A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at

the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts
all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over
them.

His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him
what he is doing. The man says "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess
who?'" "But why?" asks the man. "I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.

A very rich lawyer is approached by the United Way. The man from the United Way
is concerned that the lawyer made over $1,000,000.00 last year but didn't donate even
a cent to a charity.

"First of all", says the lawyer, "my mother is sick and dying in the hospital, and it's
not covered by healthcare. Second, I had five kids through three divorced marriages.
Third, my sister's husband suddenly died and she has no one to support her four
children..."

"I'm terribly sorry", says the United Way man, "I feel bad about asking for money."

The Lawyer responds, "Yeah, well if I'm not giving them any money, why should I
give you any?"

TRAVELLER IN THE FAR EAST TRIES ORDERING BREAKFAST

Note: this story is about how two people using the English language build up
a fine example of miscommunication. Read it aloud to yourself, pronounce it
just the way this text is written.

One Sunday morning, the priest noticed that little Anthony was staring up at the large
plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.
The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on
either side of it. The ten year old boy had been staring at the plaque for some time, so
the priest walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning
Anthony."
"Good morning father," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.
"Father Murphy, what is this?" Anthony asked.
"Well, son, its a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."
Soberly they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Anthony's voice was barely audible when he asked,
"Which service, the 9:00 or the 10:30?"
The work week

Always give 100% at work.......

12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
20% on Thursday
5% on Fridays

Lets face it English is a stupid language.

There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted

But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don‘t fing.

If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn‘t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn‘t the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables

What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day
And as cold as hell on another

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy

Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers

And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn‘t a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this poem
It ends.

SIXTH SENSE

Two cowboys came upon an Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground.
One of the cowboys stops and says to the other, "You see that Indian?"
"Yeah," says the other cowboy.
"Look," says the first one, "He's listening to the ground. He can hear things for miles
in any direction."
Just then the Indian looks up. "Covered wagon," he says, "About two miles away.
Have two horses, one brown, one white. Man, woman, child, furniture in wagon ..."
"Incredible!" says the cowboy to his friend. "This Indian knows how far away they
are, how many horses, what color, what's in the wagon -- just amazing!"
The Indian looks up and says, "Ugh ... not amazing ... wagon ran ... over me ... 30
minutes ago!"

THE DRUG BUST

The phone rings at Federal Drug Enforcement Agency headquarters.

"Hello?"
"Hello, is this the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency?"
"Yes. What can we do for you?"
"I'm calling to report my neighbor Tom. He is hiding cocaine in his firewood."
"Thank you, this will be noted."
Next day, the Drug Enforcement agents come over to Tom's house. They search the
shed where the firewood is kept, break every piece of wood, find no cocaine, swear at
Tom and leave.
The phone rings at Tom's house. "Hey, Tom! Did the Federal Drug Enforcement guys
come by?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood for you?"
"Yeah, they did."
"Okay, now it's YOUR turn to call. I need my garden plowed."

All The Details....

A little woman called "Mount Sainai" Hospital. She said "Mount Sainai Hospital?
Hello, Dearie. I'd like to talk with the person who gives the information about the
patients. But I don't want to know if the patient is better or doing like expected, or
worse. I want all the information from top to bottom, soup to nuts, from A to Z."
The voice on the other line said, "Would you hold the line please, that's quite an
unusual request."
Then a very authoritative voice came on and said, "Are you the lady who is calling
about one of the patients?"
She said, "Yes, dearie! Thank you! Now, I'd like to know the information about
Serena Hossleberg in Room 622."
He said, "OK give me minute to bring up that file..."
Ok here we are... Now, Mrs. Hossleberg is doing very well. In fact, she's had two full
meals, her doctor says if she continues improving as she is, he is going to send her
home next Thursday."
The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! She's going home next Thursday!
I'm so happy to hear that. That's wonderful, wonderful news!"
The guy on the other end says, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be one of
the close family."
She said, "What close family? I AM Serena Hossleberg!! My silly doctor just won't
tell me anything."

