(from Don) - $20

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter.  In his aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

 

This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

 

Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going though a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

 

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totally nearly $ 1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposit issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank. She explained that for more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.

 

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

(from Chas Young) - Life Support

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While watching basketball the other night, my partner and I were discussing life and death. I told her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.  If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

 

She promptly got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all my beer.

 

Some days I hate living with a smart lady.

1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it.

2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

3. How about never? Is never good for you?

4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying.

10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again...

(from Fred Silver) – Dwarf with a Lisp

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dwarf with a lisp goes to a stud farm to buy a horse, "I'd like to buy a horth" he says to the owner of the farm.

 

"What sort of horse ?" asks the owner.

 

"A female horth", the dwarf replies and so the owner takes him to his finest mare. "Nithe horth", says the dwarf, "Can I thee her eyth?"

 

The owner patiently picks up the dwarf and shows him the horse's eyes.  “Nithe eyth" says the dwarf, "Can I thee her teeth?". Again, the owner picks up the dwarf to show him the horse's teeth. "Nithe teeth, can I see her eerth?" the dwarf says.

 

By now the owner is getting a little fed up but again, picks up the dwarf and shows him the horse's ears. "Nithe eerth", says the dwarf, "Can I see her twot?"

 

With this, the owner picks up the dwarf and shoves his head deep inside the horse's vagina and holds him there for a few seconds before pulling him out and putting him down. The dwarf shakes his head and says, "Perhaps I should weefwaze that, can I see her wun awound?"

(fromNeil Stenlake) - Valentine’s Day Rhymes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are entries to a Washington Post competition asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first line but .... The least romantic second

line.

 

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
But I only slept with you, because I was pissed.

 

*************************

I thought that I could love no other

Until, that is, I met your brother.

 

************************

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.

But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

 

**************************

 

Of loving beauty you float with grace

If only you could hide your face.

 

****************************

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot

This describes everything you are not.

 

******************************

I want to feel your sweet embrace

But don't take that paper bag off of your face.

 

*******************************

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

 

************************************

 

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:

Marrying you screwed up my life.

 

************************************

I see your face when I am dreaming.

That's why I always wake up screaming.

 

***************************************

 

My love, you take my breath away.

What have you stepped in to smell this way?

****************************************

 

My feelings for you no words can tell

Except for maybe "Go To Hell".

 

*******************************************

What inspired this amorous rhyme?

Two parts vodka, one part lime.

(from DSkin) - Cajun Rationale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

  Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard,  got called up to active duty one day. Boudreaux's first assignment was to a  military induction center. Because he was a good talker, they assigned him  the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the  GI insurance to which they were entitled.

  Before long, the officer in charge of the induction center began noticing  that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive  supplemental form of GI insurance. This was odd, because it would cost these  low-income recruits $30.00 per month for the higher coverage, compared to  what the government was already providing at no charge.

  The officer decided he wouldn't ask Boudreaux directly about his selling  techniques. Instead, he'd sit in the back of the room at the next briefing  and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch.

  Boudreaux stood up before the latest group of inductees and said, "If you  has da normal GI insurans an' you goes to Iraq an' gets youself killed, da  governmen' pays you beneficiary $20,000. If you takes out da supplemental  insurans, which cost you only t'irty dollars a mons, den da the governmen'  gots ta pay you beneficiary $200,000!

  "Now," Boudreaux concluded, "which bunch you tink dey gonna send ta Iraq  first?

He replies, "I'm going to the doctor."

"Why, are you sick?"

"Nope, I'm going to get me some of that Viagra stuff."

Immediately the wife starts working and positioning herself to get  out of her rocker and begins to put on her coat. The old man looks at her and says &q
