Here it is - the latest news from Europe.

The News Standard has received this bulletin fresh from our Brussels-based News Service.

The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by z" and "w" by v. During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

Sand Bagged

Sent in by Victorian Lady

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?"

"Sand," answered Juan.

The guard says, "We'll just see about that ~ get off the bike." The guard takes the bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.

The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man's shoulders, and lets him cross the border.

A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What have you got?"

"Sand," says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events if repeated every day for three years. Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.

"Hey, Buddy," says the guard, "I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about.....I can't sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"

Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles."

An Irishman's been drinking at a pub all night. When he stands up to leave, he falls flat on his face. He tries to stand one more time, but to no avail. Again, he falls flat on his face. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up. Once outside, he stands up and, sure enough, he falls flat on his face. The Irishman decide to crawl the four blocks to his home.

When he arrives at the door, he stands up and falls flat on his face. He crawls through the door into his bedroom. When he reaches his bed, he tries one more time to stand up. This time, he manages to pull himself upright but he quickly falls right into bed. He is sound asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.

He awakens the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting,
"So, you've been out drinking again!"

"Why do you say that?" he asks innocently.

"The pub called. You left your wheelchair there again."

Jerked Around

Sent in by Victorian Lady

An example of positive stress control - I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?"
I politely said, "This is Patrick Hanifin and could I please speak to Robin Carter? Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude.

I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. She had transposed the last two digits. After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again. When the same person once more answered, I yelled "You're a jerk!" and hung up. Next to his phone number I wrote the word "Jerk," and put it in my desk drawer.

Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills, or had a really bad day, I'd call him up. He'd answer, and then I'd yell, "You're a jerk!" It would always cheer me up.

Later in the year the phone company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me, I would have to stop calling the jerk. Then one day I had an idea. I dialed his number, then heard his voice, "Hello." I made up a name. "Hi. This is a repair man with the telephone company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?" He went, "No!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're a jerk!"

And the reason I took the time to tell you this story, is to show you how if there's ever anything really bothering you, you can do something about it.
Just dial 823-4863.

The old lady at the mall really took her time pulling out of the parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally her car began to move and she started to very slowly back out of the stall. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. Great, I thought, she's finally leaving.

All of a sudden this black Camaro comes flying up the parking isle in the wrong direction and pulls into her space. I started honking my horn and yelling, "You can't just do that Buddy. I was here first!" The guy climbed out of his Camaro completely ignoring me. He walked toward the mall as if he didn't even hear me I thought to myself, this guy's a jerk, there's sure a lot of jerks in this world.

I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number. Then I hunted for another place to park.

A couple of days later, I'm at home sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 823-4863 and yelling, "You're a jerk!"
(It's really easy to call him now since I have his number on speed dial). I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black Camaro lying on my desk and thought I'd better call this guy, too. After a couple rings someone answered the phone and said, "Hello."

I said, "Is this the man with the black Camaro for sale?"
"Yes it is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front."
I said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Don Hansen."
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home in the evenings."
"Listen Don, can I tell you something?"
"Yes."
"Don, you're a jerk!" And I slammed the phone down. After I hung up I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer.

For a while things seemed to be going better for me. Now when I had a problem I had two jerks to call. Then after several months of calling the jerks and hanging up on them, the whole thing started to seem like an obligation. It just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution. First, I had my phone dial Jerk #1. A man answered nicely saying,


"Hello."
I yelled "You're a jerk!", but I didn't hang up.
The jerk said, "Are you still there?"
I said, "Yeah.."
He said, "Stop calling me."
I said, "No."
He said, "What's your name, Pal?"
"Don Hansen."
"Where do you live?"
"1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black Camaro's parked out front."
"I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers."
"Yeah, like I'm really scared, Jerk!" and I hung up.

Then I called Jerk #2. He answered, "Hello."
I said, "Hello, Jerk!"
He said, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll kick your butt."
"Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now, Jerk!" And I hung up.

Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as he got home. Another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going on down W. 34th Street. After that I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing.

Glorious! If you want to watch two jerks kicking the crap out of each other in front of 6 squad cars and a police helicopter, I taped it off the evening news.

