Well, the news is out. Congress just passed a new rule banning Yoga in the USA. After all the studies done and complaints made, Americans are not fit for Yoga. They say we are abusing our Yogi powers and there is too much money being generated and that we have totally flipped out! Here is the link to go read about it. http://www.cnn.com

GOTCHA!!! HAPPY FOOLS DAY!

Here's my funny for the special day. It IS morning here! Ladies, you might not want to let your spouse read this. :-)

The Curtain Rods

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay.

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything, cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home, including the curtain rods.

I sent that one to my sister who called me yesterday wanting a divorce and wanted to be clever about it. I feel so ashamed and guilty

What if she does just that to get the house...her poor DH

Bay Guy - we need secret weapons to defend against the effect of male hormones run amok and the trade-in-for-a-newer-model syndrome.

The curtain rod story is great!

No offense to the "nice married men," BayGuy. The "trade-in-for-a-newer-model" syndrome, as it was so eloquently put, seems to be quite popular with those not-so-nice married guys.
