Today quality was a little better & the market was up.
A policeman stops an elderly man around 2 a.m. &
asks where he is going at such an hour. The man
replies *I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol
abuse & the effects it has on the human body, as
well as smoking & staying out late.* Officer asks,
*Really? Who is giving the lecture at this time of
day?* Sam says, *That would be my wife.*

BAD NEWS:
Congress is passing a new law
Dec. 30, 2011, saying to help the
economy it will be deporting
senior citizens instead of illegals.
This will save much in Medicare
costs & Social Security. Guess
I*ll see you on the bus; I wonder
where they are taking us?

Husbands, looking for a Christmas gift for the wife?
You will be smart if you buy her a set of very fine
China so she will not trust you to wash it or carry it
to the dishwasher or to the cupboard or anywhere.

My mother was surprised by
her 7-year-old grandson one
morning when he made her coffee.
She drank what was the worst cup
of coffee in her life. At the bottom
of the mug she discovered three
little green plastic army men. Honey,
she asked, what are the army men
doing im my coffee. Her grandson
said, Grandma it says on TV that
the best part of waking up is
soldiers in your cup.

MERRY CHRISTMAS-HAPPY NEW YEAR.
In 1954 Hilton Hotels ran this Christmas ad in
magazines with a colorful picture of the Wise Men.
It said "Wise men still seek Him. Moses sought Him
on a mountain; St. Augustine in his books; Washington
at Valley Forge; Albert Scweitzer in the heat of the
African jungle; President Eisenhower in his own heart &
the hearts of his people; Konrad Adenauer in the Cathedral
of Cologne. And one cold night long ago the Wise Men
found Him...and Angels singing, *Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to men of good will.* Would they run
this today???

After a basketball game, the coach found
a cell phone on the gym floor. He picked
it up and handed it to one of the referees,
saying, "Here's your phone."
"What makes you think it's mine?" the ref
asked.
"Easy," the coach replied. "It says you
missed 13 calls."
Happy New Year everyone!
