Engage brain before opening mouth!

FIRST TESTIMONY:

I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.

SECOND TESTIMONY:

I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

THIRD TESTIMONY:

My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.

FOURTH TESTIMONY:

While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent up energy and run amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!". The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.

FIFTH TESTIMONY:

Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three year old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven month old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.". Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?". This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

LAST TESTIMONY:

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any... a true story. We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

Adam Talks All About Eve

After spending time with Eve, Adam was walking in the Garden with God. Adam told God how much the woman means to him and how blessed he feels to have her. Adam began to ask questions about her.

Adam: Lord, Eve is beautiful. Why did you make her so beautiful?
God: So you will always want to look at her.


Adam: Lord, her skin is so soft. Why did you make her skin so soft?
God: So you will always want to touch her.


Adam: She always smells so good. Lord, why did you make her smell so good?
God: So you will always want to be near her.


Adam: That's wonderful Lord, and I don't want to seem ungrateful, but why did you make her so stupid?
God: So she would love you.

You may not know that many non-living things have a gender.

1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.

3) Tyre -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.

4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.

5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.

6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.

7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

10) Remote Control -- Female...... Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying

WORDS WOMEN USE

FINE - This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES - If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING - This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD - This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH- This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY - This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS - A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology!

Kevin Keegan

Kevin Keegan has left Manchester City, but perhaps his greatest legacy as a manager will be his (alleged!) silly sayings, many of which I am pleased to list below. - enjoy!

You get bunches of players like you do bananas...though that is a bad comparison.

Argentina won't be at Euro 2000 because they're from South America.

People will say that was typical City, which really annoys me. But that's typical City, I suppose...

By the end he [Asprilla] was knackered-o. I think that's the Spanish for it.

They're the second best team in the world and there's no higher praise than that.

One of his strengths is not heading.

He's using his strength and that is his strength, his strength.

My father was a miner and he worked down a mine.

If I had a blank piece of paper there'd be five names on it.

Hungary is very similar to Bulgaria. I know they're different countries...

I didn’t see a lot. When Benitez learns a bit more English someone have to tell him to sit down.

England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's fans are second to none.

Against France we'll have to be at our best both technically, tactically and spirit-wise.

You can't do better than go away from home and get a draw.

We deserved to win this game after hammering them 0-0 in the first half.

I don't think there's anyone bigger or smaller than Maradona.

He [SWP] is now getting paid what he deserves to be paid. I don't approve of using kids as cheap labour.

The 33 or 34 year olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful.

Maine Road was a great football stadium but as time moved on it stayed where it is...

Chile have three options - they could win or they could lose.

Gary always weighed up his options, especially when he had no choice.

The tide is very much in our court now.

The Germans only have one player under 22, and he's 23.

You don't get two chances at this level, or at any other level for that matter.

He can't speak Turkey, but you can tell he's delighted.

Batistuta is very good at pulling off defenders.

There'll be no siestas in Madrid tonight.

It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney.

England can end the millennium as it started - as the greatest football nation in the world.

I know what is around the corner - I just don't know where the corner is.

But the onus is on us to perform and we must control the bandwagon.

They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different...

In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg.

Should Al-Fayed get a British passport? 1000 per cent yes.

The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game...

Despite his white boots, he has real pace...

That would have been a goal if it wasn't saved.

Goalkeepers aren't born today until they're in their late 2Os or 3Os.

The substitute is about to come on - he's a player who was left out of the starting line-up today.

The ref was vertically 15 yards away.

Sir John Hall was a multi-millionaire when I came back to Newcastle. With all the players I've bought, I'm trying to make him just an ordinary millionaire.

Football's always easier when you've got the ball.

People still have the concept of one big bath, but the way forward hygeine-wise is single baths.

It's like a toaster, the ref's shirt pocket. Every time there's a tackle, up pops a yellow card.

I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool dressing room at half-time.

I'm not trying to make excuses for David Seaman, but I think the lights may have been a problem...

The game has gone rather scrappy as both sides realise they could win this match or lose it.

I'm not disappointed - just disappointed.

There's a slight doubt about only one player, and that's Tony Adams, who definitely won't be playing tomorrow.

I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same today, except that it's totally different.

We managed to wrong a few rights.

It's my job not to get beheaded.

I'll never play at Wembley again, unless I play at Wembley again.

Sometimes there are too many generals and not enough people waving to the generals as they walk past.

A tremendous strike which hit the defender full on the arm - and it nearly came off.

That decision, for me, was almost certainly definitely wrong.

Danny Tiatto is not going to make a mistake on purpose.

He'll also be very dangerous from set-pieces. That means he'll be a threat from free-kicks and corners in the final third of the field.

He’s [Shaun Wright-Phillips] got a heart as big as his size, which isn’t big, but his heart’s bigger than that.

The problem in our country is that we use hindsight as our judge. When she [Margaret Thatcher] was in power, there were a lot of good things done, but people will always pick out bad things. She was a good lady.
