The people who started university this year across the nation were born in 1987 .

Star Wars is older than them .

Their lifetime has always included AIDS .

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic .

They have always had an answering machine

They cannot fathom not having a remote control .

They have always had CDs, never records .

Ray Martin has been on Channel 9 their entire life .

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave .

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws .

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are .

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from .

They do not care who shot J . R . and have no idea who J . R . even was .

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers .

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter . (Do they actually know what a typewriter is?!)


Do you feel old yet? (Sorry) Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list . Don't forget to use larger type - that's for those of you who have trouble reading .


Save the earth . It's the only planet with chocolate :cool:


Hope you don't mind me posting Monday Laughs for you this week Billy, but Monday just ain't the same without our fix!!

464311 2006-06-19 04:28:00 15 reasons why you should leave your husband in front of the TV when you go shopping.....


The following letter was sent to a long time patron of a local Target store. After receiving this letter, she vowed that she would NEVER take her husband shopping with her again! ! !

12 January 2006

Re: Mr. Bill Fenton; Multiple Complaints

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband, Mr. Bill Fenton has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and have considered banning the entire family from shopping in any of our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment.

Three of our clerks are attending counseling from the trouble your husband has caused. All complaints against Mr. Fenton have been compiled and are listed below.

15 Things Mr. Bill Fenton has done while his spouse is shopping:

1. 15th June: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. 2nd July: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. 7th July: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms.

4. 19th July: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

5. 4th August: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on layby.

6. 14th September: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. 15th September: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. 23rd September: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. 4th October: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.

10. 10th November: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.

11. 3rd December: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

12. 6th December: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

13. 18th December: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

14. 21st December: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumes the fetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"

(And; last, but not least!)

15. 23rd December: Went into a fitting room, shut the door and waited a while; then, yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

464313 2006-06-19 05:35:00 Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:

* I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.
* My wild oats have turned to prunes and All Bran.
* I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
* Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
* If all is not lost, where is it?
* It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
* Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.
* I wish the buck stopped here, I could use a few.
* Kids in the back seat cause accidents; accidents in the back seat cause kids.
* It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
* Only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in the bathroom.
* If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.
* When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?
* It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere!
* The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

464314 2006-06-19 05:39:00 Family Death

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem.

While they were there, the wife passed away.

The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150."

The man thought about it and told him he would have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?"

The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here , and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

I had Gork stuck in my head.. ah well I've never watched much TV at all (I think I have one in the garage somewhere... ), it always kills me in trivial pursuit.
