Codename
Obama‘s Insulting U.K. Codename’Chalaque’ is Scotland Yard‘s codename for the president on his U.K. visit, but what does it mean when translated?
*******************************
Before President Obama’s arrival in London, The Daily Mail ran a story under the headline “Codename ‘smart alec’: British police label Obama with ‘mildly offensive’ Punjabi word for visit to U.K.” Scotland Yard says its computers randomly picked a codename for Obama, “chalaque,” for his visit to the country. But the newspaper quoted a Sikh community leader saying the name is often used to “denigrate” someone. Yahoo News then picked up the story, featuring it on its homepage under the headline: “Obama Code Named ‘smart alec’ in Britain.”

President Obama Has No Idea What Year It Is
This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
“It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.”
Barack Obama
24 May 2008
Update: For those who find the European-style date suspicious, the Telegraph reports that a “Westminster Abbey spokeswoman confirmed it was the president who had written the wrong date.”

Japanese Red
Photo and caption by Judith Holford
These Japanese Red-crowned Cranes were seen at the Akan International Crane Centre in Hokkaido, Japan. One appeared to be the gatekeeper – pronouncing on whether the other two could pass. It captured a humorous moment with members of this endangered species which has been brought back from the edge of extinction by conservation measures.
UNLIKELY TRIO
They make an unlikely trio, but Baloo the bear, Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger have forged an unusually strong bond.
Considering that they would be mortal enemies if they ever were to meet in the wild, it is stunning to see their unique and genuine friendship in these intimate pictures.
Rescued eight years ago during a police drug raid in Atlanta, Georgia, the three friends were only cubs at the time at barely two months old.
They had been kept as status symbol pets by drug barons.
Delivered to the Noah’s Ark Animal Rescue Centre in Locust Grove, Georgia, the decision was made to keep the youngsters together, because of their budding rapport.
‘We could have separated them, but since they came as a kind of family, the zoo decided to keep them together,’ said Diane Smith, assistant director of Noah’s Ark.
‘To our knowledge, this is the only place where you’ll find this combination of animals together.’
Living with the zoo’s founders for the past eight years, Shere Khan, Baloo and Leo have now moved to a purpose-built habitat where the US public can now witness first hand their touching relationships.
‘We didn’t have the money to move them at first,’ said Diane.
‘Now their habitat is sorted and they have been moved away from the children’s zoo areas where the public couldn’t really get a good look.
‘It is possible to see Baloo, who is a 1000lb bear, Shere Khan, a 350lb tiger and Leo, who is also 350lbs, messing around like brothers.
‘They are totally oblivious to the fact that in any other circumstance they would not be friends.’
Handled by Charles and Jama Hedgecoth, the zoo’s owners and founders, the three friendly giants appear to have no comprehension of their animal differences.
‘Baloo and Shere Khan are very close,’ says Diane.
‘That is because they rise early, and as Leo is a lion, he likes to spend most of the day sleeping.
‘It is wonderful and magical to see a giant American Black Bear put his arm around a Bengal and then to see the tiger nuzzle up to the bear like a domestic cat.
‘When Leo wakes up, the three of them mess around for most of the day before they settle down to some food.’
Surprisingly for three apex predators with the power to kill with a single bite or swipe of their paw, they are very relaxed around each other.
‘They eat, sleep and play together,’ said Jama.
‘As they treat each other as siblings they will lie on top of each other for heat and simply for affection.
‘At the moment, they are getting used to their new habitat.
‘Shere Khan is being quite reticent about the move, but Baloo, the bear, is very good at leading him on and making him feel comfortable and safe.’
Explaining that the three ‘brothers’ have always seemed to share a unique bond, Charles said: ‘Noah’s Ark is their home and they could not possibly be separated from each other.
‘You just have to remember who you’re dealing with when you are with them, though. ‘It’s when you forget that these fellows are wild animals that you get yourself in trouble.’
The trio’s new habitat had to be constructed carefully, in order to accommodate its occupants.
Jama said: ‘The clubhouse had to be very sturdy for the guys, because they all sleep in it together,’
She added: ‘We had to include a creek, because the tiger and the bear both like to be in water.’
Anticipation
Remember to obey the rules……
‘Rules Are Rules’
It was a normal day in Sharon Springs , Kansas ,when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek to Salina ..
The Bad news:
Just a few miles into the trip, a wheel-bearing became overheated, and
melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail,
creating white hot molten-metal droppings spewing down to the rail.
The Good news:
A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train, and
immediately stopped the train in compliance with the Union Pacific
Safety Rules.
The Bad news:
The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge, with
creosote ties and trusses.
The crew tried to explain to CEO ‘Higher-Ups’, but were
instructed NOT to move the train !
They were instructed ‘The Rules Book’ prohibits
moving the train when a part is defective !

