  Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

WORDS WOMEN USE
******************************

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES

This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING

This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine"

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows! )
This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine"

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)
This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

SOFT SIGH

Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow."

GO AHEAD!

At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.



PLEASE DO
This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not faint! Just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT

This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing"

Q: Who has the right of way when four cars approach a four-way stop at the same time?
A: The pickup truck with the gun rack and the bumper sticker saying, "Guns don't kill people. I do."

Two blondes observed in a parking lot trying to unlock the door of their Mercedes with a coat hanger.
Blonde#1: "I can't seem to get this door unlocked!"
Blonde#2: "Well, you'd better hurry up and try harder, its starting to rain and the top is down!"

A project manager, a computer programmer and a computer operator are driving down the road when the car they are in gets a flat tire. The three men try to solve the problem.
The project manager: "Let's catch a cab and in ten minutes we'll reach our destination."
The computer programmer: "We have here the driver's guide. I can easily replace the flat tire and continue our drive."
The computer operator: "First of all, let's turn off the engine and turn it on again. Maybe it will fix the problem."
Suddenly a Microsoft software engineer passed by and said: "Try to close all windows, get off the car and then get in and try again."

The woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed way too qualified for the job.
Foreman: "Look Miss, have you any actual experience in picking lemons?"
Woman: "Well, as a matter if fact, yes! I've been divorced three times."

A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked "How much is 2+2?"
The housewife replies: "Four!".
The accountant says: "I think it's either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures through my spreadsheet one more time."
The lawyer pulls the drapes, dims the lights and asks in a hushed voice "How much do you want it to be?"

Two guys are talking while sitting on a bench in the park. "All of my ancestors followed the medical profession." said the first. "Doctors?" queried the second. "Nope. Undertakers and lawyers."
 

Two men were in a restaurant and ordered fish. The waiter brought a dish with two fish, one larger than the other. One of the men said to the other, "Please help yourself." The other one said "Okay", and helped himself to the larger fish. After a tense silence, the first one said, "really, now, if you had offered me the first choice, I would have taken the smaller fish!" The other one replied, "What are you complaining for; you have it, don't you?"
 

Martha Stewart's Tips for Rednecks

More Whipped Cream

The Rose

All through history in happiness or despair.
A flower was given its stem cut with care .
And the thorns removed and its petals would shine,
A prettier flower, you would never find.

And the flower brings cheer to a swollen heart,
And it brings back memories to lovers apart.
As it stands alone so silent, so tall
Casting its spell, enchanting to all.

And women would weep and men would cry.
As the magical flower would wilt and die,
But a new flower begins as life journeys on
With another adventure and a new love song.

And lovers again, rejoice to the shade.
Embrace the odor the flower has made.
And a pair becomes one from a mystical power.
Beware of the rose,it's not just a flower.

Odd Thoughts From The Sarge

 I was thinking about how the status symbols of today are those pagers that everyone has clipped on.  I can't afford one so I'm wearing my garage door opener.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!


I was thinking about old age and decided that it is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it.

I thought about making a movie for folks my age and call it "Pumping  Rust"

I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease....that's when your chest is falling into your drawers!


You know when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" Just once I wanted to say, "No, it's for company!"

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with little tiny spoons and forks so I wonder what Chinese mothers use.  Perhaps toothpicks?

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency.  I think you should write .  .  .  A Good Doctor!

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do .  .  .  write to these men?  Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail?


I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older then it dawned on me .  .  .they were cramming for their finals.

DIRT FOR THOUGHT : From Howard in Ashville

God is sitting in heaven when a scientist prays to Him.
"God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning"
"Oh, is that so? Tell Me..." replies God.
"Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breath life into it, thus creating man."
"Well, that's very interesting...show Me."
So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man.
"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Get your own dirt.
           

 

<<  Subj: Genius In The Making....    Submitted By Anonymous

Following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.


Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

      First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.   As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
      Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.   Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.   With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls
in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:
      1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
      Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell
      will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

      2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
      Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop
      until Hell freezes over.

      So which is it?
      If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year, "....that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having an affair with her, then #2 above cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze over."
 

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

PIECE OF CAKE Submitted By: A Friend

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did God have to do this to me".
Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong,


She's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile her Mother is baking a cake and asks if her daughter would like a snack, the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake"


Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says daughter.

"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross" Mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"

"Mom, those are all yucky!" To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves.

But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

God works the same. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually they will make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live  anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

If you agree, then send this on to people you really care about.
I did.

I hope your day is a "Piece of Cake" my friend.
