<p>Today&#8217;s payday, baby. Ka-ching! All I have to do is make<br />
a truck payment, a boat payment, an insurance payment, a<br />
credit card payment and a utility payment&#8230;and then I&#8217;ll<br />
be swimming in, oh, upwards of fifty bucks in cold, hard<br />
disposable cash. The first round&#8217;s on me!</p>
<p>Then tomorrow is the company picnic, which means I&#8217;ll have<br />
to stop at the store and pick up a snack or dessert or<br />
something to bring. On second thought, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll<br />
buy that first round.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll let you know if anything exciting happens next week.</p>

<p>&#8220;Not many people know this, but the word barbeque is<br />
actually a Norwegian word that means &#8216;I love you.&#8217; That&#8217;s<br />
not true, but if it were true, wouldn&#8217;t it be awesome?&#8221;<br />

<p>Anyone who&#8217;s ever ridden in a cab in Rome, Italy, knows<br />
they&#8217;re some of the world&#8217;s most brazen drivers. Oddly<br />
enough though, their current accident rate isn&#8217;t all that<br />
bad. I asked one of the drivers one day the reason for that.</p>
<p>&#8220;Easy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;All the bad drivers are dead.&#8221;</p>

<p>The little boy&#8217;s grandfather had taken him for a trip to the<br />
zoo and an ice cream. When he came home his mother asked,<br />
&#8220;Did you thank your grandfather for taking you to the zoo and<br />
buying you ice cream?&#8221;</p>
<p>The boy didn&#8217;t answer.</p>
<p>She asked again, &#8220;I said, did you thank Granddad for taking<br />
you to the zoo and buying you ice cream?&#8221;</p>
<p>Still no answer.</p>
<p>&#8220;You answer me, young man! DID YOU THANK YOUR GRANDFATHER?!?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; the boy said at last.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, why didn&#8217;t you say so?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because he told me not to mention it!&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<p>Payday was Friday. The mortgage company will be glad to know<br />
that. I won&#8217;t be doing much with myself over the next week<br />
or two. I put a lot of what we did in Lake Geneva on the<br />

he was impressed by the neatness of all decks.</p>
<p>However, when Bob went to Michelle&#8217;s house with her, he<br />

in its place on your ship,&#8221; he asked, &#8220;but your house is<br />

examination, the doctor gives the man a pill big enough to<br />
choke a horse.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be right back with some water,&#8221; the doctor tells him.</p>
<p>The doctor has been gone a while and the man loses patience.<br />
He hobbles out to the drinking fountain, forces the pill down<br />
his throat and gobbles down water until the pill clears his<br />
throat. He hobbles back into the examining room.</p>
<p>The doctor comes back with a bucket of warm water. &#8220;Ok, after<br />
the tablet dissolves, soak that leg for at least 30 minutes.&#8221;</p>

a pet-oriented group. Recently John started discussing<br />
his trip. &#8220;The flight was awful! We were delayed for a few<br />

<p>Last year I entered the New York City Marathon. The race<br />
started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It<br />
was embarrassing.</p>
<p>The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making<br />
fun of me. He said, &#8220;Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?&#8221;</p>
<p>I replied: &#8220;You really want to know?&#8221;</p>
<p>Then I dropped out of the race.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good morning crew,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s bill time again, or as some people call it&#8230;payday.<br />
I shouldn&#8217;t complain too much about my bills. Sure, I<br />
don&#8217;t have much money, but I did just pay off my TV which<br />
I bought last November and I now owe less than three large<br />
on my credit card.</p>
<p>So with every paycheck I come that much closer to living<br />
within my means&#8230;until, of course, the next emergency<br />
comes up that requires me to dip into my savings or go to<br />
my credit card.</p>
<p>For example; the Renaissance Faire is coming up, and Lord<br />
knows what kind of emergency expenses that will involve.<br />
Plus, I am trying to pencil some plans for a long weekend<br />
to Lake Geneva (Wisconsin, not Switzerland).</p>
<p>You see how easy it is to get trapped in a vicious cycle?</p>
<p>Laugh it up,</p>

