Yahoo! News - Indian officials red-faced after Clinton's Taj Mahal bus breaks down: "Offbeat - AFP

Indian officials red-faced after Clinton's Taj Mahal bus breaks down



AGRA, India (AFP) - Embarrassed Indian authorities ordered an inquiry after a special environmentally friendly bus broke down as it brought former US president Bill Clinton (news - web sites) back from the Taj Mahal.

Clinton was returning from the 17th century monument Saturday on a battery-operated bus meant for dignitaries when the steering stalled and the driver slammed on the brakes, officials said.
As the driver failed repeatedly to restart the bus and Indian officials tried to find alternative transportation, Clinton and his Secret Service agents got off and returned to his hotel on foot. "

The Hunter
It was a beautiful Texas Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully dressed in
camouflage.

Jake asks her: 'What are you up to?'
Alice smiles: 'I'm going hunting with you!'

Jake, though he had many reservations about this, reluctantly decides to take her along. Later they arrive at the hunting site. Jake sets his wife safely up in the tree stand and tells her: 'If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot'.

Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't
bag an elephant--much less a deer.

Not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an array of
gunshots. Quickly, Jake starts running back.

As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming: 'Get away from my deer!' Confused, Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he hears her yell: 'Get away from my deer!' followed by another volley of gunfire.

Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is surprised to
see a cowboy, with his hands high in the air.

The cowboy, obviously distraught, says: 'Okay, lady, okay!!!!
You can have your deer!!!

Just let me get my saddle off it!'"

This one I stole from Reader's Digest because it cracked me right up.
I'm working from memory here....


A little 2 year old boy swallows a magnet.....his mom is all upset...she rushes him to the doctor. The doc says, "This shouldn't be a problem, it should pass thru his system in a couple of days.". The mom is still worried and asks...."How can we be sure it's come out?" The doc says, " Well, I guess you can stick him to the refrigerator and when he falls off, you know it came out."

Do you know why they call it PMS?



Because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

.....my thanks to Johnny P. for this one.... :)





Adults only, please.

This struck me as pretty funny!

An Expose' of the 21st Century Truth...and thanks to Frank...I love it!...

WHY MEN DIE FIRST

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat
race, you're a male chauvinist.

If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy.

If you work too hard, there's never any time for her.

If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay.....this is exploitation.

If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your
lazy behind and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her.....that is favoritism.

If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.

If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you're a wimp.

If you don't cry, you're an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a Chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy……….that's domination.

If SHE asks you, it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you're a pervert.

If you don't, you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you're sexist.

If you don't, you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain.

If you don't, you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you're after something.

If you don't, you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements, you're full of yourself.

If you're not, you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she's tired.

If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often, you're oversexed.

If you don't, there must be someone else.


Men die first...................................because they want to!!

Quote for Today:
"If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning." ~ Aristotle Onassis

Have you ever noticed.......?
You see an awful lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

No Wonder Men Are Happier
(editorial comments are mine and were added because I wanted to)

What do you expect from such simple creatures!?

Your last name stays put.

Yeah but if we don't like it we don't get to marry out of it.

The garage is all yours.

No, it's community property, but in trade for getting to use it we get to clean it and do all the yardwork and auto maintenance. If you'd like to take over the associated work you can have the damn garage.


Wedding plans take care of themselves.
you can say that with a straight face? I was instrumental in planning mine and even more instrumental in paying for it all.


Chocolate is just another snack.
As is should be. It's toxic yaknow.

You can be president.
If all of you women would run a female candidate and all of you women would vote for her this wouldn't be the case, but you've never done that, have you?


You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.

So can you if you wear a bathing suit top under it...what's yer point?

You can wear NO T-shirt to a water park.
So can you if you live in the right place....and I promise you it's not men who push for laws to stop you....it's the women who don't wanna play let's compare breasts in public. Another vanity issue....see it only takes ONE woman with a spectacular body at the water park to make the rest of you feel insignificant. We men don't feel a need to compete and compare with EVERY OTHER MALE.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.
They'd tell you the truth too if you'd spent as much time when you were younger getting greasy hands and busted knuckles in order to add to your store of knowledge. It's the price you pay for not getting your hands dirty.

The world is your urinal.

yeah and we can also write our name in the snow...big deal....if you wanna pee outdoors we don't care. Go for it.

You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky.
Personally, I have done exactly that, but not often. If it was an ongoing problem for men, the gas stations would be cleaned up because we wouldn't toleate it. In this world you generally get just exactly what you are willing to put up with and no more.


You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.see busted knuckles and greasy hands, above. If you'd paid your dues you wouldn't have to think about that either.

Same work, more pay.
Can't argue this one...that's just not right.

Wrinkles add character.
They can on women too but ya'll are too busy having botulism injected (and that is what botox is for those of you who don't know) and trying like hell to hide your wrinkles instead of accepting them with some dignity to ever allow them to become something that adds character. To you they are flaws. All a matter of your outlook. I'd say our outlook is simpler and classier.


Wedding dress - $5000; tux rental - $100.
Considering that you are gonna wear it exactly once....um....who's the dummy here?

