Everyone visiting this site probably has a lot of stress in their life; here's a stress level indicator.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it is amazingly accurate. Read the full text before looking at the attachment.
The attached picture has two identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored scientific study revealed that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the two dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.
Look at the attached photograph and if you find more than one or two differences, you need to take a break.

An elderly gentleman walks into an
upscale cocktail lounge. He is in his mid-eighties, very well-dressed,
hair well-groomed, great looking suit, flower in his lapel and smelling
slightly of an expensive after shave. He presents a very nice image.
Seated at the bar is a classy looking lady in her mid-seventies.
The sharp old gentleman walks over and sits alongside her.
He orders a drink and takes a sip. He slowly turns to the lady and
says: "So, tell me..... do I come here often?"

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead
penguins on the ice in Antarctica? Have you ever wondered where they
all go?
Wonder no more! It is a well-established fact that the penguin is a very
ritualistic bird and lives an extremely ordered and complex life within a
well-organized community. Penguins are extremely committed to their
family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate
contact with their offspring and they will remain with their original colony
throughout the remainder of their life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of their family
and the social circle in their colony have been known to dig holes in the ice,
using only their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the
dead bird to be rolled into it. The dead
penguin is then buried by packing the ice back in the hole. The final phase of the burial ceremony occurs
when the male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and
sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."

John Smith lived in Staten Island, New York and worked in Manhattan. He had to take the ferryboat home every night. One evening, he got down to the ferry and found there was a wait for the next boat, so John decided to stop at a nearby tavern. Before long he was feeling no pain. When he got back to the ferry slip, the ferryboat was just eight feet from the dock. Smith, afraid of missing this one and being late for dinner, took a running leap and landed right on the deck of the boat.
"How did you like that jump, buddy?" said a proud John to a deck hand.
"It was great," said the sailor. "But why didn't you wait? We were just pulling in!"

A young female clerk, with a penchant for
wearing very short skirts, was hired by the owner of a small general store. One
day, a young man entered the store and glanced at the loaves of bread behind
the counter.
"I'd
like some raisin bread, please," he said to the clerk.
She
climbed up a ladder to reach the raisin bread which was located on the
uppermost shelf, providing the man standing beneath her with an excellent view.
As
she retrieved the bread, a small group of male customers had gathered around
the young man, and all were looking in the same direction. Pretty soon, each
one of them was asking for raisin bread, just so they could see the clerk climb
up and down the ladder.
After
several trips, the clerk had become tired and irritated. Stopping and fuming at
the top of the ladder, she glared down at the men below and noticed an elderly
man standing among them.
"Do
you want a loaf of raisin bread too?" she yelled.
"No,”
the old man croaked.
So
the young lady descended the ladder and asked the elderly man what he wanted.
He
responded, “I’d like two loaves of raisin bread please.”

A nun, badly needing
to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters restaurant.
The place was hopping
with music and loud conversation and every once in a while the lights would
turn off. Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.
However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.
She walked up to the
bartender, and asked, "May I please use the restroom?"
The bartender replied,
"OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there
wearing only a fig leaf."
"Well, in that
case, I'll just look the other way," said the nun.
So, the bartender
showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.
After a few minutes,
she came back out, and the whole place stopped just long enough to give the nun
a loud round of applause.
She went to the
bartender and said, "Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me
just because I went to the restroom?"
"Well, now they
know you're one of us," said the bartender. "Would you like a
drink?"
"But, I still
don't understand," said the puzzled nun.
"You see,"
laughed the bartender, "every time someone lifts the fig leaf on the
statue, the lights go out.”

While making his
rounds with a group of medical students, the doctor draws their attention to an
x-ray.
"As is clearly
visible on the x-ray, the patient limps because her right fibula and tibia are
radically arched. Simon, what would you do in a case like this?"
"Well sir,"
says Simon, pondering the question, "I guess I'd limp too."