Why parents get grey hair
The boss wondered why one of his employees was absent but had not phoned in sick. So he dialed the employee‘s home phone number and was greeted with a child‘s whisper.
‘ Hello ? ‘
‘Is your daddy home?’
‘ Yes, he’s out in the garden ,’ whispered the small voice. ‘
May I talk with him?’
The child whispered, ‘ No .’ ;
So the boss asked, ‘Well, is your Mommy there?’
‘ Yes, she’s out in the garden too ‘
& The boss asked; ‘May I talk with her?’
Again the small voice whispered, ‘ No .’
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, ‘Is anybody else there?’
‘ Yes.’ whispered the child, ‘ A policeman. ‘
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, ‘Well, may I speak with the policeman?’
‘ No, he’s busy. ‘ whispered the child.
‘Busy doing what?’
‘ Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the police dog men. ‘
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background, the boss asked, ‘What is that noise?’
‘ It’s a helicopter. ‘ answered the whispering voice.
‘What is going on there?’ demanded the boss, now truly worried.
‘ The search team just landed a helicopter. ‘
‘A search team?’ said the boss. ‘What are they searching for?’
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle, ‘ Me! ‘

Zsa Zsa’s rep John Blanchette confirmed she was admitted because her feeding tube was causing “bleeding … like a fountain.”
Blanchette added that her husband “was worried and hoped she wasn’t dying in front of his eyes.”
Sadly, von Anhalt confirmed on Wednesday that his 94-year-old wife has been unresponsive since 2am.

Happy Mothers Day
MY Mother
my MOTHER
Is gentle and kind.
She’s warm and helpful
and my best friend.
It took me awhile to
realize, you see,
Just how much I mean to her,
and her to me.
No one can replace her,
or fill the shoes she wears.
She calls me her
“Little Girl”,
but that’s ok;
There’s no better way to show
how she cares.
We’ve been shopping, riding or
having a ‘cocktail’ coffee break,
So many miles now separate;
we must dream of yesterdays.
She worries about me
as most mothers do;
So far away it’s hard to
express or convey
How much I Love her:
Today and Always.

*********************************************
With this I decided to inform the ‘friends & family’ on my
e-mail list about the fact that OUR Former President -George W. Bush
Had made a statement to Obama – and perhaps they had not seen or
heard it.
….:::So I wrote those with this:::….
Whether you like Obama or not — Whether you like Bush or not — I think that each of you would agree that we hated BIN LADEN and are happy that he is DEAD.
Maybe you did not hear or see all he said … so here it is…JUST for your INFO NOT Taking sides!
So whether you will agree with what President Bush said to President Obama OR WHAT I said as commenting as so many others did ….maybe you will JUST appreciate MY writing!
****
( as shown on news and found on his FB Page)****
then the information below was pasted
for their ‘VIEWING’
*********************************************
George W. Bush on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 11:55pm
** While I’ve not seen or heard the news report of the full response from Former President George W. Bush to President Obama – about the Killing/Death of Bin Laden – I thought why not share with you what he said – (and I’ve also included ((errors & all )) my comment along with so many others). **
May 1, 2011
“Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that
American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001. I
congratulated him and the men and women of our military and
intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission.
They have our everlasting gratitude. This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”
…..:My comment…..
“Congratulations should also go to the courage of this man George W. Bush for what he had to endure and carry on his shoulders. Proud to have backed President Bush for his enduring faith and his compassion, empathy & sympanthy during the days that brought the United States of America to her core. We were a United Nation then – (wish we were now) – One who fought for the Freedom that is suppoose to be the United States of American – the Land of the Free … We need that Freedom back. At least with this news we may feel it again – but be guarded against what may come. President George W. Bush Under pressure YOU prevailed. Now those men & women who you gave hope & love to when you visited will be joyous & thankful & yet continue to watch out for the USA…AND THOSE WHO lost loved ones on September 11th and the Armed Services of those killed or wounded since – for all who were involved can finally get (I hope) a solid good nights sleep.”

