   <subtitle>This site reflects Rules for the Game of Living.  It contains a collection of over 30 years worth of articles, pictures, diagrams, jokes and other materials reflecting the humor and pragmatic realities of humans living out life.  Some entries are funny, others sad and a few are just &quot;strange&quot;.           New ones are always being found, created and are welcomed for consideration to be included here. (Just submit by &quot;Posting a Comment&quot;  to any existing entry).              The common theme, or criteria, is that all entries need to contain a perspective, an aspect of, or, an insight into the realities of human beings, nature, and life in general. (The basic qualification for an item to be added to this site is that is there is at least a little bit of pragmatic TRUTH contained within it.)

THANK YOU for visiting RULES FOR THE GAME and ENJOY!  (Note: You can also group &apos;Rules&apos; entries by types and themes by clicking on a word in &quot;Tags&quot; or on one of the &quot;Categories&quot;.  This capability is available at the &apos;main index page&apos;  - just select the related &apos;link&apos;, located at the bottom of each indivdual entry page.)  </subtitle>

      Forgetter Be Forgotten?
      My forgetter&apos;s getting better, 
But my rememberer is broke 
To you that may seem funny 
But, to me, that is no joke 


For when I&apos;m &apos;here&apos; I&apos;m wondering 
If I really should be &apos;there&apos; 
And, when I try to think it through, 
I haven&apos;t got a prayer! 

Oft times I walk into a room, 
Say &quot;What am I here for?&apos; 
I wrack my brain, but all in vain! 
A zero, is my score. 

At times I put something away 
Where it is safe, but, Gee! 
The person it is safest from 
Is, generally, me! 

When shopping I may see someone, 
Say &apos;Hi&apos;&apos; and have a chat, 
Then, when the person walks away 
I ask myself, &quot;Who the hell was that?&apos; 

Yes, my forgetter&apos;s getting better 
While my rememberer is broke, 
And it&apos;s driving me plumb crazy 
And that isn&apos;t any joke. 

CAN YOU RELATE??? 

Please send this to everyone you know 
because 
I DON&apos;T REMEMBER - WHO I sent this TO!

      A few bits of wisdom (&amp; a couple of funnys)
      The squeaky wheel doesn&apos;t always get the grease, sometimes it just gets replaced.

Don&apos;t try to always have the last word, you might just get it.

A good slogan can stop analysis, and forward progress, for fifty years.

If we learn by our mistakes, some of us are getting one great eduacation.

It is incredible how much intelligence is used in this world to prove nonsense.

Four-wheel drive just means getting stuck in more inaccessible places.

------- Funnys ---------

- What do you get if you cross a pig with a dinosaur?  Jurassic Pork.

- Why was there thunder and lightening in the lab?  The scientists were brainstorming.

      This is an actual job application a 17 year old boy submitted at a McDonald&apos;s fast-food establishment in Florida........and they hired him because he was so honest and funny!
      NAME: Greg Bulmash

SEX:  Not yet.  Still waiting for the right person.

DESIRED POSITION:  Company&apos;s President or Vice President.  But seriously, whatever&apos;s available.  If I were in a position to be picky, I wouldn&apos;t be applying here in the first place.

DESIRED SALARY:  $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package.  If that&apos;s not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.

EDUCATION:  Yes.

LAST POSITION HELD:  Target of middle management hostility.

SALARY:  Less than I&apos;m worth.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT:  My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

REASON FOR LEAVING:  It sucked.

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK:  Any.

PREFERRED HOURS:  1:30-3:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?  Yes, but they&apos;re better suited to a more intimate environment.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER? If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS?  50 lbs. of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?  I think the more appropriate question here would be &quot;Do you have a car that runs?&quot;

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION? I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.

DO YOU SMOKE?  On the job, NO. On my breaks, YES.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde super model who thinks I&apos;m the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Actually, I&apos;d like to be doing that now.

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?  Yes.  Absolutely.

SIGN HERE:  Aries.

      Dear All: This information is definitely for those who know!
      AMEN:  The only part of a prayer that everyone knows. 
   
BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass. 
   
CHOIR:  A group of people whose singing allows the rest of the Parish to lip-sync. 
   
HOLY WATER: A liquid whose chemical formula is H2OLY.

