Greetings workers of the world! As you know, I just re-send the best joke(s) I get from the emails I gather from people all over the world. Then I add my own original drawings (which I create on the spot as I put this email together) to give it a personal touch. Most of the time I create this a few hours before Thursday midnight so if you catch a few typos, please forgive my tired mind and fingers. If this is your first time to receive this, welcome to a new and (hopefully) entertaining addiction.

Happy 4th of July weekend America! It's about time we had something to celebrate as a nation. One of our TGIF family, Tom of Pasadena is going to be singing the Star Spangled Banner in a park celebration. Didn't know there was so much talent among you. Anyone else going to celebrate July 4, in a special way please let me know.

Thanks to this week's winners: Katinka of Quezon City, Lorraine of Pasadena, Bobby of Quezon City, Mike of New York, Debbie of Temple City, Sue Ann and Naomi of Burbank and Wally of Moreno Valley.

Have a safe and fun time this weekend America!

Body Language
sent by Lorraine of Pasadena, CA

They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all tha communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said "Listen Fatty ... DO IT and DIE!"

Irish Labrador

Paddy tells Mick he's thinking of buying a labrador.

"Don`t be so bloody stupid " says Mick,
"Have you seen how many of their owners go blind?"

Totally irreverent. This comedian pokes fun at some Catholic beliefs. I thought it had its moments but I definitely squirmed at some parts. I contemplated whether this was too radical but I'll leave you guys to decide. Don't watch if you're the sensitve kind. This could really offend some of you. For me it made me think about my childhood ... in an odd sort of way.

If you ever get stranded in an island with an unopened wine bottle without a wine opener, look down. If you've still got your shoes on, you are saved!

Watch the video and learn the French way of opening that darn bottle. If anyone tries it, please let me know if it works. Hard to believe.

Naomi sent this last February, I've kept this video thinking it was an interesting concept that would probably take years to actually come to fruition.

Then Wally sent the video below and I was amazed. The same company, WHOR, actually did it. I also noticed the original concept started in Madrid but the actual project wound up in Budapest.

After you've watched the video above you'll be simply amazed how a concept wound its way to the real world. It must be such a feeling of accomplishment to the engineers, architects and city planners to see this actually being used.

Hey, if anyone knows a good Patent Lawyer, I've got a few ideas of my own.