BELOW is a reply / commnet without naming from someone who is
here on dA ::: And remember the words of the E-Mail I sent out —-
…”JUST for your INFO NOT Taking sides!”…
“So whether you will agree with what President Bush said to President Obama OR WHAT I said as commenting as so many others did ….maybe you will JUST appreciate MY writing!” …. (pay attention to thes words and the last “”maybe you will just appreciate
MY writing!) …
NOW the person’s response………..
<><><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><>
Them – replying —
THEM-1}George W. Bush was a fool, and a lackey of the military industrial establishment. He lead this country into a futile and usless war in Iraq that cost thousands of AMerican lives and 100’s of thousands of Iraqi‘s lives. The taxpayers of this country will be paying for generations to make up for what this buffoon did. If he had kept his eye on the ball Osama Bin Laden would have been captured 10 years ago. Instead he was used as a “shill” so the defense contractors could reap huge profits. Wake up and grab a bit of REALITY if you see it floating by..
My Reply back
—–
ME-1}I was not looking for anyone being rude or hostile towards me……..
They replied back again —
THEM-2}WELL, then don’t say stupid things! 
Bush should be tried for treason, and then sent to the Hague for trial as a war criminal!
My Response to that —
ME-2}Stupid!!!!!!! – NOT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
As I stated it was not for one side or the other I wad in hope that SOMEONE would appreciate my writing
AGAIN They replied back again –also all of this was written by them in LARGE
format font! WHY I wonder! 
:
:They came back with this … ( which clearly they did not understand that
the writing was what I wanted … as I had/have not written in quite awhile ):
THEM-3}Maybe you wrote this in a state of some form of intoxication! Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld LIED to us. They did not “prevail”…They failed to prevail. The only ones who prevailed were the bomb and gun makers who prevailed by making BILLIONS of dollars. They were able to do that because foolish people like you can be lead like sheep. While Bush was standing on the deck of a ship wearing a flight jacket that he never earned, saying “Mission Accomplished”…Americans and Iraqi’s were dying…and this continued for years. War crimes like torture and kidnapping of innocent people happened and Bush justified it with no regard for the Consitiution or International law. Wake up and read rather than try to write that nonsense!
<><><><><>…..I’ve made NO response or reply back to this person!..NOR do I ever intend to!…..<><><><><>
Clearly this person – which I will not name – does not have any regard for first reading what the sending was/is asking ………First to inform them whether they knew about it / agreed with it or not with any party …. but to maybe appreciate the WAY I wrote it NOT what I wrote about … but how the writing was ….
************
NOW if you feel like commenting – do so – but it will be rare
if I respond to this Journal post! 
Deborah Register
And YES Bush should have been acknowledged!
MOST IMPORTANT
Remember all the fallen. Remember the Brave. Remember the 911. Remember today. REMEMBER ALL the Armed Forces joined together to get Bin Laden!