Happily Addicted to the Web

(to the tune of "Winter Wonderland")

Doorbell rings, I'm not list'nin',
From my mouth, drool is glist'nin',
I'm happy--although
My boss let me go--
Happily addicted to the Web.

All night long, I sit clicking,
Unaware time is ticking,
There's beard on my cheek,
Same clothes for a week,
Happily addicted to the Web.

Friends come by; they shake me, Saying, "Yo, man!
Don't you know that life keeps moving on?"
With a listless shrug, I mutter, "No, man;
I just discovered letterman-dot-com!"

I don't phone, don't send faxes,
Don't go out, don't pay taxes,
Who cares if someday
They drag me away?
I'm happily addicted to the Web!

A group of third, fourth and fifth graders accompanied by two female teachers went on a field trip to the local race track to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry.
During the tour some of the children wanted to go to the toilet so it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other.
As the teacher assigned to the boys waited outside the men's toilet, one of the boys came out and told her he couldn't reach the urinal. Having no choice, she went inside and began hoisting the little boys up by their armpits, one by one.
As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well-endowed for an elementary school child. "I guess you must be in the fifth," she said.
"No ma'am" he replied, "I'm in the seventh, riding Silver Arrow."

Feel Like a Woman

Sent in by Victorian Lady

On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.

One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable! I've had plenty of sex in my life, but no one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??"

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.

Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane.

"I can make you feel like a woman," he says.

He's gorgeous. Tall, built, with flowing black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle,unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves.

The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the strange man approaches.

He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers:


"Iron this."

Heard about the man who saw the sign "Drink Canada Dry"? He moved there.



The Queen of England was showing the Archbishop of Canterbury around the Royal Stables when one of the stallions close by farted so loudly it couldn't be ignored.

"It's quite understandable," said the Archbishop, and after a moment added, "As a matter of fact, I thought it was the horse."



A bloke goes into a pub, takes a seat at the bar, and orders five pots. The barman gives him an odd look since the bloke's all by himself, but he serves up the five pots and lines them up on the bar. The bloke downs them.... One, Two, Three, Four, Five. He finishes the last one and calls to the barman, "Four pots, please, mate!"

The barman serves up four pots and lines them on the bar. The bloke downs them.... One, Two, Three, Four. Then he belches loudly, sways slightly on the stool, and orders three more pots. And one after the other, he knocks them back.... One, Two, Three.

"Two potsh, mate" he calls, and the barman places two pots in front of him. Down they go.... One, Two. As the bloke slams the last one down on the bar, he says, "One pot, mate." So the barman fills the glass. The bloke sits there, staring at it for a moment, trying to focus. Then he looks at the barman and says, "Y'know, it'sh a funny t'ing, but the less I drink, the drunker I get..."



Brenda O'Malley is home as usual, making dinner, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.

"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya."

"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"

"That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guiness brewery..."

"Oh, God no" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me..."

"I must, Brenda. Your husband Seamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."

Brenda reached a hand out to her side, found the arm of the rocking chair by the fireplace, pulled the chair to her and collapsed into it. She wept for many minutes. Finally she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"

"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guiness Stout and drowned."

"Oh my dear Jesus" But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"

"Well, no Brenda......no."

"No?"

"Fact is, he got out three times to pee."

Beer Upmanship

In Amsterdam, a world wide convention of brewers was held. The presidents of many of the world's greatest breweries were on hand, and many of them decided to go out for dinner together on the first evening. The waiter asked what they would like to drink, and the CEO of Miller said, "A Miller Light please!".

The president of Budweiser asked for a "Bud!".

Adolph Coors requested a "Coors."

And so it went, around the large table, each president asking for the brew from his own company.

Finally, the waiter came to Arthur Guinness. "And you sir?" he queried.

"I'll have a Coke!" was Guinness's reply.

"A Coke??!?" The waiter was shocked. "Wouldn't you rather have a Guinness, sir?" Arthur looked at the waiter, and gestured to his companions,

"Well," he said, "If they're not drinking beer, then neither will I!"

