I thought cleaning the gene-pool by your own stupid death was a major factor in winning the Darwin award? #1 is the only one that qualifies.

My wife put some left over white bread in a vacuum food sealer bag once and then vacuum sealed it, she was disappointed when it didn't re-inflate.
May not qualify for the Darwin, but was really funny!

Many many years ago while I was still in school I decided it was time to convert from liberalism when I saw a sign that said "Free Firewood" and the first thing that came to mind was: Who the (bleep) is Firewood, and what the (bleep) did he do?

Some times it is the simple things that tell you the most truth.

A prayer was answered....

Praise for Answered Prayers

At Sunday's worship service, the minister 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 a Praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, 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 a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tom must
have experienced.

"Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain. We
prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it
turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to
hold it in place."

Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery
performed on Tom.

"Now," she announced in a quavering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the
doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."

All the men sighed with relief. The minister rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Tom."

The entire congregation held its breath.

"I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum."

Dog Story

Dog Story

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale ' He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

'You talk?' he asks.

'Yep,' the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says '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. 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. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.'

'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

'Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff.

Copy+paste from email (HMMMMMMMMMM?????)

A woman was called in front of a Texas grand jury for possible manslaughter charges after she shot a mugger in the back as he was running away with her purse. (She had her hand on her gun in the purse when he grabbed the purse and so, although he got the purse, she was left with the revolver in her hand.)

When asked by the grand jury why she shot the man 6 times in the back as he was running away, she replied: "Because when I pulled the trigger the 7th time, it only went 'click'...".

She was acquitted of all charges.

That's the way it is in Texas.

just fun

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power a few weeks past.

At first, I felt a pride and patriotism as I watched Barack Obama take his oath of office.

However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President.

It was then that I realized how far America 's military had deteriorated.

Every last one of them missed.

Back in the 1500's...






The next time you are washing your hands




and complain because the water temperature isn't






just how you like it, think about how things used to be.





Here are some facts about the 1500s:

These are interesting...


Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May,


and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell,
so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.
Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege

of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally
the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually
lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water..

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.

It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other
small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery
and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying It's raining cats and dogs.

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a

real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up
your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the
top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying,

Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet,
so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on,
they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside.
A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold.

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)


In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always

hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot.
They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the
stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold ov ernight and then
start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there
for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold,
peas porridge in the pot nine days old...


Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors

came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man
could bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all
sit around and chew the fat..

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of

the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often
with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf,

the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on

the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around
and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom
of holding a wake.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to

bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a
bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized
they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist
of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie
it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,
saved by the bell, or was considered a dead ringer.

Train tickets...

TRAIN TICKET

Three women and three men[ are traveling by train
to the football game.

At the station, the three men each buy a ticket
and watch as the three

Women buy just one ticket.

"How are the three of you going to travel on
only one ticket?"

Asks one

Of the men.

"Watch and learn," answers one of the
women.

They all board the train. The three men take
their respective seats

But

All three women cram into a toilet together and
close the door.

Shortly after the trai
n has departed, the
conductor comes around

Collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet
door and says, "Ticket, please."

The door opens just a crack, and a single arm
emerges with a ticket in Hand.

The conductor takes it and moves on.

The men see this happen and agree it was quite a
clever idea; so, after the

Game, they decide to do the same thing on the
return trip and save some Money.

When they get to the station they buy a single
ticket for the return trip

But See, to their astonishment, that the three women
don't buy any ticket All!!

"How are you going to travel without a
ticket?" asks one Perplexed man.

"Watch and learn," answer the women.

When they board the train, the three men cram
themselves into a toilet, and


The three women cram into a toilet just down the
way.


Shortly after the train is on its way, one of the
women leaves her toilet

And

Walks over to the toilet in which the men are
hiding. She knocks on their Door and says, "Ticket please."

lesser known proverbs

Reminds me of Stephen Wright:

  • I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place.
  • Last week, I went to a furniture store to look for a decaffeinated coffee table. They couldn't help me.
  • What's another word for "thesaurus"?
  • When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask if I'm leaving.
  • When I was a kid, we had a quicksand box in the backyard. I was an only child . . . eventually.

  • I replaced the headlights on my car with strobe lights. Now it looks like I'm the only one moving.
  • I wrote a song, but I can't read music. Every time I hear a new song on the radio, I think "Hey, maybe I wrote that."
  • I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now when I get pulled over the cop looks at it (moving it nearer and farther, trying to see it clearly)... and says, "Here, you can go."
  • I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.
  • I turned my air conditioner the other way around, and it got cold out. The weatherman said, "I don't understand it. It was supposed to be 80 degrees out today." I said "Oops . . ."
  • I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats on them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles.

