     So, I’m at a bar and two very large women with accents are sitting across from me. I say, “Cool accents, are you two ladies from Scotland?”
     One of them yells, “It’s Wales, you idiot.”
     “So I said, “OK are you two Whales from Scotland?”
     I don’t remember much after that.

     Jack, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down next to this blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV...
     The 10:00 news was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Jack and said, 'Do you think he'll jump?' Jack says, 'You know what, I bet he will.' The blonde replied, 'Well, I bet he won't.' Jack placed $30 on the bar and said, 'You're on!'
     Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset and handed her $30 to Jack, saying, 'Fair's fair... Here's your money.' Jack replied, 'I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump.
     'The blonde replies, 'I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again.' Jack took the money..

     A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: the captain’s parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show – “Look, it’s not the same hat?” or, “Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table?” or “Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?”
     The magician was furious but couldn’t do anything. It was, after all, the captain’s parrot. Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board. The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, and, as fate would have it, with the parrot. They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and then 2 days, and then 3 days.
     Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said, “OK, I give up. Where’s the damn ship?”

     Mrs. Castranova comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner. He lives with a female roommate, Maria. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn’t help but notice how lovely Anthony’s roommate is. Throughout the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than met the eye.
     Reading his mom’s thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Maria and I are just roommates.’’
     About a week later, Maria came to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I’ve been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don’t suppose she took it, do you?"
     "Well, I doubt it but I’ll email her, just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote an email: Dear Mama, I’m not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house; I’m not saying that you "did not" take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Your Loving Son, Anthony
     A few days later, Anthony received a response email from his Mama which read: Dear son, I’m not saying that you "do" sleep with Maria, and I’m not saying that you "do not" sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.

While enjoying their evening cocktails, the wife asks her husband, in a very seductive voice, "Have you ever seen $20 all crumpled up?" "No," said her husband.  She gave him a sexy little smile, unbuttoned the top 3 or 4 buttons of her blouse, and slowly reached down into the cleavage created by a soft, silky push-up bra, and pulled out a crumpled $20 bill. He took the crumpled $20 bill from her and smiled approvingly. 

     She then asked him, "Have you ever seen $50 all crumpled up? "Uh... no, I haven't," he said, with an anxious tone in his voice. She gave him another sexy little smile, pulled up her skirt, and seductively reached into her tight, sheer panties... and pulled out a crumpled $50 bill. He took the crumpled $50 bill and started breathing a little quicker with anticipation. 

     "Now," she said, "have you ever seen $50,000 dollars all crumpled up? He said, "No!" trying to hide his anticipation.  

     She said, "Check the garage."

A blonde motorist was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to San Diego?"
     "Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?" 
     "Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back that have to be taken to the San Diego Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you $200 for your trouble”.
     "I'd be happy to," said the blonde.
     So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts, and off they went. Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified! There was the blonde walking down the street, holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blonde.
     "What are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you $200 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo!" 
      "Yes, I know you did," said the blonde. "But we had money left over so now we're going to Sea World."

     As a child, I always had a fear of someone under the bed at night.  So I went to a shrink and told him: I've got problems.  Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it.  I'm scared.  I think I'm going crazy.”
     “Just put yourself in my hands for one year,” said the shrink…. “Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”  “How much do you charge?”  “One hundred fifty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.
     “I'll sleep on it,” I said.
     Six months later the doctor met me on the street.  “Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?” he asked.
     “Well, $150 a visit, three times a week for a year, is $23,400.00.  A bartender cured me for $10.00.  I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought a new pickup truck.”
     “Is that so?” With a bit of an attitude he said, “and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”
     “He told me to cut the legs off the bed.  Ain’t nobody under there now.”
     It’s always better to get a second opinion

     He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea", and then he said with a deep sigh, "Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box"

     Three men were discussing aging on the steps of the nursing home. “Sixty is the worst age to be,” announced the sixty-year-old. “You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time, you stand at the toilet and nothing comes out!”
     “Ah, that’s nothing,” said the seventy-year-old. “When you’re seventy, you can’t have a BM anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran - you sit on the toilet all day and nothing comes out!”
     “Actually,” said the eighty-year-old, “Eighty is the worst age of all.”
     “Do you have trouble peeing too?”, asked the sixty-year-old.
     “No ... not really. I pee every morning at 6AM. I go like a race horse - no problem at all.” “Do you have trouble having a BM?”, asked the seventy-year-old. “No, not really. I have a great bowel movement every morning at 6:30.”
     With great exasperation, the sixty-year-old said, “Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at six o’clock and have a BM every morning at six thirty. What’s so tough about being eighty?”
     To which the eighty-year-old replied, “I don’t wake up until ten.”

