Joan sees that the others are safe so she gets out, but she sinks and drowns. Jesus turns to Amy and Emily and says "why didn't you tell her about the stepping stones?" Amy and Emily looked puzzled and reply "what stepping stones?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Three hunters, a Texan, a Californian and an Coloradan, are gathered around a campfire. The three have been drinking and bragging about the virtues of their home states. Suddenly, the Texan says, "Watch this." He opens a bottle of tequila, takes a swig, tosses it in the air, pulls out a pearl-handled revolver and shoots the bottle cleanly in two. "It's a shame to waste that good liquor," the Californian says. "It's OK," the Texan replies. "Where I come from, we've got plenty of that." Not to be outdone, the Californian pulls out a bottle of white zinfandel. He pulls off the cork, takes a drink, throws the bottle in the air, whips out an assault rifle and blasts the bottle, sending shards of glass everywhere. "Shame to waste good wine," the Texan says. "It's OK," the Californian says. "We've got plenty in my state." At this point, the Coloradan stands up. He pulls out a Coors, twists off the cap and guzzles the entire beer. He throws the bottle high in the air, pulls out a shotgun, empties both barrels into the Californian and neatly catches the bottle. The Texan stands in shock. The Coloradan calmly puts the gun down. "It's OK," he says, "We've got plenty of them in my state. Besides, this bottle is worth a nickel. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Did you hear the one about the Central European farmer who was asked to hid an escaped midget from the Prague circus? The midget had skipped out on the circus and gone to Paris. He'd spent some time drawing his own caricature (for small contributions from passers-by) on the shore of the river Seine. As a result, the authorities knew exactly what the midget looked like. When the midget asked the farmer to concel him from the authorities, the farmer refused, saying that he couldn't help because he couldn't cache a small Czech drawn on an out-of-town bank. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The crofter's wife went into labour in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery.

"Och!" said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush to put the lantern by...I thinkthere's yet another wee bairn to come." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a bonnie lass. "Na, dinna be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, lad...It seems there's yet another one besides!" cried the doctor. The crofter scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor: "Well,now, mon.

Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun how many would be left. None replied Johnny, cause the rest would fly away. Well the answer is four said the teacher, but I like the way you are thinking. Little Johnny says, I have a question for you now. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting the cone and the third was sucking the cone, which one is married. Well said the teacher nervously, I guess the one sucking the cone? No, said Little Johnny, the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you are thinking. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Clinton and Gore are heading back toward the clubhouse from the eighteenth green one fine afternoon.

It's a beautiful day and love is in the air, so Marie leans over to Pierre and says: "Pierre, kiss me!". So our hero grabs a bottle of red wine and splashes it on Marie's lips. "What are you doing, Pierre?" shrieks Marie. "Well, my name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have red meat I like to have red wine!" His answer is good enough for Marie and things begin to heat up. So she says : "Pierre, kiss me lower." Our hero rips off her blouse, grabs a bottle of white wine and starts pouring it all over her tits. "Pierre, what are you doing?" "My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have white meat I like to have white wine!" They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up. Marie leans over once more and softly whispers into his ear, "Pierre, kiss me lower." Pierre tears off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and sprinkles it all over her crotch. He grabs a match and lights it on fire. Patting the flames out furiously, Marie screams, "PIERRE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!?" "My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I go down, I go down in flames!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Three people were riding in a car: a hardware technician, a system analyst and a software engineer. The system analyst was driving and when they came to a steep hill, she found that the brakes had failed, and the car started accelerating out of control. The system analyst pumped the emergency brake, downshifted the gears, and rubbed the wheel rims against the curb. She finally wrestled the car to a stop. The three climbed out and assessed the situation. The hardware technician said, "Let's try and fix it. I'll crawl under the car and take a look." The system analyst said, "No, I think we should get someone qualified to fix it, a specialist in brakes." The software engineer said, "Why don't we just get back in and see if it happens again?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Dishes Steve is shopping for a new motorcycle. He finally finds one for a great price, but it's missing a seal, so whenever it rains he has to smear vaseline over the spot where the seal should be. Anyway, his girlfriend is having him over for dinner to meet her parents. He drives his new bike to her house, where she is outside waiting for him. "No matter what happens at dinner tonight, don't say a word." She tells him, "Our family had a fight a while ago about doing dishes. We haven't done any since, but the first person to speak at dinner has to do them." Steve sits down for dinner and it is just how she described it. Dishes are piled up to the ceiling in the kitchen, and nobody is saying a word. So Steve decides to have a little fun. He grabs his girlfriend, throws her on the table and has sex with her in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and her mom horrified when he sits back down, but no one says a word. A few minutes later he grabs her mom, throws her on the table and does a repeat performance. Now his girlfriend is furious, her dad is boiling, and her mother is a little happier. But still there is complete silence at the table. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Steve remembers his motorcycle. He jumps up and grabs his jar of vaseline.

