The Queen Elizabeth hosted an international party. She ate some mushrooms, that did not agree with her to well. As a result she produced gas. The first time it happened, the American ambassador stood up and said:
"I apologize, I have a sick stomach" - and left the party.
At the second time, the French ambassador stood up and said:
"I apologize, I have a sick stomach" - and left the party.
The gas disturbed the Queen again, so the Russian ambassador stood up and said:
"The full responsibility for the third fart of the Queen Elizabeth is to be credited to the Russian delegation!"

In the days when Hillary was trying to reform the American health care system she decided she needed a tour of a D.C. hospital. On the tour she came to a room on the male urology ward with the door closed. She opened the door and screamed for on the bed was a nurse giving the patient a hand job. Her doctor tour guide reassured her that everything was O.K. and that the patient had a disease of the testicles which required the collection of a sperm sample twice per day to ensure that the medication was working. Hillary was not pleased but continued on the tour until she came to a second door, also closed which she proceeded to open. What she saw reduced her to hysterics for inside was a nurse giving the patient a blow job. The doctor went over to the bed and read the patients chart and said:
"What an amazing coincidence! This man has the very same disease of the testicles except he has a better medical plan!"
Hillary and the doctor come to a third room where a patient is jacking himself off, and the doctor looks at his chart and says:
"This patient only has an HMO."


Air Force One comes in for a landing at the airport. A ramp is wheeled up and President Clinton appears carrying a pig under each arm. As he comes down the ramp, the Marine at the bottom snaps to a salute.
Clinton says, "You'll have to excuse me. I can't return your salute. My hands are full."
"Yes sir. I see the pigs, Sir!" says the Marine.
"Now hold on," says Clinton. "These aren't just pigs. These are genuine Arkansas Razorbacks!"
"Yes, Sir! Razorbacks, Sir!" says the Marine.
"I got this one for Chelsea and this one for Hillary," said Clinton
"Yes, Sir! An excellent trade if I may say so myself, Sir!"

"Yeah."
"I hope, sir, there is nothing wrong with your car ..."
"Ashtray is full!"

Poem donated by Bob Grissom. Thanks Bob :) -- though he does not take credit for writing it, just finding on the Net. As a computer nerd and father of 21-month old baby, I really enjoyed reading it. Hope you like it too!

What if Dr. Seuss wrote technical manuals?


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 icons put 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 your cable on the gable at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So 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 sucker'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 your computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Standardizing language within the European Community



Having chosen English as the preferred language in the EEC, the European Parliament has commissioned a feasibility study in ways of improving efficiency in communications between Government departments.

European officials have often pointed out that English spelling isunnecessarily difficult - for example, cough, plough, rough, through and thorough. What is clearly needed is a phased programme of changes to iron out these anomalies. The programme would, of course, be administered by a committee staff at top level by participating nations.

In the first year, for example, the committee would suggest using 's' instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants in all sities would resieve this news with joy. Then the hard 'c' could be replaced by 'k' sinse both letters are pronounsed alike. Not only would this klear up konfusion in the minds of klerikal workers, but typewriters kould be made with one less letter.

There would be growing enthusiasm when in the sekond year, it kould be announsed that the troublesome 'ph' would henseforth be written 'f'. This would make words like 'fotograf' twenty per sent shorter in print.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible. Governments would enkourage the removal of double letters which have always been a deterent to akurate speling.

We would al agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag is disgrasful. Therefor we kould drop thes and kontinu to read and writ as though nothing had hapend. By this tim it would be four years sins the skem began and peopl would be reseptive to steps sutsh as replasing 'th' by 'z'. Perhaps zen ze funktion of 'w' kould be taken on by 'v', vitsh is, after al, half a 'w'. Shortly after zis, ze unesesary 'o kould be dropd from words kontaining 'ou'. Similar arguments vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

Kontinuing zis proses yer after yer, ve vud eventuli hav a reli sensibl riten styl. After tventi yers zer vud be no mor trubls, difikultis and evrivun vud fin it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drems of ze Guvermnt vud finali hav kum tru.