Finally, Jack had made it to the last round of
the $5,000,000 Question. The night prior to the big question, he advised the
show's host that he desired a question in American History.
When
the big night arrived, Jack made his way on stage in front of the studio and TV
audience. He was the best guest the show had ever seen and had become the talk
of the town. The host stepped up to the mic.
"Jack,
for your final question you have chosen American History. If you answer this
question correctly, you will walk away $5,000,000 richer. Are you ready?"
Jack
nodded with a cocky confidence and the crowd went wild. He hadn't missed a
question all week.
"Jack,
your American History question is a two-part question. As you are already
aware, you may answer either part first. As a rule, the second half of the
question is always easier. Which part would you prefer to take a stab at
first?" said the host.
Jack
was now becoming more noticeably nervous. He couldn't believe it, but he seemed
to be drawing a blank. American History was his easiest subject, but he thought
he'd better play it safe. "I'll try the easiest part first," he said.
The
host nodded approvingly. "OK, Jack, here we go. I'll ask you the second
half first, then the first half."
The
audience held their breath with gross anticipation ...
"Jack,
here is your question: And in what year did it happen?"

The Wolf Man comes home one day from a long day
at the office.
"How
was work, dear? " his wife asks.
"Listen!
I don't want to talk about work!" he shouts.
"Okay.
Would you like to sit down and eat a nice home cooked meal?" she asks
nicely.
"Listen!"
he shouts again. "I'm not hungry! I don't wanna eat! All right! Is that
all right with you? Can I come home from work and just do my own thing without
you forcing food down my throat? Huh?"
At
this moment, the wolf man started growling, and throwing things around the
apartment in a mad rage. Looking out the window, his wife sees a full moon and
says to herself, "OH! I guess it’s
that time of the month again."

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the
woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they
couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the
husband offered to donate some of his own skin.
However,
the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come
from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one
about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their
secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After
the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty.
She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and
relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she was alone
with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said,
"Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I
possibly repay you?"
"My
darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see
your mother kiss you on the cheek."

A woman called her husband during the day and asked him to pick up some organic
vegetables for that night's dinner on his way home.
The husband arrived at the store and began to search all over for organic
vegetables before finally asking the produce guy where they were.
The produce guy didn't know what he was talking about, so the husband said:
"These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been sprayed with poisonous
chemicals?"
To which the produce guy replied, "No, sir, you’ll have to do that
yourself."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once there was a beautiful woman who loved to work in her organic vegetable
garden, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get her organic tomatoes to
ripen.
Admiring her neighbor's garden, which had beautiful bright red organic
tomatoes, she went one day and inquired of him his secret.
"It's really quite simple," the old man explained. "Twice each
day, in the morning and in the evening, I expose myself in front of the
tomatoes and they turn red with embarrassment."
Desperate for the perfect organic garden, she tried his advice and proceeded to
expose herself to her plants twice daily.
Two weeks passed and her neighbor stopped by to check her progress.
"So," he asked, "any luck with your tomatoes?"
"No," she replied excitedly... "but you should see the size of
my cucumbers!"

I’ll be away for a few weeks.

Murgatroyd,
remember that word? Would you believe the email spell checker did not recognize
the word Murgatroyd?
Lost Words from our childhood: Words gone as fast as the buggy whip! Sad
really!
The other day a not so elderly lady said something to her son about driving a
Jalopy and he looked at her quizzically and said “What the heck is a
Jalopy?"
He never heard of the word jalopy! She knew she was old.... but not that
old.
Well, I hope you are Hunky Dory after you read this and
chuckle.
About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become obsolete
because of the inexorable march of technology.
These phrases included "Don't touch that dial," "Carbon copy," "You sound like a
broken record" and "Hung out to dry."
Back in the olden days we had a lot of 'moxie.' We’d put on our best 'bib and
tucker' to 'straighten up and fly right'.
Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumping Jehoshaphat! Holy
moley!
We were 'in like Flynn' and 'living the life of Riley'.
Even a regular guy couldn't accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a
pill. Not for all the tea in China!
Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when's the last time anything
was swell?
Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A.… of spats, knickers,
fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, penny loafers, and pedal pushers… AND
DON’T FORGET… Saddle Stitched Pants
Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here, but he isn't
anymore.
We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say,
Well, I'll be 'a monkey's uncle!'
Or, This is a 'fine kettle of fish'!
We discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent,
as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens
and our keyboards.
Poof, go the words of our youth, the words we've left
behind
We blink, and they're gone. Where have all those great phrases
gone?
Long gone: Pshaw, The milkman did it. Hey! It's your
nickel..
Don't forget to pull the chain. Knee high to a grasshopper. Well, Fiddlesticks!
Going like sixty.
I'll see you in the funny papers. Don't take any wooden nickels. Wake up and
smell the roses.
It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has
liver pills.
This can be disturbing stuff! ("Carter's Little Liver Pills" are gone
too!)
We of a certain age have been blessed to live in changeable times. For a child
each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age. We at the other end of
the chronological arc have the advantage of remembering there are words that
once existed… and there were words that once strutted their hour upon the
earthly stage and now are heard no more, except in our collective
memory.
It's one of the greatest advantages of aging.
Leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone
booth…
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE FABULOUS 50'S.
NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN…
WE WERE GIVEN ONE OF OUR MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS:
OUR MEMORIES, until we age out of
them!!

