NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat,
'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'
OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read,
'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'
KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.'
MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked,
'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'
POLICE # 1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old.
Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop?
Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report.
My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?'
'Yes, that's right,' I told her.
'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'
POLICE # 2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me.
'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked.
'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'
ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and
whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'
DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.' 'And why not, darling?' 'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.'
DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.
The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)
SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school.
'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!'
BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
'Mama, look what I found, ' the boy called out.
'What have you got there, dear?'
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'
This is weird, but interesting!

Peter Kay One Liners
1) I saw a fat woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said 'Thyroid problem?'
2) When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.

4) I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder.
5) I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
6) A cement mixer collided with a prison van on the Kingston Bypass. Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for 16 hardened criminals.
7) Well I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names. But one day I turned to my bullies and said 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked! >From there on it was sticks and stones all the way.
8) My Dad used to say 'always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade.
9) S*x is like playing bridge: If you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand.
10) I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough.'
11) If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?
12) I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.
13) You know that look women get when they want s*x? No, me neither
14) Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.
15) I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930s 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s !
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.
They
took
aspirin,
ate
blue
cheese,
raw
egg
products,
loads
of
bacon
and
processed
meat,
tuna
from
a
can,
and
didn't
get
tested
for
diabetes
or
cervical
cancer.
Then
after
that
trauma,
our
baby cots
were
covered
with
bright
coloured
lead-based
paints..
We
had
no
childproof
lids
on
medicine
bottles,
doors
or
cabinets
and
when
we
rode
our
bikes,
we
had
no
helmets
or
shoes,
not
to
mention
the
risks
we
took
hitchhiking.
As
children,
we
would
ride
in
cars
with
no
seat
belts
or
air
bags.
We
drank
water
from
the
garden
hose
and
NOT
from
a
bottle.
Take
away
food
was
limited
to
fish
and
chips,
no
pizza
shops,
McDonalds
,
KFC, Subway
or
Nandos.
Even
though
all
the
shops
closed
at 5.30pm
and
didn't
open
on
the
weekends,
somehow
we
didn't
starve
to
death!
We
shared
one
soft
drink
with
four
friends
from
one
bottle
and
NO
ONE
actually
died
from
this.
We
could
collect
old
drink
bottles
and
cash
them
in
at
the
corner
store
and
buy Toffees,
Gobstoppers,
Bubble
Gum
and
some bangers
to
blow
up
frogs
with.
We ate
cupcakes,
white bread
and real
butter and
drank soft
drinks with
sugar in it,
but we
weren't
overweight
because.......
WE WERE
ALWAYS
OUTSIDE
PLAYING!!
We would
leave home
in the
morning and
play all
day, as long
as we were
back when
the
streetlights
came on.
No one was
able to
reach us all
day. And we
were O.K..
We would
spend hours
building our
go-carts out
of old
prams and
then ride
down the
hill, only
to find out
we forgot
the brakes.
We built
tree houses
and dens and
played in
river beds
with Matchbox
cars.
We did not
have
Playstations,
Nintendo Wii
, X-boxes,
no video
games at
all, no 999
channels on
SKY ,
no video/dvd
films,
no mobile phones, no
personal computers, no
Internet or Internet chat
rooms..........WE HAD
FRIENDS and we went outside
and found them!
We fell out of trees, got
cut, broke bones and teeth
and there were no lawsuits
from these accidents.
Only girls had pierced ears!
We ate worms and mud pies
made from dirt, and the
worms did not live in us
forever.
You could only buy Easter
Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at
Easter time...
We were given air guns and
catapults for our 10th
birthdays
We rode bikes or walked to a
friend's house and knocked
on the door or rang the
bell, or just yelled for
them!
Mum didn't have to go to
work to help Dad
make ends meet!
RUGBY and CRICKET had
tryouts and not everyone
made the team. Those who
didn't had to learn to deal
with disappointment. Imagine
that!! Getting into the team
was based on
MERIT
Our teachers used to hit us
with canes and gym shoes and bullies always ruled
the playground at school. The idea
of a parent bailing us out if we
broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided
with the law!
Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their
kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and
'Vanilla'
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and
we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL !
And YOU
are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with
others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers
and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward
it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
!!!!!!
Kids!
The boss
wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not
phoned in sick one day. Needing to have an urgent problem with one
of the main computers resolved, he dialled the employee's home phone
number and was greeted with a child's whisper. ' Hello ? '
'Is your daddy home?' he asked.
' Yes ,'
whispered the small voice.
'May I talk with him?'
The child whispered, ' No .'
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is
your Mummy there?'
' Yes '
'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice whispered, ' No '
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the
boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'
' Yes , ' whispered the child, ' a policeman . '
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss
asked, 'May I speak with the policeman?'
' No, he's busy , ' whispered the child.
'Busy doing what?'
' Talking to Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman , ' came the whispered
answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background
through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, 'What is that
noise?'
'A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.
'What is going on there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, ' The search team just landed
a helicopter '
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are
they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle...
' ME . '
The
death of a real entertainer - the world in mourning
With all the sadness and
trauma going on in the world at the moment,
it is worth reflecting on the death of a
very important person, which almost
went unnoticed last week.
Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote 'The Hokie Cokey' died
peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his
family was getting him into the
coffin. They put his left leg in.... And then the trouble
started.
Making love
A
Frenchman and an Italian were seated next to an Englishman on an
overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing
their home lives. "Last night I made love to my wife four times,"
the Frenchman bragged "and this morning she made me delicious crepes
and she told me how much she adored me."
"Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the Italian
responded, "and this morning she made me a wonderful omelette and
told me she could
never love another man."
When the Englishman remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked,
"And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?"
"Once," he replied. "Only once?" the Italian arrogantly snorted.
"And what did she say to you this morning?" "Don't stop."

THE
BLONDE WHO MARRIED A CATHOLIC
On their honeymoon, the blonde bride slipped into a
sexy nightie and with great anticipation, crawled into bed, only to
find her new Catholic husband had settled down
on the couch. When she asked him why he was
apparently not going to make love to her, he
replied, 'It's Lent'. In tears, she sobbed,
'Well, that is the most ridiculous thing I've
ever heard! Who did you lend it to, and for
how long?"
A real
poker player
Two couples were playing poker one
evening. Jim accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he
bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed Bob's wife,
Sue wasn't wearing any underwear under her dress! Shocked by this,
Jim upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and
emerged red-faced. Later, Jim went to the kitchen to get some
refreshments. Bob's wife followed and asked, 'Did you see anything
that you like under there?' Surprised by her boldness, Jim admitted
that, well indeed he did. She said, 'Well, you can have it but it
will cost you $500.' After taking a minute or two to assess the
financial and moral costs of this offer, Jim confirms that he is
interested. Sue told him that since her husband Bob worked Friday
afternoons and Jim didn't, Jim should be at her house around 2 p.m.
Friday afternoon. When Friday rolled around, Jim showed up at Bob's
house at 2 p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 -
they went to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed.
Jim quickly dressed and left.
As usual, Bob came home from work at 6 p.m. And upon arriving, asked
his wife: 'Did Jim come by the house this afternoon?' With a lump in
her throat Sue answered 'Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes
this afternoon.' Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband
curtly asked, 'And did he give you $500?' Sue, using her best poker
face, replied, 'Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500.' Bob, with a
satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, 'He came
by the office this morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised
he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me
back.'
Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player !
This is so true, don't
forget it!!!!!!!!!!
A woman and a man are involved
in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of
their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt.
God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man
is yelling about women drivers. The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's
interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing
left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be
friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.'
Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign
from God! But you're still at fault...women shouldn't be allowed to drive.'
The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is
completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God
wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.'
She hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens
it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the
man.
The man asks, 'Aren't you
having any?'
The woman replies, 'No. I
think I'll just wait for the police...'
MORAL OF
THE STORY:
Women are clever, evil
bitches.
Don't mess with them.
Painting the Porch
A blonde teenager, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided
to hire herself out as a "handy-woman" and started canvassing a nearby
well-to-do neighbourhood. She went to the front
door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd
jobs for her to do. "Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,"
he said, "How much will you charge me?" Delighted, the girl quickly
responded, "How about £50?"