A tourist got lost in the mountains and was getting dark. He was scared, but somehow found a shepherd house and asked for a shelter. He was told to sleep in the opposite side of the house than the shepherd. He was getting ready to sleep, when he overheard some strange voices from the host part of house. He approached and noticed a shepherd and a sheep doing something in a dark, so he asked what was going on, and the reply was:
"I'm having sex with a sheep!"
"Can I try it?"
"Sure! Pick one and go for it!"
So, he went, picked a sheep and repeated what he'd seen few minutes earlier. Then later he heard the shepherd laughing. Then he asked with embarrassment:
"Do I do something wrong?"
"Nope, you're doin' fine, Sir. I'm laughing, 'cause you've chosen the ugliest one!"

The latest KGB candidate class was nearing graduation. As a test, three of the best candidates were to be put to a loyalty test. Each candidate and their wives were summoned to a group of offices at the KGB academy. The men were in one room, the wives in another, and the examiners in another.

The first candidate was called into the examination room. One of the examiners placed a gun on the table and explained that the candidate is to pickup the gun, go in the other room, and shoot his wife in the head.

The candidate hardly even thinks about it before stating that he can't do it. There's no way that he could shoot his wife!

The second candidate is called into the examination room. He, too, is asked to go into the other room and shoot his wife in the head. He thinks about it for a while and says that he just couldn't do that.

Finally, the third candidate is called into the examination room. After hearing the request, he thinks about it for a while but eventually picks up the gun and goes into the other room.

Immediately, there is a bang heard from the room holding the wives. Then, five more bangs in quick fashion. After that, there is the sound of a scuffle and furniture being knocked over. A moment later, he emerges from the room with his hair all messed up, scratches on his face, and his clothes torn.

One examiner asked, "what happened?"
He replied, "some jerk put blanks in the gun so I had to strangle her!"

Joke heard on the Net. Author unknown:

Who is the BOSS?


When the Lord made Man, all the parts of the body argued over who would be the Boss.
The Brain explained that since he controlled all the parts of the body, he should be Boss.
The Legs argued that since they took the Man wherever he wanted to go, they should be the Boss.
The Stomach countered with the explanation that since he digested all the food, he should be the Boss.
The Eyes said that without them, Man would be helpless, so they should be the Boss.
Then the Asshole applied for the Job. The other parts of the body laughed so hard that the Asshole became mad and closed up.
After a few days the Brain went foggy, the Legs got wobbly, the Stomach got ill, the Eyes got crossed and were unable to see.
They all finally conceded and made the Asshole Boss.
This proves you don't have to be a Brain to be Boss...Just an asshole!

Office Prayer


Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change, the courage to change
the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom
to hide the bodies of those people I had
to kill today because they pissed me off.

And Lord, help me to be careful of the toes I step
on today as they may be connected to the ass that
I might have to kiss tomorrow.

Two three guys jokes donated by David Truong. Thanks David :)

There were three messangers of god that never sinned before and only did good deeds. One day god said to them that since they have been so good, they could each do one bad thing without being punished. The three messangers leave to do thier chosen bad deeds. The first messanger returns to god. God asks him "what did you do?" and the messanger replies "I raped someone", so god tells the messanger to go drink the holy water. The second messanger returns and god asks him the same question. This messanger tells god that he has robbed the bank and once again god tells him to go drink the holy water. The third messanger returns and is asked the same question by god. He replies "I peed in the holy water".


There were three bored guys on the top of a building. One of the guys says to the other two "how about I show you a neat trick I learned, it's magic". The other two guys agree thinking that it must be something stupid. The guy stands up and jumps off the roof of the building screaming "feathers!" and he lands on a big pile of feathers. The other two guys think that this is really neat so one of them says "pillow" and jumps off the building falling onto a really big pillow. The third guy is so excited that he runs and slips off the roof screaming "shit!"

Two guys from Arkansas are driving a garbage truck when they come to an overpass that reads: "CAUTION: Height 12' 5"!"

The guys get out and measure the truck, finding that it's over 13 feet tall.
One guy says, "What do you suppose we do?"
The other guy says, "I don't see any cops. I say we go for it!"


A yuppie had just taken delivery of his first BMW and was so excited he couldn't wait to show it off to his friends. He tore through the streets of the city, changing lanes at the speed of light, terrifying all who crossed his path, his brain intoxicated by the new-car smell. Finally he screeched to a stop in front of his best friend's house. But in his eagerness, he popped the door open without checking, just as a taxi was roaring by, and -- POW! -- the cab took off the driver-side door AND the yuppie's entire left arm.

The cabbie stops, gets out, and runs over to the bleeding, one-armed yuppie, who is sitting there, moaning, "My BMW, my BMW, my BMW, my BMW!..."

