HOUMOR Seenagers! I JUST discovered my age group! I'm a Seenager (Senior teenager). I have everything I wanted as a teenager, only it's 55-60 years later.I don't have to go to

school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. I have ID that gets me into bars and the wine store.I like the wine store best. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant, they aren't scared of anything, they have been blessed to live this long, why be scared? And I don't have acne. Life is Good! If you're a Seenager, you'll feel much more intelligent after reading this. Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. We don't decline mentally with age – it just takes us longer to recall facts because we have more information in our brains.Scientists believe this also makes you hard of hearing as it puts pressure on your inner ear.

Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It's NOT a memory problem; it is nature's way of making older people do more exercise. SO THERE! I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names. So please forward this to your friends . . . they might be my friends, too.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK:

A 90-year-old man said to his doctor, "I've never felt better. I have an 18-year old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that?" The doctor considered his question for a minute and then said, "I have an elderly friend who is a hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was going out in

a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his umbrella instead of his gun. When he got to the Creek, he saw a rabbit sitting beside the stream. He raised his umbrella and went, 'bang, bang' and the rabbit fell dead. What do you think of that?"

The 90-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else killed that rabbit."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

HAVE A SEAT

A man was looking for a place to sit in a crowded university library.

He asked a girl: "Do you mind if I sit beside you?" The girl replied, in a loud voice. "NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!"

All the people in the library started staring at the man, who was deeply embarrassed and moved to another table. After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the man's table and said with a laugh: "I study psychology, and I know

what a man is thinking; I bet you felt embarrassed, right?"

The man responded in a loud voice: "$500 FOR ONE NIGHT? I`M NOT PAYING YOU THAT MUCH!" All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock.

The man whispered to her: "I study law, and I know how to screw people."

Today at the bank, an old lady asked me to help check her balance. So I pushed her over. I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day. I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised. My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot. It got so bad, finally I had to take his bike away. I'm so good at sleeping. I can do it with my eyes closed I proposed to my ex-wife. But she said no. She believes I’m just after my money.

Grammar Lesson: Is it "Complete", "Finished" or "Completely Finished”?

No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between these two words - "Complete" and "Finished”. In a recent linguistic competition held in London and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation which lasted over five minutes. The final question was: “How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. ”Here is his astute answer: "When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And, when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"
