Your shadow is a confirmation that light has traveled nearly 93 million miles unobstructed, only to be deprived of reaching the ground in the final few feet thanks to you.

Now that cellphones are becoming more and more waterproof, pretty soon it will be okay to push people into pools again.

Customer: I'd like a cup of coffee without cream, please.

Waiter: Were all out of cream, would you like a cup of coffee without milk instead?

An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic. He put a sign up outside that said:

"Dr.Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."

Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine,

Thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr.Geezer's clinic.

Dr. Young: "Dr.Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me ??" Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr.Young's mouth."

Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back.That will be $500."

Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.

Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!" Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations!

You've got your memory back. That will be $500."Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything !!!!

Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, " Here's your $1000 back."

(giving him a $10 bill)

Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"

It really happened.

" The re-entry of Skylab came as quite a surprise for the residents of the Australian Shire of Esperance, and a light-hearted $400 fine was imposed on NASA for littering their territory. The debt was never paid.

After some further digging, Barley decided to call the Esperance mayor’s office to investigate whether or not the fine was still valid. After receiving the standard “no, NASA’s fine was written off years ago” message from Esperance, Barley was determined to make good on NASA’s debt, despite the fact it no longer existed.

So, using his reach on Highway Radio (you’d hear the DJ’s voice on the I15 when traveling to and from Las Vegas and LA, near the small city of Barstow), he appealed to his listeners to help pay NASA’s fine. Sure enough, he received a healthy response; listeners at home sent a couple of dollars and a local gym pledged that they’d match anyone that sends in a $50 donation, should someone feel generous. Sure enough with the help of small donations from listeners at home, truckers and businesses, the $400 was raised.

Triumphantly, Scott Barley wrote a $400 check and posted it to the Shire of Esperance. The 30 year debt was officially paid.

He heard nothing from Western Australia for two months.

But when he did hear something, it was a personal invite for him to fly to Australia. Esperance wanted the Californian radio host to be their guest of honor at the Esperance-Skylab 30th Anniversary celebrations this weekend, giving him three days of free accommodation. On Sunday July 12, Barley will present a comedy-sized jumbo check from the Highway Radio listeners, for the total amount of $400, finally paying off NASA’s debt.

Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation toward the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.

Chocolate comes from cocoa, which is a tree.That makes it a plant. Therefore, chocolate is salad.

Ron Chester, 89 years of age, was stopped by the police aound 2 a.m.
And was asked where he was going at that time of day.

Ron replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The officer asked, "Really, Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"

Ron replied, "That would be my wife."

No amount of college can prepare you for how angry you'll get at the way people park in the real world.

I just found this thread, so I don't know if these have already been told.

Why are they called the Dark Ages?

Because there were so many knights.


Why did Adele cross the road?

I hate it when I’m singing along with the radio and the artist gets the words wrong.

My neighbors listen to some excellent music…whether they like it or not.

I can’t understand how people get eaten by sharks…can’t they hear the music?

What’s more embarrassing than having your cell phone blast out a song at a funeral?
If it’s playing “I Will Survive”.

What’s more embarrassing than having your cell phone blast out a song at a funeral for a woman named Susan?
If it’s playing “Wake Up Lil’ Susie”.

If you choose to listen to music at work, make it a live album. That way, no matter what you do, you’ll get applause every three or four minutes.

Do you really think that turning down the music in your car will help you find a street sign?

I wish my life had background music so I could figure out what’s going on.

I don’t sing in the shower…I perform!

Singing in the shower is all fun and games until you get shampoo in your mouth. Then it’s just…
…wait for it…
…wait for it…
a soap opera.

(And no, I will NOT apologize for that one. A good groan is just as much fun as a laugh.)

I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather hear me drink scotch.

It doesn’t matter how old you are or how smart you are, you’re still going to sing the ABC’s in your head to figure out which letter comes next. And yes, “ELEMENO” is one word.

You never know just how dirty a song’s lyrics are until you hear a 6-year-old sing them.

Sometimes I look at people and start singing in my head…”If I Only Had a Brain”.

I don’t always sing and bob my head to the beat when I’m in the car, but when I do I quit and act normal at stop lights.
Why yes there IS a blog about choral singing. Thanks for asking.

So, quite a few posts back I said that if you say gullible v-e-r-y slowly it sounds like "green beans"
Sitting at work yesterday shooting the breeze with my boss I told him the very same thing.
He was halfway through the second gullible before he realized!
I haven't laughed so hard at work in a long time!
