History Lesson:  Lincoln & Kennedy

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading

An interesting story about the value of a second opinion: 

 The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches.  The bad news is that it will require castration.  You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache.  The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Joe was shocked and depressed.  He wondered if he had anything to live for, but he had no choice but to go under the knife.  When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.

As he walked down the street, he realized that, without his headaches, he felt like a different person.  He could make a new beginning and live a new life.  He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need... a new suit."  He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see.... size 44 long."

Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" the salesman said.  Joe tried on the suit.  It fit perfectly.

As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck."

Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years."

Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly.

Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"

Joe thought for a moment and said, "Sure."

The salesman said, "Let's see... size 36."

Joe laughed, "Ah ha!  I got you, I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34.  A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      .......New suit - $400
      .......New shirt - $36
      .......New underwear - $6
      .......Second Opinion – PRICELESS

 Have a Great Day,

 

 


From Samia C:

One day, Thibodeaux was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Boudreaux driving a brand new Chevy Z71 Pickup. Boudreaux pulled up to him with a big wide grin.
 
 "Boudreaux, where'd you get that pretty Chevy Z71 pickup?!!!?"
 
 "Alice gave it to me" Boudreaux replied.
 
 "She gave it to you? I knew she was kinda sweet on you, but a new Chevy Z71?"
 
 "Well, Thibodeaux, I'm gonna tell you what happened. I was riding with Alice. and we was driving out on Hwy 308 in the middle of nowhere. Alice pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the
 truck, got out, threw off all her clothes, lay back on the grass and said, 'Boudreaux, take whatever you want.'
 
 So! me, I took the truck!!!"
 
 "Boudreaux, you a very smart man!. Them clothes woulda neva fit you anyhow!"

 


Caution, this is not for the fainthearted.

Subject: COLOR BLIND

 
A neuro-opthamologist sent me to this web site to do a periodic colorblind test. He said that men are more often colorblind than are women. This is a quick check that you can try every once in a while.
Here's hoping that you check out OK..

INTERNATIONAL THINKING AT ITS BEST!

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gates' technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....

That, my friends, is Globalization

Driver's License Privacy?

 This works...I just tried mine. Scary  OK, this is just too much! Can  you say "privacy?" As in, "where is our right to  it???" I definitely  removed mine. I suggest you all do the same.... 

 Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including   your own! It asks for U.S. info but it works for Canada, too. I just   searched for mine and there it was ... picture and all! 

 Go to the website and check it out. Just enter your name, City and   province to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the  screen,  click the box marked "Please Remove". 

 This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law  enforcement.  http://www.license.shorturl.com

AN  ALTERNATIVE  RETIREMENT  HOME 

There will be no nursing home in my future.........

When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Princess Cruise Ship.  The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day.  I have checked on reservations at Princess and I can get a long term discount and senior discount price of $135 per day.  That leaves $65 a day for:

1.  Gratuities which will only be $10 per day.
2.  I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restaurant, or I can have room service ( which means I can have breakfast in bed every day of the week).
3.  Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night.
4.  They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.
5.  They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient.  An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.
6.  I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.
7.  T.V. broken?  Light bulb need changing?  Need to have the mattress replaced?  No Problem!  They will fix everything and apologize for your inconvenience.
8.  Clean sheets and towels every day, and you don't even have to ask for them.
9.  If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip you are on Medicare.  If you fall and break a hip on the Princess ship they will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life. 

Now hold on for the best!  Do you want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, or name where you want to go?
Princess will have a ship ready to go.  So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship.
P.S.  And don't forget, when you die, they just dump you over the side at no charge.

Subject: Advantage for Being An Arab

 
An old Arab lived close to New York City for more than 40 years. One day he decided that he would love to plant potatoes and herbs in his garden, but he knew he was alone and too old and weak. His son was in college in Paris, so the old man sent him an e-mail explaining the problem:

"Beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden. I am sure, if only you were here, that you would help me and dig up the garden for me. I love you, your father."

The following day, the old man received a response e-mail from his son:

"Beloved father, please don't touch the garden. That is where I have hidden 'the THING.'
I love you, too, Ahmed."

At 4pm the FBI and the Rangers visited the house of the old man and took the whole garden apart, searching every inch. But they couldn't find anything.

Disappointed, they left the house.  The next day, the old man received another e-mail from his son:

"Beloved father, I hope the garden is dug up by now and you can plant your potatoes. That is all I could do for you from here. Your loving son, Ahmed."

 

 

 In a small Central American country

Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and George W. Bush were set to face a firing Squad in a small Central American country.

Bill Clinton was the first one placed against the wall and just before the order to shoot him was given, he yelled out, "Earthquake!" The firing squad fell into a panic and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion.

Al Gore was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was reassembled and Al pondered what his old boss had done. Before the order to shoot was given, Al yelled out, "Tornado!" Again the squad fell apart and Al slipped over the wall.

The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was thinking "I see the pattern here, just scream out a disaster and hop over the wall." As the firing squad was reassembled and the rifles raised in his direction, he grinned and yelled, "Fire!"

When you have a choice

A minister was seated next to a cowboy on a flight to Texas.

After the plane took off, the cowboy asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink.

Appalled, the minister replied, "I'd rather be tied up and taken advantage of by women of ill-repute, than let liquor touch my lips."

The cowboy then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me too, I didn't know we had a choice."

This one shows the infinite possibilities for creative income appreciation in the legal system and the dangers thereto.

THIS IS THE BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR, DECADE AND PROBABLY THE CENTURY.

A Charlotte, NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars then insured them against fire, among other things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer 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 lawyer sued ... and WON! ...  STAY WITH ME.

In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed never the less, that the lawyer "held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be an 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 $15,000 to the lawyer for the rare cigars lost in the "fires".

NOW FOR THE BEST PART. After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance 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 lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine. This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

IRAQ - VERY INTERESTING - DID YOU KNOW?

1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq.
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
10. Amos cried out in Iraq!
11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!)
14. Belsh! azzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
17. The wise men were from Iraq.
18. Peter preached in Iraq.
19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq!

However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq! .

And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran (9:11)
- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all. Amen!

This is a ribbon for soldiers, American, Iraqis and U.N. fighting in Iraq. Pass it on to everyone and pray.

What religion is your bra?

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."

What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable.

"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from."

Relieved, the man asked about the types.

The saleslady replied "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?

Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.

The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...the Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts the fallen, the Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright, And the Baptist makes mountains out of mole hills."

Bra Sizes: Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for, it is about time you became informed!

{A} Almost Boobs...
{B} Barely there.
{C} Can't Complain!
{D} Dang!
{DD} Double Dang!
{E} Enormous!
{F} Fake.
{G} Get a Reduction.
{H} Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Natural Born Salesman

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas."

Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.

"How many sales did you make today?"   The kid says, "One."

The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"

The kid says, "$101,237.64."   The boss says, "$101,237.64?! What the hell did you sell?!"

Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4X4 Blazer."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?"

Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'"

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay.

When she ! had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells, dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning and mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere.

Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.

Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused to work in the house...The maid ! quit... Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back...

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth...But only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later, the man and his new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home...

....including the curtain rods.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU????

Do Housewives have it Easy?

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: "Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.  He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed
their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.  He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back." The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.  You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."

Hazards or opportunities of playing Golf

A husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.
The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us." So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, "Come on in."

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the broken window. A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?"

"Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied.

"Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself."

"Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life."

"No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!" "And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genie asked.

"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country in the world," she said.

"Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!" "And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's your wish, genie?"

" Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to sleep with your wife." The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?"

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?"

"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband. "I'd do the same for you!"

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop fun, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, "How old are you and your husband?"

"Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly.

"Really? Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?"

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

 
(Hardly seems worth it.)