     At Friday night services, Morris goes to his friend Irving and says, “I need a favor.  I’m sleeping with the Rabbi’s wife.  Can you hold him in synagogue for an hour after services for me?”

     Irving is not very fond of the idea, but being Morris’ lifelong friend, he reluctantly agrees.
     After services, he strikes up a conversation with the Rabbi, asking him all sorts of stupid questions - just to keep him occupied.
     After some time the wise Rabbi becomes suspicious and asks, “Irving what are you really up to?”
     Irving, filled with feeling of guilt and remorse confesses to the Rabbi, “I’m sorry, Rabbi.  My friend is sleeping with your wife right now, so he asked me to keep you occupied.”
     The Rabbi smiles, puts a brotherly hand on Irving’s shoulder and says, “You'd probably better hurry home, Irving.  My wife died two years ago!”

This was received from a man who lives in an assisted living building: 
     We have small apartments, but we eat at a central cafeteria. One morning,one man didn't show up for breakfast, so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door, and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining room.
 
     An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up toward his room and she found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was having a difficult time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have trouble getting his legs to work right. She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs to the cafeteria and he had his breakfast.
 
     When he tried to go back to his apartment, he was unable to even get up the first step, so an ambulance was called to take him to the hospital. A couple of hours later, my wife called the hospital to see how he was doing.
 The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one leg of his boxer shorts.

      With the holidays close upon us, I would like to share a personal experience about drinking and driving. As you know, some of us have been known to have some brushes with the authorities from time to time, often on our way home from a "social session" with family and friends.
     Well two days ago this happened to me. I was out for an evening with friends and had more than several drinks, followed by a couple of bottles of rather nice red wine and vodka shots. Although relaxed, I still had the common sense to know I was way over the limit.
     That's when I did something I've never done before, I took a taxi home. Sure enough, on the way there was a police roadblock, but since it was a taxi they waved it past and I arrived home safely without incident.
     This was a real surprise for me, because I have never driven a taxi before. I don't know where I got it, and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it. So if you want to borrow it, give me a call.

     "While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its large jaws wide open.
     She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today!
     Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took....the 'gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.
     It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus the amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible."

     His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. 
     Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'. The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off. 
     Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.' 
     'Why?' asked the pilot. 
    
'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' , he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.' 
     The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'

     Air traffic control tower suddenly lost communication with a small twin engine aircraft. A moment later the tower's land line rang and was answered by one of the employees.  
     The passenger riding with the pilot who lost communications was on a cellular phone and yelled "Mayday, mayday!! The pilot had an instant and fatal heart attack.

Mayday, mayday!!"

     Aircraft: "I can see that it reads 18,000 feet on the Altimeter dial in front of me." 
     Tower: "Okay, that's good, remain calm. How do you know you're traveling at 180 mph?" 
     Aircraft: "I can see that it reads 180 mph on the Airspeed dial in front of me." 
     Tower: Okay, this is great so far, but it's heavily overcast, so how do you know you're flying upside down?"
     Aircraft: The pee in my pants is running out of my shirt collar.

       A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. 
     "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?" 
     "Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature." 
     The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action." 
     "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action." 
     The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself." 
     The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. 
     Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?" 
     "1955, ma'am." 
     "Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him several times. 
     Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955." 
     The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch, "I hope not; it's only 2130 now."

      A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
     The boy asked, 'What is this Father?' 
     The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is.'
     While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.
     They continued to watch until it reached the last number… and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out.
     The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son.....'Go get your Mother'.

     A couple was invited to a swanky costume party. Unfortunately, the wife came down with a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time being spoiled by not going.
     So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early enough, decided to go the party. Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.
     She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he could, and copping a little touch here and a little kiss there. His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished...Naturally, (since he was her husband.)
     Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed. So off they went to one of the cars and had a quickie. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
     She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked what kind of a time he had. He said: "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there."
     "Did you dance much ?”
     "You know, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Browning and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening. But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to…

     John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night in the midst of a big storm. The night kept rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming up behind him and it stopped. 
     John, desperate for shelter, quickly got into the car and closed the door only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on. The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life.
 
     Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.
 
     Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, and so, gathering his strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Soaking wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying and wasn't drunk.
     Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other: "Look Paddy, there's that fooking idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it!"

     After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling.  When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married.
     On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
     Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised eyebrow.  The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze.
     The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?"
     "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, ...............But I play Golf on Fridays.

     A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack - selling ties. The Taliban terrorist asked, "Do you have water?"   
     The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."
     The Taliban shouted hysterically, "Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an over-priced western adornment. I spit on your ties. I need water!"
     "Sorry, I have none, just ties - pure silk, and only $5."
     "Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of
you, but I must conserve my energy and find water!"
     "Okay," said the little old Jewish man. "It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me, or that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me infidel. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go In Peace."
     Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away, over the hill.
     Several hours later, he crawled back, almost dead, and gasped, "They won't let me in without a tie..."

God said to the long line, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created men to be the head of your household! Only one of you has succeeded. You should all learn from him."
     God turned to the one man,
"Share with these fools why you are the only one in this line?"
     The man replied,
"My wife told me to stand here ..."

     A group of golfing buddies, all in their 40's, discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because it wasn't far from the course, the waitresses were young, good looking, showed lots of cleavage and wore short-shorts. 
     Ten years later, at age 50, the golfing buddies once again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because the food and service was good, they had many televisions to watch the games on, and the beer selection was excellent. 
     Ten years later, at age 60, the gang again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because there was plenty of parking, they could dine in peace, and it was good value for the money. 
     Ten years later, at age 70, they discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because the restaurant was wheelchair accessible and had a toilet for the disabled.

     A painter by the name of Murphy, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. Over a short number of years, his fame grew and soon people from all over Ireland were coming to the town of Doolin in County Clare, to get him to paint their likenesses.
     One day, a beautiful young English woman arrived at his house in a stretched limo and asked if he would paint her in the nude.

Not wanting to get into any marital strife, he asked her to wait while he went into the house to confer with Mary, his wife.  
     In a few minutes he returned. "T'would be me pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus," he said. The wife says it's okay. "I'll paint ya in da nude alright, but I have to at least leave me socks on so I have a place to wipe me brushes”

Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
     Soon the church was empty except for one elderly cowboy who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan walked up to the man and said, "Do you know who I am?"  
     The old cowboy replied, "Yep, sure do."
     Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.  
     "Nope, sure ain't." said the cowboy. 
     "Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?" asked Satan.

     Three blondes were applying for a position on the police force.  The detective opened a file drawer, pulled out a folder, pulled out a picture, and said, “To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.  You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities like scars and so forth."  He put the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after a few seconds.  "Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?"
     The blonde immediately said, "Yes I did.  He has only one eye!"
     The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed." The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.
     The detective then turned to the second blonde, put the photo in front of her for a few seconds, pulled it back, and said, "What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"
     "Yes! He only has one ear!"
     The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face! Of course you can only see one ear! You're excused.”  The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.
     The detective turned his attention to the third, and last blonde, and said, "This is probably a waste of time, but, . . . " he flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "OK, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?"
     The blonde said, "I sure did. The man wears contact lenses."
     The detective frowned, took another look at the picture, and began looking at some of the papers in the folder.  He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said, "You're absolutely right!  His bio says he wears contacts!  How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"
     The blonde rolled her eyes and said, "Well, Hellooooooooooooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."

Why Men Shouldn’t Write Advice Columns

Dear John,

     I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My car stalled, and then it broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband’s help. When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor’s daughter!
     I am 32, he is 34 and the neighbor’s daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won’t go to counseling, and I’m afraid I am a wreck and need your advice urgently. Can you please help?
     Sincerely, Sheila 

Dear Sheila,
     A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
     I hope this helps.
     John

     'I'm Italian and I am a golfer,' says the old guy, 'and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. I have a glass of vino, and all is well.'  
     'Well' says the doctor, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Father when he died?'
     'Who said my Father's dead?' 
     The doctor is amazed. 'You mean you're 80 years old and your Father's still alive. How old is he?' 
     'He's 100 years old,' says the Old Italian golfer. 'In fact he golfed with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach  for a walk and had a little vino and that's why he's still alive. He's Italian and he's a golfer, too.' 
     'Well,' the doctor  says, 'that's  great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Father's Father? How old was he when he died?' 
     'Who said my Nono's dead?' 
     Stunned, the doctor asks, 'you mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, how old is he?'
     'He's 118 years old,' says the Old Italian golfer. 
     The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, 'So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?'
     '
No, Nono couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today.' 
     At this point the doctor is close to losing it. 'Getting married? Why would a 118 year- old guy want to get married?'