A ninety-year-old man is sitting on a park bench, sobbing, when a young man walks
by and asks him what's wrong.
Through his tears the old man answers, "I'm just so in love with my twenty-five-year-
old wife."
"What's wrong with that?" asks the young man.
Between the sobs and sniffles, he answers, "You can't understand. Every morning
before she goes to work, she cooks me breakfast and kisses me and tells me she loves
me ... at lunchtime she comes home and embraces me warmly, and then she makes my
favorite meal. In the afternoon when she gets a break, she rushes home with ice
cream, the best an old man could want. And then after a gourmet supper, she gives me
a warm bath, and cuddles up with me all night."
He breaks down, no longer able to speak.
The young man puts his arm around him. "Oh, I think I see - I bet you just found out
she's with you for your money?"
"No," the old man answers through his sobbing and tears, "I forgot where I live."

HELL ANALYZED
This was an "actual question" given on a University of Washington chemistry
midterm.

Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your
answer with proof.

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off
when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know
the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we
can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls
are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not
a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that
all people and all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can
expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate
of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for
temperature and the pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to
expand as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the
temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until All Hell breaks loose. 
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it? 
If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman
year, that "It will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into
account the fact that I still have not succeeded in that area, then (2) cannot be true, and
so Hell is exothermic.

This student got the only A.

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven where they are met by St. Peter at the pearly
gates.
St. Peter says "Ladies, you all led such wonderful lives, that I'm granting you six
months to go back to Earth and be anyone you want". 
The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren" and POOF she's gone. 
The second says, "I want to be Madonna" and POOF she's gone. 
The third says, "I want to be Sara Pipalini". 
St. Peter looks perplexed. "Who?" he says. 
"Sara Pipalini" replies the nun. 
St. Peter shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry, that name just doesn't ring a bell." The
nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter. He reads the
paper and starts laughing. "No Sister, he laughs, this says 'Sahara Pipeline, laid by 500
men in 7 days'!"

An elderly woman went into the doctor`s office. When the doctor asked why she was
there, she replied: "I`d like to have some birth-control pills." 
Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said: "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith,
but you`re 72 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?" 
The woman responded: "They help me sleep." 
The doctor thought some more and continued: "How in the world do birth control pills
help you to sleep?" 
The woman said: "I put them in my granddaughter`s orange juice every morning and I
sleep better at night!"

John Paul II in an interview: 

"I went to America. They asked me: Why do You come to America? 
I said: I come to America to polish my English. 
So they said to me: Your English is polish enough!"

Jake the inventor is struggling through the air terminal with two huge and obviously
heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up to him and ask "Have you got the time?"
Jake sighs, puts down the suitcases and glances at his wrist. "Its a quarter to six" he
says.
Hay, that's a pretty fancy watch" exclames the stranger. Jake brightens a little. "Yeah,
it's not bad. I've been working on it for months - Check this out" - and he shows him
the time zone display, not just for every time zone in the world, but for the 86 largest
cities in the world. He hits a few buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice
says "the time is eleven till six" in a Cape Cod accent. A few more buttons and the
same voice says something in Spanish then Japanese. Jake continues "Ive also put in
regiona accents for each city". The dislplay is unbelievably high quality and the voice
is simply astounding.
The stranger is struck dumb with admiration. "Thats not all" says Jake. He pushes a
few more buttons and a tiny but very high-resolution map of New York City appears
on the display. " The flashing dot shows our location by satellite positioning" explains
Jake. "View recede ten", Jake says, and the dispaly changes to show eastern New
York State. "I want to buy this watch" Says the stranger.
"Oh,no, its not ready for sale yet; I'm still working out the bugs." "But look at this",
and he proceeds to demonstrate that the watch is also a very creditable little FM radio
receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device that can mesure distances up to 125
meters, a pager with thermal paper printout, and most impressive of all, the capacity
for voice recording of up to 300 standard-sized books. "though I only have 32 of my
most favorites in there so far" says Jake.
"I've got to have that watch" says the stranger.
"No, you don't understand; its not ready"
"I'll give you $1,000 for it".
"Oh, no, I've already spent more that than--"
"I'll give you $5,000 for it!"
"But its just not-"
"I'll give you $15,000 for it!" And the stranger pulls out a checkbook' Jake stops to
think. He's only put about $8,500 into materials and development, and with $15,000
he can make another one and have it ready for merchandising in only six months. The
stranger frantically finishes writing the check and waves it in front of him. "Here it is,
ready to hand to you right here and now. $15,000. Take it or leave it."
Jake abruptly makes his decision. "OK", he says, and peels off the watch.
They make the exchange and the stranger starts happily away. "Hay, wait a minute",
calls Jake to the stranger, who turns around warily. Jakes points to the two suitcases
he'd been trying to werstle through the terminal.
"Don't forget your hard drive and batteries".

