    A blind man wanders into an all girls biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for a while he yells to the waiter, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.

    In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair - given that you are blind - that you should know five things:

    1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat

    2. The bouncer is a blonde girl

    3. I'm a 6' tall, 175 lb. Blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

    4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.

    5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

    Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?" The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, "No, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times "*

    I'm reaching out because a friend of mine needs some help !!!!
    His wife told him to go out and get some of those pills that would help
    him get an erection.

    When he came back, he tossed her some diet pills.

    Anyway, he's looking for a place to live.

    Three friends from the local congregation were asked, "When you're
    in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over
    you,
    what would you like them to say?"
    Artie said: "I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a
    fine spiritual leader, and a great family man."

    Eugene commented: "I would like them to say I was a wonderful
    teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people's
    lives."

    Al said: "I'd like them to say, "Look, he's moving!""[:D][:D][:D]

    Joke-O-The Day
    Salesman of the Century
    A young guy from Minnesota moved to Florida and goes to a big "everything
    under one roof" department store looking for a job. The Manager says, "Do
    you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah. I was a salesman
    back in Minnesota."


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


    His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it, and after the
    store was locked up, the boss came down."How many customers bought
    something from you on your first day? The kid says, "One."


    The boss says, "Just One?" You know our sales people average on a
    slow day 20 to 30 customers, but you had "JUST ONE". And how much
    was your "JUST ONE for?"

    The kid says, "$101,237.65". The boss said what?... "$101,237.65?
    Well, what the heck did you sell?'' The kid says, "First, I sold him a
    small fishhook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a
    larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where
    he was going fishing, and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine "Chris Craft". Then he said he didn't think his "Honda Civic" would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that "4X4 Expedition."


    The boss said, "A man came in here to buy a fishing hook and you sold
    him a "BOAT and a TRUCK?""


    No " the kid said, "The man came in to buy monthly hygiene products for his wife, And I
    said, "Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing".

    In a local sports bar trivia quiz the other night, I lost by one point. The question was, where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, it's Africa.

    One of the other questions was to name two things commonly found in cells. It appears that Mexicans and African Americans is not the correct answer.

    I've heard that Apple has scrapped their plans for the new children's-oriented iPod after realizing that iTouch Kids is not a good product name.

    A new Muslim clothing shop opened here in Sanford, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some bomber jackets.

    You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

    A friend of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I asked, "How can you tell them apart?" He said, "Her brother has a mustache."

    Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Face Book. I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!" Next thing I know, 4000 Muslims have added me as a friend!!

    Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I said to the lady at the registration desk ... "I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled." To which she replied, "No, it's regular porn, you sick buzzard."

    The red cross knocked at my door asking if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan. I said I would love to, but my hose only reaches the bottom of the driveway.

    Two hillbillies Ed and Red walk into a bar. While having a shot of whiskey, they talk about their moonshine operation.

    Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress.

    One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, "Kin ya swallar?"

    The woman shakes her head no.

    "Kin ya breathe?"

    The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

    The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up the back of her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.

    The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the hillbilly walks slowly back to the bar.

    His partner says, "Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver', but I ain't never seen nobody do it!"

    A preacher decided his congregation needed some visual aids to understand his sermons about the evils of alcohol and other vices so he prepared the following items. He took 4 glass jars and filled one with chocolate, one with fresh dirt, one with booze, and one with cigarette smoke.Into each he placed a live earthworm . Sunday morning he preached his sermon and concluded with pulling the worms out of each jar .As can be expected all the worms except the one in the jar with the dirt were dead .Speaking to the congregation he asked " what can we learn from this ?"Sister Mabel, age 98, stood up from back of the church and said "If you drink whiskey, eat chocolate and smoke cigarettes you will not have worms!"

    A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?"
    "Of course. What may I do for you?"
    "Well, I bought an expensive electronic hair dryer that is well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there anyway you could carry it through customs for me? Under your robe perhaps?"
    "I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."
    "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."
    When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"
    "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."
    The official thought the answer was strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?"
    "I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."
    Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father.

