What is Celibacy?

Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances.

While attending a Marriage Weekend, Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to the instructor declare, 'It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other."

He then addressed the men. "Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?"

Walter leaned over, touched Ann's arm gently, and whispered, 'Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn't it?'

And thus began Walter's life of celibacy.

Important Info on the Stimulus Payment

"Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
"A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

"Q. Where will the government get this money?
"A. From taxpayers.

"Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
"A. Only a smidgen.

"Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
"A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a
high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

"Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
"A. Shut up."

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by
spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, some will go to the few
remaining workers in the US, the rest of the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs, Canada, Mexico,
or Hugo Chavez.

If you purchase a computer it will go to India.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras,
and Guatemala (unless you buy organic which means it will go to
California first, then Mexico).

If you buy a car it will go to Japan, Korea or Germany.

If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan or Washington DC.

And little of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in
America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or
spend it on prostitutes, domestic brewed beer, or tattoos, since those
are the only businesses still in the US.

How is it that people elect idiots to positions of control over our lives(like marrying the wrong control freak)...is the majority of this country that Stupid(aka silly)?? ...and look the house passed it.
The House on Wednesday evening passed an $819 billion economic stimulus package Wednesday on a party-line vote, despite President Obama's efforts to achieve bipartisan support for the bill.
The final vote was 244 to 188. No Republicans voted for the bill, while 11 Democrats voted against it.

The Senate is likely to take up the bill next week.

Deep Thought of the Day: I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.

Written by an Australian Dentist


To Kill an American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)

'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish , Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be C anadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian , or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than

in Afghanistan.The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.


An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness..

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.


When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!


As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.

The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America


Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11 , 2001 e arning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo , and Stalin , and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world.. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.

Yes...I'm not saying anything about it till it's done. Still extremely early but I got the backing needed for the idea...doesn't mean it will do much, but you never know.... Now we have to come up with ideas for 10 episodes...already have 4.....

Ok this is funny My New clock..he hasn't really had time to screw things up yet....has anybody seen where this stimulus package thing is suppose to go?? I heard it on the radio this morning. I think it's bad enough that we have to print more money while driving inflation up and losing value of the dollar even more. Where some of it's going doesn't even make sense...

Hall of Fame class not in love with this Guy...I remeber him playing seemed like he was there forever, sad that they haven't even taken a punter in to the HOF yet....Just not big enough and exciting names I guess.
