What’s in a name?
Thanks Ernie, another great funny one:
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children. 'You all have obsessions,' he observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said, 'You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy.'
He turned to the second Mom, Ann, 'Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's name, Penny.'
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce, 'Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy..'
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered, 'Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Let's go pick up Peter and Willy from school and get some dinner.
And a funny one from Diane, but what I want to know, is who has Chicken for Thanksgiving?
IT'S SO EASY. PERFECT FOR THANKSGIVING
BAKED STUFFED CHICKEN
Here is a chicken recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing -- imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out.
Give this a try:
- 4-5 lb Chicken
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.)
- 1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
- Salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 Brush chicken well with melted butter , salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds. When the chicken's ass blows the oven door open and the chicken flies across the room, it's done.
And, you thought I couldn't cook...
Doctor Says….
And another great one from Ernie!
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Manchester...
The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here years ago.
- Red meat is awful.
- Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining.
- Chinese food is loaded with MSG.
- High fat diets can be disastrous.
- None of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.
But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?'

3. You know how to eat an artichoke.

Crisis as Dublin Floods
More from Edel! There's been major flooding in Dublin recently (Summer 2008) and this e-mail been doing the rounds:
Finglas was hit badly by the floods over the weekend. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering ' Whaas da bleeeding Story ?' 'aaaaaawright bud' and 'fuuuucksake'.
The flooding decimated the area causing approximately 30 euro worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from Benidorm and Santa Ponsa were damaged beyond repair.
Three areas of historic burnt cars were destroyed.
Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheque arrived.
RTE News reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to the terms with the fact that the damage had not been caused by illegal means.
One resident : Alexis Crystal Duffy, a 15 year old mother of 5 said 'It was such a F***in shock, me little wan Chardonnay Mercedes cem runnin inta me bedruem cryin, Me youngisst two Tyler Morgan an Megan Brooklyn slept tru ih all. But I was bleeedin shaken watchin F***in Rikki Laaake in da mornin'
Apparently though, looting, muggings and incidental crime did carry on as usual.
The Irish Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Strongbow, Dutch Gold, Frozen Pizzas, and John Player Blue to the area to help stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, which include Welfare Books and Jewelery including thousands of Sovereign Rings, many large Medallions and Hash Leaf Shaped earrings from Elizabeth Duke at Argos also Fine Bone China from Tommy's Wonderland of Value.
This Appeal is to raise money for food and clothing Parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after, items most needed include:
- Fake Burberry or Kappa Baseball Caps
- Hoodies (any type)
- Tommy Hilfiger Tracks Suits (his and hers)
- Nike/Adidas Shell Suits (female)
- White Donnay Sports Socks Rockport Boots (and any other items usually sold in TK Maxx)
- Anything from Magic or Unique
- Food Parcels may be harder to come by as refrigeration may be a problem, but are needed all the same.
Required Foodstuffs include:
- McCains Oven Chips
- Heinz Baked Beans
- Goodfellas Frozen Pizzas
- Coke/Fanta
- Strongbow Cider
- Smirnoff Ice
- John Player Blue 15s
And Remember That Your Cash Contribution Also Counts !!!
Just 22c buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms and Bookies slips
Just 5 euro buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9
Only 6 euro will pay for a packet of 20 Major to calm the nerves of those affected.
Thank You Very Much For Your Help.
