There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. Delay may give clearer light as to what is best to be done.

Everyone that knows me personally knows I love Coke. I have cut back on my consumption recently and was interested when I got the following email. Of course this is a chain letter of sorts and half of what it says is probably urban myth. The facts and figures are not sourced however it did come signed off with these details:

WATER OR COKE?

This is really an eye opener!

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.)

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

4. There are 9 teaspoons of sugar in a Classic Coke. There are 9 grams of sugar in a teaspoon. 81 grams of sugar a day for 5 years just about guarantee's you type 2 Diabetes. Who do you know that only drinks just one?


Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of Water or a Coke??

I speak to many Melaleuca customers that tell me they only drink just one. I did too - until I was diagnosed with brittle bones at the age of 38. Just one Diet Pepsi a day surely couldn't hurt anything...could it? Does that remind you of "They wouldn't sell it if it wasn't safe" would they? They would, they can and they do.

Now what will you do? I challenge you! Give up the pop. It's not just coke, most all have the same active ingredient.

Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.

Whatever God's dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates.

Last night I was lucky enough to see the Barenaked Ladies and Alanis Morrisete at the white River Amphitheater here in Washington.

The Ladies have to be one of the best if not the best band I have ever since perform live.

The show was so good I am buying the official "bootleg" copy from the Ladies LIVE site.

If you are not a fan do yourself a favor and check out one of their albums.

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.

Soon you will be sitting on top of the world.

Don't dare say their Southern Cross is crooked.

In Australia we've got culture up to our freckles.

The Australian landscapes show best by the red light of the hot-weather sunsets, when the dark feathery foliage of the gumtrees comes out in the exquisite relief upon the fiery fogs that forms the sky.

Sydney? That's a strange name for a city. Why didn't they call it Fred?

Hey everyone! I am back. Bet you didn't even miss me. Some of you thought I had just dropped of the face of the earth as always. Not this time though. I was on a much needed vacation to Australia.

I had a great time and will post all of my adventures when I get caught up with other things.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

4. There are 9 teaspoons of sugar in a Classic Coke. There are 9 grams of sugar in a teaspoon. 81 grams of sugar a day for 5 years just about guarantee's you type 2 Diabetes. Who do you know that only drinks just one?


Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of Water or a Coke??

I speak to many Melaleuca customers that tell me they only drink just one. I did too - until I was diagnosed with brittle bones at the age of 38. Just one Diet Pepsi a day surely couldn't hurt anything...could it? Does that remind you of "They wouldn't sell it if it wasn't safe" would they? They would, they can and they do.

Now what will you do? I challenge you! Give up the pop. It's not just coke, most all have the same active ingredient.

Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.

Whatever God's dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates.

Last night I was lucky enough to see the Barenaked Ladies and Alanis Morrisete at the white River Amphitheater here in Washington.

The Ladies have to be one of the best if not the best band I have ever since perform live.

The show was so good I am buying the official "bootleg" copy from the Ladies LIVE site.

If you are not a fan do yourself a favor and check out one of their albums.

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.

Soon you will be sitting on top of the world.

Don't dare say their Southern Cross is crooked.

In Australia we've got culture up to our freckles.

The Australian landscapes show best by the red light of the hot-weather sunsets, when the dark feathery foliage of the gumtrees comes out in the exquisite relief upon the fiery fogs that forms the sky.

Sydney? That's a strange name for a city. Why didn't they call it Fred?

Hey everyone! I am back. Bet you didn't even miss me. Some of you thought I had just dropped of the face of the earth as always. Not this time though. I was on a much needed vacation to Australia.

I had a great time and will post all of my adventures when I get caught up with other things.

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

WATER OR COKE?

This is really an eye opener!

We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.)

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
