An elephant and a crocodile were swimming in the Amazon, when the elephant spots a turtle sunning himself on a rock.  The elephant walks over to the turtle, picks him up in his trunk and hurls him far into the jungle. "What did you do that for?" asks the crocodile.  The elephant answers, "That turtle was the one that bit me almost fifty years ago." The crocodile says, "And you remembered him after all these years? Boy, you sure do have a good memory."

"Yep," says the elephant. "Turtle recall."

My boss was complaining in a staff meeting the other day  that he wasn't getting any respect. Later that morning he  went out and got a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss".   He then taped it to his office door.
 
Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that  someone had taped a note to the sign that said. "Your wife called, she wants her sign back!"

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone.

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Three Englishmen were in a bar and spotted an Irishman.  They decided to have fun with the man.  One of the Englishmen walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, I hear your St. Patrick was a girly-man."

"Oh really, hmm, didn't know that," said the Irishman.

Puzzled, the Englishman walked back to his buddies.  "I told him St. Patrick was a girly-man, and he didn't care."  The second Englishman remarked, "You just don't know how to set him off ...  watch and learn."  So, the second Englishman walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I hear your St. Patrick was a transvestite!"

"Oh really, hmm, didn't know that."

Shocked beyond belief, the Englishman went back to his buddies. "You're right.  He's unshakable!"

The third Englishman remarked, "Boys, I'll really tick him off ... just watch."  So the third Englishman walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "I hear St. Patrick was an  Englishman!"

"Yeah, that's what your buddies were trying to tell me."

Twelve monks were about to be ordained.
The final test was for them to line up, nude, in a garden while a nude model danced before them.
Each monk had a small bell attached to his privates, and they were told that anyone whose bell rang would not be ordained because he had not reached a state of spiritual purity.
The model danced before the first monk candidate, with no reaction.  She proceeded down the line with the same response until she got to the final monk.
As she danced, his bell rang so loudly it fell off and clattered to the ground.
Embarrassed, he bent down to pick up the bell, .......and then all the other bells began to ring....

You know that all potatoes have eyes. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Potato had eyes for each other and they finally got married and had a little one---a real SWEET POTATO whom they called "YAM"
They wanted the best for little Yam, telling her all about the facts of life.
They warned   she could get Mashed, get a bad name like Hot Potato, and then end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.
She said not to worry----- no Mr. McSpud would get her in the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her! But she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. She would get plenty of food and exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.
Mr. and Mrs. Potato even told her about going off to Europe and to watch out for the Hard Boiled guys from Ireland and even the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. They also said she should watch out for the Indians when going out west because she could get Scalloped.
She told them she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Blue Belles or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise Frito-Lay on the side of their trucks.
Mr. & Mrs. Potato wanted the best for Yam, so they sent her to "Idaho P.U."-that's Potato University-where the potatoes come from and when she graduated, she'd really be in the Chips.
But one day she came home and said she was going to marry Walter Cronkite.
Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset and said she couldn't marry him because  he's just a    (Now wait on the punch line) COMMON TATER!!!!!!!!!

My uncle once spent days looking for his new hat.  Finally, he  decided that he'd go to church on Sunday and sit at the back.   During the service he would sneak out and grab a hat from the
rack at the front door.

On Sunday, he went to church and sat at the back.  The sermon  was about the 10 commandments.  He sat through the whole sermon and instead of sneaking out he waited until the sermon was over
and went to talk to the minister.
"Father, I came here today to steal a hat to replace the one I lost.  But after hearing your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I changed my mind."   The minister said, "Bless you my son.  Was it when I started to preach thou shall not steal, that changed your heart?"
My uncle responded, "No, it was the one on adultery.  When you started to preach on that, I remembered where I left my hat."

A man meets a gorgeous woman in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together. They get back to her place and, as she shows him around her apartment, he notices that her bedroom is completely packed with teddy bears.

Hundreds of small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, medium sized ones on a shelf a little higher and huge bears on the top shelf along the wall.

The man is kind of surprised that this woman would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but he decides not to mention this to her.

After a night of passion, as they are lying together in the afterglow, the man rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it?"

An anonymous girl, let's call her Jen, is a junior in college attending school in Colorado. Like all college students, she was wrapped up in the partying and the wildness of being away at school.  Jen is a computer science major and always has a lot of work to do on the computer. So when she's not out partying, she'll be found on the dorm room floor, working her butt off designing computer programs and installing software.

