By following simple advice I heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and never finished.'

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning,

I finished off 23 Buds, a bottle of Absolut, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel.

Ahhhhhhhh Yes.......Buds then the munchies!

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a
neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved
by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his
freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur
would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he
still had no answer, he would be put to death

The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would
perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it
seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he
accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess,
the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with
everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would
have the answer.

But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the
kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk
to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to
agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the
Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only
one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had
never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a
terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with
Arthur.

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life
and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's
question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her
own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a
great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and
Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a
horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited
him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the
bed.. The astounded

Lancelot asked what had happened

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she
appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed
self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman
to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his
castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch
during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy
wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you
scroll down below. OKAY?






Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice
herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the
time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of
her own life.

Now ...what is the moral to this story?
Scroll down ...........

The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!' Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?'

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. 'Whew!' says the leopard, 'That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!'

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed , and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, 'Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, 'What am I going to do now?', but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

'Where's that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

A plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lightning.

One young woman lost it completely.

She stood up in the front of the plane and screamed, 'I'm too young to die,' she cried. Then she yelled, 'If I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there a real MAN on this plane who can make me feel once like a real WOMAN?'

For a moment, there was silence. Everyone stared at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then a man stood up in the rear of the plane.

He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt as he went, one button at a time. No one moved. He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled across his chest. She gasped....

Then, he spoke...

'Iron this, Hon, and then get me a beer.'

Bubba died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly.

The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best friends, Cooter and Gomer. The three men had always done everything together.

Cooter arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet, Cooter said "Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over. The mortician rolled him over and Cooter said, "Nope, ain't Bubba."


The mortician thought this was rather strange. So he brought Gomer in to confirm the identity of the body. Gomer looked at the body and said, 'Yup, he's pretty well burnt up.

Roll him over.' The mortician rolled him over and Gomer said, 'No, it ain't Bubba.'

The mortician asked, 'How can you tell?'

Gomer said, 'Well, Bubba had two a--holes.'

'What? He had two a--holes?' asked the mortician.

'Yup, we never really seen 'em, but everybody used to say, 'Look, there goes Bubba with them two a--holes.'

An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side.

He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The old man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'


At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000' the jeweler said.


The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.'

The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, 'By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds
and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon,' he said.

Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the fellow. "There's no money in that account.'

"I know,' said the old scamp, 'But let me tell you about my weekend!'

Once upon a time there was a quiet village with happy, prosperous people and just enough monkeys to keep things lively.

One day, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. Some even began to raise them while neglecting their other animals and crops. The man sold monkey food to those raising them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers slowed their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20 for a monkey. Many more began to raise monkeys. The man sold more monkey food.

This higher price renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply of monkeys diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The people raising monkeys were becoming very rich, so others copied them. The man had to send to the city for more monkey food to sell everyone. The food began to cost a lot more.


The offer increased to $25 each, and the supply of monkeys became so small that it was an effort to even find a wild monkey, let alone catch it! The villagers raising monkeys redoubled their efforts, and purchased more of the now very expensive monkey food.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! Now everyone was raising monkeys and buying food at a huge price.

The man announced he had to go to the city to buy more monkey food, so his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.


In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. 'Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I'll tell you what I'll do. I will sell them to you at $35, and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.'

The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

That night the assistant quietly left the village. The people never saw the man nor his assistant again, only thousands and thousands of
very hungry, mischievous monkeys everywhere!

The people were very upset so they called for the king. When the king came, he saw all the monkeys at their mischief. He laughed and laughed at the naughty monkeys and the foolish people..

Now you have a little better understanding of how Wall Street works.