Brain transplant

The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists had to say. "Things don't
look good. The only chance is a brain transplant. This is an experimental procedure. It
might work, but the bad news is that brains are very expensive, and you will have to
pay the costs yourselves."
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives.
"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000."
Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men nodded
because they thought they understood.
A few actually smirked.
But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price
between male brains and female brains?"
"A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team. "Women's brains have to be
marked down because they have actually been used."

Stateforms

OK here are a few business/government terms made easy,I hope it increases your
understanding of todays, technical and complex society.

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of
them, and sells you the milk.

PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbours help you take care of
them, and then you all share the milk.

DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

NIGERIAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government takes both, shoots
you and sends the cows to Zurich.

MILITARISM: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you.

SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government fines you for
keeping unlicensed farm animals in an apartment.

PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbours decide who gets the
milk.

REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbours pick

someone to tell you who gets the milk.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you
vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow
futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate". The cow sues you for breach of contract.
BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheep's brains and
they go mad. The government does nothing.

EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates
what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk
them. After that, it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the
drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your
publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the
bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get
all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six
cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company
secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the right to all seven cows' milk
back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows,
with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because of bad feng
shui.

TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies
they ever existed. Milk is banned.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of "ownership"

is a symbol of the phallocentric, warmongering intolerant past) two differently aged
(but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender.

COUNTERCULTURE: Wow, dude, there's like .... these two cows, man. You have
got to have some of this milk.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take
harmonica lessons.

A town in Poland had only one cow and it stopped giving milk. The townspeople did
a little research and discovered they could get a cow from Moscow for 2000 rubles -
or one from Minsk for only 1000 rubles. So, naturally, --- they got the cow from
Minsk.
It was a great cow: had a wonderful disposition, and gave lots of milk and lots of
cream. Everybody loved it dearly. The people decided they would mate the cow and
get more cows like it, and then they would never have to worry about their milk
supply again.
So they got a bull and led the cow and the bull into the pasture.When the bull came in
from the right to mount the cow, the cow moved to the left. When the bull moved in to
mount the cow from the left, the cow moved to the right. This went on all day.
Finally, in desperation, the people decided to go ask the rabbi what to do. After all he
was very wise. They told him the story. "Rabbi, we've tried all day to mate our cow.
When the bull moves in from the right the cow moves left and when the bull moves in
from the left the cow moves to the right. What do we do?"
The Rabbi thought a moment and asked, "Did you buy this cow from Minsk?"
"Rabbi!" they replied as one, "You are so wise! We never said we bought the cow
from Minsk. How did you know that?"
The Rabbi said, sadly, "My wife is from Minsk."

Nominated for quote of the year is the statement made by Representative Dick Armey,
who when asked if he were in the President's (Clinton's) place, would he resign,
responded:
"If I were in the President's place, I would not get a chance to resign. I would be lying
in a pool of my own blood hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, 'How do I
reload this damned thing?"

Two aliens land in Metro Detroit, and they happen to land next to a gas station.
So, the aliens waddle out of their ship and look around. The first thing they see that
resembles a human being is the gas pump. The two aliens approach and the first one
says "Earthling, take me to your leader!" Of course he gets no response...
The first alien looks at his buddy then addresses the pump again. "Earthling, I said
take me to your leader!" Of course, still no response... The alien then turns to his
buddy and says "If this Earthling doesn't show me some respect and at least
acknowledge me, I'm going to blast him!"
At that the second alien replies, "OK. I'm just going to stand down on the next block."
The first Alien looks a little puzzled, but waits for the other to waddle to the next
block. He then addresses the pump a third time. "Earthling take me to your leader!"
Still nothing.
So the alien then pulls out his ray gun and vaporizes the pump...
The gas station goes up in a huge explosion, blowing the alien all the way down the
block to his buddy. He gets up, dusts himself off, and turns to the second Alien. "If
you knew that was going to happen why didn't you warn me!?"
The second replies "Well, I didn't know exactly *what* was going to happen. But
there's no way I'm gonna' mess with a guy whose penis hangs to the ground, wraps
around his body twice, and is still long enough to stick in his left ear!"

The following advisory for American travelers heading for France was compiled from
information provided by the US State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency,
the US Chamber of Commerce, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for
Disease Control, and some very expensive spy satellites that the French don't know
about. It is intended as a guide for American travelers only.

