 R&B Joke Hour, February 29, 2008

 

Dr. Bill Wattenburg's Joke:

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in

the  family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a
fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with
which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful
woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I
may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but in just a
few years, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later,
she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at estate planning than men.

 

Sandy in Salinas' Joke:

A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly
Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are
all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on earth has a
Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock move."

"Oh", said the man. "Whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's", replied St. Peter. "The hands have never
moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible", said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"

St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have
moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire
life."

"Where's George Bush's clock?" asked the man.

"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

 

Sherry in Newark's Joke:

Jose and Carlos are panhandlers...... They panhandle in different
areas of town.

Carlos panhandles just as long as Jose but only collects 8 - 9 dollars
every day.

Jose brings home a suitcase FULL of $10 bills, drives a Mercedes,
lives in a mortgage free house and has a lot of money to spend.

Carlos says to Jose "I work just as long and hard as you do but how do
 you bring home a suitcase full of $10 bills every day?".

Jose says, ... "Look at your sign, what does it say"?

 Carlos' sign reads, 'I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support'

 Jose says, "No wonder you only get $8 - 9 dollars."

 Carlos says... "So what does your sign say?"

 Jose shows Carlos his sign...... It reads:

"I only need another $10.00 to move back to Mexico!"

 

Chris in Santa Rosa's Joke:

A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an
animated conversation.

The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention
is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:

"Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more! .
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time."

The lady can't take this any more,

You foul-mouthed sex obsessed pig,"  she retorted indignantly.

"In this country. we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives"

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man.  "Who talkin' abouta sex? I'm a
justa tellin' my frienda how to spell 'Mississippi'."

 

Dana in Fremont's Joke:

I recently turned 50 and had to choose a new primary care physician.

After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing
"fairly well" for my age.

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her,
"Do you think I will live to be 75?"

She asked: "Do you smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages?"

"Oh no," I replied. "I don't do drugs, either."

 "Do you have many friends and entertain frequently?"

 I said, "No, I usually stay home and keep to myself".

 "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

 I said, "No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!"

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing,
hiking, or bicycling?"

 "No, I don't," I said.

 "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"

 "No," I said. "I don't do any of those things."

 She looked at me and asked, "Then why do you give a shit?"

 

Larry's Joke:

A Marine fighter pilot walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a
very attractive woman.  He gives her a quick glance then casually
looks at his watch for a moment.

The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"

"No," he replies, "I just got this state-of-the-art watch, and I was
just testing it."

The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch?  What's so
special about it?"

The Marine pilot explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically. "

The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"

"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties...."

"The woman giggles and replies, "Well, it must be broken because I am
wearing panties!"

The Marine pilot grins a little, taps his watch and says, "damn
thing's an hour fast."

 

Dr. Bill Wattenburg's Joke:


During one of her daily classes a teacher trying to teach good
manners, asked her students the following question:

"Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady,
how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee." The teacher responded
by saying, "That would be rude and impolite."

"What about you Peter, how would you say it?" Peter said, "I am sorry,
but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." "That's
better, but it 's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the
dinner table.

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us
your good manners?" "I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for
a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine….



(long pause and a smile) …..


whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."

(The teacher fainted......)

 

Tim's Joke:


When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend.

When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion, so I
decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life.

In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional.
Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time
 and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability.

When I was 25 I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was
totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became
so dull that I decided that I needed a girl with some excitement.

When I was 28 I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with
her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything.
She did mad impetuous things and made me miserable as often as happy.
She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So
I decided to find a girl with some real ambition.

When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted
firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she
divorced me and took everything I owned.


I am now older and wiser, and am looking for a girl with big tits.

 

Bill in San Francisco's Joke


A drunk walks out of a bar with a key in his hand and he is stumbling
back and forth.

A cop on the beat sees him and approaches .. "Can I help you sir?"

"Yessh ! Ssssomebody ssstole my carrr," ... the man replies.

The cop asks ... "Where was your car the last time you saw it?"

"It wasss on the end of thisshh key," the man replies.

About that time the cop looks down and sees the man's weener hanging
out of his fly for all the world to see.

He asks the man, "Sir, are you aware that you are exposing yourself?"

Momentarily confused, the drunk looks down at his crotch and without
missing a beat, blurts out ...

"I'll be damned .. ... My girlfriend's gone, too!!

 

Jean in Fremont's Joke:


Lulu was a prostitute. One day there was a raid.  All the prostitutes
were lined up outside the police station as they took them in one by
one.

As Lulu stood in line, she saw her Grandma coming down the street and
was so ashamed, because Grandma didn't know her occupation.  Grandma
stopped to say hi, and asked what the line was for.  Lulu, saving
face, said that the police were giving away fresh oranges to those
waiting.  Grandma said wonderful, she loved oranges and got at the end
of the line.

When the policeman got to the end and saw her, he was amazed.
He said,  "How the heck do you do this at your age?"
She said, "I just take out my teeth, rip the skin back and suck'em dry!"

The policeman fainted!

 

Max in Martinez' Joke


Three Texas surgeons are playing a round of golf, and they're telling
stories about their most difficult surgeries, trying to one-up each
other.

The first surgeon says, "I had a woman who received third degree burns
in a chemical accident.  All I had to work with was some skin from her
buttocks, and she not only recovered fully, now she's a supermodel."

The second surgeon says, "That's nothing.  I worked on a farm boy who
lost both his hands in a combine accident.  All I had to work with
were chopped up bits of skin and bones, but I was able to put them
back together, reattach them and now he's grown up to be a concert
pianist."

The third surgeon says, "I've got you all beat.  I worked on a cowboy
who accidentally rode his horse off a cliff.  All I had to work with

was the horse's ass and the cowboy hat, and now he's President of the
United States."

 

Mike in Petaluma's Joke:


Poor Dave works hard at the office and spends
two nights each week bowling and plays golf
every Saturday.

His wife thinks he's pushing himself too hard, so
for his birthday, she takes him to a local strip club.

The doorman at the club greets them and says,
"Hey, Dave! How ya doin?"

His wife is puzzled and asks if he's been to this
club before.

"Oh no," says Dave. "He's on my bowling team."

When they are seated, a waitress asks Dave if
he'd like his usual and brings over a Budweiser.

His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable
and says, "How did she know that you drink
Budweiser?"

"I recognize her, she's the waitress from the
golf club. I always have a Bud at the end of the
first nine, honey."

A stripper then comes over to their table, throws
her arms around Dave, starts to rub herself all
over him and says, "Hi Davey, want your usual
table dance, big boy?"

Dave's wife, now furious, grabs her purse and
storms out of the club.


Dave follows and spots her getting into a cab.

Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside
her.

Dave tries desperately to explain how the stripper
must have mistaken him for someone else, but
his wife is having none of it.

She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs,
calling him every 4-letter word in the book.

The cabby turns around and says, "Geez Dave,
you picked up a real bitch this time !"

 

Rich's Joke:


A man wakes up in the hospital.
The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained
consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a
pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and
everything, but..... Something happened. I'm trying to break this
gently, but the fact is, your penis was chopped off in the wreck, and
we were unable to find it."

The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You've got $45,000 in
insurance compensation coming to you, and we have the technology now
to build you a new penis that will work as well as your old one did -
better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $5000 an
inch."

The man perks up at this.
"So," the doctor says, "it's for you to decide how many inches you
want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean,
if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine
incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one
before, and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she
might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in
helping you make the decision."

The man agrees to talk with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day.
"So," says the doctor, "have you spoken with your wife?"
"I have," says the man.
"And has she helped you in making the decision?"
"She has," says the man.
"And what is it?" asks the doctor.
"We're getting a new kitchen."

John in Hawaii's Joke:


Morty visits Dr. Saul, the veterinarian, and says, "My dog has a problem."

Dr. Saul, "So tell me about the dog and the problem."

"It's a Jewish dog. His name is Irving and he can talk," says Morty.

"He can talk?" the doubting doctor asks.

"Watch this!" Morty points to the dog and commands: "Irving, Fetch!"

Irving, the dog, begins to walk toward the door, then turns around and says,
"So why are you talking to me like that? You always order me around like I'm
nothing. And you only call me when you want something. And then you make me
sleep on the floor, with my arthritis. You give me this fahkahkta food with
all
the salt and fat, and you tell me it's a special diet. It tastes like dreck!
YOU should eat it yourself! And do you ever take me for a decent walk? NO,
it's
out of the house, a short pish, and right back home. Maybe if I could
stretch
out a little, the sciatica wouldn't kill me so much! I should roll over and
play dead for real for all you care!"

Dr. Saul is amazed. "This is remarkable! What could be the problem?"

Morty says, "Come on, Doc! He has a hearing problem! I said 'Fetch', not
'Kvetch'"!

 

Alfred's Joke:


A man walks onto an airplane and takes his seat.  He looks up and
notices the most beautiful woman he has ever seen boarding the plane.
He is very nervous, and he soon realizes that she is walking down the
aisle toward him. When she takes the seat right next to him, he is
anxious to begin a conversation with her.  He asks, "Where are you
flying to today?"

She responds, "To the annual Nymphomaniac Convention in Chicago."
He is CRAZED with excitement!  Here is a gorgeous woman sitting next  to
him, and she's going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs!!!!
"And what do you do at this meeting?" he asks.
"Well," she says, "we try to dissolve some of the popular myths about
sexuality."
"And what myths are those?" he goes on desperately.
She goes on to explain:

"Well, one popular myth is that African American men
are the most endowed, when in fact, it is the Native American man who
owns this trait.
Also, it is widely believed that the Frenchman is the best lover, when
actually it is men of Jewish descent who make the best lovers."

"Very interesting....." the man responds.
Suddenly, the woman becomes very embarrassed and blushes. "I'm sorry,"
she says, "I just feel so awkward discussing this with you when I
don't even know you!  What is your name?"

The man extends his hand with replies,
" Tonto Goldstein."

 

Saiful in Santa Rosa's Joke:

A lawyer was cross-examining the doctor about whether or not he had
checked the pulse of the deceased before he signed the death
certificate. "No," the doctor said. "I did not check his pulse." "And
did you listen for a heartbeat?" asked the lawyer. "No I did not," the
doctor said. "So," said the lawyer, "when you signed the death
certificate, you had not taken steps to make sure he was dead." The
doctor said, "Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was in a jar
on my desk but, for all I know, he could be out practicing law somewhere."

 

Ethan's Joke:

The latest poll taken by the office of the Governor of Texas asked
whether people who live in Texas think illegal immigration is a
serious problem:

30% of respondents answered: "Yes, it is a serious problem."

70% of respondents answered: "No es una problema serio. "

 

Dorothy's Joke:


Two old men decide they are close to their last days and decide to
have a last night on the town.

After a few drinks, they end up at the local brothel.

