Valentine’s Day Monotony Breaker

Been a while since the last Monotony Breaker  —  as no radio shows to promote since mid-December.  However, I think you might agree that it was worth the wait.

This week’s edition of “Oldies w/ the Old Guy”  because it takes place on Valentine’s Day  —  features songs from the years 1957 to 1967 that include the word “Love” in the title.  Not necessarily the “biggest” hits (like the Beatles and the Supremes) but the “best” songs  —  in yours truly’s humble opinion.  Check it out at www.titanradio.org Tuesday morning at 11:00 am Eastern (8:00 am Pacific).

In the meantime, w/ all the snow that has been pelting the Eastern portions of North America  —  check out the Joy of living in Canada –

Finally  —  a clear explanation as to why there are more Men than there are Women. . .

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Some sophisticated observations offered by our sports heroes.

 

Don Meredith, Dallas Cowboys Quarterback once said : “Coach Tom Landry is such a perfectionist that if he was married to Raquel Welch, he would expect her to cook.”

 

“Last year we couldn’t win at home and we were losing on the road.  My failure as a coach was that I couldn’t think of anyplace else to play.”– Harry Neale, professional hockey coach

 

“Blind people come to the ballpark just to listen to him pitch.”– Reggie Jackson commenting on Tom Seaver.

 

“I’m working as hard as I can to get my life and my cash to run out at the same time. If I can just die after lunch Tuesday, everything will be perfect.”– Doug Sanders, professional golfer

 

“All the fat guys watch me and say to their wives, ‘See, there’s a fat guy doing okay. Bring me another beer.'”– Mickey Lolich, Detroit Tigers pitcher

 

“When it’s third and ten, you can have the milk drinkers; I’ll take the whiskey drinkers every time.”– Max McGee, Green Bay Packers receiver

 

“I found out that it’s not good to talk about my troubles. Eighty percent of the people who hear them don’t care and the other twenty percent are glad I’m having them.”– Tommy LaSorda , L A Dodgers manager

 

“My knees look like they lost a knife fight with a midget.”– E.J. Holub, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker regarding his 12 knee operations

 

“My theory is that if you buy an ice-cream cone and make it hit your mouth, you can learn to play tennis. If you stick it on your forehead, your chances aren’t as good.”– Vic Braden, tennis instructor

 

“When they operated, I told them to add in a Koufax fastball. They did, but unfortunately it was Mrs. Koufax’s.”– Tommy John , N.Y. Yankees, recalling his 1974 arm surgery

 

“I don’t know. I only played there for nine years.”– Walt Garrison, Dallas Cowboys fullback when asked if Tom Landry ever smiles.

 

“We were tipping off our plays. Whenever we broke from the huddle, three backs were laughing and one was pale as a ghost.”

– John Breen, Houston Oilers

 

“The film looks suspiciously like the game itself.”– Bum Phillips, New Orleans Saints, after viewing a lopsided loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

 

When I’m on the road, my greatest ambition is to get a standing boo.”– Al Hrabosky, major league relief pitcher

 

“I have discovered in 20 years of moving around the ball park that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.”– Bill Veeck, Chicago White Sox owner.

 

“Because if it didn’t work out, I didn’t want to blow the whole day.”– Paul Horning, Green Bay Packers running back on why his marriage ceremony was before noon.

 

“I have a lifetime contract. That means I can’t be fired during the third quarter if we’re ahead and moving the ball.”– Lou Holtz , Arkansas football coach

 

“I won’t know until my barber tells me on Monday.”– Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game

 

“I tell him “Attaway to hit, George.”– Jim Frey, K.C. Royals manager when asked what advice he gives George Brett on hitting.

 

“I learned a long time ago that ‘minor surgery’ is when they do the operation on someone else, not you.”– Bill Walton, Portland Trial Blazers

 

“Our biggest concern this season will be diaper rash.”– George MacIntyre, Vanderbilt football coach surveying the team roster that included 26 freshmen and 25 sophomores.

 

“The only difference between me and General Custer is that I have to watch the films on Sunday.”– Rick Venturi, Northwestern football coach

And finally. . .

The Candy With The Little Hole
This should make you smile.
You have to love little kids.

The children began to identify the flavors by their color:

Red………………..Cherry
Yellow…………….Lemon
Green………………Lime
Orange …………..Orange

 

Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers.  None
of the children could identify the taste.

The teacher said, “I will give you all a clue.  It’s what your
mother may sometimes call your father.”

One little girl looked up in horror, spit her lifesaver out and
yelled, “Oh my God!  They’re ass-holes!”

