Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh! Am I driving?"

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals..
LMAO

An 88 year old man goes to his doctor fearing he's having a heart attack. The doctor comes back with the results and tells him "Mr. Jones, you don't look good. You need to follow my specific instructions if you don't want to end up back in here in a week." A week later, the doctor sees Mr. Jones walking down the sidewalk with a beautiful 22 year old woman on his arm and a big smile on Mr. Jones' face. The doctor is astonished: "What are you doing????" The old man answers, "Just following doctor's orders...you said to get a hot mama and be cheerful!" The doctor answers back, "No, no! I said you have a HEART MURMUR...be CAREFUL."

An Amish boy and his father were in a Mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, 'What is this, Father .... ?' The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life. I don't know what it is.' While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a large old lady in a wheelchair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out. The father said quietly to his son..... 'Go get your mother.'

If you have raised kids (or been one), and gone through the pet syndrome, including toilet flush burials for dead goldfish, the story below will have you laughing out LOUD! Overview: I had to take my son's lizard to the vet. Here's what happened: Just after dinner one night, my son came up to tell me there was "something wrong" with one of the two lizards he holds prisoner in his room. "He's just lying there looking sick," he told me. "I'm serious, Dad. Can you help?" I put my best lizard-healer expression on my face and followed him into his bedroom. One of the little lizards was indeed lying on his back, looking stressed. I immediately knew what to do. "Honey," I called, "come look at the lizard!" "Oh, my gosh!" my wife exclaimed. "She's having babies." "What?" my son demanded. "But their names are Bert and Ernie, Mom!" I was equally outraged. "Hey, how can that be? I thought we said we didn't want them to reproduce," I said accusingly to my wife. "Well, what do you want me to do, post a sign in their cage?" she inquired. (I think she actually said this sarcastically!) "No, but you were supposed to get two boys!" "Yeah, Bert and Ernie!" my son agreed. "Well, it's just a little hard to tell on some guys, you know," she informed me. (Again with the sarcasm!) By now the rest of the family had gathered to see what was going on. I shrugged, deciding to make the best of it. "Kids, this is going to be a wondrous experience," I announced. "We're about to witness the miracle of birth." "Oh, gross!" they shrieked. We peered at the patient. After much struggling, what looked like a tiny foot would appear briefly, vanishing a scant second later. "We don't appear to be making much progress," I noted. "It's breech," my wife whispered, horrified. "Do something, Dad!" my son urged.. "Okay, okay." Squeamishly, I reached in and grabbed the foot when it next appeared, giving it a gentle tug. It disappeared. I tried several more times with the same results. "Should I call 911?" my eldest daughter wanted to know. "Maybe they could talk us through the trauma." (You see a pattern here with the females in my house?) "Let's get Ernie to the vet," I said grimly. We drove to the vet with my son holding the cage in his lap.. "Breathe, Ernie, breathe," he urged. The vet took Ernie back to the examining room and peered at the little animal through a magnifying glass. "What do you think, Doc, a C-section?" I suggested scientifically. "Oh, very interesting," he murmured. "Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, may I speak to you privately for a moment?" I gulped, nodding for my son to step outside. "Is Ernie going to be okay?" my wife asked. "Oh, perfectly," the vet assured us. "This lizard is not in labor. In fact, that isn't EVER going to happen. . .Ernie is a boy. You see, Ernie is a young male. And occasionally, as they come into maturity, like most male species, they um . . um . . . [censored]. Just the way he did, lying on his back." He blushed, glancing at my wife. We were silent, absorbing this. "So, Ernie's just, just . .. . excited," my wife offered. "Exactly," the vet replied, relieved that we understood. More silence. Then my vicious, cruel wife started to giggle. And giggle. And then even laugh loudly. Tears were now running down her face. "It's just ... that ...I'm picturing you pulling on its . . . its. . teeny little . . " She gasped for more air to bellow in laughter once more. "That's enough," I warned. We thanked the vet and hurriedly bundled the lizard and our son back into the car. He was glad everything was going to be okay. "I know Ernie's really thankful for what you did, Dad," he told me. "Oh, you have NO idea," my wife agreed, collapsing with laughter. Two lizards: $140. One cage: $50. Trip to the vet: $30. Memory of your husband pulling on a lizard's winkie: Priceless! Moral of the story: Pay attention in biology class. Lizards lay eggs!

A great list to help you make it through the week
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history and your emails if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. Just how the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5, as I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
7. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died, and who they were with at the time.
8. Bad decisions make good stories.
9. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment in your day when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of that day.
10. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after BlueRay? I don't want to have to restart my collection...AGAIN!!
11. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
12. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
13. I hate leaving my house confident and looking really good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day, what a waste!
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than with Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto and/or Barrio" routing option, plus "Hazardous Parking Areas" for taggers or high risk of vehicle being stripped/stolen.
18. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
19. I would rather try to carry 10 grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries from the car into the house.
20. Sometimes I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
21. How many times do you suppose it is OK to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear, understand or you just weren't paying attention to a word they just said?
22. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting into your lane. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
23. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
24. Is it just me or do teenagers get dumber and dumber every year?
25. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going down after leaning your chair back just a tad too far....
26. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
27. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket or purse, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, pitch black, first time, even in a strange motel room, every time! (YEP!)
Now isn't it a great little list. . .

Homeless Man's Funeral -
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. Since he had no family or friends and the brief, state-financed service was to be held at a pauper's cemetery in southeastern Oklahoma back-country, I volunteered to play for nothing because my heart went out to this lonely man to whom life had been so cruel.
Since I was not familiar with the backwoods area of Oklahoma , I got lost; and being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late.... and saw the funeral director had already left because the hearse was nowhere in sight.
There were only the backhoe and digging crew left at the site.... and they were eating lunch when I drove up. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being an hour late for the ceremony. I went to the side of the grave and looked down. The vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played my heart and soul out for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before because I felt a deep sadness for this homeless man who at least deserved some bit of honor and recognition of his passing.
And as I played 'Amazing Grace' straight from my gut with a haunting power and beautiful sound I've never experienced, the workers began to weep. They wept; I wept; we all wept together as I played. When I finished, I plucked a nearby wildflower, tossed it on top of the concrete vault, packed up my bagpipes and silently headed back toward my car.
Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "Sweet Jesus, I never seen or heard nothin' as beautiful and touching like that before.... and I've been puttin' in septic tanks for twenty years".

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires... 'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'No.' The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies. 'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.' The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. 'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy. Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!' The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked...
'Yes,' cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!' The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt. Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney. And so the Lord let her keep him. The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it. Signed, All Us Women
