    You are just a hopeless romantic.

    While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Morris and his wife listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other."
    He addressed the man, "Can you describe your wife's
    favorite flower?"
    Morris leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "Pillsbury All-Purpose, isn't it?"

    Work for an operator
    ---------------------

    The following are real conversations Directory Enquiries operators
    had with callers, as revealed in interviews with staff at the
    Cardiff DE Centre.

    Caller : I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff,
    please.
    Operator : I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?
    Caller : Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the
    B fell off.

    * * *

    Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
    Operator : Woven? Are you sure?
    Caller : Yes. That's what it says on the label - Woven in Scotland.

    * * *

    Caller : I'd like the RSPCA please.

    Operator : Where are you calling from?

    Caller : The living room

    * * *

    Caller : The water board please.

    Operator : Which department?

    Caller : Tap water.

    * * *

    Operator : How are you spelling that?

    Caller : With letters.

    * * *

    Caller : I'd like the number for a reverend in Cardiff, please.

    Operator : Do you have his name?

    Caller : No, but he has a dog named Ben.

    * * *

    Caller : The Union of Shopkeepers and Alligators please.

    Operator : You mean the Amalgamated Union of Shopkeepers?

    * * *

    On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone
    box told the worried operator: "I haven't got a pen so I'm steaming
    up the window to write the number on.

    Prison Versus Housewives
    ------------------------
    In prison, you get three square meals a day.

    At home, you cook three square meals a day and try to get your
    kids to eat it.

    In prison, you get an hour each day in the yard to exercise and
    mingle.

    At home you get to clean the yard up so you can mow it so your
    kids can spread more toys all over it so that you can go out
    and clean it again because little Jr. can't sleep without his
    latest lego creation.

    In prison, you get to watch TV, cable even.

    At home, you get to listen to your children fight over the remote
    control and get treated to hours and hours of mindless cartoons
    thanks to cable.

    In prison, you can read whatever you want and attend college for
    free.

    At home, you get to read weekly readers starring Dick, Jane, and
    Spot and worry about how to send Jr. to college and still be able
    to eat for the next twenty years.

    In prison, all your medical care is free.

    At home, you have to pawn your mother's silver and fill out trillions
    of papers for insurance and hope the doctor will see you before you die.

    In prison, if you have visitors, all you do is go to a room, sit,
    talk and then say good-bye when you are ready or your time is up.

    At home, you get to clean for days in advance and then cook and
    clean up after your guests and hope that they will one day leave.

    In prison, you can spend your free time writing letters or just
    hang out in your own space all day.

    At home, you get to clean your space and everyone else's space, too,
    and what the heck is free time again?

    In prison, you get your own personal toilet.

    At home, you have to physically hold the bathroom door shut in order
    to keep from having someone standing over you demanding to know how
    long till you're done so you can do something for them.

    In prison, the prison laundry takes care of all your dirty clothes.

    At home, you get to take care of them yourself, plus everybody else's,
    and get yelled at because somebody's favorite shirt isn't clean.

    In prison, they take you everywhere you need to go.

    At home, you take everybody else where they need to go.

    In prison, the guards transport all your personal effects for you
    and make sure nothing is missing.

    At home, you have to lug around everybody else's stuff in your purse
    and then wonder who went in it and took your last dollar.

    In prison, there are no screaming or whining children or spouses
    asking you to do something else for them, or screaming at you because
    you didn't.

    At home....stop me when I get to the downside of jail, will ya?

    Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing
    a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the
    ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

    The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a
    replacement.

    Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

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

    An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys.

    If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the one who
    said,"Quit while you're ahead?"

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

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

    Get the last word in: Apologize.

    Thoughts for a Friday..... Give a person a fish and you feed them for a
    day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for
    weeks.

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

    Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks
    about seeing UFOs like they use to?

    Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

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

    Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a
    substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

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

    Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. Some have come
    to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

    How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a
    whole box to start a campfire?

    AND THE # 1 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You read about all these
    Terrorists--most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas,
    some for as long as 10-15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster; you are two
    days late with a video and those people are all over you. I think we should
    put Blockbuster in charge of immigration.

    Well I wasn't foolin' around the day I said I do
    But many a night I wished that I had been a-foolin' too
    I know it's foolish taking all this misery
    But when it's you a fool I'll always be

    So honey fool around. You know right where I'm at
    And don't worry if I'm lonesome cause I'm used to that
    And when you're tire of foolin' around with two or three
    Then come on home and fool around with me

    I know that you've been foolin' around on me right from the start
    So I'll give back your ring and I'll take back my heart
    And when you're tire of foolin' round with two or three
    Just come on home and fool around with me.

    Subject: Pretty Good
    While walking down the street one day a female head of state is
    tragically hit by a truck and dies. Her soul arrives in heaven and is met
    by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter.
    "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high
    official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with
    you."
    "No problem, just let me in," says the lady.
    "Well, I'd like to but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is
    have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose
    where to spend eternity."
    "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven," says the head of
    state.

    "I'm sorry but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts her
    to the elevator and she goes down, down, down to Hell. The doors open and
    she finds herself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance
    is a club and standing in front of it are all her friends and other
    politicians who had worked with her, everyone is very happy and in
    evening dress. They run to greet her, hug her, and reminisce about the
    good times they had while getting rich at expense of the people. They
    play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar. Also
    present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good
    time dancing and telling jokes.

    They are having such a good time that, before she realizes it, it is time
    to go. Everyone gives her a big hug and waves while the elevator rises.
    The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on Heaven where St.
    Peter is waiting for her.
    "Now it's time to visit Heaven." So 24 hours pass with the head of state
    joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing
    the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before she realizes it,
    the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
    "Well then, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now choose
    your eternity."

    She reflects for a minute, then the head of state answers: "Well, I would
    never have said it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I
    would be better off in Hell."

    So Saint Peter escorts her to the elevator and she goes down, down, down
    to Hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and she is in the middle of a
    barren land covered with waste and garbage. She sees all her friends,
    dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. The
    Devil comes over to her and lays his arm on her neck.

    "I don't understand," stammers the head of state. Yesterday I was here
    and there was a golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar and
    danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland full of garbage
    and my friends look miserable.

    The Devil looks at her, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning.
    Today you voted for us!"

    Shakey went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble.
    Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it.
    Then, when I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on
    top of it. Doc, you've gotta help me, I'm going crazy!"

    "Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the
    psychiatrist. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll
    cure your fears."

    "How much do you charge?"

    "My fee is per visit."

    "That's awfully expensive, Doc," reckoned Shakey. "Let
    me sleep on it, and I'll get back to you."

    Six months later, the doctor and Shakey crossed paths.

    "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the
    psychiatrist.

    "For a visit? Heck, a bartender cured me for !"

    "How do you figure?" asked the psychiatrist.

    "He told me to cut the legs off the bed!"

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

    A pipe burst in a lawyer's house, so he called a plumber.

    The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious
    plumber-type things for a while, and handed the lawyer a
    bill for $600.

    The lawyer exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! I don't even make
    that much as a lawyer!"

    The plumber replied sympathetically, "Neither did I when I
    was a lawyer."

    Government Efficiency

    Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a
    desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night. So they
    created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

    Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without
    instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people,
    one person to write the instructions and one person to do time studies.

    Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the
    tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired
    two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.

    Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they
    created the following positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer,
    then hired two people.

    Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So
    they created an administrative section and hired three people, an
    Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal
    Secretary.

    Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year
    and we are $18,000 over budget. We must cutback overall cost."

    So they laid off the night watchman.