for the Miami Herald. Colonoscopy. Journal: I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to
make an appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color
diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at
one point passing briefly through Minneapolis. Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a
thorough, reassuring and patient manner. I nodded thoughtfully, but I didn't really hear anything
he said, because my brain was shrieking, 'HE'S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET
UP YOUR BEHIND!' I left Andy's
office with some written instructions, and a prescription for a product called
'MoviPrep,' which comes in a box large enough to hold a microwave oven. I will
discuss MoviPrep in detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never
allow it to fall into the hands of America 's enemies. I spent the next several days productively sitting
around being nervous. Then, on the
day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my
instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth,
which is basically water, only with less flavor. Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two
packets of powder together in a one-litre plastic jug, then you fill it with
lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a litre is about
32 gallons). Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour,
because MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat spit
and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon. The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by
somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, 'a loose,
watery bowel movement may result.' This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your
roof, you may experience contact with the ground. MoviPrep is a
nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here, but, have you ever seen
a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as
the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You
spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently.
You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty,
you have to drink another litre of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can
tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you
have not even eaten yet. After an
action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep. The next morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was
very nervous. Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been
experiencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, 'What
if I spurt on Andy?' How do you apologize to a friend for something like that?
Flowers would not be enough. At the
clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood and totally
agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they led me to a room full of
other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little curtained space and took
off my clothes and put on one of those hospital garments designed by sadist
perverts, the kind that, when you put it on, makes you feel even more naked than
when you are actually naked. Then a
nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left hand. Ordinarily I
would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I was already lying down. Eddie
also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep.
At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this,
but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it
to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode. You would
have no choice but to burn your house. When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the
procedure room, where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I
did not see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there
somewhere. I was seriously nervous at this point. Andy had me roll
over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something up to the
needle in my hand. There was music
playing in the room, and I realized that the song was 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA. I
remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this
particular procedure, 'Dancing Queen' had to be the least
appropriate. 'You want me to turn
it up?' said Andy, from somewhere behind me... 'Ha ha,' I said. And then it was time, the moment I had
been dreading for more than a decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself,
because I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was
like. I have no idea. Really. I
slept through it. One moment, ABBA was yelling 'Dancing Queen, feel the beat of
the tambourine,' and the next moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in
a very mellow mood. Andy was looking
down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt excellent. I felt even more
excellent when Andy told me that It was all over, and that my colon had passed
with flying colors. I have never been prouder of an internal
organ.
On the subject of Colonoscopies...
Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the
exam were quite humorous. A physician claimed that the following are actual
comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their
colonoscopies: 1. Take it easy Doc.
You're boldly going where no man has gone before. 2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?' 3. 'Can you hear me NOW?' 4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there
yet?' 5 'You know, in Arkansas,
we're now legally married.' 6. 'Any
sign of the trapped miners, Chief?' 7. 'You put your left hand in, you take your left hand
out...' 8. 'Hey! Now I know how a
Muppet feels!' 9. 'If your hand
doesn't fit, you must quit!' 10.
'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.' 11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't
you?' 12. 'God, now I know why I am
not gay' And the best one of
all:
13. 'Could you write a note for my wife saying that my
head is not up there?'

