''Add this up for me. A ton of sawdust, a ton of old newspaper, and a ton of fat. Now, have
you got all that in your head?''
''Yes.''
A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and on being told that there was a fortune in
horse racing, decided to purchase one and enter it in the races. However at the local auction, the
going price for horses was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured that
since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races. To his surprise, the donkey
came in third!
The next day the local paper carried this headline: PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS
The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race
again, and this time it won.
The paper read: PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the
preacher not to enter the donkey in another race.
The paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the preacher to get rid of
the donkey. The preacher decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The paper headline the next day read: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN
The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of
the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.00.
Next day the headline read : NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the
donkey, lead it to the plains where it could run wild and free. Next day,
the headline in the paper read : NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE
There were 10 Luos, three Luhyas, one Kisii, one Turkana…. But who remembers? After all it
happened more than a month ago, and life has to go on. We reacted with predictable shock and
indignation, even held an inter-denominational service at the site of the massacre and our
President flew in from abroad and promptly held a public rally on the very spot where 21
defenceless citizens had been hacked down on Bloody Sunday. But that is all distant memory
now. None of us approves of what Mungiki and Taliban did, but life has to go on, you see. But
what is even more shocking than the massacre in Kariobangi is the speed and finality with which
we have erased it from memory and moved on. We are a nation of forgetting and moving on. No
outrage seems to shake us into taking a stand and ensuring that it never happens again; no crime
against innocents, however vile, prompts us to meaningfully speak up for ‘the least of these.’ But
this is not about the victims of the Kariobangi mayhem. It is a call for some long-overdue soul-
searching that our country needs to do as a matter of great urgency before we can move on. For
you see, we have loved lies more than truth. We have embraced the lie of individual prosperity
and the lie of our tribal/racial identities. And we have invented and believed in the lie of our
greatness as a nation, while denying our state of seemingly terminal decay, or merely
complaining about it. Those of us in our late twenties/early thirties can recall when as children,
we started seeing for ourselves the creeping signs of decay – occasional press stories of
corruption, reports of the odd violent robbery. The attitude among adults at the time always
seemed to be, “Oh well, we have our problems, but we are not as bad as Uganda, or Nigeria,” or
“It’s all Moi’s fault, it’s all the Kalenjins’ fault…” The last refuge of a fading elite was to hack
back to a golden era that had been golden only for themselves. ‘The old days were better,” they
sighed with indignation. “When our people were the only ones in the civil service.” It is like
every blow that has been struck against this nation as a chance for us to recognise how far we
have fallen and to prompt us to repent and return to God just hardened our resolve to ‘cope’ to
‘adjust’ to ‘make do’. Doesn’t it sound uncannily similar to Jeremiah’s lament above? Resilience
is an admirable quality, but rebellion is an abomination to our God. And the line between the
twain can be very thin indeed. So you move to another suburb, or you send your children abroad
when the system crumbles, or you pay up the bribe and continue doing whatever it takes. You
refuse to see the kids on the street and roll up your window each time you approach the
streetlights. And they grow up and become menacing glue-sniffing teenagers. Still you ignore
them and soon they are hungry and angry adults with no options in life than to get together and
organise the next carjacking, the next bank robbery… then what do you do? You see if none of
us takes care of Little Mutua, as he looks through the glass of your firmly shut car window while
you study a billboards that reminds you to give your children a secure future and wish the lights
would turn green, all of us will have to take care of Big Mutua, a few years down the line by
putting more bars on our every window, driving with our car doors firmly locked and imposing a
curfew on ourselves in our city. But back to the present, and to you. You refuse to see the decay;
you refuse to ask yourself what YOU can do to change the situation. We were sent off to school
full of hope and excited at the possibilities that lay ahead, but our expectations were soon
crushed. Now we spend the rest of our lives making excuses why things cannot be done
differently or change effected quickly. We love the lie that things are not so bad, or that things
are bad and ‘someone’ is going to change them. We watch from a safe distance as people take
risks and fail, and we shrug internally and think, ‘at least that wasn’t me’. We acknowledge the
mess, but our reaction is to call up the university and join the Parallel Programme to enrol for
another degree, and hope that by the time we are through someone will have fixed this mess so
that we can get on with our lives. But alas, we’ve gotten ahead of ourselves with that very long
introduction. Let us start from the beginning: Our national anthem. Think of the exalted words of
that prayer that we sing so frequently if not fervently, exhorting God to visit our land. Do we
really mean what we sing, or do we merely mock God with a prayer we have no expectation of
seeing answered in our midst or any intention of working for its fulfilment in our time?
Justice be our shield and defender: We have asked for justice to be our shield and our defender
and done nothing to lift up this shield. The shield is supposed to prop itself up, somehow. We
want the government to crack down on this or that or the other, so long as none of us is hurt by
the crackdown. We do not lift up the shield for ourselves in our prayer for the nation, we do not
lift this shield for the widow, the orphan, the refugee, the religious minority, the kiosk owner
whose livelihood is destroyed before our very eyes, the thousands of people dying in prison, or
the people who are exploited by the labour system. So long as we can do what we want to or
need to do, then these other people just have to suck up their misfortunes. We hear about
different attacks on different people for different reasons, and we shrug our shoulders because
that is just the way these people are. We are convinced that it cannot be done, we are devoted to
making absolutely no sacrifices that are grounded in the bigger picture of this land created by
God whose blessings we are asking for in mock supplication. We counsel our children not to
‘waste’ their lives as teachers in schools, because there is no money in teaching and the quality
of education is so bad anyway. Of course once ‘someone’ fixes these things we’ll be fine, but
until then, we’ll just send them to private schools, or try to get them jobs somewhere else, or
whatever. We cope the best we can. Dwelling in unity? We want to dwell in unity, but do
nothing to build that unity. We must honestly ask ourselves how are we building that unity, in
big ways and in little ways? As families? As communities? As workers? There is little evidence
of unity-building. Instead we tear one another down so that we can be better than the other
person. In big things, in small things. We want this cake to be eaten, and to be eaten now; and if
at all possible, to be shared only among people who look like us and speak like us.
Peace, Liberty? We desire peace and liberty, but have not made any individual sacrifices
necessary to uphold this peace or to guard this liberty. Just think about it. What are we doing?
What do we desire above all else? Excellence or comfort? We have been unfaithful to God, we
have raised up a generation and taught it to crave ‘Western things’ that are synonymous with
comfort. We have given them nothing to safeguard, because we have made it clear by our lives
that there is nothing we consider ourselves to be guardians of. Our creed has been, ‘live your life,
do your best, and let someone else deal with the situation, whatever it is.’
Then the world starts crumbling around us; things that were unimaginable five years ago become
commonplace – gangs attacking and mutilating people in the city, car-jackings, murders, rape,
mayhem, cheating in exams, no water, no electricity, no roads, thousands of road deaths, rising
illiteracy, rising unemployment – and we are shocked. SHOCKED? So we pick ourselves up,
build higher walls around our houses, put glass on top of the concrete separating us from our
neighbours, try to avoid being in the city after a certain time and adjust to a new way of life.
Things are not so bad. Do your best, adjust. You woke up this morning, you went to work, you
did your thing. It is bad in some ways, but it is not so bad yet. Pray for God to send someone to
do something about this situation.
Plenty be found within our borders… We want plenty within our borders, but have no regard for
those lacking in our midst. So we hear about deaths and mayhem in Kariobangi, and thank God it
wasn’t us, and move on to the next thing. We call it a political conspiracy, we call it a conspiracy
by the landlords to raise rents, we watch the situation on TV from the comfort of our homes. And
we hope someone can come and deal with this. We are being crushed under the weight of
culpability in refusing to seek truth. But we harden ourselves a bit more and continue in our
ways.
Yet even civilizations and empires do not fall all at once. These things begin one person at a
time, in a fundamental and profound way. One person at a time, the spirit of this age is
consuming the lives of young men and women in this land. One person at a time, we are
allowing our inheritance to be taken from us. What are the dreams we have for this nation? What
is our role in fulfilling these dreams? What can we do? In a very real way, recording these
dreams, praying about them, preparing for them to come to pass, is something we need to do as a
church. These dreams are in every area of our lives – our families, our schools, our jobs, our
courts, and our communities. But first we need to seek His face, and be changed by Him,
recognizing that He is going to change us in order to use US. If we are to be called peacemakers,
then we have to be prepared to be making peace in the midst of war. Whatever it costs us, we
must gain understanding from Him. So prepare against all odds, pray against all odds, watch
against all odds, and wait against all odds. But we had better not be watching and waiting for the
deliverer who will fix everything for us. He has already come, He died and rose again. We are
watching and waiting for the fulfilment of the purposes God has for this nation through US. All
begins and ends with me and you. God did not send an angel to build the ark and then invite
Noah into it. Noah acted on this call, and built against all odds, for the day when rain would
come. And come it did. We cannot wait for another election, a new leader, a pack of ‘young
turks’, a new group of reformers and leaders and politicians to fix us. We are it. Your children
will grow up and their children after them in the world we are making for them today. And
although you are not the one who wielded the pangas that decapitated the 10 Luos, three Luhyas,
a Kisii and a Turkana, you are living and participating in a society so divided, so hardened, and
so filled with injustice that this was allowed to happen. So whether you like it or not, you are
implicated in these actions. They are both an indictment and a call to repentance. But above all,
they are a call to arms. Amkeni ndugu zetu!
He sat straight in the front row because he wanted to do the best job possible. The professor
announced that the test would be to look at each of the birds' legs and give the common name,
habitat, genus and species.
The student looked at each of the birds' legs. They all looked the same to him. He began to get
upset. He had stayed up all night studying and now had to identify birds by their legs. The more
he thought about it the madder he got.
Finally he could stand it no longer. He went up to the professor's desk and said, "What a stupid
test! How could anyone tell the difference between birds by looking at their legs?" With that the
student threw his test on the professor's desk and walked to the door.
The professor was surprised. The class was so big that he didn't know every student's name so as
the student reached the door the professor called, "Mister, what's your name?"
The enraged student pulled up his pant legs and said, "You tell me buddy! You tell me!"
NEW KANU
Farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new
rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."
The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what
it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"
The young rooster says, "Beat it! you are washed up and I am taking over."
The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you three times around the
farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."
The young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just to be fair I will
give you a head start."
The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running
after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse the second time and the young rooster
has closed the gap. He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters
running by. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM! He blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer
sadly shakes his head and says, "Darn.... third gay rooster I bought this month."
Moral of this story... Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age and treachery will always overcome
youth and skill!

Little Ali was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything: tutors, mentors. In
short, everything they could think of.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Ali down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school.
After the first day, little Ali came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss
his mother hello.
Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all
over the room and little Ali was hard at work. Day after day the mother tried to understand what
made all the difference.
Finally, little Ali brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table and went up to his
room and hit the books. Mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Ali got an A in math.
She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said: "Son, what was it????
Was it the nuns ??"
Little Ali looked at her and shook his head, no.
"Well, then," she replied, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms????
WHHHHAAAATTTT was it ????"
Little Ali looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to
the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."
A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the
class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with
rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar
lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the
students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognise that this is your life.
"The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children -
things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff." "If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no
room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and
energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time
to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work,
clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal."
"Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just
sand."
But then... A student then took the jar which the other students and the professor agreed was full,
and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within
the jar making the jar truly full.
Which proves: that no matter how full your life is, there is always room for a beer.
Have a laugh!
Sunning in the Nude
A young husband and wife were sunning on a nude beach when a wasp buzzed into the woman's
vagina. The husband covered her with a coat, pulled on his shorts, carried her to the car and
made a dash to the hospital.
After examining her, the doctor explained that the wasp was too far in to be reached with
forceps.
He suggested the husband try to entice it out by putting honey on his penis, penetrating her and
withdrawing as soon as he felt the wasp. The man agreed to try, but because he was so nervous,
he couldn't rise to the occasion.
"If neither of you objects," the medic said, "I could give it a try."
Under the circumstances, both agreed. The doctor quickly undressed, slathered on some honey
and mounted the woman. The husband watched with increasing alarm as the doctor's thrusts
continued for several long minutes.
"Hey, What the hell is happening?"
"Change of plans," the physician panted. "I'm going to drown the little bastard!"
Pray and be prepared for a shock when you read it.
This story is extremely sad. Please pass it on after reading it. Everyone needs to know about this.
My sister's co-worker has a sister in Texas who, with her husband, was planning a weekend trip
across the Mexican border for a shopping spree. At the last minute their baby sitter cancelled, so
they had to bring along their two-year-old son with them. They had been across the border for
about an hour when the baby got free and ran around the corner. The mother went chasing but
the boy had disappeared. The mother found a police officer who told her to go to the gate and
wait. Not really understanding the instructions, she did as she was told. About 45 minutes later, a
man approached the border carrying the boy. The mother ran to him, grateful that he had been
found. When the man realised it was the boy's mother, he dropped the boy and ran. The police
were waiting and got him. The boy was dead. In the (less than) 45 minutes he was missing, he
was cut open, ALL of his insides removed and his body cavity stuffed with COCAINE. The man
was going to carry him across the border as if he were asleep. A two-year-old boy, dead,
discarded as if he were a piece of trash for somebody's cocaine. If this story
can get out and change one person's mind about what drugs mean to them, we are helping. Please
send this E-mail to as many people as you can. If you have a home PC, send it out there, too.
Let's hope and pray it changes a lot of minds. The saddest thing about the whole situation is that
those persons who suffer are innocent and people we love... God Bless you in this united effort to
spread the word. You just might save a life!
Someone passed this on to me and I thought we all needed reminding about how far we've come.
Quite a sobering thought albeit a hilarious one!
Did you have a teacher in High School or Primary School who said things you'd want to share,

"I remember this teacher who saw me wearing some particularly short

This one holds the record for this teacher. This is not fiction.

An over-teased MALE Maths teacher in Moi Girls got really angry and shouted (in a typical
Meru accent),
"Ngals, if nyu ndon't mbehave nyourselves, I'll nget 'olnd of nyou, Ndestroy nyou, (summoning
an almighty frown) and make nyu miss nyour PERIONDS"
Of course we all knew he meant our lessons but we were hot-blooded adolescent NGELS and
read far too much into it. The whooping and shouting that followed got the whole class into
trouble with the head. AND, needless to say, we did miss our PERIOND!
A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends. Every day they would
sit together to eat their lunch. They discovered that they both brought chicken sandwiches every
day! This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades until one day he noticed that her
sandwich wasn't a chicken sandwich. He said, "Hey, how come you're not eating chicken, don't
you like it anymore?" She said"
I love it but I have to stop eating it" "Why" he said. She pointed to her lap and said "Cause I'm
starting to grow little feathers down there!" "Let me see" he said. "Okay" and she pulled up her
skirt, he looked and said, "That's right you are, better not eat any more chicken." He kept eating
his chicken sandwiches until one day he brought peanut butter. He said to the little girl, "I have
to stop eating chicken sandwiches, I'm starting to get feathers down there too." She asked if she
could look so he pulled down his pants for her. She said "Oh, my God, it's too late for you,
you've already got the neck and gizzard!!"
Harambee Stars
A kenyan Mama and Papa were splitting up, and their Son had to decide who he was going to
live with.
So, the judge wanted to talk to the Son to see what he thought about living with either of his
parents. When he asked the Boy about living with his father, the boy said "No, I can't live with
my Papa, he beats me terribly."
"OK," said the judge, "then you want to live with your mother, right?"
"No way!" replied the Boy, "She beats me worse than Dad does."
The judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know what to do.
"Well, you have to live with someone, so is there any relatives you would like to stay with?"
asked the judge.
"You're sure they will treat you well and won't beat you?" asked the judge.
"Definitely," said the Boy, "Harambee Stars Hardly beat anybody this days anyway."
A teacher asks her class if anyone could use the word 'indefinitely' in a sentence.
Little Johnny raises his hand at the back of the class.
But the teacher knows he's a trouble maker and that he doesn't know the answer, so she calls on
Jim.
Jim replies, "Due to the weather, school was cancelled indefinitely."
"Good" the teacher replies. "What about you Jenny?"
Jenny says, "Since the bus broke down, transportation has been stopped indefinitely."
The teacher then says that the sentence was too much like the other one, and asks if anyone can
use it in a different way. So there's Little Johnny waving his hand again. And the teacher thinks...
(Maybe he really does know the answer), so she calls on him. Johnny stands up and says, "As I
felt my balls slap against her ass, I knew that I was in definitely!"

