Tired of the Rain

A fellow died one day and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment.
As he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into Heaven.
Others though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning pit.
But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the
fire, Satan would toss a soul off to one side into a small pile.
Watching Satan do this several times, the fellow's curiosity got the best of him.
So he strolled over and asked Satan what he was doing.
"Excuse me, Mr. Prince of Darkness," he said. "I'm waiting in line for judgment, but I couldn't help wondering why you are
tossing those people aside instead of flinging them into the Fires of Hell with the others."
"Ah, those," Satan said with a groan.
"They're all from British Columbia
. . . . They're still too wet to burn."

Five pearls of Scottish wisdom to remember

1. Money cannot buy happiness but, it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes Benz than it is on a bicycle.

2.. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard’s name.

3. Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.

4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.

5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then neither does milk.

Thanks Richard

The Baptist Newfie...

The Baptist Newfie...

.. A Newfie walks into a Toronto bar and orders three mugs of Moosehead.
He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells the Newfie, "You know, a mug goes flat
after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time." The
Newfie replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One's in Come by
Chance and the other's in Carnerbrook. Before I left home, we promised
each other that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank
together. So I'm drinkin' one beer for each of my brothers and one for
meself."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there..
The Newfie becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way..
He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and
only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When
he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I
don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences
on your loss." The Newfie looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light
dawns in his eyes and he laughs. Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he
explains, "It's just that me wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I
had to quit drinkin'." "Hasn't affected me brothers though."

Women Think of Everything!!

An old man and woman were married for many years, even though they hated each other. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, 'When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!'

Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced magic, because of the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood. The old man liked the fact that he was feared. ---To everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 98.

His wife had a closed casket at the wake. After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and began to party, as if there was no tomorrow.

Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, 'Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?'

The wife put down her drink and said, 'Let him dig. I had him buried upside down.'

And you know men won't ask for directions...