The cabbie says "Omigod, it's worse than that, your whole left arm is gone!"

The yuppie sits there stunned for a moment, then begins to scream:
"My Rolex, my Rolex, my Rolex, my Rolex!"


What's the difference between the Rolling Stones and a Scotsman?
The Rolling Stones say "Hey, you, get off of my cloud!" while a Scotsman says "Hey, MacLoud, get off of my ewe!".


A bus load of politicians were driving down a country road, when all of a sudden, the bus ran off the road and crashed into a tree in an old farmer's field. The old farmer, after seeing what happened, went over to investigate. He then proceeded to dig a hole and bury the politicians.

A few days later, the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus, and asked the farmer where all the politicians had gone. The old farmer said he had buried them. The sheriff then asked the old farmer, "Where they ALL dead?"
The old farmer replied, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them politicians lie."

Story heard at work /NASA/ :)

When Apollo Mission Astronout Neil Armstrong first walked on the Moon, he not only gave his famous "One Small Step for Man, Leap for Mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks - usual com trafffic between him, the other astronouts and Mission Control. Before he reentered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonout; however, upon checking there was no Gorsky in either the Russian nor American space programs.

Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant. On July 5, in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and so Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky:

"Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the Moon!"

It seems there was a mohel who had been practicing happily for over 40 years. During those 40 years, he kept the foreskins of all of the circumcisions he had performed. He told everyone that once he retired, he would make something out of the foreskins to remind him of his life's work.

After retirement, he took all of those foreskins and locked himself away in a room. When he came out, he showed everyone his momento, a change purse. When asked why the only thing he had to show for 40 years worth of foreskins was a change purse, he replied:
"Don't worry, I just rub it and it becomes a suitcase."

Astronauts landed on a planet made up only of women. The leader of the planet came out, fascinated with the men and started a conversation.
The men, naturally curious asked the leader, "How do you repopulate the planet without men?"
The leader said, "Thats easy, let me show you."
She took the Astronauts into a large building where there was a huge vat of fluid. One of the women would stand over the fluid with a large paddle, stirring and stirring and stirring. After a while she pulls a baby out.
The Astronaut, surprised and amazed said, "Now on earth, we do it a little different."
The leader asked, "Please show me."
The Astronaut took her into a room and came out an hour later. She had a big grin on her face but then asked, "That's interesting but where's the baby?"
The Astronaut said, "Oh, that comes nine months later."
She then asked, "Well, why did you quit stirring?"

A rabbit was running through the forrest and announcing to all animals that he is writing the Master Thesis on 'Why the Wolves are dumber than the Rabbits'. When a wolf heard that, he run after the rabbit. They got into the bushes; there was heard a shaking noise and than the wolf with vibrating voice proclaimed:

"That's true, the rabbits are smarter than the wolves!"

Afterwards, the wolf came out of bushes with broken hand, hanging ear and messed up fur. He was followed by a bear, who, while waving his hands to remove unwanted stuff, said:

"It ain't matter who writes the thesis, it matters who is the advisor!"

The Polish International Committe decided to do something about Poles being victims of stupid jokes and show the world their brilliance. A team of Polish Civil Engineers was commissioned to build the most advanced and the most beautiful bridge. The completed the task, having built it in the Sahara Desert. When they came for appreciation and blessing by the Pope, he was embarassed and insisted that the bridge in demolished, as being in the desert is an embarassment and proof of stupidity and not the contrary intended.

The team went to the Sahara, and came back despondent reporting - regret cannot demolish the bridge - there are over a hundred IRISHMEN trying to fish off it.

A bird was flying around when a winter storm appeared out of nowhere. The bird became covered with ice and fell to the ground. If that wasn't bad enough, a cow came and shitted on him. The shit defrosted the bird. Since the bird was warm and happy, he began to sing. A nearby cat heard the singing and ran bover there and ate the ird.

The moral of the story is that not everyone who gets you into shit is your enemy, but not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. If you're warm and happy, keep your big mouth closed!

It was the 1st day of school. The 2nd grade teacher asked some of her students to tell the class a story of something that had happened to them over the summer break in which they learned a moral.

The first student stood up and said, "Well, I went to my father's farm, and one day we counted the eggs in the chicken coop to see how many chicks we would get, but that night a wolf came and ate 1/2 of the eggs. The moral I learned was don't count your chickens before they're hatched." "Very good," said the teacher.