INCENSE:  Holy Smoke! 
   
JESUITS:  An order of priests known for their ability to find colleges with good basketball teams. 
   
JONAH:  The original &apos;Jaws&apos; story.   
 
JUSTICE:  When kids have kids of their own   
 
KYRIE ELEISON:  The only Greek words that most Catholics can recognize, besides gyros and baklava. (For you non-Catholics it means ‘Lord have mercy’) 
   
MAGI:  The most famous trio to attend a baby shower. 
   
MANGER:  Where Mary gave birth to Jesus because Joseph wasn’t covered by an HMO. (The Bible&apos;s way of showing us that holiday travel has always been rough.)

PROCESSION:  The ceremonial formation at the beginning of Mass consisting of altar servers, the celebrant, and late parishioners looking for seats.

Also ----- Here is a little known fact about the Catholic Church in Las Vegas: 
 
- There are more churches in Las Vegas than casinos.

During Sunday services at the offertory, some worshippers contribute casino chips as opposed to cash. Some are sharing their winnings - some are hoping to win. Since there are chips from so many different casinos, and those chips are worth money, the Catholic churches are required to send all the chips into the diocese for sorting. Once sorted into the respective casino chips, one junior priest takes the chips and makes the rounds to the casinos to turn those chips into cash. 

And that priest, 

of course, 

is known as,

      <![CDATA[1. The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are "XL". 
2. When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells: "Theirs".   
3. About Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
4. The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
5. Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
6. When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
7. You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. 
8. One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
9. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
10. First you forget names.  Then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. (However, it is worse when you forget to pull it down.)
11. Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.  Today, it's called golf

      - 20 little bits of wisdom for consideration 
      


1. I think part of a best friend&apos;s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.


2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you&apos;re wrong. 


3. I totally take back all those times I didn&apos;t want to nap when I was younger. 


4. There is great need for a sarcasm font. 


5. How the are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? 


6. Was learning cursive really necessary? 


7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5 I&apos;m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 


8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. 


9. I can&apos;t remember the last time I wasn&apos;t at least kind of tired. 


10. Bad decisions make good stories. 


11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren&apos;t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. 

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don&apos;t want to have to restart my collection...again. 


13. I&apos;m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes - to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to. 


14. &quot;Do not machine wash or tumble dry&quot; means I will never wash this thing I have-- ever. 


15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What&apos;d you do after I didn&apos;t answer? Drop the phone and run away? 


16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. 


17. I keep some people&apos;s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. 


18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day &quot;Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?&quot; How the hell do I respond to that? 


19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. 


20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet, on any given Friday or Saturday night, more kisses begin with Bud Light than with a Kay jewelry product.

      Just because someone doesn&apos;t love you the way you want them to, doesn&apos;t mean they don&apos;t love you with all they have.
      Ralph and Enda were both patients in a mental hospital.  One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end, sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him.  She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna&apos;s heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged form the hospital, as she now considered Edna to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news, she said, &apos;Edna, I have good news and bad news for you.  The good news is, you are being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him.  I am so sorry, but he is dead.&apos;

Edna replied; &apos;He didn&apos;t hang himself.  I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?&apos; 

Happy Mental Health Day!

      A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road.
He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

      <![CDATA[The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is DEAD .

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.


A beautiful blonde woman (of course she is a blonde) driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.


"I feel terrible," ! he explains, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM."

The blonde says,"Don't worry."  She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.  She walks over to the limp, dead  Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents onto him.


The  Easter Bunny  jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves,

and repeats this again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands,

"What is in that can?  What did you spray on the Easter Bunny ?"

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.



It says..

