While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience. Seeing God, she asked "Is my time up?"

God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live and ride your motorcycle."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?"


(You'll love this)



God replied: "I didn't recognize you."]]>Humor ... the lighter side - Saving faceCash Anthonyhttp://www.msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12160Humor ... the lighter side Sun, 15 Aug 2010 13:08:29 -0500http://www.msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12160

"Did you hit him with that five iron?"

When I was in my mid teens one summer I worked as an unpaid assistant to my uncle who was a carpenter. My first day he gave me some measurements and asked me to cut a piece for him. When I proudly returned he measured the piece and went spastic. He tore me apart. He rejected it explaining that it was 1/16 inch too short. I pretty much told him it was good enough. I will summarize his long harsh life lesson to me by saying that put 16 similarly flawed pieces together and at the end of the run you are an inch short and you have an unacceptable end result. Carpentry is not my line of work but by the end of that summer I shared his pride in perfection and his admiration of the craftsmanship of others. If he had built your cabinets people would have thought you built the walls around them.

It will not only leak out of your engine faster than you can put it in, but it will also cause your oil filter to clog and implode, dumping debris and dirt into your lubrication system. It also will make every part of your bike permanently slippery because of its linear molecular chain dispersion action.
Then it will leak onto your kickstand causing it to retract automatically, dropping your bike on the ground! But that's not all...
Synthetic oil will round off your gears and spin your bearings. It will also splatter onto your seat causing your girlfriend to fall off in the apex of a turn and she'll never ride with you again. Synthetic oil coats your sight window and your timing window with a whitish
pro-emulsification additive that is both non-removable and highly corrosive. Synthetic oil will completely leak onto the ground overnight and your dog will drink it and die.
Synthetic oil will wear out your tires and make your battery leak. It will give you the desperate need to urinate after you put your full leathers on and then jam your zippers shut. It will contaminate your gasoline causing your bike to stall on railroad tracks and accelerate uncontrollably near police cars. It will make it rain during rallies and on weekends. It will lubricate your timing belts causing them to jump teeth and break your valves to bits. Synthetic oil chemically weakens desmodromic valves and causes the clearances to change every six miles. Then it melts the black soles of your riding boots right before you walk across your new carpeting.
While riding past groups of attractive women it will cause both of your handlebar grips to slip off at the same time so you smash your windscreen with the bridge of your nose. It also causes your swingarm to crack, your studs to break, and your rotors to warp, and then it voids your warranty by changing your odometer reading to 55,555. It
also dries out your wetclutch and wets your dryclutch. It makes your clutch slave cylinder seal fail in the heaviest traffic on the hottest day of the year while putting an angry wasp in your helmet for good measure.
Synthetic oil hides your 13mm socket and puts superglue on your earplugs. Synthetic oil will scratch your faceshield and make your gloves shrink two sizes night before trackday. Synthetic oil stole your neutral and sold it to the Chinese for $1.25. Synthetic oil will make you grow a tail.

This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and "flipped" the woman off.

"Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself.

I always smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why:

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work.

That's 96 miles each day.

Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper.

Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway.

There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles.

That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.

Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars.

That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day.

Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women drivers!

In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has P.M.S. That's 642.

According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding.

That's 449.

According to the National Institutes of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide.

That's 98.

And 34% describe men as their biggest problem.

That's 33.

According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons, and this number is increasing. That means that Every Single Day, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has P.M.S., and is armed.

Flip one off?

This would involve training and equipping a reliable service department, among a multitude of other things.

In my area, we have two principal motorcycle dealers, neither handle only one brand of motorcycle and neither handle motorcycles only.

At either dealership, you can purchase everything from generators, bicycles, motorcycles, sea-doos, ATV's, boats and motors, basically anything considered recreational.

In order to maintain the franchises on the various products, they are required to maintain a certain floor plan and qualifications relating to service of the related products.

In today's market place, I think we will find more dealerships of this nature diversifying in an effort to stay afloat.

The place I bought my most recent motorcycle was a fruit and vegetable stand in the Annapolis Valley. Henny Penny's Fruits and Vegetables/Used Cars/Used Harleys.

The waitress asks them for their orders.

The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a Coke." He turns to the ostrich and asks, "What's yours?"

"I'll have the same," says the ostrich.

A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40, please."

The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again. The man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and a Coke."

The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."

Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

This becomes a daily routine. Finally, one day the two enter again. "The usual?" asks the waitress.

"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad," says the man.

"Same for me," says the ostrich.

Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62."

Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?"

"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."

"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would ask for a million dollars or something like that, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"

"That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man.

Then the waitress asks, "So what's with the ostrich?"

The man sighs. He answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say..."
