1.  Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the heck alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

13. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.

14. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

15. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

17. Duct tape is like 'The Force.' It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

18. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

19. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

20. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Five Surgeons are discussing the types of people they like to operate on.

The first surgeon says: "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second responds: "Yeah, but you should try electricians!  Everything inside them is color coded."

The third surgeon says: "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong.  Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the butt are interchangeable."

Eddie had been suffering with excruciating headaches for several years. He finally decided to have a doctor check it out.

The doctor said, "Eddie, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Eddie was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife.

When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need - a newsuit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44long."

Eddie laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said. Eddie tried on the suit. It fit perfectly.

As Eddie admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Eddie thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Eddie and said, "Let see, 34 sleeve and 16-1/2 neck."

Eddie was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" Eddie tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly.

Eddie walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"

Eddie thought for a second and said, "Sure."

The salesman stepped back, eyed Eddie's waist and said, "Let's see...size 36."

Eddie laughed, "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

New suit = $400
New shirt =$ 36
New underwear = $6
Second opinion = PRICELESS

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed  little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque.  It was covered with names with small American flags mounted on either side of it.


The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the Pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."


"Good morning, Pastor," he replied, still focused on the plaque.  "Pastor, what is this?" he asked.


The Pastor said, "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.  Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked, "Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"

At the risk of being politically incorrect.....

A Texas Panhandle rancher and his wife were bickering while holidaying in Paris, France.

They were still hardly speaking to each other after being seated in a four-star French restaurant for dinner. When the waiter arrived the rancher said: "I'll have a big, thick porterhouse steak."

The waiter replied: "But Monsieur ... what about ze mad cow?"

To which the rancher replied, "She'll have a salad."

The next time that you run across someone who claims to be an expert, you can remind them that an "ex" is a "has been", and a "spurt" is a "drip under pressure".

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo
with the other.  He says to the waiter,

"Want coffee."

The waiter says, "Sure, Chief, coming right up."

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.  The Indian drinks the coffee down
in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of
the animal to splatter everywhere, then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns.  He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling
another male buffalo with the other.  He walks up to the counter and says to
the waiter, "Want coffee".

The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto!  We're still cleaning up your mess from
yesterday.  What was that all about, anyway?"

The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Training for position in United States
Congress:  Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave big mess for others to
clean up."

Revised Standard Digital Version of the Birds and Bees
           

A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?" 

"Well,” said the dad, “I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!  Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room.  Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. 
We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to do a download from my hard drive.  As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall. Since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little pop-up appeared and said, ‘You've Got Male’."

A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother. 

"Well," said her mother, "So, how was the honeymoon?"

"Oh, Mama," she replied, "The honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic..." Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, Mama, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language -- things I'd never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! I've gotta come home, Please Mama!"

"Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "Calm down! You need to stay with your husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?"

"Please don't make me tell you, Mama," wept the daughter. "I'm so embarrassed. They're just too awful! Come get me, please!"

"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother these horrible 4-letter words!"
Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama..., he used words like: cook, wash, iron & dust..."

A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane.


After a while the priest turns to the Rabbi and asks, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"

The rabbi responds, "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs."

The priest then asks, "Have you ever eaten pork?"

To which the Rabbi replies, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted pork." The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the Rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?"

The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."

The Rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?" The priest replied, "Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."

The Rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, "Beats the heck out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.

A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file.

The woman couldn't stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss", I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My husband's."

"What happened to him?"

The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."

She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"

The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."

A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.

"Can I borrow the dog?"

"Get in line."

A Kentucky Phone Company was going to hire a team of telephone pole Installers. The boss had to choose between a local team of two-rednecks....and a team of two Norwegian guys.

So the boss met with both teams and said:  "For just one day, each team will install poles out on the new road.  The team that installs the most phone poles gets the job."

Both teams headed right out.  At end of the  shift, Ole and Sven, the Norse guys, came back and the Boss asked them how many they had installed.  They said that it was tough going, but they put in twelve.

Forty-five  minutes later, Bubba and Duke, the local redneck guys came back and they were totally exhausted.  The boss  asked, "Well, how many poles did you guys install?

Bubba, the team leader, wiped his brow and sighed, "Duke and me... we got three in."

The boss gasped, "Three?  Those two Norwegian guys put in twelve!"

"Yeah," said Bubba, "but you should see how much they left stickin out of the ground!"

The minister is not identified.  Was it any of you??
 
 
Graveside Service
==============

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a
graveside service in a new cemetery for a derelict man (with no
family or friends) who had died while traveling through the
area.