I want to share with you an amazing story. I'm a small 22-year-old woman, but I was able to solve a critical emergency by keeping my cool and using precise marksmanship with a small pistol, While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my husband, we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of the woods. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little .25 caliber Beretta with me, I would not be here today!  Just one shot to my husband's knee cap was all it took. The bear got him and I was able to escape by just briskly walking away.

"Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands there at his groin.
     At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel'?

     On his 74th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.  After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man, and wondered what he was in for.
     The old man handed a potion to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, he warned him, 'This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoonful, and then say '1-2-3.' When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform as long as you want."
     The man was encouraged. As he walked away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,'" he responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."
     He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes, but then asked, "So what was that 1-2-3 for"?
     And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

     The Montana Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, rescue dog handlers, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the National State Parks and Forests.  They have advised people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert, but not startle the bears unexpectedly.  They also advise you carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. 
     It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity.  People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear droppings and grizzly bear droppings.  The black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.  The grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

The mice said, "Well, we have had to run all of our lives from cats, dogs, and even people with brooms! If we could just have some little roller skates, we would not have to run again."

     God answered, "It is done." All the mice had beautiful roller skates.
     About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow.... God gently awakened the cat and asked, "Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?"

     The cat replied, "Oh, it is WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my life. The pillow is so fluffy, and those little 'Meals on Wheels' you have been sending over are delicious."

     One dark night in the small town in Garfield, NJ, a fire started inside the local sausage factory. In a blink of an eye, the building was engulfed in flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. 
     When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, 'All of our secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to be saved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out and delivers them to me.' 
     But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president announced that the offer 
to  extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000 to the fire department that could save them. 
     Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was 
heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the fire engine from nearby Lodi , NJ . This volunteer fire department was composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65. 
     To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Italian firefighters, passed the fire engines parked outside the plant, and drove straight into the middle of the inferno. 
     Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time
, the Lodi old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes. 
     The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such a superhuman accomplishment, he was raising the reward to $200,000, and 
walked over to personally thank each of the brave elderly Italian firefighters.
     A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The 'on camera' reporter asked the Italian fire chief, 'What are you going to do with all that money?' 
    'Wella,' said Chief Pasquale, 'de fursta tinga we gonnna
 do isza fixa de brakes on dat goddamn truck!!'

     I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I decided to get married. But one thing was bothering me... it was her beautiful younger sister.  My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view.
     One day, the “little sister” called me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived and whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn’t overcome.
She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
     Well, I was in total shock and couldn’t say a word. She said “I’m going to go upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last fling, just come up and get me.” I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.
     I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, the entire family was standing outside, all clapping. With tears in his eyes, my future father-in-law hugged me and said “We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn’t ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.”
     And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car.

     Bob replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news, so I knew he would jump."
     The blonde replied, "I did, too, but I didn't think he'd do it again."

     Cletus is passing by Billy Bob 's hay barn one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old John Deere tractor. Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his overalls fall down to his hips, revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt.
     Then, grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his stained T-shirt underneath. With a final flourish, he tears the T-shirt from his body, and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay.
     Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says, "What the world're ya doing, Billy Bob ?"

     An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite ravioli wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.
     When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen, where, if not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were hundreds of his favorite ravioli. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
     He threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the ravioli was already in his mouth. With a trembling hand he reached up to the edge of the table, when suddenly he was smacked with a wooden spoon by his wife who said:
"Va fanculo!" "Questi sono per il funerale." which translates as “Back off, these are for the funeral.”

     A young blonde girl in her late teens, 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 neighborhood. 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 the 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 and brushes and everything she would need were 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?"
     "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" he responded.
     The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes."
     A few hours later the girl 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."

     A young New York blonde woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean, but just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her. "You have so much to live for," said the man. "I'm a sailor, and we are off to Italy tomorrow. I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every-day, and keep you happy."
     With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Italy, the woman accepted.

