AN ALLEGED HISTORY OF VALENTINE'S DAY
Gather 'round, kids, and let me tell you the real story of this touchingly sentimental
day. Valentine's Day, it seems, goes back to the 5th century. And what a century
it was. There was something for everybody: pillaging, torture racks, the occasional
boiling of a pesky neighbor, and outdoor sports -- like stoning.
It was around that time that those nutty Romans decided February was the
perfect month to practice a pagan celebration commemorating a young man's
rite of passage to the god Lupercus. Here's how it worked:
The names of all the village's teenage girls would be placed in a box, and
the young men would each draw a name. Kind of like large families do when
deciding who gives a gift to whom at Christmastime. But in this case, surprise!
the girls were the gifts, and each was assigned to the young man who had
chosen her name as a sexual partner for the whole year. Think of it as computer
dating without the soy latte.
But, alas, it seems that it was an imperfect system. The mating selection
process just didn't seem fair to the girls, all of whom suddenly developed a
chronic case of nighttime headaches. Enter the good pope Celasius (an
unfortunate pope name), who decided that the way to change things was to
change the names in the hat from the town teenagers to saints. So, instead
of partaking of a yearlong sex-ed lab course, the town's teenage boys would
just have to settle for emulating their drawn saint. It was out with the
pagan god Lupercus and in with a saint of love.
And right before Celasius' eyes stood the good bishop Valentine. "I got
a gig for ya, Val," Celasius said. "You're gonna be the love saint."
Now, that didn't work out real well for Valentine. As the "love saint," he thought
marriage to be a good idea and began uniting couples without so much as drawing
a name out of a hat. And that's when Emperor Claudius came calling. Claudius
thought that married men made bad soldiers (and housekeepers, too, but I digress),
so he did the military thing: he banned marriage. Oh, and bad news for Valentine,
too --- Claudius condemned him to be stoned and beheaded. In no particular order.
But, this story has a happy ending. While Val was cooling his heels in prison
waiting to be dealt his punishment, he became involved with the daughter of the jailer
Asterius. Asterius' daughter was blind, but through the strength of his faith,
Valentine miraculously restored her sight. And just before his execution, he
handed her a farewell message that said, "From your Valentine."
Which makes for a far more touching story than if he'd said to her, "I just can't
take anymore of this --- I'm going out and get stoned."

* you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
* you have to click "Start" to stop Windows 98?
* lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:
On a Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."
(DARN, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."
(the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(thanks for the tip)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."
(whew! that was close!)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."
(yeah, but it saves time...)
On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could really reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and I'm taking this for....)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor
use only."
(as opposed to......)
On Sundsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
(news flash)
On an American Airlines package of nuts: "Instructions: Open
packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3, maybe fly Delta?)

engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
A few good Senior Moments
An Elderly Gentleman…….
had a serious hearing problem for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'
The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says:
'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?'
Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said,
'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great.. I would recommend it very highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, what is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know.... The one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'
Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'
A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure.'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment. 'Where's my toast?'
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'
'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
'I don't know.'
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?' 'Because she can still drive!'
Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'
A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art.. It's perfect.'
'Really,' answered the neighbor . 'What kind is it?'
'Twelve thirty..'
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'
