I knew it was going to happen, but we just didn't know when. Here it is! Men's answer to Maxine.

Men strike back!
How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do men pass gas more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to
Build up the required pressure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered
which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you
know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist
tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red Friday = White
and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist
tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go
alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through
Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in
the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and
even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn
something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right
color on the day you are shopping.

Get Out of The Car!

This is a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida.

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car,
found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her
shoping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of
her lungs, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"
The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like
mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping
bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so
shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and
tried, and then she realized why -- it was for the same reason she had
wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12-packs of beer in
the front seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four
or five spaces farther down.


She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to
report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't
stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four
pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described
as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and
carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.


Moral of the story: If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it
memorable!

Check Your Driver's Licence

This has been sent to many people via blind copy
Check Your Driver's License!!
Check your driver's license. I was shocked when I saw
this. I tried this and what I found was frightening!
We should all be writing our politicians about this!!!
Check your driver's license information online. Now you can see
anyone's drivers license on the Internet, including your own! It asks for
U.S.
Information, but fortunately it works for Canadian Licenses as well. I just
searched for mine and there it was....Picture and all! This is just too
much! Can
you say "invasion of privacy"?! I definitely removed mine. I suggest you
all do the same.
Go to the website and check it out. It's unbelievable!
Just enter your name ( for Canadians just leave it as "Select a State")
just type your name in(no address) to see if they have yours on file.
After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked

"Please Remove".

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. If you are choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto!

2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink..

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer..

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button .

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives .


7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH feels good



Went spent the day with Wayne and Tersea on the bikes. Rode up to Port Dover and then down along the Grand River to Brantford back home again.

It feels good after a relaxing day in the fresh air and sunshine. Must add with good laughs and fun people. Looking forward to many more trips this summer on Dennis's new bike.

The Shortest Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, "Will you marry me?" The girl

said "No" and she lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank martinis

with friends, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet

full of shoes and handbags, stayed skinny and was never farted on.



The End

Withdraw From Sunshine and Relaxation



Well after spending three weeks in Florida, Dennis and I are back to reality. We had absolutely great weather the whole time we were there. I miss the daily routine of relaxing by the pool while we decide what we will do for the day. Or just kicking back at the pool and playing Dominoes.

We shared our holiday with Herb, Rita, Ruth and Norm. We all had many laughs and a few ackward moments that we can all look back at in the future.

We had a snow storm before we left for Florida and when we returned the snoew was all gone........I just love that.

Find Unclaimed Bank Accounts

I have posted a link to Bank of Canada's website where you can search unclaimed bank accounts. It is interesting sometimes what comes up when you type in a last name and search it. If just by chance your name comes up you can go and claim it.

I found this site about 7 years ago through my boss Peter. His daughter searched his name one day and it came up having close to $2,800 in an account. He got the instruction off the website on how to claim it and got it all back.

Have fun, hope you find that lost family fortune!