The man agreed and told her that the paint brushes and everything she would
need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation said to
her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the
house?"
He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" The wife replied, "You're
right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes we've
been getting by email lately."
Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're
finished already?" the startled husband asked..
"Yes, the blonde replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two
coats."
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the £50.00 and handed it to
her along with a £10.00 tip.
"And by the way, "the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."
THE PERFECT HUSBAND
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench
rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and begins to talk.
Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I am at the shopping centre now and found this beautiful leather
coat. It's only £1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure , go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2009
models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "£90,000"
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing...the house I wanted last year is back
on the market. They're asking £950,000"
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of £900,000. They will
probably take it. If not, we can go the extra fifty thousand if it's really
a pretty good price."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in
astonishment, mouths agape.
He turns and asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
TRAGEDY
Gordon Brown was visiting a primary school. In one class they were in the
middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher
asked Mr. Brown if he would like to lead the discussion on the word
'tragedy'.
So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a tragedy. A
little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is
playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be
a tragedy'.
No, said Gordon - that would be an accident'.
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children
drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy'.
'I'm afraid not,' explained Gordon, 'that's what we would call great loss'.
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Gordon searched the
room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'.
Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet
voice he said 'If a plane carrying you and Mr. Darling was struck by a
'friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy'.
'Fantastic!' exclaimed Gordon. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that
would be tragedy?'.
'Well,' says little Johnny 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly
wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a f***ing accident
either'.
Note Found on the Refrigerator One Morning
My Dear Wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54
years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you
as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you
will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with
my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset- I
shall be home before midnight.
When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the
dining room table:
My Dear Husband,
I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54
years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are
also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I
would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel
Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis
coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old.
PS: As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of math,
you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one
small difference - 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18.
Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.
He Said, I Said
He said to me .. . . I don't know why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to
put in it. I said to him . . . You wear pants don't you?
He said to me . . ...... Shall we try swapping positions tonight? She said
... That's a good idea - you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the
sofa and fart!
He said to me. ... What have you been doing with all the grocery money I
gave you? I said to him . .....Turn sideways and look in the mirror!
He said to me. ..... Why don't women blink during foreplay? I said to him
.... . They don't have time
He said to me. . How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?
I said to him .. . We don't know; it has never happened.
He said to me. ... Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring
and Good- looking? I said to him . . . They already have boyfriends.
I said...What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every
night? He said. . . A widow.
He said to me . . Why are married women heavier than single women?
I said to him . .. . Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go
to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.
Old Age, I decided, is a gift!!!!
I am now, probably for the first time in my
life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometimes
despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt.
And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror (who
looks like my mother or father!), but I don't agonise over those things for
long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family
for less grey hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind
to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.
I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed,
or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so
avante-garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be
extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they
understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM
and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 & 70's, and if
I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love .. I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body,
and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the
pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as
well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break
when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's
beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us
strength,understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine
and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning grey, and
to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could
turn silver. As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less
about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even
earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question , I like being old. It has set me free. I
like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I
am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or
worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day. (If
I feel like it).
MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM
THE HEART! MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE A RAINBOW OF SMILES ON YOUR FACE AND IN YOUR
HEART FOREVER AND EVER! FRIENDS FOREVER!

Getting older !!
Three old ladies
were sitting side by side in their retirement home in Ft. Lauderdale,
reminiscing.
The first lady recalled shopping at the green grocers and demonstrated with
her hands, the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.
The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and
cheaper too, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for
a penny apiece.
The third old lady remarked, "I can't hear a word you're saying, but I
remember the guy you're talking about."
********************************
A little old lady was sitting on a park bench in The Villages, a Florida
Adult community.
A man walks over and sits down on the other end of the bench.
After a few moments, the woman asks, "Are you a stranger here?"
He replies, "I lived here years ago."
"So, where were you all these years?"
"In prison," he says. "Why did they put you in prison?"
He looks at her, and very quietly says, "I killed my wife."
