Geography of a Woman

~ Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful, with fertile soil.

~ Between 23 and 30, a woman is like America, well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.

~ Between 31 and 35, a woman is like India, very hot, relaxed and confident of her own beauty.

~ Between 36 and 40, a woman is like France, gently aging, but still warm and a desirable place to visit.

~ Between 41 and 50, a woman is like England, mature and with a glorious and all conquering past.

~ Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Yugoslavia, lost some wars, won some great battles, but haunted by past mistakes. She is still very strong and proud

~ Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Russia, very wide and her borders are now largely un-patrolled.

~ After 70, she becomes Tibet, off the beaten path, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages…still desirable, but only those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge and true love dare visit there.

GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN….

~ Between 2 and 78, a man is like Iran: Ruled by a prick.

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto, the blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. You can avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat just by using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use an egg timer.

5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you will be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget all about the toothache.

8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:
In life, you only need two tools – WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn’t move but should, use the WD-40.
If it should not move and does, use the duct tape.

9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

Thought for the Day:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES ….. THEY ARE NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING … BUT THEY STILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.

I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress, so no one has to guess
what’s underneath. I want to walk down
the street past Thrifty’s and the hardware store
with all those keys glittering in the window,
past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old
donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers
slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly,
hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders.
I want to walk like I’m the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want. When I find it, I’ll pull that garment
from its hanger like I’m choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I’ll wear it like bones, like skin,
it’ll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.

From Tell Me by Kim Addonizio.

Stolen from The Princess Poet, Thank you!

Don’t look up.
Don’t look up.
The screams were louder and coming from different parts of the room.
Don’t look up he told himself one last time.
Whack! scream.
He had to look.
Whack! scream.
He was now the victim of cubicle whack-a-mole.

;o)

Thank you, Uncle Monkey
