A good laugh is great medicine


 THOSE WERE THE GOOD DAYS
 

Close your eyes...And go back in time

Before semi automatics and crack...
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...

Way back...I'm talking about

Hide and seek at dusk.
Red light, green light.
The corner store.
Hopscotch, butterscotch, doubledutch,
jacks, kickball, dodgeball.
Mother May I...
Red Rover and Roly Poly.
Hula Hoops.
Running through the sprinkler.
An ice cream cone on a warm summer night...
Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or
maybe butter pecan.

Wait...

Watching Saturday Morning cartoons...
Short commercials.
Fat Albert, Road Runner, The Three Stooges, and Bugs.

Or back further...

When around the corner seemed far away,
And going downtown seemed like going somewhere.
Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, Zorro.
Climbing trees, building igloos out of snow banks
Running till you were out of breath.
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.
Jumping on the bed.
Pillow fights.
Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down...
Being tired from playing...Remember that?
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
War was a card game.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike
into a motorcycle.

I'm not finished just yet...

When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.
When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked,
and gas pumped without asking, for free, every time...
and, you didn't pay for air.

When nearly everyone's mom was at home
when the kids got there.

When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up,
if you even had one.

It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken
out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents.

When girls neither dated nor kissed
until late high school, if then.

When they threatened to keep kids back a grade
if they failed...and did!

When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited
a misbehaving student at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't
because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!

Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say,
"Yeah, I remember that!"

Remember when...

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "Do over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
The worst thing you could catch
from the opposite sex was cooties.

It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event.
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot.
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin.
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."


If you can remember most or all of these,
then you have LIVED!!!

 OH BROTHER !!
 

An extremely modest man 

was in the hospital for a series of tests.

The last test had left his system upset. 

For hours he made several false-alarm trips to the bathroom.

Finally giving up on going, he decided his latest urge to go to the bathroom was just another false alarm, so he stayed put.  

He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea! 

He was SOOOO embarrassed! 

       Losing his presence of mind, he jumped up, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.

      As luck would have it, a drunk was walking by the hospital.

 

Suddenly, the sheets landed on him!  He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms wildly, which left the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.  As the drunk stood there staring down at the sheets, a security guard who had watched the whole incident walked up and asked, 

"What in the world was that all about?"

Still staring down, the drunk replied:

"I think I just beat the crap out of a ghost!"

 POOR FELLAS
 

Three Old Men

    

Three men were discussing aging at the nursing home. "Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old. "You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time, you stand at the toilet and nothing comes out."

"Ah, that's nothin'," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you can't even crap anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, you sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!"

 "Actually," said the 80-year-old, "eighty is the worst age of all."

"Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year-old.

"No, not really. I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock: no problem at all." said the 80-year-old.

"Do you have trouble crapping?" asked the 70-year-old. "No, I crap every morning at 6:30." the older man responded.

With great exasperation, the 60-year-old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what's so tough about being 80?"

 "I don't wake up until 7:00!"

 WOW
 

A young female teacher was giving an assignment to her class one day. It was a large assignment so she started writing high up on the chalkboard. Suddenly there was a giggle from one of the boys in the class.

She quickly turned and asked, "What's so funny Pat?"

"Well teacher, I just saw one of your garters."

"Get out of my classroom," she yells, "I don't want to see you for three days."

The teacher turns back to the chalkboard. Realizing she had forgotten to title the assignment; she reaches to the very top of the chalkboard. Suddenly there is an even louder giggle from another male student. She quickly turns and asks, "What's so funny Timmy?"

"Well miss, I just saw both of your garters."

Again she yells, "Get out of my classroom!" This time the punishment is more severe, "I don't want to see you for three weeks."

Embarrassed and frustrated, she drops the eraser when she turns around again. So she bends over to pick it up. This time there is an burst of laughter from another male student. She quickly turns to see Little Billy leaving the classroom.

"Where do you think you are going?" she asks.

"Well teacher, from what I just saw, my school days are over."

 MEN
 

All About Men

Men are like.....Government bonds.
They take so long to mature.

Men are like.....High heels.
They're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it.

Men are like.....Horoscopes.
They always tell you what to do and are usually wrong.

Men are like.....Lava lamps.
Fun to look at, but not all that bright.

Men are like.....Mascara.
They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

Men are like.....Parking spots.
The good ones are already taken and the ones that are left are either handicapped or extremely small.

Men are like.....Popcorn.
They satisfy you, but only for a little while.

Men are like.....Place mats.
They only show up when there's food on the table.

Men are like.....Snow storms.
You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long they will last.

Men are like.....Used Cars.
Both are easy-to-get, cheap, and unreliable.

Men are like....Newborn babies.
They're cute at first, but you get tired of cleaning up their crap.

Men are like.....Crystal.
Some look real good, but you can still see right thru them.

Men are like.....Dry cleaners.
Most work fast and leave no ring.

Men are like..... Laxatives.
They irritate the crap out of you
