Chicago Cab Driver
On a visit to Chicago, I was eager to visit a posh department store about a dozen blocks from our hotel. My husband obligingly hailed a cab. "The lady wants to go to Neiman Marcus," he told the driver. The cabby looked over his shoulder at us. "And the gentleman?" he asked, "Does he want to go to the bank?"

A guy walks into a post office ...
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing Love stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them. His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, Guess who? But why? asks the man. I'm a divorce lawyer, the man replies.

"French Dream"
A boy was having a lot of difficulty in French class.
To encourage him, his teacher said, "You'll know you're really beginning to get it when you start dreaming in French."
The boy ran into class all excited one day, saying, "Teacher, teacher! I had a dream last night and everyone was talking in French!"
"Great!" said the teacher; "what were they saying?"
"I don't know," the boy replied; "I couldn't understand them."

First of all there are a few changes in the drien laws from up north.
We don't use turn signals, just tell someone where you are going and everybody else will know.
Speed limits are just sugestions, but if ya wreck, we told ya it was to fast.
Stop signs and yield signs are just sugestions, you don't have to stop if ya in a hurry.

Redneck Family Tree
Many many years ago when I was twenty three, I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother. Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild. For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.

Winter Survival
There is an ugly rumor that we can't drive in the snow. It's not like we southerners couldn't learn to drive in the snow. It's just that we never get a chance. And when we do, Watch Out.
First, we go about creating the ever popular three-rut road. This is acomplished when the first car, heading north, drives with it's ledt tires where the center line would be if you could see it. The cars heading south also drive with there left tires in the center of the road. This forms a three-rut road and makes for some interesting driving when autos meet each other.
Next, we never drive over one and a half miles an hour. This is so that we can never build up enough speed to get any traction and spend most of our time spinning our wheels and sliding back and forth. If we do get up enough speed, we like to apply our brakes briskly and suddenly.
The North has snowplows and all sorts of snow removal equipment at it's disposal. Most municipalities in the South have an old shovel and some ice cream salt. We do have, however, three or four guys in each community who ride around in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. THey will pull you out of the ditch or run you in it according to their mood.
As soon as we hear the word snow mentioned in the weather forecast, we are all obligated to report to the nearest grocery store immediatley. This is becouse many southerners starved to death in a blizard during the Civil War when they came home with Moon Pies instead of stocking up on bread and milk. If you get a good dusting of snow today you have to have a couple of loaves of bread and a good milk cow or you're doomed.
There is a law in the south that if snow is spotted, schools are to shut down immediately. MInd you, this is if snow is spotted anywhere in a 200-mile radius of the school. We call off school because we don't want our kidds riding home in the snow on those dangerous school buses. Then we put them on a garbage can lid, tie it to the back bumper of the pick up and pull them around on the interstate. It's great fun.

Biology Test
Students in biology were taking their final exam. The last
question
was,
"Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk," worth 70 points or none
at
all.
One student was hard put to think of seven advantages.
He wrote;
1. It is the perfect formula for the child.
2. It provides immunity against several diseases.
3. It is always at the right temperature.
4. It is inexpensive.
5. It bonds the child to the mother, & vice versa.
6. It is always available as needed.
And then the student was stuck. Finally, just before the bell indicating
the end of the test rang, he wrote;
7. It comes in really awesome containers.
He got an A

While dining, they discovered that their saltshaker
contained pepper and their pepper shaker was full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the bottles without
spilling, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly
this was a job for Mensa! The group debated and presented
ideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution
involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They
called the waitress over to dazzle her with their solution.
"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the
pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker..."
"Oh," the waitress interrupted. "Sorry about that." She
unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them.

Beethoven's Grave
A daring vacationer in Vienna is walking through a graveyard when all of a sudden she hears music. No one is around, so she starts looking to see where ita (tm)s coming from. She finally locates the source and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads, a oeLudwig van Beethoven.a Then she realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward. Puzzled, she leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with her. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but it is also being played backward. Curious, the ladies agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing and the expert concludes that the symphonies are in fact being played in reverse order. By the next day the word spread and a huge group gathered around the grave to hear the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker approaches the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music. "Oh, it's nothing to worry about" says the caretaker. "He's just decomposing!!"

hUMOR For July 2nd
Car Shopping
A couple had been looking at new cars for months. He wanted a simple truck and she wanted a fast little sports car so she could zoom through traffic and look like a princess. He would have settled for almost any old truck, but everything she wanted was way out of price range. "Look!" she said. "I want something that goes from 0 to 220 in 5 seconds or less. Valentines Day is coming up and you should surprise me with something really really great this year!" Soon Valentines Day arrived and she un-wrapped her brand new bathroom scale.