 
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it!)



 
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.


(O.M.G.!)



A A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.


("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")




The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

 

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)



Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know.)


The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

(Hmmmmmm......)


Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)



Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

(okay, so that would be a good thing)



A cat's urine glows under a black light.

(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)



An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

Riding a "Dead Horse"

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
 
However, in government, education, and in corporate America, more advanced liberal strategies are often employed, such as:
 
1. Buying a stronger whip.
 
2. Changing riders.  
 
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
 
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride horses.
 
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
 
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.  

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do other horses.  

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

And of course,  

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

HEAVEN AND HELL

While walking down the street one day, a senator is tragically hit by a truck and killed.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the senator.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"There's no need! I want to be in Heaven," says the senator.

"I'm sorry but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator, and he goes down, down, down into Hell.

The doors open, and he finds himself in the middle of a beautiful Green golf course. In the distance is a club and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in formal dress. They run to greet him, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.  They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar.

Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that, before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, and the door reopens on Heaven where St. Peter waiting for him ..

"Now it's time to visit Heaven."  So 24 hours pass with the head of state joining a group of contented Souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by, and St. Peter returns.

"Well, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now, you must choose where you want to spend eternity."

He reflects for a minute and then answers: "Well, I would never have thought it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better satisfied in Hell."

So Saint Peter escorts him to the elevator, and down, down, down he goes into Hell.  Now, the doors of the elevator open, and he is in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. And it's hot, hot, and the odor is just horrible. Sweltering hot… hot and miserable.

The Devil comes over to him and smoothly lays his arm around his shoulder.  "I don't understand," stammers the senator. "The day before yesterday I was here, and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar and danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland full of garbage, and my friends look miserable."

 The Devil looks at the senator, smiles and says, "Day before yesterday we were campaigning .......... today you voted for us."

Men’s Rules

Finally, the guys' side of the story.

We always hear "the rules" from the female side.  Now here are the rules from the male side.  These are Men's rules! Please note, these are all Numbered "1".

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up put it down. 
We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! *Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.  That's what we do.   Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said could be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it
done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.  Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such*topics as sports, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.  Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.


Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them an education!!
Peace on Earth, MAYBE

The Secret to a better Sermon

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.


The monsignor replied, " When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass.  If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."


 So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. 

At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.  He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:


1)
   Sip the vodka, don't gulp.

2)
There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3)
There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4)
Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5)
Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6)
We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7)
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.

8)
David slew Goliath, he did not kick the be-jesus out of him.

9)
When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.

10) We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."


11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say " Eat me" .


12) The Virgin Mary is not called " Mary with the Cherry,.


13) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.


14) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared. When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes. I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line." President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex." Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is certain of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."

The Reporter and the Farmer

The Lady: "Good evening, sir. I am here to collect information on the possible source of Mad Cow Disease. Can you offer any reason for this >disease?"

The Farmer stared at the reporter and said: "Do you know that a bull mounts a cow only once a year?"

The lady reporter (obviously embarrassed): "Well, sir, that's a new piece of information, but what's the relation between this phenomenon and Mad Cow disease?"

The Farmer: "And, madam, do you know that we milk a cow twice a day?"

The reporter: "Sir, this is really valuable information, but what about >getting to the point?"

The Farmer: "I am getting to the point, madam. Just imagine, if I was playing with your tits twice a day and only screwing you once a year, wouldn't you get mad?"

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates

"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. It represents a candle, he said.
You may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells" . 
 Saint Peter said you may pass through the pearly gates.

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"

The man replied, "They're Carols".

The Parrot

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet.

Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable  behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Lessons in Logic

If your father is a poor man, it is your fate but, if your father-in-law is a poor man, it's your stupidity.

I was born intelligent - education ruined me.

Practice makes perfect..... But nobody's perfect...... so why practice?

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

Since light travels faster than sound, people appear bright until you hear them speak.

How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?

Money is not everything. There's Mastercard & Visa.

One should love animals. They are so tasty.

Behind every successful man, there is a woman  -  - 
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.

Every man should marry. After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.

The wise never marry. and when they marry they become otherwise.

Success is a relative term. It brings so many relatives.

Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.

"Your future depends on your dreams" ... So go to sleep

There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning

"Hard work never killed anybody" But why take the risk


"Work fascinates me" I can look at it for hours

God made relatives; Thank God we can choose our friends.

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn.

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station....
what more can I say........

What a man is waiting for:!

 

 

A woman who is a perfect "10"

 

A woman who can cook like his mother.

 

A woman who keeps a clean house.

Time Up!

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.   While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God, she asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."

 Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.

 After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.  While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

 Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of the ambulance?"

 God replied, "I didn't recognize you."

CHILI JUDGE

Notes from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:

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.  I was assured by the other two judges, who were native Texans, that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, 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 the tomato.  Amusing kick.

JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor.  Very mild.

FRANK: Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff?  You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it.  It took me two beers to put the flames out.  Hope that's the worst one.  These Texans are crazy.

Chili  #2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili

JUDGE ONE: Smoky, 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 had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver.  They had to walkie-talkie in 3 extra beers when they saw the look on my face.

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: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill.  My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano.  Everyone knows the routine by now.  Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced.

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 barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating.

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 offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage.  Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher.  It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming.  Fuck those rednecks!

 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. Superb.

FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames.  No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.

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 literally threw in a can of 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 as he is cursing uncontrollably.

FRANK: You could put a freeking grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing.  I've lost the sight in one eye and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water.  My shirt is covered with chili that slid unnoticed out of my mouth.  My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my damn shirt.  At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me.  I've decided to stop breathing, it is just too painful.  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 passed out, fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself.  Not sure if he's going to make it.  Poor Yank.

FRANK: (editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report.)

"Discount"

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.  Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces.  "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.

It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope.  Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."

The moment turned awkward.  Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, some actually smirked.

A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group,"It's just standard pricing procedure.  We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."

 

****************************

This is cute. Can vouch from experience.

An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. St. Peter checks his

dossier and says: "Ah, you're an engineer, but you worked for a high-tech

startup company and got rich. You've had too good of a life, so now you

can't come in here."

So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the

engineer is dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts

signing and building improvements.

After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and

escalators. The computers are all upgraded and there are speaker wires

running to every room. Even the clocks on the VCRs are set. The engineer

becomes a pretty popular guy.

One day God calls up Satan on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So,

how's it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going

great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators.

The computers are faster than ever and we've got music in every room.

There's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

God replies, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake, he should

never have gotten down there! Send him back up here, now." Satan shouts

back, "No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."

Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right... and just where are

YOU going to find a lawyer?"

 

 

#1 Rule(s)

This is funny - true for the most part but still funny...  We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.  Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done.  Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...  Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.

 


 

Waiting

Two old women (much, much older than we are), were sitting on a bench waiting for their bus. The buses were running late, and a lot of time passed.  Finally, one woman turned to the other and said, "You know, I've been sitting here so long, my butt fell asleep!  "The other woman turned to her and said, "I know! I heard it snoring!"

Grandpa & Grandma

Grandpa and Grandma were visiting the kids overnight, when Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet.  He asked the son about using one of the pills, and the son said "I don't think you should take one; they're very strong and very expensive." "How much?" asked Grandpa."$10.00 a pill," answered the son.  "I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd like to try one, and I'll leave the money under your pillow as soon as I break this $50.00 bill."

The next morning the son found $110.00 under his pillow. He said to Grandpa, "I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00.""I know," said Grandpa. "The hundred is from Grandma."

 WHY WE LOVE KIDS

NUDITY:  I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!"

HONESTY:  My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.

OPINIONS:  On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents."

KETCHUP:  A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone.  "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother.  Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now.  She's hitting the bottle."