General Overview

France is a medium-sized foreign country situated in the continent of Europe. It is an

important member of the world community, though not nearly as important as it
thinks. It is bounded by Germany, Spain, Switzerland and some smaller nations of no
particular consequence and with not very good shopping.

France is a very old country with many treasures, such as the Louvre and EuroDisney.
Among its contributions to western civilization are champagne, Camembert cheese
and the guillotine.

Although France likes to think of itself as a modern nation, air conditioning is little
used and it is next to impossible to get decent Mexican food. One continuing
exasperation for American visitors is that the people willfully persist in speaking
French, many will speak English if shouted at. As in any foreign country, watch your
change at all times.

The People

France has a population of 54 million people, most of whom drink and smoke a great
deal, drive like lunatics, are dangerously oversexed, and have no concept of standing
patiently in line. The French people are in general gloomy, temperamental, proud,
arrogant, aloof, and undisciplined; and those are their good points.

Most French citizens are Roman Catholic, though you would hardly guess it from
their behavior. Many people are communists, and topless sunbathing is common. Men
sometimes have girls' names like Marie, and they kiss each other when they hand out
medals.

American travelers are advised to travel in groups and to wear baseball caps and
colorful trousers for easier mutual recognition.
Safety

In general, France is a safe destination, though travelers are advised that, from time to
time, it is invaded by Germany. By tradition, the French surrender more or less at
once and, apart from a temporary shortage of Scotch whisky and increased difficulty
in getting baseball scores and stock market prices, life for the visitor generally goes on
much as before.

A tunnel connecting France to Britain beneath the English Channel has been opened
in recent years to make it easier for the Government to flee to London.

History

France was discovered by Charlemagne in the Dark Ages. Other important historical
figures are Louis XIV, the Huguenots, Joan of Arc, Jacques Cousteau and Charles de
Gaulle, who was President for many years and is now an airport.

Government

The French form of government is democratic but noisy. Elections are held more or
less continuously, and always result in a run-off. For administrative purposes, the
country is divided into regions, departments, districts' municipalities, cantons,
communes, villages, cafes, booths, and floor tiles.

Parliament consists of two chambers, the Upper and Lower (though, confusingly, they
are both on the ground floor), whose members are either Gaullists or communists,
neither of whom is to be trusted, frankly. Parliament's principal preoccupations are
setting off atomic bombs in the South Pacific, and acting indignant when anyone
complains.

According to the most current State Department intelligence, the President now is
someone named Jacques. Further information is not available at this time.

Culture

The French pride themselves on their culture, though it is not easy to see why. All
their songs sound the same, and they have hardly ever made a movie that you would
want to watch for anything but the nude scenes. And nothing, of course, is more
boring than a French novel.

Cuisine
Let's face it, no matter how much garlic you put on it, a snail is just a slug with a shell
on its back. Croissants, on the other hand, are excellent, though it is impossible for
most Americans to pronounce this word. In general, travelers are advised to stick to
cheeseburgers at leading hotels such as Sheraton and Holiday Inn.

Economy

France has a large and diversified economy, second only to Germany's in Europe,
which is surprising because people hardly work at all. If they are not spending four
hours dawdling over lunch, they are on strike and blocking the roads with their trucks
and tractors. France's principal exports, in order of importance to the economy, are
wine, nuclear weapons, perfume, guided missiles, champagne, high-caliber weaponry,
grenade launchers, land mines, tanks, attack aircraft, miscellaneous armaments and
cheese.

Public Holidays

France has more holidays than any other nation in the world. Among its 361 national
holidays are 197 saints' days, 37 National Liberation Days, 16 Declaration of
Republic Days, 54 Return of Charles de Gaulle in Triumph as if he Won the War
Single-Handed Days, 18 Napoleon Sent into Exile Days, 17 Napoleon Called Back
from Exile Days, and 112 France is Great and the Rest of the World is Rubbish Days.

Other important holidays are National Nuclear Bomb Day January 12), the Feast of
St. Brigitte Bardot Day (March 1), and National Guillotine Day (November 12).

Conclusion

France enjoys a rich history, a picturesque and varied landscape, and a temperate
climate. In short, it would be a very nice country if it weren't inhabited by French
people. The best thing that can be said for it is that it is not Germany.

