Three Government Contractors…

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in
D.C.; one from New Jersey, another from Tennessee and the third, from
Florida. They go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring,
then works some figures with a pencil. “Well”, he says, “I figure the job
will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit
for me.”

The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
“I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100
profit for me.”

The New Jersey contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the
White House official and whispers, “$2,700.”

The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other
guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”

The New Jersey contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and
we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence.”

“Done!” replies the government official.

And that friends, is how it all works!

 

Nice Email of the Week

First of all, I haven’t received your weekly update for a while.  I was getting really sad (imagine having to do all the work of going to your website all on my own and not getting it automatically in my inbox!!) and taking it a little personally that you deleted me from your mailing list.  Then I remembered that my e-mail changed.  Now I feel a little better and realized it probably was my own fault and not an intentional shun on your part!  🙂

 

Second, how is your dad?  Poor guy.  Your family definitely has your share of trials!!  I guess because you’re so stalwart and brave about it all!!  What a family!  One of my 2 1/2 yr old twins had an adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy the end of January.  I was SOOOO nervous and worried!  Then I thought of you and your wife and all that YOUR twins have had to endure!  You guys must be the bravest people on the planet!!!!!  You’re so positive through all your trials!  We could ALL learn a lesson from you.

 

Finally, WOW!  The tubing in Minnesota is WAYYYYYYY cool!!!  I never knew such places exist!  Amazing!!

Remember ladies, the best way to attract a man is with your eyes. 
 
That’s why it’s so important to have your eye makeup perfectly applied.   If it weren’t for the excellent application of proper eye makeup this young lady probably wouldn’t get a second look from most guys.

 

 

Then again, I could be wrong . . . . . .

Joke of the Week

An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up…
 
The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said,

‘Things are great and I’ve never felt better.’

I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child.

‘So what do you think about that Doc?’

The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began to tell a story.

‘I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season.’

One day he was setting off to go hunting.

In a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun.’

‘As he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water’s edge.


He realized he’d left his gun at home and so he couldn’t shoot the magnificent creature.

Out of habit he raised his cane , aimed it at the animal as if it were his favorite hunting rifle and went ‘bang, bang’.’


‘Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead.

Now, what do you think of that?’ asked the doctor.

The 86-year-old said,

‘Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver.’

The doctor replied, ‘My point exactly.’

Country Funeral

To all you with rural roots, hope you get a kick out of this – –
 

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and, in a rush, did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do.

The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached the workers began to say “Amen,” “Praise the Lord,” and “Glory,” I preached, and I preached, like I’d never preached before: from Genesis all the way to Revelation.

 I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

  As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, “I ain’t never seen anything like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”

Indian Message To The Moon 

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they 
did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and 
came across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only
 Navajo, asked a question which his son translated. 
“What are these guys in the big suits doing?”

A member of the crew said they were practicing for 
their trip to the moon. The old man got all excited and asked
 if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the 
NASA folks found a tape recorder. After the old man  recorded his
 message, they asked the son to translate it. He refused.

So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation 
where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed but 
refused to translate the elder’s message to the moon.

Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government
 translator. He reported that the moon message said, 
 

“Watch out for these guys; they have come to steal your land.”

Grandmas Don’t Know Everything

Little Tony had been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked, “Grandma, what’s that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?”

She was a little taken aback, but she decided to just tell him the truth. “It’s called sexual intercourse, darling”

Little Tony just said, “Oh, OK,” and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, “Grandma, it isn’t called sexual intercourse. It’s called Bunk Beds. And Jimmy’s mom wants to talk to you.!”
