Extemp: Jokes

An engineer died and ended up in Hell. He was not pleased with the
level of comfort in Hell, and began to redesign and build
improvements. After a while, they had toilets that flush, air
conditioning, and escalators. Everyone grew very fond of him. One day
God called to Satan to mock him, "So, how's it going down there in
Hell?" Satan replied, "Hey, things are great. We've got air conditioning
and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this
engineer is going to come up with next."
God was surprised, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake.
He should never have gotten down there in the first place. Send him
back up here."
"No way," replied Satan. "I like having an engineer, and I'm keeping
him."
God threatened, "Send him back up here now or I'll sue!" Satan
laughed and answered, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to
get a lawyer?"
NASA was interviewing professionals to be sent to Mars. Only one could
go, and he couldn't return to Earth.
The first applicant, an engineer, was asked how much he wanted to be
paid for going. "A million dollars," he answered, "because I want to
donate it to MIT."
The next applicant, a doctor, was asked the same question. He asked
for two million dollars. "I want to give a million to my family", he
explained, "and leave the other million for the advancement of medical
research."
The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how much money he
wanted, He whispered in the interviewer's ear, "Three million dollars."
"Why so much more than the others?" the interviewer asked. The
lawyer replied, "If you give me $3 million, I'll give you $1 million, I'll
keep $1 million, and we'll send the engineer."
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. Shortly thereafter
God was in receipt of a notice to show cause why he shouldn't be cited
for failure to file an environmental impact statement. He was granted a
temporary planning permit for the project, but was stymied by a Cease
and Desist Order for the earthly part. At the hearing, God was asked
why he began his earthly project in the first place. He replied that he
just liked to be creative. Then God said, "Let there be light." Officials
immediately demanded to know how the light would be made. Would it
require strip mining? What about thermal pollution? God explained that
the light would come from a huge ball of fire, and provisional approval
was granted with the proviso that no smoke would result. The
authorities demanded the issuance of a building permit, and (to

conserve energy) required that the light be left off half the time. God
agreed, saying he would call the light "Day" and the darkness "Night."
Officials replied that they were only interested in protecting the
environment, not in semantics. God said, "Let the earth bring forth
green herb and such as many seed." The EPA agreed, so long as only
native seed was used. Then God said, "Let waters bring forth creeping
creatures having life; and the fowl that may fly over the earth."
Officials pointed out this would require approval from the Department
of Game coordinated with the Heavenly Wildlife Federation and the
Audubongelic Society. Everything went along smoothly until God
declared that he intended to complete the project in six days. Officials
informed God it would take at least 200 days to review his many
waiver applications and environmental impact statements. After that
there would have to be a public hearing, and then there would be a 1012 month probationary period before.... At this point, God created Hell.
Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Laden, and Uncle Sam are out
walking one day. They come across a lantern and a genie pops out of
it. "I'll give each of you one wish, that's 3 wishes total" says the genie.
The Canadian says, "I'm a farmer, my dad was a farmer and my son
also will farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada". With a
blink of the genies eye, poof, the land in Canada was forever made
fertile for farming. Osama Bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a
wall around Afghanistan so no infidels, Jews or Americans can come
into our precious state." Again with a blink of the genies eye, poof,
there was a huge wall around Afghanistan. Uncle Sam asks, "I'm very
curious, please tell me more about this wall." The genie explains, "well,
it's about 15,000 feet high 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the
country, nothing can get in or out it." Uncle Sam says, "Fill it with
water".
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle
of a desert. Congress said,"Someone may steal from it at night." So
they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said,"How does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two
people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time
studies. Then Congress said,"How will we know the night watchman is
doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control
department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to
write the reports. Then Congress said,"How are these people going to
get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a
payroll officer, then hired two people. Then Congress said,"Who will be
accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative
section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant
Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary. Then Congress said,"We