The madam takes one look at the two old geezers and whispers to her
manager, "Go up to the first two bedrooms and put an inflated doll in
each bed. These two are so old and drunk, I'm not wasting two of my
girls on them. They won't know the difference."

The manager does as he is told and the two old men go upstairs and
take care of their business.

As they are walking home the first man says, "You know, I think my
girl was dead!"

"Dead?" says his friend, "Why do you say that?"

"Well, she never moved or made a sound all the time I was loving her."

His friend says, "Could be worse, I think mine was a witch."

"A witch ??....Why the hell would you say that?"

"Well, I was making love to her, kissing her on the neck, and I gave
her a little bite, then she farted and flew out the window...

Took my teeth with her!!"

R&B Joke Hour, October 19, 2007

 

Brian Copeland's joke:

An elderly couple was driving cross-country from Florida to attend their granddaughter's wedding. Both were hard of hearing, but she was growing deaf as a post.

They pulled into a service station, and the attendant asked the man if he could help them. The old man replied, "Fill her up!". His wife said, "WHAT'D HE SAY?"

The old man said, "HE WANTED TO KNOW IF HE COULD HELP US. I TOLD HIM TO FILL IT UP!"

"Oooh...", she replied.

When the attendant had filled up the tank, he returned to the driver's side and said, "Will that be cash or charge?"

The old man passed him his charge card, and the old lady said, "WHAT'D HE SAY?"

The old man replied, "HE WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS CASH OR CHARGE, AND I TOLD HIM TO CHARGE IT!"

"Ohhh..", she said.

The attendant returned with the card, and while the man was signing, he  said, "I noticed from your license plates and your charge card  that  y'all are from Florida. I was in Florida once, and I can tell you that all I can remember about that trip was that I got the worse piece of ass down there that I've ever had."

The old man nodded, and took his card back. The old woman said, "WHAT'D HE SAY?"

The old man said, "HE SAYS HE THINKS HE KNOWS YOU!"
 

Brian Banmiller's joke:

A husband and wife were scheduled to attend a Halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the Halloween party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed; and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by her not going. So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain, and as it was still early, decided to go to the party.

As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.

His Wife went up to him and, being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband. After more drinks he finally whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed. So off they went to her car and made passionate love in the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed. She began to wonder what kind of explanation he would make up for his outrageous behavior. She was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had.

'Oh, the same old thing. You know, I never have a good time when you're not there.'

Then she asked, 'Did you dance much?'

He replied, 'I'll tell you; I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guy. So we went into the spare room and played poker all evening.

'You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!' she said with unashamed sarcasm.

To which the husband replied, 'Actually, I gave my costume to your brother. He said he had the time of his life!'

 

Barbara's joke:

A woman just gave birth to a baby in a hospital.
As soon as she'd recovered, the doctor came in to speak to her.
"Your baby is in good health, but there's something important I need to tell you..."
The woman became worried:  "What's the matter with my baby... tell me please, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing really wrong, but your baby is a little...different.  He's a hermaphrodite."
"Hermaphrodite???"  "What is that?"
"Well...it means your baby is...that he has...all the equipment of a man and also that of a woman."
The woman pales:
"Oh my god!!!  You mean he has a penis AND a brain...?"

 

Mike in Petaluma's joke:

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings are the only animals that stutter," she says.
 
A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered," she volunteered.
 
The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

 "Well," she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!

"That must've been scary," said the teacher.

"It sure was," said the little girl. "My kitty raised his back, went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'... and before he could say "Fuck!",  the Rottweiler ate him!"

 

Cynthia in Redwood Shore's joke:

A bald man with a wooden leg is invited to a Halloween party. He doesn't know what costume to wear to hide his head and his leg so he writes to a costume company to explain his problem.  A few days later, he received a parcel with the following note:
 
Dear Sir,
 
Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and, with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a pirate.
 
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
 
The man thinks this is terrible because they have emphasized his wooden leg and so he writes a letter of complaint. A week goes by and he receives another parcel and a note, which says:
 
Dear Sir,
 
Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and, with your bald head, you will really look the part.
 
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co.
 
Now  the man is really upset since they have gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head so again he writes the company another nasty letter of complaint. The next day he gets a small parcel and a note, which reads:
 
Dear Sir,
 
Please find enclosed a bottle of molasses and a bag of crushed nuts.
Pour the molasses over your bald head, pat on crushed nuts, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a caramel apple.
 
Very truly yours,
Acme Costume Co

 

Inside the Beltway joke:

 Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad calls President Bush and tells him, "George, I had a wonderful dream last night. I could see America, the whole beautiful country, and on each house I saw a banner."

"What did it say on the banner?" Bush asks.
Ahmadinejad replies, "United States of Iran."

Bush says, "You know, Mahmud, I am really happy you called. Last night I had a similar dream. I could see all of Tehran, and it was more beautiful than ever. It had been rebuilt completely, and on each house flew an enormous banner."

"What could you see on the banners?"
Ahmadinejad says.

Bush replies, "I don't know, I can't read Hebrew."

 

Bill in San Francisco's joke:

A mother was working in the kitchen listening to her 5-year-old son playing with his new electric train in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son saying, "All of you sons of bitches who want off, get the hell off now...cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of bitches who are getting on, get your asses in the train...cause we're going down the tracks."
 
The horrified mother went in and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may
play with your train...but I want you to use nice language."

 Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say...   "All passengers, please remember your things, thank you and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon."

She heard her little darling continue..."For those of you just boarding, remember, there is no smoking in the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today."

As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the bitch in the kitchen.."

 

Brian Copeland's joke:

George w. Bush is out jogging one morning, notices a little boy on the corner with a box.

Curious, he runs over to the child and says, "What's in the box kid?"
The little boy says, "Kittens, they're brand new kittens."

George W. laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?"
"Republicans," the child says.

"Oh that's cute," George W. says and he runs off.

A couple of days later George is running with his buddy Bill Frist and he spies the same boy with his box just ahead.

George W. says to Frist, "You gotta check this out" and they both jog over to the boy with the box.

George W. says, "Look in the box Bill, isn't that cute? Look at those little kittens. Hey kid tell my friend Bill what kind of kittens they are."
The boy replies, "They're Democrats."

"Whoa!", George W. says, "I came by here the other day and you said they were Republicans. What's up?"

"Well," the kid says, "Their eyes are open now."

 

Chris Matthew's joke:

 Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore were in an airplane that crashed. They're up in heaven, and God's sitting on the great white throne. God addresses Al first.

"Al, what do you believe in?"

Al replies, "Well, I believe I won that election, but that it was your will that I did not serve. And I've come to understand that now."

God thinks for a second and says "Okay, very good. Come and sit at my left."

God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"

Bill replies, "I believe in forgiveness. I've sinned, but I've never held a grudge against my fellow man, and I hope no grudges are held against me."

God thinks for a second and says "You are forgiven, my son. Come and sit at my right."

God then address Hillary. "Hillary, what do you believe in?"

Hillary says, "I believe you're in my chair."

 

Barbara in San Jose's joke:

Little Johnny came home from school one day slightly confused. His mother was Jewish and his father was black.

So Johnny asks, Mommy, am I more Jewish or more black?"

"What does it really matter? If you want to know for sure you'll just have to ask your father," his mother tells him.

So, when his father arrived home from work, Little Johnny asks the same question, "Daddy, am I more Jewish or more black?"

 "What the hell kind of a question is that? Why do you want to know if you're more Jewish or more black?" asks his dad.

"Well, it's like this dad... Tommy down the street wants to sell his bicycle for $50, and I don't know whether to Jew him down to $25, or wait until it's dark and just steal the fuckin' thing."

 

Natasha in Manteca's joke:

A man walked into a supermarket with his zipper down. A lady cashier walked up to him and said, "Your barracks door is open." 
 

Not a phrase that men normally use, he went on his way looking a bit puzzled. When he was about done shopping, a guy came up and said,  "Your fly is open." He zipped up and finished his shopping. 
 

At the checkout, he intentionally got in the line where the lady cashier was that told him about his 'barracks door.' He was planning to have a little fun with her, so when he reached the counter he  said, "When you saw my barracks door open did you see a Marine standing in there at attention?"

The lady (naturally smarter than the man) thought for a moment and said, "No... no I didn't. All I saw was a disabled veteran sitting on a couple of old duffel bags."

 

Al's joke:

I was feeling depressed last week, so I called the mental health help line. Like all other call centers, it has been outsourced to a third world location.

When I told the operator in Pakistan that I was feeling suicidal, he got very excited and wanted to know if I could drive a truck or fly a plane.

 

Sallie in Los Gatos' joke:

A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.  The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

 

Mike in Petaluma's joke:

 Two priests at the Vatican were in the bathroom at the "trough" relieving themselves.  One priest looks over at the other and sees a Nicoderm patch on the penis of the priest next to him.
 
The first priest asks the other; "Isn't that patch supposed to be on your arm or leg or somewhere like that?"
 
The second priest replies; "No, its working fine just where it is......I'm down to two butts a day!"

 

Richard's joke:

A priest, a Pentecostal preacher, and a rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience.

Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first. "Well," he said, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and he became as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

The priest and the reverend both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

 

Nancy's joke:

Proof that men don't listen:
 
Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman.  Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check . Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He won't bother you.  But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!" "I REPEAT; DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"

When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen.  But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.  Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled,

"Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"


To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

See -  Men just don't listen!

 
 

Carole's joke:

A blind man wanders into an all woman biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee.
After sitting for awhile he yells to the waiter, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls silent. In a deep husky voice the woman next to him says, " Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it's only fair -  given the fact that you're blind - that you should know five things:
 
1.The bartender is a blonde woman with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde woman
3. I'm a six foot tall, 175 pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. the woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. the lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell the joke?

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, "No, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

 

Cynthia in Redwood Shore's joke:

 

A woman in her fifties is at home, unclothed, happily jumping on her bed and squealing with delight. Her husband watches her for a while and asks, "Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? What's the matter with you?"
 
The woman continues to bounce on the bed and says, "I don't care what you think. I just came from having a mammogram, and the doctor says that not only am I healthy, but I have the breasts of an 18 year-old.

The husband replies, "What did he say about your 55-year old ass?"

"Your name never came up," she replied.

 

Arthur in Santa Rosa's joke:

Man walks into a bar and orders a beer.
 
He spots a lady at the end of the bar and tells the bartender he wants to buy the old douche bag a drink.
 
The bartender tells the man that he can't come into the bar and offend his customers.
 
The man apologies and tells the bartender to give the lady a drink.
 
Later the man asks the bartender for another beer and another drink for the same lady.
 
By the way, "what is she drinking," says the man.
 
"Vinegar and water, " the bartender replies.

 

Jean's joke:

Two nuns, Sister Catherine and Sister Helen, are traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.

"Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Catherine. "What shall we do?"


"Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen.

Sister Catherine switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.

"What shall I do now?" she shouts.

"Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at the Vatican ," says Sister Helen.

Sister Catherine turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.

"Now what?" shouts Sister Catherine.