 

The teacher had to leave the room.

Paraprosdokians

Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently humorous.

(Winston Churchill loved them).

  1. Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you … but it’s still on my list.

  1. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

  1. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

  1. We never really grow up — we only learn how to act in public.

  1. War does not determine who is right, only who is left.

  1. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

  1. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

  1. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

  1. In filling out an application, where it says, “In case of emergency, notify… ” I answered ” a doctor.”

  1. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

  1. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

  1. I used to be indecisive, but now I’m not so sure.

  1. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

  1. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

  1. You’re never too old to learn something stupid.

  1. I’m supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

And Finally a case of “hard of hearing” w/ surprising results. . .

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth.

A female student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.

“Nurse,” he mumbles from behind the mask, “Are my testicles black?”

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know, Sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”

He struggles to ask again, “Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?”

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other. She looks very closely and says, “There’s nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look magnificent.”

The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, “Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely: “Are- My – Test – Results – Back?”

(Is there a golf course near your backyard?)

 

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk.

Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, “Ma’am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag.”

“Oh, really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me, Officer.”

“Well, now, not so fast,” said the cop. “Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?”

 “Oh, no, no”, said the old lady. “You see, my back yard is right next to a golf course. A lot of golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the best of it?’ So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, ‘O.K., buddy! Give me $20 or off it comes!’ 

“Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop, laughing. “OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?”

“Not everybody pays!!!”

A little boy goes to his father and asks ‘Daddy, how was I born?’

The father answers, ‘Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!

Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo.
Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe.

We sneaked into a secluded room, and googled each other.

There your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive.

As soon as I was ready to upload, We discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that Said:

‘You’ve got Male!

 

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Male logic… flawless

This a conversation between a man and his wife.

Please note that she asks five or six questions which

he answered quite simply,

but then she is speechless after answering only one

question. l bet this happens more often than not to

most husbands out there:

Woman: Do you drink  wine?

Man: Yes

Woman: How many glasses a day?

Man: Usually about three

Woman: How much do you pay per glass?

Man: $5.00 which includes a tip (this is where it gets

scary!)

Woman: And how long have you been drinking?

Man: About 40-50 years, I suppose

Woman: So a wine costs $5 and you have three

glasses a day which puts your spending each

month at $450. In one year, it would be

approximately $5400 correct?

Man: Correct

Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting

for inflation, the past 50 years puts your spending at

$270,000 correct?

Man: Correct

Woman: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much

wine, that money could have been put in a step-up

interest savings account and after accounting for

compound interest for the past 50 years, you now could

have bought a new sailboat and an jet airplane?

Man: Do you drink wine?

Woman: No.

Man: Where is your sailboat and an airplane?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

And finally  —  an interesting observation from

an Irish Art Gallery

At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband

and wife were staring at the portrait that had them

completely confused.  The painting depicted

three black men totally naked, sitting on a bench. 

Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in

the middle had a pink penis.  The curator of the

gallery realized that they were having trouble

interpreting the painting and offered his personal

assessment.

He went on for over half an hour explaining how

it depicted the sexual emasculation of African Americans

in a predominately white, patriarchal society. “In fact”,

he pointed out, “some serious critics believe that the

pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological
oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary

society”.

After the curator left, an Irishman approached the

couple and said, “Would you like to know what the

painting is really about?”  “Now why would you claim

to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery”,

asked the couple?  “Because I am the artist, who painted

the picture,” he replied. “In fact, there are no African

Americans depicted at all. They’re just three Irish coal

miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch.”

 

 

Prohibition Monotony Breaker

Today’s Monotony Breaker begins w/ some interesting “takes on life”  —  and continues w/ some entertaining bits of humor that I know you will love.

This is something to see.  YOU REALLY DO HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO.  Italian Auction – only 44 seconds!  You don’t have to understand Italian to follow the auctioneer:  A Chinese Ming Vase is up for auction. The bidding opens at a half-million Euros.  Bidding is brisk and each bidder is clearly identified as each raises the bid by 100,000 Euros. (The exchange rate at auction time was 1 Euro =$1.12.) Within seconds, the bid stalls at One million Euros, and the gasp from the crowd identifies the excitement that prevails in the room. The successful bidder is the last one who bid  one million, and the auctioneer counts down the bid, “Going once, going twice, and sold to the gentleman sitting in front of me for one million Euros.  Now, you are going to have to see the video for yourself.  The auctioneer is exuberant.  The pace is fast.  This is how an auction should be run.  Please note the excitement on the auctioneer’s face after the final bid:  http://www.youtube.com/embed/ 3e0yZCLjwfU?rel=0>

SEENAGER

I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager)

I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later.