    We should all try and learn something new every day. Here's one for today.


    I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW ..




    Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common.




    It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.


    Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

    Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.



    After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

    Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " (Ship High In Transport) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.



    You probably did not know the true history of this word.



    Neither did I.



    I had always thought it was a golf term.

    Short and Funny



    I dialed a number and got the following recording:
    "I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call.

    I am making some changes in my life.

    Please leave a message after the

    beep. If I do not return your call,

    you are one of the changes."


    ~~~~~


    At pilot training back in the

    Air Corps they taught us,
    "Always try to keep the number

    of landings you make
    equal to the number of take

    offs you make."
    ~~~~~


    Aspire to inspire before you expire.


    ~~~~~

    My wife and I had words,
    but I didn't get to use mine.


    ~~~~~

    Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your glasses.
    ~~~~~

    Blessed are those who can give without remembering
    and take without forgetting.


    ~~~~~


    The irony of life is that, by the time

    you're old enough to know your way

    around, you're not going anywhere.
    ~~~~~


    God made man before woman so as to give him time to think
    of an answer for her first question.


    ~~~~~



    I was always taught to respect my elders,
    but it keeps getting harder to find one.

    ~~~~~

    Every morning is the dawn

    of a new error.

    A REDNECK FROM GEORGIA
    DECIDES TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE SOUTH TO VIRGINIA TO SEE GOD'S COUNTRY.

    WHEN HE GETS TO FRANKLIN, HE LIKES THE PLACE SO MUCH THAT HE DECIDES
    TO STAY. BUT FIRST HE MUST FIND A JOB.!

    HE WALKS INTO THE INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY OFFICE AND FILLS OUT AN
    APPLICATION AS AN EXPERIENCED LOG INSPECTOR.

    IT'S HIS LUCKY DAY!!! THEY JUST HAPPEN TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE, BUT
    FIRST, THE LOG FOREMAN TAKES HIM FOR A RIDE INTO THE FOREST IN THE
    COMPANY PICKUP TRUCK TO SEE HOW MUCH HE KNOWS.

    THE FOREMAN STOPS THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POINTS AT A
    TREE. "SEE THAT TREE OVER THERE? I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT SPECIES
    IT IS AND HOW MANY BOARD FEET OF LUMBER IT CONTAINS."

    THE REDNECK PROMPTLY ANSWERS, "THAT THAR'S A WHITEPINE, 383 BOARD
    FEET OF LUMBER IN 'ER."

    THE FOREMAN IS IMPRESSED!!! HE PUTS THE TRUCK IN MOTION AND STOPS
    ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. HE POINTS AT ANOTHER TREE THROUGH THE
    PASSENGER WINDOW AND ASKS THE SAME QUESTION. THIS TIME, IT'S A
    BIGGER TREE OF A DIFFERENT CLASS.

    THAT'S A LOBLOLLY PINE AND SHE'S GOT ABOUT 456 CLEAR BOARD FEET.

    THE FOREMAN IS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE GOOD OL' BOY, HE HAS BEEN
    QUICK AND GOT THE ANSWERS RIGHT WITHOUT USING A CALCULATOR.

    ONE MORE test. THEY DRIVE A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, AND THE
    FOREMAN STOPS AGAIN. THIS TIME, HE POINTS ACROSS THE ROAD THROUGH HIS
    DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND SAYS, "AND WHAT ABOUT THAT ONE?"

    BEFORE THE FOREMAN FINISHES POINTING, THE REDNECK SAYS, "WHITE OAK,
    242 BOARD FEET AT BEST"

    THE FOREMAN SPINS THE TRUCK AROUND AND HEADS BACK TO THE OFFICE A
    LITTLE TICKED OFF BECAUSE HE THINKS THE RED NECK IS SMARTER THAN HE
    IS.

