Just came from my friend/a friend of mine.

There are five things that you cannot recover in life:

(1) The Stone...........after it's thrown
(2) The Wordafter it's said,
(3) The Occasion......after it's missed, and
(4) The Timeafter it's gone.
(5) A personafter... they pass away.

I love another one:
There are three most useless things in the world - an altitude above you, a runway behind you, and a fuel you left back at the pump.

Kids grow up so fast
Special birthday this week…
Monica Lewinsky turns 50.
 
Can you believe it ?  It seems like only yesterday,
She was crawling around the White House on her hands and knees,
Putting everything in her mouth
They grow up so fast, don't they?

Have you invented a Time Machine or just found a hole to another Universe? In my world, Monika was born on July 23 1973. Deety, darling, may I talk to Zebbie or Dr. Burroughs, please? Looks like you flipped a wrong switch.

We older people need to learn something new every day.. just to keep the gray matter tuned up.

Where did "Piss Poor" come from?
Interesting History.

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot and then once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery...if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor". But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...they "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low. The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Here are some facts about the 1500s

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables
and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom; "of holding a wake".

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks
on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.)to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, "saved by the bell" or was "considered a dead ringer".

And that's the truth.

А вот еще из той же серии.
Когда закончилась гражданская война в США и негры получили независимость, большинство из них не знало, куда себя деть. Многие открывали магазинчики и лавочки и торговали чем придется. Ввиду бедности, магазинчики открывали в подвалах и экономили на всем, включая освещение. С тех пор и пошло - "темно как у негра в шопе".

how to teach english
http://1.2.3.10/bmi/gop.com.ua ...

A first-grade teacher had 26 students in her class. She presented each child with the first half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders (6-year-olds). Their insight may surprise you.
1. Don't change horses until they stop running.
2. Strike while the bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before Daylight Savings Time.
4. Never underestimate the power of termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water, but how?
6. Don't bite the hand that looks dirty.
7. No news is impossible.
8. A miss is as good as a Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new math.
10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust me. (almost Muller and Shtirlitz)
12. The pen is mightier than the pigs.
13. An idle mind is the best way to relax.
14. Where there's smoke there's pollution.
15. Happy the bride who gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is not much.
17. Two's company, three's the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as Stevie
Wonder.
21. Children
should be seen and not spanked or
grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed get new
batteries.
23. You get out
of something only what you see in the picture on the box.
24.. When the blind lead the blind,
get out of
the way.
25. A bird in the hand is going to poop on you.

LOL :)))
Number 17 should sound like: "Two's company, three's the Piglets, four's the Musketeers".
Number 4, by Robert Heinlein, sounds as "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity"
And number 8 ("A miss is as good as a Mr.") exactly matches one Russian proverb ("Мальчик, девочка... какая в жопу разница?")

Few days ago I was checking my son’s 1st homework in 4th grade. His teacher came up with a group of questions to get to know kids better.

One of the questions was:

Name something you know a lot about?

My son wrote:

I know a lot about teachers.

Out of the mouths of babies and sucklings comes forth truth.

Объяснить хотят пилотам пузатым,
Что язык английский тоже красивый -
А пилоты даже думают матом.
Схему выхода дают по английски,
Разобрать хотел слова, но куда там...
Понял только, что хотел папа виски.
Ну поставьте мне зачет автоматом!"

Some ladies see it that way ))

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Hunting Flies" He responded.
"Oh. Killing any?" She asked.
"Yep, 3 males, 2 Females, " he replied.
Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell them apart?"
He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone."

Some ladies see it that way ))

Well, she didn't mention a color. If I was God, I would let her live her next life as a polar bear :))

Speaking of cans...
A man entering a gun shop and asking a seller about new arrivals:
- Do you have a good semi-auto pistol in .45 caliber?
- Sure, we have a couple of them. But why .45?
- To shoot cans on my backyard.
- Shoot cans from .45? Are you serious? We have very good plinkers in .22, all of our customers happy with them.
- Sorry, I need .45.
- But why? What kind of cans are you going to shoot?
- All of 'em. Mexi-cans, puertori-cans...

... afri-cans...

-cans, -ans, -ese...
Personally, I don't want do any body harm to them and I am strongly against it, but why don't they want to live in their own countries?! They don't migrate into other culture, climate, traditions, don't want to speak other language but their own, etc..they just carry on living in their own world...
However, there is a certain amount of very decent, intelligent, educated professionals who can work and live, intergrate naturally and practically everywhere! )))

... and the same thing applies to Russians, Ukrainians, Hebrews and so forth. They all quickly divided to "Russian in US" and "Russian-born American" roles. And, from my standpoint, there is no big difference between Chinatown and Brighton Beach.

Is it all about..tonight?)))

If you like, you can see this stunt (wingwalking) this Saturday, October 1st, on the Leesburg Airshow:
http://www.leesburgairshow.com/

And speaking of wingsuit flying - it's a brand new sport which gets very popular now. I'm pretty sure that in 10..20 years it will take its respectful place along with hanggliding, paragliding, base jumping and snowboarding (which simply didn't exist 20..30 years ago).
Hopefully I'm not too old to see it on one of the next Olympics.

You have to be brave, as a minimum, at least, to undertake all sorts of -gliding on your own, as well as adventurous enough to find a kind of shelter in one of those:

Sorry, guys..but I love THAT woman...

"11 PEOPLE ... ON A ROPE
Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter.

10 men and 1 woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave,
Because otherwise they were all going to fall.
They weren't able to choose that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping . . .. . . . "

Sorry Mila. But that laughs well who stays in a helicopter ;-)

and Who will challenge this one?)))

Sorry Mila. But that laughs well who stays in a helicopter ;-)

True. It's a perfect candidate for the Darwin's Award. You don't need to drop the rope and fall, you just need to climb into the chopper and release the rope. And if you could not figure it out or just can not climb - well, grandpa Darwin is waiting for you :)

I honestly never ever have been able to climb any ropes... (( (So is Darwin's Award for me then? (( (

Nope. It's a team game. You don't need to climb a rope, you need to motivate 1..2 men above you to climb a rope. And if you can't do even that - well, you honestly earned this award (along with all others) :))

In that case I'd rather start dating a Helicopter Cap ;-)

Oh, let me introduce myself. Bond, James Bond... Can fly helicopters, airliners, fighter jets, paragliders and convertable cars. Also can climb ropes, cables and ancor chains. But I already have two girlfriends in this movie, so could you, please, wait for the next one? :))

A real James Bond must do anything that a Lady wishes him to do...;-)
