People Who Vote
May 23rd
A guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: “Free to good home. You want it, you take it.” For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: “Fridge for sale $50″. The next day someone stole it.
Caution! These people Vote!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was North because, he explained, he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, “Does the sun rise in the North?” When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, (and has for sometime), she shook her head and said, “Oh, I don’t keep up with that stuff”
She ALSO votes!
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call centre was open. I told him, “The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” He responded, “Is that Eastern or Pacific time?” Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, “Pacific.”
He ALSO votes!
My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but “didn’t think she’d get sunburned because the car was moving”.
She ALSO votes!
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It’s designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
My sister ALSO votes!
My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount…
He ALSO votes!
I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, “Wouldn’t the chain rip out every time she turned her head?” I explained that a person’s nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned…
My friend ALSO votes!
I couldn’t find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. “Now,” she asked me, “has your plane arrived yet?”
SHE ALSO votes!

Gone too soon
May 2nd
This is a poem dedicated to my brother David, it was written by my aunt Claudine and she read it at his funeral in May 2002.
You made a choice to leave today
I wish I knew the words to say
to bring you back and make it okay
You have always right from birth
had a part of my heart, solely for you
for you were do special
in so many ways
I love you David, and need to say
I’ll miss you forever and a day
Lying on that floor tonight
your body was cold, yet your
soul was light
For like an eagle you took
the flight
Back to the Source that gives
you Light
Your Dad stood tall and strong
tonight
The greatest test ha has to fight
“Know that he will be alright”
Jen my friend, don’t question
why, cry my love and say goodbye
and release him to God in the
Heavenly sky
Martin, you have lost your brother
Remember there can be no other
Send him off in
“Light and Love” and know in
your heart, he is with God above
Lord my God up there so true
Hold David in your arms
he has returned to You
Goodbye my nephew that I
love so much,
You touched all our lives,
and that meant so much
Your smile and your face
I’ll never Forget
Goodbye boy
“Your are on of the best”
