This explains why I tell jokes.
A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery,
when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high,
white stone wall along one side of the road..
It looked like fine marble.
At the top of a long hill,
it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it
he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like
mother-of-pearl,
and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate,
and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
Wow!
Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in,
and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog,
come in, too?" the traveler asked.
I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment
and then turned back toward the road
and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill,
he came to a dirt road leading through
a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.
There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside,
leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"
Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an
old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself,
then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full,
he and the dog walked back toward the man
who was standing by the tree.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said.
"The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates?
Nope That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks
who would leave their best friends behind"
Soooo...
Sometimes, we wonder why friends
keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word.
Maybe this will explain.
When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch,
guess what you do? You forward jokes.
When you have nothing to say,
but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.
When you have something to say,
but don't know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes.
Also to let you know that you are still remembered,
you are still important,
you are still loved,
you are still cared for,
guess what you get?
A forwarded joke.
So, next time if you get a joke,
don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke,
but that you've been thought of today
and your friend on the other end of your computer
wanted to send you a SMILE.
You are welcome @ my water bowl anytime!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
TY for sharing this with us !
The jokes could be better though. Ha Ha
