A minister was completing a temperance sermon.

With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in

the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

With even greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had

All the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into
the river.'

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he

Said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world,
I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and

announced
With a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song,
Let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the
River.'
R.I.P.
When I was a young minister, a funeral director
asked me to hold a grave side service for a homeless
man with no family or friends. The funeral was to be
at a cemetery way out in the country. This was a new
cemetery and this man was the first to be laid to rest
there.

I was not familiar with the area and became lost.

Being a typical man, of course, I did not ask for
directions. I finally found the cemetery about an hour
late. The back hoe was there and the crew was
eating their lunch. The hearse was nowhere to be
seen.
I apologized to the workers for being late. As I looked
into the open grave, I saw the vault lid already in
place. I told the workers I would not keep them long,
but that this was the proper thing to do. The workers,
still eating their lunch, gathered around the opening.

I was young and enthusiastic and poured out my

heart and soul as I preached. The workers joined in
with, "Praise the Lord," "Amen," and "Glory!" I got so
into the service that I preached and preached and
preached, from Genesis to The Revelation.

When the service was over, I said a prayer and

walked to my car. As I opened the door, I heard one
of the workers say, "I never saw anything like that
before and I've been putting in septic systems for
twenty years."
Driving Test
A professional juggler, driving to his next
performance, is stopped by the police.

"What are you doing with these matches and lighter

fluid in your car?" asks the police officer.

"I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."

"Oh yeah? Let's see you do it," says the officer.

So the juggler gets out and starts juggling the

blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow,"
says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking.
Look at the test they're giving now!"
Balance
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. Balance in all things,"

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 area and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God "That's Washington State, the most
glorious place on earth. There are beautiful
mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills,
plains, and coulees. The people from Washington
State 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, 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 smiled, "There is another Washington...wait until

you see the idiots I put there."

Perspective
An artist, a lawyer, and a computer scientist are
discussing the merits of a mistress.

The artist tells of the passion, the thrill which comes

with the risk of being discovered.

The lawyer warns of the difficulties. It can lead to

guilt, divorce, bankruptcy. Not worth it. Too many
problems.

The computer scientist says "It's the best thing that's

ever happened to me. My wife thinks I'm with my
mistress. My mistress thinks I'm home with my wife,
and I can spend all night on the computer!"
Turtle
Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a
tree. After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped
into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the
ground.

After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again,

jumped, and fell to the ground. The turtle tried again
and again while a couple of birds sitting on a branch
watched his sad efforts.

Finally, the female bird turned to her mate. "Dear,"

she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's
adopted."
Mean Old Woman
An old man and woman were married for years, even
though they hated each other. When they had a
confrontation, screaming and yelling could be heard
deep into the night.

The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my

way up and out of the grave and come back and
haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Neighbors feared him because of the many strange

occurrences that took place in their neighborhood.

The old man liked the fact he was feared. To

everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he
was 68.
His wife had a closed casket at the wake. After the
burial, she went straight home and began to party as
if there was no tomorrow.

Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked,

"Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig
his way up and out of the grave and come back and
haunt you for the rest of your life?"

The wife put down her drink and said, "Let the old
man dig. I had him buried upside down."
Murphey's Laws Of Computing
1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as
though you meant it to happen.

2. When you get to the point where you really

understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.

3. The first place to look for information is in the

section of the manual where you least expect to find
it.

4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.

5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite

malfunction.

6. To err is human . . . to blame your computer for

your mistakes is even more human, it is downright
natural.

7. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

8. If at first you do not succeed, blame your
computer.

9. A complex system that does not work is invariably

found to have evolved from a simpler system that
worked perfectly.

10. The number one cause of computer problems is

computer solutions.
Computer Airliner
At a recent software engineering management
course in the US, the participants were given an
awkward question to answer. "If you had just boarded
an airliner and discovered that your team of
programmers had been responsible for the flight
control software how many of you would disembark
immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands, only one

man sat motionless. When asked what he would do,
he replied that he would be quite content to stay
onboard.

With his team's software, he said, the plane was

unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let alone
take off.
Sherlock
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping
trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay
down for the night, and went to sleep. Some hours
later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend
awake. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what
you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" Holmes questioned.

Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it

tells me that there are millions of galaxies and
potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I
observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce
that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and
that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically,
I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson,

you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent."
Crisis
There can't be another crisis this week, my schedule
is completely full.
Bad Accident
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident.

It's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally

demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.

After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says,

"So you're a man,that's interesting. I'm a woman.
Wow, just look at our cars! There nothing left but
fortunately we are unhurt.
"This must be a sign from God that we should meet
and be friends and live together in peace for the rest
of our days."

The man replied," I agree with you completely. This

must be a sign from God!"

The woman continued, "And look at this, here's

another miracle. My car is completely demolished,
but this bottle of wine didn't break! Sure God wants
us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."

The she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods
his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the
bottle, and then hands it back to the woman.

The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the

cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

The man asks "Aren't you having any?"

The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the
police."
Bear Chase
Two guys are out in the woods hiking.

All of a sudden, a bear starts chasing them. They

climb a tree, but the bear starts climbing up the tree
after them.

The first guy gets his sneakers out of his knapsack

and starts putting them on.

The second guy says, "What are you doing?"

The first guy says, "I figure when the bear gets too
close, we'll have to jump down and make a run for
it."

The second guy says, "Are you crazy? You can't

outrun a bear"!

The first guy says, "I don't have to outrun the bear. I
only have to outrun you."
New Evidence
The day after a verdict had been entered against his
client, the lawyer rushed to the judge's chambers,
demanding that the case to be reopened, the lawyer
argued: "I have new evidence that makes a huge
difference in my client's defense."

Judge: "What new evidence could you have?"

Lawyer: "My client has an extra $10,000 and I just

found out about it!"
Program Managers
A lead hardware engineer, a lead software engineer,
and their program manager are taking a walk
outdoors during their lunch break when they come
upon an old brass lamp. They pick it up and dust it
off. Poof -- out pops a genie.

"Thank you for releasing me from my lamp-prison. I

can grant you 3 wishes. Since there are 3 of you I will
grant one wish to each of you."

The hardware engineer thinks a moment and says,

"I'd like to be sailing a yacht across the Pacific, racing
before the wind, with an all-girl crew."

"It is done", said the Genie, and poof, the hardware

engineer disappears.

The software engineer thinks a moment and says,

"I'd like to be riding my Harley with a gang of
beautiful women throughout the American
Southwest."

"It is done", said the Genie, and poof, the software

engineer disappears.

The program manager looks at where the other two

had been standing and rubs his chin in thought. Then
he tells the Genie, "I'd like those two back in the
office after lunch."
Jealousy
The guy approached a beautiful looking woman in a
mall and asked, "You know, I've lost my wife here in
the mall. Can you talk to me for a couple of
minutes?"

"Why?" she asks.

"Because every time I talk to a beautiful woman, my

wife appears out of nowhere."
Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at
home and were giving each other the silent
treatment.

Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he

would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an
early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and

LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake
me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would
find it.

The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover

it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight.

Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife

hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of
paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM,
Wake up."
Young Businessman
A young businessman had just started his own
business. He'd rented a beautiful office and had it
brilliantly decorated. Sitting there, he saw a man
come into the outer office.

Wishing to appear busy, the young businessman

picked up the phone and started to pretend he was
working a big deal. He was shouting huge figures and
made giant commitments.

Finally, he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help

you?" The man said, "Sure. I'm here to install the
phone!"
Isn't It True?
At the height of a political corruption trial, the
prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it
true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand
dollars to compromise this case?"

The witness stared out the window as though he

hadn't heard the question.

"Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand dollars

to compromise this case?" the lawyer repeated. The
witness still did not respond.

Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please

answer the question." "Oh," the startled witness said,
"I thought he was talking to you."
$100 Prayer
A little boy wanted $100 so badly that he prayed for
two weeks. But nothing happened; so he decided to
write God a letter asking for the money.

When the postal authorities received the letter

addressed to "GOD, USA", they decided to send it to
the President. He was so impressed, touched, and
amused that he instructed his secretary to send the
boy a $5 bill.

The little boy was delighted with the $5, and sat
down to write a thank you note to God, which read;
"Dear God, Thank you very much for sending me the
money.

"However, I noticed that for some reason you had it

sent through Washington, DC, and as usual, those
guys deducted $95."
Speeding
A policeman was sitting on the hard shoulder
watching the traffic go by when a car zoomed past
him doing at least 120 mph!

The policeman chased him down, and pulled the car

over. He went up to the car and asked, "Do you know
that you were doing at least 50 mph over the speed
limit?"

The driver replied, "Was I officer, I'm terribly sorry

but I wasn't aware of that."

The policeman said, "May I see your drivers license

please?"

The man replied, "I don't have one officer."

"Of course you do," said the policeman.

"No sir, I don't," said the man.

"So why do you have this car?" asked the policeman.

"This is not my car, I stole it," said the man.

"You are driving a stolen car?" said the policeman.

"Yes I'm afraid so sir,"

Looking puzzled the policeman said, "Let me see the

registration, so we can find out who it belongs to."

The man said, "There is nothing in the glove

compartment except some candy, oh, and my gun."

"Your gun!" exclaimed the officer, clearly worried by

this point, as this man was obviously a lunatic.

