Ebbie Ebony dalam ambisinya memotreti pelosok cantik dan budaya dari
seluruh propinsi ditanah air, ada seribuan lokasi sudah didatanginya.

acara taping yang memang sangat menarik, walaupun lelah (jam 5 sore
sudah diminta tiba, jam 18.30 baru dipersilahkan memasuki GrandStudio,
acara dimulai jam 19.00 dan baru usai sekitar jam 21.30) tapi semua
kelihatan gembira dan puas.

Prostate check-up.

 

Prostate check-up... An old guy goes to his doctor for his medical check up and gets sent to the Urologist as a precaution. When he gets there, he discovers the Urologist is a very pretty female doctor. The female doctor says, "I'm going to check your prostate today, but this new procedure is a little different from what you are probably used to. I want you to lie on your right side, bend your knees, then while I check your prostate, take a deep breath and say, '99'. The old guy obeys and says,"99". The doctor says, "Great". Now turn over on your left side and again, while I repeat the check, take a deep breath and say, '99". Again, the old guy says, '99'." The doctor said, Very good. Now then, I want you to lie on your back with your knees raised slightly. I'm going to check your prostate with this hand, and with the other hand I'm going to hold on to your penis to keep it out of the way. Now take a deep breath and say, '99'. The old guy begins, "One ... Two ... Three" ... You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing!!!

Jokes : "What is the fastest thing you know?"

A  Indian  applies for a Job at Wal-Mart.
An office manager at Wal-Mart was given the task of hiring  an  individual to fill a job opening.

After sorting through a  stack  of resumes he found four people who were equally   qualified --  an American, a Russian, an Australian  and  a  Indian

He decided to call the four in and ask them  only  one question. Their answer would determine who of them  would  get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around  the  conference room table the  interviewer  asked,
"What is the fastest thing  you know?"

Dave, the  American, replied,  "A THOUGHT. It just pops into your  head.  There's no warning that it's on the way;  it's just there.  A  thought is the fastest thing I know of."

"That's very good!" replied  the interviewer.

"And now you sir?" he asked Vladimir , the  Russian.  
"Hmm.... let me see. A blink!  It comes and goes and you  don't  know that it ever happened.  A BLINK is the fastest  thing I know."

"Excellent!" said the interviewer.  "The blink of  an eye, that's  a very popular clich for speed."
He then turned  to George,  the Australian who was contemplating his reply. 

"Well, out at my dad's ranch,  you step out of the   house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that   switch, way out across the pasture the light in the barn comes on. Yep,  TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of."
The  interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had  found his man.  "It's hard to beat the speed of light" he  said.

Turning to  Patel , the  Indian , the fourth and final  man, the interviewer posed the same question.  
Patel replied, "Apter herring da 3 preybyus ansers sir, et's  obyus to me dat the fastest thing is DIARRHEA."

"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response. The others  were  already giggling in their seats...
"Oh, I can expleyn  sir," said  Patel .  " You see, sir, da ader day my tummy was  peeling bad and so I run so fast to the  batrum, but before I could  THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had alreydi done it in my  pants!"

Patel  is now the new "Greeter" at
Wal-Mart.

10 CARA UNTUK HIDUP BAHAGIA

Pas bongkar2 e-mail lama ketemu 10 Cara Hidup Bahagia,
lupa dari mana sumbernya, ada yang tahu ?


10 CARA UNTUK HIDUP BAHAGIA
 
1. LEPASKANLAH DARI KEKUATIRAN DAN KETAKUTAN.

Kekuatiran dan ketakutan hanyalah imajinasi pikiran akan 
suatu kejadian di masa depan yang belum tentu terjadi, 
kebanyakan hal-hal yang engkau kuatirkan dan takutkan 
tak pernah terjadi!
Itu hanya imajinasi pikiranmu.
 
2. BUANGLAH DENDAM DAN AMARAH.

Dendam dan amarah yang disimpan hanya akan menyedot energi 
dirimu dan hanya mendatangkan kelelahan jiwa. BUANGLAH!
 
3. BERHENTILAH MENGELUH.

Mengeluh berarti selalu tak menerima apa yang ada saat ini, 
secara tak sadar engkau membawa-bawa beban negatif.
 
4. BILA ADA MASALAH, SELESAIKAN SATU PERSATU.

Hanya inilah cara menangani setiap persoalan satu demi satu.
 
5. TIDURLAH DENGAN NYENYAK.

Semua masalah tak perlu dibawa tidur. 
Hal tersebut buruk dan tak sehat, biasakanlah tidur dengan nyaman.
 
6. JAUHI URUSAN ORANG LAIN.

Biarkan masalah orang lain menjadi urusan mereka sendiri. 
Mereka memiliki cara sendiri untuk menangani setiap masalahnya.
 
7. HIDUPLAH PADA SAAT INI, BUKAN MASA LALU.

Nikmati masa lalu sebagai kenangan, jangan tergantung padanya.
Konsentrasilah dg hidupmu pada kejadian saat ini, karena apa 
yang engkau miliki adalah saat ini, bukan kemarin, bukan besok.
 
8. JADILAH PENDENGAR YANG BAIK.

Saat menjadi pendengar, engkau belajar dan mendapatkan 
ide-ide baru dari orang lain.
 
9.BERPIKIRLAH POSITIF.

Rasa frustrasi datang dari pikiran negatif, kembalilah berpikir 
positif. Bertemanlah dengan orang-orang yang berpikiran positif 
dan terlibatlah dengan kegiatan-kegiatan positif.
 
10. BERSYUKURLAH.

Bersyukurlah atas hal-hal kecil yang akan membawa engkau pada 
hal-hal besar.
Sekecil apapun karunia yang kau terima, akan menghasilkan hal-hal 
besar dan selalu membawa engkau kepada Kebahagiaan saat engkau 
bersyukur.

The age gap

The age gap

At 85 years of age, Roger married Jenny, a lovely 25 years old. 

Since her new husband is so old, Jenny decides that after their wedding
she and Roger should have separate bedrooms, because she is concerned
that her new but aged husband may over-exert himself if they spend the
entire night together.

After the wedding festivities Jenny prepares herself for bed and
the expected 'knock' on the door.
Sure enough the knock comes, the door opens and there is Roger,
her 85 year old groom, ready for action.
They unite as one. All goes well, Roger takes leave of his bride,
and she prepares to go to sleep.

After a few minutes, Jenny hears another knock on her bedroom door,
and it's Roger.  Again he is ready for more 'action'.
Somewhat surprised, Jenny  consents for more coupling.
When the newly weds are done, Roger kisses his bride, bids her a fond
good night and leaves.

She is set to go to sleep again, but, aha you guessed it - Roger is
back again, rapping on the door, and is as fresh as a 25-year-old,
ready or more 'action'. And, once more they enjoy each other.

But as Roger gets set to leave again, his young bride says to him,
'I am thoroughly impressed that at your age you can perform so well and
so often. I have been with guys less than a third of your age who were only
good once. You are truly a great lover, Roger.' 

Roger, somewhat embarrassed, turns to Jenny and says:
 'You mean I've been in here already?' 

The moral of the story:

Don't be afraid of getting old, Alzheimer's has its advantages.

PS.   Have I sent this to you before??