A Word of Warning

The consular services of the United States government are intended solely for the
promotion of the interests of American businesses such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut and
the Coca-Cola Corporation. In the event that you are the victim of a crime or serious
injury involving at least the loss of a limb, report to the American Embassy between
the hours of 5.l5 am and 5.20 am on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and a consular official
who is supremely indifferent to your plight will give you a list of qualified dentists or
something similarly useless.
Remember, no one ordered you to go abroad. Personally, we always take our holidays

A mother, father and young son are visiting the circus. The elephants walk out into the
circus ring and the little boy says to his mother:
"What's that?" "That's the elephant's tail," she replies. 
"No, under the tail," says the youngster. The mother is clearly embarrassed and says,
"Oh, nothing." 
The boy turns to his father and repeats the same question. His father looks and says,
"That's the elephant's penis, son."
"So, why did mum say it was nothing?" asks the boy. The father draws himself up to
his full height and says:
"Son, I've spoiled that woman."

A tourist from Albegestan goes on his first overseas trip. Upon arriving, he is visibly
puzzled filling his visa application. The border official looks over his shoulder, and
sees the tourist trying to write 'Twice a week' into the small space labeled 'SEX'. 
The official explains: "No, no, no. That is not what we mean by this question. We are
asking 'Male' or 'Female'".
"Doesn't matter", the tourist answers.

A young man truly in love with his girlfriend decided to have her name tattooed on his
penis, her name was Wendy, and the tattoo was done while the penis was erect, so
when it was not erect all you could see was W Y. 
Shortly after the couple was married they were honeymooning in Jamaica the man
was in a bathroom in Jamaica, and standing next to him was a Jamaican man who also
had a W Y on his penis. 
The American said to him "Oh is your girl named Wendy too?" 
The Jamaican replied, "No, Mr. that says Welcome To Jamaica Have a Nice Day".

A guy and a girl met at a bar. They started getting along really well they decide to go
to the girl's place for a drink.
A few drinks later, the guy took off his shirt and washed his hands. He then took off
his socks and washed his hands.
The girl looked at him and says: 'You must be a dentist!'
Flabergasted, the guy responded 'Yes, that's amazing how did you figure that out ?'
The girl said: 'Easy .... you keep washing your hands'
One thing led to another, they migrated to the bed and things became more passionate.
After they were done, the girl said: 'You must be a GREAT dentist!'
The guy was very very surprised, and said 'Yes, I sure am a great dentist ... How did
you figure that out??'
The girl said: 'Easy ... I didn't feel a thing'

A WW II American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three months,
when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a supply boat to a supply base
in the south of England, then caught a train to London. The train was extremely
crowded and he could not find a seat. He was dead on his feet and walked the length
of the train looking for any place to sit down.

Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was room for two
people on each seat. On one side sat only a proper looking, older British lady, with a
small dog sitting in the empty seat beside her. "Could I please sit in that seat" he
asked. The lady was insulted; "you Americans are so rude" she said, "can't you see my
dog is sitting there"? He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat.
He found himself back at the same place. "Lady, I love dogs - have a couple at home -
so I would be glad to hold your dog if I can sit down" he said. The lady replied "you
Americans are not only rude you are arrogant" she said. He leaned against the wall for
a time, but was so tired he finally said "lady, I've been on the front lines in Europe for
three months with not a decent rest for all that time; could I please sit there and hold
your dog?" The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you are
also obnoxious."

With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog, threw it out the
widow, and sat down. The lady was speechless. An older, neatly dressed Englishman
sitting across on the other seat spoke up. "Young man, I do not know if all you
Americans fit the lady's description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans
do a lot of things wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your fork
with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bitch out of the
window."

Tower: "Say fuelstate."

Pilot: "fuelstate."
Tower: "Say again."
Pilot: "again."
Tower: "Arghl, give me your fuel!"
Pilot: "Sorry, need it by myself..."

Pilot: "Jones tower, Cessna 12345, student pilot, I am out of fuel." 

Tower: "Roger Cessna 12345, reduce airspeed to best glide!! Do you have the airfield
in sight?!?!!" 
Pilot: "Uh...tower, I am on the south ramp; I just want to know where the fuel truck
is."

"What's the purpose of the propeller?"

"To keep the pilot cool. If you don't think so, just stop it and watch him sweat!"

If God had meant man to fly, He would have given him more money.

