Life and a Can of Beer

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”

The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things–your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions–things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

“The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else–the small stuff.

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal.

“Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.

The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of beers.”

A PIED PIPER VARIATION

A man was looking around a small gift shop when he came across an amazingly
ugly statue of a rat. As he was staring at this statue, the shopkeeper came up
to him and began to speak.
“Sir, I couldn’t help but notice your interest in the statue. It’s only five
dollars, sir, but the story behind it will cost you fifty.” The man turned back
around and looked in shock.
“Let me get this straight. If I buy the statue and the story behind it, I’ll
be paying fifty-five dollars. But if I can bear to live without the story, I’ll
only pay five?”
The Shopkeeper grinned and nodded. Not believing what a bargain he’d got, the
man quickly paid and walked out of the store. A few moments later, he noticed
that a lone rat was following him. He shrugged, and ignored the rodent, hoping
it would leave. When he looked back again, some five minutes later, he saw that
the number of rodents had grown to maybe fifty rats. A little nervous, he turned
back to his path and continued walking.
When he looked around the third time, he saw thousands of rats following him.
Horribly frightened, the man rushed to a dock overlooking the ocean and threw
the statue as far out to sea as he possibly could. The rats followed the statue,
sinking into the waves like stones.
The man then rushed back to the shop, elated, panicked, and still in shock.
When he burst through the door, the shopkeeper gave a little chuckle. He had a
smug grin on his face as he said,
“I expect you’ve come back to buy the story.” The shopkeeper held out his hand
for the fifty dollars. The customer looked confused for a second, then said.
“Hell no! I want to know if you’ve got a statue of a lawyer!”

Un tipo va conduciendo y

Un tipo va conduciendo y lo paran dos polic�as con ganas de joderlo:

“Buenas noches. Esto es un control de alcoholemia, pero tenemos el aparato estropeado as� que le voy a hacer una serie de preguntas para saber si usted esta bebido o no, �de acuerdo?”

“Est� bien, responde el buen ciudadano.”

“Va usted por la carretera. De frente ve dos luces que se acercan. �Qu� piensa usted que es?”

“�Pues qu� va a ser! �Un auto!”

“S�, pero �qu� auto? BMW, Mercedes, Fiat…”

“Y, �c�mo quiere que lo sepa?”

“Empezamos mal �eh? Creo que usted no va a pasar la prueba.”

Siguiente pregunta:

“Va usted por la carretera y ve de frente una luz que se acerca, �Qu� es?”

“�Pues qu� va a ser! �Una moto!”

“S�, pero �qu� moto? Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha…”

“Y, �c�mo quiere que lo sepa?”

“Definitivamente creo que usted da positivo en la prueba de alcohol. Vamos a tener que llevarlo detenido por conducir en estado de ebriedad.”

El tipo ya est� molesto y le dice al Polic�a:

“�Puedo hacerle una pregunta?”

“Adelante, h�gala.”

“Va usted por una calle y en la esquina ve una se�orita que est� apoyada en un poste, lleva poca ropa, minifalda, un gran escote, y que est� moviendo su bolso en c�rculos… �Qu� cree usted que es?”

“�Qu� va a ser! �Una puta!”

“S�, pero �cu�l puta? �Tu mam�, tu hermana o tu abuela?”

Larry Miller on Aging

A great standup routine which somone typed up!———————Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than ten years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.”How old are you?” “I’m four and a half.”You’re never 36 and a half….you’re four and a half going on 5. You get into your teens; now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number. “How old are you?” “I’m gonna be 16.” You could be 12, but you’re gonna be 16. Eventually.Then the great day of your life; you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony You BECOME 21….Yes!!!!!Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. What’s wrong? What changed? You BECOME 21; you TURN 30.Then you’re PUSHING 40….stay over there.You REACH 50. You BECOME 21; you TURN 30; You’re PUSHING 40; you REACH 50; then you MAKE IT to 60. By then you’ve built up so much speed, you HIT 70.After that, it’s a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday…You get into your 80’s; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30. My Grandmother won’t even buy green bananas. “Well, it’s an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one.”And it doesn’t end there….Into the 90’s, you start going backwards. “I was JUST 92.”Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. “I’m 100 and a half.”Happy aging!

