Joke: Government Jobs

John goes to his city's Municipality to apply for a job.

The interviewer asks him, "Are you allergic to anything?"

He replies, "Yes - coffee."

"Have you ever been in the military service?

"Yes," he says, "I was in Iraq for two years."

The interviewer says,"That will give you 5 extra points towards employment." Then he asks,"Are you disabled in any way?"

John says,"Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both of my testicles."

The interviewer grimaces and then says, "O.K. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are from 8:00 A.M. To 4:00 P.M. You can start tomorrow from 10:00 AM every day."

John is puzzled and asks, "If the work hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., why do you want me to start here from10:00 A.M.?"

"This is a government job," the interviewer says, "For the first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point you coming in for that."

Joke: Barber and the "community service" haircuts

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen other Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

Joke: Special Crossings

Paddy was in New York.

He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, 'Okay, pedestrians.' Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.

He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.

After the cop had shouted, 'Pedestrians!' for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, 'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?'

Joke: The miracle Hair Spray

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road.

He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.

Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.

A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.

She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.

"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

The blonde says, "Don't worry."

She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.

She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.

The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished!

He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

It says...

(Are you ready for this?)

(Are you sure?)

(This is bad!)

(It's definitely a Blonde Joke!)

(You know, you could, just click off now and never read the punch line....)

(You're gonna be sorry)

(Last chance)



(OK, here it is)


It says;



" Hair Spray Restores life to dead hair; adds permanent wave. "

Joke: Tolerance is the name of the game

I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built at Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, " The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called " You Mecca Me Hot ."

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called " Iraq o' Ribs. "

Across the street there could be a lingerie store called " Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, " Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called " Morehammered. "

All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved. If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think this is a good plan, please pass it on...

Long arm of the law

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense:

"My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few
Trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can
Punish the whole individual for an offence committed by his limb."

"Well put," the judge replied. 

"Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."


The defendant smiled. 

With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

That old guy from Louisiana

An elderly man in Louisiana had owned a large farm for several years.

He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.

He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.

As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'

The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.'

Holding the bucket up he said,
'I'm here to feed the alligator...'

Mixed Emotions



A husband and wife were sitting watching a TV program about psychology and explaining the phenomenon of "mixed emotions".

The husband turned to his wife and said, "Honey, that is a bunch of crap. I bet you can't tell me anything that will make me happy and sad at the same time.

She said: "Out of all your friends, you have the biggest pecker."

There was a bit of confusion at the store this morning. 

      When I was ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

     When the hysterical screaming and store alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.

same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to
require hip surgery.

       TheSECOND sees his family doctor after waiting 3
weeks for an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a
specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another
week and finally has his surgery is scheduled for 6 months from
then pending the review boards decision on his age and
remaining value to society.

  Solution to the problem:    In November if  Obama and his gang are reelected, it's time to have a good vet. 

Innocent as "Innocent" can be


State Trooper was patrolling late at night off the main highway.  He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.   He carefully approaches the car to get a closer look.  Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine.  He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, filing her fingernails.  Puzzled by this surprising situation, the trooper walks to the car and gently raps on the driver's window.
The young man lowers his window.  "'Uh, yes, Officer?"
The trooper asks: "What are you doing?"
The young man says: "'Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine."
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the trooper says: "And her, what is she doing?"
The young man shrugs:"Sir, I believe she's filing her fingernails."
Now, the trooper is totally confused. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in a lover's lane... And nothing obscene is happening!

Getting married in Heaven poses a big problem

On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple was involved in a fatal car accident.
The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.
While waiting they began to wonder; could they possibly get married in  Heaven?

When St. Peter arrived, they asked him if they could get married in  Heaven.
St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out," and he left.

The couple sat and waited for an answer... for a couple of months.
While they waited, they discussed the pros and cons. If they were allowed to get married in Heaven, should they get married, what with  the eternal aspect of it all? "What if it doesn't work? Are we stuck in Heaven together forever?"

Yet another month passed before St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled.
 "Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple. "But we were just wondering; what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard on the ground.

 "What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
 "OH, COME ON!" St. Peter shouted. "It took me 3 months to find a priest up here!

 Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take to find a lawyer?!

A Congress of Baboons

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with
a Herd ofcows,
a Flock of chickens,
a School of fish
and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is:
a Pride of lions,
a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),
an Exaltation of doves
and, presumably because they look so wise:
a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons.  They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.  And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ……. a Congress!



A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington

Tourists and accents

Two visitors from Italy touring the USA  get onto a bus in New York.
They sit down & engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:

"Emma cums first.
Den I cum.
Den two asses cum together.
I cum once-a-more!
2 asses, they cum 2gether again.
I cum again and pee twice.
Then I cum one lasta time."

The lady can't take this any more and shouts "You foul-mouthed sex-obsessed maniacs, in this country we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives however extraordinary they might be."

