joke of the day


Jack was single. He lived in a small apartment, which he shared with a pet parrot and a pit bull terrier named Spike. When Jack's dishwashing machine broke down, he asked his neighbor Pete, the repairman, to come and fix it. 

“The terrier won't harm you,” said Jack before leaving, "But whatever you do, NEVER SPEAK TO THE PARROT"

Soon after, the parrot started harassing Pete: "I heard your wife shout at you the other day.  You are such a wimp" Pete ignored it and kept working. "You couldn't change your flat tire the other day" said the parrot, “so how are you going to fix a dishwashing machine?"

Fed up, Pete replied, "Okay. How would I expect you, with the brain the size of a bean, to talk any sense?"

"That’s it!" Said the parrot, "Spike, Get him!"




Looking to reconnect?  Grab the keys!


A YourTango study found that reconnecting with your sweetie boils down to two words...

ROAD TRIP!  (drop this)

A whopping 84% of couples say taking a simple road trip strengthened their relationship.  That's quality time... just you and your sweetie.  63% say they hold hands or share a kiss at a red lights.  It's also a good time to talk about something important.  

Of course, things take a quick turn for the worse once the passenger becomes an annoying back-seat driver.  Here are the most popular, and annoying, habits of a back-seat driver:


  1. Tell the driver they're going too fast
  2. Tell the driver they're going the wrong way
  3. Tell them they're not paying attention 
  4. Chide them for driving too slowly


Phones/Facebook:  The open road -- does it help or hurt your relationship?






Cooks Love the Java!




National Coffee Day is Saturday, and Dunkin' Donuts set out to find which profession sucks down the most coffee, and the people that prepare your food top the list.  Food preparation and service workers even beat scientists and nurses.  Here are the 10 professions that drink the most coffee:

1) Food Preparation/Service Workers
2) Scientists
3) Sales Representatives
4) Marketing/Public Relations Professionals
5) Nurses (Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant)
6) Editors/Writers/Media Workers
7) Business Executives
8) Teachers/Instructors (K-12)
9) Engineering Technicians/Support
10) IT Managers/Network Administrators

Really?  Media workers only come in at #6?  Have they been around radio morning shows?  The only thing more popular than the radio station coffee maker is the radio station bathroom.  

Most coffee drinkers, they found out, drink 2 or more cups per day, with 28% drinking three or more cups.  

Facebook/phones:  Who serves up the best cup of coffee in town?  Maybe it's somebody we would never expect???
