"This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest
for fun. I'm gonna have fun, and you're gonna have fun.
We're all gonna have so much 'fun, we'll need plastic
surgery to remove our goddamn smiles."

Jill recently bought a new Volkswagen Beetle, that bright
green color. The first day she had it she made all kinds
of excuses to run errands. One of these errands was to
pick up clothes at the dry cleaners and go to the grocery.
The dry cleaners and the grocery are in the same strip
mall so she got a few things at the grocery, then ran by
the cleaners and got the clothes. Having her hands full
she laid the clothes on top while putting the groceries
in the car.
When she got home she was beaming, "You wouldn't believe
how many people waved and honked their horns at the car
and me on the way home." she said to her kids, "people
must really think this car is neat!"
About that time a car pulled up in our drive and a man
got out with an armload of our clothes. "Excuse me," he
said, "but I've been trying to get your attention for
two miles, your clothes landed on my hood just after you
pulled out of the parking lot."

Pauly got a job as a casket salesman in the local funeral
home. He's talking to this old guy, who's come in to plan
his funeral for "one of these days."
"Now, sir," says Pauly, " think you'll want this model.
It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and a steal at
$4,000."
"No," said the old guy, "that's really too much for a
casket. How much is THIS one right here?"
"Oh," said Pauly, "it's the bottom of the line and is just
$1,000."
"I think I'd like that one," said the old guy.
"Wait just a minute, sir. This casket is very narrow. You
just lie down in here and TRY to spread your elbows!"

The Direct Object
Christopher's class was having an English lesson, and the teacher called on Christopher to recite a sentence with a direct object.
Christopher stood and thought, then said, "Teacher, everybody thinks you are beautiful."
"Why thank you, Christopher," the teacher said, blushing. "But what is the direct object?"
"A good report card next month," he replied.

The Aisle Seat
Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of
As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, 'That looks good, I'd really like one, too.' Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. He leaned over and asked his Arab neighbors... 'Why does it have to be this way?' 'How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?'
THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE MARINES. THE BEST!

Spaghetti Sauce
Becky prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party she was giving. In her
haste, however, she forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce, and it
sat on the counter all day. She was worried about spoilage, but it
was too late to cook up another batch. She called the local
sauce again.
That night, the phone rang during dinner, and one of the guests
volunteered to answer it. Becky's face dropped as the guest called
out, "It's the
spaghetti sauce turned out."
