Grammie Made Me Wear It

[glock rocks]

[Mo1]

True .. but They aren't the only ones with the hit pieces

That's why George Bush and Joseph Lieberman can talk about their faith with impunity. Faith is part of who they are rather than something they dust off at election time. The same was true of Jimmy Carter, but not of Bill Clinton, who brought out the Bible only when his tear ducts needed priming.

LOL! I like the way she writes.

[Gabz]

Here's an oldie but a goodie that just showed in my email............



In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces.

"The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask,

"Why is the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."





SEND THIS TO A SMART WOMAN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH AND TO THE MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT

[Gabz]

I don't know if I have one that will work.

NYC GOP Chick said the one she saw was too small to work with.

Graceland Tours

Celebrating Elvis' life - 25th anniversary of
the King's death is mostly parties, parades

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/734172/posts

Excerpt:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Death anniversaries tend to be somber affairs, as we remember those we loved and admired.

There's no parade in Dallas on Nov. 22. Ceremonies in New York on the day John Lennon was killed, or here in Memphis on the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, are tearful and melancholy.

In the land of Elvis, things are different.

"Sure, it's sad that he's gone," says Fred Chamberlain, a 39-year-old fan. "But we're treating this as a happy occasion. As time goes on, we look at it differently. This is a way of projecting all the happiness he left for us."

Mr. Chamberlain seems to be a good representative of the tens of thousands of people packed into Memphis this week to mark the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977. He's come a long way (from London) at considerable personal sacrifice (he's a school caretaker of modest income) and has gone to lengths that probably seem excessive to nonbelievers (a big Elvis tattoo has adorned his arm since age 16).

50,000,000 hits can't be wrong

20 years after his death, Elvis is King of the Web

From CNN Interactive Writer Andy Walton

Elvis has left the building for good, but twenty years after his death, The King is alive and well on the World Wide Web.

If you've ever had a hankerin' -- and, let's face it, who hasn't? -- to climb into a white satin jumpsuit, scarf a couple of fried banana sandwiches, and try a few karate kicks, the Web might provide just the right outlet. One that won't worry your friends and neighbors quite so much, at least.

I'll be back in a bit ... Carly's bugging me AGAIN

She says it's her turn on the computer

[glock rocks]

In the beginning God covered the earth with

broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach, green, yellow,

and red vegetables of all kinds; so Man and Woman

would live long and healthy lives.




Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben

and Jerry's and Krispy Kreme. And Satan said, "You

want hot fudge with that?"



And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "I'll have

another with sprinkles." And lo they gained 10

pounds.


And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman

might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And

Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and

sugar from the cane, and combined them. And Woman

went from size 2 to size 10.


So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan

presented crumbled Bleu Cheese dressing and garlic

toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened

their belts following the repast.


God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy

vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And

Satan brought forth deep fried coconut shrimp,

butter dipped lobster chunks and chicken-fried steak

so big it needed its own platter. And Man's

cholesterol went through the roof.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his

Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan

came forth with a cable TV with remote control so

Man would not have to toil changing the channels.

And man and woman laughed and cried before the

flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging

suits.


Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in

fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced

the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in

animal fats and added copious quantities of salt.

And Man put on more pounds.


God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume

fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And

Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double

cheeseburger. Then Lucifer said, "You want fries

with that?" and Man replied, "Yes! And super size'

em!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into

cardiac arrest.


God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.


And Satan created HMOs.
