The ability to make and understand puns is considered to be the highest level of language
development. Here are the 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest:
1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed
per passenger."
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says,
"Dam!"
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the
craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your
kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other
says, "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root
canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in
the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an
hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But
why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand
chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a
family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in
Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself
to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that
she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're
twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened
up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers
from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was
unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He
went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival
florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to
"persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store,
saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so,
thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little,
which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad
breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super
calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to
friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did

Kurt Vonnegut's Commencement Address to MIT
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas
the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering
experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But
trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in
a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how
fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The
real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your
worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
3
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless
with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're
behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell
me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The
most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do
with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you
won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on
your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself
too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what
other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your
siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in
the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the
more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young,
prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have
a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Darwin Awards
You all know about the Darwin Awards - It's an annual honor given to
the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing
themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way. Last year's winner
was the fellow who was killed by a Coke machine which toppled over the
top of him as he was attempting to tip a free soda out of it.
And this year's nominee is:
The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal
embedded into the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of
a curve. The wreckage resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it
was a car. The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. The lab
finally figured out what it was and what had happened.
It seems that a guy had somehow gotten hold of a JATO unit (Jet
Assisted Take Off - actually a solid rocket fuel) that is used to give
heavy military transport planes an extra "push" for taking off from
short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert
and found a long, straight stretch of road. Then he attached the JATO
unit to his car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO!
The facts as best as could be determined are the operator of the 1967
Impala hit JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles from
the crash site. This was established by the prominent scorched and
melted asphalt at that location. The JATO, if operating properly,
would have reached maximum thrust within 5 seconds, causing the Chevy
to reach speeds well in excess of 350 mph and continuing at full power
for an additional 20-25 seconds. The driver, soon to be pilot, most
likely would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dogfighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners, basically causing him to
become insignificant for the remainder of the event. However the
automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles (15-20
seconds) before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes,
blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface,
then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles and impacting the
cliff face at the height of 125 feet leaving a blackened crater 3 feet
deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable; however, small
fragments of bone, teeth and hair were extracted from the crater and
fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris
believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.

Darwin Award Losers (but wait until next year)
From a radio program, true report of a happening in Michigan, USA. Guy
buys brand new Grand Cherokee for $30,000 and has $400+ monthly
payments. He and a friend go duck hunting and of course all the lakes
are frozen. These two Atomic Brains go to the lake with the guns, the
dog, the beer and of course the new vehicle. They drive out onto the
lake ice and get ready.
Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the
ducks, something for the decoys to float on. In order to make a hole
large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down
and land on, it is going to take a little more effort than an ice hole
drill.
Out of the back of the new Grand Cherokee comes a stick of dynamite
with a short, 40 second fuse. Now these two Rocket Scientists do take
into consideration that if they place the stick of dynamite on the ice
at a location far from where they are standing (and the new Grand
Cherokee), they take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run
from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting
blast. So, they decide to light this 40-second fuse and throw the
dynamite.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, the
beer, the guns and the dog? Yes, the dog: A highly trained Black Lab
used for retrieving, especially things thrown by the owner. You
guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice
and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse
about the time it hits the ice.
The two men yell, scream, wave arms and wonder what to do now. The
dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs the shotgun and
shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with #8 shot, hardly big enough
to stop a Black Lab.
Dog stops for a moment, slightly confused but continues on. Another
shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused &
of course scared, thinking these two Nobel Prize winners have gone
insane. He takes off to find cover, (with the now really short fuse
burning on the stick of dynamite) .... under the brand new Cherokee.
BOOM! Dog and Cherokee are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the
lake in a very large hole, leaving the two candidates for Co-leaders
of the Known Universe standing there with this "I can't believe this
happened" look on their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal
use of explosives is not covered. He had yet to make the first of
those $400+ a month payments...

By the way, the next time I am pelted with verbally abusive language
during the course of my work day I have decided to respond with
another Isaac Asimov definition for vulgar language. It is as follows:
Ordinary people, who are not well educated and who lack a large
working vocabulary, are limited in their ability to lend force to
their statements. In their search for force, they must therefore make
use of vulgarisms which serve, through their shock value, but which,
through overuse, quickly lose whatever force they have, so that the
purpose of the use is defeated.
Too Expensive
===========
A man says to his wife, "I would like to give you something-how would you like a new
car?" She replies "No I really don't want a new car." He says "Then let me get you
something nice from Tiffany's." She answers "No, I really don't want any jewelry."
He then says "How about a nice sable fur coat?" Again she says, "No." So he asks her
what she would like, and she replies "A divorce..."
To which he replies "I really wasn't planning on spending that much."
Stopped by the Police
================
A Juggler, driving to his next performance, was stopped by the police.
'What are those knives doing in your car?' asked the officer. 'I juggle them in my act.'
Oh yeah?' says the cop. 'Let's see you do it.'
So the juggler starts tossing and juggling the knives.
A guy driving by sees this and says, 'Wow, am I glad I quit drinking. Look at the test
they're making you do now!'
ALLIGATOR SHOES
An Army Ranger was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana
and he wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the
worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices
the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle"
attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the Ranger shouted,
"maybe I'll just go out and get my own alligator so I can
get a pair of shoes made at a reasonable price!"
The vendor said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you
will run into a couple of Marines who were in here earlier
saying the same thing."
7
So the Ranger headed into the bayou that same day and a few
hours later came upon two men standing waist deep in the
water. He thought, "those must be the two Marines the guy
in town was talking about." Just then, the Ranger saw a
tremendously long gator swimming rapidly underwater towards
one of the Marines.
Just as the gator was about to attack, the Marine grabbed
its neck with both hands and strangled it to death with
very little effort. Then both Marines dragged it on shore
and flipped it on its back. Laying nearby were several
more of the creatures.
One of the Marines then exclaimed, "Damn, this one doesn't
have any shoes either!"

1. Growing Up
Fellow walked into his Grandsons' bedroom and found them both busy studying
at their desks. The first boy was reading a book on aviation. "What do you
want to be when you grow up ?" asked the Grandfather, looking at the boy
intently staring at the latest in military jets.
"I want to go to the Naval Academy, GrandPa; then try to get into Naval
aviation. I've always dreamed of being a pilot," said the first boy, a sparkle
in his eyes.
The Grandfather walked over to the other boy was studying one of his Father's
"PlayBoy" magazines just as intently as his brother was the book on aviation.
"And you Jimmy, what do you want to be when you grow up ?" asked the
Grandfather a little hesitantly.
"Nothing sir," the boy said wistfully, "just grown up."
2. Appointments
One night a couple was lying in bed. The husband was feeling frisky so he
rolled over and tapped his wife on the shoulder and started rubbing her arm.
The wife turns over and says "I'm sorry honey, but I have a gynecologist
appointment tomorrow and I want to stay fresh." Rejected, the husband turns
over and tries to sleep.
A few minutes later he rolls over and whispers in her ear "Do you have a
dentist appointment, too?"
3. The Salesman
A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store.
In fact it was the biggest store in the world - you could get anything there.
The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?"
Yes, I was a salesman in the country," said the lad. The boss liked the cut
of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll come and see you when we
close up."
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock came
around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you make
today?"
9
"One," said the young salesman.
"Only one," blurted the boss, "Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day.
How much was the sale worth?"
"Three hundred thousand dollars," said the young man.
"How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well," said the salesman "this man came in and I sold him a small fish hook,
then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I sold him a small
fishing line, a medium one and a huge big one. I asked him where he was going
fishing and he said down the coast. I said he would probably need a boat, so
I took him down to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner
with the twin engines. Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able
to pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold him the new Deluxe
Cruiser."
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You sold all that to
a guy who came in for a fish hook?"
"No," answered the salesman "He came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife
and I said to him, 'Your weekend's shot, you may as well go fishing.'"
4. Saving Clinton
One day Bill Clinton was out jogging -- and accidentally fell from a ridge
into a very cold river. Three boys, playing along the river, saw the
accident. Without a second thought, they jumped in the water and dragged the
wet president out of the river.
After cleaning up he said, "Boys, you saved the President of the United
States today. You deserve a reward. You name it, I'll give it to you."
The first boy said, "Please, I'd like a ticket to Disneyland!"
"I'll personally hand it to you," said Mr. Clinton.
I'd like a pair of Nike Air Turbos," the second boy said.
"I'll buy them myself and give them to you," said the grateful Clinton.
"And I'd like a wheelchair with a stereo in it," said the third boy.
"I'll personally ... wait a second, son, you're not handicapped!"
"No -- but I will be when my dad finds out I saved you from drowning."
5. Cause of Death
There was three guys waiting in line to go to heaven. Saint Peter says,
"Heaven is kind of full right now if you can give me a good reason and how
you died I'll let you in" so they all agree. The first guy goes and says this
" I came home early from work cause I heard my wife was having an affair, so
I walked in the door and I saw her in bed naked. I asked her why she was
home. She said she was sick. So I went out on the balcony and saw a guy
hanging off the side so I start beating his hands with a sledgehammer and he
fell but a bush broke his fall. so I take my refrigerator and throw it on him
10
but during all this I have a heart attack and die." So Saint Peter nods his
head and lets him in. The second guy walks up and tells his story "I was
practicing gymnastics on my balcony when I feel and grabbed on some guys
balcony and he comes out and starts hitting my hands with a sledge hammer so
I fall but a bush broke my fall then he throws his refrigerator on me. So I
died." Saint Peter nods his head and lets him in. The third guy comes up and
says, "I was butt-naked in a refrigerator"
6. Blondes with Dogs
There were 2 blondes at the veterinary.1 had a Great Dane and 1 had a poodle.
The one with the Great Dane asked the one with the poodle, "What are you here
for?" She answered, "I am here to get him neutered." She said, "Oh, I see,
why is that?" The woman with the poodle replied, "Because every time I have
company over, he is always mounting their legs." The blond with the Great
Dane said, "I have a similar problem, every time I bend over, my dog mounts
me." The poodle owner asked, "Are you here to get him neutered too?" She
said, "NO, I'M HERE TO GET HIS NAILS CUT!"
7. Gone Fishing
A man phones home from his office and tells his wife: "Something has just
come up. I have a chance to go fishing for a week. It's the opportunity of a
lifetime. We leave right away. So pack my clothes, my fishing equipment, and
especially my blue silk pajamas. I'll be home in an hour to pick them up."
He goes home in a hurry and grabs everything and rushes off. A week later he
returns. His wife asks: "Did you have a good trip, dear?" He says: " Oh yes,
great! But you forgot to pack my blue silk pajamas." His wife smiles and
says, "Oh no I didn't. I put them in your tackle box!"
8. Unmarried Daughter
An elderly woman comes home and finds her daughter in bed with a vibrator.
She screams at her "What are you doing?" The daughter says, "Mom, I'm 40
years old, I'm not married and I don't have a date. It's the nineties, give
me a break!" The mother shakes her head and leaves. The next day the father
walks in on the daughter and finds the same thing...he screams "What's going
on here?" The daughter explains the same situation to him.... He shakes his
head and leaves. That night the mother comes into the kitchen and finds the
father sitting at the table, a beer in one hand and the vibrator in the
other. She says, " What on earth are you doing with that?" The father sits
back and replies..." Hey, leave me alone, can't a guy have a beer with his
son-in law?"
11
9. The Maid
A guy dials his home phone number from work. A strange woman answers. The guy
says, "Who is this?"
"This is the maid." answered the woman.
"We don't have a maid!"
"I was just hired this morning by the lady of the house."
"Well, this is her husband. Is she there?"
"Ummm...she's upstairs in the bedroom with someone who I just figured was her
husband."
The guy is fuming. He says to the maid, "Listen, would you like to make
$50,000?"
"What do I have to do?"
"I want you to get my gun from my desk in the den and shoot that witch and
the jerk she's with."
The maid puts down the phone. The guy hears footsteps, followed by a couple
of gunshots.
The maid comes back to the phone. "What should I do with the bodies?"
"Throw them in the swimming pool!"
"What pool?"
"Uh... is this 832-4821?"
Do you think saying "Oops" would be enough to cover up this blunder?
10. Sleeping with Cindy
A young single guy on a cruise ship is having the time of his life. On the
second day of the cruise, the ship slams into an iceberg and begins to sink.
Passengers around him are screaming, flailing, and drowning but our guy
manages to grab on to a piece of driftwood and, using every last ounce of
strength, swims a few miles through the shark-infested sea to a remote
island.
Sprawled on the shore nearly passed out from exhaustion, he turns his head
and sees a woman lying near him, unconscious, barely breathing. She's also
managed to wash up on shore from the sinking ship. He makes his way to her,
and with some mouth-to-mouth assistance he manages to get her breathing
again. She looks up at him, wide-eyed and grateful and says, "You saved my
life." He suddenly realizes the woman is Cindy Crawford!
Days and weeks go by. Cindy and our guy are living on the island together.
They've set up a hut, there's fruit on the trees, and they're in heaven.
Cindy's fallen madly in love with our man, and they're making passionate love
morning, noon and night.
Alas, one day she notices he's looking kind of glum. "What's the matter,
sweetheart?" she asks, "We have a wonderful life together, I'm in love with
you. Is there something wrong? Is there anything I can do?"
He says, "Actually, Cindy, there is. Would you mind, putting on my shirt?"
12
"Sure," she says, "if it will help." He takes off his shirt and she puts it on.
"Now would you put on my pants?" he asks. "Sure, honey, if it's really going
to make you feel better," she says.
"Okay, would you put on my hat now, and draw a little mustache on your
face?" he asks. "Whatever you want, sweetie," she says, and does.
Then he says, "Now, would you start walking around the edge of the island?"
She starts walking around the perimeter of the island. He sets off in the
other direction. They meet up half way around the island a few minutes later.
He rushes up to her, grabs her by the shoulders, and says, "Dude! You will
never believe who I'm sleeping with!
Quote of the Week:
When they start requesting a blonde baby sitter instead of a brunette,
they're old enough to stay home alone.
Actual article from the LA Times.
"In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve
the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake
City Hospital. Tomaszewski, and his homosexual partner Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had
been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.
"I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in," he
explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out "Armageddon", my cue that he'd had enough. I
tried to retrieve Raggot out he wouldn't come out again, so I peered into the tube and
struck a match, thinking the light might attract him." At a hushed press conference, a
hospital spokesman described what happened next.
"The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out the tube, igniting Mr
Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and
whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine,
propelling the rodent out like a cannonball."
Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the
gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower
intestinal tract.
O.K., here's the top ten things that scared me the most in reading this story.
10) "I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum . . ." Ouch!!!
9) "So I peered into the tube . . ." Aaaaaahhhhhhh. I'm sorry but that's like looking
through a telescope into hell. I'd rather use binoculars to stare at the sun.
8) That poor gerbil (who obviously suffers from low self-esteem) being shot out of the
guy's anus like Rocky the Flying Squirrel on Rocky & Bullwinkle.
13
7) Suffering a broken nose from a gerbil being launched out of someone's anus. I'm just
guessing, but I seriously doubt said gerbil was spring-time fresh after his little
journey into Kiki's "tunnel of love."
6) People walking around with these volcanic-like pockets of gas in their rectums.
5) People who do this kind of thing and then admit what they were doing when taken to
the emergency room. Sorry, but I think would have made up a story about a gang of
roving, pyromaniac, anal sex fiends breaking into my house and sodomizing me with
a charcoal lighter before I admitted the truth. Call me old fashioned, but I just can't
imagine looking at a doctor and saying "Well doc, it's like this. See we have this
gerbil named Raggot and we took this cardboard tube . . ."
4) "First and second degree burns to the anus". Wouldn't this make the burning itch and
discomfort of hemorrhoids a welcome relief? How does one ever take a healthy
poop after something like this? And the smell of burning anus must be in the top five
most horrible scents on the face of God's green earth.
3) People named "Kiki" which is obviously a Polynesian word for:"Idiotic white men
who insert rodents up their butts."
2) What kind of a hospital would hold a press conference on this?
1) This happened in Salt Lake City. What kind of people are those Mormons? I'm
starting to get a whole new image of the Osmond family.