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.I'll give ya this one unless you're showing a good bit of cleavage. Then I'd have to say you get what you ask for.

The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.And how exactly do you stifle this natural bodily function? Are you blowing out the sidewalls of your stomach to keep from belching? Just curious.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
No, because we buy shoes that fit our feet and are designed for function first and looks second. Not our fault yer so damn vain that you do silly stuff.

One mood, ALL the time.
and this is a problem why?

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
that's 'cause you're expecting a call and want us off the phone.

You know stuff about tanks
yeah....we usually get our tank knowledge from being around them, which implies that people who don't like us sometimes get a free pass to shoot at us. I bet most guys with tank knowledge would be happy to surrender that knowledge if they didn't have to get shot at in the process of learning it.


A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
vanity is a big load in a lot of ways. Deal with it.

You can open all your own jars.
Drop a buck 99 for a jar opener and you can too, cheapskate. See..the reason why men like tools is 'cause we have to figure out how to do it for ourselves, and sometimes that requires a particular tool when we aren't capable of doing something with our bare hands. When you aren't capable of doing something with your bare hands, you generally just give it to us rather than invest in tools. We don't have the luxury of giving it to someone else to solve, so we like tools.

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
Funny how thoughtfulness somehow got to be a male responsibility and acknowledging and giving extra credit for same is the female job. When's the last time you bought a man a dozen roses, anyway?


If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Yeah, because we know that people are what's called "human" and they screw up sometimes.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
This is becasue the marketers know that we aren't gonna pay more than that for a square foot of material (in your case square inches) no matter if Vickie wants us to believe it covers a secret or not.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.Nope....Brown, Black, tennershoes, and you forgot boots. At least one pair of boots. 4 is plenty, though.

You almost never have strap problems in public.
No but we do have pinched testicle syndrome occasionally, which you clearly never fail to notice and claim that we are scratching ourselves. You adjust what you need to adjust and we'll adjust what we need to adjust and how about you just do with we do when you start the straps and tugging and just ignore the whole thing so we can all maintain a bit of dignity.


You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
No dear...we see them....we either don't give a damn about them or we fix them. Frequently it's the former.

Everything on your face stays its original color.
This is because we don't paint it some other color.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.Yup..sure does....this is because we know how to make a decision and stick with it.


You only have to shave your face and neck.
Wrongo...we don't even have to do that. I'm pushing 50 and I've never in my life told a woman what she has to shave. So why should I care about your shaving habits?

You can play with toys all your life.
I'm pretty sure none of us ever said you couldn't.

Your belly usually hides your big hips.
All too often yours does too, so kindly leave us alone and worry about why that dress DOES make you look fat rather than bug us.

One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons.Sounds like the smart way to go to me. When we retire we can probably take an around the world cruise with what we saved on shoes over the years. But this is one of those personal choice things....you make yours, we'll make ours, and everyone can just mind their own damn business about it, eh?


You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.And you can't? Or is it that your vanity requires that you just won't?

You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.
SO can you, but you had to go invent those hideously ugly fake nails and are willing to pay someone to glue them on for you. Once again, who's the smart ones here?

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.No...we grow one by default. If we don't want it, we get rid of it. A simple concept you might want to consider rather than complain about it, especially since it's mother nature and not us who create it.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives, on December 24, in 45 minutes.
Since when is being efficient a crime?

No wonder men are happier
Yeah, it is no wonder, isn't it? ed.

This is Cute - from Carolyn

PS:I'm a Big Shot - those of you who know me can decide if it's accurate.


Your birth date describes who we are, what we are good at and what our
inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the
challenges we are facing.

To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the birth
date together, like in the example, until there is only one digit. A
Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be,
it
will just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.

Example : March 20, 1950
3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973 = 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2
2 is the Birth Number to read for the birth date in the example.

#2 THE PEACEMAKER
#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
! #4 THE CONSERVATIVE
#5 THE NONCONFORMIST
#6 THE ROMANTIC
#7 THE INTELLECTUAL

1 's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is
natural.
Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being
stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn
some
diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often
leaders or
bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely
helpful for them. Lesson to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good
or
better and to stay open minded.

Judd, Nancy Reagan and Raquel Welch.

intuitive they don't like to be ! alone. Friendship and companionship
is
very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the
other
hand they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship.

themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.

Edison and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well
advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the
facts before jumping to conclusions.

#7 - THE INTELLECTUAL

decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be
questioned
themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow
and
steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very
knowledgeable, and sometim! es as loners. They are technically inclined

should
learn to exude their decisions on their own needs rather than on what
others want.
Famous 8's: Edgar Cayce, Barbara Streisand, George Harrison, Jane
Fonda,
Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin and Nostrodamus

blending
in. They have tremendous luck, but
also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful,
they
need to build a loving foundation.
Famous 9's: Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy
Carter and Elvis.


Sorry there's been nothing new lately.....my password quit working...all attempts to remedy the problem failed until someone in support on the other end pushed a button or something and it magically started working again. I bet John Ashcroft is behind this.