A drunk that smelled like a brewery got on a bus one day. He sat down next to a
priest. The drunk's shirt was stained, his face was full of bright red lipstick and he had
a half empty bottle of wine sticking out of his pocket. 
He opened his newspaper and started reading --- a couple of minutes later he asked
the priest, "Father what causes arthritis?" 
"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women, too much
alcohol and contempt for your fellow man." 
"Well I'll be damned", the drunk muttered and returned to reading his paper. The
priest, thinking about what he said turned to the man and apologized. 
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong --- how long have you had arthritis?" 
"I don't, father, I was just reading in the paper that the Pope has it"

Pilot: (...) Tower, call me a fuel truck.

Tower: Roger, you are a fuel truck.

A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department

store. In fact it was the biggest store in the world - you could get
anything there.

The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before? "Yes", I
was a salesman in the country", said the lad. The boss liked the cut
of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll come and see you
when we close up".

The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock
came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did
you make today?". "One" said the young salesman. "Only one" blurted
the boss, "Most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was
the sale worth??. "Three hundred thousand, three hundred and thirty
four dollars" said the young man.

"How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.

"Well", said the salesman "this man came in and I sold him a small
fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I
sold him a small fishing line, a medium one and a huge big one. I
asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast. I
said he would probably need a boat, so I took him down to the boat
department and sold him that twenty foot schooner with the twin
engines.

Then he said his Volkswagon probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I

took him to the car department and sold him the new Deluxe Land
Cruiser"

The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You sold all
that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?"

"No" answered the salesman. He came in to buy a box of Tampons for

his wife and I said to him, "Sounds like the weekend's a loss, you may
as well go fishing".
One dark night outside a small town, a fire started inside the
local chemical plant. Before long it exploded into flames
and an alarm went out to fire departments from miles around.
After fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical
company president approached the fire chief and said, "All of our
secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the
plant. They must be saved! I will give $50,000 to the engine company
that brings them out safely!"

As soon as the chief heard this, he ordered the firemen to strengthen

their attack on the blaze. After two more hours of attacking the fire,

the president of the company offered $100,000 to the engine

company that could bring out the company's secret files.

From the distance a long siren was heard and another fire truck
came into sight. It was a local volunteer fire company composed
entirely of men over 65. To everyone's amazement the little fire
engine raced through the chemical plant gates and drove straight
into the middle of the inferno. In the distance the other firemen
watched as the old timers hopped off of their rig and began to fight
the fire with an effort that they had never seen before.

After an hour of intense fighting the volunteer company had

extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas.

Joyous the chemical company president announced that he would

double the reward to $200,000 and walked over to
personally thank each of the volunteers. After thanking each of the
old men individually the president asked the group
what they intended to do with the reward money. The fire truck driver
looked him right in the eye and said, "The first
thing we're going to do is fix the damn brakes on that truck!"

Five surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their
work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate
on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered."

The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on.
You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order."

The Third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up
and everything inside is color-coded."

The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless,
spineless, gutless, and their heads and their butts are
interchangeable."

Fifth surgeon said, "I like Engineers...they always understand when

you have a few parts left over at the end..."

The evolution of education:

A farmer sells a bag of potatoes for $100. Production costs used 4/5
of the sales price. What was his profit?
Traditional teaching in the 70’s:
A farmer sells a bag of potatoes for $100. Production costs used 4/5
of sales price, that is, $80. How much was his profit?

Modern teaching in the 70’s:

A farmer exchanges a set "P" of potatoes for a set "M" of money. The
order of the set "M" is 100 and each element is worth $1. Make a draw
of 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C" of
the production costs has 20 dots less than the set "M", so answer now
the next question:
What is the order of the set "B" of profits? (draw its elements in
red).

New teaching system of the 80’s:

A farmer sells a bag of potatoes for $100. Since the production costs
were $80, the profit was $20.
Now, underline the word "potatoes" and discuss it with your class
neighbor.

Reformed system of the 80’s

A privileged Kapitalist steels injustly $20 over a beg of patatous
analize the text and find out gramatik. ortografy and ponctuation
erros and say something about dis process of getting reach.

Computer Aided Instruction in the 90’s:

A sells engineer of an agriculture facility consults the Agro-BBS
which he accesses through a PS/2 running OS/2 (50Mb hard disk, 4Mb 80
ns RAM, 25 MHz 80386) to find out the current day’s price of potatoes.
He introduces the value in his spreadsheet program, analyses linear
regression tendencies in his FARMMANAGER expert system, and after
seeing the results in his new VGA-compatible multisync monitor, and
saving the results in the disk (not forgetting to back up the data) he
outputs the result to a color laser printer (using Post Script).

