I believe she only packed a pistol at the time, but that was years ago.

Well, if a ruler wouldn't do it when you were in the third grade, now that you're bigger she's gonna need a lot more stopping power...

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards
were flying to a convention. Barack looked at Hillary, chuckled and said,
"You know... I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and
make somebody very happy."
Hillary shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills
out the window and make ten people very happy."
John Edwards added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10
bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."


Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his
co-pilot, "Such big-shots back there.... I could throw all of them out the
window and make 156 million people very happy."


If you are one of those 156 million, forward this! GOD BLESS!

Why 156 million?

For Jarhead....

A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to
spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he
could get in 9 holes before he had to head home.

Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and
asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone.

Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him.

To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the ball
far but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.

They reached the ninth fairway, and the young man found himself with a
tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball,
directly between his ball and the green.

After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally
said, "You know, when I was your age I'd hit the ball right over that
tree."

With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard and hit the
ball right smack into the top of the tree trunk, where it thudded back on
the ground not a foot from where it had originally been.

The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age that
pine tree was only 3 feet tall."

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so
much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have
never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into
bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel
like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...
"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me
to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look
by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in
the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with
her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big
unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on
several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to
take so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to
compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We
went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond
earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was
one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because
she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play
tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."
She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.
Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel
like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled
WHAT?"

I then said "honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're
just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy
your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she
was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and
not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

Guy walks into a bar and sees a large jar filled with $10's. He asks the bartender about it. ""Pay $10, pass three tests, and get all the money. You probably want to know about the tests, but you gotta' pay to even hear what they are." The customer paid his 10.

"First, you have to drink a whole gallon of pepper tequila all at once and can't make a face. After that, I got a pit bull out back with a bad tooth. You have to remove it with your bare hands. Last thing is that there's a 70 year-old spinster upstairs who never had an orgasm. You've got to show her what she's been missing. So...whaddaya' say, Bub?"

"What do I say? You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of pepper tequila and then try those other two things. This is a ripoff!"

"Your call, but your money stays in the jar. Rules are rules." The guy sat down, thoroughly ticked at being taken like this. He stayed several hours and kept thinking about the 3 tests. They didn't seem near so tough now....

"Okay, wherez zat tequila at?" The bartender brought it out and the guy downed it without a grimace. The regulars applauded wildly. "Okay, I'm ready for your stupid dog," he said as he staggered out back. The regulars glanced fearfully at each other. Soon they heard a half-hour of terrible growling and barking and the customer's yells. They rushed to the back door only to see the man swaying in, covered with blood and snarling.

"OK, Mr. Bartender, now where in the hell's that old biddy with a sore tooth?"

David Letterman's Top Ten Reasons Why Golf Is Better Than Sex.....

#10... A below par performance is considered damn good.
#9... You can stop in the middle and have a cheeseburger and a couple of beers.
#8... It's much easier to find the sweet spot.
#7... Foursomes are encouraged.
#6... You can still make money doing it as a senior.
#5... Three times a day is possible.
#4... Your partner doesn't hire a lawyer if you play with someone else.
#3... If you live in Florida, you can do it almost every day.
#2... You don't have to cuddle with your partner when you're finished.
#1... When your equipment gets old you can replace it!
Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer.

Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.

Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls.

If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble.

Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.

The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the phrase "maul it again."

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ... neither of whom can putt very well.

An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse.

Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.

If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme putt," you might wish to reconsider this game.

Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.

Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work, and both are expensive.

The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.

Having a bad day.
I rear-ended a car at a stop sign.
The driver gets out of his car, and he's a friggin dwarf!
He says, "I'm not happy."

That's when my day really turned bad.

Words Women Use





1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are
right and you need to shut up.

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.

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.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

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. (Ref er back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women
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.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just
say you're welcome.

8. Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!

9. 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.

GRANNY WITH A GUN

This is a true account recorded in the police log of Sarasota, Florida.

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat.

She was so shaken that she could not get her key in to the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. For the same reason she did not understand why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12 packs in the front seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces further down the parking lot. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.

The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.

Moral of the story?

If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it memorable.

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.

After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel you have on."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. Confused but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps herself back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she returns to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next-door neighbor," she replies.

"Great," the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your stakeholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend.

When I was 16, I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion. So I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life.

In college, I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability.

