The Perfect Husband

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man turns on the hands free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: 'Hello'
WOMAN: 'Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?'
MAN: 'Yes'
WOMAN: 'I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat.
It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?'
MAN: 'Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.'
WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the
New 2009 models. I saw one I really liked.'
MAN: 'How much?'
WOMAN: '$90,000'
MAN: 'OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.'
WOMAN: 'Great! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last
year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000'
MAN: 'Well, go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They
will probably take it.. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand.'
WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!'
MAN: 'Bye! I love you, too.'

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at
him in astonishment, mouths agape.
He turns and asks: 'Anyone know who this phone belongs to?'

Furadan And Watermelons

The commercial vegetable market has low tolerances for insect and mite damage on edible foods. Such damage can reduce the yield and quality of produce. Sometimes a crop is rejected at market because of even small amounts of damage, cosmetic blemishes or the presence of insect parts. Another reason to control insect pests is that some of them are vectors of plant diseases, particularly viruses.
To meet stringent market requirements for vegetables, it is sometimes necessary to control insects before the crop is actually damaged. Therefore, pests must be detected early, as they enter a field. Vegetable crops should be inspected for insect pests two or three times per week to determine when to begin insecticide treatment and to properly time subsequent applications. Insecticide applications made too early may not provide the protection needed, while those made too late will not prevent crop damage. When pest problems are predictable because they occur every year, applying systemic insecticides, or spraying at susceptible crop stages, may be justified as a preventive measure.
Carbofuran is one of the most toxic carbamate pesticides. It is marketed under the trade names Furadan. It is used to control insects in a wide variety of field crops, including potatoes, corn, soybeans and watermelons.
The technical or chemical name of carbofuran is 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate. It is a systemic insecticide, which means that the plant absorbs it through the roots, and from here the plant distributes it to all parts of the plants, including the leaves, stems, branches, flowers, fruits, etc.
Furadan is widely used by farmers.If you choose a good looking, fresh watermelon in the market, chances are you are buying a furadan-infested watermelon. It looks good, it tastes good and you will not be killed immediately.You still have time to enjoy the fresh and juicy fruits for 2-3 years and by then most parts of your living system, your kidneys, liver , intestines and others begin to malfunction.
There are other fruits to consume,so by your own choice you should stay clear of watermelons as far as you possibly can.
The next time, take a good look at the watermelon.....tell yourself.....LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!!!