TheRe ARe nO SkIinG "aCciDenTS".
This guy goes to a bar located at the top of the Empire State Building in NYC. It looks
like a nice place and he takes a seat at the bar next to another guy. "This is a nice place.
I've n'ver been here." The first guys says."Oh, really?" The other replies, "It's also a very
special bar." "Why is that?" the first guy asks."Well you see that painting on the far
wall? That's an original Van Gogh and this stool I'm sitting on was on the Titanic." "Gee,
that's amazing!" the first guy says."Not only that, but you see that window over there,
fourth from the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside that window. If you
jump out you*ll fall about 50 feet before the wind catches you and you're pushed back
up." "No way. that's impossible", the first guy replies. "Not at all, take a look." the other
man replies and walks over to the window followed closely by the first man. He opens
the window, climbs over the sill and falls out. He drops 10...20...30...40...50 feet, comes
to a stop and whoosh! He comes right back up and sails back through the window.
"See,it's fun. You should try it " he says. "Try it? I don't even believe I saw it!" the first
man shouts."It's easy. Watch. I'll do it again." And with that, he falls out the window
again.He drops 10...20...30...40...50 feet, comes to a stop and whoosh! He comes right
back up and sails back through the window. "Go ahead, give it a try, its a blast." he says.
"Well what the heck. OK, I'll give it a try," the first man says and proceeds to fall out of
the window. He falls 10...20...30...40...50...100...200...300...400...500...1000 feet and
SPLAT! ends up as road pizza on the sidewalk below. After calmly watching the first
man fall to his death, the other guy casually closes the window and heads back to the bar
and orders another drink. The bartender arrives with the drink and says, "You know,
Superman,you're a real jerk when you're drunk."
A guy wakes up one morning to find a gorilla in his tree. He locates in the yellow pages a
gorilla removal service. When he calls to ask if they could remove the gorilla the service
guy asks, "Is it male or female?"
"Male," replies the man.
"Yeah we can do it. We'll be right there."
An hour later the service guy shows up with a stick, a chihuahua, a shotgun, and a pair of
handcuffs. Then the service guy proceeds to give the man instructions.
"I'm going to climb the tree and poke the gorilla with the stick until he falls out of the tree.
When he does, the trained chihuahua will bite off the gorilla's testicles. The gorilla will
then cross his hands in front of him to protect himself, allowing you to put the handcuffs
on him."
The man asks, "What do I do with the shotgun?"
The service guy replies, "If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla, shoot the chihuahua."

One day a pastor was preaching his sermon. At one point he told the
congregation that anything in their lives that was happening, it had
happened in the Bible at some point. After church a lady walked up to
the pastor and told him that she doubted that PMS was ever mentioned in
the Bible. The Pastor told her that he would check into it. The next
week the Pastor pulled the woman aside and told her that he found a
place in the Bible having to do with her question. He said that in the
Bible it mentions: "and Mary rode Joseph's Ass all the way into Bethlehem."
The following letters are taken from an actual incident between a London hotel and one of
it's guests. The Hotel ended up submitting the letters to the London Sunday Times!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Maid,
Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my bathroom since I have
brought my own bath-sized Dial. Please remove the six unopened little bars from the shelf
under the medicine chest and another three in the shower soap dish. They are in my way.
Thank you,
S. Berman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Room 635,
I am not your regular maid. She will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off. I took
the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf I
took out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should change
your mind. This leaves only the 3 bars I left today which my instructions from the
management is to leave 3 soaps daily. I hope this is satisfactory.
Kathy,
Relief Maid
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Maid I hope you are my regular maid. Apparently Kathy did not tell you about my note to her
concerning the little bars of soap. When I got back to my room this evening I found you
had added 3 little Camays to the shelf under my medicine cabinet. I am going to be here in
the hotel for two weeks and have brought my own bath-size Dial so I won't need those 6
little Camays which are on the shelf. They are in my way when shaving, brushing teeth,
etc. Please remove them.
S. Berman
----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Berman,
My day off was last Wed. so the relief maid left 3 hotel soaps which we are instructed by
the management. I took the 6 soaps which were in your way on the shelf and put them in
the soap dish where your Dial was. I put the Dial in the medicine cabinet for your
convenience. I didn't remove the 3 complimentary soaps which are always placed inside
18
the medicine cabinet for all new check-ins and which you did not object to when you
checked in last Monday. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Your regular maid,
Dotty
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Berman,
The assistant manager, Mr. Kensedder, informed me this morning that you called him last
evening and said you were unhappy with your maid service. I have assigned a new girl to
your room. I hope you will accept my apologies for any past inconvenience. If you have
any future complaints please contact me so I can give it my personal attention. Call
extension 1108 between 8AM and 5PM. Thank you.
Elaine Carmen
Housekeeper
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Miss Carmen,
It is impossible to contact you by phone since I leave the hotel for business at 7:45 AM
and don't get back before 5:30 or 6PM. That's the reason I called Mr. Kensedder last night.
You were already off duty. I only asked Mr. Kensedder if he could do anything about
those little bars of soap. The new maid you assigned me must have thought I was a new
check-in today, since she left three new bars of soap in my medicine cabinet along with
her regular delivery of 3 bars on the bath-room shelf. In just 5 days here I have
accumulated 24 little bars of soap. Why are you doing this to me?
S. Berman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Berman,
Your maid, Kathy, has been instructed to stop delivering soap to your room and remove
the extra soaps. If I can be of further assistance, please call extension 1108 between 8AM
and 5PM. Thank you.
Elaine Carmen,
Housekeeper
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Kensedder,
My bath-size Dial is missing. Every bar of soap was taken from my room including my
own bath-size Dial. I came in late last night and had to call the bellhop to bring me 4 little
Cashmere Bouquets.
S. Berman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Berman,
I have informed our housekeeper, Elaine Carmen, of your soap problem. I cannot
understand why there was no soap in your room since our maids are instructed to leave 3
bars of soap each time they service a room. The situation will be rectified immediately.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
Martin L. Kensedder, Assistant Manager

Dear Mrs. Carmen,
Who the hell left 54 little bars of Camay in my room? I came in last night and found 54
little bars of soap. I don't want 54 little bars of Camay. I want my one damn bar of bathsize Dial. Do you realize I have 54 bars of soap in here. All I want is my bath size Dial.
Please give me back my bath-size Dial.
S. Berman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Berman,
You complained of too much soap in your room so I had them removed. Then you
complained to Mr. Kensedder that all your soap was missing so I personally returned
them. The 24 Camays which had been taken and the 3 Camays you are supposed to
receive daily. I don't know anything about the 4 Cashmere Bouquets. Obviously your
maid, Kathy, did not know I had returned your soaps so she also brought 24 Camays plus
the 3 daily Camays. I don't know where you got the idea this hotel issues bath-size Dial. I
was able to locate some bath-size Ivory which I left in your room.
Elaine Carmen
Housekeeper
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Mrs. Carmen,
Just a short note to bring you up-to-date on my latest soap inventory.
As of today I possess:
*On the shelf under medicine cabinet - 18 Camay in 4 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
*On the Kleenex dispenser - 11 Camay in 2 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 3.
*On the bedroom dresser - 1 stack of 3 Cashmere Bouquet, 1 stack of 4 hotel-size Ivory,
and 8 Camay in 2 stacks of 4.
*Inside the medicine cabinet - 14 Camay in 3 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
*In the shower soap dish - 6 Camay, very moist.
*On the northeast corner of tub - 1 Cashmere Bouquet, slightly used.
*On the northwest corner of tub - 6 Camays in 2 stacks of 3.
Please ask Kathy when she services my room to make sure the stacks are neatly piled and
dusted. Also, please advise her that stacks of more than 4 have a tendency to tip. May I
suggest that my bedroom window sill is not in use and will make an excellent spot for
future soap deliveries. One more item, I have purchased another bar of bath-sized Dial
which I am keeping in the hotel vault in order to avoid further misunderstandings.

Computerized Medical Diagnostics
One day, Pete complained to his friend Woody, "Man! My elbow really hurts.
I guess I should go see a doctor." Woody said, "Don't do that!
"There's a computer at the corner drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and
cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will
diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it and it only cost 10 bucks."
Pete figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with his urine sample and deposited
the 10 bucks.
The computer started making some noise and various lights started to flashing. After a
brief pause, out popped a small slip of paper which read:
YOU HAVE TENNIS ELBOW. SOAK YOUR ARM IN WARM WATER.
AVOID HEAVY LABOR. WILL BE BETTER IN TWO WEEKS.
That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would
change medical science forever, Pete began to wonder if this computer could be fooled.
He decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his
dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the
concoction. He went back to the drug store, located the computer.
Giggling like a giddy teenager, he poured in the sample and deposited 10 bucks.
The machine again made the usual noises and printed out the following analysis:
YOUR TAP WATER IS TOO HARD. GET A WATER SOFTENER.
YOUR DOG HAS RINGWORM. BATHE HIM WITH ANTI-FUNGAL SHAMPOO.
YOUR DAUGHTER IS USING COCAINE. PUT HER IN A REHABILITATION CLINIC.
YOUR WIFE IS PREGNANT WITH TWIN GIRLS…THEY AREN'T YOURS. GET A LAWYER.
AND IF YOU DON'T STOP JERKING OFF, YOUR TENNIS ELBOW WILL NEVER GET BETTER.