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT

    A Load of Bull

    Sent in by Victorian Lady.

    Three bulls heard via the grapevine that the rancher was going to bring yet another bull onto the ranch, and the prospect raised a discussion among them.

    First Bull: "Boys, we all know I've been here 5 years. Once we settled our differences, we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be mine. Now, I don't know where this newcomer is going to get HIS cows, but I ain't givin' him any of mine."

    Second Bull: "That pretty much says it for me, too. I've been here 3 years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we've agreed are mine. I'll fight 'im till I run him off or kill 'im, but I'M KEEPIN' ALL MY COWS."

    Third Bull: "I've only been here a year, and so far you guys have only let me have 10 cows to "take care of". I may not be as big as you fellows (yet) but I am young and virile, so I simply MUST keep all MY cows."

    They had just finished their big talk when an eighteen-wheeler pulls up in the middle of the pasture with only ONE ANIMAL IN IT: the biggest Son-of-Another-Bull these guys had ever seen! At 4700 pounds, each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the breaking point.

    First Bull: "Ahem...You know, it's actually been some time since I really felt I was doing all my cows justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few for our new friend."

    Second Bull: "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of if I just stay on the opposite end of the pasture from HIM. I'm certainly not looking for an argument."

    They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting.

    First Bull: "Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it."

    Third Bull: "Sh*t, he can have ALL my cows. I'm just making sure he knows I'm a bull"

    She disappears into the woods and quickly comes back with a heaping helping of haggis. When he has choked it down, she asks, "Would you like something to drink?"

    "Och, aye! That haggis has made me verra hungry and I wad verra much like a drink!"

    She goes off into the woods again and returns with a bottle of 75-year-old single-malt Scotch whiskey. The Scotsman is beginning to think that he's in heaven when the unclad nymphet leans closer and says, "Would you like to play around?"

    There were two guys on a motorcycle driving down the road. The driver was wearing a leather jacket that didn't have a zipper or any buttons. Finally he stopped the bike and told the other guy, "I can't drive anymore with the air hitting me in my chest." After thinking for a while he decided to put the coat on backwards to block the air from hitting him. So they were driving down the road and they came around this curb and wrecked. The farmer that lived there called the police and told them what happened. The police asked him, "are either of them showing any life signs?" The farmer then said, "Well, that first one was 'til I turned his head around the right way."

    How To Write A Recommendation Letter That You Don't Really Mean


    THE PROBLEM

    Having to write letters of recommendation for people with very dubious qualifications can cause serious legal troubles in a time when laws have eroded the confidentiality of business letters. In most states, job applicants have the right to read the letters of recommendations and can even file suit against the writer if the contents are negative.

    THE SOLUTION

    Here is an arsenal of statements that can be read two ways:
    You are able to state a negative opinion of the ex-employees poor work habits, while allowing the ex-employee to believe that it is high praise. When the writer uses these, whether perceived correctly or not by the ex-employee, the phrases are virtually litigation-proof.

      "In my opinion," you say as sincerely as you can manage, "you will be very fortunate to get this person to work for you."
    2. To describe a person who is totally inept:
      "I most enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no qualifications whatsoever."
    3. To describe an ex-employee who had problems getting along with fellow workers:
      "I am pleased to say that this candidate is a former colleague of mine."
    4. To describe a candidate who is so unproductive that the job would be better left unfilled:
      "I can assure you that no person would be better for the job."
    5. To describe a job applicant who is not worth further consideration:
      "I would urge you to waste no time in making this candidate an offer of employment."
    6. To describe a person with lackluster credentials:
      "All in all, I cannot say enough good things about this candidate or recommend him too highly."

    Smarter Sex

    A woman and a man are involved in a car accident but it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, 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 fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days." The man replied, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!

    The woman continued, "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." Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man shakes his head in agreement, opens it and takes a few very large swigs from the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately 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..."

    Creative Problems

    In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Quickly, God was faced with a class action suit for failure to file an environmental impact statement. God was granted a temporary permit for the project, but was stymied with the cease and desist order for the earthly part.