     Paddy staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy,.   He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump.   A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
     Managing not to yell, Paddy sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding.   He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
     In the morning, Paddy woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room. She said, 'You were drunk again last night weren't you?'
     Paddy said, 'Why you say such a mean thing?'
     'Well,' Kathleen said, 'it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ....... it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said  to him, "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good cigar?"
     "Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wet suit and  pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter. He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag. "Faith and begorrah," said the  castaway, "that is so good! I'd almost  forgotten how great a smoke can be!"

Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve,  unzipped a pocket there and removed a flask and handed it to him. He  opened the flask and took a long drink. "'Tis nectar of the gods!" shouted  the Irishman. " 'Tis truly fantastic!!!"
      At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the  middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, "And how long has it been  since you played around?" With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don't tell me that you've got golf clubs in there too!"

     The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'  
     'Yes', she says, 'I remember it well.'

     The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming.. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.  
     The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.
     After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is. 
     So, as the couple passes, he says to them, 'Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'
     Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply. 'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence.'

     A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car.'
     The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut. 
     The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

     His Dad replied 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?

A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, 'I don't like the looks of your wife at all.'
'Me neither doc,' said the husband. 'But she's a great cook and really good with the kids.'

     After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look my wife one day and said, "Darling, 44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed, watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 25-year-old girl. Now I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, nice big bed and a plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."
     My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old gal, and she'd make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed, and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

     Bubbles and Barbie, two blonde sisters, had promised their uncle to bury him at sea when he died. In due time, he did pass away, and the two blondes set off from Clearwater Beach with their uncle all stitched up in a burial bag and loaded him onto their rowboat.
     After a while Bubbles said, "Do you think we're out far enough, Barbie?"
     Barbie slipped over the side. Finding the water only knee deep, she said, "Nope, not yet, Bubbles." So they rowed a little farther out.
     Again Bubbles asked Barbie, "Do you think we're out far enough now?"
     Once again Barbie slipped over the side and almost immediately said, "No, this will never do; the water is only up to my chest."
     So on they rowed and rowed and rowed, and finally Barbie slipped over the side and disappeared. Quite a bit of time went by, and poor Bubbles was really getting worried when suddenly Barbie broke the surface, gasping for breath.
     "Well, is it deep enough yet, sis?"
     "Yes, finally, "said Barbie. "Hand me the shovel."

     My wife and I are travelling by car from Victoria to Prince George. After almost eleven hours on the road, we were too tired to continue, and decide to take a room for four hours and then get back on the road. When we checked out four hours later, the desk clerk hands us a bill for $350.
     I tell the clerk that although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.  Then the clerk tells me that $350 is the 'standard rate'. I insisted on speaking to the Manager.
     The Manager appears and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for us to use.  'But we didn't use them. ''Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager.
     He goes on to explain we could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. 'We have the best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here,' he says. 'But we didn't go to any of those shows,' .'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.
     The Manager is unmoved, and eventually I gave up and agreed to pay.  I  wrote a check but the Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. 'But sir,' 'this check is only made out for $50.00.''That's correct, since I charged you $300 for sleeping with my wife.'
     'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.
     'Well, too bad, she was here, and you could have.'

     As a bagpiper, I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man who had no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery in the remote countryside and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there. As I was not familiar with the  backwoods area, I became lost and being a typical man, did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew who were eating lunch but the hearse was nowhere in sight.
     I apologized to the workers for my tardiness and stepped to the side of the open grave where I saw the vault lid already in place.  I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I played out my heart and soul.
     As I played the workers began to weep. I played and I played like I'd never played before, from 'Going Home' and 'The Lord  is My Shepherd' to 'Flowers of the Forest.' I closed the lengthy session with 'Amazing Grace' and walked to my car.
     As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the  workers saying to another, "Man, I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for 20 years."

     In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am, regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 am Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.  
    The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 am all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, statues of Buddha, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.
     Just when the clock struck 11:00 , Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

     Just before Thanksgiving, I received a parrot as a 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. I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, but finally I got fed up and yelled at the parrot.
     The parrot yelled back. I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. So, in desperation, I grabbed the bird and put 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 I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arms 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 behavior."
     I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As I was about to  ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the  bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

     I want to live my next life backwards!  You  start out dead and get that out of the way right off the bat.  Then, you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day.  When you are kicked out of the home for being too healthy, you spend several years enjoying your retirement and collecting benefit checks.
     When you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.  You work 35-40 years or so, getting younger every day until pretty soon you're too young to work.  So then, you go to high school: play sports, date, drink, and party.
     As you get even younger, you become a kid again.  You go to elementary school, play, and have no responsibilities.  In a few years, you become a baby and everyone runs themselves ragged keeping you happy.  You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, spa-like conditions: central heating, room service on tap.