Make a drawing with your mouse of the 3-D integrated contour of a bag
of potatoes. Next, log into the Agro-BBS and follow the instructions
of the menu.

Thursday."

Yeltsin makes an announcement to the Russian people and says "Brave

comrades, I have bad news and bad news. The first bad news is that
 we've been wrong all these years -- there really is a God. The other
bad news is that he is destroying the world on Thursday."

Bill Gates calls a board meeting of Microsoft. "I have good news and
more good news!" he tells them. "The first good news is that God
called a meeting of the three people he thinks are the most important

Winter in Bonn. Kohl is walking through the snow-covered garden of the

chancellor-office. Suddenly he sees that somebody has peed the word
"Birne" into the snow. (Birne=pear is Kohl's mockery name in Germany).
Kohl is very angry of course. He gives the order to the BKA (Germany's
FBI) to find out who did it. Days, weeks and months are passing and
nothing happens. Then Kohl phones to the BKA to ask what is going on.
The officer there answers:"Well, we do have some problems. The result
of the examination of the urine was that Klaus Kinkel did it. But the
graphologists found out that the hand writing was without any doubt
from your wife."

Two hunters are hunting deer in the Western USA. They spot some deer on a
farmer's land and they decide to go ask the farmer if he will let them
hunt on his land. Only one of the guys goes to ask.

He says, "Sir, we noticed you got some deer on your land and we wondered
if you would allow us to hunt them?"

The farmer says, "Sure, no problem. But on one condition. I got this old
horse that's real sick and just about ready to die. I'd appreciate one of
you fella's shootin him for me. I just can't bring myself to do it."

The hunter says that it won't be a problem. On the way back to the pickup
he thinks to himself, "I'm gonna screw around with my buddy."

He walks up to the pickup and says, "That SOB won't let us hunt his land.
You know what, I'm gonna shoot his horse." At this point, the first
hunter pulls out his gun and shoots the farmer's horse.
The second guy, so caught up in the emotion says, "Yeah, that SOB!" and he
starts shooting the farmer's cows.

Two racehorses were sitting in a bar one day reminiscing over their
past triumphs. Both had been very successful but had recently lost form.

"I was OK until three weeks ago", said the white horse, "I was ahead
of the field in the last race at Kempton Park, leading by six lengths as
we came into the final straight, and then I got this incredible searing
pain all the way down my back and I stumbled and fell. Ever since then
I havn't been able to run at all."

"It's funny you should say that", said the black horse, "because I
was running in the last race at Haydock Park two weeks ago, and the same
thing happened to me. I was ahead of the field by five lengths, and as
we rounded the final bend I suddenly felt this intense stabbing pain all
the way down my back, and I stumbled and fell. I havn't been able to run
since then either".

"Excuse me", said a greyhound who was sitting at the bar beside the
white horse. "I couldn't help but overhear what you have been talking
about. I was running in the last race at Deptford last week, leading by
four lengths, and as we came into the final straight I got an intense
pain down my back and I stumbled and fell. I have hardly been able to
walk since then."

"Cor! Blimey!", said the white horse, "It's absolutley incredible.

Who would have believed it? A *talking* dog!"

Jewish jokes:
A rabbi and a priest get into a car accident and it's a bad one. Both
cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt.
After they crawl out of their cars, the rabbi sees the priest's collar
and says, "So you're a priest. I'm a rabbi. Just look at our cars.
There's nothing left, but we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God.
God must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together
in peace the rest of our days."

The priest replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a
sign from God."

The rabbi continues, "And look at this. Here's another miracle. My car is
completely demolished but this bottle of Mogen David wine didn't break.
Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."
Then he hands the bottle to the priest. The priest agrees, takes a few
big swigs, and hands the bottle back to the rabbi. The rabbi takes the
bottle, immediately puts the cap on, and hands it back to the priest. The
priest asks, "Aren't you having any?" The rabbi replies, "No...I think
I'll wait for the police."