Judge: "I see nothing in the transcript that mentions what happened to your best friend, would you please tell me what happened with him." Man: " Well your Honor, I pointed my finger at him and said BAD DOG, BAD DOG." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There was this male engineer, on a cruise ship in the Caribbean for the first time. It was wonderful, the experience of his life. He was being waited on hand an foot. But, it did not last. A Hurricane came up unexpectedly. The ship went down almost instantly. The man found himself, he knew not how, swept up on the shore of an island. There was nothing else anywhere to be seen. No person, no supplies, nothing. The man looked around. There were some bananas and coconuts, but that was it. He was desperate, and forlorn, but decided to make the best of it. So for the next four months he ate bananas, drank coconut juice and mostly looked to the sea mightily for a ship to come to his rescue. One day, as he was lying on the beech stroking his beard and looking for a ship, he spotted movement out of the corner of his eye. Could it be true, was it a ship? No, from around the corner of the island came this rowboat. In it was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen, or at least seen in 4 months. She was tall, tanned, and her blond hair flowing in the sea breeze gave her an almost ethereal quality. She spotted him also as he was waving and yelling and screaming to get her attention. She rowed her boat towards him. In disbelief, he asked, "Where did you come from? How did you get here"? She said, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed on this island when my cruise ship sank" "Amazing", he said, "I didn't know anyone else had survived. How many of you are there? Where, did you get the rowboat? You must have been really lucky to have a rowboat wash-up with you?" "It is only me", she said, "and the rowboat didn't wash up, nothing else did." "Well then", said the man, "how did you get the rowboat?" I made the rowboat out of raw material that I found on the island, replied the woman. The oars were whittled from Gum tree branches, I wove the bottom from Palm branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree". "But, but, asked the man, what about tools and hardware, how did you do that?" "Oh, no problem, replied the woman, on the south side of the island there is a very unusual strata of alluvial rock exposed. I found that If I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into forgeable ductile iron. I used that for tools, and used the tools to make the hardware. But, enough of that, she said. Where do you live?" At last the man was forced to confess that he had been sleeping on the beach. "Well, let's row over to my place, she said." So they both got into the rowboat and left for her side of island. The woman easily rowed them around to a wharf that led to the approach to her place. She tied up the rowboat with a beautifully woven hemp rope. They walked up a stone walk and around a Palm tree, there stood an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. "It's not much, she said, but I call it home. Sit down please, would you like to have a drink?" "No, said the man, one more coconut juice and I will puke." "It won't be coconut juice, the woman replied, I have a still, how about a Pina Colada? Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepted, and they sat down on her couch to talk. After a while, and they had exchanged their stories, the woman asked, "Tell me, have you always had a beard?" "No", the man replied, "I was clean shaven all of my life, and even on the cruise ship". "Well if you would like to shave, there is a man's razor upstairs in the cabinet in the bathroom." So, the man, no longer questioning anything, went upstairs to the bath room. There in the cabinet was a razor made from a bone handle, two shells honed to a hollow ground edge were fastened on to its end inside of a swivel mechanism. The man shaved, showered and went back down stairs.. "You look great, said the woman, I think I will go up and slip into something more comfortable." So she did. And, the man continued to sip his Pina Colada. After a short time, the woman returned wearing fig leafs strategically positioned and smelling faintly of gardenia. "Tell me, she asked, we have both been out here for a very long time with no companionship. You know what I mean. Have you been lonely, is there anything that you really miss? Something that all men and woman need. Something that it would be really nice to have right now." "Yes there is, the man replied, as he moved closer to the woman while fixing a winsome gaze upon her, "Tell me ... Do you happen to have an Internet connection?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Two sperms are swimming along.