London I wish to invitation you Mr. Queen, to become home to Uganda so that we can also

But next time I shall make a long call on you to last the whole moon completely."
Thank you very much to allow me to undress you completely before these extinguished ladies

words, I thank you sir."

It's your first time. As you lie back your muscles tighten. You put him off for a while searching
for an excuse, but he refuses to be swayed as he approaches you. He asks if you're afraid and you
shake your head bravely. He has had more experience, but it's the first time his finger has found
the right place.
He probes deeply and you shiver; your body tenses; but he's gentle like he promised he'd be. He
looks deeply within your eyes and tells you to trust him - he's done this many times before. His
cool smile relaxed you and you open wider to give him more room for an easy entrance.
You begin to plead and beg him to hurry, but he slowly takes his time, wanting to cause you as
little pain as possible. As he presses closer, going deeper, you feel the tissue give way, pain
surges throughout your body and you feel the slight trickle of blood as he continues.
He looks at you concerned and asks you if it's too painful. Your eyes are filled with tears but you
shake your head and nod for him to go on. He begins moving in and out with skill but you are
now too numb to feel him within you. After a few frenzied moments, you feel something
bursting within you and he pulls it out of you, you lay panting, glad to have it over. He looks at
you and smiling warmly, tells you, with a chuckle; that you have been his most stubborn yet
most rewarding experience. You smile and thank your dentist.
After all, it was your first time to have a tooth pulled. Naughty, Naughty! Naughty!! What were
you thinking?

Spaghetti
A doctor was having an affair with his Italian-born nurse. Eventually, she became pregnant by
him. Not wanting his wife to find out, he gave the nurse some money and asked her to go to Italy
and have the baby there. "But how will I let you know when the baby is born?" she asked.
He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of all the
child's expenses."
Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy. Six months went by
and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office, "Dear, you received a very strange
postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means."
The doctor said, "Just wait until I get home, and I will explain it to you."
Later that evening the doctor came home, read the postcard, and fell to the floor with a heart
attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He
asked her what she thought might have caused the cardiac arrest. The wife picked up the card
and read it to him: "Four Spaghettis: Two with sausage and meatballs, two without."
The Special Branch (National Intelligence), The CID, and the Kenya Police 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 each of them has to catch.
The SB 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 CID go 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 Kenya Police goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten dog. The dog is
yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!
Some things take a long time to change. Take the (dis)advantages of higher education, for
example. In the 1970s, to be highly educated in Uganda was a risky business. The military
government of the day was deeply suspicious of educated people, who were deemed to be
dangerous. Many of those who did not flee the country were killed.
Today, higher education is required for most jobs. That is why so many people are going to
university to earn a degree that will open the doors of employment. But again, this kind of
education has its disadvantages. It tends to condemn a person to total dependence on salaried
employment, making them vulnerable to sudden destitution should they lose their jobs.
Strangely enough, at the end of the day, when you trace the adult lives of people at most
workplaces, it is the drivers, messengers and cleaners who do better as far as individual financial
security is concerned. After working for five years, a tea girl will have invested more than the
secretary along with whom she was recruited. The driver will be more financially solid than the
mid-rank graduate officer.
The tea girl, you see, doesn't just earn a salary. She also supplies mandazis to the secretaries at
break time. She arrives at work much earlier than them, to make sure her merchandise is
distributed to various agents such as junior tea girls in nearby offices and a few street side
vendors. When the secretaries arrive, she greets them politely and asks what they would like for
their break. Since she extends credit, many of her bosses are in her debt. They pay up as soon as
they get their salaries, because it would be beneath their dignity to default on a tea girl's money.
Meanwhile, her younger sister, whom she brought over from the village two years ago, is
manning their stall in the market, where they sell second-hand clothes.
From among these, the elder sister regularly selects the "first class" pieces and sells them at
higher prices to the secretaries, who do not want to be seen in the downmarket stalls bargaining
for used garments.Because of spending so much time with educated people, the tea girl has
decided that the child whose birth forced her out of school six years ago, will have the best
education she can provide. She puts the child in a good school and pushes her to work for good
grades. She will even make sacrifices to pay for private coaching.
As for our driver, he is doing equally well. Extremely humble and obliging before the executives,
he is regarded as indispensable. After working there for 10 years, he knows the secrets of the top
men in the organization. They therefore tend to let him get away with small sins like fuel bills
that seem on the high side for the mileage covered. Unbeknown to his bosses, he is running two
or three taxicabs as well as a small shop near his home. He has a line of one-room rental houses
and any tenant who is late with the monthly payment is evicted ruthlessly.
His drivers and wives, who double as shop assistants, bow lower before him than he does before
his bosses at work. His children, who are subjected to very strict discipline, will be sent to the
best schools if they are academically promising. Otherwise, they are absorbed into the family
business at an early age. He rules over his small empire with an iron hand.
The tea girl and the driver get salaries that are much lower than those of the secretary and the
middle officer. But because they live close to the ground, as it were, they spend much less and so
are able to save and invest.
The young graduate, on the other hand, cannot imagine running a soda-and-cake network in the
office. So, he has no income apart from his official salary. Yet he goes to expensive clubs and
wears trendy clothes. So, come the end of the month, he has no money left! Whereas the driver
no longer touches his salary, relying instead on his diverse incomes to run his home.
The graduate cannot invest in the places he frequents and the circles he moves in; he cannot
build a five-star hotel. But the driver can open kiosks and bars in his slum. One day, both these
people will have to leave their employment. No prizes for guessing who is better prepared for
life after retirement. The privatization and downsizing of the public service gave us many sad
cases of senior officers who tried to start businesses with their retirement packages. At their age,
it was too late to learn new tricks, and most got cleaned out within a week, ending up as
frustrated alcoholics.
The stronger ones converted their family cars into cabs, and can be seen touting for teenage
passengers outside discotheques. They live in unfinished houses and are always quarrelling with
their growing children, who cannot cope with the fall in their standard of living.
As the driver's and tea girl's offspring join the business sector with ease, the former officer's sons
and daughters sit around idly talking about Western film stars and singers. Such are the dangers
of an elitist education.
Scary!!
On their wedding night, the young bride went up to her new husband.
"Since we're married now, we can arrange our sex life like this: In the evening, if my hair is
done, that means I don't want sex at all. If my hair is somewhat undone, that means I may or may
not have sex. And if my hair is completely undone, that means I want sex."
"Okay sweetheart," the groom replied. "Just make sure, when I come home, I usually have a
drink. If I have only one drink, that means I don't want sex. If I have two drinks, I may or may
not want sex. But if I have three drinks, your hair doesn't matter."
Ainsi soit-il !
Puis Dieu se présenta au chien et lui dit : Tu es un chien. Tu veilleras sur l'humanité, et pour cela
tu seras le meilleur ami de l'homme. Tu ne mangeras que des restes et tu vivras 25 ans.
Le chien répondit : Seigneur, 25 ans d'une telle vie c'est trop. SVP pas plus de 15 ans !
Ainsi soit-il...
A la fin, Dieu apparu à l'homme et lui dit : Tu es l'homme ! Le seul être rationnel, le monde
t'appartiendra. Tu vas mettre au profit ton intelligence pour réaliser plein de choses captivantes.
Tu vas dominer le monde et pour cela tu vivras 20 ans !
Sur cela l'homme répondit : Seigneur, être un homme seulement 20 ans ce n'est pas suffisant. S'il
te plaît, donnes-moi en plus, les 30 ans de l'âne, les 15 du chien, ainsi que les 10 du singe.
Ainsi Dieu se préoccupa pour que l'homme vive 20 ans comme un homme, puis se mariera et
vivra 30 ans comme un âne, travaillera durement du matin au soir en portant de lourds poids sur
ses épaules. Puis il aura des enfants et vivra 15 ans comme un chien, il surveillera la maison
et il mangera ce que la famille lui laissera. Puis, une fois âgé, il vivra 10 ans comme un singe,
se comportera comme un idiot et amusera ses petits enfants.
Ainsi soit-il...
TO MY DEAR WIFE:
During the past year I have tried to make
love to you 365 times. I have succeeded 36 times, which is an
average of once every ten days.
The following is a list of why I did not
succeed more often:
KEEP READING.......
==========================================================
TO MY DEAR HUSBAND:
TO MY CHILD
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect
it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the
park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that
puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in
the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine
for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or
second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to
fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can
have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born
and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be
grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about the mothers and
fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting
their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital
rooms watching their children suffer senselessly and screaming inside that they can't handle it
anymore.
And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer.
It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day.............
Hi! I am a 29-year-old father. Me and my wife have had a wonderful life together. God blessed
us with a child too. Our daughters name is Rachel and she is 10 years old. Not long ago did the
doctors detect brain cancer in her little body.
There is only one way to save her and that is an operation.
Sadly we don't have the money for the operation. AOL and Zdnet (in Zimbabwe) have agreed to
help us. The only way they can help is this:
If you send this email to other people AOL will track this email and count how many people get
it. Every person that opens this email and sends it to at least 3 people will give us 32c. (in
Zimbabwe dollars)

~*SPECIAL PEOPLE*~
This is sent to the special people in my life. I am
sending this to you, to see how many of you actually
read your e-mail!
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do
something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a
stand. What we must realize is that our need has been
met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The
prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now
time to move on.
8 Replies or More = you are totally awesome (and probably why you're on MY list!)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year,
due to the serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a
willful malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the
reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.
This defect has been technically termed, "Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality," or more
commonly known as SIN, as it is primarily expressed.
The Manufacturer, Who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory
authorised repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect.
The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the
staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The toll free number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please
upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download
ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big
or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
[a] Love
[b] Joy
[c] Peace
[d] Patience
[e] Kindness
[f] Goodness
[g] Faithfulness
[h] Gentleness
[i] Self-control
Please see the operating manual, HOLY BIBLE, for further details on the use of these fixes. As
an added upgrade, the manufacturer has made available to all repaired units a facility enabling
direct monitoring and assistance from a resident Maintenance Technician, the Holy Ghost.
Repaired units need only make Him welcome and He will take up permanent residence on the
premises!
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids the
Manufacturer's warranty, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will
result in the human unit being permanently impounded.
For free emergency service, call on JESUS.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped
in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent
contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention. Please assist where possible by
notifying others of this important recall notice.
Have a good one!
Look what some lunatic sent me. Sorry, if it stinks just let me know.
Two young guys were picked up by the cops for smoking dope and appeared in court on Friday
before the judge. The judge said, "you seem like nice young men, and I'd like to give you a
second chance instead of jail time. I want you to go out this weekend and try to show others the
evils of drug use and get them to give up drugs forever. I'll see you back in court
Monday."
Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said to the 1st one, "How did you do over the
weekend?"
"Well, your honor, I persuaded 17 people to give up drugs forever."
"17 people? That's wonderful. What did you tell them?"
"I used a diagram, your honor. I drew 2 circles like this... O o and told them this (the big circle)
is your brain before drugs, and this (small circle) is your brain after drugs."
"That's admirable," said the judge, "And you, how did you do?" (to the second boy)
"Well your honor, I persuaded 156 people to give up drugs forever."
"156 people! That's amazing! How did you do that?"
"Well, I used a similar approach. (draws 2 circles) o O "I said, (pointing to the small circle) this
is your asshole before prison......"
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically
impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its
throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the
teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human, it was physically impossible. The
little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
Ol' Fred
Ol' Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near death. The family called their
preacher to stand with them.
As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol' Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he
motioned frantically for something to write on.
The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used his last bit of
energy to scribble a note, then suddenly died.
The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket
pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket
that he was wearing when Ol' Fred died. He said, "You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just
before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration
there for us all."
He opened the note, and read, "Please step to your left -- you're standing on my oxygen tube!"
New Kanu
Farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new
rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."
The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what
it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"
The young rooster says, "Beat it! you are washed up and I am taking over."
The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you three times around the
farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."
The young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just to be fair I will
give you a head start."
The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running
after him.
They round the front porch of the farmhouse the second time and the young rooster has closed
the gap. He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters
running by. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM! He blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer
sadly shakes his head and says, "Darn.... third gay rooster I bought this month."
Moral of this story... Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age and treachery will always overcome
youth and skill!
A plane is about to crash. There are five passengers on board but only four parachutes.
The first passenger says: "I’m Zinnedine Zidane, the world’s best soccer player. Fifa needs me, I
can’t afford to die" So he takes the first pack and leaves the plane.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says: "I’m the most ambitious woman in the world. I’m
also a New York senator and a potential future president "She takes the second parachute and
jumps out.
The third passenger, Robert Mugabe, says; "I am president of Zimbabwe and I have 13 Million
helpless people who always look up to me for guidance. Above all, I am the cleverest president
in African history and Africa’s people won’t let me die. "So he puts on his pack and jumps out.
The fourth passenger, Nelson Mandela, says to the fifth passenger, a 10-year-Chinese school
boy; "I’ve lived a full and fruitful life and I’m well prepared for the after-life so I’ll let you have
the last parachute".
"That’s okay. says the boy. "There’s a parachute for each one of us. Africa’s cleverest
president has just taken my school backpack".
The local bar was so sure its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing
$1000 bet.
The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a
patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.
Many people had tried over time, including the professional wrestlers and bodybuilders, but
nobody could do it.
One day a scrawny little man came in, wearing a tie and a pair of pants hiked up past his belly
button.
He said in a squeaky annoying voice, "I'd like to try the bet."
Even the hillbilly chicks burst into laughter.
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said, "Ok," grabbed a lemon, and squeezed
away. He then handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.
But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and
six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man, "What did you do
for a living? Are you a lumberjack, weight lifter, or what?"
The man replied, "I work for the IRS."
Baked Beans
Once upon a time, there lived a man who had a terrible passion for baked beans. He
loved them, but they always had an embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on
him. One day he met a girl and fell in love. When it was apparent that they would
marry, he thought to himself "She'll never go for me carrying on like that," so he
made the supreme sacrifice and gave up his beloved baked beans, and shortly
after, that they got married.
It was his birthday a few months later and, on the way home from work, his car
broke down.
Since they lived in the country, the man called his wife and told her he would be
late because he had to walk.
On his way home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans
overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk, he figured he could walk
off any ill effects before he got home. So he went in and ordered, and before
leaving had three extra large helpings of baked beans. All the way home he 'putt-
putted'. He 'putted' down one hill and 'putt-putted' up the next.
By the time he arrived home he felt reasonably safe. His wife met him at the door
and seemed somewhat excited.
She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise for you for dinner
tonight!" She put a blindfold on him, and led him to his chair at the head of the
table and made him promise not to peek.
At this point he was beginning to feel another one coming on. Just as she was about
to remove the blindfold, the telephone rang. She again made him promise not to
peek until she returned, and she went to answer the phone. While she was gone, he
seized the opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was not only
loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He had a hard time breathing, so he felt for his
napkin and fanned the air about him. He had just started to feel better, when
another urge came on. He raised his leg and 'rrriiiipppp!' It sounded like a diesel
engine revving, and smelled worse. To keep from gagging, he tried fanning his arms
awhile, hoping the smell would dissipate. Things had just about returned to normal
when he felt another urge coming. He shifted his weight to his other leg and let go.
This was a real blue-ribbon winner; the windows rattled, the dishes on the table
shook and, a minute later, the flowers on the table were dead. While keeping an ear
tuned in on the conversation in the hallway, and keeping his promise of staying
blindfolded, he carried on like this for the next ten minutes, farting and fanning
them each time with his napkin. When he heard his wife saying goodbye (indicating
the end of his loneliness, and freedom) he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and
folded his hands on top of it. Smiling contentedly, he was the picture of innocence
when his wife walked in. Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if he had peeked
at the dinner. After assuring her he had not, she removed the blindfold and yelled,
"Surprise!!"
To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated around the table
for his surprise birthday party.
In this world we live in today, not enough people bother to say just how
much you are appreciated.
Lives go by, and people die, and never know how important they are.
So at the funeral, everyone shows up to show their respects to the family
that is left.
But wouldn't it be great if we could tell them how we feel before it is too
late?
Don't wait until your family and loved ones have passed, because the worst
feeling in the world is not being able to share how you feel. So take the time
and pass this on to let your loved ones know that you love and appreciate
them. Make the best out of life, because it is gone before we know it