Playing House
A little girl and a little boy were at daycare. The girl approached the boy and said, "Hey Johnny, wanna play house?" He said, "Sure! What do you want me to do?" The girl replied, "I want you to communicate." He said to her, "That word is too big. I have no idea what it means." The little girl smirked and said, "Perfect. You can be the husband!"

Some people ask the secret of Anthony's long marriage. They take time to go to a restaurant two times a week: a little candlelight dinner, soft music, and a slow walk home. The Mrs. goes Tuesdays; He goes Fridays.

I was a salesman and always wore a shirt and tie which made me stand out in
Key West. Tourists would walk up to me and
ask me what to do at night. I would tell them that people gather at "Mallory
Square" to watch the sunset. There are street performers and very
interesting sights but most go there just to watch the sunset.
They would reply, "How often is that?"

A man and his wife are sitting in the living room and he says to her, "Just

machine. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."
His wife gets up and unplugs the TV.

Tough Life
A guy has one arm and decides he doesn't want to go on with life, not being able to do the things other guys can do with two arms. So, he goes up to the 20th story of a building and is trying to build up the nerve to jump. As he's standing there a guy comes walking on the sidewalk below. The one-armed man notice's that this other guy has NO arms at all. He watches as the guy stops on the sidewalk and starts dancing and spinning in circles. The one-armed man thinks to himself how selfish he is, in that he has one arm and is ready to end it all! So, he decides to go down and talk to the No-armed man. He goes down and walks up to the guy and says, a "Hey mana I've been up on the 20th floor considering to end it all because I have only One arm. Here you are with No arms and are dancing around. What's your deal?" The guy with No arms says, "Arrrrr - dude I'm NOT happy! My nose itches!!!" Moral: Think Differently. If you got no arms, get a friend to itch your nose.

The bum on a street
A bum asks a man for $2. The man asked, "Will you buy booze?" The bum said, "No." The man asked, "Will you gamble it away?" The bum said, "No." Then the man asked, "Will you come home with me so my wife can see what happens to a man who doesn't drink or gamble?"

Saving All The Seats
A man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh theatre. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The man groaned but didn't budge. The usher became impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager." Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager. In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?" "Sam," the man moaned. "Where ya from, Sam?" With pain in his voice Sam replied, "The balcony."

job but had no luck at the first few. I finally found one where the clerk
seemed experienced.
"Can you recommend something that will remind me of birthdays and
anniversaries?" I asked.
"Have you tried a wife?" he replied.

Chocolate Ice Cream
A man approached an ice cream van and said, "I'd like two
scoops of chocolate ice cream, please."
The girl behind the counter replied, "I'm very sorry, sir,
but our delivery didn't come this morning. We're out of
chocolate."
"In that case," the man continued, "I'll have two scoops of
chocolate ice cream."
"You don't understand, sir," the girl said. "We have no
chocolate."
"Then just give me some chocolate," he insisted.
Getting angrier by the second, the girl asked, "Sir, will
you spell 'van,' as in 'vanilla'?"
The man spelled, "V-A-N."
"Now spell 'straw,' as in 'strawberry.'"
"OK. 'S-T-R-A-W.'"
"Now," the girl asked, "spell 'stink,' as in 'chocolate.'"
The man hesitated and then looked confused as he replied,
"There is no stink in chocolate."
"That's what I've been trying to tell you!" she screamed.

When I was a newly commissioned Lieutenant in the Army, I was assigned as a
temporary assistant in an administrative office in a Military Intelligence
unit. One day a long came around with a cover sheet instructing all assigned
officers to read it and initial it as indication of their compliance. I
figured it meant me too, so I read and initialed it.
However, a few days later, it came back addressed specifically to me. An
attached note read:"You are not permanently assigned to this unit and are
thus not an authorized signee. Please erase your initials and initial your
erasure."
So I did.

