This Senior Citizen Nailed It!
Dear Joe,
Kids say the darndest things but senior citizens say the trueist things.

Dad
Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. August, 2010.
Here's a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana ... I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is!

This is an outstanding example of someone who has the capability of thinking "outside the "box". Talk about funny?

Sierra Club vs. Wyoming Rancher
The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a "more humane" solution to this issue. What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U.S. Forest Service. All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said; "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here... these coyotes ain't f*ckin' our sheep... they're eatin' 'em!" The meeting never really got back to order. . .

Honk If You Love Jesus
I've seen this email before but it still made me chuckle. Will I be this clueless in 8 years?

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes:
Dear Grand-daughter,
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..

Maxine
Here are some very funny cartoons. I like how the creator comments on everything from politics, to culture, to aging.
Love,
Dad
John Wagner, Hallmark artist since 1970, says Maxine was inspired by his mother, his maiden aunts and his grandmother, the woman who bought him art lessons when 'fill in the pumpkins' was about the extent of his art classes at St. John's Catholic School Leonia N.J. John remembers doodling as a preschooler and says both his grandmother and his mother encouraged his artistic interests. He eventually attended the Vesper George School of Art in Boston and landed at Hallmark as part of a new artists group. But it was the birth of the humorous Shoebox Greetings (a tiny little division of Hallmark) in 1986 that added a new dimension to John's professional life. The Shoebox way of seeing the world unleashed his talents and created Maxine.

Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver and customer service.
He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine.. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey .
He handed my friend a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'

Dear Joe,
What is that saying "a picture is worth a thousand words?"

Here is what Obama needs set up to talk to a few school children. Not much room for kids. Still needs to have the teleprompters. The secret service guy in back keeps eyes out for any terrorist-type-8-year-old with tea partying parents.
Here's what the last guy needed.

Sicilian Stress Test
Dear Joe,
There are so many "tests" running around in email these days. I ignore most but this one caught my eye (you'll see why). Plus, it worked!
Love,
Dad
Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique used traditionally in Sicily.The funny thing is that it really does work.
1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Obama's Underwater Fantasy
Dear Joe,
This clip was sent to me from a friend in Argentina. It is very funny. Maybe not quite so funny if you are an Obama supporter, but if you have a good sense of humor I think it is something like you might see on SNL.

Advice from an Israeli Agent
Dear Joe,
The person that sent this to me said he was scared. I am not scared, but I am going to be wary and alert. It could happen here and there is not much I could do about it if It did, but at least I can be prepared and aware.
Love,

Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ' Munich ' was based. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard, and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.
In a lecture in New York City he shared information that EVERY American needs to know -- but that our government has not yet shared with us.

Should I really join Facebook?
Dear Joe,
This email Bob Cording sent me captures my sentiments exactly. Wait until you get to the end with the "bi-sacksual" comment.
Love,
Dad
When I bought my Blackberry I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world.
