Layman's language 10 commandments ?

They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time.

1]  Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in  trouble,
     but it is a "steering wheel"  that directs the right path throughout.

2]  So a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small?
     Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look
Ahead and Move on. Concentrate and     focus ahead always.

3]  Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it
takes years to write.

4]  All things in life are temporary.  If going well, enjoy it, they
will not last forever.
     If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

5]  Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond,
     don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need
a Base of Gold!

6]  Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from
above and says,
     "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!"

7]  When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities;
     when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8]  A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse
than losing eye sight?"
     He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9]  When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and
sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has
prayed for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away
today's PEACE.

THE VALUE OF A DRINK !!!!!

"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."
~ Jack Handy

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell
happened to your bra and panties.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they
wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're
going to feel all day. "
~Frank Sinatra

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you
are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are
laughing WITH you.

"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not."

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can
logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin,of Cheers.
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the BuffaloTheory
to his buddy Norm.
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."

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are
whispering when you are not !!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!!

X MIXED JOKES

Jewish Student
After many years, a young Jewish Talmud student who had left the old
country for America returns to visit the family. "But--where is your
beard?" asks his mother upon seeing him.
"Mama," he replies, "in America, nobody wears a beard."
"But at least you keep the Sabbath?"
"Mama, business is business. In America, everybody works on the Sabbath."
"But kosher food you still eat?"
"Mama, in America, it is very difficult to keep kosher."
The old lady ponders this information and then leans over and whispers
In his ear, "Isaac, tell me--you're still circumcised?"
~~~~~~~~~~
Airline Humor

- "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds,
but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and
remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest
Airlines."
- "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the event of an
emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."
- "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your
belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the
flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
- "Last one off the plane must clean it."
- From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have
some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately,
none of them are on this flight."
- This was overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo,
Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final
approach, the captain was really having to fight it. After an
extremely hard landing, the flight attendant came on the PA and
announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain
in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the captain taxis
what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
- Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing:
"We  ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to
the terminal."
- An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had
hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a
policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the
passengers exited, smile, and give them a, "Thanks for flying XYZ
airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time
looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a
smart comment.
Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady
walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, did we land or were we shot
down?"
- After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant
got on the PA and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your
seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a
screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has
cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and
you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."
- Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to
thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get
the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized
metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."

Shipwrecked
A young single guy is on a cruise ship, having the time of his life.
On the second day of the cruise, the ship slams into an iceberg and
begins to sink. Passengers around him are screaming, flailing, and
drowning but our guy manages to grab on to a piece of driftwood and,
using every last ounce of strength, swims a few miles through the
shark-infested sea to a remote island.
Sprawled on the shore nearly passed out from exhaustion, he turns his
head and sees a woman lying near him, unconscious, barely breathing.
She's also managed to wash up on shore from the sinking ship. He makes
his way to her, and with some mouth-to-mouth assistance he manages to
get her breathing again. She looks up at him, wide-eyed and grateful
and says, "My God, you saved my life!"
He suddenly realizes the woman is Cindy Crawford!
Days and weeks go by. Cindy and our guy are living on the island
