Re: Jokes
A man and his wife are in a restaurant, a beautiful young woman walks by and says "hi" to the man.
The wife asks "Who was that?" The man says "Well, I won't lie to you, that's my mistress" The woman says "I want a divorce!" The man says, "well, if we get divorced we'll have to sell the house, and our cottage on the cape, and I don't think we'll be able to afford the Mercedes" There is silence until dessert............... The woman asks "Who's that woman over there eating with George?" the man looks over and says "That's George's mistress" The woman pauses, then says "Our's is much prettier"

Re: Jokes
I'm pretty fond of prank phone calls (I plead the 5th
).I get a big kick out of the following one done by Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo Show in NYC and Miami where they wound up an Irish guy who was looking to get his name on his child's birth certificate but couldn't under NY law because he wasn't married: YouTube - Indian Irish Phone Call This is another link to it that isn't as clear but where you hear the initial radio jockeys explaining the background of the setup: YouTube - The Funniest Irish Prank Call Ever - America This one by a young Irish girl is a cute one where she calls a demolition company to knock down her school, and the group on the other side went along with it for laughs: YouTube - Hilarious Prank Call Funny Ireland Irish

Re: Jokes
Maxine cracks me up!!!!
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately; illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida . . ![]() Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation. + Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border. + Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies. + Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border. Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

Re: Jokes
It's Always Been Done Like That...
Start with a cage containing five apes. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the apes with cold water. After a while, another ape makes an attempt with the same result - all the apes are sprayed with cold water. This continues through several more attempts. Pretty soon, when another ape tries to climb the stairs, the other apes all try to prevent it. Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one ape from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new ape sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other apes attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five apes and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again, replace a third original ape with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four apes that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest ape. After replacing the fourth and fifth original apes, all the apes, which have been sprayed with cold water, have been replaced. Nevertheless, no ape ever again approaches the stairs. Why not? Because that's the way they've always done it, and that's the way it's always been around here. And that's how company policy begins.... |

Re: Jokes
In A Mental Hospital...
A Sadist, a Masochist, a Murderer, a Necrophile, a Zoophile and a Pyromaniac are all sitting on a bench in a Mental Institution, bored out of their minds... "How about having Sex with a Cat?" asked the Zoophile. "Let's have Sex with the Cat, and then Torture it," says the Sadist. "Let's have Sex with the Cat, Torture it and then Kill it," shouted the Murderer. "Let's have Sex with the Cat, Torture it, Kill it and then have Sex with it again," said the Necrophile. "Let's have sex with the Cat, Torture it, Kill it, have Sex with it again and then burn it," said the Pyromaniac. Silence took over... and the Masochist says: "Meow." |

Re: Jokes
The Tragedy
The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a Primary School Class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy". So the illustrious Reverend Jackson asks the class for an example of a "tragedy". One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a 'tragedy'?" No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "That would be an 'accident'..." A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a 'tragedy'?" "I'm afraid not," explains the exalted Reverend Sharpton. "That's what we would call a 'great loss'..." The room goes silent. No other children volunteered. Reverend Al searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a 'tragedy'?" Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand. In a stern voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a 'tragedy'?" "Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says little Johnny, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either!" |
