You get what you get when you're too stubborn to ask for help!
A young minister was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.
The minister was not familiar with the backwoods area, and became lost! And being the typical man, he did not stop for directions. He finally arrived an hour late. He saw the backhoe and the crew, who were eating lunch, but the hearse was no where in sight.
He apologized to the workers for his tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where he saw the vault lid already in place. He assured the workers he would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch.
He poured out my heart and soul. As he preached, the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and "Glory." He preached, and he preached, like he'd never preached before: from Genesis all the way to Revelation. He closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to his car.
As he was opening the door and taking off his coat, he overheard one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Statistics
Subject: Statistics
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic.
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112
deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.

Reminds me of ABC: "This is Howard K. Smith with the nightly casualty report," and wondering if my cousin was one of them. This is combined with, "...and the WAG estimate of both North Vietnamese and Viet Cong casualties are..."
Of course, WAG meant Wild *** Guess.
This is not politics. This is history. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Hey, Brassdad - love the haircut. My dad had a perfect flattop like yours when he was in the National Guard. Occasionally I get one also. The last time I got one, it looked so good I had to tease my barber. The next time I went in I told him on the way home I got stopped at a construction site. Oh?, he asked. I said, Yeah, they wanted to use me as a level!

1st woman: This is my oldest son Maleek. He blew himself up and is a martyr. This is my Saadeer, my second son. He blew himself up and is a martyr. And here is my baby, Ackmed. He blew himself up and is a Martyr as well.
2nd woman: Ah, yes, they blow up so fast.

An accountant, an engineer and a trumpet player got to talking about how pets resemble their owners. To test it out, they each got their dog and put a pile of bones in front of them. The accountant's dog started by pawing the bones into a row one by one and sniffing each of them. The engineer's dog did just the opposite, pawing them into a pile and walking around it. The trumpet player's dog then ate the bones, screwed the two other dogs and left.

It's a shame to see bans on smoking include smoking a pipe. The pipe is the perfect thing: It gives the wise person time to think and the idiot something to stick in his mouth.
