a short time Iran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth witha frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frogin his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head,took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.Now the dilemma was how to release the snakewithout getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of JackDaniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth.His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released himinto the lake without incident and carried onfishing using the frog.A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There wasthat same snake with two frogs in his mouth.

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grownostrich behind him. The waitress asks them fortheir orders.The man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke,'and turns to the ostrich, 'What's yours?''I'll have the same,' says the ostrich.A short time later the waitress returns with theorder 'That will be $9.40 please,' and the manreaches into his pocket and pulls out the exactchange for payment.The next day, the man and the ostrich comeagainand the man says, 'A hamburger, fries, and acoke.'The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same.'Again the man reaches into his pocket and payswith exact change.This becomes routine until the two enter again.'The usual?' asks the waitress.'No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak,baked potato and a salad,' says the man.'Same,' says the ostrich.Shortly the waitress brings the order and says,'That will be $32.62.'Once again the man pulls the exact change out ofhis pocket and places it on the table. Thewaitress cannot hold back her curiosity anylonger. 'Excuse me, sir. How do you manage toalways come up with the exact change in yourpocket every time?''Well,' says the man, 'several years ago I wascleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When Irubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me twowishes. My first wish was that if I ever had topay for anything, I would just put my hand in mypocket and the right amount of money wouldalways be there.''That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most peoplewould ask for a million dollars or something, butyou'll always be as rich as you want for as longas you live!''That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or aRolls Royce, the exact money is always there,'says the man.The waitress asks, 'What's with the ostrich?'The man sighs, pauses and answers, 'My secondwish was for a tall chick with a big butt and longlegs who agrees with everything I say.'
