As long as we're focusing on the biological marvel that we

it's time for some little
known facts about the human body! We offer no proof of their truth or
accuracy, having culled them from an online comedy forum. They are some nifty
tidbits of information solely for your amusement. <source:www.comedy-zone.net>
- On average women blink nearly twice as
much as men.
- On average a baby's heart will beat about

beings are left handed, which is roughly the same percentage for gorillas
and chimpanzees.

Now that we have your attention, are you ready for our Joke of the Week? It was sent to us by Kristine Goad at Independence Regional Health Center:
Outsmart a woman......Are you kidding..............?
A man calls home to his wife
and says, "Honey, I have been asked to fly to Canada with my boss and several of
his friends for fishing. We'll be gone
for a long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion
I've been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a 3-day weekend?
And also would you get out my rod and tackle box from the attic?
We're leaving at 4:30 pm from the office, and I will swing by the house to pick
my things up...oh! And please pack my new navy blue silk pajamas."
The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd, but, being a good wife, she does exactly
what her husband asked.
Following the long weekend, he came home a little tired but otherwise looking
good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish...
He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleyes, some Bass and a few Pike."
He said "But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you?"
You'll love the answer.
The wife replies,
"I did, they're in your tackle box".
"NEVER, NEVER, NEVER try to
outsmart a woman!!! "
