    Have a Laugh On Me !

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...

    >  When I was born, the doctor said to my father, " I'm sorry, we did everything we could, but he still pulled thru".

    >  I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

    >  I'm so ugly, my old man, he carries around the picture of the kid that came with the wallet.

    >  I've stayed at some rough hotels - Boy what a hotel that was, why they stole my towel.

    >  This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the FRUIT-OF-THE-LOOM guys laughing at me.

    >  My wife was so ugly that the last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.

    >  One night I asked a cab driver to take me where the action is, he took me to my house.

    >  My wife has to be the worst cook. I've got the only dog who begs for alka-seltzer.

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    "My idea of CHRISTMAS, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: LOVING OTHERS.