They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would
shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the
animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the
donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake
it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest
wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!
P.S. The donkey later came back and kicked THE CRAP out of the farmer that tried burying
him.
Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to get you!
Dear Sir,
Sub: "Salary increase"

* My work exposes me to contagious diseases
Yours truly,
Penis
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dear Penis,
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration
rejects your request for the following reasons:
* You do not work 8 hours straight
* You fall asleep on the job after brief work periods
* You do not always follow the orders of the management team
* You do not stay in your allocated position, and often visit other areas
* You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and
stimulated in order to start working
* You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift
* You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective
clothing

Bill Gates died in a car accident. He found himself in Purgatory being sized up by God. ...
"Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or
Hell. After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in the
world and yet you created that ghastly Windows 95. I'm going to do something I've never done
before. In your case, I'm going to let you decide where you want to go!"
Bill replied: "Well, thanks, God. What's the difference between the two?"
God said: "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly if it will help you make a
decision."
Bill said: "OK, then, let's try Hell first." So Bill went to Hell...
It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters. There were thousands of beautiful
women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining
and the temperature was perfect. Bill was very pleased.
"This is great!" he told God. "If this is Hell, I REALLY want to see Heaven!"
Heaven was a high place in the clouds, with angels drifting about playing harps and singing.
It was nice but not as enticing as Hell. Bill thought for a quick minute and rendered his
decision.
Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how he was doing in
Hell.
When God arrived in Hell, he found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming amongst the hot flames in
a dark cave. He was being burned and tortured by demons.
Bill responded, his voice full of anguish and disappointment: "This is awful, this is not what
I expected. I can't believe this happened. What happened to that other place with the beaches and
the beautiful women playing in the water?"
Little Johnny and his father came across his puppy, dead in the back yard. Daddy explained that
Buddy had gone to heaven.
"So why are his legs sticking up in the air like that, Daddy?" asked Little Johnny, as he fought
back tears.
At a loss for something to say the father replied, "Buddy's legs are pointing straight up in the air
so that it will be easier for Jesus to take him by the leg and lift him up to heaven."
Little Johnny seemed to take Buddy's death quite well. However, two days later when his father
came home from work, Little Johnny had tears in his eyes as he said, "Mommy almost died this
morning." Fearing something terrible had happened, his father questioned, "What do you mean
Johnny? Tell Daddy!"
"Well", mumbled Little Johnny, "Soon after you left for work this morning I saw Mommy lying
on the floor with her legs in the air and she was shouting, 'Oh Jesus! I'm coming, I'm coming!'
And, if it hadn't been for the neighbour who was holding her down, she would have
Do not prematurely scroll down and look at the answer. Here it goes.....
The main character in the story is a girl. When she was at the funeral of her own mother, she met
this guy who was also there but she did not know who he was. This guy happened to be her
dream guy so she fell in love with him at once...
A few days later the girl killed her own sister. When the Police asked her why she did that she
gave a shocking answer... What is her motive in killing her sister?
Answer:
She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.
If you answered this correctly, go to the police and tell them to lock you up. This was a test by
famous American psychologists used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many
arrested serial killers took part in this test and answered it correctly.
If you didn't answer correctly - good for you. If your friends hit the jackpot, may I suggest that
you keep your distance :)
Little Johnny was 7 years old, and like other boys his age, rather curious. He had been hearing
quite a bit about courting from other boys and he wondered what it was and how it was done.
One day he took his questions to his mother, and she became flustered. Instead of explaining
things to Johnny she told him to hide behind the curtains one night and watch his older sister and
her boyfriend. This he did, and the following morning Johnny described everything to his
mother. Sis and her boyfriend sat and talked for awhile, then he turned off most of the lights.
Then he started to kiss and hug her, I figured sis must be getting sick because her face started
looking funny.
He must have thought so too because he put his hand inside her blouse to feel her heart, just like
the doctor would. Except he's not as good as the doctor, because he seemed to have trouble
finding her heart.
He was getting sick too, because pretty soon both of them started panting and getting all out of
breath. His other hand must have been getting cold because he put it under her skirt. About this
time, sis got toward the end of the couch. This was when the fever started. I know it was a fever
because sis told him she was really HOT. Finally, I found out what was making them so sick....
a big eel had gotten inside his pants somehow. It just jumped out of his pants and stood there
about 8 inches long. HONEST! Anyway, he grabbed it in one hand to keep it from getting away.
When sis saw it she got really scared. Her eyes big and her mouth fell open, and she started
calling out to God and stuff like that. I should tell her about the ones I saw at the lake!
"Anyway", sis got brave and tried to kill the eel by biting its head off. All of a sudden, she made
a noise and let the eel go. I guess it bit her back. Then she grabbed it with both hands and held it
tight while he took a muzzle out of his pocket and slipped it over the eels head to keep it from
biting again. Sis lay back and spread her legs so she could get a scissor lock on it. And he helped
by laying on the top of the eel. The eel put up a hell of a fight. Sis started groaning and squealing
and her boyfriend almost upset the couch. I guess they wanted to kill the eel by squishing it
between them. After a while they both quit moving and gave a great sigh. Her boyfriend sat up
and sure enough they had killed the eel... I knew it was dead because it just hung there very limp
and some of its insides were hanging out. Sis and her boyfriend were a little tired from the battle,
but they went on courting anyway. He started hugging and kissing her again. And by golly, the
eel wasn't dead after all. It jumped straight up and started to fight again. I guess eels are like
cats....they have nine lives or something. This time sis jumped up and tried to kill the eel by
sitting on it. After about 25 minutes of struggle, they finally killed the eel. I know it was dead
this time because I saw sis's boyfriend peel off the skin and flush it down the toilet.
Mother started looking sick and her eyes started getting bigger.
If you have a bad day at work, be thankful. Appreciate that you have a job. Some people don't.
When you pay your bills, be thankful. You can pay them.
If you see a gray hair, be thankful. Think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who only wishes
for any hair.
When you find yourself waiting in line or the recipient of poor service, be thankful. Think about
the people who have no food to eat at all.
When you realize how much work it is to take care of a house, be thankful you have a house.
Think about those who only wish they had a house to take care of.
When you feel like complaining because you have to walk a long distance from your car, be
thankful. Think of what it would be like not to be able to walk!
If you get irritated by other people's anger, apathy, ignorance, bitterness, or insecurities, be
thankful. Things could be worse. You could be one of them!
When you think everything in your world is terrible, and you want to give up, think of the people
who have been told they only have a certain amount of time to live. They don't want to give up.
Live life to its fullest. Appreciate life. Please send this message on to everyone you know
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.
After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when
they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets
his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or
when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So,
treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone
special, special enough to spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one.
There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So
work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's
watching.
If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone special. I just did!
"Once there was a philosopher doing a survey on a group of men, on the topic of happiness. He
said "I can prove to you that the amount of happiness has relation to the amount of love making
you have!" To prove this he glanced at the audience. And he saw a man at the right hand
corner, smiling, "Sir, How often do you have?" he asked. "Once a month." the man answered.
Looking for another happy face, he spotted a man in the middle, having a bigger smile. And he
asked him "Sir, How often do you have?" "Once a week." the man shouted.
Trying to prove his theory further, he saw another man laughing. "You seem to be a very happy
man, So how often do you have?" "Well, ...everyday" the happy man answered. "There, I am
right ...the amount of happiness has relation to the amount of love making you have" said the
philosopher.
But far off at the end of the room, he saw a man with his hands in the air. Laughing and jumping
with so much happiness. So the philosopher said to him, "You sure look like a very happy man?"
"Yes, Yes .. Yes," answered the very happy man. "So how often do you get to have?" the
philosopher asked. The man answered "Once a year...." The puzzled and embarrassed
philosopher asked the man "WHAT? Then why are you so happy??" The man while laughing,
and jumping said: "IT'S TONIGHT... IT'S TONIGHT!!"

Ready?? Begin..
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care". You're seen as
vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could
be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a
natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as
bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and
enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always
interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced
not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding;
someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as
clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but
someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends,
but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very
cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever
did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine
everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction
is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs
looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get
involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that
don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you
aren't.
Now forward this to others, and put your score in subject box.

Day 3.
This marriage is in trouble. A woman has needs. Yesterday, I saw a picture of Nelson's Column
and burst into tears.
Day 4.
A miracle has happened! There's a new drug on the market that will fix his 'problem.' It's called
Viagra. I told him that if he takes Viagra, things will be just like they were on our wedding night.
I think this will work. I replaced his Prozac with the Viagra, hoping to lift something other
than his mood.
Day 5.
What absolute bliss!!.
Day 6.
Isn't life wonderful but it's difficult to write while he's doing that.
Day 7.
This Viagra thing has gone to his head. No pun intended! Yesterday at Burger King, the manager
asked me if I'd like a Whopper. He thought they were talking about him. But, I have to admit it's
very nice - I don't think I've ever been so happy.
Day 8.
I think he took too many over the weekend. Yesterday, instead of mowing the lawn, he was
using his new friend as a weed eater. I'm also getting a bit sore down there.
Day 9.
No time to write. He might catch me.
Day 10.
Okay, I admit it. I'm hiding. I mean, a girl can only take so much. And to make matters worse,
he's washing the Viagra down with neat whisky! What am I going to do? I feel tacky all over....
Day 11.
I'm basically being screwed to death. It's like living with a Black and Decker drill. I woke up this
morning hot-glued to the bed. Even my armpits hurt. He's a complete pig.
Day 12.
I wish he was gay. I've stopped wearing make-up, cleaning my teeth or even washing but he still
keeps coming after me! Even yawning has become dangerous ...
Day 13.
Every time I shut my eyes, there's a sneak attack! It's like going to bed with a scud missile. I can
hardly walk and if he tries that "Oops, sorry" thing again, I'll kill the bastard.
Day 14.
I've done everything to turn him off. Nothing is working. I even started dressing like a nun but
this just seems to make him more horny. Help me.
Day 15.
I think I'll have to kill him. I'm starting to stick to everything sit on. The cat and dog won't go
near him and our friends don't come over any more. Last night I told him to go and f**k himself
and he did.
Day 16.
The bastard has started to complain about headaches. I hope the bloody thing explodes. I did
suggest he might try stopping the Viagra and going back on Prozac.
Day 17.
Switched the pills but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.....Christ!!! here he comes
again.
Day 18.
He's back on Prozac. The lazy sod just sits there in front of the telly all day with that remote
control in his hand and expects me to do everything for him.
Day 19.
What absolute bliss!!.
When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with
me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I
wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He
said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You
don't understand. ... Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk
said, "Me too!"
Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her.
A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4
o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." -- My case
comes up next Thursday.
Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more
damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the
other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist,
she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has
been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I
can't live any longer being so lonely." and the doctor said, "Look
mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend
so go get yourself a dog."
A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring.
The older gent suggested the young one accompany him on his rounds so the community could
become used to a new doctor.
At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach."
The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back
on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"
As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman. How'd you come to
your diagnosis so quickly?"
"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent
over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably
making her sick."
"Huh," the younger doctor said, "Pretty sneaky. I think I'll try that at the next house."
Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with an elderly woman.
She complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down
lately."
"You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger doctor told her.
"Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps."
As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did you
arrive at it?"
"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When I bent down to retrieve it,
I noticed the preacher under the bed."
LITTLE FLAB
One morning while making breakfast, a man walked up to his wife and pinched her on the butt
and said, "If you firmed this up, we could get rid of your control top pantyhose." While this was
on the edge of intolerable, she kept silent.
The next morning, the man woke his wife with a pinch on each of her breasts and said, "You
know, if you firmed these up, we could get rid of your bra."
This was beyond a silent response, so she rolled over and grabbed him by
his penis. With a death grip in place, she said, "You know, if you firmed this up, we could get rid
of the gardener, the postman, the pool man, and your brother."
Two old pensioners are taking a trip down memory lane by going back to the place where they
first met. Sitting at a cafe, the little old man says, "Remember the first time I met you over 50
years ago?
We left this cafe, went round the corner behind the gas works, and gave you one from behind?"
"Why, yes, I remember it well, dear," replies the little old lady with a grin.
"Well", said the little old man, "for old time's sake, let's go there again, and I'll give you one
from behind."
The two pensioners pay their bill and leave the cafe. A young man sitting next to them has
overheard the conversation and smiles to himself, thinking it would be quite amusing to see two
old pensioners at it. He gets up and follows them.
Sure enough, he sees the two pensioners near the gas works. The little old lady pulls off her
knickers and lifts up her dress. The old man pulls down his pants and grabs the lady's hips, and
the little old lady reaches for the fence. Well, what follows is 40 minutes of the most athletic sex
the young man has ever seen.
The little old man is banging away at the little old woman at a pace that can only be described as
phenomenal. Limbs are flying everywhere, the movement is a blur, and they do not stop for a
single second. Finally, they collapse and don't move for an hour.
Well, the young man is stunned. Never in his life has he ever seen anything that equates to this -
not in the movies, not from his friends, not from his own experiences.
Reflecting on what he has just seen, he says to himself, "I have to know his secret. If only I could
shag like that now, let alone in 50 years time!" The two old pensioners have by this time
recovered and dressed themselves.
Plucking up courage, the young man approaches the pensioner. He says, "Sir, in all my life I
have never seen anybody shag like that, particularly at your age. What's your secret? Could you
shag like that 50 years ago?"
The pensioner replies, "Son, 50 years ago, that f*****g fence wasn't electrified."
This is funny and I can't risk any bad luck. Never under estimate the little old Lady.....
A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day carrying a bag of money. She insisted that
she must speak with the president of the bank to open a savings account because, "It's a lot of
money!"
After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her into the president's office
(the customer is always right!)
The bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit. She replied, "$165,000!"
and dumped the cash out of her bag onto his desk.
The president was of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her,
"Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around. "Where did you get this money?"
"Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet!"
The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?"
"Sure," said the president, I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!" The little old lady then
said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me
tomorrow at 10:00 AM as a witness?"
That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror
checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again.
He thoroughly checked them out until he was sure there was absolutely no way his balls were
square and that he would win the bet.
The next morning, at precisely 10:00 am, the little old lady appeared with her lawyer at the
president's office. She introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet: "$25,000 says
the president's balls are square!"
The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked him to drop his pants so they
could all see. The president did.
The little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if she could feel them.
"Well, Okay," said the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely
sure."
Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his head against the wall. The President
asked the old lady, "What the hell's the matter with your lawyer?"
She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 AM today, I'd have The Bank of
Canada's president's balls in my hand."
A Roman Catholic nun is in charge of a Class of girls, and asks them what they would like to be
when grown up. One twelve-year old answers, "A prostitute."
The nun fainted. After a short while she revived, and looking at the girl she said, "what ...did
..you .. say . you . wanted to be?"
"Thank you Jesus," exclaimed the nun, "For a moment I thought you had said a Protestant."
A study was made recently to determine the average crime rate at international airports around
the world. The study made use of an ordinary looking man standing in the airport terminal and
reading a newspaper. He had an empty briefcase next to him, which he would ignore.
Observers then recorded how long it took for the briefcase to be snatched.
The experiment was going to be held at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya,
but the people conducting the study were attacked by robbers on the way to the airport, beaten
severely and the briefcase stolen along with the car!
A little boy goes to his Dad and asks, "What's politics?" Dad says, "Well, son, let me try to
explain it to you this way.
"I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me "Capitalism. " Your Mom is the administrator
of the household, so we'll call her "The Government".
We're here to take care of YOUR needs so we'll call you "The People".
The nanny works hard all day for very little money so, we'll consider her "The Working Class."
And your baby brother, we'll call him "The Future." Now, think if it makes sense.
So, the little boy goes off to bed, thinking about what his 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 into the
keyhole and sees his father in bed with the Nanny.
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is
sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.

