Expressions for women on high stress days

You - Off my planet.

Not the brightest crayon in the box now, are we?

Well, this day was a total waste of makeup.

Errors have been made - others will be blamed.

And your crybaby whiny opinion would be...?

I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for 30 years.

Allow me to introduce my selves.

Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

I'm just working here till a good fast-food job opens up.

I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you weren't asleep.

I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one.

I just want revenge - is that so wrong?

You say I'm a Witch like it's a bad thing!

Can I trade this job for what's behind door #2?

Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?

Chaos, panic & disorder! My work here is done.

Earth is full. Go home.

Is it time for your medication or mine?

How do I set a laser printer to stun?

I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.

Scam Alert

There is another scam going on out there. You should send this to any women you know and care about. I don't normally forward warnings about scams, but this one looks important.

If a man comes to your door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your tits, DO NOT SHOW HIM YOUR TITS. This is a scam. He is only trying to see your tits.

Ducks

Eddie, Johnny, and Billy Bob went to the rodeo.

Unfortunately, a big bull jumped the fence into the spectators and they were trampled to death.

Being good God-fearing men, they ascended to Heaven where they were met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter. He said, "Welcome to Heaven, gentlemen. I'm sure you'll be quite comfortable here, but I must warn you that we do have our rules in Heaven. If you break them, you'll be punished. One rule is, never step on a duck. If you step on a duck, the duck quacks, then they all quack, and it just goes on and on."

That sounded simple enough.

They passed through the Pearly Gates and were surprised to find there were ducks everywhere!

In no time at all, Eddie stepped on one. The duck quacked, then they all quacked, they made a terrible racket and it just went on and on. Pretty soon along came St. Peter with a terribly homely woman in tow.

"I warned you that if you broke the duck rule you'd be punished." He chained the homely woman to Eddie and said, "You will be together forever," and walked away.

Sometime later, despite his best efforts, Johnny accidentally stepped on a duck. The duck quacked, then they all quacked and made a terrible commotion that just went on and on.

Sure enough, along came St. Peter with an even homelier woman.

"I warned you that if you broke the duck rule you'd be punished."

With that, he chained the woman to Johnny and said, "The two of you will be together for all eternity," and walked away.

Well, Billy Bob was very careful not to step on a duck.

One day St. Peter came along with a drop dead gorgeous blonde. He chained her to Billy Bob and said, "You will be together now and forever more," and walked away.

Billy Bob exclaimed,"Wow, I wonder what I did to deserve this?"

"I don't know about you,"said the beautiful woman, --"But I stepped on a duck..."

SODA MACHINE

There was a blonde woman at a soda machine. She put a dollar in the slot and pushed the Pepsi button. The Pepsi came out, so she took it and put the change in her purse.

She took another dollar out, put it in the machine, and pressed the Mountain Dew button. The Mountain Dew came out, and she took the change and put it in her purse.

Meanwhile, a big line was forming behind her, but she kept taking her money out, putting it in the machine, and pressing buttons.

Someone in the line finally said, "Come on, lady! What's taking you so long?"

She answered, "Duh! I'm still winning!"

WHAT NOT TO NAME YOUR DOG

(This is ridiculous, maybe crude, but I like the ending)

Everybody who has a dog calls him "Rover" or "Boy". I call mine "Sex". Now Sex has been very embarrassing to me.

When I went to City Hall to renew his license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I'd like to have one, too."

Then I said, "You don't understand. I've had Sex since I was nine years old." He said, "you must have been quite a kid!"

When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. I told the hotel clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me, and a special room for Sex. He said, "Every room in the place is for sex!" I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too."

One day I entered Sex in a contest, but before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just standing there looking around. I told him I had planned to have Sex in the contest. He told me I should have sold tickets. "But you don't understand," I said. "I had hoped to have Sex on T.V." He called me a show-off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married." The Judge said, "Me too." Then I told him after I was married, Sex left me. He said "Me too."

Last night, Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking for him around the town. A cop came over to me and asked, "WHAT are you doing in the alley at 4 O'clock in the morning?"

I said, "I'm looking for Sex."

My case comes up Friday!

Titanic

There are many stories             ,:',:`,:',:`
related to the sinking         ___//_//_//_//__
of the "Titanic".         ____[""""""""""""""""]____
Some have just come       \ " '''''''''''''''''''''|
to light due to the   ~~~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~~^~^~~^~^~^^~~^~^
success of the recent
movie. For example, most people don't know that back in 1912
Hellman's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. The "Titanic"
was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery
in Vera Cruz, Mexico which was to be the next port of call for
the great ship after New York City.

The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were
disconsolate at the loss. So much so that they declared a
National day of mourning which they still observe today.

It is known, of course, as... Sinko de Mayo.

The Puzzle

One morning an attractive blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over and help me. I have this killer of a jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to start it."

Her boyfriend asks "What is it a puzzle of?"

The blonde says, "Based on the picture on the box, it's a tiger."