While driving through Buffalo after a heavy snow storm, a motorist noted a

One night I was paired with a veteran of the game who was a
master strategist. With him at the helm, our troops crushed
one opponent after another, and after six games we were
undefeated. Suddenly, my fearless leader informed me his mom
wanted him to go to bed.
"How old are you?" I typed.
"Twelve," he replied. "How old are you?"
Feeling my face redden, I answered, "Ten."

Working at an airline ticket counter, I pulled up a passenger's
reservation that showed his name as "Cole, Pheven."

it right. I told him it's spelled with a ph."

Three Holy Men and a Bear
A priest, a Pentecostal preacher, and a rabbi all served as
chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in
Marquette. They would get together two or three times a week
for coffee and to talk shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people
isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to
preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided
to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods,
find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their
experience.
Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on
crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs,
went first. "Well," he said, "I went into the woods to find
me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from
the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me
and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy
water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became
as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to
give him first communion and confirmation."
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had
one arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip. In his
best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he claimed, "WELL,
brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I
FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from
God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me.
So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled
down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to
a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy
soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb.
We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."
The priest and the reverend both looked down at the rabbi,
who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and
traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He
was in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said,
"Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best
way to start."
+++++++++++++++++++
Separation
A man is waiting in line for a hit movie. Behind him are two women. The usher comes along and says that he has two seats together. Seeing the problem, the usher says to the man. "Let them go first. You wouldn't want to separate a woman from her mother, would you?" The man says, "No, sir. I did that once, and I've been sorry ever since."

hUMOR For June 30th
Vacuum Salesman
An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks, a real mean and tough looking lady opens the door, and before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow patties all over the carpet. He says, "Lady, if this vacuum cleaner don't do wonders cleaning this up, I'll eat every chunk of it." She turns to him with a smirk and says, "You want ketchup on that?" The salesman says, "Why do you ask?" She says, "We just moved in and we haven't got the electricity turned on yet."

A doctor and a lawyer met at a party. Their conversation was interrupted repeatedly by guests asking the doctor for medical advice. Finally, the exasperated doctor turned to the lawyer and said, "Tell me, what do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?" "When they ask, I give them advice", replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill in the morning." The doctor decided to take the lawyer's advice and for the rest of the evening wrote down the names and addresses of everyone who approached him for advice. The next morning he took out the list, just as his secretary walked into his office and handed him a bill from the lawyer.

The mathematician cogitates for a while, then announces: "I don't know what the answer is, but I can tell you, an answer exists!". Philosopher smiles: "But what do you mean by 2 * 2 ?" Logician replies: "Please define 2 * 2 more precisely." The sociologist: "I don't know, but is was nice talking about it". Behavioral Ecologist: "A polygamous mating system". Medical Student : "4" All others looking astonished : "How did you know?" Medical Student : "I memorized it."

New to town, I was eager to meet people and make friends.
So one day I struck up a conversation with the only other
woman in the gym. Pointing to two men playing racquetball

Then I added, "The thin one--not the fat one."
After a slightly uncomfortable silence she replied, "And
that's my husband - the fat one."

The tourist in London climbed into a cab and noticed by the

Trying to make conversation, he said, "I see your name is

The driver simply said, "Yep. That's my moniker."
The passenger, not willing to give up yet on some banter
said, "That's a pretty famous name."
The driver responded with: "As well it should be too. I've
been driving a cab here for over forty years."

New to town, I was eager to meet people and make friends.
So one day I struck up a conversation with the only other

Then I added, "The thin one--not the fat one."
After a slightly uncomfortable silence she replied, "And
that's my husband - the fat one."

The passenger, not willing to give up yet on some banter
said, "That's a pretty famous name."
The driver responded with: "As well it should be too. I've

"Sleeping Leg"
A lady had been exposed to strep and needed to visit the doctor's office just to have her throat swabbed for a culture. She sat in the waiting room for quite a while with her legs crossed, reading a magazine while other patients came and went. Suddenly her turn was called, but when she stood up to go in, she discovered her leg was "asleep". Not wanting to keep the nurse waiting, she limped and staggered toward the inner office door. She noticed one elderly lady nudging another who sat beside her, as the two of them sympathetically watched her painful progress .
Two minutes later, her procedure completed and her leg back to normal, she walked easily back into the waiting room. As she strode past the two elderly ladies, she overheard one whisper triumphantly to the other, "See, Myrtle, I TOLD you he was a wonderful doctor!"

