Hilarious "So Long" Card.

I recently left a job to take another job. One of my co-workers at the "old" job gave me the funniest & sweetest cards I have probably ever gotten:

"I guess this is where I say goodbye.
(At this point, I am really touched)

And I suppose this is where
my eyes get all watery...
(My own eyes started to water up!)

And this is where my throat
starts getting really dry...
("Wow," I'm thinking. "This is so sweet!")

And this is where I start
sniffling...
(I did sniffle a little here)

And this is where a snot bubble
begins to form under my nose...
(At this point, I fall out laughing so loud I had to apologize!)

I'm really gonna miss you!"

Isn't that the greatest? Such a perfect way to say goodbye to someone. You have to know that the person who gave me this card is hilarious & we mostly spent time laughing about anything and everything. Humor helps make any day - especially a WORK day - better.

And, by the way, the gift this amazingly wonderful person gave me was a bottle of wine.

(Thank you, C. You are one of the coolest, nicest people I have ever met & I am going to miss you SO much.)

Peace

Careful What You Wish For, Pops!



BLACK  & WHITE  TV

After  being married for 50 years, I took a careful  look at my wife one
day and said
:
"Fifty"  years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car,  slept on a sofa
bed
, and watched a 10-inch  black and white TV, but I got to sleep every
night with a
hot 18-year-old girl.”
Now... I have a $500,000.00 home, a $35,000.00 car,  a nice big bed
and a large screen TV
  BUT - I'm  sleeping with a 68-year-old woman. It seems to  me that you're NOT holding up your side of  things."

My wife is a very reasonable  woman.
 
She told me to go out and find a hot 18-year-old girl and she would make sure that  I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed, and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
 

Aren't older women GREAT? They really  know how to solve an old guy's problems.

Truth for Mature Humans

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you DIE.


2. Nothing SUCKS more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.


3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to NAP when I was younger.


4. There is great need for a sarcasm font!


5. How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Mapquest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of MY neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you HOW the person died.


9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.


11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at WORK when you know that you just aren't going to do anything PRODUCTIVE for the rest of the day.


12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.


13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.


15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

18. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!


20. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

21. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still NOT know what time it is.

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

23. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. 
 
That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their BRAIN is also important.

Guilty Dog?

The Brick




THE
BRICK

A young and successful
executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new
JAGUAR.
 
 
He was
watching for kids darting out from between parked
cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something.
 
As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! 
 
 
 
He slammed on the brakes and backed
 
the Jag back to
the spot where the brick had been thrown.
 

The angry
driver then jumped out of the
car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up
against a parked car shouting, 


'What was that all about and who are you? Just what
the heck are you doing?
 
That's a new car and that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.
 
Why
did you do it?'
 
 
The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't
know what else to do
.' He pleaded.
 
 
 
'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop...' With tears
dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
 
 
 
'It's my
brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell
out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.'

Now sobbing, the boy
asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and
he's too heavy for me.' 


Moved beyond words,
the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat.
 
 
 
He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into the wheelchair,
 
then took
out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh
scrapes and cuts.

 
A quick look told him everything
was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless
you,' the grateful child told the stranger.
 
 
Too
shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy!
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk
toward their home..

It was a
LONG, slow
walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very
noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair
the dented side door.
 
 
He kept the dent there to
remind him of this message:
 
 
'Don't go through life SO FAST that someone has to throw
a brick at you to
get your attention!'
 
 
 
GOD whispers in our souls and
speaks to our hearts.
Sometimes when we don't have
time to listen
.
 
 
He has to throw a brick at us. It's
our choice to listen or
not.


Thought for the
Day: 


If God had a
refrigerator, your picture would be on
it.

If He had a wallet,
your photo would be in
it.

He sends you flowers
every spring.

He sends you a sunrise
every morning
.
  
Face it, friend - He is crazy about
you!

God didn't promise
days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun
without rain,
 
but He did promise strength for the
day, comfort for the tears, and light for the
way.

Read this line very
slowly and let it sink
in...

If God brings you to
it, He will bring you through
it.


Childbirth at 65!


 
    

 
 
With all the NEW technology regarding fertility recently,
 
One of my 65-year-old friends
 
was able to GIVE BIRTH.  
 
When she was discharged from the hospital
   
and went home,

I went to visit.
 
'May I see the new baby?' I eagerly asked.
 
'NOT yet.' She said 'I'll make coffee and we can visit
 
for a while first.'
 
Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, 'May I see the
  

new baby NOW?'
     
 
'NO.  Not yet,' she hedged.
     
After another few minutes had elapsed,
 
 
I asked again: 'May I see the baby now?'
 
 
'NO, not yet,' the new mother replied.
       Growing very impatient,
     
I asked, 'Well, WHEN can I see the baby??'
 
      
'WHEN HE CRIES!' she snapped.
         
'WHEN HE CRIES?' I asked in surprise.
        
 
'WHY do I have to wait until he CRIES?'
              
 
'BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, OKAY?!!'
