Practicing for a mammogram
............................................
Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there's no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam, and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared. And you can do this right in your own home!
Exercise 1:
Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds (while you hold your breath). Repeat again, in case the first time wasn't effective enough.
Exercise 2:
Visit your garage at 3 am when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the other breast.
Exercise 3:
Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next week and do it again!!
CONGRATULATIONS! Now you have nothing at all to worry about when you go for your Mammogram!
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the **** alone.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

6. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
9. Give a man a fish and he can eat two meals in a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

A well-known cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.
At that point one of the mourners burst into laughter.
When confronted, he said "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral... I'm a gynecologist."

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one has to drop off.
Otherwise they are all going to fall.
They were not able to choose that person, but then the woman made a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because as a woman she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, and for men in general, without ever getting anything in return.
As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands...
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the
woman's face was severely burned.
The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft
any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So
the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.
However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt
was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The
husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about
where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor
also honor their secret. After all, this was a very
delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded
at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than
she ever had before!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was
overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear,
I just want to thank you for everything you did for me.
There is no way I could ever repay you."
"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all
the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you
on the cheek."
A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.
They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."
They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.
On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.
There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."
A little boy went to the store with his grandmother and on the way home, he was looking at the things she had purchased. He found a package of panty hose and began to sound out the words "Queen Size."
He then turned to his grandmother and exclaimed,
"Look Granny, you wear the same size as our bed!"
I love those Zen thoughts!