Having recently broken up with her boyfriend, she was home alone on a Friday night for the first time in the three years that they had been together. Feeling sad, alone, and depressed, she decided to make a new homepage. While she was playing on the net, she decided to get on a chat-line. Being the wild psycho that she is, she logged onto a sex line.  Over the line she met a guy named "Jeremy". She started to play with him, gave him a false name of "Katie", and started getting into details about what she would like to do to him with her tongue.  He responded by telling her to picture herself naked while his hands roamed over every inch of her naked body.  Soon they were having cyber sex. This went on for a while, and then she got off line agreeing to meet him on the net the next night.

Saturday night rolls around and Jen, as "Katie" is online with Jeremy again.  They became even closer this night, and continued like this for a week. At the end of the week, they started talking about their hopes, feelings, and what they expected out of the future. But Jen didn't tell Jeremy that she was in College because she didn't want him to think that she was immature.

She felt guilty but after a few weeks she found she really liked this guy.
Their virtual relationship carried on like this for months, and the months eventually turned into a year, they had exchanged their most intimate thoughts, but had yet to have even one telephone conversation. They were afraid it would ruin the mystery. "Katie" and Jeremy had done everything sexually possible over the net. They were affectionate as well, waiting for the day that they could someday be together.

Finally, the time had come: they had to meet each other. They were in love.
They didn't care about age, or looks, but only for each other. Jeremy told "Katie" he thought she could be his NEXT WIFE. Jen was wary at this, but decided she didn't care how old or ugly he might be. She loved him and he was the only one she wanted to be with for the rest of her life. They planned a trip to meet in Vail, Colorado. They were going to meet at a pretty swank hotel, in that town, because it was a halfway point that both could drive to. And they wouldn't need to worry what they had to do to recognize each other.

Jen showed up at the resort first, checked into the suite, telling the lady at the counter to keep the extra key for the additional party meeting her. She then went up to the room, wanting things to be special she lit some candles and put on some music. She stripped naked and climbed into bed under the covers, deciding to surprise Jeremy when he finally got there. The lights were out and the mood was right; then she heard a key in the door. She heard someone walk in and around the corner.

She whispered, "Jeremy?"  A voice replied "Katie?"  "Yes" she said.
He fumbled for the light, and then turned it on to see Jen on the bed naked before his eyes. The very next thing heard around the world was the two most blood curdling screams. Jen covered herself up, and in her most humiliated voice said

   A man goes to the doctor with a long history of migraine headaches. When the doctor does his history and physical, he discovers that his poor patient has had practically every therapy known to man for his migraines and STILL no improvement.
   "Listen," says the Doc, "I have migraines, too and the advice I'm going to give you isn't really anything I learned in medical school, but it's advice that I've gotten from my own experience. When I have a migraine, I go home, get in a nice hot bathtub, and soak for a while. Then I have my wife sponge me off with the hottest water I can stand, especially around the forehead. This helps a little.
   Then I get out of the tub, take her into the bedroom, and even if my head is killing me, I force myself to have sex with her. Almost always, the headache is immediately gone. Now, give it a try, and come back and see me in six weeks."
   Six weeks later, the patient returns with a big grin. "Doc! I took your advice and it works! It REALLY WORKS! I've had migraines for 17 years and this is the FIRST time anyone has ever helped me!"
   "Well," says the physician, "I'm glad I could help."
   "By the way, Doc," the patient adds, "You have a REALLY nice house."

People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

Al Davis had finally put together the perfect Oakland Raiders team for '98. The only thing he was missing was a good quarterback.  He had scouted all the colleges, and even the high schools, and he couldn't find a quarterback that would ensure a Superbowl win.

Then one night, watching CNN, he saw a war zone in Bosnia. In the background, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a young Bosnian soldier with a truly incredible arm.  He threw a hand grenade straight into a 15th story window 200 yards away!  He threw another grenade into a group of about 10 soldiers a good 110 yards away!   A car passes going 80 miles (120 km) an hour, and he send another grenade right into the barely open window.

"I've got to get this guy," Al says to himself, "He has the perfect arm!" So he brings him to the States and teaches him the game of football. Predictably, the young man breaks all the NFL records for completed passes, and the Raiders go on to win the Superbowl.

The young Bosnian is lionized as the Great Hero of Superbowl XXXIII, and when Al asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is to call his mother.

