AND Now that Donald Trump has won the U.S. presidential election, it is the first time ever in history that a white US billionaire will move into public housing vacated by a black family! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How would you pronounce this child's name? "Le-a" Leah?? NO Lee - A?? NOPE Lay - a?? NO Lei?? Guess Again. This child attends a school in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. It's pronounced "Ledasha". When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan and Loraine Delowski lived on a cove at Gull Lake Alberta. It was early winter and the lower portion of the cove had frozen over. Alan asked Lorraine if she would walk across the frozen part of the cove to the general store and get him some smokes and beer. She asked him for some money, but he told her, "Nah, just put it on our tab. Old man Stacey won't mind." So Lorraine, being the good wife walked across the ice, got the smokes and beer at the store and then walked back home across the cove. When she got home with the items she said, "Alan, you always tell me not to run up the tab at Stacey's store. Why didn't you just give me some money?" Alan replied, "Well, Lorraine, I didn't want to send you out there with cash when I wasn't sure how thick the ice was!" A love story like this almost brings tears to my eyes........ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During a recent password audit it was found that a blonde had an unusually long password: "mickeyminnieplutoheweydeweydonalygoofy" When asked why such a big password she said the instructions said it needed to be eight characters long. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A blonde was driving home and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to the repair shop. The shop owner saw that she was a blonde and decided to have some fun. He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard and all the dents would pop out. So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her tail pipe. Nothing happened. She blew a little harder and still nothing happened. Her room mate, also a blonde, came home and said, "What are you doing?" The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow in the tailpipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. Her blonde room mate rolled her eyes and said, "Duh! Hello?? Don't you know that you need to roll up the windows first!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Newfoundlanders were looking at a Sears catalogue and admiring the models. One says to the other, 'Have you seen the beautiful girls in this catalo?' The second one replies, 'Yes, they are very beautiful. And look at the price!' The first one says, with wide eyes, 'Wow, they aren't very expensive. At this price, I'm buying one.' The second Newfie smiles and pats him on the back. 'Good idea! Order one and if she's as beautiful as she is in the catalo, I will get one too.' Three weeks later, the one Newfie asks his friend, 'Did you ever receive the girl you ordered from the Sears catalo?' The second Newfie replies 'No, but it shouldn't be long now. I got her clothes yesterday!' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you ever wonder why you never see dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica? Ever wonder where they go? Wonder no more. It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguins have a very strong community bond. They are very committed to their family and will mate for life. They also maintain a form of compassionate contact with their offspring throughout its life. If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the freshly dug grave and sing ... "freeze a jolly good fellow".
