Yes, we are "international" here in Deep East Texas. Another indicator - When an empty beer doubles as a spit can and an ashtray. Just don't forget which one you are drinking out of.

Thanks CubDave - it's one of my favorites - actually it's a real deep thought.
A student approached his spiritual teacher, bowed in respect and asked: "What is the secret of life?"
The teacher replied, "Good judgment."
The student bowed again and asked, "How do you get good judgment?"
The teacher said, "Experience."
The student bowed one more time and queried, "And how does one get experience?"
The teacher replied, "Bad judgment!"

This requires no deep thought at all (I'm deep thoughted out this week!) Twelve things to do at Wal-Mart while your spouse/other is taking his/her sweet time: 1. Pick up odd items (like cans of fish balls or tubes of Preparation H) and put them in peoples' carts when they aren't looking. 2. Set all the alarm clocks in housewares to go off at five minute intervals. 3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor to the rest rooms. 4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, "There's a Code 3 in housewares." and see what happens. 5. Go to the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away. 6. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone? 7. Look right into the security camera and use it as a mirror while you pick your nose. 8. Dart around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the theme from 'Mission Impossible.' 9. In the auto department practice your Madonna look using different size funnels. 10. Hide in the clothing rack and when people browse through say 'PICK ME! PICK ME!' 11. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker assume the fetal position and scream 'NO! It's those voices again!' 12. Go into a fitting room and yell real loud, "Ah, we're out of toilet paper in here!"

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Subject: FW: Comments on Hillarys new book
"Hillary's got this huge book, it's a memoir of her life and times at the White House. In the book she says when Bill told her he was having an affair, she said 'I could hardly breathe, I was gulping for air.' No, I'm sorry, that's what Monica said." -"David Letterman
"Hillary Clinton's book hits the stores this Monday. Oh boy, it took her a long time to write it. But in her defense, every time she tried to use the desk, Bill was always using it for a date." -"Jay Leno
"Hillary Clinton's 506-page memoirs comes out next week. So much of her personality shines through, that in the end, you'll want to sleep with an intern." -"Craig Kilborn
"In Hillary Clinton's new book 'Living History,' Hillary details what it was like meeting Bill Clinton, falling in love with him, getting married, and living a passionate, wonderful life as husband and wife. Then on page two, the trouble starts." -"Jay Leno "
"Hillary Clinton has finished her memoirs for publication next year, while Bill has barely finished the first chapter. Well, in all fairness, Fiction is a lot harder to write." -"Jay Leno
"Hillary Clinton, our junior senator from New York, announced that she has no intentions of ever, ever running for office of the President of the United States. Her husband, Bill Clinton, is bitterly disappointed. He is crushed. There go his dreams of becoming a two-impeachment family." -"David Letterman
"Last night, Senator Hillary Clinton hosted her first party in her new home in Washington. People said it was a lot like the parties she used to host at the White House. In fact, even the furniture was the same." -"Jay Leno
"Senator Hillary Clinton is attacking President Bush for breaking his campaign promise to cut carbon dioxide emissions, saying a promise made, a promise broken. And then out of habit, she demanded that Bush spend the night on the couch." -"Late, Late Show host Craig Kilborn
"Hillary Clinton is the junior senator from the great state of New York. When they swore her in, she used the Clinton family Bible. You know, the one with only seven commandments." -"David Letterman
"CNN found that Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America. Women admire her because she's strong and successful. Men admire her because she allows her husband to cheat and get away with it." -"Jay Leno

Fish Balls are a Norwegian thing. In Norway Fish Balls or fiskeboller/fisk-a-ball-ahr/ are served as a quickie every day meal. They're horrible mind you...but they're always available. I think they are also a Jewish food, spelled differently, but just as horrible tasting Lovely suprise in the bag when you get home. Now for those tricks...Have any of you ever done soemthing that goofy in a grocery/retail store? I must admit...I've slipped a couple of items in unsuspecting carts in my day on a bet.... Then there was the bet we had that involved an english cucumber...but I can't repeat that here LOL I won $200 bucks just to buy a $1.99 vegie Of course I had to ask the clerk some pointed questions about it....but it was a bet...and I'll do anything on a bet!

Thanks Dawnie! You would not believe (or maybe you would) how many strange looks and wise-cracks I got when I asked around the Bank this morning! Nobody would take me serious that I really wanted to know what they were! Thanks for the lesson! MarkB

A radio station in our area has people call in early in the morning, once they are on the air, the station sends them somewhere to do a prank, which usually involves Wal-Mart. One guy went inside and declare,"I declare this a soveriegn nation, and I am the KING!!" The guy had to keep yelling this inside the store, it was great to listen to.
