"The only reason I do that is because other boards tend to do their best to intimidate females and bash them."

Welcome Cosmo. Just to let you know my daughter (who is now a senior in college) has been posting here, off and on, for a couple of years now. We not only do not bash females, bashing males is NOT allowed on this board also.

 Investment  tips for 2008

With all  the turmoil in the market and the collapse of Lehman Bros  and Acquisition of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America this might be some good advice.   For  all of  you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so  that you can get in on the ground floor and make some BIG bucks. 

Watch for these  consolidations  later on this year: 

1. Hale Business Systems,  Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W R. Grace Co. Will merge  and become:

Hale, Mary, Fuller,  Grace.

2. Polygram Records,  Warner  Bros., and Zesta Crackers  join forces and become:

Poly, Warner Cracker. 

3.  3M will merge with  Goodyear and become:

MMMGood. 

4. Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining will merge and become:
 
ZipAudiDoDa . 

5. FedEx  is expected to join its competitor, UPS, and become:
 
FedUP. 

6.  Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers will become:

Fairwell Honeychild. 

7. Grey  Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become:

PouponPants. 

8.  Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will  become:

Knott NOW! 

And  finally...

9. Victoria's Secret and Smith & Wesson will merge under the new name:

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. 'Human beings are the only animals that stutter', she says.

A little girl raises her hand. 'I had a kitty-cat who stuttered',  she volunteered.  The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

'Well', she began, 'I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it,   he jumped over the fence into our yard!'

'That must've been scary', said the teacher.

'It sure was', said the little girl. 'My kitty raised his back, went   'Sssss, Sssss, Sssss'...........And before he could say 'xxxx', the Rottweiler ate him!

The teacher wet her pants laughing.......

Dear Tech support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a
distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such
as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable
programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes
the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no
avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate.

DEAR DESPERATE,

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to
default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother- In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in
the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

Also do not attempt to reinstall Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are
unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited
memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,
Tech Support

EMBARRASSING MEDICAL Moments
       
        1. A man comes into the ER and yells, 'My wife's going
to have her baby in the cab!' I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab,
lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear.
Suddenly, I noticed that there were several cabs -- and I was in the wrong
one.     
       
       
        Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio , TX         
       
       
        2. At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope
on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.
'Big breaths,'I instructed. 'Yes, they used to be,' replied the
patient.         
       
       
        Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle , WA .       
       
       
        3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I
told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct.
Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of
the family that he had died of a 'massive internal fart.'         
       
       
        Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg       
       
       
        4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment
with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was
having trouble with one of his medications. 'Which one?' I asked.. 'The
patch, the nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours, and
now I'm running out of places to put it!' I had him quickly undress, and
discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see.. Yes, the man had over fifty
patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch
before applying a new one.       
       
       
        Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Cl air, Norfolk , VA.       
       
       
        5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient,
I asked, 'How long have you been bedridden?' After a look of complete
confusion, she answered...'Why, not for about twenty years -- when my
husband was alive.'         
       
       
        Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis , OR         
       
       
        6. I was caring for a woman and asked, 'So, how's your breakfast this
        morning?' 'It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem
        to get used to the taste,' the patient replied. I then asked to see the
        jelly, and the woman produced a foil packet labeled 'KY Jelly.'       
       
       
        Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit , MI         
       
       
        7. A nurse was on duty in the emergency room when a
young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker mohawk, sporting a
variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly
        determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed
on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been
dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, 'Keep off the
grass.' Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, 'Sorry, had to mow the lawn.'         
       
       
        Submitted by RN, no name       
       
       
        AND FINALLY!!!...       
       
       
        8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB , I was
quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To
cover my embarrassment, I had unconsciously formed a habit of
whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this
exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, 'I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?' She
replied, 'No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, 'I wish I
was an Oscar Meyer Wiener.'   
       
       
        Doctor wouldn't submit his name (Can't blame him!)

Giants History / Re: 25 greatest Giants games
August 31, 2008, 04:05:10 PM
"I know it's a loss, but I think you got to list the '58 Championship game against the Colts. It's one of the greatest games ever."

No offense meant Gunga, but to me, who lived through this game, I personally consider it one of the two worst New York championship games of my lifetime. I was just 14 then (and I am 66 now) and I still get sick to my stomach thinking about the so-called "Greatest NFL Game Ever". I remember telling this to our late, great Chris Allen when he talked that game up. It was hateful and I will NEVER put it on any "greatest Giant games" list. Man, a loss is a loss, especially in a game we should have won.

If your wondering what the other "worst championship game" was, it was Game 7 of the 1960 World Series between the Pirates and the Yanks. Yeah, the Maz homerun game. Damn there goes my stomach all over again!  :boooo:

She'd been taught 'housework is a woman's job,'
but one evening, Jenny arrived home from work to find the children
  bathed, one load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer. Dinner was on
the stove, and the table set. She was astonished!

Turned out that Ralph had read an article that
said, 'Wives who work full-time and then had to do their own housework
were too tired to have sex'.

The night went very well. The next day, she told
her office friends all about it. 'We had a great dinner. Ralph even
cleaned  up the kitchen. He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the
laundry  and put it away. I really enjoyed the evening.'

'But what about afterward?' asked her friends.

'Oh, that ..., Ralph was too tired...'

This has been verified as real :

If  you receive an e-mail entitled 'Bedtimes,' delete it IMMEDIATELY.

Do not open it.  Apparently this one is pretty nasty.  It will not only erase everything

on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your

computer.  It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards.  It reprograms

your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR, and uses subspace field

harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.  It will program your phone auto

dial to call only 0898 numbers.  This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.
IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU

ARE SHOWERING.
It will drink ALL your beer.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING? ?
It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company.
It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine If the 'Bedtimes'

message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and

leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub of water.  It will

not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill

your skim milk with whole milk.
***
WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.
***
And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart so hard that your

right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks that will

ignite the furniture nearest you.

Send this warning to everyone!!! 

THERE'S A LOT OF SADNESS IN THE WORLD!  Right now, as you read this,

17 Million people are having SEX!!!
And look at you -- you're on the computer!!!!

babywhales - that was funny!   =))


Choosing a wife:
 
A man wanted to get married.  He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates.    He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.
 
The first does a total make over.  She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man.  She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.
 
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts.  She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes.  As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.
 
The third invests the money in the stock market.  She earns several times the $5,000.
 
She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account.  She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed .
 
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, " When I am worried about getting nervous on
the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I
start to get nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of
the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up
a storm. Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the
following note on the door:

1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.

2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass

6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy,
Junior and the spook.

8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the $$=+ out of him.

9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't
say he was stoned off his ass.

10)We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."

11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this
and eat it for it is my body." He did not say " Eat me" .

12)The Virgin Mary is not called " Mary with the Cherry,.

13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks
for the grub, Yeah God.

14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St.Peter's
not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's

The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Peek-A-Boo) is not just an  athlete. She is now a nurse currently working at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital.

She is not permitted to answer the hospital telephones. It caused too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say,

"Picabo, ICU."

(A good clean joke is hard to find these days)
