Passover - Laugh While Cleaning
Passover, or Pesach as it is called in Hebrew, is the 8 day festival where the Jews celebrate their liberation from Egypt more than a thousand years ago. One of the most important features of this freedom festival is that the Jews cannot eat anything that is leavened. They eat unleavened bread. They must also make sure that no bread crumbs exist in or around the house: the cupboards, the drawers, the kitchen, behind the bed, under the refrigerator and anywhere else where crumbs might have fallen through. To ensure that the house is clean of leavened food materials, the Jews have to clean the entire house from top to bottom as thoroughly as possible.
I Got Mugged
Just recently. Over the very last weekend. Don't worry, though... I have already fully recovered from this surprise and I am doing better than ever. Now, the mug I have received arrived from EzineArticles.com. Apparently, it is the way EzineArticles.com recognizes their new platinum authors. The lovely and, I must add, quite sizeable mug came with a bag of coffee. Just right for me, that is, not too strong: strong coffee is really not my cup of tea. I must say that this nice little gift made my day. I guess that, like almost everyone else, I am a sucker for freebies. But this freebie was special because it was also very clever.
Comedy Comes Natural for Robin

Have A Very Boring Day
We humanoids thrive on excitement. We are right now in the middle of March Madness when exhausted basketball teams put everything on the line to get into the Sweet Sixteen, the Final Four, and the Championship Game... blah, blah, blah. The NIT is on too, whatever that is. It"s the not-so-hot or the "unlucky" teams I guess. However, I do know that my University of Utah won both, the NCAA in 1944 and the NIT in 1947. That was back when everybody knew what the NIT was because it was more prestigious than the NCAA tournament... blah, blah, blah. I remember listening to the NIT game on the radio at a small neighborhood store next door to my home (where there was no working radio other than a crystal set I made).
The Perfect Humor Mentality
Here's the fundamental truth of being humorous: You will never ever become a truly funny guy unless you view yourself as one. And whether you view yourself as a funny guy depends a lot on what you say to yourself on a daily basis. Words are mirrors. What you say to yourself not only reflects your mentality but also provides feedback to reinforce your own perception about yourself. The technical term is called autosuggestion. Your "humor identity" is also decided on many other factors, such as: - Your postures (upright or slouching) - Gestures (firm or fleeting) - Facial expressions (blank or lively) - The speed of your movement (purposeful or flustering) - Tonality (cadent vs.
Humor - Sex Helps for Old Men
Old men are interested in sex. You can be sure of that. The interest in sex starts before grade school and never stops-for old men. The difference is one of emphasis. Young men are participants but some old men are ex-participants. That is the difference. But old men are always hoping for a re-cooperative miracle that doesn"t cause blindness, hard attack, stroke, or- VIAGRA Viagra is commonly used by men of all ages. However there are some side effects. Here is what sometimes, or perhaps rarely, happens in the bedroom: MAN: Sorry, Dear. I have a headache. WOMAN: Honey, what happened to your face.
My First Experience Camping
My first experience camping was a very memorable one. I had never been camping before I met my husband. I didn"t know that camping meant sleeping out in nature, in a tent. Thinking back I guess I didn"t really think about it at all. We were off to a nearby campground, we drove in and paid for our site and it was just beautiful, there were ducks and a small lake and up on the hill there was a pool and small store if you needed anything. At dusk we lit our fire and wow what a difference in the day and night when you are camping, the night seems darker and the day seems so short. The fire was very nice and pleasant, however having a small allergy problem with mosquitoes, that there was a horrible night.
Ten Ways To Not Get Mugged
Crime is rampant, very rampant, even people who have never once used the word rampant, much less several times in the same sentence, agree that if anything was ever rampant; it is most definitely crime today. Many criminals I know have been forced to hang up their masks and guns and find work as corporate executives because the competition on the street is so fierce. In these dark times there is a deep and desperate longing for some dim flicker of hope. That, or perhaps an enema, I"m not really sure. What is clear to me though, is that the American people urgently need a written guide to surviving an attempted mugging.