"So you don't have a drivers license, you stole this

car, and there is a gun in the glove compartment!"

"Yes sir," said the man, "Oh and a body in the trunk."

"WHAT!!" said the policeman turning white, "Ok so

you have no drivers license, you have stolen this car,
there is a gun in the glove compartment, and a body
in the trunk?"

"Yes," said the man, sounding slightly irritated.

"Look," said the policeman, "You wait right here and

don't touch anything! Don't move, don't even
breathe."

So the policeman ran to his car and radioed the

station, "I want to speak to the chief," said the
policeman, "And quick!"

He waited about a minute and the chief came on the

line, "What is it," he said.
"I've got a man here, he is a complete lunatic he has
very calmly stated that he is driving a stolen car, he
has no drivers license, there is a gun in the glove
compartment, and a body in the trunk," said the
policeman.

"I'll be right there," said the chief.

In ten minutes the man and the car were surrounded.

There was the chief of police, a swat team,
everybody you could imagine.

The chief walks slowly to the car in his bulletproof

vest and says to the driver, "Hello sir, may I see your
drivers license?"

"Of course," said the man, and produced it from his

back pocket.

Looking puzzled, the chief asked, "Is this your car?"

"Yes," said the man.

"Can I see your registration please sir?" asked the

chief.

The man leaned over to open the glove

compartment.

"Please don't open it sir!" said the chief.

"Why?" asked the man, "I thought you wanted my

registration."
"I do," said the chief, "But there is a gun in there."

"Don't be silly," said the man, and he opened the

glove compartment, empty apart from some candy.

"Let me get this right," said the chief, "You have a

drivers license, this is your car and there is no gun in
the glove compartment."

"Yes," said the man,

"And there is no body in the trunk, I suppose," said

the chief.

"BODY!" exclaimed the man, "Why on earth would I

have a body in my trunk?"

"Sir I apologize for this, but my officer told me that

you had no drivers license, you had stolen this car,
you were in possession of a gun, and a body in the
trunk."

"The lying fool," said the man, "I'll bet he said I was
speeding, too!"
Tax Season
Tax day -- April 15 -- was looming when an elderly
woman showed up at the IRS. She said she required
a thick stack of tax forms. "Why so many?" the clerk
asked.

"My son is stationed overseas," she said. "He asked

me to pick up forms for the Marines on the base."
"You shouldn't have to do this," the clerk told her.
"It's the base commander's job to make sure that his
troops have access to the forms they need."

"I know," said the woman. "I'm the base

commander's mother."

America's Unique
- Only in America... do we leave cars worth
thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our
useless junk in the garage.
- Only in America... do we use answering machines to
screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't
miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in
the first place.

- Only in America... do we buy hot dogs in packages

of ten and buns in packages of eight.

- Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to

describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning
'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

- Only in America... do they have drive-up ATM

machines with Braille lettering.
Ice Fishing
An old man walked out onto a frozen lake on a bitter
cold winter day. He drilled a hole in the ice, sat on his
bucket, put his fishing line in the water and eagerly
waited for a fish to bite.

He was there for almost five hours without even a

nibble when a young boy walked out, drilled a hole in
the ice and sat on his bucket not far from the old
man. It only took about one minute and BAM! A huge
walleye bit his hook and the boy pulled in the fish.

The old man couldn't believe it and figured it was just

luck. Yet, the boy put his fish line in again and within
just two minutes he pulled in another huge walleye!

This went on and on until finally the old man couldn't

stand it any more. He hadn't caught a fish all day. He
went to the boy and said, "Boy, I've been here nearly
all day without even a nibble. You have been here
only a few minutes and have caught TEN huge fish!
How do you do it?"

The boy said, "Oo af o rep ra rums rm."

"What," asked the old man?

Again the boy said, "Oo af o rep ra rums rm.”

Freezing and impatient the old man yelled "Look, I

can't understand a word you are saying."

So, the boy took off his gloves, spit a clump of stuff
into his hands and said, "You have to keep the worms
warm!!"
The Smartest
Three men were walking through a park when they
suddenly came upon a river. "I wonder how we are
going to cross this river?" said one man.

Then a genie appeared before them and said,"I will

grant you each one wish so you can cross the river."

The first man said,"I want some strong muscles!"

Poof! he had strong muscles! He began to swim
across the river but nearly drowned half way.

The second man, seeing this mistake wished for

strong muscles AND wood. He built himself a raft. He
too attempted to cross the river but half way
through, his raft sank and he had to swim the rest of
the way.

The third man, seeing these two mistakes thought for

a while. "Hmmm...Aha! I wish to be a woman!" Poof!
He had turned into a woman!

