From Gary.... Up in a tree--Again!!!



Giraffes are large creatures and I wondered: What could make one "climb" a tree?  I just couldn't imagine what could possibly make this happen until my good friend Bruce Arnold sent me the following items today via email...

So, what's the problem?

A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, get 6. 

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. 

The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" 

He replied, "They had avocados." 

If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again! Men will get it the first time. 

My work is done here. 

  
Water in the carburetor... 

WIFE: "There is trouble with the car. It has water in the carburetor." 

HUSBAND: "Water in the carburetor? That's ridiculous " 

WIFE: "I tell you the car has water in the carburetor." 

HUSBAND: "You don't even know what a carburetor is. I'll check it out. Where's the car? 

WIFE: "In the pool" 
  
    
THIS IS A FRIGHTENING STATISTIC, PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST WORRYSOME IN RECENT YEARS. 

25% of the women in this country are on medication for mental illness. 

That's scary. 

It means 75% are running around untreated. 


A young man wanted to get his beautiful blonde wife something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decided to buy her a cell phone. He showed her the phone and explained to her all of its features. 

Meg was excited to receive the gift and simply adored her new phone. 

The next day Meg went shopping. Her phone rang and, to her astonishment, it was her husband on the other end. 

"Hi Meg," he said, "how do you like your new phone?" 

Meg replied, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell, but there's one thing I don't understand though..." 

"What's that, sweetie?" asked her husband. 

"How did you know I was at Wal-Mart?" 

HE MUST PAY... 
Husband and wife had a tiff. Wife called up her mom and said, "He fought with me again, I am coming to live with you." 

Mom said, "No darling, he must pay for his mistake. I am coming to live with you. 



Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus- that saying has been around "forever".  Funny thing is: its true!!!  I think most men would think the "jokes" above are funny, but I doubt most of the ladies will.  Just goes to show you... we just have to love one another.  Frankly, it is difficult at times because the sexes are SO DIFFERENT!!!  But, as a refresher, please read this very important passage from the book of Ephesians...

Ephesians, Chapter 5
  25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,  27 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.  28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.  29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;  30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.  31 “For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”  32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.  33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband. 

Why was the Giraffe up a tree? Probably told too many of these jokes at a family gathering.....

PS.  I find myself in the doghouse on a regular basis, by doing the same things.  Good thing is... my wife really, really loves me!!! How do I know this- Well, she hasn't made climb any trees lately!!!
