“One Man’s Opinion”
Part I While sitting here working, either something online or something onTV flashed me back to when I lived in Cleveland and my best friendPatrick. I hadn’t heard from him in a few years, I hadn’t called himeither. I decided to call him right then but couldn’t find a number so.“no problem” I’ll just Google him and get his phone number and email address. Presto, there he wason Linked In, so I’ll just hook up with him there. Unfortunately, there was a glitch and I couldn’t sendhim an Invite. OK, there’s his email address I’ll just drop him a note. But for some reason Comcastwould NOT connect to the mail server, So I go Googling again and I find…..His Obituary.
My best friend has been dead for three years and nobody told me. I do know why. His wife thought Iwas a bad influence on him and monitored our contact. Now here’s the story. Back in the 70’s heand I were married to attorneys who were friends and consequently, we met at what we called“boring lawyer parties” You know where you stand around with a drink in your hand and discusstoday’s hot topic or scheme to advance your career. Ho Hum. At the second party in two weeksPatrick said “come with me”, I thought we were going outside to smoke, but we walked a block downthe street to a little club and started drinking scotch like they weren’t making anymore. Needless tosay our wives wouldn’t let us back in the “party” a couple of hours later. That was the beginning of aGreat friendship. Yes, we did it all. Hanging and Drinking and ___________ and ___________ and
__________ .You fill in the blanks and we probably did that too and more than once. We did thingswith our wives too. We all went on vacation together to St. Maarten and would up with adjacent timeshares. We were that close. He’d go out and blame everything on me. I’d go out and blame every-thing on him. He’d lie for me and I’d lie for him, everything was perfect. Thennnnn things changed. Ichanged jobs and couldn’t hang quite as much, but Patrick kept going and blaming me. Me, beingthe good friend kept accepting the blame like I was supposed to. Thennnnn he had his first child. Iwas the only person there other than he and his wife, I saw Kendra first. So he started slowingdown, BUT that’s when I became less than welcome. His wife figured I was only there to drag himout and down again, which was far from the truth, but I understood and stayed away, because hewas my friend. Anyway, I moved away and as I said we stayed in touch some, but I guess justenough, but now he’s gone and I just found out and I miss him knowing I’ll never see him again.
There is so much truth to the saying, if there’s someone you’ve been meaning to call or write, do itnow. Stop reading this and pick up the phone, don’t wait until tomorrow. Your call could make their day. Call now, Tomorrow might be too late.
Just, One Man’s Opinion.“Live Long and Prosper”

A woman was taking her time browsing through everything
at a friend's yard sale, and saidto her, "My husband is going
to be very angry I stopped at ayard sale."
"I'm sure he'll understand
when you tell him about allthe bargains you found," her friend replied.
"Normally, yes," she said.
"But he just broke his leg, andhe's waiting for me to take him
to the hospital to have it set."

An elderly widow and widower were dating
for about five years. The man finally decidedto ask her to marry. She immediately said
"yes".
The next morning when he awoke, he could-n't remember what her answer was! "Was she
happy? I think so, wait, no, she looked at mefunny..."
After about an hour of trying to remember to
no avail, he got on the telephone and gaveher a call. Embarrassed, he admitted that hedidn't remember her answer to the marriage
proposal.
"Oh", she said, "I'm so glad you called. Iremembered saying 'yes' to someone, but I
couldn't remember who it was."
Laughs
A couple had been married for 45 years andhad raised a brood of 11 children and were
blessed with 22 grandchildren. When askedthe secret for staying together all that time,
the wife replies, "Many years ago we made a
promise to each other: the first one to pack upand leave has to take all the kids."
Cassie was taking two of her grandsons on their very
first train ride, from Dayton, Ohio, to Washington,DC. A vendor came down the corridor selling Pop
Rocks, something neither had ever seen before.Cassie bought each grandson a bag.
The first one eagerly tore open the bag and poppedone into his mouth just as the train went into a tun-
nel. When the train emerged from the tunnel, helooked across to his brother and said: "I wouldn't eatthat if I were you."
"Why not?" replied the curious brother "I took one
bite and went blind for half a minute."

When we put our house up for sale, I stressed em- phatically that my sons make their beds each morn-
ing. I left for work before they left for school, and Iwanted to be sure that the house looked presentable
when the agent showed it to prospective buyers.
I was surprised and impressed that my 15-year-old
son's bed was perfectly made each day. One nightwhen I went into his room, I discovered his secret.
He was fast asleep on the floor in his sleeping bag.
"How long have you been driving without a tail light?"
asked the policeman after pulling over a motorist.
The driver jumped out, ran to the rear of his car, and
gave a long, painful groan.
He seemed so upset that the cop was moved to ease up on
him a bit.
"Come on, now," he said, "you don't have to take it sohard. It isn't that serious."
"It isn't?" cried the motorist. "Then you know what
happened to my boat and trailer?"
Two police officers respond to a crime scene behind a
grocery store. The homicide detective is already there.
"What happened?" asks the first officer.
"Male, about twenty-five, covered in Raisin Bran and dead
as a doornail."
"Good grief," says the second officer. "Didn't we have one
covered in Frosted Flakes yesterday? And Captain
Crunch last week?"
"You're right. I'm afraid," said the detective as he took adrag from his cigar, "this is the work of a cereal killer."

