LIVER
& CHEESE
Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a
beautiful, enticing, female Poodle.
The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort to be the one
to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her at the same
time.
The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering on themselves
and hoping for just a glance from her in return.
Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she
decides to be kind and tells them, "The first one who can use the words
'liver' and 'cheese' together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence
can go out with me."
The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says, "I love
liver and cheese."
"Oh, how childish," said the Poodle. "That shows no imagination or
intelligence whatsoever."
She turns to the tall, shiny Golden Retriever and says "How well can
you do?"
"Um....I HATE liver and cheese," blurts the Golden Retriever.
"My, my" said the Poodle. "I guess it's hopeless. That's just as dumb
as the Lab's sentence."
She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, "How about you,
little guy?"
The last of the three, tiny in stature but big in fame and finesse, is
the Taco Bell Chihuahua.
He gives her a smile, a sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the
Lab and says...
"Liver alone.
Cheese mine."

When Insults Had Class
There was a time when words were
used beautifully. These glorious insults are from an era when
cleverness with words was still valued, before a great portion of
the English language was boiled down to four-letter words!
The exchange between Churchill
and Lady Astor: She said, "If you were my husband, I'd give you
poison," and he said, "If you were my wife, I'd take it."
Gladstone, a member of
Parliament, to Benjamin Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on
the gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, sir,"
said Disraeli, "On whether I embrace your policies or your
mistress."

Some other uses for my favorite
beverage
1. To remove a bandage
painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves
adhesive.
2. To clean the caulking around
bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the
caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka
kills mold and mildew.
3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean
cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass
and kills germs.
4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and
letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The
vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot
dry.
6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to
cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of
shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins
from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.
8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees
or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc
freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches,
pain or black eyes.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender
flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the
sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply
the tincture to aches and pains.
11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest
and back as a liniment.
12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the
urushiol oil from your skin.

Luggage
I couldn't find my luggage at the
airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the
woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to
worry as they were trained professionals and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"