MORE NUDITY:  A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"

POLICE # 1:  While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a policeman?" "Yes," I answered and continued writing the report.  "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right," I told her.  "Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you please tie my shoe?"

POLICE # 2:  It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"

ELDERLY:  While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.  She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

DRESS-UP:  A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit."  "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning."

DEATH:  While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto the Sonnn and into the hole he gooooes."

SCHOOL:  A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"

BIBLE:  A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.  He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found", the boy called out." What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!" >>

I think you are going to like this policy

Updated Employee Handbook-Effective Immediately

DRESS CODE:

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.

If we see you wearing $350 Prada sneakers & carrying a $600 Gucci bag We assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise.

If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

SICK DAYS:  We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If You are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

SURGERY: Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything.  We hired you intact.  To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.

PERSONAL DAYS:  Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

VACATION DAYS:  All employees will take their vacation at the same time every year.   The vacation days are as follows: Jan. 1, July 4 & Dec. 25

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:  This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or coworkers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work is done enough.

ABSENCE DUE TO YOUR OWN DEATH:  This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two Weeks notice as it is your duty to train your own replacement.

RESTROOM USE:  Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, We will follow the practice of going in alphabetical Order. For instance, all employees whose names begin with 'A' will go From 8:00 to 8:20, employees whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8:20to 8:40 and so on. If you're unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may swap their time with a coworker. Both employees' supervisors must approve this exchange in writing. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls.  At the end of Three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders" category.

LUNCH BREAK:  Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast and take a diet pill.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Have a nice week.

Three wishes

Women are clever creatures. Don't mess with them

A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods she went onto the woods 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.  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 will be ok."

For her first wish she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.  The frog warned her, "You realise that this will make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis that women will flock to."  The woman replied, "That will be ok because I will be the most beautiful woman in the world and he will only have eyes for me."  So KAZAM - she's the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish she wanted to be the richest woman in the world and 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 replied, "That will be ok because what's mine is his and what's his is mine." So KAZAM - she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then enquired about her third wish and she answered:  "I'd like a mild heart attack."

Moral of the story: Women are clever creatures. Don't mess with them.

One wish

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden,  he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish." The sky clouded above his head  and in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be  faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."

 The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the  bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish  that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly happy."

 The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"

Playing Hooky

A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all work at the same office for a female boss who always goes home early. "Hey, girls," says the brunette, "let's go home early tomorrow. She'll never know."

So the next day, they all leave right after the boss does. The brunette gets some extra gardening done, the redhead goes to a bar, and the blonde goes home to find her husband in bed with the female boss!
She quietly sneaks out of the house and returns at her normal evening time.

"That was fun," says the brunette. "We should do it again sometime."

"No way," says the blonde. "I almost got caught!!!!!."

Communication Gap?

A lady found out her dog could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian.  He found the problem was hair in its ears and cleaned both ears and the dog could hear fine. The vet told the lady if she wanted to keep this from re-occurring, she should go to the store and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub in its ears once a month.

The lady goes to the drug store and gets some "Nair" hair remover. At the register, the druggist tells her "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days."  The lady says "I'm not using it under my arms."

The druggist says "If you're using it on your legs, don't shave for a couple of days."  The lady says "I'm not using it on my legs either and if you must know, I'm using it on my schnauzer."  The druggist says, "Stay off your bicycle for a week."

 See what happens!

A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a dirty, shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. 
The man took out his wallet, extracted a $5 bill and asked,

"If I gave you this money, would you take it and buy whiskey?" "No, I stopped drinking years ago," the bum said.

"Would you use it to gamble?" "I don't gamble. I need anything I can get just to stay alive."

"Would you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?" "Are you NUTS!!?? I haven't played golf for 20 years!"

The man said, "I'm not going to give you $5. I'm going to bring you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."

The bum was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."

The man replied, "I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and playing golf".

The Pope had just finished a tour of the Florida East Coast and was taking a limousine to the airport.  Having never driven a limo, he asked the chauffeur if he could drive for a while.  Well, the chauffeur didn't have much of a choice, so he got in the back of the limo and the Pope took the wheel. He turned onto I-95 and accelerated to about 90 MPH.  WHAM!
The blue lights of the State Highway Patrol flashed in his rear view mirror.
He pulled over and a trooper came to his window.
When the trooper saw who it was, he said, "Just a moment, please, I need to call in.  The trooper radioed in and asked for the chief. He said, "I have a REALLY important person pulled over and I need to know what to do. "
The chief replied, "Who is it, not Ted Kennedy again? "
The trooper said, "No, even more important. :
" It isn't Governor Jeb Bush is it? " asked the chief.
"No, even more important, " replied the trooper.  "
It isn't President George Bush, is it? "
"No, " replied the trooper, "even more important. "
"Well, WHO the HECK is it? " screamed the chief.
The trooper responded, "I don't know for sure, but I think it might be Jesus, because his chauffeur is the Pope! "

Hey guys, This is for all the sexism in the world - it's pretty funny as well so ENJOY!     Angie A.

Eve calls out to God...
"Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a man Lord?"
"A flawed creature with many bad traits, he'll lie, cheat, and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger and faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He'll be witless and revel in childish things, like fighting and kicking a ball about. He looks silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He won't be too smart, so he'll need your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great" says Eve, with a raised eyebrow. "So, what's the catch?"
"Well,.....you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring...So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. Just remember, it's our little secret..." "You know, woman to woman."

Wrong email address

An Illinois lady left the snow-filled streets of Chicago  for a vacation in Florida. Her husband was on a business  trip and was planning to meet her there the next day.

When she reached her hotel, she decided to send her husband  a quick email. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which  she had written his email address, she did her best to type  it in from memory.

Unfortunately, she missed one letter and her note was  directed instead to an elderly widow, whose husband had  passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow  checked her email, 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 HONEY: JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR  YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW. 

P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE.

 Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1970:
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What
is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?

Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment:  Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math in 1990:

A Smart Blonde
Courtesy of Victoria...

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.  She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce.  The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the
title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.  The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" 

The blond replies...." Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Finally, a smart blonde joke


Hillary Clinton goes to her doctor for a physical, only to find out that she's pregnant. She is furious. Here she's in the middle of her first term as Senator of New York and this has happened to her. She calls home, gets Bill on the phone and immediately starts screaming; "How could you have let this happen?

With all that's going on right now, you go and get me pregnant! How could you? I can't believe this! I just found out I am five weeks pregnant and it is all your fault! Your fault! Well, what have you got to say?"

There is nothing but dead silence on the phone.

She screams again, "Did you hear me?"

Finally she hears Bill's very, very quiet voice.  In a barely audible whisper, he says,

"Who is this?"

Blonde Joke
A blonde was driving home after a Redskins game (Notice this Barney), and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop. The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out. So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her car’s tailpipe.  Nothing happened. She blew a little harder and still nothing happened. Her
roommate, another blonde, came home and said, “What are you doing?” The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tailpipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. Her roommate rolled her eyes and said, “HELLLLO”... “You need to roll up the windows”

Subject: Things women need to know!

 TO WOMEN EVERYWHERE FROM A MAN WHO'S HAD ENOUGH:

  1) Learn to work the toilet seat. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us whining about you leaving it down.  
2) ALL men see in only 16 colors. Peach is a fruit, not a color.
3) If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
 
4) If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We refuse to answer.
5) Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. 
6) One of the big reason guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.  
 
7) Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!
  8) If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you  don't want to hear.  
 