    AS THEY NEAR THE OFFICE, THE FOREMAN STOPS THE TRUCK AND ASKS BUBBA
    TO STEP OUTSIDE. HE HANDS HIM A PIECE OF CHALK AND TELLS HIM, "SEE
    THAT TREE OVER THERE?" I WANT YOU TO MARK AN X ON THE FRONT OF THAT
    TREE.

    THE FOREMAN THINKS TO HIMSELF, "IDIOT, HOW WOULD HE KNOW WHICH IS
    THE FRONT OF THE TREE?"

    WHEN BUBBA REACHES THE TREE, HE GOES AROUND IT IN A CIRCLE WHILE
    LOOKING AT THE GROUND. HE THEN REACHES UP AND PLACES A WHITE X ON
    THE TRUNK.

    HE WALKS BACK TO THE FOREMAN AND HANDS HIM THE CHALK. "THAT THAR'S
    THE FRONT", THE REDNECK SAYS.

    THE FOREMAN LAUGHS TO HIMSELF AND ASKS SARCASTICALLY, "HOW IN THE
    HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT'S THE FRONT OF THE TREE?"

    THE GOOD OL' BOY LOOKS DOWN AT HIS FEET, WHILE RUBBING THE TOE OF HIS
    LEFT BOOT CLEANING IT IN THE GRAVEL AND REPLIES, "CUZ SOMEBODY TOOK A
    poop BEHIND IT."
    HE GOT THE JOB AND IS NOW THE FOREMAN!!!!!

    Mexican Bungee Jumping

    Alice and Frank are Bungee-jumping one day. Alice says to Frank, you know, we could make a lot of money running our own Bungee-jumping service in Mexico." Frank thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy everything they'll need; a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc. They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on the square. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them at work. When they had finished, there was such a crowd they thought it would be a good idea to give a demonstration.



    So, Alice jumps. She bounces at the end of the cord, but when she comes back up, Frank notices that she has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Frank isn't able to catch her and she falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This time, she is bruised and bleeding.



    Again, Frank misses her. Alice falls again and bounces back up. This time she comes back pretty messed up -- she's got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious. Luckily, Frank finally catches her this time and says, "What happened? Was the cord too long?"



    Barely able to speak, Alice gasps, "No, the Bungee cord was fine...It was the crowd. What the hell is a pi?ata?!"

    Recieved this in an email:

    Subject: Kids !



    One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

    But little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and make love with him for money."

    The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"

    "No," the boy said, "He works for the Democratic National Committee and is helping to secure the 2008 nomination of Hilary Clinton, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids !

    A cowgirl, who moved to Texas from Arkansas, walks into a bar and
    orders three mugs of Bud. She sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip
    out of each one in turn. When she finishes them, she comes back to the
    bar and orders three more.


    The bartender approaches and tells the cowgirl, "You know, a mug goes
    flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."
    The cowgirl replies, "Well, you see, I have two sisters. One is in
    Australia, the other is in Dublin. When we all left our home in Arkansas,
    we promised that we would drink this way to remember the days when we drank
    together. So I am drinking one beer for each of my sisters and one for
    myself."


    The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.
    The cowgirl becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same
    way, she orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day she comes in
    and orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice And fall silent. When
    she comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I
    don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences
    on your loss."


    The cowgirl looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in her
    eyes and she laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," she explains. "It's
    just that my husband and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit
    drinking. Hasn't affected my sisters, though."

    A young man goes into the Job Center in Jacksonville, Florida,
    and sees a card advertising for a Gynecologist' s Assistant.

    Interested, he goes to learn more - 'Can you give me some more
    details?' he asks the clerk.

    The clerk pulls up the file and says, 'The job entails getting the
    ladies ready for the gynecologist. You have to help them out of
    their underwear, lay them down and carefully wash their private
    regions, then apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in
    soothing oils so that they're ready for the gynecologist's examination.

    There's an annual salary of $45,000, but you're going to have
    to go to Oxford, Mississippi. That's about 620 miles from here.'

    'Oh, is that where the job is?'

    'No sir - that's where the end of the line is right now.'