When Mr.. Wilkins answered the door late in the evening one day after he'd lost his wife scuba diving,
he was greeted by two grim-faced policemen. "We're sorry to call on you at this hour, Mr. Wilkens,
but we have some information about your wife."
"Well...tell me!" he demanded.
The policeman said, "We have some bad news, some pretty good news, and some really great news.
Which do you want to hear first?"
Fearing the worse, Mr. Wilkins said, "Give me the bad news first."
So the policeman said, "I'm sorry to tell you sir, but we found your wife's body this morning in San
Francisco Bay."
"OH MY GOD!," said Mr. Wilkens, overcome by emotion. Then, remembering what the policeman had
said, he asked, "What's the good news?"
"Well," said the policeman, "When we pulled her up she had two five-pound lobsters and a dozen good
size Dungeoness crabs on her."
"Huh?" he said, not understanding. "So, what's the great news?"
The policeman smiled, licked his chops, and said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow morning."
Four gents go out to play golf one sunny morning. One is detained in the clubhouse, and the other three
are discussing their children while walking to the first tee. "My son," says one, "has made quite a name
for himself in the home-building industry. He began as a carpenter, but now owns his own design and
construction firm. He's so successful in fact, in the last year he was able to give a good friend a brand
new home as a gift."
The second man tells how his son began his career as a car salesman, but now owns a multi-line
dealership. "He's so successful in fact, in the last six months he gave a friend two brand new cars as a
gift."
The third man's son has worked his way up through a stock brokerage. And in the last few weeks has
given a good friend a large stock portfolio as a gift.
As the fourth man arrives at the tee box, another tells him that they have been discussing their progeny
and asks what line his son is in. "To tell the truth, I'm not very pleased with how my son has turned out,"
he replies. "For fifteen years, he's been a hairdresser, and I've just recently discovered that he's a
homosexual. But, on the bright side, he must be good at what he does because his last three boyfriends
have given him a brand new house, two cars, and a big pile of stock certificates."

In a crowded city at a crowded bus stop, a beautiful young woman was waiting for the bus. She was
decked out in a tight leather mini skirt with matching tight leather boots and jacket. As the bus rolled
up and it became her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to
come up to the height of the first step on the bus.
Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver she reached behind her and unzipped her
skirt a little thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. Again she tried to make the
step onto the bus only to discover she still couldn't!
So, a little more embarrassed she once again reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little more and
for a second time attempted the step and once again, much to her chagrin she could not raise her leg
because of the tight skirt. So, with a coy little smile to the driver she again unzipped the offending skirt to
give a little more slack and again was unable to make the step.
About this time the big Texan that was behind her in the line picked her up easily from the waist and
placed her lightly on the step of the bus. Well, she went ballistic and turned on the would-be hero,
screeching at him, "How dare you touch my body!! I don't even know who you are!"
At this the Texan drawled "Well ma'am normally I would agree with you but after you unzipped my fly
three times, I kinda figured that we was friends."

Cigars and Insurance
A Charlotte, NC, man having purchased a case of very rare, very expensive cigars, insured them
against fire among other things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of cigars and
without having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the man filed a claim against the
insurance company. In his claim, the man stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The
insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the
normal fashion.
The man sued - and won. In delivering the ruling the judge agreeing that the claim was frivolous, stated
nevertheless that the man held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were
insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure against fire, without defining what it considered to be
"unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal
process the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in
"the fires." After the man cashed the check, however, the company had him arrested on 24 counts of
arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the
man was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and sentenced to 24 months in jail and a
$24,000 fine.

A married couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor
said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father.
He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it.
The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain
than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he
asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent
pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and
pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this, the doctor decided to try for 50 percent.
The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he
encouraged the doctor to transfer all the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no
pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the mailman was dead on their porch.
Proud Dads
Four guys are telling stories in a bar. One guy leaves for a bathroom break. Three guys are left. The first
guy says, "I was worried that my son was gonna be a loser because he started out washing cars for a local
dealership. Turns out that he got a break, they made him a salesman, and he sold so many cars that he
bought the dealership. In fact, he's so successful that he just gave his best friend a new Mercedes for his
birthday."
28
The second guy says, "I was worried about my son too because he started out raking leaves for a Realtor.
Turns out HE got a break, they made him a commissioned salesman, and he eventually bought the real
estate firm. In fact, he's so successful that he just gave his best friend a new house for his birthday."
The third guy says, "Yeah, I hear you. My son started out sweeping floors in a brokerage firm. In fact,
he's so rich that he just gave HIS best friend a million in stock for his birthday."
The fourth guy comes back from the can. The first 3 explain that they are telling stories about their kids,
so he says, "Well, I'm embarrassed to admit that my son is a MAJOR disappointment. He started out as a
hairdresser and is STILL a hairdresser after 15 years. In fact, I just found out that he's gay and has
SEVERAL boyfriends. But, I try to look at the bright side: his boyfriends just bought him a new
Mercedes, a new house, and a million in stock for his birthday."
A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and
rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said "OK,OK. You released me from the lamp, blah blah
blah. This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget
about three. You only get one wish!" The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always
wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to
Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?" The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible. Think of the
Logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific?
Think of how much concrete...how much steel!! No, think of another wish." The man said OK and tried
to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives
always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women....know
how they feel inside and what they're Thinking when they give me the silent treatment....know why
they're crying, know what they really want when they say 'nothing'....know how to make them truly
happy...."The genie said, "You want that bridge two lanes or four?"

A businessman boards a flight and is lucky enough to be seated next to a gorgeous woman.
They exchange brief hellos and he notices she is reading a manual about sexual statistics.
He asks her about it and she replies, "This is a very interesting Book about sexual statistics.
It identifies that American Indians have the longest average penis and Polish men have the
biggest average diameter.
By the way, my name is Jill. What's yours?" He coolly replies, "Tonto Kowalski, nice to meet you."
To my outdoorsmen friends: Subject: Bear Warning
In light of the rising frequency of grizzly bear attacks in the area, the Department of Forestry is advising
hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
They advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't
expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter
with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity.
Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear poop:
Black bear poop is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and smells like pepper spray.
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup, the doctor called the wife
into his office alone.
He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you
don't do the following, your husband will surely die."
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch
make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with
chores, as he probably had a hard day. Don't discuss your problems with him, as it will only make his
stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his
every whim." If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his
health completely.
On the way home, the husband asked his wife.
"What did the doctor say?"
"You're going to die," she replied.
THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT
Last week there was a very important meeting between God, Moses, and the Pope.
They were troubled because of the way President Clinton was behaving. They decided that the only
course of action was to create an 11th Commandment to get their message across. The problem was how
to word it so it matched the other commandments in style and holy inspiration to others.
After prolonged meditation and discussion, they decided on:
"Thou shalt not comfort thy rod with thy staff."
A couple had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the
old gentleman said to his wife, "Just think, honey, we've been married for 50 years."
"Yeah," she replied, "Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together."
"I know," the old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years ago."
"Well," Granny snickered, "What do you say...should we get naked?" Where upon the two stripped to the
buff and sat down at the table. "You know, honey," the little old lady breathlessly replied, "My nipples
are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago."
"I wouldn't be surprised," replied Gramps. "One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal!

A woman gets home, runs into her house, slams the door and shouts, “Honey, pack your bags. I won the
lottery.” The husband says, “Wow! That's great! Should I pack for the ocean, or should I pack for the
mountains?” She says, “I don't care. Just get out.”
Ethel is a bit of a demon in her wheelchair, and loves to charge around the nursing home, taking corners
on one wheel and getting up to maximum speed on the long corridors. Because the poor woman is one
sandwich short of a picnic, the other residents tolerate her, and some actually join in...
One day, Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a door opened and a man stepped out with his arm
outstretched..."Stop!" he said in a firm voice. "Have you got a license for that thing?" Ethel fished
around in her handbag and pulled out a kit kat wrapper and held it up to him. "OK" he said, and she went
on her way. Taking the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel, another man stepped out in front of her,
and shouted "Stop!" "Have you got proof of insurance?" Ethel dug into her handbag and pulled out a
beer coaster, held it up to him, and he allowed her to carry on. Going down the final corridor before the
front door, a third man stepped out in front of her....Stark Naked, and holding a sizable erection in
his hand. "OH, NO," said Ethel, "not the Breathalyzer again!

then picks up one with six condoms and asks, "Why six?" The dad replies, "Well, son, those are for
college men. Two for Friday, two for Saturday and two for Sunday." The son then notices the 12 packs of
condoms and asks the same question. The dad replies, "Son, those are for married men. One for January,
one for February, one for March, one for......
Three bulls heard it through the grapevine that the rancher was going to bring yet another bull onto the
ranch, and the prospect raised an immediate discussion among them.
First Bull: "Boys, ya'll know I've been here 5 years. Once we settled our differences, we agreed on
which 100 of the cows would be mine. Now, I don't know where this newcomer is going to get HIS
cows, but I sure as hell ain’t givin’ him any of mine."
Second Bull: "That pretty much says it for me, too. I've been here 3 years and have earned my right to the
50 cows we've agreed are mine. I'll fight him, run him off or kill him, but I'm KEEPING' ALL MY
COWS."
Third Bull: "I've only been here a year, and so far you guys have only let me have 10 cows to "take care
of." I may not be as big as you fellows (yet) but I am young and virile, so I simply MUST keep all MY
cows."
They had just finished their big talk when an eighteen-wheeler pulls up in the middle of the pasture with
only ONE ANIMAL IN IT: the biggest Son-of-Another-Bull these guys had ever seen. At 4,700 pounds,
each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the breaking point.
First Bull: "Ahem...You know, it's actually been some time since I really felt I was doing all my cows
justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few for our new friend."
Second Bull: "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of, if I just stay on the opposite end of the pasture from
HIM. I'm certainly not looking for an argument." They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and
find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting.
First Bull: "Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your cows and live to tell
about it." Third Bull: "Hell, he can have ALL my cows. I'm just making sure he knows I'm a bull."

new bicycle.
The first nerd was stunned and asked, "Where did you get such a nice bike?"
The second nerd replied, "Well, yesterday I was walking along minding my own business when a
beautiful woman rode up to me on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and
said, "Take what you want!'"
The second nerd nodded approvingly, "Good choice, the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Subject: Wife2K
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected
child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was
included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches
during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Pokernight
10.3, WWF 2.5, and 3 Stooges 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever elected.
I can not seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite
applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 but un-install does not work on this
program. Can you help me?
Dear Sir:
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a
"UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT" program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything.
It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0, and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden
operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained.
It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You can
not go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.
Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original
system. Look in your manual under "Warnings: Alimony/Child Support." I recommend you keep Wife
1.0 and just deal with the situation.
Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General
Protection Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur,
regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C APOLOGIZE.
In any case avoid excessive use of the "Esc" key because ultimately you will have to give the
APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run
smoothly as long as you take the blame for all GPFs.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance.
Tickle Me Elmo
A women desperately looking for work goes into Erwin. The Personnel Manager goes over her resume
and explains to her that he regrets he has nothing worthy of her. The woman answers that she really
needs work and will take almost anything. The Personnel Manager hums and haws and finally says he
does have a low skill job on the "Tickle Me Elmo" line and nothing else. The woman happily accepts.
He takes her down to the line and explains her duties and that she should be in at 8:00 AM the next day.
The next day at 8:45 there's a knock at the Personnel Manager's door.
The "Tickle Me Elmo" line manager comes in and starts ranting about the woman just hired. After
screaming for 15 minutes about how badly backed up the assembly line is the Personnel Manager
suggested he show him the problem.
Together they head down to the line and sure enough Elmos are backed up from here to kingdom come.
Right at the end of the line is the woman just hired, she has pulled over a roll of the material used for the
Elmos and has a big bag of marbles. They both watch as she cuts a little piece of fabric and takes 2
marbles and starts sewing them between Elmo's legs.
The personnel managers starts to kill himself laughing and finally after 20 minutes of rolling around he
pulls himself together and walks over to the new employee and says: "I'm sorry I guess you
misunderstood me yesterday. What I wanted you to do was give Elmo two test tickles."

Let's face it-English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple
nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England nor French fries in France.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers
write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So, one moose,
two meese? Is cheese the plural of choose? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a
vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
We recite at a play, and play at a recital. Ship by truck, and send cargo by ship. Have noses that run and
feet that smell. Park on driveways and drive on parkways.
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another? When a house burns up, it burns
down. You fill in a form by filling it out.
When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I
wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?
Now I know why I flunked English. It's not my fault. The silly language doesn't know whether it's
coming or going.
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shown his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when
he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange disembodied voice echoed from the dark
saying "Jesus is watching YOU"
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out and froze. When he heard nothing more after
a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light back
on and began searching for more valuables.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is
watching YOU."
Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the
corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" He hissed at the
parrot. "Yep," the parrot confessed, the squawked, "I'm trying to warn you."
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who are you?" "Moses," replied the parrot.
"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?"
"Probably the same kind of people that would name a Rotweiller Jesus," the bird answered.
I Feel Fine
Bufford decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company
(responsible for the accident) to court. In court the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning
Bufford. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'?" said the lawyer.
Farmer Bufford responded, "Well I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie
into the...."
"I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the question." "Did you not say, at the
scene of the accident, 'I'm fine'!" Farmer Bufford said, "Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I
was drivin' down the road...."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the
accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks
after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply
answer the question." By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Bufford's answer and said to
the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie."