"Show him your cross," says Sister Helen.

"Now you're talking," says Sister Catherine.

She opens the window and shouts,

"Get the fuck off the car!"

 

Rose's joke:

 

Bill and Sam, two elderly friends, met in the park every day to feed the  pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. 

One day Bill didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it and  figured maybe he had a cold or something. But after Bill hadn't shown up for a week or  so, Sam really got worried.  However, since the only time they
ever got together  was at the park, Sam didn't know where Bill lived, so he was unable to find  out what had happened to him.

A month had passed, and Sam figured he had seen the last of Bill, but one  day, Sam approached the park and -- lo and behold! --there sat Bill!  Sam was very excited and happy to see him and told him so. Then he said,  "For crying out loud Bill, what in the world happened to you?"
 
Bill replied, "I have been in jail."

"Jail?" cried Sam. "What in the world for?"  

"Well," Bill said, "you know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the  coffee shop where I sometime go?"
 
"Yeah," said Sam, "I remember her. What about her?"
 
"Well,  she filed rape charges against me; and, at 89 years old, I  was so proud that when I got into court, I pled 'guilty' ... and  the judge gave  me 30 days for perjury." 
 

Brian Copeland's joke:

A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The Blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed.  She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing. The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the Blonde mortician a blank check and says, "I don't care what it costs, but, please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing."

The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe, the suit fits him perfectly.

She says to the mortician, "Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?"

To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check.  "There's no charge," she says.

"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!" she says. 

"Honestly, ma'am," the blonde says, "it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought  in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice."

"So I just switched the heads."

Bush Light Bulb Joke

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a
light bulb?

A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; it's conditions are
improving every day.

Any reports of its lack of incandescence are delusional spin from the
liberal media.

That light bulb has served honorably, and
anything you say undermines the lighting effect.

A gentleman asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an attractive

woman he spotted dining alone. The waiter took the Merlot to the woman
and said, "This is from the gentleman seated over there," indicating the
sender.
She regarded the wine coolly for a second, not looking at the man, and
decided to send a reply note to the man. The waiter, who was lingering for a
response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman.

The note read:

"For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage,
a million dollars in the bank, and 7 inches in your pants." After
reading the note,
the man decided to compose one of his own in return. He folded the note,
handed
it to the waiter and instructed him to return this to the woman.


It read:


"For your information, I have a Ferrari Maranello, a BMW Z8, a Mercedes
and a Porsche Turbo in my garage.


There is over twenty million dollars in my bank account.


But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut three inches

A missionary gets sent into deepest, darkest Africa and goes to live
with a tribe therein. He spends years with the people, teaching them to
read, write and the good Christian ways of the white man. One thing he
particularly stresses is the evils of sexual sin. Thou must not commit
adultery nor fornication!!

One day the wife of one of the Tribe's noblemen gives birth to a white
child. The village people are shocked and the chief is sent by his
people to talk with the missionary.

"You have taught us of the evils of sexual sin, yet here a black woman
gave birth to a white child. You are the only white man that has ever
set foot in our village. It doesn't take a genius to work out what has
been going on!"

The missionary replies: "No, no, my good man. You are mistaken. What you
have here is a natural occurrence - what is called an albino. Look to
thy yonder field. See a field of white sheep, and yet amongst them is
one black one. Nature does this on occasion."

The chief pauses for a moment then says
"Tell you what, you don't say anything about the sheep, I won't say
anything about the white child"!

In 1993, the American Government funded a study to see why the head of a
penis was bigger than the rest of it. After one year and $180,000.00,
they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to
give the man more pleasure during sex.

After the US published the study, France decided to do their own. After
$250,000.00, and 3 years of research, they concluded that the reason was
to give the woman more pleasure during sex.

Poland, unsatisfied with these findings, conducted their own study.
After 2 weeks and a cost of around $75.46, they concluded that it was to
keep a man's hand from flying off and hitting him in the forehead.

As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female
(e.g., "Steady as she goes" or "She's listing to starboard, Captain!")
Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that
computers should also be referred to as being female. Their reasons for
drawing this conclusion follow:
Five reasons to believe computers are female:

1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as,
"If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to
tell you."
4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later
retrieval.
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.

Johnnie Cochran was duck hunting in Montana recently, when he attempted
to cross a fence into a field to retrieve a duck he had shot. A farmer
suddenly pulled up in his pick-up truck, jumped out, and asked Mr.
Cochran what he was doing on his property.

"Retrieving a duck that I just shot," he replied.

"That duck is on my side of the fence, so now it's mine," replied the
farmer.

Mr. Cochran asked the farmer if he recognized who he was talking to.

"No," replied the farmer. "I don't know, and I don't care."

"I am Johnnie Cochran, famous lawyer from Los Angeles," came the reply.
"I am the lawyer that got O.J. Simpson off. I'm the reason he is a free
man today. And if you don't let me get that duck, I can sue you for your
farm, your truck, and everything else you own. I'll leave you penniless
on the street."

"Well," said the farmer, "In Montana the only law we go by is the '3
kicks law'."

"Never heard of it," said Johnnie.

The farmer said, "I get to kick you 3 times, and if you make it back to
your feet and are able to kick me back 3 times, that duck is yours."

Cochran thought this over. He grew up in a tough neighborhood and
figured he could take this old farmer. "Fair enough," he said.

So the farmer kicked Johnnie violently in the groin. As he was doubling
over, the farmer kicked him in the face, and when he hit the ground, he
kicked him hard in the ribs. Several moments later, Johnnie slowly made
it back to his feet.

"All right, now it's my turn", said Johnnie.

"Aw, forget it," said the farmer. "You can have the duck."

A Country Funeral

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a
grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The
funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man
would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a
typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I
saw the backhoe and the crew, who were eating lunch, but the hearse was
nowhere in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of
the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the
workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to
do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my
heart and soul.

As I preached the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and
"Glory," I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before:

 From Genesis all the way to Revelations.

I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the
workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything like that before and
I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

ordered a glass of champagne. The woman perks up and says,


"How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!"


"What a coincidence," he said, "This is a special day for me. I'm
celebrating."


"This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating!," says
the woman.


"What a coincidence," says the man. As they clinked glasses he asked,


"What are you celebrating?"


"My husband and I have been trying to have a child, and today my
gynecologist told me I'm pregnant!"


"What a coincidence," says the man. "I'm a chicken farmer. For years
all my hens were infertile, but today they're finally laying fertilized
eggs."


"That's great!" says the woman, "How did your chickens become
fertile?"


"I switched cocks," he replied.


She smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"

telling off the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.

 "You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. Look at
me... in me, I have Italian blood, French blood, a little Indian blood,
and some Swedish blood. What do you say to that?"

 The Englishman said, "Very sporting of your mother."

A biker stops by the local Harley Shop to have his bike fixed. They
couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would
just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and
bought a bucket and an anvil. He stopped by the feed store/livestock
dealer and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose.
However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem: how to carry
all of his purchases home. While he is scratching his head he was
approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked,
"Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?"

The biker said, "Well, as a matter of fact, I live at 1616 Mockingbird
Lane. I would walk you home but I can't carry this lot."
The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket,
Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the
goose in your other hand?"
"Why thank you very much," he said and proceeded to walk the old girl
home. On the way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley
We'll be there in no time."

The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, "I am a lonely
widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in
the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and
have your way with me?"

The biker said, "Holy smokes lady! I am carrying a bucket, an anvil, two
chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up
against the wall and do that?"
The lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put
the anvil on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and
handed it to the policewoman.

"Here it is," she said.

Texas Chivalry


       At Heathrow Airport in England, a 300-foot red carpet was
stretched out to Air Force One and President Bush strode to a warm but dignified
handshake from Queen Elizabeth II.

            They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of central
London where they boarded an open 17th century coach hitched to six magnificent white
horses.

            As they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking to their
side and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all was going well.

            This was indeed a glorious display of pageantry and dignity.

            Suddenly the scene was shattered when the right rear horse
let rip the most horrendous, earth-shattering, eye-smarting blast of flatulence ever
heard and the coach immediately filled with noxious fumes.

            Uncomfortable, but maintaining control, the two dignitaries
did their best to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen decided that was a ridiculous
manner with which to handle a most embarrassing situation. She turned to Mr. Bush and explained,

            "Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you
understand that  there are some things even a Queen cannot control."

            George W., ever the Texas gentleman, replied, "Your Majesty,
please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said something I would
have assumed it was one of the horses."

            A small Alabama Wild Animal Park acquired a very rare
species of gorilla.

Within a few weeks, the gorilla, who was a female, became very difficult
to handle.

            Upon examination, the park veterinarian determined the
problem. The gorilla was in heat.

To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available.

          Reflecting on their problem, the park administrator thought of
Eddie, a redneck part-time intern, who was responsible for cleaning the animal's cages.

         Eddie, like most rednecks, had little sense, but possessed
ample ability to satisfy a female of any species. The park administrator thought they might have a solution.

Eddie was approached with a proposition.

          Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500.00?

          Eddie showed some interest, but said he would have to think
the matter over carefully.

          The following day, Eddie announced that he would accept their
offer, but onlyunder the following 3 conditions.

         "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her on the lips."

          The park administrator quickly agreed to this condition.

          "Second," Eddie said, "you must never tell anyone about this."

         The park administrator again readily agreed to this condition.

          And last of all Eddie stated, "You've got to give me another
week to come up with the $500.00."

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.

When the director of Nursing became aware of Edna's heroic act, he considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news"

The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with the belt to his robe right after you saved him. I am sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

Paddy staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking
Buddy, Mick. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Brigit.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their
upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step.

As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and
he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket
broke and made the landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, Paddy sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked
in the hall mirror to see that his backside was cut and bleeding. He
managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a
Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the
now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, Paddy woke up with searing pain in both his head and
backside and Brigit staring at him from across the room. She said, "You
were drunk again last night weren't you Paddy?"

Paddy said, "Why would you say such a mean thing?"

"Well," Brigit said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the
broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood
trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly
it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror."

An 18 year old girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2
months.

Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit.

The test result shows that the girl is pregnant.

Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says "who was the pig that did
this to you?

I want to know!"

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house, a mature and
distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani
suit steps out of the
Ferrari and enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, mother and the girl, and
tells them:

"Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.

I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take
charge.

I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life.

Additionally, if a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a
townhouse, a beachfront villa and a $2,000,000 bank account.

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a
$4,000,000 bank account.

If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.

However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly
on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuck her again."

A man wakes up one morning to find a bear on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for "Bear Removers."

He calls the number, and the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.
The bear remover arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a mean old pit bull. "What are you going to do,"  the homeowner asks?

"I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, then I'm going to go up there and knock the bear off the roof with this baseball bat. When the bear falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The bear will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van." He hands the shotgun to the homeowner.
 
"What's the shotgun for?" asks the homeowner.

"If the bear knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog."