     Until finally... you finish off as an orgasm.  I rest my case.

Dear Tide,
     I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better!
     In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse!
     I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband.      
     What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product.
     Well, gotta go, have to write to the Hefty bag people.

     The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium.
     She said, 'I have praise. Two months ago, my husband, Jim, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him.'
     You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced.
     She continued, 'Jim was unable to hold me or the children and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation. They were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Jim's scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place.'
     Again, the men in the congregation squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined this horrible surgery performed on Jim. She continued, 'Now, Jim is out of the hospital and the doctors say, with time, his scrotum should recover completely.' All the men sighed with relief.
     The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had anything to say.
     A man rose and walked to the podium. He said, 'I'm Jim and I want to tell my wife, the word is sternum.'

     A husband and wife came for counseling after 15 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate tirade listing every problem they had ever had. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved, an entire laundry list of un-met needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.
     Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk, asked the wife to stand, and then he embraced and kissed her passionately.
     The woman quietly sat down in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week.  Can you do this?"
     The husband thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I can drop her off here Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I go fishing."

     A newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor told them, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from sex for an entire month."
     The couple agreed and, after two-and-a-half weeks, returned to the church. When the Pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was crying, and the husband obviously was very depressed.
     "You are back so soon. Is there a problem?" the pastor inquired.
     "We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month," the young man replied sadly.
     The pastor asked him what happened.
     "Well, the first week was difficult; however, we managed to abstain through sheer willpower. The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we managed to abstain. The third week, however, was unbearable. We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible, or anything to keep our minds free of carnal thoughts.
     But one afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and had my way with her right then and there," admitted the man, shamefacedly.
     "You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor.

     An older, white- haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
     The old man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special." At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000" the jeweler said.
     The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it."
     The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, "By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon."
     Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account."
     "I know," said the old man, "But let me tell you about my weekend! "

     A rabbi, a priest and an imam are play­ing golf one afternoon. But the quartet in front of them is incredibly slow, so slow that it takes seven hours for them to play just nine holes. As they enter the pro shop after they have finished, the club pro asks, "So, did you enjoy the day?"
     "Yes, yes," one of the men says, "we appreciate your kindness. But the four gentlemen in front of us were sur­passingly slow. It took us seven hours just to play nine holes. Doesn't the club have rules that say that people need to play at a certain speed on your course?"
     "Oh, l feel awful," the club pro says. "I should have told you. Once a week, we invite some of the gentlemen from the community's Center for the Blind to enjoy our course, and this afternoon, they happened to play in front of you"
     "By all that is holy!" the priest says. "I am going to immediately go confess my sin of self-involvement, then get started straight­away on my Sunday sermon, about the dangers of selfishness."
     "Allah, most gracious!" says the imam. "I am right now driving to the mosque, where I will kneel toward
Mecca and beseech the One True God to help me be more humble, to help me be more compassionate to those less fortunate."
     "So," says the rabbi, 'they couldn't have played at night?"

     There was a man who had worked all his life and was a real "miser" when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me." And so he got his wife to promise him that when he died, she would put all the money into the casket with him.
     Well, he died. When they finished the funeral ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a moment." She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.
     So her friend said, "Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."
     The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm a good wife. I cannot go back on my word."
    "You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him?" asked her friend.
     "I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a check. He can cash it whenever he wants."

            A lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
            The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

            Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"
            Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
            The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!
            Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says. "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

     "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes," she says. "What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being?"
"It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person. Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general and all in the name of humor!"

There once was this deacon and this preacher, and they had been friends for a long time. One day the deacon got sick and was put in the hospital, so the preacher decided to go and see his old friend. When he walked into the hospital room, the preacher noticed all the hoses and medical equipment attached to the deacon. The preacher walked over and kneeled by the bed and asked, ''How ya doing?''

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl tells him that after dinner, she would like to have sex with him for the first time. The boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacy to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about half an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy a 3-pack, 10-pack or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all. That night, the boy shows up at the girls parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents! Come on in!" The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down 10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious." The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist!"

