Today, March 7, Is My Anniversary!

Have you ever tried to quit smoking? Smoking had a monster grip on me for 20 years! I didn't think I could break the habit! Well, 42 years ago today, I quit smoking "cold turkey". I was in a bar in Cadillac, Michigan with my wife and another couple. I went up to the cigarette machine to buy a pack of smokes but I thought they wanted to much money....45 cents! So I didn't buy any. Went back to my table and talked to my buddy Bruce, who smoked also. We both wanted to quit smoking! So he proposed that we quit and the first one to smoke would have to take the other couple out for a night on the town! I agreed! He started smoking within a week of that night! I never, never smoked another cigarette in my life! My wife and I had a great night out with my buddy, Bruce and his wife at Bruce's expense!laugh laugh

Healthwise....greatest decision I have ever made!

Have anyone of you quit smoking "cold turkey"? Or have you tried?

This is a friendly blog for anyone who wants to tell their story!thumbs up

Perspective

Dorothy and Edna, two "senior" widows, are talking.

Dorothy: "That nice George Johnson asked me out for a date. I know you
went out with him last week, and I wanted to talk with you about him
before I give him my answer."

Edna: "Well, I'll tell you. He shows up at my apartment punctually at
7 pm, dressed like such a gentleman in a fine suit, and he brings me
such beautiful flowers! Then he takes me downstairs. And what's there;
a limousine, uniformed chauffeur and all. Then he takes me out for
dinner; a marvellous dinner, lobster, champagne, dessert, and
after-dinner drinks. Then we go see a show. Let me tell you Dorothy, I
enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure! So then we
are coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL.
completely crazy, he tears off my expensive new dress and has his way
with me three times!"

Dorothy: "Goodness gracious!... so you are telling me I shouldn't go?"

Edna: "No, no, no... I'm just saying, wear an old dress."rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

The Salesman

Morris walks into an insurance office and asks for a job.

"We don't need anyone" they replied.

"You can't afford not to hire me. I can sell anyone, anytime, anything!"

"Well we have two prospects that No One has been able to sell. If you can sell just one, you have a job."

He was gone about two hours, and returned and handed them two checks, one for $25,000.00 and another for $50,000.00.

"How in the world did you do that?" they asked.

"I told you I'm the worlds best salesman, I can sell anyone, anywhere, anytime!"

"Did you get a urine sample?" they asked him.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Well, if you sell a policy over $20,000.00 the company requires a urine sample. Take these two bottles and go back and get urine samples."

Morris was gone about 6 hours and they were fixing to close when in he walks in with two five gallon buckets, one in each hand. He sets the buckets down, and reaches in his shirt pocket and produces two bottles of urine, and sets them on the desk and says "Here's Mr.Brown's and this one is Mr.Smith's."

"That's good" they said, "but what's in those two buckets?"

"Well, I passed by the Holiday Inn and they were having a state teachers convention, so I stopped and sold them a group policy!"

What are ARAPROSDOKIANS?

ARAPROSDOKIANS are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected. Winston Churchill loved them.

Some examples:

1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

2. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

3. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.


4. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.


5 Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.


6. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it isn't.


7. To steal ideas from someone is plagiarism. To steal from many is called research.


8. In filling in an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency', notify: I put 'DOCTOR.'


9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.


10. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut,
and still think they look sexy.


11. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.


12. A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory.


13. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.


14. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Nor is there any future in it.


15. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.


16. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.


17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.


And my personal favorite:
I am not arguing with you, I am explaining why you are wrong.

Family Togetherness.............

A man and woman were celebrating 50 years together. Their three kids, all very successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.

"Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," gushed son number one... "Sorry I'm running late... had an emergency, you know how it is, didn't have time to get you both a present".

Not to worry," said the dad..." the important thing is that we're all here together today".

Son number two arrived and announced, "You and Mom still look great, Dad. Just flew in from L.A. and didn't have time to get you a present... Sorry".

It's nothing," said the father, "Glad you were able to be here".

Just then the daughter arrived, "Hello both of you, Happy Anniversary! I'm sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town and I was really busy packing... so I didn't have time to get you guys anything".

Again the father said, "I really don't care, at least the five of us are together today".

After they had all finished dessert, the father put down his knife and fork, looked up and said, "Listen up, all three of you, there's something your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You see, we were very poor. Despite this, we were able to raise each of you and send you to college. All through the years your mother and I knew that we loved each other very much but... we just never found the time to get married".

The three kids gasp and said, "You mean we're bastards"?

Yep," said the dad..."and cheap ones too"!

Cell Phones In Public

After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.


As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice:
“Hi sweetheart it’s Eric, I’m on the train – yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting – no, honey,
not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss.


No sweetheart,
you’re the only one in my life – yes, I’m sure, cross my heart” etc., etc. Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking

loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice:
” C'mon, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!”

Eric doesn’t use his cell phone in public any longer.

Old Age

Last Will and Testament: Being of sound mind, I spent all my money.

A man has reached middle age when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor instead of by the police.

Middle age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier.

You know you're into old age when you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.

The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress.

As we grow older year by year, my husband always mourns: the less and less we feel our oats, the more we feel our corns.

You're getting old when getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.

You're getting old when you're sitting in a rocker and you can't get it started.

You're getting old when tying one on means fastening your MedicAlert bracelet.

You're getting old when you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.

It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

You know you're getting old when you stop buying green bananas.

For My Friends On CS

This is a traditional Irish blessing!

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
Amen.