Bob was excited about his new rifle and decided to try bear hunting. He traveled up to Alaska, spotted a small black bear and shot it. Soon after there was a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see a big black bear. The bear said, "That was a very bad mistake. That was my cousin. I'm going to give you two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have sex."

After considering briefly, Bob decided to accept the latter alternative. So the black bear had his way with Bob.  Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Bob soon recovered and vowed revenge. He headed out on another trip to Alaska where he found the black bear and shot it dead. Right after, there was another tap on his shoulder. This time a huge grizzly bear stood right next to him. The grizzly said,

 "That was a big mistake, Bob. That was my cousin and you've got two choices: Either I maul you to death or I have sex with you."

Again, Bob thought it was better to cooperate with the grizzly bear than be mauled to death. So the grizzly had his way with Bob.  Although he survived, it took several months before Bob fully recovered. Now Bob was completely outraged, so he headed back to Alaska and managed to track down the grizzly bear and shoot it. He felt sweet revenge, but then, moments later, there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find a giant polar bear standing there. The polar bear looked at him and said, "Admit it Bob, you don't come here for the hunting, do you?"

"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first.  A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -- grass.

They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather, than take the final, they decided that after the final would have finished, they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They reported they visited friends but on the way back to campus they had a flat tire. As a result, they missed the final.

The Professor agreed they could make up the final the next day.

Then they turned the page...

On the second page was written: "For 95 points: Which tire was flat?"

"1955, ma'am."

"Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955!"

A young farmer who had been dating for several years decided it was time to get married. He and his fiancee set the date. Now on the night before their wedding, he informed her, "I want you to promise me, after we are married, you will never look in the trunk of my car." She reluctantly agreed.

On their 40th Anniversary, her curiosity after all these years, got the best of her so she sneaked out and opened the trunk of her husband’s car. There she found 3 ears of corn and $20,000 in cash. She quickly closed the trunk and went back inside.

When her husband came in the room, she said to him, "Dear, I’m sorry. After all these years I broke the promise I made to you before our wedding and looked in the trunk of your car. I am truly sorry."

"But you promised," he said. "Why would you break your promise now?"

"I told you I was sorry. But what I don’t understand is what are the 3 ears of corn for."

"Well," her husband said, "every time I was unfaithful to you during our marriage, I threw an ear of corn in the trunk."

"Well," he said, "every time I got a bushel of corn, I sold it."

Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots on?

He asked for help and she could see why. With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on - this time on the right feet.

He then announced, "These aren't my boots." She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to.  Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off.

He then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them." She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

She said, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."

After having dug to a depth of 1,000 meters last year, French scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years and came to the conclusion that their  ancestors had a telephone network all those centuries ago..

Not to be outdone by the French, English scientists dug to a depth of 2,000 meters and shortly after headlines in the U. K. newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 2,000-year-old fiber-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors had an advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand years earlier than the French."

 One week later, Israeli Newspapers reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 5,000 meters in a Jerusalem marketplace, scientists had found absolutely nothing. They, therefore, concluded that, 5,000 years ago, Jews  were already using wireless technology."

This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think  before she speaks.

What happens when you predict snow but don't get any?

We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked "So Bob, where's the 8 inches you promised me last night?"

Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half of the crew did too they were laughing sooo hard!!

R&B Joke Hour, February 3, 2006

Submitted by Sam and Bobbi

I got a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend the other day.  We lost  track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic nights we used to enjoy  together.  I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in  meeting up and rekindling a little of that "magic."

Wow!"  I said. "I don't know if I could keep pace with you now.  I'm a bit older and my energy is somewhat reduced since you last saw me!"

She just giggled and said she was sure I'd "rise" to the challenge.

"Yeah" I said, "just so long as you don't mind a man with a waistline that's a few inches wider these days!"

She laughed and told me to stop being so silly.  She teased me, saying  that  tubby, easy-going men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a  great lover.

"Anyway," she giggled, "I've put on a few pounds myself!"

So I told her to f*** off.

Bill Maher's Rules for 2006

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com! There's a  reason  you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly  like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.

New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description
 for these  kids: lucky bastards.

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care  about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole  aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery  taste.  You want flavored  water?  Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop messing with old people. Target is introducing a  redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is  now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his  ass  will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the  Social  Security crisis.

New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my  card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount,  deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid  who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven  deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating,  because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned  exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already  doing  that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."

New Rule: I don't need a bigger, mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms,  I'll  go nuts and eat two.

New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old  television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote  so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason  something was a television show in the first place is that the idea  wasn't  good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for  weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab.  Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants.  After I  zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just  some  freak with a fetish.  I don't want to be on your webcam, dude. I just want  to wash my hands.

An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring and showed it to him.

The old man said, "I don't think you understand, I want something Very special." At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock And brought another ring over.

"Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000," the jeweler said. The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it."

The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, By check. " I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon," he said.

Monday morning, a very  teed-off jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account."

"I know," said the old man, "but can you imagine the weekend I had?"

An old couple are having dinner at a restaurant and the husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this very tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you."

"Yes, she says, "I remember it well."

"Ok," he says, "How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?"

"Oh Charlie, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but very good idea!"

There's a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, "I've got to see these two old timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble." So he follows them.

They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence.

The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.

Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know.

After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on.

The Policeman, still watching thinks, this was truly amazing. I've got to ask them what their secret is. As the couple passes, he says to them, "Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?"

The old man says, "Well, fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."

The First Time

The sky was dark
The moon was high
All alone just she and I

Her hair was soft
Her eyes were blue
I knew just what
She wanted to do

Her skin so soft
Her legs so fine
I ran my fingers
Down her spine

I didn't know how
But I tried my best
I started by placing
My hands on her breast

I remember my fear
My fast beating heart
But slowly she spread
Her legs apart

And when I did it
I felt no shame
All at once
The white stuff came

At last it's finished
It's all over now
My first time ever
At milking a cow.....

A young man moved into a new apartment, and went to the lobby to put his name on his mailbox. While there, an attractive young lady came out of the apartment next to the mailboxes, wearing a robe.
 
The boy smiled at the young woman and she started a conversation with him. As they talked, her robe slipped open, and it was obvious that she had nothing else on. The poor kid broke into a sweat trying to maintain eye contact. After a few minutes, she placed her hand on his arm and said, "Let's go to my apartment, I hear someone coming."

He followed her into her apartment; she closed the door and leaned against it, allowing her robe to fall off completely. Now nude, she purred at him, "What would you say is my best feature?"

 Flustered and embarrassed, he finally squeaked, "It's got to be your ears."
 
Astounded, and a little hurt she asked, "My ears?  Look at these breasts; they are full and 100% natural. I work out every day and my butt is firm and solid. Look at my skin - no blemishes anywhere.   How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears?"
 
Clearing his throat, he stammered  .... "Outside, when you said you heard someone coming.... that was me."

A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man.

The first man looks very quizzically at the dog and asks why the dog is allowed on the plane. The second man explained that he is a DEA agent and that the dog is a  "Sniffing dog." His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work."

The plane takes off, and once it has leveled out, the agent says: "Watch this." He tells Sniffer to "search."  Sniffer jumps down, walks along the aisle, and finally sits very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds.

Sniffer then returns to its seat and puts one paw on the Agent’s arm.

The agent says, "Good boy", and he turns to the man and says: "That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I’m making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land."

"Say, that's pretty neat," replies the first man.

Once again, the agent sends Sniffer to search the aisles.

The Lab sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds returns to its seat, and this time, he places TWO paws on the agent's arm.

The agent says, "That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the police."

"I like it!" says his seatmate.

The agent then told Sniffer to "search" again.

Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to poop all over the place.

The first man is really grossed out by this behavior and can't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would act like that, so he asks the agent "What's going on?"

The agent nervously replied, "He just found a bomb!"

A Super Bowl Joke

A guy named Joe receives a free ticket to the Super Bowl from his company.

Unfortunately, when Joe arrives at the stadium, he realizes the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium, he's closer to the Goodyear  Blimp than the field. About halfway through the first quarter, Joe sees through his binoculars an empty seat 10 rows off the field right on the 50 yardline.

He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat. As he sits down, Joe asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?"  The man says "No."

Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Joe again inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at the Super Bowl and not use it?!"  The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't been together at since we got married in 1967."

"Well, that's really sad," said Joe, "but still, you couldn't find anyone to take the seat? A friend or close relative?"

"No," the man replies, "They're all at the funeral."

It was, and the woman said to her husband, "It's nearly frozen to death. Can we take it with us, get it warm and let it go in the morning?"

He said, "Okay, get in the car with it."

"Where shall I put it to get it warm?"

He said, "Put it in between your legs. It's nice and warm there."

"But what about the smell?"

"Just hold its nose."

The man is expected to recover, but the baby skunk she used to beat the s**t out of him died at the scene.

FEMALE POEM

I want a man who's handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen long
One who thinks before he speaks
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I want him to be gainfully employed,
And when I spend his cash, he's not annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! For a man who makes love to my mind
And knows what to answer to "how big is my behind?"
I want this man to love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.

Hi Ronn, my friend Helen passed the following news on to me:

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.

Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his; dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a  little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

WHY YOU NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket, where she selected: A half-gallon of 2% milk, A carton of eggs,  A quart of orange juice,  A head of romaine lettuce, A 2 lb. can of coffee, And a 1 lb. package of bacon.

As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single."

The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single.

She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off  the drunk to her marital status.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know  what, you're absolutely correct, but how on earth did you know  that?

There was this couple that had been married for 20 years. Every time they made love the husband always insisted on shutting off the light.
 
Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous. She figures she would break him out of this crazy habit. So one night, while they were in the middle of a wild, screaming, romantic session, she turned on the lights. She looked down and saw her husband was holding a battery-operated leisure device...a vibrator! Soft, wonderful and quite large. She went completely ballistic. "You impotent jerk,"  She screamed at him, "How could you lie to me all of these years?  You better explain yourself!"

The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says calmly:  "I'll explain the toy . . . you explain the kids."

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour surgical procedure. A young, student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse", he mumbles, from behind the mask. "Are my testicles black?"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."

 He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"

Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other, lifting and moving them around. Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!!"

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very  closely......

"I know," the old man said. "We were probably sitting here naked as a jaybird fifty years ago."

"Well," Granny snickered. "Let's relive some old times."

Where upon, the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table.

"You know, honey," the little old lady breathlessly replied, "My nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago."

"I wouldn't be surprised," replied Gramps.  "One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest  man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet.  The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more  drop of juice out would win the money.

Many people had tried over time: weight-lifters, longshoremen,  etc., but nobody could do it.

One day this scrawny little fellow came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a small voice,  "I'd like to try the bet." After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed lemon, and squeezed away.  Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little fellow.  But the  crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.

As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked  the little man: "What do you do for a living?  Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?"

The little fellow replied: "I work for the United Jewish Appeal."

Interesting Psychological Fact:

A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For example:

If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.  However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to  prefer a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.

