Joan Armatrading Shapes And Sizes Lyrics:
It comes all shapes and sizes
It’s something you can never buy
Don’t wait until it’s over
Before you say it’s all been fun
Obituary columns are filled with love
Don’t wait until I’m waving
And drowning in a sea of tears
It is too late tomorrow
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
If everybody said it to
The person that they feel it for
Then their heart
Would be full and free
It comes all shapes and sizes
It’s something you can never buy
Don’t wait
Don’t wait
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Don’t wait until it’s over
Don’t wait until it’s over
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
It’s something you can never buy
Don’t wait until it’s over
Before you say it’s all been fun
Obituary columns are filled with love
Don’t wait until I’m waving
And drowning in a sea of tears
It is too late tomorrow
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
If everybody said it to
The person that they feel it for
Then their heart
Would be full and free
It comes all shapes and sizes
It’s something you can never buy
Don’t wait
Don’t wait
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Don’t wait until it’s over
Don’t wait until it’s over
Obituary columns are filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
Filled with love
This I find fitting to listen to when loved ones pass, what a great song anytime.

Emergency Flashers
I had a flat tire on the highway yesterday; so, I pulled over, got out of the car and opened my trunk.
I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe it!
Just as I had hoped, cars started slowing down looking at the men which made it much safer for me to work on the side of the road!
People honked and waved, and it wasn't long before a police car pulled up behind me.
He wanted to know what the heck I was doing so I calmly explained that I was changing my flat. He told me he could see that, but demanded to know what the heck my cardboard men were doing standing at the rear of my car.
I couldn't believe he didn't know.... SO I told him....
Well DUH.... I explained to the angry Policeman....

Three Dogs at the Vets
Three dogs were sitting in the waiting room at the vet's when they struck
up a conversation. The Yellow Labrador turned to the Black Labrador and said,
" So why are you here ? "
The Black Lab replied, " I'm a pisser. I piss on everything....the
sofa, the curtains, the cat, the kids. But the final straw was last night when I
pissed in the middle of my owner's bed."
The Yellow Lab said, " So what’s the vet going to do ? "
" Gonna cut my nuts off " came the reply from the Black Lab.
"They reckon it'll calm me down."
The Black Lab then turned to the Yellow Lab and asked " why are you here ? "
The Yellow Lab said, " I'm a digger. I dig under fences, dig up flowers and
trees, I dig just for the hell of it. When I'm inside, I dig up the carpets.
But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in my owners' couch."
" So what are they going to do to you ? " the Black Lab inquired.
" Looks like I'm losing my nuts too," the dejected Yellow Lab said.
The Black Lab then turned to the Great Dane and asked, " Why are you here ? "
" I'm a humper," said the Great Dane. "I'll hump anything. I'll hump the cat, a
pillow, the table, fence posts, whatever. I want to hump everything I
see."
Yesterday my owner had just got out of the shower and was bending down to
dry her toes, and I just couldn't help myself. I hopped on her back and
started hammering away."
The Black and the Yellow Labs exchanged a sad glance and said,
" So, it's nuts off for you too, huh ?"
The Great Dane said, " No, apparently I'm here to get my nails clipped ! "

I know your sister
A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation were sitting in their pews and talking.
Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence..
So Satan walked up to the man and said, 'Do you know who I am?'
The man replied, 'Yep, sure do.'
'Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked.
'Nope, sure ain't.' said the man.
'Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?' asked Satan.
'Don't doubt it for a minute,' returned the old man, in an even tone.
'Did you know that I can cause yo u profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?' persisted Satan.
'Yep,' was the calm reply.
'And you are still not afraid?' asked Satan.
' Nope,' said the old man
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, 'Why aren't you afraid of me?'

My Light Cycle
Electroluminescent strips built into the tire cowlings, wheel rims, and body illuminate the cycle. It is powered by a fuel-injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine. Riders lay at a near-horizontal position astride the padded leather seat, with feet on foot pegs that control its 6-speed constant mesh manual transmission and hands on the handlebars for throttle and braking. The hub-less wheels are former truck tires built up then custom-shaped to fit onto one of two counter-rotating rims spinning within each other.
