AAADD - KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as we ll pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....

Fantastic!

A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a
long flight. The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that
he could get one over on him easy. So the lawyer asks if the senior
would like to play a fun game. The senior is tired and just wants to
take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun. “I ask you
a question,” he explains, “and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me
only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don’t know the answer, I will
pay you $500.”
This catches the senior’s attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. ‘What’s the distance from the
Earth to the Moon?’ The senior doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his
pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it’s the senior’s turn. He asks the lawyer, ‘What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?’
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find
on the Net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to
no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up. He wakes the
senior and hands him $500.
The senior smiles, pockets the $500, and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and says, ‘Well, so what does go up a hill with three legs and come down with four?’
The senior gives a nonchalant sigh, reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

Loved it!

So did Dave.

Abe,

I loved it more than I even knew. Dave found me reciting it in my sleep and laughing. That is a bit much!

Ann

My dad had an aunt named Helen Hunt. Once, she was in charge of the church's lost and found. One Sunday the pastor reminded the congregation about the service, saying, "So, if you have lost anything, go to Helen Hunt for it."

Your best yet, Abe.

Embarrasing Medical Exams
A man comes into the ER and yells . . .'

I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's
dress and began to take off her underwear.
Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs - - -
and I was in the wrong one.

Baby's First Doctor Visit

This made me laugh out loud.
I hope it will give you a smile!

A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the
doctor to come in for the baby's first exam.

The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a
little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.

'Breast-fed,' she replied..

'Well, strip down to your waist,' the doctor ordered.

She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts
for a while in a very professional and detailed examination.

Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said, 'No wonder this baby is
underweight. You don't have any milk.'

I know,' she said, 'I'm his Grandma, But I'm glad I came.

A pediatrician once had a father call in and say that their infant son was having digestive problems. The doctor prescribed supositories, and told the father to put one in the infant's rectum every morning.

A few days later, the father called back to say the boy was no better. The doctor asked if he was using the suppository as prescribed. The father replied, "Well, we didn't have any rectum, so we just put it in some oatmeal, but for all the good it did, we could have put it up his b**t."

I first heard that one many years ago, and told a doctor friend about it. He said, "Don't laugh. I learned the hard way that whenever I prescribe them,to make sure I include the instructions :Remove foil wrapping before inserting."

Hadn't thought of that, Ann. Think they have something in common?

A LITTLE THREE YEAR OLD BOY WAS SITTING ON THE TOILET. HIS MOTHER THOUGHT

HE HAD BEEN THERE TOO LONG, SO SHE WENT IN TO SEE WHAT HE WAS UP TO. THE

LITTLE BOY WAS SITTING ON THE TOILET READING A BOOK. ABOUT EVERY 15 SECONDS OR
SO, HE PUT THE BOOK DOWN, GRIPPED THE TOILET SEAT WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND

HIT HIMSELF ON TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH HIS RIGHT HAND.

HIS MOTHER SAID, "BILLY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU'VE BEEN IN HERE FOR A

WHILE."

BILLY SAID, "I'M FINE, MOMMY. I JUST HAVEN'T GONE POTTY YET."

HIS MOTHER SAID, "OK, YOU CAN STAY HERE A FEW MORE MINUTES. BUT BILLY, WHY

ARE YOU HITTING YOURSELF ON THE HEAD?"



BILLY SAID: "WORKS FOR KETCHUP.''

I wonder if that works.

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes.
There's no use two people remembering the same thing!

Abe, do you know why women out live men? Someone has to stay behind to clean up the mess.

And I think married men are happy because their mate keeps them that way!!

I think this plays right into your post.

I think you summed it up. "Married men are happy because thier mate keeps them that way!" Sometimes it works both ways.

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.


Umm. Depends.

My wife told me I should watch my drinking, so I installed mirrors on my bar.

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous

pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"


The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on
the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on
his ocation which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area
in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg,Germany.

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC onnected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after
a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have
exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"


The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud.


"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"


"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarterthan me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a flock of sheep. Now give me back my dog.
