problem on occasion, that when someone says something so outrageous and rude to
you, you are totally deflated on the spot and are rendered speechless by the
other person's outburst. And then later you think of ten really great
comebacks you wish you had said to the rude person? In honor of ALL of us
who have been in this situation, we present
Saul Bellows and tell his story of what we wish we would have said in this embarrassing
situation.
Mr. Bellows, a kind older gentleman, had an appointment to see a urologist who
shared an office with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with
patients. It was a most delicate problem that most older gentlemen suffer from
time to time, but nonetheless an extremely personal problem indeed, just ask any
gentleman who has encountered the problem.
He approached the receptionist desk. The receptionist was a large imposing woman
who looked like a wrestler. In a quiet voice he said, "I am patient Mr.
Bellows and am here for my appointment".
In a very loud voice the receptionist said, "Yes, Saul, I see your name
here... you want to see the doctor about IMPOTENCE, right?"
The heads of all the patients in the waiting room snapped around to look at the
embarrassed and very humiliated man.
He recovered quickly though, and in an equally loud voice replied,
"No, I've come to inquire about a sex change operation... and I'd like the
same doctor that did yours!"

If You Can Relate To 15 Or More Of These Questions....
Then You Are Officially A REDNECK!
Issued by the Montana
Bureau of Tourism to ALL visiting Californians and Northeastern Urbanites.
1. Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at the Kit Kat cafe. It is a
diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know.
If you upset the ladies in the kitchen they'll kick your ass.
2. Don't laugh at the name s of our little towns (Zortman, Broadus,
Forsythe, Joe, Deer Lodge, etc.) or we will just have to kick your ass.
3. Don't order a bottle or can of soda here. Up here it is called Pop.
Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an ass kicking.
4. We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you. We are also
better educated and generally more a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of
rednecks or we'll kick your ass.
5. We have plenty of business sense. You have to make a living up here.
Naturally, we do sometimes have small lapses in judgment from time to time, but
we are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state in order to run for the
Senate. If someone tried to do that, we would kick their ass.
6. We are fully aware of how cold it gets here in the winter, so shut the hell
up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here or we'll kick your ass.
7. Don't order the vegetarian special at the local diner. Everyone will know
that you are a tourist. Eat your steak well done like God intended and have some
potatoes with that. Also, don't ask what a hot dish is or we'll kick your ass.
8. Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we know better.
Many of us have visited big-city hell-holes like Detroit, New York, and LA, and
we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, North West airlines is
ready when you are. Move your ass on home before it gets kicked.
9. Yes, we know that ice fishing is "not your thing." We don't care.
If you don't understand the beauty of being out on a lake when it is 10 degrees
then you should go home and try fishing in New York harbor. Also, don't hog the
heater in the fish house house or we'll kick your ass.
10. Don't complain that Eastern Montana is flat and that there is not enough
trees. If you whine about our scenic beauty we'll kick your ass all the way back
to Cleveland.
11. Don't ridicule our mannerisms. We speak only when spoken to. We hold doors
open for others. We offer our seats to old folks because such things are
expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little grey
haired grandmothers or they will kick some manners into your ass just like they
ours.
12. Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE to come out here and tell us how the
prairie should, "go back to the buffalo." This will get your ass shot
(right after it is kicked). Just mention this once and you will go home in a
pine box. Minus your ass.
Enjoy your visit to the Big Sky Country.
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning...to the end
He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years. (1934 -1998)
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars...the house...the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile.
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

HERE ARE
SOME THINGS TO PONDER
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one
person.
A man spends the first half of his life learning habits that shorten the other
half of his life.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some
are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different
colors ... but they all have to learn to live in the same box.
Life is what you make of it...kinda like Play-Doh
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no
simpler.
I wish the buck stopped here. I could use a few.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and
shine when the sun is out but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is
revealed only if there is a light within.
Birthdays are good for you - the more you have the longer you live.
How long a minute is depends on what side of the
bathroom door you're on.
I have noticed that the people who are late are often
so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them.
If we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside us.
If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing in the store is
free yet?