    Then God said, "Let there be light!"

    Immediately, the officials demanded to know how the light would be made. Would there be strip mining? What about thermal pollution?

    God explained that the light would come from a large ball of fire. God was granted provisional permission to make light, assuming that no smoke would result from the ball of fire, and that he would obtain a building permit and to conserve energy, He would have the light out half the time. God agreed and offered to call the light "Day" and the darkness "Night".

    The officials replied that they were not interested in semantics.
    God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plant yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit."

    The EPA agreed, so long as only native seed was used.
    Then God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth."

    The officials pointed out that this would require approval from the Department of Game coordinated with the Heavenly Wildlife Federation and the Audobon Society. Everything was okay until God said the project would be completed in six days.

    The officials said it would take at least two hundred days to review the applications and the impact statement. After that there would be a public hearing. Then there would be ten to twelve months before...
    At this point God created Hell.

    After church on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, "Mom, I've decided I'm going to be a minister when I grow up."

    "That's okay with us," the mother said, "But what made you decide to be a minister?"

    "Well," the boy replied, "I'll have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still and listen."

      You decide to:

      B. If you're performing the Heimlich maneuver.
      C. If you're a professional baseball player and a teammate hits a homerun to win the World Series, you may hug him, provided that:
      (1) He is legally within the base path,
      (2) Both of you are wearing sufficient protection, and

    5. In your opinion, the ideal pet is:

      A. A cat.
      B. A dog.

    6. You have been seeing a woman for several years. She's attractive and intelligent, and you always enjoy being with her. One leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy-you're watching a football game; she's reading the papers-when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but, she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going. She says she's not asking whether you want to get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together.

      What do you say?
      A. That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you don't want to rush it.

    8. Okay, so you have decided that you truly love a woman and you want to spend the rest of your life with her - sharing the joys and the sorrows, the world has to offer, come what may. How do you tell her?

    Rev. Norton's Golf Game

    The Reverend Francis Norton woke up Sunday morning and, realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to say Mass for him that day. As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish.

    Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!

    At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"

    The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not."

    Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. IT WAS A 420--YARD HOLE IN ONE!

    St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?"

    The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to tell?"

    Heavenly Competition


    Sent in by RaeLee

    Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer.This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity.

    Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better." Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, "B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?"

    God chuckles, "Everybody knows...Jesus saves."

    Big Bic

    Two friends were playing golf when one pulled out a cigar but he didn't have a lighter so he asked his friend if he had one.

    "I sure do," he replied and reached into his golf bag and pulled out a 12 inch Bic lighter.

    "Wow!" said his friend, "where did you get that monster."

    "I got it from my genie."

    "You have a genie," he asked?

    "Yes, he's right here in my golf bag."

    "Could I see him?"

    He opens his golf bag and out pops the genie. The friend says, "I'm a good friend of your master. Will you grant me one wish?"

    "Yes I will," the genie said.

    So he asks him for a million bucks and the genie hops back into the golf bag and leaves him standing there waiting for his million bucks. Suddenly, the sky begins to darken and the sound of a million ducks flying overhead is heard.

    The friend tells his golfing partner, "I asked for a million bucks not ducks!"

    He answers, "I forgot to tell you the genie is hard of hearing. Do you really think I asked him for a 12 inch Bic?"

    A Guy in a Bar Leans Over...

    The first guy says, "Nah. I don't want to have to explain it three times."

    Patron: There's a fly in my soup!
    Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.

    Patron: A SOUP bowl!

    Rev. Norton's Golf Game

    The Reverend Francis Norton woke up Sunday morning and, realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to say Mass for him that day. As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish.

    Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!

    At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"

    The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not."

    Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. IT WAS A 420--YARD HOLE IN ONE!

    St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?"

    The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to tell?"

    Heavenly Competition


    Sent in by RaeLee

    Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer.This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity.

    Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better." Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, "B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?"

    God chuckles, "Everybody knows...Jesus saves."

    Big Bic

    Two friends were playing golf when one pulled out a cigar but he didn't have a lighter so he asked his friend if he had one.