The second student stood up and said, "Well, one day my mother sent me to the market to get some milk, and on my way home, I got beat up by the neighbor bully who spilled my milk all over the ground. I went home crying to my mother. And she said not to cry over spilled milk. "Very good," said the teacher.

Then Little Johnny stood up and said, "My father told me one of his war stories, and it went like this. He was stranded in a fox hole with only one bottle of Jack Daniels, 12 rounds of ammo, and 2 grenades. Well, he drank the whiskey, then the enemy came. He shot up 12 guys, and blew up 20 more with the grenades." "Well, what moral could you have possibly have gotten from such a story?" asked the teacher.

"Don't fuck with my dad when he's drunk."

A guy walks into a bar and sits down next to an attractive young lady. In a short while, they strike up a conversation. The guy asks the lady what she does for a living and she tells him that she is a grad student.
"Oh, really. What are you studying?", he asks.
"Physiology," she responds.
"Any specific area?" he inquires.
"As a matter of fact," she says, "I'm studying the size of the human penis."
"So, what race has the largest?" he asks.
"Well," she says, "there are two ways to measure: size and length. The longest on average are the American Indians and the widest on average are the Irish. But really, that's enough about me. Who are you, and what do you do?"
"Let me introduce myself," he says, "my name is Geronimo O'Reilly!"

From IRS

All Male Taxpayers

Dear Taxpayer:

The only thing that the Internal Revenue Service has not taxed is you pecker. This is due to the fact that 40% of the time it is hanging around unemployed, 30% of the time it is pissed off, 20% of the time it is hard up, and 10% of the time it is employed, but it operates in the hole. Furthermore, it has two dependents, both of which are nuts. In accordance with IRC, after January 1, 1997, your pecker will be taxed, based on its size, using the "Pecker-Checker scale" as listed below. Determine your category and insert additional tax under "other taxes".

10-12 inches---------Luxury Tax--------$50
8-10 inches-----------Pole Tax----------$25
6-8 inches-------------Privilege Tax----$15
4-6 inches-------------Nuisance Tax----$5

Note: Anyone under 4 inches is eligible for a refund.

DO NOT: Apply for an Extension.

Males with a pecker in excess of 12 inches should file under Schedule D - Capital Gains.

A few days after Christmas, a Mother working in her kitchen was listening to her son playing with his new electric train set in the living room. She heard the train stop and then heard her son say,

"All of you sons-of-bitches who want off, get the hell off now, 'cause this is the last stop. And, all of you sons-of-bitches who are gettin' on, get your asses in the train 'cause we're leaving!".

The Mother went in and told Little Johnny, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now, I want you to go to your room for two hours. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nicer language."

Two hours later, Little Johnny came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the Mother heard her son say,

"All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today, and we hope that you will ride with us again soon. For those of you just boarding, we ask that you stow all of your hand luggage under your seat or in the overhead racks. Remember that there is no smoking except in the Club Car. We hope that you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today. For those of you who are pissed off because of the two hour delay, please see the Bitch in the kitchen."

There was a small town where the residents didn't now what fidelity in marriage is. However, they used to confess their sin every week at the local church. The priest got tired of this, everybody describing during confession how many times they sinned. So he told the people to tell him that they fell behind the church and not mention the sex part at all. Everyone got used to the new way of confessing.

Some years later, a new priest came to town because the old one had passed away. He couldn't understand why people came to confess their slips behind the church and decided to talk to the mayor about it.

Priest, "It seems that the pavement behind the church needs some arrangement as many people tell me that they slip behind the church"

The Mayor laughed his heart out.
Priest, "Don't you laugh at me! Your wife slipped two times last week!"

A young couple wed and move to a farm. The groom sees a small locked box and asks his new bride about it.
"That's just my secret, woman things," she says.
The groom accepts that, and never asks about it again. Fifty years go by, and the man happens to come across the box one day. The temptation is too much for him, so he picks the lock. Inside are three eggs and $20,000 in cash. He takes it to his wife and confesses what he did.
"I guess that's okay," she says. "After all these years, there shouldn't be any secrets between us."
"Why are there three eggs in there?" he asks.
"Well," she says, "whenever we had sex and it wasn't very good, I'd put in an egg."
He looks at the three eggs and thinks about their fifty years together and decides that's not too bad. "But where did the money come from?" he asks.
"Well," she says, "every time there were a dozen eggs, I'd take them to town and sell them."


