Why is PMS called PMS? because Mad Cow Disease was taken. The way government works: Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C.. One from New Jersey , another from Tennessee and the third, Florida . They go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Florida contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me." The New Jersey contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The New Jersey contractor whispers back, "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence." "Done!" replies the government official. Food for Thought - If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented? - If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland called, "Holes"? - If you mixed vodka with orange juice and milk of magnesia, would you get a Phillip's Screwdriver? - If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? - If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? - When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts," and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny? - Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? - Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to begin with. - Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car not called a racist? - Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? - Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things? - If horrific means to make horrible, doesn't terrific mean to make terrible? - Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? - "I am." is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I Do." is the longest sentence? - Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"? - Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
