    A man goes into a bar and drinks beer.
    After every glass of beer he pulls a picture out of his pocket and looks at it.
    After the 4th beer the waiter asks him why after every glass of beer he pulls the picture out and looks at it.

    Then the man says:
    It's a picture of my wife.
    When she looks good to me, I'm going home.

    That is an example of the "The Power of Beer."

        River,
        I had a socially responsible mutual fund once. While other funds were gaining in the double digits, it was losing money.

                Husband Store



                A store that sells new husbands has opened in
                New York City, where a woman may go to choose
                a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:



                You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are
                six floors and the value of the products increase
                as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or
                may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!



                So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to

                find a husband. On the first floor the sign
                on the door reads:



                Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs



                She is intrigued, but continues to the second
                floor, where the sign reads:



                Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.



                'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'



                So she continues upward. The third floor
                sign reads:



                Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
                and are Extremely Good Looking.



                'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to
                keep going.



                She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:



                Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
                are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.



                'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'


                Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:



                Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
                are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.



                She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the
                sixth floor, where the sign reads:



                Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.



                PLEASE NOTE:

                To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.



                The first floor has wives that love sex.



                The second floor has wives that love sex
                and have money and like beer.



                The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have
                never been visited.
                Hide not your talents.
                They for use were made.
                What's a sundial in the shade?

                - Benjamin Franklin

                  Now that 2011 is down the drain, I want to
                  thank you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally
                  screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

                  I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper
                  towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without
                  worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

                  I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only
                  imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

                  I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been
                  driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking
                  one's nose.

                  Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I
                  can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over
                  the years.

                  I can't touch any woman's handbag for fear she has placed
                  it on the floor of a public toilet.

                  I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS for the email about rat poo
                  in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with
                  every envelope that needs sealing.

                  ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for
                  the same reason.

                  I can't have a drink in a bar because I fear I'll wake up
                  in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.

                  I can't eat at KFC because their chickens are actually
                  horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

                  I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell
                  like a water buffalo on a hot day.

                  THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get
                  answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish
                  within five minutes.

                  BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola
                  because it can remove toilet stains.

                  I no longer buy gasoline without taking someone along to
                  watch the car, so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when
                  I'm filling up.

                  I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it
                  causes seven different types of cancer.

                  AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of water
                  in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face,
                  disfiguring me for life.

                  I no longer go to the movies because I could be pricked
                  with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

                  I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will
                  drug me with a colgne sample and rob me.

                  And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask
                  me to dial a number for which I will get a huge phone bill with calls
                  to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan .

                  THANKS TO YOU I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because
                  a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant
                  death when it bites my butt.

                  AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can't ever pick up a penny
                  dropped in the parking lot because it was probably placed there by a
                  sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

                  I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get
                  bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.

                  Now, if you don't copy this post and e-mail it to at least 144,000 people
                  in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your
                  head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon and the fleas from 120 camels
                  will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this
                  will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door
                  neighbor's ex mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's best friend's
                  beautician . .

                  Oh, and by the way.....

                  A German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study,
                  has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read these
                  posts with their hand on the mouse.

                  Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

                  P. S. I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because
                  I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the
                  toilet.

                  NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DAY and A HAPPY 2012

                    Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day, Mary my wife and I went into town and visited a shop.

                    When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
                    He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
                    I called him an "asshole" . He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

                    So Mary called him a "shit head". He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
                    Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

                    Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home. We always look for cars with "OBAMA 2012" stickers. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

                      Spin-doctoring

                      Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California, was doing some personal
                      work on her family tree. She discovered that Senator Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was
                      hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy Wallman and Harry Reid
                      share this common ancestor.

                      The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory:

                      On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse
                      thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times.
                      Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

                      So Judy e-mailed Senator Reid for information about their great-great uncle.


                      The senator's staff sent back the following biographical sketch:


                      "Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include
                      acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning
                      in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his
                      dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned
                      Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in
                      his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

                                If you live in Florida, you can do it every day.
