A milkman dying in hospital is surrounded by his two sons, daughter,
his wife and the nurse.
He says to his eldest son,
“To you Peter, I leave the Beverly houses.”
To his daughter,
“My pretty Rose, to you I leave the apartments in the
Los Angeles Plaza.”
“And Charlie, you being my youngest son,
I leave you the City Center
offices."
And to his wife,
“Darling, you get the three residential towers downtown.”
The wide-eyed nurse, obviously impressed,
tells his wife,
“Madam, your
husband is very rich!
And what’s great is he is bequeathing all his
properties to his family.
You are all so lucky!!”
The wife retorts,
”Rich??? Lucky???
Are you kidding me!!??
Those are
the routes where he delivers milk!!”

Forbidden
Three generations of women
co-exist uneasily
until Granma's determination forces change for them all
Her
husband died.
Then she fell in love with another man (the one she visited).
It's 'forbidden' love because she feels guilty about loving someone else
;
that's why she turned her husband's photo away,
so he wouldn't see.
Well
that's my interpretation of it anyway

Middle Finger
The History of the Middle Finger
Well, now......here's something I never knew before,
and now that
I know it,
I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends
in the
hope that they, too, will feel edified.
Isn't history more fun when you know
something about it?
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415,
the French, anticipating
victory over the English,
proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured
English soldiers.
Without the middle finger it would be impossible
to draw the
renowned English longbow
and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in
the future.
This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew
tree,
and the act of drawing the longbow was known
as "plucking the
yew" (or "pluck yew").
Much to the bewilderment of the French,
the English won a major
upset and began mocking
the French by waving their middle fingers at the
defeated French,
saying, See, we can still pluck yew!
Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say,
the difficult
consonant cluster at the beginning
has gradually changed to a labiodentals
fricative F'
, and thus the words often used in conjunction
with the
one-finger-salute!
It is also because of the pheasant feathers
on the arrows used
with the longbow
that the symbolic gesture is known as
"giving the
bird."
And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

Letter from Fred

The solemn-faced man entered the diner
and took the lunch counter stool next
to mine.
The smiling waiter greeted the new customer
and asked if he’d like the daily
special.
“What is it?” queried the unsmiling newcomer.
“Beef tongue sandwich,” the waiter replied,
still smiling.
With the most disgusted expression on his face imaginable,
the man growled,
“I wouldn’t THINK of eating something
that came out of an animal’s mouth!!”
“Yes, sir,” the undaunted waiter said;
“Would you like a menu, then?”
To which the finicky guy responded,
“Oh, no– just give me a fried egg
sandwich…

Blast from the past
BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN
(Fred Rose)
In the twilight glow I see her blue eyes crying in the rain
And when we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember blue eyes crying in the rain
[ guitar ]
Some day when we meet up yonder we'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no parting blue eyes crying in the rain

Three drunks hailed a taxi.
The taxi driver, seeing that they were
wasted when they got in,
he just switched on the engine and switched it off,
then said "We are here!"
The first guy gave him money.
The second guy said, "Thanks."
But the third guy slapped him.
The taxi driver was stunned because he
was hoping
that none of them would have realized the car
didn't move an inch.
"So what was that for?" He
asked.
"Control your speed next
time,"
the third guy shouted.
"You almost killed us!"
