Age....
Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, 'Surely I can't look that old'. Well.....

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40 odd years ago.

Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School. "Yes. Yes. I did. I'm a mustang," he gleamed with pride.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.
"In 1965" he answered. "Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class", I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat ass, gray-haired, decrepit son-of-a-b***h asked, "What did you teach?"

Haven't we all heard this before...?
A man walked into the doctor's office.
Doc: "Hello! I haven't seen you in a long time."
Man: "I know, I was very ill!"

Medical Distinctions
We've all heard about people having guts or balls.
But do you really know the difference between them?
In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below....

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: "You're next."

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.

Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death.

Psychiatric Hospitals
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

'Well', said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub'.

'Oh, I understand', said the visitor. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

'No', said the Director. 'The teaspoon, teacup and bucket are indicators which define the level of insanity. A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'

Should children witness childbirth?
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Mommy pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place...... smack his ass again!"

A Dental appointment for a Scot
A Scotsman goes to the dentist and enquires as to the cost of an extraction
The dentist informs him that it would be £90.00 with an injection.
The Scotsman then enquires as to the cost without injection.
The reply is, £75.00.
Now that is still too expensive says the Scotsman.
OK, we can do it for £45.00 using a trainee but with me in attendance.
That is still too expensive, can you do cheaper?
Well, for £25.00 I could have a trainee perform the task with a  trainee standing in to supervise.
That's OK, so when can I make an appointment for the Wife?

Some Points to Ponder about

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

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out" ?

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm going to eat the next thing that comes out of its arse"

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Is Alphabet soup any help to illiterate people?

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