3 men - 3 wishes
Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and an ALABAMA GENTLEMAN are all working together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. 'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total', says the Genie. The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada .' POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming. Osama was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land.' POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries. The Alabama Gentleman says, 'I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.' The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 5oo f eet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable.' The Alabamian sits down on his Harley, cracks a beer, lights a cigar,smiles and says, 'Fill it with water.'
(Actually, Ray-CPR2816 should get credit for this one; Thanks Ray!)

The butler did it on the on the air (25 25) with a microphone:
Anybody hear me out there? If you can - nod loudly. (yardmaster @ 20:38 7/10 - Butler Wi USA)
Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. "Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapistand I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me", she told him.
'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied.
He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands at his groin.
At her insistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside.
She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, "How does that feel"?
He replied: "It feels great, but I think my thumb's still broken!"

Fishing contest The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win.. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election. Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner. After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, Obama returned to the starting line and he had ten fish. Soon, John McCain returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day. At the end of the 2nd day Obama came in with 20 fish and McCain came in again with none. That evening, Rick Davis got together secretly with John McCain and said, 'John, I think Obama is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.' The next night (after Obama returns with 50 fish), Rick said to John McCain, 'Well, tell me, how is Obama. cheating?' John McCain replied, 'Rick, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice!'

did you ever get it to work? It's standard Microsoft Windows procedure. Fill us in on what happened, since "it didn't work" could cover a whole lot of scenarios.
Also one variation is instead of "move your coursor over the text while holding down the select button", press Ctrl-A, which will highlight All text in the window. Then back to the instructions: Ctrl-C to copy, open a text editor such as notepad, Ctrl-V to paste. That will probably paste more than you want, but then you can just edit the notepad to throw away the extra stuff. I find that's usually easier than trying to move the cursor and hold down the mouse button at the same time to fine tune the original selection, especially if I wanted most of the page in the first place.

Good Ole Boys go ice fishing
Next thing you know, Billy and Tommy are in the truck on their way to "Canader". After they crossed the border, and saw the sign saying "Entering Canada" they stopped at the first bait shop they could find. They asked for directions to the closest place they could do that there "Ahs fishin", and got directions. Then they got some beer (naturally). Then they asked if there was anything special they needed for "ahs fishin". The shop owner informed them they would need an ice pick, so they got one.
About two hours later, Tommy was back at the shop and said, "We're gone need anudder ten o'dem ahs picks." Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left.
In about an hour, he was back, saying "We're gone need all th'ahs picks y'all got."
This really made the shop owner curious. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"
"Not sa good," he said. "We ain't even got the boat in the water yet."

In my neck of the woods, the Dakotas and Minnesota, we are in the habit of telling stories about Norwegians.
Ole and Lars had gone fishing and the two of them were sitting in the boat when Lars felt an urge to light up and smoke a cigarrette. He asked Ole if he had a lighter or a book of matches on hand and Ole reaches into his tackle box and he pulls out this huge Bic lighter, the thing is a foot long!
Lars says to Ole, yesus, Ole, where da heck did ya get that huge Bic lighter? I've never seen a monster like dat before!!
Ole responds by saying, I've got a genie in my tool box. Go ahead and rub my tool box's lid and maybe he vil come out and grant you a vish.
Lars rubs the lid of Ole's tool box and "POOF", a genie appeared from out of nowhere. The genie says to Lars, "I will grant you one wish, so wish for anything you want." Lars goes "Oh boy!!" "Genie, I vish for a million bucks!" The genie says to him, you've got it, your wish is my command!" And in an instant the sky above Lars and Ole is blackened with hundreds of thousands of mallard ducks.
Lars looks at Ole with a disgusted look on his face and says, "Hey Ole, I tink your stupid genie is a little hard of hearing!" Ole's response was, "Vell Yeah, how do you tink I got dis foot long Bic?!"

Nope. In criminal terms that is a continuing single transaction provided everyone was present when it occurred.

A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns,unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.
"House," in French, is feminine-"la maison." "Pencil," in French, is masculine-"le crayon."
One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?"
The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary.So for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender, and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.
Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The men's group decided that computers should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), 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;4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("le computer"), 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;4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"
So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I smoke while I pray?"
The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion."
Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.
Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."
And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke?"
To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to."
**********Moral of the story is... the reply you get depends on the question you ask.**********
