145.0. "I laughed hysterically when......." by MVDS02::BELFORTI (Ferroequinologists Unite!) Wed Sep 01 1993 20:37

    A couple weeks ago I made the final arrangements for my trip in
    November.  We had rented the house waaaayyyy back last year, paid for
    it in March, and just recently got the plane tickets, car rental and
    one night at a hotel (the night we arrive, the house won't be ready for
    us until the next day).....

    Yesterday I was doing some checking for Paula Otten, with Thomas
    Cook... to see what other hotels were available, right at the airport
    (no driving to heaven-knows, at almost midnight).... I mentioned to the
    person on the phone that I was booked in the Comfort Inn, in Orlando...
    she sounded kind of funny as she talked to me, but nothing came of it. 
    I got a call from the woman who made my arrangements... seems battle
    lines have changes since my agent was last in Orlando... and the
    Comfort Inn use to be a really nice place to stay.... but now!!!!

    


    It's in the red light district!!!!!

    Steven and Brent see nothing wrong with that arrangement!!!  yeah,
    sure!

    Well, this weekend the Scouting troop that my son, Matthew, belongs
    to had a father and son cake auction.  The men had to bake and 
    decorate a cake with no help what-so-ever from mom.  Then on Sunday
    they auctioned them off to the highest bidder.
    
    Well, Alan and Matthew set to work Saturday afternoon to bake a two
    layer chocolate cake. (Note: this was a boxed cake mix) Alan made 
    Matthew read all the directions on the box, then showed him how to use 
    the mixer.  They even timed the two minutes for mixing...so far so
    good... yah, right!  When Matthew was done mixing, he lifted the mixer
    out of the bowl, with the beaters still turning at full speed........
    (picture...brown specks all over my pantry, and on my freshly painted
    walls!)  At this point I felt it imperrative that I leave the house
    for fear of a break-down.
    
    When I arrived back home after a few hours of shopping, there were the
    fully baked cakes, two square pans, sitting on top of the stove...still
    in the pans, cold, and stuck to the bottom of the pan.  They looked a
    little odd, so I went over to inspect a little closer.  Each cake was
    about this thick........

    _________________________________________________________________
    
    The cake didn't rise......remember, I told you this was a boxed cake
    mix...didn't rise, and it was stuck in the pan!!!  hahahahahahahahaha
    I laughed *SO* hard!!!!!  I had to use two spatulas at the same time to
    try to get the cake out of the pans for them.  One came out in almost
    one piece, the other was a *mess*! 
    
    Then came the decorating.  They used blue frosting to look like the
    ocean, and then covered it with shark bites and gummy worms!!!  It was
    hillarious!!!!  You had to see it!!!  A double layer cake that was less
    than two inches high, and most of that height was the frosting!!!!
    heheheehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
    
    Of course I *had to bid on it at the auction, and some other guy really
    wanted it too, so I ended up having to bid $20.00 in order to get it!!

    OK folks, here's a side splitter.......
    
    This past weekend my boss went away for the Thanksgiving holiday with
    his family.  When they came home on sunday, they found their kitchen
    window smashed.  Fearing the worst, they went to a neighbor's and
    called the police.  When the police arrived they all went into the
    house to see what was taken.  Nothing had been taken, in fact something
    had been left for them...It turned out that a *bird* had flown right
    through the window!  They didn't know what kind...it was in the kitchen
    sink covered with glass.  Animal control was called to remove the
    deceased bird.  When they arrived, they were shocked!  The bird was a 
    PARTRIDGE!!!  
    
    Is this an omen being so close to christmas??? The first thing I asked
    him when he told me the story was..."And was there a pear tree coming
    out of the drain too??"  hahahahahahahahahahahaha

    	hehe....good one Terrie! :)
    
    	Actually, I've heard of partridge and grouse smashing into windows
    alot during the fall/early winter. It has something to do with the
    pressure changes screwing up their brain. We had one crash through our
    neighbors sliding glass door, and another break it's neck trying to fly
    through a class room window in my old school! Something neat to show
    the science class....("see this here birds neck?...") :*)

    This is just to let you know that I have what I think is a funny joke
    about women..in general.. but I am frightened to enter it in here in
    case anyone reads more into it than plain humour.. so if you'd like a
    copy, please mail me. It is not adult..just a hoot.

