Hello everyone, it is actually Friday. :) Helen my reply about the Texan was that I think most men look at women to be their servant (in more ways than one) so that is what I meant when I said I thought it was universal. Don't you agree? :) Here's one I got in my inbox today. Out of the mouth of babes.

to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the

sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother

said they would have been better off eating beans.

15) - My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What

he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.

Hi Evelyn

Yes, I know what you mean now. But can you imagine a man worrying about
a few wrinkles in his shirt when he is being propositioned? Somehow, it just
doesn't reach into my imagination.

Your explanation ruined everything. Actually when you said "It's universal, I
think", I thought you meant it was universal that they are stupid. It cracked me up.

I am going to keep what I originally thought you meant. It was too good.

I liked the kids' notes.

The Four Cats

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer,

the second man was an Accountant,

the third man was a Chemist, and

the fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat,

'T-square, do your stuff.'

T-square pranced over to the desk,

took out some paper and pen and promptly

drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better.

He called his cat and said,

'Spreadsheet, do your stuff.'

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies.

He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good!

But the Chemist said his cat could do better.

He called his cat and said,

'Measure, do your stuff.'

Measure got up, walked to the fridge,

took out a quart of milk,

got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard

and poured exactly 8 ounces

without spilling a drop into the glass.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the

Government Employee and said,

'What can your cat do?'

The Government Employee called his cat and said,

'Coffee Break, do your stuff.'

Coffee Break jumped to his feet.......

ate the cookies..... ..

drank the milk.......

sh-t on the paper.......

screwed the other three cats.......

claimed he injured his back while doing so.......

filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions.......

put in for Workers' Compensation. ......... .....and

went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.

AND THAT, MY FRIEND,

IS WHY HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE RUN BY

THE GOVERNMENT!!
