Miller Time : Flight

His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.
   
He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.

Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.
   
He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'.

The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.
   
Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.'

'Why?' asked the pilot.

'Because I'm a photographer for CNN News,' he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.'
 
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'

HOW TO INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM

HOW TO INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM
 
1. Go to a secondhand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.
 
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine.
 
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
 
4. Leave a note on your door that reads:
 
"Bubba,
 
Bertha, Duke, Slim, & I went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour.
Don't mess with the pit bulls; they attacked the mailman this morning and
messed him up bad.
I don't think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell
from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house.
 
Better wait outside. Be right back.

Speaking German In Texas

Near Fredericksburg , Texas , where there is a large German-speaking population, a farmer walking down a country road notices a man drinking from his pond with his hand.

The farmer shouted:  
 "Trink das wasser nicht. Die  kuhen haben dahin gesheissen.

Which means:  (
 "Don't drink the water, the cows have sh** in it.)

The man shouted back: 
 "I'm from New York and  just down here campaigning for Obama's health care plan, I can't  understand you.  Please speak in English.

The farmer replied: 
 "Use two hands, you'll  get more.

Funny!

An Idaho farmer got in his pickup, drove to a neighboring farm and knocked at the farmhouse door. A young boy about 12 opened the door.

"Is your dad home?" the farmer asked.

"No sir, he ain't," the boy replied. "He went into town."

"Well, said the farmer, is your mom here?"

"No sir, she ain't here neither. She went into town with Dad."

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

"He went with mom and dad."

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other mumbling to himself.

"Is there anything I can do fer ya?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message fer dad."

"Well, said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae pregnant."

The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded.

"If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $50 for the bull and $25 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets fer Howard."

No Christmas In Wash. DC this year

There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington this year!



The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene



in the United States' Capital this Christmas season.


This isn't for any religious reason.


They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's
Capitol.


A search for a Virgin continues.





There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.




The Poll Results Are In

An exhaustive scientific poll was taken by the Texas governor's office
wherein over 300,000 Texas residents were asked whether they think illegal
immigration is a serious problem in Texas:

21% responded, "Yes, it is a serious problem."

79% responded, "No es una problema seriosa."

Economy Fix!

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg , FL Times Newspaper on Sunday.

The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President:

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings -

Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered-

Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage-

Housing Crisis fixed.

It can't get any easier than that!

If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.

If not, please disregard. Then shoot yourself!!!! 1 job opening

Good information

This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology.
 
GPS
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football game.
 
Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans.
 
Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been
prominently mounted on the dashboard.
 
When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.
 
The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so
they knew how much time they had to clean out the house.
 
It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.
 
MOBILE PHONES
I never thought of this..........

This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names onher mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen.
 
20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phonetelling him what had happened, hubby says 'Ireceived your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.'
 
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their
bank account.
 
Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc....

And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.

Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

Obama's Panic

President Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked

 in the mirror and noticed he was white from the neck up to the top of his head.
 
In sheer panic and fearing he was turning white, he called his doctor and told him
of his problem.
 
The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an examination,
the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Barack, and told him to
drink it all.
 
Barack drank the concoction and replied, 'That tasted like bullshit!'
 
The doctor replied, 'It was, you were a quart low.

Happy Married Life

 

A couple had only been married for two weeks and the husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies. So he said to his new wife , 'Honey, I'll be right back.'

'Where are you going, Coochy Coo?' asked the wife.

'I'm going to the bar, Pretty Face,' he answered. I'm going to have a beer.'

The wife said, 'You want a beer, my love?' She opened the door the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries: Germany , Holland , Japan , India , etc.

The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, 'Yes, Lollipop.. but at the bar. You know, they have frozen glasses. '

He didn't get to finish the sentence because the wife interrupted him by saying, 'You want a frozen glass, Puppy Face?' She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer - so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.

The husband, looking a bit pale, said, 'Yes, Tootsie Roll, but at the bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious. I won't be long. I'll be right back, I promise. OK?'

'You want hors d'oeuvres, Poochie Pooh?' She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, and little quiches.

'But my sweet honey at the bar you know there's swearing, dirty words and all that.'

'You want dirty words, Cutie Pie? LISTEN UP CHICKEN SHIT. SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, SHUT THE HELL UP, DRINK YOUR FRICKIN' BEER IN YOUR FROZEN MUG AND EAT YOUR DAMNED HORS D'OEUVRES BECAUSE YOUR MARRIED ASS ISN'T GOING TO A BAR... THAT SHIT'S OVER, GOT IT, JACKASS?'

And they lived happily ever after. Isn't that a sweet story?

Cows, Constitution, and the 10 Commandments

COWS


Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow,
born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington ?  And, they tracked her
calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million llegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give
each of them a cow..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
THE CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq
... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really
smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
 
The reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this -- you cannot post
'Thou Shalt Not Steal'. 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and
politicians .... it creates a hostile work environment.