Which Service Is "The Best"A Soldier, a Sailor, an Airman and a Marine got into an argument about which branch of the service was "The Best." The arguing became so heated the four servicemen failed to see an oncoming truck. They were run over and killed instantly.
Soon, the four servicemen found themselves at the Pearly gates of Heaven. There, they met Saint Peter and decided that only he could be the ultimate source of truth and honesty. So, the four servicemen asked him, "Saint Peter, which branch of the United States Armed Forces is the best?" Saint Peter replied, "I can't answer that. However, I will ask God what He thinks the next time I see Him. Meanwhile, thank you for your service on earth and welcome to Heaven."
Some time later the four servicemen see Saint Peter and remind him of the question they had asked when first entering Heaven. The four servicemen asked Saint Peter if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove lands on Saint Peter's shoulder. In the dove's beak is a note glistening with gold dust. Saint Peter opens the note... trumpets blare, gold dust drifts into the air, harps play crescendos and Saint Peter begins to read the note aloud to the four servicemen:
MEMORANDUM FROM THE DESK OF THE ALMIGHTY :

SUBJECT: Which Military Service Is the Best
1. All branches of the United States Armed Forces are honorable and noble.
2. Each serves America well and with distinction.

4. Always be proud of that.

They thank him and go on their way. 15 minutes later, one fisherman says to the other "fill the bucket up with water and see if the water is salty."
He dips the bucket in the stream and drinks some. "Nope. Still salty." 30 minutes later, he asks him to check again.
"Nope, still salty." One our later they check again. "Nope. Still salty."

Judi tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of

One day, she told her problem to a friend she worked with at

make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal."
"That doesn't matter," replied Judi, "if only I can sell the
car."
"Okay," said Judi's friend. "Here is the address of a friend
of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and
he will turn the counter in your car back to 50,000 miles.
Then it should not be a problem to sell your car anymore."
The following weekend, Judi made the trip to the mechanic.
Two weeks later the friend asked Judi, "Did you sell your
car?"
"No," replied Judi, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles
on it!"

Wait - do you know where I can find my wife?HDA: Is she carrying an extension cord?Me: Yes.HDA: Next aisle sir.I went to the next aisle and there she was.

Car Sale
Judi tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of
problems selling it, because the car had 250,000 miles.
One day, she told her problem to a friend she worked with at
a salon. Her friend told her, "There is a possibility to
make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal."
"That doesn't matter," replied Judi, "if only I can sell the
car."
"Okay," said Judi's friend. "Here is the address of a friend
of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and
he will turn the counter in your car back to 50,000 miles.
Then it should not be a problem to sell your car anymore."
The following weekend, Judi made the trip to the mechanic.
Two weeks later the friend asked Judi, "Did you sell your
car?"
"No," replied Judi, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles
on it!"

College Writing
A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus. "It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said. "Actually," said his guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation." The visitor was astonished. "Was Joshua Hemingway a writer, also?" "Yes, indeed," said his guide. "He wrote a check."

Clocks
A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move." "Oh", said the man. "Whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's," replied St. Peter. "The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." "Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life." "Where's my congressman's clock?" asked the man. "It's in my office. I'm using it as a ceiling fan!"

Smart Blonde
A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains" I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500," figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match. This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer: "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air phone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer!?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep!

"Gate Boarding"
At the airport for a business trip, I settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at Gate 35. Then I heard the voice on the public address system saying, "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Delta Flight 570 will board from Gate 41."
So my family picked up our luggage and carried it over to Gate 41. Not ten minutes later the public address voice told us that Flight 570 would in fact be boarding from Gate 35.
So, again, we gathered our carry-on luggage and returned to the original gate. Just as we were settling down, the public address voice spoke again: "Thank you for participating in Delta's physical fitness program.

"Remuss Starr"
An amateur genealogical researcher discovered that his great-great uncle, Remus Starr, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription:
"Remus Starr; horse thief; sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887; robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives. Convicted and hanged 1889."
In a Family History subsequently written by the researcher, Remus’s picture is cropped so that all that's seen is a head shot. The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:
"Remus Starr was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up, and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics.

Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay near by. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and the tied the other to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle.He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.AND THE WINNER IS...Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfe ldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief.

