How to Tell if

You're a Grinch

Submitted by Jimbo

• You reuse last year's

Christmas cards and

send them out under

your own name.

• You steal light bulbs

from you neighbor's out-

door display to replenish

your own supply.

• You have dressed a dog

or cat as Santa Claus,

elf helper, or reindeer. If

you dressed an endan-

gered species, that’s

even better!

• You put out last year's

stale candy canes for

children.

• You enclose a shoddy

and inferior gift from

Target, Walmart, or

K-Mart in an L.L. Bean

or other prestigious box

to impress your friends.

• You make collect long

distance phone calls to

your family on Christ-

mas day.

• At the office Christmas

party, you horde huge

stockpiles of goodies for

later consumption at

home.

• After an invitation to a

friend's house, you bring

a commercially pro-

duced fruitcake and try

to pass it off as home

made.

Test FlightSubmitted by Jimbo

Santa Claus, like all pi-lots, gets regular visitsfrom the Federal Avia-tion Administration, andit was shortly beforeChristmas when theFAA examiner arrived.

In preparation, Santahad the elves wash thesled and bathe all thereindeer. Santa got hislogbook out and madesure all his paperworkwas in order.

The examiner walkedslowly around the sled.He checked the rein-deer harnesses, thelanding gear, andRudolph's nose. Hepainstakingly reviewedSanta's weight and bal-ance calculations forthe sled's enormouspayload.

Finally, they wereready for the check-ride. Santa got in, fas-tened his seatbelt andshoulder harness, andchecked the compass.Then the examinerhopped in carrying, toSanta's surprise, ashotgun.

"What's that for?"asked Santa incredulously.

The examiner winkedand said, "I'm not sup-posed to tell you this,but you're gonna losean engine on takeoff."

A Parents NightBefore ChristmasSubmitted by Thomas Hill

'Twas the night beforeChristmas when allthrough the houseI searched for the tools tohand to my spouse.Instructions were studiedand we were inspired, inhopes we could manage"Some Assembly Re-quired."

The children were quiet(not asleep) in their beds,while Dad and I faced theevening with dread.

A kitchen, two bikes, Bar-bie's town house to boot!And, thanks to Grandpa, atrain with a toot!

We opened the boxes, myheart skipped a beat... Letno parts be missing orparts incomplete!

Too late for last-minutereturns or replacement; ifwe can't get it right, itgoes in the basement!

When what to my worry-ing eyes should appear,but 50 sheets of direc-tions, concise, but notclear.

I’ve had amnesia as long as I can remember. – Uncle Andy

staple the stair! Hammerthe shelves, and nail tothe stand.""Honey," said hubby, "youjust glued my hand."

And then in a twinkling, Iknew for a fact that all thetoy dealers had indeedmade a pact, to keep par-ents busy all ChristmasEve nightWith "assembly required"till morning's first light.

We spoke not a word, butkept bent at our work, tillour eyes, they wentbleary; our fingers allhurt.

The coffee went cold andthe night, it wore thin, be-fore we attached the lastrod and last pin.

Then laying the toolsaway in the chest, we fellinto bed for a well-de-served rest.

I said to my husband justbefore I passed out, "Thiswill be the best Christ-mas, without any doubt.

Tomorrow we'll cheer, letthe holiday ring, and nothave to run to the storefor a thing!

We did it! We did it! Thetoys are all set for the perfect, most perfect,Christmas, I bet!"

Then off to dreamland andsweet repose I gratefullywent, Though I supposethere's something to sayfor those self-deluded.

I'd forgotten that batteriesare never included!

Question AnsweredSubmitted by Jimbo

Many have asked,“What is the reason forthe angel on top of theChristmas tree?”

Once upon a timeSanta was rushed toget ready for Christ-mas. He had told Mrs.Claus to wake him at 5a.m. and to have hisbreakfast ready with alunch to bring along. Healso told the elves tohave all the Christmaspresents packed in thesleigh and the reindeerharnessed by 5:30.

At 5:30 the followingmorning Santa Clausawoke and jumped outof bed furious with Mrs.Claus for NOT wakinghim up on time! Santa’smood only got worsewhen he realized Mrs.Claus had NOT fixedbreakfast or lunch!!Santa then ran out tohis sleigh only to seethat the elves had NOpresents packed andthe reindeer were run-ning wild in the pasture!

About this time a littleangel walked by drag-ging a large Christmastree. Santa tried to ignore, since he wasn’this jolly old self.

But, the angel spoke upand said, "Santa whatshould I do with thisChristmas tree?"

And that is the reasonfor the angel on top ofthe Christmas tree.

The Three SouthernWise MenSubmitted by Jimbo

I was travelling througha small Southern townwhen I spotted a "Nativity Scene" thatshowed great skill andtalent. One small fea-ture bothered methough. The three wisemen were wearing fire-men's helmets. I wastotally unable to comeup with a reason or ex-planation.

At a "Quik Stop" on theedge of town, I askedthe lady behind thecounter about the helmets. She explodedinto a rage, yelling atme, "You darn Yan-kees never do read theBible!" I assured herthat I did, but simplycouldn't recall anythingabout firemen in theBible.

She jerked her Biblefrom behind thecounter and ruffled thrusome pages, and finally jabbed her fin-ger at a passage.Sticking it in my faceshe said, "See, it saysright here,

'The three wise mencame from afar'."

At a monastery high inthe mountains, themonks have a rigidvow of silence. Only atChristmas, and only byone monk, and onlywith one sentence, isthe vow allowed to bebroken.

One Christmas,Brother Thomas is al-lowed to speak and hesays, "I like themashed potatoes wehave with the Christ-mas turkey!" and hesits down. Silence en-sues for 365 days.

The next Christmas,Brother Michael getshis turn, and he says "Ithink the mashed pota-toes are lumpy and Ihate them!"

Once again, silence for366 days (it's leapyear).

The following Christ-mas, Brother Paul risesand says, "I am fed upwith this constant bickering!"

“I wrapped my Christ-mas presents early thisyear, but I used thewrong paper. See, thepaper I used said'Happy Birthday' on it. Ididn't want to waste itso I just wrote 'Jesus'on it.”

The Meaning of Christmas

Submitted by Jimbo

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold inthe snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, howcould it be so? It came without ribbons. It camewithout tags. It came without packages, boxes

or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till hispuzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought ofsomething he hadn't before.What if Christmas, he thought,doesn't come from a store.What if Christmas, perhaps,means a little bit more.

Russian RainSubmitted by Jimbo

There once was a czar

in Russia whose name

was Rudolph the Red.

He was standing in his

house one day with his

wife. He looked out the

window and saw some-

thing happening. He

says to his wife, "Look

honey. It’s raining."

She, being the obsti-

nate type, responded,

"I don't think so, dear. I

think it’s snowing."

But Rudolph knew bet-

ter. So he says to his

wife, "Let's step out-

side and we'll find out."

Lo and behold, they

step outside and

discover it was in

fact rain.

So Rudolph turns to his

wife and replies," I

knew it was raining.

Rudolph the Red

knows rain, dear!"

I know some jokesabout unemploymentbut they need some

work.

The Yo-Yo

In the Philippines the Yo Yo was used as aweapon. It was around the year 1500. Theweapon consisted of a four pound stone at-tached to a rope about 20 feet long. Theyused the Yo Yo in two ways. When hunting,they stood off to one side, held one end of

the rope and threw the rock towards thelegs of an animal. The rope became tan-gled around the animals legs, and with atug, the hunter brought the animal down.When fighting enemies, the stones wouldbe dropped on their heads. They wouldquickly recover the stones, ready for a sec-ond blow if necessary.