Bufford thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite
mule, into the trailer and was drivin' her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer run the
stop sign and smacked up side of my truck and stove it all in."
"I was thrown plumb into one ditch and Bessie was throwed into t'other. I was hurtin' real bad and didn't
want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moanin' and groanin'. I knew she was in tarrble shape
just by her hearin' her groans."
"Presently, right after the accident, a Highway Policeman come on the scene. He could hear Bessie
moanin' and groaning' so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her
between the eyes. Then the Policeman come across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me."
He said, "Your mule yonder was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feelin'?"

David received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully grown, with a bad attitude and worse
vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives, were to say the least, rude.
David tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music,
anything he could think of to try and set a good example...
Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got
more angry and more rude. Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he heard the bird squawk and kick and scream – then suddenly, there was quiet. Not
a sound for half a minute.
David was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot
calmly stepped out onto David's extended arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude
language and actions. I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and beg
your forgiveness."
David was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had made such a
dramatic change when the parrot continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"
A drunk gets up from the bar and heads for the bathroom. A few minutes later, a loud, blood curdling
scream is heard coming from the bathroom. A few minutes after that, another loud scream reverberates
through the bar.
The bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is screaming.
"What's all the screaming about in there?" he yells.
"You're scaring my customers!"
"I'm just sitting here on the toilet," slurs the drunk, "and every time I try to flush, something comes up
and squeezes the hell out of my balls."
With that, the bartender opens the door, looks in and says, "You idiot! You're sitting on the mop bucket!"
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told
the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband
offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was
suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one
about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a
very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new
beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before!
All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said,
"Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."
"My darling," he replied "Think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss
you on the cheek."
Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida.
His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.
When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail.
Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in
from memory.
Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife,
whose husband had passed away only the day before.
When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream,
and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the
screen:
Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
PS sure is hot down here.

For a couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I
found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the
14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me. And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.
A woman went into a pet shop to buy her husband a pet. After looking around she realized that all the
pets there were very expensive. She went to the counter and questioned the clerk. "I wanted to buy my
husband a pet, but all of yours are so expensive", she said. "Well," said the clerk, "I have a huge bullfrog
in the back for $50. Would you like to see it?" "$50? For a Frog?" asked the woman. The clerk said, "It's
a special frog. It gives blow jobs." The woman did not particularly enjoy giving head, so she thought this
was a heck of a deal. She'd get her husband a gift he'd surely enjoy, and she'd never have to do that again.
The woman decided to buy the frog. She took it home to her husband and explained the strange gift. Of
course, the husband was a bit skeptical, but said he'd try it out for sure that night. The woman went to bed
that night relieved knowing she'd never have to give another blow job.
Around two in the morning, she woke up to hear pots and pans banging around in the kitchen. She got up
to go see what was going on. When she got to the kitchen, she saw her husband and the frog, sitting at the
kitchen table like best buddies, looking through cookbooks. "What are you two doing, looking through
cookbooks at this hour?" asked the woman. The guy looks up at her and says, "If I can teach this frog to
cook, your ass is outta here!"
A girl goes to the doctor and takes off her shirt to be examined. On her chest she has a huge red "H." The
doctor asks, "How did you get that red 'H' on your chest?" and the girl replies, "My boyfriend goes to
Harvard and he's so proud of his school that he never takes off his sweatshirt, even when we're making
love."
So the next day the doctor has to examine another girl and she takes off her shirt and has a huge blue "Y"
on her chest. The doctor asks, "How did you get that blue 'Y' on your chest?" and the girl replies, "My
boyfriend goes to Yale and he's so proud of his school that he never takes off his sweatshirt, even when
we're making love."
So the next day the doctor has to examine another girl and she takes off her shirt and she has a huge
green "M" on her chest. The doctor asks, "Do you have a boyfriend who goes to Michigan?" and the girl
replies, "No, but I have a girlfriend who goes to Wisconsin. Why do you ask?" .....
A modest man is in the hospital for a series of tests. One of the last tests has left his system upset. Upon
making several false alarms to the bathroom he decided the latest was another and stayed put. He then
filled his bed with human waste and was embarrassed beyond anything he could possibly face.
Losing his presence of mind, he jumped up, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital
window. A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him.
He started yelling, cussing, and swinging his arms wildly which left the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at
his feet. As the drunk stood there staring down at the sheets, a security guard who had watched the whole
incident walked up and asked "What the hell was that all about?"
Still staring down, the drunk replied: "I just beat the shit out of a ghost!"

It is again time to vote for the Darwin Award nominees for 1999. Darwins are awarded to the person who
has best contributed to the survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in the
most spectacularly stupid manner - this person is usually an American.
You may recall 1997's Darwin Award winner: The man who found out moments before making a 300
MPH dent in an Arizona cliff that the JATO (Jet Assist Take Off) rocket he'd strapped to his car could
not be turned off once it was turned on.
1998 was the ice fishermen who blew up their new Jeep Cherokee.
The 1999 nominees are:
#1 [UPI, Toronto] Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a downtown Toronto
skyscraper crashed through a pane with his shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death. A police
spokesman said Gary Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early Friday
evening as he was explaining the strength of the building's windows to visiting law students. Hoy
previously had conducted demonstrations of window strength according to police reports. Peter Lawyers,
managing partner of the firm Holden Day Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was "one of
the best and brightest" members of the 200-person firm.
#2 [San Jose Mercury News] An unidentified man, using a shotgun like a club to break a former
girlfriend's windshield, accidentally shot himself to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in his
gut.
#3 [Kalamazoo Gazette] James Burns, 34, of Alamo, Mich., was killed in March as he was trying to
repair what police described as a "farm-type truck". Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway
while Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a troubling noise. Burns' clothes
caught on something, however, and the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft".
#4 [Hickory Daily Record] Ken Charles Barger, 47, accidentally shot himself to death in December in
Newton, NC, when, awakening to the sound of a ringing telephone beside his bed, he reached for the
phone but grabbed instead a Smith and Wesson 38 Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.
#5 [Bloomberg News Service, 25 March] A terrible diet and a room with no ventilation are being blamed
for the death of a man who was killed by his own gas. There was no mark on his body but an autopsy
showed large amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and
cabbage (and a couple of other things). It was just the right combination of foods. It appears that the man
died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had he been outside
or had his windows been opened, it wouldn't have been fatal, but the man was shut up in his near airtight
bedroom. According to the article, "He was a big man with a huge capacity for creating "this deadly gas".
Three of the rescuers got sick and one was hospitalized.
#6 [The News of the weird] Michael Anderson Godwin had spent several years awaiting South Carolina's
electric chair on a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in prison. In March,
sitting on a metal toilet in his cell and attempting to fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was
electrocuted.
#7 [AP, St. Louis] Robert Puelo, 32, was apparently being disorderly in a St. Louis market. When the
clerk threatened to call police, Puelo grabbed a hot dog, shoved it in his mouth, and walked out without
paying for it. Police found him unconscious in front of the store: paramedics removed the six-inch wiener
from his throat, where it had choked him to death.
#8 [Unknown] Marino Malerba shot a stag standing above him on an overhanging rock-and was killed
instantly when it fell on him.
#9 [Associated Press, Kincaid, W VA] A man at a party popped a blasting cap into his mouth and bit
down, triggering an explosion that blew off his lips, teeth and tongue. State police inspector Brian Payne
said Wednesday Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the blasting cap as a prank during a party late
Tuesday night. "Another man had the cap in an aquarium hooked to a battery and was trying to explode
it," Payne said "It wouldn't go off and this guy said, 'I'll show you how to set it off".
#10 [Arkansas Democrat Gazette] Two local men were seriously injured when their pick-up truck left the
41
road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday morning. Thurston Poole,
33, of Des Arc and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock are listed in serious condition at Baptist Medical
Center. The accident occurred as the two men were returning to Des Arc after a frog gigging trip. On an
overcast Sunday night, Poole's pick-up truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that
the headlight fuse on the older model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available,
Wallis noticed that the 22 caliber bullet from his pistol fit perfectly into the fusebox next to the steering
wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate properly and the two men
proceeded on east-bound toward the White River bridge. After traveling approximately twenty miles and
just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the right
testicle. The vehicle swerved sharply to the right exiting the pavement and striking a tree. Poole suffered
only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will require surgery to repair the other wound.
Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. "Thank God we weren't on that bridge
when Thurston shot his testicle off or we might both be dead" stated Wallis. Said State Trooper Ken
Snyder, "I've been a trooper for ten years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe
that those two would admit how this accident happened". Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia,
Poole's wife, asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck.
BUT WAIT - THERE ARE MORE:
PADERBORN, GERMANY - Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant
Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the pluggedup pachyderm finally let fly - and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of shit!
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive-oil enema
when the relieved beast unloaded on him like a dump truck full of mud. "The sheer force of the
elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a
rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said
flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. "With no one there to help him, he lay under all
that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It
seems to be just one of those freak accidents."
1. In September in Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after
squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.
2. In October, a 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," according to
his wife, accidentally jogged off a 200-foot-high cliff on his daily run.
3. Buxton, NC: A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into the sand caved in as
he sat inside it. Beachgoers said Daniel Jones, 21 dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind, and
had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed, burying him
beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach, on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to
claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge, VA, but could not reach him. It took rescue workers
using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about 200 people looked on. Jones was
pronounced dead at a hospital.
4. In February, Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA, as he fell face-first through the
ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed
in his mouth (to keep his hands free) rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.
5. According to police in Dahlonega, GA, ROTC cadet Nick Berrena, 20, was stabbed to death in
January by fellow cadet Jeffrey Hoffman, 23, who was trying to prove that a knife could not penetrate the
flakvest Berrena was wearing.
6. In September, a 7-year-old boy fell off a 100-foot-high bluff near Ozark, Ark , after he lost his grip
swinging on a cross that marked the spot where another person had fallen to his death in 1990.
7. In Guthrie, Okla , in October, Jason Heck tried to kill a millipede with a shot from his 22-caliber
rifle, but the bullet ricocheted off a rock near the hole and hit pal Antonio Martinez in the head, fracturing
his skull.

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who managed to get the most out of his
computer. This had been going on for days and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering. God said,
"Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job."
So down they sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused away.
They did spreadsheets, They wrote reports, They sent faxes, They sent out e-mail, They sent out e-mail
with attachments.
They downloaded, They did some genealogy reports, They made cards, They did every known job.
But just a few minutes before the two hours were up a lightening flashed across the sky. The thunder
rolled and the rains came down hard. And of course the electricity went off. Satan was upset. He
fumed and fussed and he ranted and raved. All to no avail. The electricity stayed off.
But after a bit the rains stopped and the electricity came back on.
Satan screamed, "I lost it all when the power went off. What am I going to do? What happened to Jesus'
work?"
Jesus just sat and smiled. Again Satan asked about the work that Jesus had done. As Jesus turned his
computer back on the screen glowed and when he pushed "print ," it was all there. "How did he do
it?" Satan asked.
God smiled and said, "Jesus Saves."

3 wishes
Three women were out golfing one day and one of them hit her ball into the woods. She went into the
woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I
will grant you three wishes."
The woman freed the frog and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a
condition to your wishes - that whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!"
The woman said ,"That would be okay", and for her first wish she wanted to be the most beautiful
woman in the world...The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your
husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that woman will flock to him...".
The woman replied, "That will be okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only
have eyes for me...". So, poof - she's the most beautiful woman in the world! For her second wish, she
wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest
man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you...". The woman said, "That will be okay,
because what is mine is his, and what is his is mine...".
So, poof - she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish and she
answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack..."

Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter
Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not
picking anything up.
Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at
anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove
them.
Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that
they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends
are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this
compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big,
and I will not object. However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the
course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in
place to your waist.
Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can
kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
Rule Five:
In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the
day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect
to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is
"early."
Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me
as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will
continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.
Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do
not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is
putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of
just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?
Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas,
or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within
eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness.
Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops,
midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her
throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain
saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.
Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on
issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where
you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a
chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the
voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As
45
soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the
perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early,
then return to your car- there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is
mine.
Two prostitutes were riding around town with a sign on top of their car which said: “TWO
PROSTITUTES -- $50.00.”
A policeman, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they'd either have to remove the sign or go to
jail. Just at that time, another car passed with a sign saying: “JESUS SAVES.”
One of the girls asked the cop: “How come you don't stop them?!”
“Well, that's a little different,” the cop smiled. “Their sign pertains to religion.”
So the two ladies of the night frowned as they took their sign down and drove off.
The following day found the same cop in the area when he noticed the two ladies driving around with a
large sign on their car again. Figuring he had an easy arrest, he began to catch up with them when he
noticed the new sign which now read: “TWO ANGELS SEEKING PETER -- $50.00.”
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term:
"Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and
heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One of the students, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls
are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets
to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's
look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are
not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there are more that one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion,
we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase
exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law sates that
in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as
souls are added. This gives two possibilities.
1)If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and
pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2)Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature
and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year
"That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I still
have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then (2) cannot be true, and thus I am sure that
Hell is exothermic.
The student got the only A in that class.
Subject:
Little Johnny
Little Johnny and Susie Smith are only 10 years old, but they just know that they are in love. One day
they decide that they want to get married. So Johnny goes to Susie's father to ask him for her hand.
Johnny bravely walks up to him and says "Mr. Smith, Me and Susie are in love and I want to ask you for
her hand in marriage." Thinking that this was the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, "Well Johnny, you are
only 10. Where will you two live?" So without even taking a moment to think about it, Johnny replies
"In Susie's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely." Still thinking this is just
adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, "Okay, then how will you live? You're not old enough to get
a job. You'll need to support Susie." So again Johnny instantly replies, "Our allowance. Susie makes 5
46
bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month. That should do us just fine."
By this time Mr. Smith is a little shocked that Johnny has put so much thought into this. So, he thinks for
a moment trying to come up with something that Johnny won't have an answer to. After a second, Mr.
Smith says, "Well Johnny, it seems like you have got everything all figured out. I just have one more
question for you. What will you do if the two of you should have little ones of your own?"
Johnny just shrugs his shoulders and says "Well, we've been lucky so far".
Lessons I've learned
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic
and give in.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better have a big dick or huge tits.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more fucked up than you think.
I've learned that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there
had better be a lot of money to take its place.
I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones who do.
I've learned that we don't have to ditch bad friends because their dysfunction makes us feel better about
ourselves.
I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get arrested and end
up in the local paper.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less
important ones just never go away.
I've learned to say "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" in 6 languages.