    "I sure do," he replied and reached into his golf bag and pulled out a 12 inch Bic lighter.

    "Wow!" said his friend, "where did you get that monster."

    "I got it from my genie."

    "You have a genie," he asked?

    "Yes, he's right here in my golf bag."

    "Could I see him?"

    He opens his golf bag and out pops the genie. The friend says, "I'm a good friend of your master. Will you grant me one wish?"

    "Yes I will," the genie said.

    So he asks him for a million bucks and the genie hops back into the golf bag and leaves him standing there waiting for his million bucks. Suddenly, the sky begins to darken and the sound of a million ducks flying overhead is heard.

    The friend tells his golfing partner, "I asked for a million bucks not ducks!"

    He answers, "I forgot to tell you the genie is hard of hearing. Do you really think I asked him for a 12 inch Bic?"

    A Guy in a Bar Leans Over...

    A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a "redneck" joke?"

    The guy next to him replies, "Before you tell that joke you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs. and a redneck. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", 225 lbs. and a redneck. The fella next to him is 6'5", 250 lbs. and a redneck. Do you still want to tell that joke?"

    The first guy says, "Nah. I don't want to have to explain it three times."

    Raisin Bread


    Sent in by RaeLee A general store owner hires a young female clerk with a penchant for very short skirts. One day a young man enters the store, glances at the clerk, and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. "I`d like some raisin bread, please," the man says politely. The clerk nods and climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread located on the very top shelf. The man, standing almost directly beneath her, is provided with an excellent view. As the clerk retrieves the bread, a small group of male customers gather around the young man, looking in the same direction. Pretty soon each person is asking for raisin bread, just to see the clerk climb up and down. After a few trips, the clerk is tired and irritated. She stops and fumes at the top of the ladder, glaring at the men standing below. She notices an elderly man standing amongst the throng.

    "Is yours raisin too?" the clerk yells testily.
    "No," croaks the feeble old man...."But it`s startin` to twitch."

    "The 50th Anniversary"

    An elderly couple decide to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary by reliving their honeymoon. They get a reservation for the honeymoon suite in the same hotel at the same resort. After waking the next morning to a room service breakfast they begin eating in the nude.

    The wife says "Oh Harold! This is just like fifty years ago! My breasts feel all warm and tingly!"

    To which he replies "Well, they ought to, Gladys... One is a hanging in your oatmeal, and the other is in your coffee!"

    "Gray Hair"

    A senior citizen decided to visit the social security office to sign up for his benefits. Upon his arrival the clerk asked for proof of his age. When he reached for his wallet the embarrassed man realized he had left it home. After explaining his problem to the clerk, she replied, "Don't worry, just open your shirt, and if your chest hair is gray you will qualify." The senior citizen opened up his shirt and was soon signed up for his benefits.

    Upon arriving home, he related the story to his wife. She looked at him, smiled and said, "Too bad you didn't drop your pants. You would have qualified for disability too!"

    Boat Owners


    Sent in by RaeLee

    There were these two twins Joe and John. Joe was the owner of an old dilapidated boat. It just happened John's wife died the same day Joe's boat sank. A few days later, a kindly old woman saw Joe, and mistaking him for John stated "I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You must feel just terrible." Joe, thinking she was talking about the boat said, "Hell No! In fact, I'm sorta glad to be rid of her. She was a rotten ole thing from the beginning. Her bottom was all shriveled up and she smelled like old dead fish. She was always losing her water. She had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in front too. Every time I used her, her hole got bigger and she leaked like crazy. I guess what finally finished her off was when I rented her to these four guys looking for a good time. I warned them that she wasn't very good, but they wanted to use her anyhow. The darn fools tried to get in her all at once and she split right up the middle"...

    The old woman fainted!

    DANGERFIELD'S BEST ONE-LINERS


    Sent in by RaeLee

    A girl phoned me the other day and said Come on over, there's nobody home.
    I went over. Nobody was home.

    If it weren't for pickpockets I'd have no sex life at all.

    And we were poor too.
    Why if I wasn't born a boy.... I'd have nothing to play with.