Chelsea had the most exciting news. She burst into the room shouting, "Dad! Mom! I have some
great news! Nick asked me to marry him. He is like the biggest hunk in Washington. We are
supposed to get married next month.
Bill took Chelsea in the back and said, "Chelsea, you're mother, although an ideal administrator
and public speaker, has never had much to offer in the sack, so, as you might have heard, I have
been known to fool around with other ladies on occasion. Your boyfriend Nick happens to be the
product of one of my love making sessions. He is my son and thus, he is your half-brother."
Chelsea ran out of the office screaming, "Not another brother!"
She rushed to her mother's side, telling her about her all about dad's shameful behaviour and how
every man she dated turns out to be one of her father's illegitimate sons.
Hillary began to laugh and said, "Don't pay any attention to him. He isn't really your father
anyway."

The father says, "It's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That's way more than those two
things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes
the door.
Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients 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 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 at the end, and when the job takes longer than
you said it would."
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, and no spine, and the head and butt are
interchangeable."
These are the top ten funniest excuse notes from parents collected by schools from all over this
country.
1. Please excuse Lola for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.
2. Jimmy has been absent yesterday because he had two teeth taken out of his face.
3. My daughter is under a doctor's care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute her.
4. Please excuse Jenny. She has been sick and under the doctor.
5. Sandra won't be in school a week from today. We have to attend her funeral.
6. Please excuse Holly from Jim today. She is administrating.
7. Kevin was absent from school yesterday because he was playing football. He was damaged in
the growing part.
8. Amy could not come to school today because she was bothered by very close veins.
9. Please excuse Johnny for being. It was his father's fault.
10. Please excuse Jesse from school. He had very loose vowels.
A mother and daughter loved to play around. They partied everyday and always ended up
fucking everybody around. Their holes were played until they became seasoned and loose. One
day, the daughter met the man of her dreams and decided to get married. Now, the man did not
know about their flicks and thought the daughter was still a virgin. So he decided to leave any
lovemaking until their wedding night. The daughter began to worry about the condition of her
hole and consulted her mother, "Mum, I'm worried, what will Peter do if he finds out about my
hole?" Mother said, "Don't worry dear, I will teach you a way to fool your husband-to-be. Here's
what you do, place an apple in your hole and it will be tight and he won't even notice it." So the
daughter did what her mother taught her and everything went well and the stupid husband didn't
even notice. This went on for a few months. Now, every time the daughter wanted to bathe, she
would take out the apple and place it on the washbasin and after bathing, she would put it back in
her hole. One day, after bathing, she forgot to put it back and left it on the washbasin. The
husband came into the washroom and saw the apple and thought that her wife left the apple for
him and he ate it, "Honey, thanks for the apple. It tasted great!" Shocked, the daughter dare not
tell her husband about it and went to consult her mother, "Mum, I'm in deep shit now! I took
out the apple while I was bathing and I forgot to put it back and Peter found the apple I left on
the washbasin and ate it! What should I do? Will he be poisoned? I'm scared, mum." Mother
said, "Don't worry dear, a few years ago, your father ate the WATERMELON I left in the
washroom and he lived!"

Turn To Stone
Once there was a little boy who was curious about what a strip club was like so one day he
decided to sneak into one. Once he was in, he watched as the strippers danced. He watched until
they started taking of their clothing. That's when he bolted out the door and started running down
the street and into a man. The man asks the boy, "What's wrong young man? You look like you
just saw a ghost!" The little boy replies, "My mommy and daddy told me that if I ever watched
anybody undress, I'd turn to stone...and all of a sudden I felt something hard!
Truck Driver
A truck driver was driving a fully loaded lorry to the top of a steep hill. Just as he was starting
down the equally steep slope, he noticed a man and a woman lying in the center of the road,
making wild and passionate love. In total disbelief, he blew his air horn several times as he was
nearing down on them. He realized that they were not going to stop or get out of his way, so he
slammed on his brakes and stopped just inches from them. Furious, he got out and walked to the
front of the truck.
He looked down at the two, still in the road, and yelled, "What's the matter with you two? Didn't
you hear me blowing the horn? You could have been killed?" Eventually, the man looked up at
the truck driver, obviously satisfied and not too concerned and said, "Look, I was coming, she
was coming and you were coming. You were the only one with brakes........."
Financial Needs
Husband and wife are getting all snugly in bed. The passion is heating up. But then the wife
stops and says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." The husband says "WHAT??"
The wife explains that he must not be in tune with her emotional needs as a Woman. The
husband realises that nothing is going to happen tonight and he might as well deal with it. So the
next day the husband takes her shopping at a big dept. store. He walks around and has her try on
three very expensive outfits. And then tells his wife. We'll take all three of them. Then goes
over and gets matching shoes worth $200 each. And then goes to the Jewelry Dept. and gets a set
of diamond earrings. The wife is so excited (she thinks her husband has flipped out, but she does
not care). She goes for the tennis bracelet. The husband says "but you don't even play tennis,
but OK if you like it then lets get it." The wife is jumping up and down so excited she cannot
even believe what is going on. She says,! "I am ready to go, lets go to the cash register." The
husband says," no - no - no, honey we're not going to buy all this stuff." The wife's face goes
blank. "No honey - I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while." Her face gets really red and
she is about to explode and then the Husband says, "You must not be in tune with my financial
needs as a Man!!!
I am forced to write to you at this momentous time in this extraordinary public manner because
there is no other viable way I can reach you. I am also doubtful that though I could be counted as
a "Young Turk," having been born after independence, I would have been as lucky as Mr. Uhuru
Kenyatta, to have the unprecedented access to your ears. Unfortunately, both my parents were
not as lucky as Uhuru's parents; They never occupied any exalted place in the Kenyan polity. Be
that as it may,in view of your recent statements about Uhuru Kenyatta, I have a few questions,
which I hope you can answer for me - and by extension - for the silent Kenyans.
1. First, although you have repeatedly told Kenyans that you chose Uhuru because of his
exemplary qualities, you have never specifically listed what those qualities are. Could you be
very kind enough to explain to Kenyans the qualities that attracted you to uhuru and that you are
inviting Kenyans to accept? I am particularly interested in those aspects of Uhuru's qualities that
relate to public service, government administration, management, leadership and organization.
2. Second, when you tell us that Uhuru is so young yet very experienced and knowledgeable that
he should succeed you as president of the Republic of Kenya, you have always cited his marital
status and the fact that he has children. But Mr. President, if these are the strongest qualities for
the President of the Republic of Kenya, have you actually tallied how many other Kenyans of
Uhuru's age are married with children? If so, what are their chances of succeeding you?
3. Third, you have repeatedly told Kenyans to trust your judgement about Uhuru because of your
fifty-plus years in politics and your wisdom. But Mr. President, did you seriously consider and
consult the views of other Kenyans of your generation and political experience like Ramogi
Achien'g Oneko, Martin Shikuku and Bildad Kaggia?
4. Fourth, you have also exhorted Kenyans to support your favourite choice because he is not a
tribalist. However, could you please tell Kenyans when and how you discovered this ideal
quality in Uhuru?
5. Fifth, Mr. President, we have seen you traverse the full extent of our nation with Uhuru
Kenyatta, Jirongo, Sunkuli, Biwott and William Ruto, asking us to support these chosen sons of
Kenya as our next rulers. However, some us have wondered what message you are sending out to
young girls in Kenya when you ask them to support Sunkuli. Some of us have also been
wondering what kind of message you are giving to the financial markets and our friends abroad
when you ask Kenyans to vote for a Jirongo and a Ruto. And of course, we are still worried
about all those half-answered questions about Dr. Ouko's death and the aftermath of the aborted
inquiry into that death when we see you solicit the "power" of Mr. Biwot to help you "elect"
Uhuru to the presidency of the Republic of Kenya.
6. Sixth, you have told Kenyans numerous times that you love peace and that you would like to
leave Kenya a peaceful place to live in. If this is true Mr.President, then why do you find it so
difficult to accept our verdict that your choice is defective? If you truly love peace, why are you
putting Kenyans on a collision course? Have you cared to ask Kenyans why they have rejected
Uhuru as inexperienced?
7. Seventh, Mr. President is the statement you recently made in Kisumu about K.A.N.U.having
its owners. Were you misquoted or you meant what you said? And if indeed K.A.N.U. has its
owners, could you please Mr. President just explain to Kenyans who these are so that we do not
have to bother those owners again? And while still at it, could you also tell us when K.A.N.U.
was purchased by these people and for how much? Who sold K.A.N.U. to its new owners? What
happened to the old owners?
8. Eighth, Kenyans would like to know whether or not you are really serious about this Uhuru
Project or is it just like the other experiments you tried and abandoned before?
9. Ninth, If you love us so much as to go to the extent of bringing Uhuru to life from political
oblivion, why have you not done something to accelerate the stalled Constitutional Review
Process?
10. And finally Mr. President, what constitutional or legal basis allows you to use public
facilities like police and military equipment to campaign for Uhuru Kenyatta? Could you also
explain to Kenyans where both you and your entourage get the millions of shillings you have
dishing out at every campaign stop you have had? Once more, since I am not able to
communicate with you directly, could you please publish your response the same way my
questions have come to your attention?
I thank you sincerely for taking time off from your busy campaign swing across Kenya to
address these questions for us. May God give you more strength to fulfil your duties to the
Nation.
Yours faithfully,
TRUE KENYAN
Good day.
A wife arrived home after a long shopping trip, and was horrified to find her husband in bed with
a young, lovely thing. Just as she was about to storm out of the house, her husband stopped her
with these words: "Before you leave, I want you to hear how this all came about. Driving
home, I saw this young girl, looking poor and tired, I offered her a ride. She was hungry, so I
brought her home and fed her some of the roast you had forgotten about in the refrigerator. Her
shoes were worn out so I gave her a pair of your shoes you didn't wear because they were out
of style. She was cold so I gave her that new birthday sweater you never wore even once because
the color didn't suit you. Her slacks were worn out so I gave her a pair of yours that you don't fit
into anymore. Then as she was about to leave the house, she paused and asked, 'Is there
anything else that your wife doesn't use anymore?' "And so, here we are!"
Teeth
A blonde teenage girl comes home from school and asks her mother, "Is it true what Rita just
told me ..... Babies come out of the same place where boys put their thingies?"
"Yes, dear." replies her mother, pleased that the subject had finally come up, and she wouldn't
have to explain it in detail to her daughter.
"But then, when I have a baby," responded the blonde teenager, "won't it knock my teeth out?"
Birthday Gift
A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's birthday and as they had not
been dating very long, after careful consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the
right note: romantic but not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he
went to Nordstrom's and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for
herself. During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves and the
sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, the young man sealed the package and
sent it to his sweetheart with the following note:
"I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in
the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons
but she wears short ones that are easier to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady I
bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they
are hardly soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart. I wish I were there to
put them on for you the first time as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before
I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off, remember to blow in them before
putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many
times I will kiss them during the coming year!
P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing."
sample this!