9) Sometimes, we're not thinking about you. Live with it.  
10) Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
11) Sunday = Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.  Let it be.
1
2) Shopping is not a sport, and no, we're never going to think of it that way.
13) When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
14) You have enough clothes.
15) You have too many shoes.
16) Crying is blackmail.
17) Ask for what you want. Let's be clear on this one: Subtle hints don't work.
18) Strong hints don't work. Really obvious hints don't work. Just say it!
19) No, we don't know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on the calendar.
20) Peeing standing up is more difficult. We're bound to miss sometimes.
21) Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we'd be good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
22) Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
23) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what  we do.
24) Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
25) A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
26) Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or a  war flick where it doesn't matter what the #@&amp;!* they're saying anyway.
27) Check your oil.
28) It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take the quiz together.
29) No, it doesn't matter which quiz.
30) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All  comments become null and void after 7 days.
31) If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways  makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
32) Let us ogle. We're going to look anyway; it's genetic.
33) You can either tell us to do something OR tell us how to do something, but not both.
3
4) Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
35) If it itches, it will be scratched.
36) BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
37) If we ask what's wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.
38) We know you're lying, but it's just not worth the hassle.

Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch  tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that, it's like camping!

I really loved this one...those of u who have ever been to lebanon,or who live in lebanon, will agree with this one. 

A man decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. For his first chapter he decided to write about famous American cathedrals. So he bought a plane ticket and went to New Orleans. He was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone hanging on the wall with a sign $10,000 per call.
The man, intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The man thanked the priest and went along his way. 

Next stop was in Italy. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in the USA and he asked a nearby nun what it's purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God. "O.K., thank you", said the man. He then traveled to France, Sweden, Germany, Syria, Israel... and in every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it. 

Finally, the American arrived to Lebanon, and again, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "10 cents per call." The man was surprised, so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've traveled all over the world and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but everywhere else the price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"
Abouna Tanios smiled and answered, "You're in Lebanon now, son. It's a local call".

Making your wish come true...


Two men are driving through Houston, Texas when they get pulled over by a Houston Police Officer.  The cop walks up and taps on the
window
with his nightstick.  The driver rolls down the window and WHACK, the cop smacks him in the head with the stick.
   The driver asks, "What the hell was that for?"
    The cop answers, "You're in Houston, Texas boy. When we pull you over, you better have your license ready when we get to your car."       The driver says, "I'm sorry, Officer, I'm not from around here."
    The cop runs a check on the guy's license, and he's clean.

He gives the guy his license back, walks around to the passenger side, and taps on the window. The passenger rolls down the window and WHACK, the cop  smacks him on the head with the nightstick.

The passenger asks, "What'd you do that for?"
 The cop says, "Just making your wish come true."  The passenger asks, "Making what wish come true?"  The cop says, "I know that two miles down the road you're gonna say to  your buddy, "I wish that asshole would've tried that stunt with me!"

"Spaghetti"

An attorney was having an affair with his secretary.  
Shortly after wards, she told him she was pregnant. 
Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the secretary a sum of 
money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there.

"But how will I let you know the baby is born?" she  
asked.  He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 
"spaghetti" on the  back.  I'll take care of the 
child's expenses."  Not knowing what else to do, 
the secretary took the money and flew to Italy.

Six months went by and then one day the attorney's 
life called him at the office and explained, 
"Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the 
mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what 
it means."  The attorney said, "Just wait until I 
get home, and I will explain it to you."

Later that evening the attorney came home, read the 
postcard, and fell to the floor with a heart attack.  
Paramedics rushed him to the ER.  The lead medic 
stayed back to comfort the wife.  He asked what 
trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest.  

So the wife picked up the card and read:
"Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - 

two with sausage and meatballs, two without."

I have a little time on my hand so here's a joke that I like.

In one of those little towns, the Usher of the movie theatre, let us say Cinema Roxy, walks to the middle of the theatre checking the audience. To his surprise he sees a man spread over three seats:
“Hey Mr… Could you just sit on one seat? You paid for one seat only”
The man looks at the usher with the edge of his eye without moving his head.
“Hey Mr. I am talking to you, you are allowed one seat only!!!”
Same results..
“Look Buddy, if you don’t straighten up and sit on one seat I’ll have to ask you to leave”
The Man moves his eyeballs and mumbles.
“That’s it!! Out of the theatre”
Same eyes movement.
Feeling he’s losing his patience, the usher goes out and brings back the police.
“Okay Buddy what’s your name” Said the Sheriff.
“E E E E Ed” the man whispered
“Hmmm Ed! So where did you come from Ed?” asked the sheriff.
“the bal bal balco the balcony”.

The Only Logical thing to do... 

Two nuns went out to sell cookies.
They were known as Sister Mathematical (SM) and Sister Logical(SL). It was getting dark, though, and they were still far away from their convent.
SL: "Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past half-hour?"
SM: "Yes, I wonder what he wants."
SL: "It's logical. He wants to rape us."
SM: "Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most.  What can we do?"
SL: "The only logical thing to do, of course, is to walk faster." 
SM: "It's not working."
SL: "Of course it's not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster too."
SM: "So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute."
SL: "The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both."  So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.
Sister Mathematical arrived at the convent and was worried about what had happened to Sister Logical. Just then Sister Logical arrived.
SM: "Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened!"
SL: "The only logical thing happened. The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me."
SM: "Yes, yes! But what happened then?"
SL: "The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could."
SM: "And?"
SL: "The only logical thing happened. He caught up to me."
SM: "Oh, dear! What did you do?"
SL: "The only logical thing I could do. I lifted my dress up."
SM: "Oh, Sister! What did the man do?"
SL: "The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants."
SM: "Oh, no! What happened then?"
SL: "Isn't it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his pants down........" 

(And you thought it would be dirty! Say two "Hail Mary's" for impure thoughts.)

Another Duck story... the first between an Irishman and an Englishman... this one with a Texas Twist...

A big-city, California lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas. He
shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer’s field on the other side of
a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on
his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, ”I
shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I’m going to retrieve it.”
The old farmer replied. “This is my property, and you are not
coming over here.” The indignant lawyer said, “I am one of the best trial
attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don’t let me get that duck, I’ll sue you
and take everything you own.” The old farmer smiled and said, “Apparently, you don’t know how we do things in this here state. We settle small disagreements like this with the Texas Three-Kick Rule.” The lawyer asked,
”What is the Texas three-Kick Rule?” The farmer replied. “Well, first I
kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on back and forth, until
someone gives up.”
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided
that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local
custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer’s groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick ! nearly wiped the man’s nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when
the farmer’s third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet, “Now
it’s my turn.” (I love this........)
The farmer smiled and said, “Naw, I give up. You can have your damn duck.”

Ferrari vs Moped (Vespa)

A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a brand new Ferrari 550. It is also the most expensive car in the world, and it costs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin.  While stopped at a red light, an old man (about 75 years old) on a moped (vespa) pulls up next to him. He looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya' got there, sonny?"  The young man replies, "A Ferrari 550. It cost half a million dollars!" "That's a lot of money, "says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?" "Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the young dude proudly. The moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"  "No problem," replies the owner.> > So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. 

Then sitting back on his moped, he says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right...but I'll stick with my moped!"  Just then the light changes so the guy decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph. Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror.  It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly, whhhoooossshhh! Something whips by him, going much faster!!!! "What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?!" he asks. He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the moped. Amazed that the moped could pass his Ferrari he gives it some more gas and passes the moped at 275 mph.  Whoooooosh! He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him again. Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.  

Not ten seconds later he sees the moped bearing down on him again. The Ferrari is flat out and there's nothing he can do. Suddenly the moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear. The young man jumps out and, unbelievably, the old man is still alive!!! He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh my word! Is there> anything I can do for you?" The old man whispers with his dying breath, "Unhook ... my suspenders...from your ... side-view mirror."

 "Grandma's Letter"

I got a letter from Grandma the other day She writes...

Dear Grandchild,

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a honk "if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it one my bumper.

