Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for the week preceding the exam, and doing the following exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test. And, best of all, you can do these simple practice exercises right in your own home: Exercise #1: Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again. Exercise #2: Locate a large bench type vise. While standing in the most uncomfortable up-right position you can manage, insert your most sensitive breast between the squeeze plates. Hold your breath. Tighten down the handle on the vise until you are about to cry. Make three more turns on the handle, for good measure. Exercise #3: Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough. Exercise #4: Visit your garage at three in the morning when the temperature of the floor is just perfect. Take off all your warm clothes and lay comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of your family car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the other side. Congratulations, now you will be properly prepared for your next mammogram. 3 Blondes These 3 women escape from a remote prison facility somewhere in the backwoods of Virginia. There was a brunette, a redhead, and a blond woman. They come along to this farmhouse and decide to hide there. While inside they see 3 empty gunny sacks and decide to each hide inside one. The local sheriff and his deputy arrive on the scene and decide to investigate the farmhouse. While inside the sheriff orders the deputy to kick one of the sacks. He kicks the sack where the brunette is hiding. The brunette then says "Ruff Ruff" imitating a dog's bark. He then kicks the sack where the redhead is hiding. The redhead then says "Meow Meow" a cat's meow. He then goes over to the sack where the blond is hiding. He then kicks the sack and the blond says "Potatoes!" Another Blonde Joke There was this brunette, redhead, and a blond that decide to go out to he local bar one night. While there the brunette goes over to the bartender and says, "I'll have a JDOTR." The bartender replies, "What the hell is a JDOTR?" The brunette says, "Duh! its a Jack Daniel's On The Rocks!" The redhead then steps up to the bar and says, "I'll have a SCOTR." The bartender says, "What the hell is a SCOTR?" The redhead says, "Duh! is a Southern Comfort On The Rocks!" Then the blond steps up to the bar and says, "I'll have a 15" The bartender then says, "Ok what's a 15?" Then blond then says, "Duh! It's a Seven and Seven!" One More Blonde Joke This brunette, redhead, and this blond are talking in a bathroom. To their discovery they find out that they are all pregnant. The brunette then explains how she is positive that she will be having twin boys. The other two women then ask how she knows. She replies by saying that when she conceived she was on the bottom. The redhead then explains that she will be having twin girls. The other two women then ask how she knows. She replies by saying that when she conceived she was on the top. All of a sudden the blond begins to burst into tears. The other two women huddle around her for comfort and ask what is the matter? The blond then sobs "I think I'm going to have puppies" Apartment For Rent A businessman meets a beautiful girl and agrees to spend the afternoon with her for $500. So they do. Before he leaves, he tells her that he does not have any cash with him, but that he will have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment "RENT FOR APARTMENT." On the way to the office he regrets what he has done, realizing that the whole event was not worth the price. So he has his secretary send a check for $250 and enclosed the following typed note: Dear Madam, Enclosed find check in the amount of $250 for rent of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the apartment, I was under the impression that: 1) it had never been occupied; 2) that there was plenty of heat; 3) that is was small enough to make me cozy and at home. However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there wasn't any heat, and that it was entirely too large. Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check for $250 with the following note: Dear Sir: First of all, I cannot understand how you expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the landlady. Buying Underwear A man walks into the woman's section of a department store and tells the sales clerk he wants to buy a bra for his wife. "What type of bra?" asked the clerk "Type?" inquires the man "There is more than one type?" "There are three types." replies the clerk "The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?" Still confused the man ask "What is the difference in them?" The clerk responds "It is really very easy. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills." Bank Robbery!! Some not too smart gangsters decide to rob a bank. After several days of planning they agree on the best plan. The next day they get to work and are able to get into the bank relatively easy thanks to their planning. Once inside the main vault they discover one wall is full of safety deposit boxes and start to work on them immediately. They drill and pry open the first box only to find a small container of vanilla pudding inside. The Head Gangster says "Okay, well, at least we can eat it." So they eat the pudding. They drill and pry open up the second Safety deposit box and there sits another pudding. They decide to devour it too. Determined to find the goods, the process continues for the rest of the night until all the safety deposit boxes have been opened. They didn't find any money or jewelry in any of the boxes. Disappointed the head gangster said "Well, at least they left something for us to eat" The next day, while listening to the news they hear: "Yesterday the largest sperm bank in the USA was robbed Words of Wisdom My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau and lifted out a tissue wrapped package. "This," he said, "is not a slip. This is lingerie." He discarded the tissue and handed me the slip. It was exquisite; silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. The price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is the occasion." He took the slip from me and put it on the bed with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me. "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion." I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. I thought about them on the plane returning to California from the Midwestern town where my sister's family lives. I thought about all the things that she hadn't seen or heard or done. I thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special. I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my life. I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting on the deck and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds in the garden. I'm spending more time with me family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savor, not endure. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them. I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom. I wear my good blazer to the market if I feel like it. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my partying friends'. "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it' worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I'm not sure what my sister would have done had she known that she wouldn't be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted. I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food. I'm guessing I'll never know. It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours were limited. Angry because I put off seeing good Friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that it is special. Every day, every minute, every breath truly is... a gift from God. You've received this it is because someone cares for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care. If you're too busy to take the few minutes that it would take right now to forward this to a friend, would it be the first time you didn't do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships? I can tell you it certainly won't be the last. I don't have to make up silly stories about people being hit by buses or crushed by falling disco balls for not sending this letter on. You've seen the result of this neglect in your own relationships that you have allowed to fade, dissolve, and fall into disrepair. Take this opportunity to set a new trend. Take a few minutes to send this to a few people you care about, just to let them know that you're thinking of them. And the better you'll get in reaching out to those you care about.