When the Head Nurse became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
     When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving a life in an emergency. The bad news is that Jim hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt, right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
     Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself. I just put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

A guy is driving around Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a house:  "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador Retriever sitting there.
     You talk ? "  he asks.
     "Yep," the Lab replies.
     "So, what's your story ? "
     The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk  when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the
CIA about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from  country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.
     "But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't  getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in."

Shortly there after he met a farmer who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away. So he explained his mission to the farmer, asking for permission to marry one of them. The farmer simply replied, "They're lookin' to get married, so you came to the right place. Look 'em over and pick the one you want."
           
The man dated the first daughter. The next day the farmer asked for the man's opinion. "Well," said the man, "she's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice...pigeon-toed." The farmer nodded and suggested the man date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second daughter.
           
The next day, the farmer again asked how things went. "Well,"  the man replied, "she's just a weeeee bit, not that you can hardly tell...cross-eyed." The farmer nodded and suggested he date the third girl to see if things might be better. So he did.
           
The next morning the man rushed in exclaiming, "She's perfect, just perfect. She's the one I want to marry." And so they were wed right away.
            Months later the baby was born. When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was the ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He rushed to his father-in-law asking how such a thing could happen considering the beauty of the parents.

           
"Well," explained the farmer, "She was just a weeeee bit, not that you could hardly tell...  pregnant when you met her."

     An atheist was taking a walk through the woods when he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned just in time to see a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could, but the bear was closing in on him. Then he tripped and fell on the ground. Rolling himself over, he saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
     At that instant, the atheist cried out: “Oh my God!...”
     Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.
     As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: “You deny my existence for all these years, and teach others I don’t exist. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
     The atheist looked directly into the light: “It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian.”
     “Very well,’ said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed.
     And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
     “Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen.”

Two Episcopal priests die on the same day and apply for admission to heaven. St. Peter tells them that the computers are down, and that the two will have to return to earth for a week until the computers are fixed. "However," he says, "you can be whatever you want for the next week, just let me know." The first priest says he has always wanted to be an eagle that can soar in the skies, so St. Peter makes him into an eagle and sends him back to earth. The second priest says he has always wanted to be a stud, so St. Peter carries out his wishes and sends him back to earth also. A week later, God tells St. Peter that the computers are fixed and it is time to get the two priests into heaven. St. Peter says, "It will be easy to get the first priest back, but I don't know about the second, he's on a snow tire somewhere in Alaska."

     Several centuries ago, the Pope decided that all the Jews had to leave the city of Rome . Naturally, there was a big uproar from the Jewish community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Jewish community. If the Jew won, the Jews could stay. If the Pope won, the Jews would leave. The Jews realized that they had no choice. So they picked an elderly aged man named Moishe to represent them. Rabbi Moishe's Latin wasn't very good - in fact, he knew very little--but he was a man of great faith and well respected in the Jewish community. The pope agreed. What could be easier than a silent debate? 
     The day of the great debate came. Moishe and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Moishe looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Moishe pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too good. The Jews can stay!"
     An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what happened. The Pope said: "First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"
     Meanwhile, the Jewish community had crowded around Moishe. "What happened?" they asked. "Well," said Moishe, "First he said to me that the Jews had three days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Jews. I let him know that we were staying right here." "And then?" asked a woman. "I don't know," said Moishe. "He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!"

     A concerned husband goes to see the family doctor and says, "I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time I say something. In fact, I often have to repeat things over and over again."
     "Well," the doctor replies, "go home and stand about 15 feet from her and say something. If she doesn’t reply, move about five feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so we can get an idea about the severity of her deafness."
     Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen and as she is chopping some vegetables, he says, "Honey, what’s for dinner?"
     He gets no response. He moves about five feet closer and asks again. No reply. He moves five feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what’s for dinner?"
     She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"

     It was a new day at the pearly gates and St. Peter said to the first man in line, "Tell me about the day you died."
     The man said, "Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was having an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn't find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, and I died."
     St. Peter let the man in and then asked the next man in line about the day he died. "Well, sir, it was awful," said the second man. "I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!"
     St. Peter let him into heaven. "Tell me about the day you died," he said to the third man in line.
     "OK, picture this, I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator...."

     A small Alabama Wild Animal Park acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the gorilla, who was a female, became very difficult to handle.
     Upon examination, the park veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat.  To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available.
     Reflecting on their problem, the park administrator thought of Eddie Standen, a redneck part-time intern, who was responsible for cleaning the animal's cages. Eddie, like most rednecks, had little sense, but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.  The park administrator thought they might have a solution.  Eddie was approached with a proposition.  Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500.00?
     Eddie showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.  The following day, Eddie announced that he would accept their offer, but only under the following four conditions. 