When I was 25, I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided that I needed a girl with some excitement.

When I was 28, I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad, impetuous things and made me miserable as often as she made me happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some real ambition.

When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned.

I am now 40, and am looking for a woman with very big breasts.

A man is out playing golf on a Saturday afternoon in Ireland. He steps up to the 16th tee, and shanks his shot deep into the rough on the side of the fairway.

He goes chasing after his ball, and when he finds it, he sees a leprechaun, lying on the ground next to his ball, unconscious, with a knot on his head. The golfer revives the leprechaun who says, "Aye, laddie, ye did it. Ye caught me, so ye get yer three wishes." The golfer, more concerned for the leprechaun, says, "My God, man. I hit ye with my golf ball and you want to grant me three wishes? I don't need me three wishes. I just want to know you're okay, to be sure."

The leprechaun, in a fit of agitation, says to the golfer, "Listen. I'll be okay. If you don't want your three wishes, then I am going to give you the three most-often-requested wishes whether ye like it or not -- so here goes.

"First, inexhaustible wealth.
Second, a scratch golf handicap for the rest of your life -- you'll be playing like Tiger-friggin'-Woods, to be sure.
And third, an incredible love life.
Now I am going to tend to me head," says the leprechaun, who vanishes into the mist.

One Year Later.

The man is out playing golf on another Saturday afternoon, in Ireland. He steps up to the 16th tee, and shanks his shot deep into the rough on the side of the fairway. Again.

He goes chasing after his ball, and when he finds it, he finds the same leprechaun, lying on the ground next to his ball, unconscious, with a knot on the other side of his head. The golfer revives the leprechaun, saying, "Good God, man. I canna' believe I hit ye again wit' me golf ball."

"Never mind me," says the leprechaun. "How are YOU holding up? How's your money situation?"

"Funny you should mention that," says the golfer. "Whenever I put me hand in me pocket, out it comes wit' a hundred-pound-note!"

"Remember," says the leprechaun, "I gave you inexhaustible wealth! Tell me now, how's your golf game?"

"Would you believe I played a tournament last week," says the golfer, "and I beat Tiger Woods by two strokes, I did."

"That's right," says the leprechaun. "I promised you scratch golf for the rest of your life. And how's your love life?"

"Well," says the golfer, "I met a nice lady, and we've been seein' a bit of each other..."

"Skip to the good parts!" exclaimed the leprechaun. "Details, man. I want details. How often are you and the miss gettin' it?"

"It's good," says the golfer. "At least twice a week, not to brag, mind ye."

"Twice a week" exclaimed the leprechaun. "Are ye daft, man? You call that good"

"Well," says the golfer, "for a Catholic priest in a small parish, it's not bad."

On a plane bound for New York, the flignt attendant approached a blonde sitting in the first class section and requested that she move to economy since she did not have a first class ticket.

The blonde replied "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York and I'm not moving." Not wanting to argue with a customer, the flight attendant asked the co-pilot to speak with her. He went to talk with the woman asking her to please move out of the first class section.

Again, the blonde replied "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York and I'm not moving." The co-pilot returned to the cockpit and asked the captain what he should do. The captain replied "I'm married to a blonde, and I know how to handle this."

He went to the first class section and whispered in the blonde's ear. She immediately jumped up and ran to the economy section mumbling to herself, "Why didn't anyone just say so?"

Surprised, the flight attendant and the co-pilot asked what he said to her that finally convinced her to move from her seat. He said "I told her the first class section wasn't going to New York."

A lady about eight months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. So she immediately moved to another seat.

This time the smile turned to a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed even more amused. When, on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this... When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are coming,' and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Slogan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself. But your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident,' I just lost it."

An efficiency expert concluded his lecture with a note of caution. "You don't want to try these techniques at home." "Why not?" asked somebody from the audience.

"I watched my wife's routine at breakfast for years," the expert explained. "She made lots of trips between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets, often carrying a single item at a time. One day I told her, 'Hon, why don't you try carrying several things at once?'"

"Did it save time?" the person in the audience asked.

"Actually, yes," replied the expert. "It use to take her 20 minutes to make breakfast. Now I do it in seven."

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.
The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.
Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.
Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her .
Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

On the first day, God created the dog and said:

“Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past, for this I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said: "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."

The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

But man said: "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.
