March was when our son celebrated his 17th birthday and we got him an iPhone. He just loved  it.  Who wouldn't?   
I celebrated my  birthday in July and my wife made me very happy when  she bought me an iPad. 

Our daughter's  birthday was in August so we got her an iPod Touch.

My wife celebrated her birthday in September so I got her an iRon.

2011/tempb..jpg

It was around then that the fight started...
 
What my wife failed to recognize is that the iRon can be integrated into the home network  with the iWash, iCook and iClean   

This inevitably activates the iNag reminder  service.
 
 I should be out of the hospital next  week!!

The Pilot and the Priest

A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.
Saint Peter addresses this cool guy,  'Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven ?
'
The guy replies, 'I'm Jack, retired airline pilot from Houston.' Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the pilot,
'Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.' The pilot goes into Heaven with his robe and staff.
Next, it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, 'I am Father Bob, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last 43 years.
'
Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest, 'Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom.
'Just a minute,' says the good father. 'That man was a pilot and he gets a silken robe and golden staff and I get only cotton and wood. How can this be?

'Up here - we go by results,' says Saint Peter. 'When you preached - people slept. When he flew, people prayed.'!

One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, "I'm not going." "Why not?" she asked.  I'll give you two good reasons," he said. "(1), they don't like me, and (2), I don't like them."  His mother replied, "I'll give YOU two good reasons why YOU SHOULD go to church.  (1) You're 59 years old, and (2) you're the pastor!"

The Picnic ~~~
 
A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter.  "This baked ham is really delicious," the priest teased the rabbi. "You really ought to try it. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've tried Mrs. Hall's prized Virginia Baked Ham. Tell me, Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?"

The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, "At your wedding."

The Usher ~~~

An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps,  "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely. "The front row please," she answered."You really don't want to do that," the usher said "The pastor is really boring." "Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired.
"No." he said.  "I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly. "Do you know who I am?" he asked. "No." she said. "Good," he answered.

Show and Tell ~~~

A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment.  Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion. The first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David.." The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic and this is a Rosary."

The third student got in up front of the class and said, "My name is Tommy. I am Methodist, and this is a casserole."

The Best Way To Pray ~~~
A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby.  "Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray," the priest said.  "No," said the minister. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven."     "You're both wrong," the guru said. "The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor."

 The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey, fellas," he interrupted. "The best prayin' I ever did was when I was hangin'  upside down from a telephone pole."

The Twenty and the One ~~~

A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along
the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.  The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.

"I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean "

"Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"  "So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"  The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church , the Lutheran Church ."

The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

Goat for Dinner ~~~

The young couple invited their elderly pastor for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having. "Goat," the little boy replied. "Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"

"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner." 

Lord, keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth !!!   AMEN.

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash.  Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file. The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. "Whose funeral is it?""My wife's."''What happened to her?"The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her." He inquired further, "But who is in the second hearse?" The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her." 
A very poignant and touching moment, of brotherhood and silence, passed between the two men. "Can I borrow the dog?"
The man replied, "Get in line."

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her  mother, 'Why is the bride dressed in white?" The mother replied, 'Because white is the color of happiness, and today is  the happiest day of her life.'  The child thought about this for a moment then said, 'So why is the groom  wearing black?'

 Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first  boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a  poem, they give him $50.'  The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on piece  of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.'  The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a  piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect  all the money!'

 An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no  male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service,  she wrote, 'They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them  to take me out when I'm dead.'

 A police recruit was asked during the exam, 'What would you do if you had  to arrest your own mother?' He answered, 'Call for backup.'

 A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with  them to
Jerusalem
. A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a  baby-sitter.'

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five  and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'Honor thy father  and thy mother,' she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to  treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat, one little boy  answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including  human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how  Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.  Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill,  and she said, ' Johnny, what is the matter?' Little Johnny responded, 'I  have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.'

"How did the human race appear?" The mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made."

Two days later

She asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race was developed."

The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "mom, how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and dad says they were developed from monkeys?"

The mother answered, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family and your father told you about his side.

What Do Retired People Do All Day?

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
   Well, for example, the other day Margaret and I went into town and went into a shop.  We were only in there for about 5 minutes.  When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?' 
  
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.  I called him a ???? turd. He glared at me and began writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.  So Margaret called him a........ . He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.  Then he started writing a third ticket.  This went on for about 20 minutes.  The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
  
Personally, we didn't care. We'd come into town by bus.  We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.  It's important at our age.