Further studies in this area have been canceled.

A lonely woman, aged 70, decided that it was time to get married.

She put an ad in the local paper that read:
HUSBAND WANTED!
 MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's),
MUST NOT BEAT ME,
MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME
AND MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED!
ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON.

On the second day she heard the doorbell.

Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman sitting in a wheel chair. He had no arms or legs.

The old woman said, "You're not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just look at you....you have no legs!"

The old man smiled, "Therefore I cannot run around on you!"

She snorted "You don't have any hands either!"

Again the old man smiled, "Nor can I beat you!"

She raised an eyebrow and gazed intently. "Are you still good in bed?"

With that, the old gentleman leaned back, beamed a big broad smile and said,  "I rang the doorbell didn't I?"

 The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem and gave him a book on assertiveness. After finishing the book, the man went home, stormed into the house and walked up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that *I* am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my dinner, I expect a sumptuous dessert. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

 A woman walks into a curio shop in San Francisco.  Looking around at the exotica, she notices a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat.  It has no price tag, but is so striking she decides she must have it.  She takes it to the owner: "How much for the bronze rat?"

 "Twelve dollars for the rat, a hundred dollars for the story," says the owner.

 The woman gives the shop owner twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat, you can keep the story."

 As she walks down the street carrying his bronze rat, she notices that a few real rats have crawled out of alleys and sewers, and begun following her down the street.  This is a bit disconcerting, so she begins walking a little faster.  Within a couple blocks, the group of rats behind her grows to over a hundred, and they begin squealing.  She starts to trot toward the Bay.  She takes a nervous look around and sees that the rats now number in the thousands, maybe millions and they are all squealing and coming toward her faster and faster.  Now terrified, she runs to the edge of the Bay, and throws the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as she can.  Amazingly, the millions of rats all jump into the Bay after it, and are all drowned.

 The woman walks back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," says the owner, "I'll bet you have come back for the story?"

 "No," said the woman, "I came back to see if you have a bronze Republican."

 At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a synagogue.  While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles.  What do you do with the candle drippings?"

 "Good question," noted the Rabbi.  "We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles."

 "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way:  "What about all these matzo purchases?  What do you do with the crumbs?"

 "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question.  "We collect them and send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a free box of matzo balls."

 "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi.  "Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"

 "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi.  "What we do is save up all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."

 A man goes into the unemployment office in San Francisco to look at job openings on the bulletin board. Since there aren’t many jobs it doesn’t take him long. Then, just as he’s on his way out, he spots something.

 “Wanted,” it says, “Single man, willing to travel, must have own scissors. $500 per day, guaranteed, plus company car and all expenses.”

 Well, it sounds a bit too good to be true, but he makes a note and walks up at the counter. “I’d like to apply for this job,” he says, “reference number E78446.”

 “Oh, that one,” says the clerk. That is a model agency right here in San Francisco.   They are looking for a pubic hair snipper. The agency supplies girls who model underwear and bathing suits. Before they go on the catwalk, they’d report to you and you would inspect them carefully and snip off any wisps of pubic hair showing. It pays well, but there are a few drawbacks. It involves quite a lot of travel. The Bahamas, Tahiti, Paris, London ... that sort of thing...and you have to get used to expense account living in first-class hotels.”

 “I reckon I could learn to live with all that,” says the fellow.  "I’d really like to apply for the job.” The clerk shrugs and says, “OK, here’s an application form and a bus ticket to Reno.”

 “RENO? What do I wanna go to Reno for?”

 “Well,” says the clerk, “that’s where the end of the application line is at the moment!”

 A guy walks into a bar with his pet alligator, puts the gator up on the bar, and faces the patrons. "If I open this alligator’s mouth and place my genitals inside, leave ’em there for five minutes, then remove my unit unscathed, will each of you buy mea drink?"

The father realizes the boy has swallowed the quarter and starts panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the book store. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly.

  A young blonde from Kentucky was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted to take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking for the highly prized shoes. After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Well then, maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator, so I can get a pair of shoes at a decent price!" The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, y'all just go and give it a try, why don'cha!" The blonde turned on her heel and headed out toward the swamps, determined to catch herself an alligator. Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to the side of the levee where he spots that same young woman standing waist deep in the murky bayou water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he spots a huge 9-foot gator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning speed, she takes aim, kills the creature and, with a great deal of effort, hauls it onto the slimy swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper stands on the bank and watches this scenario in amazed silence. Just then, the blonde struggles and flips the gator on its back. Then, rolling her eyes heaven-ward and screaming in great frustration, she shouts out, "Crap, this one is barefoot, too!"

  A beautiful, well endowed, young lady, goes to her local pet store in search of an exotic pet. She spots a box full of frogs. The sign says: "Sex Frogs...Only $20 each! Money Back Guarantee! (Comes with complete instructions)." The girl excitedly looks around to see if anybody's watching her and whispers softly to the man behind the counter, "I'll take one." As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, she reads the instructions carefully:  1. Take a shower  2. Splash on some nice smelling perfume  3. Slip into a very sexy teddy  4. Crawl into bed and place the frog on the bed   Following the instructions exactly, she quickly gets into bed with the frog. Nothing happens.  The girl is totally frustrated and quite upset.  She rereads the instructions and notices at the bottom of the paper, "If you have any problems or questions, please call the pet store."  She calls and is told by the salesman, "I had some complaints earlier today.  I'll be right over." Within five minutes he is ringing her doorbell and is welcomed in.  "See, I've done everything according to the instructions and the damn thing just sits there." The salesman picks up the frog, stares directly into its eyes "Listen to me froggy.  I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time!"

The doctor stood him up onto the examining table and started examining him. He put one finger under his left testicle andtold the midget to turn his head and cough, the usual method to check for a hernia. "Aha!" mumbled the doc and, as he put his finger under the right testicle, he asked the midget to cough again. "Aha!" said the doctoragain and reached for his surgical scissors. Snip-snip-snip-snip on the right side, then snip-snip-snip-snip on theleft side. The midget was so scared he was afraid to look, but noted withamazement that the snipping did not hurt. The doctor then told him to walk around the examining room to see if his testicles still hurt. The midget was absolutely delighted as he walked around and discoveredhis testicles were no longer aching. The doctor said, "How does thatfeel now?" The midget said, "Perfect, Doc, and I didn't even feel it! What did youdo?" The doctor replied ... "I cut two inches off the top of your cowboy boots."

Here's a dilemma for you.... With all your honor and dignity what would you do? The test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please consider each line -- this is important for the test to workaccurately. You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact... There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it. Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. Suddenly you know who it is -- it's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you cantake the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men. And here's the question (please give an honest answer) .... Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

A small wild animal park in Arkansas acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the gorilla, who was a female, became very difficult to handle.
Upon examination, the park veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat and to make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available.
Reflecting on their problem, the park administrator thought of Bubba Jones, an Arkansas redneck who was a part-time intern, who was responsible for cleaning the animal's cages. Bubba, like most rednecks, had little sense, but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species. The park administrator thought they might have a solution. Bubba was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for $500.00?
The following day, Bubba announced that he would accept their offer, but only under the following four conditions.
"First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her on the lips." The park administrator quickly agreed to this condition.
"Second," Bubba said, "you must never tell anyone about this." The park administrator again readily agreed to this condition.
"Third," Bubba said, "I want all the offspring to be raised in the South." Once again the administrator agreed.
And last of all Bubba stated "You've got to give me another week to come up with the $500.00."

Not looking up from her knitting the wife says sweetly from the passenger seat, "Now don't be silly, dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?"
The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did."
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Darn it, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?!"

"You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine.
"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine into his office. "You may say two words today."
"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.
"It's probably best", said the Priest, "You've done nothing but bitch since you got here."

Morris comes home to find his wife, Sadie, crying. "I found out from Mrs. Goldberg that you've been having an affair with that chippie secretary in your office. Why would you do that to me? Haven't I always been the good wife? I've cooked for you, raised your children, and I've always been by your side for thirty-five years. What haven't I done to make you happy?"
Embarrassed, Morris confesses, "It's true, Sadie, you've been the best wife a man could hope for. You make me happy in all ways but one. You don't moan when we make love!"
"If I moaned when we made love, you'd stop running around?! All right, come to the bedroom so I can show you that I, too, can moan during sex!"
So they retire to the bedroom, get undressed, and climb beneath the sheets.
As they begin to kiss, Sadie asks, "Now, Morris, should I moan now?"
"No, not yet."
Morris begins fondling Sadie. "What about now? Should I moan now?"
"No, I'll tell you when"
He climbs on top of Sophie and begins to make love to her.

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position.
After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to 2 men and a woman, but only one position was available.
The day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."
The man got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!"
"Well," says the CIA man, "You're definitely not the right man for this job then."
So they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances", they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."
The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes.
"I tried to shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job."
"No" the CIA man replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Now they're down to the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door to the same room and handed her the same gun.
"We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."
The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the CIA men heard the gun start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet.
The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with the chair!"

While walking down the street one day, a female head of state is tragically hit by a truck and dies. Her 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 lady.

"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."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven," says the head of state.

"I'm sorry but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts her to the elevator and she goes down, down, down to Hell. The doors open and she finds herself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a club and standing in front of it are all her friends and other politicians who had worked with her, everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet her, hug her, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at 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 she realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives her a big hug and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on Heaven where St. Peter is waiting for her.

"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 she realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well then, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now choose your eternity."

She reflects for a minute, then the head of state answers: "Well, I would never have said it, I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in Hell."

So Saint Peter escorts her to the elevator and she goes down, down, down to Hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and she is in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. She sees all her friends dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bag. The Devil comes over to her and lays his arm around her neck.

"I don't understand," stammers the head of state. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and club 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 her, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning. Today, you voted for us!"

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds. Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, 'What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people."

God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land mass and said, "What's that one?" "Ah"' said God. "That's California, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, deserts, streams, hills, and forests. The people from California are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. "

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!!!"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in Sacramento."

A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in. The doctor arrived, examined the baby, checked his weight, found it somewhat below normal, and asked if the baby was breast fed or bottle fed.

"Breast fed," she replied.

"Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered. She did. He pressed, kneaded, rolled, cupped, and pinched both breasts for a while in a detailed, rigorously thorough examination. Motioning to her to get dressed he said, "No wonder this baby is under weight. You don't have any milk."

"I know," she said, "I'm his grandmother, but I'm glad I came."

As the man takes off his shirt, tattooed on his arm is the word “Nike”.

The woman asks “What is that?”

“Oh” says the man. I was working out at the gym and a guy comes up to me and says I’ll pay you $5000 dollars to tattoo the name ‘Nike’ on your arm. So I took it.”

The woman thinks this is a bit odd, but oh well, she likes him.

As the man takes off his pants, he has the word “Converse” tattooed on each leg.

The woman again asks about these odd tattoos.

