Thought For Today:Television will never be satisfactory to the viewer until
we can turn off the set with a click that will be heard in the sponsor's office.

Silver in the Hair

Gold in the Teeth.
Stones in the Kidneys
Sugar in the Blood.
Lead in the Feet.
Iron in the arteries.

And an inexhaustible supply
 of Natural Gas.

We never thought we could
accumulate such wealth !!
It's no wonderThey want death panels,I'm worth
much more dead than alive

"Little Johnnie"

Little Johnnie was sitting in his grandmother's kitchen,
watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.

"What are you doing?" Little Johnnie asked.

"Oh, I'm just stuffing the turkey," his grandmother replied.

"That's cool!" Little Johnnie said.
"Are you going to hang it next to the deer?"

To save the economy in 2010,The Obama government will start Deporting
all of the weird old people in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.
I started crying when I thought of you.
RUN, OLD BUDDY, RUN!!!!!

For her surgery to fuse some vertebrae in her neck, my niece planned ahead.
She knew she would have to wear a brace with four steel rods screwed into
her skull and attached to a rigid upper- body cast during her recovery, so
she brought to the hospital several sweatshirts that were cut to fit over
these appliances. On her first trip out of her hospital room, she ventured
to the cafeteria wearing a shirt bearing the message, "I'd lose my head it
is wasn't screwed on"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mother and I sat at the kitchen table eating peanuts one after another.
Finally I said: "Mom, you’d better stop eating these. They’re fattening."
My mother thought about this for a moment, then smiled. "I don’t have to
worry," she said. "None of my clothes fit anyway."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My daughter was out in the kitchen with my two grandsons
after just finishing lunch and the salt and pepper shakers
were still on the table.
The five-year-old got the Play-Doh out and he and his three-year- old
brother were making things with it.
The five-year-old decided he would make a dog out of the Play- Doh.
His mother said that would be nice and told him to do the best he
could. A short time later she heard him proudly proclaiming, "Great!
I can even use pepper for the fleas!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A hard boiled egg is hard to beat.

Sometimes things can disappear without you even
knowing they’re gone. Take for instance, windshield
wiper blades. This past Saturday while driving down
a particularly dusty road, I decided to flick on my
windshield washer. One momentary squirt of washer
fluid sputtered onto the windshield as the reservoir
was emptied. Then the wiper blades scraped across
the gritty surface in a stuttering kind of gesture that
left several pieces of shredded rubber-material in its
wake. This was immediately followed by a screeching
sound of metal-against-glass that was not at all unlike
the goose bump shriek of fingernails scraping across a
blackboard. I turned off the window washer, keeping
my eyes peeled for the next gas station. After a while,
I spied a yellow Shell sign and turned into its parking
lot. "I need wiper blades for a 1991 Ford Explorer,
please," I announced to the cashier, who stared back
at me over a steaming coffee machine. "Don’t sell 'em
any more," the woman said as another customer placed
a large package of toilet paper and a case of Coors
Light on the counter.

Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala Carte Air, Sir. May I see your ticket?

Passenger: Sure.

Attendant: You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, Please!

Passenger: What for?

Attendant: For telling you where to 'Sit'.

Passenger: But I already knew where to sit.

Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat locator fee of
$5. It's the Airline's new Policy.

Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it.

Attendant: Sir, Do you want a seat on this flight, or not ?

Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going
to
hear about this.

Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, Your carry-on bag looks heavy.
Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you?

Passenger: That would be Swell, Thanks.

Attendant: No problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, Please.

Passenger: What ?

Attendant: The Airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee.

Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it.

Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to sit,
And fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate.
But, first I need that $10.

Passenger: ' No Way ! '

Attendant: Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call the
Air
Marshal. And you really don't want me to do that.

Passenger: Why Not? Is he going to 'Shoot me'?

Attendant: No, But there's a $50 Air-Marshal hailing fee.

Passenger: Oh, all right, here, take the $10. I can't believe this.

Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything
else I can do for you?

Passenger: Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't
seem
to work. Can you fix it?

Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, Sir. Just insert two
quarters into the Overhead coin slot for the First Five minutes.

Passenger: The Airline is charging me for Cabin air?

Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free
of
charge. It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents.

Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a
dollar?

Attendant: Certainly, Sir! Here you go!

Passenger: But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar.

Attendant: Yes, there's a 'change making fee' of 25 cents.

Passenger: For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter ?
What the heck can I do with this ?

Attendant: Hang onto it. You'll need it later for the wash room.

SO, I STAYED

Just Stay

A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.

'Your son is here,' she said to the old man.

She had to repeat the words several times before the

Patient's' eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack,

He dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside

The oxygen tent. He

Reached out his hand.

The Marine wrapped his

Toughened fingers around the old man's

Limp ones, squeezing a

Message of

Love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so

That the Marine could sit

Beside the bed.

All through the night the

Young Marine sat there

In the poorly lighted ward,

Holding the old man's hand

And offering

Him words of love and strength

Occasionally, the nurse

Suggested that the Marine

Move away and rest awhile.

He refused.