Yes, I know ethnic jokes are not "PC", but I'm desended from all four nationalities mentioned, so I get away with it. ;> First, God created the Irish. He said to himself, "These people are fun. They're very fun. But I *don't* want them to *ever* rule the world." So to handicap them, He gave them Whisky. Then God created the Scots. He said to himself, "These people are almost as much fun as the Irish. But I don't want them to ever the world, either." So to handicap them, He gave them Kilts and Bagpipes. Then God created the Welsh. He took one look at them, and said, "No way!!". So to handicap them, He gave them the Welsh Language. Finally, God created the English. And for the smallest possible moment in time, He was worried. For he knew that these people would come closer to ruling the world than any of the others. So he realized that he needed to give them a great handicap. So He gave them ... the Irish, Scots, and Welsh. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day he just wasn't paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over into the beer vat and drowned. The foreman thought it should be his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's death. He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, "I'm sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned." She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, "Tell me, did he suffer?" "I don't think so," said the foreman, "He got out three times to go to the men's room." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A plumber, an electrician, a dentist and a programmer are fast friends: buddies for life, eternal bachelors..until the programmer announces he is getting married.

A week after returning from the honeymoon, the programmer meets his buddies in a bar for drinks, and half-heartedly chuckles with them over the gags. Pointing to the plumber, he comments "Yeah, the drippy faucet you couldn't turn off was a neat trick." And to the electrician: "And a flickering table lamp with no off switch was cute, too." Then, shaking a fist at the dentist "But, you! YOU!

In the middle of the project, there comes a knock at the door. "Who is it?", calls one of the nuns. "Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door. The two nuns look at each other and shrug, and, deciding that no harm can come from letting a blind man into the room, they open the door. "Nice breasts," says the man, "where do you want these blinds?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sam has been in the computer business for 25 years and is finally sick of the stress. He quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Vermont as far from humanity as possible. Sam sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet. After six months or so of almost total isolation, he's finishing dinner when someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there is a big, bearded Vermonter standing there. "Names Enoch... Your neighbor from four miles over the ridge... Having a party Saturday... thought you'd like to come." "Great," says Sam, "after six months of this I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you." As Enoch is leaving he stops, "Gotta warn you there's gonna be some drinkin." "Not a problem...after 25 years in the computer business, I can do that with the best of them." Again, as he starts to leave Enoch stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin, too." Damn, Sam thinks...tough crowd. "Well, I get along with people. I'll be there. Thanks again." Once again Enoch turns from the door. "I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too." "Now that's not a problem" says Sam, "Remember I've been alone for six months! I'll definitely be there ... by the way, what should I wear to the party?" Enoch stops in the door again and says "Whatever you want, it's just gonna be the two of us." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Six wise, blind elephants were discussing what humans were like.

It is the best and most expensive car in the world, and it runs him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and, while doing so, stops for a red light. An old man on a moped (both looking about 90 years old) pulls up next to him. The old man looks over the sleek, shiny surface of the car and asks, "What kind of car ya' got there, sonny?". The young man replies, "A 1996 Turbo BeepBeep. They cost $500,000." "That's a lot of money," says the old man, shocked. "Why so much?" "Because this car can do 320 miles an hour!" states the cool dude proudly. The moped driver asks, "Can I take a look inside?" "Sure," replies the owner. So, the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Leaning back on his moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right!" Just then, the light changes, so the guy decides to show the old man what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 320 mph. Then, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be, and suddenly, whhhoooossshhh! Something whips by him, going much faster! "What on earth could be going faster than my Turbo BeepBeep?" the young man wonders. Then, ahead of him, he sees the dot coming back toward him again. Whoooooosh! It goes by again, heading in the opposite direction! And it almost looked like the old man on the moped! "Couldn't be," thinks the guy. "How could a moped outrun a Turbo BeepBeep?" Again, he sees the dot coming up fast in his rearview mirror! Whooooosh Ka-BbblaMMM! It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end. The young man jumps out, and Jesus to Betsy, it is the old man!!! Of course the moped and the old man are hurting for certain. He runs up to the old man and says, "You're hurt bad! Is there anything I can do for you?" The old man groans and replies, "Well, you can start by unhooking my goddamn suspenders from your side mirror!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In medieval times there was a court jester whose wont was always to come up with the most atrocious puns. This continued for months on end, whereupon the king lost his patience and sentenced the jester to be hanged. The poor wretch was standing on the gallows with a rope around his neck when a messenger came riding posthaste from the castle, exclaiming: "Wait! The king has decided to spare the jester's life, provided that he never again tell another pun." At this, the jester smiled and beamed and said, "No noose is good news!" ....click... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I keep telling puns, once my daughter asked me to stop.

