Hi Everyone!  

Our doggie Nathan (he’s a hot dog) woke up from a bad thunderstorm at 4:15am … like new parents, we stayed up with him to calm him down … needless to say, I feel like a zombie!  Hopefully, this weeks’ collection will make some sense to you and give you the much needed chuckles!

Stay great!

(from Neil Stenlake) - Peaches

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

A Texas Rancher was selling his peaches door to door. He knocked on a door and a shapely 40 something lady dressed in a very sheer negligee answered the door. He raised his basket to show her the peaches and asked, "Would you like to buy some peaches?"

 

She pulled the top of the negligee to one side and asked, "Are they as firm as this?"

 

He nodded his head and said, "Yes ma’am," and a little tear ran from his eye.

 

Then she pulled the other side of her negligee off asking, "Are they nice and pink like this?"

 

The farmer said, "Yes," and another tear came from the other eye.

 

Then the lady unbuttoned the bottom of her negligee and asked, "Are they as fuzzy as this?"

 

He again said, "Yes," and broke down crying.

 

The lady asked, "Why on earth are you crying?"

 

Drying his eyes he replied, "The drought got my corn, the flood got my soy beans, a tornado leveled my barn and now I'm gonna get screwed out of my peaches."

(from Maureen Zack) – A Very Bad Day

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

A little guy is sitting at the bar just  staring at his drink for half an hour when this big,  trouble-making, truck driver steps up next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down  in one swig.   

The poor little guy breaks down and starts crying.   "Come on man, I was just giving you a hard time.” says the truck driver.   “I’ll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man crying."   

"This is the worst day of my life." says the little guy between sobs.   "I can't seem to do anything right!   I overslept, was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. Then when I went to the parking lot, I found my car   was stolen and I have no insurance.   I grabbed a cab home and after the cab left, I discovered my wallet was still in the cab.   At home, I found my wife in bed with the neighbor!   Absolutely nothing is going right for me !   I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life and then you show up and  drink the poison ! !"

The Bathtub Test

 

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to  time, and this should help get you started. During a visit to the mental asylum,  a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined  whether or not a  patient  should be institutionalized.

 

 "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a   teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her  to empty the bathtub."

 

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use  the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

 

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug.

 

DID YOU PASS, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?

(from Don) - Ole

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

Ole was walking home late at night and sees a woman in the shadows. "Twenty dollars," she whispers.

 

He'd never been with a hooker before, but he decides, what the hell, it's only twenty bucks. So they hide in the bushes. They're going "at it" for a minute when all of a sudden a light flashes on them -   it's a police officer.

 

"What's going on here, people?" asks the officer.

 

"I'm making love to my wife ," Ole answers indignantly.

 

"Oh, I'm sorry," says the cop, "I didn't know."

 

"Well," Ole says, "neither did I, until you shined that light in her face."

(from Irving4) – Lessons to be Learned from Typing the Wrong Email Address

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

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a  particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where  they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic  schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, the  husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife  flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel.There  was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his  wife.However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address,  and without realizing his error, sent the email.

      Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home  from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to  glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email  expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first  message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room,  found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

      To: My loving wife
      Subject: I've arrived
      Date: April 6, 2006

      I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here  now and you are allowed to send email's to your loved ones. I've just  arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been  prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then.  Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India .

The Personnel Manager said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job."

Mujibar said, "I am ready"

The manager said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green."

 Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister manager, I am ready"

The manager said, "Go ahead."

Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"

Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems.

 

 

Warning:

 

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of   Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military  action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers. And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by IBM customer service reps.

 

 It's getting ugly.

(from Stan Kegel via Syman) - Celts

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

"You know the Celts used to make bows of yew."

"Of me? Huh?"

"No, of yew-wood."

"I would what?"

"You wouldn't do anything. The Celts did."

"I'm sorry. You lost me."

"That's getting easier to do every year. I said, the Celts used yew to make bows."

"I'm sure I'd remember if they had.

"You aren't quite old enough to remember that."

"So they used me when I was just a babe in arms? I couldn't have been very useful."

"A situation which hasn't improved with age. I'm talking about the tree, which is called yew, that the Celts used to make their bows."

"Wouldn't it have been simpler with ribbons?'

(from Tom Sokolowski) – Moishe Goldberg

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

One dark night  outside a small town near Poulsbo,Washington, a fire started inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into massive flames.

 The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. When the volunteer  fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved. I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact."

  But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became        desperate.   As  the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was now $100,000  to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files.

   From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the nearby Chasidic Jewish rural township volunteer fire company composed mainly of Jewish, ultra-orthodox men over the age of 65.    To everyone's amazement, that little run-down fire engine roared right past all the newer sleek engines that were parked outside the plant.

  Without even slowing down it drove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside,  the other firemen watched as the Chasidic old timers jumped off  right in the  middle of the fire and fought it back on all sides.  

It was a performance and effort never seen before.  Within  a short time, the Chasidic old timers had extinguished the fire and had saved the secret formulas.  

The grateful chemical company president announced that for such a superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters.  

The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking their chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"  

"Vel," said Moishe Goldberg, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first thing ve gonna do is fix da brakes on dat focking truck!"
