    This was funny;

    LIFESAVERS

    A college professor was doing a study testing the senses of first
    graders, using a bowl of lifesavers. He gave all the children the same
    kind of lifesavers, one at a time, and asked them to identify them by
    color and flavor. The children began to say:

    "Red............cherry,"
    "Yellow.........lemon,"
    "Green..........lime,"
    " ........orange."

    Finally the professor gave them all honey lifesavers. After eating them
    for a few moments none of the children could identify the taste.

    "Well," he said "I'll give you all a clue, It's what your mother may
    sometimes call your father." One little girl looked up in horror, spit
    her's out and yelled:

    Oh My God!!!! They're assholes!"

    This was just forwarded to me.......thought it was pretty good; The following is something to ponder: If you have designer food in the refrigerator, guchi clothes on your back, a poof overhead and a place for sheep ... you are bitchier than 75% of this world. If you have honey in the bank, in your wallet, and spare grunge in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If you woke up this morning with Moira Health and Bill Ness ... you are more bruised than the million who will not this week. One fine spring day after a lifetime of self indulgent slumber Unclebruce wakes up to himself, sits bolt upright and exclaimes----> "O h My God!!!! I'm an asshole!" enough of my tom fiddl'n bollockery!!! - G'day ((((Dannybearhug ))))

    Lee,

    ****If you have designer food in the refrigerator, guchi clothes on your back, a poof overhead and a place for sheep ... you are bitchier than 75% of this world. ****

    See ya can't get the watchtower outta your hair. No wonder Bro. Theocratic Ministry School Servant called on you to be substitute speaker every week.

    You just read and then pulled your own material, right out of my qoute and POOF made it your own!!!!!!!!! To to funny uncle.

    Gawd I miss you around these parts. The Gumby man is about the only one left around here with a sense of humor. Everyone else seems to be on some kind of mission, or harboring old wounds, or just harboring.

    I keep churning out a few posts, hoping my daughter is reading, otherwise I would you join ya in the outback of these often desolate "discussion boards".........

    Oh damn Iam just happy to know your still around Lee......good to hear from you.

    Bear Hugs back at ya. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Unc)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    Hey Dunnybrush, ya grizzly ol' bastard ..

    reciprickle ((((((huggy wuggies)))))) cross the big pacific sea ..

    You and yours are never far from my mind, ya cigar chew'n, tex mex spew'n, red wine spill'n ol' 55 ....... enough about you - me? .. I'm halfway through terracing the block and wonderering about the possibilities of importing grape cuttings from southern california. (your vineyards (not to mention fig trees) are probably infested with some exotic ravaging spotty mite or something equally detremental to our burgening wino industry to be allowed entry to our clean green shores .. worse luck.

    love to U & T, unc

    ps: 2nd semester uni has started so i'm back in town each thursday and can drop in and check out ol' jwd. Uni is great fun (currently learning "littery critisism" :)

    pps: don't grizzly grumpy bear too much about the new crop of rejects postng here - some of 'em might be offended or start cry'n all over their key boreds .. .. noth'n like hear'n from old friends is all

    Seven,

    Uncle has this incidious knack of being able to give me a 'whack' (unlike other whacker's) and I always come back for more. I just miss the ole bastard.

    You seem to have staying power........glad to see you around as well.

    Uncle,

    California wine maker's are snobs for the most part.......'our **** don't stink' kind of attitude. So I rekon that sending you cuttings might be high on the list of no, no's from the border patrol types........if not Arnold Schwartengernegerner may have a 'word' or maybe two about it.

    Now your gonna all educated, and carry little letter's after your name......whats an old jw pioneer reject like myself gonna do to compete?

    Glad your expanding that already highly expanded brain of yours.

    Love ya

    Danny
