A new supermarket opened near my house. It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
 
When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay.
 
When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.
 
The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.
 
I don't buy toilet paper there any more.

Irish author Brendan Behan:
 
This is a true story of the late Irish author Brendan Behan who one night collapsed in a diabetic coma in a Dublin street.
 
It was at a time when he was at the height of his drunken notoriety and passes-by naturally thought he was dead drunk.
 
They took him to the nearby surgery of one of Dublin's most fashionable and respected doctors.
 
The doctor decided to take a cardiograph and, somewhat nervous of his patient, thought to humor him.
 
He explained the workings of the cardiograph needle as it registered the faint heartbeats of the very sick and semiconscious Brendan.
 
"That needle there is writing down your pulses, Mr.Behan, and I suppose, in its own way, it is probably the most important thing you have ever written."
 
To which Behan replied: "Aye, and it's straight from me heart, too."

From Pat  O'C
 
As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load."
 
The trucker ignores her and proceeds  down the street.
 
When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again.  She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window.  As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"
 
Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.
 
At the third red light, the same thing happens again.
 
All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"
 
When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light.
 
When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde.
 
He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says...
 
"Hi, my name is Kevin, it's winter in Michigan and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"

Murphy said to his daughter, "I want you home by eleven o'clock."

Ten Things A Cat Thinks About
 
1. I could have sworn I heard the can opener.
2. Is there something I'm not getting when humans make noise with their mouths?
3. Why doesn't the government do something about dogs?
4. I wonder if Morris really liked 9-Lives, or did he have ULTERIOR motives?
5. Hmmm ... If dogs serve humans, and humans serve cats, why can't we cats ever get these STUPID dogs to do anything for us?
6. This looks like a good spot for a nap.
7. Hey -- no kidding, I'm sure that's the can opener.
8. Would humans have built a vast and complex civilization of their own if we cats hadn't given them a reason to invent sofas and can openers in the first place?
9. If there's a God, how can He allow neutering?
10. If that really was the can opener, I'll play finicky just to let THEM know who's boss!

OK, move along, that's all there is, move along please ....
