Humor --</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A guy is driving around the back woods, and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale’. He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.<br />
<br />
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.<br />
<br />
'You talk?' he asks. <br />
<br />
'Yep,' the Lab replies. <br />
<br />
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?' <br />
<br />
The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. 'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.’<br />
<br />
‘But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.' 'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.' <br />
<br />
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. <br />
<br />
'Ten bucks,' the guy says.<br />
<br />
'Ten bucks? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?' <br />
<br />
'Because he's a liar……….. He's never been out of the garden'</div>

MOTHER GOOSE, REVISITED</div>
<br />
Jack and Jill<br />
Jogged up the hill,<br />
Their breath came<br />
Faster and faster.<br />
<br />
Before the top<br />
They made a stop,<br />
Narrowly averting<br />
A myocardial disaster.<br />
<br />
***<br />
Jack tried to be nimble<br />
He tried to be quick.<br />
He shot hoops with young guys<br />
And ruptured a disc.<br />
<br />
***<br />
Oh where, oh where<br />
Has my Estrogen gone?<br />
Oh where, oh where can it be?<br />
I was once young and fair<br />
Now I sprout facial hair<br />
Oh hormones, come back to me.<br />
<br />
***<br />
Low-fat cake, no-cal shake<br />
Pritikin man,<br />
I’ve tried every diet<br />
From here to Japan.<br />
<br />
I’ve poached it, I’ve steamed it,<br />
I’ve drunk herbal tea.<br />
I think from now on<br />
I’ll just let myself be.<br />

Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a table. “Young man, we're both 90 years old,” the husband said. “We may not have 45 minutes.” They were seated immediately.<br />

No appetite, no energy, upset stomach. When I finally got to the doctor, he had me get a blood test. That led to an ultra sound, which led me, yesterday, to a gastroenterologist whom I had seen before many years ago.<br /><br />After listening to my complaints, he examined me and came to the conclusion that I need a colonoscopy. Arrgh!<br />
<br />That will be tomorrow. Today is the nasty day since I have to take a bottle of laxative, and then have it power wash my insides. You can find me in the bathroom.<br /><br />As it happens, I like this doctor. He is very reassuring without glossing over the problem. One thing that makes him interesting is that his last name is seven (7) syllables long!<br /><br />I’ll be back when I’m able.<br /><br />Fun --<br /><br />I was in the express lane at the store, quietly fuming. Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward, looked into the cart and asked sweetly, “So which six items would you like to buy?”Don Meyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06907539845611304782noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600802524141251157.post-81916783648696094232013-10-23T09:48:00.001-07:002013-10-23T09:48:05.001-07:00Not todayNot feeling well.

The weekly grocery ads show up on Tuesdays with the morning paper, and I take a look to see what is on sale. As I scanned through this morning, this caught my eye:<br />

Muscle milk? What on earth is that? Milk made from muscles? Or mussels? Note that the ad says that there are select varieties. Is that muscles, or the milk? The CRV tells me it comes in a bottle. I think I'll pass this week. If anyone has any info on this product, I'd appreciate your letting me know.</div>

