Medical Distinction ... Guts Vs Balls

  There is a medical distinction between Guts and Balls. We've all heard
 about people having Guts or Balls, but do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, here are the definitions:
 
 GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met
 by your wife with a broom, and having the Guts to ask: 'Are you still
 cleaning, or , are you flying somewhere?'
 
 BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the Balls to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'
 
 I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.

 Medically speaking there is no difference.
 
 Both result in sudden death.

Another Crazy Law ...You Need To Know

A GOOD THING TO KNOW:

New Law: If a patrol car is pulled over to the side of the road, you
must change to the next lane (away from the stopped vehicle) or
slow down by 20 mph. Every state except Hawaii and Mary land and D.C.
has adopted this law now.

In New Jersey, the "Move-over" law became operative in 2009, fine up to
$500. http://www.moveoveramerica.com/

A friend's son got a ticket for this recently. A police car (turned out
it was 2 police cars) was on the side of the road giving a ticket
to someone else. He slowed down to pass but did not move into the other
lane. The second police car immediately pulled him over and gave him
a ticket. He had never heard of the law.

It is a fairly new law that states if any emergency vehicle is on the
side of the road, if you are able, you are to move into the far
lane. The cost of the ticket was $754, with 3 points on your license
and a mandatory court appearance.

Please tell everyone you know about this new law.
As of now the map shows that New York, Maryland and Hawaii do not have
this law.

New Credit Card Scam

 Man they are getting slick!!!

New Credit Card Scam
Snopes.Com says this is true. To verify see this site: http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcard.asp

This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want.

Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it... This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & Master Card Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself.

One of our employees was called on Wednesday from 'VISA', and I was called on Thursday from 'Master Card'.. The scam works like this: Caller: 'This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497..99 from a Marketing company based in ?'

When you say 'No', the caller continues with, 'Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), i s that correct?'

You say 'yes'. The caller continues - 'I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800 -VISA) and ask for Security.'

You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. 'Do you need me to read it again?'

Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works. The caller then says, 'I need to verify you are in possession of your card'. He'll ask you to 'turn your card over and look for some numbers'. There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the next 3 are the security Numbers that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the 3 numbers to him. After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, 'That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?' After you say No, the caller then thanks you and states, 'Don't hesitate to call back if you do, and hangs up.

You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the Card number.. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back within 20 minutes to ask a question.. Are we glad we did! The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card.

Long story - short - we made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new number. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card Don't give it to them. Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their conversation. The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a credit. However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges for purchases you didn't make, and by then it's almost too late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report.

What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a 'Jason Richardson of Master Card' with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a police report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening.

Bible Vs. Cell Phone

Great Email I received today...

 

 

 Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone? 

 

 What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? 

 

  What if we flipped through it several time a day? 

 

  What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? 

 

  What if we used it to receive messages from the text? 

 

  What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? 

 

  What if we gave it to Kids as gifts? 

 

  What if we used it when we traveled? 

 

  What if we used it in case of emergency? 

 

  This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible? 

  

 Oh, and one more thing.

 

 Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being

 disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

 

 Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls! 

 

 When Jesus died for us, he was thinking of you! 

If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for  

 Him, forward this.  93% of the people won't forward it.