together. They've set up a hut, there's fruit on the trees, and
they're in heaven. Cindy's fallen madly in love with our man, and
they're making passionate love morning, noon and night.
Alas, one day she notices he's looking kind of glum. "What's the
matter, sweetheart?" she asks, "We have a wonderful life together, I'm
in love with you. Is there something wrong? Is there anything I can
do?"
He says, "Actually, Cindy, there is. Would you mind, putting on my shirt?"
"Sure," she says, "if it will help." He takes off his shirt and she puts it on.
"Now would you put on my pants?" he asks.
"Sure, honey, if it's really going to make you feel better," she says.
"Okay, would you put on my hat now, and draw a little mustache on your
face?" he asks.
"Whatever you want, sweetie," she says, and does.
Then he says, "Now, would you start walking around the edge of the island?"
She starts walking around the perimeter of the island. He sets off in
the other direction. They meet up half way around the island a few
minutes later. He rushes up to her, grabs her by the shoulders, and
says, "Dude! You'll never believe who I'm sleeping with!"

Naked on the Golf Course
A very avid golfer was lined up and ready on the 17th tee when out of
the woods came a naked girl who ran past him and into the woods on the
other side of the tee. Being the avid golfer he was, he once again
bared down on the ball and right in the middle of his backswing a guy
in a white coat ran out of the woods and asked him if a naked lady ran
past.
Our golfer said, "Yes, she ran into the woods."
The guy in the white coat said thanks and ran after her. Our golfer
again prepared to hit the ball when all of a sudden another man in a
white coat came out of the woods carrying a 5 gallon bucket of sand
and asked if he had seen a man in a white coat come through here
chasing a naked lady. He said, "Yes, they ran that way through the
woods."
The man said thanks and started to run off when the golfer stopped him
and asked, "Hey, what's going on?"
The guy explained, "You see we work at a sanitarium institution nearby
and every now and then that girl gets away and all she wants to do is
get naked and fuck."
The golfer then asked, "Well what's the bucket of sand for?"
The guy in the white coat said, "Oh, that's my handicap. You see, I
caught her last time!"

This kid comes home all wet, one shoe off and one shoe on, dripping
water all over the house. "Momma, momma, I fell in the drainage canal
!!!"
"Omigosh! How did you get out?"
"This man was walking nearby, heard me yelling, and jumped in to save me."
The mom rushes out the door, runs to the canal, and finds a gentleman
trying to dry himself off with old newspapers. "Are you the man who
pulled my little boy out of the canal?"
"Yes, ma'am, but it was really nothing."
"Nothing?" she screamed, "what did you do with his other shoe?!?!"

He says, "Love? What's that?"
She says, "I'll show you." She shows him. Then, she shows him again.

Ol' Jack gets thrown out of the pub at closing time and staggers down
the road in the general direction of home. Knowing that he's not going
to make it he goes into the woods to throw a hughie (vomit).
He leans against a tree and brings up the last four hours of alcohol
and then stands upright to wipe his mouth and beard. Looking down
blearily he notices an old lamp sticking out of the dirt, fortunately
untouched by his offering to hughie.
"Hey, some fool ha' thrown away a gud lamp here," says Jack and he
bends down to pick it up. He examines the lamp and brushes off some of
the dirt and grit.
There's a flash of light, plumes of smoke and a genie pops out of the
lamp. This thing is eight feet tall and twice as wide; wearing a
yellow saffron loin cloth and those weird slippers with the upturned
toes.
"Master," the genie booms. "You have freed me from imprisonment in the
lamp. I shall grant you three wishes!"
Jack looks up at the genie and says, "Well, just f*ck me!"
History does not relate what his next two wishes were.
~~~~~~~~~~
A young gay man is confronted by some of his friends, and told that he
may be drinking a bit too much and it seems like it may be getting in
the way of his work and effecting some of his relationships. His
friends are concerned that he may need to seek help. He took their
feelings to heart and joined AA.
At the end of a year of dedication he is clean and sober and gets his
"pin" showing his progress of one year being clean and sober.
He then thinks, he has wanted to stop smoking for awhile, could he use
the same principles he used in AA to stop smoking? He sets himself on
the path and does so.
By the second year when he gets his pin from AA, he is tobacco-free,
and has a small dinner party to celebrate the fact. When he gets
together with his friends, they are amazed at what good health he is
in, and amazed that he is not only alcohol-free but also tobacco-free.
They applaud his dedication.
About a year later, he has another dinner party and announces to all
his friends that he is "no longer gay." His straight friends -- as
well as his gay friends -- are totally amazed at this. No one believes
he has managed to change so much in his life!
"Did you do the same things you did to stop drinking and smoking?" many asked.
"Was it just a choice of lifestyle change?" others asked.
"Was it some type of religious revelation?" was even asked.
"No, nothing so drastic," he replied. "It's just when I quit smoking,
I found everything tasted different."
~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmmmm!

Traffic Camera

                                                       
A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding... Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace... Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt..

Some Good Advice!!!

"Never squat while wearing your spurs"

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash,
Was one of the greatest political sages this country has ever known.

Enjoy the following:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.  Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back
into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men:
...The ones that learn by reading.
...The few who learn by observation.
...The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for
themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from
bad judgement.

10. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and
then to make sure it is still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he
started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.


ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about
your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want
people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and
some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,
think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or lraks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top..
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that
it's such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it
was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have
anything to laugh at when you're old.

XX - Adult Jokes.

Hmmmmm!
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who
are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
-- Mark Twain
~~~~~~~~~~
A new supermarket opened near my house and it has an automatic water
Mister that keeps the produce fresh. Just before it turns on, you hear
the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience
the scent of fresh hay.
In the meat department, there's an aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions.
When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the
air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.
The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked
bread and cookies.
For the record, I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~
A stalwart Vermont farmer bought some land that was still just as it
had been before the Pilgrims landed. He dug up hundreds of stones and
built a fence; cut  down trees to create a clearing; built a house and
a small barn; cleared land for pasture, dug a well and over several
years just generally worked his fingers to the bone in creating a
small, neat, productive farm.
Eventually his pastor came out for a visit and marveled rather
fulsomely, and at great length, at all that, "You and God have done
together."
"He," the farmer said dubiously.  "Ya shoulda seen the place when God
ran it on His own."

I went fishing down the lake this morning and as I got there a bloke
fishing had his cooler absolutely CRAMMED full of fish.
I said, "What's the secret mate?"
He said, "Well, every time I pick up my rod I think about my wife."
I said, "Does that help you catch fish?"
He said, "Not really - but it keeps me  from going home for  two weeks."

I was sat in the park watching my young son play on the swings when
this gorgeous woman came and sat on the bench beside me. After a
moment, she asked, " Is he yours? He's lovely."
I replied, " Yeah, he is. Thanks." She said, " Where's his mum? "
I looked down to the ground and replied, " There is no mum, I'm
afraid. She died giving birth to him. You know, the last two years
have been the hardest of my life. Nobody ever prepares you for being a
single parent. With no family here, I've had no support network and
I've had to bring him up all by myself. You never know if the things
you do and the
Decisions you make are the right ones but despite everything, he seems
to have turned out all right."
By the time I'd finished, I could feel a tear welling in my eye. She
sat looking at me for a moment before saying, " That breaks my heart
but hearing you say that, makes me feel so attracted to you. "
She took out a pen and a bit of paper, wrote something down and said,
"Here's my number. I'd love to go for a drink with you sometime." And
with that she got up and started to walk away. As I watched this
beautiful woman walk out of the park, I felt my son tugging on my arm,
beckoning me to push him on the swings again.
I looked down and said, " Sorry son, we haven't got time. I need to
get home and kill your mother."

"Doctor," a man told his psychotherapist, "My wife uses her vibrator
every evening and for a long time. What should I do?"
"Well," replied the doctor, "Maybe you should be more attentive to her
sexual needs and make love to her more often..." "It's not that,
"interrupted the man, "It's just that the DA*n thing interferes with
the TV remote!"

Children At Play
As newlyweds, my wife and I hosted a family get-together at our
apartment, which had a large grassy field and superb children's
playground next door. My wife organized games outdoors for our eight
nieces and nephews, and the laughter and activity drew other children,
until about thirty kids were playing and clamouring for my wife's
attention.

After three hours, she called it quits.
The next morning while we were getting ready for work, two boys
knocked on our patio door and asked if our children could come out and
play. I told them we had no children; our nieces and nephews had just
been visiting.
Looking momentarily dejected, they brightened considerably as they
asked, "Well, then, can your wife come out and play?"
~~~~~~~~~~
Home Office Chairs
Our three children like to spin in our home office chairs. One of the
chairs makes this annoying popping noise whenever they are spinning in
it that is not conducive to productive thought processes. We have told
the children time and time again not to spin in the chair. Either they
forget or it is an act of defiance but they continue to spin in the
chair from time to time leading us to believe that this is an act of
swivel disobedience.

10 Funniest Badly-Translated Ads

When it comes to advertising, we've come a long way, baby.
All of these marketing slogans and brand names were perfectly fine...
In English.
However, once they were translated into other languages they took on
hilarious new meanings!

 KFC

When American fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken opened their
first restaurant in Beijing in 1987, they accidentally translated
KFC's famous slogan, "Finger-lickin' good" to "We'll Eat Your Fingers
Off!" in Chinese.