<p>CAMPER&#8217;S SURVIVAL TOOL<br />
Not Just For Camping&#8230;</p>
<p>List Price: $19.99<br />
DEAL PRICE: $8.00<br />
Get two for $14.00</p>
<p>While this is the perfect camper&#8217;s companion, we think EVERY<br />
car should have one too! This handy tool has a flashlight&#8230;<br />
but not just any ordinary flashlight. Not only is it SUPER<br />
BRIGHT, it turns into a blinking distress light with one<br />
additional click.</p>
<p>Tucked away in the hidden compartment are two stainless steel<br />
utensils (Spoon &amp; Fork) that are magnetized to prevent excess<br />
jostling inside the container. Ventilation holes allow moisture<br />
to escape after utensils are washed.</p>
<p>Just when you think that there&#8217;s nothing else.. how about a<br />
multi-use tool that has a can opener, corkscrew, knife and<br />
bottle opener.</p>
<p>Lightweight and durable, this multi-function tool will fit inside<br />
a backpack, glove compartment, golf bag and more.</p>
<p>And YES&#8230; Batteries ARE INCLUDED! Get one for $8.00 or two<br />
for $14.00. They really do make a wonderful gift.<br />

<p>My wife and I were having a very hypothetical discussion:<br />
In the unlikely event that Hollywood made a movie based on<br />
our lives, we wondered what stars would play us.</p>
<p>&#8220;Who would you pick to portray you?&#8221; she asked me.</p>
<p>I thought about it for a minute, then answered, &#8220;Dennis<br />
Quaid.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In that case,&#8221; she said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll play myself.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sitting through fire safety and prevention programs can make<br />
anyone nod off. So the instructor tried to lighten the mood<br />
by going around the room asking where all the guests were<br />
from. &#8220;Burnt Mattress, Arkansas,&#8221; called out the friend<br />
sitting next to me.</p>
<p>&#8220;Burnt Mattress!&#8221; said the instructor, suppressing a laugh.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve heard some unusual town names before, but never that<br />
one. Where&#8217;s it located?&#8221;</p>
<p>My friend shot back, &#8220;Right above Hot Springs.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good morning crew,</p>
<p>My girlfriend talked me into going to a casino on Saturday.<br />
Not that I&#8217;m rolling cigarettes with $20 bills, but I did<br />
get paid on Friday, so I acquiesced to dedicating a few<br />
hundred bucks to the day&#8217;s entertainment.</p>
<p>We didn&#8217;t spend the entire afternoon together, since we<br />
enjoy playing different games, so we hooked up later in<br />
the bar to compare notes.</p>
<p>She bummed a drink from me and confessed that she had blown<br />
her entire wad. I had dumped two of my three hundred dollars,<br />
but was then able to win a hundred back. So I was really only<br />
a hundred down.</p>
<p>The g.f. had a difficult time wrapping herself around this<br />
idea.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you brought three hundred dollars to gamble,&#8221; she asked,<br />
&#8220;why are you quitting when you still have two hundred left?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because I was down two hundred, but I was able to cut my<br />
losses in half. So I&#8217;m going to take the money and run!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But you&#8217;re still a hundred down! You could win it all back.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Or I could lose it all. You have to know when to quit.&#8221;</p>
<p>We argued about it amiably for a while until we finished our<br />
drinks and left.</p>
<p>On the drive home she turned to me and asked, &#8220;Hey, do you<br />
want to stop and grab something for dinner?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, no,&#8221; I said patting the roll in my shirt pocket. &#8220;It<br />
would be impolite for me to eat in front of you when you<br />
can&#8217;t afford to pay for a meal.</p>
<p>Laugh it up,</p>

vegetables and flowers.</p>

<p>A father is in church with three of his young children, in-<br />
cluding his five year old daughter.</p>
<p>As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the<br />
children could properly witness the service.</p>
<p>During this particular service, the minister was performing<br />
the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five year old girl<br />
was taken by this, observing that he was saying something<br />
and pouring water over the infant&#8217;s head.</p>
<p>With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned<br />
to her father and asked with all the innocence of a five<br />
year old&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby?&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Aqua-pella.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you mean &#8216;a cappella&#8217;, singing without instrumental<br />
accompaniment?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nope. I mean &#8216;aqua-pella&#8217;, singing accompanied only by the<br />
water coming out of the shower-head.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good morning crew,</p>
<p>It was an expensive weekend. I had to pay for my promotion<br />
test at the school (which I&#8217;ll tell you about later) and<br />
then I went out for dinner and drinks and blew an inordinate<br />
chunk of my tax refund. Plus, I went shopping for new sky-<br />
lights and you&#8217;d think those things were made out of gold<br />
leaf and Swarovski crystal!</p>
<p>Anyway, it doesn&#8217;t look like the refund is going to last<br />
as long as I hoped. It looks like I&#8217;m going to have to go<br />
back to hanging out at the grammar schools and beating up<br />
little kids for their lunch money.</p>

