JOKE of the MONTH

Three newcomers were standing at the Pearly Gates, awaiting admission to heaven. St. Peter asked the first, “Tell me about your life on earth.”
He replies, “I was a heart surgeon. I performed surgery that saved hundreds of lives.” “Welcome,” said Peter. “Come into heaven and stay for all of eternity.”
To the next, Peter says, “Tell me about your life on earth.” The second replies, “I was doctor in family practice. I treated illnesses and made thousands of lives better.”
“Welcome,” said Peter. “Come into heaven and stay for all of eternity.” To the third, Peter says, “Tell me about your life on earth.” “Well,” replies the third, “I worked in an HMO. We provided medical insurance coverage that paid for the care of millions of people.” “Welcome,” said Peter. “You can stay three days.”

**********
The old family physician being away on vacation, entrusted his practice to his son – a recent medical student. When the old man returned, the youngster told him among other things, that he cured Miss Ferguson, an aged and wealthy spinster, of her chronic indigestion. “My boy,” said the old doctor, “I’m proud of you, but Miss Ferguson’s indigestion is what put you through college.”

Did you know?

A diamond will break if you hit it with a hammer! A diamond is the hardest natural substance on earth, but if it is placed in an oven and the temperature is raised to about 763 degrees Celsius (1405 degrees Fahrenheit), it will simply vanish, without even ash remaining. Only a little carbon dioxide will have been released.
Diamonds are formed over a period of a billion or more years deep within earth’s crust – about 150km (90 miles) deep – and is pushed to the surface by volcanoes. Most diamonds are found in volcanic rock, called Kimberlite, or in the sea after having been carried away by rivers when they were pushed to the surface.
A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth, corundum, from which rubies and sapphires are formed. It was only during the 15th century that it was discovered that the only way to cut diamonds was with other diamonds. Yet, diamonds are brittle. If you hit one hard with a hammer, it will shatter.
The world’s largest diamond was the Cullinan, found in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats uncut. It was cut into the Great Star of Africa, weighing 530.2 carats, the Lesser Star of Africa, which weighs 317.40 carats, and 104 other diamonds of nearly flawless colour and clarity. They now form part of the British crown jewels.

Dear Patient,

Can you believe it? Winter is upon us yet again. Well, winter doesn’t technically begin until December 21st, but who’s counting the days anyway? Does this sound like you?

H NO! TO SNOW

© by Jody Broyles

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SAY ‘OH NO!’ TO SNOW

As a child I’d shout with glee
as the whiteness shrouded trees,
but the shoveling was my father’s lot, not mine.
Down the hills I’d sled with joy,
Yes, the snow was just my toy,
and if school was closed then that’d suit me fine

I could never understand
Father’s frown at the white land,
for me it was the biggest treat by far,
No matter how much of the stuff,
I’d never get enough,

but my father’s job was digging out the car.

Now when snow begins to fall
there’s a voice inside that calls,
Come on and build a snowman out of me.
But the adult in me swears,
‘I must shovel off the stairs.
and my aching back is tired, don’t you see?

Oh, I never thought I’d say
Oh No!’ to snow
But, yes, it’s true, I’d rather stay in bed.
And it keeps going through my mind
growing up might be defined
as the time when shovel must replace the sled.

Winter Holidays by the Numbers

From the U.S. Census Bureau

12 million
Number of packages delivered by the U.S. Postal Service every day during the holiday season last year through Christmas Eve. The busiest delivery day: Dec. 20.

$31.4 billion
Retail sales by the nation’s department stores (including leased departments) in December 2006. This represented a 44% jump from the previous month (when retail sales, many holiday-related, registered $21.8 billion).

$512 million
The gross earnings of Christmas tree farmers in 2006, with North Carolina ($134 million) as the top producer. Oregon was next at $121 million in sales.

$161 million
The value of product shipments of candles in 2002 by manufacturers in Texas. The Lone Star State led the country in candle shipments.

More than 303 million
The nation’s projected population as we ring in the New Year. This compares with fewer than 175 million 50 years earlier (1958) and less than 90 million a century earlier (1908).

Ten things to say about gifts you don’t like

10. Boy, if I had not recently shot up four sizes, that would’ve fit.

9. It would be a shame if the garbage man ever accidentally took this from me.

8. Perfect for wearing in the basement.

7. Well, well, well…

6. I really don’t deserve this.

5. Gosh, I hope this never catches fire!

4. I Love it, but I fear the jealousy it will inspire.

3. If the dog buries it, I’ll be furious!

2. Sadly, tomorrow I enter the federal witness protection program.

1. To think that this the year I vowed to give all my gifts to charity.

JOKE OF THE MONTH

In a small southern town there was a “Nativity Scene” that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me.

The three wise men were wearing firemen’s helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a “Quik Stop” on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, “You stupid Yankees never do read the Bible!” I assured her that I did, but simply couldn’t recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said “See, it says right here, ‘The three wise man came from afar.’”

P.S. Have a great December!

Dear Patient,

Wow, November is here already. It’s time to get out the holiday decorations! Everyone associates November with the Thanksgiving holiday, but I thought it would be good to explore Veterans Day instead, which is November 11th every year. Our veterans deserve it!

Veterans Day, holiday observed annually in the United States in honor of all those, living and dead, who served with the U.S. armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who have died in wartime, Veterans Day honors all those who have served, in times of peace as well as in war.

