Who could these people be?

I have been going through our papers and found some old pictures.  It is good to see some of the old gang from Andrus.  Those picutres were taken back when I was driving.   I have to get back to my physical condition when I ran the 2003 Marathon.  That was the best I have felt for years.

Go Miss California!!!!!

Mr. Perez Hilton isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.  He is very upset because Miss California was honest.  What a concept!  He asked a charged question and received an answer that should be given.  What happened to free speech?  What happened to allowing others their own view?  Isn’t he upset because he feels like others haven’t given gays their fair share?   Now he is willing to take that from anyone who opposes him?   Please, let’s get a grip.  It is because of the people like Mr. Hilton that we have a tendency of swinging to one side or the other instead of being fair and honest.  The true winner was Miss California and not Miss N Carolina.  Who really has the back bone?   Who has the guts when the chips are down?  This is the very reason that I don’t like the Miss USA pageant to begin with, but to attack Miss California as Mr. Perez has is not acceptable and shouldn’t be tolerated by any American that stands for liberty, honesty, or fairness.  If you remove the gay rights issue and simply go from the right of every citizen to speak their mind, this should shake everyone to their very foundation.  I could understand Mr. Perez’s outrage if she were to be mean spirited or hateful, but she wasn’t.  Indeed in the face of seeing her dreams being flushed down the toilet, thanks to Mr. Perez’s ill conceived question, she was honest yet sensitive to the fact that others don’t share her views. 

Here is on of the many post interviews:

 

 

 

In fact, Miss California would be the perfect Miss USA.  One of the basic principles that everyone should learn early in life is “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything!”  A perfect example is the mess that has been created in Washington.  The “Political Correct” course only leads down a path of indecision and corruption.  What we need is a group of people that will stand for something and if what they stand for isn’t what America wants, then find someone else.  But at least we will have a pathway that we can walk down instead of the desert that is before us today.

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the political rant.  Mr. Perez is the typical speak and think what you want as long as it is what I speak and think individual that we see filling today’s special interest landscape.  I have about the same tolerance for people like this as he does for Miss California!

Dental Jokes
Collections from the web

 




A young Dentist had just started his own Clinic. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques.
Sitting there, he saw a man come into the front office. Wishing to appear the "busy dentist", the gentleman picked
up the phone and started to pretend he had to give an appointment.
Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"
The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate


A patient sits in the dental chair with severely fractured front teeth. After discussing how they will be restored
and what the fee would be the patient says, " Before we begin, Doc, I gotta know: Will I be able to play the trumpet
when you are finished? " The dentist replies " Sure you will! "
The patient replies " Great, I couldn't play a note before! "


Dentists can be frustrating. You wait a month-and-a-half for an appointment, and they say, "I wish you'd come to me sooner."


"Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill." -- Johnny Carson


Toothaches always start on Friday night right before the weekend when the Dental Office will be closed.


A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that would have to be filled.
"Now, young man," asked the dentist, "what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?"
"Chocolate, please," replied the youngster.


Last week Grace went to the dentist's office for a checkup and music was playing.
She was early for her appointment, but after waiting ten minutes, an elderly woman
sitting beside her said, "isn't that just like a dentist? A waiting room jammed with people,
and the dentist is in there playing the piano."


A woman phoned her dentist when she received a huge bill. "I'm shocked!" she complained.
"This is three times what you normally charge."
"Yes, I know," said the dentist. "But you yelled so loud, you scared away two other patients."


A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. "I want a tooth pulled,
and I don't want Novacaine because I'm in a big hurry," the woman said. "Just extract the tooth
as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way." The dentist was quite impressed.
"You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?" The woman turned to her husband
and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."


Simon said...
Why did the guru refuse Novacaine when he went to his dentist?
He wanted to transcend dental medication.


Man: "Darling, your teeth remind me of the stars"
Woman: "Because they gleam and sparkle"

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at McDonald's. He noticed that they had ordered one meal,
and an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the
fries, one for him, one for her, until each had half of them. Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra
cup and set that in front of his wife. The old man then began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands
folded in her lap.The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that
they didn't have to split theirs. The old gentleman said, "Oh no. We've been married 50 years, and everything has
always been and will always be shared, 50/50." The young man then asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she
replied... "Not yet...It's his turn with the teeth!"


When a new dentist set up in a small town he quickly acquired a reputation of being the latest kind of "Painless" dentist.
But a local lad quicky disputed this. "He's a fake ! " he told his mates. "He's not painless at all. When he stuck his
finger in my mouth I bit him - and he yelled like anyone else."