The Pope’s Crossword Puzzle

A shy gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard that the Pope was on the same flight. “This is exciting,” thought the gentleman. “I’ve always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I’ll be able to see him in person.”

Imagine his surprise when the Pope sat down in the seat next to him. Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to the Pontiff. Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword puzzle.

“This is fantastic,” thought the gentleman. “I’m really good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, he’ll ask me for assistance.”

Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the gentleman and said, “Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in ‘unt’?”

Only one word leapt to mind. “My goodness,” thought the gentleman, “I can’t tell the Pope that. There must be another word.” The gentleman thought for quite a while, then it hit him.

Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, “I think the word you’re looking for is ‘aunt’.”

“Of course,” said the Pope. “Do you have an eraser?”

Two redneck

These two redneck fells think that they’ve moved pretty far up in the world,
and that the only way that they can better themselves is to further their
education. So the one goes to the college administrator to sign up for some
classes. The administrator immediately signs him up for math, English, history,
and logic.

” Logic? Was’ logic?”

” Logic is, well. Let me put it to you this way. Do you have a weed eater?”

” I sure do.”

” Then, since you have a weed eater, I can assume that you have a yard.”

” Well I’ll be tarred and feathered! How did you know that?”

” I used logic. Now by diving even further, I can say that if you have a yard
then you must have a house.”

” By golly you’re right.”

” And since you have a house, I can assume that you have a wife.”

” Yeah I do, you’re amazing!”

” And finally, since you have a wife, I can come to the conclusion that you
are heterosexual.”

” I have been since before I can remember. Wow! This logic is some amazing
stuff.”

So the fell goes home that night and runs into his buddy, and his
buddy asks:” So wad yaw sign up far?”

” Well I’m going to take me some math, English, history and logic.”

” Logic? Was’ logic?”

” Here let me put it to you this way. You got a weed eater?”

” Nope.”

” You’re queer isn�t yaw?”

Andy Rooney Quotes

Ads In Bills: Have you ever noticed that they put advertisements in with your bills now? Like bills aren’t distasteful enough, they have to stuff junk mail in there with them. I get back at them. I put garbage in with my check when I mail it in. Coffee grinds, banana peels…I write, “Could you throw this away for me? Thank You.”Fabric Softener: My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me (sniff) ‘Married’ (walk off). That’s how they mark their territory. You can take off the ring, but it’s hard to get that April fresh scent out of your clothes.Cripes: My wife’s from the Midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome. They use words like ‘Cripes’. ‘For Cripe’s sake.’ who would that be, Jesus Cripe’s? The son of ‘Gosh’ of the church of ‘Holy Moly’? I’m not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in ‘Heck’?Grandma: My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, ‘Sexy Senior Citizen’. You don’t want to think of your grandmother that way, do you? Out entering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where she got that dollar she gave you for your birthday.Prisons: Did you know that it costs forty-thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner? Jeez, for forty-thousand bucks a piece I’ll take a few prisoners into my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on the windows. I don’t think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And if they don’t want to run, they can rest in the chair that’s hooked up to the generator.Award Shows: Can you believe how many award shows they have now? They have awards for commercials. The Cleo Awards, a whole show full of commercials. I taped it. Then I fast-forwarded through the whole thing.Phone-In-Polls: You know those shows where people call in and vote on different issues? Did you ever notice there’s always like 18% that say “I don’t know”. It costs 90 cents to call up and vote… They’re voting “I don’t know.” “Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me the phone. (Into Phone) I DON’T KNOW!” (Hangs up looking proud.) “Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe you’re not sure about.” This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for $2.95/min. to say “I’m not in the mood.”

Confucius Sex

Confucious say:

Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day. Man who stand on toilet
high on pot. It is good for girl to meet boy in park, but better for
boy to park meat in girl! Man who jizz in cash register come into
money. Man who drop watch in toilet have shitty time. Man who fart
in church must sit in own pew. Man who finger girl having period get
caught red handed. Man trapped in pantry have ass in jam. Baseball
wrong–man with four balls cannot walk. Man who eat many prunes get
good run for money. Man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with
smelly finger. Learn to masturbate–come in handy. Woman who pounce
on dead rooster go down on limp cock. Man who buy drowned cat must
pay for wet pussy. Virgin like balloon–one prick, all gone.