Senility Prayer
God grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into
the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:
1. I started out with nothing .. I still have most of it.
2. When did my wild oats turn to prunes and All Bran?
3. I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
5. It is easier getting older than it is wiser.
6. The first rule of holes: If you are in one, stop digging.
7. I went to school to become a wit, only got halfway through.
8. Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.
9. Kids in the back seat cause accidents, accidents in the back seat cause kids.
10. It's hard to make a come back, when you haven't been anywhere.
11. If God wanted me to touch my toes he would have put them on my knees.
A Man and Woman have been having a relationship for about four months now. One Friday night, they
meet at a bar after work. They stay for a few, then go to get some food at a local restaurant near their
respective homes. They eat, then go back to his house and she stays over.
Her story:
He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar, I thought it might have been because I was a bit
late but he didn't say anything much about it.
The conversation was quite slow going so I thought maybe we could go off somewhere more intimate so
we'd talk more openly. So we went to this restaurant and he's STILL acting a bit funny and I'm trying to
cheer him up and start to wonder if it's me. I ask him, and he says no. But you know I'm not really sure.
So anyway, in the cab back to his house, I say that I love him and he just puts his arm around me. I don't
know what the hell this means because, you know, he doesn't say it back. We finally get back to his place
and I'm just convinced he's going to dump me! So I try to ask him about it but he just switches on the TV.
Reluctantly, I say I'm going to go to sleep. Then, after about 10 minutes, he joins me and we have sex.
But, he still seemed really distracted; afterwards I just wanted to leave. I don't know, I just don't know
what he thinks anymore. I mean, maybe he's met someone else....
His story:
Shitty day at work, low on funds, and tired. Got laid though.
Celibacy Test
Three young candidates for the priesthood are told by the Monsignor they have to pass one more test:
The Celibacy Test. The Monsignor leads them into a room, and tells them to undress, and a small bell is
tied to each man's penis. In comes a beautiful woman, wearing a sexy belly dancer costume. She begins
to dance sensually around the first candidate.
*Ting-a-ling* goes the bell...
"Oh Patrick," says the Monsignor, "I am so disappointed in your lack of control. Go take a long, cold
shower and pray about your carnal weakness." The candidate leaves.
The dancer then continues, slowly dancing around the second candidate and peeling off her layers of
veils. As the last veil drops: *Ting-a-ling* goes the little bell...
"Joseph, Joseph," sighs the Monsignor. "You too are unable to withstand your carnal desires. Go take a
long, cold shower and pray for forgiveness"
The dancer then proceeds to dance her sensuous dance around the third candidate. Slowly around him
she dances, now devoid of all of her veils, but the third candidate remains unmoved.
"James, my son, I am truly proud of you," says the Monsignor. "Only you have the true strength of
character needed to become a great priest". Now, go and join your weaker brethren in the shower".
*Ting-a-ling*

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures
Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown - BUT, it only takes
4 muscles to extend your arm and SMACK the asshole upside the head.
The Paradox of our Time
-
by George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider
freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller
families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge,
but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too
angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not
a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new
neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better
things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to
wait.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but we
communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and
shallow relationships. These are the times of world "peace" but constant conflict, more leisure but
less enjoyment, more kinds of food but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but broken homes. These are days of
quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills
that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom, a time when
technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or
to just hit delete.

READ THIS - LET IT REALLY SINK IN...
THEN CHOOSE HOW YOU START YOUR DAY..TOMORROW
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something
positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any
better, I'd be twins!"
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there, telling the
employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get
it. You can't be positive all the time. How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up
and say to myself, 'Mike, you have two choices today.
You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a
good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to
learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining I can choose to accept their complaining
or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy," I protested. "Yes it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices.
When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The
bottom line is: It's your choice how you live life."
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the tower industry to start my own business.
We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a
communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released
from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I
were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took
place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon to be born daughter,"
Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to
live or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But
when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses,
I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said
Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said.
The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.
I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity.’ Over their laughter, I told them, “I am choosing to live.
Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully.
Attitude is everything. You have two choices now: 1) delete this; 2) forward it to the people you care
about.

DISCLAIMER: This is by Dennis Leary
Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from a rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final
exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not
forwarding out 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send
them on, then that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise
enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freak show. Do
you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his" email to $1000?
How stupid are you? Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every
Playboy model in the magazine!
What a bunch of bullshit. So basically, this message is a big FUCK YOU to all the people out there who
have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter
leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain
which was started in 5A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if
it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak
of blatant stupidity. Fuck them. If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly
amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a
human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I
don't fucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by
sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity.
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:
Chain Letter Type 1:
Make a wish!!! No, really, go on and make one!!! Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!! Wish
something else!!! Not that, you pervert!! Is your finger getting tired yet? STOP!!!!
Wasn't that fun? :)
Hope you made a great wish :) Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't
send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high
building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is
TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes:
*Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter,
and may form a plot on your life.
*Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter
and will firebomb your house. Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!
Chain Letter Type 2
Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in klaliviatatlaglooshen
who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every
time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from
Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent
and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47
seconds. Oh, and a reminder- if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly.
52
Chain Letter Type 3
Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there
was no email then and probably not as many sad pricks with nothing better to do. So this is how it works:
Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:
*Bizarre Horror Story #1 Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had
recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer,
was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she
smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!
*Bizarre Horror Story #2 Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it.
Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They
both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could
Happen To You Too!!! Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all
of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.
Chain Letter Type 4: As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.
A friend is someone who is always at your side, A friend is someone who likes you even though you
stink of shit, and your breath smells like you've been eating catfood, A friend is someone who likes you
even though you're as ugly as a hat full of assholes, A friend is someone who cleans up for you after
you've soiled yourself, A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad,
sad life, A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by
mad chimpanzees, then thrown to vicious dogs, A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and
then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English... no, sorry that's the cleaning lady,
A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come
true.
Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again.
The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the
rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty
about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only
savior is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda.
Right? Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll have to look at me naked!
Some people are never satisfied.....enjoy
A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a fancy dress party.
He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg...so he writes to a fancy dress
company to explain the problem.
A few days later he receives a parcel with a note. "Dear Sir, please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The
spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a
pirate."
The man thinks this is terrible because they have just emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a rude
letter of complaint.
A week passes and he receives another parcel and a note, which says "Dear Sir, sorry about before,
please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg, and with your bald head
you will really look the part."
Now the man is really annoyed since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing
his bald head. He writes the company a REALLY rude letter of complaint.
The next day he receives a small parcel and a note which reads "Dear Sir, please find enclosed a bottle of
molasses. Pour the molasses over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a Caramel
apple!"
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hillary, and I got one for Chelsea. "
The Marine again snapped to attention, saluted, and replied....

There was this little old lady who was nearly blind and she had three sons who wanted to prove which
one was the best son to her.
So son #1 bought her a 15 room mansion thinking this would surely be the best any of them could offer
her.
Son #2 bought her a beautiful Mercedes with a chauffeur included thinking her would surely win her
approval.
Son #3 had to do something even better than these so he bought her a trained parrot that had been training
for 15 years to memorize the entire Bible. You could ask of him any verse in the Bible and the parrot
could quote it word for word. What a gift that would be.
Well, the old lady went to the first son and said, "Son, the house is just gorgeous but it's really much too
big for me. I only live in one room, and it's much too large for me to clean and take care of. I really
don't need the house, but thank you anyway."
54
Then she confronted her second son with "Son, the car is beautiful, it has everything you could ever want
on it, but I don't drive and I really don't like that driver, so please return the car."
Next, she went to son number three and said, "Son I just want to thank you for that most thoughtful gift.
That chicken was delicious."
The teacher asked her students to use the word “fascinate.” in a sentence. Mary said, “My family went to
the New York City Zoo, and we saw all the animals. It was fascinating.” The teacher said, “ That was
good, but I want the word “fascinate.” Sally raised her hand. She said, “My family went to the
Philadelphia Zoo and saw the animals. I was fascinated.” The teacher said, “Good, but I wanted the word
“fascinate.” Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because Johnny was noted for his bad
language. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word “fascinate” so she called on
him. Johnny said, "My sister has a sweater with 10 buttons, but her boobs are so big she can only fasten
8."

Two attorneys boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat.
Just before take-off, a physician got on and took the aisle seat next to the two attorneys.
The physician kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the attorney in the window
seat said," I think I'll get up and get a coke."
"No problem," said the physician, "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, one of the attorneys picked up the physician's shoe and spat in it. When he returned
with the coke, the other attorney said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too.
"Again, the physician obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other attorney picked up the
other shoe and spat in it.
The physician returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the
physician slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this
go on?" he asked.
"This fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity?
This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"
George Carlin quote:
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time.
What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when
you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough
to enjoy your retirement. you do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to
grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go
back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...you finish off as an orgasm."

From Bill Gates BOOK FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE GRADUATES:
Here is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school. In his book, Bill Gates talks about
how feel-good, politically-correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no
concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. You may
want to share this list with someone you know.
RULE 1: Life is not fair; get used to it.
RULE 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to
accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
RULE 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You
won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have
tenure.
RULE 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different
word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
RULE 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes,
learn from them.
RULE 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They
got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about
how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents'
generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.
RULE 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In
some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you
want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING
in real life.
RULE 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few
employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
RULE 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the
coffee shop and go to jobs.
RULE 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Phrases you wish you could use at work:
How about never? Is never good for you?
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
And your cry-baby whiny-butt opinion would be...?
Do I look like a people person?
Does your train of thought have a caboose?
How do I set a laser printer to stun?
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had
to kill today because they pissed me off.
And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on
today as they may be connected to the ass that I may have
to kiss tomorrow.
Help me to always give 100% at work....
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
20% on Thursday
5% on Fridays
And help me to remember.....
When I'm having a really bad day,
and it seems that people are trying to piss me off,
that it takes 42 muscles to frown and
only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me!
Amen

Dear Mom and Dad:
Our scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried.
We are OK. Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned
because we were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it happened. Oh yes, please call Chad's
mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search and
rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning.
Scoutmaster Walt got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Chad said he did tell
him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire,
the gas can will blowup? The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did. Also some of our clothes.
John is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Walt gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the
wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Walt said that a car that old you have to expect
something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance. We think it's a neat car. He doesn't
care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the fenders. It gets pretty hot with 10
people in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway patrolman stopped and talked to
us. Scoutmaster Walt is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to
drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up there are logging trucks.
59
This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Walt
wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Chad was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us
take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the
flood. Scoutmaster Walt isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life
jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.
Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm,
we got to see how a tourniquet works. Wade and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Walt said it probably was
just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison.
I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get things done
better while he was doing his time. By the way, what is pedophile? I have to go now. We are going to
town to mail our letters and buy bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
Love, Cole

Subject: Chinese Torture
A young man was wandering, lost, in a forest when he came upon a small house. Knocking on the door
he was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, gray beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put
me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter
I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "OK," said the man, thinking that
the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful and had a fantastic figure.
She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal.
Remembering the old man's warning he ignored her and went up to bed alone.
But during the night he could bear it no longer and snuck into her room for a night of passion. He was
careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear and, near dawn, he crept back to his room,
exhausted but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on
it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest."
"Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to
worry about."
60
He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed
another note on it that read "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle."
In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to taut. Figuring that a few
broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder.
As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right
testicle tied to bedpost.

