JOKE OF THE WEEK – Recently at a rather large wedding the young ring bearer was noticed to be wandering down the aisle behaving strangely. First he would switch the pillow to his left hand, paw at the air with his right hand, and growl loudly. As he approached the front of the church he switched the pillow to his right hand and pawed at the air with his left hand, again growling loudly. As he stopped before the minister the reverend bent down and quietly asked him what he was doing. Surprised he loudly informed everybody, "I am the ring bear."

SIGNS THAT YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH OF THE 90's -

You haven't played solitaire with a real deck of cards in years.

You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.

Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses.
