When you're hospitalized, it pays to be nice to your nurse, even when you're feeling miserable. A bossy businessman learned the hard way after ordering his nurses around as if they were his employees. But the head nurse stood up to him. One morning she entered his room and announced, "I have to take your temperature."
After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth. "No, I'm sorry, the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I can't use an oral thermometer." This started another round of complaining, but eventually he rolled over and bared his bottom. After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, "I have to get something. Now you stay just like that until I get back!"
She left the door to his room open on her way out, and he cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past his door laughing. After almost an hour, the man's doctor came into the room. "What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answered, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?" "Yes," said the doctor. "But never with a carnation."

I'm getting married next year.
We have 200 people coming and the insurance for the church says that's the max for health & safety reasons....
However, my boyfriend & I were talking to his mum at the weekend and she announced that people could just turn up for the wedding ceremony uninvited...is this true? Is it polite? Personally, I'd be really offended if people just rocked up without letting anyone know, especially if they nab a seat reserved for someone who has an invite.
We were talking about his ex girlfriend (of 3 months) who is now dating an aquaintance we know. We'd like this aquaintance to play the drums for the songs we're singing so boyfriends mum said that we had to invite the ex too. Then said we didn't need to invite extras, its a free thing and you can't ban people from weddings....she said what if they have a reason we can't be married?
It really upset me so I was just wondering whether there was any truth in what she said? Or whether its bad ettiquette?

Two rednecks meet on a dusty country road. One of them is carrying a big bag labeled, "chickens."
"Chickens, eh?" says one guy. "Hey, if I guess how many chickens you got, will you give me one?"
"Heck," says the guy with the bag, "iffin you guess right, I'll give you both of 'em."
The other scratches his head and guesses, "Um... five?"
An old cowhand came riding into town on a hot, dry, dusty day. The local sheriff watched from his chair in front of the saloon as the cowboy wearily dismounted and tied his horse to the rail. The cowboy then moved slowly to the back of his horse, lifted its tail, and placed a big kiss where the sun don't shine. He dropped the horse's tail, stepped up on the walk and aimed toward the swinging doors of the saloon.
"Hold on there, Mister," said the sheriff. "Did I just see what I think I saw?"
"Reckon you did, Sheriff. I got me some powerful chapped lips."
"And that cures them?" the Sheriff asked.
"Nope, but it keeps me from lickin' 'em."

Lets say you see a homeless guy on the street, and lets say you take out a $10 bill and give it to him. What reason do you do this for? I know 98% have never done this, but for this question, you did it 30 minutes ago.
1. Your chances of going to heaven have increased. And besides, its just generally a "GOOD" thing to do.
2. Because he is unfortuante, and you CAN help him even if its JUST a little, no heaven points guaranteed here.
3. It just makes you feel better, but you dont know why.
4. Your own answer.

, "Well, I've got some good news and some bad news."
The patient sighed, "Okay, give me the bad news first."
"The bad news is that you have an inoperable brain tumor."
The patient looked very grave, and asked, "And what are the good news, anything to help me with the brain tumor?"
"The good news is our hospital has just been certified to do brain transplants and there has been an accident right out front and a young couple was killed and you can have which ever brain you like. The man's brain is $100,000.00 and the woman's brain is $30,000.00."
"I'm glad to hear there's something you can do to help me," the man replied, "But, out of curiousity, why is there such a big difference in the price of male and female brain?"
The doctor replied, "The female brain is used."
