The weather was very hot and this man wanted desperately to take a dive in a nearby lake. He didn't bring his swimming outfit, but who cared? He was all alone. So he undressed and got into the water.
After some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction. He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket lying in the sand nearby. He held the bucket in front of his private parts and sighed with relief.
The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He felt awkward and wanted to move. Then one of the ladies said, "You know , I have a special gift, I can read minds."
"Impossible," said the embarrassed man, "You really know what I think?"
"Yes," the lady replied, "Right now, I bet you think that the bucket you're holding has a bottom."

The Wisdom of Homer Simpson "Now son,you don't want to drink beer.That's for Daddies,and kids with fake IDs." "Marge,it takes two to lie.One to lie and one to listen." "Maybe,just once,someone will call me 'sir' without adding, "You're making a scene." "Marge,don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn.It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel." "If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet,they're about to announce the lottery numbers." "Son,when you participate in sporting events,it's not whether you win or lose:it's how drunk you get." "Lisa,if you don't like your job you don't strike.You just go in every day and do it really half-assed.That's the American way."

I read that a child laughs 400 times a day on the average,while an adult laughs only 15 times each day.Which is puzzling since laughter feels so good and is so good for us!
You may know the benefits of laughter on the mind and spirit,but are you aware of how much a good laugh can help you physically?Norman Cousins used to say that laughter is so beneficial physically that it is like "inner jogging."
Mayo Clinic (Mayo Clinic Health Letter,March 1993) reports that laughter aids breathing by disrupting your normal respiration pattern and increasing your breathing rate. It can even help clear mucus from your lungs.
Laughter is good for your heart.It increases circulation and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout your body.
A good laugh helps your immune system fight off colds,flu and sinus problems by increasing the concentration of immunoglobulin A in your saliva.And it may help control pain by raising the levels of certain brain chemicals (endorphins).
It is also a natural stress reliever.Have you ever laughed so hard that you doubled over,fell off your chair, spit out your food or wet your pants? You cannot maintain muscle tension when you are laughing!
The good news is that you are allowed more than 15 laughs a day! Go ahead and double the dose and make it 30 times today. (You may begin to notice your relationships improving!) Then double it again!You are bound to feel better,you will cope with problems more effectively and people will enjoy being around you.
Laughter:it's good medicine,it's completely organic,it can be shared,it is recyclable and it's absolutely free!

God Bless America, Land of the free, Home of the blame.
We love to live in a nation,where every little aberration is solved by litigation.God bless America,land of free,home of the blame.
Let's see if I understand the state of personal responsibility in the America of the 1990s.
* If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she was holding in her lap while driving,she blames the restaurant.
* If your teen-age son kills himself,you blame the rock 'n' roll musician he liked.
* If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer your family blames the tobacco company.
* If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school for poor sex education.
* If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame the bartender.
* If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot heroin was dirty, you blame the government for not providing clean ones.
* If your grandchildren are brats without manners,you blame television. (There is some truth to this one)
* And,if your friend is shot by a deranged madman,you blame the gun manufacturer.
God bless America,land of the free,home of the blame.