    During sex my girlfriend always wants to talk to me.
    Just the other night she called me from a hotel.

    One day as I came home early from work, I saw a guy jogging naked.
    I said to the guy... Hey buddy .... why are you doing that?
    He said ....Because you came home early.

    Its been a rough day.
    I got up this morning ... put on a shirt and a button fell off.
    I picked up my briefcase and the handle came off.
    I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

    When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.

    I could tell that my parents hated me.
    My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

    My mother never breast fed me.
    She told me that she only liked me as a friend.

    My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

    When I was born .... the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father .... I'm very sorry.
    We did everything we could...... But he pulled through.

    My mother had morning sickness -- after I was born.

    I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father.
    He said he wanted more proof.

    Once when I was lost..... I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents.
    I said to him .... do you think we'll ever find them?
    He said ... I don't know kid .... there are so many places they can hide.

    My wife made me join a bridge club.
    I jump off next Tuesday.

    I worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get.

    I went to see my doctor.
    Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror... I feel like throwing up; What's wrong with me?
    He said...I don't know but your eyesight is perfect.

    My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy.
    I told him ... If you don't mind I'd like a second opinion.
    He said .... Alright....you're ugly too!

    When I was born the doctor took one look at my face.. turned me over and said. Look ... twins!

    I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills.
    My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

    French Pilot

    Pierre, a French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the river Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air, so Marie leans over to Pierre and says "Pierre, kiss me!"

    So our hero grabs a bottle of red wine and splashes it on Marie's lips. "What are you doing, Pierre?" shrieks Marie.

    "Well, my name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have red meat I like to have red wine!"

    His answer is good enough for Marie and things begin to heat up. So she says "Pierre, kiss me lower."

    Our hero rips off her blouse, grabs a bottle of white wine and starts pouring it all over her breasts.

    "Pierre, what are you doing?"

    "My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I have white meat I like to have white wine!"

    They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up. Marie leans over once more and softly whispers into his ear "Pierre, kiss me lower."

    Pierre tears off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and sprinkles it all over her pubic hair. He grabs a match and lights the Cognac, setting her on fire.

    Patting the flames out furiously, Marie screams, "PIERRE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!?"

    "My name is Pierre, the French Fighter Pilot, and when I go down, I go down in flames."

    Mr. Schitt

    Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says, "you don't know Jack Schitt". Now, you can handle the situation. Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Knee-deep Schitt, Inc.

    In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Schitt, the twins; Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt, a high school dropout.

    After being married for 15 years, Jack and Noe divorced. Noe later married Mr. Sherlock and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was known as Noe chitt-Sherlock.

    Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they produced a cowardly son, Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseparable throughout childhood and consequently, married the Happens brothers in dual ceremonies.

    The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd, and Horse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned with his new bride, Pisa Schitt.

    Now, when someone say's you don't know Jack Schitt, you can correct them.

    Close Milk Examination

    A question had appeared in an examination which read, "Give four uses of breast milk?" A student began to answer the question.

    1. No need to boil.
    2. Cats can't steal them.
    3. Available whenever necessary.

    But the fourth point eluded him. When there were barely a couple of minutes for the exam to close the much required fourth point flashed to his mind. So he completed the answer by writing

    1. Available in attractive containers.

    Jet Fuel

    A couple of drinking buddies, who are airplane mechanics, are in the hanger at Dallas-Fort Worth; it's fogged in and they have nothing to do.

    One of them says to the other, "Man, have you got anything to drink?"

    "Nah, but I hear you can drink jet fuel and it'll kinda give you a buzz."

    So they get smashed and have a beautiful time; like only drinkin' buddies can do.

    The following morning, one of them wakes up and he expects his head will explode if he gets out of bed. But it doesn't. He gets up and feels good, in fact he feels great - NO hangover!

    The phone rings, it's his buddy.

    The buddy says "Hey, how do you feel?"

    He says, "I feel great!!"

    The buddy says, "I feel great too!! You don't have a hangover?"

    He says, "No - that jet fuel is great stuff, no hangover - we ought to do this more often."

    "Yeah, we could, but there's just one thing."