“Wedding night” A Real Tiger
A couple was on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consummate their marriage, when the
new bride says to the husband, "I have a confession to make, I'm not a virgin."
The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age."
The wife continues, "Yeah, I've been with one guy."
"Oh yeah? Who was the guy?" "Tiger Woods." "Tiger Woods, the golfer?" "Yeah."
"Well, he's rich, famous and handsome. I can see why you went to bed with him."
The husband and wife then make passionate love. When they are done, the husband gets up and walks to
the telephone.
"What are you doing?" asks the wife.
The husband says, "I'm hungry, I was going to call room service and get something to eat."
"Tiger wouldn't do that."
"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"
"He'd come back to bed and do it a second time."
The husband puts down the phone and goes back to bed to make love a second time.
When they finish, he gets up and goes over to the phone.
"Now what are you doing?" She asks.
The husband says, "I'm still hungry so I was going to get room service to get something to eat."
"Tiger wouldn't do that."
"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"
"He'd come back to bed and do it again."
The guy slams down the phone, goes back to bed, and makes love one more time.
When they finish he's tired and beat. He drags himself over to the phone and starts to dial.
The wife asks, "Are you calling room service?"
"No! I'm calling Tiger Woods, to find out what's par for this damn hole".

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house.
The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband
arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his
wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at the
same time.
He goes over and asks her if she is ok. She replies yes. He asks what she is doing. She replies that she
wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by painting the house.
He then asks her why she has a ski jacket over her fur coat. She replies that she was reading the directions
on the paint can and they said....FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO COATS.
TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES AND ENJOY THE VIEW
There are so many things we take for granted. I am thankful for:
-The mess to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
-The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.
-The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
-My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
-The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
-All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
-That lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.
-The piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
-The lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I
have a home.
-My huge heating bill because it means that I am warm.
-Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means that I have been productive.
-The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive.
No matter how much we may not like something, or hate to do something, we are better off than others.

Subject: still crying - Texas Chili Cook-off
Notes from an Inexperienced Chili Taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas:
"Recently I was honored to be selected as an outstanding Famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off, because
no one else wanted to do it. Also, the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at
the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native
Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, about the same as usual, and besides, they told me I could have free beer
during the tasting, so I accepted."
Here are the scorecards from the event:
Chili #1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy smokes, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two
beers to put the flames out. Hope this is the worst one. These hicks are crazy.
Chili #2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky (barbeque?) with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I waved off two people
who tried to give me the Heimlich maneuver. Shoved my way to the front of the beer line.
Chili #3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.
FRANK: This has got to be a joke. Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano.
Everyone knows the routine by now and got out of my way so I could make it to the beer wagon. Barmaid pounded me on the
back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest.
Chili #4: Bubba's Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the bar maid was standing beside me
with fresh refills so I wouldn't have to dash over to see her.
Chili #5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick.
Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The
contestant seemed hurt when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue by pouring beer
directly on it from a pitcher. Sort of irritates me that one of the other judges asked me to stop screaming.
Chili #6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except
Sally.
Chili #7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho hum, tastes as if the chef threw in canned chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried
about Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth and pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel it. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the
world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My clothes are covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my mouth at some
point. Good, at the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful, and I'm not getting any
oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
Chili #8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge
Number 3 fell and pulled the chili pot on himself.
FRANK: (editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report)

The Old Rooster
A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop.
So, the new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK, old guy, time to retire."
The old rooster replies, "Come on, you can't handle ALL these chickens, look what it's done to me. Can't
you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"
The young rooster says, "Scram! Beat it! You're washed up and I'm taking over."
The old rooster says, "I'll tell you what, young stud, I'll race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins
gets exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."
The young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just to be fair, I'll give you a
head start."
So, they get a chicken to cluck "Go!" and the old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the
young rooster takes off after him. They round the front of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed
the gap. He's already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is
sitting on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM! He
blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head, "Darn it, third gay rooster I bought this
month."
An American tourist goes on a trip to China. While in China, he is very sexually promiscuous and does
not use a condom. A week after arriving back home in the States, he awakes one morning to find his
penis covered with bright green and purple spots.
Horrified, he immediately goes to see his doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before,
orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results.
The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says, "I've got bad news for you. You've contracted
Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here. We know very little about it." The man looks a
little perplexed and says, "Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, doc." The doctor answers,
"I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your penis." The man screams in
horror, "Absolutely not! I want a second opinion!" The doctor replies, "Well it's your choice. Go ahead if
you want, but surgery is your only choice."
The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll know more about the disease. The
Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims, "Ah yes, Mongolian VD. Very rare disease." The guys
says to the doctor, "Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what can you do? My American doctor wants to
operate and amputate my penis!" The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs, "Stupid American
doctor! American doctor, always want to operate. Make more money, that way. No need to operate!"
"Oh thank God!" the man replies. "Yes!" says the Chinese doctor, "You no worry! Wait two weeks. Dick
fall off by itself!
Subject: Dates
When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there
was no passion. So I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college I dated a passionate
girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency, she was a drama queen, cried all the time
and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability. When I was 25 I found a very stable
girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became
so dull that I decided I needed a girl with some excitement. When I was 28 I found an exciting girl, but I
couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She did mad
impetuous things and flirted with everyone she met. She made me miserable as often as happy. She was
great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some ambition.
When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married
her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned.
I am now 40 and am looking for a girl with very big tits.

A True Friend...
Two couples were playing cards. Jeff accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down
under the table to pick them up, he noticed that Dave's wife, Sandy, was not wearing any underwear!
Shocked by this, Jeff hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced.
Later when Jeff went to the kitchen to get some refreshments Sandy followed him and asked, "Did you
see anything under the table that you liked?" Jeff admitted, "Well, yes I did." She said "you can have it,
but it will cost you $100." After a minute or two, Jeff indicates that he
is interested. She tells him that since Dave works Friday afternoons and Jeff doesn't, that Jeff should
come to their house around 2:00 PM on Friday.
Friday came and Jeff went to her house at 2:00 PM. After paying her the $100, they went to the
bedroom, had sex for a few hours and then Jeff left.
Dave came home about 6:00 PM and asked his wife, "Did Jeff come by this afternoon?"
Totally shocked, Sandy replied, "Yes, he did stop by for a few minutes."
Next Dave asked, "Did Jeff give you $100?" Sandy thought, 'Oh hell, he knows!' Reluctantly she said,
"Yes, he did give me $100."
"Good," Dave says. "Jeff came by the office this morning and borrowed the $100 from me and said that
he'd stop by our house on his way home and pay me back.
It's so good to have a friend you can trust.

PUNS
1. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. When they lit a fire in the craft it sank, proving once and
for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
2. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The
other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, was
known as the lesser of two weevils.
3. A three-legged dog walked into a saloon in the Old West. He slid up to the bar and announced "I'm
looking for the man who shot my paw."
4. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He
wanted to transcend dental medication.
5. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their
recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to
disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
6. A man entered his local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one
of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
7. A woman had twins, and gave them up for adoption. One of them went to a family in Egypt and was
named Amahl. The other went to a family in Spain; they named him Juan. Years later, Juan sent a picture
of himself to his mother. Upon receiving the picture, she told her husband that she wished she also had a
picture of Amahl. Her husband responded, "But they are twins--if you've seen Juan, you've seen Amahl."
And the worst of the bunch:
8. Some friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise the
funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the "men of God," the rival florist across town thought
the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back
and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to ask the friars to get out of
business. They ignored her, too. So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most
vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store,
saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving
(Brace yourself.) That Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

Ebonics version of Windows 98
Compton City Schools has announced that its special Ebonics version of Windows 98, Retitled: "Dis Be
a Fresh Window" has been leaked to several white suburbs, causing confusion for unsuspecting
Caucasian users.
There are numerous differences between Windows 98 and the Ebonics version.
When opening the Ebonics version, the familiar Windows chime is replaced with a "phat getto track that
melts 'em down wit dope-ass bass." The opening screen features a Windows logo that is spray painted on
a brick wall -- along with several gangsta signs,
slogans and shout outs.
On the main screen, My Computer is replaced with "Dis My Shit."
The Recycle Bin has been replaced with a Goodwill dumpster, and the Internet Explorer shortcut reads,
"Tittie & Booty Sites."
If users are logged on to a network, the Network Neighborhood is replaced with "Da Hood."
Users have their choice of three animated screen savers:
"Marquee, "a lil' G spray-painting dirty words that move across the screen;
"Mystify," a 15-year-old crack whore giving birth to 12 children on screen, or
"Flying Bullets," a '64 Olds loaded with gangstas doing a desktop drive by.
Users of the Ebonics version will notice several command and dialog box changes:
Break Back In = Reentry
Aww Shit, Nigga = Error
U Betta Recognize = No
Itz All Good = OK
4 Real Doe = Yes
Hold Up, Dawg = Cancel
Do Dat Shit Again = Reset
Nigga, R U Crazy? = Are You Sure?
Hunt Dat Bitch Down = Find
Put A Cap In It = Delete
Games & Shit = Programs
Letter Shit = Documents
The Ebonics version comes standard with a special edition of Microsoft Works titled "Homie Essentials."
The word-processing program greatly differs from the mainstream program.
Several functions on the title bar have been changed:
Dat be Thang = File
I Be Seein' It = View
Put Sumpin In = Insert
Hook It Up = Format
Stuff I Ain't Need = Tools
Number Shit = Table
Break In = Window
What Da Fuck? = Help
Note: "Stuff I Ain't Need" does not include spelling or grammar check options. Also, the familiar
"AutoCorrect" has been replaced with "Keepin' It Real."

This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in

Dear Santa,
You must be surprised that I'm writing you today, the 26th of December.
Well, I would like very much to clear up certain things that have occurred since the beginning of the
month. While filled with illusions, I wrote you this letter. I asked for a bicycle, an electric train set, a pair
of roller blades, and a football uniform. I destroyed my brain studying the whole year! Not only was I
the first in my class, but I had the best grades in the whole school. I'm not going to lie to you Santa, there
was no one in my entire neighborhood that behaved better than me. With my parents, my brothers, my
friends and with my neighbors, I would go on errands and even help the elderly cross the street. There
was virtually nothing I wouldn't do for humanity!
SO WHAT BALLS YOU HAVE LEAVING ME A FUCKING YO-YO, A STUPID ASS WHISTLE,
AND A PAIR OF SOCKS! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING YOU FAT SON OF A
BITCH, THAT YOU'VE TAKEN ME FOR A SUCKER THE WHOLE FUCKING YEAR, JUST TO
COME OUT WITH SOME SHIT LIKE THIS UNDER THE DAMN TREE. AS IF YOU HADN'T
FUCKED ME ENOUGH, YOU GAVE THAT LITTLE SHITHEAD ACROSS THE STREET SO
MANY FUCKING THINGS THAT HE CAN'T EVEN WALK INTO HIS DAMN HOUSE!
DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU TRYING TO FIT YOUR BIG FAT ASS DOWN MY CHIMNEY
NEXT YEAR! I'LL FUCK YOU UP!!
I'LL THROW ROCKS AT THOSE STUPID-ASS REINDEER OF YOURS AND SCARE
THEM THE FUCK AWAY SO YOU'LL HAVE TO WALK YOUR BIG FAT ASS BACK TO THE
NORTHPOLE, JUST LIKE I HAVE TO DO SINCE YOU DIDN'T GET ME THAT FUCKING
BIKE, YOU PUNK BITCH!!
YOU KNOW WHAT SANTA? FUCK YOU!! NEXT YEAR YOU'LL FIND OUT HOW BAD I CAN
REALLY FUCKING BE....YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING MOTHERFUCKER FAR TOO LONG!! SO
WATCH YOUR BACK NEXT YEAR YOU FAT BITCH!
Sincerely,
Little Johnny
The best part about this is looking at who said these things...

This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army
General Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they
visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting? That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: Don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a
firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
And all I could think was, GO ARMY!

Does the expression, "We've always done it that way" ring any bells...
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd
number. Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads. Why did the
English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge
they used. Why did "they" use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which
used that wheel spacing. Okay!
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads
in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been
used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon
wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.
The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an
Imperial Roman war chariot.
And bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's ass came up with it, you may be exactly
right, because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of
two war horses.
Now the twist to the story...
There's an interesting extension to the story about railroad gauges and horses' behinds.
When we see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of
the main fuel tank.
These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah. The engineers
who designed the SRBs might have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train
from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the
mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the
railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was
determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.
... and you thought being a HORSE'S ASS wasn't important!

FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the
garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about
dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret
fears, and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two
people remembering the same thing.
When you have had one of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT days, try this:
On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the section where they have thermometers. You will need to
purchase a rectal thermometer made by *Q-Tip. Be very sure that you get this brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed during your
therapy.
Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed. Open the package and remove the
thermometer. Carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Take out the written material that accompanies the thermometer and read it. You will notice in small print the statement that
"Every rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested."
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, "I am so glad I do not work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company."
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS NOT STRAIGHT
THERE IS A CURVE CALLED FAILURE....A LOOP CALLED CONFUSION...
SPEED BUMPS CALLED FRIENDS...RED LIGHTS CALLED ENEMIES...
CAUTION LIGHTS CALLED FAMILY...YOU WILL HAVE FLATS CALLED JOBS
BUT...
IF YOU HAVE A SPARE CALLED DETERMINATION...
AN ENGINE CALLED PERSEVERANCE...INSURANCE CALLED FAITH...
A DRIVER CALLED JESUS...
YOU WILL MAKE IT TO A PLACE CALLED SUCCESS!

