A Syrian Demonstration Gone Very WRONG!

Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about reading English. �So, how does a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans"(etc.) slogans printed in English?�Answer:�They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English.�Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired US Army Sergeant! �Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way to Arab TV networks, but the results were PRICELESS!�This picture is not doctored.

Lost Puppy

I know most of you are dog lovers and will help. Our neighbor has lost her Chihuahua puppy and is desperate to find him.

Yesterday, she was sitting on the couch watching TV and realized he was gone. She called out to him and he never

responded. She then noticed the back door was open.

She has been putting up signs everywhere in an effort to have him returned.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

ever have one of those days?

Ever have one of those days, when something seems a bit 'off' but you just can't put your finger on it... Or it seemed like all the people around you just wanted to butt heads... Or just get into some kind of weird tug of war? Sometimes you just need to take a fresh new look and get a different perspective on things. Remember to try your best to show kindness to others... (sometimes looking at things from their perspective might help.....) So, when life gets you down... Remember to just keep going, and keep your head above water...

And you'll get by with a little help from your friends!

To all of my friends have a nice day!

Not many people would brave a smile after being trampled by a 30-stone bull. But farmer Hillary Hutchinson is just thankful to be alive suffering horrendous injuries and a misshapen skull following a cattle stampede on his own farm.

The 55-year-old was herding more than 600 cattle across a remote road near his property last August when they suddenly turned on him and trot on his skull. Mr Hutchinson said he doesn't remember much of the accident, which left him with permanent brain damage. 'I was with my son, Andrew, and all was fine to begin with but then the cattle turned back and ran straight at me,' he said. 'I don't remember very much, but what I do know is that the bull stood on my head. 'He's a big fellow, over 400lbs, and he caused a considerable amount of damage, I am very lucky to have survived.' Doctors and paramedics from the Great North Air Ambulance flew to the farm and treated him at the scene before airlifting him to Newcastle Hospital.

Mr Hutchinson, 55, endured two lifesaving brain operations and spent more than three weeks in a coma following the accident. He still needs regular therapy to correct the speech impediment caused by the brain damage and people regularly look twice when they notice his misshaped head.

'When I was in a coma everyone was thinking the worst. I thought for weeks I wasn't going to make it,' he said. 'It was the skill and dedication of the air ambulance team that made all the difference, they did a really remarkable job.' His wife Di said the family had been to hell and back and she wouldn't wish the accident on her worst enemy. Despite all he has been through, Hillary is now vowing to return to work early next year on his farm in Northumberland. 'I'm definitely going back,' he said. 'It'll be no bother'

a joke for Thursday

A little old Jewish man is walking down the street one afternoon when
he sees a woman with perfect breasts.

He says to her, Hey miss, would you let me bite your breasts for
$100?

Are you nuts?!!! she replies, and keeps walking away.

He turns around, runs around the block and gets to the corner before
she does. Would you let me bite your breasts for $1,000 dollars? he
asks again.

Listen you; I m not that kind of woman! Got it?

So the little old Jewish man runs around the next block and faces her
again; Would you let me bite your breasts just once for $10,000
dollars?

She thinks about it for a while and says, Hmmm, $10,000 dollars; Ok,
just once, but not here. Let s go to that dark alley over there.

So they go into the alley, where she takes off her blouse to reveal the
most perfect breasts in the world. As soon as he sees them, he grabs
them and starts caressing them, fondling them slowly, kissing them,
licking them, burying his face in them, but not biting them.

The woman finally gets annoyed and asks, Well? Are you gonna bite them
or not?
Nah , says the little old Jewish man... Costs too much...

A young lady in the maternity ward just prior to labor is asked by the midwife if she would like her husband to be present at the birth.
"I'm afraid I don't have a husband" she replies
"O.K. do you have a boyfriend?" asks the Midwife "No, no boyfriend either."
"Do you have a partner then?"
"No, I'm unattached, I'll be having my baby on my own."
After the birth the midwife again speaks to the young woman. "You have a healthy bouncing baby girl, but I must warn you before you see her that the baby is black"
"Well," replies the girl. "I was very down on my luck, with no money and nowhere to live, and so I accepted a job in a Porno movie. The lead man was black."
"Oh, I'm very sorry," says the midwife, "that's really none of my business and I'm sorry that I have to ask you these awkward questions but I must also tell you that the baby has blonde hair."
"Well yes," the girl again replies, "you see I desperately needed the money and there was this Swedish guy also involved in the movie, what else could I do?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," the midwife repeats, "that's really none of my business and I hate to pry further but your baby has slanted eyes."
"Well yes," continues the girl, "I was incredibly hard up and there was a little Chinese man also in the movie, I really had no choice."
At this the midwife again apologises collects the baby and presents her to the girl, who immediately proceeds to give baby a slap on the bum. The baby starts crying and the mother exclaims,
"Phew!"
"Why did you do that?" asks the midwife, shocked.
"Well," says the girl extremely relieved, "I had this horrible feeling that the little bastard was going to bark!"

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried.

Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.

When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, 'Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards.'

He listened a while longer, and said, 'There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling.' So the magistrate kept listening; 'There's the Seventh...the Sixth...the Fifth...'

Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on him; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered, 'My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing.'

there are dangers to being upwardly mobil
but we must put all our demons to bed
and realize that sometimes life's load is a bit much
and sheer optimism alone isn't enough to prevail

often the problem is how we perceive things

maybe it's best to just laugh at life's little inequities..count our blessings
and keep on dancin'

'cuz there will always be more crap coming along
but if we face our fears

and maintain an attitude of gratitude
we can continue to face the music
