RE:  Christmas Party

I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon  in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!

We'll have a small band playing traditional carols…please feel free to sing  along.

Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.

This gathering is only for employees! The Managing Director will make a special announcement at the Party.

Merry Christmas to you and your Family.

Pauline

RE: Holiday  Party

In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we're calling it our 'Holiday Party'. The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your  enjoyment.

Happy now?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,

Pauline

RE: Holiday  Party

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table…  you didn't sign your name.  I'm happy to accommodate this request,  but if I put a sign on a table that reads,  'AA Only', you wouldn't  be anonymous anymore!!!!  How am I supposed to handle this?  Somebody?

Forget about the gift exchange. No gift exchange allowed now since the Union officials feel that $10.00 is too much money and  Management believes $10.00 is a little cheap.

NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday  Party

What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim  holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight  hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of  the party – or else package everything up for you to take home in a little  foil doggy bag. Will that work?

Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet;  pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets; Gays are allowed  to sit with each other; Lesbians do not have to sit with gay men; each  will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the  gay men's table, too. To the person asking permission to cross dress – no  cross dressing allowed.

We will have booster seats for short people. Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food. We suggest those people with  high blood pressure taste the food  first.

There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics; the restaurant cannot supply 'No Sugar' desserts.  Sorry!

Did I miss anything?!?!?!?!?!

RE: The  ******** Holiday  Party.

Vegetarian pricks! I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House  whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest  from the 'grill of death', as you so quaintly put it. You'll get your  f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes, but you know tomatoes have  feeling, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!!
Hope you all have a rotten holiday ! Drink, drive, and die!

The Bitch from HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Pauline  Lewis and Holiday Party

Management has decided to cancel our holiday party and, instead, give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd of December off with full  pay.

Having planned the "holiday party" at work for the last five years, I fully understand and laugh my head off.  Every year I tell my principal, "please find someone else to do this"  and every year he says," but you handle it so well" 

Perhaps this year I'll take Pauline's approach….

An elderly gentleman…

Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'

The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'  

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'

The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?' The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know… The one that's red and has thorns.'

'Do you mean a rose?'

'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. 'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.

'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'

'Sure.'

'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.

'No, I can remember it.'

'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?'

He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries. '

'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.

Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it!

Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream – I got it, for goodness sake!'

Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.

'Where's my toast ?'

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:

'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'

'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'

'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'

'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'

'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'

'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
'I don't know.'

'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'

'Because she can still drive!'

Three old guys are out walking.

First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'

Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'

Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'

A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.'

'Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it?'

'Twelve thirty.'

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'

Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''

The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

One more. . .!

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'

'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

My favorite is the one where the husband goes to the kitchen for ice cream and comes out with breakfast and the wife thinks thats what she asked for.

You find out interesting things when you have sons, like…

 
1.   A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2.   If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3.   A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.   If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.   You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.   The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.   When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh',  it's already too late.

8.   Brake fluid mixed with Clorox make smoke, and lots of it.

9.   A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.  Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

11.  Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.  Super glue is forever.

13.  No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.  Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15.  VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.  Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.  Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.  You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.  Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.  The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.  The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.  It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.  Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.  80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25.  80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Thomas was a chicken farmer; his farm was dedicated to the fertilized egg business.  In his farmyard, Thomas had 450 young hens to lay the eggs.  Incidentally, at this stage the female hens are called 'pullets'.  Now to fertilise the eggs, which the pullets laid, Thomas had 12 male birds called roosters.

The farmer kept careful records, and any rooster that didn't perform went straight into the cooking pot and a replacement introduced.  Thomas found this task time consuming, so he bought a dozen tiny bells and attached one to each of his roosters.  Cunningly, each bell had a different ring tone so Thomas could tell from from the comfort of his porch, which rooster was performing.

So now Thomas could sit on his rocking chair and tick the boxes on his efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favourite rooster was Old Podgy, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning Thomas noticed Old Podgy's bell hadn't rung at all!  Thomas went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets, their bells-a-ringing.  The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.  But to Farmer Thomas's amazement, Old Podgy had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Thomas was so proud of Old Podgy, he entered him in the Worcester County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result… The judges not only awarded Old Podgy the No Bell Piece Prize, but also they awarded him the Pulletsurprise!

 You can't warm your socks in a microwave oven on a cold day…….they will catch fire.

Mom will notice that soccer ball mark on the living room ceiling the minute she walks in the house and the fireplace does not make a good soccer goal.

You can not reheat soup in the removeable crockpot by putting it on top of the stove.

Your second grade teacher can tell that your mother did not sign that permission slip when it's signed “Mom”. 


Kathy, that's my list…from experience!

Two overworked, exhausted male factory workers conversation: 

Male Factory worker #1: "I'm so exhausted, let's go outside and take a Break!

Male Factory worker #2: "yeah, let's, I need to catch a second wind."

Male Factory worker #1: "Why do you need to catch a second wind?"

Male Factory worker #2: "Cause I just broke the first one!"

A minister went to visit this little old lady. She got a phone call, so the minister ate some of her peanuts in the dish. As she talked longer, he ate more peanuts, intil he eventually ate ALL of her peanuts.

When she got off the phone, the minister said "I am so sorry. I was starving and ended up eating ALL your peanuts in this dish". She replied, "Oh, that's okay honey..my teeth aren't so good anymore. I just suck the chocolate off of them".

True story.  I was in a buffet yesterday that had CNN on the TV with the closed captioning on.  The story was about some frog that had aprodisiac properties.  The cc wrote this as…

Afro disease yak.  :laugh:

I about spit my chicken lo mein across the room.  What made it even funnier to me was no one else in the place was paying a bit of attention to the TV so I looked like I was having a seizure or something.  Laughed my butt off.

We are in trouble…

The population of this country is 300 million.


160 million are retired.

That leaves 140 million to do the work.

There are 85 million in school.

Which leaves 55 million to do the work.

Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.

Leaving 15 million to do the work.

2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden.

Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.

Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.

Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me.

And there you are,

Sitting on your ass,

At your computer, reading jokes.

Nice. Real nice.
