Just a Cop
The funeral line was long, there are an awful lot of cars. Folks came out of the restaurants and they came out of the bars.The workers at the construction sitesall let their hammers drop.Someone asked. "What is this all for?"And they said,"Aw, just a Cop." Some chuckled at the passing cars,some shed a silent tear,some people said, stupid.""All these dumb policemen here.""How come they are not out fighting crime?""Or in a doughnut shop?""Sure is a lot of trouble, for someone who's just a Cop." They blocked the intersections, and blocked the interstate.People yelled and cursed,"damn, it's going to make me late!""This is really ridiculous!""They're making' us all stop!""It seems they are sure wasting time, on someone who's just a Cop." Into the cemetery now, the slow procession comes; The woeful Taps are slowly played.there are loud salutes from guns.the graveyard workers shake their heads"This service is a flop.""There are lots of good words wasted, On someone who's just a Cop"Yeah, just a Cop to most folks,Did his duty every day.Trying to protect us,until his life was taken away.When he got to heaven,St. Peter put him at the top.An angel asked him,"Who was that?"And he said, "Aw, just a Cop." The Judgment :The Officer stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass.He hoped his shoes were shinning,just as brightly as his brass."Step forward now, Officer,How shall I deal with you?Have you always turned the other cheek?To my church have you been true?" The Officer squared his shoulder and said,"No, Lord, I guess I am not,because those of us who carry badges can'talways be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays,and at times my talk was rough.Sometimes I've been violentbecause the streets are tough. But I never took a pennythat wasn't mine to keep.Though I worked a lot of overtime,when the bills got too steep.I never passed a cry for helpthough at times I shook with fear,and sometimes, God forgive me,I've wept an unmanly tear. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord,it needn't be so grand.I never expected or had too much,but if you don't...I'll understand." There was silence all around the throne,where the saints often trod.As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God. "Step forward now, Officer." "You've borne your burdens well." "Come walk a beat on heaven's streets," "You've done your time in Hell."

NOW THIS IS FUNNY

An 80-year old man goes for a physical. All of his tests come back with normal results. The doctor says, "Chuck, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?"

Chuck replies, "God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof! the light goes on. When I'm done, poof! the light goes off."
"Wow, that's incredible." the doctor says. A little later in the day, the doctor calls Chuck's wife. "Ethel," he says, "Chuck is doing fine! But I had to call you as I am in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done poof! the light goes off?"

"Oh my God!" Ethel exclaims. "he's peeing in the refrigerator again!"

I AM OLD ,,, but not that old!!!!!!!!
But I can still chuckle about this one!!!

FROM YOUR OLD GRANDPA,,,AND FRAN!!!!!

I COULD NOT HELP MY SELF,,,

JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS!!!!!!!

HOMELESS PERSON
As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days.Wearing what can only be describes as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.Recalling some long ago Sunday School admonition to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!"
¯¯





¯So I did.........
.I get out of the hospital in about 3 months
.It would be nice to get a card or maybe a visitor

Men's restroom design~~

We all know that women have been held back and underpaid in theworkplace.
Edge Designs is an all women run company that designs interior office space.
They had a recent opportunity to do an office project in NYC.
The client allowed the women of this company a free hand in all design aspects.
The client was a company that was also run by all women execs..
.The result............well.......We all know that men never talk ...never look at each other....and never laugh much in the restroom....The men's room is a serious and quiet place...........
.But now .with the addition of one mural on the wall.....
.lets just say the men's restroom is a place of laughter and smiles...

Subject: COACH'S INSTRUCTIONS


A must read for Grandparents.
Those who aren't will love it, too. At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative
."Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"
The little boy nodded yes.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?
Again the little boy nodded.
He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb ass' is it?"
Again the little boy nodded.
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother".

Wisdom from Grandpa.
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.
Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.
On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna " work"."
Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
Have a GREAT day.......and keep Laughing!
It's good for the soul.

How True it is ?
Another year has passed and we all are a little older Last summer felt hotter
and winter seems much colder. ?
I rack my brain for happy thoughts, to put down on my pad, But lots of things that come to mind
just make me kind of sad. ?
There was a time not long ago when life was quite a blast. Now I fully understand
about "Living in the Past". ?
We used to go to friends homes, football games and lunches. Now we go to therapy, hospitals,
and after-funeral brunches. ?
We used to go out dining, and couldn't get our fill. Now we ask for doggie bags,
come home and take a pill. ?
We used to often travel to places near and far. Now we get backaches
from riding in the car. ?
We used to go out shopping for new clothing at the Mall But, now we never bother...
all the sizes are too small. ?
That, my friend is how life is, and now my tale is told. So, enjoy each day and live it up...
before you're too dadblamed old!!

JUST THINK ABOUT IT!!! IT IS ALL TRUE !!!LOVEYOU ALL .......GRANDPA!!!

The Month After Christmas
'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house> Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste. All the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber). I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared, The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt. And prepared once again to do battle with dirt-- I said to myself, as I only can. "You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So, away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished 'Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie, not even a lick. I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick. I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore--
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Holiday Eating Tips
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Reread tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Have an amazing Holly Day Season!
(can someone pass me a plate?) Think about this one (Ha Ha) from old Grandpa!!!