The Horse and the Chicken.
A horse and a chicken are playing in a meadow. The horse falls into a mud hole and is
sinking. He calls to the chicken to go and get the farmer to help pull him out to safety.
The chicken runs to the farm but the farmer can't be found. So he drives the farmer's
BMW back to the mud hole and ties some rope around the bumper. He then throws the
other end of the rope to his friend, the horse, and drives the car forward saving him from
sinking! A few days later, the chicken and horse were playing in the meadow again and
the chicken fell into the mud hole. The chicken yelled to the horse to go and get some help
from the farmer. The horse said, "I think I can stand over the hole!" So he stretched over
the width of the hole and said, "Grab for my penis and pull yourself up." And the chicken
did and pulled himself to safety.
THE MORAL: If you're hung like a horse, you don't need a BMW to pick up chicks.

The Typical Attorney
A Mafia Godfather, accompanied by his attorney, walks into a room to meet with his Ex-accountant. The
Godfather asks the accountant, "Where is the 3 million bucks you embezzled from me?" The accountant
does not answer. The Godfather asks again, "Where is the 3 million bucks you embezzled from me?"
The attorney interrupts, "Sir, the man is a deaf mute and cannot understand you, but I can interpret for
you." The Godfather says, "Well ask him where my damn money is!" The attorney, using sign language,
asks the accountant where the 3 million dollars is. The accountant signs back, "I don't know what you are
talking about." The attorney interprets to the Godfather, "He doesn't know what you are talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a 9 millimeter pistol, puts it to the temple of the accountant, cocks the hammer
and says, "Ask him again where my damn money is!" The attorney signs to the accountant, "Wants to
know where it is!" The accountant signs back, "OK! OK! OK!, the money is hidden in a brown
suitcase behind the shed in my backyard!" The Godfather says, "Well, what did he say?" The attorney
interprets to the Godfather, "He says, Go to hell, you don't have the guts to pull the trigger."

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company.
One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he notices a leopard
heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.
The dog thinks, "Holy Crap ! I could be in trouble here!"
Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the
approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any
more around here?"
Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid stride and slinks away into the trees with a feeling of terror coming over him.
"Whew", says the leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good
use and trade it for protection from the leopard.
So, off he goes.
The dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The cat is
furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen
to that smart ass dog."
Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?"
But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet.
Just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that monkey ? I just can never trust him. I sent him off half an
hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire out on the lonesome prairie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are
famous. A night of tall tales begins.
The first says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the corral and
gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands."
The second can't stand to be bested. "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday, and a fifteen foot rattler slid
out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off, and sucked the
poison down in one gulp. And I'm still here today."
The third cowboy remained silent, slowly stirring the coals with his penis.
Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together,
discussing how important their children are.

Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic woman says smugly, "Well, not to put you
down, but my son is a cardinal. Whenever he walks into a
room, people say, 'Your Eminence'.
The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first
three women give her this subtle "Well...?" She replies,
"My son is a gorgeous, 6' 2", hard-bodied, well-hung,
male stripper. Whenever he walks into a room, people say,
"My God......"
THE MISTRESS
A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman
comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, tells him she'll see him later, and walks away.
His wife glares at him and says, "Who was that??!!" "Oh," replies the husband, "that was my mistress."
The wife says, "That's it; I want a divorce."
"I understand," replies her husband, "but, remember, if you get a divorce, there will be no more shopping trips to
Paris, no wintering in the Caribbean, no Infinity or Lexus in the garage, and no more Country Club. But the
decision is yours."
Just then the wife notices a mutual friend entering the restaurant with gorgeous woman. "Who's that woman with
Jim?
"she asks. "That's his mistress," replies her husband.
... "Ours is prettier," says the wife.

THE JOCK VERSUS THE NERD -- Investigate The Jock First...
Now that Michael Jordan has retired... his income has "dipped" to only $40 million based on endorsements.
Per day... $178,000.
Eight hours of sleep... $59,500 while visions of sugarplums dance in his head.
When he sees a movie it costs around $7.00... and he'll earn $18550 during the show.
When he cooks a 5-minute egg... he earns $618.
He earns a little more than minimum wage... $7,415 an hour more than minimum wage.
Watch Friends... and he earns $3710.
Let's see, that makes the purchase price of a new $90,000 Acura NSX... around 12-hours of work or play.
He pays $200 for a round of golf... but is reimbursed $33,900.
Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred account (401k), his contributions
will hit the federal cap of $9500 at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st.
If you were given a penny for every 10 dollars he made... you'd be living comfortably at $65,000 a year.
He earns about $19.60 watching the 100 meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston
Marathon.
While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about
$5600.
This year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined. Amazing

A Few Zen Thoughts For Those Who Take Life Too Seriously
Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
A day without sunshine is like, night.
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
Honk if you love peace and quiet.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.
Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your week.
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
Always try to be modest, and be proud of it!
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand...
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened.
88
1. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
2. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's
workshop," the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
3. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all
that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can
afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford!
4. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh
so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive
laughter.
5. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who
is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be alive while you are alive,
don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in
residence for your mail.
6. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
7. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign
country, but not to guilt country.
8. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.
9. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER Life is not measured by the number of
breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Enjoy Life and Be Happy - Stand Tall and Look Forward

Subject: America
Let's see if I understand how America works lately.
If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she was holding in her lap while driving, she blames the restaurant.
If your teen-age son kills himself, you blame the rock 'n' roll music or musician he liked.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.
If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school for poor sex education.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame the bartender.
If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot up with heroin was dirty, you blame the government
for not providing clean ones.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
If a deranged madman shoots your friend, you blame the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilots at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him
instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So if I die while my old, wrinkled ass is parked
in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates, OK?
Isn't it amazing that the George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's could write something so very eloquent...
and so very appropriate post 9/11. He
is a genius at writing about the ironies and contradictions in our society.
A wonderful Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but
narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have
less. We buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more
medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up
too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom!
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too
often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We
conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered
the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more
computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and
pills that do everything from cheer,
to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or
to just hit delete.
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember;
say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave
your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your
heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace
will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be
there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
A Closed Mouth Gathers No Food.

$10 dollar jar:
A new guy in town walks into a bar and notices a very large jar behind
the counter, which is filled to the brim with ten-dollar bills. The man
guesses there must be thousands of dollars in it and approaches the bartender to
ask, "What's up with the jar?"
The bartender answers, "Well, you pay ten dollars and if you pass three tests, then you get all the
money."
"What are the three tests?" "Pay first; those are the rules."
The guy gives him the ten bucks and the bartender adds it to the jar and says, "OK, here's what you have
to do. First you have to drink that whole gallon of pepper tequila; the WHOLE thing at once, AND you
can't make a face while doing it. Second, there's a
pit bull chained up out back with a sore tooth; you have to remove the tooth with your bare hands. Third,
there is a 90-year-old woman upstairs who's never had an orgasm in her life; you gotta make things right
for her."
"Well, I know I've paid my ten bucks but I'm not an idiot; I won't do it.
You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of tequila and get crazier from there."
"Your call; but, your money stays in the jar."
Well, as time goes on and the man drinks a few, he asks, "Wherez zat teeqeelah?" He grabs the gallon of
tequila with both hands and downs it with a big slurp. Tears are streaming down his cheeks, but he
doesn't make a face. Next he staggers out back and soon all the people inside hear a huge scuffle going
on. They hear barking and screams, yelps, and growling, then eventually silence.
Just when they think the man must surely be dead, he staggers back into the bar with his shirt ripped and
big scratches all over his body.
"NOW," he says, "where's that woman with the sore tooth???
A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while,
he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"
The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that
joke, sir, you should know five things.
1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.
2 - The bouncer is a blonde gal.
3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 200 pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weightlifter.
5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.
Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?
The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."
A new element has been discovered:
A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The
new element has been tentatively named "Governmentium ." Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy
neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by
forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since governmentium has
no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute
amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it would normally take less than a
second. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a
portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, governmentium's mass will actually increase
over time, since each reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of
moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity
in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass." You will know it when you see it.
Subject: Re: In Court...
Hooray for Dennis Miller!! He said recently on his show, regarding the judges who declared the Pledge of Allegiance
unconstitutional: "So, Your Honor, the Pledge is unconstitutional because it says 'Under God'. Guess that means when you
were sworn in with your hand on a Bible, and at the end of your oath repeated, 'So Help Me God' that makes your job
unconstitutional, therefore you have no job, which means your ruling doesn't mean shit."

For more than an hour, a man sat at a bar staring into his glass.
Suddenly a burly truck driver sat down next to him, grabbed the guy's drink and gulped it down.
The poor fellow burst into tears. "Oh, come on, pal," the truckie said.
"I was just joking. Here I'll buy you another one."
"No, that's not it," the man blubbered. "This has been the worst day of my entire life. This morning I was late for
work and ended up getting fired. When I left the office I found my car had been stolen, so I had to walk
ten kilometers home. Then I walked in and found my wife with another man, so I came here. And just when I'm
about to end it all, you show up and drink my fu**ing Poison."

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on an interstate road for a nice evening drive. The top
was down, the breeze was blowing through his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle
jumped up to 80 mph he suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him. ''They'll never
catch me,'' he thought to himself and opened her up further.
The needle hit 90, 100 110 and finally 120 with the lights still behind him. ''What am I doing?'' he
thought and pulled over.
The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car. ''I've had a
tough shift and this is my last pull over. I don't feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an
excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before you can go!'' he said.
''Last week my wife ran off with a cop,'' the man said, ''and I was afraid you were trying to give her
back!''
''Have a nice night,'' said the officer.

The Lost Chapter of Genesis
Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely. So God asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman.
He said, "this pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will
wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you and will always be
the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you!
She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them.
She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it."
Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"
God replied, "An arm and a leg."
Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"
Of course the rest is history....
Subject: moral of the story
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment:
Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg laying hens.
One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big
bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."
"What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too.
But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we
only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, "don't count your chickens before they're
hatched."
"That was a fine story Sarah. Michael, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in the Gulf
War and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of
whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break
and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the
machine gun until she ran out of bullets.
Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with
her bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible
story?"
"Stay the fuck away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking."
Gassy Granny
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me
too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since
I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was farting because they don't smell and are silent."
The doctor says, "I see, take these pills and come back to see me next week."
The next week the lady goes back. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the hell you gave me, but now
my farts -- although still silent -- stink terribly."

OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
1. Men are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the

14. There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will

15. How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

sooner."
17. You read about all these terrorists -- most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas, some
for as long as 10-15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster; you are two days late with a video and those people are all over
you. Let's put Blockbuster in charge of immigration.
Cowboy Logic:
There is no arguing with this cowboy logic.
A few years ago, the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to Wyoming ranchers for
controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true methods of shooting and/or
trapping the predator, the tree-huggers had a "more humane" solution.
What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males Castrated and let loose again and the population
would be controlled.
This was ACTUALLY proposed to the Wyoming Wool and Sheep Grower "s Association by the Sierra Club and the USFS .
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally, an old boy in the back stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand the problem.
Those coyotes ain't fuckin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em"

Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film
The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock,
with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to
a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her
room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her
tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new
puppy.
"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room....Just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied.
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on
how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it ... "It's a decision
I make every morning when I wake up.
"I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body
that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.
"Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've
stored away ... just for this time in my life.
"Old age is like a bank account ... you withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be
to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my
Memory bank. I am still depositing."

Two strangers are sitting in an adjacent seats in airplane. One guy says to

The other guy, who had just opened a good book, closes it slowly, takes off
his glasses and asks, "What would you like to discuss?"
The first guy says, "Oh, I don't know; how about Nuclear Power?"
The other guy says, "OK, that could make for some pretty interesting conversation. But let me ask you a question
first: A horse, a cow, and
a deer all eat the same stuff, but the deer excretes pellets; the cow, big
patties; and the horse, clumps of dried grass. Why is that?"
The first guy says, "I don't know."
The other guy says, "Oh? Well then, do you really think you're qualified to
discuss Nuclear Power when you don't know shit?"

6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.

