4 LETTER WORDS
A young couple got married and left on their honeymoon.
When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother.
Her mother asked, "How was the honeymoon?"
"Oh, mama," she replied, "the honeymoon was wonderful! So
romantic..." Suddenly, she burst out crying. "But mama, as
soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible
language...things I had never heard before! I mean, all
these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come get me and
take me home... Please, mama!"
"Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "calm down! Tell me, what
could be so awful? What 4-letter words?"
"Please don't make me tell you, mama," wept the daughter.
"I'm so embarrassed. They're just too awful! Come get me,
please!"
"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset...
Tell your mother these horrible 4-letter words!"
Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, mama...words like
DUST, WASH, IRON, COOK...!"
HIDDEN COMPLEMENT
Shawn was sitting in his usual place at the table,
reading the paper during breakfast. He came across an
article about a beautiful actress who was about to marry
a football player known primarily for his lack of I.Q.
and common knowledge.
He turned to his wife with a look of bewilderment on his
face and said, "I'll never understand why the biggest
jerks get the most attractive wives."
His wife replied, "Why, thank you, dear."
ALCOHOL
A southern minister was completing a temperance sermon.
With great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in
the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the
wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river."
And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey
in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.
" Sermon complete, he then sat down.
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with
a smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365:
'Shall We Gather at the River'."

TECHNIQUES
The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the
best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test.
He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it. The
CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They
question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive
investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist. The FBI goes in.
After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in
it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies.The rabbit had it
coming. The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly
beaten bear.
The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!'
AT A PRAYER MEETING
An ELDERLY gentleman was sitting next to me, and after
we'd been introduced, but before the meeting started,
he leaned over & said "ever notice how many women attend
these things?"
I acknowledged that yes, there were more women than men.
A few minutes later, he leaned over again & said "A man
would be a FOOL not to try to get into Heaven!"
JURY DUTY
Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to
be excused because she didn't believe in capital punishment
and didn't want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial
from running its proper course. But the public defender liked
her thoughtfulness and quiet calm, and tried to convince her
that she was appropriate to serve on the jury.
"Madam," he explained, "this is not a murder trial! It's a simple
civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband
because he gambled away the $12,000 he had promised to use
to remodel the kitchen for her birthday."
"Well, okay," agreed Mrs. Hunter, "I'll serve. I guess I could
be wrong about capital punishment after all."
MISSED E-MAIL
An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago
for a vacation in Florida. His wife 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 in the address, 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.
Your Loving Husband
P.S. Sure is hot down here.

CANDLES
I was escorted to a wedding by my twenty-four-year-old
bachelor son. He appeared unaffected by the ceremony
until the bride and groom lighted a single candle with their
candles and then blew out their own. With that he brightened
and whispered, "I've never seen that done before." I whispered
back, "You know what it means, don't you?" His response:
"No more old flames?"
HIGHLY REGARDED
Two guys were at a bar talking about how highly their
wives thought of them.
The first guy said, "My wife, she thinks so much of me
that she won't let me do any work around the house.
It's incredible."
The second guy says, "That's nothing. My wife thinks
I'm God."
"She thinks you're God? What makes you say that?"
"Easy. Every night she places a burnt offering before me."
THE WAIT
My husband was going on a diet, but when we pulled into a
fast-food restaurant, he ordered a milkshake. I pointed out
that a shake isn't exactly the best snack for someone who
wants to lose weight. He agreed, but he didn't change his
order. The long line must have given him time to make the
connection between his order and his waistline. As the
woman handed him his shake, she said, "Sorry about the wait."
"That's okay," he replied. "I'm going to lose it."

AGE RECKONING
Some tourists in the Chicago Museum of Natural History are marveling at
the dinosaur bones. One of them asks the guard, 'Can you tell me how old
the dinosaur bones are?'
The guard replies, 'They are 3 million, four years, and six months old.'
'That's an awfully exact number,' says the tourist. 'How do you know
their age so precisely?'

HILLARY'S PREGNANT
Hillary Clinton went in for her yearly check-up.
When it was finished, she asked her gynecologist
how everything was. He said he was pleased and that
she was in great shape, and that she was pregnant.
"No way!" she exclaimed, but he assured her she was
most definitely pregnant.
She stormed out of the examining room, grabbed the
receptionist's phone and dialed the private line in
the Oval Office. When Bill answered the phone, she
shouted, "I can't believe it! I'm pregnant!
You got me pregnant!"
The president didn't say anything, and she screamed,
"Didn't you hear me? I'm pregnant! You got me pregnant!"
Hesitantly, the president asked, "Um... who IS this?"
BOOK OF ACADEMIC LIFE
Today's reading is from the "Book of Academic Life",
Chapter 1, verses 1-15.
In the beginning was the Plan.
And with the Plan were the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the faculty.
And they spoke among themselves saying, "It is a
crock of shit and it stinks."
And the faculty went unto their Chairs and said,
"It is a bucket of dung and we cannot live with
the smell."
And the Chairs went unto the Deans saying, "It is
a container of organic waste, and it is very
strong, such that none may abide it."
And the Deans went unto their Associate Vice-Provosts,
saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may
abide its strength."
And the Associate Vice-Provosts spoke among themselves,
saying, to one another, "It contains that which aids
plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Associate Vice-Provosts went to the Provost,
saying, unto him, "It promotes growth, and it is very
powerful."
And the Provost went to the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and
vigor of the university with very powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan and deemed that
it was good.
And thus the Plan became Policy.
And this is how shit happens.

