A very nice, innocent Australian woman wants to get married, but she is only willing to marry a man if he has never had sex with another woman.

After several unsuccessful years of searching, she decides to take out a personal ad.  She ends up corresponding with Scotty Greer, who is an average golfer and who has lived his entire life in the Australian Outback and he has no experience with women. They meet and she is very happy with him; she feels that they are perfect for each other. Eventually, they end up getting married.

On their wedding night, she goes into the bathroom to prepare for the evening.  When she returns to the bedroom, she finds her new husband standing in the middle of the room, naked. All the furniture from the room is piled in one corner.

“What happened?” she asks.

“I’ve never been with a woman,” he says,  “But if it’s anything like a kangaroo, I’m gonna need all the room I can get!”

Recently, I went to McDonald’s and I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.

‘We don’t have half dozen nuggets,’ said the teenager at the counter.

‘You don’t?’ I replied.

‘We only have six, nine, or twelve,’ was the reply.

‘So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?’

‘That’s right.’

So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets

(Unbelievable but sadly true…) (Must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn’t have any, only  Splenda and sugar.) (And they think they are worth $15.00 per hour)

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those dividers that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn’t get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the divider, looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.

Not finding the bar code, she said to me, ‘Do you know how much this is?’

I said to her ‘I’ve changed my mind; I don’t think I’ll buy that today.’

She said ‘OK,’ and I paid her for the things and left.

She had no clue to what had just happened.

(But the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left)

A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her DVD drive and pulling it out very quickly.

When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM thingy. (Keep shuddering!!)

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.

‘Do you need some help?’ I asked.

She replied, ‘I knew I should have replaced the battery in this remote door unlocker. Now I can’t get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?’

Hmm, I don’t know. Do you have an alarm, too?’ I asked.

‘No, just this remote thingy,’ she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.

As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, ‘Why don’t you drive over there and check  about the batteries. It’s a long walk….’

PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, ‘I’m almost out of typing paper. What do I do?’ ‘Just use paper from the photocopier’, the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies.

A Brunette, by the way!!

A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants.

The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says,  ‘I just gave him some ant killer……’

Dispatcher: ‘Rush him to emergency right now!’

Life is tough. It’s even tougher if you’re stupid!!!!

Someone had to remind me, so I’m reminding you too. Don’t laugh….it is all true. Perks of reaching 60 or being over 70 and heading towards 80!

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run–anywhere.
4. People call at 8 PM and ask, “Did I wake you?”
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won’t wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 5 PM.
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
11. You can’t remember who sent you this list.
12. And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

Forward this to everyone you can remember right now! And remember, Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night!

I went to my nearby CVS Pharmacy, straight to the back,  where the Pharmacists’ high counter is located. I took out my little brown bottle, along with a teaspoon, and set them up on the counter.

The Pharmacist came over, smiled, and asked if he could help me.

I said,   “Yes!  Could you please taste this for me?”

Seeing a senior citizen,  the Pharmacist went along. He took the spoon, put a tiny bit of the liquid on it, put it on his tongue and swilled it around.

Then, with a stomach-churning look on his face, he spat it out on the floor and began coughing. When he finally was finished,  I looked him right in the eye and asked,

“Now, does that taste sweet to you?”

The Pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “HELL NO!!!”

I said, “Oh, thank God!  That’s a real relief!   My doctor told me to have a Pharmacist test my urine for sugar!”

I can never go back to that CVS, but I really don’t care, because they aren’t very friendly there anymore!

During his physical, the doctor asked the patient about his daily activity level.

The golfer described a typical day this way:

• “Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake,
• Drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush,
• Jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake,
• Marched up and down several rocky hills,
• Stood in a patch of poison ivy,
• Crawled out of quicksand
• And took four leaks behind big trees.”

Inspired by the story, the doctor said, “You must be one hell of an outdoors man!”

”NAH,” he replied, “I’m just a shitty golfer.”

You pick up a hitchhiker… A beautiful girl. Suddenly she faints inside your car and you take her to the hospital. Now that’s stressful.

But at the hospital, they say she is pregnant and congratulate you that you’re going to be a father. You say that you are not the father, but the girl says you are. This is getting very stressful!

You request a DNA test to prove that you are not the father.

After the tests are completed, the doctor says the test shows you’re infertile and probably have been since birth. You’re extremely stressed but relieved.

On your way back home, you think about your 5 kids at home.

Hail to Dick Tracy! Those of us that are a little, well maybe more, older will remember the fearless police detective Dick Tracy in both the newspaper cartoons and later on TV. Little did we know at the time that Dick was foretelling the future in communications. Bear in mind, this was 60 to 70 years ago, and Dick had his wrist communications device from which he handled all necessary activity.

Fast forward to yesterday when yours truly ventured to the Apple store and acquired an Apple Watch. I can now accomplish what Dick Tracy could do, all be it 60 plus years later. I can use my wrist device to make calls, send text messages and a whole raft of other functions. At the time, Tracy’s activities were viewed as little more than science fiction – maybe just fiction – with little thought that one day we might see that functionality.

As one that has lived through the range of devices – from the early cell phones that looked like and felt like a brick and communication was at the best spotty and scratchy – to today’s cellphones with a full range of capabilities and now to a watch. Given the history of technology, I find it difficult to think that this is the end of the line. That does cause one to wonder, what are today’s Dick Tracys foretelling for our future?