"Oh!" said the woman. "So you're single...?"
********************************
Two elderly people living in Ft. Myers, he was a widower and she a widow,
had known each other for a number of years. One evening there was a
community supper in the big arena in the Clubhouse. The two were at the same
table, seated across from one another. As the meal progressed, he took a few
admiring glances at her and finally gathered the courage to ask, "Will you
marry me?" After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered,
"Yes. Yes, I will!"
The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they went to their
respective places. Next morning, he was troubled. Did she say 'yes' or did
she say 'no'? He couldn't remember. Try as he might, he just could not
recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the telephone
and called her. First, he explained that he didn't remember as well as he
used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As he gained a little
more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say
'Yes' or did you say 'No'?" He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said,
'Yes, yes I will' and I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued,
"And I'm so glad you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."
********************************
A man was telling his neighbor in Miami , "I just bought a new hearing aid.
It cost me four thousand dollars, but its state of the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."
********************************
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to his doctor in Estero to get a physical.
A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a
gorgeous young woman on his arm. After a couple of days, the doctor spoke to
Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"
"Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma' and 'be cheerful'," Morris
replied. To which the doctor replied, "I didn't say that, Morris. I said,
'You've got a heart murmur, be careful!'"
********************************
A little old man shuffled slowly into the 'Orange Dipper,' an ice cream
parlor in Naples, and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.
After catching his breath he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"
"No," he replied, "hemorrhoids."

This has got to be one of the funniest things in a
long time. I think this guy should have been
promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the
Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a
recording monitoring the customer care department.
Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired;
however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect
organization for 'Termination without Cause'.
Actual dialogue of
a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now
I know why they record these conversations!):
Operator:
'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller:
'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator:
'What sort of trouble??'
Caller:
'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden
the words went away.'
Operator:
'Went away?'
Caller:
'They disappeared.'
Operator:
'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller:
'Nothing.'
Operator:
'Nothing??'
Caller:
'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I
type.'
Operator:
'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get
out??'
Caller:
'How do I tell?'
Operator:
'Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??'
Caller:
'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator:
'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the
screen?'
Caller:
'There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't
accept anything I type.'
Operator:
'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller:
'What's a monitor?'
Operator:
'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks
like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells
you when it's on??'
Caller:
'I don't know.'
Operator:
'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and
find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see
that??'
Caller:
'Yes, I think so..'
Operator:
'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if
it's plugged into the wall.
Caller:
'Yes, it is.'
Operator:
'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice
that there were two cables plugged into the back of
it, not just one??'
Caller:
'No.'
Operator:
'Well, there are. I need you to look back there
again and find the other cable.'
Caller:
'Okay, here it is.'
Operator:
'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged
securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller:
'I can't reach.'
Operator:
'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller:
'No.'
Operator:
'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and
lean way over??'
Caller:
'Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle
- it's because it's dark.'
Operator:
'Dark??'
Caller:
'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light
I have is coming in from the window.
' Operator: 'Well,
turn on the office light then.'
Caller:
'I can't.'
Operator:
'No? Why not??'
Caller:
'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A
power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got
it licked now.
Do you still have
the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your
computer came in??'
Caller:
'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator:
'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack
it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it
back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller:
'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator:
'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller:
'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell
them??'
Operator:
'Tell them you're too
flaming
stupid to own a computer!!!!!'

Life in the Australian Army...
Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland)
Dear Mum & Dad,
I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the farm - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am.. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!
At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the back paddock!!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody possum's bum and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of piss!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.
Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.
I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.
Your
loving
daughter,
Sheila

SALES - THE AUSTRALIAN APPROACH
A young Australian
lad
moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a Job. The manager asked "Do
you have any sales experience?" The young man Answered "Yeah,
I was a salesman back home." The manager liked the Aussie so
he gave him the job.
His first day on the job was challenging And busy, but he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked "OK, So how many
sales did you make today?"
The Aussie said
"One."
The manager groaned and continued "Just one? Our sales people average 20 Or 30
sales a day. How much was the sale for?" 124,237.64.