So strong was this urge that he spent all of his spare time and effort in finding a place to accomplish this goal. Finally, George found a university genetics professor who agreed to the task. Sure enough, the cloning was accomplished, and, at first, George was elated. The clone was identical to George in every way .. except for one thing. Whereas George was an extremely nice person, the clone was just the opposite .. mean, nasty tempered, insulting, and vulgar. What was worse, the clone would follow George everywhere .. he could do nothing without this awful being tagging along. George was devistated .. he lost all of his friends, he lost his job, and ultimately his wife took the kids and left him. George could stand it no longer! He had to get rid of this evil creature no matter what the cost. Finally, George hit upon a plan. He told the clone that he was going mountain climbing the next day, but that he wanted to go alone. The clone cussed him and told him, in no uncertain terms, that he was going along too (as George knew he would). The next day, they climbed to the top of the highest mountain in the area. Once there, George executed the final stage of his plan. He pushed the clone off the mountain and watched the devilish creature fall to its death. The problem was, someone witnessed the act. George was arrested and charged with first degree murder. During the trial, George testified as to how awful his life had become after the clone was made. He went into detail about the abusiveness of the creation and how it had ruined his life. After hearing the story, the judge reduced the charges from first degree murder to making an obscene clone fall. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Reminds me of the great disappointment felt by the team of physicists who after 23 years created the perfect vacuum.

Our current 'big' project is the building of this humongous statue of Sam Houston (a state hero). We also have a classical small-town newspaper, with either very sick or stupid editors (I wouldn't place my money on either one...unsafe bet) anyway, friday the 9th of september, we had a front page article reading: The Erection of Sam Houston Statue Draws Nearer We in huntsville feel sorry for the residential areas nearby, as they will undoubtedly be the first to be impacted by this growing problem. We do have some pride in this statue though, as the boots must be brought by a heavy truck, we are sure that NO other member on this planet will be able to fit in those boots... In adition to this problem, we recently had another type of 'erection' just a hop, skip and jump down the road from the building site, where some er, 'upstanding members' of our community were engaging objects other than their transmission, if you catch my meaning. I'm sure the nearing erection of Sam will attract some of those types to cum, er, I mean come, to the site Also, plans for a public restroom on the grounds of the statue are under discussion, as we are sure that this site will make some people think of restrooms.... If this subject didn't titillate you, I'm sorry, and I am assured that our city has this problem well in hand, and will soon bring it to manageble proportions...