have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000
over budget, we must cutback overall cost." So they laid off the night
watchman.
Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers
are. The first one says:"Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an
arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow". The
second one says:"Ha! You think that's fast! My father is a hunter. He
can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet". The third one listens
to the other two and shakes his head. He then says:"You two know
nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant. He stops working at
4:30 and he is home by 3:45"!!
A Guy walks into a store. He sees three brains on display. One is a
Libertarian Brain, priced at $250. The second is a Democrat Brain,
priced at $275. The third is a Republican Brain, priced at $5,000,000.
The Guy asks the sales clerk,"Man, why does the Republican brain cost
so much more than the other two?" Clerk replies,"Well, sir, that brain
has never been used.
The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the
best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a
test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and has each of them try to
catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the
forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three
months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not
exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the
forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no
apologies. The rabbit had it coming. The LAPD goes in. They come out
two hours later with a badly beaten raccoon. The raccoon is yelling:
"Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
A few day's after George W. Bush's inauguration, a man came up to the
uniformed Marine on duty at the White House and said "I'd like to see
President Clinton. The Marine politely answered "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no
longer president." The man said, "Oh, O.K." and walked away. The next
day the Marine was again on duty and the same man approached and
again asked to see President Clinton. The Marine again answered, "Sir,
Mr. Clinton is no longer president." Again the man answered, "Oh, O.K."
and walked away. The next day the same man approached the same
Marine and again asked to see President Clinton. The Marine, a little
annoyed, said "Sir, I've told you, Mr. Clinton is no longer president.
Don't you understand that?" "Yes, I do" said the man, "But I just enjoy
hearing it." The Marine smiled and said, "See you tomorrow"
Four boys were fishing. As their boat rounded a point on the lake, they

saw a man thrashing in the water. With no hesitation, they jumped into
the water and saved him. It was not until they pulled him to shore that
they noticed the man they had saved was President George Bush, who
had slipped away from the Secret Service for a swim. When President
Bush caught his breath, he thanked the two boys and offered them
anything they wanted in return for saving his life. The first boy thought
about it for a while and finally answered. "I would like a presidential
appointment to West Point so I can serve my country." The next two
thought that was a great idea, but one said he had always wanted to
be a pilot so he would rather attend the Air Force Academy. The third
boy chose the Naval Academy. The president turned to the fourth boy,
who was still thinking. Finally he answered, "Mr. President, I would like
a burial with honors at Arlington National Cemetery" The president was
shocked and asked the boy why he would make such a request at his
young age. The boy replied "Because when my father finds out I saved
you, he is going to kill me!"
A seedy-looking man was sitting in the first row at a town meeting,
heckling the mayor as he delivered a lengthy speech. Finally the mayor
pointed to the heckler and said, "Will that gentleman who differs with
me please stand up and tell the audience what he has ever done for
the good of the city?" "Well, Mr. Mayor," the man said in a firm voice. "I
voted against you in the last election."
An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents. The
parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide
about his future career. They decided to do a small test. They took a
ten- dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey, and put them on the
front hall table, and hid, pretending they're not home. The father's plan
was: "If our son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he takes
the bible, he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm
afraid our son will be a drunkard." So, the parents waited nervously,
hiding in the nearby closet. Peeping through the keyhole they saw their
son arrive. The son saw the note they had left. Then, he took the 10dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket. After
that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took it. Then, he grabbed
the bottle, opened it and took a whiff, to get assured of the quality.
Then he left for his room, carrying all the three items. The father
slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn. Our son is going to be a
politician!"
It was election time, again. So, a politician decided to go out to the
local reservation to gather support from the Native Americans. They
were all assembled in the Council Hall to hear the speech. The
politician had worked up to his finale, and the crowd was getting more
and more excited. "I promise better education opportunities for Native