Pounds" The manager choked and exclaimed "124,237.64 POUNDS"
What the Hell did you sell him?"
"Well, first I sold him a small fish
hook, then a medium fish hook, and then I sold him a new fishing rod.
Then I asked him
where he was going fishing and he said down at
The Coast, so I told him he would need a boat, so we went down to the
Boat Department and
I sold him that twin-engine Power Cat. Then he
Said he Didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to car
Sales and I sold him
the 4 x 4 Suzuki".
The manager, incredulous, said
"You mean to tell me....a guy came in here
to buy a fish hook and you
Sold him a boat and
4x4?"
"No no no"......he came in here
to buy a box of Tampons for his lady friend and I said.........
'Well, since your
weekend's knackered, you might as well go fishing."
Computers vs. Cars
For all of us who feel only the
deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read
on.
At a recent computer expo
(COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto
industry and stated, 'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer
industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the
gallon.'
In response to Bill's comments,
General Motors issued a press release stating:
If GM had developed technology
like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics
(and I just love this part):
-
For no reason whatsoever,
your car would crash...Twice a day.
-
Every time they repainted the
lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
-
Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have
to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car,
restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some
reason you would simply accept this.
-
Occasionally, executing a
manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse
to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
-
Macintosh would make a car
that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as
easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
-
The oil, water temperature,
and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car
Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.
-
The airbag system would ask
'Are you sure?' before deploying.
-
Occasionally, for no reason
whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you
simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of
the radio antenna.
-
Every time a new car was
introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again
because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old
car.
-
You'd have to press the
'Start' button to turn the engine off
PS - I'd like to add that when
all else fails, you could call "customer service" in some foreign country and be
instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!!!
I did not know this; Las Vegas
Churches
accept gambling chips.
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.
YOU DIDN'T
EVEN SEE IT COMING DID YOU ?
The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New
York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at
the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six
floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the
flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose
to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the
building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a
husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor
1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor,
where the sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep
going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous and Help with
Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand
it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign
reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help
with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth
floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner
opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex, have money
and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never
been visited.
For the Ladies .......... One day my
housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweat-shirt. > Seconds after he
stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on
the washing machine?'
'It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your
shirt?'
He yelled back, 'University of Oklahoma.'
And they say blondes are dumb...
A couple are lying in bed. The man
says, 'I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world.'
The woman replies, 'I'll miss you...'
'It's just too hot to wear clothes today,'
Jack says as he stepped out of the shower, 'honey, what do you think the
neighbours would think if I mowed the lawn like this?'
'Probably that I married you for your money,' she
replied.
Q: What do you call an intelligent,
good looking, sensitive man?
A: A rumour
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to
understand my man; Love to forgive him; and Patience for his moods. Because,
Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death. AMEN.
Q: Why do little boys whine? A:
They are practicing to be men.
Q: What does it mean when a man is in your bed
gasping for breath and calling your name?
A: You did not hold the pillow down long enough.
Q: How do you keep your husband from reading your
e-mail?
A: Rename the mail folder 'Instruction Manual.'
Saturday morning
I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed
the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the
boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a
torrential down pour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the
garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the
weather would be bad throughout the day. I went back
into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into
bed.
There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a
different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out
there is terrible.'
My loving wife of 20 yrs replied, 'Can you believe my
stupid husband is out fishing in this lousy weather ?'
I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I
have stopped fishing.
My wife sat down
on the couch next to me as I was flipping the channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'
My wife was hinting
about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She
said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in
about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a scale.
When I got home
last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace
expensive. so, I took her to a gas station.
My wife and I were
sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept
staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat
alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend.
I understand she took to drinking right after we split
up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been
sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could
go on celebrating that long?'
I rear-ended a car
this morning. So, there
we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver
got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get
soooo stressed and little things just seem funny?
Yeah, well I couldn't believe it... he was a DWARF!
He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted,
'I AM NOT HAPPY!'
So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one
are you?'
When our lawn
mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me
that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had
something else to take care of first, the truck, the
car, playing golf. Always something more important to
me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the
tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of
sewing scissors.
