More Smiles


From A Mother With Love

Dear Child,


I am writing this slow because I know that you can't read fast.


We don't live where we did when you left home.


Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home so we moved.


I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address.


This place is real nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure if it works too well though.


Last week I put a load in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.


The weather isn't too bad here., it only rained twice last week, The first time it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Steve said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got another bill from the funeral home.


They said if we don't make the last payment on Grandma's grave, up she comes. John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were worried because it took him two hours to get me and Shelby out.


Your sister had a baby this morning but I haven't found out what it is yet, so I don't know if you're an aunt or an uncle. If the baby is a girl, your sister is going to name it after me, she's going to call it Mom.


Uncle Pete fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some man tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days.


Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down.


There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.


PS, I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.



Labour Pains

A married couple went to he hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pain to the father.


He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favour of it. The doctor set the pain transfer dial to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before.


But as the labour progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine.


The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point they decided to try for 50%.


The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.


The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain.


She and her husband were ecstatic.


When they got home, the mailman was lying dead on their porch.



10 Reasons Not To Jog

1. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now & we don't know where the heck she is.


2. The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.


3. I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.


4. I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.


5. I don't exercise at all. If God meant us to touch our toes, he would have put them further up our body.


6. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.


7. I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.


8. The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.


9. If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.


10. I don't jog. It makes the ice jump right out of my glass.
