[size=x-small]Masculine - Feminine (PG)[/size]

[size=x-small]A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine [/size][size=x-small]or feminine. "House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."[/size]
[size=x-small]A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"[/size]
[size=x-small]Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun.[/size]
[size=x-small]Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.[/size]
 
[size=x-small]The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora"), because:[/size]
[size=x-small]1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;[/size]
[size=x-small]2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;[/size]
[size=x-small]3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and[/size]
[size=x-small]4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it.[/size]
[size=x-small]The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:[/size]
[size=x-small]1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;[/size]
[size=x-small]2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;[/size]
[size=x-small]3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and[/size]
[size=x-small]4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.[/size]
[size=x-small]The women won.[/size]

My new DAP can play music backwards. Tried it on a country/western song and it was great: my wife came back to me and I got my job back.

John E. Holden, alias Jack, took the Deep Six, Monday, May 27, 2013 at the Willow Valley Retirement Community after a life filled with endless laughter and debauchery. While flying his beloved Corsair as a Marine Fighter Pilot during WWII, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his combat activities, the Air Medal for action in Okinawa in 1945 and the Distinguished Fleeing Cross for avoiding numerous women who were seeking child support under unproven circumstances.

 

After WWII he spent eight years with the Armstrong Cork Company and resigned with the title of Assistant Director of Advertising plus a dinky pension. He then joined the Hubley Toy Company and later became an independent toy designer.

He was a longstanding member of the Lancaster Country Club, the Hamilton Club and the International Mickey Mouse Club from which he was immediately banned after providing housing for a number stray cats.

 

For many years prior to his demise, he wrote a tongue in cheek publication at ­Willow Valley called "The Wrinkle Valley News" where he had close to a thousand readers whom he referred to as "The Inmates of Wrinkle Valley." They fully enjoyed his creative humor and his intention to help them make unwise decisions in their ­hectic lives.

 

Jack was widowed ten years ago after sixty-one years of marriage to Elaine Ewing Holden. He has had a number of other wives recently, none of which were his. 

  Three daughters, Holly, Wendy and Anne Holden and a son, John E. Holden, Jr. have managed to survive despite being related to their father. His last words were "I'm really going to miss myself." 

 

Stay tuned for the "Gone Away" party to which the invitation may never come. In all seriousness, in lieu of flowers, please send ­donations to Honor Flight, 300 E. Auburn Avenue, Springfield, OH 45505 or www.­honorflight.org.

Two inmates escaped from an insane asylum one night.
As they were running through the forest, they could hear the guards and dogs hot on their heels.
They eventually reached a sheer cliff with no alternative but to go down.
As they only had a flashlight between them the first loony said.
"Look, no point both of us getting caught. What say I shine the torch to the other side of this ravine, and you could climb along the beam."
"What! Are you nuts?" replied the second loony "i'll probably get halfway across, and you'll turn out the light".
 
They eventually reached the base of the cliff without getting caught, and followed a stream to this beach just as dawn was breaking.
They saw a boat ramp and tourist setup where people could hire glass bottomed boats to row around the area.
As it was too early to be open, they stole one of the boats and started to paddle out to sea.
After going about 300 metres out to sea the second loony spotted this old pirate chest full of treasure beneath them.
"Mark that spot" the first loony said. "We'll come back later when we figure out a way to raise the treasure".
So they rowed back to the boat ramp and headed off into the forest to make their plans.
A couple hours later the first loony asked "by the way, how did you mark where the treasure is?"
"I put a big cross on the bottom of the boat" replied the second loony.
"You fool!" shouted the first loony "We may not get the same boat next time!"

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other,

One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

A paralyzed donkey passing by,
Kicked the blind man in the eye,
Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came to arrest the two dead boys,
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!
