The Neem tree, Azadiractha indica, has been used in the ayuverdic medicine in India for thousands of years. Google it and it will freak you out on the sites about it.

It is basically used as a cleanser for the toxins of the liver. The natives use the leaves and the oil extracted from the seeds in many ways. The oil is a great insect repellent even for plants but you have to mix it with dilute detergent in order for it to adhere to the leaf.

It was also use as a birth control in the past (PM me for application) as it is highly spermicidal.
Great for migraine, high blood pressure, diabetes and 'heatyness' which is basically high acidity in the body. It is also a great booster when you are about to get flu.

Sheesh, all these have been proven time and again. I take the Neem tea which is super bitter. How do you think I didn't die yesterday from smoking so many cgrs a day?

Howard, sorry for the Thread Wreck, you are invited you know since you have an open invite to join us. On the other hand we are loading up your 'naner bucks here for you.

I know about neem oil, but didn't bother to look up the genus and species. Yeah that stuff reeks, but it works eh? (Beth's canuck must be rubbing off on me, eh?) I bought a 2-3 ounces bottle of the oil. I read all kinds of things about it, but does it work? I suppose I need the leaves to make tea or any of the other beneficial things. The oil seems useless. I bought it as an insect repellent for my plants.

Ok, having derailed this thread, I'm going to re-rail it.

A Rabbi, the Pope, the Dalai Lama, and the Archbishop of Canterbury are playing golf and betting heavily on the outcome of the game. At the 18th hole, the Dalai Lama says "well, guys, this has been fun. Since we're all men of God, let's donate whatever we win from each other to charity to help alleviate the suffering of our fellow beings." The other three agree heartily. They finish the game, exchange cash, and the Dalai Lama goes off to give his share to feed starving children.

The argument breaks out when the Rabbi, the Pope, and the Archbishop are trying to figure out what percentage to give to their charities.

The Pope says "let's draw a circle on the ground, throw our money high up in the air, and whatever lands inside the circle we give to the church."

The Archbishop says "I like that idea, but I think that whatever lands outside of the circle should go to the church, and the money inside is ours."

The Rabbi looks at both of them and says "You want I should die here? We draw the circle on the ground, throw our money high up in the air, and whatever God wants he'll keep!"

A guy stuck his head into a barber shop and asked,
"How long before I can get a haircut?"
The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, "About 2 hours."
The guy left.

A few days later the same guy stuck his head in the door and
asked,"How long before I can get a haircut?"
The barber looked around at the shop and said, "About 3 hours."
The guy left.

A week later the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked,
"How long before I can get a haircut?"
The barber looked around the shop and said,"About an hour only."
The guy left.

The barber turned to a friend and said,
"Hey, Bill, do me a favour, follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn't ever come back".

A little while later, Bill returned to the shop, laughing hysterically.

The barber asked, "So where does that guy go when he leaves?"

Bill looked up, tears in his eyes and said, "To your wife"!

A man feared his wife Peggy wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.'

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wi fe and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'

Again he gets no response.

So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner?'

(I just love this)

Another Golf Joke

Eight Iron

Off the seventh tee, Joe sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball.
After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves.

As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in hands of a skeleton!

Joe immediately called out to his friend, “Jack, I’ve got trouble down here!”

“What’s the matter?” Jack asked from the edge of the ravine.

“Bring me my wedge,” Joe shouted. “You can’t get out of here with an eight iron!”

Woman to 911: Help! I'm locked inside my car


911 dispatchers..
How do they keep a straight face?

A woman called Kissimmee police to say she was locked inside her car at the Walgreen's on John Young Parkway near Poinciana, reports the Orlando Sentinel

"My car will not start. I'm locked inside my car," the unidentified woman said.

The dispatcher asked the woman if she was able to manually pull the lock up on the door.

The woman said she would try, and then, she said, "Yes, I got the door open."
"Nothing electrical works. And it's getting very hot in here, and I'm not feeling well."

Looks like her brain synapses weren't firing all that well, either.Sun-Sentinel

I heard the actual tape of that. This was on same tape:
A guy called 911 to get help getting ice off his windshield. The dispatcher told him to use anything that would scrape it off. There was a pause...then he said "you mean you're really not going to come & help me?" and hung up.

True story last year 30 miles north of me. I guy at a motel called 911 cuz he couldn't get his hot tub/jacuzzi to work. Cops gave him a ticket for call not being an emergency. The guy was angry & drove to police dept to complain and got nailed for drunk driving on the way back to motel. What a dummy!