Boy, I'm glad I did!

What an uplifting experience that followed! I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is... and I didn't notice the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed!

I found that LOTs of people love Jesus! Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind starting honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!" 

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I share in the celebration. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a "sunny beach"...

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. Then I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably some Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing...why, even he was enjoying this religious experience!

A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection.  

I noticed I was the only car that got though the intersection before the light changed again. I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

Sincerely,

Your Loving Grandmother

A university committee was selecting a new dean. They had narrowed the candidates down to a mathematician, an economist and a lawyer.  
Each was asked this question during their interview: "How much is two plus two?"

The mathematician answered immediately, "Four."

The economist thought for several minutes and finally answered, "Four, plus or minus one."

Finally the lawyer stood up, peered around the room and motioned silently for the committee members to gather close to him. In a hushed, conspiratorial tone, he replied, "How much do you want it to be?"
The professor of a contract law class asked one of his better students, "If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it?"

The student replied, "Here's an orange."

The professor was outraged. "No! No! Think like a lawyer!"

The student then replied, "Okay. I'd tell him 'I hereby give and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interests, rights, claim, title, claim and advantages of and in, said orange, together with all its rind, juice, pulp, and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat, the same, or give the same away with and without the pulp, juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before or hereinafter or in any deed, or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding...

of learning" is that first-year students bring some in, third-year students take none out--and so knowledge accumulates.

And you thought you had a bad day...


Needing a second opinion

A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he lay the dog on the table, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope, placing the  receptor on the dog's chest.  After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away." "What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on him or anything. I want another opinion!"

With that, the vet turned and left the room. In a few moments, The vet returned with a Labrador Retriever. The Retriever went right to work, checking the poor dead dog out thoroughly. After a considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and said "Bark."  The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few  moments  with a cat, who also checked out the poor dog on the table. As had his predecessor, the cat sadly shook his head and said, "Meow." He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room.

 The veterinarian handed the man a bill for $600. The dog's owner went ballistic. "$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"  The vet shook his head sadly and explained. "If you had taken my word for  it, it would have been $50, but with the Lab work and the cat scan it gets very costly..."


A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial - it went like this:

Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.

Q. Officer, who provided this description?
A. The officer who responded to the scene.

Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?
A. Yes sir, with my life.

Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer - do you have a locker room in the police station - a room where you change your clothes in preparation for you daily duties?
A. Yes sir, we do.

Q. And do you have a locker in that room?
A. Yes sir, I do.

Q. And do you have a lock on your locker?
A. Yes sir.

Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers?
A. You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.

With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's best "come-back" award and will no doubt win it.

Definition of Easter 

Three blondes died and are at the pearly gates of heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple question. St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?" The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful..." "Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde the same question, "What is Easter?" 

The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus." St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in disgust, tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and asks, "What is Easter?" 

The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is." "Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously. "Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover.  Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder." St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.

The third blonde continues, "Every February the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter."


The Fairy Godmother

A man and his wife were celebrating their 25th anniversary, both at the age of 50.

 A fairy godmother came to congratulate them both and to grant them each one wish.

 The fairy godmother turned to the wife and asked', “What is your wish?”

The wife thought for a second and replied, “I Would like a world tour.”

The fairy godmother waved her wand, and the wife was holding two world cruise line tickets in her hand.

 Then the fairy godmother turned to the husband and asked, “What would you like?”

The man thought for a second and replied, "I would like a wife 30 years younger than me."

The fairy godmother smiled, waved her wand, and the man was 80 years old.

Life's perception

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks.  If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up.

Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom & gloom pessimist. Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.  That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly. "Why are you crying?" the father asked.  "Because my friends will be jealous, and I'll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff. I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken," answered the pessimistic twin.

Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked. To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

Forever In Love

An elderly gent was invited to his old friends home for dinner one evening.  He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms-calling her Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.

The couple had been married almost 70 years, and they were still very clearly in love. While the wife was off in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his buddy, "I think it's wonderful that, after all the years you've been married, you still call your wife those loving pet names." The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth," he said. "I forgot her name about ten years ago."

Attracted by the Light 

In the backwoods of West Virginia, a redneck's wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. 

 Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here you hold this high so I can see what I am doing."   Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there," said the doctor, "Don't be such a rush to put that lantern down.  I think there's another one coming."  Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "Hold that lantern up, don't set it down, there's another one!", said the doctor.  Within a few minutes he had delivered another baby girl. "No, don't be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there's yet another one coming!" cried the doctor.

The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment and asked the doctor, "You reckon it might be the light that's attractin' 'em????"

Drinks & Personalities

Seven New York City bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman's personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts.

Drink: Beer Personality:     Casual, low-maintenance, down to earth.  
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying, a pain in the butt. 
Your Approach:  Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabin boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, very picky, knows exactly what she wants. 
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her; if she is interested, she'll send you a drink.

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel, see below) Personality: Conservative and classy, sophisticated yet giggles.  
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel Personality: Easy, thinks she is classy and sophisticated, but actually has no clue. 
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is; this should be an easy target.

Drink: Shots Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and is looking to get totally drunk ... and naked. 
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed this evening. Nothing to do but wait. However, be careful not to make her mad!

Then there is the male addendum. The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut:

Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.  

Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.

Wine: He's hoping that the wine thing will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid.

Whiskey: He doesn't give a hoot about anything but getting laid.

Tequilla: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.

White Zinfandel: He's gay (and looking to get laid).

Subject: Why Friends Send Jokes

Sometimes, we wonder why friends send jokes to us without writing a word.  Maybe this could explain:

When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch guess what you do --  you forward jokes.

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.

When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, You forward jokes.

To let you know that: you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved you are still cared for, you are still wanted, Guess what you get?

A forwarded joke from me.

So next time you get a joke, don't think that I have sent you just a joke, but that I have thought of you today and wanted to send you a smile.

Here one you might like.

Subject: BABIES

The Fosters were unable to have children and decided to use a proxy father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Foster kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon."  

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 

"Good morning madam. You don't know me but I've come to...." 
"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Foster cut in. 
"Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good! I've made a specialty of babies." 
"That's what my husband and I had hoped.  Please come in and have a seat. Just where do we start?" asked Mrs. Foster, blushing.  
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed.  Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out." 
"Bathtub, living room floor?  No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me."  
"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."  
"I hope we can get this over with quickly," gasped Mrs. Foster.  
"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure." 
"Don't I know!!", Mrs. Foster exclaimed.  
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London." 
"Oh my god!!", Mrs. Foster exclaimed, tugging at her sweater. 
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with." "I am afraid so," said the photographer. "The mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate." 
"I see," said Mrs. Foster.  
"Well madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so that we can get to work." 
"Tripod??", Mrs. Foster looked extremely worried.  
"Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for me to hold while I'm getting ready for action. Madam?

Madam?... Good Lord, she's fainted!!"

Mail

"A man was in his front yard mowing grass when his attractive blonde female neighbor came out of the house and went straight to the mailbox.  She opened it then slammed it shut stormed back in the house.  A little later she came out of her house again went to the mail box and again opened it, slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went.

 As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, she came out again,  marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever.  Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, "Is something wrong?"  To which she replied, "There certainly is!"

 This is another version to an earlier one entitled "New elements for the Periodic table"  

Two new additions to the periodic table of elements:

Element Name:            WOMANIUM 
Symbol:                        WO 
Atomic Weight:          (don't even go there)  
Physical properties:   Generally soft and round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze any time. Melts when treated properly.  Very bitter if not used well.

Chemical properties:   Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses strong affinity with gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. Violent when left alone.   Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a better specimen.  
Usage:                           Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income  reducing agent known.  
Caution:                        Highly explosive in inexperienced hands! 

