A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.

A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file.

The woman couldn't stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss", I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My husband's."

"What happened to him?"

The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."

She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"

The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."

A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.

"Can I borrow the dog?"

"Get in line."

A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane.


After a while the priest turns to the Rabbi and asks, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"

The rabbi responds, "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs."

The priest then asks, "Have you ever eaten pork?"

To which the Rabbi replies, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted pork." The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the Rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?"

The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."

The Rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?" The priest replied, "Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."

The Rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, "Beats the heck out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother. 

"Well," said her mother, "So, how was the honeymoon?"

"Oh, Mama," she replied, "The honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic..." Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, Mama, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language -- things I'd never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! I've gotta come home, Please Mama!"

"Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "Calm down! You need to stay with your husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?"

"Please don't make me tell you, Mama," wept the daughter. "I'm so embarrassed. They're just too awful! Come get me, please!"

"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother these horrible 4-letter words!"
Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama..., he used words like: cook, wash, iron & dust..."

Revised Standard Digital Version of the Birds and Bees
           

A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?" 

"Well,” said the dad, “I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!  Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room.  Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. 
We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to do a download from my hard drive.  As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall. Since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little pop-up appeared and said, ‘You've Got Male’."

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo
with the other.  He says to the waiter,

"Want coffee."

The waiter says, "Sure, Chief, coming right up."

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.  The Indian drinks the coffee down
in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of
the animal to splatter everywhere, then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns.  He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling
another male buffalo with the other.  He walks up to the counter and says to
the waiter, "Want coffee".

The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto!  We're still cleaning up your mess from
yesterday.  What was that all about, anyway?"

The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Training for position in United States
Congress:  Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave big mess for others to
clean up."

At the risk of being politically incorrect.....

A Texas Panhandle rancher and his wife were bickering while holidaying in Paris, France.

They were still hardly speaking to each other after being seated in a four-star French restaurant for dinner. When the waiter arrived the rancher said: "I'll have a big, thick porterhouse steak."

The waiter replied: "But Monsieur ... what about ze mad cow?"

To which the rancher replied, "She'll have a salad."

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed  little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque.  It was covered with names with small American flags mounted on either side of it.


The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the Pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Alex."


"Good morning, Pastor," he replied, still focused on the plaque.  "Pastor, what is this?" he asked.


The Pastor said, "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.  Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked, "Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"

Eddie had been suffering with excruciating headaches for several years. He finally decided to have a doctor check it out.

The doctor said, "Eddie, 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 on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Eddie was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife.

When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, 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 saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need - a newsuit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44long."

Eddie laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said. Eddie tried on the suit. It fit perfectly.

As Eddie admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Eddie thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Eddie and said, "Let see, 34 sleeve and 16-1/2 neck."

Eddie was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" Eddie tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly.

Eddie walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"

Eddie thought for a second and said, "Sure."

The salesman stepped back, eyed Eddie's waist and said, "Let's see...size 36."

Eddie laughed, "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

New suit = $400
New shirt =$ 36
New underwear = $6
Second opinion = PRICELESS

Five Surgeons are discussing the types of people they like to operate on.

The first surgeon says: "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second responds: "Yeah, but you should try electricians!  Everything inside them is color coded."

The third surgeon says: "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong.  Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the butt are interchangeable."

A duck walks into a convenience store and asks the clerk, "Got any grapes?"

The clerk says, "No, we don't carry grapes."

The duck comes in every day for the next four days and asks the same clerk, "Got any grapes?"

Each time the clerk becomes a little more agitated. Finally, on the sixth day, the duck comes and asks, "Got any grapes?"

The clerk yells at the duck, "Look. I've told you for five days that we don't carry grapes. The next time you walk in and ask for grapes, I'm going to nail your feet to the floor."

Next day the duck walks in and the clerk can't believe it. The duck asks, "Got any nails?"

The clerk is amazed and says, "No, we don't carry nails."

The duck says, "OK. Got any grapes then?

Cajun Fishing ...

A game warden in Southern Louisiana recently stopped a Cajun with two ice chests of fish, leaving a bayou well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Naw, ma' fren, I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Ya. Avery night I take dese here fish down to de bayou and let dem swim round for a while. I whistle and dey jump rat back into dese ice chests and I take dem back home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

The Cajun looked at the game warden for a moment and then said "It's de truth ma' fren, I can show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

The Cajun poured the fish into the bayou and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" said the Cajun.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH!"

"What fish?"

A truck driver is driving a truckload of penguins to the city zoo. Unfortunately, his truck breaks down, and it's going to take a while to repair. He sees another trucker and, desperate to get his job done, says "I'll give you $100 to take these penguins to the zoo." The second trucker agrees.

Later that day, the first trucker sees the second trucker walking along the street, followed by fifteen penguins in a long line. "Hey," says the first trucker, "You were supposed to take those penguins to the zoo!"

"I did," says the second trucker. "But there was still $50 left over, so now I'm taking them to a movie."

Why Computers Sometimes Crash!
By Dr. Seuss

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort,
and the access 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 icon puts 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 the cable on the table 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,
'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,
and the macro code instructions are causing unnecessary risk,
then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestured alluringly to the bartender who approached her immediately. She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers. As he did, she gently caressed his face.  "Are you the manager?" she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands.
 
"Actually, no," he replied.
 
"Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she said, running her hands beyond his face and into his hair.
 
"I'm afraid I can't," breathed the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?"
 
"Yes. I need for you to give him a message," she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender's lips and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.
 
"What should I tell him?" the bartender managed to say.
 
"Tell him," she whispered, "there's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room!"

I hadn't been to that thread for a while....it sure has deteriorated.   But reading it is sort of like seeing a traffic accident: you don't really want to look, but you can't help yourself.
