After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said, 'Let me see if I've got this right:
'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride. 'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job. You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the state exams.
'You want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps. You want me to do all this and then you tell me
'I CAN'T PRAY?'

Do you know why?




When a woman wears a leather dress, a man's heart beats quicker, and his throat gets dry. He goes weak in the knees, and he begins to think irrationally.

Ever wonder why?

It's because she smells like a new truck!

Advice from an old farmer;

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

Don't judge folks by their relatives.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in..

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Laughin` thing... Men's world!
Man: Is there any way for long life?

Dr: Get married.

Man: Will it help?

Dr: No, but the thought of long life will never come.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Why do couples hold hands during their wedding?

It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands before the fight
begins!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





It's funny when people discuss Love Marriage vs Arranged.

It's like asking someone, if suicide is better or being murdered.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




It is difficult to understand GOD. He makes such beautiful things as
women and then he turns them into Wives.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





If u r married please ignore this message, for everyone else:

Happy Independence Day



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about
something you say.

After marriage, he'll fall asleep before you finish.

Man: Don't take any chances. Burn the body and bury the ash.

Fact of life: One woman brings you into this world crying & the other
ensures you continue to do so for the rest of your life!

Summary of Life

GREAT TRUTHS THAT K*ds HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your brothert hits you, don't hit him back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
Cool You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polk a-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.



GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.


GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.


THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.


SUCCESS (aka the cycle of life):

At age 4 s success is . . Not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 17 success is . . Having a driver's license.
At age 35 success is . . .Having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money.
At age 70 success is . . . Having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 80 success is . . . Not piddling in your pants.

The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less.

Default A worring study on beer
Beer.....Men, we may have to reconsider 'beer' drinking.

This is worrying.........

Beer contains female hormones. Last month, Wits University and RAU scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects :

1) Argued over nothing.

2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.

3) Gained weight.

4) Talked excessively without making sense.

5) Became overly emotional

6) Couldn't drive.

7) Failed to think rationally.

8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary. Send this to the men you know to warn them about the hazards of drinking too much beer! It may be hazardous to male gender attributes. Our more noble attributes at that.........

A little old lady is walking down the street
dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her.

One of the bags rips, and every once in a while a
$20 bill falls out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stops her, and says,

'Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of your
bag.'

'Oh, really? Darn!' says the little old lady. 'I'd
better go back, and see if I can find them. Thanks for
telling me..'

'Well, now, not so fast,' says the cop. 'How did you
get all that money?' 'You didn't steal it, did you?'

Oh, no', says the little old lady.
'You see, my back yard is right next to the football
stadium parking lot.
On game days, a lot of fans come and pee through the
fence into my flower garden.

So, I stand behind the fence with my hedge clippers.
Each time some guy sticks his thing through the
fence, I say,'$20 or off it comes.'

'Well, that seems only fair.' laughs the cop. OK?
Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?'

'Well, you know', says the little old lady, 'Not everybody pays.'
