A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new
hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but, it's state of
the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."

The reason why you can't send a woman to a hardware
store
Earl was fixing a door and he found that he needed a
new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary to the hardware
store.
At the hardware store, Mary saw a beautiful teapot
on a top shelf while she was waiting for Carl, the
manager, to finish waiting on a customer.
When Carl was finished, Mary asked "How much for the
teapot?"
Carl replied, "That's silver and it costs $300."
"My goodness that sure is a lot of money", Mary
exclaimed.
Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Earl
had sent her to buy, and Carl went to the back room
to find it.
From the back room Carl yelled, "Mary, you wanna
screw for that hinge?"
Mary replied, "No, but I will for the teapot."
This is why you can't send a woman to a hardware
store

THE CHICAGO SHOW WAS GREAT
I decided against buying any of the special packages. General admission was just fine. I ended up about 6 people back - right in front of Joe.
PG was very good - even though the headphones were a little different.
JP was very very good.
JS - was the show - the reason I came, again.
The set list was the same as was posted here previously - no need to re-type it again.
The base/drums during JP were very loud/deep. Felt every beat in my chest, throat, everywhere - very powerful.
It was my first G3 concert in person - I was very entertained. During the G3 portion of the show - it looked liked the guys were having a very good time - enjoying themselves and the music.
Crowd was good sized - did not appear to be a sell out - but it was very full.
The sound / accoustics were good at the Congress Theater - only problem - PARKING - there is NO parking.

The concert was a blast.
I think PG wears headphones as his monitor - he can hear what is being played more clearly.
No pictures - I like to listen. Everyone around me was using either their phones or their cameras to take pictures - which was distracting, and at the same time, very cool (able to zoom in).

That makes a lot of sense (the headphones on Paul Gilbert). When he did remove them for a moment, it was only on his right side - probably his good ear.
Thanks for the news flash.

A man went into a pharmacy and asked to talk to a
male pharmacist.
The woman he was talking to said that she was the
pharmacist and that
she and her sister owned the store, so there were no
males employed there.
She then asked if there was something she could help
the gentleman with.
The man said "this is embarrassing for me, but I
have a permanent erection
which causes me a lot of problems and severe
embarrassment. I was
wondering what you could give me for it?"
The pharmacist said "Just a minute, I'll go talk to
my sister."
When she returned, she said, "the best we can do is
1/3 ownership in the store
and $3000 a month in living expenses."

EVER WONDER....
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our
skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth
closed?
Why you never see the headline "Psychic Wins
Lottery?"
Why "abbreviated" is such a long word?
Why doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, and
dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why the man who invests all your money is called a
broker?
Why the time of day with the slowest traffic is
called rush hour?
Why there isn't mouse-flavored cat food?
Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?
Why they sterilize the needle for lethal
injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used
on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane
out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all
stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the
opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport
the terminal?

Warning - Jury Duty Scam
Please pass this on to everyone in your email
address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared
should you get this call.
Most of us take the summons for jury duty seriously,
but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that
a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced. Fall
for it and your identity could be stolen, reports
CBS.
In this con, someone calls pretending to be a
court official who threateningly says a warrant has
been issued for your arrest because you didn't show
up for jury duty. The caller claims to be a jury
coordinator.
If you protest that you never received
a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for
your Social Security number and date of birth so he
or she can verify the information and cancel the
arrest warrant. Sometimes they even ask for credit
card numbers.
Give out any of this information and
.... Bingo! Your identity has just been stolen.
The scam has been reported so far in 11 states. This
scam is particularly insidious because they use
intimidation over the phone to try to bully people
into giving information by pretending they're with
the court system.
The FBI and the federal court
system have issued nationwide alerts on their web
sites, warning consumers about the fraud.
Pass this on.
I checked Snopes and this is for real. Here is the
link if you want to check it out.

Post Office unveils Star Wars stamp set
WASHINGTON - Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi will do battle one more time — and the emperor, Han Solo, Princess Leia and others will join in the struggle. A set of 15 stamps commemorating the Star Wars movies will be released in May, the Postal Service said Wednesday.
And people will get to vote on their favorite from the set, which will be reissued in late summer or early fall as a single stamp, said David Failor, director of stamp services at the post office.
"We're hoping that it really grabs a lot of attention. There are certainly a lot of Star Wars fans out there," Failor said in a telephone interview.
The 41-cent stamps will be released May 25. The price of sending a letter goes up to that rate on May 14.
Failor said issuing a Star Wars stamp had been considered previously in the "Celebrate the Century" stamp series, and the advisory committee that selects stamp subjects recently decided to revive the idea for the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Star Wars film.
The 15 stamps will be issued on a single sheet that resembles a movie poster. Once the stamps are available, people who want to vote for their favorite will be able to do it online at http://www.uspsjedimaster.com

The Patient
Larry, a male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an
oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a
difficult four hour, surgical procedure.
A young, student nurse appears to give 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, are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles,
she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in
the other, lifting and moving them around.
Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them,
Sir!!"
The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very,
closely...
A r e - m y - t e s t - r e s u l t s - b a c k?"

The Husband Store & New Wives store
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City , where a
woman can go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is
a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of
the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may
choose any item from a particular floor, but you cannot go back down except
to exit the building.
So, a woman goes to the husband store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - these men have jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth
floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and
help with housework.
"Oh mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" She goes to the fifth
floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kid s, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with
housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. This floor exists
solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the husband store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just
across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

Women Drivers
This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a
Woman
In a brand new Cadillac
Doing 65 mph
With her Face up next to her Rear view mirror
Putting on her eyeliner.
I looked away
For a couple seconds !
And when I looked back she was
Halfway over in my lane,
Still working on that makeup.
As a man,
I don't scare easily.
But she scared me so much;
I dropped
My electric shaver ,
Which knocked
The donut
Out of my other hand.
In all The confusion of trying
To straighten out the car
Using my knees against
The steering wheel,
It knocked
My cell phone
Away from my ear
Which fell
Into the coffee
Between my legs,
Splashed,
And burned
Big Jim and the Twins,
Ruined the damn phone,
Soaked my trousers,
And disconnected an Important call.
Damn women drivers!!

Don't Tease Old Ladies
Defense Attorney:
Will you please state your age?
Little Old Lady:
I am 86 years old.
Defense Attorney:
Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?
Little Old Lady:
There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening,
when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.
Defense Attorney:
Did you know him?
Little Old Lady:
No, but he sure was friendly.
Defense Attorney:
What happened after he sat down?
Little Old Lady:
He started to rub my thigh.
Defense Attorney:
Did you stop him?
Little Old Lady:
No, I didn't stop him.
Defense Attorney:
Why not?
Little Old Lady:
It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Albert died some 30 years ago.
Defense Attorney:
What happened next?
Little Old Lady:
He began to rub my breasts.
Defense Attorney:
Did you stop him then?
Little Old Lady:
No, I did not stop him.
Defense Attorney:
Why not?
Little Old Lady:
His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years!
Defense Attorney:
What happened next?
Little Old Lady:
Well, by then, I was feeling so "spicy" that I just laid down and told him
"Take me, young man. Take me now!"
Defense Attorney:
Did he take you?
Little Old Lady:
Hell, no! He just yelled, "April Fool!" And that's when I shot him, the little bastard.

I liked Mindcrime I a lot more than II.
II has a few good songs - probably better live. I saw Mindcrime I performed live - good show.
I haven't seen Mindcrime II live - maybe that will make a difference.

Good to see your name pop up here again.
Computers can be a real pain when they want to - or, more likely, when you don't want them be, they are.