It was just a pigment of his imagination. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= One day, me and my buddies were tossing down a few cool ones, when this dog walks into the bar and says, "Gimme a beer". Evidently this type of thing isn't too rare because the bartender said, "I'm sorry, but we don't serve dogs here." The dog then took out a dollar, and said, "Look, I got money, and I want a beer." This scene had the potential to get ugly. The bartender said one more time, "We do not serve dogs here. Please leave." The dog growled, so the bartender pulled out a gun and shot the dog in the foot! The dog yelped, and ran out the door. The next day, I happened to be in the same establishment, and was again drinking a few beers. Suddenly, the swinging bar doors were tossed open and in walks the dog we saw the day before. He was dressed all in black. A black cowboy hat, a black vest, three black cowboy boots and one black bandage. The dog looks around, waits for the talking to quiet down, and says, "I'm lookin' fer the man who shot my paw." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Did you hear about the guy that thought he was as bright as a light bulb? Yes, it was a filament of his imagination. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here's a rare triple pun: A marine biologist discovered that seagull meat was so good for dolphins that it could keep them alive forever. So every day he would walk down the pier of his waterfront lab, then boat out to sea and trap several birds. Then he returned and fed them to his pet dolphins in a swimming pool. One day he was walking back with his daily catch and froze in fear: stretched across the dock was a huge, fearsome-looking lion. He didn't know it was just a toothless old lion who had wandered away from a circus when someone forgot to bolt its cage. The scientist hesitated, backed up, then dashed down the dock and leaped over the animal -- just in time to feed his pool pets. Just then, the authorities arrived -- circus workers who coaxed the lion home, and police who arrested the scientist. The charge? "Transporting gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises." There, wasn't that worth the wait? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Once a Missionary went to an Island inhabited by cannibals in order to try to convert them to Christianity. He offered the Chief a golden throne if he would get his tribe to convert. Well, the chief accepted the throne and then had the Missionary killed and eaten. A few years went by and soon the chief heard rumors that another Missionary was on his way to the Island to try to convert his tribe again. Well, the chief figured he would get another gift, so he hid the gold throne in the top attic of his grass hut. Well, the second Missionary arrived, and after giving the chief another gold throne, met the same fate. A few more years went by, and one day as the chief was sitting on the second gold throne, the first one came crashing down from the grass hut's roof -- right on top of him, killing him instantly. What is the moral of this story? People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A man boarded the Metro Bus and was amazed to see a small dwarf seated on a pile of cushions, driving the bus. He was no more than two feet tall. He was wearing a green uniform, and a hat straight out of Robin Hood. The dwarf stared directly ahead while driving, and kept repeating the same word over and over..... "tock....tock...tock..." The man asked the person sitting next to him what the story was, and was told that the dwarf was a common sight on the Metro Bus runs, and was a great driver to boot. "But why does he keep repeating the same word over and over?", asked the man. "Well", his neighbor said, "I called the bus company myself to find that out." "It seems that that's his job", the other man said. "He's a Metro-gnome!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= By the way, careful if you fly to Helsinki. You could vanish into Finnair. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= As Lee stood before San Francisco, he was caught surprised by a cavallery attack while he was uncovered. He surely would have been history if not in the same moment an earthquake struck which fell the horses like dominoes so he got the upper hand again. "Phew!" sighed Lee. "That's what you call a General Protection Fault!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Few people are alive today who would remember this, but, since I am into my second old age, I remember it well. Back when the Great Computer Guy in the Sky was coming up with one fine computer language and another fine operating system every minute or so, he was becoming annoyed by earthling computer geeks who kept DEMANDING more and more and more... (as though enough were not enough, right?) This lack of manners on the part of computer people below had to stop. At least, they could be polite about things! So a voice came over the whole earth and it commanded... "ASCII and ye shall receivii!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Did you hear that the Energizer Bunny attacked a man in the street, and was charged with assault and battery? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= According to unofficial press sources, the real reason that Loretta did what she did to John was to buzz up their sex life. She wanted to use his cock as a roach!! Unknown to most, the Bobbitt family was very well-off financially. In fact, the night of the cut-off, John and Loretta were discussing their family will. John did not want to include the family private detective in it. Loretta finally agreed and then she cut out the house dick!! When John was in recovery, two of his friends named Alan and Fredrick offered to help him out. They had parts of their organ cloned which would then be added to John's stump. Shortly after the operation, John was so happy about his new organ that he named it Al-Fred Hitch-Cock!! As another poster implied, Loretta treated John like a bank treats a customer. She made him lose interest and suffer SEVERE penalties for early withdrawal!! The media circus and the courts are all ready for a John and Loretta get-back-together. The courts are even ready for John's excuse at revenge knowing that he'll say that he took tit for that!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Tractor Fan An old farmer had spent his life collecting tractors: every time one broke down irreparably or became hopelessly out of date, he refused to sell it, instead keeping it in a large barn. He even bought used tractors from other farmers. He worked on them and polished them, treating them like museum exhibits. Eventually it came time for him to retire, and he decided to sell off his massive collection so that he could live comfortably with his wife in a nice country cottage. So he put advertisements in local and national papers, and waited. He didn't have long to wait: a few days later he received a letter from a visiting American businessman, whose company had built some of the tractors mentioned in the advert and who had an interest in old vehicles himself. After a couple more letters the two arranged to meet in the farmer's local inn/pub on the coming Saturday. That evening came and the businessman arrived, having managed to find the place chiefly by virtue of its being the only large building for several miles. He soon located the farmer in question, despite the heavy clouds of pipe smoke, and an hour passed in most pleasant conversation, the pair turning out to have much in common. "Well," sighed the farmer eventually, "I haven't had such a good yak for a long time, but I suppose it's about time we got down to business, eh?" "Sure," replied the other, "but maybe we could go somewhere else? Y'see, I'm findin' it kinda hard to concentrate with this much smoke." "Ah, there's no need for that", said the farmer, "watch this!" He then proceeded to take an amazingly deep, deep breath, sucking in every last particle of smoke in the room. Then he leaned over to the partially open window behind him and blew all the smoke out into the night. "Hey, how the heck did you manage that?" gasped the American. "Oh, it was nothing; you see, I'm an ex-tractor fan." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= An old lady walks into a plastic surgeon's office and tells him she wants a facelift. He says "Well, we have three models. The first is for $1000 and is guarenteed for one year, the second is $3000 and is guarenteed for 3 years, and the last is $5000 and it is guarenteed for 5 years." The old lady says "Well tell me about them." The doctor says, "For $1000 you are going to get a half-ass job that you pay very little for." She responds, "Forget that one, what about the next one." He explains, "For $3000 we do a much better job and pay close attention to detail, but it is only guarenteed for 3 years." The lady says, "No, that's no good either, what about the last one." The doctor replies, "For $5000 you are going to get the best facelift with a feature that is on the cutting edge of plastic surgery. There will be a screw attached to the back of your head and if you notice your face sagging, just come back in and we will tighten the screw." The lady is delighted and has the surgery. About 6 months later she comes back to the office very upset. "Doctor, I want my money back because I look horrible. Look at these bags under my eyes!" The doctor leans back in his chair and says, "Lady you aren't getting anything back. Those bags under your eyes are your tits and if you keep messing with that screw, you're going to have a moustache." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A husband and wife decided to see a couselor. After introductions, the counselor said to them: "Often a good indicator of the state of your marriage is the frequency in which you engage in marital relations. Mr. Smith, how often do you estimate that you and your wife enjoy physical relations?" The husband somewhat timidly responded "Almost every night." "Well, that's somewhat surprising", replied the counselor "Uh," Mr Smith continued, "almost on Monday. Almost on Tuesday. Almost on Wednesday ..." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A rather posh lady is showing her small daughter around Rome in the back of a taxi. They pass a railway station and the daughter asks: "Mummy, what are all those ladies doing standing around in very short dresses?". The mother realises that she is referring to the prostitute day shift, but hedges - "I expect they are waiting for their friends, or looking at the Roman architecture, dear". The taxi driver flips back the partition and says: "Go on, a-mother. Tell her they're prostitutes!". "Mummy what are 'prostitutes'?" With a sigh, Mother tells all. The little girl is very interested: "But Mummy, don't they sometimes have babies?". "Well yes dear, I'm afraid they do." "But Mummy, what happens to the babies?". "Well dear, that's the interesting thing about it: invariably they become taxi-drivers". -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Guy One: "Do you remember when you were a kid and used to blow bubbles?" Guy Two: "Yeah, why?" Guy One: "I saw him yesterday.