"Mom." the young man says into the receiver "I just won the Superbowl."
"I don't want to talk to you, " the old woman says, "You deserted us. You're not my son."
"I don't think you understand, mother," the young man pleads, "I just won the greatest sporting event in the world.  I'm in the middle of thousands of adoring fans."
"No, let me tell you," the mother implores. "At this very moment, there are gun shots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble.  Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and this week your sister was attacked in broad daylight..."

The old lady pauses, then says through her tears, "I'll never forgive you for moving us to Oakland!"

Boy yells back "Roll of chicken wire."
Old man says "What you gonna do with that?"
Boy says "Gonna catch some chickens."
Old man yells "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!"
Boy just laughs and keeps walking.

That evening at sunset the boy comes walking by and to the old man's surprise he is dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in it.

Same time next morning the old man is out watching the sun rise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something kind of round in his hand.

Old man yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
Boy yells back "Roll of duck tape."
Old man says "What you gonna do with that?"
Boy says back "Gonna catch me some ducks."

That night around sunset the boy walks by coming home and to the old man's amazement he is trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duck tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.

Same time next morning the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end.
Old man says "Hey boy, whatcha got there?"
Boy says "It's a pussy willow."

It's Saturday morning. Bob's just about to set off on a round of golf when he realizes that he forgot to tell his wife that the guy who fixes the washing machine is coming around at noon.  So Bob heads back to the clubhouse and phones home.

"Hello" Says a little girl's voice.
"Hi, honey, it's Daddy," says Bob.
"Is Mommy near the phone?"
"No, Daddy.  She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank."
After a brief pause, Bob says, "But you haven't got an Uncle Frank, Honey!"

"Yes, I do, and he's upstairs in the bedroom with Mommy!"
"Okay, then. Here's what I want you to do. Put down the phone, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy and Uncle Frank that my car's just pulled up outside the house."

"Okay, Daddy!"

A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.
"Well, I did what you said, Daddy."
"And what happened?"
"Well, Mommy jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming; then she tripped over the rug and fell down the front steps and she's just lying there." Oh my God! And what about Uncle Frank?"

"He jumped out of bed with no clothes on, and he was all scared and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool. But he must have forgot that last week you took out all the water to clean it, so he hit the bottom of the swimming pool and is just lying there

The reuse of some object-oriented code has caused tactical headaches for Australia's armed forces. As virtual reality simulators assume larger roles in helicopter combat training, programmers have gone to great lengths to increase the realism of their scenarios, including detailed landscapes and, in the case of the Northern Territory's Operation Phoenix, herds of kangaroos (since disturbed animals might well give away a helicopter's position).

The head of the Defense Science & Technology Organization's Land Operations/Simulation division reportedly instructed developers to model the local marsupials' movements and reactions to helicopters.

Being efficient programmers, they just re-appropriated some code originally used to model infantry detachment reactions under the same stimuli, changed the mapped icon from a soldier to a kangaroo, and increased the figures' speed of movement.

Eager to demonstrate their flying skills for some visiting American pilots, the hotshot Aussies "buzzed" the virtual kangaroos in low flight during a simulation. The kangaroos scattered, as predicted, and the visiting Americans nodded appreciatively . . . then did a double-take as the kangaroos reappeared from behind a hill and launched a barrage of Stinger missiles at the hapless helicopter. (Apparently the programmers had forgotten to remove that part of the infantry coding.)

The lesson? Objects are defined with certain attributes, and any new object defined in terms of an old one inherits all the attributes. The embarrassed programmers had  learned to be careful when reusing object-oriented code, and the Yanks left with a newfound respect for Australian wildlife.

Simulator supervisors report that pilots from that point onward have strictly avoided kangaroos, just as they were meant to.

A sailor was caught AWOL as he tried to sneak on board his ship at about 3 am.
The chief petty officer spied him and ordered the sailor to stop. Upon hearing the sailor's lame explanation for his tardiness, the officer ordered the sailor, "Take this broom and sweep every link on this anchor chain by morning or it's the brig for you!"

The sailor began to pick up the broom and commence performing his charge. As he began to sweep, a tern landed on the broom handle. The sailor yelled at the bird to leave, but it didn't. The lad picked the tern off the broom handle, giving the bird a toss. The bird left, only to return and light once again on the broom handle. The sailor went through the same routine all over again, with the same result. He couldn't get any cleaning done because he can only sweep at the chain once or twice before the blasted bird returns.

When morning came, so did the chief petty officer, to check up on his wayward sailor.

"What in the heck have you been doing all night? This chain is no cleaner than when you started! What have you to say for yourself, sailor?" barked the chief.

