Thanks to Jim Markusen for passing this one along to us.

Subject: Golf and its meaning

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer.

          ***********************************************
Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right.

          *****************************************************
The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.

          *************************************************** **
Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls.

          *****************************************************
If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble.

          *****************************************************
Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.

          ******************************************************
The term 'mulligan' is really a contraction of the phrase 'maul it again.'

          *****************************************************
A 'gimme' can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ...neither of whom can putt very well.

          *****************************************************
An interesting thing about golf is no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse.

          *******************************************************
Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it,hit into all the traps, and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.

          *******************************************************
If your best shots are the practice swing and the'gimme putt', you might wish to reconsider this game.

          *******************************************************
Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.

          *******************************************************
Golf is like marriage:  If you take yourself too seriously it won't work, and both are expensive.

          ********************************************************
The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.

          ********************************************************

Proud to be an American!!!

Mary Jo Walther sent along this report: 

A study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a Year.

That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be An American!!!!

Another view of dieting from JR:

For those of you who  watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health.

It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting  nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese  eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat  and suffer fewer heart  attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red  wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The  Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of  sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you  like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.


April 11, 2008

You know JR loves his food.  Here's his idea for a diet!

ITALIAN PASTA DIET -- IT REALLY WORKS !!

1.. You walka pasta da  bakery.
2.. You walka pasta da candy store.
3.. You walka  pasta da Ice Cream shop.
4.. You walka pasta da table and da  fridge.


You will lose weight!

A few items shared by Ron Dentinger:

•A congressman resigned suddenly last week, marking the first time in history that anyone in Congress did anything suddenly.

•Q:  What's the difference between Congress and Kindergarten?  A:  In Kindergarten there's adult supervision.

•At a nice ocean-side hotel in Miami I noticed a bug on the bathroom floor, and I called the front desk to complain.  The desk clerk apologized and said, "Don't be too upset.   That's Florida."  I said, "You give them names?"

In honor of Valentine's day, here's a little REDNECK romance story.

Redneck Vacation
 
          Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when
          Billy Bob tells Luther, "Ya know, I reckon I'm 'bout ready
          for a vacation. Only this year I'm gonna do it a little different.
          The last few years, I took your advice about where to go."
 
          "Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to
          Hawaii and Earlene got pregnant.

          "Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas ,
          and Earlene got pregnant again.

          "Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene
          didn't get pregnant again."

          Luther asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year
          that's different?"

          Billy Bob says, "This year I'm taking Earlene with me."

Louise Cannizzaro sent this story along for your enjoyment.

A six year old goes to the hospital with his grandma to visit his grandpa.  When they get to the hospital, he runs ahead of his grandma and bursts into his grandpa's room.

"Grandpa, Grandpa," he says excitedly, "as soon as
Grandma comes into the room, make a noise like a frog!"

"What?" said his grandpa.

"Make a noise like a frog because grandma said that as soon as you croak, we're going to DISNEYWORLD!!!"

Burial at Sea
Two Irish brothers Mick and Paddy have made a promise to their uncle.  They had an Uncle Seamus who was a seafaring gent
all his life and before he passed away, he made the boys promise to bury him at sea.
 
When he did pass away and the "boys" remembered to keep their promise.
 
So off they set with Uncle Seamus all stitched up in a burial bag and loaded onto their rowing boat.
After a while Mick says, "Do yer tink dis is fer enuff out, Paddy?"
 
Without a word Paddy slips over the side only to be standing in water up to his knees.  "Dis'll never do Mick, let's row some more".
 
After a bit more rowing Paddy slips over the side again but the water is only up to his belly, so on they row.
 
Again Mick asks Paddy, "Do yer tink dis is fer enuff out Paddy?"
 
Once again Paddy slips over the side and almost immediately says, "No dis'll neva do".  The water was only up to his chest.
 
So on they row and row and row when finally Paddy slips over  the side and disappears!
 
Quite a bit of time goes by and poor Mick is really getting himself into a state when suddenly Paddy breaks the surface
gasping for breath.
 
"Well is it deep enuff yet, Paddy?"
 
"Aye it tis!  Can yer hand me da shovel."

Here's another golf story from JR Markusen for your enjoyment:

Police are called to an apartment and find a woman holding a bloody 5
iron standing over a lifeless man. The detective asked,

"Ma'am, is that your husband?"

"Yes," says the woman.

"Did you hit him with that golf club?"

"Yes, yes, I did." The woman began to sob, dropped the club, and puts
her hands on her face.

"How many times did you hit him?"

"I don't know, five, six, maybe seven times... just put me down
for a five. "

KNOW YOUR GETTING OLDER WHEN:


You know all the answers but nobody asks you any questions.

You get winded playing checkers.

You need a fire permit to light all of your birthday candles and you need oxygen after blowing them out.

You order Geritol on the rocks.

You sink your teeth into a thick steak and they stay there!

You stop to think and forget to start again.

You don't need an alarm clock to get up with the chickens.

The only whistles you get are from the tea kettle.

A fortune-teller wants to read your face.

You finally get it all together, but can't remember where you put it.