A teacher gave her class an assignment to find out what their fathers did for a living, learn how to spell it, and make up a sentence about it. The next day, she calls on a little French girl.
"My father's a chef. That's c--h--e--f. If my father was here, he'd make us a nice lunch."
"That's very good," the teacher says. Then she calls on a little English boy. "My father's a tailor. That's t--a--i--l--o--r. And if my father was here, he'd make all of us boys a nice suit."
"That's very good," the teacher says. Then she call on a little Italian boy.
"My father's an electrician. That's e--l--e--t . . . no, it's e--l--c-- . . . no . . ."
"That's okay," the teacher says. "That's an awfully big word. Why don't you sit down and think about it for a while."
Then she calls on little Johnny.
"My dad's a bookie. That's b--o--o--k--i--e. And if pop was here he'd lay ten-to-one the Italian can't spell electrician."

The Five Toughest Questions Women Ask Men

Here are answers to 5 of the toughest questions women ask men.

  1. "What are you thinking?"
  2. "Do you love me?"
  3. "Do I look fat?"
  4. "Do you think she is prettier than me?"
  5. "What would you do if I died?"

What makes these questions so bad is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer properly, which is to say dishonestly.

For example:

  1. "What are you thinking?"

The proper answer to this question, of course is,
"I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I am to have met you."

Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which was most likely one of five things:


According to the Sassy article, the best answer to this stupid question came from Al Bundy, of Married With Children, who was asked it by his wife, Peg.
"If I wanted you to know," Al said, "I'd be talking instead of thinking."

The other questions also have only one right answer but many wrong answers:


  1. "Do you love me?"

The correct answer to this question is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the need to be more elaborate, you may answer,
"Yes, dear."

Wrong answers include:



  1. "Do I look fat?"

The correct male response to this question is to confidently and emphatically state,
"No, of course not"
and then quickly leave the room. Wrong answers include:



  1. "Do you think she's prettier than me?"

The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were staring at so hard that you almost caused a traffic accident or an actress in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is,
"No, you are much prettier."

Wrong answers include:


  1. "What would you do if I died?"

Correct answer:

"Dearest love, in the event of your untimely demise, life would cease to have meaning for me and I would perforce hurl myself under the front tires of the first Domino's Pizza truck that came my way."

This might be the stupidest question of the lot, as is illustrated by the following stupid exchange:

"Dear," said the wife. "What would you do if I died?"
"Why, dear, I would be extremely upset," said the husband. "Why do you ask such a question?"
"Would you remarry?" persevered the wife.
"No, of course not, dear" said the husband.
"Don't you like being married?" said the wife.
"Of course I do, dear" he said.
"Then why wouldn't you remarry?"
"Alright," said the husband, "I'd remarry."
"You would?" said the wife, looking vaguely hurt.
"Yes" said the husband.
"Would you sleep with her in our bed?" said the wife after a long pause.
"Well yes, I suppose I would." replied the husband.
"I see," said the wife indignantly. "And would you let her wear my old clothes?"
"I suppose, if she wanted to" said the husband.
"Really," said the wife icily. "And would you take down the pictures of me and replace them with pictures of her?"
"Yes. I think that would be the correct thing to do."
"Is that so?" said the wife, leaping to her feet. "And I suppose you'd let her play with my golf clubs, too."
"Of course not, dear," said the husband. "She's left-handed..."

How do you know if you're in love, lust or marriage?

Love Lust Marriage
when your eyes meet across a crowded room. when your tongues meet across a crowded room. when your belt won't meet around your waist, and you don't care.
when intercourse is called making love. all other times. what's intercourse?
when you share everything you own. when you think twice about giving your partner bus money. when the bank owns everything.
when you argue over how many children to have. when you argue over who gets the wet spot. when you argue over money.
when it doesn't matter if you don't climax. when the relationship is over if you don't climax. what's a climax?
when you phone each other just to say "Gidday". when you phone each other just to organize sex. when you phone each other to find out what time your son's game starts.
when you write poems about your partner. when all you write is your phone number. when all you write is cheques.
when you show concern for your partners' feelings. when you couldn't give a shit. when your only concern is what's on TV.
when your farewell is "I love you darling ...". when your farewell is "So, same time next week?". when your farewell is silent.
when you are proud to be seen in public with your partner. when you only ever see each other in the bedroom. when you never see each other awake.
when your heart flutters everytime you see them. when your groin twitches everytime you see them. when your wallet empties everytime you see them.
when nobody else matters. when nobody else knows. when everybody else matters and you don't care who knows.
when all the songs on the radio describe exactly how you feel. when it's just the same mushy old shit. when you never listen to music.
when breaking up is something you try not to think about. when staying together is something you try not to think about. when just getting through today is your only thought.
when you're interested in everything your partner does. when you're only interested in one thing. when you're not interested in what your partner does and the one thing you're interested in is your golf score.