Americans!" The crowd went wild, shouting "Hoya! Hoya!" The

politician was a bit puzzled by the native word, but was encouraged by
their enthusiasm. "I promise gambling reforms to allow a Casino on the
Reservation!" "Hoya! Hoya!" cried the crowd, stomping their feet. "I
promise more social reforms and job opportunities for Native
Americans!" The crowd reached a frenzied pitch shouting "Hoya! Hoya!
Hoya!" After the speech, the politician was touring the Reservation,
and saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch,
and knew a bit about cattle, he asked the Chief if he could get closer to
take a look at the cattle. "Sure," the Chief said, "but be careful not to
step in the hoya."
A turkey was standing in a field chatting to a bull. "I would love to be
able to get to the top of yonder tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't
got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my
droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients." The turkey
pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating
some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth
night he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Whereupon he was
spotted by a farmer who dashed into the farmhouse, emerged with a
shotgun, and shot the turkey right out of the tree. Moral of the Story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
There once was a happy little fly buzzing around a barn one day when
she happened upon a large pile of fresh cow manure. Since it had been
hours since her last meal and she was feeling hunger pangs, she flew
down to the irresistible delicacy and began to munch out. She ate and
ate and then she ate some more !!! Finally, she decided she'd had
plenty. She washed her face with her tiny front legs, belched a few
times, then attempted to fly away. But alas she had pigged out far too
much and could not get off the ground. She looked around wondering
what to do about this unpleasant situation when she spotted a
pitchfork leaning upright against the barn wall. She'd found a solution!!
She realized if she could just become airborne she'd be able to fly. So,
she, painstakingly, climbed to the top of the handle. Once there, she
took a deep breath, spread her tiny fly wings, and leaped confidently
into the air. She dropped like a rock and splattered all over the floor.
Moral of the Story: "Never fly off the handle when you know you're full
of crap."
A priest was driving along and saw nun on the side of the road. He
stopped and offered her a lift which she accepted. She got in and
crossed her legs, forcing the habit to open and reveal a leg. The priest
looks and nearly has an accident, and after changing gear lets his hand
slide up her leg. She immediately says, "Father, remember Psalm 129".

The priest says sorry and removes his hand but is unable to remove his
eyes from her leg. Further on when he changes gear and has ogled at
her leg for the zillionth time he lets the hand slide up the leg again.
The Nun once again says, "Father remember Psalm 129". Arriving at
the convent the nun gets out and the priest goes on his way. Once he
arrives at his church he rushes to the bible and looks up Psalm 129 and
it said, "GO FORTH AND SEEK, FURTHER UP YOU WILL FIND GLORY"
Moral of the Story: In your job should always be well informed or you
may miss a great opportunity.
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw
the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day
long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the
ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the Story: To be sitting and
doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Einstein, Casals, Picasso, and GW bush die and go to heaven. St. Peter
is waiting for them, and requests identification. Einstein, who is first in
line, says "I don't have any ID, but I can explain the equivalence of
matter and energy." He is given a blackboard and proceeds to give an
eloquent explanation of one of his most famous theories.
"Only Einstein himself could explain this so well," says St. Peter.
"Step right in, professor. Next?"
Then Casals, who is next in line, says "I don't have any ID, but I can
play my cello to prove who I am." He is given a cello and plays the
most beautiful music imaginable.
"There's no question, you must be Casals," says St. Peter. "Next?"
Picasso steps to the gate. "I don't have any ID, but I can paint a
picture to prove who I am." He is given some brushes and paints a
spectacular picture.
"Okay, you're Picasso. Go right ahead," says St. Peter. "Next?"
"I'm George W. Bush," says the former president, "but I don't have any
ID. How can I prove who I am?"
"Well," says St. Peter. "Einstein was just here, and he discussed some
of this theories. Then there was Casals , who played the cello for us.
Then Picasso came, and he painted a picture. Can you do anything like
that?"
"Who are Einstein, Casals, and Picasso?" asks Eisenhower. St. Peter
looks at him and says,"Mr. President, go right in."
Why is it that in the US, we punish people for their vices? Isnt the
punishment inherent in the vice itself. You smoke, you get cancer. You
drink too much, you wake up hung over. You have unprotected sex you
get marriage. Punishment is natural.
Thats why drugs should be legal. If passing out on a park bench in

