She was given the name of a Florida realtor, who enthusiastically drove her all over Miami, extolling the virtues of every apartment they looked at. "And this one, what a steal," he rhapsodized, "the investment of a lifetime. Why, in ten years it's gonna be worth three times..." "Sonny," interrupted Mrs. Harris, "at my age I don't even buy green bananas." ____________________________________________________ When you have an "I Hate My Job" day, try this. On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson and Johnson. Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and lie down on your bed. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken. Take out the literature and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement, "Every rectal thermometer made by Johnson and Johnson is personally tested". Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times: "I am so glad I do not work for quality control at Johnson and Johnson." HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS WORSE THAN YOURS! ____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ >From Lindy "My Husband and I Married for Better or Worse.......

According to police, officers took a complaint on Sept. 30 from a woman who said her 80-year-old mother-in-law was the victim of larceny after sending large amounts of money through an internet/phone scam. Police said the victim was persuaded to send money to unknown individuals for the benefit of helping the homeless. The victim then sent gift cards to suspects totaling $13,500 and an $18,000 money order to a suspect later identified as Dexter Enweren, 34, of 29 Ward St., Norwich. Police allege Enweren is part of a Nigerian phone scam crime organization. Enwerem was charged with first-degree larceny and held on a $50,000 bond pending his arraignment.

I am just one of the first people, who actually paid for it. And no, there is no free alternative. It is too cheap to make it worth building a competitive program.

Germans who gave the world Kindergarten may now give the world Maennergarten - a sort of Kindergarten for men - as a service to women who want to shop. For about $15, Maenner- garten provides men with two beers, a hot meal, sports on television and games to play - like a remote car or a race track, Britain's Sky News reports. "The women are issued a receipt for their partners when they hand them in and can pick them up again when they return it to us later," says Alexander Stein, manager of a Maennergarten. According to Stein, the idea came from a female customer who was too stressed shopping with her husband and wanted a way she could shop in peace. | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ Nancy Reagan tells the story of how President Ronald Reagan was once challenged by a college student who said it was impossible for Reagan's generation to understand his. "You grew up in a different world," the student said. Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers..." Taking advantage or a pause in the student's litany, Reagan said, "You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young. We invented them." ____________________________________________ In Washington, a pair of crooks recently robbed a Starbucks restaurant. They didn't find enough money in the safe, so they proceeded to work the drive-thru window for half an hour. They sold 10 lattes, five cappuccinos -- and made $26,000." --- Jay Leno ____________________________________________ The following is from a 1950's Home Economics textbook intended for the High School girls, teaching how to prepare for married life. 1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed. 2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift. 3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. 4. Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. 5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him. 6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. 7. Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind. 8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first. 9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax. 10. The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax. Unfortunately, none of today's women have ever heard about that silly stuff, that might lead to 40 - 50 year marriages. ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