The woman pulled out a map, located the nearest

bridge on it, and hiked about 5 feet to it and crossed
it.
Learning to Talk
There was a man who couldn't talk and he wanted to
learn how.

So he went to an oprera and heard the singer go

"Meeeeeeeeeeemeeeeeemeeeeeeee."

Next he went to a pottery store and heard a

salesman going "Forks and knives, forks and knives."

Next, in the street he heard a kid go "He stole my

lollipop!"

He walked around all day learning these phrases.

While he was practicing he accidently walked on a
murder scene and practically tripped over the dead
guy in the street. Before he knows it, he's talking to a
policeman who asks "Who killed this man?"

"Meeeeemeeeeemeeeeee"

"Well, how did you kill him?"

"Forks and knives, forks and Knives"

"But why did you kill him?"

"He stole my lollipop!"

"Okay, you're coming with me mister!"

Separate Rooms
The Anderson family just moved into their new home
when a neighbor asked 5-year-old Tommy Anderson
how he liked it.
“It’s great,” Tommy said. “I have my very own room
and my brother Alex has his own room, and Jamie
has her own room too! But poor mom, she is still with
dad…”
Stupid
A substitute teacher was trying to make use of her
psychology background. She began her class by
saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, please
stand up."

Right away, Little Johnny stood up.

The teacher said, "Why do you think you're stupid,

Little Johnny?"

"I don’t, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there

all by yourself!"
Toothbrush Sales
The kids filed back into class Monday morning.

They were very excited. Their weekend assignment

was to sell something, then share with the class how
they were successful.

Little Mary led off, "I sold girl scout cookies and I
made $30," she said proudly, "my sales approach
was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I
credit that approach for my success."

"Very good," said the teacher.

Little Sally was next, "I sold magazines," she said, "I
made $45 and I explained to everyone that
magazines would keep them abreast of current
events."

"Very good, Sally," said the teacher.

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher

held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of
the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the
teacher's desk. "$2,467" he said.

"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were

you selling?"

"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

"Toothbrushes?" echoed the teacher, "How could you

possibly sell enough toothbrushes to make that much
money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little

Johnny, "I set up a chocolate chip cookie stand and
gave everybody who walked by a free sample.

They all said, “This tastes like MUD!" Then I replied,

“It is. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

Lying Politician
A politician was running for re-election and was
talking at a campaign stop to his constituents.

"My opponent has called me a liar. Rest assured, I

have never lied to you. The only problem I have is
that the facts don't always match up with what I
believe."
Busload of Politicians
A busload of politicians were driving down a country
road when all of a sudden, the bus ran off the road
and crashed into a tree in an old farmer's field.

The old farmer, after seeing what had happened,

went over to investigate.

He then proceeded to dig a hole to bury the

politicians.

A few days later the local sheriff came out, saw the
crashed bus, and asked the old farmer where all the
politicians had gone.

The old farmer said he had buried them.

The sheriff asked the old farmer, "Were they all

dead?"

The old farmer replied, "Well, some of them said they

weren't, but I didn’t believe them."
Total Control
A guy named Bob is travelling by Amtrak with two
strangers sitting close to him.

He is trying to sleep, but those guys were speaking

loudly for a very long time heavily criticizing the
president, the war, corruption, unemployment, etc.

So Bob, in an attempt to force the guys to stop

talking and let him sleep, tells them as a joke, that
there is a new total control system developed by the
FBI that spies upon all citizens, and there are lots of
listening devices everywhere, so that anyone
criticizing the government would be severely
punished.

This didn’t have any effect on those guys, moreover

they just laughed at Bob, and carried on and on,
saying even more rude jokes about George Bush and
the government.

Finally, close to 3:00 am, Bob goes to the restroom,

and runs into the train conductor.
Bob asks the conductor to bring him some water and
sleeping pills at exactly 3:00 a.m.

He goes back to his place and says loudly into the

base of his seat, so that talkative guys could hear
him:

"If the FBI director can hear me: could you please
bring me a glass of water and some sleeping pills at
3:00 a.m., because there are some idiots here who
are speaking too loudly about some political issues
and won’t let me sleep."

The guys continue talking.

Exactly at 3:00 am, the door opens and the

conductor comes out, and gives Bob the water and
some sleeping pills.

The guys are shocked and finally stop talking. Bob is

happy and manages to fall asleep...

When he wakes in the morning, the talkative guys

are no where to be found.

Out of curiosity he asks the conductor about them,

(also remembering that there shouldn’t have been
any stops at night).

The conductor replies that some people in black suits

stopped the train and arrested those guys.

Bob is completely shocked and surprised and asks

about why he was not arrested.
The conductor answers that he doesn’t have a clue
but one of the guys in black suits said that the
director of the FBI liked Bob’s joke about the water
and pills.
Wisdom of Age
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?"
The One Sunday
It was Palm Sunday, and the family's 6-year old son
had to stay home from church because of strep
throat. When the rest of the family returned home
carrying palm branches, the little boy asked what
they were for.

