The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she'd have children if she had it to do over again. Yes, she replied. But not the same ones. - David Finkelstein
A little boy forgot his lines in a Sunday school presentation. His mother was in the front row to prompt him. She gestured and formed the words silently with her lips, but it did not help. Her son's memory was blank. Finally, she leaned forward and whispered the cue, I am the light of the world. The child beamed and with great feeling and a loud clear voice said, My mother is the light of the world. - Bits and Pieces, 1989
A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I? When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word Mother- Unknown

![]() You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds. And while you get along well now, you probably fought when you were a teenager. You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you. |

Drat!
Good piece. I think I know what happened to the headline. Whenever you see little boxes in what you’re attempting to paste, remove them and the headline will read the way it was intended.

Let’s hear it for #9829!!!
I love #9829!!

In!
Yay, Friday! Thanks, Lucky9teen—great job!

![]() It may not seem like it at times, but you and your mom have a lot of common ground. You and your mom do understand each other well. You may just need to work on communication. Over time, you'll probably get closer ... especially if you emphasize the things you like about each other. |
Yes...how’d you do that?
btt

Three Californian surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed.
One of them said, “I’m the best surgeon in California. In my favorite
case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident, I reattached
them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England.”
The second surgeon said, “That’s nothing. A young man lost an arm and
both legs in an accident, I reattached them and two years later he won
a gold medal in track and field events at the Olympics.”
The third surgeon said, “You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a
woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was
the woman’s hair and the horse’s ass. I was able to put them together
and now she’s Speaker of the House.”

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow moms out there.
Yea!!!

Test on personal values:
This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each issue.
THE SITUATION:
You are in Florida. Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical
proportions. You are photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You’re trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is
unleashing all of its destructive fury.
THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move
closer. Somehow they look familiar. You suddenly realize who they are. It’s Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!! At the same time you notice that
the raging waters are about to take them under forever.
You have two options: You can save their lives or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world’s most powerful people.
THE QUESTION:
Here’s the question, and please give an honest answer......
Would you choose to shoot the photos using the latest new digital camera or a conventional 35mm film camera?
Delusions are often functional.
A mother’s opinions about her children’s beauty,
intelligence, goodness. et cetera, ad nauseum,
keep her from drowning them at birth.
Nice job! Thanks for the quotes and ‘toons!
MOTHER’S DAY!!!!! OH, HELL!!!!!
Gotta go shopping tonight!!!!!

Joe Biden: "No, no, no Barack, that's not a teleprompter, it's just the menu. Stop reading it out loud."
Sigh....it’ll be a little different this year. We lost Mom about two months ago.
GUYS, DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME BECAUSE IT’S MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND!
Guts or Balls.
There is a medical distinction. We’ve all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below:
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: “Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?”
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: “You’re next, Chubby.”
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking there is no difference in the outcome. Both result in death.
Those milestones are rough. Sorry.
You don’t ever have to stop celebrating your Mother’s life. You can remember the time God gave you all together and always be thankful for having a Mother.