A traveler was driving through Arkansas when he lost his
way and got off the main highway. As he drove by, he saw
rows and rows of pigsties and pigpens and pigs running in
fields and pigs wallowing in mud. Suddenly, his eye caught
something really strange. He did a double take, muttered to
himself and then looked a third time. He wondered if he had
seen correctly - it looked like a pig with a wooden leg!
He found the lane to the farm and drove up into the farm-
yard, where he was met by the farmer. "Excuse me," the
traveler said. "I was just driving by and looking at all your
pigs, and I noticed something that I just had to stop and ask
about. Tell me, did I see right? Is there really a pig out there
with a wooden leg?"
The farmer smiled. "Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw.
He's the finest pig a man could ever hope to have - and
smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig. You seethat barge down there on the river? That's a mining dredge,
taking out platinum ore. Old Caesar sniffed out the vein and
showed us how to set it up. Now that dredge brings me in
about $120,000 every year.
"There's another thing, too, a lit tle more personal. One night
a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had
more than I should have. I passed out drunk, fell down and
knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and
old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door,
got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out.
"There is no question about it - that night old Caesar saved
all our lives and you know that is not the sort of thing a man
is going to forget too easily."
"Why," the traveler said, "this is all amazing! I have never
heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me,
how did he get that wooden leg? Was he in a wreck or
something?"
The farmer laughed and said, "Well, naturally, when you
have a pig that smart, you don't want to eat him all at onetime!"

A man is lost in the Sahara desert. He used up
the last of his water three days ago and he'slying, gasping, on the sand, when in the dis-tance he suddenly hears a voice calling,
"Mush! Mush!"
Not trusting his ears he turns his head andthere it is again, closer this time -- "Mush!
Mush!" Propping himself up on one elbow he
squints against the sun and sees, of all things,an Eskimo bundled up in furs driving a sledwith a team of huskies across the dunes.
Thinking that it's a hallucination, he blinks
and shakes his head, but it's for real! He pain-fully lifts one arm and in a cracked voice
calls, "He-elp!"
The Eskimo pulls the sled up by him, the hus-kies panting in the heat, and he says to the Es-kimo, "I don't know what you're doing here,
or why, but thank God you are! I've beenwandering around this desert for days, my
water's all gone and I'm completely lost!"
The perspiring Eskimo looks down at himand says, "YOU'RE lost?!"
Laughs
When I returned home from college for a break, I
noticed a paper posted on the refrigerator. It listed
some goals my dad had set for himself: Help wife
more; lose weight; be more productive at work.
I promptly added: "Send Michelle money every
month." A few days later my brother wrote: "Make
payments on car for Jason."
Then my boyfriend joined in with: "Buy Tom a Jeep."
Finally my father added a new goal to his amended
list: "Wean kids."
A woman called to make reservations "I want to gofrom Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York" Theagent was at a loss for words. Finally, the agent asked
"Are you sure that's the name of the town?"
"Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the cus-tomer.
After some searching, the agent came back with "I'msorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the
country and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere."
The customer retorted, "Oh don't be silly! Everyone
knows where it is. Check your map!" The agentscoured a map of the state of New York and finally
offered.
"You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" "That's it! I knew
it was a big animal" was the reply.

Once there was a golfer whose drive landed on an
anthill. Rather than move the ball, he decided to hitit where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants exploded from the spot. Eve-
rything but the golfball. It sat in the same spot.
So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirtand sand and ants went flying again. The golf balldidn't even wiggle.
Two ants survived. One dazed ant said to the other,
"Whoa! What are we going to do?"
Said the other ant: "I don't know about you, but I'm
going to get on the ball."
Go to an place where there are white elephants. Bring withyou a muffin (with raisins).
Climb a tree. When the white elephant is close, drop the
muffin (with raisins) in front of it.
The white elephant will be happy, and eat the muffin (with
raisins). White elephants like muffins (with raisins).
Repeat this procedure for five days in a row. After the fifth
day, the white elephant will be used to its daily muffin (with
raisins).
The sixth day you climb the tree, bringing with you a muffin
(without raisins). Drop the muffin (without raisins) as usual.
When the white elephant f inds out that the muffin (without
raisins) lacks rasins, it will darken in anger.
And then you catch it the same way you catch an ordinary
grey elephant.

A guy walks into a bar with a dachshund under
his arm. The dog is wearing a Jets jersey hel-met and is holding Jets pom poms.
The bartender says, "Hey! No pets allowed in
here! You'll have to leave!"
The man begs, "Look I'm desperate. We're both big fans, my TV is broken, and this is the
only place we can see the game!"
After securing a promise that the dog will be-have and warning him that if there is any trou- ble they will be thrown out, the bartender re-
lents and allows them to stay in the bar andwatch the game.
The game begins with the Jets receiving a
kickoff. They march down field stop at the30,and kick a field goal. With that the dog
jumps up on the bar and begins walking upand down the bar giving everyone a high-five.
The bartender says, "Wow that is the most
amazing thing I've ever seen! What does thedog do if they score a touchdown?"
"I don't know," replies the owner, "I've onlyhad him for four years."