    A photographer from a well-known national magazine was assigned to cover Southern California's wildfires. The magazine wanted pictures of the heroic work the fire fighters were doing as they battled the blazes. When the photographer arrived on the scene he realized that the smoke was so thick that it would seriously impede, or even make impossible, his obtaining good photographs from ground-level. He requested permission from his boss to rent a plane and take photos from the air. His request was approved, and via a cell phone call to the local county airport, necessary arrangements were made. He was told a single-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. He arrived at the airfield and spotted a plane warming up outside a hangar.
    He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, "Let's go!" The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind, and roared down the runway. Within just a minute or two of his arrival they were in the air.
    The photographer requested the pilot to, "Fly over the valley and
    make two or three low passes so I can take some pictures of the fires on the hillsides."
    "Why?" asked the pilot.
    "Because I'm a photographer for a national magazine," he responded, "and I need to get some close-up shots."
    The pilot was strangely silent for a moment; finally he stammered,
    "So, you're telling me you're not the flight instructor?"

    Difference between stop and slow down



    A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy.
    He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education then any cop from Houston . He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy's expense.

    Deputy says,"License and registration, please."

    Lawyer says, "What for?"

    Deputy says, " You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."

    Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

    Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and
    registration, please."

    Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

    Deputy says, "The difference is, you have to come to complete stop,
    That's the law. License and registration, please!"

    Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the
    ticket."

    Deputy says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir." At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating
    the ever-loving mess out of the lawyer and says,

    "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

    Wal-Mart announced that sometime in 2010 it will begin offering customers a new discount item...Walmart's own brand of wine.


    The world's largest retail chain is rumored to be teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an affordable price in the $2 to $5 range.


    Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of the Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts, but 'There is a market for inexpensive wine,' said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at University of Arkansas , Bentonville. 'However, branding will be very important.'


    Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Walmart wine brands and varieties.

    The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:

    10. Chateau Traileur Parc

    9. White Trashfindel

    8. Big Red Gulp

    7. World Championship Riesling

    6. NASCARbernet

    5. Chef Boyardeaux

    4. Peanut Noir

    3. I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar

    2. Grape Expectations

    1. Nasti Spumante


    The beauty of Walmart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).







    P.S. Don't bother responing back to tell me that this is a hoax. I know possum is not white meat.

    A man tells his wife that he's going out to buy cigarettes. When he gets to the store he finds out it's closed. So the guy ends up going to the bar to use the vending machine. While there, he has a few beers and begins talking to this beautiful girl. He has a few more beer and the next thing he knows he's in this girl's apartment and having quite a pleasurable time. The next thing he know it was 3:00 AM.
    "Oh my, god, my wife is going to kill me!" he exclaimed. "Quick give me some talcum powder!"

    She gets him some and he rubs it all over his hands. When he got home his wife is up waiting for him and she's furious. "Where the hell have you been!"

    He says, "Well to tell you the truth, I went into a bar, had a few drinks, went home with this blonde and I slept with her." "Let me see your hands!" she demands. He shows his wife his powdery hands.

    "Damn liar, you were out bowling again!"

    MY FORGETTER!! My forgetter's getting better But my rememberer is broke To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke For when I'm "here" I'm wondering If I really should be "there" And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer! Often times I walk into a room, Say, "what am I here for?" I wrack my brain, but all in vain A zero, is my score. At times I put something away Where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from Is, generally, me! When shopping I may see someone, Say "Hi" and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself "who was that?" Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy And that isn't any joke. CAN YOU RELATE??? Please send this to everyone you know because... I DON'T REMEMBER WHO I SENT THIS TO .

    Post Turtle

    While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old California rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

    Eventually the topic got around to Nancy Pelosi and her elevation to speaker of the house.

    The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Nancy is a post turtle."

    Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

    The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle." The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just want to help the dumb * get down."

    Some may find this one amusing:
    quote:A police motorcycle cop stops a driver for running a red light. The driver is a real jerk, steps out of his car and comes strides toward the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo! So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. The motorist instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit terms.

