        My youngest son works on the ferry boat that shuttles passengers from the mainland to the island. My older son had this guy for sculpture class at art school. I knew about the plane crash and also about the sculptor living on the island but never realized he was the hero that saved the young boy.

          Hey Brother Can Ya Spare a Job?

          John Smith started the day early having set his alarm


          clock

          (MADE IN JAPAN )

          for 6 am.
          While his

          coffeepot

          (MADE IN CHINA )


          was perking, he shaved with his


          electric razor

          (MADE IN HONG KONG .)


          He put on a


          dress shirt

          (MADE IN SRI LANKA ),



          designer jeans

          (MADE IN SINGAPORE )

          and

          tennis shoes

          (MADE IN KOREA )


          After cooking his breakfast in his new


          electric skillet

          (MADE IN INDIA )



          he sat down with his


          calculator

          (MADE IN MEXICO )


          to see how much he could spend today. After setting his

          watch

          (MADE IN TAIWAN )

          to the

          radio

          (MADE IN INDIA )


          he got in his

          car

          (MADE IN GERMANY )

          filled it with

          GAS

          (from Saudi Arabia )


          and continued his search



          for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

          At the end


          of yet another discouraging

          and fruitless day

          checking his


          Computer

          (Made In Malaysia ),

          Joe decided to relax for a while.

          He put on his

          sandals

          (MADE IN BRAZIL )


          poured himself a glass of

          wine

          (MADE IN FRANCE )



          and turned on his

          TV

          (MADE IN INDONESIA ),


          and then wondered

          why he can't find

          a good paying job

          in AMERICA ..

          Y'all gotta Keep this one circulating, please!

              Five surgeons from big cities are discussing who makes the bestpatients to operate on.

              The first surgeon, from New York, says, "I like to see accountants
              on my operating table because when you open them up, everythinginside is numbered."

              The second, from Chicago, responds, "Yeah, but you should try
              electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."

              The third surgeon, from Dallas, says, "No, I really think
              librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order"

              The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles chimes in: "You know, I like
              construction workers...Those guys always understand when you have afew parts left over."

              But the fifth surgeon, from Washington, DC shut them all up when he
              observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on.There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and thehead and the ass are interchangeable.

                    Funny Bumpersticker !

                    A man was driving a HUGE BLACK highly polished Cadillac Escalade , obviously an individual NOT concerned with carbon footprint, cap & trade , tree huggers or none of that nonsense. On the rear bumper a brightly colored sticker read , AMERICA'S 3 ASSHOLES OBAMA PELOSI REED"
                    I drove up to him at the next light , rolled down my window and said. "Sir aren't you worried that the environmental Gestapo may scratch or damage your vehicle" His reply was "Fuc* EM LOCK AND LOAD I'm ready" Obviously he was not a man who worried about possible repercussions! I gave him the Thumbs Up , we both laughed .......and he proceeded to drive away!

                          Make The Woman HAPPY!

                          For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works.

                          Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the Woman happy.. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.

                          Here is a guide to the points system:

                            I am not paying my federal income tax !

                            Finally a man who stands up to all the hypocarcy and BS ......YOU GO ED We are all with you!

                            "Dear IRS,

                            I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.

                            I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting licence tax, fishing licence tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle licence registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can't recall but I have run out of space and money.

                            When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.

                            P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

                            Ed Barnett "

                              Leasing Makes Sense

                              Now that I see it presented below ......Yes indeed LEASING does make sense ! LOL

                              Purchasing




                              The math on the Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce is as follows:

                              After 5 years of marriage, he paid her $49 million.

                              Assuming he got sex every night during their 5 year relationship

                              it ended up costing him $26,849 per time.



                              This is Heather.

                              On the other hand, New York Governor Elliot Spitzer's hooker,

                              Kristen, an absolute stunner with a body like no other,

                              charges $4,000 an hour. For anything!



                              This is Kristen.




                              Had Paul McCartney "employed" Kristen for 5 years,

                              he would have paid $7.3 million for an hour of sex every

                              night for 5 years (a $41.7 million savings).

                              Value-added benefits are: a 22 year old hot babe, no begging, no coaxing, never a
                              headache, plays all requests, no bitching and complaining or 'honey-do'
                              lists. Best of all, she leaves when you're done, and comes back when
                              asked. All at 1/7th the cost, and no legal fees.

                              Sometimes leasing just makes more sense.

                                The financial crisis explained in simple terms.

                                Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Berlin. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers - most of whom are unemployed alcoholics - to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans).
                                Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar.
                                Taking advantage of her customers' freedom from immediate payment constraints, Heidi increases her prices for wine and beer, the most-consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively.
                                A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit.
                                He sees no reason for undue concern because he has the promissory notes of Heidi's customers as collateral.
                                At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert bankers transform these customer assets into DRINKBONDS, ALKBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then sold and traded on markets worldwide. No one really understands what these abbreviations mean and how the securities are guaranteed. Nevertheless, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become top-selling items.
                                One day, although the prices are still climbing, a risk manager of the bank, (subsequently fired due his negativity), decided that the time has come to start demanding payment from Heidi for the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's bar.
                                Unfortunately Heidi's customers cannot pay back any of their debts to Heidi.
                                Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations to the bank and claims bankruptcy.
                                DRINKBOND and ALKBOND drop in price by 95 %. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by only 80%.
                                The suppliers of Heidi's bar, having granted her generous payment terms and also having invested in the securities are faced with a new and desperate situation. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy and her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor.
                                The bank is saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the governing political parties. They came up with a miraculous rescue plan that saved the bank.
                                The funds required for this massive rescue are obtained by levying a new tax on all the non-drinkers.