  • I bought a house on a one-way dead-end road. I don't know how I got there.
  • I have a hobby. I have the world's largest collection of sea shells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen some of it.
  • I Xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra Xerox machine.
  • Last week I forgot how to ride a bicycle.
  • My school colors were clear.
  • I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wakeup letter.
  • I'm taking La maze classes. I'm not having a baby, I'm just having trouble breathing.
  • When I was in high school, I got in trouble with my girlfriend's Dad. He said, "I want my daughter back by 8:15." I said, "The middle of August? Cool!"
  • My girlfriend's weird. One day she asked me, "If you could know how and when you were going to die, would you want to know?" I said, "No." She said, "Okay, forget it."
  • I went for a walk last night and she asked me how long I was going to be gone. I said, "The whole time."

  • I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing "Happy Birthday".
  • I accidentally installed the deer whistles on my car backwards. Now everywhere I go, I'm chased by a herd of deer.
  • I got stopped by a cop the other day. He said, "Why'd you run that stop sign?" I said, "Because I don't believe everything I read."
  • It doesn't matter what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature.
  • Yesterday, my eyeglass prescription ran out.
  • I'm a peripheral visionary.

A man walks into a pharmacy, buys a condom, then walks out of the
store laughing hysterically. The pharmacist thinks this is weird, but, hey, there's no law preventing weird people from buying condoms. Maybe it's a good thing.

The next day, the man comes back to the store, purchases another condom, and
once again he leaves the store laughing wildly. This piques the interest of
the pharmacist. What's so funny about buying a rubber, anyway?

So he tells his clerk, "If this guy ever comes back, I want you to follow him
to see where he goes."

Sure enough, the next day the laugher is back. He buys the condom, starts
cracking up, then leaves. The pharmacist tells his clerk to go follow the
guy.

About an hour later, the clerk comes back to the store.
"Did you follow him? Where did he go?" asks the pharmacist.
The clerk replies "Your house."

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
An atheist was walking through the woods.

'What majestic trees!
'What powerful rivers!
'What beautiful animals!
He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river,he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.

He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him..

He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer.

He tripped & fell on the ground.

He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & 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, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.'

'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 you could make the BEAR a Christian'?

'Very well,' said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:

'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.

It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word

It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two in it, but, here is one:

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

Wipe that smile off your face.

Subject: When God created man

Or at least I think this is how it goes...

* In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. And the Earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
* And Satan said, "It doesn't get any better than this."

* And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
* And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit," and God saw that it was good.
* And Satan said, "There goes the neighborhood."

* And God said, "Let us make Man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth."
* And so God created Man in his own image; male and female created he them.
* And God looked upon Man and Woman and saw that they were lean and fit.
* And Satan said, "I know how I can get back in this game."

* And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
* And Satan created McDonald's.
* And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double cheeseburger.
* And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?"
* And Man said, "Supersize them."
* And Man gained 5 pounds.

* And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man found so fair.
* And Satan brought forth chocolate.
* And Woman gained 5 pounds.

* And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad."
* And Satan brought forth Ben and Jerry's.
* And Woman gained 10 pounds.

* And God said, "I have sent thee heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them."
* And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter.
* And Man gained 10 pounds and his bad cholesterol went through the roof.

* And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds.
* And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2.
* And Man gained another 20 pounds.

* And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil."

* And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.
* And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them.
* And he created sour cream dip also.
* And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol.
* And Satan saw and said, "It is good."

* And Man went into cardiac arrest.
* And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.
* And Satan created HMOs.

And now you know.


Do you REALLY think obamacare would be better?

Little Johnny

Little Johnny has a great history lesson................

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said, 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Johnny, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775", he said.

"Very good! Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth'"?

Again, no response except from Little Johnny, "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."

The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed; Little Johnny knows more about history than you do."

She heard a loud whisper: "F@#$ the Indians."

"Who said that?" she demanded.

Little Johnny put his hand up, "General Custer, 1862."

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."

The teacher glares around and asks, "All right! Now who said that?"

Again, Little Johnny says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"

Little Johnny jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little ****. If you say anything else, I'll kill you."

Little Johnny frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004."

The teacher fainted.

And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh ****! We're screwed!"

Little Johnny bowed his head and said quietly, "The American people, November 4, 2008."

Being an HMO member, I'd be more specific and say "And Satan created benefit caps on medical care."

Humor like this would be good on the political chit-chat thread.
Politich has no humor today.

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk.. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.’

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?’

’Oh, I don’t know,’ said the stranger. ‘How about nuclear power?’ and he smiles.

OK, ‘ she said. ‘That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?’

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.....’

To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know crap?