“Well,” says the man. “A second guy came into the gym while I was working out and saw the Nike tattoo and said he would give me $100,000 for each leg, if I would tattoo ‘Converse’ on each leg.

Well the woman is getting leery, but hasn’t had sex in a while and figures the lights will be out soon enough, so ignores this new revelation.

Finally, the man drops his shorts and the woman is aghast. Upon his penis is the word “Aids” is tattooed.

“Whoa” yells the woman “I’m not sleeping with anyone with AIDS.”

The man states, “Give it a moment, it will say Adidas.”

The poor little guy starts crying. "Come on man, I was just giving you a hard time," says the truck driver. "I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man crying." "This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy between sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I have no insurance. I grabbed a cab home but, after the cab left, I discovered I had forgotten my wallet in it.

Dan Rather, Jesse Jackson, Cokie Roberts from National Public Radio and a Marine were hiking through the jungle one day when they were captured by cannibals.

They were tied up, led to the village and brought before the chief. The chief said, "I am familiar with your western custom of granting the condemned a last wish. Before we kill and eat you, do you have any last requests?"

Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowlful of hot, spicy chili."

The chief nodded to an underling, who left and returned with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, "Now I can die content."

Jesse Jackson said, "You know, the thing in this life I am proudest of is my work on behalf of the poor and oppressed. So before I go, I want to sing 'We Shall Overcome' one last time."

The chief said, "Go right ahead, we're listening."

Jackson sang the song, and then said,"Now I can die in peace."

Cokie Roberts said, "I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end."

The chief directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder, and Roberts dictated some comments. She then said, "Now I can die happy."

The chief said, "And, Mr. Marine, what is your final wish?"

"Kick me in the ass." said the Marine.

"What?" said the chief. "Will you mock us in your last hour?"

"No, I'm not kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass." insisted the Marine.

So the chief untied the Marine, shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9mm pistol from his waistband, and shot the chief dead. In the resulting confusion, he leapt to his haversack, pulled out an M16, and sprayed the cannibals with gunfire. In a flash, the cannibals were all dead or fleeing for their lives.

As the Marine was untying the others, they each asked him, "Why didn't you just shoot them? Why did you ask them to kick you in the ass? "

"What!?" said the Marine, "And have you assholes call ME the aggressor?!?"

Three Engineers and three MBAs are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three MBAs each buy tickets and watch as the three Engineers buy only a single ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an MBA. "Watch and you'll see," answers an Engineer.

They all board the train. The MBAs take their respective seats but all three Engineers cram into a bathroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the bathroom door and says, "Ticket, please."

The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The MBAs see this and agree it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the MBAs decide to copy the Engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Engineers don't buy a ticket at all.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed MBA. "Watch and you'll see," answers an Engineer.

When they board the train the three MBAs cram into a bathroom and the three Engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Engineers leaves his bathroom and walks over to the bathroom where the MBAs are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

One day, Pinocchio and his girlfriend were in bed doing what girls and wooden boys do. As they were cuddling later, Pinocchio could tell that something was bothering his girlfriend. So he asked her, "What's the matter, baby?"

Pinocchio's girlfriend gave a big sigh and replied, "You're probably the best guy I've ever met, but every time we make love you give me splinters." This remark bothered Pinocchio a great deal, so the next day he went to seek some advice form his creator, Gepetto.

When Pinocchio arrived, Gepetto could tell something was bothering Pinocchio, and asked him what was the matter. Pinocchio revealed his dilemma to Gepetto. Gepetto searched up and down for a solution. Eventually, he suggested that sandpaper might be able to "smooth" out Pinocchio's relationship with his girlfriend. Pinocchio graciously thanked Gepetto and went on his way.

Gepetto had not heard from Pinocchio for a while and therefore assumed that the sandpaper had solved all of Pinocchio's problems. A couple weeks later, Gepetto was in town to have some blades sharpened at the hardware store when he ran into Pinocchio. When he saw Pinocchio buying all the packs of sandpaper the store had in stock, Gepetto remarked, "So, Pinocchio, things must be going pretty damn good with the girls, eh?" To which Pinocchio replied, "Girls? Who needs girls?"

A man came home from work, sat down in his favorite chair turned on the TV, and said to his wife, "Quick, bring me a beer before it starts."

She looked a little puzzled, but brought him a beer.

When he finished it, he said, "Quick, bring me another beer. It's gonna start."

This time she looked a little angry, but brought him a beer.

When it was gone, he said, "Quick, another beer before it starts.

"That's it!" She blows her top. "You bastard! You waltz in here, flop your fat arse down, don't even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave. Don't you realize that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long ......"

The REAL story!

After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. "So, how is everything going?" inquired God. "It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking; the smells, the sights -- everything is wonderful. But I have just this one problem. It is these three breasts that you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out, and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches, snagging them on bushes. They are a real pain," reported Eve.

Eve went on to tell God that many other parts of her body (such as her limbs, eyes, and ears) came in pairs, and she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more "symmetrically balanced," as she put it.

"That is a fair point," replied God, "but it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away." And God reached down, removed the middle breast, and tossed it into the bushes.

Three weeks passed, and God once again visited Eve in the garden. "Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation now?"

"Just fantastic," she replied, "but for one oversight on your part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her Bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone."

God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate, and I will immediately create a man from a part of you...Now let's see...Where did I put that useless boob?"

Now, doesn't THAT make more sense than that business about the rib?

CIA TEST:

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before anyone can even be considered for the position. After sending some applicants through the background checks and testing, the CIA narrowed the possible choices down to three men.

The day came for the final test to see which man would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the applicant men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."

The man had a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!"

"Well," said one CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then!"

So they brought the second man to the same door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."

The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about five minutes, then the door suddenly opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife! I guess I'm not the right man for the job..."

"No," the CIA man replied, "you don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go the hell home!"

Now one man was left to test. Again they lead him to the same door leading to the same room and handed him the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."

The third man took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the CIA men heard several gun shots, one shot after another for a total of 13 shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room. The CIA men heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet. The door opened slowly, and there stood the third man. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat her to death with the chair!"

Little Tommy (who is Jewish) was doing very badly in math.

His parents had tried everything: tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short, everything they could think of. Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Tommy down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work.

His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he was done he marched back to his room without a word and in no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while his mother tried to understand what made the difference.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math! She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said: "Son, WHAT was it?? Was it the nuns??" Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, no. "Well, then," she replied, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms??

WHAT was it??" Little Tommy looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."

A high school English teacher reminds her class of their final exam the next day, "Remember, I won't tolerate ANY excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it; no other excuses whatsoever!"

A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raises his hand and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"

The class does its best to stifle their laughter and snickering.

Silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

Tommy goes into a confessional box and says, "Bless me, father, for I have sinned, I have been with a loose woman." The priest says, "Is that you, Tommy?" "Yes, father, it is I." "Who was the woman you were with?" "I cannot tell you for I do not wish to sully her reputation." The priest asks, "Was it Brenda O'Malley?" "No, father." "Was it Fiona MacDonald?" "No, father." "Was it Ann Brown?" "No, father, I cannot tell you." The priest says. "I admire your perseverance, but you must atone for your sins. Your penance will be five Our Fathers and four Hail Marys." Tommy goes back to his pew and his buddy Sean slides over and asks what happened. Tommy replies: "I got five Our Fathers, four Hail Marys and three good leads."

Moral of the Story

I was happy. My girlfriend and had been dating for over a year, and had decided it was time to get married.

My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream!

There was only one thing bothering me..... my mother-in-law to be.

She was a career woman, smart, beautiful and sexy. She flirted with me occasionally, which made me feel uncomfortable.

One day she called me and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. So I went.

She was alone, and when I arrived, she whispered to me, that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. So before I got married and committed my life to her daughter, she wanted to make love to me just once.

What could I say? I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.

So, she said, "I'll go to the bedroom, and if you are up for it, just come and get me."

I stood there for a moment, and then turned around and went to the front door. I opened it, and stepped out of the house.

Her husband was standing outside, and with tears in his eyes, hugged me and said, "We are very happy and pleased, you have passed our little test. We couldn't have asked for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

Moral of the story: Always keep your condoms in your car.

Dear Abby:

I am a crack dealer in New Jersey who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of the HIV virus. My parents live in a suburb of Philadelphia and one of my sisters, who lives in Bensenville, is married to a transvestite.

My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Jersey City. I have two brothers. One is currently serving a non-parole life sentence in Attica for murder of a teenage boy in 1994. The other brother is currently being held in the Wellington Remand Center on charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in the Bronx and is still a part time "working girl" in a brothel. Her time there is limited as we hope to open our own brothel with her as the working manager. I am hoping my two sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although I would prefer them not to prostitute themselves, it would get them off the street, and hopefully, the heroin habits.

All thing considered, my main problem is this. I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family and I certainly want to be totally honest with her. Should I tell her about my distant cousin who is French?

Signed,

Worried About My Reputation

This married man goes to the confessional and says to his priest, "I had an affair with a woman........almost......"

The priest says, "What do you mean, almost? "

The man says, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped."

The priest says, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. Now say 5 Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."

The man leaves the confessional, goes over and says his prayers, then walks over to the poor box. He pauses for a moment and then starts to leave.....

The priest, who was watching him, quickly runs over to him and says, "I saw that, you didn't put any money in the poor box"

The man replies, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and apparently that's the same as putting it in!"

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery was staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis.

The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society.

"In fact," he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society."

After the curator left, a young man in a West Virginia T-shirt approached the couple and said, "Would you like to know what the painting is really about?"

"Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery?" asked the couple.

"Because I'm the guy who painted it," he replied... "In fact, there are no African Americans depicted at all. They're just three West Virginia coal miners, and the guy in the middle went home for lunch."

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only say one thing. They say, 'Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?' and keep repeating it all the time."

"That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed. Then he thought a moment. "You know," he said, "I may have a solution. I have two male talking parrots that I have taught to pray and read the bible. Bring your two over and we'll put them in the cage together and Frank and Jacob will teach themto pray and worship."

"Thank you," the woman responded, "this may well be the solution." The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw two male parrots holding rosary beads and praying.

Impressed, she walked over and placed her two parrots in with them.

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison, "Hi, we're hookers!

Do you want to have some fun?"

There was a stunned silence. Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, "Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!"

I was traveling between New York and Boston the other day when I got a flat tire. Checking my spare, I found that too was flat. My only option was to flag down a passing motorist and get a ride to the next town.

The first vehicle to stop was an old man in a van. He yelled out the window "Need a lift?". "Yes, I sure do," I replied. "You a Democrat or Republican?" asked the old man. "Republican," I replied. "Well, you can just go to hell," yelled the old man as he sped off.

Another guy stopped, rolled down the window, and asked me the same

question. Again, I gave the same answer, "Republican." The driver gave me the finger and drove off. I thought it over and decided that maybe I should change my strategy. Since this area seemed to be overly political and there appeared to be few Republicans.