    "What's that?"

    "Did you fart yet?"

    "What??"

    "Did you FART yet??!!!!!!!"

    "No..."

    Live Rabbit

    A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead.

    The driver felt so awful, he began to cry. A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.

    "I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

    The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit.

    Miraculously the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 yards away the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved and hopped down the road, another 50 yards, turned, waved and hopped another 50 yards.

    The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can!!

    He ran over to the woman and asked, "What is in your spray can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

    The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."

    BLONDES AT THE PEARLY GATES

    Three blondes died and are at the pearly gates of heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple question.

    St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?" The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and are thankful..."

    "Wrong!," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second blonde the same question, "What is Easter?" The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus."

    St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in disgust, tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his glasses at the third blonde and asks, "What is Easter?"

    The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter in the eyes, "I know what Easter is." "Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.

    "Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."

    St. Peter smiles broadly with delight.

    The third blonde continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out... and, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter."

    IF THE APOSTLES WERE COLLEGE STUDENTS...



    Then Jesus took his disciples up on the mountain and gathered them around him. And he taught them, saying,
    "Blessed are the poor in spirit...
    Blessed are those who mourn...
    Blessed are the meek...
    Blessed are you who thirst for righteousness...
    Blessed are the merciful...
    Blessed are the pure in heart...
    Blessed are the peacemakers...
    Blessed are you who are persecuted...
    When these things begin to happen, rejoice, for your reward will be great in Heaven."

    And Simon Peter said, "Do we have to write this down?"
    And Phillip said, "Will this be on the test?"
    And John said, "Would you repeat that?"
    And Andrew said, "John the Baptist's disciples don't have to learn this stuff."
    And Matthew said, "Huh?"
    And Judas said, "What's this got to do with real life?"

    Then one of the Pharisees, an expert in the law, said, "I don't see any of this in your syllabus. Do you have a lesson Plan? Is there a summary? Where's the student guide? Will there be a follow-up assignment?"

    Thomas, who had missed the sermon, came to Jesus privately and said, "Did we do anything important today?"

    . . . Jesus wept.

    Men's Sexual Desires

    God told man, "I'm going to give you ten years of a normal sex life."
    Man said, "That's not enough. The way I feel, I need much more."
    God said, "If I give you something, don't complain."
    Man said, "But sex isn't just something."
    God said, "Look, I'm busy. We'll talk again."
    God called the King of the Beasts to him and said, "Lion, you've got twenty years of sex life." The lion said, "Ten will be enough."
    Man said, "Let me have the extra ten."
    God nodded and said, "You've got it."
    God gave the monkey twenty years. The monkey said that ten would be enough.
    Man raised his hand. God nodded and gave him the extra ten.
    Before the day was over, God had given man ten years the donkey didn't want and a final ten that parrots couldn't use.

    That may explain why men have ten normal years of sex, ten years of lion about it, ten years of monkeying around with it, ten years of being an ass about it, and ten years of talking about it!

    Subject: Business Sense????

    A man has been in business for many, many years and the business is going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide and he doesn't know what to do. He goes to the Priest to seek his advice. He tells the Priest about all of his problems in the business and asks the Priest what he should do.

    The Priest says "Take a beach chair and a bible and put them in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water's edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the Bible out and open it up. The wind will rifle the pages for a while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the Bible and it will tell you what to do."

    The man does as he is told. He places a beach chair and a Bible in his car and drives down to the beach. He sits on the chair at the water's edge and opens the Bible. The wind rifles the pages of the Bible and then stops at a particular page. He looks down at the Bible and sees what he has to do.

    Three months later the man and his family come back to see the Priest. The man is wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, The wife is all decked out with a full-length mink coat and the child is dressed in beautiful silk.

    The man hands the Priest a thick envelope full of money and tells him that he wants to donate this money to the church in order to thank the Priest for his wonderful advice. The Priest is delighted. He recognizes the man and asks him what advice in the bible brought this good fortune to him.

    The man replies: "Chapter 7."

    Subject: Mother in law!

    A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

    After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

    One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."

    "My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