The blonde's boyfriend figures that he's pretty good at puzzles, so he heads over to her place. She lets him in the door and shows him to where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then studies the box. He then turns to her and says:

"First, no matter what I do, I'm not going to be able to show you how to assemble these to look like the picture of that tiger. Second, I'd advise you to relax, have a cup of coffee, and put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box."

The Florida Voter

Here's the demographics on the Florida voter:

They can play 14 bingo cards at a time for themselves and five for a
neighbor, and not miss a number.

They can pick out the only restaurant in town that has 'early bird' meals
for $4.99 each, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and be there at 3:59 p.m.
on the nose to get 'first dibs.'

They can organize 89 coupons to go to four different grocery stores that
will save them $18.58 on a route that will take them from home, around in a
circle and back home, without going farther than three blocks...to save on
the gas.

They can juggle 53 numbers and pick 6 for the Florida Lotto, as well as
select their Pick 3, Fantasy Five, and Mega Ball numbers and remember all of
the choices they made.

They can read 5 papers, 4 scratch sheets, and handicap 3 horses in the
Tri-fecta at the horse race, place bets on the dog race, and watch Jai-alai,
while eating popcorn and discussing the next Shuffle Board Meet.

They can spot a shanked golf ball in an acre of elephant grass 300 yards
away, while riding in a golf cart without their glasses on.

They can eyeball a non-resident in a 1,000-unit subdivision at 200 yards and
report it to the resident manager by phone, while sitting in their lounge
chair working todays newspaper cross-word puzzle.

They can see and report a scarred manatee at 10 fathoms or a boat going over
the 'no-wake' limit two miles away in a 'manatee watch' area to the
Greenpeace hotline...on a digital cell phone the size of a pager with
numbers barely visible to the human eye.

They can take 37 different colored pills every single morning and 21 every
evening, and never, never mess up which gets taken where and when.

They can tell a 'snow-bird' at about 300 yards in a crowded shopping mall on
a 95 degree day, without sweating.

They can spot a school of 'legal' amber jack at 2000 yards, in six foot
swells, on a foggy day, in the middle of the Gulf from an 18 foot bass boat.

But they can't read a ballot they've used for ten years, had published in
the newspaper and mailed to them a week in advance...and then pick one
candidate...

Go figure!

See Saw

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See, Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.

She's alive!

At the end of the funeral service the pall bearers are carrying the casket
out, when they accidentally bump into a wall jarring the casket. They
hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually
alive.

Women & Marriage

I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

Marriage is a 3-ring circus: Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.

The last fight was my fault. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust!"

In the beginning, God created earth and rested. Then God created man and
rested. Then God created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.

Why do men die before their wives? They want to.

What is the difference between a dog and a fox? About 5 drinks.

A beggar walked up to a well dressed woman shopping on Rodeo Drive and said
"I haven't eaten anything in four days." She looked at him and said, "God,
I wish I had your will power."

Do you know the punishment for bigamy? Two mothers-in-law.

Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't
know his wife until he marries her? Dad: That happens in every country, son.

A man inserted an 'ad' in the classified: "Wife Wanted". Next day he
received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."

The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.

First guy (proudly): "My wife's an angel!"
Second guy: "You're lucky, mine's still alive."

How do most men define marriage? An expensive way to get laundry done for free.

Cannibals

Several cannibals were recently hired by a big corporation. "You are all
part of our team now," said the HR rep during the welcoming briefing. You
get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat,

but please don't eat any of the other employees." The cannibals promised.

Four weeks later their boss remarked, "You're all working very hard and I'm
satisfied with you. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any

of you know what happened to her?"

The cannibals all shook their heads no.

After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others,
"Which one of you idiots ate the secretary?"

A hand raised hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals continued,
"You fool! For four weeks we've been eating managers and no one noticed
anything, then you had to go and eat the secretary!"

An old farmer had owned a large farm for several years.
He had a large pond in the back forty, fixed up nice; picnic
tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc.

The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming
when it was built.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond,
as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. As he
neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with
glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young
women skinny dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all
went to the deep end of the pond.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out
until you leave!"

The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch
you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond naked.

"I only came to feed the alligators."

Moral: Old age and treachery will triumph over youth and
skill.

A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid.
It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art."
"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway,his car phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him,
"Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 85. Please be careful!"
"It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds of them!"

Report That Pessimists Die Sooner No Big Surprise to Pessimists

New York (SatireWire.com) — A study issued Tuesday claiming
that pessimists have more long-term health problems than positive
people just proves pessimists were right, say pessimists.

The research, conducted by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.,
found that less positive people suffer significantly higher rates of
illness, and advised physicians to encourage their patients to adopt
a more positive outlook to improve and lengthen their lives.
Pessimists across the country said they would try, though they
seriously doubted it would work.

"OK, here's a positive thought," said Chicago resident Eric Weinstadt.
"Why not save me the trouble I'm going to have later and just shoot me now?"

"No wait, save the bullet," he added.
"I'm going out to a party with my so-called friends tonight. I'll bet I die of boredom."