The cemetery was way back in the country. This man would be the
first to be laid to rest at this new cemetery.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost.

Being the typical man I didn't stop for directions. And when I
finally arrived an hour late, I saw a crew and a backhoe, but
the hearse was nowhere in sight.

The workmen were eating lunch. I apologized for my tardiness,
but the workers just looked puzzled. I stepped to the side of
the open grave, to find the vault lid already in place.

I assured the workers I would not hold them long, but this was
the proper thing to do.

As the workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I
poured out my heart and soul.

As I preached, the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the
Lord" and "Glory," (they must have all been Baptist).

I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before. I
began from Genesis and worked all t he way through to Revelation.
I preached for 45 minutes.

It was a long service. Finally, I closed in prayer and it was
finished.

As I was walking to my car, I felt that I had done my duty and I
would leave with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication, in
spite of my tardiness.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard
one of the workers saying to another...

"Ya know, I've been putting in septic tanks for 20 years, but I
ain't never seen anything like that before."

True story:

My grandmother told me about politics.

The word comes from a combination of "Poly", a Greek prefix for "Many".

And "Tics"--little blood-sucking creatures.

Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Edna would say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars,and ten dollars is ten dollars."

One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, "Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."

Edna replied, "Fred that there airplane ride costs ten dollars,and ten dollars is ten dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."

Fred and Edna agreed and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word.

They land and the pilot turns to Fred, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."

Fred replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Edna fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

A very respected Captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a remote desert outpost. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out behind the enlisted men's barracks.
He asked the sergeant leading the tour, "Why is a camel tied to the barracks?"

The sergeant replied, "Well sir, it's a long way from any where, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do... uh... we have the camel."

The Captain said, "Well, I suppose if it's good for morale, then I guess it's all right with me."

After he had been stationed at the fort for six long, lonely months, the Captain simply couldn't control his sexual angst any longer. He barked to his sergeant, "BRING THE CAMEL INTO MY TENT!"

The Sergeant shrugged his shoulders, looked at the other men, and led the camel into the Captain's quarters.

Within a few minutes, the Captain emerged from his tent, fastening his trousers, almost beaming with pride. "So, Sergeant, is that how the enlisted men do it?" he asked.

The Sergeant replied, "Well, sir, usually they just use it to ride into town."

Little Johnny goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way. I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Mommy is the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you The People. The nanny, well, consider her The Working Class. Your baby brother, we'll call him The Future. Now go think about this and see if it makes sense."

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying and runs to his room only to find that his diapers are very soiled. So the little boy goes to his parents' room. Mom is sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he looks through the peephole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand what politics is now."

"Good son, tell me in your own words then what politics are."

The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep $hit."

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150." The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?" The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

It is a funny story, both then and now[ even when I messed up the punch line] It would be wonderful to be able to surf through all 356 pages, with a dial up connection, it would be faster for me to copy them down using a stone hammer and chisel on a granit block!

At any rate here is a nother one for the "More Truth than Poetry Department."  Some readers will remember these items and some younger onees will think it is a joke-NOT!

Comments  made in the year 1955:
 

 
"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."

 

 
"Have  you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before  $2000 will only buy a used one."

 

 
"If  cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a  pack  is ridiculous."

 

 
"Did  you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to   mail a letter?"

 

 
"If  they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire  outside  help at the store."

 

 
"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."  

 

 
"Kids  today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible  to  stay groomed. Next  thing you know, boys will be wearing  their hair as long as the girls."

 

 
"I'm  afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let   Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it  seems  every new  movie has either "hell" or "damn" in it.  

 

 
"I read  the other day where some scientist thinks  it's possible to put  a  man on the moon by the end of the century   They even  have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in  Texas  ."

 

 
"Did  you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for  $75,000  a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if  someday they'll be  making more than the president."  

 

 
"I  never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be  electric. They are even making electric typewriters  now."  

 

 
"It's  too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married  women  are having to work to make ends meet." .

 

 
"It  won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire  someone  to watch their kids so they can both work."  

 

 
"Marriage  doesn't mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars seem to be  getting divorced at the drop of a hat."

 

 
"I'm  just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot  of foreign business."

 

 
"Thank  goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our  income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people  to congress."

 

 
"The  drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously   doubt they will ever catch on."

 

 
"There  is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha  anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel."  

 

 
"No one  can afford to be sick any more; $35 a  day in the hospital is too  rich for my blood."

 

 
"If  they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut,  forget it."