    The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything.

    When the officer finishes writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it to the 'violator' for his signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.

    The officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're an jerk!"

    Two months later they're in court. The 'violator' has a bad driving record and he is in danger of losing his license, so he hired a lawyer to represent him.

    On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light.

    Under cross examination the defense attorney asks; "Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?"

    Officer responds, "Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top."

    Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you don't normally make?"

    "Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an "AH," underlined."

    "What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"

    "Aggressive and hostile, Sir."

    "Aggressive and hostile?"

    "Yes, Sir."

    "Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for jerk?"

    "Well, sir, you know your client better than I do."

    Living Will

    Last night, my wife and I were sitting
    in the living room talking about many things.
    The idea of a living will came up and I said
    to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative
    state, dependent on some machine and fluids
    from a bottle. If I ever come to that just
    pull the plug."

    She got up, unplugged the TV and then
    threw out my beer.

    An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun
    in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other.
    He says to the waiter:

    "Want coffee."


    The waiter says, "Sure, Chief. Coming right up."



    He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.
    The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp,
    turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun,
    causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere
    and then just walks out.


    The next morning the Indian returns.
    He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling
    another male buffalo with the other.
    He walks up to the counter and says to
    the waiter

    "Want coffee."


    The waiter says "Whoa, Tonto! ll
    We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about,
    anyway?"

    The Indian smiles and proudly says .



    "Training for position in United States Congress:
    Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull,
    leave mess for others to clean up,
    disappear for rest of day.

    A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a San Francisco, CA
    courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

    The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him
    more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When
    the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy
    cried out that they also beat him.


    After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning
    that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the
    judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who
    should have custody of him.

    After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child
    welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the San
    Francisco 49ers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

    An American wrestler was listening to his managers advice about his next match. The guys an Australian who has this lock hold that he calls a Kangaroo Hold. If he gets you in this hold youre screwed. It can not be broken. The manager demonstrated the hold and ways to block it.

    The match started,and immediatly the American boy got locked in the hold The manager threw his hands over his eyes in utter dispair. Suddenly the crowd went wild. The manager looked up and saw the referee holding up the Americans hand in victory. Back in the getdressing room the manager said i did not see what happened. How did you break that hold?


    Well the wrestler said he had me all twisted up and i looked up and saw this pair of balls hanging in front of my face so i bit them. Youd be suprised how strong you can get when you bite your own nuts.

    Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really MAD!!! She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE".


    The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a small box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.


    Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Funeral services for Ed have been scheduled for Friday.

    No speaka da English:
    A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.

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

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

    The lady can't take this any more,

    'You foul-mouthed sex obsessed pig !' she retorted indignantly. 'In this country, we don't speak aloud in Public places about our sex lives!'

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

    A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard.
    Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the
    right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have
    beaten
    the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating
    woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she
    missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell
    phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her
    window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer.
    The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her
    to the police station where she was searched, finger printed,
    photographed and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a
    policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted
    back to the booking desk where the arresting Officer was waiting with
    her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You
    see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn,
    flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.
    I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus
    Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker,
    and
    the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally...I
    assumed you had stolen the car." Priceless.

    Las Vegas Churches

    THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN LAS VEGAS , BUT THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN CASINOS.

    NOT SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE CASINO CHIPS RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS PASSED

    SINCE THEY GET CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE DEVISED A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS.

    THE CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY FRANCISCAN MONASTERY FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED IN.





    THIS IS DONE BY THE CHIP MONKS...! :)

    quote:
    A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came
    upon an Iraqi terrorist who was badly injured and unconscious.

    On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar
    but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as
    first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured
    Marine what had happened.

    The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the
    highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw
    each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I
    yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag
    who got what he deserved."

    He yelled back that Barack Obama is a lying, good-for-nothing, left
    wing Commie who isn't even an American.

    So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid,
    mean-spirited lesbian!

    He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Nancy Pelosi!"

    "And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a
    truck hit us."
