DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN: The Real Definition of Words When Used By Women:
1. FINE - I am right. This argument is over. You need to shut up.
2. THAT'S OKAY - One of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. 'That's okay' means she wants to think long and hard before deciding quite how and when you will be paying for your mistake.
3. NOTHING - This is the calm before the storm. It means 'Something' and you'd better be on your toes. Arguments that start with 'Nothing' usually end with 'Fine.' (See One).
4. FIVE MINUTES - If getting dressed, this means it will take anything up to half-an-hour. (Don't be mad about this. It's the same definition for you when it's your turn to do some really boring chores around the house.)
=
5. THANKS - A woman is thanking you. Don't question why, even if you are confused. But say, 'You're welcome.' Then let it go.
6. LOUD, SOULFUL SIGH - Huffy, non-verbal comment often misunderstood by a mere man. It means that she thinks you're an impudent idiot - feeble, to boot - and furthermore, is wondering why she has been standing here wasting time debating 'nothing.' (Refer to Three)
7. GO AHEAD - This is often a dare, not permission. (Don't Do It!)
8. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I GOT IT - The second most dangerous statement a woman can make. This means she has asked a man umpteen times to do something, but, now infuriated, is finally doing it for herself. But wait, that means you will then ask her, in the future, 'Why, honey, what is wrong ?' (See Three.)

Seamus and Murphy were out walking one day and came across an abandoned well.
Curious as to how deep it might be, they threw a stone down the well and waited for the sound of it hitting the bottom. But they heard nothing.
So they found a larger rock and threw that down. Still they heard nothing.
It clearly needed something a lot bigger, and after a quick search of the surrounding area, they came across an old railway sleeper.
Summoning every bit of their combined strength, they managed to carry the heavy sleeper across to the well and lobbed it into the hole. As they stood back waiting for the sound of it hitting the bottom, a goat suddenly darted between them and leapt straight into the open well.
"Holy shoit!" cried Seamus, "did ya see what oi just feckin' saw?"
"Oi... oi did!" stammered Murphy.
Both men were still recovering from their shock when a farmer appeared.
"Have either of you seen a goat?" he asked.
"Begorra, we have!" exclaimed Seamus. "It just jumped down dat feckin' well, so it did!"
"No, that couldn''t have been my goat," smiled the farmer. "Mine was tethered to a railway sleeper."

Two men were seated next to each other at the bar.

"That oi am!" acknowledged the second man.
"Why, so am I!" said the first man. "And where in Ireland do ye come from?"
"Oi come from Dublin," replied the other.
"Why, me too!" chuckled the first man. "'tis a small world! What street did ye live in?"
"I lived in Plug Street, just off da town centre."
"Bejaysus! So did I! And what school would ye have gone to, by chance'?"
"Why, St. Mary's of course."
"Holy Mother, I went to St Mary's too!" gasped the first man. "When did ye graduate?"
"Oi graduated back in April 'eighty-eight."
"Well, I can hardly believe we two fellahs just happened to be in the same bar tonight!" gasped the first man. "Would ye believe that I too graduated from St. Mary's that self-same year! The blessed Lord must be looking down upon us!"
At the same time, another man went up to the bar to order a beer.
The publican walked over shaking his head and groaned, "Oh, heck; it's gonna be a long night tonight."
"Why?" asked the customer.

Betty is growing frustrated at her husband's lack of interest in sex.
She finally buys some split-crotch undies she had seen in a lingerie shop.
One night at home, Betty takes a shower. She puts on a slinky blue satin negligee and wears the split-crotch panties underneath.
She then strolls between her husband and the telly, and suggestively tosses one leg up on his chair arm.
"Hi there, Sweetie. Would you like some of this?" Betty purrs.

After Quasimodo's exit, the bishop of the cathedral of Notre Dame sent word out through the streets of Paris for a new bell-ringer of repute. The clergyman decided he was to conduct his interviews himself in the belfry.
After observing several applicants demonstrating their skills, an armless man said that he was there to apply for the position.
The man struck the carillon with his face to produce a beautiful melody. Suddenly, he rushed headlong to strike again and accidentally tripped and plunged out of sight to his death.
A crowd saw him strewn in the street below so gathered near. As they parted silently to let the bishop through to him, one of them asked who he was.
"I don't know his name," the bishop replied aghast, "but his face rings a bell."

