Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit,
my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral

OLD ITALIAN LADIES ~OR~ Rule 5 Woodsterman Style
These four older ladies who lived in Italy
always sat outside together near the church
and chatted about when they were younger.
One month ago they pooled their money together
and bought a laptop.
always sat outside together near the church
and chatted about when they were younger.
One month ago they pooled their money together
and bought a laptop.
Never having been, but having heard all about Florida,
They just happened to click on St. Augustine, FL.
They read about the "Fountain of Youth" claimed by
the Spaniards when they arrived there.
They collected up all they had left and sent for four
bottles of the water. As soon as it arrived, they drank as directed.
The rest of this story will make you a believer, because

You drive this car with a joystick
Do you think that you
can drive with a joystick?
Your kids and grand kids can.
The influence of video games in our lives
has really arrived, wouldn't you say?
But there is more!
The SCARY THOUGHT is:
NOW a 3-YEAR-OLD can STEAL your car

We Greybeards Have Destroyed The Planet
Checking out at the supermarket, the young cashier suggested to the
much older man, that he should bring his own grocery bags because
Plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
much older man, that he should bring his own grocery bags because
Plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
Woodsterman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this 'green
thing' back in my earlier days."
The young cashier responded, "That's our problem today - your
generation did not care enough to save our environment for future
generations."
She was right -- our generation didn't have the 'green thing' in its
day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, lemonade bottles and beer
bottles to the shop. The shop sent them back to the plant to be washed
and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and
over. So they really were recycled.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
Grocery shops bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we re-
used for numerous things, most memorable besides household bags for
rubbish, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our
schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property (the books
provided for our use by the school), was not defaced by our
scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown
paper bags.
But too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have a lift in every
supermarket, shop and office building. We walked to the local shop and
didn't climb into a 300 horsepower machine every time we had to go half
a mile.
But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's Terry Towel nappies because we didn't
have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-
gobbling machine burning up 3 kilowatts wind and solar power really did
dry our clothes back in our early days.. Kids had hand-me-down clothes
from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back
in our day
Back then, we had one radio or TV in the house - not a TV in every
room and the TV had a small screen the size of a big handkerchief
(remember them?), not a screen the size of Scotland In the kitchen. We
blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to
do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the
mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or
plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn
petrol just to cut the lawn. We pushed the mower that ran on human
power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club
to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
We drank from a tap or fountain when we were thirsty instead of using
a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We
refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we
replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole
razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.
Back then, people took the bus and kids rode their bikes to school or
walked instead of turning their Mums into a 24-hour taxi service in the
family's 50,000 People Carrier which cost the same as a whole house
did before the "green thing." We had one electrical outlet in a room,
not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances and we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find

But isn't it sad that the current generation laments how wasteful we
old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back
then?
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a
lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person...

We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much
to piss us off...especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smart ass
who can't work out the change without the cash register telling them how much it is!

Flight Attendants ~OR~ Rule 5 Woodsterman Style
Love those Southwest Flight Attendants!
A mother and her young son were flying
Southwest Airlines from
Kansas City to Chicago.
The little boy had been looking out of the
window.
He turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs
have baby
dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why
don't big planes have baby
planes?"
The mother couldn't think of an answer.
She told her son to ask the flight attendant.
He
went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant,
"If big dogs have
baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats,
why don't big planes have baby
planes?"
The busy flight attendant smiled and asked the boy,
"Did your mother tell you to ask me?" The boy replied,
"Yes, she did."
"Well,"
said the flight attendant, "you go and tell your
mother that there are
no baby planes because Southwest
always pulls out on time.
Have your
mother explain that to you."

Onions and Christmas Trees
A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father,
"Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?"

The father, surprised, answers, "Well, son, there are
three kinds of
boobs. In her 20s, a woman's are like
melons, round and firm. In her
30s to 40s, they are
like pears, still nice but hanging a bit.
After
50, they are like onions."
"Onions?"
"Yes, you see them and they make you cry."
This infuriated his wife and daughter so the
"Onions?"
"Yes, you see them and they make you cry."
This infuriated his wife and daughter so the
daughter said, "Mum, how many kinds of "willies"
are there?"
The
mother, surprised, smiles and answers,
"Well, dear, a man goes through
three phases.
In his 20's, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and
hard.
In his 30s and 40s, it is like a birch, flexible but reliable.
After his 50s, it is like a Christmas tree."
"A Christmas tree?"
"Yes. The tree is dead, and the balls are just for decoration."
"A Christmas tree?"
"Yes. The tree is dead, and the balls are just for decoration."

Little Johny Has A Sister
OH No !!! He has a sister ??
Little Sally came home from school with a smile on her face and told her mother,
"Frankie Brown showed me his willy today in the playground!"
Before her mother could raise a concern,
Sally said, "It reminded me of a peanut.."
Relaxing with a hidden smile, Sally's Mum asked,
"Really small, was it?"
Sally replied, "No... Salty."
