FW: Some Diet News with a Smile


 

 Diet Questions Answered

 
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong
    life; is this true?
 

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's
     it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out
     eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live
     longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of
     your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take
     a nap.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and
     vegetables?
 


A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a
     cow eat? Hay and corn And what are these? Vegetables. So
     a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of
     delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat
     chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green
     leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of
     your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? 
 
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is
    distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the
    fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way.
    Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? 
 
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio
     is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two
     to one, etc.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a
     regular exercise program?
 
 
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is:
     No Pain...Good!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? 

A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these
     days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it.
     How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little
     soft around the middle?


A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets
    bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a
    bigger stomach.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
 
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!!
    It's the best feel-good food around!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is swimming good for your figure? 

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to
    me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

 

 

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you
may have had about food and diets. 
 

And remember: 

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the
 intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
 preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways -
 Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body
 thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO
 HOO! What a Ride" 
 

AND......
 
 
 
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final
 word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the
 truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
 
 
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer
    heart attacks than Americans.
 
 
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart
    attacks than Americans.
 

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer
    fewer heart attacks than Americans.
 

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer
    heart attacks than Americans.
 

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of
    sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than
    Americans.
 

> CONCLUSION
 
 
    
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is
    apparently what kills you

Cabbie and Nun‏

A cabbie picks up a Nun.

She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley."

The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," says the nun, "why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

Hair Dryer

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?"
"Of course. What may I do for you?"
"Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday that is unopened and well over the Customs limits, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"
"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."
"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."
When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her.
The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"
"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."
The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?"
"I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."
Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father. Next!"

7 Kinds of Sex

The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex. This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you both have sex until you are blue in the face.

The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so horny you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.

The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.

The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex. This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say "screw you."

The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex. Which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the Afternoon and Nun at night. (Very Popular)

The 6th kind of sex is called: Courtroom Sex. This is when you cannot stand your wife any more. She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone.

And last, but not least,

The 7th kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex. You get a little each month. But not enough to live on.

Don’t lie to your Mother!

Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. 


Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Jennifer than met the eye. 


Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates." About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle? You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure." 
 
So he sat down and wrote: 
 
"Dear Mom: 
I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. 
Love, Brian" 
 
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read: 
"Dear Son: 
I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Jennifer, I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. 

Love, Mom"

Learning the Hard Way

First-year students at Auburn University's Vet School were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them, "In Vet Medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body.

For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the dead cow, withdrew it, and stuck it in his mouth.

"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the anal opening of the dead cow and sucking on it. When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention."

Idiot Sightings


 

IDIOT SIGHTING: Hubby and I 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.
_____________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING: I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new
neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the
removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many
deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place
for them to be crossing anymore." From Kingman , KS
______________________________________________________

IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE: My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and
ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal
lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. He was a
Chef? Yep...From Kansas City!
______________________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an
airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without
your knowledge?" To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge,
how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we
ask." Happened in Birmingham , Ala.
______________________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING: The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its 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. Appalled, she responded,
"What on earth are blind people doing driving?!" She was a probation officer
in Wichita , KS
_______________________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker: She
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. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
________________________________________________________

IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip
back into itself, and for the sake of her own life, couldn't understand
why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County
Sheriffs office no less
________________________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING: 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's 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, "Its open!"
His reply, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

A Night out with the Girls

The other night, I was invited out for a night with 'the girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight. 'I promise,' were my last words.

The hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily and around 3 a.m. we piled into a cab and headed to our respective homes, quite inebriated.

Just as I walked through the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times! Realizing that my husband would probably wake up to this, I quickly cuckooed another 9 times. I was quite pleased with myself for coming up with such a quick witted solution to cover up my tardiness. Even with my impaired judgment, I could count 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos equaled 12 cuckoos!

The next morning, my husband asked me what time I got in, and confidently, I replied, 'Midnight...like I promised. '

He didn't even raise and eyebrow and went on reading the morning paper! Phew! Got away with that one!

After a moment, he then replied, 'I think we might need a new cuckoo clock. 'A bit nervously, I asked him why, to which he responded: 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed 3 times, then said, 'Oh, crap, 'cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, then tripped over the coffee table and farted.'