Were you frustrated with your ISP' tech support before submitting this joke?


Tech Support...

Warning: Any resemblance between this fictional piece and a real person is most certainly accidental.

*ring* *ring*

"Hello! Local ISP, how can I help you?"
"Well, I was sorta hoping someone could walk me through taking a leak"
"Okay... well, do you have to go now?"
"Yes, I do"
"Okay... well, are you on male or female equipment?"
"MALE-CLONE..."
"Okay, the first thing we want to do is find your fly.."
"My what?"
"Your fly... it opens your pants. It should be in the front of you.   Look down"
"I see shoes"
"No, sir... look sorta in the front of you... like just below your stomach. You should see some metal on your pants. 
That's your fly.."
"The round thing?"
"Well, that's your button... let's open that, too, while we're down there. The fly looks like a lot of little metal 
things sideways"
"Oh, okay.. got it.    Okay, it's open.."
"Okay, sir... can you grab your willy?"
"No."
"Do you see your willy?"
"No."
"Okay... what do you see?"
"I see white... just white and some lines.."
"Do you have underwear installed?"
"No."
"Sir, if you can't see your willy, and you see only white... I think that you may have underwear installed. We are 
going to have to uninstall your underwear to take a leak...."
"Well, my friend was the last one to use my fly... he might have installed underwear..."
"Okay, sir... well grab the white part and pull down... keep pulling until you see your willy.."
"It's stuck... it won't go down..."
"The white part? Or your willy?"
"My willy..."
"DON'T pull down on your willy, sir... just the underwear... we only want to get to the point where we can see it...."
"Oh... okay, we're there...."
"Okay... now look around the room... do you see anything made of porcelain?"
"I see a little penguin on a shelf ..."
"Okay, sir...you're in the living room.... go to the bathroom. We can't take a leak until we are in the bathroom. The 
bathroom will have a lot of tile, maybe some carpeting... yours might have mirrors or some soap in it. Some people have 
showers in their bathrooms..."
"Well, I'm downstairs... I think the bathroom is upstairs..."
"Okay, well... let's go upstairs..."
"I can't walk..."
"Okay, sir... temporarily reinstall your underwear... then go upstairs... then uninstall your underwear again..."
"That was the white part, right?"
"Yes, sir... that's correct..."

"Okay, I'm upstairs..."
"Okay... now do you see any porcelain bowl-type things?"

Old joke submitted (again) by 16-year old Edwin Lee. Thanks Edwin :)


Everybody who has a dog calls him "Rover" or "Boy". I call my dog "Sex".

Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to get his license, I told the clerk I would like to have a license for Sex. He said, "I'd like to have one too." Then I said, "But this is a dog." He said I didn't care what she looked like. Then I said, "You don't understand, I've had Sex since I was 9 year old." He said I must have been quite a kid.

When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. I told the hotel clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the place was for sex. I said, "You don't understand, Sex keeps me awake at night." The Clerk said "Me too."

One day I entered Sex in a contest but before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just standing there looking around. I told him I had planned to have Sex entered in the contest. He told me that I should have sold tickets. "But you don't understand", I said, "I had hoped to have Sex on television." He called me a show-off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to file for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I got married." The judge said "Me too." Then I told him that after I was married, Sex had left me. He said, "Me too."

Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking around town for him. A cop came over to me and asked "What are you doing in this alley at 4 in the morning?" I said, "I'm looking for Sex..."

My case comes up on Friday.....

Since this is an election week, something relevant from Communist Poland circa 1970. Ain't we proud to vote instead for such political giants and great human beings as Clinton, Dole and Perot ;(

The prime secretary of the Polish Communist Party comes to his headquarters and sees a lot of his inferiors running around and desperatly looking for something. He asks:
"What's happening?"
and hears the reply:
"We lost the results of tomorrow's election!"


