Scientists are now carrying out most of their experiments on lawyers instead of rats. There are 3 main reasons for this:
1. There are considerably more lawyers in the world than there are rats.
2. The scientists don't get so attached to the lawyers.
3. There are some things that even the rats won't do.

A new York Divorce Lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. Saint Peter asks him "What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?" The Lawyer thought a moment, then said, "A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street." Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the record, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that this was true.
Saint Peter said, "Well , that's fine, but it's not really quite enough to get you into Heaven." The Lawyer said, "Wait Wait! There's more! Three years ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter." Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back, affirming this, too, had been verified.
Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?"
Gabriel gave the Lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter,
"Let's give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell."

*Rights a fifty page report and calls it a brief
*Knows that laws are the guidelines of society, and help criminals read between them
*makes a deal with the devil that he gets whatever he wants in life, in exchange for his soul to burn in hell and then asks "What's the catch?"
*lives in poverty because he's to stingy to use up his $95 million.

Yesterday, i had a very hilarios, most ackward and very embarassing moment at the hospital. Finally, the baby is with mom now, accourding to the sms i got that afternoon.
After an appointment yesterday, i find myself hurrying up and tried to raise time just to be there before 8pm. I arrived 30 minutes just before the cut off time of the visiting hour. Mama finally responded to my sms messages earlier that day and said that they finally brought the baby to her.
I hurried to the stairs, since i cant wait for the elevator, her room is in the 4th floor and located at the far end of the hospital corridor. I just cant wait to get there. Impatient to wait for the elevator, crazy yes, but i dont care, i just wanted to be there. How i pant and catch my breath, after i reach the last step up and then pause for a while then run toward the room. I use to push my weight to the door before since the spring is giving me a hard time, especially when my hand is full. my tote bag, bags of fruits, and some folders and another bag for beverages. But just when i was about to push my whole weigh to the door, Damn!. My brother open it up just in time. Just imagine, how hard i fall down the floor and make a big cry of pain, my elbow hit the floor real bad. But when i saw the baby basin, i forgot i was hurt, and instantly i stood up and went to look into the basket. No baby? I heard my mom saying something, about the things that scattered down the floor, asking if i was hurt or something. But i just stood there and wondering where the baby was. Just before i was about to ask where he was, "Oh my goodness!", I saw the most horrible and the most yucky scene in my whole life. Mama sitting up, leaning on her back, one of her breast exposed and the other "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!", my dad sucking it.
Yucky! What the hell are they doing? And to think that they are not the only person in the room, Ate Rosa is there, one of our naighbor, Tita Mina, and her daughter, Luz. And I went, "ewwwwwwwwwwww!".
No wonder, my brother is rushing to get out of the room. Well, of course they explained everything. but still, its "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!". The doctor told them to buy a breast pump, but the pump is not working well, so they decided to have papa to suck it out of mama, it appears that one of mama's breast is clogged, wehehehehehehe. But ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. The nurses took the baby to feed him in a sterile room not far from my mama's room, so that explains why he is not in his basin.
I dont know, but i guess, my facial expression never change after that incident, but i heard mama ask me, "Oh my god, Honey, dont make me laugh please! Youre so makulit, anak!". and i said, "What? Im not doing anything." She said that the wound hurts so no sudden movement for her like "laughing"?
[Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door.
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
"Jack, did you hear me?"
"Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.
"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.
"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.
"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said
"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important... Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said.
As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no chil dren of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time.
Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture... .Jack stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.
"The box is gone," he said
"What box?" Mom asked.
"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most ,'" Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
"Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom."
It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read.
Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside.
"Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life." A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.
Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved:
"Jack, Thanks for your time! -Harold Belser."
"The thing he valued most was...my time"
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked.
"I need some time to spend with my son," he said.
"Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time!"
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,"
Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
5. You mean the world to someone.
6. If not for you, someone may not be living.
7. You are special and unique.
8. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
11. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
12. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
13. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy .
14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
Send this letter to all the people you care about, if you do so, you will certainly brighten someone's day and might change their perspective on life...for the better.
