canny said:In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Cream Donuts. Satan said "You want chocolate with that?" and Man said "Yes," and Woman said "and while you're at it add some sprinkles."
They gained 10 pounds. Satan smiled.
Then God created the healthful yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that
Man found so fair.
Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them and Woman went from size 6 to size 14.
So God said "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-IslandDressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side.
Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them."
And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken and fries and steak so big it needed its own platter.
Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.
God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Cake" and said "It is good." Satan created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."
God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. Instead, Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them. Man gained more pounds.
God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. Satan created McDonald's and its $1.50 double cheeseburger. Then said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied"Yes! And super size them!" Satan said "it is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then Satan created the Queensland Health System.
Thought for the day ..........
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040 there should be a larger elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and
absolutelyno recollection of what to do with them............
How do these people survive?
ONE Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the checkout boy had scanned all of my items, he picked up the "divider," looking it all over for the bar code so he could scan it. Not finding the bar code he said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to him "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." He said "OK," and I paid him for the things and left. He had no clue to what had just happened.
THREE A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
SIX I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
SEVEN My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a man in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
EIGHT Police in Radnor, PA, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
NINE A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency
