The devil had just captured 3 guys. He said he would take their souls unless he was asked something he could not do. So here's the responses of teh guys. 1: Go to the nearest star and back in one second. The devil does so, bringing back a rock from the star just to prove he'd been there. 2: Lift up mount Everest with your nose. The devil does so. Number 2 also loses his soul. 3: You say you can do anything? Anything. 3: OK, get lost.

I heard this one from my brother, who's a wafer fab engineer. It takes 3 persons to start a business in the computer industry: businessman, lawyer, and engineer. And when the company breaks up: the businessman gets all the money, the lawyer gets all the patents, and the engineer gets to find another job.

A recent survey into the readership of newspapers came up with the following results. THE TIMES is read by people who run the country. THE MIRROR is read by the people who think they run the country. THE GUARDIAN is read by the people who think they ought to run the country. THE DAILY MAIL is read by the wives of the people who run the country. THE FINANCIAL TIMES is read by the people who own the country. THE DAILY EXPRESS is read by the people who think that the country should be run as it used to be. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH is read by the people who believe it still is. THE SUN is read by the people who don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did you hear about the Irish doctor who thought that ping pong balls were a Chinese venereal disease. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three men were boasting about the size of their members, and decided to see whose was the biggest by dangling them from the window of their flat. The first proudly annouced that his hung down as far as the floor below. The second claimed that his went even further. But the third couldn't keep still. As he dangled his penis, he kept jumping from side to side. "What are you doing?" asked one of the others. "Avoiding the traffic," he replied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Methodist minister and a Rabbi met one day, and each invited the other to his place of worship. After the visits had taken place, the Rabbi commented on the enthusiasm of the minister, and asked what he thought of the Jewish service. "It was very interesting," replied the minister. "But there was one thing I didn't understand. Why did the congregation boo and hiss every time Moses was mentioned?". "Isn't it obvious?" said the Rabbi. "as you know from the Bible, after walking in the wilderness, Moses decided to turn left, and where he stopped became the state of Israel." "So?" "If he'd turned right," continued the Rabbi vehmently, "we would have had the oil and the Arabs would have had the oranges." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ayoung man and his girlfriend had gone out for a ride in the car, and stopped by a remote field. They got out, and sat down, then started cuddling. Suddenly the young man broke off from a deep passionate kiss. "Jane?" he said, "do you believe in the here after?" "I've never really given it much thought, Why?" replied Jane. "'Cos if your're not here after what I'm here after, You'll be here after I've gone". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A rather overweight young man was passing a shop window when he spotted an advertisement. 'Lose weight easily and pleasently,' it said, 'First Lesson $25, second lesson $35 and third lesson $45.' Deciding that it was time that he slimmed down a bit, he rang up and enrolled for the first lesson. When he arrived for the course, he paid the $25, and was led into a large room, empty except for a beautiful naked brunette. Around her neck she wore a notice which said simply, 'If you can catch me, you can have me.' The young man approached her, and she started running. He ran after her. The cahse went on for five minutes until he finally caught up, pulled her onto the floor and they made love vigorously and passionately. When the young man got home, he found that to his pleasure that all the exercise had made him lose 5lbs. And he'd enjoyed himself, so he booked in for the second $35 lesson the next night. He arrived, and again was led into a room, this time larger. And there i the corner was a beautiful seductive blonde, naked except for a sign saying 'If you catch me, you can have me.' He approached her, but she ran off with some speed. She was clearly quite an athelete. The over- weight young man chased her, and after nearly half an hour caught her and pulled her onto the floor. She was nearly as energetic in her lovemaking, and the young man went home satisfied with $35 well spent and 12lbs lighter. He could hardly wait for the $45 lesson. And he was trembling with anticipation as he handed over the money. He was led into another room. It was empty save for one naked man. He was 6 foot tall and muscular and around his neck was a sign that read 'If I catch you, I have you.'

Salesmen from all over the country got together for their annual conference at the Imperial Hotel. At the company's party to celebrate a record year of sales, one particularly cocky salesman was approached by a stern looking man. "Excuse me," he said. "But aren't you Barry Briggs?" "That's me squire," replied the over confident young man. "Barry Briggs is the name, selling's the game." "I don't doubt it," continued the stranger. "Tell me, were you in Birmingham two months ago?" Briggs got out a little red diary, and started laefing through the pages. "Two months ago? Yes me old china, as a matter of fact I was." "And did you stay at the Midland Hotel?" demanded the mysterious stranger. "Now let me see," said the ebullint salesman, flicking through the pages. "Yes, it's all down here, the Midland Hotel." "And did you have room 2315?" "Hang on," he scanned the pages. "Yes I did." "Next to a Mrs. Jones?" "Mrs Jones?" He turned a page. "Yes, she was in room 2314." "And you slept with her on the saturday night?" "Just a second..." the salesman perused his book once again. "Yes your're right. I did give her a bit of the old in-out." The inquisitor looked even more severe. "Mr. Briggs, I am her husband and I don't like it." The salesman consulted his diary again. "Mrs. Jones, Midland Hotel, room 2314... No neither did I." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Where do you get virgin wool from ?

He had been saving hard all year for the trip, and was driving along thinking of the fun he would have, when he was stopped by a police patrol car. The polic man walked around to his door, and said to George. "I'm sorry to stop you sir, but I thought I'd point out that your off-side brake light is faulty." Georges reaction was dramatic. "Oh God! No, it can't be!" he shreiked, then burst into uncontrollable tears. "It's nothing to worry about,sir," said the policeman. "I was only just mentioning it." But George was on the floor thumping the tarmac. "Sir, it's only a bulb, you can get one at the next garage," continued the policeman. "It's not that," sobbed George. "Where's my caravan?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ An old Jewish tailor was woken at 3am by the phone ringing. He picked it up, and heard an exultant voice on the other end of the line. "Hey, Manny, this is Mr. Johnson here," it said. "I'm just ringing to tell you that I'm currently in bed with your daughter, the one that helps in your shop, and I've just screwed her for half an hour." The little tailor smiled. "So?" he replied. "that is her buisness. She is 28-years-old now, and can look after herslf. So why phone me?" "I just wanted to congratulate you," replied Mr. Johnson. "It's the first time I've had something from your shop that fits."

George came into the office one morning full of the joys of spring, and was amazed when his seceratary immeadiately suggested that he sit down. "Oh you do look ill," she said. "You'd better take the week off.' Surprised but none the less impressed by his secertarys obviously genuine concern, he went home. On the way he met Jim, an old friend. "God, what's up with you?" he asked "I don't know. I feel fine," replied George. "If I was you I'd get straight to the doctor," Jim said looking worried. "But I feel perfectly alright," he protested. Jim's response was along intake of breath. Even George's neighbour commented as he walked past. "You look awful," she said tactlessly, and George eventually bowed under the weight of public opinion, and decided to go to the doctors. "Doctor, look," he said, "I feel fine but everyone says I look terrible. What's up?" "I don't know,' he replied. "You certainly look rough. Now let me see." So saying he reached up, and took a large medical tome from the shelf, then started leafing through the pages. "Looks good, feels good, that's not it. Looks good, feels bad, no. Ah, I've found it. Feels good, looks terrible." "And?" asked George anxiously. "You're a cunt." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After her operation, the famous lady soap opera star was propped up in bed in her private room, as the doctor did his rounds. "Tell me, how are you feeling now?" he asked. "A lot better, thank you," purred the star in reply. "But one thing does bother me. When will I be able to resume a normal sex life?" "Oh, that's rather hard to say," said the doctor. "I've never been asked that after a tonsilectomy before." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Hello my dear,' smiled the vicar of the Yorkshire parish at the little girl.

Little Audrey was staying with her uncle and auntie. One night she crept into their bedroom, and caught a glimpse of her uncles penis. "What's that?" Audrey asked innocently. "Um, it's the aerial of my new radio," replied her uncle quickly. "Oh really, what make is it?" she enquired. The old man thought fast. "It's a Sony, why?"

"Actually, I'd rather have a cold drink," said Jill. "My mouths a bit sore as well." "What on earth's wrong with you?" asked Mary with some concern. "Have you got a virus or something?"

Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed? -- Solomon Short Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. -- Abraham Lincoln No matter what other nations may say about the United States, immigration is still the sincerest form of flattery. Of all forces acting on man, change is the most beneficial and the most cruel Oh, I don't blame Congress. If I had $600 billion at my disposal, I'd be irresponsible, too. -- Lichty & Wagner People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first.

An old woman was sitting in a park in Moscow reading a "Teach Yourself Hebrew" book. A policeman notices her and decides to start to give her a hard time. "What are you reading that for?" he shouts at her. She replies, "I am old, and I will die soon. I want to be prepared; so I am studying the language of heaven." The cop says, "Well, how do know that it's heaven that you are going to?" The old women answers, "Well, honestly I don't, but that's okay. I already speak Russian." ---------------------------------------------------- >From London Times via Car and Driver: Comrade Gorbachev is being driven from his dacha to Moscow and is in a hurry. He is getting irritated with the slowness of his driver. "Can't you go any faster?" he says angrily. "I have to obey the speed limits," says the driver. Finally Gorbachev orders the driver into the back and takes the wheel. Sure enough a patrol car soon pulls them over. The senior officer orders the junior to go write up the ticket. But the junior officer comes back and says he can't give them a ticket, the person in the car is too important. "Well, who is it?", the senior officer asks. "I didn't recognize him," says the junior officer, "but Comrade Gorbachev is his chauffeur." ---------------------------------------------------- Subject: The one which didn't get away (The following appeared recently in the Globe & Mail.) Forget about Dog Bites Man. Relegate Man Bites Dog to the back pages. Today we are dealing with Fish swallows dog, an item which reaches us by way of Moscow. The dog was swimming across the Pechora River to join its master when it vanished, leaving only a ripple. The dog's master, who was fishing at the time, hauled in his net and found it contained a giant pike. He looked closely at its mouth and said to himself (probably) "Thereby hangs a tail." Yes, it was Fido (or the Russian equivalent). The dog struggled out after the fish was cut open, and, according to Radio Moscow, hurled itself at the pike, "barking excitedly." It is often difficult for fishermen to tell stories about the one that got away. In this case, Radio Moscow notwithstanding, will it be any easier to tell about the one that didn't? ---------------------------------------------------- The December 1987 issue of Space World magazine had a letter describing the 38th meeting of the Congress of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) held in Brighton, England the week of October 11, 1987. There were 1,500 attendees and about 600 papers were presented. Here is an excerpt. "At least one Soviet speaker at the IAF was looking far beyond tomorrow. L. M. Shkadov, from the USSR Academy of Sciences, presented a paper in which he proposed to use a solar sail to move the entire Solar System around the galaxy. His calculations showed that the Solar System could be moved a distance of 30 parsecs (about 98 light years) in one revolution of the Galaxy (about 200 million years) using a reflector some 400,000-800,000 miles in diameter positioned so that the Sun's gravitational pull on the reflector would be just balanced by the force of the solar radiation on the reflector. The idea is to eventually move the Earth into the planetary system of a relatively young, solar-type star before our Sun begins the trauma of stellar senescence." ---------------------------------------------------- A man goes to the doctor for a checkup. After the checkup, the doctor tells the man he has bad news. "You only have six months to live." The man sits for a while thinking, and then says, "There's only one thing I can do, I'm going to become a communist." The doctor says, "You've been a patriotic American all your life, why are you going to become a communist now?" The man says, "Better one of them should die than one of us."

OXYGEN ------ Oxygen is a very toxic gas and an extreme fire hazard. It is fatal in concentrations of as little as 0.000001 p.p.m. Humans exposed to these oxygen concentrations die within a few minutes. Symptoms resemble very much those of cyanide poisoning (blue face, etc.) In higher concentration e.g. about 20%, the toxic effect is somewhat delayed and it takes about 2.5 billion inhalations before death takes place. The reason for the delay is the difference in mechanism of the toxic effect of of oxygen in 20% concentration. It apparently contributes to a complex process called aging, of which very little is known, except that it is always fatal. However, the main disadvantage of the 20% oxygen concentration is the fact that it is habit forming. The first inhalation (occurring at birth) is sufficient to make oxygen addiction permanent. After that, any considerable decrease in the daily oxygen doses results in death with symptoms resembling those of cyanide poisoning. Concentrations higher than 20% decrease the above mentioned delay. High oxygen concentration provokes in prematurely born babies placed in incubators a condition known as retrolental fibroplasia resulting in blindness. Lung irritation has been reported on experimental animals exposed for several days to high oxygen concentrations. Oxygen is an extreme fire hazard. All the fires that were reported in the continental U.S. for the period of the past 25 years were found to be due to the presence of this gas in the atmosphere surrounding the buildings in question. Oxygen is especially dangerous because it is odorless, colorless and tasteless, so that its presence cannot be readily detected until it is too late.

Tom had this problem of getting up late in the morning and was always late for work. His boss was mad at him and threatened to fire him if he didn't do something about it. So Tom went to his doctor who gave him a pill and told him to take it before he went to bed. Tom slept well and in fact beat the alarm in the morning.

Now Tater Tot was a real stud(spud?) - he drove a Mercedes, had loads of money, was real good looking - everything French Fry's parents wanted in a son-in-law.

These bees were most peculiar, in that they were powered by gasoline, rather than the allergenic goodies that bees usually eat. As the crowd flew along, periodically a bee or two would start to sputter; it would fly down to a gas station, drink up the gas spilled in fueling a car, and then fly up and rejoin the crowd. One bee began to sputter a little, but flew right by an open gas station. As he passed the second station, he coughing badly, but still he flew on. Finally, as he was on his last fumes, he dove down to a station and gassed up. When he rejoined the crowd, his neighbor challenged him: "Look, you passed right by an open station when you started to get low. You passed another station when you were perilously low. And finally, you ran out of gas just in time to glide into that last station. Are you crazy?" He replied, "Well, it's like this. The first station was a Gulf station. I really don't like Gulf at all. The second station was a Texaco station. That's even worse. But the third station was an Esso station. Let me tell you, Esso is my brand of gasoline. You know what they say don't you.. There's an Esso Bee in every crowd!"

While looking for a Real Job (read: technical writing), I've been paying the bills doing medical transcription work. I came across a book today called "The Empty Laugh Book" by the American Association for Medical Transcription, containing some of the funniest dictated and transcribed quotes from the world of medicine that I've ever encountered.

Maybe a body will come with it. d: This is the phantom of the phone. d: The patient is here with a rash which I sent over to Dr. Blank. d: The patient went to the bathroom shortly after the sigmoidoscopy and produced a prolapse, which she brought back to the office. d: He was discharged to home with the Visiting Nurses following him. d: Despite treatment, the patient improved. d: She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December. d: Smokes two packs per day and consumes one quart of alcohol per day for past 10 years. Admitted with diagnosis of shortness of breath and increasing abdominal girth, etiology unknown. d: Family history: Mother, age 87, is a diabetic. Father lives with an ulcer. d: We do not feel this patient has any significant physical disease at the present time, and for this reason we have advised her to return to you. d: The patient said she was too sick to be in the hospital and would return when she felt better. d: Patient became pregnant with an IUD. d: Because of the age of the patient, speed was increased for fear of the patient going bad on the table. d: Both marital problems are teenagers. d: Patient took 6 Zactrin tablets given him by his dentist with a bizarre suicide note. d: On exam, he has cigarettes in his front pocket. d: He breaks out with cats. d: Patient slipped on the porch when she went out to feed the birds and broke her ankle. The birds were not injured. d: Patient had a spontaneous vaginal hysterectomy. d: The barium enema on the phone was within normal limits. d: Contusion of the leg secondary to nausea and vomiting. d: It is my feeling at this time still that Mr. Blank is still in need of surgical correction in order to provide a more definitive direction and solution to the problem that is at hand. d: The patient, be he dead or alive, needs a doctor's order to be released. d: Here a pain, there a pain, everywhere a pain, pain. d: Past History: Four children and an appendectomy. d: The only complaint of this 74 year old woman is that the wind keeps blowing her off her motorcycle and she suffers aches and pains because of this. d: This child will probably be shorter than he wants to be, but he should have picked different parents. d: I gave the x-rays to the patient to carry with him so he could show and tell. d: Preoperative diagnosis: Had enough kids. Desires tubal ligation. d: The patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch. d: Patient was in an auto accident in 1965 and sustained a whiplash injury for which she received heat and exercise and $3,000 compensation. d: Physical examination revealed a garrulous, obese woman who was short of breath on motion but not on talking. d: Patient is a 28 year old white male who was playing his first league game of the season when he was sliding into home plate. The patient was safe, but his ankle was out. d: He was a very pleasant person to talk with until he discovered that I am a psychiatrist. At that point, he became markedly hostile and belligerent, threatening to do great bodily harm to me if I did not leave the room immediately. The interview, therefore, was terminated very rapidly and a complete mental status is indeed not possible. d: I don't think I have ever run into anything quite like this patient; however, I think with a great deal of courage, keeping our eyes upward, moving onward and upward, maybe we shall push through to the ultimate victory as England did in those dark days of Dunkirk. I now find that she is tired and she is nervous and she is not awake enough and she is not asleep enough. She is not right enough, left enough, up enough, and she is not down enough. I have decided that this whole thing can be cured by that magic pill which I will get from the pharmacy. This little bottle of pills will probably go into her purse along with seven other bottles of pills of which she takes only about one half. She can't handle the ,,,,,, so I told her to take [a vitamin preparation]. This has a little booze in it and may help her. She will return in one month. d: He has never been married except once for three days when he was on an acid trip. d: History and Physical: Mrs. Blank is a 64 year old black widow. d: The patient was evaluated by an orthopedist, but impression of his con- sultation is unknown, as I cannot read his writing. d: She was taken to surgery on the 9th, as per operative report. She made a good postoperative recovery and was seen in the clinic the morning following surgery. Following that, she was lost in confusion, and repeated attempts to locate her through the hospital information center failed to locate the patient until the morning of the 15th when she phoned me stating that she was still in the hospital in room 5309 ... Her unusual length of stay in the hospital was not intentional and it was due to misunderstanding and confusion and inability to locate the patient until Tuesday ... The patient's hospital course was uneventful and she was discharged. d: She states that her husband took downers and she took uppers so the relationship did not work out.

Jethro was the most bashful boy in the neighbourhood, so his mother was astonished when he told her he was going a-courting. He spent an hour getting ready and left with a strange look in his eye, but he was back within half an hour. "Well," his mother ased, "how did it go?" "Fine." said Jethro. "Did you see her?" "I certainly did." he chuckled. "And if I hadn't ducked down behind the hedge, she'd have seen me too."

A doctor, an engineer and a lawyer were arguing about which was the oldest profession. "Eve was created from Adam's rib, and that was a surgical procedure, so medicine is the oldest profession," said the doctor. "But before that God created order from chaos, so engineering came first..." argued the engineer. "Yah, but who do you think created all of the chaos in the first place?" interjected the lawyer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A girl went to the gynecologist. All during the exam the gynecologist was dying to know why the girl had a big "Y" on her chest. Finally he said, "I can't help but wonder why you have this big "Y" on you chest. "Well, my boyfriend goes to Yale and last night we were screwing and he had on his school sweatshirt..." The next day a girl came in for an exam who had a big "H" on her chest. "Why do you have a big "H" on your chest?" the gynecologist asked her. "Well, my boyfriend goes to Harvard and last night we were screwing and he had on his school sweatshirt..." The next day a girl came in for an exam with a big "M" on her chest. "Oh your boyfriend must go to the University of Michigan," remarked the doctor. "No, my girlfriend goes to the University of Wisconsin."

There were these three sons that were to inherit a large tract of land in Nebraska for the purpose of raising cattle. These three sons couldn't decide on what to call this new 'ranch' of theirs. After debating, the brains came up with the name 'Focal Point Ranch'. The others asked 'WHAT? Why the Focal Point Ranch?' 'Because,' said the brainy one, 'that's where the sons raise meat'. exit stage left. -- Absolutely no disclaimers apply. We use CICS at work.

Here is the next tale lifted from a Chicago Trib. story about the International Save the Pun Foundation. You may subscribe to "The Pundit" for $20 the year, from the I.S.t.P.F. at Box 5040, Sta. A, Toronto, Canada M5W 1N4. The tale is heavily rewritten to end-run copyright complaints. Enjoy. "Bum" Bill Flaherty made a pretty good living duplicating Government documents -- the green kind. He owned an average house, which he deliberately allowed to acquire a rather seedy appearance. The lawn was messily maintained; the living room, visible through the picture window, was cheaply furnished with a small black and white TV, a second hand couch and a large rug that looked about fifth-hand. The room needed painting. The rest of the house, with all windows curtained, was tastefully and expensively furnished. About two-thirds of the basement was finished off into guest and family rooms. A door concealed behind a shallow cupboard led to the rest of the basement, which was BumBill's "workshop". The family cars (one middle-aged Chevy and a thorough rattletrap of an old Ford pickup) looked like something the city should condemn, but under the hoods they were superbly maintained. BumBill was accomplished in his field, and well understood the need for a "low profile". His friends assumed that Bill was eccentric (well...he was) and simply concerned with avoiding break-ins. Bill nurtured this tale, but his main concerns were the IRS and the Department of the Treasury. BumBill's wife, Maureen, had sat down and designed a complete "makeover" of the kitchen. Bill looked over her drawings, made a few suggestions (most of which Maureen vetoed) and took the papers to a few contractors he knew to solicit estimates. Bill let the contractors know (Oh, so gracefully!) that he would be willing to pay cash, no receipts and no questions asked, for work well done, and not discussed. Wanting things done as competently as possible, Bill sought the _highest_ bidder. The work took about three weeks, since old, eccentric Bill Flaherty insisted on the materials being brought in at night, and the workers had to park a block or so away, and come to the house one at a time. Still, they were well paid, so a little eccentricity was to be tolerated. The last day of work, it was the contractor himself who walked with Maureen and Bill around the room, pleased with their exclamations of delight and satisfaction. As they were getting ready to wrap things up, the contractor noticed that one of the shorter kitchen counters wobbled a bit on its frame support. From his pocket he removed a Leatherman Tool and a Swiss Army Knife, and with these two do-it-alls, he removed and refitted the countertop properly. Even more pleased, Bill asked Maureen to pour the gentleman a drink while Bill went and got the last of his payment. No one saw BumBill get the money, but we may safely assume that he went to the basement and entered a certain hidden room.... After the contractor left, Maureen asked Bill, "Did you pay him with some of your funny money?" "Certainly," replied Bill. "After all, he's a very good counter fitter." "More to come,"

Source: Passed to me by a colleague at the University of Idaho Did you hear the one about the day Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell and Robert Schuler were driving to a big "tent meeting" together? Unfortunately, they were involved in a terrible accident and all three were killed. As you might expect they all ascended into heaven and came to standing in front of the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greeted them and welcomed them to heaven. Then he started to hem and haw around and finally explained that they hadn't any advance notice of this situation and so weren't quite prepared for three so illustrious and holy men. He explained how all three of them qualified for the very finest accomodations heaven had to offer including very large and splendid mansions, but they weren't quite ready so would they mind waiting a few days? They replied that they wouldn't mind waiting, but were they just going to have to stand there for several days? St. Peter said no, he believed he could arrange temporary quarters for them in Hell. Sometimes Satan was willing to help out in emergencies, whereupon he placed a call to Brother Satan and made the arrangements. They descended into Hell. Noon on the fourth day after their descent St. Peter gets a frantic phone call from the Devil demanding that he remove these three guys from hell immediately. St. Peter couldn't believe his ears and asked what could possibly be wrong with these three upstanding people. The Devil replied, "They are ruining my place down here. In less than four days Jerry Falwell has saved everybody, Oral Roberts has healed everybody, and Robert Schuler has raised enough money to air condition the whole damn place!!"

A friend of mine told me how some guy came up to him to ask for directions. The guy asked "Do you know how to get to Town Hall?" to which my friend responded "Yeah. Practice." Then he turned and walked away. If an explanation for this is needed, Sydney Town Hall hosts occasional Eisteddfods and it has a very large pipe organ and small concert type events are held there but the guy was probably looking for it because it's the central landmark in the city. Anyway, we thought it was hilarious. I've got another example of unexpected answers to common questions but I've forgotten it. It post it when I remember. If you have any, please post them.

In article <3937@lectroid.sw.stratus.com>, mm@lectroid.sw.stratus.com (Mike Mahler) says: > > People are STILL telling this joke (by the way it > was originally an elephant and a frog in the bathtub > and the frog asks the elephant for soap)? > > That's not the way I heard it. If I remember right, it went something like: Two penguins were at the South Pole and decided to visit the North Pole. They couldn't agree upon which direction to go, so the first went one way and the second went the opposite direction. After many weeks of traveling, the first penguin could finally see the North Pole off in the distance. But to his surprise, the other penguin was coming up fast from the other side. Not wanting to get beaten, the first penguin made a mad dash for the North Pole; and just as he touched it he yelled out, "Radio!". But I guess your version(s) of the joke is somewhat cleaner because of the soap.

Last summer I went to my parents house (located in rural farm country) to visit and pal around with some old high school buddies. One such buddy has done quite well for himself and he decided to take me for a spin in his new porsche. Before taking it out of town for a spin (South Dakota roads are GREAT for testing Porsche's. No turns. No cops...) we needed some petrol. Pulled up to the pump and my friend immediatly struck up a conversation with the farmer filling his moped. Mostly they talked about porches` being more valuable than mopeds or something on those lines, but any way, soon we were back on the road. Well here we were, cruising down the interstate, heading out of town when all of a sudden WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH! That farmer and his moped flew passed us. Then, before the startled looks could leave our faces ZZZZZOOOOOOOOM! He was behind us again. Wow. We had never seen the likes of this before. And on a moped even. Well, we decided, "If it`s a race he wants, a race he`ll get" and promptly stepped on it. But then, before the needle could reach 85: WWWWWWWWOWOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH! ke a streak of shit. We could barely make out his moped in the blurr that shot by. Again, though, we did not have time to speak before: ZZOOM! He was instanteously behind us. My friend was fed up. He KNEW he could out run a moped so this time he accelerated unabated. But once more: WWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHH! That farmer and his moped were impossibly infront of us then, just as quickly: ZOOM! Behind us again. We were flabergasted. How a moped could obtain such phenomenal results had to be in the tank so we pulled off to ask him what kind of fuel he was running. As the car stopped and my friend rooled down his window the farmer pulled up and said, "<pant-pant-wheeze> Thanks <pant> for stopping. <more panting> <more wheezing> my suspenders were caught in your door!"

I've thought this over quite a bit this past week, and I can't understand why the Powers that Be are taking so much trouble to discourage/prevent any terrorist acts at the SuperBowl game. If an unusually competent terrorist were to achieve a close to 100% kill on the fans at the SB, the immediate result should be a measurable rise in the average IQ of the country. This we're afraid of? If said hypothetical terrorists also got the teams, that should almost triple the national increase. I suppose there are drawbacks, though...for several months, there would be a marked decrease in beer consumption and pinball playing. We don't need that when we've got a bit of a recession going. Also, it occurrs to me that the Congress of the United States probably doesn't _want_ to risk a rise in the average intelligence of their constituents -- those folks want to _stay_ in office. What do you think?

Ok, here's one that I hope hasn't been posted here more than 13675 times: There's this *very* shy young man who, after weeks of hinting by his girlfriend, builds up enough courage to have sex with her. So like any responsible youth, he goes to the nearest supermarket to buy some condoms. Well, he goes up to counter on the 1st floor, and asks in a very low voice: "Excuse me, do you sell condoms here?" The salesperson gives him a knowing smile, and says: "Let me check..." and shouts to another guy: "HEY JOE, DO WE HAVE ANY CONDOMS HERE? THIS GUY WANTS SOME..." Of course the guy was very embarassed, since people started staring and snickering... And Joe answers: "NO MAN, THEY ARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR..." So the guy sets off to the second floor. Again he approaches the salesperson and asks in a low voice for condoms...And according to Murphy's Law on Public Embarassment, the guy starts shouting to the other salespersons: "YO, WE GOT ANY CONDOMS 'ERE?" "NO, THE RUBBERS ARE UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR..." Well, the guy sets off to the third floor, followed by a small interested crowd... Needless to say, this carries on all the way up to the top floor..Finally, slightly exhausted in his search for the almighty rubbers and more than a slightly peeved, and of course followed by a large crowd, he approaches the salesperson: "Do you sell condoms here?..." "Yes sir, here you are," and hands him a packet. The guy relieved, pays for them and on turning around, finds himself facing the expectant crowd and says: "And for those of you who haven't heard, I'm getting laid tonight..." Hope it was worth the time spent reading it... Oh, and Hi! to Dinos if he is watching...

Greetings. A little background: 1) Westinghouse has several plants near/in Pittsburgh. Most notably, they have a nuclear testing facility... 2) Carnegie Mellon University does work for NASA and maybe even DoD. They certainly are at work on the Mars "rover". Anyways, a year or so ago, a new kind of poster begun appearing on telephone poles and such. All it said was: "Westinghouse makes nuclear weapons." Well, after a few months of this, a new sigh started apperaing, in conjunction with the above. It was always place above it. Now the whole thing reads: "CMU designs nuclear weapons, Westinghouse makes nuclear weapons." [sly grin] Take care. OBJ: I once had the pleasure (?) of repairing a "Made in Taiwan" PC board. This was one of those single-sided boards (only one side had copper traces). Most manufacturers put some kind of company name on the unused side. It is comparable to the imprints made in paper by paper cmpanies. These guys had the word "SLUT" as their name. I was in tears... ;-) (If I remember correctly, it was from an early arcade game.

A DAY OFF So you want the day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 days per year in which you already have two days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break that accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a one hour lunch period each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days available for work. We are off for 5 olidays per year, so your available working time is down to 1 days. We generously give you 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be DAMNED if you're going to take that day off!!

That glass of blood really sounds good." The bartender then asked the third vampire what he wanted. The third vampire replied, "I'm not all that thirsty, I'll just have some plasma."

Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel. "Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately. "It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items. "To re-order, specify one of the following: "P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls "P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And they say the Mac is a bucket of shit...

Bush :- Rubbish the allies have much better weaponry, look at what has been achieved so far, pinpoint bombing, cruise missiles with a range of hundreds of miles. Saddam :- Look I will prove to you that our technology is greater. He shouts to an aid who comes back with a lack box. Saddam :- Here mister president put your hand in this and press the button. Bush looks in the box and sees a red button, at first he refuses to entertain the idea, but eventually he puts his hand in and presses the button, he takes his hand out and finds that he has lost 3 of his fingers. Saddam :- Don't panic now put your hand back in and press the button again. So Bush puts his hand in again and presses the button, sure enough his fingers have returned. To counteract this President Bush calls to his aid who also turns up with a box, but this one red. Bush :- Ok. look at this for technology, put your hand in the box and press the button. So Saddam puts his hand in the box and presses the button. Bush :- Now take your hand out. Saddam :- That is not very good, my hand and all my fingers are still there.

>Did you ever have anyone ask you "Where's the "any" key?"? A few years ago, we taught people how to program in BASIC. (No, that isn't the joke! :-) One man had a habit of typing a line, then asking "Now what do I do?". The answer was always "Now you press RETURN". Eventually, I thought he had figured it out for himself, until one day he said "I've typed in the program, and I've typed 'RUN', and nothing's happening". I replied "Have you pressed RETURN?". "Oh, _that's_ what's wrong", he said. Amazingly enough, the program worked. (I never did figure out how he managed to type in the whole program, and then forget to press RETURN after typing "RUN".) Then there was a printer I was asked to fix. The problem, as described, was that it would go through all the motions of printing (head moves, sound of needles, etc.) but nothing would appear on the paper. First move was to try to hook it up to a computer and see for myself what happened. I noticed the ink ribbon was out of place, fitted it properly - and thought "It can't be that simple. They can't have been that stupid". It was. They had. Ob. Gulf comment: Apparently the Tomahawk cruise missiles fly along streets. They must have some way of knowing which way to turn. I'm waiting to see some system similar to their guidance system fitted into cars, so that the car will find its own way to wherever you're going - you need never get lost again.

The message about the Bear vs. Tank incident reminded me of something that happened a few years back. I don't remember the name or call-letters/numbers of the machine in question, but there was an anti-aircraft gun that the government stopped production on after spending just over a billion dollars on it. It was designed to shoot down helicopters, and hence was programmed to target rotating blades. During a test of the tageting system, it ignored all of its intended targets, and zeroed in on a nearby bathroom exhaust fan. While the technicians attempted to abort the firing sequence, that wing of the building was quickly evacuated.

I held it to my ear, and couldn't understand the message, so I went out to call the message center (and never saw the end of the movie). The thing that stuck in my mind, though, was the woman two rows behind me who turned to her friend and said, in a loud, obnoxious voice, "Him, he's a doctor?" It is almost ten years later, and I again carry a beeper, and I still go to movies. I dread being beeped out of a movie, though.

This item appeared in the Journal of Irreproducible Results in 1989, submitted by Nathan Shalit. It originally appeared in The Sciences, May/June/ 1988, by N.Y. Academy of Science. Konrad Lorenz, the great animal behaviorist, was scrupulous about cultivating fruitful confusion. Lorenz lived among his research subjects: dozens of species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes. He did not quantify, control, or consciously experiment. He got to know each creature individually, then threw them together, watching for the unexpected, the unusual, or the bizarre in the chaos that followed. For example, his interest in one of ethology's most important concepts, that of intention movements (motions with meaning, such as the head bobbing in birds that serves as an alarm signal before flight), derived from an inadvertent experiment. He had trained a free-flying raven to eat raw meat from his hand and had been feeding the bird for several hours one day. He would reach into his pants pocket and take out a piece of meat, and the raven would swoop down to grab it in its bill. By an by, Lorenz went to relieve himself near a hedge. When the raven saw him put his hand into his pants and pull out another morsel of meat, it swooped down, hungrily grasping the new mouthful in its bill. Lorenz howled in pain. But the event left a deep impression on him--about how faithfully animals respond to intention movements, that is.

Saddam calls his cabinet to a meeting. His hand-picked men lean forward in their chairs eagerly to catch whatever wisdom will burst forth from the beloved Leader's lips. "It is true, is it not," he begins, as various cabinet members prepare to race to be first to approve, "that I, Saddam Hussein, am indeed ... " ... the worst political leader in the history of the world?" His hearers are horrified. They may not contradict, for to contradict is death. But to agree with such a statement? As a man they turn to the aged mullah seated quietly near the end of the table. In the silence, the venerable elder coughs, then speaks. "I have heard," he says, "that the mirror presented you in your youth, O sublime President, which hangs in the very next room, is indeed the Speculum of the Ages, the mirror of Solomon which will answer all questions. Why not pose the question to the mirror?" "Very well, insh 'llah I shall return shortly with an answer. Let none of you leave till I return!" He departs ... and in a moment is back, looking sorely puzzled. "Who," he demands, "is Wilson Goode?"

I'm sorry about the typo, it should have been dual degree, but that article was written at 1 or 2 in the morning. What? oh thats right, now i have to right something funny. How about another silly story about a braindead, idiotic user who should be exterminated before they can reproduce. Ok, so I'm kidding about extermination; besides sterilization is just as effective and doesn't leave an ugly mess. Alright the story {this actually happened} A lady asked for help with her disk that couldnt be read. The disks were badly bent and warped, which naturally prompted me to ask why. She said typing the disk labels individually was a hassle, so she stuck the label on the disk, and ran THE WHOLE DISK through the typewriter. It was supposedly hard to do, but she managed it. No more spelling flames please, we are only human after all. Data: Observation; I have committed an error in spelling. Conclusion; I'M HUMAN! I'M HUMAN! After all these soul searching episodes, I'M FINALLY HUMAN. Besides, I'm an excellent speller. Ask my syster. Don't make fun of your enemies, make fun of yourself. If you make fun of yourself, your enemies won't have anything to laugh at. JCS120 The Tinkster

There are these two baby horses on a horse farm, Mike and Chuck. One day they decide to have a race to see who the faster horse is. So Mike and Chuck get ready to race - AND THEY'RE OFF... It's Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... around the old oak tree... it's Mike, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... AND CHUCK WINS! So Mike says to Chuck, "I suppose you are the faster horse. Congradu- lations, you win." Both horses eventually grow up and are sold to different owners. About a year later they meet up at the horse races. Mike is convinced he is the faster horse of the two now, so he asks for another race. So Mike and Chuck get ready to race - AND THEY'RE OFF... It's Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... around the bend... it's Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... AND CHUCK WINS AGAIN! So Mike says to Chuck once again, "I suppose you are still the faster horse. Congradulations, you win again." A few years later they meet up at a very large, prestiguge, horse race. Mike has been working really hard and he hasn't lost a race in a long time. He is convinced he can beat Chuck now, so he asks for another race. So Mike and Chuck get ready to race - AND THEY'RE OFF... It's Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... around the bend... it's Mike, Mike Mike, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... AND CHUCK WINS AGAIN! Now Mike is getting a little upset that he can't beat his old pal, but he is a good sport about it and congradulates him just the same. Once again, they go they're separate ways. A year later they meet in the Kentucky Derby. Mike says to Chuck that he will rest until they race again, because he knows that he can now beat him. So Mike and Chuck get ready to race - AND THEY'RE OFF... It's Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... around the bend... it's Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck...

Several years pass and Mike and Chuck are now old and retired and they meet up at the "Old Horse's Farm." They recall old times and Mike brings up the fact that he could never beat Chuck in a race. So Chuck says, "I'll tell you what, old buddy, let's have one last race right now. This time, though, I'll let you win! Will that make you happy?" Mike says that this would make him very happy! So Mike and Chuck get ready to race - AND THEY'RE OFF... It's Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... around the old oak tree... it's Mike, Chuck, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Chuck, Mike, Chuck, Mike, Chuck... AND CHUCK WINS AGAIN!!! Now Mike is really pissed! He starts screaming at Chuck, "YOU SAID THAT YOU'D LET ME WIN THIS TIME! YOU LIED TO ME! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LET ME WIN THIS ONE RACE AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IN MY OLD AGE!!!!" And the pig that was watching the whole thing jumps in on Mike's side, "I can't believe you did that, Chuck. That was a really rotten thing to do to your old pal." Mike and Chuck both look at the pig and Mike says to Chuck, "Look, a talking pig."

The following are old stories of stupid robbers: ---------------------------------------------------- A few years back, some poor fool decided to rob a bank on a Friday afternoon. Stupid fellow that one. If he had looked across the street, he would have realized that this bank was next to FBI headquarters, and it was payday. Virtually every person in the bank was an agent! Needless to say, this hapless fool got a quick lesson in law enforcement technique... ---------------------------------------------------- My cousin used to work for, er, qantel, and there were some boxes of garbage sitting on the loading dock. You bet someone stole them, after all, they were labled printer boxes and such!! ---------------------------------------------------- This reminds me of the stories which appeared in the press a few years ago during a garbage strike in N.Y. Apparently, the cabbies started wrapping up their garbage and putting it in the back of their cab. It was always gone by the end of their shift. ---------------------------------------------------- In College Park, GA, a suburb of Atlanta, an armed man entered a La Quinta hotel lobby with the intention of robbing the place. He pulled out his gun and demanded money from the hotel clerk. The funny thing is that the robber never noticed that there was a FULLY-UNIFORMED police officer standing less than 15 feet away in the lobby. Not only that, but the hotel security camera filmed the entire episode, including the arrest. The local television stations showed the tape on the evening news. ---------------------------------------------------- The stupidest tricks I've heard of, though, are always bank robbers. Like the guy who was caught walking back to the bank with a can of gas after his car ran out of gas while he was in robbing the bank. ---------------------------------------------------- They managed to enter the place without setting off the alarm, but they were unable to crack the safe by drilling holes in it or trying to hear the tumblers fall. So they decided to blow the thing open. After a loud explosion the safe was still locked tight, but the alarm had been set off. When they got to the getaway car it wouldn't start. So they each ran off in a different direction as the sirens approached. The police had no problem identifying and apprehending them, though. One of them had left his wallet on the front seat of the getaway car. ---------------------------------------------------- The other day, a South Carolina football player didn't want to be caught with the goods, so he swallowed six rocks of crack. He died a few hours later. ---------------------------------------------------- A mugger in NY city (about 1965) tried to mug (or rape) two women walking through Central Park. It turned out they were roller derby queens, and they walked on him with spike heels. I heard that he died later, but I'm not sure. ---------------------------------------------------- Two muggers in Albany NY (about 1970) tried to mug someone coming out of a grocery store. He was walking his pit bull, using a funny black belt for a leash. ---------------------------------------------------- Does anybody remember a few years back when two guys tried to hijack a New York City subway train to Miami? ---------------------------------------------------- How about the bank robber in Champiagn IL. who robbed the bank one day and return to the same bank the next day to deposit the money into his account and even went to the same teller. Well the teller keep him busy while someone called the police.

To the person who posted the long fortunes file: thanks a lot for a bunch more neat quotes. But the funniest thing to me was using a 50 line perl program, or a 160 line C program, to do what I have done in awk in half an hour with 4 lines of code. No doubt this is monstrously inefficient, not 100% portable and horrifyingly inelegant, but it works and I can keep my fortune file format real simple, to wit: clever saying of no matter how many lines # another clever saying # and so forth No fiddling with line terminators ('\'s), numbers at the beginning of each line (as some fortune programs I have seen), no limitations on how many fortunes in the file, and so forth. Now I know why new versions of software for my Mac double in size to add 10-15% more functionality. Disclaimer: This is not a sales pitch for awk, jsut for doing a job the simplest way with the tools at hand. I know next to nothing about programming, but I DO know every Unix system I have ever seen has roughly the same awk on it. Oh...here's the awk program (with minimal comments). Works on Ultrix and some other Unixes, doesn't on AIX 3.1. : nfort=`awk 'BEGIN{RS="#"}END{print NR}' .fortunes` a=`expr $$ % $nfort` <-- randomize (crudely) which fortune to pick echo $a":"$nfort <- prints the number of the fortune that will be printed, and the total number in the file awk 'BEGIN{RS="#"}NR == NREC' NREC=$a .fortunes

This guy from the city is putting in 60hrs a week, dealing with long commutes through traffic every day and coming home to a dingy little apartment in a bad neighborhood. He figures one day 'This sucks! I'm gonna spend some time in the country duck hunting.' He really needs to get away from it. So the next week he's out there standing in the freezing water at 4am, waiting. A couple of days go by. He's pissed. No ducks in sight so far. Finally, after five days, the last day of his vacation, a flock of ducks fly by. He giggles maniacly as he pumps rounds into the air. They all fly by and he's about ready to turn the gun on himself. Out of no where, a straggling duck flies by and this guy wings him with his very last shot. The duck falls. Slogging through the swamp, then through thickets and fields he goes, looking for the freaking duck. He goes over a hill and comes to a fence marking the edge of a farm. He looks around and sees the duck, dead, on the roof of the barn. Carefully he climbs over the fence and is stopped immediately by the owner of the farm. He tells the farmer of the horror he went through for that duck on the barn. Farmer says 'It fell on my land so its mine, that's the way we do things in the country son.' The guy says 'I did all the fucking work to get the thing so its MINE - THAT'S the way we look at it in the city!' The farmer says 'Get off my land or I'll get my boys to kick your ass off - that's the way we do things in the country.' The guy can't believe it. He says 'I'm not leaving without the duck and if you don't give it to me I'll get my lawyer - that's the way we do things in the city.' The farmer thinks about it and says 'There's another way to settle this. Here in the country when we have a dispute like this, the two guys take turns kicking each other in the balls. They do it over and over and whoever's left standing wins the argument. I'll go first.' The guy thinks about it and says 'You're on!' so the farmer proceeds to land a solid one right in the guy's crotch. The guy is bent over and heaving and writhing in pain - but still standing. He gasps out 'Ok.....My....My Turn....' to which the farmer replies 'Aw fuck it! You can have the duck!'

Grady Nutt, the Southern Baptist preacher turned comedian, told this same story some years ago. I recommend any of his recorded material. OBJOKE: A woman having an extramarital affair has her lover in her apartment for any early afternoon session while her husband is assumed to be at work. While sucking face and peripheral activities are occuring, she hears her husband raging down the hallway to their front door. She tells her lover "Quick! Run and hide. If he catches you here, he'll kill you!" So the man runs to hide moments before the husband enters. The husband enters, realizes the man has hidden, and proceeds to search through the entire apartment for the lover. After looking in every concievable hiding place, the husband goes to look on the balcony. On the balcony protruding out beyond and below his own balcony, he sees a man in his underwear. Convinced that this is the lover, the husband goes to his own kitchen, picks up his refrigerator, takes it to the balcony and drops it on the man below. About fifteen minutes later in heaven, a man walks up to the Pearly Gates and asks St. Peter if he can enter. St. Peter responds "First I need to know how you died." "Well, I was on a balcony and someone dropped a refrigerator on me." SP responds "Wait one minute please". Another man walks up and also asks to go in. "How did you die?" asks SP. "I dropped a refrigerator on someone, had a heart attack and died." SP tells him to wait a moment too. A third man walks up to SP and again asks to go in. SP again says "How did you die?" The man says, "Well, I was in this refrigerator . . ."

Edward Gorey is an illustrator. If you've ever seen the PBS "Mystery" series, the opening animated sequence is his work. He has put out a number of books, one of which I received as a Christmas gift, _Amphigorey_. The Gashley Crumb Tinies is one of at least two alphabets he illustrated. They appeal to an "unusual" sense of humor. I like to think of them as a take-off of those old Puritanical books for children, where the basic message was usually something like "eat your vegetables, or you will die a horrible death." He also put out _Amphigorey Two_ and _Amphigorey Also_. All three of the books I mentioned are large collections of several smaller works. _Amphigorey_ is excellent, and I'm sure the others are just as good. Does anyone have them? Any comments? Joey

He then asks the first man, "What kind of life did you lead"? The first man confesses, "I had numerous affairs with many women". "In that case", said Peter, "you get to drive a Mini in heaven". Suddenly a Mini appears and the first man jumps in and drives away. Then the second man is questioned. "What kind of life did you lead?", Peter asks. The man confesses "I had one affair". "In that case", said Peter, "you get to drive a Porsche in heaven". Suddenly a Porsche appears and the second man jumps in and drives away happily. Peter then asks the third man "What kind of life did you lead"? The third man says "I have had no affairs and I have been very faithful". "In that case", said Peter, "you get to drive a Rolls Royce". Sure enough, a roller suddenly appears and the third man jumps in and drives away. Then one day, the third man is driving his Rolls Royce and overtakes his wife on a skateboard!!

Recently, there was a keen and incisive piece on the differences between the the pronouncements made by the Iraqi media, and the truth. With a sense of humour honed to perfection, the author trenchantly, yet eloquently, laid waste the claims of Saddam Hussain's propaganda machine. However, recent reports by the press seem to indicate that the participants in Operation Desert Storm have not let their imaginations rest. So, since turnabout is fair play, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and the bathtub is still aglow with brightly coloured machine tools, let us ponder the following ... Statement : "We have completed over 10,000 missions last week", he remarked, his visage suffused with the blush of modest pride. Fact : Last week, 10,000 flights originated at our air bases. We have in- cluded in this figure refueling flights, civilian flights, all deviant Delta Airlines flights, pizza deliveries, and the all-important flights of fancy. We are also, for the moment, including flights made by our personnel to the "facilities", brought upon by consumption of spicy Arabic food. In this con- text, in all fairness, we have not included the success rate of payloads dropped. Statement : "We have had an 80% success rate", said the general, with resolute jaw thrust boldly upward. Fact : In 80% of the missions we have undertaken, we have dropped our pay- loads. In some cases, we have even, with stern resolve, hit targets. Howev- er, we acknowledge that the carpet bombing of the Tibetan Dalai Lama HQ represented an error in judgement, when one of our fine airmen mistook altitude for latitude. Statement : "We have flattened their nucular (sic) capabilities", said a grim Chief, teeth clenched in an all too common display of grit and lust. Fact : We have bombed beyond recognition a factory that resembled the Three Mile Island plant, with a clear sign in front that read "Primary Nuclear Manufacturing Unit/Infant Formula Division, Allah be merciful !". Statement : "Their communications system has been demolished", the spokesman continued, "cutting off all contact within their armed forces". A murmur of admiration filled the room. Fact : The entire Iraqi 900- and 976- lines have been systematically dis- rupted. We have re-wired the perennial favourite, the "Curse The Satanic West" 900- number to the MTV request line, and are in the process of disman- tling the toll-free lines that were earlier used by Saddam Hussain to order armaments and chemicals for his war against Iran. Statement : "The Republican Guards have being decimated", remarked the Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff In Command Of Allied Forces Worldwide For The Shielding And Subsequent Storming Of The Desert", his eyes a-twinkle with barely concealed merriment. Fact : We have impressed deeply upon the Iraqi elite Republican Guard troops the need to convert to a metric system of measurement. Have a nice day !

Please Don't eat the big white mints in the lavatory. > :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Alright then, lets see... The only word used twice in both sentences in your clue is "vous" and "the". It must then be that "vous" = "the", that makes "le" = "Frenchmen ! Please dont eat". Yea, that must be it. But Philippe had two sentences in his .sig, that's a bit harder; lets see what we can make out..... hmmmm...... OK, I got it now, it has got to be this: Him: Why didnt you tell me you were a virgin ? Her: Why didnt you wait until I got my tights off ? Yup, thats it. Heureka, its decoded. Thanks Ed, we are an unbeatable team in decoding, you and me.

As a pizza delivery guy for the past two years, (Godfather's Pizza) I have come up with my ten pet peeves of delivering pies to the Tallahasse area. 10. Sorority girls who sing and dance as I knock on the door. 9. Grandma Jones in the Caddy out for a Sunday drive. 8. Delivering sandwiches. 7. 5 orders to the downtown area during rush hour. 6. RAIN!!!! 5. Little 2 yr old who yanks on my belt loop saying: "give me pizza......give me pizza" (TRI-DELT material) 4. Customer give me about 13 rolls of nickels for the order. 3. Hitting speed bumps at 40 mph and having lunch right off the dashboard. 2. NO F*CKING TIPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. The fat lady in a towel who bends over to get the quarter that I dropped while admiring her mustache!

< After a long day of skiing, 3 guys go up to their hotel room. They undress < and go to sleep in a large king size bed together. The next morning, the < two guys on the outside wake up saying, "Oh, my dick aches like hell...I < wonder why??!?!?" < The middle guy wakes up and says, "hey guys! I had an awesome dream that < I was skiing down this great mountain!" I have heard a much more colorful verison of that joke, but unfortunately I don't have the time to post all the jokes I know. You beat me to it, but for the next time around, I post the other version below: Three guys go skiing together, one of whom is gay. It turns out that there is only one hotel room available at the lodge, so they are forced to room together. Worse than that, there is only *one* bed. But they have no choice, so they take the room. They lie down to go to sleep, the gay guy in the middle. When they wake up the next morning, they asked each other politely whether they slept okay. One of the straight guys reveals that he had a very erotic dream in which a gorgeous woman was giving him a hand job. "What a coincidence." says the other straight guy. "I had the same dream!" "Oh, my dream wasn't nearly as good," said the gay guy; "I was bombing down the mountain and I lost my poles."