BLOND CHEAT
A blonde, a redhead, and a brunette were shipwrecked on a
tiny isle in the middle of the ocean.
The brunette said, "Let's see who can get to the mainland
first by breaststroke."
After a couple of days, the brunette made it to the mainland.
A few days after that, the redhead made it to the mainland.
Two weeks after that, the blonde arrived on the mainland and
said, "I think you two cheated by using your arms."
SPARROW
Once upon a time, there was a nonconformist sparrow who decided
to not fly south for the winter. However, soon the weather had
turned so cold that he reluctantly decided to fly south. In a
short time, ice began to form on his wings, and he fell to earth
nearly frozen solid, landing in a barnyard.
A cow passed by where the sparrow had fallen and crapped on the
little bird. The sparrow thought it was the end, but the manure
warmed him and defrosted his wings! Warm and happy and able to
breath, the sparrow started to sing. Just then, a large cat
came by and heard the chirping. The cat cleared away the manure,
found the chirping bird, and promptly ate him.
The moral of the story: Everyone who craps on you is not
necessarily your enemy; everyone who gets you out of crap is
not necessarily your friend; and if you're warm and happy in a
pile of crap, you might just want to keep your mouth shut.

GUILTY
A police officer pulls over this guy who's been
weaving in and out of the lanes. He goes up to
the guy's window and says, "Sir, I need you to
blow into this breathalyzer tube."
The man says, "Sorry, officer, I can't do that.
I am an asthmatic. If I do that, I'll have a really
bad asthma attack."
"Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station
to give a blood sample."
"I can't do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do
that, I'll bleed to death."
"Well, then, we need a urine sample."
"I'm sorry, officer, I can't do that either. I am also a
diabetic. If I do that, I'll get really low blood sugar."
"All right, then I need you to come out here and walk
this white line."
"I can't do that, officer."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm drunk."
BILLIONAIRE
An eccentric billionaire wanted a mural painted on
his library wall, so he called in an artist.
Describing what he wanted, the billionaire said,
"I am a history buff, and I would like your
interpretation of the last thing that went through
Custer's mind before he died.
I am going out of town on business for a week,
and when I return I expect to see it completed."
Upon his return, the billionaire went to the library
to examine the finished work. To his surprise he found
a painting of a cow with a halo. Surrounding this
there were hundreds of Indians in various stages and
different positions of making love.
Furious he called the artist in. "What the hell is
this?" screamed the billionaire.
"Why that's exactly what you asked for, " said the
artist.
"No! I didn't ask for a mural of pornographic filth,
I asked for a mural of the interpretation of Custer's
last thoughts!"
"And there you have it," said the artist,
"I call it Holy cow look at all those f--king Indians."

THE NUN
A man was brought to Mercy Hospital and taken in for coronary
surgery. The operation went well and, as the groggy man
regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy,
who was waiting by his bed.
"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently
patting his hand. "We do need to know, however, how you intend
to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"
"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.
"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.
"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."
"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun essayed.
"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But she's a
humble spinster nun."
"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not 'spinsters.'
They are married to God."
"Wonderful," said Smith. "In that case, please send the bill
to my brother-in-law."

The passengers were leaving the plane after landing, and
one smiling, satisfied passenger paused to congratulate
the flight attendant. "Stewardess," he said happily, "I

that an airline gets to where it's going exactly when
they claim it will. I'm going to call your home office
and let them know how pleased I am." "Why, thank you, sir,

PAGER
One of my friends works in the customer service
call center of a national pager company. He deals
with the usual complaints regarding poor pager
operation, as well as the occasional crank caller
demanding to be paged less often, more often,
or by more interesting people.
The best call came from a man who repeatedly
complained that he keeps being paged by "Lucille."
He was instructed that he would have to call her
and tell her to stop paging him.
"She don't never leave no number, so I can't call
her back," he said.
After three such calls, someone thought to ask
how he knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a
number.
"She leaves her name," was the reply.
After establishing that the customer had a numeric-
only pager, the light bulb came on.
"How does she spell her name?" the service rep
asked.
"L-O-W C-E-L-L"
Another problem solved.

I hate everybody, and you're next.

I used to be schizophrenic, but we're okay now.
I'm busy. You're ugly. Have a nice day.
Warning: I have an attitude, and I know how to use it.
Remember my name -- you'll be screaming it later.
You KNOW you want me.
Don't worry. It'll only seem kinky the first time.
of course I don't look busy - I did it right the first time!
Why do people with closed minds always open their mouths?
I'm multi-talented: I can talk and piss you off at the same time.
You, me, whipped cream, handcuffs. Any questions?
Do not start with me. You will not win.
You have the right to remain silent, so please SHUT UP.
All stressed out and no one to choke.
I'm one of those bad things that happen to good people.
How can I miss you if you won't go away?
Sorry if I looked interested. I'm not.
If we are what we eat, I'm fast, cheap and easy.
Nobody knows I'm not wearing underwear.
I'm out of estrogen and I have a gun.

THE IN LAWS
The Pentagon once did a study on why so many American
Servicemen marry women in the countries where they're stationed.
Contrary to popular belief, loneliness had nothing to do with it.
Once the men rotated back to the US, all their in-laws were
thousands of miles away.
THE GAME
A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other
on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over
to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely
declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few
winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really
easy and a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a question,
and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and
visa-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to get
some sleep.
The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you
don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know
the answer, I will pay you $50!" figuring that since she
is a blonde that he will easily win the match. This catches
the blonde's attention and figuring that there will be no
end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance
from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a
word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill
and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer, "What
goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out
his laptop computer and searches all his references. He
taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the
Net and the Library of Congress.
Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends
he knows. All to no avail. After over an hour, he wakes the
blonde and hands her $50. The blonde politely takes the $50
and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde
and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer!?" Without a word, the
blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes
back to sleep.
UGLY DRESS
The bad and ugly king had a beautiful girl as a captive.
Though her beauty shone like a thousand moons the dress
she was forced to wear was very unbecoming. She waited
day and night, looking with hope out the dungeon window,
searching for the knight who would free her. However, every
knight was scared away by her dress, which, as I've said
before, was very ugly.
She was crying in hopelessness when the evil king jeered,
"See, I told you no knight would rescue a damsel in this dress!!!"

