Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.... MAN: "Hello" Woman: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" MAN: "Yes" Woman: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat.It's only $1,000. is it OK if I buy it?" MAN: "Sure...go ahead if you like it that much." Woman: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new LX 470 SUV. I saw one I really liked." MAN: "How much?" Woman: "$90.000" MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." Woman: "Great! Oh, and one more thing...The house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950.000" MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of $900.000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. It is clearly a pretty good price." Woman: "OK, I'll see you later! I love you so much!!!" MAN: "bye! I love you, too" The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape... He smiles and asks "Anyone know who this phone belongs to????"
A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk walks into the water and bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze. Whereupon he asks the drunk, 'Are you ready to find Jesus?' 'Yes I am' replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother have you found Jesus?' The drunk replies, 'No, I haven't.' The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and asks again, 'Have you found Jesus, my brother?' The drunk again answers, 'No, I have not found Jesus.' By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds. When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up.. The preacher asks the drunk again, 'For the love of God, have you found Jesus?' The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher, 'Are you sure this is where he fell in?'
One and a half months....wow...that's a bit long for a first time meeting, don't you think? What kind of a job entitles him to be away for such a long time or perhaps he's accumulated his leave for just such an occasion. Hope you are not planning on keeping him at your place...you don't know him...remember??
I think you should let the X have the kids because at this stage in their lives they need stability and sadly you are not in a position to provide that. Forget your issues with her and do right by your kids - think of their welfare.
A very successful Businessman parked his brand new Porsche Car at the front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues .
As he got out, a truck came along too close to the kerb and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Porsche , his lights flashing.
But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the Businessman started screaming hysterically about how his Porsche , which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how hard the body shop tries to make it new again.
After the Businessman finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. 'I can't believe how materialistic you people are,' he said.
'You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life.'
'How can you say such a thing?' asked the Businessman.
The cop replied, 'Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!'
Pursue the divorce - freedom is priceless. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll step away from the negotiating table - btw the negotiations are about what he thinks should be paid to him for signing on the dotted line.
Some (me included) are here just to lounge in the forums (popcorn and coke in hand)and maybe make a couple of friends. So it does not matter if someone does not put up their pic (which in any case could be fake...I've seen some Bollywood film actors getting pride of place)- who cares if its insecurity or what have you...you want to befriend the guy/gal...not bed him/her..
