Email of the month
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was
covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year
old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside
the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning Alex.'' Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque. 'Pastor, what
is this?'The pastor said, 'Well son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.' Soberly, they just stood together,
staring at the large plaque. Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, 'Which service, the 8:30 or 10:45?' |

Companies that treat you right
According to MSN
No. 10: Southwest's secret is personality-plus."We hire for attitude and train for skill."
No. 9: Costco keeps workers happy, too.
The company pays its 145,000 workers nationwide an average of $19 an hour. That salary is more than 40% higher than the
average paid by many Costco competitors, such as Wal-Mart Stores (WMT).
No. 8: Apple puts geniuses to work. "Apple's products . . . generally display an astonishing -- almost fanatical
-- attention to detail that makes them not just easy to use, but a pleasure,"
No. 7: Whole Foods sells 'peace of mind'
No. 6: Publix workers own the stores
No. 5: Nordstrom empowers salespeople
No. 4: Amazon wows with selection, shipping
No. 3: Netflix delivers movies in a flash
No. 2: Trader Joe's chooses products well
No. 1: USAA sensitive to military stresses
USAA certainly isn't your average insurance company or financial institution. Its 7 million members are all in the military,
former servicemen or family members of military personnel. Members are stakeholders |

Creamation - think outside the box!
I'm retired. Yesterday I was tired, and today I'm tired again.
We got married for better or worse. He couldn't do any better, and I couldn't do any worse.
I was always taught to respect elders, I have nobody to respect anymore.
I asked my wife if old men wear boxers or briefs. She replied, Depends.
I'm so old, I don't buy green bananas anymore.

Kidnappers are not very interested in you In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first No one expects you to run-anywhere.
There is nothing left to learn the hard way. Things you buy now won't wear out. You can eat supper at 4 PM. You no longer
think of speed limits as a challenge. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room. You sing along with elevator music Your eyes won't get much worse. Your
investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. | | |

New Laws for 2010
It is now illegal to text and drive.
Flags flown over public property must be made in the US (uh, duh, should be on all property, not just public)
Bowling alleys must now place warnings near thier entrances advising people not to wear bowling shoes outdoors because
it will increase thier chances of them slipping indoors.
Other dumb laws...
A United States federal law makes it illegal to issue a fake Weather Bureau forecast (one of the only professions that
I know of that you can be wrong and nobody really seems to care, or they don't get in to any trouble)
According to a law in China, you must be intelligent to go to college. Guess the guy who wrote this did NOT go to college.
Illinois state law requires that a man's female companion shall call him "master" while out on a date. The law does
not apply to married couples. I like this one!! But my wife is guilty!!

Email of the month
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Stop and think about it and decide on your answer
before you scroll down.
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This
question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant,
and close the refrigerator?
Wrong Answer.
Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe,
put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.
3.
The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend ..... except one. Which animal does not
attend?
Correct Answer : The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there! This tests
your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show
your true abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and You do
not have a boat.. How do you manage it?
You're not very good at this, are you? Correct Answer:? You jump into
the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether
you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the Professionals they
tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively
disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

dirty jokes around you. · You feed your dog Science Diet instead of cold pizza. · A $7 bottle of wine is no longer "the

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending
criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and tells each of them to catch it. The
CIA goes in. After two weeks with no leads, they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit,
and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming. The FBI goes in. They place animal informants throughout
the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that
rabbits do not exist. The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear
is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

Going Barefoot
A recent study at Rush Medical College in Chicago showed that wearing shoes may worsen the symptoms of osteoarthritis
in the knees and increase the risk of joint damage.
The study found that going barefoot significantly reduced the loads on participants' knees and hips. As a result, the
researchers recommend that patients with knee osteoarthritis dispense with shoes when possible.

Cooking your Easter Ham If your Easter celebration involves
serving a ham at dinner, these culinary tips can help ensure a successful outcome: v
Line the roasting pan with aluminum foil to avoid a difficult clean-up job. v Don't trim off the
fat rind; it bastes and flavors the meat as it cooks. v Don't coat the ham with sugar until the
last hour of cooking or it could burn. v Cover the ham with aluminum foil when you get it out of
the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes. The juices will return to the meat and make it easier to slice. v
Use a sharp knife with a long, thin blade for easier carving.

agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the
donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent
it already.' Chuck said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What ya' gonna' do with him? Chuck
said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, 'Sure I can.
Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead. A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with
that dead donkey?' Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.' The
farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won, so I gave him back his two dollars. Chuck
now works for AIG! |
Thanks for all the kind words!

Eat Tax-Free at Flippin Eggs Income Tax
Day is this month, everyone is scrambling to find old receipts, match forms to files and fill out all the right spots with
all the right numbers. It's downright exhausting, and it's always a little painful to see those numbers down on paper.
So this month, on the 14th and 15th we're giving you a break, taking the tax load off and we're not charging
you the taxes on your bill... you'll pay exactly what it says on the menu, nothing more - have a great month!
(If anyone from the IRS is reading this, don't worry; we'll still be paying the taxes!) |
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

Email of the Month
Subject: innocence
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring
up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had
been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Good morning
Alex.'' Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still focused on the plaque. 'Pastor, what is this?' The pastor said, 'Well
son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.' Soberly, they just stood together, staring at
the large plaque. Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, 'Which service, the 8:30 or
10:45?'

Thanks for the knd words
I absolutely love this place! Great food and always friendly...I just wish I was more of a morning person, so I went
more often. - Jodie
Sommer (DeKalb)
We always enjoy our time at Flippin' Eggs. The owners are friendly and the food is always very good. The portions and
"extras or sides" are always great. I like that I can order fruit as a side to a sandwich. Healthier.

When Dreams Come True
A young woman awoke from a deep sleep. She told her husband, "I just dreamed you gave
me a diamond necklace for Valentine's Day. What do you think it means?" "You'll know tonight," he said. That evening
the man arrived home with a small package for his wife. She was so excited; she trembled as she unwrapped it only to find
a book called The Meaning of Dreams. |

Email of the month
Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John
F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected
President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living
in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head Now it gets really
weird. Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln . Both were assassinated
by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born
in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was
born in 1839. Lee H arvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their
three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Now hang on to your seat. Lincoln was shot at the theater
named 'Ford'. Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford'. Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin
ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. Booth and
Oswald were assassinated before their trials. And here's the kicker... A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe
, Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
