Alittle known fact....
The first testicular guard ("Cup") was used in hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.
That means it took 100 years for men to realize their brain was also important.....

Punny stuff indeed!
1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
4. A dyslexic man walked into a bra.
5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm, and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."
6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
7. "Doc, I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home."
"That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome."
"Is it common?"
"Well, It's Not Unusual."
8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field.
Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning.."
"I don't believe you," says Dolly.
"It's true; no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.
10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I couldn't find any.
12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident..
He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!"
The doctor replied, "I know, I amputated your arms!"
13. I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel.
14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"
16. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Not surprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked.
"Because," he said. "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
18. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt , and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
19. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
20. A dwarf, who was a mystic, escaped from jail. The call went out that there was a small medium at large.
21. And finally, there was the person who sent 20 different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least 10 of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in 10 did.

funny bit.
God said, 'Adam, I Want you to do Something for Me.'
Adam said, 'Gladly, Lord, what do You Want me to do?'
God said, 'Go down nto that valley.'
Adam said, 'What's a Valley?'
God explained it to Him. Then God said, 'Cross the river.'
Adam said, 'What's a River?'
God explained that To him, and then said, 'Go over to the hill....'
Adam said, 'What is a Hill?' So, God explained to Adam what a hill was.
He told Adam, 'On The other side of the Hill you will find a Cave.'
Adam said, 'What's a Cave?'
After God explained, He said, 'In the cave You will find a woman.'
Adam said, 'What's a Woman?'
So God explained That to him, too. Then, God said, 'I Want you to Reproduce.'
Adam said, 'How do I do that?'
God first said (under His breath), 'Geez.....' And then, just like Everything else, God Explained that to Adam, as well.
So, Adam goes down Into the valley, Across the river, and Over the hill, into the Cave, and finds the
Woman. Then, in about five Minutes, he was back.
God, His patience Wearing thin, saidAngrily, 'What is it Now?'
And Adam said....
'What's a headache?

cool stuff, made my day.
finally got some mail at the house after sending out a bunch of letters. It was from my bestest friend Jessica.
The cool part was her kids ages 3 (the one who gave me my mantra) and 6 wanted to draw me a picture each. Way cool. one's a dinosaur and the other is undetermined at this time. lol. They drew the pictures because they know I moved far away and they miss me coming over to read them stories. I miss them too. I have a soft spot for kids.Getting the letter brightened my day and the pictures even more so. I feel good today. She also sent me 10 dollars and joking said it was for chocolate. So that's what I spent it on! Hey, she said that's what it was for, who am I to argue? lol.

joke from dad
THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED. THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.
A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, 'THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE.. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.'
THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH. NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.. SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END. THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.
THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID..........WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT.....I'M GETTING A FAX!!

movie things and other stuffs.
My halloween was awesome. first time in years I didn't dress up too. went to my nephews and helped him take his little ones trick or treating they are 2 and 1. it was a blast. exactly what I needed to lift me out of my doldrums as I had been feeling soemwhat depressed and angry for a few days at the time.
I'm compiling a list of some of my favorite scenes/lines from various movies as they pop into my head. They are numbered but not neccessarily in any particular order
1. (Star Wars ep. 4 )- the scene where luke breaks into leia's cell on the death star and says "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you". something about this scene, I don't know what.
2. (Planes,Trains,and Automobiles) 2 scenes where steve martin and john candy are driving down the highway - "you're going the wrong way" & then the scene with the deer coming alive and the car ends up in flames. This whole movie I could go on and on about. My favorite comedy of all time.
3. (Planet of the Apes - the original) - 2 scenes from this one as well. "get your stinking paws off me,you damn dirty ape" and, of course, the Statue of Liberty scene at the end. Great stuff.
4. ( Star Trek - the 1st movie) - the scene where Spock finally rejoins the Enterprise. I'm somewhat of a nostalgic person and always liked this scene. Probably the only good one in a movie that otherwise sucked.
5. (Young Frankenstein ) - the scene where the camera pans across a shelf of various jars and heads,etc. and the you see Marty Feldman's bug-eyed face. funny stuff.
6. (Raiders of the Lost Ark) - Indiana Jones facing off with the big guy waving a sword around. Having had enough, he just pulls out his gun and shoots him. very funny.
7. (Rocky II) - at the end when Rocky has won and makes his speech,ending it with "yo adrian, I did it. has been parodies a lot over the years but at the time was a good scene, emotional, achieving something that nobody thought he could do.Don't we all like proving people wrong soemtimes?
8.(Blazing Saddles - back when Mell Brooks was still funny) - The chase between the sheriff and harvey korman ends up going into a theater showing Blazing Saddles- I found it hilarious at the time, still do.
9. (Superman - the 1978 version) - scene where Clark Kent is running down the road looking for a place to change into his superman suit and stops to glance over one of those half sized phone booths always gives me a chuckle.
10. (Star Wars ep6) - Anakin,having gone fully to the dark side and been defeated in battle by obi-wan, finally transforms into the darth vader we know and love and dons the black suit for the first time. tres cool.
11. (Tommy Boy) - Chris Farley trying to fix car door after backing into a pole and knocking it off it's hinges and then asking david spade "what did you do" when he tries to open the door and it falls off. Farley and Spade made a good comedy team, something movies today lack too many of.
12. (Friday the 13th pt 2) - before Jason put on the hockey mask (pt3) he had a pillow case hiding his features. In part two there is a scene where a girl finds his cabin and is looking around in horror and in the background through the window you can see Jason running up the path towards the cabin. eerie stuff.
13. (Steel Magnolias) 2 scenes - not sure who says it to her but one of the casts says to Shirley Maclaine (who is fantastic in this movie) "you are evil and should be destroyed" love it! and this movie. The other scene is after teh funeral and all th eladies are at gravesite and sally field is starting to cr and Olympia dukakis grabs shirley maclaine, turns her toward sally field and tries convincing her that everything will feel better if she just basically kicks the crap out of her. great (sad)-tension breaking moment. for a movie without aliens,things blowing up,or serial killers running amok,this movie is awesome.
14. (Babe the pig) - this scene always makes me cry. where the farmer tells Babe "that'll do pig, that'll do" watch this movie and don't cry at this part. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!.
15. (Evil Dead 1)- scene where one of the possessed girls grabs a pencil and stabs another girl in the ankle with it and starts twisting it around. ugh. it gives me the heebie jeebies. i usually have to look away.
okay, that's all for now, almost out of time at the library. more next time.