What am I to do with my afternoon Days!?
Stay away from my NOSE!
Nose – odd subject – but if you’ve ever had any type of nose surgery you can relate.
This may seem strange – but please just follow me here……
On the 23rd of March I had surgery on the nose – which actually started over a year ago when I had complained to a Doctor at Mayo Clinic about my unusual headaches – he did the usual EEG – MRI of my lower back which I also had told this doctor about with my back being ‘out of wack’ and needed checking (mind you he only did and MRI of the very lower back) and when I mentioned that my headaches were NOT migraine (I know what those are) it was not stress related – it was just ‘not’ a headache and that I felt an MRI of my brain )((which I have one Every Year)) and one was over due – HE Told me.. “You don’t need one – but I’ll do one if it will please you and you think you need it.”
Now forward fast to current – same hospital & Doctors location – was sent by another doctor here in town for 2nd opinion – from which this doctor I was sent to from another doctor in town who listened to me and my problems with not only my pain problems but the problem with understanding my back and my headaches……..THIS doctor is one who listened – sent me for EEG & MRI – (But not only just an MRI of the Back —- but the FULL BACK/SPINE – and included and FULL MRI of the Brain – and X-Ray of the lungs, and when the results came back – lungs fine….back/spine showed the displacement of my spine all UP & DOWN but also a tear in the lower spine ( the Lumbar / Cervical / Thurastic ) .. and then the MRI results of the BRAIN – – – said problem IN PART might be coming from a sinus infection!! —- so now do you see where this began and where it takes me?
This doctor understood – sent me to the doctor who confirmed – who in turn sent me to another doctor for a second oppinion (at Mayo Clinic) and he is the one who did this surgery!
HE did three surgeries on my nose and while my nose is still not to it’s normal state that Mom & Dad & I remember my ‘small’ nose to be … we had become so use to seeing each other every day that some things you just take for granted – like getting old ‘er’ and thngs change…but Mom & Dad had mentioned about my face to themselves….(come to understand that my face was swollen — the left side was full of infection under the cheek which is in part of the nose) ((and back a few months earlier my ‘new’ eye doctor found that I had eye infection -that is also another story)) — but all things within the face are somehow connected.
While I keep in mind that I am so improving – I must remember that this was originally scheduled for the 6th of April ( which was the day after Mom’s Birthday ’83’ ) and with the change – ON her birthday we had the Surgery 1st Follow-up .. and good results – then we were able to go on to dinner etc and enjoy the afternoon! … MOTHER has been such an angel in all this. The Nasal Irrigation which started the Saturday after the surgery Mom has done for me … and I’m so thankful & grateful for her being able to help me with this…..this is one part I just do not think that I could have done mysself…..
The surgery (as I mention) was moved up from the April 6th date to March 23 date – so the afternoon before when I had to rush things through and see the doctor he wanted to know if I knew exactly what he was going to do – I said NO – and did not want to know! — as things had been moved up (becuase before I had plently of time to read the info) … I had glanced 0ver the info …. and that was Enough …
So the Surgeries —-
1) Septoplasty 2) Turbinate Hypertrophy and Rhinitis 3) Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
If you’ve ever had NOSE surgery or know someone who has – Don’t bother their nose!
If you see something out of ‘place’ with the nose – check it!
So there you have it – why I’ve been lack in responding to your posts or posting much of anything!
- Deborah Register After Nose Surgery
While the picture above was taken yesterday you can certainly see the
improvement from the day of surgery!!! — But can you see some difference
in the face? It is NOT where I want it yet and the nose is still swollen – but
sooo much better than before – even the face appears not as swollen as the day before!

Donald Trump: Grandma Says
Obama Was Born in Kenya
“The grandmother in Kenya is on record saying he was born in Kenya,” Trump said. “The hospital has, not only no birth certificate — or if they have it they should produce it, maybe there is something on it, who knows — but they have no records that he was there.

Waking up with thoughts
Have you ever been awakening from a night’s sleep to know that you ‘found’ (that Perfect Something) wll mine was the perfect candy — when you just needed that taste – not toooo sweet – not really candy taste – but candy all the same? I did this morning – and I was discovering that – that perfect just a bite of candy is butterscotch!
I’ve been having these weird dreams of things since my surgery on the 23rd of March, and could that surgery have something to do with my remembering my dreams? They say everyone dreams (which I used to do a lot) – but not everyone remembers them.
Another dream I had was one talking to two ‘chaps’ about a eatery~! They were going to do the work & cooking, I was telling them how it was to be laid out – what the menu was going to be … etc…. down to the name of the place! “Artists Nook” … Only open Breakfast & Lunch Eggs – Fruit – Breads…Fun things to eat – but in a hurry – don’t worry – we’re ready! with specific things….(Yes I told them what that was to be too)…..
SEE the place would have delightful colorful artful dishes for breakfast – eggs benedict, fresh fruit, special breads, just to name one — then on the go with fruits & salads all fresh – like greens and rasberries, oranges with slice bread! At least I have the ideas! AND of course ther Artists works in a little ‘nook’ which most certainly would house some of my hand-painted glass. And making the dishes (to be quick) in my head and unique for all that would be coming!
So see these dreams are unusualy – weird & wonderful!
(( and I might add-Very Real )).
Interesting!
After reading this, you will never look at a deck of cards in the same way.
Here is a new way to look at a deck of cards!!
Please do not delete! You will be glad you didn’t.
It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn’t been heard.
The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week.
As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk.
Just then an army sergeant came in and said, ‘Why aren’t you with the rest of the platoon?’
The soldier replied, ‘I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord.’
The sergeant said, ‘Looks to me like you’re going to play cards.’
The soldier said, ‘No, sir . You see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country,
I’ve decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards.’
The sergeant asked in disbelief, ‘How will you do that?’
‘You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God.
The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments
The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John .
The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them were glorified.
The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth.
The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation.
The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives — the eight people God spared from the flood that destroyed the Earth.
The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him.
The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone.
The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of God’s first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell.
The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.
The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.
When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year.
There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week – 52 weeks in a year.
The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter..
Each suit has thirteen cards — there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.
So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for.’
The sergeant just stood there. After a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, ‘Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?’
Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line fighting
Prayer for the Military.
Please keep the wheel rolling. It will only take a few seconds of your time, but it’ll be worth it to read on….
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them.
Bless them and their families
I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our servicemen and women all around the world.
There is nothing attached, but this can be very powerful.
Of all the gifts you could give a Soldier, prayer is the very best one.
Do not stop the wheel, please — just send this on.
When forwarding, please keep this letter clean by deleting all forwarding information from the subject line and from the top of the letter.
In God I Trust!
THANK GOD EACH DAY FOR OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE SERVICE PROTECTING US WHERE WE CAN BE SAFE.
Tsunami Dog
Tsunami Dog Saved After 3 Weeks
Rescuers flying over an island of debris rescue a dog swept out to sea by Japan’s tsunami three weeks ago.
TOKYO — A dog that survived in a house swept away to sea three weeks ago by the devastating Japan tsunami was saved on Friday by a coast guard rescue team flying over an island of debris.
Local television showed an aerial view of a brown medium-sized dog trotting around the roof of the house — the only part of it floating above water — before disappearing inside through a broken section of the roof.
The coast guard rescuers, thinking there might also be people alive inside the house, lowered one of their team onto the roof.
He tried to coax the dog out, but then went in after tearing a wider opening. He came out with the dog in his arms and they were transported back to safety by boat.
Domestic media said no people were found inside the house.