His mother explained, "People held them over Jesus'

head as he walked by."

"Wouldn't you know it," the boy fumed. "The one

Sunday I don't go to church, and Jesus shows up!"
Using the FBI
The phone rings at FBI headquarters. "Hello?"

"I'm calling to report my neighbor. He is hiding

marijuana inside his firewood."

"Thank you very much for the call sir," replied the
dispatcher.

The next day, FBI agents sneak up on the neighbor's

house. They search the shed where the firewood is
kept.

Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but

find no marijuana. They yell at the neighbor and
leave.

The phone rings at the neighbor's house.

"Hey, Bill, did the FBI come?"

"Sure Did!"

"Did they chop your firewood?!"

"Yep!"

"Great, now it's your turn to call. I need my garden

plowed!!"
School Visit
After delivering a speech at an elementary school,
the president lets the kids ask a few questions. One
little boy, Joe raises his hand and asks, “How come
you invaded Iraq without the support of the United
Nations?”

Just as the president begins to answer, the recess

bell rings and he says they’ll continue afterward. 25
minutes later the kids come back to class.

“Where were we?” says the president. “Oh, yes... do

you kids have any questions?”

Another boy raises his hand and says, “I have three

questions: First, why did you invade Iraq without
support from the U.N.? Second, why did the recess
bell go off 30 minutes early? And third, where is my
buddy Joe?”
Did You Ever Wonder?
- Can you cry under water?
- How important does a person have to be before
they are considered assassinated instead of just
murdered?

- If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks

have branches?

- Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat

round?

- Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's

only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra
penny going to?

- Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing

the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

- Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

- What did cured ham actually have?

- How is it that we put man on the moon before we

figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on
luggage?
Red Wagon
It was the day after Christmas at a church in San
Francisco. Pastor Mike was looking at the nativity
scene outside when he noticed the baby Jesus was
missing from the figures.

Immediately, Pastor Mike turned towards the church

to call the police. But as he was about to do so, he
saw little Jimmy with a red wagon, and in the wagon
was the figure of the little infant, Jesus.

Pastor Mike walked up to Jimmy and said, "Well,

Jimmy, where did you get the little infant?"Jimmy
replied, "I got him from the church."

"And why did you take him?"

With a sheepish smile, Jimmy said, "Well, about a

week before Christmas I prayed to little Lord Jesus. I
told him if he would bring me a red wagon for
Christmas, I would give him a ride around the block
in it."

Masterpiece
One day a girl came home crying to her mom. The
mom asked what was wrong.

The girl responded, "I'm not a creation, God made

men first! I'm nothing!"

Then the mom said, "Oh baby that's not true, God
may have made men first ,but there's always a rough
draft before the masterpiece."
The End is Near
A priest and pastor from the local parishes are
standing by the side of the road holding up a sign
that reads, "The End is Near! Turn yourself around
now before it's too late!"

They planned to hold up the sign to each passing car.

"Leave us alone you religious nuts!" yelled the first

driver as he sped by.

From around the curve they heard screeching tires

and a big splash. "Do you think," said one clergy to
the other, "we should just put up a sign that says
'Bridge Out' instead?"
Stork Education
Coming through the door after school one day, Little
Johnny hollers out...
"Okay everyone in the house, please stand advised
that I, Little Johnny Elvis Smith, have on this date
made a complete fool of myself in sex-education
class by repeating stories concerning storks as told
to me by certain parties residing in this house!"
Three Arkansas surgeons
Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together
and discussing the surgeries they had performed.
One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Arkansas.
In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven
fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8
months later he performed a private concert for the
Queen of England." The second surgeon said. "That's
nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in
an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he
won a gold Medal in track and field events in the
Olympics." The third surgeon said, "You guys are
amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on
cocaine and she rode a horse head-on into a train
traveling at 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work
with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's
ass. I was able to put them together and now she's
running for President

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose
bedroom looks like Mission Control , to come over. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and
solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?'

He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that
.... In case I need to fix it again?'

Eric grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'

'No,' I replied.

'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

I used to like Eric.............

Superbowl

A man has 50-yard-line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, another man comes
down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.

'No', he said, 'the seat is empty'.

'This is incredible', said the man. 'Who in his right mind would have a seat like this for
the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it ?'

Somberly, the man says, 'Well... the seat actually belongs to me. My wife was supposed
to come here with me, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we have not been
to together since we got married in 1967.'

'Oh I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else - a friend or
relative, or even a neighbor - to take the seat?'

The man shakes his head, 'No. They're all at the funeral.'