> ------------------------------------------------<

Element Name:               MANIUM 
Symbol: XY 
Atomic Weight:             (180 +/- 50) 
Physical properties:      Solid at room temperature, but gets bent out of shape easily. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample.  Due to rust, aging samples are unable to create electricity as easily as younger samples. 

Chemical properties:     Attempts to bond with WO any chance it can get.  Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with KD (Element: CHILDIUM) for prolonged periods of time. Neutralize by saturating with alcohol.  
Usage:                             None known. Possibly good methane source. Good samples are able to produce large quantities on command.  
Caution:                          In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell.

 Have a rich day

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north.  After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard.  They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night." I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained. "I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.  "Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."

The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.  Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.  About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney.  It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.  

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up North?"  "Yes I do."  "Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"  "Yes." Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out." I have to admit that I did."  "And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?"  Bob's face turned red and he said, "Yeah, sorry buddy. I'm afraid I did.  Why do you ask? "She just died and left me everything."  

(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?)

Subject: Blonde Joke

A blonde's car breaks down on the Interstate, so she eases over onto the shoulder, carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk. Out jump two women in trench coats, who stand at the rear of the vehicle facing the on-coming traffic, and begin opening and closing their coats slowly, exposing themselves to approaching drivers.

Not surprisingly, one of the worst pile-ups occurs. It's not very long before a police car shows up. The cop, clearly enraged, runs toward the blonde yelling, "What the hell is going on here?"  "My car broke down," says the blonde, calmly. "And, what are these perverts doing here by the road?" screams the cop.  "Well, duh," replies the blonde, "they're my emergency flashers."

Subject: Chemistry lesson

The following is reputedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.  The answer was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, and is now making its way around the Internet.  

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

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 student, 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, lets 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 than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that 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 states 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 allows 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. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year that, "... it will be a cold day 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 and will not freeze"

A Chinese couple named Wong had a new baby. The nurse brings them over a lovely, healthy, bouncy, definitely Caucasian white baby boy!   "Congratulations," says the nurse to the new parents. "What will you name the baby?" The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says, "Well,two Wong's don't make a white, so I think we will name him Sum Ting Wong."

Finally, a Gore golf joke......     Now it's "Gore" instead of "fore"...?!?!?

A proposed revision to the rules of golf is being sought in South Florida which will replace the traditional call of "FORE". Once a player has hit an errant shot he will be allowed to call "GORE" while the ball is still in flight. He can then replace the ball in the same spot and hit it again.  

The player can do this until he is satisfied the ball is going where he intended to hit it in the first place. This will cause the time of play to be extended until such time the player can claim the hole. This revision  is causing some consternation to the PGA, but proponents say it is only fair.  

A test of this new rule was recently played out in an exclusive club in Palm Beach County Florida and the first hole only took 7 days to complete!!!

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department > store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas."  > Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow.  I'll come down after we close and see how you did he said.  

 His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?" Kid says,"One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" Kid says "$101,237.64"  Boss says "$101,237.64? What in the world did you sell?" 

Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook.  Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft.  Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Blazer."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, "Well, your weekend's shot. You might as well go fishing."


Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a country road. A brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, and Jovial Swiss wrist watch, gets out and asks the shepherd: "If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?"

The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the sprawling field of sheep and says: "Okay."  The young man parks the SUV, connects his notebook and wireless modem, enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 page report on his high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says:  "You have exactly 1,586 sheep here."  The shepherd answers: "That's correct, you can have your sheep."  The young man takes one of the animals and puts it in the back of his vehicle. The shepherd looks at him and asks: "Now, if I guess your profession, will you pay me back in kind?"   The young man answers: "Sure."  The shepherd says: "You are a consultant." "Exactly! How did you know," asks the young man?  

Very simple, answers the shepherd.  "First, you came here without being called.   Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew.  Third, you do not understand anything about my business and I'd really like to have my dog back."

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE 

To the citizens of the United States of America, 
    
In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to
govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today   Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories.  Except Utah, which she does not fancy. 

Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world  outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.  A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.  To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect. 

1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminum".  Check the pronunciation guide.  You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.  Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels.  Look up "vocabulary".  Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.  Look up "interspersed".
    
2. There is no such thing as "US English".  We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.  It really i!
sn't that hard. 
    
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as
the good guys.
    
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The
Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1.  We would not want
you to get confused and give up half way through.
    
6.  You should stop playing American "football".  There is only one kind
of football.  What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good
game.  The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football.  You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.  Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls.  It is a difficult game.  Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies).  We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005.
    
7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if
they give you any merde.  The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky.  The Russians have never been the bad guys.  "Merde" is French for "shit".
    
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday.  November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England.  It will be called "Indecisive Day".
    
9. All American cars are hereby banned.  They are crap and it is for your own good.  When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
    
10. Please tell us who killed !  JFK.  It's been driving us crazy.
    
Thank you for your cooperation.

One day a Florist goes to a Barber for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the Barber and the Barber replies: 'I am Sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community Service'. The Florist is happy and leaves the shop.  The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is a Thank you Card and a dozen roses waiting at his door. 
A Cop goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the Barber and the barber replies: 'I am Sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community Service'. The Cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is a Thank you Card and a dozen Donuts waiting at his door. 
A Lebanese goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the Barber and the barber replies: 'I >am Sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community >Service'.  The Lebanese of course is very happy and leaves the shop.  The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there..... A Dozen Lebanese guys waiting for a free haircut.

LATEST ON CELL PHONES!

An American, a German and a Japanese guy are golfing one day and are at the 3rd hole when they hear a phone ring. The American excuses himself, puts his left thumb to his ear, his left little finger to his mouth and proceeds to have a telephone conversation. When he is done, he looks at the other two and says "Oh, this is the latest American technology in cellular phones. I have a chip in my thumb and one in my little finger and the antenna is in my hat. Great stuff eh?"

They continue golfing until the 9th hole when, again, they hear a phone ring. The German tilts his head to one side and proceeds to have a conversation with someone in German. When he finishes, he explains to the other two that he has the latest in German technology cell phones. "A chip in my tooth, a chip in my ear and the antenna is inserted in my spine. Ah, the wonders of German superior know-how!"

At the 13th hole, a phone rings again and upon hearing it, the Japanese fellow disappears into some nearby bushes The German and the American look at each other and then walk over and peer into the bushes. In the middle of the bushes is the Japanese fellow, squatting with his pants down around his ankles, with a roll of toilet paper shoved up his rear end.    "What on earth are you doing?" asks the American.  The Japanese fellow looks up and replies, "Waiting for a fax".

This Fresh from London 

Marriage as defined by a man:  
Marriage is the number one cause of divorce, Statistically, 100% of all divorces start with a marriage! 
I married Miss Right, I just didn't know her first name was "Always" 
I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months, I hate to interrupt her.  
Marriage is a 3-ring circus:  Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering. 
God created woman, Since then, neither God nor man has rested. 
Why do men die before their wives? Because they want to.

A beggar walked up to a well dressed woman shopping, on Bond street, and said:" I haven't eaten anything in four days"  She looked at him and sais:"God,I wish I had your willpower" 

What is the punishment of Bigamy?  Tow mothers-in-law.

A man inserted an "ad" in the classified:"Wife wanted"  Next day he received a hundred lettres.  All letters said the same thing:"You can have mine"

The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.

First guy (proudly):"My wife is an angel !"  Second guy:"You're lucky, mine is still alive."

If you want your wife to listen and pay undivided attention to every word you say: talk in your sleep.

I understand the man who said:"I never knew what real happiness was, until I got married; and then it was too late".

Marriage is the most expensive way to get your laundry done for free...

Well Mrs Moooon, Don't you agree? and if not why not??