It seems to be just one of those freak accidents

Dr. Seuss on Unnecessary RISCWhat if Dr. Seuss did technical writing?If your floppy’s getting sloppy, it’s time to RAM your ROM!
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,And your data is corrupted ‘cause the index doesn’t hash,Then your situation’s hopeless, and your system’s gonna crash!If the label on the cable on the table at your house,Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gaussSo your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,‘Cause as sure as I’m a poet, the ‘puter’s gonna hang!When the copy of your floppy’s getting sloppy on the disk,And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,Then you have to flash your memory and you’ll want to RAM your ROM…Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

CriscoWhat affectionate nickname do you have for your spouse?
A little old lady is walking around in a supermarket calling out, “Crisco, Crisssssssco!”Soon an assistant manager approaches and says, “Ma'am, the Crisco is in aisle 3.”The old lady replies, “Oh, I'm not looking for the cooking stuff. I'm calling my husband. He's in here somewhere.”The clerk is astonished. “Your husband's name is Crisco?”The old lady answers, “Oh, no. I only call him that when we're out in public.”“I see,” said the clerk. “What do you call him at home?”“Lard butt.”

"Lost Phone"
My girlfriend called me as she was driving to an appointment. She arrived, and I could tell from her voice that she was getting frustrated. Finally she said, "I know I had my cell phone with me. And now I can't find it!"
I replied, "Aren't you talking on it!?"
There was a solid period of stunned silence as the reality of the situation sank in - followed by, "You are NOT going to tell anybody about this!"

A fisherman from the city was out fishing on a lake in a small boat. He noticed another man in a small boat open his tackle box and take out a mirror. Being curious the man rowed over and asked, "What is the mirror for?"
"That's my secret way to catch fish," said the other man. "Shine the mirror on the top of the water. The fish notice the spot of sun on the water above and they swim to the surface. Then I just reach down and net them and pull them into the boat."
"Wow! Does that really work?"
"You bet it does."
"Would you be interested in selling that mirror? I'll give you $30 for it."
"Well, okay."
After the money was transferred, the city fisherman asked, "By the way, how many fish have you caught this week?"
"You're the sixth," he said.

25th Wedding Anniversary
At the banquet of Tom and Susan's 25th wedding anniversary,
Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the

"Tell us, Tom, just what is it you have learned from all
those wonderful years with your wife?"
Tom responded, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best
teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance,
meekness, self-restraint, forgiveness -- and a great many
other qualities you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed
single."

Visiting a barber
A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks. "I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place this between your cheek and gum." The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced. After a few strokes the client asks in garbled speech. "And what if I swallow it?" "No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does."

A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. Afterward he asked her how she liked the game. "I liked it, but I couldn't understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents," she said. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Well, everyone kept yelling, 'Get the quarter back!'"

"OK, your inside-outers, your arbitrary bilinear mappers, and here, heh, here are the best ones," he said, pulling out a large clear bottle of orange pills. "What are those, then?" I asked. "Givens transformers. They'll rotate you about more planes than you even knew existed." "Sounds gross. What about those bilinear mappers?" "There's a whole variety of them.

Berra is to vocal communication what Don Cherry is to the fashion industry. Yogi doesn't so much command the English language as he corkscrews it. It is part of what makes the baseball Hall of Famer one of America's endearing figures…“Thank you all for being here tonight. I know this is a busy time of year, and if you weren't here, you could probably be somewhere else. I especially want to thank the administration at St. Louis University for making this day necessary. It is an honor to receive this honorary degree.It is wonderful to be here in St. Louis and to visit the old neighborhood. I haven't been back since the last time I was here. Everything looks the same, only different. Of course, things in the past are never as they used to be.Before I speak, I have something I'd like to say. As you may know, I never went to college, or high school for that matter. To be honest, I'm not much of a public speaker, so I will try to keep this short as long as I can. As I look out upon all of the young people here tonight, there are a number of words of wisdom I might depart. But I think the most irrelevant piece of advice I can pass along is this: “The most important things in life are the things that are least important.”I could have gone a number of directions in my life. Growing up on the Hill, I could have opened a restaurant or a bakery. But the more time I spent in places like that, the less time I wanted to spend there.

