       An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

GO!!! (scroll down slowly to uncover Q's and A's )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    First Question :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    You are a participant in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Answer : If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely WRONG! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, YOU are in second place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Try not to screw up next time. Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Second Question :&lt;br /&gt;    I f you overtake the last person, then you are...?&lt;br /&gt;    (scroll down)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Answer : If you answered that you are second to last, then you are ; ; ; ;WRONG again. Tell me Sunshine, how can you overtake the LAST person??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    You're not very good at this, are you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Third Question :&lt;br /&gt;    Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator.&lt;br /&gt;    Try it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 Now add 30 . Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000 . Now add 10 . What is the total?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Scroll down for the correct answer.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Did you get 5000 ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The correct answer is actually 4100 ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!&lt;br /&gt;    Today is definitely not your day, is it ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Maybe you'll get the last question right.... Maybe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Fourth Question:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono, and ? ?? What is the name of the fifth daughter?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't.&lt;br /&gt;    Her name is Mary!

She wanted to give him the&lt;br /&gt;feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she&lt;br /&gt;would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a&lt;br /&gt;distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would&lt;br /&gt;be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following&lt;br /&gt;behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew.&lt;br /&gt;She did this for the whole week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little&lt;br /&gt;friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do&lt;br /&gt;every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that&lt;br /&gt;lady following us to  school all  week?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know her?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Timmy nonchalantly replied,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Yeah, I know who she is.' The little girl said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Well, who is she?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'That's just Shirley Goodness,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Shirley Goodness? Who the heck is she and why is she following us? '&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm&lt;br /&gt;with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodness and Marcy shall follow me&lt;br /&gt;all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon&lt;br /&gt;you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift His countenance upon&lt;br /&gt;you,and give you peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May Shirley Goodness and Marcy be with you today and always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know you smiled!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sure did,  Pass this on and brighten someone's day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(thanks Paulette G.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.scripts/twitthis.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- document.write('&lt;a href="javascript:;" onclick="TwitThis.pop();"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.resources/twitthis_grey_72x22.gif" alt="TwitThis" style="border:none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;');&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- /End --&gt; To easily receive updates on new posts and funny stories, &lt;form method="post" action="http://feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?AddNewUserDirect"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="sub" value="388008" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter your Email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="EMAIL" maxlength="255" size="25" value="" type="text"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="FEEDID" value="388008" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="PUBLISHER" value="8431298" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe me!" type="submit"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f?previewfeed=388008"&gt;Preview&lt;/a&gt; | Powered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/"&gt;FeedBlitz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"&gt;&lt;img alt="Share/Save/Bookmark" src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.gif" border="0" width="171" height="16" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;a2a_linkname=document.title;a2a_linkurl=location.href;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Offbeatnewsandvideos

The man was enjoying the&lt;br /&gt;scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for&lt;br /&gt;years. He wondered where the road was leading them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the&lt;br /&gt;road. It looked like fine marble.. At the top of a long hill, it was broken&lt;br /&gt;by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that&lt;br /&gt;looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like&lt;br /&gt;pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the  gate, and as he got closer, he&lt;br /&gt;saw a man at a desk to one side.&lt;br /&gt;When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.. 'Wow! Would you happen to have&lt;br /&gt;some water?' the man asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right&lt;br /&gt;up.'The man gestured, and the gate began to open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler&lt;br /&gt;asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued&lt;br /&gt;the way he had been going with his dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a&lt;br /&gt;dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been&lt;br /&gt;closed. There was no fence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and&lt;br /&gt;reading a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Excuse me!' he  called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'There should be a bowl by the pump.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand&lt;br /&gt;pump with a bowl beside it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he&lt;br /&gt;gave some to the dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was&lt;br /&gt;standing by the tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'This is Heaven,' he answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said&lt;br /&gt;that was Heaven, too.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's&lt;br /&gt;hell.'&lt;br /&gt;'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks  who would leave their&lt;br /&gt;best friends behind.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soooo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing&lt;br /&gt;a word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this will explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do?&lt;br /&gt;You forward jokes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward&lt;br /&gt;jokes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you&lt;br /&gt;forward jokes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important,&lt;br /&gt;you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?&lt;br /&gt;A forwarded joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just&lt;br /&gt;another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your&lt;br /&gt;friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are all welcome @ my water bowl  anytime!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.scripts/twitthis.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- document.write('&lt;a href="javascript:;" onclick="TwitThis.pop();"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.resources/twitthis_grey_72x22.gif" alt="TwitThis" style="border:none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;');&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- /End --&gt; To easily receive updates on new posts and funny stories, &lt;form method="post" action="http://feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?AddNewUserDirect"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="sub" value="388008" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter your Email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="EMAIL" maxlength="255" size="25" value="" type="text"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="FEEDID" value="388008" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input name="PUBLISHER" value="8431298" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe me!" type="submit"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/f?previewfeed=388008"&gt;Preview&lt;/a&gt; | Powered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedblitz.com/"&gt;FeedBlitz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"&gt;&lt;img alt="Share/Save/Bookmark" src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.gif" border="0" width="171" height="16" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;a2a_linkname=document.title;a2a_linkurl=location.href;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Offbeatnewsandvideos

