I rescued a human today.
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering
apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I
had to
help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be
afraid. As
she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I
had in the
back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked
today.
Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think
poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad
about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to
make a
difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made
little kissy
sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the
bars to
comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for
companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to
assure her
that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I
instantly jumped
into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to
always be
by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that
radiant smile
and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my
corridor. So
many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more
to be
saved. At least I could save one.

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.
Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store (packie) and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is, sadly, controlling your life. Get help immediately.

Linda meets up with Jill
as she is picking her car up from the mechanic.
Linda asks, "Everything ok with your car now?"
Jill replies, "Yes, thank goodness.
I was worried that my mechanic
might try to rip me off,
so I was relieved when he told me
all I needed was blinker fluid."

REASONS FOR LEAVING YOUR PREVIOUS JOB..........
“Responsibility makes me nervous.”
“They insisted that all employees get to work by 8:45 every morning. Couldn’t work under those conditions.”
“Note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as ‘job-hopping’. I have never quit a job.”
“Was met with a string of broken promises and lies, as well as cockroaches.”
“I was working for my mom until she decided to move.”
“The company made me a scapegoat - just like my three previous employers.”

Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher, whose hand
was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former
Texas Governor George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House.
The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Little Georgie Bush is just a 'post
turtle.'"
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a "post turtle"
was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to
explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there,
he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just want to help
the dumb sch*t get down."

The Cat
A businessman had arranged an important formal dinner party at his home where they were going to serve stuffed whole baked fish as the main course.
While the guests were eating the appetizer, the cook came to the host and whispered, "Please come urgently to the kitchen."
The host went to the kitchen where the cook explained that while he was serving the starter, the cat ate a big chunk of the fish which they were going to serve. The host said, "Just fill the hole with stuffing and turn the other side up, nobody will notice."
The fish was served and when they were nearly finished eating, the host was again called to the kitchen. The cook said, "The cat is dead!"
The host rushed back to the dinner party and apologized, "Something was wrong with the fish and everyone must have their stomachs pumped out at the hospital."
When they came back everything was still fine and the host went to ask the cook, "Where is the cat?"
"Oh," said the chef, "The cat is still by the road where the car ran it down."

HEADS UP, GRANDPARENTS & OLDER GRANDCHILDREN - REALLY CUTE...
She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!'
# # # # #
My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?'
# # # # #
After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?'
# # # # #
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!'
# # # # #
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo while I asked, 'No, how are we alike?' 'You're both old,' he replied.
# # # # #
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.'
# # # # #
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it as. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!'
# # # # #
When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.'
# # # # #
A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies?' 'It's simple, ' replied the girl.. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.'

Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about a public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked. 'Sure,' said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child.'

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. 'They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child. 'No,' said another, 'he's just for good luck.' A third child brought the argument to a close. 'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants.

Natural born citizen
The following is a funny story shared by KC Williams who teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School .
They were discussing the Qualifications to be president of the United States.
The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.
KC and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by asking .
"What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by c-section?"
And someday she'll vote!

stamp......
The United States Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of President Obama. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings: The stamp is in perfect order. There is nothing wrong with the adhesive. People are spitting on the wrong side.

Admissions.......
There was a student who wanted to be admitted to the University.
He was smart enough to get through the written test, a GED, and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.
"Tell me your choice," said he to the boy, "What's your choice? I shall either ask you ten easy questions or ONE real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind."
The boy thought for a while and said, "My choice is ONE real difficult question."
"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the man on the opposite side. Tell me: What comes first, Day or Night?"
The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: "It's the DAY, sir."
Thinking to himself ("At last, I got you!"), the interviewer smiled and said, "How???"
"Sorry sir, you promised me that you would ask me ONLY ONE difficult question!"
The student was admitted to the University.

A guy walks into a bar and sits down beside an very attractive lady.He nods politely as he sips on his drink and after awhile she notices he seems preoccupied with his wristwatch.Excuse me she says, but I can't help but notice that you keep looking at your watch,are you expecting someone?
No the man says,I just bought this high tech timepiece that communicates with me telepathically by sending alpha waves to my brain.
Intrigued,she says,oh really?,what is it saying to you right now?
Its telling me you aren't wearing any panties .
She laughs and says well sir,I think you may have purchased a defective watch because I am indeed wearing panties.He looks at her and then the watch,and says Damn,you're right the darn thing is running an hour fast!

Little known facts about the Catholic Church in Las Vegas :
There are more churches in Las Vegas than casinos. During Sundayservices at the offertory, some worshippers contribute casino chips asopposed to cash. Some are sharing their winnings - some are hoping towin. Since they get chips from so many different casinos, and they areworth money, the Catholic churches are required to send all the chipsinto the diocese for sorting. Once sorted into the respective casinochips, one junior priest takes the chips and makes the rounds to thecasinos turning chips into cash. And he, of course, is known as TheChip Monk.