One more -- a motto of working class from the same location and time period:

A joke from Checkoslovakia circa 1968 donated by Andrew Olas. Thanks Andrew :)

During a party meeting the speaker announces that in five years Checkoslovakia will reach Communism. Most of the gathered crowd, after recalling their bad experience with Socialism, accepts the news pesimismistically. Only one person, seating in the last row, laughs and giggles.
"Why are you so cheerful, didn't you hear that in five years will live in Communism!"
"I don't care about it -- I have a cancer!!!"


This reminds me another joke from the same geographic location and time period...

"How do you test a new bridge in Checkoslovakia?"
"Send the Russian army to pass through. If they make it -- the bridge is good; if they don't -- the bridge is even better."


...and another one to the east from there, twenty some years earier:

Central Committee meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Generalissimos Stalin is giving a speech. Suddenly somebody sneezes. Interrupted Stalin asks:
"Who sneezed?"
There was no answer, so he ordered:
"Shoot the entire front row!"
...and continued his state address. Again someone sneezed, so he asked again:
"Who sneezed?"
And again there was no answer, so he ordered:
"Shoot the entire second row!"
...and continued his state address. Again someone sneezed, so he asked again:
"Who did it?"
An old person sitting in the last row stood up shakingly and said:
"It was me, Comrade Stalin!"
...and heard Stalin's reply:
"God bless you comrade, god bless you!"

A man complained to his friend, "My elbow really hurts. I guess I should see a doctor."

His friend offered, "Don't do that!!! There's a computer at the drugstore that can diagnose anything, quicker and cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10.00."

The man figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00. The computer started making some noises and the various lights started flashing. After a brief pause, out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed:


Late that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a try.

He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction. He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00. The machine again made the usual noise and printed out the following analysis:

A farmer drove to the grocery store one day with his three-legged pig riding in the back of his pick-up truck. When he emerged from the store, he found a trio of locals examining the pig.

"How'd he loose that leg?" one asked.

"Well," the farmer replied, "one time the house caught on fire and that pig busted out of his pen, rushed into the burning house and dragged my youngest daughter out."

"That sure is a good pig. Is that how he lost his leg?" the other wanted to know.

"No," the farmer answered, "but once my oldest boy was skating on the farm pond and fell through the ice. That pig scooted under the gate, leaped into the pond and dragged the boy out."

"That sure is a good pig. Is that how he lost his leg?" the first man asked.

"No," the farmer once again replied. "But, one time I was plowing in the field and the tractor turned over on me. This here pig jumped the fence, ran out to the field and pushed the tractor off of me with his snout."

"Was that when he lost his leg?" the third local man asked.

"No," the farmer answered.

One of the by-standers finally lost patience with the farmer and exclaimed, "For crying out loud: how did this pig loose his leg?"

"Well," answered the farmer, "when you have a good pig like this, you don't want to eat him all at once."

Two Americans, a successful business man and a lawyer, were travelling on the Trans-Siberian Express along with a Russian and a Cuban.

Not long after the train left the station, the Russian reached into his bag and produced a bottle of the finest Vodka that Rubles could buy. He offered some to his travelling companions and took a small drink from the bottle himself. He then opened the window and tossed out the remainder. Both Americans were shocked, but the Russian explained,
"In Russia, we have more Vodka than we know what to do with. Even the best is really worthless to us."

In a short while, the Cuban produced a box of the very finest Cuban cigars. He offered them to the others in the compartment and lit one for himself. After a couple of puffs, he opened the window and tossed out the remaining cigars, box and all. The Americans were aghast, but the Cuban explained,
"In Cuba, we have more cigars than we know what to do with. Even the best is really worthless to us."

After a short while, the American business man jumped up, opened the window and tossed the lawyer out...

Polish (from Poland) joke Igor've heard in Russia...

Anxious Pole, who wants to deposit 300 zlotys in the Polish State Bank asks the teller:
- What if your bank goes bankrupt?
- Our Bank cannot go bankrupt: it is backed up by the assets of Peoples Republic of Poland!
- But what if Poland goes bankrupt?
- Poland can't go bankrupt - it is backed up by Comecon!
- But what if Comecon goes bankrupt?
- Comecon cannot go bankrupt - it is backed up by our Big Brother - the Great Soviet Union!
- But what if the Great Soviet Union goes bankrupt?
- And you won't give your shitty 300 zlotys for this?!