The author lists some 64 rules about food that make a great deal of sense. No, I am not going to list 64 food rules; however, I do want to introduce you to this gentlemen, and his notions about food.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjxG-WgUbCTR4wYDw_tQRnZHT0Iar0u7te5QybAahGNy-XFerDerwblLEHdg7TSP2AaFOCTniX35699QjgfD4CxTEYs3KuJ7xFRLkJyyL19a0YvMMLw7CKDJzgV9oVcffBp8JiHCeu-s/s1600/food+rules.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjxG-WgUbCTR4wYDw_tQRnZHT0Iar0u7te5QybAahGNy-XFerDerwblLEHdg7TSP2AaFOCTniX35699QjgfD4CxTEYs3KuJ7xFRLkJyyL19a0YvMMLw7CKDJzgV9oVcffBp8JiHCeu-s/s200/food+rules.jpg" width="130" /></a>First of all, Pollan is not a nutritionist nor a scientist; he is a journalist. But he has, he says, thoroughly researched what he writes about. He says, “Eating in our time has gotten complicated; needlessly so, in my opinion.” He goes on to say that many of us rely on experts of one kind or another to tell us how to eat. We don’t always heed the expert advice, but somehow it sticks in our heads in the grocery aisle or at a restaurant.<br />
<br />
He divides the book into three chapters: Part one – What should eat? <i>(Eat food)</i>. Part two - What kind of food should I eat? <i>(Mostly plants)</i> Part three - How should I eat? <i>(Not too much)</i>.<br />
<br />
Pollan is not being facetious when he says to eat food. By that he means there are thousands of products on supermarket shelves that are highly processed concoctions designed by food scientists, consisting mostly of ingredients derived from corn and soy that no normal person keeps in the pantry. Pollan calls these manufactured items <i>edible food like substances.</i><br />
<br />
With each rule, he gives a brief description of the reason for the rule, but I will not get into that. But the rules themselves gives you a pretty good idea of what he has in mind. For example rule number two says, “<i>Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.</i>”<br />
<br />
Rule number six: “<i>Avoid food products that contain more than five ingredients</i>.”<br />
<br />
Rule number seven is one of my favorites: “<i>Avoid food products containing ingredients that are third-grader cannot pronounce</i>.”<br />
<br />
Another of my favorites is rule number 11: “<i>Avoid foods you see advertised on television.</i>”<br />
<br />
You get the idea. If this small discussion intrigues you, you may want to find the book at your local library. I do, however, want to give you rule number 64, which I think you will appreciate: <i>“Break the rules once in a while.”</i><br />
<br />
(It occurs to me that you can read<i> </i>that book title two ways. The first is probably the way it is intended, with <i>Food</i> as an adjective, and <i>Rules</i> as a noun. The other is with <i>Food</i> as a noun, and <i>Rules</i> as a verb. Think about it.)<br />
<br />
Humor --<br />
<br />
<i>Hoo, boy, did I find the right piece of humor to follow Food Rules!</i><br />
<br />
For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.<br />
<br />
The Japanese eat is very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.<br />
<br />
The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.<br />
<br />
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.<br />
<br />
The Italians excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.<br />
<br />
The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausage and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.<br />
<br />
Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. <br />

TRUCK STOP<br />
<br />
A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, “I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.” The brand new waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, “This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“No,” the cook said. “Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are two slices of crisp bacon.”<br />
<br />
“Oh, OK!' said the waitress. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.<br />
<br />
The trucker asked, “What are the beans for?” She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!”<br />

Working at the post office, I'm used to dealing with a moody public. So, when one irate <br />
customer stormed my desk, I responded in my calmest voice, "What's the trouble?"<br />
"I went out this morning," she began, "and when I came home, I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package, but no one was home. I'll have you know, my husband was in all morning! He never heard a thing!"<br />
After apologizing, I got her parcel.<br />
"Oh good!" she gushed. "We've been waiting for this for ages!"<br />
"What is it?" I asked.<br />
"My husband's new hearing aids."</div>

COMMENTS MADE IN THE YEAR 1955<br />
(That's only 58 years ago!)<br />
<br />
"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.00."<br />
<br />
"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2, 000.00 will only buy a used one."<br />
<br />
"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.”<br />
<br />
"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"<br />
<br />
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."<br />
<br />
"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."</div>

<i>A few days ago one of my followers (Hi, Lynn) and I exchanged comments about windy weather. So when the following joke turned up, I knew I had to share it.</i><br />
<br />
MARINE TEACHER<br />
<br />
A former sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job as a high school teacher. Just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a thin plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable.<br />
<br />
On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart-aleck punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and he knew they would be testing his discipline in the classroom. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. Dead silence...<br />
<br />
The rest of the year went very smoothly.</div>

EIGHT WORDS WOMEN USE<br />
<br />
1.) “Fine”: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.<br />
<br />
2.) “Five minutes”: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.<br />
<br />
3.) “Nothing”: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with “Nothing” usually end in “Fine”.<br />
<br />
4.) “Go ahead”: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it!<br />
<br />
5.) Loud sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of “Nothing”.)<br />
<br />
6.) “That's okay”: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. “That's okay” means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.<br />
<br />
7.) “Thanks”: A woman is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say, “You're welcome”.<br />
<br />
8.) “Don't worry about it, I got it”: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What's wrong?” For the woman's response refer to #3. Then you RUN!</div>