winter because youre too stoned to use your keys isnt punishment
enough.Besides, when you put them in jail, youre only giving them a
warm place to stay.
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English,"
he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages,
though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However,
there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room observed, "Yeah, right."
A police officer stops a driver and says, "Not only have you been
driving too fast, you've been overtaking where it was not allowed. Your
lights don't work, your tires all completely worn out... This is surely
going to cost you a lot. What's your name ?"
"Schtrathewisizeski Vocgefastilolngchilnic."
After hesitating a bit, the officer replies with a stern look on his face,
handing back his driver's license, "OK, let this be your last warning.
Don't let me catch you doing this again."
A visitor from Netherlands was explaining the colors of his country's
flag to his American host, "Our flag symbolizes our taxes. We get red
when we talk about them, white when we see our tax bills and blue
after paying them." The American host replied, "It's the same here,
only we also see stars."
British archaeologists find several pieces of copper wire and they
estimate the age to be about 25,000 years old. The British government
proudly claims that the English had telephones a long long time ago. At
around the same time, German Archaeologists find glass strands and
they announce that ancient Germany was wired by fiber optic
networks. The next month, the French Minister of Culture and
Language announces, "Well, we dug and dug and found nothing.
Therefore, we are pleased to conclude that ancient French used cellular
phones, proving once again their superiority over their counterparts
who used seemingly primitive technologies."
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor
says, "Okay, Mrs. Jones, what's the problem?" The mother says, "It's
my daughter Heather. She keeps getting these cravings, she's putting
on weight, and is sick most mornings." He examines Heather, then
turns to the mother and says, "Well, I don't know how to tell you this,
ma'am, but your dear Heather is about 4 months into it." The mother
says, "Pregnant?! She can't be, she has never ever been left alone with
a man! Have you, Heather baby?" Heather is indignant; she replies
furiously, "Absolutely not! I've never even kissed a man, mama!" The
doctor walked over to the window and just stares out it. About five

minutes pass and finally the mother says, "Is there something wrong
out there, doctor?" The doctor replies, "No, not really, it's just that the
last time anything like this happened, we are told a star appeared in
the east and three wise men came over the hill. I'll be darned if I'm
going to miss it this time!"
A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The
audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed
himself to do the same tricks over and over again. There was only one
problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to
understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood he
started shouting in the middle of the show: "Look, it's not the same
hat" "Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table" "Hey, why are all
the cards the Ace of Spades ?" The magician was furious but couldn't
do anything; it was, after all, the captain's parrot. One day the ship had
an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood
in the middle of the ocean with -- who else? -- the parrot. They stared
at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a
day and another and another. After a week the parrot said: "OK, I give
up. Where's the boat?"
The man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things around
the house that he used to do. When the examination was complete, he
said, "Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what is wrong
with me."
"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just lazy."
"Okay," said the man. "Now give me the medical term so I can tell my
wife."
Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and discussing their work.
The first one said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on.
Everything inside them is numbered." "I think librarians are the
easiest," said the second. "When you open them up, all their organs
are arranged alphabetically." The third surgeon said, "I prefer to
operate on electricians. Their organs are color-coded." "You're all
wrong," said, the fourth. "Lawyers are easiest. They're heartless,
spineless, gutless, and their heads and asses are interchangeable."
President Clinton looks up from his desk in the Oval Office to see one of
his aides nervously approach him. "What is it?" yells the President. "It's
this abortion bill, Mr. President. What do you want to do about it?" the
aide asks. "Just go ahead and pay it." responds the President.
Canada recently passed a law which puts a skull and crossbones
symbol on a pack of cigarettes to signify its harmful effects. In light of
this, people in the US are raising the question of whether the US should

put the symbol of a happy face on packages of medical marijuana.

A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks, but nothing
happened. Then he decided to write a letter to the Lord requesting the
$100.
When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to the Lord,
USA, they decided to send it to the President.
The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he
instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5 bill.
The little boy was delighted with the $5 and sat down to write a thankyou note to the Lord, which read:
Dear Lord,
Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed
that for some reason you had to send it through Washington DC and,
as usual, those jerks deducted $95
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad says, "Well
son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the bread-winner of the
family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of
the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of
your needs, so we'll call you People.
The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby
brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if
makes sense." So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what
Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he
gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his
diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother
sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room.
Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in
bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next
morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the
concept of politics now." The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your
own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies,
"Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government
is sound asleep, the People gets ignored and the Future is in deep
shit."