     "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her on the lips."  The park administrator quickly agreed to this condition.
     "Second," Eddie said, "you must never tell anyone about this."  The park administrator again readily agreed to this condition.
     "Third," Eddie said, "I want all the offspring to be raised Southern Baptist."  Once again the administrator agreed.
     And last of all Eddie stated "You've got to give me another week to come up with the $500.00."

Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check. Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!" "I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"

When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen.  But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!"  To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check. When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions.

Finally his wife stopped the nagging and said to him, "How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?" He replied, "That would just be fine with me."

Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. But on Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his
favorite Italian anisette sprinkle cookies wafting up the stairs.

He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen.

Where if not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite anisette sprinkled cookies. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted Italian wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life. The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife......

"Back off!" she said, "They're for the funeral."

It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared. But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked,

"Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared. 

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's definitely going to be a very cold winter." The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find. 

Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?" "Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."

How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.

The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting wood like crazy."

Well, the chauffeur didn't have much of a choice, so he got in the back of  the limo and the Pope took the wheel. He turned onto I-95 and accelerated to about 90 MPH. WHAM! The blue lights of the State Highway Patrol flashed in his rearview mirror.

He pulled over and a trooper came to his window. When the trooper saw who it was he said, "Just a moment, please, I need to call in." The trooper radioed in and asked for the chief. He said, "I have a REALLY important person pulled over and I need to know what to do."

The chief replied, "Who is it, not Ted Kennedy again?"
The trooper said, "No, even more important."

It isn't the Governor, Jeb Bush, is it?" asked the chief.
"No, even more important," replied the trooper.

"It isn't the President, George Bush, is it?"
"No, replied the trooper, "even more important."

"Well, WHO in the world is it?!" screamed the chief.

The trooper responded, "I don't know for sure but I think it might be Jesus, because his chauffeur is the Pope!"

Dear Granddaughter,

The other day I went up to our local Christian bookstore and saw a "Honk if you love Jesus" bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, I'm glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed...... I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus!

Why while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, "For the love of God! Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ Go!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those  loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him  yelling something about a "sunny beach." I saw another guy waving in a funny  way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why, even he was enjoying this religious experience! A couple of people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended but this is when I noticed the light had changed.

So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window  and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

I will write again soon.
Love,
Grandma

BEAR ALERT
The Montana State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, rescue dog handlers, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the Gallatin, Helena and Lewis and Clark National forests.  They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert, but not startle the bears unexpectedly.  They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear.     

It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity. People should be able to recognize between black bear and grizzly bear droppings.

Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.

Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

EXERCISES FOR SENIORS

I started by standing outside behind the house and, with a 5-pound potato sack in each hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there as long as I can.

After a while, I moved up to 10-pound potato sacks, then 50-pound potato sacks, and finally, I got to where I could lift a 100-pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight out for more  than a full minute!

Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.

A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot the plane started to go down. Finally the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and bailed out.

Unfortunately there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out.

The lawyer then said, "I'm a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world, I deserve to live!" He grabbed a parachute and jumped.  

The priest looked at the little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace".

The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, "Not to worry, Father. The 'smartest man in the world' just took off with my back pack."

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.

Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280 Interstate. Please - please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," replied Herman, "It's hundreds of them!"

     A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. “Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan for my vacation”
     Pattie looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it’s OK because he knows the bank manager.
     Pattie explains that he’ll need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says “sure” and produces a tiny porcelain elephant.
     Confused, Pattie goes to speak to the bank manager. She tells him, “There’s a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this porcelain elephant as collateral. What should I do?”

The bank manager replies,
“It’s a knickknack, Pattie Whack. 
Give the frog a loan.
His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”

An Afghanistan diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by  the State Department. The Grand Emir wasn't used to the salt in American food (French fries, cheese, etc.) and was constantly sending his man-servant, Abdul, to fetch him a glass of water.

Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water. But finally he returned empty-handed.

"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water??" demanded the Grand  Emir.

'A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul, "but a man is sitting on the well."

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother.

The first said, "I built a big house for our mother."

The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."

The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a brown parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite  it." 

Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: She wrote the first son, "Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."

She wrote the second son, "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"

She wrote the third son, "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious.