SERVICE PLEASE
At a posh Las Vegas casino, a blackjack dealer and a player
with a 13 count in his hand are arguing about whether or not
it is appropriate to tip the dealer. The player says, "When
I get bad cards, it's not the dealer's fault. Accordingly,
when I get good cards, the dealer obviously has nothing to
do with that either, so why should I tip him?"
The dealer replies, "When you eat at a restaurant do you tip
the waiter?"
"Yes," the gambler concedes.
"Well then, he serves you food; whether it's good or bad isn't
up to him. By the same token, I'm serving you cards, so you
should tip me."
"OK," says the gambler, "but the waiter gives me what I ask for.
I'll take an 8."

ROOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!.......
One night, at the lodge of a hunting club, two new members
were being introduced to other members and shown around. The
man leading them around said, "See that old man asleep in
the chair by the fireplace? He is our oldest member and can
tell you some hunting stories you'll never forget."
They awakened the old man and asked him to tell them a
hunting story.
"Well, I remember back in 1944, we went on a lion hunting
expedition in Africa. We were on foot and hunted for three
days without seeing a thing. On the fourth day, I was so
tired I had to rest my feet.
I found a fallen tree, so I laid my gun down, propped my
head on the tree, and fell asleep. I don't know how long I
was asleep when I was awakened by a noise in the bushes. I
was reaching for my gun when the biggest damn lion I ever
seen jumped out of the bushes at me like this............
ROOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!.......
I tell you, I just shit my pants."
The young men looked astonished and one of them said, "I

jumped out at me."

THE 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

began to tell their stories.
Kathy 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 pickup when we hit a
bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and
made a mess"
="And what's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
"Now, Lucy?"
"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 until they're
hatched."
"That was a fine story Lucy.
Johnny do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my Uncle
Bob. Uncle Bob was a pilot in Vietnam and his plane got hit.
He had to bail out over enemy territory and all he had was a
bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the
whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then he
landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed
seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out of
bullets, then he killed twenty more with the machete till
the blade broke and then he killed the last ten with his
bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, " What kind
of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Don't piss off Uncle Bob when he's been drinking."

THE REVEREND SMITH
Reverend Smith, a respected church leader, arrived in a large
city to deliver a series of speeches. At a banquet the first
evening, he noticed some reporters in the audience.
Because he wanted to use some of the stories he told that
night in his speeches the next day, he asked the reporters to
omit them from their articles. One article that came out the
next day, written by a cub reporter, concluded with this
line: "Reverend Smith also told a number of stories that
cannot be printed."

THE BOX
A man and a women were married for 40 years.
When they first got married the man said, 'I am putting a
box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it.'
In all their 40 years of marriage the woman never looked.
However on the afternoon of their 40th anniversary curiosity
got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside.
In the box were 3 empty beer bottles and $1874.25 in small
bills. She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now
that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as
to why.
That evening they were out for a special dinner at their
favorite restaurant. After dinner the woman could no longer
contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying: 'I am so
sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never
looked. However today the temptation was too much and I
gave in. But now I need to know why do you keep the bottles
in the box?'
The man thought for a while and said: 'I guess after all
these wonderful years you deserve to know the truth:
'Whenever I was unfaithful to you I put an empty beer
bottle in the box under the bed to remind myself not to
do it again.'
The woman was shocked, but said: 'I am very disappointed
and saddened but I guess after all those years away from
home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that
3 times is not that bad considering the years.'
They hugged and made their peace.
A little while later the woman asked the man: 'Why do you
have all that money in the box?'
To which the man answered: 'Whenever the box filled with
empties, I cashed them in.'

'What was in the envelopes?' her friends asked.
'The first envelope contained $5,000 with a note, 'Please use
this money to buy a nice casket.' So I bought a beautiful

Sidney is resting very comfortably.'
'The second envelope contained $10,000 with a note, 'Please

everyone attending.'
'And the third envelope?' asked her friends.

RELATIVELY SPEAKING
Many, many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy.
I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my
step-mother.
Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife, She's my grandma too.
If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!!

pulls out a miniature piano and puts it on the bar. The
bartender curiuosly asked,'so what is that for?' The young
man reaches into his right coat pocket and takes out a little

the piano.
The bartender is amazed. 'Where did you get that?' The young
man says matter of factly,'Well, you see, I have a genie. I
can get whatever I ask for.' Skeptical, the bartender asks
for a wish. The young man cheerfully obliges. The bartender
says the magic word and yells, 'I want 50,000 bucks!!!'

Smarter than You Think
There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the
local corner market. The owner didn't know what Johnny's problem
was, but the boys would constantly tease him.
They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load,
or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they
would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a
dime (10 cents) and John would always take the nickel -- they
said, because it was bigger.
One day after John grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him
aside and said 'Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They
think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are
you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?'
Slowly, Johny turned toward the store owner and a big grin
appeared on his face and Johnny said,
'Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I
have saved $20!'

Taking him by the arm, the teacher marched Jimmy into the hall
and said, "While you're out here, I want you to write a poem
to tell the class."
Twenty minutes later, the teacher came out to get Jimmy and
said, "Before we go back in, I want to hear your poem."
Jimmy said, "As I stood in the hall, I saw a cockroach go
up the wall. How about that!"
The teacher said, "That's fine, Jimmy, but I want you to

She took him back into the classroom and announced that
Jimmy had a poem for the class.

