A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma forseveral months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every singleday.
One day,when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, 'You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, youwere there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?'
'What dear?' she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
'I think you're bad luck... get the fuck away from me.'

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION....
After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health.:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Berkowitz, Cohen and Ginsburg have all been close friends since childhood. They decide they want to go into business together.
Berkowitz says, "OK! I'll invest $100,000."
Cohen says that he'll put in $200,000.
Ginsburg says, "All right, I'll put in $1,000."
Cohen says, "If I'm putting in $200,000, I'll be the President and CEO of the corporation. Berkowitz, for your $100,000, you can be the Vice President and CFO, and Ginsburg, for your $1000, you will be our Sexual Adviser."
Puzzled, Ginsburg asks Cohen, "What is a Sexual Adviser?"
Cohen replies, "When we want your f*cking advice, we'll ask for it."