You pray for a good prune-juice harvest.

Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

You feel like the morning after, and you haven't been anywhere.

Your little black book contains only names ending with M.D.

You look forward to a dull evening.

You need your glasses to find your glasses.

You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.

Your knees buckle, but your belt won't!

You have too much room in the house, and not enough in the medicine chest!

Virus Alert

This virus is called Weary-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK).  If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

Here's a cute golf story sent along by JR Markusen:

A young man and a priest are playing together. At a short par 3 the
priest asks, "What are you going to use on this hole my son?"

The young man said, "An 8 iron, father.
How about you?"

The priest said, " I'm going to hit a soft seven and pray."

The young man hit his 8 iron and put the ball on the green.

The priest topped his 7 iron and dribbled the ball out a few yards.

The young man said, "I don't know about you father, but in my church
when we pray, we keep our head down."

Ron Dentinger sent this timely bit of investment advice:

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it  would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.


Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called: The 401-Keg Plan

Jim Markusen sent this quick one dealing with Golf:

A gushy reporter told Phil Mickelson, "You are spectacular and your name
is synonymous with the game of golf. You really know your way around the course. What's your secret?"
Mickelson replied, "The holes are numbered."

I came across this handy Q&A regarding Health Insurance.  I thought you might find it useful.

MEDICAL INSURANCE EXPLAINED 
 

Q. What does HMO stand for?
A. This is actually a variation of the phrase, "HEY MOE."  Its roots go back to a concept pioneered by Moe of the Three Stooges, who discovered that a patient could be made to forget the pain in his foot if he was poked hard enough in the eye.
 
Q. I just joined an HMO .  How difficult will it be to choose the doctor I want?
A. Just slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your insurer will provide you with a book listing all the doctors in the plan.  The doctors basically fall into two categories: those who are no longer accepting new patients, and those who will see you but are no longer participating in the plan.  But don't worry, the remaining doctor who is still in the plan and accepting new patients has an office just a half-day's drive away and a diploma from a third world country.
 
Q. Do all diagnostic procedures require pre-certification?
A. No. Only those you need.
 
Q. Can I get coverage for my preexisting conditions?
A. Certainly, as long as they don't require any treatment.
 
Q. What happens if I want to try alternative forms of medicine?
A. You'll need to find alternative forms of payment.
 
Q. My pharmacy plan only covers generic drugs, but I need the name brand .  I tried the generic medication, but it gave me a stomachache.  What should I do?
A. Poke yourself in the eye.
 
Q. What if I'm away from home and I get sick?
A. You really shouldn't do that.
 
Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my problem .   Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant right in his/her office?
A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the $20 co-payment, there's no harm in giving it a shot.
 
Q. Will health care be different in the next decade?
A. No, but if you call right now, you might get an appointment by then.

Here's a Riddle for you:

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.  On your left side is a 'drop off', (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you.  In front of you is a galloping horse, which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it.  Behind you is a galloping zebra.  Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you.  What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc. 'Get a hot mamma and be

Catholics in Las Vegas
 
This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic churches there than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed.
 
Since they get chips from so many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her
own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man grandmother.
Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to
see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if
they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty
leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also Why
we shouldn't step on "cracks."
They don't say, "Hurry up."
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
They have to answer questions like "why isn't God married?" and "How
come dogs chase cats?"
When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the
same story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have
television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with
us.
They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers
with us every time, and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
A 6 YEAR OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA LIVED. ''OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''
It's funny when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their
dog."

Thoughts to Ponder:

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.  Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?
Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Since it's Sunday, here are some cute Church Sign-board sayings:


CHURCH SIGN BOARDS:

"CHURCH CAR PARK - FOR MEMBERS ONLY," "Trespassers will be baptized!"

"Free Trip to heaven." "Details Inside!"

"Try our Sundays." "They're better than Dairy Queen's".

"Searching for a new look?" "Have your faith lifted here!"

"People are like tea bags" -- "you have to put them in hot water before you
know how strong they are."

"How will you spend eternity" "Smoking or Nonsmoking?"

"It is unlikely there'll be a reduction in the wages of sin."

"Do not wait for the hearse to take you to church."

"If you're headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns."

"If you don't like the way you were born, try being born again."

"Looking at the way some people live," "they ought to obtain eternal fire
insurance soon."

"This is a ch_ _ ch." "What is missing? - (U R)"

"Running low on faith?" "Step in for a fill-up."

"If you can't sleep, don't count sheep." "Talk to the Shepherd."

"Come work for the Lord." "The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay
is low. But the retirement benefits are out of this world"

An ad for one Church has a picture of two hands holding stone tablets on
which the Ten Commandments are inscribed and a headline that reads, "For
fast, fast, fast relief, take two tablets."

When the restaurant next to another Church put out a big sign with red
letters that said, "Open Sundays," the church reciprocated with its own
message: "We are open on Sundays, too."

AND THE WINNER ! - ON THE PASTOR'S PARKING SPOT -

"PASTOR'S SPOT" "YOU PARK, YOU PREACH"