Subject: 10 reasons why Uhuru Should be President
Wanjira,
You and Kong'ani should be thrown into jail for seeming to go against our young and visionary
leader. Our visionary leader's main agenda is to create employment. How do you expect that to
happen if the heart of our capital city, Kenyatta avenue, is rid of street children?!!!!! The number
will, on the contrary, double, triple or even quadruple every year. That will create employment
in numerous sectors. One of the street children will also, automatically and most democratically,
be elected Mayor and then there will be no need to waist money on garbage collection, putting
up residential houses, paying salaries of city hall askaris and all that old generation garb. We
have vision, a lot of it, about which you are unlikely to know much. Where you belong is in the
dead opposition and you better go there HARAKA SANA!
BMM
> Kongani,
> You are mad!!! However, there are more reasons still why Uhuru should
> be president.
2. Uhuru Park will remain the main arena for Public Holidays – better still it will receive
some better attention and you can be sure it won't be grabbed.
3. Kenyatta Avenue will remain the main street in Nairobi and better still will be rehabilitated
and cleaned off the street kids.
4. Kenyatta Hospital once renowned for its efficiency and success will go back to its old
King George glory days.
6. We could just get the Old Kenyatta note's back and sticking to one image on the money
just like the dollar.
7. Kenyatta University qualifications will start to hold more weight in the job market.
8. Uhuru gardens, a fantastic picnic spot will come to the fore of many who do not even
know it exists.
9. We get to keep Kenyatta Day and with Moi day scrapped we do not have to worry about
too many public holidays that have an adverse effect on our GDP.
10. The Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos will see some increased activity bringing some much
needed revenue to Ukambani - in line with the Osa Vinya Mukamba plan.
Add more that might come to mind but leave these Top 10 reasons intact.
11. Uhuru na Kazi motto may at long last bear fruit, ending the long stretch of joblessness.
12. Harambees will again mean pulling together for some worthy cause.
13. We will see a upsurge in the sell of the 'kenyatta' belt, thus an increase in the much
needed foreign exchange
14. We will get to see old bags retiring at 55 again as they will not be able to keep up with
the youthful energy soon to be unleashed.
15. Taxation on alcoholic beverages will be reduced to increase volume consumption, thus
still managing to have projected tax returns and a happier nation.
16. Dental care will cease to be a priority thus allowing the citizens to use their hard earned
disposable income on other needs including #15
17. Fewer fashion colleges in line with the lack of fashion sense by the office bearer, parents
can thus redeploy hard earned cash to other obligations including #15
18. Point 5s will get a confidence boost and it will be fashionable to date and even marry
them.
19. Academics and so-called hard work will cease to be a virtue in Kenya as Idlers and
Mommy's boys will rank very highly.
20. My favourite estate "Unyee" will have clean highrise buildings just like Nyayo Estate in
Embakasi
21. Many more Kenyans will know the Kiswahili word for Independence
22. Mungiki will replace the trainers at Kiganjo (a change is better than a rest) and we might just
see some good results (no need for police uniform, etc)
23. Thuggery will be everyone's stock-in-trade, with the conesquence that no one will need to
worry -- since we will all be thugs!
24. DC Mwango (as he then was) will be punished for publicly humiliating and shaving a school
teacher's goatee in the mid-80s.
25. The national call to action will shift from "harambee!!!" to "niaje!!!!" which will be more
familiar to the new President and his cronies.
26. We can shut down all churches and mosques and worship under a mugumo tree and thus use
church and mosque buildings as off-licences.
27. We replace cigarettes with snuff and thus finally we can declare: Snuff makes us equal, has
no equal.
28. Mungiki will ensure all Kenyan women undergo F.G.M. thus preserving our beloved
traditional values and keeping society moral.
29. Police will stop arresting people for drunken driving since they will be permanently drunk
themselves according to No. 15 above.
30. Since he is the only one who is above tribal politics, he will destroy all those who are below
tribal politics (all the rest of us!!) and he will then live happily ever after.
This is dedicated to all women everywhere who have ever had to deal with a public toilet. And it
finally explains to all you men what takes us so long. My mother was a fanatic about public
toilets. As a little girl, she'd bring me in the stall, teach me to wad up toilet paper and wipe the
seat. Then, she'd carefully lay strips of toilet paper to cover the seat. Finally, she'd instruct,
"Never, never sit on a public toilet seat." And she'd demonstrate "The Stance," which consisted
of balancing over the toilet in a sitting position without actually letting any of your flesh make
contact with the toilet seat. But by this time, I'd have peed down my leg. And we'd go home.
That was a long time ago. I've had lots of experience with public toilets since then, but I'm still
not particularly fond of public toilets, especially those with powerful, red-eye sensors. Those
toilets know when you want them to flush. They are psychic toilets. But I always confuse their
psychic ability by following my mother's advice and assuming The Stance. The Stance is
excruciatingly difficult to maintain when one's bladder is especially full. This is most likely to
occur after watching a full-length feature film.
During the movie pee, it is nearly impossible to hold The Stance.
You know what I mean. You drink a two litter cup of Diet Coke, then sit still through a three-our
saga because, for God's sake, even if you didn't wipe or wash your hands in the bathroom, you'd
still miss the pivotal part of the movie or the second scene, in which they flash the leading man's
naked derriere.
So, you cross your legs and you hold it. And you hold it until that first credit rolls and you sprint
to the bathroom, about ready to explode all over your internal organs. And at the bathroom, you
find a line of women that makes you think there's a half-price sale on Mel Gibson's underwear in
there.
So, you wait and smile politely at all the other ladies, also crossing their legs and smiling
politely. And you finally get closer. You check for feet under the stall doors. Every one is
occupied. You hope no one is doing frivolous things behind those stall doors, like blowing her
nose or checking the contents of her wallet. Finally, a stall door opens and you dash, nearly
knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't
matter. You hang your handbag on the door hook, yank down your pants and assume The Stance.
Relief. More relief. Then your thighs begin to shake. You'd love to sit down but you certainly
hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold The Stance as your thighs
experience a quake that would register an eight on the Richter scale. To take your mind off it,
you reach for the toilet paper.
Might as well be ready when you are done. The toilet paper dispenser is empty. Your thighs
shake more. You remember the tiny napkin you wiped your fingers on after eating buttered
popcorn. It would have to do. You crumble it in the puffiest way possible. It is still smaller than
your thumbnail. Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn't work and your
pocketbook whams you in the head. "Occupied!" you scream as you reach out for the door,
dropping your buttered popcorn napkin in a puddle and falling backward, directly onto
the toilet seat. You get up quickly, but it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with all
the germs and life forms on the bare seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper, not that
there was any, even if you had enough time to. Your mother would be utterly ashamed of you if
she knew, because her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, "You
don't know what kind of diseases you could get." By this time, the automatic sensor on the back
of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, sending up a stream of water akin to a fountain and
then it suddenly sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the toilet paper
dispenser for fear of being dragged to China. At that point, you give up. You're finished peeing.
You're soaked by the splashing water. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a Chicklet
wrapper you found in your pocket, then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks. You can't figure
out how to operate the sinks with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a
dry paper towel and walk past a line of women, still waiting, cross-legged and unable to smile
politely at this point. One kind soul at the very end of the line points out that you are trailing a
piece of toilet paper on your shoe as long! as the Mississippi River. You yank the paper from
your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and say warmly, "Here You might need this."
At this time, you see your spouse, who has entered, used and exited his bathroom and read a
copy of War and Peace while waiting for you. "What took you so long?" he asks, annoyed. This
is when you kick him sharply in the shin and go home
A man was sitting reading his paper when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan.
"What was that for?" the man asked.
The wife replied "That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your
trouser pocket."
The man then said "When I was at the races last week, Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on."
The wife apologised and went on with the housework.
Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even
bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious.
Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit him again.
"Your horse phoned."
Moi sacked Peter Odoyo as assistant minister Foreign Affairs after Odoyo threatened to reveal
sordid details of Uhuru's time in Boston. What Moi fails to realise is that the truth is coming out
before Uhuru becomes president and not after. Moi's plan is to bring the Kikuyu to ridicule by
plugging a homosexual as the next president. This is his way of avenging the treatment meted
out to him when he was VP by the Kiambu mafia. The Kiambu mafia are driven by blindness
and only care that one of their own will be president. Until this weekend, Uhuru was an easy sell
but knowing Kenyans distaster for homosexuals, Uhuru is going to be a hard sell. Moi never
forgets nor forgives and this is his way of paying back the Kikuyu in spades. Kenyans have not
seen anything yet and the next few days promise to be very ugly indeed.
1.This guy has no "CV"... no company will hire him coz he has a lot of blanks in his CV. He's
been doing zero, nothing for so many years. The job he got with the Tourist Association, was as
a result of his mum pleading with Mo1 to give him something to do - sources confirm.
2.This guy has never seen the reason to work – a member of the board of directors at Egerton -
not even one meeting did he attend. As the chairman of the the Kenya Tourist "whatever" - never
did he travel to sell Kenya abroad.
3.The Kenyatta family owns Brookside, Kenya Aerotech, NAS etc. Not even Kenyatta's
immediate family will entrust Uhuru to run any of these Companies. Muhoho runs them. Who is
he to manage Kenya.
4.We know he's a drunkard, as confessed by those waiters at Grand Regency,but more so this
guy is lazy as a pig. I can never envision this guy waking up at 5:00 am to be in his office by
6:30 am.Kenya needs a "workaholic" leader(the likes of Raila, Saitoti, Nyachae, Kibaki) and not
a "slacker" like Uhuru – no wonder he was late for his father's memorial in August.....
5.Why is it that's it's only his Mum that has endorsed him to succeed Mo1. What about the rest of
the K family? They know something - we don't.
6.He's not smart enough to realise that he is being used as a genie pig coz Moi's intention is to
look for a kyuk within Kanu to match up with Kibaki. No regard to Kenya's interest - anything
for Kanu to win to protect Moi's interests in retirement. As Kibaki calls it tribal arithmetics.
7.Has he been part of a team to draft, or better still to look at, Kanu's manifesto - No. Kenya
Budget - No. Fiscal Policy - No. Foreign Policy - No Constitution of Kenya - No.......
8.Before Moi, this guy had never won an election - reason's are he had no development track
record and has never had any. Someone says: Uhuru should be send to cape town, we'll be
having the Gay Pride march soon...sure he can earn some votes there! He belongs to Chama cha
Rear Movement (CRM). Watu wa Nyuma. The guy is an ass-pounder, he is a weirdo and
honestly seems high on a mixture of grass and petrol.
Subject: MY MOM....
Hi, I'm sorry about this fwd.
My name is Jasmine. I'm 11 years old. My mommy worked on the 20th floor in the World Trade
Tower. On Sept. 11 2001 my daddy drove my mom to work. She was running late so she left her
purse in the car. My daddy seen it so he parked the car and went to give her the purse.
That day after school my daddy didn’t come to pick me up. Instead a police man came and took

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She
would occasionally walk around to look at the artwork. As she got to one little girl who was
working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher
paused and said, "but no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or
looking up from her drawing the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her 5 and 6 year-
olds. After explaining the commandment "Honor thy Father and thy mother," she asked,
"Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An honest 7-year-old admitted calmly to her parents that Billy Brown had kissed her after
class. "How did that happen?, " gasped her mother.
"It wasn't easy," admitted the young lady, "but three girls helped me catch him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink.
She
suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast
to her
brunette hair. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your
hairs
white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or
unhappy, one of my hairs turns white. The little girl thought about this revelation for a
while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A 3-year-old went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly
informed his mother that there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the
bottom."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each
to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are
all grown up and say: "There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer, or That's Michael. He's a doctor."
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher. She's dead".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying To make the matter
clearer, he said, "Now, boys, if I stood on my head, The blood, as you know would run into
it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes, sir," the boys said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary
position, the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For weeks, a 6-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or
sister
that was expected at his house. One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements
of the unborn child. The 6-year old was obviously impressed, but he made no comment.
Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event.
The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, "Tommy, whatever became of that
baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and
confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the first day of school, the Kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the
bathroom, hold up two fingers."
A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the
room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower.
I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy."
"I know," she replied, "but what is growing in your butt?"

Go Git Yo Mamma
A redneck family from the hills was visiting the city and they were in a mall for the
first time in their life. The father and son were strolling around while the wife
shopped. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two
shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, "Paw, What's 'at?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I dunno. I ain't never
seen anything like that in my entire life, I ain't got no idea'r what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a
wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened
and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy
and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up
sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the
numbers began to light in the reverse order. Then the walls opened up again and a
gorgeous, voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out.
The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his Son, "Boy,
go git yo Momma....

The bride tells her husband: "Honey, you know I'm a virgin and I don't know anything about sex.
Can you explain it to me first?" "OK, Sweetheart. Putting it simply, we will call your private
place 'the prison' and call my private thing 'the prisoner'. So what we do is: put the prisoner in the
prison." And then they made love for the first time. Afterwards, the guy is lying face up on the
bed, smiling with satisfaction. Nudging him, his bride giggles: "Honey the prisoner seems to
have escaped."
Turning on his side, he smiles: "Then we will have to re-imprison him." After the second time
they spent, the guy reaches for his cigarettes. But the girl, thoroughly enjoying the new
experience of making love, gives him a suggestive smile, "Honey, the prisoner is out again!"
The man rises to the occasion, but with the unsteady legs of a recently born foal. Afterwards, he
lays back on the bed, totally exhausted. She nudges him and says, "Honey, the prisoner escaped
again." Limply turning his head, He YELLS at her, "Hey, it's not life imprisonment!"
"A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman
below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend
I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The woman below replied, "You're
in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41
degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an
engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?" "Well,"
answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to
make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all.
If anything, you've delayed my trip." The woman below responded, "You must be in
Management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the woman,
"you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are -- due to
a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you
expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
2. There was this guy who told his woman that he loved her so much that
he would go thru hell for her. They got married - and now he is going thru hell.
3. A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds :"Wife wanted ". Next day,
he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing : "You can have mine."
4. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of
one thing: either the car is new or the wife.
5. It's easy to tell if a man is married or not. Just watch him drive a
car with a woman sitting beside him. If both his hands are on the wheel, you
can be sure he is married.
6. A man received a letter from some kidnappers. The letter said, " If
you don't promise to send us $100,000 I swear that we will kidnap your wife."
The poor man wrote back, " I am afraid I can't keep my promise but I hope
you will keep yours."
7. What's the matter, you look depressed." "I'm having trouble with my
wife." "What happened?" "She said she wasn't going to speak to me for 30
days." "But that ought to make you happy." "It did, but today is the last day."

Another chuckle from work. A couple of years ago our company hired a new head of sales. He
was the nephew of the owner's wife and that was all he had going for him. In his brief stay with
us he did a lot of obnoxious things but this was my favourite. As his first official act he decided
to save the company money by cutting down the sales staff and decided the way to do that was to
fire the highest paid sales person on staff. Of course she was also the top sales person. He invited
her to breakfast at a local coffee shop, where we all gathered frequently, so the staff there knew
us. After being served coffee he cooly informed her that she was being dismissed. The lady just
smiled at him and tossed her coffee right in his face. A heads up waitress rushed over and
chirped "Refill Mam?" It was priceless!
BEIJING, CHINA (AheadOfNews.com) - New laws against spitting and littering went into
effect this week in Beijing, resulting in many fines and quite a few arguments.
Some said that the government had deliberately not publicised the new laws in order to get more
money from fines. The government denies that, saying that the law against spitting or littering
was even better publicised than most new laws.
So far, most of the fines in Beijing have been for spitting, although there are a fair number of
fines for carelessly disposed cigarette butts.
Two brothers claim that they are being unfairly singled out by the new law, and intend to take
the government to court over the issue. Pthpt Li and his brother Sptchpt Li say they've being
repeatedly fined, just for introducing themselves.
So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and
you have made a difference in my life, I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you.
...but most of all it is because I luv you!
Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.
Remember, everyone needs a friend, someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all,
just remember this e-mail and take comfort in knowing somebody out there cares about you and

An old man made it shakily through the door to Joe Conforte's Mustang Ranch, outside Reno,
Nevada. The receptionist stared at him. "You gotta be in the wrong place," she exclaimed. "What
are you looking for?" "Ain't this the famous Mustang Ranch? Ain't this where you got four or
five girls ready-n-able?" The receptionist looked perplexed. "Ready for what?" "I want a girl,"
the old man rasped. "I wanna get some action." "How old are you, Pop?" she asked. "Ninety-
two," he replied. "Ninety-two? Pop, you've HAD it!" "Oh," said the old man, a little disconcerted
as his trembling fingers reached for his wallet. "How much do I owe you?"
The owner of a golf course in Alabama was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to
ask his blonde secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "You
graduated from the University of Florida. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much
would you take off?" The secretary thought a moment, then replied, "Everything but my
earrings."

office party. "
"MONKEY'S VIEWPOINT"
Three monkey's sat in a coconut tree, Discussing things as they're said to be. Said one to the
others, "now listen, you two" There's a certain rumour that can't be true; That man descended
from our noble race; The very idea is a disgrace. No monkey ever deserted his wife, starved her
babies and ruined her life. And you have never known of a monkey to leave her babies with
others to bunk, or pass them on from one to another, till they scarcely know who their mother is.
And another thing you'll never see, a monkey build a fence around a coconut tree. And let the
coconuts go to waste, forbidding all monkeys a taste; Why, if I put a fence around the tree,
starvation would force you to steal from me! Here's another thing a monkey won't do--- Go out at
night and get in a stew, or use a gun or a club or a knife, To take some other monkey's life. Yes,
man descended, the ornery cuss, But, brother, he didn't descend from us!

Roger went to the doctor and said, "Doctor, I've got a problem, but if you're going to treat it, first
you've got to promise not to laugh." "Of course I won't laugh," the doctor said. "I'm a
professional. In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient." "Okay then," Roger said, and
proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest p*nis the doctor has ever seen. Unable to
control himself, the doctor fell laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later he was able to struggle to
his feet and regain his composure.
"I'm so sorry," he said. "I don't know what came over me. On my honor as a doctor and a
gentleman, I promise it won't happen again.Now what seems to be the problem?"
"It's swollen."
After my husband and I had a huge argument, we ended up not talking to each other for days.
Finally, on the third day, he asked where one of his shirts was. "Oh," I said, "So now you're
speaking to me." He looked confused, "What are you talking about?" "Haven't you noticed I
haven't spoken to you for three days?" I challenged. "No," he said, "I just thought we were
getting along."

