A patient had broken his leg and it was going to have to be set.
To get him ready for this painful event, he was heavily sedated.
While in this "state", he spoke rather freely with the hospital staff and with
his wife. She apparently learned several things about her husband.
When it was time to reverse the medication, the wife said "Wait!
not yet. I have some more questions I want to ask".

Today's useless fact - Why is yawning contagious?
First, let us dispense with the antiquated notion that a yawn is the body's
attempt to pump extra oxygen into our fatigued systems. Scientists have shown
that a person in an oxygen chamber yawns just as much as anyone else. No,
yawning seems to be tied to more primal purposes, with contagion at the center
of it. A semiautomatic reflex that originates in the brain stem and marks
transitions from one mental state to another, yawning is widespread throughout
the animal kingdom, particularly among carnivores. "Watch a pride of lions: when
one cat opens its mouth, pretty soon there's an outbreak.
Although the precise mechanism for its contagiousness remains unknown, yawning
appears to be a piece of ancient genetic wiring meant to help synchronize clan
behavior, a form of prelinguistic communication indicating that it's time to
move on to the next big thing. Think of it as a way for, say, a Neanderthal to
let his comrades know that the nap's over; let's go bag us a woolly mammoth.

It's 3:00 A.M. and Goldie wakes up to see her husband pacing the floor. "Morris,
why can't you sleep?" she asks him.
"You know our next door neighbor, Sam. I borrowed $1000 from him, and it's due
tomorrow morning and I don't have the money. I don't know what I'm going to do."
Morris replies.
Goldie gets out of bed and opens the window. "Sam," she shouts, and several
times more, "Sam, Sam."
Finally a very groggy Sam opens the window opposite her and yells back, "What,
what is it...it's 3 AM, what the hell do you want?"
Goldie says, "You know the $1000 my husband owes you? He doesn't have it."
She then slams the window shut and turns to Morris and says, now you go to sleep
and let Sam pace the floor."

Signs You Have Nothing To Do At Work
By January 6th you've already read the entire Dilbert page-a-day calendar.

Elvis.
You now require only a single can of cola to belch the names of all seven
Dwarfs.
People come into your office to borrow pencils from your ceiling.
You've figured out a way to get Gilligan off the island.

The woman was happily showing off her BMW. "It was nice of your husband to buy
you that new car," said a friend.
"Nice nothing! He had to," explained the woman. "I caught him in bed with the
maid."
"Oh, how dreadful!" replied the friend, sympathetically. "Well, did you fire
her?"
"Certainly not! I still need all new matching outfits to go with the car!"

There was a cowboy who went into an outhouse. He heard some noise, so he looked
inside, and lo and behold there was an Indian down in the hole.
The cowboy said, "How long have you been down there?"
The Indian replied, "Many moons."

A man and his wife check into a hotel. The husband wants to have a drink at the
bar, but his wife is extremely tired so she decides to go on up to their room to
rest.
She lies down on the bed... just then, and elevated train passes by very close
to the window and shakes the room so hard she's thrown out of the bed.
Thinking this must be a freak occurrence, she lies down once more.
Again a train shakes the room so violently, she's pitched to the floor.
Exasperated, she calls the front desk, asks for the manager. The manager says
he'll be right up.
The manager is skeptical but the wife insists the story is true. "Look... lie
here on the bed -- you'll be thrown right to the floor!" So he lies down next to
the wife.
Just then the husband walks in. "What,"
he says, "are you doing here!?!"
The manager calmly replies, "Would you believe I'm waiting for a train?"

One evening during a poker game, a man was bragging to his friends about how his
sister disguised herself as a man and was able to join the army.
"But, wait a minute," said one listener.
"Your sister will have to dress with the boys and shower with them, too. Won't
she?"
"Sure," replied the man.
"Well, won't they find out?" asked another poker player.
The first man shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Sure. But who is gonna tell?"

My four year old son and I were riding bicycles on a path going through the
soybean field on our farm. He was on his little 10 inch bike and I was on my 26
inch 12 speed. As we were coming down a slight hill that was a little bumpy, we
picked up a little speed. I told him "Be careful! Don't loose control." He 'as
matter of factly' told me "I won't Dad. I don't have any controls."