The agent of a beautiful actress discovered one day that the
actress had been selling her body for 100 dollars a night.
The agent, who had long lusted after her, hadn't dreamed that
she had been so easily obtainable. He approached her, told her
how much she turned him on, and how much he wanted to make it
with her.
She agreed to spend the night with him but said that he would
have to pay her the same 100 dollars that the other customers did.
He scratched his head, considered it, and then asked, "Don't I
even get my agent's 10% as a deduction?"
"No, siree," she said. "If you want it, you're going to have to
pay full price for it just like the other Johns."
The agent didn't like that at all, but he agreed.
That night, she came to his apartment after her performance at a
local nightclub. The agent did her at midnight, after turning out
all the lights.
At 1 a.m., she was awakened again. And again, she was vigorously
done. In a little while, she was awakened again, and again she was
made love to again. The actress was impressed with her lover's
vitality.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTERNET
An old, bearded shepherd, with a crooked staff, walks up to a stone
pulpit and says, "And lo it came to pass that the trader by the name of
Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And
Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed,
she had been called Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel far, from
town to town, with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving
thy tent?
"And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags
short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?" And Dot replied, "I
will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages
saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath
the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery by
Uriah's Pony Stable" (UPS).
"Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the
drums, as long as he could have his way with her. And Dot said, "There
will be a lot of banging in the land." And Abraham replied, "It is my
most fervent wish that this be so."
And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all
the goods he had, at the top price, without ever moving from his tent.
But his success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secrete
himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And
the young did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly to
camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican
Siderites, or NERDS for short.
And lo the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the
deafening sound of drums, that no one noticed that the real riches were
going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up
every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums
that would only work if you bought Brother Gates' drumsticks. And Dot
did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by
others." And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, (or as it
came to be known, "eBay,") he said, "we need a name of a service that
reflects what we are." And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner
Operators."
"Whoopee!", said Abraham. "No, YAHOO!", said Dot Com

NO TALK
A man sat at a bar, drinking slowly. On his face was the
saddest hangdog expression. The bartender asked, "What's
the matter? Are you having troubles with your wife?"
The man said, "We had a fight, and she told me that she wasn't
going to speak to me for a month."
The bartender said, "That should make you happy."
The man said, "Not if the month is up today!"
EMPLOYER
An Army private filling out a questionnaire for a correspondence
course was stymied by the question, "How long has your present
employer been in business?"
He thought for a moment, then wrote, "Since 1776."
1776
If they had computers in 1776:
Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen, the summer grows hot, and it is
essential that we complete this declaration of independence.
Mr. Franklin: Wait a minute, Thomas. I have to reboot here.
Mr. Jefferson: That's all right, Ben. We'll go on without you.
Has everyone had a chance to look at the draft I posted yesterday?
Mr. Sherman: Not yet, Thomas, I've been having Notes replication
problems.
Mr. Adams: Here, Roger, I brought a hard copy
Mr. Sherman: Thanks, Saaaaay, nice font.
Mr. Adams: Do you like it? I downloaded it off Colonies Online
just last week
Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen! There is work to be done. I fear our
document will soon leak out.
Mr. Livingston: Too late, Thomas. There's already a bootleg
circulating. I saw it posted on alt.georgeIII.sucks last night.
Mr. Adams: Ben, you might try upgrading to Windows 75.
It solved that problem for me.
Mr. Sherman: Thomas, the part here about the Acts of Pretended
Legislation; have you considered using bullets to air out the text?
Mr. Jefferson: I can fix that easily enough. Drat! I've spilled candle
wax on my keyboard again.
Mr. Adams: You know, Thomas, that wouldn't happen if you'd buy

Mr. Franklin: Hard-disk failure?!? Aw, criminy

Mr. Jefferson: Can we stick to the substance of the document, please?
Shoot. Low battery. Anyone got a spare power cable?
Mr. Sherman: What have you got, a Toshiba? No, mine isn't compatible.
Mr. Franklin: Hello, PCs Philadelphia? What does it mean when the
floppy drive buzzes? OK, I'll hold.....
Mr. Livingston: The "In Congress" part here at the top; have you

THE DUCK HUNTER
A game warden came upon a duck hunter who had bagged 3 ducks and decided
to "enforce the laws pending." He stopped the hunter, flashed his badge
and said, "Looks like you've had a pretty good day. Mind if I inspect
your kill?" The hunter shrugged and handed the ducks to the warden.
The warden took one of the ducks, inserted his finger into the duck's
rectum, pulled it out, sniffed it, and said, "This here's a Washington
State duck. Do you have a Washington State hunting license?" The hunter
pulled out his wallet and calmly showed the warden a Washington State
hunting license.
The warden took a second duck, inserted his finger in the bird's rectum,
pulled it out, sniffed it, and said, "This here's an Idaho duck. Do you
have an Idaho State hunting license?" The hunter, a bit put out, produced
an Idaho State hunting license.
The warden took a third duck, conducted the same finger test, and said,
"This here's an Oregon State duck. Do you have an Oregon State hunting
license?" Once again, only this time more aggravated, the hunter produced
the appropriate license.
The warden, a little miffed at having struck out, handed the ducks back
to the hunter and said, "You've got all of these licenses, just where
the heck are you from?"
The hunter dropped his pants, bent over, and said "You're so smart, YOU
tell ME!"
WHY SELL...
A blonde was trying to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems
selling it, because the car had almost 230,000 miles on it.
One day, she told her problem to a brunette she worked with at a salon. The
brunette told her, "There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell,
but it's not legal."
"That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I can only sell the car."
"Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns
a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will 'fix it'. Then you
shouldn't have a problem anymore trying to sell your car."
The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic. About one
month after that, the brunette asked the blonde, "Did you sell your car?"
"No," replied the blonde, "Why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!"

GETTING TO KNOW
Submitted by Lee B. - Thanks.
A man met a beautiful lady and he decided he wanted to
marry her right away.
She said, "But we don't know anything about each
other."
He said, "That's all right, we'll learn about each
other as we go along."
So she consented, and they were married.
They went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort. While
they were lying by the pool one morning, he got up off
of his towel, climbed the ten-meter board, and did a
two-and-a-half-tuck gainer, followed by three rotations
in the jackknife position. When he straightened out, he
cut the water like a knife.
After a few more demonstrations, he came back and laid
down on the towel.
She said, "That was incredible!"
He said, "I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You
see, I told you we'd learn more about each other as we
went along."
So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing
laps. After about thirty laps, she climbed back out and
laid down on her towel, hardly out of breath.
He said, "That was incredible! Were you an Olympic
endurance swimmer?"
"No," she said, "I was a hooker in Venice and I worked
both sides of the canal."

