Jerry was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with whom to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
'I may look like just an ordinary man,' he said to her, 'but in just a few years, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars.'

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at estate planning than men.

CBC has a cool little video that the programmers insert at the end of any TV program to fill in the space til the next program begins, to educate us about the beauty of our wildlife, flora and fauna, and the necessary protection of that wildlife.

Those video inserts are called 'Hinterland: Who's Who.'

Here's a little satirical look at those video clips. This is called Hinterland: What's What.
Enjoy!

I found this delightful comedienne in an e-mail form a friend. She makes me laugh, every single time I watch her! Hope you enjoy her portrayal of life!

My baby sister sent this to me this week...
I laughed out loud for a few minutes, then showed it to Miss Crystal, my front office manager...
She also found it amusing and said, "This is what goes on in my home!"

Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette after not seeing one another for some time.

After inquiring about each other's health one asked how the other's husband was doing.

"Oh! Ted died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up a cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped down dead right there in the middle of the vegetable patch!"

"Oh dear! I'm very sorry." replied her friend "What did you do?"

"Opened a can of peas instead."

Neil Armstrong had a secret. As commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," were televised to earth and heard by millions. But, just before he re-entered the lunar module, he made the egnimatic remark, "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!"

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!" statement meant, but he always just smiled, not answering the question.

On July 5th, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky has passed, so Neil felt he could now answer the question.

In 1938, when he was a small kid in a mid-west town, he was playing baseball with a friend in his backyard. His friend hit the ball which landed in his neighbour's yard, by their bedroom window. His neighbours were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky.
"Sex? You want sex? You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Someone sent me this animated short video of a typical cat and his sleeping human.
I laugh every single time I watch this.
Typical cat!
The artist must have a cat, because he knows intimately the characteristics of a feline.
Check this out...Simon's Cat entertains!

The other day, I found this one:

Cat Rules #67:
The best times to inform humans of your dish's emptiness are when they are unable to ignore you, such as when they are sleeping or on the toilet, or you are in one's lap.
~ Harold Reynolds

This is hilarious!
I've watched it a few times and it just makes me laugh.
Nothing better than that, I say!

Here's a funky thing for you to check out...odd shower curtains!
Weird, I know...but look, anyway!

You know you are living in 2009 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 or 60 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go back and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on-line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : - )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Welcome to the electronic age, whether you want to be in it or not!

Recently, I posted a few cartoons by Simon...cartoons about cats.
This guy KNOWS cats inside and out. He draws their characteristics to perfection.
So, I was delighted, totally and completely, when a friend emailed me Simon's new cartoon!
Here you are...I love sharing these!

Rules for Cats Who Have A House To Run:
#78 When walking among the dishes on the dinner table, be prepared to look surprised and hurt when scolded. The idea is to force your humans to reveal that they tolerate this behavior when company is not there.