Three Jews were sitting on the beach in Miami. One of them said,
"Oy, gevalt! I was almost wiped out in mein business in Brooklyn, but I
had a fire and insurance took care of everything."
"Funny you should mention that," said the second Jew. "I too was
beink almost bankrupted by mein business in Flatbush, but I had a big
burglary and the insurance took care of everything."
"Funny you should mention that," said the third Jew. "I as well
was beink complete viped out in mein business in Crown Heights, but I had
a big flood and the insurance took care of everything."
The other two Jews stared at him with interest. "So," said the
first one after a while, "How do you arrange for a flood?"

Q:"What is the Jewish Mother's position regarding

when a fetus becomes a human being?"
A:"When it graduates medical school".

A priest and a rabbi were talking when the rabbi asked the
priest about confession. "I have an idea," said the priest.
Why don't you sit with me on my side of the confession booth
and hear it for yourself? No one will ever know.

A woman came into the booth and said, "Bless me Father for I
have sinned." The priest asked, "What did you do?"

"I cheated on my husband."

"How many times?"

"Three times."

"Well," said the priest, "Say 5 Hail Marys and put 5 dollars
in the offering box."

Another woman came and said, "Bless me Father for I have

sinned." The priest asked, "What did you do?"

"I cheated on my husband."

"How many times?"

"Three times."

Again the priest said, "Say 5 Hail Marys and put 5 dollars in
the offering box." Then the priest said to the rabbi, "would
you like to do the next confession?" The rabbi started to
object, but the priest said, "Go ahead. It's easy."

So another woman came in and said, "Bless me Father for I have

sinned." This time the rabbi asked, "What did you do?"

"I cheated on my husband."

"How many times?"

The woman said, "Twice."

Then the rabbi said, "Well go do it again. They're 3 for 5

dollars today.

The Pope's Visit to the United States

When the Pope got off the plane, there was a beautiful limo
there waiting for him. His holiness went over to the limo
driver and told him that he had never driven a limo before,
and he wanted to try it. The limo driver said OK.... (of
course!)
The pope went driving around the city, and drove the wrong
way down a one-way street. Two cops in a cruiser stopped
the limo, and the first cop went up to talk to the driver,
and the second stayed in the car.
Soon the first cop came back, looking a little pale.
"I can't give this guy a ticket", said the first cop.
"Why not? He drove the wrong way down a one-way street!",
replied the second cop.
"Yes, but this guy's important!", responded cop1
"Well, is he more important than the mayor?", asked cop2.
"Oh yeah, he's more important than the mayor.", said cop1.
"Is he more important than the governor?", asked cop2.
"Yeah, he's more important than the governor.", replied
cop1.
"Well, is he more important than the PRESIDENT of the
UNITED STATES!?!", asked cop2.
"Oh yeah, he's much more important than the PRESIDENT of
the UNITED STATES!", replied cop1.
Rather annoyed, cop2 asks, "Who the heck IS this guy that's
more important than the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!?!"
To this, cop1 replied, "Well, the POPE is driving,
YOU figure out who's in the BACK SEAT!!!!!

A lady approaches a priest and tells him, "Father, I have

a problem. I have these two talking female parrots, but
They only say "Hi, we are prostitutes. Do you want to have some
FUN?'"

"That's terrible!", the priest exclaimed, "Bring your two talking

female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two
male talking parrots who I have taught to pray and read
the Bible, then my parrots will teach your parrots to stop
saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn
to pray and worship."

So the next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the
priest's house. The priest's two male parrots are holding
rosary beads and praying in their cage.
The lady puts her female talking parrots in and they say, "Hi, we are
prostitutes! Do you want to have some FUN?"

One male parrot looks over to the other male parrot and
says, "PUT THE BIBLES AWAY! OUR PRAYERS HAVE
BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!"

A desperate young mother had two incorrigible boys. Having exhausted

all suggestions for controlling the little hellions, she tried one
last approach: she took them to the meanest preacher in town for a
lecture.

First the older boy was admitted into the stern minister's study.

Glaring at the boy from behind the desk, the preacher waited a few
moments, then challenged the boy: "Young man, where is God?"

The boy was stunned to silence.

The preacher rose part way out of his chair and repeated the question:
"I asked you, Where Is God?"

The boy began to quake with dread .... this was no ordinary lecture
for being bad!

Stepping around from behind the desk, the impassioned preacher now
shouted his question, "WHERE IS GOD!?"

At this, the boy leaped from his chair and bolted out the door,
running headlong into his little brother.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" his brother asked. ........."It's

awful! The church has LOST GOD and they're BLAMING US!
