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.

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.

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.”

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

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.
