Father O'Mally has been preaching at his church in
Ireland for so long, that he decides to take a vacation.
He has never been married and he is curious as to what an
American endures in everyday life. So, he decides to go to
the States before it is too late. He hops on the plane bound
for Nevada. He arrives in the Airport in Las Vegas.
As he is exiting the plane, someone in the airport runs up
to him and exclaims, "Elvis! Oh my God! It's Elvis! I knew
you weren't dead Elvis! How have you been?"
Father looks at her and says, "Get outta me face. Can't you
see I'm not Elvis? I don't look a thing like Elvis."
The father moves on to his cab waiting outside. He hops in
his cab and he's a little upset so he tells the cabby,
"Take me to my hotel and step on it."
The cabby turns and says, "Sure thing sir - Oh my God! It's
Elvis! I knew you weren't dead! I'm your number one fan!
It's so great to see you!"
"Shut up, you imbecile. I'm not Elvis! Now turn around and
drive!" So the cabby speeds up to the hotel. Father O'Malley
gets his things and walks up to the hotel check-in counter.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! It's you!" screams the hotel clerk.
"You're back Elvis! I knew this day would happen. We saved
everything just the way you like it! Free cheeseburgers,
peanut butter and fried banana sandwiches, masseurs,
complementary hookers and a full liquor bar!
I'm so glad you're back!"
Father O'Malley looks at the hotel clerk and says,
"Thank you.. Thank you very much!"

The mechanic makes more than $39,000 today and the Cardiologist is rarely the surgeon. This is, nonetheless, a good story, although the heart is isolated on a by-pass machine while the critical heart operation proceeds. I have had two four-by-pass operations with great admiration for the heart mechanics!
A good vehicle mechanic will just not get equivalent pay.
A MECHANIC WAS REMOVING A CYLINDER HEAD FROM THE ENGINE OF A HARLEY
MOTORCYCLE WHEN HE SPOTTED A WELL KNOWN CARDIOLIGIST IN HIS SHOP.
THE CARDIOLOGIST WAS THERE WAITING FOR THE SERVICE MANAGER TO COME
AND TAKE A LOOK AT HIS BIKE WHEN THE MECHANIC SHOUTED ACROSS THE
GARAGE, "HEY DOC, WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS?"
THE CARDIOLOGIST, A BIT SURPRISED, WALKED OVER TO WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS
WORKING ON THE MOTORCYCLE, THE MNECHANIC STRAIGHTED UP, WIPED HIS HANDS
ON A RAG AND ASKED, "SO DOC, LOOK AT THIS ENGINE. I OPEN ITS HEART, TAKE THE
VALVES OUT, REPAIR ANY DAMAGE, AND THEN PUT THEM BACK IN, AND WHEN I FINISH,
IT WORKS JUST LIKE NEW. SO HOW COME I MAKE $39,000 A YEAR AND YOU GET
$800,000, WHEN YOU AND I ARE DOING BASICALLY THE SAME WORK?"
THE CARDIOLOGIST PAUSED, SMILED AND LEANED OVER , THEN WHISPERED TO THE
MECHANIC............."TRY DOING IT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING."

Bill and his wife Blanche went to the state fair every year,
And every year Bill would say,
" Blanche, I'd like to ride in that helicopter "
Blanche always replied,
" I know, Bill, but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks,
and fifty bucks is fifty bucks! "
One year Bill and Blanche went to the fair, and Bill said,
" Blanche, I'm 85 years old.
If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance "
To this, Blanche replied,
" Bill that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks "
The pilot overheard the couple and said,
" Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny!
But if you say one word it's fifty dollars. "
Bill and Blanche agreed and up they went.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.
He did his daredevil tricks,
but still not a word...
When they landed, the pilot turned to Bill and said,
" By golly , I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.
I'm impressed! "
Bill replied,
" Well, to tell you the truth
I almost said something when Blanche fell out,
but you know,
Fifty bucks is fifty bucks! "

Grandma's apron... Thanks Pat Whitehead!

Love it!! This one is great!!
Notice that a "Medium" is a size 14 - 16
Remember making an apron in Home Ec? Read below:
The History of 'APRONS'
I don't think our kids
know what an apron is.
The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing
hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids..
And when the weather was cold Grandma wrapped it around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow,
bent over the hot wood stove.
Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables.
After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the autumn, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.
Send this to those who would know (and love) the story about Grandma's aprons.
REMEMBER:
Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill
to thaw.
They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron.
I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron - but love...
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, there will be peace!!!!!!!!
