An elderly couple went to see their doctor for their annual physical. Upon completion of their physical their doctor said they were both in good health and asked if they had any questions. The couple both said they were having a problem remembering things and always forgeting appointments or special events. The doctor advised them to carry a pad of paper and write things down so they wouldn't forget.
Next day the husband asked his wife if she would get him a bowl of ice cream and he said,
" Write it down so you won't forget " As she was leaving he said, " and as long as your going, put some strawberries on top of the ice cream " and he said, " Write it down so you won't forget "
Then as she was leaving he said, " and as long as your going put some whip cream on top of it all "
and then said, "Write it down so you won't forget " Well she left and came back with two baked eggs sunnyside up and bacon. The husband then said, " I told you to write it down so wouldn't forget because you forgot the TOAST. Big grin

Warning for all of my friends - Thieves are out there!

Watch out this could happen to you sooner than you think if it hasn't
already.

Theft Problem IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

You've heard about people who have been abducted and had
their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves.

My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years
ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else's
thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the
texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs were these and
what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking
for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned
myself to living out my life in jeans. And then the
thieves struck again.

My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took
pains to match my new rear-end to the thighs they had
stuck me with earlier. But my new butt was attached at
least three inches lower than my original! I realized
I'd have to give up my jeans in favor of long
skirts.

Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I
was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper
arm
swing
to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was
really getting scary - my body was being replaced one
section at a time. What could they do to me
next?

When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a
turkey neck, I decided to tell my story. Women of the world, wake up
and smell the coffee! Those 'plastic' surgeons are
using REAL replacement body parts -stolen from you and
me! The next time someone you know has something
'lifted', look again - was it lifted from you?

THIS IS NOT A HOAX. This is happening to women everywhere every
night.

WARN YOUR FRIENDS!
P.S. Last year I thought some one had stolen my Boobs. I was lying
in bed and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was
relieved to see that they ha d just been hiding in my
armpits as I slept. Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.

"Why?" I asked.

THREE LABRADOR DOGS

Three dogs are sitting in the waiting room at the vet's when they strike up a conversation

The black Lab turns to the chocolate Lab and says , 'So why are you here?'

The brown Lab replies, 'I'm a pisser. I piss on everything....the sofa, the curtains, the cat, the kids. But the final straw was last night when I pissed in the middle of my owner's bed.'

The black Lab says , 'So what is the vet going to do?'

'Gonna cut my nuts off,' comes the reply from the chocolate Lab. 'They reckon it'll calm me down.'

The black Lab then turns to the yellow lab and asks , Why are you here?'

The yellow Lab says , 'I'm a digger. I dig under fences, dig up flowers and trees, I dig just for the hell of it. When I'm inside, I dig up the carpets.

But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in my owners couch.'

'So what are they going to do to you?' the black Lab inquires .

'Looks like I'm losing my nuts too', the dejected yellow Lab says

The yellow Lab then turns to the black Lab and asks ,'Why are you here?'

'I'm a humper,' the black Lab says . 'I'll hump anything. I'll hump the cat, a pillow, the table, fence posts, whatever. I want to hump everything I see.

Yesterday, my owner had just got out of the shower and was bending down to dry her toes, and I just couldn't help myself. I hopped on her back and started hammering away'

The yellow and chocolate Labs exchange a sad glance and say , 'So, nuts off for you too, huh?'

The black Lab says ....'No, I'm here to get my nails clipped.

I can take it.
My social workerish wife already dishes it out pretty good. Black eye
I try to give her a weekly social work joke.

Another two for your consideration:

-How many social workers does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They form a committee and write a paper on coping with darkness.
-In a perfect world, what would a social worker say to their clients? Do you want fries with that?

Did you hear about the guy at a Detroit Tigers game who got a couple of lemonades for himself and his 7 year old son, only to be told by security that he had given alcohol to his kid (it was listed as Mike's Lemonade, and he didn't know that it had alcohol.) His kid got taken away from him for a week by social services before the judge gave his kid back to him. Nobody from security to the cop to the courts thought that the guy purposely tried to get his kid drunk (or that the kid had drank enough to get drunk for that matter.)

Social services apparently felt that the father was unfit to care for his child until he got up to speed on the adult beverages industry.

The saddest part? This is a true story.

An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally said that the bar is closing. So the Irishman stood up to leave and fell flat on his face. He tried to stand one more time; same result. He figured he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up. Once outside he stood up and fell flat on his face. So he decided to crawl the 4 blocks to his home. When he arrived at the door he stood up and again fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and into his bedroom. When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up. This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into bed and is sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting,

"So, you've been out drinking again!!"

"What makes you say that?" he asked, putting on an innocent look.

"The pub called -- you left your wheelchair there again."

The Hokey Pokey -- Shakespearean Style!

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke.
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from heaven's yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