Four men were bragging about how smart their dogs are. The first man
was an
Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a
Chemist, the fourth was a Government Worker.
To show off, the Engineer called to his dog.
"T-Square, do your stuff."
T- square trotted over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and
promptly drew a circle, a square and a triangle.
Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant said his
dog could do better.
He called his dog and said, "Slide Rule, do your stuff."
Slide Rule went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies.
He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each.
Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his dog could do
better.
He called his dog and said, "Measure, do your stuff."
Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got
a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces
without spilling a drop.
Everyone agreed that was good.
Then the three men turned to the Government Worker and said, "What
can your dog do?"
The Government Worker called to his dog and said, "Coffee Break, do
your stuff."
Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk,
dumped on the paper, sexually assaulted the other three dogs, claimed
he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe
working conditions, put in for Worker's Compensation and went home
on sick leave.
Seeing the brand new Porsche in the dealership windows Bill walks in,
opens the door, sits in the car, adjust the mirrors and sear, sits back
and closes his eyes and begins to grins widely. After a few seconds, a
salesman, walks up.
I see your thinking about buying this car. He says
Oh Im definitely buying this car, says Bill. But Im thinking about
women.
The coroner is tasked to examine a body that just came in. He thinks it
might have been have been a man named George he met once but he

body is so badly so he calls in Georges two best friends to see if they

can help in the ID. Al, the first friend walks in and says, hes pretty
badly burned alright. Roll him over. Staring at the dead mans behind,
al announces confidently, nope, thats not George. Thinking it kind of
a strange way to deny the ID, the coroner brings in the second friend
Joe, who agrees, yup hes pretty badly burned but roll him over.
Again staring at the dead mans behind the frined confidently
announces that it is not George. How do you know that its not
George? the still bewildered coroner asks. Poor George had two
assholes. Said Joe. What? How could he have two assholes? asked
the shocked coroner. Everybody knows George has two assholes.
Every time the three of us go out, everyone says, oh look, there goes
George and those two assholes.
California issued another power alert today. And things are getting

At a recent meeting between Pres. Bush and the Pope, a short hour
long session got stretched to two days by complications in their
discussion. After two days a weary Bush stood in from of the press and
announced to the press that the meeting was a huge success with him
and the Pope agreeing on 80% of the material. A few minute later, a
tired and frustrate Pope addressed the press with a sad demeanor
declaring the meeting a huge failure. A reporter asked why it was that
the meeting was a success if he and the Pres. agreed on 80% of the
material and the Pope replied, "Because we were talking about the 10
Commandments.

A kid comes home from school with a writing assignment. He asks his
father for help. "Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential
and reality?"
His father looks up, thoughtfully, and then says, "I'll demonstrate. Go
ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million
dollars. Then go ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a
million dollars. Then come back and tell me what you've learned."
The kid is puzzled, but decides to ask his mother. "Mom, if someone
gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Robert Redford?"
"Don't tell your father, but yes, I would."
He then goes to his sister's room. "Sis, if someone gave you a million
dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?"
She replies, "Omigod! Definitely!"
The kid goes back to his father. "Dad, I think I've figured it out.
Potentially, we are sitting on two million bucks, but in reality, we are
living with two easy women."

There are a lot of video games. There are a lot of Jewish actors. They
stare in a lot of movies based on video games. There is only one Jewish
video game. Its called Quicken.
There was an old woman who was walking down the street one windy
day. As each gust of wind would come, her skirt would fly up exposing,
everything it covered. After this happened a few times, a young man
walking behind her sheepishly asked,
Maam, why dont you try to hold down your skirt as you walk so the
gusts of wind dont lift it up and, well. Expose you?
Sonny, she said sternly, Everything below this skirt is 82 years old,
this hat on my head is brand new.
Dry cleaning is a scam, you cannot clean my dry because I do not own
one, nor can you clean with dry since it is not really a think. I cant
walk in and say Heres my coat I would like it cleaned with only 100%
pure organic dry please. Doesnt happen. Worse yet, if I bring in a
shirt caked with mud and say Here you go I want this shirt spotless
and you cant use any liquids. What are they going to do, blow on it
real hard? The whole bit is a sham to sell wire hangers and plastic
wrap.
Three convicts are on their way to jail and are allowed one item to pas
time while incarcerated. The first prisoner turns to the second and
asks, So what did you bring?
I brought paints. Claims the first one. Ill be the Grandma Moses of