I’VE BEEN SHOT!Twice! A short while ago a good friend (Hi, Boyd!) suggested that if I had not yet had it, I should get a shingles shot. I know that if one has had chicken pox, one is in danger of getting shingles, and I had had chicken pox as a kid.<br />
<br />
I knew that my semi-annual visit to the Veterans Administration was coming soon, so I called VA to ask if they give the shingles vaccine. Yes, they do. <br />
<br />
Yesterday I had the appointment with my VA doctor, and I had several issues to ask about. So I added <i>shingles shot</i> to the list. Now for you non-vet readers, here is the procedure: I check in to let them know I’m there. They direct me to the waiting room where a nurse finds me. She takes me back where I’m weighed, she takes my blood pressure and temperature, and then asks if I have any unusual areas of pain. <br />

<br />
Then she asked, “Do you want your annual flu shot?”<br />
“Yeah, sure.” Then she really startled me.<br />
“And you want a shingles shot.”<br />
<i>“How did you know that?”</i><br />
“I heard your son mention it. I’ve got big ears.”<br />
(Actually she is a rather attractive young lady, with very nice ears).<br />
<br />
She went out to get the flu vaccine, and when she returned she said, “You don’t need the shingles vaccine because you had it the last time you were in. I looked it up on the computer”<br />
<br />
I had not remembered that.<br />
<br />
So she gave me the flu shot, and I’m set for the year.<br />
Two shots -- one yesterday, and one six months ago.<br />
<br />

<br />

Part of this story is true. Picabo Street won a skiing gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics. That is the true part. Here is the humor part: Someone suggested that if Picabo Street ever went to work at a hospital in the intensive care unit, she could answer the phone, Picabo, ICU.<br />
<br />
<i>Then the nurse asked if she could tell me one. Sure!</i><br />

A moth goes to a podiatrist, and says, “Doc, I’m having a bad time. My wife left me; I lost my job; I feel like nobody likes me; ...<br />
<br />
“Wait, wait,” says the podiatrist. “You need to talk to a psychiatrist. Why did you come here?”<br />
<br />
“Your light was on.”<br />

So I said to Cliff, “I want to go out on my scooter this afternoon.” I need his help because while I have an elevator to get me to ground level, and I am able to move on my own, Cliff is afraid I’ll fall and break something. So he takes me down to the scooter in the wheelchair, and I go from there.<br />
<br />
There is a very nice park in the next block and across the street, so that’s where I headed. And as I scooted down the sidewalk, I saw several handmade signs saying there was a sale at a house the address for which indicated a house across the street. I thought to myself that perhaps I’d have a look on my way home.<br />
<br />
The park was occupied by the “usual suspects” -- a father pushing his youngster on a swing, little ones on two wheel scooters, mothers watching youngsters using the slide, people walking their dogs (or was it the other way around?), several people talking on their cell phones ... well, you get the idea.<br />
<br />
I found a shady spot under a tree, and pulled out my magazine to read. After a while, a breeze came up, and was fluttering the magazine pages. So I decided it was time to leave, and also take a look at what was for sale.<br />
<br />
This was not a garage sale. The gentleman had several racks of rather pricey wooden bowls for sale -- $30 to $50 for the ones I looked at. Very attractive, but not for me. What did catch my eye, though, was a sign the gentleman had posted:<br />
DOGS ARE WELCOME;<br />
PEOPLE ARE TOLERATED<br />
<br />
Fun --<br />
<br />
And speaking of dogs and other people ...<br />

A FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE</div>
(Storyteller unknown)<br />
<br />
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother who is four years older than I am. I was maybe one and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among other injuries.<br />
<br />
Someone had given me a little “tea set” as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news and my brother was playing nearby in the living room when I brought daddy a little cup of ”tea”, which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my mom came home. My dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was “just the cutest thing!!” My mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for daddy and she watches him drink it up, then says, “Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet??”<br />
<br />
And sure enough....!! <br />