The UPS Man

One Monday morning the UPS man is driving the neighborhood on his usual route.
As he approaches one of the homes, he noticed that both cars were still in the
driveway. His wonder was cut short by Bob, the homeowner, coming out with a load
of empty beer and liquor bottles.

'Wow Bob, looks like you guys had one hell of a party last night,' the UPS man
comments.

Bob, in obvious pain, replies 'Actually we had it Saturday night. This is the
first I have felt like moving since 4 oclock Sunday morning. We had about
fifteen couples from around the neighborhood over for some weekend fun and it
got a bit wild. Hell, we all got so drunk around midnight that we started
playing 'WHO AM I?'

The UPS man thinks a moment and says, 'How do you play WHO AM I?'

'Well, all the guys go in the bedroom and we come out one at a time with a
sheet covering us, with only our 'privates' showing through a hole in the
sheet. Then the women try to guess who it is.'

The UPS man laughs and says, 'Damn, I'm sorry I missed that.'

'Probably a good thing you did,' Bob responded. 'Your name came up seven
times.'

While walking down the street one day, a U.S. senator

is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in Heaven and is

met by St. Peter at the entrance.

'Welcome to Heaven,' says St. Peter.

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

'No problem, just let me in.'

'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 senator.

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

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the

elevator and he goes down.

The doors open and he finds himself in

the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing
in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with
him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake
his hand and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the
expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then

dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is
a very friendly guy. He has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are
having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone
gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

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

'Now it's time to visit Heaven.'

So, 24
hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud
to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and before he
realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

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

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers.

'Well, I would never have said it before. I mean Heaven has been
delightful, but I think I would be better off in Hell.'

So, St. Peter

escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell.
The
doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with
waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the
trash and putting it in black bags, as more trash falls from above. The devil
comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.

'I don't
understand,' stammers t he senator. 'Yesterday, I was here and there was a golf
course and a clubhouse and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, danced
and had a great time. Now, it's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends
look miserable. What happened'?

The devil looks at him, smiles and says,

'Yesterday, we were campaigning. Today, you
voted.'

DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT

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!"

I urgently needed a few days off
work, But, I knew the Boss would not allow me
to take leave.

I thought that maybe if I acted "Crazy"

Then he would tell me to take a few days off.

So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and

made funny noises.

My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I

was doing.
I told her that I was pretending to be a light
bulb, So, that the Boss
might think I was "Crazy" and give me a few
days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the

office and asked, "What
in the name of good GOD are you doing?"

I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, "You are clearly stressed out."

Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."

I jumped down and walked out of the office...

When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me,
the Boss asked her,
"..And where do you think you're
going?!"

(You're gonna love this....)

She said, "I'm going home too. I can't

work in the dark.
They
heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow
today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street,
so the snowplows can get through." So the good wife went out and moved
her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the

radio announcer said "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow
today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so
the snowplows can get through." The good wife went out and moved her car
again.

The next week they are again having breakfast, when the
radio announcer says "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow
today. You must park.... Then the electric power went out. The good wife
was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I
don't know what to do. Which side of
the street do I need to park on
so the snowplows can get through?"
With the love and understanding
in his voice that all men who are married to Blondes exhibit, the
husband replied, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this
time."

">"THREE WOMEN IN
MEXICO"

face="Times New Roman">

face="Times New Roman">Three women go down to

w:st="on">
w:st="on">Mexico one night to celebrate
college graduation.
They get very drunk, and wake up in jail, only
to find that they are to be
executed in the morning, though none of
them can remember what they did
the night before.

The first
one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair and is asked
if
she has any last words.

She says, "I just graduated from

Trinity
Bible
w:st="on">College and believe in the

Almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent."

They
throw the switch and nothing happens.

They all
immediately fall to the floor on their knees, beg for forgiveness,

face="Times New Roman">and release her.

The second one, a

brunette, is strapped in and gives her last words.

"I just
graduated from the Harvard School of Law and I believe in the
Power
of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." They throw
the
switch and again, nothing happens.

Again they all immediately

fall to their knees , beg for forgiveness and
release
her.

The last one (you knew it), a blonde, is strapped in and

says, "Well, I'm
from the University of Tennessee and just graduated
with a degree in
Electrical Engineering, and I'll tell ya right now,
y'all ain't gonna
electrocute nobody if you don't plug this thing
in."

Ralph and Edna were both

patients in a mental hospital. One day while

they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph 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

him out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she

immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now

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 the person you love. I have

concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is Ralph
hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you

saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

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

can I go home?"

Happy Mental Health day!

You can do your bit by remembering to send an email to an unstable

friend.
Working people frequently ask retired people
what they do to make their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went

into town and went into a shop.