Well with a heavy heart, put down to the unfortunate demise of the armless campanologist, His Excellency continued as normal doing interviews.
The first lad approached and he asked: "Reverent Holiness, I'm the brother of the poor serf and unfortunate wretch who fell today; I pray that you will respect his life by allowing me to replace him?" An audition was granted.
But as the amputee's gormless sibling stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he clutched his chest, groaned, and died then and there on the spot.
Alarmed at hearing the bishop's cries of grief at this second tragedy, the first of two fathers below asked, "Who's that hapless man?"
"I don't know his name," the distraught bishop sighed quietly, "but he's a dead ringer for his brother."

HOW TO MAKE A JACK-O-LANTERN*
INSTRUCTIONS
SELECTING THE PUMPKIN
1 Consider size. The pumpkin should be big enough to carve eyes, nose and a mouth on.
2 Tap the pumpkin. If it isn't entirely solid, it's rotting. Choose a dry pumpkin with a hard shell.
3 Look at the shape of the pumpkin. Do you want a moon-faced or a tall, thin one?
4 Wash dirt off the pumpkin.
5 Find the 'best side.' Turn the pumpkin around to see which area would make the best Jack-o-Lantern face.
CARVING THE PUMPKIN
6 Mark the features on the pumpkin using a pen or pencil. Draw them slightly smaller then you want them to be.
7 Cut the top off. Put the knife or carving tool all the way through the shell into the pumpkin. Saw a clean circle around the stem and lift off.
8 Clean the pumpkin. Discard the seeds and sticky interior. Make sure the inside of the face area is free of clinging tissue.
9 Cut the face. For each feature, push the knife or carving tool through, then cut on the line until the piece comes out.
10 Clear away the rough edges.

(In a desperate attempt to drive a certain point home, president Obama has recently agreed to a fourth debate.)
Moderator: Gentlemen, our topic is the military. Mr. President, the floor is yours.
Obama: Thanks. First of all, I do admit that some of my decisions may have hurt some folks out there. But I swear to you all that I will not let it happen as I oft been lettin'.
Mod (confused): Sorry, sir, can you repeat that last part?
Obama (grinning): Sure. "I oft been lettin'."
Romney: You're playing into his hands, you know.
Mod: Mr. President...
Obama: Look, I'll show you what I mean. I invited an outstanding soldier called Benjamin A. Ladd to sit in our audience today. You probably know where this is going.
Romney (exasperated): I think I do.
Obama: Stand up, Ben. Now, Ben served four years in Iraq, but when he came back home, he found there aren't a lot of options for him out there. However, we worked hard to give him a fair chance, and I personally got him in a business management program in UCLA. Thank you, Ben.
Romney: And that's it? That's all you wanted to say?
Obama: Yes, that's all. I got Ben Ladd in.
~
Romney: Can someone please grab his notes!
Mod: Mr. President, please stick to the subject at hand. As I said, we are talking about our soldiers in the line of duty.
Obama: Right, and no one's a bigger expert than me. You know, both Mr. Romney and I turned up at the marine base in California and met great people in there, many of whom, by the way, are of the Hispanic persuasion. And, as opposed to my rival, I was a hit. In front of that ethnically diverse crowd, Mr. Romney tanked and I killed. In fact, you might say... Oh, that's a tough one.
Mod: So don't say it, sir!
Obama: No, the truth must be heard... I KILLED THOUGH SOME'VE BEEN LATIN.
Mod: Okay, grab his notes.
(Ten minutes later)
Mod: Mr. President, I'm afraid I'll have to prohibit some of these. For instance, you will not be allowed to say that your new favorite beverage is "a smoked-bean latte", nor will you mention your quite ludicrous plan to ban ladders. In fact, you will not mention that particular man or the operation that brought him down in any way. Do you agree to these conditions, Mr. President?
Obama (after a brief pause): I'll 'kay dat.

Spirits of the Dead
A poem by Edgar Allan Poe
Thy soul shall find itself alone
Mid dark thoughts of the grey tombstone -
Not one of all the crowd to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy:
Be silent in that solitude
Which is not loneliness - for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee - and their will
Shall then overshadow thee: be still
For the night - tho clear - shall frown
And the stars shall look not down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like Hope to mortals given -
But their red orbs without beam
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever:
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish -
Now are visions neer to vanish -
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more - like dew-drop from the grass:
The breeze - the breath of God - is still
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy - shadowy - yet unbroken
Is a symbol and a token -
How it hangs upon the trees
A mystery of mysteries!

