Quotes
Birthdays are good for you: the more you
have, the longer you live.
Happiness comes through doors you didn’t
even know you left open.
Ever notice that the people who are late
are often much jollier than the people who have to wait for them?
Some mistakes are too much fun to only
make once.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy
the scenery on a detour.
If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day,
how come nothing is free yet?
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does
include a free trip around the sun every year.
There is no better time than right now to
be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don’t need money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
And dance like no one’s watching……………

And a little Cowboy Humor…
A West
Texas cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when suddenly a
brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.
The
driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes,
Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the
cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have
in your herd, will you give me a calf?" The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a
yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers,
"Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook
computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a
NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite
navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds
to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution
photo. The young man then opens the
digital photo in Adobe Photo shop and Exports it to an image processing
facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within minutes, he receives an email on his
Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then
accesses an MS- SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel Spreadsheet
with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a
response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-
tech, Miniaturized HP Laser Jet printer and finally turns to the
cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,"
says the Cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals
and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his
car. Then the cowboy says to the young
man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will
you give me back my calf?"
The young
man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?" The cowboy says, "You're a Congressman
for the U.S. Government."
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you
guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed
up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer
I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how
much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows.... Now
give me back my dog."
