I’VE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM MY MISTAKES. . .

I’M THINKING OF MAKING A FEW MORE.

IF I TOLD YOU WHERE THE SELF-HELP SECTION IS . . .

THAT WOULD KIND OF DEFEAT THE PURPOSE, NOW WOULDN’T IT?

I NEVER RUN WITH SCISSORS.

Those last two words were unnecessary.

 

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,

… you would have $49.00 today!

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago,

… you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,

… you would have $0.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer,

then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund,

… you would have $214.00 today.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.

 

 

Someone was telling me that they make ice cubes

out of left-over wine.

This was confusing.

Just what is left-over wine?

                     . . . and What’s So Great about being Online?

The Dallas Solution

The Dallas Solution
I have a friend who is president of his homeowners association in the Dallas, Texas suburbs. They were having a terrible problem with litter near some of his association’s homes. The reason, according to my friend, is that six very large, luxurious new houses are being built right next to their community.

The trash was coming from the Mexican laborers working at the construction sites and included bags from McDonald’s, Burger King and 7-11, plus coffee cups, napkins, cigarette butts, coke cans, empty bottles, etc. He went to see the site supervisor and even the general contractor, politely urging them to get their workers not to litter the neighborhood, to no avail. He called the city, county, and police and got no help there either.

So here’s what his community did. They organized about twenty folks, named themselves the “Inner Neighborhood Services” group, and arranged to go out at lunch time and “police” the trash themselves. It is what they did while picking up the trash that is so hilarious.

They bought navy blue baseball caps and had the initials “INS” embroidered in gold on the caps.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand what they hoped people might mistakenly think the letters really stand for.

After the Inner Neighborhood Services group’s first lunch time pickup detail, with all of them wearing their caps and some carrying cameras, 46 out of the total of 68 construction workers did not show up for work the next morning — and haven’t come back yet.

It has been ten days now.

The General Contractor, I’m told, is madder than hell, but can’t say anything publicly because he could be busted for hiring illegal aliens. My friend and his bunch can’t be accused of impersonating federal personnel, because they have the official name of the group recorded in their homeowner association minutes along with a notation about the vote to approve formation of the new subcommittee — and besides, they informed the INS in advance of their plans, and according to my friend, the INS said basically, “Have at it!”

SO, FOLKS, I THINK YOU COULD SAY THAT TEXAS INGENUITY TRIUMPHS AGAIN!

Reminder: Don’t forget to pay your taxes……. 12 million illegal aliens are depending on you.

No apology for sending this! After hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Spanish – enough is enough. Nowhere did they sing it in Italian, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German or any other language because of immigration. It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts even gave the translation — not even close. I’m NOT sorry if this offends anyone because this is MY COUNTRY – IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY SPEAK UP — Please pass this along. Come through like everyone else. APPLY FIRST – Get a sponsor; have a place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE as all other immigrants have in the past — and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PART OF THE PROBLEM
Think about this: If you don’t want to forward this for fear of offending someone — YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

It is Time for America to Speak up. No wonder, California is in such financial trouble!

Yep, I passed it on! Calling an illegal alien an ‘undocumented immigrant’ is like calling a drug dealer an ‘unlicensed pharmacist’
