A Native American paid a visit to a doctor and said "Doc, I have something that's been bothering me all my life and I need to talk to you about it. I have no nipples." The doctor said "Well, let me take a look. Hmmm, how unusual. Does anyone else in your family have this condition?" The Native American said "Yes, all of us have no nipples." The doctor was surprised, to say the least, and he said "Is that so??? Is there anything else that's strange or unusual in your family?" The Native American said "Yes, there are always only 500 people in our tribe. As soon as one is born, another immediately dies, so that the number always remains at 500." The doctor was shocked and said "What's the name of your tribe?" The Native American replied "The Indian Nippleless 500".

A man picks up a ringing cell phone in his country club locker room. It is his wife.

"Hi, sweety, I am at the mall and I just found a fabulous bargain on a teeny bikini swimsuit for only $150! What do you think?"

"Okay," the man agrees.

"Oh, and I took the BMW in this morning and they have the newest ones with all the bells and whistles for only $75,000 ... and they have the one I reeee-ally want," she gushes.

"Okay,' the man again agrees.

"And, sweety, that gorgeous house at the end of the cul-de-sac - the one with the in-ground pool and the huge outdoor kitchen - it's been reduced to $3 million - should I make an offer?"

Once more, the man agrees, "Okay." She tells him she loves him and rings off.

Holding up the phone, the man announces loudly: "Does anybody know whose phone this is?"

Too good not to pass on......

A 5 Year Old's First Job

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a
little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.

A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew began to build a house on the empty lot.
The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in the goings-on and spent much of each day observing the workers.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them 'gems-in-the-rough,' more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her during coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars 'pay' she'd received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally
impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very
own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, 'I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new
house next door to us.'

'Oh my goodness gracious,' said the teller, 'and will you be working on the house again this week, too?'

The little girl replied, 'I will, if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the f--kin' sheet rock...'




Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn 't it?
