One day, shortly after joining the PGA tour in 1965, Lee Trevino, a professional golfer and married man, was at his home in Dallas , Texas mowing his front lawn, as he always did. A lady driving by in a big, shiny Cadillac stopped in front of his house, lowered the window and asked, "Excuse me, do you speak English ?" Lee responded, "Yes M'aam, I do" The lady then asked, "What do you charge to do yard work ?" Lee said, "Well, the lady in this house lets me sleep with her". The lady hurriedly put the car into gear and sped off. A man came to visit his grandparents, and he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch in the rocking chair wearing only a shirt, with nothing on from the waist down. 'Grandpa, what are you doing? Your weenie is out in the wind for everyone to see!' he exclaimed. The old man looked off in the distance without answering. 'Grandpa, what are you doing sitting out here with nothing on below the waist?' he asked again. The old man slowly looked at him and said, 'Well....last week I sat out here with no shirt on and I got a stiff neck. This is your grandma's idea.'

I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often. I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. One of my favorite place to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing. Signed, Residing in Coherent

I was explaining to my husband last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. He said he would like to come back as a pig. I said, "You're obviously not listening".

Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly. One student said to his friend, "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other student says, "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class." Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him and one of the students said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have. Could you tell us what it is?" The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think." The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?" The old man said, "I thought it was GAS - but I was wrong, too!"

A young woman had been taking golf lessons. She had just started playing her first round of golf when she suffered a bee sting. Her pain was so intense that she decided to return to the clubhouse for help and to complain. Her golf pro saw her come into the clubhouse and asked, 'Why are you back in so early? What's wrong?' 'I was stung by a bee', she said. 'Where', he asked. 'Between the first and second hole', she replied. He nodded knowingly and said, 'Then your feet are too far apart.

If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman. When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does. A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that, by drinking enough beer, men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects: 1) Argued over nothing. 2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong. 3) Gained weight. 4) Talked excessively without making sense. 5) Became overly emotional. 6) Couldn't drive. 7) Failed to think rationally. 8) Had to sit down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary.

Sven is passing by Ole's hay shed one day and hears music and through a crack in the door he sees Ole doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old red Massey Harris. Buttocks clenched he performs a slow dance and gently slides off first the right rubber boot, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move lets his braces fall down from his shoulders to dangle by his hips over his corduroy trousers . Grabbing both sides of his shirt he rips it apart to reveal his chest underneath and with a final flourish he hurls his flat cap on to a pile of hay. What on earth are you doing Ole? says Sven. Vel, ye know Sven, ye frightened the livin crap out of me says an obviously embarrassed Ole, 'but me and the Lena been having some troubles lately in the bedroom department, and the Psychiatrist asked I do something sexy to a tractor."

Boy yells back, "Roll of chicken wire." Old man says, "What you gonna do with that?" Boy says, "Gonna catch some chickens." Old man yells, "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!"

A trucker who has been out on the road for two weeks stops at a brothel outside Atlanta. He walks straight up to the Madam, drops down 500 and says: "I want your ugliest woman and a grilled cheese sandwich!" The Madam is astonished. "But sir, for that kind of money you could have one of my finest ladies and a three-course meal." The trucker replies: "Listen darlin', I'm not horny I'm homesick."

A 5-year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. Playing with his toys as she was dusting, he looked up and said, "Grandma, how come you don't have a boyfriend now that Grandpa went to heaven?" Grandma replied, "Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh. I'm happy with my TV as my boyfriend." Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem. The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door and there stood Grandma's minister. The minister said, "Hello son, is your Grandma home?" The little boy replied, "Yeah, she's in the bedroom bangin' her boyfriend." The minister fainted. SOUND RENTAL

A business man got on an elevator. When he entered, there was a blonde already inside who greeted him with a bright, "T-G-I-F" He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T" She looked puzzled and repeated, "T-G-I-F," more slowly. He again answer ed, "S-H-I-T." The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile, and said as sweetly as possibly, "T-G-I-F." The man smiled back to her and once again, "S-H-I-T." The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain. 'T-G-I-F' means 'Thank God, It's Friday.' Get it, duuhhh?" The man answered, "S-H-I-T' means 'Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday'-duuhhh.

First Casetta at Long Beach Malecon, Puerto Plata, R.D. Cell: 809-251-8679 Dear Tide: I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product. Well, gotta go, have to write to the Hefty bag people.

DRINKING TRADITIONS An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin , orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender asks him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time." The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America , the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin . When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss." The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no," he says, everyone's fine. I've just quit drinking."

Forum Announces That It Has "SOLD OUT" Its First "$9,000,000 USD Convertible Securitized Life Settlement Backed Bond" VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/25/12 -- Forum National Investments Ltd. (OTCBB: FMNL) ("FORUM") announced today that it has successfully "SOLD OUT" Its first Canadian Financial product securitized by senior US life settlements "an industry first". FORUM was oversubscribed and will put a number of potential investors on a waiting list for the next $10,000,000 Bond Offering presently scheduled for August 2012. Though this initial offering was targeted at primarily Accredited investors Forum is currently completing a full Offering Memorandum which will allow for the average retail investor to participate with an initial minimum investment as little as $10,000 CDN. The product is targeted for retail investors that are seeking to diversify their conventional investment portfolio with an alternative investment that is uncorrelated to the traditional stock market fluctuations and other economic downturns. FORUM is utilizing Life Settlements as the back bone for the securitization and performance of the Bonds. The bonds performance is directly related to one factor only, the maturity and payment of the death benefit by a minimum "AA" rated carrier's life Insurance policy which secures the bond. The product has at least two life insurance policies with two insurer's securing each bond issuance. In the case of the first bond issuance the insured are 83 and 85 years of age. The first bond offering was for $9,000,000 USD in death benefits and was sold at a minimum 85% discount to face value of the Death benefits. "The use of a Life Settlement to provide the underlying security for a retail bond has always been an interesting possibility and now it is a reality". "In fact I have purchased one unit of this initial offering for my personal investment portfolio," stated Dan Clozza CEO. "Given the economic uncertainty in Europe and around the world coupled with little to no return on traditional investments the introduction of this type of financial product at this time has been well received". The product is completely based in USD and should provide an above average return to investors with a potential hedge against the USD for those seeking that feature. We believe that we have removed all of the typical pitfalls to investing in this asset class. An investors in FORUM'S bonds will have the added option to convert their whole investment at any time right up to and including the full payout amount at the time of maturity to common shares in FORUM at a currently stated 10% discount to market based on a weighted five day average market trading price of the securities. A typical Life Settlement investment IRR's are high single digits annualized, but mid teen returns are a very real possibility. In fact windfall profits can occur if maturities come early as they did in 2008 for FORUM who had purchased a $5,000,000 USD Life Insurance policy on a 78 year old insured with a life expectancy of approximately eight years which subsequently matured in nine months. It is impossible to determine the exact return on any one individual life or bond offering with any degree of accuracy; it is simply a wait and see investment.
