Some Deeper meaning stories

  • Deep thoughts

    And that’s the truth

    WANDeep thoughts….. Raked leaves today and after doing so I sat down and had a couple nice cold beers. The day was really quite beautiful, and the brew ignited some deep thinking on various topics. …
    Finally I thought about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts. Well, after another beer, and even more deep thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby and here is the reason for my conclusion: A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say “It might be nice to have another child”. On the other hand, you never hear a guy say: “You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts”. Case closed. Time for another beer.

    EATING OUT
    When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
    When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
     MONEY

    A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need but it’s on sale.
     BATHROOMS
    A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
    The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
    ARGUMENTS
    A woman has the last word in any argument.
    Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
     FUTURE
    A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
    A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

    NATURAL
    Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
    Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
     OFFSPRING
    Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
    A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
     THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    A married man should forget his mistakes. There’s no use in two people remembering the same thing!
    SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and who can handle it …. and to the men who will enjoy reading it.
  • Simple Stress-Handling Capacity Test for Seniors

    Are the patterns moving?
    Or are they perfectly still??

    The patterns are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.

    The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.

    Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly.

    However, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

    None of these images are animated – they are perfectly still.

    If you did NOT see any movement in the patterns, look closely at the following photo:

    Senior citizens .. If you don’t see movement in this photo, Call an Ambulance

  • Paraprosdokians

    I’ve never heard this word before……………

    WAN

     Paraprosdokians (Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in which   the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous.1. Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on my list.

    3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    4. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

    5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

    6. War does not determine who is right – only who is left.

    7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

    9. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

    10. In filling out an application, where it says, ‘In case of emergency, Notify:’ I put ‘DOCTOR’.

    11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

    12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

    13. I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure..

    14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

    15. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

    16. You’re never too old to learn something stupid.

    17. I’m supposed to respect my elders, but its getting harder and harder for me to find one now.
  • What can a man do with 3 naked women?

    This is Brilliant

     

     

     

    NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED, IS IT?

     

  • The Buzzard, The Bat and the Bumblebee

    THE BUZZARD

    If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet
    and is entirely open at the top,
    The bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner.
    The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground
    with a run of 10 to 12 feet.
    Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly,
    But will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
    THE BAT
    The ordinary bat that flies around at night,
    a remarkably nimble creature in the air,
    Cannot take off from a level place.
    If it is placed on the floor or flat ground,
    all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and,
    No doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation
    from which it can throw itself into the air.
    Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
    THE BUMBLEBEE
    A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies,
    unless it is taken out.
    It never sees the means of escape at the top,
    but persists in trying to find some way out
    Through the sides near the bottom.
    It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
    PEOPLE
    In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee.
    We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!
    That’s the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem…
    Just look up!
    Sorrow looks back,
    Worry looks around,
    But faith looks up!
    Live simply,
    Love generously,
    Care deeply,
    Speak kindly, and
    Trust in our Creator,
    Who loves us.

  • It’s Just Paper

     

    By Canadian paper artist, Calvin Nicholls.

     

    There is nothing simple or ordinary about his paper art. Where we would simply use a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, Calvin uses everything you could possibly think of to carve, cut and rip perfect details onto his creations. The motifs are all wildlife, and that must be one of the hardest categories of things to make with paper since there are sometimes impossible details on animals. These details are amazing! I can’t even fathom the time it must have taken to create these masterpieces of art.