Wedding test

THE WEDDING TEST

I was a very happy man.    My wonderful girlfriend

and I had been dating for over a year, and so we

decided to get married. There was only one

little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful

younger sister.


My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very

tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She

would regularly bend down when she was near

me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to

be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was

near anyone else.


One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to

come over to check the wedding invitations. She was

alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she

had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't

overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once

before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.

She said, 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if

you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.'


I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go

up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned

and made a beeline straight to the front door. I

opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.

Lord... and behold, my entire future family was standing

outside, all clapping!


With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and

said, 'We are very happy that you have passed our

little test. We couldn't ask for a better

man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'

And the moral of this story is:  

Always keep your condoms in your car.
 
Have a fabulous day....

Proud to be from West Virginia

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York Scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the
conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more
than 100 years ago.
 
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a
California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a
story in the LA Times read: 'California archaeologists, finding traces
of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already
had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier
than the New Yorkers.'
 
One week later, the Moundsville Daily Echo, a local newspaper in Moundsville WV
reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture
near Proctor, Bubba Brown, a self-taught archaeologist reported
that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300
years ago WV had already gone wireless.

Just makes you proud to be from West Virginia, don't it?

Stunning list of achievements

Stunning list of achievements

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special
Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and
incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a
thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing
videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly
narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the
non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a
minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with
people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you
have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco
de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of
May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again,
would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have
hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and
potatoe as "proof" of
what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a
single tr
ee on "Earth Day", would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low
over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan
causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually
"get" what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter
installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and
is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in
New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political
issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major
corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had
taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you
have  approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times
within years, would you have approved?

 

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM
stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you
have approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take
Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant
and impressive? Can't think of anything?  Don't worry. He's done all
this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come
up with an answer.

It's a comin'...

 Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in Bozeman , 

 

Montana, while waiting for their respective flights...

One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to  Billings  for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State Universityfrom the  Middle East .

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures.  Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face, and lights a cigarette.  The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.

 
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, 'At one time here... my people were many... but sadly, now we are few.'

 
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, 'Once my people were few,' he sneers, 'and now we are many.  Why do you suppose that is?'

 
The cowboy removes his cigarette from his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl...

 
 
'I reckon that's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'.'

Two choices

At a  fundraising dinner for  a school that serves children with learning   disabilities, the father of one of the students  delivered a speech that  would never be forgotten  by all who attended. After extolling the school   and  its

dedicated staff, he offered a  question:

'When not interfered  with  by outside influences, everything nature does, is done  with   perfection.

Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn  things as other children do.  He cannot understand  things as other children  do.

Where  is the natural order  of things in my  son?'

 

The  audience was stilled by  the  query.

 

The father continued. 'I believe   that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and  physically disabled  comes into the world, an  opportunity to realize true human nature presents   itself, and it comes in the way other people treat  that child.'

Then he  told the following  story:

 

Shay and I had walked past a park  where  some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.  Shay asked, 'Do you think  they'll let me play?' I  knew that most of the boys would not want someone   like Shay on their team, but as a  father  Ialso understood that if  my  son were allowed to play, it would give him a  much-needed sense of  belonging and some confidence  to be accepted by others in spite of his   handicaps.

 

I approached one of the boys on  the field and asked (not  expecting much) if Shay  could play. The boy looked around for guidance and   said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in  the eighth inning. I  guess he can be on our team  and we'll try to put him in to bat in the  ninth  inning.'

 

Shay struggled over to the team's  bench and, with a  broad smile, put on a team  shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye  and  warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being   accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth  inning, Shay's team scored a few  runs but was  still behind by  three.

In the top of the ninth inning,   Shay put on a glove and played in the right field.  Even though no hits  came his way, he was obviously  ecstatic just to be in the game and on the  field,  grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the  stands.

In  the bottom of the ninth  inning, Shay's team scored  again.

Now, with two  outs and the  bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and  Shay  was scheduled to be next at  bat.

 

At this juncture, do they let  Shay  bat and give away their chance to win the  game?

Surprisingly, Shay was   given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all  but impossible because  Shay didn't even know how  to hold the bat properly, much less connect with   the  ball.

 

However, as Shay stepped up to  the

plate, the pitcher,   recognizing that the other team was putting  winning aside for this moment  in Shay's life,  moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay   could at least make  contact.

The first pitch came and Shay  swung  clumsily and  missed.

The pitcher again took a few  steps forward to toss  the ball softly towards  Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung  at the  ball and hit a slow ground ball right back  to the  pitcher.

 

The game  would now be  over.

The pitcher picked up the soft  grounder and could  have easily thrown the ball to  the first  baseman.

Shay would have been  out  and that would have been the end of the  game.

Instead, the  pitcher threw  the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of  reach  of all team  mates.

Everyone from the stands and both  teams started  yelling, 'Shay, run to  first!

Run to  first!'

Never in his life had  Shay  ever run that far, but he made it to first  base.

He scampered down  the  baseline, wide-eyed and  startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to   second, run to second!'

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards  second, gleaming and  struggling to make it to the  base.

