At 85 years of
age, Roger married Jenny, a lovely 25 year old. Since her new husband is so
old, Jenny decides that after their wedding she and Roger should have separate
bedrooms, because she is concerned that her new but aged husband may overexert
himself if they spend the entire night together.
After the
wedding festivities Jenny prepares herself for bed and the expected knock' on
the door. Sure enough the knock comes, the door opens and there is Roger, her
85 year old groom, ready for action. They unite as one. All goes well, Roger
takes leave of his bride, and she prepares to go to sleep.
After a few
minutes, Jenny hears another knock on her bedroom door, and it's Roger, Again
he is ready for more 'action'. Somewhat surprised , Jenny consents for more
coupling. When the newlyweds are done, Roger kisses his bride, bids her a fond
good night and leaves.
She is set to
go to sleep again, but, aha you guessed it - Roger Is back again, rapping on
the door, and is as fresh as a 25-year-old, ready for more 'action'. And, once
more they enjoy each other.
But as Roger
gets set to leave again, his young bride says to him, 'I Am thoroughly
impressed that at your age you can perform so well and so often. I have been
with guys less than a third of your age who were only good once. You are truly
a great lover, Roger.'
Roger, somewhat
embarrassed, turns to Jenny and says: 'You mean I was here already?'
The moral of
the story:
Don't be afraid
of getting old, Alzheimer's has its advantages.
Recently, while going through an airport during one of his many
trips, President Bush encountered a man with long grey hair and beard,
wearing a white robe and sandals, holding a staff.
President Bush went up to the man and said, "Has anyone told you
that you look like Moses?"
The man didn't answer. He just kept staring straight ahead. The
president said, "Moses!" in a loud voice. The man just stared ahead,
never acknowledging the president.
The president pulled a Secret Service agent aside and, pointing
to the robed man, asked him, "Doesn't that man look like Moses to you?
The Secret Service agent looked at the man and agreed.
"Well," said the president, "every time I say his name, he
ignores me and stares straight ahead, refusing to speak. Watch!" Again
the president yelled, "Moses!" and again the man ignored him.
The Secret Service agent went up to the man in the white robe
and whispered, "You look just like Moses. Are you Moses?"
The man leaned over and whispered back, "Shhhh! Yes, I am Moses.
The last time I talked to a bush, I spent 40 years wandering in the
desert and ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire
Middle East with no oil."

A timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for
an organization.
Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant and
noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt
pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our
water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket.
Then I looked around saw that all the staff had spoons in their
pockets.
When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, 'Why the
spoon?'
'Well, he explained, 'The restaurant's owners hired a consulting
firm to revamp all our processes. After several months of
analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently
dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately
3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared,
We can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15
man-hours per shift.'
As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to
replace it with his spare. 'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the
kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now.'
I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging
out of the waiter's fly. Looking round, I noticed that all the waiters
had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked
off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have
that string right there?' 'Oh, certainly!' Then he lowered his voice.
'Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also
found out that we can save time in the restroom by tying this string
to the tip of our 'you know what'. That way, we can pull it out without
touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening
the time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent.'
I asked, 'After you get it out, how do you put it back?'
'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use
the spoon.
Many of us are guilty of looking at others our own age and thinking,
"Surely, I can't be that old". If you've ever done this, then you'll
appreciate the following.
I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new
dentist.
I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I
remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been
in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy
that I had a secret crush on way back then?
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This
balding, grey-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to
have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park
High School.
"Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a mustang," he gleamed with pride.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
"In 1965," he replied. "Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely ... and then that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat
ass, grey-haired decrepit son-of-a-b**** asked, "What did you teach?"

Do you really know how to forward e-mails? 50% of us do; 50% DO NOT.
Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it?
Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the people who got the message before you, namely their e-mail addresses & names. As the messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus, and his or her computer can send that virus to every e-mail address that has come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents for each hit. That's right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel!
How do you stop it? Well, there are several easy steps:
(1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second You MUST click the "Forward" button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message. If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message at all.
(2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the To: or Cc: fields for adding e-mail addresses. Always use the BCC: (blind carbon copy) field for listing the e-mail addresses. This is the way the people you send to will only see their own e-mail address. If you don't see your BCC: option click on where it says To: and your address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's that easy. When you send to BCC: your message will automatically say "Undisclosed Recipients" in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it.
(3) Remove any "FW :" in the subject line. You can re-name the subject if you wish or even fix spelling.
(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail you are reading. Ever get those e-mails that you have to open 10 pages to read the one page with the information on it? By Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, you stop them from having to open many e-mails just to see what you sent.
(5) Have you ever gotten an email that is a petition? It states a position and asks you to add your name and address and to forward it to 10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The email can be forwarded on and on and can collect thousands of names and email addresses. A FACT: The completed petition is actually worth a couple of bucks to a professional spammer because of the wealth of valid names and email addresses contained therein. If you want to support the petition, send it as your own personal letter to the intended recipient. Your position may carry more weight as a personal letter than a laundry list of names and email address on a petition. (Actually, if you think about it, who's supposed to send the petition in to whatever cause it supports? And don 't believe the ones that say that the email is being traced, it just aint so!)
(6) One of the main ones I hate is the ones that say that something like, "Send this email to 10 people and you'll see something great run across your screen." Or, sometimes they'll just tease you by saying something really cute will happen IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN!!!!! (Trust me, I'm still seeing some of the same ones that I waited on 10 years ago!) I don't let the bad luck ones scare me either, they get trashed. (Could be why I haven't won the lottery??) Something really cute: http://tubevube.com/user.php
(7) Before you forward an Amber Alert, or a Virus Alert, or some of the other ones floating around nowadays, check them out before you forward d them. Most of them are junk mail that's been circling the net for YEARS! Just about everything you receive in an email that is in question can be checked out at Snopes. Just go to http://www.snopes. com/
Its really easy to find out if it's real or not. If it's not, please don't pass it on.
So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and the viruses.
Finally, here's an idea!!! Let's send this to everyone we know (but strip my address off first, please). This is something that SHOULD be forwarded.
A successful
business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take
over the business.
Instead
of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something
different.
He called all the young executives in his company together.
"It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO," he said.
"I have decided to choose one of you."
The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to
give each one of you a seed today - a very special seed. I want you to plant
the seed, water it
and come back
here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given
you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be
the next CEO."
One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a
seed.
He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot,
soil and compost and he planted the seed.
Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about
three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about
their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his
seed, but nothing ever grew.
Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were
talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by - still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his
seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had
nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however. He just kept
watering and fertilizing the soil - he so wanted the seed to grow.
A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought
their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that
he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what
happened.
Jim felt sick at his stomach. It was going to be the most embarrassing moment
of his life, but he knew his wife was right.
He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the
variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were
beautiful--in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many
of his colleagues laughed. A few felt sorry for him!
When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.
Jim just tried to hide in the back.
"My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the
CEO.
"Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty
pot. He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front.
Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will
have me fired!"
When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed.
Jim told him the story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then
announced to the young executives,
"Here
is your next ChiefExecutive!
His name is Jim!"
Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the
new CEO the others said?
Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a
seed.
I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today.
But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them
to grow.
All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.
"When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed
for the one I gave you.
Jim was
the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it.
Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive!"
Moral:
If you plant honesty, you
will reap trust
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.
So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.