APHORISM:
“A
SHORT, POINTED SENTENCE THAT EXPRESSES A WISE OR CLEVER
OBSERVATION OR A GENERAL TRUTH.”
1.
The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
2.
Money will buy a fine dog but only kindness will make him wag his
tail.
3. If you don't have a sense of humour you probably don't have any
sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as
wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in
deep water. 6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is
afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all
night?
7. Business conferences are important because they demonstrate how
many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at school
reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Stroke a cat and
you will have a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than
the teenage boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the
old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than
getting a call for a wrong number at 4 am; for example, it could be the right
number.
13.
No one ever says "It's only a game" when their team is winning.
14 I've
reached the age where 'happy hour' is a nap.
15. Be careful about reading
the fine print, there's no way you're going to like it.
16. The trouble
with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do
you realize that, in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running
around with tattoos?
18. Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more
comfortable to cry in a Jaguar than in a Ford.
19. After 60 if you don't
wake up aching in every joint, you're probably dead.
20. Always be
yourself because the people that matter don't mind and the ones that mind don't
matter.
21. Life isn't tied with a bow but it's still a
gift.
And
remember: "Politicians and nappies should be changed often ... and for the same
reason"

I
think I might have screwed up. Several of us local retired pilots were asked to
address a junior high gathering put on by the PTA. I was the only speaker to
show up, so I had the stage to myself. I talked about staying in school, getting
good grades and all that usual bull$hit; and since I had plenty of time because
those other guys didn't show, I threw it open for
questions.
The
last one asked was, "Can you give us a couple of your life's philosophical
beliefs?”
I
said, “That's an easy one. Looking back over my almost 7 decades, I believe I've
spent close to 90% of my earnings on booze and whores. The rest I just
wasted."
I
was escorted out without getting to finish my last two rules to live
by:
1)
If it flies, floats, or screws, it's cheaper to rent
it.
2)
If it's got boobs or tires, you're gonna have problems with
it.
I
hope they invite me back next year so I can
finish.
They
need to know this
stuff!

God was
missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on
the seventh day.
He
inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply
and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look,
Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael
looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet,"
replied God, and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going
to be a place to test Balance."
"Balance?"
inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."
God explained,
pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a
place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be
poor. Over
here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of
black people. Balance in all things."
God continued
pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one
will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel,
impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that
one?"
"That's Texas,
the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and
streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from Texas are going to
be handsome, modest, intelligent, humorous, but proud and they are going to
travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving,
carriers of peace, and producers of good
things."
Michael gasped in
wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said
there would be balance."
God smiled, "I
will create Washington, DC. Wait till you see the fools I put
there."

Two young businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a
break in their soon-to-be
new store in the shopping mall. As yet, the store's merchandise wasn't
in -- only a few shelves and display racks set up.
One said to the other, "I'll
bet that any minute now some old senior is going to walk by, put his face to
the window, and ask what we're selling."
Sure enough, just a moment later,
a curious senior gentleman walked up to the window, looked around
intensely and rapped on the glass, then in a loud voice asked, What are you
selling here?"
One of the men replied
sarcastically, "We're selling a$$-holes."
Without skipping a beat, the old
timer said, "You must be doing well…only two left."

A little boy opened the large old family Bible, and he looked
with fascination at the ancient pages as he turned them one by one.
He was still in Genesis when something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up
and looked at it closely. It was a very large old tree leaf that had been
pressed between the pages of the Bible long ago."Momma, look what I
found!" the boy called out.
"What do you have there?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in his voice, the young boy answered, "I think it's
Adam's underwear!"

A little girl was in church
with her mother when she started feeling ill.
"Mommy," she said,
"can we leave now?"
"No," her mother
replied.
"Well, I think I have to
throw up!" exclaimed the girl.
"Then go out the front
door and around to the back of the church and throw up behind a bush,"
said her mother.
After about sixty seconds, the
little girl returned to her seat.
"Did you throw up?"
her mother asked.
"Yes," the little
girl replied.
"How could you have gone
all the way to the back of the church and returned so quickly?" her mother
asked.
"I didn't have to go out
of the church, Mommy. They have a box next to the front door that says, 'For
the Sick’."

On the sixth day, God created the platypus. And God said: Let's see the evolutionists try and figure this one out.
