    Foggettabouit...

    Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other,” Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
    "Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association, etc. It was great."
    "That's great! And what was the name of the clinic?"
    Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
    "You mean a rose?"
    "Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife, "Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"

    Another Great Oldie - Words Women Use

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

    2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

    3.) 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.

    4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

    5.) Loud Sigh: This is 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 about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

    6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

    7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome, or else you'll have to wait for a long time for the next one.

    8.) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying GET OUT OF HERE!

    9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "what's wrong", for the woman's response refer to # 3.

    The Priest immediately commented, "Luigi, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell the audience what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary..."

    A Modern Parable

    A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (General Motors)
    decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River . Both teams practiced
    long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.
    On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.
    GM very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the
    reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior
    management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
    Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person
    steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person
    rowing.
    Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a
    consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second
    opinion. They advised, of course , that too many people were steering the
    boat, while not enough people were rowing.
    Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent
    another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering
    superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.
    They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program," with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

    The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
    Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor
    performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and
    canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was
    distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing
    team was out-sourced to India .

    After the Great Britian Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.

    The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senior, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

    The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.

    The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky
    Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.

    The guy from Guiness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The
    bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

    The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Guiness?" ...and the Guiness president replies, "Well, if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither will I."

  9. Just in case you don't understand how a "Government" program works, here is an example:

    "The Night Watchman"

    The government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of the desert.

    Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."

    So they created a Night Watchman position and hired a person at $18000 per year.

    Then Congress said, "How does the Night Watchman do his job without instruction?"

    So they created a Planning Department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions for $22000 per year, and one person to do time studies for an additional $22000 per year.

    Then Congress said, "How will we know the Night Watchman is doing the tasks correctly?

    So they created a Quality Control Department and hired two people. One to do the studies for $31000 per year and one to write the reports for an additional $31000 per year.

    Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?

    So they created the following positions, a Time Keeper for $35,000 annual salary, and a
    Payroll Officer for an additional $35,000, and hired two people.

    Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"

    So they created an Administrative Section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer at $155,000 per year, Assistant Administrative Officer at $125,000 per year, and a Legal Secretary for an additional $100,000 per year.

    Then Congress said, "We have had this operating for one year with a budget cost of $574,000.00 and we are $18,000 over budget. We must cutback overall cost."

    SO THEY LAID OFF THE NIGHT WATCHMAN
