EVER WONDER ...
Sharing the following email with you:
EVER WONDER ...
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.

Oh Canada
Sharing the following email joke with you:
A photographer on vacation was inside a church in Orlando taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.
The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.
The American thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.
He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.
She old him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
'O.K., thank you,' said the American.
He then traveled to Indianapolis,Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston and New York.
In every church he saw the same golden telephone
with the same '$10,000 per call' sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel up to Canadato see if Canadians had the same phone.
He arrived in Canada, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40 cents per call.'
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. 'Father, I've traveled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the US the price was$10,000 per call.
Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Canada now, son ... it's a local call.'
KEEP SMILING
If you are proud to be a Canadian pass this on!

Pinocchio
My daughter who is attending college wrote: "My son, my friend, my worst enemy. This is Pinocchio. He took my life for the past month and finally he is done (with a few minor adjustments). I can't believe it but it's really over. I can finally sleep ....well maybe not, there still other homework to do. "
In life there are assignments after assignments, projects after projects. Dreams (or goals) are great as long as they do not cloud our minds, and we understand that dreams provide us with motivation and energy to transcend our character and bring out our true nature...

Panoramic picture
Click onto the following link only if you have a fast processing computer and got nothing better to do:
This will be blurry at first. Just give it time to download and it will be clear.
Make use of the buttons at the bottom of the picture to pan around, up and down. After having seen the incredible 360 degree photo by using all of these buttons, right-click anywhere in the picture and select type of view for even a more incredible experience. Whoever made this was incredibly talented. Never saw anything even remotely like it!

Giving up...
Sharing the following email with you:
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I opened my purse took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'
'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.
'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.
'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'
'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.
'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'
'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money.. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'
The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'
I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
