Eleven Minutes A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known spot. He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing. The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver's window. The young man lowers his window. "Uh, yes, officer?" The cop says "What are you doing?" The young man says "Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine." Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: "And her, what is she doing?" The young man shrugs "Sir, I believe she's knitting a pullover sweater." Now, the cop is totally confused. A young couple. Alone, in a car, at night in a lover's lane ... and one is reading a magazine, the other knitting a sweater? The cop asks "What's your age, young man?" The young man says "I'm 22, sir." The cop asks "And her .. what's her age?" The young man looks at his watch and replies: "She'll be 18 in eleven minutes." Visit Nancy at www.belovedembroidery.com.

While attending a marriage seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened attentively to the instructor and he told them "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."

Weigh yourself with clothes on after dinner ... and without clothes in the morning, before breakfast. It's nice to see how much weight you've lost overnight.
Never weigh yourself with wet hair.
Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because they are always five pounds off...to your advantage.
Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter.
Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale (that air has to weigh something, right?).
Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other foot on and slowly let off of the rack. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally.
Pentagon investigators discovered in August that a small South Carolina company fraudulently collected $20.5 million in shipping costs, including one invoice of $999,798 for sending two washers (cost: 19 cents each) to a base in Texas. According to Bloomberg News, the Defense Department was said to have a policy of automatically and unquestioningly paying shipping bills labeled "priority."