Damned good!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The preacher said, 'Thank you sir, but I'd rather you didn't use profanity.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man said, 'I was so damned impressed with that sermon I put five thousand dollars in the offering plate!'&lt;br /&gt;The preacher said, 'No shit?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pancakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brenda and Steve took their six-year-old son to the doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With some hesitation, they explained that although their little angel appeared to be in good health, they were concerned about his rather small penis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After examining the child, the doctor confidently declared, 'Just feed him pancakes. That should solve the problem.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast, there was a large stack of warm&lt;br /&gt;pancakes in the middle of the table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Gee, Mom,' he exclaimed.

The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, so, in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message and gave her the chicken legs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts. The butcher understood again and gave her some chicken breasts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to  communicate this, she brought her husband to the store...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial;"&gt;

At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither&lt;br /&gt;talk, nor read. So he shoots the dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited. "Where's Ol' Blue?

Hence the&lt;br /&gt;    phrase..'Goodnight , sleep tight' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(255, 129, 65);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ------------&lt;br /&gt;    --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------&lt;br /&gt;    ------ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    It was the accepted&lt;br /&gt;    practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the&lt;br /&gt;    wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with&lt;br /&gt;    all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because&lt;br /&gt;    their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the&lt;br /&gt;    honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(255, 129, 65);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ------------&lt;br /&gt;    --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------&lt;br /&gt;    ------ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In English pubs, ale&lt;br /&gt;    is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when&lt;br /&gt;    customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind&lt;br /&gt;    your pints and quarts, and settle down.' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    It's where we get&lt;br /&gt;    the phrase 'mind your P's and Q's'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(255, 129, 65);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ------------&lt;br /&gt;    --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------&lt;br /&gt;    ------ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Many years ago in&lt;br /&gt;    England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or&lt;br /&gt;    handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill ,&lt;br /&gt;    they used the whistle to get some service. 'Wet your whistle'&lt;br /&gt;    is the phrase inspired by this practice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(255, 129, 65);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ------------&lt;br /&gt;    --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------&lt;br /&gt;    ------ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    At least 75% of&lt;br /&gt;    people who read this will try to lick their&lt;br /&gt;    elbow!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(255, 129, 65);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ------------&lt;br /&gt;    --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------&lt;br /&gt;    ------ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Don't delete this&lt;br /&gt;    just because it looks weird.

Your reason for&lt;br /&gt;    not staying in touch with friends and family is that they&lt;br /&gt;    don't have e-mail addresses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    6.

Leaving the house&lt;br /&gt;    without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first&lt;br /&gt;    20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic&lt;br /&gt;    and you turn around to go and get it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    10.

Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ugly nasty talking woman stopped yelling long enough to say,'Hell no, they ain't twins!

You're not to see that woman again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put £50 in the poor box ..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He paused for a moment and then started to leave..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying; "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the £50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~&lt;br /&gt;There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession.   Upon entering the confessional, she said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest said, "Confess your sins and be forgiven."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young woman said, "Last night my boyfriend made mad passionate love to me seven times."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest thought long and hard and then said, "Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink th e juice."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young woman asked, "Will this cleanse me of my sins?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The priest said, "No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company.  One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, my dog is dead.   Could ya' be saying' a Mass for the poor creature?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the  church.   But there are some&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe.   Maybe they'll do something for the creature."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father.   Do ya think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus!   Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my favorite:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elderly man walks into a confessional.   The following conversation ensues:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man: "I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitchhiking.   We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Priest: "Are you sorry for your sins?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man: "What sins?