"Hey, coola down lady,' said the man. "Who talkin' about sex?

I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell Mississippi."

How to get loud cellphone speakers to STFU


After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson .

As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice:
 
"Hi sweetheart it's Eric, I'm on the train - yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting - no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life - yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" etc., etc.

Fifteen minutes later at St. Anne de Bellevue he was still talking loudly , when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice:
 
"Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!"

My guess would be that Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer

Spanish Lessons and the Debate about a computer


A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish,
unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
       'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'

       'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

       A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into
two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves
whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group
was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

        The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be
of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

       1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
       2. The native language they use to communicate with other
computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
       3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory
for possible later retrieval; and
       4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.



The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
Masculine ('el computador'), because:

       1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
       2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
       3. They are supposed to help you solve problems,  but half the time they ARE the problem; and
        4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

       The women won.

Joke: Driving at night


An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. And is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

Obama's supporters


Today I had to run to our local grocery store.  As I approached the entrance,
I noticed a driver looking for a parking space.   
 
I flagged the driver and pointed out a parking space in the handicap area.
The driver looked puzzled.
 
''I'm not handicapped'' she said.  
Well, was my face red. ''Oh, sorry about that, I saw your Obama sticker and just presumed...''
She gave me the finger and called me some nasty names.

Sheesh!  Some people... and you're just trying to help them.

Maxine on Minorities



We need
to show more sympathy
for these people.

don't
They don't get paid enough 
wages.
*
They do jobs that others won't do
or
are afraid to do.
*
They
live in crowded
conditions
among a people who
speak a different
language.
*
They
rarely see their families,
and they
face adversity all day ~ every
day.
*I'm not
talking about illegal Mexicans
I'm talking
about our troops!

Doesn't
it seem strange that so
many are
willing to lavish all kinds
of social
benefits on illegals,
but don't support our
troops?

Wouldn't it
be great if we took
the
$360,000,000,000 (that's billion)
we spend on
illegals every
year, and spend it on our
troops!!!

Joke: Clinics better than Hotel rooms

A couple went to the sex therapists office at the hospital.

The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"

The man said, "Will you watch us having sex, for your expert analysis?"

The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed.
When the couple finished, the doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse, " and
charged them $100.
This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an Appointment, have intercourse with no
problems, pay the doctor and then leave.

Finally the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?"

The man said, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married And we can't go to her house - I'm married and we can't go to my house. 
Hotels charge more than what you charge me
AND  I can claim these visits to you  as legitimate medical expenses.
Can't beat that !!

Movie: Enemy of the State

This is a good movie from 1998. If you haven't seen  it  before, watch it now before it's removed from YouTube. Good stuff, especially good  full movies, don't last more than a month or two on YouTube.

Joke: Parents hate smart-ass teachers

Mr. Dickson asked his 4th graders one day if anyone knew how to put 2 holes into 1 hole. Since no one was able to answer the question, he told the kids to go home and ask their fathers.

They came back the next day and still no one knew the answer. “Look,” said Mr. Dickson while holding his index finger against his thumb, forming a little “zero.” “This is one hole, my nose has 2 holes, and Ican put my hand over my nose and make my nose holes appear inside this other hole.”

“Aaaaaaahhhhhh,” said the children.

The next day, Little Johnny stood up and said, “Mr. Dickson, my daddy wants to know if you know how toput 7 holes in 1 hole.”

“Hmmmm,” he thought, “How can you put 7 holes in 1? Well, I'll be darned; I don't know how to do that. Um, did your father tell you how to?”

“Yes,” said Little Johnny, “You take a flute and shove it up your ass!"

Joke: Taxman and taxpayer .... Canadian way

Revenue Canada decides to audit Grandpa and summons him to the Revenue Canada office. The Revenue Canada auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.


The auditor said, ‘Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the Revenue Canada finds that believable.’

I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,’ says Grandpa. ‘How about it?’ The auditor thinks for a moment and then said, ‘Okay. Go ahead.’

Grandpa says, ‘I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.’ The auditor thinks a moment and says, ‘Okay, I’ll bet to that.’

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops. Grandpa says, ‘Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.’

Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, and Grandpa’s attorney is a witness. He starts to get nervous.

‘Want to go double or nothing?’ Grandpa asks. ‘I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.’

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.

But Grandpa’s attorney moans and buries his head in his hands.

‘Are you okay?’ the auditor asks. ‘No I’m not,’ says the attorney. ‘This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it!’

Joke: The lows and highs of life

A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon) - but mostly to see the horses. When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinals.

Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, helping them to hold on to their 'wee-wees' to direct the flow away from their clothes.

As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed.

Trying not to show that she was staring, the teacher said, 'You must be in the 5th grade.'

 'No, ma'am', he replied. 'I'm riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help.'