Whenever the nurse came

Into the ward, the Marine was

Oblivious of her

And of the night noises

Of the hospital the clanking of the

Oxygen tank, the laughter of the

Night staff members exchanging greetings,

The cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The

Dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all

Through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released

The now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell

The nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned.

She started to offer words

Of sympathy, but the Marine

Interrupted her.

'Who was that man?' he

Asked. The nurse was startled,

'He was your father,'

She answered. 'No, he

Wasn't,' the Marine replied.

'I never saw him before in my life.'

'Then why didn't you say something when I took you

To him?'

'I knew right away there had been a mistake,

But I also knew he needed his son, and his

Son just wasn't here.

When I realized that he was too sick to tell

Whether or not I was his son,

Knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.'

The next time someone needs you ... Just be there..

Stay.

SO, I STAYED

New old Hank Williams music sees light of day
Friday, October 9, 2009 – Unreleased recordings of Hank Williams on Mother's Best radio shows from 1951 will be out Nov. 3. "Revealed: Unreleased Recordings" will offer 50 new tracks of songs and conversation between Williams and the emcee of the show as well as his band. The new three-box set follows "Unreleased Recordings," which came out last year.
"To me, this is even more exciting than the first set because you get to hear my daddy talk and you get a sense of him, not just as an entertainer, but as a person," said Jett Williams. "That's why we called it 'Revealed.' The song selection is as strong as the first volume, but this time we've done three thematic CDs."

Songs include Cold, Cold, Heart in the song's first public performance. Each show is presented in its entirety. The performances were recorded on acetates, meant to be played only once. The discs were shelved and eventually thrown away. An employee of Nashville radio station WSM noticed them in the trash and took them home. They were eventually given to Jett, who fought an eight-year battle to establish ownership of the music, eventually winning the right to release the recordings.

Is the reason we call it "cold cash" because it's never in
my pocket long enough to get warm?

Last Call Y'ALL

"Doc, I bought a six-acre farm," Mr Foofnik told his analyst. "It's beautiful.
Absolutely the last word. I have an acre of peach trees, then an empty
acre. An acre of cherry trees, then an empty acre. And an acre of plum
trees then an empty acre."
"What's the idea?"
"I gotta have some place to throw the pits."

Yes folks, Youcan still buy GREAT COUNTRY
MUSIC at The Ernest Tubb Record Shops I'll get the Funnies out to you as soon as I can.Using the
CPAP six hours a night ,going to physical therapy,and filling out a bunch
papers for Medicare and the lawsuit,has left me very short on time.However
it will get better,I promise.........Jim 
Thought For Today:Television will
never be satisfactory to the viewer until we can turn off the set with a
click that will be heard in the sponsor's
office. Silver in the
Hair Gold in the
Teeth. Stones in the Kidneys Sugar in
the Blood. Lead in the Feet.
 Iron in the arteries.
And an inexhaustible supply
 of Natural
Gas. We never thought we could accumulate such wealth !!
 It's no wonderThey want death panels,I'm worth much more dead than
alive ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Little Johnnie" Little Johnnie was
sitting in his grandmother's kitchen, watching her prepare the Thanksgiving
meal. "What are you doing?" Little Johnnie asked. "Oh,
I'm just stuffing the turkey," his grandmother replied. "That's
cool!" Little Johnnie said. "Are you going to hang it next to the
deer?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
<DIV>To save the economy in 2010,The Obama government will start Deporting
 all of the weird old people in order to lower Social Security and Medicare
costs.</DIV>
<DIV> I started crying when I thought of you. RUN, OLD BUDDY,
RUN!!!!!</DIV>
<DIV> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</DIV>
<DIV> For her surgery to fuse some vertebrae in her neck, my niece planned
ahead. She knew she would have to wear a brace with four steel rods screwed
into her skull and attached to a rigid upper- body cast during her recovery,
so she brought to the hospital several sweatshirts that were cut to fit
over these appliances. On her first trip out of her hospital room, she
ventured to the cafeteria wearing a shirt bearing the message, "I'd lose my
head it is wasn't screwed on" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My mother
and I sat at the kitchen table eating peanuts one after another. Finally I
said: "Mom, you’d better stop eating these. They’re fattening." My mother
thought about this for a moment, then smiled. "I don’t have to worry," she
said. "None of my clothes fit anyway." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My
daughter was out in the kitchen with my two grandsons after just finishing
lunch and the salt and pepper shakers were still on the table. The
five-year-old got the Play-Doh out and he and his three-year- old brother
were making things with it. The five-year-old decided he would make a dog out
of the Play- Doh. His mother said that would be nice and told him to do the
best he could. A short time later she heard him proudly proclaiming, "Great!
 I can even use pepper for the fleas!"
<DIV>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</DIV>
<DIV>A hard boiled egg is hard to beat.</DIV>
<DIV>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</DIV>
<DIV> Sometimes things can disappear without you even knowing they’re
gone. Take for instance, windshield wiper blades. This past Saturday
while driving down a particularly dusty road, I decided to flick on my
 windshield washer. One momentary squirt of washer fluid sputtered onto
the windshield as the reservoir was emptied. Then the wiper blades
scraped across the gritty surface in a stuttering kind of gesture that
 left several pieces of shredded rubber-material in its wake. This was
immediately followed by a screeching sound of metal-against-glass that was
not at all unlike the goose bump shriek of fingernails scraping across a
 blackboard. I turned off the window washer, keeping my eyes peeled
for the next gas station. After a while, I spied a yellow Shell sign and
turned into its parking lot. "I need wiper blades for a 1991 Ford Explorer,
 please," I announced to the cashier, who stared back at me over a
steaming coffee machine. "Don’t sell 'em any more," the woman said as
another customer placed a large package of toilet paper and a case of Coors
 Light on the counter. </DIV>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala
Carte Air, Sir. May I see your ticket? Passenger: Sure. Attendant:
You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, Please! Passenger: What
for? Attendant: For telling you where to 'Sit'. Passenger: But I
already knew where to sit. Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a
seat locator fee of $5. It's the Airline's new Policy. Passenger:
That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it. Attendant: Sir,
Do you want a seat on this flight, or not ? Passenger: Yes, yes. All
right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about
this. Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, Your carry-on bag looks
heavy. Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for
you? Passenger: That would be Swell, Thanks. Attendant: No
problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, Please. Passenger: What
? Attendant: The Airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance
fee. Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for
it. Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to
sit, And fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the
gate. But, first I need that $10. Passenger: ' No Way !
' Attendant: Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call
the Air Marshal. And you really don't want me to do
that. Passenger: Why Not? Is he going to 'Shoot me'? Attendant:
No, But there's a $50 Air-Marshal hailing fee. Passenger: Oh, all right,
here, take the $10. I can't believe this. Attendant: Thank you for your
cooperation, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you? Passenger:
Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work. Can
you fix it? Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, Sir. Just insert
two quarters into the Overhead coin slot for the First Five
minutes. Passenger: The Airline is charging me for Cabin
air? Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided
free of charge. It's the circulating air that costs 50
cents. Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for
a dollar? Attendant: Certainly, Sir! Here you go! Passenger:
But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar. Attendant: Yes,
there's a 'change making fee' of 25 cents. Passenger: For cryin' out
loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter ? What the heck can I do with this
? Attendant: Hang onto it. You'll need it later for the wash
room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </DIV>
SO, I STAYED

