HOW TO CALL THE POLICE.

 email from jks weerasekera

George  Phillips, an elderly man from
Walled Lake, Michigan, was  going up 
to be but he'd
left the light on in  the garden shed,
which he could see from the bedroom 
window. 
George  opened the back door to go turn
off the light, but saw that there were
people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who  asked 
"Is someone in your house?"

He  said "No," but some people are
breaking into my garden shed and 
stealing  from me.

The police dispatcher said "All
patrols are busy, you should lock your
doors and an officer will be along when
one is available"

George   hung up the phone and counted to 30.
Then he phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds
ago because there were people stealing
things from my shed. Well, you don't  have to worry about
them now because I just shot and killed
them both.  The dogs are eating them
right now," and he hung up.

Within  five minutes, six Police Cars, a
SWAT Team, a Helicopter,  two Fire 
Trucks, a Paramedic and an Ambulance 
showed up at the Phillips'  residence, 
and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the  Policemen said to George, 
"I thought you said that you'd shot  them!"

George  said, "I thought you said 
there was nobody available!"

(True  Story)

Don't  mess with old people 

A few chuckles for seniors.

GETTING OLDER A distraught senior citizen  phoned her doctor's office.  "Is it true," she wanted to know,  "that the medication  you prescribed has to be taken  for the rest of my life?"  "'Yes, I'm afraid so,"' the doctor  told her.  There was a moment of silence  before the senior lady replied,  "I'm wondering, then,  just how serious is my condition  because this prescription is  marked  'NO REFILLS'.." ***********************  An older gentleman was  on the operating table  awaiting surgery  and he insisted that his son,  a renowned surgeon,  perform the operation.  As he was about to get the  anesthesia, he asked to speak  to his son.  "Yes, Dad , what is it?"  "Don't be nervous, son;  do your best,  and just remember,  if it doesn't go well,  if something happens to me,  your mother  is going to come and  live with you and your wife...."  (I LOVE IT!)  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Aging:  Eventually you will reach a point  when you stop lying about your  age and start bragging about it.  This is so true.  I love to hear them say  "you don't look that old." ---------------------------------  The older we get,  the fewer things  seem worth waiting in line for.  (Mostly because we forgot why we were waiting in line in the first place!!) --------------------------------- Some people  try to turn back their odometers.  Not me!  I want people to know why  I look this way.  I've traveled a long way  and some of the roads weren't  paved. ********************  When you are dissatisfied  and would like to go back to youth,  think of Algebra. -------------------------------  One of the many things  no one tells you about aging  is that it is such a nice change  from being young.  ~~~~~~~~~~~  Ah, being young is beautiful,  but being old is comfortable.  *********  First you forget names,  then you forget faces.  Then you forget to pull up  your zipper... it's worse when  you forget to pull it down.  ````````````````  Two guys, one old, one young,  are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart  when they collide.  The old guy says to the young guy,  "Sorry about that. I  'm looking for my wife, and I guess I  wasn't paying attention  to where I was going."  The young guy says, "That's OK, it's a  coincidence.  I'm looking for my wife, too...  I can't find her and I'm getting a little  desperate."  The old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her...  what does she look like?"  The young guy says,  "Well, she is 27 yrs. old, tall,  with red hair,  blue eyes, is buxom...wearing no bra,  long legs, and is wearing short shorts.  What does your wife look like?'  To which the old guy says, "Doesn't  matter, --- let's look for yours."  (ADORABLE) *********************  (And this final one especially for me,)  "Lord,  keep Your arm around my shoulder  and Your hand over my mouth!" Now, if you feel this doesn't apply to you . . . stick around awhile . . .  it will!