The next car to stop was a red convertible driven by a beautiful blond. She smiled seductively and asked if I was a Democrat or Republican. "Democrat!" I shouted. "Hop in," replied the blond.

Driving down the road, I couldn't help but stare at the gorgeous woman in the seat next to me, the wind blowing through her hair, perfect breasts and a short skirt that continued to ride higher and higher up her thighs.

Finally, I yelled, "Please stop the car." She immediately slammed on the brakes and as soon as the car stopped I jumped out. "What's the matter?" she asked. "I can't take it anymore." I replied. "I've only been a Democrat for five minutes and already I want to screw somebody."

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is color-coded."

The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon chimes in: You know, I like construction workers. They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would."

But the fifth surgeon shuts them all up when he observes: "The French are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls and no spine. Plus the head and ass are interchangeable.

After several weeks of meeting for coffee, Claude asked Maude out for dinner and she accepted. They had a lovely evening. Afterward, Claude asked Maude to join him at his place for an after-dinner drink. Things continued along a natural course and, age being no inhibitor, Maude soon joined Claude for a most enjoyable roll in the feathers.

As they were basking in the glow of the magic moments they shared, each was lost for a time in their own thoughts.

Osama bin Laden has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do here," the devil says. "You're on my list, but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do: I've got a couple of people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

Osama thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil led him into the first room.

In it was Manuel Noriega and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty-handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell.

"No," bin Laden said, "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

So the devil led him to the next room. In it was the Ayatollah Khomeini with a sledgehammer and a huge pile of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

"No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I'd be in constant agony if all I did was break rocks all day," bin Laden commented.

So the devil opened a third door. In it, bin Laden saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was his girl Monica, doing what she does best. Osama bin Laden stared in disbelief and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this."

The devil smiled and said, "OK, Monica, you're free to go."

Valentines Rhymes

These are entries to a Washington Post competition asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first line but ... the least romantic second line:

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
But I only slept with you, because I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not

I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes-
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "go to hell"

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

Here's a timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for an organization.

Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.

It seemed a little strange, but I ignored it.

However, when the busboy brought out water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket, then looked around the room and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets.

When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?"

"Well," he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired Anderson Consulting, experts in efficiency, in order to revamp all our processes."

"After several months of statistical analysis, they concluded that customers drop their spoons 73.84 percent more often than any other utensil."

"This represents a Drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. "

"If our personnel is prepared to deal with that contingency, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift."

As luck would have it I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare spoon. "I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now."

I was rather impressed.

The waiter served our main course and I continued to look around.

I then noticed that there was a very thin string hanging out of the waiter's fly.

Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies.

My curiosity got the better of me and before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?"

"Oh, certainly!" he answered, lowering his voice.

"Not everyone is as observant as you. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the restroom."

"How so?" I asked.

"See," he continued, "by tying this string to the head of you know what, we can pull it out over the urinal without touching it and that way eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent."

"Okay, that makes sense, but . . . if the string helps you get it out, how do you put it back in?"

"Well," he whispered, lowering his voice even further, "I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon."

Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?"

Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?" "Osama Bin Laden," she says.

"Why Osama Bin Laden?" her father asks in shock. "Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."

Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound pride. "Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."

A bright, young, fresh-out-of-school auditor just joined the IRS, excited to begin tracking down high-powered offenders, like the Enron or WorldCom guys.

Anxious for his first high-powered audit, he was a bit dismayed when his assignment was to audit a Rabbi. Looking over the books and the taxes were pretty straight forward, and the Rabbi clearly very frugal, so he thought he'd make his day interesting by having a little fun with the Rabbi.

"Rabbi," he said, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles." "Yes," answered

the Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked.

"A good question," noted the Rabbi. "We actually save them up and when we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker. And every now and then, they send us a free box of candles."

"Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his unusual question actually had a practical answer.

So he thought he'd go on, in his obnoxious way..."Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases?

What do you do with the crumbs from the matzo?" "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi calmly, "we actually collect up all the crumbs from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls."

"Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi.

"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcisions?"

"Yes, here too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to the IRS."

"The IRS?," questioned the auditor in disbelief.

"Ahh, yes," replied the Rabbi, " the IRS....and about once a year, they send us a little prick like you." ===

One day the girls decided, when the boss left, they would leave right behind her. After all, she never called or came back to work, so how would she know they went home early?

Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her husband fooling around with her boss! Gently, she closed the door and crept out of her house.

The next day, at their coffee break, the brunette and redhead planned to leave early again, and they asked the blonde if she was going to go with them.

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

A blonde walks by a travel agency and notices a sign in the window, Cruise Special -- $99!"

So she goes inside, lays her money on the counter and says, "I'd like the $99 cruise special, please."

The agent grabs her, drags her into the back room, ties her to a large inner tube, then drags her out the back door and downhill to the river, where he pushes her in and sends her floating.

A second blonde comes by a few minutes later, sees the sign, goes inside, lays her money on the counter, and asks for the $99 special. She too is tied to an inner tube and sent floating down the river.

Somehow drifting into stronger current, she eventually catches up with the first blonde. They float side by side for a while before the first blonde asks, "Do they serve refreshments on this cruise?"

The second blonde replies, "They didn't last year...."

Two blondes are in heaven...

One blonde says to another, "How did you die?" "I froze to death," says the second.

"That's awful" says the first blonde. "How does it feel to freeze to death?"

"It's very uncomfortable at first," says the second blonde. "You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes. But eventually, it's a very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if you're sleeping."

"How about you, how did you die?" asked the second blonde.

"I had a heart attack," says the first blonde. "You see I knew my husband was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly. I ran up to the bedroom, and found him alone watching TV. I ran to the basement, but no one was hiding there either. I ran to the second floor, but no one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could to the attic, and just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack and died."

The second blonde shakes her head. "What a pity! If you had only looked in the freezer, we'd both still be alive."

As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load." The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.

When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.

At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker lowers the window. Again she says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"

When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and as she lowers it, he says...

"Hi, my name is Kevin, it's winter in Minnesota and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some training on a Navajo Indian reservation.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question which his son translated. "What are these guys in the big suits doing?"

A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder. After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate it. He refused.

So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed but refused to translate the elder's message to the moon.

Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government translator. He reported that the moon message said, "Watch out for these assholes; they have come to steal your land."

Ariel Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister comes to Washington for meetings with President Bush. For the State Dinner, Laura Bush decides to bring in a special Kosher Chef and have a truly Jewish meal. At the dinner that night, the first course is served and it is matzoh ball Soup.

President Bush looks at this and after learning what it is called he tells an aide that he can't eat such a gross and strange-looking brew. The aide says that Mr. Sharon will be insulted if he doesn't at least taste it.

Not wanting to cause any trouble, after all he ate sheep's eye in honor of his Arab guests, the President gingerly lowers his spoon into the bowl and retrieves a piece of matzoh ball and some broth. He hesitates, then swallows and a grin appears on his face.

He digs right in and finishes the whole bowl.

"That was delicious," he says to Sharon. "Do the Jews eat any other part of the matzoh or just the balls?"

Three mice are sitting at a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night, trying to impress each other about how tough they are. The first mouse throws down a shot of bourbon, slams the empty glass onto the bar, turns to the second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese."

The second mouse orders up two shots of tequila, drinks them down one after the other, slams both glasses onto the bar, turns to the first mouse and replies, "Oh yeah? When I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it up to a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."

The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse finishes the beer he has in front of him, lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this b.s. Gotta go home and boink the cat."

There was a man who really took care of his body. One day he took a look in the mirror and noticed that he was tan all over except for his penis. So he decided to do something about it. He went to the beach and got completely undressed and buried himself in the sand, except for his penis, which he left sticking out.

Two old ladies were strolling along the beach, one using a cane. Upon seeing the thing sticking up out of the sand, she began to move it around with her cane, remarking to the other lady, ''There is no justice in this world.'' The other lady asked what she meant.

"Well, when I was 20, I was curious about it. When I was 30, I enjoyed it. When I was 40, I asked for it. When I was 50, I paid for it. When I was 60, I prayed for it. When I was 70, I forgot all about it. Now I'm 80 and the damn things are growing wild and I'm too old to squat!"

Once upon a time a powerful Emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new Chief Samurai. After a year, only three applied for the job: a Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish Samurai.

"Demonstrate your skills!" commanded the Emperor. The Japanese samurai stepped forward, opened a tiny box and released a fly. He drew his samurai sword and * Swish! * the fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two!

"What a feat!" said the Emperor. "Number Two Samurai, show me what you do."

The Chinese samurai smiled confidently, stepped forward and opened a tiny box, releasing a fly. He drew his samurai sword and * Swish! * Swish! * The fly fell to the floor neatly quartered.

"That is skill!" nodded the Emperor. "How are you going to top that, Number three Samurai?" Number Three Samurai, Obi-wan Cohen, stepped forward, opened a tiny box releasing one fly, drew his samurai sword and Swoooooosh! flourished his sword so mightily that a gust of wind blew through the room. But the fly was still buzzing around!

In disappointment, the Emperor said, "What kind of skill is that? The fly isn't even dead."

"Dead, schmead," replied the Jewish Samurai. "Dead is easy. Circumcision... THAT takes skill!"

Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?" Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"

"Osama Bin Laden," she says.

"Why Osama Bin Laden?" her father asks in shock.

"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore." Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound pride.

This is so typical of a child. Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his boots? He asked for help and she could see why. With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."

She looked and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on -- this time on the right feet.

He then announced, "These aren't my boots." She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, Why didn't you say so? like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off. He then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them." She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

She said, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."

Her trial starts next week.

It is teeming rain and the rising river begins to threaten all manner of private homes, including that of the local Rabbi.

With water coming into the ground floor, a rowboat with police comes by, and the officer shouts, "Rabbi, let us evacuate you! The water level is getting dangerous."

The Rabbi replies, "No thank you, I am a righteous man, who trusts in the Almighty, and I am confident He will deliver me."

Three hours go by, and the rains intensify, at which point the Rabbi has been forced up to the second floor of his house. A second police rowboat comes by, and the officer shouts, "Rabbi, let us evacuate you! The water level is getting dangerous."

The Rabbi replies, "No thank you, I am a righteous man, who trusts in the Almighty, and I am confident He will deliver me."

The rain does not stop, and the Rabbi is forced up onto the roof of his house. A helicopter flies over, and the officer shouts down, "Rabbi, grab the rope and we'll pull you up! You're in terrible danger!"

The Rabbi replies, "No thank you, I am a righteous man, who trusts in the Almighty, and I am confident He will deliver me."

The deluge continues, and the Rabbi is swept off the roof, carried away in the current and drowns. He goes up to heaven, and at the Pearly Gates he is admitted, and comes before the Divine Presence. The Rabbi asks, "Dear Lord, I don't understand. I've been a righteous, observant person my whole life, and depended on You to save me in my hour of need. Where were You?"

And the Lord answers, "Schmuck, I sent two boats and a helicopter. What more do you want?"