The funniest thing about women in bad relationships is that when they catch the no good, lying,
bastard cheating on them... it could be in her own house, in her own bed, whatever... And She

listens to his crap...sometimes believing it!
A city man was tooling down a country road when his car sputtered to a complete stop near a
field filled with cows. The driver, getting out to see what was the matter, noticed one of the cows
looking at him. "I believe it's your radiator," said the cow. The man nearly jumped right out of
his city slicker britches! He ran to the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door. "A cow just
gave me advice about my car!" he shouted, waving his arms franticly back toward the field. The
farmer nonchalantly leaned out beyond the door frame to glance down the field. "The cow with
two big black spots on it?" the farmer asked slowly. "Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man
replied. "Oh. Well, that's Ethel," the farmer said, turning back to the man. "Don't pay any
attention to her. She doesn't know a darn thing about cars."

TACO HELL by Peter Leppik The following is a *true* story. It amused the hell out of me while
it was happening. I hope it isn't one of those "had to be there" things. On my way home from the
second job I've taken for the extra holiday ca$h I need, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to
eat. In my billfold is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure
that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting mad at
me. Me: "Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito please, to go." Server: "Is that it?" Me: "Yep."
Server: "That'll be $1.04, eat here?" Me: "No, it's "TO-GO" [I hate effort duplication]." At this
point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and Server: "Uh,
hang on a sec, I'll be right back." He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within earshot. The
following conversation occurs between the two of them. Server: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
Manager: "No. A what?" Server: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me." Manager: "Ask for
something else, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A $2 BILL." Server: "Yeah, thought so." He
comes back to me and says Server: "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?" Me: "Just
this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?" Server: "I don't know." Me: "See here where it says
legal tender?" Server: "Yeah." Me: "So, shouldn't you take it?" Server: "Well, hang on a sec." He
goes back to his manager who is watching me like I'm going to shoplift. Server: "He says I have
to take it." Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?" Server: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you
can open the safe and get change." Manager: "I'M NOT OPENING THE SAFE WITH HIM IN
HERE." [My emphasis] Server: "What should I do?" Manager: "Tell him to come back later
when he has REAL money." Server: "I can't tell him that, you tell him." Manager: "Just tell
him." Server: "No way, this is weird, I'm going in back." The manager approaches me and says
Manager: "Sorry, we don't take big bills this time of night." [it was 8pm and this particular Taco
Bell is in a well lighted indoor mall with 100 other stores.] Me: "Well, here's a two." Manager:
"We don't take *those* either." Me: "Why the hell not?" Manager: "I think you *know* why."
Me: "No really, tell me, why?" Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security." Me: "Excuse
me?" Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security." Me: "What the hell for?" Manager:
"Please, sir." Me: "Uh, go ahead, call them." Manager: "Would you please just leave?" Me:
"No." Manager: "Fine, have it your way then." Me: "No, that's Burger King, isn't it?" At this
point he BACKS away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have
two people STARING at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect.
A few minutes later this 45 year old-ish guy comes in and says [at the other end of counter, in a
whisper] Security: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?" Manager: "This guy is trying to give me some
[pause] funny money." Security: "Really? What?" Manager: "Get this, a *two* dollar bill."
Security: "Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?" [Incredulous] Manager: "I don't know? He's kinda
weird. Says the only other thing he has is a fifty." Security: "So, the fifty's fake?" Manager: "NO,
the $2 is." Security: "Why would he fake a $2 bill?" Manager: "I don't know. Can you talk to
him, and get him out of here?" Security: "Yeah..." Security guard walks over to me and says
Security: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use." Me: "Uh, no."
Security: "Lemme see 'em." Me: "Why?" Security: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?" At
this point I was ready to say, "SURE, PLEASE," but I wanted to eat, so I said Me: "I'm just
trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this $2 bill." I put the bill up near his face, and he
flinches like I was taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands,
and says Security: "Mike, what's wrong with this bill?" Manager: "It's fake." Security: "It doesn't
look fake to me." Manager: "But it's a **$2** bill." Security: "Yeah?" Manager: "Well, there's
no such thing, is there?" The security guard and I both looked at him like he was an idiot, and it
dawned on the guy that he had no clue. My burrito was free and he threw in a small drink and
those cinnamon things, too. Makes me want to get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what
happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people, I could probably end up in jail.
At least you get free food.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes, was not
above telling tales about himself in which he was the laughing-stock. In one situation, he was
waiting at a taxi stand outside the railway station in Paris. When a taxi pulled up, he placed his
suitcase in the car and took a seat next to it. 'Where can I take you, Mr. Doyle?' asked the taxi
driver. Doyle was flabbergasted. He asked the driver whether he knew him by sight. 'No, sir, I
have never seen you before.' The puzzled Doyle asked him how he knew he was Conan Doyle.
'This morning's paper had a story about you being on vacation in Marseilles. This is the taxi-
stand where people who return from Marseilles always come to. Your skin color tells me you
have been on vacation. The ink-spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you're a
writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French. And so, I deduced that you are Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle.' Doyle remarked, 'This is truly amazing. You are a real-life counterpart to my
fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes.' 'There is one other thing,' the driver said. 'What is that?'
'Your name is on the front of your suitcase.'
"We're tired of being a haven for all these aging hippies and socially inept academics," says the
mayor. "We're part of the midwest, but everyone thinks we're a bunch of granola-eating,
Birkenstock-wearing weenies. We're not! We drink more beer per capita than Chicago, and not
even Milwaukee can touch our bratwurst consumption."
According to sources on the city council, the name change is just the first part of the plan. "Next,
we plan to find a lot of average people, and encourage them to move to Generic."
When asked what they meant by "average", our source replied "Well, currently we're looking for
people with 2.5 kids..."
There was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After some time in the
wilderness he finds a theatre where they are prepared to give him a chance to shine again. The
director says, "This is the most important part, and it has only one line. You walk on to the stage
at the opening carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb,
sniff the rose deeply and then say the line 'Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.'" The actor is
thrilled. All day long before the play, he's practicing his line over and over again. Finally, the
time comes. The curtain goes up, the actor walks onto the stage, and with great passion delivers
the line, "Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress." The theatre erupts. The audience is screaming
with laughter, but the director is steaming! "You half-wit! You bloody fool!" he cries. "You have
ruined me!" The actor is bewildered, "What happened, did I fluff my line?" "No!" screams the
director. "You forgot the bloody rose!"
A priest was walking along the corridor of the parochial school near the preschool wing when a
group of little ones were trotting by on the way to the cafeteria. Little Johnny stopped and looked
at him in his clerical clothes and asked, "Why do you dress funny?" He told him he was a priest
and this is the uniform priests wear. Little Johnny pointed to the priest's plastic collar tab and
asked, "Do you have an owie?" The priest was perplexed till he realized that to him the collar tab
looked like a band-aid. So the priest took it out and handed it to Little Johnny, to show him. On
the back of the tab were raised letters giving the name of the manufacturer. Little Johnny felt the
letters, and the priest asked, "Do you know what those words say?" "Yes I do," said Little
Johnny, who was not old enough to read. Peering intently at the letters he said, "Kills ticks and
fleas up to six months!"
My accountant father and my artist mother have very different views on balancing a checkbook.
Mom usually kept the checkbook, but when Dad retired, he took over all the financial duties. He
was really taken aback when he looked over the checkbook and found only dollar amounts
recorded. It seems Mom hadn't wanted to deal with any more math than she had to, so she'd
eliminated the cents from every check. She'd round up if the partial dollar amounts were 50 cents
or more and drop those under 50 cents. Dad feverishly went through stacks of canceled checks
and registers, trying to correct her method. The difference in seven years of dollars only? Sixteen
cents.
A group of burglars (of a particular hair color) were robbing a bank. One of them pointed a gun
at a teller's head and shouted: "Give me all your money, or you'll be GEOGRAPHY!" The
cashier laughed and said, "You mean H I S T O R Y!" The burglar shouted back, "Don't change
the subject."
Once upon a time... when my family was eating at a KFC, my brother was sent to the counter to
get more honey-mustard sauce for the chicken strips. He was informed that it would be 45 cents
for another little container. Dad gave him the money when he came back to the table for it, and
my brother, about six at the time, took care of the transaction. After everyone was finished
eating... my father, being one who can really make a point and not too happy about the cost of
the fast food meal, sent my same twin brother to the counter to inquire, loudly, "How much are
toothpicks?". The place roared.
One day, a blonde and a brunette were out for a ride in the blonde's new car. Suddenly, some jerk
pulled in front of them. The blonde then put her lips on the steering wheel. The brunette feared
for her life, but had the courage to ask, "What are you doing?!" The blonde calmly replied, "I'm
trying to blow the horn."
MIND GAMES DOGS PLAY WITH HUMANS 1. After your humans give you a bath, DON'T
LET THEM TOWEL DRY YOU! Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself off on the
sheets. This is especially good if it's right before your humans bedtime. 2. Act like a convicted
criminal. When the humans come home, put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down
and act as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the humans frantically search
the house for the damage they think you have caused. (Note: This only works when you have
done absolutely nothing wrong.) 3. Let the humans teach you a brand new trick. Learn it
perfectly. Then the humans try to demonstrate it to someone else, stare blankly back at the
humans. Pretend you have no idea what they're talking about. 4. Make your humans be patient.
When you go outside to go 'pee,' sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the
spot you choose to go pee will ultimately decide the fate of the earth. 5. Draw attention to the
human. When out for a walk always pick the busiest, most visible spot to go 'poo.' Take your
time and make sure everyone watches. This works particularly well if your humans have
forgotten to bring a plastic bag. 6. When out for a walk, alternate between choking and coughing
every time a strange human walks by. 7. Make your own rules. Don't always bring back the stick
when playing fetch with the humans. Make them go and chase it once in a while. 8. Hide from
your humans. When your humans come home, don't greet them at the door. Instead, hide from
them, and make them think something terrible has happened to you. (Don't reappear until one of
your humans is panic-stricken and close to tears). 9. When your human calls you to come back
in, always take your time. Walk as slowly as possible back to the door. 10. Wake up twenty
minutes before the alarm clock is set to go off and make the humans take you out for your
morning pee. As soon as you get back inside, fall asleep. (Humans can rarely fall back asleep
after going outside, this will drive them nuts!)
"Mom, I'm pregnant," announced a teen. "How can that be? What did I tell you about sex?"
asked her mom. "That I should take measures. And that's what I did! I took measures and went
with the biggest."
Of all of the nutty things my crazy country cousins and I did as children, one of the funniest
happened when we were supposed to be grown-up. My oldest cousin got married right out of
college, to a home comming queen. She is a beautiful blond who refers to her father as "My
daddy the colonel". After a brief and sometimes stormy marriage, she left him for a richer man,
his boss. My cousin is not a very good loser, but not being the violent type, it took him a while to
figure out how to avenge his loss. Finally, his chance came when mutual friend of both families
got married. They invited everyone to the wedding, including my cousins ex-wife. She attended,
looking ravishing, driving her boyfriend's new BMW. The whole day she showed off her
engagment ring, bragged about where they planned to go on the honeymoon and generally
rubbed it in my cousin's face. He remained amazingly calm through it all. After the reception we
found out why. While everyone was in the church basement at the reception, he slipped out to
the parking lot and firmly placed a condum over the exaust pipe of the BMW. Later. when
everyone was leaving and his Ex was pulling out in the BMW, waving and smilimg like a float
queen, the condum inflated to giagantic proportions and just as she turned the corner it exploded
with a loud "BANG". She ran the car up on the sidewalk and jumped out, not knowing what had
happened. My cousin rushed over to calm her down, he assured her that it was just a backfire,
but suggested that she have her boyfriend check the exaust pipe when she got home. We spent
the rest of the evening laughing and speculating on the scene of him finding the remains on the
exaust pipe. (Yes Alex Bern, we discussed this in the forum)
A guy goes into a bar and picks up a tall woman. After a night of drinking and dancing they go
back to his place. She unzips his fly and starts playing with his dick. "Wow," he says, "you really
know how to handle a dick!" "I should," she replies, "I used to have one."
The Remote (True Story) Several years ago when my little sister was still in high school. She
was sitting on the couch doing her math homework. She had been working on it for a while,
when she started having some problems figuring the answers in her head. She reached down and
picked up the T.V. remote and started pushing the numbers. After several seconds she realized
what she was doing and laid the remote down hoping no one had seen her. At this point I
couldn't hold the laughter any longer and she knew I had seen. (She is a true blonde and I still
tease her about it to this day.)
Father: Why don't you get yourself a job? Son: Why? Father: So you could earn some money.
Son: Why? Father: So you could put some money in a bank and earn interest. Son: Why? Father:
So that when you're old you can use the money in your account...and you would never have to
work again. Son: I'm not working now.
According to my mom, my dad was with me once when I was a teenager and I had to have an
operation. Pop was watching every move the doctor made. At one point he asked, "What's that?"
The doctor explained, "This is an anaesthetic. After he gets this he won't know a thing." "Save
your time, Doc," Pop explained, "He don't know nothing now."
A farmer and his son were working hard on his barn when a city boy stopped to ask for
directions. After helping the lost driver, the farmer went back to jacking up the small barn while
putting blocks of wood under each corner. The city boy just had to ask, "What are you doing?"
"Well," said the farmer, "My prize mule keeps scraping his ears on the barn each time he goes
through the door and I just can't have that." "Why don't you just dig a little ditch that goes under
the doorway?" The farmer said, "Thanks, I'll think about it" and the driver pulled away. As the
car heads down the road, the farmer turned to his son, "Dumb city slicker. The mule keeps
scraping his ears, not his feet!"
Bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.

BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) - Some Walmart customers soon will be able to sample a new
discount item -- Walmart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with
E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif., to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $6-8
range. While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Walmart brand wine
into their shopping carts, there is a market for cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of
marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important."
So here we go: The top 12 suggested names for Walmart Wine: 12. Chateau Traileur Parc 11.
White Trashfindel 10. Big Red Gulp 9. Grape Expectations 8. Domaine Walmart "Merde du
Pays" 7. NASCARbernet 6. Chef Boyardeaux 5. Peanut Noir 4. Chateau des Moines 3. I Can't
Believe It's Not Vinegar! 2. World Championship Riesling 1. Nasti Spumante
The quickest dental appointment I've ever had was when I sat in the dentist's chair, opened my
mouth and had him exclaim: "WOW! you sure do have a lot of teeth!" You better believe I
grabbed my things and was out the door. Who wants a dentist who's major patients were in the
'Dirty South' and a "lot of teeth" is more than four? He just wouldn't know what to do!!!
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also

(Makes one shudder at the thought. Can anyone think of a faster way
to impotency?)
Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman

The old professor got a job on the railways as a steward one summer, and the first day he
accompanied another steward to learn the ropes. "It's very simple," said his tutor, "just use
diplomacy." "What's diplomacy?" asked the old professor, as that was something he'd never
needed while teaching. "Watch me, I'll show you," said the steward-in-charge. Off they went
down the train corridor, rattling compartment doors, opening them with special keys and offering
tea or coffee. When the tutor steward flung open one door, he was confronted with a buck-naked
woman. Without batting an eyelid he asked, "Tea or coffee, sir?" The surprised woman took the
cup of tea and he shut the door. "Wow, did you see that cutie?" said the old professor excitedly.
"She had no clothes on! But hey, why did you call her 'sir'?" "That's diplomacy! I did not want to
embarrass her," said his tutor. The old professor was most impressed with his teacher. The next
day, on his own now, he flung open a door to a compartment and found a couple making love on
the bed. "Tea or coffee, sir?" "Tea," the man replied. "And for your brother?"
Three Weddings A Jewish father, Moisha, was beset by his eldest son Yitzak... "Father, I am
going to marry!" His father begins to dance with joy and sing Hava Nagila... "Tell me, is she a
good Jewish girl?" says the father. "What is her name?" "O'Brien" replies the son... "She's
Catholic..." "Oy!" says the father.... "But are you happy?" "I'm happy," says the son.. "Ok...as
long as you're happy.... my blessings to you both," replies Moisha. But the father is still counting
on his remaining sons, Schlemiel and Chutzpah... Schlemiel calls on his father the next evening,
"Father... I too will be married soon!" Again, Moisha breaks out in a dance and sings God's
praises... "What is her name," implores the father? "Kazalopodopolous," says the son. "She's
Greek Orthodox..." "Oy," says Moisha... "But are you happy?" "I'm happy, father..." "Ok... then
you, too, have my blessing," intones Moisha... Dejected, Moisha goes to the Temple to pray..
"Please God... let my remaining son Chutzpah marry a nice Jewish girl... to raise nice Jewish
children in your eyes ... PLEASE!" Chutzpah comes to his father excitedly and exclaims,
"Father! I am to wed in the spring!" "Her NAME? WHAT IS HER NAME" his father
immediately demands? "Goldberg!" says Chutzpah! Moisha is beside himself with joy! "Praise
God! Praise the Prophets!" Turning to Chutzpah, he asks, "Is she Doctor Goldberg's daughter
Shelley, from Los Angeles?" "No..." says Chutzpah... "Hmmm," says Moisha... "Must be
Attorney Goldberg's daughter Rachel from Hollywood?" "Ah...no, father" says Chutzpah...
"Well, then, what is her first name, my youngest, truest, most beautiful Son?" "Whoopi." says
Chutzpah.
LOST IN THE PARK: A police car pulls up in front of grandma Bessie's house, and grandpa
Morris gets out. The polite policeman explained that this elderly gentleman said that he was lost
in the park and couldn't find his way home. "Oh Morris", said grandma, "You've been going to
that park for over 30 years! So how could you get lost ? " Leaning close to grandma, so that the
policeman couldn't hear. Morris whispered, "Lost I wasn't.....I was just too tired to walk home."
A client brought a litter of golden retriever puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations and
worming. As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box, I realized it
would be difficult to tell the treated ones from the rest. I turned on the water faucet, wet my
fingers, and moistened each dog's head when I had finished. After the fourth puppy, I noticed my
hitherto talkative client had grown silent. As I sprinkled the last pup's head, the woman leaned
forward and whispered, "I didn't know they had to be baptized.
An elderly married couple scheduled their annual medical examination the same day so they
could travel together. After the examination, the doctor then said to the man: "You appear to be
in good health. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?" "In
fact, I do," said the man. "After I have sex with my wife the first time, I am usually hot and
sweaty. And then, after I have sex with my wife the second time, I am usually cold and chilly."
"This is very interesting," replied the doctor. "Let me do some research and get back to you."
After examining the elderly lady, the doctor said: "Everything appears to be fine. Do you have
any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?" The lady replied that she had no
questions nor concerns. The doctor than asked: "Your husband had an unusual concern. He
claims that he is usually hot and sweaty after having sex the first time with you and cold and
chilly after the second time.... "Do you know why?" "Oh that old buzzard!" she replied. "That's
because the first time is usually in July and the second time is usually in December."
Most popular joke in Germany A general noticed one of his soldiers behaving oddly. The soldier
would pick up any piece of paper he found, frown and say, "That's not it" and put it down again.
This went on for some time, until the general arranged to have the soldier psychologically tested.
The psychologist concluded that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his discharge from the
army. The soldier picked it up, smiled and said, "That's it."
Many years ago I was acting as the system administrator for a test system in a large publicly held
company. Periodically I would receive a call from someone who had not accessed the system
recently, forgot their password and locked themselves out trying to logon. I would look up their
password and unlock the system for them and they would go on their merry way. One day I
received a call from a young lady who was in just such a predicament. I looked up her password
and informed her that it was 'DOME' and, just to be playful, told her the price for me being
gracious enough to unlock her sign-on was an explanation of the meaning of her password. She
became very embarrassed over the phone and pleaded that she could never reveal her secret. I of
course replied that I would not give her system access until she did. After negotiating for several
minutes she finally acquiesced but made me promise to never reveal her password meaning to
any of her colleagues to which I gladly agreed. "Well, what does it mean?", I asked. She
hesitated and then replied, "It's two words." There was pregnant pause. I unlocked her system
and simply said, "Have a nice day".

The company my brother worked for had a phone system that re-routed after-hours calls. If any calls
came in on a certain line while he was working late, Dave knew it would be a wrong number. It got
to the point where as soon as the phone rang, Dave would pick up and say, "Psychic Hotline. I'm
sorry, but you've dialed the wrong number." The caller would often reply with something like, "But I
didn't even ask to speak to anyone yet. How did you know I dialled the wrong.... Oh!" (Click.)

RAPID RESPONSE Working on a small town ambulance, it was not uncommon for my husband
and me to stop at the local grocer to buy food for dinner after a call. I had gone in to get a head
of lettuce and some apples. Unknown to me the floor was wet from the newly installed produce
sprayers. Down I went, hitting my head hard. When I came to, the manager of the store was
sitting beside me telling me not to move, that he had called 911. At the same time my pager went
off and he looked at me and asked, “What was that? I said "My pager, I am 911." He looked at
me, shocked " Boy, you guys are fast!"
Little Billy, and his grandfather entered the vacation cabin, and kept the lights off until they were

coming after us with flashlights...."
"Fascinating," said the psychologist. "It is obvious that this lonely trapper, isolated from
humanity, has elevated this stove so that he can curl up under it and vicariously experience a
return to the womb."
"Nonsense!" replied the engineer. "The man is practicing the laws of thermodynamics. By
elevating his stove, he has discovered a way to distribute heat more evenly throughout the
cabin."
"With all due respect," interrupted the theologian, "I'm sure that hanging his stove from the
ceiling has religious meaning. Fire LIFTED UP has been a religious symbol for centuries."
The three debated the point for several hours without resolving the issue. When the trapper
finally returned, they immediately asked him why he had hung his heavy pot-bellied stove from
the ceiling.
His answer was succinct. "Had plenty of wire, not much stove pipe."
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in
the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that
had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled
many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5,
but installed undesirable programs such as NFL
5.0 and NBA 3.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6
simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but
to no avail.
Desperate
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is
an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and
download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should
then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But
remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy
Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad
program that will create Snoring Loudly. WAV files. Whatever you do, DO NOT install
Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported
applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great
program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications
quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and
performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and
Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,

"Park Bench"
A woman sat down on a park bench, glanced around and decided to stretch out her legs on the
seat and relax. After a while a beggar came up to her and said, "Hello luv, how's about us going
for a walk together." "How dare you," said the woman, "I'm not one of your cheap pickups!"
"Well then," said the beggar, "what are you doing in my bed?"
A very posh lady was walking around an art gallery when she stopped by one particular exhibit.

It comes, as something of a surprise to many Africans to discover that all Africans look the same
to non-Africans... How do you tell a Nigerian from a Kenyan? And I am not talking about
passports or clothing. The easiest way, of course, is the name, for example Ogunkoye",
"Ekwekwe" or "Babangida" can only be a Nigerian, a "Njoroge", "Otieno" or "Kilonzo" must
be from Kenya. Where else would you bump into a name like "Promise", "Immaculate" or
"Patience" other than in Zimbabwe? And where do the Dunns come from? ----- they are surely
from Liberia or Sierra Leone.
Surely everybody knows that the loud, boisterous and cocky ones are the West Africans; the
brooding and sly ones are the North and South Africans; the East Africans always say yes even
when they disagree vehemently. No wonder there have been very few coups in this region.
They have no guts to go against the establishment. They are also the UN's first choice for Peace-
Keeping duties world-wide.
Forget about the Egyptians and Sudanese who change their continents based on which side of the
bread is buttered. When convenient, and the Petro-Dollar is flowing, they masquarade as Arabs.
When the World Bank is dishing out aid to the third-world, they shuffle themselves, cup-in-hand,
jostling for the paltry aid given to poor African countries.
If you want to be more specific, the Cameronians will borrow money to buy Champagne. They
can even sell a hole in their pockets to ape the bourgeois. The Ghanaians think they invented
politics. No Ghanaian worth his salt will conclude a conversation without mentioning the famous
Kwame Nkurumah or quoting a phrase from one of his speeches. Even when ! bargaining at the
Bazaar, a 'Kwame' phrase has a magical effect. The problem is they think that this effect is
worldwide!!! A dukawalla in Bombay was forgiven for thinking "Kwame" was a unit of
currency in Africa!
The Congolese think they have the best music and the best dancers. They have this heavenly
feeling that they were brought into this world to Sing and Dance... and please, for your own
safety, don't you dare challenge that! A Congolese can be spotted from afar by the gait of his
walk.... and it also depends on the mood of the walker: A "Ndo! mbolo" walk is a sign of
happiness (..also means 'I've just had it'); a "Baba Gaston" walk is a sign of old age. The
Nigerians have a THING about clothes and jewellery. They are the Indians of Africa;
you'll always find a Nigerian in any part of the world... there is one c! ontending for Mayorship
somewhere in remote Russia of all the places. There is a Nigerian Police inspector in the
Falklands .... and there is a Nigerian Cashier at the First National Bank of Woolongong....
(somewhere in Australia) I wonder how long he'll be there before he decides to become fluidy

ever seen an ugly Ethiopian Lady?...no, not the post-menopause geriatric one, we are talking
about the under 45 or so..hmm.) We won't talk about the Somalis for the time being as they are
suffering from a severe identity crisis. How else do you explain a Somali holding a Kenyan
Passport saying he was born and raised in "Pand-Pieri" (somewhere in Kisumu) while the same!
gentleman cannot utter the basic general greeting?
Moroccans think they're French and so do the Burkinabes. Algerians hate the French. Sierra
Leonians smile profusely. Liberians can't get over America... they copy everything including
Rambo... no wonder they have Rambo-style rumbles in the jungle. Call it an influence from
Hollywood?
All East and South African countries have more or less the same boring national anthems, but the
South Africans sing it the best. Which other national anthem can make your feet loose control
and do a jig on their own? The South Africans have thick and springy hair; the Zambians and
Kenyans have prominent foreheads.
The Nigerians have thick luscious lips and their females possess some of the widest posteriors.
The West Africans have short memories and never learn from their mis! takes; how many times
are they caught all over the world on drug-related cases yet they continue the trade. How many
times are they going to send those silly chain letters asking for bank accounts and pretending
they are sons of Chief so and so?
The concept of order and discipline must have been invented in East Africa; the words don't exist
in West Africa, especially in Nigeria....does anyone know how many coups that country has
endured?
In athletics, the divisions are easy: from 800m to the marathon the East Africans hold sway; the
West Africans are only good at the sprints. South Africans can only sing. But when it comes to
football (soccer), the North and West Africans dominate the lesser-skilled East and South
African.
AUTHOR: REAL AFRICANS...!!
A man who absolutely hated his wife's cat decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20
blocks from his home and leaving him at the park. As he was nearing home, the cat was walking
up the driveway. The next day, he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away and try the same
thing. As we was driving back into his driveway, there was the cat! He kept taking the cat farther
and farther away, but the darn cat would always beat him home. At last, he decided to drive a
few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right and so on
until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and he left the cat there.
Hours later, the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?" "Yes," the wife answers.
"Why do you ask?" Frustrated, the man answers: "Put that damn cat on the phone. I'm lost and I
need directions!"
"Your honor, " explained the young man, "I'd like to get married, please."
"15? That's too young! Marrying you would be against the law!"
"I see, " said the young man. "Could you try explaining that to the fella next to her with the
shotgun?"
He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past
Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.
And tho' sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,
All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.
He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,
For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.
Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way,
And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.
My older two cousins had been riding for a couple of years when my
youngest cousin and I finally got to, so we were more than ready.
I had been given the care and feeding duties of a beautiful little
dapple grey Arab mare, she and I loved each other, she would run to
me when I came to saddle her and I would always have an apple or
carrot for her. I groomed her every day and she pranced and acted
like she knew how wonderful she looked.
About a month before the event a man who boarded several horses
with my Uncle asked him if his daughter could ride my mare in the
steeple chase, he had purchased a thoroughbred for her and she had
trouble handling it. He had seen me ride the mare and thought she
would be gentle enough for his daughter to handle and his daughter
was set on riding in this steeple chase. My Uncle tried to talk
him out of it but to no avail. I was heart broken, but could do
nothing about it.
The girl, who was a teenager at the time, came out every day and
rode my mare, I still fed and groomed her, but this girl got to
ride her. So I got my Uncle to let me ride her thoroughbred, since
no one was exercising him. My oldest cousin, who was a sad as I
was about the whole thing, talked my Uncle into letting me ride the
thoroughbred in the steeple chase. After watching me ride for a
couple of days he entered me in the same event as the girl riding
my mare.
The preacher said: "There's no such thing as a perfect man. Anybody present who has ever
known a perfect man, stand up." Nobody stood up. "Those who have ever known a perfect
woman, stand up." One demure little woman stood up. "Did you ever know an absolutely perfect
woman?" he asked, somewhat amazed. "I didn't know her personally," replied the little old
woman, "but I have heard a great deal about her. She was my husband's first wife."
The youngest of my three crazy country cousins and I were only a month apart in age, and both
small for our age, He was a cotton- top blond with freckles, a typical Kentucky country boy.
Once when the cousins were at our house he and I were playing in the yard, while I was minding
my little brother for my my mom, when the neighborhood bully happened by with a couple of his
friends. The bully decided to stop and make fun of my cousin's country accent, we tried to ignore
him but he wouldn't stop and finally started throwing rocks at us. One of the rocks hit my little
brother, causing his forehead to bleed profusely. I grabbed my brother up and ran to find mom
and my cousin lit out after the bully. He chased him all the way to his house and ran in after him.
Just as the bully's father stepped into the room to see what was going on, my cousin punched the
bully right in the nose, causing it to spurt blood all over. The man grabbed my cousin and
marched him and his son to our house. When my mom came to the door the red faced man
shouted "Look what your kid did to my son!" My unflappable mom looked back and forth
between my tiny cousin and the bully, who stood a foot taller and easily outweighed my cousin
by 20lbs., patted the man on the arm and said, "I can see why you would be embarassed, but
don't worry, we won't tell anyone.".
The Getaway......
A man walked in to a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Shop, and
asked for all the money in the cash drawer.
Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the
store clerk and worked the counter himself (to get
more money) for three hours until police showed up
and grabbed him.
Too Well-Educated.....
In Medford, Oregon, a 27-year-old jobless man with an
MBA blamed his college degree for his murder of three
People. "There are too many business grads out
there," he said. "If I had chosen another field, then
this may not have happened..."
THE HEARING AID Morris realized he needed to purchase a hearing aid, but he felt unwilling
to spend much money. "How much do they cost?" he asked the salesperson. "That depends," he
said. "They run from $2.00 to $2,000." "Let's see the $2.00 model," said Morris the miser. The
salesperson put the device around Morris' neck. "You just stick this button in your ear and run
this little string down to your pocket," he instructed. "How does it work?" , asked Morris. "For
$2.00 it doesn't work," the salesperson replied. "But when people see it on you, they'll talk
louder."
One summer when I was still in college, I got a job working on a film crew as a gofer. They were
shooting in a job in Oklahoma that summer, in the oil fields out in the boonies. On the flight
there I started to feel sick but just marked it up to motion sickness. Later, however I got so much
worse that my boss took me to the closest hospital, where they admitted me, and decided I had to
have an emergency appendectomy. My boss contacted my parents and I was soon in surgery.
When I woke up I had no idea that I had been placed in the maternity wing, in a 4 bed ward.
They were short of beds and that was the only room they had. Late in the day a young nurses aid
came in to get me up, I was sore and drowsy and resisted. "Come on, now" she said "we'll go see
your baby." "MY BABY" I shouted "I'm not even married, I don't have a baby." She looked
shocked and the other women in the ward started whispering, she said " There now let's don't get
upset, I'll call a nurse to talk to you." Shortly a very kind nurse came in and started asking me
questions that made me realize that she thought I was an unmarried mother. Just when I thought I
was going to completely loose it, my boss arrived. "Well how are you feeling?" she asked "Crazy
as hell" I said, "Get me out of here, before these people give me a baby to take home." When my
boss finally got the whole mess cleared up we had a good laugh about it, well she did, laughing
was tough on my stitches.
A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he
began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept
leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept
hurling things out into the ocean. As our friend approached even closer, he noticed that the man
was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time, was throwing
them back into the water. Our friend was puzzled. He approached the man and said, Good
evening, friend. I was wondering what you were doing." "I'm throwing these starfish back into
the ocean. You see it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have washed up onto shore. If I
don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen." "I understand," my
friend replied, "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. There are simply too many.
And don't you realize that this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down the
coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?" The local native smiled, bent
down and picked up yet another starfish; and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied,"Made a
difference to that one."
I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said
I was doing "fairly well" for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist
asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?" He asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink
beer?" "Oh no," I replied, "I've never done either." Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and
bar-b-qued ribs? I said, "No, I've heard that all "red meat" is very unhealthy!" "Do you spend a
lot of time in the sun, like playing golf?" he asked. "No I don't," I said. He said, "Do you gamble,
drive fast cars, or fool around with sexy women?" "No," I said, "I've never done any of those
things." He look at me and said, "Then why in hell do you want to live to be 80 ??"

