Oh how I wish I were American so I could vote for anyone BUT Sanjaya on American Idol! If he wins the show, I’ll have to stick a needle in my eye.

Here’s another email I received that involves kids answering questions. It’s similar to this one I posted awhile ago, but I think this one is even better.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
– Alan, age 10

(2) No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
– Kirsten, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
– Camille, age 10

(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
– Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
– Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don’t want any more kids.
– Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
– Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure)

(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
– Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
– Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they’re rich.
– Pam, age 7

(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that.
– Curt, age 7

(3) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.
– Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

(1) I don’t know which is better, but I’ll tell you one thing. I’m never going to have sex with my wife. I don’t want to be all grossed out.
– Theodore, age 8

(2) It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
– Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN’T GET MARRIED?

(1) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?
– Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is……..

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

(1) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
– Ricky, age 10

This is for those of us with enough…maturity to understand.

15 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN by Dave Barry

1.) Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2.) If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be meetings.

3.) There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

4.) People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5.) You should not confuse your career with your life.

6.) Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

7.) Never lick a steak knife.

8.) The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9.) You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10.) You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11.) There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12.) The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, eligion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13.) A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice
person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14.) Your friends love you anyway.

15.) Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

FINAL thought for the day: Men are like a fine wine. They start out as
grapes, and it’s up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Here’s another email I received awhile ago. Some people might find these images offensive, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

OK people! If you watched the Oprah Oscar Special, then you’d know that George Clooney was clearly joking when he ‘admitted’ to Julia Roberts about having his ‘eyes done’.

She asked him if he’s ever had any plastic surgery, and he said he had his eyes done and proceeded to ask her if he looked ‘awake’. If you’ve ever seen George Clooney in anything other than his movies or television appearances, you’d know that he has a really cool sense of humor and he’s always joking around.

This was another case of him joking around. He did not, I repeat DID NOT, have plastic surgery.

So all these gossip and plastic surgery blogs can stop posting before and after pictures that look the same. And stop taking everything so literally. Celebrities are allowed to joke around once in awhile.

If you have 8 minutes of spare time, watch this video. Even if you don’t have 8 minutes, you still need to watch it if you want the best laugh of your life. I almost pissed myself and my entire head hurts from laughing so hard.

I just love reading emails about funny answers kids have given to certain questions. They have such a cool outlook on things, although sometimes it seems like sometimes an adult may have made up the answers to make it sound like a kid…..anyway, here’s one of them. You can decide for yourself.
