I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. The transfer is not paying off. Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million y

Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,

from Brooklyn decided to
prepare her will and make her final requests.
She told her rabbi
she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be
cremated, and
second, she wanted her ashes scattered over
Bloomingdales.
"Bloomingdales!" the rabbi exclaimed. "Why Bloomingdales?"
"Then
I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."

Worried because
they hadn't heard
anything for days from the widow in the neighboring
apartment, Mrs. Silver
said to her son, "Timmy, would you go next door
and see how old
Mrs. Kirkland is?"
A few minutes later, Timmy
returned.
"Well," asked Mrs. Silver, "is she all right?"
"She's fine, except
that she's angry at you."
"At me?" the woman exclaimed.
"Whatever for?"
"She said 'It's none of your business how old she
is,'" snickered
Timmy.

There was an old man
whose family could no
longer afford to take care of him. So the family
decided that a
nusring for the aged would be appropriate.
Of course the old man
rejected the idea, but no sooner he was convinced
that it was the
right thing to do. On his first day at the home, he
spent most of his
time laying in bed reflecting on life, feeling lonely. A
while
later, an orderly stopped by to seee how the old man's first day
was
going.
"How you doing today?", she said to the old man, "First
day I see".
The Old man replied with a nod.
In no time the
two began talking up a storm. As the conversation began
to drag on,
the orderly was eyeing the room filled with fresh flowers,
cards
and balloons from friends and relatives. She noticed a bowl full
of
peanuts sitting on top of the table next to the bed, and help
herself to a handful.
As the two continued to converse with eac
h other, the orderly kept
eating more helpings of the peanuts. She
look at her watch and noticed that
nearly 2 hours had passed and
said, "My goodness, the time has gone by
quickly. I have to tend to
other people here too." "That's okay.",
said the old man, "I feel
so much better being able to talk to
someone." Looking into the bowl
the orderly said, "I feel awful! I ate
almost all of your peanuts!"
The old man responded, "That's okay. Ever
since I got these false
teeth, all I could do was suck the chocolate off
of them
anyhow."

A small town prosecuting attorney called his
first witness to the stand in a trial--a grandmotherly, elderly
woman. He
approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known
you
since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate
people and
talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a
rising big shot
when you haven't the brains to realize you never
will amount to
anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know
you."
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he
pointed across
the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the
defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known
Mr. Bradley since he
was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him
for his parents. And he,too,
has been a real disappointment to
me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a
drinking problem. The man can't
build a normal relationship with anyone
and his law practice is one
of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I
know him."
At
this point the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both
counselors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace,
"If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be in jail for
contempt within 5 minutes!"
