Healthy And Simple

In spite of rising fuel costs most Americans still commute to work alone. Government studies show that almost 90 percent of Americans drive to work, and that 77 percent of those drive alone. That makes sense really. It’s just a lot more convenient and practical to drive to work and not have to wait around for others.

But the other day I got to try a different way of getting home, one that really changed the way I felt about the daily commute. I took the ferry. Read more…

Two hamburgers walked into a bar. The bartender said: “Sorry, we don’t serve food.”

Some of the most fascinating work I do is hypnotherapy. I love it. Lot’s of people don’t know what hypnotherapy is, so I explain to them how it works, it’s like a massage for the mind. You’d be surprised how many people think that hypnosis will cause them to lose control of their senses and make them quack like a duck or do other silly things. Read more…

A man rushes into a bar and orders a double whiskey. “Tell me,” he asked the bartender, “how high does a penguin grow?”
“Oh, about so high,” replied the bartender, placing his hand some two feet from the floor.
“Are you sure?” said the man.
“Positive,” said the bartender.
“Damn. I guess I just ran over a nun!”

If you have ever slept next to someone who snores you’ll know just how irritating it can be. Whether it’s a low rasping sound or a throat warbling roar the end result is the same, you are unable to sleep. So you might try something sneaky to get them to stop, like pinching their nose or nudging them in the ribs (if you regularly wake up with sore ribs now you know why!) Those don’t always work, and even if they do they might only work for a short time. Fortunately a new study has some answers on why people snore. Unfortunately it’s not going to help you stop them.

A guy walked into a bar. The bartender said: “You’ve got a steering wheel down your pants.”
“Yeah, I know,” said the guy. “It’s driving me nuts!”

One of the fun things about writing a daily blog is looking around for new materials. No, really, I mean that. It really is fun. It’s an incentive to read the newspapers/magazines/web about any and every new study out there. You get to read some fascinating stuff, and you also get to read some studies that leave you wondering WTF? (that’s “what the fu**” to people not familiar with anglo-saxon euphemisms) That’s why we’ve put together this list of how you can read a study. So that you don’t read something and think “Wow, I need to change my lifestyle” only to read the last paragraph and realise the study was done on hamsters. Read more…

In California, they don’t throw their garbage away - they make it into TV
shows. [WOODY ALLEN]

I admit it. I’m addicted to the Olympics. It started out innocently enough. I didn’t even watch the opening ceremonies. But the next day I thought I’d tune in and see what was on and that’s when it began. Synchronized diving. Who even knew it was a sport. It was downhill from there. When I found myself watching trampoline I knew I was in trouble. But when I heard the commentator saying “And that silver on the parallel bars is the first ever medal for Uzbekistan” I knew I needed help. Read more…

Two men were watching a Western on television. As the hero rode on horseback towards a cliff edge, one of the men said: “I bet you 50 dollars he goes over the cliff.” “You’re on,” said the other man. The hero rode straight over the cliff. As the second man handed over the money, the first man looked at it and said:”You know, I feel a bit guilty about winning this because I’ve seen the film before.” “So have I,” said the second man. “But I didn’t think he’d be stupid enough to make the same mistake twice.”
