Dear Friends:
They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition. He's afraid that the car could be stolen. As I looked around the parking lot, I realized he was right. The parking lot was empty I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband: "I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."
There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?" he barked, "I dropped you off!"
Now it was my turn to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me."
He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your damn car!"
Welcome to the Golden Years!
Doing the Wrong Thing:
An American soldier, serving in World War II, had just returned from several weeks of intense action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted R&R and was on a train bound for London. The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an empty seat. The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a well dressed middle aged lady and was being used by her little dog.
The war weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?" The English woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, "You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my Little Fifi is using that seat?"
The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another" trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired."
The English woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant. Imagine!"
The soldier didn't say anything else; he leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her and chastise the soldier.
An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
"Third - There's a 90-year old lady upstairs who's never had sex. You have to take care of that problem."

Little Johnny was in the classroom bored to death on a Friday
afternoon, and the teacher decided to have a game for the kids to get them
thinking.
"Okay class. Now I'm going to say a famous quote, and the first person to tell me who said that quote can have Monday off," said the teacher.
"Who is credited with writing the phrase, 'To be or not to be, that is the question?' " asked the teacher.
Little Pham Lam Nguyen at the front of the class called out, "Shakespeare".
"Well done!" said the teacher, "You can have Monday off."
"No thank you Miss. I am of Vietnamese origin and it is in our culture to study as hard as we can, so I will be here on Monday studying hard," said Little Pham Lam Nguyen.
"Well okay," said the teacher. The next quote is, 'I had a dream!' "
Little Fri Sum Kat also at the front yelled out "I bereive it was Martin Ruther King!"
"Well done!" said the teacher. 'You can have Monday off."
"No thanka you miss I am of Chinese oligin and we also do not take time offa school. Education is evelything to us, so I will be in on Monday studying hard too," said little Fri Sum Kat.

"Who said that?!" yelled the teacher in an angry tone.
"Donald Trump!" yelled little Johnny. "See ya Tuesday.

A man walks into a
bar, notices a very large jar on the counter, and sees that it's filled to the brim with $10 bills.
He guesses there must be at least ten thousand dollars in it.
He approaches the bartender and asks, "What's with the money in the
jar?"
"Well..., you
pay $10, and if you pass three tests, you get all the money in the jar and the
keys to a brand new Lexus."
The man certainly
isn't going to pass this up, so he asks, "What are the three tests?"
"You gotta pay
first," says the bartender, "those are the rules."
So, after thinking
it over a while, the man gives the bartender $10 which he stuffs into the jar.
"Okay,"
says the bartender, "here's what you need to do:
First - You have to drink a whole quart of tequila, in 60 seconds or
less, and you can't make a face while doing it."
"Second - There's a pit bull chained in the back with a bad tooth. You have to remove that tooth with your bare hands."
"Second - There's a pit bull chained in the back with a bad tooth. You have to remove that tooth with your bare hands."
"Third - There's a 90-year old lady upstairs who's never had sex. You have to take care of that problem."
The man is stunned!
"I know I paid my $10 -- but I'm not an idiot! I won't do it! You'd
have to be nuts to drink a quart of tequila and then do all those other
things!"
"Your call," says the bartender, "but, your money stays
where it is."
As time goes on, the man has a few more drinks and finally says,
"Where's the damn tequila?!"
He grabs the bottle with both hands and drinks it as fast as he can. Tears stream down both cheeks -- but he doesn't make a
face -- and he drinks it in 58 seconds!
Next, he staggers
out the back door where he sees the pit bull chained to a pole.
Soon, the people
inside the bar hear loud growling, screaming, and sounds of a terrible fight --
then nothing but silence!
Just when they think that the man surely must be dead, he staggers back
into the bar. His clothes are ripped to shreds and he's bleeding from bites and
gashes all over his body.
He drunkenly says, "Now..., where's that old woman with the bad
tooth?"