I watched silently for a short time and then went into
the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out
again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, 'When you
finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the
driveway.'
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always
have a limp.

The Parrot
John received
a parrot as an early Christmas gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and
an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with
profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently
saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could
think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot
yelled back.
John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and shoved
him in the freezer.
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then
suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a
minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the
freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arm and said
'I
believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm
sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend
to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour.'
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in
his behaviour, the bird continued....
........"May I inquire as to what the turkey did to upset you?'
A young man walked into an agent's
office in Hollywood
and said, 'I want to be a movie star.'
Tall, handsome and, with experience on
Broadway, he had the right credentials.
The agent asked, 'What's your name?'
The guy said, 'My name is Penis van
Lesbian.'
The agent said, 'Sir, I hate to tell
you, but in order to get into Hollywood
, you are going to have to change your
name.'
'I will NOT change my name! The van
Lesbian name is centuries old. I will
not disrespect my grandfather by
changing my name.. Not ever.'
The agent said, 'Sir, I have worked in
Hollywood for years. You will NEVER go
far in Hollywood with a name like Penis
van Lesbian! I'm telling you, you will
HAVE TO change your name, or I will not
be able to represent you.'
'So be it! I guess we will not do
business together,' the guy said, and he
left the agent's office.
Five years later the agent opens an
envelope sent to his office. Inside the
envelope is a letter and a check for
$50,000. The agent is awe-struck. Who
would possibly send him $50,000? He
reads the letter enclosed...
'Dear Sir,
Five years ago, I came into your office
wanting to become an actor in Hollywood
.. You told me I needed to change my
name. Determined to make it with my
God-given birth name, I refused. You
told me I would never make it in
Hollywood with a name like Penis van
Lesbian. After I left your office, I
thought about what you said. I decided
you were right. I had to change my
name. I had too much pride to return to
your office, so I signed with another
agent. I would never have made it
without changing my name, so the
enclosed check is a token of my
appreciation.
Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely,
Dick van Dyke

VATICAN HUMOUR
After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into
the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver
notices the Pope is still standing on the curb.
'Excuse me, Your Holiness,' says the driver, 'Would you
please take your seat so we can leave?'
'Well, to tell you the truth,' says the Pope, 'they
never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal,
and I'd really like to drive today.'
'I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do
that. I'd lose my job! What if something should happen?'
protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work
that morning.
'Who's going to tell?' says the Pope with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope
climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets
his decision when, after exiting the airport, the
Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 kph.
(Remember, the Pope is German.)
'Please slow down, Your Holiness!' pleads the worried
driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until
they hear sirens.
'Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my
job!' moans the driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the
cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes
back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.
'I need to talk to the Chief,' he says to the
dispatcher.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that
he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.
'So bust him,' says the Chief.
'I don't think we want to do that, he's really
important,' said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed,' All the more reason!'
'No, I mean really important,' said the cop with a bit
of persistence.
The Chief then asked, 'Who do you have there, the
mayor?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: ' A senator?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: 'The Prime Minister?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
'Well,' said the Chief, 'who is it?'
Cop: 'I think it's God!'
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, 'What
makes you think it's God?'
Cop: 'His chauffeur is the Pope!'
Give me
a sense of humour, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humour out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.

In the beginning
God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow
and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy
lives.
Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And
Satan said, 'You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, 'Yes!' And Woman said,
'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'. And lo they gained 10 pounds.
And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man
found so fair.
And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and
combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.
So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'. And Satan presented Blue Cheese
dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their
belts following the repast.
God then said 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook
them'.
And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster
chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man's
cholesterol went through the roof.
Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with
potassium and good nutrition.
Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips
and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man
put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children
might lose those extra pounds.
And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have
to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the
flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.
Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still
satisfy his appetite.
And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said
'You want fries with that?' and Man replied, 'Yes, and super size 'em'. And
Satan said, 'It is good.' And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery.
And then ............ Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.
THE
FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION
After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on
nutrition and health.:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4.. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart
attacks than us.
6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer
heart attacks than us
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what
kills you.
