Homer, a handsome dude, walked into a sports
bar around 9:58pm.  He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10:00 news was now on.  The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a tall building preparing to jump.

The blonde looked at Homer and said, "Do you
think he'll jump?"

Homer said, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

Homer placed 20 dollars on the bar and said,
"You're on!"

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar,
the guy did a swan dive
off of the building, falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset and handed her 20
dollars to Homer, saying,
"Fair's fair.  Here's your money."

Homer replied, "I can't take your money, I saw
this earlier on the 5 o'clock! news and knew he would jump."

 The blonde replied, "I did too; but I didn't
think he'd do it again."

Homer took the money .

 

Little Tony was staying with his grandmother for a
few days. He'd been playing outside with the other
kids for a while when he came into the house and
asked her, "Grandma, what is that called when 2
people are sleeping in the same room and one is on
top of the other?"
She was a little taken aback, but decided to tell
him the truth.
"It's called sexual intercourse, darling."
Little Tony just said, "Oh, OK" and went back
outside to talk and play with the other kids.
A few minutes later he came back in and said
angrily, "Grandma, it is not called sexual
intercourse!
It's called Bunk Beds!" ". And Jimmy's Mom wants to
talk to you right now."


Subject: love dress

A woman stopped by at her recently married son's house. She rang the doorbell and walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the daughter-in-law answered.

"But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed!

"This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained.

"Love dress? But you're naked!"

"My husband loves me to wear this dress," she explained. "It excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomes romantic and ravages me for hours on end. He can't get enough of me."

The mother-in-law left. When she got home, she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a r! romantic CD, and laid on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive. Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and saw her lying there so provocatively.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"This is my love dress," she whispered, sensually.

"Needs ironing," he said. "What's for dinner?"

 

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.  Do not walk ahead of me, for  I may not follow.   Do not walk beside me either.  Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

LAUGH FOR THE DAY!

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The
husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to takethe boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors and continues to readher book.

Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies. (thinking isn't that obvious?)

"You're in a restricted fishing area", he informs her.

"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading.

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.

"If you do, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I have not even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could
start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

... MORAL:

Never argue with a woman who reads. It is likely she can also think.

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1985. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always! been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet? (Sorry) Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list. Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading.

Save the earth. It's the only pla! net with chocolate.

Thoughts for the weekend


I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!

When I was young we used to go "skinny dipping," now I just "chunky dunk."

Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over?

My husband says I never listen to him. At least I think that's what he said.

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

A Pakistani arrives in New York City .    All excited, he stops the first person he meets. "Good day, Mr. American, thank you to accept me in your nice country, and... 

"The person interrupts and says: "I am not American, I'm Japanese." 

The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by: "Thank you Mr. American for to let my family and me stay
here..." 

Again, he is interrupted before finishing his sentence:  "I no be American, I be Turk!" 

The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by:  "Mr. American, me thank you for hospitality you give..." 

"But my friend, don't  you see that I am black? I am African, not American"

He goes a little farther and meets another American and greets him. "Thank you for letting me come to your beautiful country", but he says, "I'm not an American, I'm a Mexican" 

"But", answers the Pakistani distressed, "where are the Americans??" 

The African looks at his watch and says: "Oh, they all work 'til five.

Subject: HOW DO THEY SURVIVE??

 

ONE

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could

have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.

I asked for a half dozen nuggets.

"We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter.

"You don't?" I replied.

"We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply.

"So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right."

So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

 

TWO

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so

she could scan it.

Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?"

I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today."

She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue

to what had just happened.

 

THREE

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."

 

FOUR

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?"

"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked.

"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me.

As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

 

FIVE

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?"

"Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her.

With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

 

SIX

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had

set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

 

SEVEN

My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office

of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems

with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the

branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of

my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

 

EIGHT

Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal

colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine.

The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the

copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth.

Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

 

NINE

A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to

take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants.

The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be

fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....

Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency!