jail and Ill paint anything I can get my hands on. How bout you?
I brought a deck of cards. The first one replies. I can play any
number of games, poker, solitaire, blackjack, gin, whatever.
The third convict, seeing the other two, begins to smile to himself. Thje
other two, taking notice, ask him, Why are you so smug, what did you
bring?
I brought a helmet here. he says patting the box
Puzzled, the other two ask what he intends to do with it
Well, he says, according to the box, I can go bike riding, skydiving,
rollerblading A mans wife sent him out one day to buy a ham. Upon his return she
remarked, Oh, you forgot to cut the end of the ham off.
Why would I want to cut off the end of a ham? asked the man.
I dont know, responded, the wife, Its just something I learned from
my mother. The next day while visiting his mother in law, the man
asked why she cuts off the end of ham.
Oh, she replied, I dont know I guess its just something I learned from
my mother.
More curious now, the man decided to call up the grandmother long
distance, and asked her why she cuts off the end of a ham. Well, she
replied, Its really very simple, my oven is too small to cook the whole
ham.
We often do things out of simple convention, rather than doing things
out of purpose and reason.
All in all, the White House hasnt changed all that much since GW Bush
took office. The only real difference is that we went from a President
that embarrassed his daughter to daughters who embarrassed the
President.
A manager is having an affair with his secretary. One night the man
wakes up in his mistresses bed and realizes he is very late, he should
have been home hours ago. "quick" he says, waking up the mistress,
"take my shoes and walk around in the yard with them." He said. Not
understanding, the woman complied anyway, as the man hopped into
the shower. He gets out of the shower, quickly dresses and goes home.
As he reaches the doorway, he is greeted by his angry wife. "Where
have you been?" she yells at him. "Do you have any idea what time it
is?"
"I can't lie to you dear, I've been having an affair with my secretary.
After making passionate love to her, I fell asleep and only woke up
twenty minutes ago." the husband replies sorrowful.
"Don't you lie to me you jerk," the woman screams. "I see your shoes,
you've been golfing again!"

In today's vibrant economy, even previously undesirable traits like

being rude and obnoxious, can lead to successful careers.
Telemarketing for example, or Sunday morning Political Pundit.
The Federal Government rarely makes any sense. Take for example,
the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service. Doesn't the uniform sort
of give away the secret? What makes even less sense is that they drive
around in white cars with little shield logos painted on the side. You
know, even illiterate criminals know a white car with a shield on the
side means "cop."
Political correctness remains a hot topic today, though to be honest, I
don't understand it at all. I mean, politics is one of the least respected
professions in the whole world, so the idea that anything could be
correct with it seems...well...incorrect. Now political suicide or putting
them all in political asylum seems to be a better goal.
While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 90-year-old man, a doctor
and the old man were discussing Bush's health care reform ideas. The
old man said, "Well, ya know, old Bush is a post turtle."
So, not knowing what he meant the doctor asked him what a "post
turtle" was.
He said, "When your driving down a country road, and you come across
a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle. You
know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't
get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the
poor thing down."
George W. and Laura are at a restaurant. The waiter tells them
tonight's specials are chicken and fish.
"The chicken sounds good; I'll have that," Laura says.
The waiter nods. "And the vegetable?" he asks.
"Oh, he'll have the fish," Laura replies.
A woman drove a mini-van filled with a dozen screaming kids through
the mall parking lot, looking for a space. Frazzled, she coasted through
a stop sign. "Hey, lady, have you forgotten how to stop?" yelled an
irate man. She rolled down her window and yelled back, "What makes
you think these are all mine ?"
A man walks into a lawyer's office and asks how much the barrister's
rates are.
The lawyer says fifty dollars for three questions.
The man asks, "Isn't that awfully expensive"
"Yes," the lawyer replies, "what's your third question?"

