Okay, back to the funnies...garym said:To all of my cracked pot friends...
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck to fetch water for the day.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.
The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"
'"That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them."
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
So, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
I love you guys!!!

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed a while back, Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

An Australian Poetry Competition held in the Sydney Opera House had
Come down to two finalists;
A) The university graduate.
An old aboriginal man..
They were given a word, and then allowed two minutes to study the
word and come up with a short four line poem that contained the word.
The word they were given on this occasion was ' TIMBUKTU '.
First to recite his poem was the university graduate.
He stepped to the microphone and said:
Slowly across the desert sand,
Trekked a lonely caravan
Men on camels two by two
Destination - Timbuktu ..
The crowd went crazy! No way could the old aboriginal top that,
they thought.
The old aboriginal man calmly made his way to the microphone and
recited;
Me and Tim a huntin' went
Met three w hores in a pop up tent
They were three, and we was two
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu ....
The aboriginal man won.0 -

I handed the teller at my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
and I said "May I have large bills, please"
She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."
When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS

We had to have the garage door repaired.
The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.
He said, 'NO, it's not..' Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used Sears repair since.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.
She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.

We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.

She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company due to 'downsizing,' our manager commented cheerfully,'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken.. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

Gary, the last item reminded me of the glorious ultimate put-down - the sort of bon mot you cna usually only regret not having thought of/delivered at the time.
It was a story about the **** little film starlet Jean Harlow:-
She was at a dinner party and continuously addressed Margot Asquith (wife of British prime minister Herbert Asquith) as "Margot", pronouncing the "T". Margot finally had enough and said to her, "No, Jean, the 'T' is silent, like in 'Harlow'".
I imagine that line was lost on the recipient.0 -

It's still not quite Friday, so a couple of just mildly funny but true stories.
Yesterday we were driving from London up to N.E. Scotland. My Wife was on good form and asked me "How long have you been driving?" I said "I dunno, about 5 or 6 hours". She said "And we're still not home yet! I'll how you how it's done - I'll have us home in under 2 hours!"
Earlier on in the day, she had overshot our destination and she swung the car round, close to the window of an architectural reclamation business which was displaying a large sign trumpeting "DOORS!" My Wife exclaimed "Do we want doors?" and, without drawing breath, our Daughter replied "Only the ones we started out with!!"0 -

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
THESE ARE THE BEST FIVE RIDDLES I HAVE SEEN...
THE ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM.RIDDLE 5 IS AMAZING.
IT SHARPENS THOSE GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS ALZHEIMER'S FOR YEARS ….
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.
Which room is safest for him?
- / -
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
- / -
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ?
- / -
4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
- / -
5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE THE RIDDLES ARE BELOW:
Answers:
1. The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
That one was easy, right?
2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry (shot; held under water; and hung).
3. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.
4. Sure you can name three consecutive days, yesterday, today, and tomorrow!
5. The letter "e" which is the most common letter used in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.
I'll be getting Alzheimer's any time now.

Two women were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua . As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that bar for a drink.."
The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."
The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do."
They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.
The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."
The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand.
This is my seeing-eye dog."
The bouncer said, "A Doberman?"
The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."
The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."
The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but thought,"What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.
Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."
The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog"
The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?"
The woman with the Chihuahua said, ..........

A woman goes into an ice cream parlor and asks the clerk for a chocolate ice cream cone. The clerk tells her that he is sorry but they are out of chocolate.So she says that's ok. She will have chocolate in a cup. He tells her again "Maam, I just told you, that we are out of chocolate." She thinks for a moment and says,"Then I'll have a chocolate sundae." The clerk says, "Lady, do you see the sign behind me?" "Yes" she says. He says," Do you see the van in vanilla?" "Yes" she says. "Do you see the straw in strawberry?" "Yes" she says. "And do you see the frick in chocolate?" She answers, "There is no frick in chocolate." He says, "That's what I've been trying to tell you!"0 -

From Art Bejma
I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.
You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.
I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'
I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.
I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!
When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'
Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me. They were cramming for their finals.
As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.0 -

My wife and I went north last weekend to play a little golf and celebrate our wedding anniversary. Upon arrival we went into the lounge for an adult beverage or two and found a group of people we knew that invited us to their table.
After a while my wife announced "Today is our anniversary!" to which someone asked "How long?"
I replied that it had been 3 blissful years, my wife gave me "the look" and corrected me stating that "In fact we had been married for 38 years." to which I replied "Yeah, but not all of them have been blissful."

The Juggler
A State trooper pulled a car over for speeding. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a juggler and was on his way to do a show at the circus. He didn't want to be late.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him, he wouldn't give him a ticket. The juggler told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle. The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he would juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got out 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car stopped and pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunken good ol’ boy got out, watched the performance briefly, went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper went over to the patrol car and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, "You might as well take me to jail. There ain’t no way I can pass that test.”0 -

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the
doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...'
'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed,' I've been expecting you.'
'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?' 'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped'. 'Please come in and have a seat'.
After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?'
'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread
out there.'
'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'
'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.'
'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith.
'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.'
'Don't I know it,' said Mrs.. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said. 'Oh, my word!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with.' 'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith. 'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look'. 'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement. 'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three
hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your,uh...equipment?'
'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.'
'Tripod?'
'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.'
At this, Mrs. Smith fainted.0 -

There are several people here who write so beautifully (Gary is, of course, one and the others know who you are!) that it's always difficult to know whether they originated the jokes they're passing on or selected and forwarded them. This is a classic example - Gary is fully capable of having fashioned such a brilliantly constructed essay in doubles entendres though I suspect it's one he quarried from wherever he finds the glorious stories he regales us with on Fridays. Alice's employment exchange (UK terminology) story is another example.
This is the sort of thing that doesn't feature in the intense communications on the superb KIDNEY-ONC listserv, where the intellectual powerhouse sobersides don't make a break from the priceless conveyance of important information to have the odd laugh or two. I have no doubt that a fair few of the main contributors there possess a great sense of fun but the tenor of the forum precludes its expression.
That's an area where CSN scores - it's more about friendliness, support and compassion for newcomers, many of whom are worrying unnecessarily with relatively benign prognoses, and keeping the positive attitude up and a sense of proportion intact. That's where Gary's Friday Funnies fit in and can be forgiven when they are so risque as to possibly trouble those with delicate sensibilities, such as myself [and I hope adman hasn't been too upset

An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist's desk, he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler. He gave her his name.
In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE. YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT ?"
All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, "NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS. "0 -

I once took my six-year-old daughter to a play called The Jerk, a farce about neighbors in an apartment complex.
My daughter had only been to kid's plays, you know, those plays where there is a lot of audience participation, and I thought I'd take her to an adult play for once.
In one scene there was a costume party and the characters decided to retire to the "kitchen" (off-stage). Next a character dressed as an alligator came in the door and called out "Where is everybody?". A voice yelled out "They're in the kitchen!"
The alligator head swiveled around to look in my direction and I suddenly realized the yell had come from my daughter!0