"Well, of course I threw them all in the trash".
The second nun said, "Well, I can top that. I was in the Father's room

THE PROBLEM
The problem - There's a box with a hole at each end and there's a
rabbit in the box. The rabbit sticks his head out of the hole in one
end, and a minute later he sticks it out the other end. Half a minute
later, his head appears at the opposite end, a fourth of a minute later
it appears at the end opposite to that one, an eighth of a minute
later...etc., etc. How long will it take before the rabbit sticks its
head out of both ends of the box at the same time?
In theory, two minutes.
In practice, no answer is possible unless you split hares.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Teri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their
favorite bible stories.
She was puzzled by Kyle's picture which showed four people

"The flight to Egypt," said Kyle.
"I see... And that must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus," Ms. Teri said.
"But who's the fourth person?"
"Oh, that's Pontius -- the Pilot!"
WALKING IN WATER
Jerry had heard a family rumor that his father, grandfather and
even his great-grandfather all "walked on water" on their 21st
birthday.
So, on his 21st birthday, he and his good friend Brian headed out
to the lake. "If they could do it, so can I!" Jerry told Brian.
Jerry and Brian arrived at the lake and rented a boat. They paddled
out to the middle. Jerry stepped off of the side boat . . . and
damn near drowned.
Furious, he had Brian drive him back to the Family Farm and asked
his grandmother why he hadn't been blessed with the same "gift" as
the others in the family.
Grandmother took Jerry by the hands, looked into his face, and said,
"That's because your father, grand-father, and great-grandfather
were born in January. You were born in July."

FEEDING THE FLOCK
A nervous young minister, new to the church, told the flock,
"For my text today, I will take the words, 'And they fed five
men with five thousand loaves of bread and two thousand fishes.'"
A member of the flock raised his hand and said, "That's not
much of a trick. I could do that."
The minister didn't respond. However, the next Sunday he
decided to repeat the text. This time he did it properly,
"And they fed five thousand men with five loaves of bread
and two fishes." Smiling, the minister said to the noisy man,
"Could you do that, Mr. Perkins?"
The member of the flock said, "I sure could."
"How would you do it?"
"With all the food I had left over from last Sunday!"

THE SISTER
On my way to visit a sick person in the parish, a little red car sped
around my pickup. The driver pointed to my back left wheel. Just at
that moment, I realized the tire was going flat.
I pulled into a driveway and got out of the truck to look at the
tire. All of a sudden, the red car zipped into the driveway. A young
man got out. "Sister," he said, "get back in the truck. I'll fix
the tire."
As he changed the tire, I talked with him. "You remember me," he
said. "Mike Sinn. You visited me in the hospital."
It occurred to me that this was probably the first time that Grace was
saved by Sinn.

It seems that the LAPD just got on the internet. Chosen to

After one week he had to give a presentation explaining
Usenet to all the officers.
At the presentation, one woman stated, "You seem to know

To which he replied: "Just the FAQs, Ma'am."
THE PAINTER
The homeowner was delighted with the way the painter had

movie."
Later that night, the doorbell rang and it was the painter.
Thinking the man had forgotten something he asked, "What's

"Nope." replied the painter. "I'm just here to take your missus
out to dinner and a movie like you asked."

$1000 down, and payments of $450 for 24 months, plus payments
for extras."
"My goodness!" the woman exclaimed, "sounds like leasing a

"Hmmm," the doctor murmured, "too obvious, huh?"

TOP TEN TIP TO ENTERTAINMENT
1. When one hosts a dinner party, it is essential that all
the place mats match, or, at the very least, that they all
come from the same fast-food restaurant.
2. Entertaining in your backyard? The key to a nice-looking
lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who's muscular and
shirtless.
3. My favorite party game is "Pin the Cleanup on the Guests."
4. Nothing in the world is quite so entertaining as pouring
old milk into new containers before having guests over.
5. A good host must always be a STICKLER for attractive
food presentation! I always take the foil COMPLETELY OFF
the TV dinner before serving.
6. Getting your home in tiptop shape for a party can be fun if
you think of it as kicking dust bunny tail!
7. Take short cuts! I used to offer my guests instant coffee.
They kept whining for hot water to go with it.
8. The best way to prepare a roast is to make an aluminum foil
tent over your roasting pan. Similarly, the best way to prepare
for relatives is to pitch a tent in the backyard and stay there
until they leave.
9. When decorating for a party, be creative with regular household
items. Some people might just see a moldy shower curtain with torn
eyelets. What do I see? A new tablecloth.
10. The better you cook, the more likely your guests will return.
Which is why I'm not usually too hot in the kitchen.