Hard to believe this Osprey gets 5-6 fish at a time,   Then, got a flounder under 3 feet of water And finally, made off with a fish as big as itself !   Wouldn't want to get in its way when its eyes are locked onto you,  His talons in the "load" position!   There are 3 sequences in this very short video: 1st sequence - catches half a dozen fish in one strike. 2nd sequence - plunges talons into deep water to grab the prey. 3rd sequence - captures a big fish that looks as if it weighs more than he does!    ...takes only 2+ minutes &  is well worth watching...     CLICK: OSPREY

World's most Expensive Flowers

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai

BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT SRI LANKA LEADS FOR HAVING THE MOST EXPENSIVE FLOWER.

 Your special attention to flowers under item 5:

How expensive could a flower be? Well, if you thought that a bud picked from the ground is one of nature's simple gifts, you were wrong! Here are the world's 10 most expensive flowers that will alter your perception of 'free nature'. PPR

10. Lisianthus

With a bundle of lisianthus running at $10- $35, this is one of the world's most expensive flowers. Wide, ruffled and delicate oval petals 'dipped' in violet and long, leafy stems characterize the beautiful lisianthus flower. The flower is expensive because it only keeps for two-three weeks after being cut and cannot be frozen like many other varieties.

9. Lily of the Valley

This majestic white flower runs at about $15- $50 a bundle, but is still very popular because of its delicate look. The flower only grows once a year, during early spring and is expensive because it has a maximum lifespan of two weeks.

8. Gloriosa

A native flower of South Africa and some Asian countries, the price per flower for every Gloriosa is about $6- $10. Its unique appearance of long tendrils and red, orange and yellow petals is what makes the flower unique, as well as its scarcity in many locations around the world.

7. Hydrangea

One of the most popular flowers for weddings and elegant events, these colorful and full shrubs can grow to a height of 1 to 3 meters tall! Their are most plentiful in the early spring and late autumn and come in an array of colors including white, blue, pink, light purple and violet, sometimes even in blends. Yet these gorgeous flowers run at about $6.50 a stem because they require a lot of effort to harvest and cultivate.

6. 17th Century Tulip Bulb

Tulips are some of the most common and simple flowers, but in the 17th century, they were rare and extremely hard to come by. The deep colors of this particular tulip are said to be stronger than in any other flower at that time. During the 17th century, they ran at about 10,000 guilders, or $5,700 a bunch, and today they remain a noted status symbol.

5. Saffron Crocus

The Saffron crocus is more famous as a spice than as a flower, but it is still one of the most stunning and expensive flowers out there. Its yellow center is what eventually becomes the highly valued spice saffron, but it can take up to 80,000 flowers just to create 500 grams of spice. For this reason, a pound of saffron flowers can cost between $1200- $1500!

4. Gold of Kinabalu Orchid

Orchids are stunning, but very delicate flowers that can be grown in every climate. One of the most expensive is the Gold of Kinabalu orchid that runs at $6000 per piece and can only be found in the Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia. Also, growing this flower is more difficult than most because its bloom can take up to 15 years!

3. Shenzhen Nongke Orchid

This orchid was engineered by botanists and its name is derived from the group of researchers that conducted the experiment that made it. The researchers spent eight years growing and observing the flower, and it is expensive not only due to its rarity, conditions of cultivation and background, but also for its stunning appearance. It takes about four to five years for this orchid to blossom, and it is supposed to have a wonderful taste.

2. Juliet Rose

Deemed one of the world's most elegant and beautiful flowers, the Juliet Rose runs is known as the $15.8 million flower! The rose was introduced to the market in 2006 at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, and its breeder, David Austin spent 15 years and nearly 3 million pounds to develop the flower. Currently, a bouquet of them will run you about $150, which is by no means cheap!

1. Kadupul Flower

The native flower of Sri Lanka, the Kadupul flower is the world's most expensive because it is priceless! The Kadupul flower does not have a price tag because the moment it is picked, it usually dies. Also, every flower survives the night, but dies at dawn, which is characteristic its cactus roots. The fragrance of the Kadupul is noted worldwide for its calming qualities, but unfortunately, unless its scent is trapped in a bottle, most will never have the chance to waft its soothing scent.