Just Stay 
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the
bedside.

'Your son is here,' she said to the old man.

She had to repeat the words several times before
the
Patient's' eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart
attack,

He dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing
outside

The oxygen tent. He
Reached out his hand. 
The Marine wrapped his
Toughened fingers around the old man's 
Limp ones, squeezing a
Message of
Love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so
That the Marine could sit 
Beside the bed.

All through the night the 
Young Marine sat there

In the poorly lighted ward, 
Holding the old man's hand 
And offering
Him words of love and strength 
Occasionally, the nurse

Suggested that the Marine 
Move away and rest awhile. 
He refused. 
Whenever the nurse came

Into the ward, the Marine was
Oblivious of her 
And of the night noises

Of the hospital the clanking of the
Oxygen tank, the laughter of the
Night staff members exchanging greetings, 
The cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words.
The
Dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son
all
Through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine
released
The now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to
tell
The nurse. While she did what she had to do, he
waited.

Finally, she returned. 
She started to offer words 
Of sympathy, but the Marine
Interrupted her.

'Who was that man?' he
Asked. The nurse was startled, 
'He was your father,' 
She answered. 'No, he
Wasn't,' the Marine replied. 
'I never saw him before in my life.'

'Then why didn't you say something when I took
you
To him?'

'I knew right away there had been a mistake,
But I also knew he needed his son, and his 
Son just wasn't here. 
When I realized that he was too sick to tell 
Whether or not I was his son, 
Knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.'

The next time someone needs you ... Just be
there..
Stay. 
SO, I STAYED ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New old Hank Williams music sees light of
day Friday, October 9, 2009 – Unreleased recordings of Hank Williams on
Mother's Best radio shows from 1951 will be out Nov. 3. "Revealed: Unreleased
Recordings" will offer 50 new tracks of songs and conversation between Williams
and the emcee of the show as well as his band. The new three-box set follows
"Unreleased Recordings," which came out last year. "To me, this is even more
exciting than the first set because you get to hear my daddy talk and you get a
sense of him, not just as an entertainer, but as a person," said Jett Williams.
"That's why we called it 'Revealed.' The song selection is as strong as the
first volume, but this time we've done three thematic CDs." 
Songs include Cold, Cold, Heart in the song's first
public performance. Each show is presented in its entirety. The performances
were recorded on acetates, meant to be played only once. The discs were shelved
and eventually thrown away. An employee of Nashville radio station WSM noticed
them in the trash and took them home. They were eventually given to Jett, who
fought an eight-year battle to establish ownership of the music, eventually
winning the right to release the recordings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Swift
extends tour to 2010 Thursday, October 8, 2009 – Taylor Swift, who this
weekend will play the final four shows of her groundbreaking, sold-out Fearless