...Roman's WEB Place would happily donate for that noble cause ;) How 'bout ya all?



...and his favorite religious joke:

A Jew comes to a Rabi:
- Rabi, help, I'm so horrified - my son just turned Christian!
- Well, Rabi says, it's a very sensitive issue, I have to seek Lord's advice, so please come tomorrow...
So he comes back tomorrow:
- So, Rabi, what shall I do?
- Well, my dear, the Rabi says, unfortunately I cannot help you...
- But Rabi!!!! You talked to the Lord!!!!
- Oh, yes. And the Lord said - he's got exactly the same problem...

A couple of weeks ago I gave birth to a kidney stone - though "kidney boulder with steel spikes sticking out of it" would be a better description of the whole ordeal, in my opinion. It all started at the health club, where I was watching women perform aerobics. Naturally, I assumed the sharp pain in my side was just my body’s usual reaction to exercise, and quickly hit the showers in an attempt to assure my muscles that I wasn’t about to try that type of exertion myself.

A few hours later, though, it was even worse--it felt like a large, rabid walrus had bitten me in the side. Those of you who have had this happen to you can comprehend what I am saying here. I called my wife. "You were just kidding about that voodoo doll thing, right?" I asked her. I explained what was happening, using words like "near death" and "state of national emergency" so she would know I wasn’t exaggerating. Her response was to remind me that she was in labor for 26 hours with our first child.

"Oh, this is far worse than that," I promised her, earning myself the Dial Tone Award for Least Appreciation of Cervical Dilation.

Then, and I still resent my body for this, it got even WORSE. "Hey!" I shouted with considerable self-pity. "HEY!"

A call to the doctor confirmed I could have an appointment in about sixty days, or fifty nine and a half days past my tortured death. "We have to go to the Emergency Room. The ER," I gasped professionally to my wife, whose expression did not convey the appropriate amount of concern. "This is ten times worse than having a baby," I moaned, so she would appreciate just how bad it was. Her response is not printable in this column - let’s just say "appreciation" doesn’t exactly fit the mood.

At the ER I looked like an animal caught in a steel trap. "No, you go ahead," urged two guys with shotgun wounds. "I was in labor for 26 hours, " my wife informed the admittance clerk. They told each other birth stories, recounting each contraction, while the hospital auditors went over my financial statements, checked my insurance companies, and interviewed my neighbors to make sure I could pay for the lack of service I was about to receive. In the waiting room, I tried to distract myself with a magazine article. Richard Nixon was Time’s "Man of the Year."

Passing a kidney stone feels a little like giving birth to a herd of longhorn cattle. "My spleen and liver are coming out too," I warned anyone who would listen. "Shouldn’t we notify the media about this?" Then, feeling that wearing a gown which offered the world a peep show didn’t humiliate me enough, they handed me what looked like a coffee filter to "trap" the stone in when it "came out."

"You want me to use this?" I demanded. "Give me a catcher’s mitt. Get a ten gallon bucket. You don’t seem to understand, this thing is HUGE."

When I finally did deposit the source of my agony in the trap, it was, admittedly, less like a porcupine than I expected, but by then I was past caring. The stone was whisked off by a lab assistant to be sent to the United States Center for the Study of the Most Painful Objects in the Universe, Far More Painful than Having a Baby, and I was given the cheery advice that once your kidneys start producing these rocks, they don’t stop. "We’ll be seeing you again, " the nurse promised with a wink, handing me a bill which guarantees that my children will never go to college. "No you won’t," I vowed, "I’m having my kidneys removed at the first possible opportunity."

Submited by our frequent joke provider Krzysztof F. Plizga. Thanks Krzysztof :)

Joe was moderately successful in the career, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem. "The good news is I can cure your headaches. . ."

"The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine. The pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he has anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.

When he left the hospital, his mind was clear, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.

He walked past a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need: a new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The salesman eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see. . .size 44 long."

Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job."

Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure . . ." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see. . .34 sleeve and . . . 16 and a half neck"

Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job."

Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?"

Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure . . ." The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see. . .9 and a half.. . wide."

Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?" "It's my job."

Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe was feeling great, when the salesman asked,"How about some new underwear?"

Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure . . " The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see. .. size 36."

Joe laughed, "No, I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. It would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
