**Last Christmas, Grandpa was feeling his age, and found that shopping for Christmas gifts had become too difficult.  So he decided to send checks to everyone instead.  In each card he wrote, “Buy your own present!”  and mailed them early.  He enjoyed the usual flurry of family festivities, and it was only after the holiday that he noticed that he had received very few cards in return.  Puzzled over this, he went into his study, intending to write a couple of his relatives and ask what had happened.  It was then, as he cleared off his cluttered desk that he got his answer.  Under a stack of papers, he was horrified to find the gift checks which he had forgotten to enclose with the cards.

** A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas. The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they had a lot to so, she call him on his mobile. The wife said, “Where are you, you know we have lots to do.” He said, “You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?” Little tears stared to flow down her cheek and she got all choked up… “Yes, I do remember that shop,” she replied. “Well, I am in the gun shop right next door to that.”

** An old man calls his son and says, “Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough.” “Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams. “We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” he says. “I’m sick of her face, and I’m sick of talking about this, so call your sister and tell her,” and he hangs up..
Now, the son is worried. He calls his sister. She says, “No way are they getting divorced!” She calls their father immediately. “You’re not getting divorced! Don’t do another thing! The two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, do not call a lawyer, and do not file a single paper! DO YOU HEAR ME?!” She hangs up the phone.
The old man turns to his wife and says, “Okay, they’re both coming for Christmas, and they are paying their own airfares!”

** I was walking with my 5 year old daughter. She picked something up off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the thing away from her and asked her not to do that. “Why?” she asked. “Because it’s been on the ground, and you don’t know where it’s been. It’s dirty. And it probably has germs.” At this point, my daughter looked at me with absolute admiration and asked, “Mom, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.” I thought quickly and replied, “All moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mom.” We walked along in silence for two or three minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
“Oh, I get it!” she beamed, “So if you don’t pass the test, you have to be the dad!” “Exactly,” I said.

** Three women, two younger and one senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at her questioningly. “That was my pager,” she said. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.”

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second young woman lifted her palm to her ear. When she finished, she explained, “That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.”

The older woman felt very low-tech. Not to be out done, she decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end. The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her.

The older woman finally said……..”Well, would you look at that…. I’m getting a fax!”