We were only in there for about 5 minutes.

When we came out, there was a cop writing out a

parking ticket.

We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about

giving a senior citizen a break?"

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started

writing another ticket for having worn tyres.

So my wife called him a shithead. He finished the

second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing a third ticket.

This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we

abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus.

We try to have a little fun each day now that

we're retired.

It's important at our age.

Nine Months Later......"
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So
they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north.
After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a
terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm
and asked the attractive lady who answered the
door if they could spend the night.

"Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep
in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be

The lady agreed, and the two men found their way
to the barn and settled in for the night. Come
morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on
their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of
skiing.<SPAN

NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

A Preacher was
explaining that he must move on to a larger congregation that will pay him
more. There is a hush within the congregation,...no one wanted him to leave.

Joe Smith, who owns several car dealerships in the City stands up and
proclaims, .... "If the Preacher stays, I will provide him with a new
Cadillac every year, and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their
children!" The congregation sighs in relief, and applauds.

Sam Brown, a successful entrepreneur and investor, stands and says, "If
the Preacher will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary, and also
establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of all his
children!" More sighs and loud applause.

Sadie Jones, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the Preacher
stays, .... I will give him sex!" There is total silence. The Preacher,
blushing, asks her, "Mrs. Jones, whatever possessed you to say
that?" Sadie's 90 year old husband Jake is now trying to hide, holding
his forehead with the palm of his hand, and shaking his head from side to
side, while his wife replies, "Well, I just asked my husband how we
could help, and he said, "Screw the Preacher!"

A thief in Paris planned

to steal some paintings from the Louvre.

After careful
planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it

However, he was

error, he replied,

The Flight Crew

The airliner pushed back from the gate;

the flight attendant gave the passengers the usual
information regarding seat belts, etc .

Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip
while your captain, Suzan Malligan,
and crew take you safely to your destination.'

Ed, sitting in the eighth row, thought to himself,

'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?'
When the attendant came by with the drink cart
he said, 'Did I understand you right?
Is the captain a woman?'

'Yes,' said the attendant,

'In fact, this entire crew is female.'

'My Goodness' said Ed,

'I'd better have two scotch and sodas.
I don't know what to think
with only women up there in the cockpit.'

'That's another thing sir,' said the attendant,

'We No Longer Call It The Cock Pit.'
'It's The Box Office.'

'Yes,' said the attendant,

'In fact, this entire crew is female.'

'My Goodness' said Ed,

'I'd better have two scotch and sodas.
I don't know what to think
with only women up there in the cockpit.'

'That's another thing sir,' said the attendant,

'We No Longer Call It The Cock Pit.'

'It's The Box Office.'

Two little kids are in a hospital,
lying on stretchers next to each other

outside the operating room---the first

surgeries of the day.

The first kid leans over and asks,

'What are you in here for?'

The second kid says, 'I'm in here

to get my tonsils out and I'm a little

nervous.'
The first kid says, 'You've got
nothing to worry about. I had that done when

I was four. They put you to sleep, and

when you wake up they give you lots

of Jell-O and Ice Cream It's a

breeze.'

The second kid then asks, 'What

are you here for?'

The first kid says, 'A

circumcision.'

Whoa!' the second kid replies.

'Good luck buddy. I had that done when I was

born. Couldn't walk for a year.'

GOTTA LOVE THIS NURSE!

A highway patrolman was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed

appendix.

The doctors operated and advised him that all was well.

However, the patrolman kept feeling something pulling at the hairs in

his crotch. Worried that it might be a second surgery the
doctors hadn't told him about, he finally got enough energy to pull
his hospital gown up enough so he could look at what was making him
so uncomfortable
Taped firmly across his pubic hair were three wide strips of

adhesive tape, the kind that takes everything with it when you pull it
off.

Written in large black letters across the tape was the sentence:

' Get well quick.....from the nurse you gave a ticket to last week!

children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

born.

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mum just the same like he made
me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair
and everything nice in the world and one dab of
mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones.
Then they mostly use string, I think.

that other stuff

guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did Mum need to know about Dad before

she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a
crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say
NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your Mum marry your Dad?

1. My Dad makes the best spaghetti in the world.
And my Mum eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My Grandma says that Mum didn't have her
thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?

1. Mum doesn't want to be boss, but she has to
because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mum. You can tell by room inspection. She sees
the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mum is, but only because she has a lot
more to do than Dad.

What's the difference between Mums & Dads?

1. Mums work at work and work at home and Dads
just go to work at work.
2. Mums know how to talk to teachers without
scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but Mums have all
the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if
you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Mums have magic, they make you feel better
without medicine.

What does your Mum do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your Mum perfect?

