 Love has no place in a lawyer's office. --- Elizabeth Aston, Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away... if your car could go straight upwards. ---Sir Fred Hoyle Here's something to think about: How come you never see a headline like 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? --- Jay Leno (1950 - ) The average person thinks he isn't. --- Father Larry Lorenzoni One fool can ask more questions in a minute than twelve wise men can answer in an hour. --- Nikolai Lenin ________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!  ______________________________________________________ There was a Russian, a German and a Swiss at an industrial trade fair and having a beer after answering silly questions all day. The Russian said that their rubber soles are so good that a guy, who fell off a roof of a house, did not even break a leg. The German replied he knew of a case where a man wearing his comany's boots jumped off a burning 5-story building and lived to tell the tale. The Swiss had to counter that. He told of a suicider, who had jumped off a 10 story building and kept bouncing back up. After three days they had to shoot him down, so that they could sweep the sidewalk. _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ A boy had reached four without giving up the habit of sucking his thumb, though his mother had tried everything from bribery to reasoning to painting it with lemon juice to discourage the habit. Finally she tried threats, warning her son that, "If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is going to blow up like a balloon." Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then said to her, "Uh-oh ... I know what *you've* been doing." ______________________________________________________ Thanks to Linda for this picture:   _____________________________________________________

 A friend of mine was visiting a college, which had those security call boxes every few hundred feet. If you were wandering around the campus at night and felt uneasy about somebody following you, for instance, you could hit the button and have a security officer come investigate im- mediately. One of these phones had a sign that said, "Out of Order." Underneath it someone had scrawled, "Keep Running!"

 Waiting for our aerobics class to begin, several of us were standing around in our leotards chatting about fitness and diets. One woman said that her brother-in-law had quit smoking, gone on a diet and lost weight all at the same time. Thinking to myself that no human being could possibly do this without acquiring at least one other undesirable habit for compensation, I jokingly asked her, "What did he start doing instead of these things?" After a slight pause, she smiled and said, "Well, my sister is pregnant now." ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Pet ID Tags Make sure all of your pets have an ID tag with your current contact information on it, just in case.