"Well," says the Tyson man, "we anticipated your reluctance. For this reason, we will increase our offer to $300 million dollars. All we require is that you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken'."

Again, the Pope replies, "That, my son, is impossible. As I have said, this prayer represents the immutable word of God and it cannot be changed under any circumstance no matter how good it may appear."

Finally, the Tyson guy says, "Your Holiness, we at Tyson Foods respect your adherence to your faith, but we do have one final offer. We will donate $500 million dollars -- that's half a billion dollars -- to the great Catholic Church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken'. Please consider it." And so he leaves.

The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals. "There is some good news," he announces, "and some bad news. The good news is that the Church has come into $500 million dollars."

"And the bad news, your eminence?" asks a Cardinal.

The Pope replies, "We're losing the Wonder Bread account."

Submitted byMary Jane in Pleasant Hill (as heard on the Dr. Dean Edell Show):

Maude and Claude, who were up in years, met one another at a retirement community. They found they had similar interests and enjoyed spending time together. One day Claude asked Maude if she'd like to go out to dinner with him sometime. She said she would, so they set a date. They had a wonderful time and afterwards Claude invited Maude to his apartment for after-dinner coffee. She told him she would enjoy that. As they finished their coffee, Claude moved closer and asked if she would like to go to bed with him. Maude thought for a moment and told him that was a good idea. So, they went to bed and there was a fair amount of action. When they were finished, Claude thought to himself : "I wish I had known she was a virgin. I would have been more gentle." Maude thought to herself: "I wish I had known he could do it -- I would have taken off my pantyhose."

A husband was advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't have to let your wife hen peck you. Go home and show her you're the boss."

The husband took the doctor's advice. He rushed home, slammed the door, shook his fist in his wife's face, and growled, "From now on, you're taking orders from me. I want my supper right now, and when you get it on the table, go upstairs, and lay out my best clothes. Tonight I'm going out with the boys and you are going to stay at home where you belong. And another thing, guess who's going to comb my hair, give me a shave, and tie my necktie?"

His wife said calmly, "The undertaker."

This morning, as I lie on my bed thinking about you, I have this strong urge to grab you ... because I just can't forget about last night.

Late in the balmy night, unexpectedly, you came to me in my bed and what happened there still leaves a tingling sensation in me.

You appeared out of nowhere and shamelessly, without reservation, you laid on my naked body without guilt or humiliation. You drove me crazy with your taunting and sucking.

Only after you were finally satisfied did I fall asleep, but today, when I woke up, you were gone. I've searched for you everywhere, to no avail. My sheets still bear witness to last night's events, as does my body, which still shows your mark, making it that much harder to forget you.

Tonight I promise to remain awake and wait for you and as soon as you appear, I will grab you and never let you go. This time you won't disappear. And, I won't rest until I squeeze the life out of you and destroy you once and for all, you damned mosquito!

A plumber received a call from a lady whose sink had a bad leak. The plumber said he could come right over. The lady said that would be great but she had to go out. She agreed to leave her key under the door mat by the kitchen, she also mentioned that she had a large pit bull dog and a parrot in the kitchen. The dog would be no problem she said, but what ever you do, don't talk to the parrot.

When the plumber arrived all was as the lady said ... key under mat, pit bull sleeping and a parrot squawking in its cage. The plumber started to repair the leak all the while the parrot was making all kinds of noises and swearing at the plumber. The poor plumber could take it no longer and yelled at the parrot to shut up!

The parrot was quite for a moment ... and than said, "Sic him, Max!"

A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red. One day while taking a walk she came upon a gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.

The woman asked the gentleman, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?" The gentleman responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden and expose myself and my tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."

Well, the woman was so impressed she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she exposed herself to her garden hoping for the best.

One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, How did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?"

"No" she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous."

Submitted by William in Petaluma:

A young boy goes off to college, but about 1/3 way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered what money his parents gave him.

"Hmm ...," he wonders, "how am I gonna get more dough?"

Then he gets an idea. He calls his father. "Dad," he says, "you won't believe the wonders that modern education are coming up with! Why, they actually have a program here that will teach Buster how to talk!"

"That's absolutely amazing!" his father says. "How do I get him in that program?"

"Just send him down here with $1000," the boy says, "I'll get him into the course."

So, his father sends the dog and the $1000. About 2/3 way through the semester, the money runs out. The boy calls his father again.

"So how's Buster doing, son?" his father asks.

"Awesome, dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe this -- they've had such good results with this program, that they've implemented a new one to teach the animals how to READ!"

"READ!?" says his father, "No kidding! What do I have to do to get him in that program?"

"Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." ...And his father sends the money.

At the end of the semester, the boy has a problem. When he gets home, his father will find out that the dog can neither talk nor read. So he shoots the dog. When he gets home, his father is all excited. "Where's Buster? I just can't wait to hear him talk and listen to him read something!"

"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news. This morning, when I got out of the shower, Buster was in the living room kicking back in the recliner, reading the morning paper, like he usually does. Then he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin' around with that little redhead who lives over on Oak Street?' "

The father says, "Oh, NO! I hope you SHOT that lyin' son of a bitch!"

"I sure did, Dad!"

"That's my boy!"

From Father Guido Sarducci (as told by Bill Newsome):

When you die and go to heaven, you're given a bankroll of $250,000. But before you can enter the pearly gates, you have to pay off your sins.

Take murder, for example. You lose all. Armed robbery costs you $25,000. Or suppose you went out and stole a car. That's ten thousand bucks.

Masturbation costs a quarter.

Why only a quarter?

Well, it adds up!

From Dan and Jean:

Maria is a devout Catholic: She gets married and has 17 children. Soon after the last child is born her husband dies.

A few weeks later she remarries and over the years has another 22 children with her second husband. After the last child is born her second husband also dies.

Within a month Maria is engaged to be married a third time. Unfortunately she becomes very ill and dies.

At her wake the priest looks tenderly at Maria as she lies in her coffin, looks up to the heavens and says, "At least, they're finally together." A man standing next to the priest asks, "Excuse me, Father, but do you mean Maria and her first husband, or Maria and her second husband?" The priest says, "I mean her legs."

The first little girl says: "My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman."

The next little boy says: "I'm Andy and my Dad is a mechanic."

Then one little boy says: "My name is Jimmy and my father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men."

The teacher gasps and quickly changes the subject, but later in the school yard the teacher approaches Jimmy privately and asks if it's really true that his Dad dances nude in a gay bar.

He blushes and says, "I'm sorry but my dad is really an auditor for Arthur Andersen and I was just too embarrassed to say so."

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class so many years ago. Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too old to have been my classmate.

After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local high school.

"Yes," he replied.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "In 1960."

"Why, you were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely and then asked, "What did you teach?

When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea. No sooner were the papers delivered when a good friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea.

Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big s*** he always was."

From Mike in Olympia, WA

A man asked his wife, "If you could have anything in the world for one day, what would you want?" "I'd love to be six again," she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they went to a local theme park.

What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear, everything there was! Wow! Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.

Off to McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie: the latest Hollywood blockbuster, hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi Cola and M & M's. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed.

He leaned over and lovingly asked, "Well dear, what was it like being six again?"

With one eye barely opened she said, "I meant my dress size, you asshole."

I left Montreal heading toward Quebec City, when I decided to stop at a comfort station. The first stall was occupied, so I went into the second one. I was no sooner seated than I heard a voice from the next stall: "Hi, how are you doing?"

Well, I am not the type to chat with strangers in highway comfort stations, and I really don't know quite what possessed me, but anyway, I answered, a little embarrassed: "Not bad."

And the stranger said: "And, what are you up to?" Talk about your dumb questions! I was really beginning to think this was too weird! So I said: "Well, just like you I'm driving east."

Then, I heard the stranger, all upset, say, "Look, I'll call you back, there's some idiot in the next stall answering all the questions I am asking you."

From JD:

An elderly Irishman lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed.

Leaning against the wall, he slowly made is way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.

Was the elderly Irishman in Heaven? Or, was it one final act of heroic love from his Irish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.

The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife ....

"Back off," she said, "they're for the funeral."

From Phil:

A truck driver hauling a tractor trailer filled with computer, stops for a beer. As he approaches the bar, he sees a big sign on the door reading, "Nerds Not Allowed -- Enter at Your Own Risk."

He enters the bar and sits down. The bartender comes over to him, sniffs him, says that he smells kind of nerdy, and asks him what he does for a living. The truck driver says that he drives a truck, and the smell is just from the computers he is hauling. The bartenders says okay, truck drivers are not nerds, and serves him a beer.

As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in with tape around his glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens and pencils, and a belt at least a foot too long. The bartender, without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and blows the guy away.

The truck driver asks him why he did that. The bartender said not to worry, the nerds are overpopulating the Silicon Valley, and now they are in season.

"You don't even need a license," he said.

So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and heads back onto the freeway. Suddenly, he veers to avoid an accident, and the load shifts. The back door breaks open and computers spill out all over the freeway. He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, grabbing up the computers. They are all engineers, accountants, and programmers wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen. He can't let them steal his whole load. Remembering what had happened in the bar, he pulls out his gun and starts blasting away, felling several of them instantly.

A highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of the car screaming at him to stop.

The truck driver says, "What's wrong? I thought nerds were in season."

"Well, sure," says the patrolman, "but you can't bait 'em."

From Nancy:

A couple, both 78 years old, went to a sex therapist's office. The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?" The man asks, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?"

The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse," and charged them $50.00.

This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave. Finally the doctor asked, " Just exactly what are you trying to find out?"

The old man said, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married and we can't go to her house. I am married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90, the Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50, and Medicare pays $43."

In a crowded city at a bus stop, a beautiful young woman who was waiting for a bus was wearing a tight mini skirt. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus. She reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg.

Again, she tried to make the step only to discover she still couldn't. So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second time attempted the step, and, once again, much to her chagrin, she could not raise her leg.

With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to make the step.

About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus. She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and yelled, "How dare you touch my body, I don't even know who you are !"

The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends."

"A female horth."

So he shows him a prized filly.

"Nith lookin horth. Can I thee her eyeth"?

The rancher is getting pretty upset by this point, but he picks him up again and shows him the horse's mouth.

"Nice mouf, can I see her twat"?

Totally upset at this point, the rancher grabs him under his arm and jams the dwarf's head as far as he can up the horse's you-know-what, pulls him out and slams him on the ground.

The dwarf gets up, sputtering and coughing.

Her Side of the Story:

He was in an odd mood Sunday night. We planned to meet at a bar for a drink. I spent the afternoon shopping with the girls and I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit later than I promised, but he didn't say anything much about it. The conversation was very slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure.

So anyway, in the car on the way back home, I said that I loved him deeply and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he didn't say it back or anything. We finally got back home and I was wondering if he was going to leave me! So I tried to get him to talk but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to bed.

Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and to my surprise, we made love. But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to confront him but I just cried myself to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I really think he's seeing someone else.

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