There were probably a few other reasons: It bombs a lot. It takes even the FBI 50+ days just to get it out of the box. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A hippie gets onto a bus and proceeds to sit next to a Nun in the front seat. The Hippie looks over and asks the Nun if she would have sex with him. The Nun surprised by the question politely declines and gets off at the next stop. When the bus starts on it's way the guy driving the bus says to the hippie, "if you want I can tell you how you can get that nun to have sex with you." The hippie of course says that he'd love to know so the bus driver tells him that every Tuesday evening at midnight the nun goes to the cemetery to pray to the lord. "If you went dressed in robes and some glowing powder," said the bus driver "you could tell her you were God and command her to have sex with you." Well the Hippie decides to try this out. So that Tuesday he goes to the cemetery and waits for the nun. And right on schedule the nun shows up. When she's in the middle of praying the hippie walks out from hiding, in robes and glowing with a mask of god. "I am God, I have heard your prayers and I will answer them but you must have sex with me first." The nun agrees but asks for anal sex so she might keep her virginity. The hippie agrees to this and quickly sets about to go to work on the nun. After the Hippie finishes, he rips off his mask and shouts out, "Ha ha, I'm the hippie!!" The nun replied by whipping off her mask and shouting, "Ha ha, I'm the bus driver!!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pinnochio was receiving complaints from his girlfriend about consummating their passions. "Every time we make love," she said, "I get splinters!" So he went back to his maker, Gipetto, the carpenter, to ask for advice. "Sandpaper my boy, that's what you need," was the carpenter's response. A couple of weeks later the carpenter saw Pinnochio again, "How are you getting on with the girls now?" "Who needs girls?" replied Pinnochio. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A businessman boards a flight and is lucky enough to be seated next to an absolutely gorgeous woman. They exchange brief hellos and he notices she is reading a manual about sexual statistics. He asks her about it and she replies, "This is a very interesting book about sexual statistics. It identifies that American Indians have the longest average penis and Polish men have the biggest average diameter. By the way, my name is Jill. What's yours?" He coolly replies, "Tonto Kawalski, nice to meet you." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A woman was pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his ticket book. She said, "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolman's Ball." He replied, "No, Highway Patrolmen don't have balls." There followed a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd said. He then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A man was driving along in his mini and it broke down. He was parked on the verge trying fix it when a Jaguar pulled over in front of him and the man offered to help. After a few minutes they obviously weren't going to get it going so the Jaguar driver offered him a tow. They hitched up the mini and agreed that, if he was going too fast, the mini would blow his horn and flash his lights to get him to slow down and off they set. At the next traffic lights a Ferrari pulls up beside the Jaguar and revs his engine provocatively a few times. When the lights turn to amber the Ferrari and the Jaguar burn rubber and are both soon doing 140mph. After a while they go through a speed trap and the policeman, realising that he will need help to catch them, radios in for assistance saying: "You won't believe what I saw; a Ferrari and a Jaguar doing 140mph side by side and a mini behind them flashing his lights and blowing his horn trying to get past". -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A man walks into a bar and sits down and orders a beer. The bartender is stunned at his appearance. He is a tall muscular, well-built man except for one thing. His head is the size of an orange. Finally, the bartender can stand it no longer. " Look fellow, I hate to be nosy, but I cant stand it any longer - what the hell happened to your head?" The man hesitated a moment, then - in a munchkin-like voice - he began his tale. "Well, it's a long story, but I'll tell it if you must know. You see, I am a fisherman by trade. Been a fisherman all my life. The work is very hard, but I love it. I actually enjoy repairing my boat and nets - even the mundane maintenance work is enjoyable. One day the fishing was very poor, so I went farther out into the ocean than I had ever gone. When I cast out my nets, I felt a great weight, and I was overjoyed at the thought of catching so many fish. As I pulled in the net, I began to discern a very strange shape. You probably won't believe this, but I swear it's true - there was a mermaid in my net! She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, and I was even more stunned when she spoke to me." "Oh please, Sir - please let me go! I am a magical mermaid, and if you will release me from this net I will grant you a wish." I was so overwhelmed by her beauty, that I could think of only one thing. "Beautiful mermaid, I said, I am a fisherman by trade, and have been all my life. I have never had time for women, but seeing you fills me with such desire that I have but one thought, and that is to make love to you." She smiled sweetly and replied," I am most flattered Sir, that you find me so desirable, but what you ask cannot be. I am a fish below the waist, with very sharp scales that would severly damage you were we to attempt a coupling. Perhaps there is something else I could do to please you." "Being a fisherman, I understand perfectly the problem you describe," I told her. "How about a little head?" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