Shit may just be the most powerful word in the English language.
You can be shit faced, shit out of luck, or have shit for brains.
With a little effort, you can get your shit together, find a place for your shit or decide to shit or get
off the pot.
You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit and die.
Some people know their shit while others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola.
There are lucky shits, dumb shits, crazy shits, and sweet shits.
There is bull shit, chicken shit, and horse shit.
You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, or duck when shit hits the fan.
You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.
You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.
Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty.
Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit.
You can have too much shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit.
You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle.
Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you swim in a lake of shit and come
out smelling like a rose.
When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of creation.
And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else!
You could pass this along if you give a shit...
The Plan:
Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan... what we
need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)
I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a
plan for peace. So, here's one plan:
1) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their
affairs, past &present. We will promise never to "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with
Germany, South Korea and the Philippines. They don't want us there.
We would station troops at our borders. No more sneaking through
holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and
leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days
the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately,
regardless of who, or where they are. France would welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90
day visits unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist
nation would be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it
yourself, don't hide here. Asylum would not ever be available to
anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers.
5) No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they
100
don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home, baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self sufficient energy
wise. This will include developing non polluting sources of energy
but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan
wilderness.
The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel
for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else.
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we
will not "interfere". They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds,
rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give
them gets "lost" or is taken by their army. The people who need it
most get very little, anyway.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an island some place. We don't need
the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, it would make a
good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
9a) Use the buildings as replacement for the twin towers.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no
one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.
Now, ain't that a winner of a plan.

your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's

Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the 3 most powerful men in America
are named,

A lady walks into a Jaguar dealership. She browses around, then spots the perfect car and walks over to
inspect it. As she bends over to feel the fine leather upholstery, a loud fart escapes her.
Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little accident and hopes a sales
person doesn't pop up right now.
As she turns back, there standing next to her is a salesman.
"Good day, Madame. How may we help you today?"
Very uncomfortably she asks, "Sir, what is the price of this lovely vehicle?"
He answers, "Madame, I'm very sorry to say that if you farted just touching it, you are going to shit when you hear
the price."
A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a bottle.
She picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared.
The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes. The Genie said,
"Nope, sorry three-wish genies are a story-tale myth. I'm a one-wish
genie. So...what'll it be?" The woman didn't hesitate. She said, "I
want peace in the Middle East. See this Map? I want these countries
to stop fighting with each other and I want all the Arabs to love
Jews and Americans and vice-versa. It will bring about world peace
and harmony." The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be
reasonable. These countries have been at war for thousands of years.
I'm out of shape after being in a bottle for five hundred years. I'm
good but not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make another
wish and please be reasonable." The woman thought for a minute and
said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know,
one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the
house cleaning, is great in bed and gets along with my family,
doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That's what I
wish for .. a good man." The Genie let out a long sigh, shook his
head and said, "Let me see that freakin' map again."
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
(George Carlin)
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever
Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.Be ALIVE while you are alive.
102
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take ,but by the moments that take our breath away.
Subject: Lone Ranger & Tonto
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert, have set up their tent, and are asleep. Some hours later, the
Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend.
"Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" asks The Lone Ranger.
Tonto ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially
billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn's in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a
quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Methodologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What it tell you, Kemo Sabi?"
The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then says, "Tonto, you dumb ass, it means someone has stolen our tent."
Don't know Andy Rooney, he is a 82 year old US TV commentator (2003)
I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over
who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car,
but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl
Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that
are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment
Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine,
White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking
down your door.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not
racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates in my
office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it
in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and

I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed. I know what the

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs,
government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That
doesn't stop you from watching them.
I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an
attitude.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go
and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that
invented the Internet to help you.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their
little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"
"I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And,
please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me
french fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa;
so how can they be "African Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a
European American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to
be from America and nowhere else.
And if you don't like my point of view, tough. DON'T PASS IT ON!!

Joe wanted to buy a motorcycle. He doesn't have much luck, until, one day,
he comes across a beautiful Honda Gold Wing with a for sale sign on it.
The bike seems even more beautiful than a new one, although it is 10 years
old. It is shiny and in absolutely mint condition. He immediately buys it,
and asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years.
"Well, it's quite simple, really," says the seller, "whenever the bike is outside
and it's going to rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It protects it from the rain."
And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline.
That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over to meet her parents.
Naturally, they take the bike there. But just before they enter the house,
Sandra stops him and says, "I have to tell you something about my family before
we go in. When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says
anything during dinner has to do the dishes."
"No problem," he says. And in they go.
Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a huge stack of
dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes.
Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty dishes.
They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word.
As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation.
So he leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches over
and fondles her breasts. Still, nobody says a word.
So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and screws
her right there, in front of her parents.
His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and her mom horrified
when he sits back down, but no one says a word.
He looks at her mom and thinks "She's got a great body." So he grabs mom, bends
her over the dinner table, and has his way with her every which way right there on
the dinner table. Now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, but still, total silence.
All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Joe remembers his
motorcycle, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket. Suddenly the father backs
away from the table and shouts:
"Alright, enough already, I'll do the F **king dishes!"
How do you tell the difference between liberals, conservatives, and southerners?
Pose the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man
with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and
charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you
and your family.
What do you do?
Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever
done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think?
What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does
the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold
on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier,
healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

CARS VS. COMPUTERS
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives,
read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry
with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we
would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon".
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed
technology like! Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just
love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side
of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could
continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse
to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as
easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car
Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you
simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again
because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You’d have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

1. Andy Rooney on Monica.
Can you believe it? Monica turned 28 this week.
It seems like only yesterday that she was crawling round the White House on her hands and knees.
2. Andy Rooney on Vegetarians.
Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning "lousy hunter".
3. Andy Rooney on Prisoners.
Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner? Jeez, for forty thousand bucks
apiece I'll take a few prisoners into my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on the windows.
I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day
on a treadmill and generate electricity. And, if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to
the generator.
4. Andy Rooney on Fabric Softeners.
My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me,
sniffing, then saying under their breath, "Married!" and walking away. Fabric softeners are how our wives mark
their territory. We can take off the ring. But, it's hard to get that April Fresh scent out of your clothes.
5. Andy Rooney on morning differences.
Men and women are different in the morning. We men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just
wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, "How can he want me the way I look in the morning?" It's
because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve.
6.Andy Rooney on cripes
My wife's from the midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome. They use words like 'Cripes' 'For Cripes
sake.' Who would that be; Jesus Cripes? The son of 'Gosh' of the church of 'Holy Moly'? I'm not making fun of
it. You think I wanna burn in 'Heck'?
7. Rooney on Grandma
My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, 'Sexy Senior Citizen.' You don't want to think of your

gave you for your birthday.
8. Rooney on answering machines.
Did you ever hear one of these corny positive messages on someone's answering machine? "Hi, it's a great day and

yeah...this is the VD clinic calling....Speaking of being positive, your test results are back. Stop sharing the love.."

Motto of the modern woman:
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free," here's an update
for you.
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an
entire pig, just to get a little sausage.

Psych Advice
A man was having trouble sleeping because of a weird dream he kept having. Finally he followed his wife's advice
and went to a psychiatrist.
"Doc, I just have to get some sleep," he said, "but I can't because I keep waking up from this bizarre dream I keep
having. Can you please help me?"
"Ok, let's start by having you describe the dream," replies the shrink.
"Well, first I dream that I am a teepee, then I dream I am a wigwam," the man says. "Can you help me figure out
my problem?"
The doctor smiles reassuringly and responds, "I know what your problem is. You're two tents."
Diagnosis
While making the rounds, Dr. Owens points out an X-Ray to a group of medical students.
"As you can see," he says, "the patient limps because his left fibula and tibia are radically arched. Phil Parker, what
would you do in a case like this?" He pondered for a second and answered,
"I guess I'd limp, too."
Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality, who dispenses advice to people who call in to her Radio show.
On her radio show recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination,
according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet.
It's funny, as well as thought-provoking.
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show,
and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual
lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination - end of
debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from
neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?
Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you
think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness Lev.15:19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The
problem is - my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2.clearly states he should be put to death.
Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination
than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I
wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is
expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I
108
wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife
by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone
them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who
sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am
confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan,

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN
The day finally arrived; Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.
He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself.
However, the gates are closed and Forrest approaches the Gatekeeper.
St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you.
We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we've been administering an
entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds, "It shor is good to be here, St. Peter, sir.
110
But nobody ever tolt me about any entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain't too hard; life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter goes on, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up and says, "Now
that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."
Forrest says, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begin with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one's easy.
That'd be Today and Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, "Forrest, that's not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I
didn't specify, so I'll give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" asks St. Peter.
"How many seconds in a year?"
"Now that one's harder," says Forrest, "but I thunk and thunk about that and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve!? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a
year?"
Forrest says "Shucks, there's gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd."
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're going with this, and I see your point, though that wasn't quite what I had in
mind...but I'll have to give you credit for that one, too. Let's go on with the third and final question.
Can you tell me God's first name?"
"Sure", Forrest replied, "it's Andy."
"Andy?!" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter.
"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come
up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song." Are you ready?
"ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN".

Getting Old
A very elderly gentleman, (mid nineties) very well dressed, hair well groomed, great looking suit, flower
in his lapel smelling slightly of a good after shave, presenting a well looked-after image, walks into an
upscale cocktail lounge. Seated at the bar is an elderly looking lady, (mid eighties). The gentleman
walks over, sits alongside of her, orders a drink, takes a sip,
turns to her and says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the
doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect.
Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told
my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to
the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about
my age. How do you feel?" Slim says, "I feel just like a new-born baby." "Really!? Like a new-born
baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went
into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new
restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly. The other man said, "What is the
name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that
flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that's red and has thorns." "Do you mean a
rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the
name of that restaurant we went to last night?
Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a
student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman –
already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet – who insisted he didn't need my help to
leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in
the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER!
Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the
lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!!
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of the National Public Radio (NPR) interview
between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he
brought to his military base.
FEMALE REPORTER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys while they're
visiting your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, and shooting.
FEMALE REPORTER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: Not at all, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE REPORTER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: No we are very safety conscious and will be teaching them proper rifle discipline

FEMALE REPORTER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

THE MARRIAGE COUNSELOR
The husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage.
The counselor asks them what the problem is and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever
had in the 15 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on.
Finally, the counselor gets up, goes around the desk, embraces the woman and kisses her passionately rips off her
clothes and makes mad passionate love to her. Needless to say, the woman shuts up and sits quietly with a very
satisfied daze.
113
The counselor turns to the husband and says "that is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do
that?"
The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "Well, I can get her here Monday and Wednesday, but Friday I play
golf.
SOCIAL SECURITY
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry but I
seemed to have left my wallet at home... "I will have to go home and come back later."
Upon that the woman says, "No you don't sir, just unbutton your shirt." So I opened my shirt there in revealing my
curly silver hair.
Seeing that, she said "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me" and she proceeded to process my
Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
To which she said, "You should have dropped your pants. You would have gotten disability, too."

Regrets
A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. She put on her robe and went
downstairs. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be in deep
thought, just staring at the wall.
She saw him wipe a tear from his eye and take a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter dear?
Why are you down here at this time of night?" she asked.
114
"Do you remember twenty years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?" he asked.
"Yes, I do," she replied.
"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car kissing?"
"Yes, I remember."
"Do you remember when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or spend
twenty years in jail?'"
"Yes, I do," she said.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "You know...I would have gotten out today."

Top Thoughts for 2005
Life is sexually transmitted.
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2005 We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in
America but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.
Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.
Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence.
The Priest said, "Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may
not speak until I direct you to do so."
Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for five years before the Priest said to her, "Sister Mary
Katherine, you have been here for five years. You may speak two words."
Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."
"I'm sorry to hear that," the Priest said, "We will get you a better bed."
After another five years, Sister Mary Katherine was called by the Priest.
"You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine."
"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in
the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine into his office.
"You may say two words today."
"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.
"It's probably best," said the Priest. "You've done nothing but bitch since you got here."
The Psychiatrist and the Proctologist
Two doctors opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and
Proctology."
The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to "Hysterias and Posteriors."
This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council they changed the sign to "Schizoids and
Hemorrhoids." No go.
Next, they tried "Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again.
Then came "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Still not good.
Another attempt resulted in "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again.
So they tried "Lost Souls and Ass Holes." No way.
"Analysis and Anal Cysts?" Nope. "Nuts and Butts?" Uh uh.
"Freaks and Cheeks?" Still ! no go. "Loons and Moons?" Forget it.
Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with:
" Dr Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends."
And they loved it.

The 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest:
#1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess
looks at him and says, "I'm sorry Sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
#2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says, "Dam!"
#3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft.
Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat
it too.
#4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other asks,
"Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive."
#5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His
goal: transcend dental medication.
#6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the
lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the
manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they
asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in
an open foyer."
#7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a
family in Egypt and is named Ahmal. The other goes to a family in Spain; they
name him Juan. Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother.
Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a
picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan,
you've seen Ahmal."
#8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small
florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of
God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the
good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the
friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the
roughest and most vicious thug in town to 'persuade' them to close. Hugh beat up
the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop.
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist
friars.
#9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little which
made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This
made him ..... (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good).....A super calloused fragile
mystic hexed by halitosis.
#10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends,
with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten
did.

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.
"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to
you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be
assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous
snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the
soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.
To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow
slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of
us is threatened, we are all at risk.
We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort
to encourage one another.
REMEMBER: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
5 L’s
Live each day as if you may die tomorrow
Learn each day as if you will live forever.
Listen to people as if they matter.
Love people as they are or leave them alone.
Laugh so the world won't get you.