The Horrors of Halloween
How truly happy are those boys and girls
That all receive bright mints in spooky shapes
Or zany lollipops with rainbow swirls
To hold or eat in hokey hats or capes
Yes it is fun to do that to forget
But I am hapless as a half-believer -
Yet in a fashion I do not regret
For all that feel the bitter truth will shiver
That shadow on those homes then overwhelms -
Death tensely keeps its hold on those limp minds
For an indifferent tone spreads through that realm
As each forgetful fool in there turns blind
And that inhuman hush I felt each night
Amid the shadows and on filthy streets
It might foretell a raw and sober fright
When Id encounter some vile ghosts in sheets:
The shy distinguished harbingers of sorrow
They look attentively then scheme to end
The human infestation in their borough
With moody Halloween around the bend
A darkness overtook this hollow globe
And when we choose to yield well be enrobed
[In the spirit of the holiday the anagram really is haunted by a ghost No need to highlight any letters though if youre not seeing it just yet simply squint hard (or unfocus your eyes and stare at the word hapless for a few seconds)]
Happy Halloween!

And cynical, we ain't amused
With all that clinical attitude
A timid, newly-married woman
Needs a chance, she's only human
Y'all show some dedication
Not that uncouth titillation
She ain't no Harry
Let her tarry!

A PIZZA THE SIZE OF THE SUN
by Jack Prelutsky
I'm making a pizza the size of the sun,
a pizza that's sure to weigh more than a ton,
a pizza too massive to pick up and toss,
a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce.
I'm topping my pizza with mountains of cheese,
with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas,
with mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore,
with every last olive they had at the store.
My pizza is sure to be one of a kind,
my pizza will leave other pizzas behind,
my pizza will be a delectable treat
that all who love pizza are welcome to eat.
The oven is hot, I believe it will take
a year and a half for my pizza to bake.
I hardly can wait till my pizza is done,
my wonderful pizza the size of the sun.

PIZZA HEAVEN THE REST OF MY LIFE
My simple pizza is a good food I prize;
Yes, love a homemade pizza that's eaten nice!
Must have a pizza, so healthy at breakfast.
Of course, that huge pizza won't be the last!
Now a popular pizza to work I must pack;
This pizza I'll swallow is my morning snack!
How about a heavenly pizza just for lunch?
One happy pizza meal again, easy to munch!
Favorite week-old pizzas always won't hurt;
One yummy pizza, I'll taste it for dessert!
Cheese tomato pizza to satiate me soon;
The same little pizza I will eat this afternoon.
Olive-topped I vote as a sure winner;
Big deep-dish pizza will be my dinner!
End the day with a bedtime snack;
Reheat these pizzas before I hit the sack!

Turn Again To Life, written by Mary Lee Hall
If I should die and leave you here a while,
Be not like others, sore undone, who keep
Long vigil by the silent dust, and weep.
For my sake - turn again to life and smile,
Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort other hearts than thine.
Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Humanity: Ahead In A Defeat, by the Weary Author.
If I should fail and need to try again
Be not long stricken, or be too concerned
Still thinking of those glories yet unearned.
For my sake, contemplate heady times then
Nerving thy mind and suffering temp'rament
Help me work through this ever hopeless blame.
And while all endeavour to do the same
I toil, I win, I flourish here, content!

Re "The Sound of Music."
Here are some lyrics:
Doe, a deer, a female deer.
Ray, a drop of golden sun.
Me, a name I call myself.
Far, a long, long way to run.
Sew, a needle pulling thread,
La, a note to follow Sew,
Tea, a drink with jam and bread!
That will bring us back to Do!

Now random canned Simpson:
Dough, green stuff to procure Duff.
Ray, a sun's why barley grows.
Me, a bloke who's earned a jar.
Far, laid dead end road to Moe's.
So, I'll take a brew in ice,
La, a little ale lament,
Tea? No ta; hey ale, well nice!
Marge'll lug me fried to'D'oh!

A man was telling his next-door neighbour, "I've just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's got real state of the art technology."

A feminist went out to Kabul after the fall of the Taliban and was far from happy to see all of the women walking 5 paces behind the men.

Right up to his middle
And never went there again!
