Today (starting at sundown) is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah (New Year 5768, if you're Jewish), so
 
 
It is also Ramadan's start, if I had any Muslim friends. I'd wish them peace too, but they don't define that word the way I do. All I know is that if the Muslims laid down their weapons, there would be peace -  if the Jews laid down their weapons there would be no more Israel and Israelis would all die.

The receptionist found some cash in the office, apparently mislaid by a co-worker. She sent the following email: "If anybody can say where they lost $70, please let me know and it will be returned to you."
 
Within minutes one employee replied, "Kentucky Derby, 2001."
--------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, yeah, this does seem to be from...some other country. But let's just call it proof that the U.S. doesn't have a corner on the redneck market.

Silly but interesting, from Al. I don't have a Koran, and so can't verify this, but wth ............
 
VERY INTERESTING-
1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq
 
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq , was the cradle of civilization!
 
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq
 
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq
 
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq !
 
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq !
 
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq
 
8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq
 
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel
 
10. Amos cried out in Iraq !
 
11 Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem
 
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq !
 
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the Fiery Furnace!)
 
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq
 
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq
 
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq ..
 
17. The wise men were from Iraq .
 
18. Peter preached in Iraq .
 
19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon , which was a city in Iraq !
 
And you have probably seen this one: Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq ! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible.
 
 
 
The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia . The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers ..
 
 
 
The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.
 
Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
 
No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated With it than Iraq
 
And also, This is something to think about: Since America is typically represented by an eagle.
 
 
 
Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages ...
 
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
 
Koran, Sura ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah;
 
And there was peace.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!

From Teddi
 
His wife had just bought a new line of expensive cosmetics absolutely guaranteed to make her looks years longer.
.
She sat in front of the mirror for what had to be hours applying the "miracle" products.  Finally, when she was done, she turned to her husband and said, "Hon, honestly now, what age would you say I am?"
.
He nodded his head in assessment, and carefully said, "Well, hon, judging from your skin, twenty.  Your hair, mmmm, eighteen.  Your figure, twenty-five."
.
"Oh, you're so sweet!"
.
"Well, hang on, I'm not done adding it up yet."

Are you ancient enough to remember the signs by the side of the road?
 

Trains don't wander
All over the map
'Cause nobody sits
In the engineer's lap.
Burma Shave-
 
Don't lose your head
To gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it.
Burma Shave-
 
Drove too long
Driver snoozing
What happened
Next is not amusing.
Burma Shave-
 
Brother speeder
Let's rehearse
All together
Good morning, nurse.
Burma Shave-
 
Speed was high
Weather was not
Tires were thin
X-marks the spot.
Burma Shave-

A friend and his wife were considering traveling to Alaska for a trip that the husband had long dreamed of taking. He kept talking about how great it would be to stay in a log cabin without electricity, to hunt moose, and drive a dog team instead of a car.
 
"If we decided to live there permanently, away from civilization, what would you miss the most?" he asked his wife.
 
She replied, "You."

IN THE NAVY much of our time is spent at sea, drilling for emergencies. Once, when our ship was conducting simulated combat exercises, a message came over the loudspeaker: "This is a drill, torpedo hit to starboard, all hands prepare to abandon ship -- land bears 090 degrees, 11 miles."
      
Running to my abandon-ship station, I was stopped by a young seaman, apparently on his first sea tour. "Excuse me," he drawled, "but if we really had to swim for it, how would we deal with those bears?"

Finally, a funny rerun
 
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 WHEN...
 
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
 
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
 
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
 
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
 
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
 
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
 
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
 
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
 
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
 
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
 
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
 
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
 
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
 
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
