I'm back! Well,I never really went anywhere-just lost power for 2 days. So annoying,but won't complain. Made it through nice and dry with no major damage-a lot of leaves and branches down around us which was to be expected.

Thanks for all your good wishes everyone!

Back to the boards for me. I won't say I was going into internet withdrawal....but I was!!

Choosing a Wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among
three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of £5,000 and
watches to see what they do with the money.


The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon,
gets her hair done, new makeup, buys several new outfits and dresses
up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to
be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.


The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new
set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some
expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that
she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.


The third invests the money in the stock market She earns several
times the £5,000. She gives him back his £5,000 and reinvests the
remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save
for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was very impressed.


The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with
the money he'd given her. Then he married the one with the biggest boobs.


Men are like that, you know.

The sharing of marriage...

The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink.

He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.


He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.


He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them . As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.


Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'


As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything


People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.


Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'


Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'


She answered --



















'THE TEETH.'