I laughed hysterically when -- I read the following. ;)

     DEAR DIARY,
     
     AUG. 12:  	Moved to our new home in Connecticut.  It is so 
     		beautiful here. The mountains and woodlands are 
     		so majestic. Can hardly wait to see snow covering 
     		them.
     OCT. 14:  	Connecticut is the most beautiful place on Earth.  
     		The leaves are turned all the shades of red and orange. 
     		Went for a ride through the beautiful mountains and saw 
     		some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the 
     		most wonderful animals on Earth. This must be paradise.  
     		I LOVE IT HERE!
     NOV. 11:	Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone
     		wanting to kill such gorgeous creatures. Hope it will
     		snow soon.  I LOVE IT HERE!

     DEC. 2:	It snowed last night!  Woke up to find everything
     		blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard.  We
     		went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and
     		shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won),
     		and when the snowplow came by, we had to shovel the 
     		driveway again.  What a beautiful place.  
     		I LOVE CONNECTICUT!
     DEC. 12:	More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his
     		trick again to the driveway.  I LOVE IT HERE!
     DEC. 19:	More snow last night!  Couldn't get out of the driveway
     		to get to work. I am exhausted from shoveling.
     		STINKING SNOWPLOW!
     DEC. 22:	More of that white crud fell last night.  I have
     		blisters on my hands from shoveling.  I think the
     		snowplow driver hides around the corner and waits
     		until I'm done shoveling the driveway.  SWINE!
     DEC. 25:	MERRY STINKING CHRISTMAS!  More stinking snow.  If
     		I ever get my hands on the maniac who drives the
     		snowplow, I swear I'll choke the cretin.  Don't know
     		why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the
     		stupid ice!
     DEC. 27:	More angel poop last night.  Been inside for 3 days
     		except for shoveling out the driveway after the snow-
     		plow goes through every time.  Can't go anywhere, car's
     		stuck in a mountain of white crud.  The weatherman says
     		to expect another 10 inches tonight.  Do you know how
     		many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?
     DEC. 28:	The degenerate weatherman was wrong.  We got 34 inches
     		of that white stinking crud this time.  At this rate
     		it won't melt before summer.  The snowplow got stuck
     		up the road and that mouth=breathing driver came to the
     		door and asked to borrow my shovel.  After I told him
     		I had broken 6 shovels already thanks to him, I BROKE
     		THE LAST ONE OVER HIS STINKING HEAD!

     JAN. 4:	Finally got out of the house today.  Went to the store
     		for food and on the way back a cursed deer ran in front
     		of the car and I hit it.  Did $3,000. damage.  Those
     		brainless brutes should be exterminated.  
     		WISH THE HUNTERS HAD KILLED THEM ALL LAST NOVEMBER!
     
     MAY 3:	Took the car to the garage in town.  Would you believe 
     		the thing is rusting out from all the salt those lunatics 
     		from the road department put all over the roads?

     MAY 10:	Moved to Florida.  I can't imagine why anyone in their
     		right mind would ever live in that God-forsaken state
     		of Connecticut.

145.1750 Facts about MenZEKE::STARBRIGHTSerenityTue Jun 07 1994 01:20167
ILHW: I got this in email!!!!
    
    Serenity

Rita Rudner's 50
facts about men.

1.  Men like to barbecue.  Men will cook if danger is involved.

2.  Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage.  They've
    experienced pain and bought jewelry.

3.  If you buy your husband or boyfriend a video camera, for the first
    few weeks he has it, lock the door when you go to the bathroom.  Most
    of my husband's early films end with a scream and a flush.

4.  Be careful of men who are bald and rich; the arrogance of "rich"
    usually cancels out the nice of "bald."

5.  Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible.  In a world
    where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.