Treat others before you treat yourself. As Franklin Eleanor Roosevelt once said, 'The only thing you have to fear is beer itself.'Hold on to your integrity, ladies and gentlemen. It's the one thing you really need to have; if you don't have it, that's why you need it. Work hard to reach your goals, and if you can't reach them, use a ladder.

hUMOR For June 23rd
LIFE 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 the1500s:
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 c ould
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 co uld 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 poo r. 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 entranceway. 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 overnight 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..
Sometim es they could obtain pork, which made them
feel quite specia l. 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

Bread was divided acc ording to status. Workers got
the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. 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 cou ple 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, lea d 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..
And that's the truth. Now, whoever said History was
boring ! ! !

In a hat shop a saleslady gushed: "That's the hat for you. It makes you look

"Then I don't want it," retorted the customer. "I certainly can't afford to
put on ten years every time I take off my hat!"

On the first day of Spring Training, a baseball scout brings a race horse
with him to add to the starting lineup. The coach asks, "What the heck did
you bring that horse here for?"
The scout replies, "Wait until you see him bat."
All the players are laughing, until the horse comes to bat. At this point,
the horse grabs the bat and everyone quiets down. They stare at the horse.
The pitcher, just shrugs his shoulders, and throws the ball toward home
plate, when astonishingly, the horse hits the ball deep into the outfield.
The horse just stands there and does not move. The manager then yells at the
baseball scout to tell the horse to run to first base.
The scout looks back at the manager and yells back, "If he could run, he'd
be at Belmont!"

Finding perfect men
At a local coffee bar, a young woman was expounding on her idea of the perfect mate to some of her friends. "The man I marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must be musical. Tell jokes. Sing. And stay home at night!" An old granny overheard and spoke up, "Honey, if that's all you want, get a TV!"
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 the1500s:
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 c ould
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 co uld 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 poo r. 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 entranceway. 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 overnight 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..
Sometim es they could obtain pork, which made them
feel quite specia l. 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

In the News
Brookpark, Ohio: Burglars recently broke in to an unoccupied
house that was being renovated for sale. Among the items
they stole were roofing shingles, a lawn mower, weed
whackers, and lumber.
They broke into a storage area under the deck and also a
shed in the back. Before leaving, though, they mowed the
lawn of the residence.
Neighbors report seeing strange men walking around the home,
but they never called the police because they figured the
men were hired to do the lawn.
The owners are quoted as saying they will leave a pressure
washer and painting equipment for the thieves next week as
they did a better job than the lawn care company they had
hired, and they were cheaper also.

"Fishing Advice"
Two buddies are fishing, but they haven't caught anything all day. Then, another fisherman walks by with a huge load of fish. They ask him "excuse me, but where did you get all those fish?"
The other fisherman replies," If you just go down the stream until the water isn't salty, there are a ton of hungry fish."
They thank him and go on their way. 15 minutes later, one fisherman says to the other "fill the bucket up with water and see if the water is salty."
He dips the bucket in the stream and drinks some. "Nope. Still salty." 30 minutes later, he asks him to check again.
"Nope, still salty." One our later they check again. "Nope. Still salty."
"This isn't good," the fisherman finally says. "We have been walking for almost two hours and the water is still salty!"
"I know," says the other. "And the bucket is almost empty!"

CleanPun - "Tea"
George loved tea. He'd always come over for several cups. He had an insatiable thirst. He became such a nuisance that we decided to fix him.
To cure him of all desire for tea, we decided to drown him with the stuff. One day we forced him to drink ten pots of tea.
As he staggered off, we laughed at how clever we had been in putting ten pots in a tea pest.

Speeding RegistrationOn a long drive from Virginia, I thought I was traveling at a reasonable speed, but the flashing blue lights in my rear- view mirror made me realize that I'd been over the limit. I handed the officer my license and made small talk while my wife dug through the glove compartment for the registration."I'm usually very careful about my speed," I told him as my wife handed me the paperwork.The officer studied it and then gave it back. "Sir," he said gruffly, "this is not your registration."It was a warning ticket I had received for speeding in Florida.

An 85-year-old widow went on a blind date with a 90-year-old
man. When she returned to her daughter's house later that
night, she seemed upset.
"What happened, Mother?" the daughter asked.
"I had to slap his face three times!"
"You mean he got fresh?"
"No," she answered, "I thought he was dead."
