     Definition of an optimist:

     It's Nov.18th.  Winter is almost here in our part of the world.  In fact, last week, the western end of our state had a blizzard.  Today's paper said there were still remote areas without power.

    A new store just opened in our town.  The owners built a new building from the ground up.  It's full to the hilt, and ready for that big rush that comes with the opening of a new store.

     The business is calledt Dan's Mopeds.  Now, there's an optimist!

A Christmas Story
-
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce
toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the
pre-Christmas pressure.
-
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which
stressed Santa even more.
-
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were
about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out,
Heaven knows where.
-
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked,
the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
-
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot
of rum.. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank
all the cider and hidden the liquor.
-
In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it
broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off
the end of the broom.
-
Just then the doorbell rang.  An irritated Santa marched to the door,
yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big
Christmas tree.
-
The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a
lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to
stick it?"
-
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas
tree.

A Touching Story




  One night, after the couple had retired for the night, the woman became aware that her husband was touching her in a most unusual manner.

  He started by running his hand across her shoulders and the small of her back. He then turned her over gently, and ran his hand over her breasts, touching them very lightly.

  Then, he proceeded to run his hand gently down her side, sliding his hand over her stomach, and then down the other side to a point below her waist.  He continued on, gently feeling her hips, first one side and the other.  His hand ran further down the outside of her thighs.

  His gentle stroking then started up the inside of her left thigh, stopped and then returned to do the same to her right thigh.

  By this time the woman was becoming aroused and she squirmed a little to better position herself.

  The man stopped abruptly and rolled over to his side of the bed.

  "Why are you stopping?" she whispered.

  He whispered back, "I found the remote."

At a local bible college, they decided to create a center for Judaic studies. For this, they hired an ancient rabbi with a long flowing white beard. One day, he was crossing the campus when he met two students.

One of them said "Look, it's Father Time."

The other one said "No, it's Father Abraham."

The rabbi replied "I am neither. I am Saul, sone of Kish, out searching for my father's asses, and lo, I have found two of them!"

Shopping Trip

 

Yesterday, I was at my local Target buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pets, Shane  and Codette.  I was in the checkout line, when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant?  So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog and that I was starting the Purina Diet again.  I added that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet, and the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.  The food is nutritionally complete so it works well, and I was going to try it again.

(I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me.  

I told her, "No. I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's rear, and a car hit us both."

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.
 

Target won't let me shop there anymore.

Better watch what you ask retired people.  They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

Tom is applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad, and is told to meet the inspector at the signal box.

The inspector decides to give Tom a pop quiz, asking, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading towards each other on the same track?"
Tom says, "I would switch one train to another track."

"What if the lever broke?" asks the inspector.
"I'd run down to the tracks and use the manual lever," answers Tom.

"What if that had been struck by lightning?" challenges the inspector.
"Then," Tom continues, "I'd run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box."

"What if the phone was busy?"
"In that case," Tom argues, "I'd run to the street level and use the public phone near the station".

"What if that had been vandalized?"
"Oh, well," says Tom, "in that case I'd run into town and get my Uncle Leo."

This puzzles the inspector, so he asks, "Why would you do that?"

"Because he's never seen a train crash!"

Hi guys,

Can someone start "Part 2" of this thread and link back to this version. At over 230 pages, it's grown WAY too big for the forum to pull around.

Thanks,
Erik