From a Child
Things children will say…………
I was eating lunch today with my 14 year old grandson when his mom asked him “What is tomorrow?”
He said “It’s President’s Day”
She asked “What does that mean?” …. I was waiting for something profound…
He said “President’s Day is when Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow, we have 2 more years of unemployment.”

Pay Attention! Life is short….
Life is short….
I think there is a VERY PROFOUND message here!
How true is this one!!!!!
THE SITUATION
In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.
About 4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
At 6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
At 10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent – without exception – forced their children to move on quickly.
At 45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
After 1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
This experiment raised several questions:
*In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made . . ..
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?
Enjoy life NOW… it has an expiration date

The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
The price of Gas versus Printer Ink
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just
illustrates how outrageous some prices are….
You will be really shocked by the last one!
(At least, I was…)
Compared with Gasoline……
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 … $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ……….$9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ….. $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ……… $10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 …… $33.60 per gallon
Vick’s Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 … $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .. $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ……. . $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 ……$84.48 per gallon
And this is the REAL KICKER…
Evian water 9 oz $1.49..$21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for WATER and
the buyers don’t even know the source.
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?
So they have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of
the ink at……………
(you won’t believe it….but it is true……..) $5,200 a gal. (five
thousand two hundred dollars)
So, the next time you’re at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run
on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid,
Printer Ink!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the
pump…
And – If you don’t pass this along to at least one person, your
muffler will fall off!!
Okay, your muffler won’t really fall off…but, you might run out of
toilet paper.

This is the BEST LAWYER INSURANCE STORY OF THE YEAR
(You are invited to judge by yourself, however!).
This took place in Charlotte , North Carolina .
A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost “in a series of small fires.”
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
The lawyer sued and WON!
(Stay with me.)
Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable “fire” and was obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars that perished in the ‘fires’.
NOW FOR THE BEST PART . . .
After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
This true story won First Place in last year’s Criminal Lawyers Award contest.

I’m Fine…..How are you?
It is better to say “I’m fine” with a grin,
Than to let people know the shape we are in.
I’M FINE!! HOW ARE YOU?
There’s nothing the matter with me,
I’m just as healthy as can be,
I have arthritis in both knees,
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.
My pulse is weak, my blood is thin,
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.
All my teeth have had to come out,
And my diet I hate to think about.
I’m overweight and I can’t get thin,
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.
And arch supports I need for my feet.
Or I wouldn’t be able to go out in the street.
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I’m all right.
My memory’s failing, my head’s in a spin.
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.
Old age is golden I’ve heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder, as I go to bed.
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
And my glasses on a shelf, until I get up.
And when sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself,
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?
The reason I know my Youth has been spent,
Is my get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went!
But really I don’t mind, when I think with a grin,
Of all the places my get-up has been.
I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the obits.
If my name is missing, I’m therefore not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed.
The moral of this as the tale unfolds,
Is that for you and me, who are growing old.
It is better to say “I’m fine” with a grin,
Than to let people know the shape we are in.
I’M FINE!! HOW ARE YOU?