A beautiful woman with two red ears went to her doctor.  The doctor asked her what had happened to her ears.  And she answered, "I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang-but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear."

"Oh Dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief.  "But .. what happened to your other ear?"

A new monk arrived at the monastery. He was assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He noticed, however, that they were copying copies, not the original books. The new monk went to the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.

The head monk said, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son." The head monk went down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to look for him. He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying. He asked what was wrong.

"The word is 'celebrate,' not 'celibate'!" sobbed the head monk.

3 Friends

Three friends, two straight guys and a gay guy, and their significant others were on a cruise. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship; they all drowned, and next thing you know, they're standing before St. Peter.

First came one of the straight guys and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly. "I can't let you in. You loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."

Then came the second straight guy. "Sorry, can't let you in, either.  You loved food too much. You loved to eat so much, you even married a woman named Candy!"

The gay guy turned to his boyfriend and whispered nervously, "It doesn't look good, Dick."  


Anniversary Gift

A young man wanted to get his beautiful wife something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decides to buy her a cell phone. She is all excited -- she loves her phone. He shows her and explains to her all the features on the phone.

The next day the wife goes shopping. Her phone rings and it's her husband.  "Hi hon," he says. "How do you like your new phone?"  She replies, "I just love it. It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell. There's one thing I don't understand though." 

"What's that, baby?" asks the husband.  "How did you know I was at the Armani store?" 


This is a true story of correspondence that took place between a hotel guest and staff.  The hotel has a policy of giving free soap to all of its guests.

 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 3 in the shower soap dish. They are in my way.                    
Thank You                      
Sam 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 are my standing instructions from the management.
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.  
Sam Berman

Dear Mr. Berman,
My day off was last Wednesday 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 did not remove the 3 complimentary soaps which are always placed inside 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 A.M. 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.  Call extension #1108 between 8 am and 5 pm.
Thank You.  
Elain Carmen, Housekeeper

 Dear Ms 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 pm.  That's the reason I called Mr. Kensedder lat 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 another 3 bars on of the hotel soap in my medicine cabinet along with her regular delivery of 3 bars on the bathroom shelf.  In just 5 days here I have accumulated 24 little bars of soap.  Why are you doing this to me?             
Sam 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 -#I 108 between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
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 last night and had to call the bellhop to bring me 4 little Cashmere Bouquets.
Sam 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 any inconvenience.
Martin L. Kensedder, Asst.  Manager

Dear Ms.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 bath-size 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.  
Sam 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 that 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 Ms. Carmen,
Just a short note to bring you up-to-date on my latest soap inventory.  As of today I possess:
On shelf under medicine cabinet - 18 camays in 4 stacks of 4 and I stack of 2
On Kleenex dispenser - II Camays in 2 stacks of 4 and I stack of 3
On bedroom dresser - 7 Cashmere Bouquets in 1 stack of 3 and 1 stack of 4, 1 bath-sized Ivory and 8 Camays in 2 stacks of 4
Inside medicine cabinet-14 Camays in 3 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2 In shower soap dish - 6 Camay, very moist
On Northeast comer of tub - I Cashmere Bouquet, slightly used On Northwest corner of tub - 6 Camay in 2 stacks of 3.
 Please ask Kathy when she services my room to make sure the stacks are nt piled and dusted.  Also, please advise her that stacks of more than 4 have tendency to tip.  May I suggest that my bedroom window sill, which is not in u 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.

11.   The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare.  He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday.  He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays.  He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter.  Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.  Romeo’s last wish was  to be laid by Juliet.

15.     Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children.  In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up  in his attic.  Bach died from 1750 to the present.  Bach was the most famous  composer in the world and so was Handel.  Handel was half German half Italian  and half English.  He was very large.

16.     Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf.  He was so deaf he wrote loud music.  He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him.  Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.

17.     The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions.  People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine.  The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up.  Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men.  Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis.  Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species.   Madman Curie discovered radio.  And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers.

* EX-LAX - THE COUGHING WONDER DRUG

John was a clerk in a small drugstore, but he was not much of a salesman.  He could never find the item the customer wanted. Bob, the owner, had had enough and warned John that the next sale he missed would be his last.  Just then a man came in coughing. He asked John for their best cough syrup.  Try as he might John could not find the cough syrup. Remembering his boss' warning he sold the man a box of Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once.

The customer did as John said and then walked outside and leaned against a lamppost.  Bob had seen the whole thing and came over to ask John what had transpired.  "He wanted something for his cough, but I couldn't find the cough syrup.

So, I substituted Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once," John explained.  
"Ex-Lax?!! That won't cure a cough!" Bob shouted angrily.  
"Sure it will!" John said, pointing at the man leaning on the lamppost.  
"Just look at him. He's afraid to cough!"

A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border.  To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an  Iraqi soldier in a ditch along the road. A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, who was still barely alive. They ran to him,  cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened.   
"Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road, armed to the  teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, "Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying bastard!"   He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, "Bill Clinton is a  morally bankrupt asshole!"   "We were standing there shaking hands, in the middle of the road,  when the truck hit us."

Where is God?

There were two young brothers, 8 and 10 years old, who were exceedingly mischievous. Whatever went wrong in the neighborhood, it turned out they had a hand in it. Their parents were at their wits' end trying to control them.

Hearing about a rabbi nearby who worked with delinquent boys, the mother suggested to her husband that she would ask the rabbi to talk with the boys and he agreed.

The mother went to the rabbi and made her request. He agreed, but said he wanted to see the younger boy first and alone. So the mother sent the younger boy to the rabbi.

The rabbi sat the boy down across his HUGE, impressive desk. For about five minutes they just sat and stared at each other. Finally, the rabbi pointed his forefinger at the boy and asked, "Young man, where is God ?"

The boy looked under the desk, in the corners of the room, all around, then said nothing.

Again, louder, the rabbi pointed at the boy and asked, "Where is God ?"

Again, the boy looked all around but said nothing.

A third time, in a louder, firmer voice, the rabbi leaned far across the desk and put his forefinger almost to the boy's nose, and asked, "Young man, I ask you, where is God ?"

The boy panicked and ran all the way home. Finding his older brother, he dragged him upstairs to their room and into the closet, where they usually plotted their mischief. He finally said, "We're in Bi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-g trouble."

The older boy asked, "What do you mean, 'BIG trouble ?'"

His brother replied, "I'm tellin' ya', we're in BIG trouble. God is missing and they think we did it !!!"

Why did the chicken cross the road ?

 KINDERGARTEN TEACHER : To get to the other side. 
PLATO : For the greater good.  

ARISTOTLE : It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.
KARL MARX : It was an historical inevitability.
TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take. 
SADDAM HUSSEIN : This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. 
JACK NICHOLSON : Because it fucking wanted to. That's the fucking reason.
RONALD REAGAN : I forget.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK : To boldly go where no chicken has gone before. 
HIPPOCRATES : Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas. 

ARTHUR ANDERSEN CONSULTANT : Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to Synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN : The road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
MOSES : And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken,  "Thou shall cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it ? 
RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road. 
MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why ? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.
JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road ? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, What the heck was this chicken doing walking around al over the place, anyway ?" 
FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. 
BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road ?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing ?" 
DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads. 
EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference. 
BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature. 
RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road it transcended it. 
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain. 

COLONEL SANDERS: What I missed one ?

and here an updated version... courtesy of Andre from Paris...

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken
crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.

RALPH NADER: 
The chicken’s habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted
by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.

PAT BUCHANAN:  To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: 
I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road, but I’ll bet it was getting 
a government grant to cross the road, and I’ll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I’m talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.

JERRY FALWELL: 
Because the chicken was gay! Isn’t it obvious? Can’t you people see the
plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the “other side.” That’s what they call it—the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like “the other side.” 