"Honest, chief," came the reply, "I tossed a tern all night and couldn't sweep a link!"

An old couple, both in their 80's, were on a sentimental holiday back to the pub where they first met. They're sitting having a pint and he says to her, "Do you remember the first time we had sex here over fifty years ago? We went behind the pub, you leaned against the fence and I made love to you from behind."
"Oh, Yes!", she says, "I remember it well."
"How about taking a stroll round there again and seeing if we can do it for old times sake?"  "Ooh Henry, you devil, what a good idea".
A man sitting at the next table listening to all this chuckles to himself.  'I've got to see these two old timers trying to have sex against a fence.' So he follows them.
The old couple walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her knickers down and the old man drops his trousers.
She turns around, the old man moves in, and as she hangs on to the fence they erupt into the most furious sex the watching man has ever seen. They buck and jump like eighteen-year-olds for about forty minutes.  She's yelling "Ohhh God!" and he's hanging on to her hips for dear life.  Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground.  After a few minutes of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on.  While they recover, the observing man - who is quite amazed - starts thinking. Has learned something about life that he didn't know? Do his own aged parents still have sex like this? Is there something I can learn from this old man that will help me when I get to be his age?

As the couple pass by, he says to them, "Excuse me. I came out of the pub to take a leak and I happened to see you making love. You must have been at it for about forty minutes! How do you manage it? Is there some sort of secret?"  "No secret, son", the old man pants, "fifty years ago that bloody fence wasn't electric."

A man walked into a quiet bar.  He carried three ducks, one in each hand
and one under his left arm.  He placed them one beside the other upon the
bar.  He had a few drinks and chatted with the bartender. The bartender was
experienced and had learned not to ask people about the animals that they
bring into the bar, so he didn't mention the ducks.

They chatted for about another 30 minutes before the man with the ducks had
to go to the restroom.  He left the ducks there on the bar. The bartender
was alone with the ducks.  There was an awkward silence as they all looked
at one another.

The bartender decided to break the ice and try to make a little
conversation. "Say, what's your name?" he asked the first duck.

"Huey," replied the first duck.

"How's your day been, Huey?"

"Great. Lovely day.  Had a ball.  Been in and out of puddles all day! What
else could a duck want?" commented the duck.

"Oh. That's nice," said the bartender. Then he said to the second duck,
"Hi. And what's your name?"

"Dewey," came the answer from duck number two.

"So how's your day been, Dewey?" he asked.

"Great. Lovely day.  I had a ball too!  Been in and out of puddles all day
myself.  If I had the chance another day I would do the same again!" said
the duck in reply.

So the bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So, you must be Louie!?"

"No," growls the third duck, "my name is Puddles.  And don't even ask what
kind of day I've had!"

A ventriloquist was out for a drive one day, when his car began hopping and
wheezing.  It finally came to a stop by a long drive and he decided to walk
toward what appeared to be a farmhouse in the distance up the drive.
"Maybe I can entertain whoever I might find at the house, and thereby win
their assistance to help me with my car," he thought.

As he turned the last of the slight curves in the drive, he could see a man
enjoying the warm evening on the porch, just reading a book. "Hello," the
ventriloquist called out.  "Say, I heard your farm animals calling me over,
so I thought I'd come see what they
wanted," the man told the farmer.

"What you talking about, mister," the farmer replied, "everyone knows
animals can't talk."

"Oh, sure they can," he said, pointing toward a horse corralled nearby. "My
friend the farmer treats me very well.  Oats in the morning, and hay all
day!" came the voice from the corral, thrown from the ventriloquist.

"Wow!" said the farmer.  That is incredible.  Just then, a chicken strutted
by, and from the chicken's direction came the voice, "Cock-a-doodle-doo.  I
love to live here.  Always nice shade to scratch under and plenty to eat.
Thank you, my farmer friend."

"Just incredible," said the farmer.  "Just incredible!"  Then with a
worried tone, the farmer said, "But I can tell you one thing... Whatever

When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if the copy is right. If however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy. If you write religious services you write rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write.

Conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would write right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the right to write. His editor has the job of making the right rite copy right before the copyright can be right.

Should Tom Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright. Duplicating that rite would copy Wright right rite, and violate copyright, which Wright would have the right to right.

But we all know the right wing isn't, is it?

It is well documented that for every mile that you jog, you add one minute to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.  My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60.  She's 97 now and we don't know where the hell she is.  The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.  I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't  lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there. I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.  I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
