The other day, I needed to go to the emergency room.

Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my old Army fatigues and stuck a patch onto the front of my shirt that I had downloaded off the Internet.

When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren’t that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time.

Here’s the patch. Feel free to use it the next time you’re in need of quicker emergency service.

It also works at DMV and the Laundromat.

Don’t try it at McDonald’s, the whole crew will exit and you’ll never get your order.

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one’s life.

Crucial because of recent abductions
in daylight hours,refresh yourself
of these things to do
in an emergency situation…
This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
everyone you know.
After reading these 9 crucial tips ,
forward them to someone you care about
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in

1 Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow is the strongest point
on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans

If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM Toss it away from you….
chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go
for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy.

The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,
eating, working, etc, and just sit (doing their checkbook,
or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS!)

The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity
for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone is in the car
with a gun to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything,
wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5 A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat

B..) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door .
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans
while the women are attempting
to get into their cars.

C..) Look at the car
parked on the driver’s side
of your vehicle,
and the passenger side.
If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car,
you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work,
and get a guard/policeman
to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are horrible places
to be alone and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN!

The predator will only hit you
(a running target) 4 in 100 times;
And even then, it most likely
WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably! in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic: STOP

It may get you raped,
or killed.
Ted Bundy,
the serial killer,
was a good-looking,
well educated man,
who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies
of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane,
or a limp,
and often asked
“for help”
into his vehicle
or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.

************* Here it is *******

9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.

The police told her “Whatever you do,
DO NOT open the door.” The lady
then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street
and get run over. The policeman said,
“We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.”
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby’s cries outside their doors
when they’re home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT
open the door for a crying baby —-
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on
America ‘s Most Wanted this past Saturday
when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

I’d like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed
by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives,
sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to
pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded
that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it
and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Be ye fishers of men. You catch them, He’ll clean them.

George Phillips, an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?”

He said “No,” but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.

Then the police dispatcher said “All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”

George said, “Okay.”

He hung up the phone and counted to 30.

Then he phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed.. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot them.” and he hung up.
Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

(True Story) I LOVE IT! Don’t mess with old people

Live well, laugh often, love much !!!

WHO KNEW THIS???

I have been driving for nearly 50 years… I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time… I didn’t ..and I bet you didn’t either…

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered….mmm, which side is the gas filler cap? My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car! Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.

If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump?

The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump?
If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo below). It is that simple!

Don’ t feel dumb, just go out and share the world’s best kept auto secret with your friends.

1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

2. Avoid arguments with the females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.

3. For high blood pressure sufferers – simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.

4. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent your from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

5. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you’ll be too afraid to cough.

6. You only need two tools in life – WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape.

7. If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.

Daily thought: Some people are like slinkies – not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