BUTCHER AND THE DOG
A butcher in his shop, and he's real busy, and he notices a dog in the shop.
He shoos him away. But later, he notices the dog is back again. So he goes
over to the dog, and notices he has a note in his mouth. He takes the note,
and it reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has
money in his mouth, as well." The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold,
there is a ten dollar bill there.
So he takes the money, and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it
in the dog's mouth. The butcher is well impressed, and since it's close to
closing time, he decides to shut up shop and follow the dog. So off he goes.
The dog is walking down the street, when he comes to a level crossing. The
dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then he waits
patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks
across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The
butcher is in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times, and then sits
on one of the seats provided. Along comes a bus. The dog walks around to the
front, looks at the number, and goes back to his seat. Another bus comes.
Again the dog goes and looks at the number, notices it's the right bus, and
climbs on. The butcher, by now open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus. The
bus travels through the town and out into the suburbs, the dog looking at
the scenery. Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He
stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop the bus.
Then he gets off, his groceries still in his mouth. Well, dog and butcher
are walking along the road, and then the dog turns into a house. He walks up
the path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then he walks back down the
path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He goes
back down the path, runs up to the door and -Whap!- throws himself against
it again. There's no answer at the house, so the dog goes back down the
path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the
garden.
He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times, walks
back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy
opens the door, and starts laying into the dog. Kicking him, punching him,
and swearing at him. The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What the hell
are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for Roc's sake!", to
which the guy responds "Clever, my eye. This is the second time this week
that he's forgotten his key."
JESUS TOUCHED
The bartender was washing his glasses, when an elderly
Irishman came in. With great difficulty, the Irishman hoisted
his bad leg over the barstool, pulled himself up painfully,
and asked for a sip of Irish whiskey. The Irishman looked
down the bar and said, "Is that Jesus down there?" The
bartender nodded, so the Irishman told him to give
Jesus an Irish whiskey, too.
The next patron to come in was an ailing Italian with a
hunched back, who moved very slowly. He shuffled up to the
barstool and asked for a glass of Chianti. He also looked
down the bar and asked if that was Jesus sitting at the end
of the bar. The bartender nodded, so the Italian said to give
Him a glass of Chianti, too.
The third patron to enter the bar was a redneck, who
swaggered into the bar and hollered, "Barkeeper, set me up a
cold one! Hey, is that God's Boy down there?" The barkeeper
nodded, so the redneck told him to give Jesus a cold one,
too.
As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman and
touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!"
The Irishman felt the strength come back to his leg, so he
got up and danced a jig out the door. Jesus touched the
Italian and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The
Italian felt his back straighten, so he raised his hands
above his head and did a flip out the door.
Jesus walked toward the redneck, but the redneck jumped back
and exclaimed, "Don't touch me! I'm drawin' disability!"

GAME SHOW
Submitted by GG522 of Dallas, TX
Jane was a first time contestant on the $250,000 quiz show, where you
have to answer questions to win the cash prize.
Lady luck had smiled in her favor, as Jane had a gained substantial
lead over her opponents. She even managed to win the game but,
unfortunately, time had run out before the show's host could ask her
the big question. Needless to say, Jane agreed to return the following
day.
Jane was nervous and fidgety as her husband drove them home. "I've
just gotta win tomorrow. I wish I knew what the answers are. You know
I'm not going to sleep at all tonight. I will probably look like
garbage tomorrow."
"Relax, honey" her husband, Bubba, reassured her "It will all be OK."
Ten minutes after they arrived home, Bubba grabbed the car keys and
started heading out the door. "Where are you going?" Jane asked.
"I have a little errand to run. I should be back soon." He replied.
Jane waited impatiently for Bubba's return. After an agonizing 3 hour
absence, Bubba returned, sporting a very wide and wicked grin. "Honey,
I managed to get tomorrow's question and answer!"
"What is it?" she cried excitedly. "OK. The question is What are the
three main parts of the male anatomy? And the answer is 'The head, the
heart, and the penis."
Shortly after that, the couple went to sleep with Jane, now feeling
confident and at ease, plummeting into a deep and restful slumber.
At 3:30 in the morning, however, Jane was shaken awake by Bubba, who
was asking her the quiz show question. "The head, the heart, and the
penis" Jane replied groggily before returning to sleep. And Bubba
asked her again in the morning, this time as Jane was brushing her
teeth. Once again, Jane replied correctly. So it was that Jane was
once again on the set of the quiz show. Even though she knew the
question and answer, she could feel the butterflies conquering her
stomach and nervousness running through her veins. The cameras began
running and the host, after reminding the audience of the previous
days' events, faced Jane and asked the big question.
"Jane, for $465,000, what are the main parts of the male anatomy? You
have 10 seconds."
"Hmm, uhm, the head?" she said nervously. "Very good. Six seconds."
"Eh, uh, the heart?"
"Very good! Four seconds."
"I, uhh, ooooooohh, darn! My husband drilled it into me last night and
I had it on the tip of my tongue this morning.."
"That's close enough" said the game show host "CONGRATULATIONS!!"

WAR HORSES
The US standard railroad gauge (width between the two 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 the US railroads were built by English expatriates.
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? The first long distance roads in
Europe (and England) were built by Imperial Rome for their legions. The
roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots first formed the initial
ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their
wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for (or by) Imperial Rome, they
were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. The United States standard
railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches derives from the original
specification for an Imperial Roman war chariot.
Specifications 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. Thus,
we have the answer to the original question.
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 Corp., at their factory in 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 had 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, the major 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!
REFLECTIONS:
Can you imagine what would happen if it was based on the size of the
human ass?
With our expanding asses (mine included), we'll need to keep revising
the gauges!

