Some funny bumper stickers...

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.

Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs.

"Criminal Lawyer" is a redundancy

IRS: We've got what it takes to take what you've got.

That's kind of like the old....

"Frankfurt Ground, American 231 requesting taxi, we are unfamiliar..."

American 231, Frankfurt Ground. Are you saying you have not been to Frankfurt before?"

"Ground, American 231, I have, but it was in 1944 and I was flying a different Boeing product. We didn't stop."

Another one.

A small-town charity calls a wealthy lawer
"Sir, our reports indicate you've made over a million dollars last year, would you like to give some of that to the needy?"

"Well, do your reports also indicate that I have a terminally ill mother whose hospital bill exceed my income?"

"Oh, were very sorry bout that..."

"Or did you know that my uncle is a WWII veteran who requires constant care and attention in hospital?"

"No, sir we're terribly sorry about this..."

"Or did your record show that my brother is very ill and he needs a very expensive drug to keep him alive?"

"No..."

"Well, if I never give them a penny, do you think I will give YOU anything?"

Now for the . . . . .Finally Friday edition of the paper. [:)] [:p] [8D]



TRIVIA, SOME OLD, SOME NEW

Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half
dollars have notches, while pennies and nickels do
not?
A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of
coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders
from shaving off small quantities of the precious
metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched
because they used to contain silver. Pennies and
nickels aren't notched because the metals they contain
are not valuable enough to shave.
**********************************************************
Q: Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right
while women's clothes have buttons on the left?
A: When buttons were invented, they were very
expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Because
wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put
the buttons on the maid's right. Since most people are
right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the
right through holes on the left. And that's where
women's buttons have remained since.
**********************************************************
Q: Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?
A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to
read or write, documents were often signed using an X.
Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill
obligations specified in the document. The X and the
kiss eventually became synonymous.
**********************************************************
Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else
called "passing the buck"?
A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an
item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate
whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wi***o
assume the responsibility, he would "pass the buck" to
the next player.
**********************************************************
Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a
toast?
A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an
enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a
guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a
guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the
glass of the host. Both men would drink it
simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he
would then touch or clink the host's glass with his
own.
**********************************************************
Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be "in the
limelight"?
A: Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses
and stage lighting by burning a cylinder of lime which
produced a brilliant light. In the theater, performers
on stage "in the limelight" were seen by the audience
to be the center of attention.
**********************************************************
Q: Why do ships and aircraft in trouble use "mayday"as
their call for help?
A: This comes from the French word m'aidez -meaning
"help me" -- and is pronounced "mayday."
**********************************************************
Q: Why is someone who is feeling great "on cloud
nine"?
A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the
altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest
cloud. If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that
person is floating well above worldly cares.
**********************************************************
Q: Why are Zero scores in tennis called "love"?
A: In France, where tennis first became popular, a
big, round zero on scoreboard looked like an egg and
was called "l'oeuf," which is French for "egg. "When
tennis was introduced in the US, Americans pronounced
it "love."
**********************************************************
Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made
of a dense, orange clay called "pygg". When people
saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became
known as "pygg banks." When an English potter
misunderstood the word, he made a bank that resembled
a pig. And it caught on.
**********************************************************
When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a
young girl (for education & survival), Louis, King of
France, learned that she loved the Scot game "golf."
So he had the first gol f course outside of Scotland
built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly
chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired
cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary
liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland
(not a very good idea in the long run), she took the
practice with her. In French the word cadet is
pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into
"caddie."
