How do you know if you're in love, in lust,
or really married?
For those of you who have any questions, or
misplaced envy, this should clear it up:
Love: When your eyes meet across a crowded room. Lust: When your tongues meet across a crowded room. Marriage: When you lose your child in crowded room.
Love: When intercourse is called "making love." Lust: When intercourse is called "screwing." Marriage: What the hell are you talking about?
Love: When you share everything you own. Lust: When you steal everything they own. Marriage: When the bank owns everything.
Love: When it doesn't matter if you don't climax. Lust: When the relationship is over if you don't climax. Marriage: What's a climax?
Love: When you write poems about your partner. Lust: When all you write is your phone number. Marriage: When all you write is cheques.
Love: When you show concern for your partner's feelings. Lust: When you couldn't give a &*%$ Marriage: When your only concern is what's on TV.
Love: When your farewell is "I love you, darling ..." Lust: When your farewell is "So, same time next week ..." Marriage: When your farewell is a relief.
Love: When you are proud to be seen in public with your partner. Lust: When you only see each other naked. Marriage: When you never see each other awake.
Love: When your heart flutters every time you see them. Lust: When your groin twitches every time you see them. Marriage: When your wallet empties every time you see them.
Love: When nobody else matters. Lust: When nobody else knows. Marriage: When everybody else matters and you don't care who knows.
Love: When all the songs on the radio describe exactly how you feel. Lust: When the song on the radio determines how you do it. Marriage: When you listen to talk radio.
Love: When breaking up is something you try not to think about. Lust: When staying together is something you try not to think about. Marriage: When just getting through today is your only thought.
Love: When you're only interested in doing things with your partner. Lust: When you're only interested in doing things TO your partner. Marriage: When you're only interested in your golf score.
(From "the Net")
Dear Mom and Dad,
Our scoutmaster told
us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and were
worried. We are OK. Only one of our tents and two sleeping bags got
washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up
the mountain looking for Chad when it happened. Oh yes, please call
Chad's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the
cast. I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was
neat.
We never would have found him in the dark if it wasn't for the lightning. Scoutmaster Walt got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Chad said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will blow up? The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did. Also some of our clothes. John is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Walt gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Walt said that a car that old you have to expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance.
We think it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the fenders. It gets pretty hot with 10 people in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway patrolman stopped and talked to us.
Scoutmaster Walt is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up here is logging trucks.
This morning, all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Walt wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Chad was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Walt isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the lifejackets. He has to spend a lot of the time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.
Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Wade and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Walt said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get things done better while he was doing his time.
By the way, what is a pedophile? I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters and buy bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
Love, Jordie
P.S.: How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot?
An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly.

You keep a list of companies to boycott.
Your
hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers
your mail is straight, and your Mary Kay Lady is a guy in drag.
You
occasionally see a guy on a unicycle whiz by you in your car and you
say to yourself, "Oh yeah, it's that guy again ..."
You
start to worry when you don't see the cross- dressing-bearded-guy-
n-a-tutu-and-bikini-top who-has-made-a- statement
with-his-grocery-cart and cardboard-box-art/shelter on your way to
work in the morning.
You'll make dinner or bar plans around who's
got the best margaritas.
You have a tough time deciding on one of
Austin's six 24-hour eating options (IHOP, Denny's, Katz', Kerbey,
Stars, or Magnolia Cafe).
You complain about their prices but
still shop at Central Market for the scene.
You don't even think
about getting good seats to the Longhorns.
You know the exact
locations of 3 towing yards.
Your summer shoes are your Birks and
your winter shoes are your Birks with socks.
Your entire wardrobe
consists of: a black tank-top, a GAP white T-shirt, second-hand
Levi's, second-hand cut-off Levis, overalls, Longhorns sweats,
anything polyester from the 70's, a bikini, Tevas, Birkenstocks, and
running shoes.
Dressing up to go out means throwing a tank top on
over the sports bra you've had on all day because it's so DAMN HOT.
You often find yourself wondering why magazine editors insist
that swimsuit season starts on Memorial Day when it's really the end
of February or at the latest, the beginning of March.
You
consider chips, salsa, Kerby Queso, and Shiner a well-balanced
meal.
You find yourself making beaded necklaces to give away as
Christmas gifts.
100 degrees for three straight months isn't
unreasonable, 110 degrees is, and 90 degrees anywhere between May and
September seems a little chilly.
You figure skin cancer is
inevitable because it's so DAMN HOT, even your sunscreen won't stay
on.
When you go out, you make sure you've grabbed your water
bottle before checking to see if you've got your wallet and keys.
You
don't mind parking a mile away as long as it's in the shade.
Nobody's aware that Southwestern went out of style.
You ask
yourself constantly if that's a cute guy or a butch girl. And you
really don't care either way cuz it's fun to wonder.
You'd rather
ride your bike than get in a car without air conditioning. At least
on your bike, you're guaranteed a breeze regardless of traffic.
You
see more Texas flags flying than American flags.

The journey of a thousand miles
begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
People who live
in glass houses shouldn't cavort nude on top of the piano doing
gorilla impersonations.
A rose by any other name would stick you
just as bad and draw just as much blood when you grab a thorn.
If
I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on
my cat.
Strangers are friends you haven't bled for an easy twenty
yet.
It takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown, and fewer
still to ignore someone completely.
Always take time to stop and
smell the roses ... and sooner or later, you'll inhale a bee.
If
you don't like my driving, don't call anyone. Just take another road.
That's why the highway department made so many of them.
When I'm
feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to
the end of his chain and gag himself.
It's always darkest before
dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbour's newspaper, that's
the time to do it.
If I won the lottery, I wouldn't be one of
those people who immediately quit their jobs. I'd make my boss's life
a living hell for a week or two first.
This land is your land.
This land is my land. So stay on your land.
