The district attorney was cross-examining the murderess on the witness stand.

"And so after you had poisoned the coffee and your husband sat at the breakfast table partaking of the fatal dosage, didn't you feel any qualms? Didn't you feel the slightest pity for him knowing that he was about to die and was wholly unconscious of it?"

"Yes," she answered. "Come to thik of it...there was just a moment when I sort of felt sorry for him."

"And, when was that?"

"When he asked for the second cup."

Joke

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 10 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 five!

That's the key. 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.

And then the greatest day of your life happens .... you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony .... you BECOME 21 ... YES!!!

But then you turn 30 .... ooohhh what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk .... He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There's no fun now.

What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40 ..... stay over there, it's all slipping away ........

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50 ..... and your dreams are gone.

Then you MAKE IT to 60 ..... you didn't think you'd make it!!!!

So you BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60 ...... then you build up so much speed you HIT 70!

After that, it's a day by day thing. After that, you HIT Wednesday .... You get into your 80's, you HIT lunch. My grandmother won't even buy green bananas .... 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!!!!"

Joke

After a long and serious operation, Lena ended up in a coma. Try as they might, the doctors just couldn't bring her out of it. When her husband Ralph came into the intensive care unit to see her, the doctors gave him the bad news.

"We just can't wake her. It doesn't look good I'm afraid," the doctor told Ralph in a quiet somber voice.

Ralph looked at Lena and with a soft trembling voice said, "But doctor, she's so young. She's only 45."

"37," came the weak reply from Lena.

Sally, "Cause I just can't get a man."

Liz, "Well, you sure won't find one in the middle of the woods."

Sally, "Don't be so silly. I know that. But I went in the woods 'cause I needed something there that would get me a man. But I couldn't find it."

Liz, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Sally, "Well, I went there to catch a couple of owls. I took some dead mice and a bird cage."

Liz, "So, how's that gonna help you get a man."

Sally, "Well, I heard the best way to get a man is to have a good pair of hooters."


Trivia answer....

In Saudi Arabia, a woman reportedly may divorce her husband if he does not keep her supplied with coffee.

Coffee continues to be the most popular and traditional hot drink in Saudi Arabia. It was the largest and most dynamic area of the market, accounting for 51% of total market volume in 2002 and 57% of market value. This is a direct result of the popularity and long-existence of Arabic coffee in the Saudi Arabian drinks market. Fresh coffee accounted for 93% of total retail coffee sales in 2002, very marginally down on 1997.

Coffee beans were first roasted in Saudi Arabia around 1000 BCE. By the 13th century CE, the Muslims had already become confirmed coffee-drinkers, the beverage having proved its worth by keeping the devout alert during prayers. Wherever Islam spread, coffee was not long in following: to North Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, and India.

Saudi Arabia rendered the beans sterile by means of a drying process or by boiling. Thus no fertile coffee seeds departed the borders of Africa or Saudi Arabia until 1600 CE, when the pilgrim cum smuggler Baba Budan departed Mecca with fertile coffee seeds stuck onto his belly. These seeds eventually bore fruit, leading to the rapid spread of coffee cultivation as far away as Europe.
