This is dedicated to all the English majors....
This might be UP (remember this word at the end) your alley!
THIS IS GREAT... took a lot of work to put together!!!
You think English is easy???
Read to the end . . . a new twist!
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language!
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple norpine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French Fries in France .
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people: Recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why when the stars are out they are visible but when the lights are out they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this...
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP'.
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP! When is rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to shut UP!
Oh . . . one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U-P!

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. OUTSTANDING.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives,
socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio- diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot
Alaskan hockey moms, Ted Nugent fans and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under
assault, we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep Dixie,The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll
practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall

Elected CDD Boad
Margot Stevens and Jake Eaton are worry about the money we have to pay the attorneys for the suit about The Repair of the Roads in Lake Ashton. But they are not worry about the Money we pay for the Landscape $250,000, Guard Security $172,000, 3 Air Conditioners replaced in the clubhouse,$53,000, Telephone Bill $900.00 (I bet you big part of the calls are from the Restaurant). Why they are not worry about these bills? because they are 100% in the Developer side. These people are sick. How in hell did they get elected? People in Lake Ashton just don't know what they are doing.

BIRTHDAY REMINDER
This July 23, we celebrate a special birthday.
Monica Lewinsky turns 37.
Can you believe it?
It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around
the White House on her hands and knees,
putting everything in her mouth.
They grow up so fast, don't they?

Social Security
The deficit commission, the group charged with balancing the nation's budget, met yesterday, and the latest news reports that Social Security is still a prime target for cuts.
I can't thank you enough for joining the more than 250,000 other activists who signed our petition – but it's critical that we collect even more signatures urging the president and Congress not to cut Social Security to fix the deficit.
Will you help by forwarding the message below to your friends and family?
It's up to us to keep the pressure on Congress so our retirement money isn't used to pay for their out-of-control spending. Please forward the message below to your friends and family today.
Thanks again for your support on this critical issue!
Did you know that some in Washington are considering unfairly targeting Social Security benefits for cuts?
Social security didn't cause the budget deficit, so our retirement shouldn't be put at risk to fix it!
I just signed AARP's petition to protect Social Security and keep it strong for generations to come. Please click below to join me – it will only take a minute.

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb
Well............
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!
Maricopa County was spending approx.
$18 million dollars a year on stray animals,
like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to
take the department over, and the County
Supervisors said okay.
The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by
prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has
prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and
behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd
like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken
stray dogs off the street, given them to the care
of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.
The best part? His budget for the entire
department is now under $3 million.
Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a
Maricopa County shelter two years ago He
was neutered, and current on all shots, in
great health, and even had a microchip
inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.
The prisoners get the benefit of
about $0..28 an hour for working, but most
would work for free, just to be out of their
cells for the day. Most of his budget is for
utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners
out of the fees collected for adopted animals..
I have long wondered when the rest of the
country would take a look at the way he runs the
jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a
huge farm, donated to the county years ago,
where inmates can work, and they grow most
of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvest in
hand.
He has a pretty good sized hog farm,
which provides meat, and fertilizer. It
fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where
prisoners work, and you can buy a living
Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays,
and plant it later... We have six trees
in our yard from the Prison.
Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again.
He painted all his buses and vehicles with a
mural, that has a special hotline phone
number painted on it, where you can call and
report suspected illegal aliens.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40
deputies trained specifically for enforcing
immigration laws, started up his hotline,
and bought 4 new buses just for hauling
folks back to the border. He's kind of a
'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH
JOE ARPAIO
HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED
OVER AND OVER THIS IS ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY:
It was Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona
who created the ' Tent City Jail':
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving
and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the
jails. Took away their weights Cut off all
but 'G' movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then He Started Chain Gangs For
Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.
He took away cable TV Until he found out
there was A Federal Court Order that Required
Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV
Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The
Weather Channel.
When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.
He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.'
More On The Arizona Sheriff:
With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In
Phoenix last summer(116 Degrees Set A New Record),
the Associated Press Reported: About
2,000 Inmates Living In A
Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At
The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given
Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued
Pink Boxer Shorts.
On a Wednesday, hundreds of men
wearing boxers were either curled up on their
bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached
138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.
Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels
As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped
Down To Their PINK SOCKS.
'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.'
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy
sheriff who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink, and
eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit
sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told
all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq
And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They
Have To Wear Full Battle Gear,
But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes, So
Shut Your Mouths!'
Way To Go, Sheriff!
Well............

utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners
out of the fees collected for adopted animals..
I have long wondered when the rest of the
country would take a look at the way he runs the
jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a
huge farm, donated to the county years ago,
where inmates can work, and they grow most
of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvest in
hand.
He has a pretty good sized hog farm,
which provides meat, and fertilizer. It
fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where
prisoners work, and you can buy a living
Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays,
and plant it later... We have six trees
in our yard from the Prison.
Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again.
He painted all his buses and vehicles with a
mural, that has a special hotline phone
number painted on it, where you can call and
report suspected illegal aliens.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40
deputies trained specifically for enforcing
immigration laws, started up his hotline,
and bought 4 new buses just for hauling
folks back to the border. He's kind of a
'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH
JOE ARPAIO
HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED
OVER AND OVER THIS IS ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY:
It was Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona
who created the ' Tent City Jail':
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving
and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the
jails. Took away their weights Cut off all
but 'G' movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then He Started Chain Gangs For
Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.
He took away cable TV Until he found out
there was A Federal Court Order that Required
Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV
Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The
Weather Channel.
When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.
He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.'
More On The Arizona Sheriff:
With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In
Phoenix last summer(116 Degrees Set A New Record),
the Associated Press Reported: About
2,000 Inmates Living In A
Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At
The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given
Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued
Pink Boxer Shorts.
On a Wednesday, hundreds of men
wearing boxers were either curled up on their
bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached
138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.
Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels
As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped
Down To Their PINK SOCKS.
'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane.'
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy
sheriff who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink, and
eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit
sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told
all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq
And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They
Have To Wear Full Battle Gear,
But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes, So
Shut Your Mouths!'
Way To Go, Sheriff!