TIPS TO LOOK LIKE WORKING REALLY HARD
1. Never walk down the hall without a document in
your hands. People with documents in their hands
Look like hardworking employees heading for
Important meetings. People with nothing in their
hands look like they're heading for the cafeteria.
People with a newspaper in their hand look like
they're heading for the toilet. Above all, make
sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at
night, thus generating the false impression that
you work longer hours than you do.
2.Use computers to look busy. Any time you use a
computer, it looks like your working to the
casual observer. You can send and receive
personal e-mail, calculate your finances and
generally have a blast without doing anything
remotely related to work. These aren't exactly
the societal benefits that the proponents of
the computer revolution would like to talk
about but they're not bad either. When you get
caught by your boss -and you *will* get caught -
your best defense is to claim you're teaching
yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable
training dollars.
3. Messy desk. Top management can get away with a
clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like you're
not working hard enough. Build huge piles of
documents around your workspace. To the observer,
last year's work looks the same as today's work;
it's volume that counts. Pile them high and
wide. If you know somebody is coming to your
cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway
down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she
arrives.
4. Voice Mail. Never answer your phone if you have
voice mail. People don't call you just because they
want to give you something for nothing - they call
because they want YOU to do work for THEM.
That's no way to live. Screen all your calls through
voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail message
for you and it sounds like impending work, respond
during lunch hour when you know they're not there it
looks like you're hardworking and conscientious
eventhough you're being a devious weasel. If
you diligently employ the method of screening
incoming calls and then returning calls when nobody
is there, this will greatly increase the odds that the
caller will give up or look for a solution that doesn't
involve you. If your voice mailbox has a limit on
the number of messages it can hold, make sure you
reach that limit frequently. One way to do that is
to never erase any incoming messages. If that takes
too long, send yourself a few messages. Your callers
will hear a recorded message that says, "Sorry, this
mailbox is full" - a sure sign that you are a
hardworking employee in high demand.
5. Looking Impatient and Annoyed. According to
George Costanza, one should also always try to look
impatient and annoyed to give your bosses
the impression that you are always busy.
6. Appear to Work Late. Always leave the office
late, especially when the boss is still around. You
could read magazines and storybooks
that you always wanted to read but have no time
until late before leaving.Make sure you walk past
the boss' room on your way out. Send important
emails at unearthly hours (e.g. 9:35pm, 7:05am,
etc...) and during public holidays.
7. Creative Sighing for Effect. Sigh loudly when
there are many people around, giving the impression
that you are very hard pressed.
8. Stacking Strategy. It is not enough to pile lots
of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the
floor etc. You can always borrow from library. Thick
computer manuals are the best.
9. Build Vocabulary. Read up on some computer magazines
and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use it
freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember:
They don't have to understand what you say, but you
sure sound impressive.
10.* MOST IMPORTANTLY: DON'T forward this to your
boss by mistake!!!
POTENTIALLY AND REALISTICALLY
A young boy went up to his father and asked, "What is the
difference between potentially and realistically?
The father answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with
Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then go ask your sister
if she would sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars.
Come back and tell me what you have learned." So the boy went
to his mother and said, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt
for a million dollars? The mother replied, "Of course I would! I
wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that." The boy then went
to his sister and said, "Would you sleep with Tom Cruise for a million
dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh my God! I'd be nuts to pass that
up!" The boy then thought about it for two or three days and
went back to his dad. The father asked him, "Did you find out the
difference between potential and realistic?" The boy replied,
"Yes, potentially we're sitting on two million dollars, but
realistically we're living with two hoes."

THE TWO BLONDS IN NY
Two blondes are waiting on a bus stop, when a bus pulls up and
opens the door. One of the blondes leans inside and asks the driver:
"Will this bus take me to 5th Avenue?"
The bus driver shakes his head and says, "No, I'm Sorry."
At this the other blonde leans inside, smiles and twitters:
"Will it take ME?"
THE WORST
The farmer's son was returning from the market with a
crate of chickens his father had entrusted to him, when
all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens
scurried off in different directions, but the determined
boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the
wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate.
Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly
returned home, expecting the worst.
"Pa, the chickens got loose," the boy confessed sadly,
"but I managed to find all twelve of them."
"Well, you done a good job, son," the farmer beamed,
"because you only left with seven."
THE COUNTERFEITER
An incompetent counterfeiter spent all day making his funny
money. At the end of the day he realizes he spent all his
time making $15 bills.
He figures that the only way he's going to get anything from
this batch of money, is to find a place where the people
aren't too bright and change his phony money for real cash.
He travels to a small town in West Virginia and walks into a
small Mom and Pop grocery store. He goes to the old man
behind the counter and asks him, "Do you have change for a
$15 bill?"
The old man replies, "I sure do...How would you like that? An

NEW MATH?

Little Johnny was busy doing his homework. As his mother approached
she heard:
"One and one, the son-of-a-bitch is two." "Two and two, the son-of-a-
bitch is four." "Three and three... "
His mother interrupted, asking where he had learned this way of doing
math. Little Johnny remarked that his teacher Ms. Margo taught him.
His mother was rather upset and told him to stop the homework. The
next day she stormed into Little Johnnys classroom and confronted Ms.
Margo. Little Johnnys mother told Ms. Margo about Little Johnnys
different way of doing math and his claim that Ms. Margo taught it
that way to the class.
The teacher was flabbergasted. She said that she couldn't understand
why Little Johnny had said what he did. Then suddenly, Ms Margo
exclaimed, "Oh, I know... here in school we say, one and one, the sum-

STOW AWAY
Submitted by Lee B.
A young woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by
throwing herself into the ocean. She went down to the docks and was about
to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her
tottering on the edge of the pier crying. He took pity on her and said,
"Look, you've got a lot to live for. I'm off to Europe in the morning,
and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take good care of
you and bring you food every day." Moving closer he slipped his arm
round her shoulder and added,"I'll keep you happy, and you'll keep me
happy." The girl nodded yes. After all, what did she have to lose?
That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat.
From then on every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece
of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn.
Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by
the captain.
"What are you doing here?" the Captain asked.
"I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained. "I get
food and trip to Europe, and he's screwing me."
"He sure is, lady," the Captain said. "This is the Staten Island Ferry."

TUCKED IN
A man goes to visit his 85-year-old grandfather in
the hospital. "How are you grandpa?" he asks.
"Feeling fine," says the old man.
"What's the food like?"
"Terrific, wonderful menus."
"And the nursing?"
"Just couldn't be better. These young nurses really take
care of you."
"What about sleeping? Do you sleep OK?"
"No problem at all --- nine hours solid every night. At 10
o'clock they bring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra
tablet ... and that's it. I go out like a light."
The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so rushes
off to question the Sister in charge. "What are you people
doing," he says, "I'm told you're giving an 85-year-old Viagra
on a daily basis. Surely that can't be true?"
"Oh, yes," replies the Sister. "Every night at 10 o'clock we
give him a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works
wonderfully well. The hot chocolate makes him sleep, and the
Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed."

because he swore a lot in last years classroom.
The teacher chose Fred to tell a story.
"My Dad and I went on a fishing trip way out in the
country. We stopped at a small pond, I cast my lure
into the pond and caught the biggest trout We'd ever
seen! We started a campfire and cooked the trout, it
was great!" Fred reported.
"That nice Fred, now how about another volunteer".
Several students were waving their hands. The teacher
felt sorry for Little Johnny and wanted to give him
another chance.
"My Dad and I went on a deer hunting trip. We saw a

said.