A drunk was driving through town, weaving violently all over the road,
when a cop finally pulled him over.
"Where have you been?" asked the cop.
"At the pub," slurred the drunk.
"Well, it looks to me like you've had quite a few," the cop snapped.
"I guess I did," said the drunk with a smirk.
"Are you aware that your wife fell out of the car a few intersections
back?" the cop asked sternly.
"Thank goodness," sighed the drunk. "I thought I had gone deaf!"
A White House press release noted that during his last physical, Pres.
Bush measured his resting heart rate at 43 beats per minute. Not only
does this make him the healthiest Pres. to date, it also marks the first
time a Presidents resting heart rate equals his IQ
A Senator was walking doen Pennsylvania Ave. one day when he
noticed an old bottle lying on the sidewalk. Wanting to be a
conservationaist conservative he picked up the bottle and wiped it off.
Suddenly a magic genie appeared.
Thank you for setting me free. In return for my freedom i shall grant
you one wish.
So the Senator thought a while and finally he said, alright, Ive got it,
work in the Senate ges me so wound up I really need a vacation. The
only problem is I have a fear of flying and boats take too long. Could
you build me a bridge to _____(insert warm and sunny place here, by
default I would say Hawaii or Grand Cayman, but for a Cuba question if
may be good to improvise)______.
He, he, he.....uuuummmmm, said the genie, see, heres the thing.
Its been about 5,000 years and Im kind of rusty, could we maybe try
somethign a little easier here?
okay, replied the Senator, how about ___(insert topic here, a
balanced budget, a bi-partisan congress, a decent Pres., welfare
reform)_________
Right. The genie quickly responded, and how long was that bridge
again? (or if you like the other punchline is and would you like that
bridge with two lanes or four?)
Three Wannabe Detectives
A policeman was interrogating 3 blondes who were training to become
detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the
first blonde a picture for 5 second and then hides it. "This is your
suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he
only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the
picture shows his profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for

5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect,
how would you recognize him?"
The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be
too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?!? Of
course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of
his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third
blonde and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would
you recognize him?" He quickly adds"...think hard before giving me a
stupid answer."
he blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says,
"Hmm...the suspect wears contact lenses."
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't
know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an
interesting answer...wait here for a few minutes while I check his file
and I'll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his
office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a
beaming smile on his face.
"Wow! I can't believe it...it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear
contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute
observation?
"That's easy," the blonde replied. "He can't wear regular glasses
because he only has one eye and one ear."
HOW TO MESS WITH THE IRS!
(Internal Revenue Service, an agency of the government to whom
Americans pay taxes on their salary.)
--Always put staples in the right hand corner. Go ahead and put a down
the whole right side. The extractors who remove the mail from the
envelopes have to take out any staples in the right side.
--Never arrange paperwork in the right order, or even facing the right
way. Put a few upside down and backwards. That way they have to
remove all your staples rearrange your paperwork and re-staple it (on
the left side).
--Line the bottom of your envelope with elmer's glue and let it dry
before you put in your forms, so that the automated opener doesn't
open it and the extractor has to open it by hand.
--If your very unfortunate and have to pay taxes use a two or three
party check.
--On top of paying with a three party check pay one of the dollars you
owe in cash. When an extractor receives cash, no matter how small an
amount, he has to take it to a special desk and fill out of few nasty
forms.
--Write a little letter of appreciation. Any letter received has to read
and stamped regardless of what it is or what its on.

--Write your letter on something misshapen and unconventional. Like

on the back of a Kroger sack.
--When you mail it, mail it in a big envelope (even if its just a single EZi
form). Big envelopes have to be torn and sorted differently than
regular business size ones. An added bonus to the big envelope is that
they take priority over other mail, so the workers can hurry up and deal
with your mess.
--If you send 2 checks they'll have to staple your unsightly envelope to
your half destroyed form.
--Always put extra paper clips on your forms. Any foreign fasteners or
the like have to be removed and put away.
--Sign your name in ink on every page. Any signature has to verified
and then date stamped.
NOTE: These are just a few of the fun and exciting things you can do
with the man. These methods are only recommended when you owe
money