Veterans Day is observed on November 11. The holiday was originally called Armistice Day, and it commemorated the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. Fighting stopped at 11 am, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

In 1919, on the first anniversary of the World War I armistice (truce), President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation expressing pride in the heroism of those who had died during the war. Business stopped for two minutes starting at 11 am, and it later became customary to observe two minutes of silence from 11 am. Many states made Armistice Day a state holiday in the 1920s and 1930s, and in 1938 the Congress of the United States declared it a federal holiday.

NOW FOR SOME THANKSGIVING “TURKEY FACTS

  • Americans feast on 535 million pounds of turkey on Thanksgiving.
  • According the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten in the United States at Thanksgiving. That number represents one sixth of all the turkeys sold in the U.S. each year!
  • Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird.
  • Domesticated turkeys cannot fly, however wild turkeys can fly up to 55 miles per hour over short distances.
  • Only male (tom) turkeys gobble. Females make a clicking noise. The famous gobble is actually a seasonal mating call.
  • The heaviest turkey ever raised weighed in at 86 pounds – about the size of a German Shepherd! (But turkeys are normally not used as police animals.)
  • A turkey under 16 weeks of age is called a fryer. A five to seven month old turkey is called a roaster.
  • The Turkey Trot, a ballroom dance in the 1900s, was named for the short, jerky steps of the turkey. It became popular mainly because it was denounced by the Vatican as “suggestive.”

JOKE OF THE MONTH

(I absolutely adore my mother-in-law,

but I couldn’t pass this one up!)

The middle aged man was visibly shaken when his Doctor advised that he had only 6 month’s to live because of the terminal disease that was detected during a recent physical check-up. The Doctor suggested that he should get his ‘house in order’, make sure his Will was current and ensure all final arrangements were in place for the funeral. He should then make plans to enjoy what might be left of his life, to the fullest. ‘What will you do for the last six months?’ asked the Doctor.

His patient thought for a few minutes then replied, ‘I think I’ll go and live with my Mother-in-law’.

Surprised by the answer, the Doctor asked, ‘Of all people, why in the would you want to live with your Mother-in-law?’

Because it’ll be the longest six months of my Life!’

Turkeys on the Farm Before Thanksgiving:

P.S. Have a great November!

A Surprise Danger to Your Knees and Back

By Craig Ballantyne

Last spring, I made the mistake of wearing flip-flops on a couple of long walks with my dog. “What does it matter?” I thought. “It’s just an hour walk.” But after doing this a couple of times, I noticed that my knees were sore and my ankles were stiff.

Fortunately, I was bright enough to make the connection between the flip-flops and my discomfort, so I tossed the flip-flops. After switching to a good pair of walking shoes, my joints were no longer sore.

Every summer, thousands of folks slip out of their regular walking shoes and start piling on the miles in flip-flops. As a result, many end up having to visit a doctor.

I asked Dr. Michael Sommers, a chiropractor in Roncasvilles, Toronto, to explain why this innocent-looking footwear can lead to such a dramatic onset of pain.

According to Dr. Sommers, “There is nothing remotely healthy about wearing flip-flops, especially during long walks. They provide little or no support to the ankle and only minimal shock absorption during weight-bearing activity – leading to wear and tear in the joint surfaces of the ankle, knee, and spine. Flip-flops were designed for the beach. That’s really only where they should be worn.”

A study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine found: “When people walk in flip-flops, they alter their gait, which can result in problems and pain from the foot up into the hips and lower back. When subjects wore flip-flops, they took shorter steps and their heels hit the ground with less vertical force than when they wore athletic shoes.”

The researchers concluded that you should wear flip-flops only for a short period of time. So chuck your thong sandals and replace them with walking shoes. Your feet will thank you.

A Berry Smart Way to Prevent Colon Cancer

By Kelley Herring

New research indicates that pterostilbene – which is found in blueberries – shows promise for the prevention of colon cancer.

Researchers at Rutgers and the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) teamed up to investigate pterostilbene’s cancer-fighting effects. In the study, rats were given azoxymethane – a compound that causes colon cancer. Half of the animals were then given a balanced daily diet, while the rest were given the same diet supplemented with pterostilbene.

At the end of the eight-week study period, the rats that were given the supplement showed 57 percent fewer pre-cancerous lesions in their colons than those in the control group.

Make delicious, antioxidant-rich blueberries a mainstay in your diet. A great way to keep them on hand is to buy them frozen. Then just thaw and enjoy

>>JOKE of the MONTH<<

I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into labour and the nurse walked out and said to the man sitting next to me, “Congratulations sir, you’re the new father of twins!”

The man replied, “How about that, I work for the Doublemint Chewing Gum Company.” The man then followed the woman to his wife’s room.

About an hour later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced that Mr. Smith’s wife has just had triplets. Mr. Smith stood up and said, “Well, how do ya like that, I work for the 3M Company.”

The gentleman that was sitting next to me then got up and started to leave. When I asked him why he was leaving, he remarked, “I think I need a breath of fresh air.”

The man continued, “I work for 7-UP.”

Here are some August facts:

  • August is the eighth month, renamed by the Romans from Sextilis’, meaning sixth, to honor their emperor, Augustus.
  • August is the height of the summer time in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. The longest days of the year are passed, but the hot days remain. In the northern regions & mountains, cool nights & early frosts lets one know that the summer is about to come to an end. In the Southern Hemisphere, August means the winter will soon be over.
  • The birds are planning to fly south for the winter. The insects are noisier & numerous than in any other month. This is perhaps the busiest month for businesses, since most people take their vacations in August.