AN OLD MAN, A BOY AND A DONKEY WERE GOING TO TOWN.
THE BOY RODE ON THE DONKEY AND THE OLD MAN WALKED.
AS THEY WENT ALONG THEY PASSED SOME PEOPLE WHO
REMARKED IT WAS A SHAME THE OLD MAN WAS WALKING AND THE BOY WAS RIDING.
THE MAN AND BOY THOUGHT MAYBE THE CRITICS WERE
RIGHT, SO THEY CHANGED POSITIONS.
LATER THEY PASSED SOME PEOPLE THAT REMARKED," WHAT A SHAME, HE MAKES THAT
LITTLE BOY WALK."
THEY DECIDED THEY BOTH WOULD WALK!
SOON THEY PASSED SOME MORE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE STUPID TO WALK WHEN
THEY HAD A DECENT DONKEY TO RIDE.
SO, THEY BOTH RODE THE DONKEY!
NOW THEY PASSED SOME PEOPLE THAT SHAMED THEM SAYING HOW AWFUL TO PUT SUCH A LOAD
ON A POOR DONKEY.
THE BOY AND MAN SAID THEY WERE PROBABLY RIGHT SO
THEY DECIDED TO CARRY THE DONKEY.
AS THEY CROSSED A BRIDGE, THEY LOST THEIR GRIP ON
THE ANIMAL AND HE FELL INTO THE RIVER AND DROWNED.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY? ........
IF YOU TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY LOSE YOUR ASS.
Martha
Stewart's Tips for Rednecks
(From Net Laughter.com)
General
Never take a beer to a job interview. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them. It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.
Dining OutWhen decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup, and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the wine. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.
Entertaining in your homeA centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table...no matter how good his manners are.
Personal HygieneWhile ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods.
Dating (outside the family)Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago." Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; Others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.
Theater EtiquetteCrying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after
the movie has ended. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests
have proven they can't hear you.
Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift. Kissing the bride
for more than 5 seconds may get you shot. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A
leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky
appearance. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for
this special occasion.
Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; Even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.
HOUSEHOLD HEALTH TIP
FOOD SAFETY
A stock clerk was sent to clean up a storeroom in
Maui, Hawaii. When he got back, he was
complaining that the storeroom was really
filthy and that he had noticed dried mouse or
rat droppings in some areas. A couple of days
later, he started to feel like he was coming
down with a stomach flu, complained of sore joints and
headaches, and began to vomit. He went to bed and never really
got up again. Within two days he was severely ill and weak.
His blood sugar count was down to 66, and his face and eyeballs
were yellow. He was rushed to the emergency at Pali-Momi,
where he was diagnosed to be suffering from massive
organ failure. He died shortly before midnight.
No one would have made the connection between his
job and his death, had it not been for a
doctor who specifically asked if he had been
in a warehouse or exposed to dried rat or mouse droppings
at any time. They said there is a virus (much like the
Hanta virus) that lives in dried rat and mouse droppings.
Once dried, these droppings are like dust and can
easily be breathed in or ingested if a person
does not wear protective gear or fails to
wash face and hands thoroughly. An autopsy was
performed on the clerk to verify the doctor's suspicions.
This is why it is extremely important to ALWAYS
carefully rinse off the tops of canned sodas
or foods, and to wipe off pasta packaging,
cereal boxes, and so on. Almost everything you
buy in a supermarket was stored in a warehouse at one time or
another, and stores themselves often have rodents. Most
of us remember to wash vegetables and fruits but never think
of boxes and cans. The ugly truth is, even the most modern,
upper-class, super store has rats and mice. And their warehouse
most assuredly does!
Whenever you buy any canned soft drink, please make
sure that you wash the top with running water
and soap or, if that is not available, drink
with a straw. The investigation of soda cans
by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta discovered that
the tops of soda cans can be encrusted with dried rat's urine,
which is so toxic
it can be lethal. Canned drinks and other
foodstuffs are stored in warehouses and containers that are
usually infested with rodents, and then they get transported
to retail outlets without being properly cleaned.
Please forward this message to the people you care
about.
