[A man] was wandering around in a field, thinking
about how good his wife had been to him and how fortunate
he was to have her. He asked God, "Why did you make her
so kind-hearted?"

The Lord responded, "So you could love her, my son."

"Why did you make her so good-looking?"

"So you could love her, my son."

"Why did you make her such a good cook?"

"So you could love her, my son."

The man thought about this. Then he said, "I don`t mean to
seem ungrateful or anything, but ... why did you make her so
stupid?"

"So she could love you, my son."

The Truth about Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO)


Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills
uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these
deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers
of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure
to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of
DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and
possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte
imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO
withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide...

  • is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of
    acid rain
  • contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
  • may cause severe burns.
  • contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
  • accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
  • may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of
    automobile brakes.
  • has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer
    patients.


Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every
stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the
pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in
Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of
property damage in the midwest, and recently in California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used...

  • as an industrial solvent and coolant.
  • in nuclear power plants.
  • in the production of Styrofoam.
  • as a fire retardant.
  • in many forms of cruel animal research.
  • in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing,
    produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
  • as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food
    products.


Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing
can be done to stop them because this practice is still
legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot
afford to ignore it any longer! The American government has
refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this
damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of
this nation." In fact, the navy and other military
organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing
multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during
warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities
receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground
distribution network. Many store large quantities for later
use.


Act NOW to prevent further contamination! Write to your
representatives, calling for an world-wide ban on the use of
dihydrogen monoxide, this silent killer! Let's give those
politicians something more important to worry than figuring how to
prevent the application of natural, well known properties of
numbers to encrypt data. And find out more about this
dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and
others throughout the world.

Note:  In case you haven't already
figured it out, the symbol for dihydrogen monoxide is
H20 (water).

Anagrams

An anagram, as you all know, is a word or phrase made by or
rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.  The
following are exceptionally clever.  Someone out there either

Birds and Bees

Morris asks his son, now aged 10, if he knows about the birds
and the bees.  "I don't want to know!" the child said,
bursting into tears.  Confused, the father asked his son what
was wrong.

"Oh dad," he sobbed, "At age six I got the
'There's no Santa' speech.  At age seven I got the 'There's no
Easter bunny' speech.  Then at age 8 you hit me with the
'There's no tooth fairy' speech!  If you're going to tell me
now that grown-ups don't really have sex, I've got nothing left
to live for!"

Five Questions Men Hate

The 5 questions most feared by men are:


1. What are you thinking about?

2. Do you love me?

3. Do I look fat in this?

4. Do you think she is prettier than me?

5. What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is
guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers
incorrectly (i.e., tells the truth). Therefore, as a public
service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible
responses.

Question #1:  What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is: " I'm sorry if I've been
pensive, dear.  I was just reflecting on what a warm,
wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and
how lucky I am to have met you."  This response obviously
bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one
of the following:

a. Football.

b. Golf.

c. How fat you are.

d. How much prettier she is than you

e. How I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al
Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was
thinking, I would be talking to you!"

Question #2:  Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed
answer is in order, "Yes, dear."


Inappropriate responses include:

a. Oh Yeah, sh@*-loads.

b. Would it make you feel better if I said yes?

c. That depends on what you mean by love.

d. Does it matter?

e. Who, me?

Question #3:  Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!"  Among
the incorrect answers are:

a. Compared to what?

b. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.

c. A little extra weight looks good on you.

d. I've seen fatter.

e. Sorry what did you say?  I was just thinking about how I
would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question #4:  Do you think she's prettier than
me?


Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Incorrect responses include:

a. Yes, but you have a better personality

b. Not prettier, but definitely thinner

c. Not as pretty as you when you were her age

d. Define pretty

e. Sorry what did you say?  I was just thinking about how I
would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question #5:  What would you do if I died?

A definite no-win question.  (The real answer, of course, is
"Buy a Lotus and a Boat").

No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour
of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:


WOMAN: Would you get married again?

MAN: Definitely not!

WOMAN: Why not - don't you like being married?

MAN: Of course I do.

WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry?

MAN: Okay, I'd get married again.

WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)

MAN: (makes audible groan)

WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?

MAN: Where else would we sleep?

WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with
pictures of her?

MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do.

WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?

MAN: She can't use them; she's left-handed.

WOMAN: - - - silence - - -

MAN: Sh&%.