      Unfortunately, this one is a little truer than not - sometimes . . . . . Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.    However, in the United States government - - - - -  
      it seems that way too many other strategies are used to revive or keep &quot;dead horse&quot; programs and pork barrel funding initiatives alive,  including the following:

1.   Buying a stronger whip.
2.   Changing riders.
3.   Saying things like &quot;This is the way we always have ridden this horse.&quot;
4.   Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5.   Arranging to visit other government sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6.   Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7.   Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
8.   Creating a training session to increase dead horse riding ability.
9.   Comparing the state of dead horses in today&apos;s environment.
10.  Changing the requirements and regulations to declare that &quot;This horse is not dead.&quot;
11.  Hiring contractors to ride the dead horse.
12.  Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13.  Declaring that &quot;No horse is too dead to beat.&quot;
14.  Providing additional funding to increase the horse&apos;s performance.
15.  Doing an A-76 (competitive sourcing) study to see if contractors or another government agency can ride it cheaper.
16.  Purchasing a product to make dead horses run faster.
17.  Declaring the horse is &quot;better, faster and cheaper&quot; dead.
18.  Forming a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
19.  Revisiting (and then revising) the original performance requirements for horses.
20.  Saying this particular horse was procured with cost as an independent, non-significant variable.

---- and ---- if all else fails -----
 
21.  Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

      Art Linkletter was right --- Kids do say the darndest things.  
      1) NUDITY   I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, &apos;Mom, that lady isn&apos;t wearing a seat belt!&apos; 
 
2) OPINIONS    On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, &apos;The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.&apos; 
 
3) KETCHUP    A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. &apos;Mommy can&apos;t come to the phone to talk to you right now. She&apos;s hitting the bottle.&apos; 
 
4) MORE NUDITY     A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women&apos;s locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, &apos;What&apos;s the matter, haven&apos;t you ever seen a little boy before?&apos; 
 
5 ) POLICE # 1   While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, &apos;Are you a cop? Yes,&apos; I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?&apos; &apos;Yes, that&apos;s right,&apos; I told her. &apos;Well, then,&apos; she said as she extended her foot toward me, &apos;would you please tie my shoe?&apos; 
 
6) POLICE # 2    It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. &apos;Is that a dog you got back there?&apos; he asked. &apos;It sure is,&apos; I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, &apos;What &apos;d he do?&apos; 
 
7) ELDERLY     While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, &apos;The tooth fairy will never believe this!&apos;

8) DRESS-UP   A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, &apos;Daddy, you shouldn&apos;t wear that suit.&apos; &apos;And why not, darling?&apos; &apos;You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.&apos;

9) DEATH    While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister&apos;s son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: &apos;Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.&apos; (I want this line used at my funeral!)

10) SCHOOL   A little girl had just finished her first week of school. &apos;I&apos;m just wasting my time,&apos; she said to her mother. &apos;I can&apos;t read, I can&apos;t write, and they won&apos;t let me talk!&apos;

11) BIBLE    A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. &apos;Mama, look what I found,&apos; the boy called out. &apos;What have you got there, dear?&apos;  With astonishment in the young boy&apos;s voice, he answered, &apos;I think it&apos;s Adam&apos;s underwear!&apos;

      <![CDATA[If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, <u>Who's on First?</u> might have turned out something like this: 
 
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT 
 
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? 
 
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: What about Windows? 
 
CO STELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here? 
 
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper. 
 
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software. 
 
ABBOTT: Software for Windows? 
 
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business.? What do you have? 
 
ABBOTT: Office. 
 
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

COSTELLO: What word? 
 
ABBOTT: Word in Office. 
 
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office. 
 
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows. 
 
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows? 
 
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue W. 
 
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue w if you don't start with some straight answers.? What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with? 
 
ABBOTT: Money. 
 
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money. 
 
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer? 
 
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge. 
 
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

      Dear Wife:   I&apos;m writing you this letter to tell you that I&apos;m leaving you forever. I&apos;ve been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. 
      These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw.   Last week, you came home and didn&apos;t even notice that I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don&apos;t tell me you love me anymore; you don&apos;t want sex or anything that connects us as husband and wife. Either you&apos;re cheating on me or you don&apos;t love me anymore; whatever the case, I&apos;m gone. 

Your EX-Husband

P.S. don&apos;t try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life! 


_____________________________________________________________________________     


Dear Ex-Husband 

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It&apos;s true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you&apos;ve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn&apos;t work. I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the first thing that came to mind was &apos;You look just like a girl!&apos; Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can&apos;t say something nice, I didn&apos;t comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.   

About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, and I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out.   

So when I hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica, however,  when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted.   

By the way, my lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won&apos;t get a dime from me. So take care. 

Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell and Free! 

P.S. I don&apos;t know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl.   I hope that&apos;s not a problem.
