*Clean can be funny




        One day, a man came
home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie.
        'Tie me up,' she
purred, 'and you can do anything you want.'  So he tied her up and went
golfing.
       

                    
*****************************************

                   
A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the
house...
                   
She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her  lungs, 'Honey, pack
your bags. I won the lottery!'
                   
The husband said, 'Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain
stuff?'
                   
'Doesn't matter,' she said. 'Just get out.'

A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license.
                   
First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test.
                   
The optician showed him a card with the letters  'C Z W I X N O S T A C
Z.'
                   
'Can you read this?' the optician asked.
                   
'Read it?' the Polish guy replied, 'I know the  guy.'

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, 'I must tell
you all something. We
                    
have a case of gonorrhea in the convent.'
                   
'Thank God,' said an elderly nun at the back.    'I'm so
tired of chardonnay..'

                   

                   
********************************************

                   
A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her
husband burst into the kitchen.
                   
'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more
                   
butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once.
                   
TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more
                   
butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE
                   
BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I
                   
said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're
                   
cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY?
                   
Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them.
                   
You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt!  USE THE SALT!
THE SALT!'
                   
The wife stared at him.
                   
'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a
couple of eggs?'
                   
The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like
when I'm driving.'

THE MAGIC BANK ACCOUNT


THE AUTHOR IS NOT KNOWN. IT WAS FOUND IN THE BILLFOLD OF COACH PAUL BEAR BRYANT, ALABAMA, AFTER HE DIED IN 1982
The Magic Bank Account
Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use.  However, this prize has rules:
The set of rules:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account. 
3. You may only spend it.
4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.
5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, "Game Over!". It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?
ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL ...
Shocked ??? YES!
Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it.
The PRIZE is *TIME*
1. Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 secondsas a gift of life.
2. And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is Not credited to us.
3. What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.
4. Yesterday is forever gone.
5. Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING...
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.  Think about it and remember to enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!
Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day. Start "spending".... 
"DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD...!"

SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THE PRIVILEGE!

My friend

One day I had lunch with some friends. Jim , a short, balding golfer type about 80 years old, came along with them---all in all, a pleasant bunch.
When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Jim who said, "Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate. 
I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. "Along with heated apple pie," Jim added, completely unabashed.
We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time.. But when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine.
I couldn't take my eyes off Jim as his pie a-la-mode went down. The other guys couldn't believe it. They ate their lunches silently and grinned. 

The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Jim . I lunched on white meat tuna.. 
He ordered a parfait. I smiled. He asked if he amused me.
 
 
I answered, "Yes, you do, but also you confuse me. How come you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible?" 

He laughed and said "I'm tasting all that is Possible. I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should. But life's so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good. This year I realized how old I was. (He grinned) I haven't been this old before. So, before I die, I've got to try those things that for years I had ignored.. 

"I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many trout streams I haven't fished. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown overhead.

"There are too many golf courses I haven't played. I've not laughed at all the jokes. I've missed a lot of sporting events and potato chips and cokes.   

"I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face. I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace.
"I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast. I want un-timed long distance calls to the folks I love the most. 
"I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain. I need to feel wind on my face. I want to be in love again.  
"So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner, then should I die before night fall, I'd say I died a winner, because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart's desire. I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired."

With that, I called the waitress over.. "I've changed my mind, " I said. "I want what he is having, only add some more whipped cream!"