Ireland In Ireland there is a mental institution that every year picks two of it's most reformed patients and questions them. If they get the questions right, they are free to leave. This year the two lucky gents were Patty and Mike. They were called down to the office and left there by the orderly. They were told to wait as the doctor got their files. The doctor came out and motioned for Patty to come in. When Patty got in the office he was instructed to sit in the seat across from the doctor. "Patty, you know the tradition of this institution so I imagine you know why you are here. You will be asked two questions and if you get them right you will be free to go. Do you understand all that you have been told?" Said the doctor with a rather sly grin. Patty indicated that he did and the doctor began to question him. The first question: "Patty, if I was to poke out one of your eyes what would happen?" "I would be half blind of course," Patty answered without much thought. "What would happen if I poked out the other eye?" "I would be completely blind," said Patty knowing that he had just gotten his freedom. The doctor then sent him outside while he drew up the paperwork and accessed Mike's files. When Patty got into the waiting room however, he told Mike what the questions would be and what the correct answers were. Then the doctor gave Patty his papers and called Mike in. He followed the same procedure that he had with Patty. "Mike, the first question is, what would happen if I cut off your ear?" "I would be blind in one eye," He said remembering what he had been told. This received a perplexed look from the doctor but he asked the other question so he could figure out what Mike was thinking. "Mike, what would happen if I cut off your other ear?" "I would be completely blind," He answered with a smile as if he knew he had passed. The doctor, quite perplexed and suspecting a little cheating might have happened, asked him what his reasoning was and he said flatly, "Me hat would fall down over me eyes; first one eye then toothier." BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS) "I GOT PREGNANT DURING A COMPUTER SEX CHAT!" Frazzled Frances Wyndham believes the father of her unborn child is sitting behind a computer 1,500 miles away, where he got her pregnant during an online sex chat! "His words were so convincing it felt like we were actually having sex," Frances claims. "I could hear bells ringing and fireworks going off. My body reacted accordingly, and I became pregnant with his child. I know it sounds hard to believe, but I haven't had sex with anyone else in over two years. So who else could it be?" Clarence Kudrow, the man she says impregnated her, is flabbergasted by Frances' charges, especially since she's threatening to file a paternity suit. "I haven't been anywhere near Colorado in my life," said the 27 year old technician from Buffalo, N.Y. Incredibly, Dr. John Swall, a leading expert in unusual pregnancies, says Francis Wyndham may be right. "If she had sex two years ago, there is a 5-million-to-one chance that some of the sperm survived but became dormant. Her high state of sexual excitement during the computer session could have helped revive what we call 'sleeping sperm,' that resulted in pregnancy. But to say Mr. Kudrow is the father is ridiculous." There are only 18 known cases of 'sleeping sperm' pregnancy over a 25 year period in the United States. One Ohio widow got pregnant with her husband's baby nearly 38 months after they had sex for the last time before he died. Frances, a 26 year old store clerk, met Clarence in an Internet chat room for singles. They later began having intimate conversations with each other over their computers. "It's the only explanation for my pregnancy," Frances said. "We'll find out for sure when Clarence has to take a blood test." Will the Real Dummy Please Stand Up?!