DR. SEUSS:  Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I’ve not been told!

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:  To die. In the rain. Alone.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: 
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without
having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA:  In my day, we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us. 

>>BARBARA WALTERS:  Isn’t that intewesting? In a few moments we will be listening to the  chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-waming stowy of how it experienced a serious case of molting and went on to accomplish its wife-wong dream of crossing the woad.

JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.

ARISTOTLE:  It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX:  It was a historical inevitability.

SADDAM HUSSEIN:  This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

VOLTAIRE:  I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will defend to the death its right to do it.

CAPTAIN KIRK:  To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

FOX MULDER:  You saw it cross the road with your own eyes! How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

SIGMUND FREUD:  The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES:  I have just released e-Chicken 2003, which will not only cross roads,  but also will lay eggs, file your important documents and balance your checkbook - and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of e-Chicken.

MARTHA STEWART:  No one called to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the farmer’s market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:  Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:  I did not have sex with that chicken. What do you mean by chicken? Could >you define chicken, please?

THE BIBLE:  And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, “Thou shalt cross the road.” And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much  rejoicing.

FRANK PERDUE:  I missed a chicken?

******************************
 
New elements in Periodic Table

Scientists have discovered 2 new elements for the periodic chart :
 
-Element : WOMAN
- Symbol : Wo
- Atomic Weight : 120 lbs (more or less)
- Physical Properties: Generally round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze at any time. Melts when treated properly. Bitter if not used well.
- Chemical Properties: Very active. Possesses strong affinity to gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. Violent when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed beside a better  specimen. Ages rapidly.
- Usage : Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for disintegration of wealth. Probably the most powerful income-reducing agent known.
– Caution : Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.
 
-Element : MAN
- Symbol : Xy
- Common Name(s) : Varies anywhere from John to !@#$&*!
- Atomic Weight : 180 +/-100 lbs
- Physical Properties: Solid at room temperature but easily gets bent out of  shape. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample.
- Due to rust, aging samples are unable to conduct electricity as easily as young, fresh samples.
- Chemical Properties: Attempts to bond with Wo any chance it can get.
Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with Kd ( element Kid ) for a prolonged period of time. Pretty basic.
- Neutralize by saturating with alcohol.
- Usage: None really, except methane production. Good samples are able to produce large quantities on command.
- Caution: In the absence of Wo, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell.

Subject: Definition of an Engineer and a Manager

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces
height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts,
"Excuse me. Can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an
hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man below says, "Yes. You are in
a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are
between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W.
longitude." "You must be an engineer," says the balloonist. "I am," replies
the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you
have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your
information, and the fact is I am still lost." The man below says, "You must
be a manager." "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," says the man below, "you don't know where you are, or where you are
going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you
expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault!"

Golfing

One lovely morning, Ben and Thomas were out golfing. Ben slices his ball deep into a wooded ravine. He grabs his 8-iron and proceeds down the embankment into the ravine in search of his ball.

Ben searches diligently through the thick underbrush and suddenly he spots something shiny. As he gets closer, he realizes that the shiny object is in fact an 8-iron in the hands of a skeleton lying near an old golf ball. Ben excitedly calls out to his golfing partner: "Hey Thomas, come here, I got big trouble down here." 
Thomas comes running over to the edge of the ravine and calls out: "What's the matter Ben?"  
Ben shouts back in a nervous voice: "Throw me my 7-iron! Looks like you can't get out of here with an 8-iron."


The following four jokes  submitted by Elias Georges El Khouri, San Paulo, Brazil 

Don't underestimate Little Old Ladies

A little old lady walked into the main branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank holding a large paper bag in her hand. She told the young man at the window that she wished to take the 3 million dollars that she had in the
bag and open an account with the bank. But first, she said that she wished to meet the president of the bank due to the rather large amount involved. After looking into the bag and seeing bundles of $1,000.00 dollar bills which could have amounted to $3 million, he called the presidents office and saw to it that the old lady met with him.

The lady was escorted up stairs and ushered into the presidents office.
Introductions were made and she stated that she liked to know the people that she did business with on a more personal level. The president then asked her how she came into such a large amount of money "was it an
inheritance?" he asked.

"No", she replied. He was quiet for a minute trying to think where she could have come into $3 million.
"I bet" she stated.  
"You bet!" repeated the president. "As in horses?"  
"No", she replied, "I bet on people".

Seeing his confusion, she explained that she just bets different things with people. All of a sudden she said "I'll bet you $25,000.00 that by 10:00 am tomorrow morning your balls will be square." The bank president figured
that she must be off her rocker and decided to take her up on the bet.
He didn't see how he could loose. For the rest of the day he was very careful. He decided to stay home that evening and take no chances, there was $25,000.00 at stake.

When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he checked to make sure that everything was okay. There was no difference, he looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited for the little old lady to come in at 10:00 , humming as he went. He knew that this would be a good day, how often do you get handed $25,000.00 for doing nothing?

At 10:00 am sharp, the little old lady was escorted into his office. With her was a younger man. When the president inquired as to the purpose of his being there, she informed him that he was her lawyer, and that she always took him along when there was a large amount of money involved.

"Well", she asked, "what about our bet?"

"I don't know how to tell you this", he replied, "but I'm the same as I have always been, only $25,000.00 richer!". The lady seemed to accept this, but requested that she be able to see for herself. The president thought that this was reasonable and dropped his trousers. She instructed him to bend  over, then she grabbed hold of him. Sure enough everything was fine. The president then looked up and saw her lawyer banging his head against the wall.

"What's wrong with him?", the president asked.

"Oh him,' she replied, "I bet him $100,000.00 that by 10:00 this morning
that I would have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls."

The haircut

A priest goes into a barbershop, gets a haircut, thanks the barber, and asks how much he owes him. The barber says, "Father, you're a holy man, a man of the cloth, I couldn't charge you, it's on the house."   The priest says "Thank you very much" and leaves. 
The next day, magically appearing on the doorstep of the barbershop are 12 gold coins.

A few days later, a Buddhist monk goes in for a shave and a shine, and when the time comes to pay the barber says, "No money, please, you're a spiritual leader, a man of the people, it's on the house."  The next day, magically appearing on the doorstep are 12 rubies.

The following week a rabbi comes in, gets a haircut, goes to pay, and the barber says, "No, Rabbi, you are a learned man, a wise man, I can't take any money from you, go in peace."  And the next day, magically appearing on the doorstep of the barbershop are 12 rabbis.

I don't know if you ever heard an Aggie joke. An Aggie is a Texas A&M University student.

Subject: flagpole

A group of Aggie engineers are given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So they go out to the flagpole with ladders and tape measures, and they're falling off ladders, dropping the tape measure the whole thing is a mess.   

A draftsman comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it end to end, gives the measurement to one of the engineers, and walks away. After the draftsman has gone, one engineer turns to another, laughs and says, "Isn't that just like a draftsman? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length!"

Our first contribution is from no other than our beloved Al Mukhtaar Bil Mahjar, George Matar: 
Did he tell you on how HOT it got in Texas??!!

IT'S SO HOT IN TEXAS THAT...

1. The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.
2. The potatoes cook underground, and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
3. Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
4. The cows are giving evaporated milk.
5. The trees are whistling for the dogs.
6. A sad Texan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it - but for my 7-year-old."
7. A visitor to Texas once asked, "Does it ever rain out here?" A rancher quickly answered, "Yes, it does. Do you remember that part in the Bible where it rained for 40 days and 40 nights?" The visitor replied, "Yes, I'm familiar with Noah's flood." "Well," the rancher puffed up, "we got about two and a half inches of that."
8. You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.

17. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
18. You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
19. You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
20. No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
