How I would like to celebrate the year 2000

I would first of all like to see an end all discrimation. I would like to see everybody treated equally, No mater what their culture. I would also like to see peace in the world and all over an end to all wars, violence and murders. Start a new and a fresh life for the year 2000. I would like to see an end also to bullying in school and an end to cruelty to all animals. It would be great to see an end to all sickness, but most of all what I would like to see now is that all people who are sick, specialy Michael Madden and Marcella Rattigan get well and come home to celebrate the year 2000 with us. Maybe for myself celebrating the the year 2000 I would like to have dinner with Jean Claud Van Damne !! I wish I was so lucky or even to win the Lotto. I would like to see everybody at peace and equally treated with love. I would also like to see changes for the poor people out in foreign countries and all over, where ever they are. I would like to see more money raised for these people. I wish an end to all the evil that is in this world and a brighter and happier New Year for all. I only hope that I am also here to enjoy it, also all my family and friends.

Smile Awhile

Why is the grass dangerous?
Because it’s full of blades.

Why are false teeth like stars?
Because they come out at night.

Sally: Why is your nose not twelve inches long?
Susan: Because then it would be a foot!

Why can’t a shoe talk?
Because it’s tongue-tied.

What fish is seen at night?
A starfish.
