ONE LINERS FROM PHYLLIS DILLER

Not sure if we have had these before, but they are worth a second run. 😊

·         As your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.

·         Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance?

·         Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the sidewalk before it stops snowing.

·         The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public.

·         A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once.

·         I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford.  Then I want to move in with them.

·         Most children threaten at times to run away from home.  This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.

·         Any time three New Yorkers Get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.

·        
We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve years telling them to sit down and shut up.

 POINTS TO PONDER

Why do peanuts float in a regular coke and sink in a diet coke. Go ahead and try it.....

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do you have to "put your two pennerth in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going? (taxes)

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

What disease did cured ham actually have?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?


If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change??? They're going to see you naked anyway.

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out of the window?








HOW DID THE MAN WHO MADE THE FIRST CLOCK, KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS?


 

JINGLE BELLS PLUS!!

These 'surprise' performances are becoming more commonplace, but I'd love to be around when one took place. I wouldn't have minded missing my train for this happy, toe tapping, presentation - US Air Force style:

GOD Fearing Boys

They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.  The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.  The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

The mother sent the 5 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.  So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!  Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.

The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD?!"  The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dived into his wardrobe, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the wardrobe, he asked, "What happened?" 

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG BIG trouble this time!"  

"GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"

 



PLEASE REMEMBER

That laughter is the best medicine. If you cannot laugh try to phone a friend, particularly one who is a good listener. 

Please stay well and as happy as can be. The bear is after a cuddle.
