Russ and Sam, two friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems.

One day Russ didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something.. But after Russ hadn't shown up for a week or so, Sam really got worried. However, since the only time they ever got together was at the park, Sam didn't know where Russ lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him..

A month had passed, and Sam figured he had seen the last of Russ, but one day, Sam approached the park and-- lo and behold!--there sat Russ! Sam was very excited and happy to see him and told him so. Then he said, 'For crying out loud Russ, what in the world happened to you?'

Russ replied, 'I
ve been in jail.'

'Jail!' cried Sam.
What in the world for?'

'Well,' Russ said, 'you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where I sometimes go?'

'Yeah,' said Sam, 'I remember her. What about her?

'Well, one day she filed rape charges against me; and, at 89 years old, I was so proud that when I got into court, I pled 'guilty'.

'The damn judge gave me 30 days for perjury.'

Hello Phil and friends. I don't know if this one will make you laugh but it will sure make you smile. Guaranteed. :)

THIS IS A TERRIFIC STORY
Puppy Size
This is one of the neatest stories you will ever hear.
You will know precisely what this little girl is talking
about at the end (you'll want to share this one
with your loved ones and special friends)!
'Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again.
We've been back to this animal shelter at least five
times. It has been weeks now since we started all
of this,' the mother told the volunteer.
'What is it she keeps asking for?' the volunteer asked.
'Puppy size!' replied the mother
'Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking
for..' 'I know..... We have seen most of them, ' the mom said
in frustration...
Just then Danielle came walking into the office
'Well, did you find one?' asked her mom.
'No, not this time,' Danielle said with sadness in her voice.
'Can we come back on the weekend?'
The two women looked at each other, shook their heads
and laughed 'You never know when we will get more dogs.
Unfortunately, there's always a supply,' the volunteer said.
Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door.
'Don't worry, I'll find one this weekend,' she said.
Over the next few days both Mom and Dad had long
conversations with her. They both felt she was being too
particular. 'It's this weekend or we're not looking any more,'
Dad finally said in frustration.
'We don't want to hear anything more about puppy
size, either,' Mom added.
Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on
Saturday morning . By now Danielle knew her way around,
so she ran right for the section that housed the smaller dogs.
Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at the
end of the first row of cages. There was an observation
window so you could see the animals during times when
visitors weren't permitted.
Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling
periodically to take a closer look.. One by one the
dogs were brought out and she held each one.
One by one she said, 'Sorry, but you're not the one.'
It was the last cage on this last day in search of the
perfect pup. The volunteer opened the cage door and
the child carefully picked up the dog and held
it closely. This time she took a little longer.
'Mom, that's it! I found the right puppy!
He's the one! I know it!' She screamed with joy.
'It's the puppy size!'
'But it's the same size as all the other puppies
you held over the last few weeks,' Mom said.
'No not size... The sighs. When I held him in
my arms, he sighed,' she said. 'Don't you
remember? When I asked you one day what
love is, you told me love depends on the sighs of
your heart. The more you love, the bigger the sigh!'
The two women looked at each other for a moment.
Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
As she stooped down to hug the child, she did a little
of both.
'Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and
Daddy come home from work and hug each other,
you both sigh. I knew I would find the right puppy if it
sighed when I held it in my arms,' she said. Then,
holding the puppy up close to her face, she said,
'Mom, he loves me. I heard the sighs of his heart!'
Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love
that makes you sigh. I not only find it in the arms of my
loved ones, but in the caress of a sunset, the kiss of the
moonlight and the gentle brush of cool air on a hot day…
They are the sighs of God. Take the time to stop and
listen; you will be surprised at what you hear.
'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by
the moments that take Our breath away.'
I hope your life is filled with Sighs!!!
Appreciate every single thing you have,
especially your friends! Life is too short and
friends are too few.
Love the people who treat you right and
forget about the ones who don't.

Hello My Friends,

Thank You Myrna, Amanda & Mary Evelyn for stopping by and for leaving me a Smile or two. After this Weekend, I think we all could quite possibly use a Smile.

It's been a few slow days for me this past week and as I am apt to do whenever thing slow down, I start pondering on some of the "hard" questions of life...

  • What hair color do they put on the drivers license of a bald man?

  • If a mime swears does his mother wash his "hands" with soap ?

  • Whose cruel idea was it to spell the word "lisp" with an "s"

  • Why do you drive on a Parkway and park on a Drive way?

  • Why do your feet smell and your nose runs?

  • If "Con is the opposite of "Pro" is " Congress " the opposite of" Progress"

  • Why is it called 7-11 if it's open 24 hours

  • If convenient stores are open 24 hours, why is there locks on the doors?

  • Why do they call it Minute Rice when it takes 10 minutes to boil?

  • If olive oil is made out of olives, what is baby oil made of?

  • Why do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?

  • Why do drive up ATM's have Braille on them?

  • If a pig loses it voice is it "disgruntled"?

  • If a pig is sold to the pawn shop, is it considered a hamhock?

  • If ignorance is bliss why aren't more people happy?

  • If Wal-Mart is lowering prices everyday how come nothing is free yet?

  • How can there be self help groups?

  • Why aren't there any grapes or nuts in grape-nuts?

  • Can a storm be designated a tornado without touching down in a trailer park?

  • May I refuse to inherit the earth?

  • If Superman is so smart why does he wear his underpants over his trousers?

  • How do you get off a non stop flight?

  • How come wrong numbers are never busy?

  • What's the speed of dark?

  • How does a thermos know whether a drink should be hot or cold?

  • If aliens are smart enough to travel through space why do they keep abducting the dumbest people?

  • If we're not supposed to eat late night snacks why is there a light in the refrigerator?

  • Why is it when we ship something by truck we call it a shipment, but if we send something by ship it's called a cargo?

  • Why doesn't your body slam up against the back of a plane when you jump up?

  • If babies are so cute when they're born, how come half of them grow up to be ugly old men?

  • Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick?"

  • If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

  • Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

  • Why do psychics have to ask for your name?

  • If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?

  • Is it really an optical illusion, or does it just look that way?

  • Can a person without eyebrows show surprise?

  • Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed ?

  • Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery" ?

  • Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin ?

  • Why is "abbreviated" such a long word ?

  • Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips ?

  • Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour ?

  • Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse?

  • Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

  • If it's zero degrees outside today and it's suppose to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

  • You know most packages say "open here". But, what should you do if the package says " open somewhere else?"

  • If buttered toast always lands buttered side down and cats always land feet first, what would happen if you tied a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat ?

  • What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way ?

  • Why is there an eject button on the remote control ( u still gotta get up n take the tape out )

  • Why is "abbreviated "such a long word?

  • Why is it rain drops but snow falls?

  • If you have a bunch of "odds and ends" and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

  • Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend ?

  • Why does Hawaii have interstate highways

  • Why is it called a "T.V.set". and you only get one?

Now folks, be honest, haven't you ever wondered?

Have A Happy Week My Friends,

Phil

Hello Phil & Friends,

Just got this in an email from my Carolina Cousin. The picture is not included but you can get the idea:

HEALTH MESSAGE (please, give me a break)

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I quickly realized that I don't really give a rat's ass. It's the tortoise life for me!
1. If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn't run and does nothing, yet it lives for 450 years.
And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.
I'm retired. Go around me!

Hi Phil and friends, here's a short one that cracked me up. See what you think. :)

Two cannibals are sitting around the fire after dinner.
The first cannibal, "Man your old lady sure does make a mean roast."
The second cannibal,"Yeah I know..but I'm sure gonna miss her."