<p>My quiet Saturday morning ended abruptly when my 12-year-old<br />
son, Billy, and one of his friends burst through the door.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey Dad, announced Billy, &#8220;have you met the new neighbors?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Come on Dad, you have to meet them.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Some other time; I&#8217;m busy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Dad, you have to meet them now.&#8221;</p>
<p>From the urgency in Billy&#8217;s voice, I assumed the neighbors<br />
were waiting outside. I set aside my project and went to the<br />
front of the house. No one was there.</p>
<p>&#8220;Where are they?&#8221; I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, Dad,&#8221; he explained, &#8220;we haven&#8217;t met them yet either,<br />

<p>Most people under-utilized the storage space in their attics,<br />
basements, and self-storage units because of the risk of damage<br />
over the long-run. Tarps are flimsy, and plastic tubs don&#8217;t work<br />
for large or bulky items. What you need is a sturdy yet portable<br />
storage unit that will keep the dust, dirt, and insects out.</p>
<p>Made of reinforced polyethylene with heavy-duty hardware and<br />
zippers, these storage &#8220;pods&#8221; are a great way to maximize space<br />
while protecting against dust, moisture, insects, and other<br />
issues that make seasonal and long-term storage difficult.</p>
<p>The unique &#8220;ez grabber&#8221; strap system easily attaches to ceiling<br />
rafters, allowing the storage unit to both sit on the floor and<br />
stand upright. The straps also insure that the pod will stay<br />
securely in place as you move items in and out.</p>
<p>Great for basements, attics and self-storage units&#8230; and each<br />
pod is backed by a limited 5-year warranty against manufacturer<br />
defects. SIZE: 26 cubic ft. &#8212; 32&#8243;D x 36&#8243;W x 48&#8243;H   VISIT:<br />

<p>During rehearsal, the high school Music Director was beside<br />
himself. The cymbal player in the band was constantly coming<br />
in at the wrong time with his cymbal clash. The young man<br />
maintained that his entry point gave a much better effect<br />
and that he wouldn&#8217;t play it as written.</p>
<p>When the Music Director was asked by the Principal why he<br />
kicked the young musician out of the band, he replied, &#8220;It<br />
was a simple case of cymbal disobedience.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good morning crew,</p>
<p>Welcome to a whole new work week. Oh, the possibilities!<br />
Who knows? This could be your week. You could meet the<br />
person of your dreams, or win the lottery! Or maybe a rich<br />
family member will die and leave you a big chunk of money!</p>
<p>Not that I&#8217;m wishing any ill-will on your family. I mean,<br />
I hope everyone in your life is doing splendidly. Unless,<br />
of course, it was some distant, mean, old miser that you<br />
really didn&#8217;t know and who nobody liked anyway. If that<br />
person were, say, not doing so well it would be more con-<br />
venient for you if he or she had a good bit put aside and<br />
was going to leave some of it to you.</p>
<p>Not to say that you wouldn&#8217;t feel any grief. Because that<br />
would make YOU a mean, old miser and I know THAT isn&#8217;t true!<br />
But getting a nice little check in the mail is better than<br />
nothing at all.</p>
<p>Of course, money isn&#8217;t everything.</p>
<p>You know what? I think I&#8217;ll just wrap this up here and get<br />
on with the jokes before I write something really stupid.</p>

<p>&#8220;The other week I went to see my doctor &#8230; I was in the<br />
waiting room, and I decided to pass the time finishing a<br />
novel. But the other patients complained about the noise of<br />
the typewriter.&#8221; &#8211;Arthur Brown</p>

<p>&#8220;I was in the supermarket the other day, and I met a lady in<br />
the aisle where they keep the generic brands. Her name was<br />
&#8216;Woman&#8217;.&#8221; &#8211;Steven Wright</p>

I heard the dog barking before he and his owner actually<br />
barreled into our vet practice. Spotting a training video<br />
we sell, the owner wisely decided to buy one.</p>
<p>&#8220;How does this work?&#8221; she asked, handing me a check. &#8220;Do I<br />
just have him watch this?&#8221;</p>

<p>I was scheduled to fly from North Carolina to Germany, where<br />
my husband was stationed in the military.  As I checked in<br />
at the airport, the ticket agent asked me some standard<br />
security questions. &#8220;Has anyone given you any packages that<br />
you didn&#8217;t pack yourself?&#8221; he asked.</p>
<p>I told him that my mother-in-law had given me a parcel to<br />
take to her son.</p>
<p>He looked at me very carefully and asked: &#8220;Does she like you?&#8221;</p>