6.  Men are very confident people.  My husband is so confident that
    when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates
    he can help his team.  If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players
    from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get
    off the phone in case they call him.

7.  If it's attention you want, don't get involved with a man during
    play-off season.

8.  Men like phones with lots of buttons.  It makes them feel important.

9.  Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning.  Not
    being the first is upsetting to their psyches.

10. All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals.

11.  The way a man looks at himself in a mirror will tell you if he can ever
     care about anyone else.

12.  Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public.  They can learn
     in private; in public they have to know.

13.  Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps.

14.  All men are afraid of eyelash curlers.  I sleep with one under my
     pillow instead of a gun.

15.  A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner.  These men usually
     have jobs and bathe.

16.  Men love watches with multiple functions.  My husband has one that is a
     combination address book, telescope and piano.

17.  All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship."  These
     seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Schwarzkopf.

18.  Men are sensitive in strange ways.  If a man has built a fire and the
     last log does not burn, he will take it personally.

19.  Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough to get
     a bikini wax.

20.  All men think that they're nice guys.  Some of them are not.  Contact
     me for a list of names.

21.  Men don't get cellulite.  God might just be a man.

22.  Men have an easier time buying bathing suits.  Women have two types:
     depressing and more depressing.  Men have two types: nerdy and not
     nerdy.

23.  Men have higher body temperatures than women.  If your heating goes out
     in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man.  Men are like portable
     heaters that snore.

24.  Women take clothing much more seriously than men.  I've never seen a
     man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed; get me out
     of here.  There's another man wearing a black tuxedo."

25.  Most men hate to shop.  That's why the men's department is usually on
     the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.

26.  If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or more
     types of lettuce, he is serious.

27.  If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right," if he a)
     got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in
     for a nasty surprise.  The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on
     cocoons and butterflies.

28.  Men own basketball teams.  Every year cheerleaders' outfits get tighter
     and briefer, and players' shorts get bagggier and longer.

29.  No man is charming all of the time.  Even Cary Grant is on record
     saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.

30.  When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

31.  When four or more women get together, they talk about men.

32.  Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.

33.  Men are less sentimental than women.  No man has ever seen the movie
     THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.

34.  Most women are introspective: "Am I in love?  Am I emotionally and
     creatively fulfilled?"  Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win?
     How's my car?"

35.  If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget...he
     didn't lose your number...he didn't die.  He just didn't want to call
     you.

36.  Men hate to lose.  I once beat my husband at tennis.  I asked him, "Are
     we going to have sex again?"  He said, "Yes, but not with each other."

37.  Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do it out
     of sight of women.

38.  Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem.
     "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a
     challenge.
     If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you...I want
     to marry you...I want to have your children."  Sometimes they leave
     skid marks.

39.  Men accept compliments much better than women do.  Example: "Mitch, you
     look great."  Mitch: "Thanks."  On the other side: "Ruth, you look
     great." Ruth: "I do?  Must be the lighting."

40.  Impulse buying is not macho.  Men rarely call the Home Shopping
     Network.

41.  Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.

42.  Only men who have worn a ski suit understand how complicated it is for
     a woman to go to the bathroom when she's wearing a jumpsuit.

43.  Men don't feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do because
     their clothes all button and zip in the front.  Women's dresses usually
     button and zip in the back.  We need men emotionally and sexually, but
     we also need men to help us get dressed.

44.  Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with
     superheros.
     Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with
     Barbie.

45.  When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she
     will assume she has gained weight.  When a man tries on clothing from his
     closet that feels tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.

46.  Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause.  With female
     menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes.  Male menopause - you
     get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.

47.  Men forget everything; women remember everything.

48.  That's why men need instant replays in sports.  They've already
     forgotten what happened.

49.  Men would like monogamy better if it sounded less like monotony.

50.  All men would still really like to own a train set.

    *LAUGH*
    
    gosh comes pretty close to reality...have a few more...
    
    51. A man will NEVER get tampons for you cos then everybody will
        know his sexlife is nill at that point.
    
    52. Living with a man means not having to sweep the floor...his
        clothes will do the job for you.