A man went to his dentist because he feels something wrong in his mouth. The dentist examines him and says,
"that new upper plate I put in for you six months ago is eroding. What have you been eating?" The man replies,
"all I can think of is that about four months ago my wife made some asparagus and put some stuff on it that was
delicious...Hollandaise sauce. I loved it so much I now put it on everything --- meat, toast, fish, vegetables,
everything." "Well," says the dentist, "that's probably the problem. Hollandaise sauce is made with lots of lemon
juice, which is highly corrosive. It's eaten away your upper plate. I'll make you a new plate, and this time use
chrome." "Why chrome?" asks the patient. To which the dentist replies, "It's simple. Everyone knows that there's
no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!"


Patient: Doctor, I have yellow teeth, what do I do?
Dentist: Wear a brown tie...


Dentist says to the patient: Could you help me? Could you give out a few of your
loudest, most painful screams?
Patient: Why? Doc, it isn't all that bad this time.
Dentist: There are so many people in the waiting room right now and I don't want to
miss the 7 o'clock tennis game.


A husband and wife entered the dentist's office. The husband said,
"I want a tooth pulled.I don't want gas or Novocain because I'm in a terrible hurry.
Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible."

"You're a brave man," said the dentist. "Now, show me which tooth it is."

The husband turns to his wife and says,
"Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear."

"Good God !" he said startled. "You've got the biggest cavity I've ever seen
the biggest cavity I've ever seen." "OK Doc !" replied the patient.
"I'm scared enough without you saying something like that twice."
"I didn't !" said the dentist. "That was the echo."


While I was waiting to see the dentist, a woman came out of his inner office smiling.
Nodding to me, she said, "Thank goodness my work is completed.

"Oh, that was just my Mother."

Patient: Doctor, I am very nervous. You know, this is my first extraction.

A particularly voluptuous lady entered the dentists surgery in an obvious state of agitation.
The dentist tried to calm her down assuring her that he would do nothing to hurt her.
She sat down in the chair and started fidgeting nervously as the dentist began sterilizing all the
required equipment. When he asked her to open her mouth, she screamed.
So he tried to calm her down again even though he was losing patience.
Almost immediately the lady threw a hysterical fit, then realizing that the dentist had begun glaring at her,
she said, "Oh doctor, I'm so nervous. I hate dentists. Why, I think I'd rather have a baby than have a tooth drilled."
Replied the dentist " Well Miss, better make up your mind fast so that I can accordingly adjust the chair."


A dinner speaker was in such a hurry to get to the hotel that when he arrived and sat down at the head table,
he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to get his false teeth. Turning to the man next to him he said,
"I forgot my teeth." The man said, "No problem." With that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair
of false teeth.
"Try these," he said. The speaker tried them. "Too loose," he said. The man then said,
"I have another pair...try these." The speaker tried them and responded, "Too tight."
The man was not taken back at all. He then said, "I have one more pair...try them."
The speaker said, "They fit perfectly." With that he ate his meal and gave his address.
After the dinner meeting was over, the speaker went over to thank the man who had helped him.
"I want to thank you for coming to my aid. Where is your office? I've been looking for a good dentist."
The man replied, "I'm not a dentist. I'm the local  ."


Patient: How much to have this tooth pulled?
Dentist: With pain $200 and without pain $100.
Patient: Well, without pain it's cheaper. Pull it WITHOUT pain.
Without anesthesia neither anything, the dentist begins to extract the tooth,
when the patient outcry: Aaaahhhhhhhh !!!!!


Hey, WITH pain it costs $200 !!!, replies the dentist.
Patient: How much to have this tooth pulled?
Dentist: $200
Patient: $200 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly, if you like.


A patient asked the dentist, if it wasn’t nasty to be all the day with the hands in someone's mouth.
The dentist answered "I just think of it as having my hands in their wallet."


DENTIST is the most suitable male profession - the only man that can tell a
woman when to open and when to shut her mouth, and get away with it.


MY ELDERLY NEIGHBOR was promised a brief appointment with a dentist to have
her new dentures fitted. After waiting over an hour in the dental chair, she
complained to him about the long delay. "I guess you haven't noticed I have only
two hands," he answered curtly. Unmoved by his excuse, she replied, "You knew that
when you put me in the chair." --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Darlene

IN MY BUSY DENTAL OFFICE, I see several patients at the same time. As soon as
I finish with one, I run to the next room to resume treatment on another. One day,
I returned to a second patient without saying good-by to the first. As my first
patient was leaving, she gave a friendly wave. Acknowledging her, I said loudly,
"By." My other patient obediently chomped down and bit my fingers.