1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I
think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your Mum,

what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my
room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my Mum smarter. Then she would know
it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible
eyes on the back of her head.

A WOMAN'S WEEK
AT THE GYM

If you read this without laughing out loud,

there is something wrong with you. This is dedicated
to everyone who ever
attempted to get into a regular workout routine.
Dear Diary,

For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear)

purchased a week of personal
training at the local health club for me.

Although I am still in great shape since being a high school

football
cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea
to go ahead and
give it a try.

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal

trainer named
Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics
instructor and model
for athletic clothing and swim wear.

My daughter seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get

started! The club
encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

MONDAY:

Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but

found it was well
worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda
waiting for me. She
is something of a Greek goddess -- with blonde hair,
dancing eyes and a
dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Belinda gave me a tour
and showed me the
machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she
conducted her
aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Belinda was encouraging
as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching
from holding it in the
whole time she was around. This is going to be a
FANTASTIC week!

TUESDAY:

I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the

door.
Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar
into the air then she
put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the
treadmill, but I made
the full mile. Belinda's rewarding smile made it all
worthwhile. I feel GREAT!
It's a whole new life for me.

WEDNESDAY:

The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the

toothbrush on the counter
and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I
have a hernia in both
pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or
stop. I parked on
top of a GEO in the club parking lot.

Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams

bothered other club
members. Her voice is a little too perky for early in the
morning and when she
scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
My chest hurt when I
got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the stair monster.
Why the Hell
would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity
rendered obsolete by
elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape
and enjoy life. She
said some other shit too.

THURSDAY:

Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth

exposed as her thin,
cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help
being a half an hour late; it took me that long to tie my
shoes.

Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she

was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. She sent
another skinny bitch to find me

Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine --

which I sank.
FRIDAY:

I hate that bitch Belinda more than any human being has
ever hated any other
human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny,
anemic, anorexic
little cheerleader. If there was a part of my body I could
move without
unbearable pain, I would beat her with it.

Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any

triceps! And if you
don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damned
barbells or anything
that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me
off and I landed on a
health and nutrition teacher.

Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama

coach or the choir
director?

SATURDAY:

Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her

grating, shrilly voice
wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her
made me want to smash
the machine with my planner. However, I lacked the
strength to even use the TV
remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the
Weather Channel.

SUNDAY:

I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so

I can go and thank
GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year
my daughter (the
little shit) will choose a gift for me that is fun -- like a root
canal or a
hysterectomy.
I still say if God had wanted me to bend
over, he would have sprinkled the
floor with diamonds!!!

On the first day, God created the dog and
said:

'Sit all day by the door of your house and

bark at anyone who comes in or
walks past. For this, I will give you a life
span of twenty years.'

The dog said: 'That's a long time to be

barking. How about only ten years and
I'll give you back the other ten?'

So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the
monkey and said:
'Entertain people, do tricks, and make
them laugh. For this, I'll give
you a twenty-year life span.'

The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for

twenty y years? That's a pretty long time
to perform. How about I give you back ten
like the Dog did?'

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and

said:

'You must go into the field with the

farmer all day long and suffer under
the sun, have calves and give milk to
support the farmer's family. For this, I
will give you a life span of sixty years.'

The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life

you want me to live for sixty years.
How about twenty and I'll give back the
other forty?'

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and

said:
'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your
life. For this, I'll give you
twenty years.'

But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could

you possibly give me my twenty, the
forty the cow gave back, the ten the
monkey gave back, and the ten

the dog gave back; that makes eighty,

okay?'

'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'

So that is why for our first twenty years

we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we
slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years we do monkey
tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And
for the last ten years we sit on the front
porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

There is no need to thank me for this

valuable information. I'm doing it
as a public service...
Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her
excitement -- not even her parent's nasty divorce.
Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best
Dressed mother- of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new Young
wife had bought the exact same dress!

Jennifer asked her to exchange it, but she refused.

'Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm Wearing it,'
she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, 'Never mind sweetheart. I'll
get another dress. After all, it's your special day.' A few days later, they
went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for
lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, 'Aren't you going to return the other
dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it.

Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to
the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.'

NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO

WOULDN'T ENJOY THIS STORY? SEND IT TO EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW!!!

(HTBAPB - HOW TO BE A PERFECT B!TCH)

I've got 2 dogs. I bought a large bag of Meaty Bites at Big W and was standing in line at
the check-out.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Meaty Bites Diet again, although I
probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 25 kgs
before I woke in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and
IV's in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load
your pants pockets with Meaty Bites and simply eat one or two every time you feel
hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with
my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.

Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been
poisoned by the food. I told her no, it was because I'd been sitting in the middle of the
road licking my dick and a car hit me.

I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he
staggered out the door.

Stupid bitch...why else would I buy dog food??