I don’t have to go to school or work

I get an allowance every month.

I have my own pad.

I don’t have a curfew.

I have a driver’s license and my own car.

I have ID that gets me into bars and the wine store.

I like the wine store best.

The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant. They aren’t scared of anything. They have been blessed to live this long, why be scared?

And I don’t have acne.

Life is Good! Also, you will feel much more intelligent after reading this, if you are a Seenager.

Brains of older people are slow because they know so much.  People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains.

Scientists believe this also makes you hard of hearing as it puts pressure on your inner ear.

Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for.  It is NOT a memory problem, it is nature’s way of making older people do more exercise.

SO THERE!!

I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can’t remember their names.

So, please forward this to your friends; they may be my friends, too.

The Haircut

Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.

After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you; I’m doing community service this week.’  The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you; I’m doing community service this week.’ The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there were a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you; I’m doing community service this week.’ The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
As Ronald Reagan said: “BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!”

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF “THEY WALK AMONG US AND REPRODUCE!!

Actual call center conversations!

Customer:     ‘I’ve been calling 700-1000 for two days and can’t get through;
                         can you help?’
Operator:      ‘Where did you get that number, sir?’
Customer:     ‘It’s on the door of your business.’
Operator:     ‘Sir, those are the hours that we are open.’

———————————————————————-

Samsung Electronics
Caller:          ‘Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?’
Operator:     ‘I’m sorry, sir, I don’t understand who you are talking about.’
Caller:          ‘On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that    
                      I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and  
                      telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the
                      number for Jack?’
Operator:      ‘I think it means the telephone plug on the wall.’

———————————————————————-

Caller:         ‘Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am
                     traveling in Australia ?’

Operator:        ‘Woven? Are you sure?’
Caller:             ‘Yes.. That’s what it says on the label — Woven in Scotland …’

On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator: ‘I haven’t got a pen, so I’m steaming up the window to write the number on.’

Some timely advice from the Mayo Clinic. . .

MAYO CLINIC – DRINKING WATER
A cardiologist determined that heart attacks can be triggered by dehydration.

Good Thing To Know. From The Mayo Clinic. How many folks do you know who say they don’t want to drink anything before going to bed because they’ll have to get up during the night?

Heart Attack  and Water – Drinking one glass of water before going to bed avoids stroke or heart attack.   Interesting…….


Something else I didn’t know … I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time.

Answer from my Cardiac Doctor:  Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me.


Correct time to drink water… Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

  • 2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal organs

  • 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion

  • 1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure

  • 1 glass of water before going to bed – avoids stroke or heart attack

I can also add to this… My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.

Mayo Clinic on Aspirin – Dr. Virend Somers is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic who is the lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

 

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, When the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

  1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.

The Reason:  Aspirin has a 24-hour “half-life”; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.

  1. Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest; for years. (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

Please read on.

Something that we can do to help ourselves – nice to know.  Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.

Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It’s about Heart Attacks – There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.

The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.

Afterwards: – Call 911. – Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by. Say “heart attack!” – Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins. – Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ……..DO NOT LIE DOWN!

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved! I have already shared this information. What about you? Do forward this message. It may save lives!

“Life is a onetime gift” (Let’s forward and hope this will help save some!!!)

This comes  from two math teachers with a combined total of 70  years experience.
It has an indisputable  mathematical logic.
It also made me Laugh Out  Loud.
 


This is a strictly mathematical  viewpoint… and it goes like  this:

What Makes  100%?

What does it mean  to give MORE than 100%?

Ever  wonder about those people who say they are giving  more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings  where someone wants you to give over  100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What  makes up 100% in life?

Here’s a little  mathematical formula that might help you answer  these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J  K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is  represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14  15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then: 

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 =  98%

And 

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =  96% 

But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 =  100% 

And, 

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 =  103% 

AND, look how far ass  kissing  will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7  = 118% 

So, one can conclude  with mathematical certainty, that while  Hard  work  and  Knowledge will get you close, and  Attitude  will get you there.   But Its  the Bullshit  and  Ass  Kissing that will put you over the  top.  

Now you  know why Politicians are where they  are!

Senior Church Moment

A Preacher was explaining that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him more.

There is a hush within the congregation. No one wanted him to leave.

Joe Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the City stands up and Proclaims, .. ‘If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new
Cadillac every year, and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!’

The congregation sighs in relief, and applauds.

Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and investor, stands and says, ‘If the Preacher will stay on here, I’ll personally double his salary, and also establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of all his children!’

More sighs and loud applause.

Sadie Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, ‘If the Preacher stays, …. I will give him sex!’

There is total silence.

The Preacher, blushing, asks her, ‘Mrs. Jones, whatever possessed you to say that?’

Sadie’s 90 year old husband Jake is now trying to hide, holding his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking his head from side to side, while his wife replies, ‘Well , I just asked my husband how we could help,and he said,……’Screw him!’

Election Day Mini-MB

Today’s “Oldies w/ the Old Guy” featuring “Trios of Pop Music” has been uploaded to Mixcloud and is available by clicking on the following link:  https://www.mixcloud.com/billdickerson/oldies-with-the-old-guy-11-07-16-trios/  

By all means  —  check it out as I believe you will find it “fascinating” (to say the least) —  and in the meantime, enjoy the following “mini” MB that begins w/ some OUTstanding Sand Sculptures that may be the “best ever”. . . 

His Sand Sculptures Are Brilliant… How Is This Even Possible

Carl Jara’s work doesn’t have turrets, mermaids, or fish, but it does depict otherworldly scenes (along with realistic recreations) that spark the imagination. The Cleveland-based sculptor and woodworker does that on purpose: His intention is to create things you would never normally see in a sandcastle competition. His work is definitely unusual, not to mention totally impressive. See what Jara does with sand, patience, and a ton of talent, below.

lifebuzz-d7f75bb3d47b2e18988eb9f30c5036ed-limit_2000

Jara’s sculptures are more about abstraction than creating things that reflect marine life.

He’s earned nine World Championship metals for his sand sculptures,

it’s not difficult to see why 

lifebuzz-61569bac055b172ebfe72749abf7f019-limit_2000

His work is incredibly unusual, and it’s also a little subversive for your average sandcastle competition.

His work is so smooth and refined that you almost forget that what you’re looking at is sand, instead of wood or marble.

Jara studied fine art in college, but soon realized that design was not his strong suit. Instead, he wanted to create with his hands, and sand is the perfect medium.

1.)A doctor who had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines been prescribed for her.
     As the doctor was looking through these his eyes grew wide as he realized Grandma had a prescription for birth control pills. “Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are birth control pills ?”
     “Yes, they help me sleep at night.” 
     “Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely nothing in these to help you sleep!
     “She reached out & patted the young doctor’s knee & said, “Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up & mix it in the glass of orange juice my 16-year-old Granddaughter drinks. & believe me it definitely helps me sleep at night.”
You gotta love Grandmas!

2.)A man was riding a full bus minding his own business when the gorgeous woman next to him started to breast-feed her baby. The baby wouldn’t take it so she said, “Come on sweetie, eat it all up or I’ll have to give it to this nice man next to us.”
     5 minutes later the baby was still not feeding, so she said, “Come on, honey. Take it or I’ll give it to this nice man here.”
     A few minutes later the anxious man blurted out, “Come on kid. Make up your mind! I was supposed to get off 4 stops ago!”

3.)Students in an advanced Biology class were taking mid-term exams. The last question was, ‘Name seven advantages of Mother’s Milk.’  The question was worth 70 points or none at all. One student was hard put to think of 7 advantages. He wrote:
1) It is perfect formula for the child.
2) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3) It is always the right temperature.
4) It is inexpensive.
5) It bonds the child to mother & vice versa.
6) It is always available as needed.
The student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test he wrote:
7) It is in 2 attractive containers, high enough off the ground the cat can’t get it.
He got an: “A+”

4.)A woman and her 12-year-old son were riding in a taxi in Detroit. It was raining & all the prostitutes were standing under awnings.
     “Mom,” said the boy, “what are all those women doing?” 

     They’re waiting for their husbands to get off work,” she replied.
     The taxi driver turns around & says, “Geez lady, tell him the truth! They’re hookers, boy! They have sex with men for money.”
     The little boy’s eyes get wide & he says, “Is that true Mom?”
His mother, glaring hard at the driver, answers “Yes”.
     After a few minutes the kid asks, “Mom, if those women have babies, what happens to them?
     She said, ” Most of them become taxi drivers!”

MOMS IN GROUP THERAPY

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. “You all have obsessions,” he observed. 

To the first mother, Mary, he said, “You are obsessed with eating. 

You’ve even named your daughter Candy.” 

He turned to the second Mom, Ann: “Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny.” 

He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: 

“Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child’s name, Brandy.”