DONKEY
There was an old man, a boy, and a donkey. They were going to town and
it was decided that the boy should ride.
As they went along they passed some people who thought that it was a
shame for the boy to ride and the old man to walk. The old man and boy
decided that maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later, they passed some more people who thought that it was a real
shame for that man to make such a small boy walk. The two decided that maybe
they both should walk.
Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to
walk when they had a donkey to ride. The man and the boy decided maybe the
critics were right so, they decided that they both should ride.
They soon passed other people who thought that it was a shame to put
such a load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided that
maybe the critics were right, so they decided to carry the donkey.
As they crossed a bridge they lost their grip on the animal and he
fell into the river and drowned.

Demon: Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps, Blackjack,
roulette, Poker, slots, whatever, if you go bankrupt, well, you're
dead anyhow.
Demon: Do you do drugs?
Guy: Are you kidding? I love drugs! You don't mean?
Demon: That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great
big bowl of crack, or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine.
You can do all the drugs you want - you're dead, who cares if you OD!
Guy: Wow! I never realized Hell was such a cool place!
Demon: You gay?
Guy: No!
Demon: "Ooooh," (grimaces) "You're gonna hate Fridays"
WEDDING
Submitted by gg522 of Dallas, TX
Max fell in love with Maureen, but the pretty Irish lass
wouldn't marry him unless he converted from Judaism to
Catholicism.
Love being stronger than any other emotion, Max undertook
the studies that would make him a good Catholic.
Some months later, Maureen ran into her friend Paula, who
asked, "When's your wedding?"
Maureen answered, "There'll be no wedding."
"Why not?"
"Max studied so hard he now wants to be a priest!"

GOOD FRIDAY
Here's a true story that happened to a friend's father:
He was standing in line at the bank when there was a
commotion at the counter. A woman was distressed,
exclaiming, "Where will I put my money?!
I have all my money and my mortgage here!! What will
happen to my mortgage?!"
It turned out that she had misunderstood a small sign
on the counter. The sign read, WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR
GOOD FRIDAY. I guess Easter was not uppermost in her
thoughts, because she thought that the bank was going
to close "for good" that coming Friday.
EQUESTRIAN
At the Olympics in Barcelona, some of the locals were
entered in equestrian events. Other contestants were
surprised to note that the Spanish riders guided their
horses with so much slack in the reins that they
actually hung down across the horses' necks.
When asked why they preferred such a relaxed stance, the
locals proudly announced.......
"The reins in Spain fall plainly on the mane."
HOW LUCKY
Browsing in a nursery, I overheard a young couple contemplating
the purchase of a blooming plant. The wife obviously wanted the
plant, and pleaded for her husband's approval. But he was quick
to cite the recent demise of a similar flower she had owned.
Nodding her head in agreement, she continued down the aisle.
When she was a safe distance away from him, I saw the young man
lean over the flowerpot and whisper,
"You don't know how lucky you are.

CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WOMEN
Joe had asked Bob to help him out with the deck after work,
so Bob just went straight over to Joe's place. When they got
to the door, Joe went straight to his wife, gave her a hug
and told her how beautiful she was and how much he had missed
her at work. When it was time for supper, he complimented his
wife on her cooking, kissed her and told her how much he
loved her.
Once they were working on the deck, Bob told Joe that he was
surprised that he fussed so much over his wife. Joe said that
he'd started this about 6 months ago, it had revived their
marriage, and things couldn't be better.
Bob thought he'd give it a go. When he got home, he gave his
wife a massive hug, kissed her and told her that he loved her.
His wife burst into tears.
Bob was confused and asked why she was crying. She said, "This
is the worst day of my life. First, little Billy fell off his
bike and twisted his ankle. Then, the washing machine broke and
flooded the basement. And now, you come home drunk!"
LOST MY WIFE
The man approached the very beautiful woman in the large supermarket
and asked, "You know, I've lost my wife here in the supermarket. Can
you talk to me for a couple of minutes?"
"Why?" she asks.
"Because every time I talk to a beautiful woman my wife appears
out of nowhere."

ATHEIST
A young lady came home and told her Mother that her
boyfriend had proposed but she had turned him down
because she found out he was an atheist, and didn't
believe in Heaven or Hell.
"Marry him anyway dear." the Mother said.
"Between the two of us, we'll show him just how wrong he is."
THE COW FROM MINSK
The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk.
The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow
from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 1,000 rubles.
Being frugal, they bought the cow from Minsk.
The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time,
and the people were amazed and very happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and
produce more cows like it. Then they would never have to
worry about the milk supply again.
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their
beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the
cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the
bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he
could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the rabbi, who
was very wise, what to do. They told the rabbi what was happening;
"Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he
approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches
her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and
she just walks away to the other side.
The rabbi thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you
buy this cow from Minsk?"
The people were dumbfounded. They had never mentioned where
they had gotten the cow.
"You are truly a wise rabbi. How did you know we got the cow
from Minsk?"
The rabbi answered sadly, "My wife is from Minsk."
BRAIN
A man was waiting in the doctor's office. The doctor
came in and said, "Well, I've got some good news and
some bad news." The bad news is that you have an
inoperable brain tumor.
The good news is our hospital has just been certified
to do brain transplants and there has been an accident
right out front and a young couple was killed and you
can have which ever brain you like.
The man's brain is $100,000.00 and the woman's brain is
$30,000.00.
The patient could not help but ask?; "Why such a large