B y the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball.  The smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the  tag, but he understood  the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally   threw the ball high and far over the  third-baseman's  head.

Shay ran  toward third base  deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the   bases toward  home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!

Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'

Shay ran to home, stepped on the   plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team 'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to   another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully   embrace her little hero of the day!

Why Parents Drink

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed
was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an
Envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to
'Dad.'

With the worst premonition he opened the envelope

with trembling hands and read the letter.


Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope
with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and
you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing,
tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older
than I am. But it' s not only the passion....Dad she's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the
whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt
anyone.
We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people
that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so

Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can

get to know your grandchildren.


Love, Your Son John

 

PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.


I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a
Report card That's in my center desk drawer.


I love you.


Call me when it's safe to come home

WAL MART INTERVIEW


Jennifer, a manager at Wal-Mart, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'

The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.

'That's very good!' replied Jennifer. 'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man.

'Hmmm...let me see 'A blink!  It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'

'Excellent!' said Jennifer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliche for speed.' She then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his reply.

'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yip, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'.

Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. 'It 's hard to beat the speed of light,' she said.

Turning to BUBBA, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.

Old Bubba replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'

'WHAT!?' said Jennifer, stunned by the response.

'Oh sure', said BUBBA. 'You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit my pants.'

BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!
 


You probably will think of this every time you enter a Wal-Mart from now on

Smart Indian Kid

It  was the first day of school in the USA for a new  Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian  entered the fourth grade.

The teacher  said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American  History. Who said 'Give me Liberty or give me  Death'?"

She saw a sea of blank faces,  except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand  up.

"Patrick Henry, in 1775," he  said.

"Very good! Who said 'Government of  the People, by the People, for the People, shall  not perish from the Earth'?"

Again, no  response except from Chandrasekhar. "Abraham  Lincoln, in 1863," said  Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the  class, "Class, you should be ashamed...  Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows  more about its history than you do."

She  heard a loud whisper, "Damn those  Indians."

"Who said that?" she  demanded.

Chandrasekhar put his hand up.  "General Custer, in 1862."

At that point,  a student in the back said, "I'm gonna  puke."

The teacher glares around and  asks, "All right! Now, who said  that?"

Again, Chandrasekhar says, "George  Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, in  1991."

Now furious, another student  yells, "Oh yeah? Suck  this!"

Chandrasekhar jumps out of his  chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher,  "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, in  1997!"

Now with almost mob hysteria  someone said, "You little shit. If you say  anything else, I'll kill  you."

Chandrasekhar frantically yells at  the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the  child witnesses testifying against him, in  2004."

The teacher fainted.

And as  the class gathered around the teacher on the  floor, someone said, "Oh crap, we're  screwed!"

AND CHANDRASEKHAR SAID QUIETLY,  "I THINK IT WAS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOVEMBER 4,  2008."

Refining fire

Malachi 3:3 says: 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'      

 This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.  

 

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

 

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver.      

 

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.  

 

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says:  'He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.'

She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time.  

 

The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

 

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?'

He smiled at her and answered, 'Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it.'  

 

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.  

Pass this on right now. This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them.

 

And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.

'Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.'

Billy Connolly's Chain Letter

Hello, my name is William and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding 50
billion f **king chain letters sent to me by people who actually  believe
that if you send them on, a poor six year old girl in Queensland with a
breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it
removed  before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show.

And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and
everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000?

How stupid are we?

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get
laid  >by a model I just happen to run into the next day!

What a bunch of bulls **t.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and
sodomize  me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was
started by St  Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim
stowaways on  the  Endeavour.
F **k 'em.

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly
amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and
this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a  nickel
from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times.

I don't f **king care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually
contributing  to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own
unpopularity.

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave
you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.

If it's funny, send it on.

Don't p * ss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in
Botswana  with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant
for 27  years  and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll
receive if you  forward this email.

Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your
underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.

Have a nice day.

P.S: Send me 15 bucks and then f **ck off.

TOO BUSY FOR A FRIEND

One day a
teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.


 


Then
she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.





It
took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.





That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that
individual.


On
Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant
anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments.

 


No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter.. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on...
 



Several years later, one of the students was killed in Viet Nam and his teacher attended the funeral of that
special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.



 


The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.



 

 



As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said:
"Mark talked about you a lot."



 


After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon.
Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.



 

 



"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his
pocket "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."



 

 


Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.





"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."





All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my
desk at home."




Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."




"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary"



 

Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at
all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists"


 

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

Guts or Balls?

Guts or balls?

There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them? 
 
In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below:
 
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: 'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'
 
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of  perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: You're next, Chubby.'
 
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. 
 
Medically speaking there is no difference in the outcome. Both result  in death.

Election Stats *unverified*

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
  • Number of States won by: Democrats: 19    Republicans: 29
  • Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000    Republicans: 2,427,000
  • Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million    Republicans: 143 million
  • Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2
  • Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."


Olson believes the United States  is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty  percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA  in fewer than five years.  If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom!
