Breakfast Special

  The $2.99 Special

  

 

If you are a Senior you will understand this one, 

if you deal with Seniors, this should help you 

understand them a little better, 

and if you are not a Senior yet........ 

God willing, someday very soon you will be one.

You will certainly get a big 

laugh about that senior video!

We went to breakfast at a  restaurant where the 'seniors'  special' was two eggs,  bacon, hash browns  and toast for $2.99.   'Sounds good,' my wife said,  'But I don't want the eggs..'   'Then, I'll have to charge  you $3.49 because you're  ordering a la carte,' the  waitress warned her.   'You mean I'd have to pay  for not taking the eggs?'  my wife asked incredulously.   'YES !' stated the waitress.   'I'll take the special then,'  my wife said..   'How do you want your  eggs?' the waitress asked.   'Raw and in the shell,'  my wife replied.

She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.

 

DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS !

  

WE'VE been around the block more than once!

The light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

  ~  

    

The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection... dropping her cell phone 

because she was talking to a friend. 

  ~  

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up... 

  ~  

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. 

  ~  

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. 

  ~  

I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally... 

I assumed you had stolen the car."

Poem Worth Reading

A Poem Worth Reading

   

 











   
He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For ol' Joe has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.

He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life.

He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?

The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.

While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.

It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?

Or would you want a Soldier
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.

He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his likes again.

For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline
In the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."
  ~  
PLEASE pass On The Patriotism! 
YOU can make a difference.

If you are proud of our Vets, 
then send this on, 
that others may honor
them. You'll be glad you did.

Wal-Mart Shopper

 Finally a well dressed
Wal-Mart shopper

     

    

Just a housewife out 

shopping in Alaska .

     

No permit required in Alaska 

for either open (must be 18) carry,

or concealed (must be 21) carry.

     

CHECK THEIR CRIME RATE, 

LOWEST IN OUR NATION?

     

  .   

Why would that be?  

  .  

NOT one school shooting either.

  ~   

 

HOW COME?

How come no one ever told us?

  ~  

You’ve probably been ignoring this feature.

   

  

 

Most aluminum foil boxes have press-in tabs 

that secure the roll in place, so you don’t 

have worry about it flying out every time 

you rip off a sheet.

   ~   

You’ve been dispensing Tic Tacs the hard way.

   

   

                           

                      

You know how when you violently shake a container of 

Tic Tacs into your palm it seems as though you always 

end up with zero or seven? Avoid that altogether by 

letting a mint gently glide into the tiny lid crevice

 

   ~   

 

You haven’t been using ketchup cups to their full potential.

  

   

Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, 

simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.

 

  ~  

 

Chinese takeout containers are actually 

made to fold out into plates.

    

     

 

The containers actually are meant to unfold 

into a makeshift plate, which you can easily 

reassemble into a box for storing leftovers.

   ~   

Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half.

  

 

    ~        

Chances are you’ve been scooping the 

toppings with your spoon onto the yogurt.

  

   

                      

But, have you realized, the topping holder folds over, 

so you can pour the toppings DIRECTLY ON TOP?

  ~   

You’ve probably been placing toilet 

seat covers in the wrong direction.

   

   

 

The flap is meant to be placed toward the front. 

This prevents the agony of sitting down on a toilet seat, 

only to realize you’ve dragged the cover down into the bowl.

  ~   

Soda tabs double as straw holders.

   

   

 

Turn the tab around so that it acts as holder that can stop the straw from raising out of the can as the soda fizzes.

  ~   

 

You probably don’t realize it, but your pots come with built-in spoon rests.

   

   

 

      ~              

Soft-drink lids can double as coasters.

Lady Plumber

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive. Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids. 

 

  

Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

  ~  

During her time of doing this, she managed to Smuggle out and save around 2500 kids/infants. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

  

 

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard and after the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the families. Most had been gassed and those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

  ~  

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming. Later another politician, Barack Obama, won for his work as a community organizer for ACORN.

  

 

In MEMORIAM - 65 YEARS LATER I'm doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you'll consider doing the same. It is now more than 65 years since the Second World War in Europe ended.

  ~  

This message is being sent as a memorial in memory of the 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, 6 million Jews, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated! Now, more than ever, with Iran, and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be 'a myth', it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

  

 

This message is intended to reach 40 million people Worldwide! Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Please send this message to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial.
