Silent Treatment

Victorian Essence — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:55:19 +0000

It was a Saturday evening and Joseph and his wife, Ann, had just gotten into their third argument of the day and both were now giving each other the “silent treatment,” vowing not to be the first one to speak.

However, at bedtime, Joseph realized that he would need his wife, who always awoke at 4:30am to wake him at 5:00am to get ready for an early morning golf session with his buddies. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and thus lose the “battle”), Joseph wrote on a piece of paper,

“Ann, please wake me at 5:00am.”

The next morning, Joseph woke up at 9am, having missed his tee time with his friends. Furious, Joseph was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t awakened him when he noticed a piece of paperon his nightstand. The note read,

“Joseph, it’s 5:00am. Wake up.”

7. People stop stealing your pens after they’ve seen where you keep them.

Only in Canada……are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
Only in Canada……do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
(Actually not true any longer. Drugstores cannot sell cigarettes)
Only in Canada……do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in Canada……do banks leave both doors open but chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Canada……do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in Canada……do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won’t miss a call from someone we didn’t want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Canada……do we buy hot dogs in packages of twelve and buns in packages of eight.
Only in Canada…..do we use the word ‘politics’ to describe the process so well: ‘Poli’ in Latin meaning ‘many’ and ‘tics’ meaning ‘bloodsucking creatures’.
Only in Canada……do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Looking for the same things

Two guys, one old timer and one young, are pushing their carts around Lowe’s Building Supply when they collide.

The old timer says to the young guy, ‘Sorry about that. I’m looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.

‘The young guy says, ‘That’s OK. It’s a coincidence. I’m looking for my wife, too. I can’t find her and I’m getting a little desperate.’

The old guy says, ‘Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?’

The young guy says, ‘Well, she is 24 yrs old, tall, with blonde hair, big blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she’s wearing tight white shorts, a see through halter top and no bra. What does your wife look like?’

The old timer says…… ‘Doesn’t matter — let’s look for Yours.’

Three women: one engaged, one married, and one a mistress, were chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men….that night they would wear a leather bodice S&M style, stilettos and mask over their eyes .

After a few days they meet again…..

The engaged woman said: ‘The other night, when my boyfriend came back home, he found me in the leather bodice, 4″ stilettos and mask. He said, ‘You are the woman of my life, I love you, then we made love all night long.’

The mistress stated: ‘Oh Yes! The other night we met in his office. I was wearing the leather bodice, mega stilettos, a mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat, he didn’t say a word. We just had wild sex all night.’

The married one then said: ‘The other night I sent the kids to stay at my mothers for the night, I got myself ready, leather bodice, super stilettos and mask over my eyes. My husband came in from work, grabbed the TV remote and a beer, and said, ‘Hey Batman, what’s for dinner ?’

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.
