-> The Moral of Auntie Sharon-> ->A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their ->parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. ->The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their ->stories. -> ->Ashley said, 'My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying ->hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the ->front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the ->eggs got broken.' -> ->'What's the morale of that story?' asked the teacher. -> ->'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!' -> ->'Very good,' said the teacher. -> ->Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, 'Our family are farmers ->too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen ->eggs, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral ->to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.' -> ->'That was a fine story Sarah.' -> ->Michael, do you have a story to share?' -> ->'Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon. Aunty Sharon ->was a flight engineer on a plane in the Gulf War and her plane got hit. -> ->She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle ->of whisky, a machine gun and a machete. -> ->She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then she ->landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. -> ->She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ->ran out of bullets.. -> ->Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. ->And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.' -> -> ->'Good heavens,' said the horrified teacher, 'what kind of moral did ->your daddy tell you from that horrible story?' -> -> ->'Stay away from Aunty Sharon when she's pissed.'

Woman: Do you drink beer? Man: Yes Woman: How many beers a day? Man: Usually about 3 Woman: How much do you pay per beer? Man: $5.00 which includes a tip (This is where it gets scary !) Woman: And how long have you been drinking? Man: About 20 years, I suppose Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 ...correct? Man: Correct Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct? Man: Correct Woman: Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari? Man: Do you drink beer? Woman: No Man: Where's your Ferrari?

COMPLETE and FINISHED ,
No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED . . However , in a recent linguists conference held in London , England, and attended by some of the best linguists in the world : Samsundar Balgobin , a Guyanese, was the clear winner.
His final challenge was this: Some say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED . Please explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand .
Here is his astute answer :" When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE . But, when you marry the wrong woman , you are FINISHED , And when the right one catches you with the wrong one ,you are COMPLETELY FINISHED !"
His answer was received with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes.

Two nuns were shopping at a 7-11 store. as they passed by the beer cooler, one nun said to the other. " Wouldn't a nice cool beer or two taste wonderful on a hot summer evening?".
The second nun answered . " Indeed it would "sister, but I would not feel comfortable buying beer , since I am certain it would cause a scene at the checkout stand."
" I can handle that without a problem ". The other nun replied and she picked up a six-pack and headed for the checkout.
The cashier had a surprised look on his face when the two nuns arrived with a six pack of beer . " We use beer for washing our hair " The nun said , " Back at our nunnery, we call it catholic shampoo ".
Without blinking an eye , the cashier reached under the counter , pulled out a package of pretzel sticks , and placed them in the bag with the beer. He then looked the nun straight in the eye. Smiled and said : " The curlers are on the house".