 Coors

U.S. Beer-making giant Coors apparently thought their slogan, "Turn it
loose!" would translate to Spanish just fine.

Unfortunately, "Turn it Loose" came out, "Suffer from Diarrhea" instead.

Frankly, if you've ever had Coors...

This slogan isn't too far off the mark.


 Clairol

In 2006, hair care company Clairol introduced a curling iron called
the Mist Stick, which did very well in U.S. Markets.

When the company marketed the product in Germany, however, they failed
to realize that "mist" means "manure" in German.

Oddly enough, the "Manure Stick" didn't sell so well in Germany.

 Milk

The American Dairy Association was so successful with its "Got Milk?"
campaign, that they decided to extend the ads to Mexico.

Unfortunately, the Spanish translation is "Are you lactating?"

Kind of a personal question, we think!

 Pepsi

Pepsi's slogan "We bring you back to life" caused a bit of panic in
China, where they

Read it as, "We bring your ancestors back from the grave."


   Puffs

Puffs brand tissues are quite popular in the U.S. A., however, their
quest for global marketing ran into a few snags due to their name.

In Germany, "Puff" is a colloquial term for a whorehouse.

In England, "Puff" is an offensive term for homosexual.

 Ford Pinto
The Ford Motor Company introduced the subcompact Pinto in 1971.

The company couldn't understand why they weren't selling more cars in
Brazil, until they

Learned that "Pinto" is Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals."

 Braniff Airlines
In 1977 Braniff Airlines only meant to advertise the leather seats
they'd installed in First Class, their slogan, "Fly in leather"
translated for Spanish-speaking markets as, "Vuela en cuero," which
means "Fly naked."

Let's hope they at least bring a towel to sit on!

 Parker Pens

When Parker Pen's famous slogan "It won't leak in your pocket and
embarrass you" was translated into Spanish, it confused many Mexican
consumers who read it as,
"It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."


 Coca-Cola
The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Ke-kou-ke- la,"
meaning"Bite the wax tadpole" or the equally hilarious, "female horse
stuffed with wax," depending on the dialect.

Coke then researched to find a phonetic equivalent "ko-kou-ko- Le,"
translating into "happiness in the mouth."

Expressions Explained

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras.
One's image was either sculpted or painted.
Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk
with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both
arms.
Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to
be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted.
Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them would cost the buyer more.
Hence the expression,
"Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."
---
As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year
(May and October)!
Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because
of lice and bugs) and wore wigs.
Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool.
They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a
loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes.
The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term "big wig."
Today, we often use the term "here comes the Big Wig"
Because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.
---
In the late 1700s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one
chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was
used for dining.
The "head of the household" always sat in the chair while everyone
else ate sitting on the floor.
Occasionally a guest, who was usually a man, would be invited to sit
in this chair during a meal.
To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge.
They called the one sitting in the chair the "chair man."
Today, in business, we use the expression or title "Chairman" or
"Chairman of the Board."
---
Personal hygiene left much room for improvement.
As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood.
The women would spread bee's' wax over their facial skin to smooth out
their complexions.
When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another
woman's face she was told, "mind your own bee's wax."
Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term "crack a smile."
In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt...
Therefore, the expression "losing face."
~~~~~~~~~~

Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up in the front.
A proper and dignified woman, as in "straight laced," wore a tightly tied lace.
---
Common entertainment included playing cards.
However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only
applicable to the "Ace of Spades."
To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead.
Yet, since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to
be stupid or dumb because they weren't "playing with a full deck."
---
Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what
the people considered important.
Since there were no telephones, TV's or radios the politicians sent
their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars.
They were told to "go sip some ale" and listen to people's
conversations and political concerns.
Many assistants were dispatched at different times.
"You go sip here" and "You go sip there."
The two words "go sip" were eventually combined when referring to the
local opinion
And, thus we have the term "gossip."
---
At local taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint and
quart-sized containers.
A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the customers and keep the drinks coming.
She had to pay close attention and remember who was drinking in
"pints" and who was drinking in "quarts," hence the term minding your
"P's and Q's."
