Thought for the day . . . There is more money being spent on
breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This
means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with
perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to
do with them.
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa . "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake.

An elderly gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane. At the French customs desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked, sarcastically. The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."

Bob, a 70-year-old, extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25 year- old blonde who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm.
She hangs onto Bob's arm and listens intently to his every word. His buddies at the club are all aghast. At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, "Bob, how did you get the trophy girlfriend?"
Bob replies, "Girlfriend? She's my wife!"
They're amazed, but continue to ask. "So, how did you persuade her to marry you?"
"I lied about my age", Bob replies
"What, did you tell her you were only 50?" Bob smiles and says, "No, I told her I was 90."

She showed the group a lively hillside where many goats were grazing "These" she explained "are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce." She then asked, "What do you do in America with your old goats?"
A spry old gentleman answered, "They send us on bus tours!

Drinks on a flight....
A Muslim was seated next to an Australian on a flight from London to Melbourne .
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Aussie asked for a glass of wine, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the Muslim if he would like a drink.
He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by a half a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips."
The Aussie then handed his drink back to the attendant and said........
"Me too. I didn't know we had a choice."

Three guys -- a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden, and an American engineer are walking together one day.
They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
"I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes total" says the Genie.
The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will >also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada."
Pooooof! With a blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.
Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want an impenetrable wall around Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran with all believers of Mohammad inside and all Jews, Americans, and other infidels forever outside our precious state.
"Pooooof! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.......
The American engineer asks, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall".
The Genie explains, "Well, it's 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds these countries........ it's virtually impenetrable.
Now what is your wish?"
The American engineer smiles and says.... "Fill it with water."
Pooooof.....

Blue Pill
An elderly gentleman went to the local drug store and asked the Pharmacist for the little blue pill.
The pharmacist asked "How many?"
The man replied, "Just a few, maybe a half dozen. I cut each one into Four pieces."
The pharmacist said, "That's too small a dose. That won't get you Through intimacy.
The old fellow said, "Oh, I'm past ninety years old and I don't even think about intimacy much anymore.
I just want it to stick out far enough so I don't pee on my new golf shoes."
The Ohio Cow
The only cow in a small town in Arkansas stopped giving milk. The
people did some research and found they could buy a cow up in Dayton
Ohio, for $200.00.
They bought the cow from Ohio and the cow was wonderful. The cow
produced lots of milk all of the time, and the people were pleased and
very happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more
cows so they would never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow.
However whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move
away.
No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from
the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the Vet, who was very
wise, what to do.
They told the Vet what was happening.
"Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away.
If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.
When he approaches her from the front, she backs off.
An approach from the side and she walks away to the other side."
The Vet thinks about this for a minute and asked,
"Did you buy this cow in Ohio ?"
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they
bought the cow.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said. "How did you know we got the cow
in Ohio ?"
The Vet replied with a distant look in his eye, "My wife is from Ohio."
Italian Boy's Confession
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. It has been a week since my
last Confession, here is my sin: I have been with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Johnny Parisi?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation."
Well, Johnny, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you
may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Volpe?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, Johnny
Parisi, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You
cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave
yourself."
Johnny walks back to his pew, and his friend Nino slides over and
whispers, "What'd you get?"
"4 months vacation and five good leads."
I rear ended a car a few days ago...I tell you, It was a REALLY bad day!
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
He looked up at me and said "I am NOT Happy!"
So I said, "Well, which one of the 7 ARE you then?"
Didn't Know That.. not really jokes, but interesting stuff
Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called "pygg". When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as "pygg banks." When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a bank that resembled a pig. And it caught on.
Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches, while pennies and nickels do not?
A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren't notched because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave..
Q: Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's clothes have buttons on the left?
A: When buttons we re invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's right. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. And that's where women's buttons have remained since.
Q Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?

Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?
A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink.

A: In France , where tennis first became popular, a big, round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called "l'oeuf," which is French for "egg." When tennis was introduced in the US, Americans pronounced it "love."
Q: In golf, where did the term "Caddie" come from?
A. When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education & survival), Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot game "golf." So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into "caddie."
