Dont know if I posted this one yet, but if not.....

TWENTY-FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED..

1. If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.

2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

14. Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.

15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

25. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat.



#13 is my personal mantra...

I think the correct phrase should be "does that mean I'm more stupid?"

And YES, there IS a difference between blond and light brown.[:)][:p]

I assume you all know about Jehovah's Witnesses...

Well, sometimes the light brown used to be blond.

I like to say that my wife's silver-blonde. She says my time will come (somehow I don't think it will be tonight!).

SWIMMING
A blonde walking down the road come upon another blonde sitting in a rowboat in a field. Getting angry over the other's obvious stupidity, she shouts, "it's blonds like you who give all blondes a bad name. And if I could swim, I'd come out there and give you the blackeye you deserve."

OLYMPIC SWIMMING
It's the time trials for the women's 100 meter ***-stroke. The gun goes off and the swimmers dive in. One swimmer in particular, a blonde, was moving much slower than the other competitors. Some minutes after everyone else had left the pool, the blonde finally finishes and runs to the judges' table crying, "FOUL, the other girls were using their arms!!"

COMPUTERS
How can you tell a blonde has been using your computer recently?
By all the white-out with letters on the screen.

My apologies if you've heard these before.

ANOTHER TO ADD TO THE BLONDE LIST...

Da Bull...

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In
order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a
bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide
to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home."
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she
wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.
After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a
telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and
says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a
bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and
drive out here so we can haul it home."

The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds,
"It's just 99 cents a word." Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette
only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister
one word.

After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, "I want you to send her
the word "comfortable." The operator shakes his head. "How is she ever
going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck
and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just
the word "comfortable?"

The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde. The word's big. She'll read it
very slowly, com-for-da-bul."

Do You Know The Meaning of "Service"?

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on
the meaning of the word "service." "The act of doing
things for other people."

Then I heard the terms:

Internal Revenue Service

Postal Service

Telephone Service

Civil Service

City/County Public Service

Customer Service

Service Stations

And I became confused about the word "service." This
is not what I thought "service" meant.

Then today, I overheard two farmers talking and one of
them mentioned that he was having a bull over to
"service" a few of his cows.

SHAZAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand
what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.

A few observations (I came up with them, but maybe someone's had the same idea...)

Work is the spice of life... Garlic to be exact. Good in small amounts, but stay away from too much!

---

Why it's cold in the morning:
Ever wonder why it's cold in the morning? Never mind what science says, the real reason it's cold in the morning is God wanted us to stay asleep. Sleep right on through the cold, and wake when it has warmed. That's also why it gets cold at night. When it starts to get cold, it's time to go to sleep. Cold snaps are just a reminder to get some rest!