Truck driver is barreling down the freeway and sees a sign that warns
of a low bridge ahead. Before he realizes it he is upon the bridge and
becomes firmly stuck under it. Cars back up for miles. Finally a local
police cars arrives. The cop gets out and with hands on hips surveys
the situation. "Got stuck, huh" he says to the truck driver. The truck
driver looks at the cop and with a straight face says, "Naw, I was
delivering the bridge and ran out of gas."
A salesman was testifying in his divorce proceedings against his wife. "Please
describe," said his attorney, "the incident that first caused you to entertain suspicions as
to your wife's infidelity." "Well, I'm pretty much on the road all week," the man testified.
"So naturally when I am home, I'm attentive to the wife." "One Sunday morning," he
continued, "we were in the midst of some pretty heavy lovemaking when the old lady in
the apartment next door pounded on the wall and yelled, 'Can't you at least stop all that
racket on the weekends?'"
SALMON MOUSSE
A housewife was having several couples over for dinner that
night, so she wanted to cook something special. She slaved for
hours that afternoon and finally created a masterpiece. Salmon
mousse. Just before her guests arrived, she caught her cat
nibbling away at the dish on the dining room table. She had
worked so hard that she couldn't throw the mousse away, so she
smoothed it over and served it anyway. Well, the mousse was a
hit. Everyone took seconds or thirds. Proudly she stood to bring
the empty plate out to the kitchen and looked out the window.
There, next to the house, lay her cat. Dead. She had to confess to
her guests that she'd served mousse eaten by the cat and now
the cat was dead. The entire dinner party rushed to the hospital
to have their stomachs pumped. The housewife, who hadn't eaten
any because she knew her cat had, lay in bed--mourning the
passing of her cat and fearing that the same fate could befall her
guests. Then, the phone rang. It was her next door neighbor who
said, "I'm sorry about your cat. I should have told you that I ran
her over but I was just so ashamed and saw that you had a dinner
party in progress....So I just put her on your lawn."

An 85-year-old widow went on a blind date with a 90-year-old man. When she returned to her
daughter's house later that night, she seemed upset. "What happened, Mother?" the daughter
asked. "I had to slap his face three times!" "You mean he got fresh?" "No," she answered... "I
thought he was dead!"
There was an unexpected knock on my door, and like I always do I first opened the peephole and
asked, "Who's there?" "Parcel post, ma'am. I have a package that needs a signature." "Where's
the package?" I asked suspiciously. The deliveryman held it up. "Could I see some ID?" I said,
still not convinced. "Lady," he replied wearily, "if I wanted to break into your house, I'd
probably just use these." And he pulled out the keys I had left in the door.
Weary of constantly picking clothes up from the floor of her son's room, a mother finally laid
down the law: each item of clothing she had to pick up would cost her son 25 cents. By the end

note that read, "Thanks, Mom; keep up the good work!"
My Grandmother, to my knowledge, never drank liquor in her life, at least on purpose. She was a
very gentle and proper lady, a pillar of her church and the community. In those days door to door
salesmen were welcomed, out in the country and none more so than the Watkin's Man. He was
almost regarded as a guest and was frequently invited to eat a meal when he visited with his
wares. He sold all sorts of wonderous things and always left a little gift when he left, such as a
thimble or pot holder. One of his products was an elixir for general health and nervous
conditions. With two of her sons in the service, during WW-2, she was worried and depressed, so
she bought a big bottle of this elixir and took it as directed. Lo and behold she did feel happier,
as a matter of fact she got downright giddy when she took it. So much so that my Mom read the
fine print on the bottle to discover that the stuff was 40% achohol. Alarmed, she told my grampa,
who grinned and said "Now let's just keep this between you and me honey, I'm enjoying your
mother's happy times.".

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was
destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was
captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now
lectures on lessons learned from that experience.
One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up
and said, You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk.
You were shot down!"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb. "I packed your parachute," the man
replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it
worked!" Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here
today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he
might have looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom
trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how
are you?' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor." Plumb
thought of the man hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship,
carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time
the fate of someone he didn't know.
Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute? "Everyone has someone who
provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many
kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical
parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called
on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may
fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has
happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go
through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachute. I am
sending you this as my way of thanking you for your part in packing my parachute!!! And
I hope you will send it on To those who have helped pack yours!
Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word. Maybe
this could explain it: When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do?
You forward jokes. To let you know that you are still remembered, are still important, are still
loved and are still cared for, guess what you get...A forwarded joke.
To all of my friends, let me take this opportunity to thank you for having 'Packed My Chute' each
and every day of our acquaintance. Be good as always & more important, be kind! Once again,
thanks, I am glad you packed my chute!
A 16-year-old girl bought herself a very tiny bikini. She went home and put it on, then showed
her mother how she looked in it. "What do you think mom?" Her mother replied, "I think that if I
had worn that when I was your age, you'd be five years older!"
It was a hot day one August when my mom's cousin had a problem with the electrical system.
Without informing her that he was contacting an electrician, her husband called to have him
come check the breaker box which was in the kitchen closet. He told the electrician that his wife
would not be there so he would have to let himself into the house by the kitchen door. She had a
medical appointment that day and was running late. When she went in to take a shower, she
realized that her only bar of soap was at the kitchen sink. Stark naked she dashed into the kitchen
to grab the bar of soap. Then she heard the milk man coming up the kitchen steps. On hot
summer days he always placed the milk in the refrigerator for her instead of in the little box on
the porch. She knew she did not have time to run back through the kitchen before he would open
the door. So she just stepped into the kitchen closet to await his exit. To her horror the electrician
opened the closet door! At which she blurted, "Oh, no! I thought you were the milk man!"
A guy was sitting in an airplane when another guy took the seat beside him. The new guy was a
wreck, pale, hands shaking, biting his nails and moaning in fear. "Hey, pal, what's the matter?"
said the first guy. "I've been transferred to Los Angeles, California," he answered nervously.
"They've got race riots, drugs, the highest crime rate in the country..." "Hold on," said the first.
"I've been in L.A all my life, and it's not bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work,
mind your own business, enroll your kids in a good school and it's as safe as anywhere in the
world." The second guy stopped shaking for a moment and said, "Oh, thank God. I was worried
to death! But if you live there and say it's ok, I'll take your word for it. By the way, what do you
do for a living?" "Me?" said the first, "I'm a tail gunner on a bread truck."
One night at McChord Air Force Base in Washington, I was dispatched to check out the security
fence where an alarm had gone off. The fence was at the end of the base runway. When I got to
the scene, I found that a raccoon was the culprit, so I ran around and flapped my arms to scare
off the animal. Suddenly an air-traffic controller came over the public-address system and
announces loudly, "Attention to the airman at the end of the runway. You are cleared for
takeoff."
Little Tommy had been to a birthday party at a friends house. Knowing his sweet tooth Tommy's
mother looked straight into his eyes and said, "I hope you didn't ask for a second piece of cake."
"No," replied Tommy, "but I asked Mrs. Smith for the recipe so you could make some like it, and
she gave me two more pieces without me asking."
The Wednesday-night church service coincided with the last day of hunting season. Or pastor
asked who had bagged a deer. No one raised a hand. Puzzled, the pastor said, "I don't get it. Last
Sunday many of you said you were missing because of hunting season. I had the whole
congregation pray for your deer." One hunter groaned, "Well, it worked. They're all safe."
My nursing colleague was preparing an intravenous line for a 15-year-old male patient. The
bedside phone rang, and the boy's mother reached over to pick it up. After talking for a few
minutes, the mother held the phone aside, turned to her son and said, "Your dad is asking if
you've got any cute nurses." The boy gazed at the nurse, who had the needle poised above his
arm, ready for insertion. "Tell him," he replied, "they're absolutely gorgeous."
A teacher was correcting exam papers when he came across Peter's effort: a sheet of paper, blank
apart from his name and "Act II Macbeth. Scene V. Line 28". The teacher reached for his
Shakespeare and turned to Macbeth where he found that the 28th line of the fifth scene of the
second act read, "I cannot do this bloody thing."
An elderly lady on a cruise ship wanders up to the bar and asks for a scotch with two drops of
water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on the cruise to celebrate my 80th
birthday, and it's today." The bartender says "Well, since it's your birthday, this one is on me."
As the woman finishes her drink, the lady to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink too."
The elderly matron says, "Why, thank you. Bartender, I would like a scotch with two drops of
water." "Coming up," says the bartender. As she finishes her drink, the man to her left says, "I
would like to buy you one as well." The lady says, "Thank you. Bartender, I would like another
scotch with two drops of water." "Comin' right up." As he puts the drink down in front of her, he
says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?" The 80
year-old replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you learn how to hold your liquor. Water,
however, is a whole other issue."
Perfect Secretary

"Seen my new secretary?" asked the businessman.
"Yeah," his buddy replied," she's gorgeous."
"Well, she's a Robot, the latest model from Japan."
"Sounds perfect."
"How?"
Sex is:

like me (too good to be true)
A New Mom took her baby daughter to the supermarket for the first time. She dressed her in
pink from head to toe. At the store, she placed her in the shopping cart and put her purchases
around her. At the checkout line a small boy and his mother were ahead of them. The child was
crying and begging for some special treat. He wants some candy or gum and his mother won't let
him have any, she thought. Then she heard his mother's reply. "No!" she said, looking in her
direction. "You may not have a baby sister today. That lady got the last one!"

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another
part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Only the Ten
Commandments." answered the lady
When I picked up my Ford Escort at the service station after some minor repairs, I paid $75 by
check as usual. A couple of weeks later, I came home from work to find my wife quite upset. She
gave me the silent treatment until I figured out why she was so angry. She had noticed the
canceled check and, on the memo line I had written "Escort Service."
A parent decreed one Christmas that she was no longer going to remind her children of their
thank-you note duties. As a result their grandmother never received acknowledgments of the
generous checks she had given. The next year things were different, however. "The children
came over in person to thank me," the grandparent told a friend triumphantly. "How wonderful!"
the friend exclaimed. "What do you think caused the change in behavior?" "Oh, that's easy," the
grandmother replied. "This year I didn't sign the checks."
A daughter, thinking she needed breast enhancement (to be like all her friends), went to her
father and asked to have them done for her sixteenth birthday. The wise father, knowing she was
beautiful just as she was, looked at her, looked in his check book and said; "I'm sorry sweetheart,
but we could only afford to do one right now." The subject never came up again.
I went to a Christmas party the other night and was having a real blast. After I'd been there a few
hours(and several, several drinks), I noticed this fabulous blonde standing over to the side. She
was in her early to mid twenties with beautiful long blonde hair down to her waist. She was built
like a brick, well, anyway she was built. The amazing thing was, she kept staring at me and
smiling. Naturally, being a man, I decided to go try my luck. Like they say, nothing ventured,
nothing gained. I went over and stuck up a conversation with her(don't remember about what, but
it had to be very interesting). Well one thing led to another and she invited me back to her place
and being the gentleman I am, I said OK. I'm not going to go into all the details of the
night(mainly because I don't remember), but I awoke the next morning to the aroma of fresh
coffee and bacon frying. I thought now this is great, I think I might have a keeper here. I got up
and got dressed and headed for the kitchen. When I got there her mom (looked to be in her 80's
or 90's) was standing at the stove. Embarrassed, I stammered where's your daughter? She slowly
turned around with a sly little smile on her face and said, I don't have a daughter.
Last year one of our clients, a bedding company, asked us to shoot a picture of all of their
employees, for their X-mas card. The account exec. decided it would be cute if they all wore
sleepwear in the shot, since they manufacture pillows, comforters, etc.. He also decided to have a
cocktail party for them prior to the photo session. This had all of the trappings of disaster, Eighty
people, in their PJs, after a few drinks, climbing up on a six foot tall riser, draped with cloth.
When they all finally straggled into the studio, I had to shout through a bull horn to get their
attention. I asked them to get on the riser, but before I could warn them that the benches had
open spaces under the drapes, they made a mad dash, to get the best spots. Of course the whole
thing collapsed and I was faced with a mass of cloth and people. Clinging to each other and the
risers, laughing and thrashing around, arms and legs askew, with hair sticking up every where.
Frustrated, I shouted over the bullhorn, "HEY, LOOK AT ME." They did, all at one time and I
snapped the shutter at that exact moment. The account exec. was beside himself, he thought the
account was blown for sure. We reassembled and did some straight shots, but they thought the
disastrous was shot so funny, that they used it, and as a bonus when I, as a joke, sent along a tag
line, they used that too. It read,"Hope your holiday parties are as much fun as ours."
After the birth of their child, an Episcopal priest, wearing his clerical collar, visited his wife in
the hospital. He greeted her with a hug and a kiss, and gave her another hug and kiss when he
left. Later, the wife's roommate commented, "Your pastor is sure friendlier than mine."
THE CHRISTMAS HOBBY HORSE: A grandfather bought a hobby horse by mail order as a
Christmas present for his granddaughter. The toy arrived in 189 pieces. The instructions said that
it could be put together in an hour. It took the old man two days to assemble the toy. Finally,
when it was all put together, he wrote a check, cut it into 189 pieces and mailed it off to the
company
The young couple invited their aged parson for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen
preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having. "Goat," Little Johnny
replied. "Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?" "Yep," said
Johnny "I heard Pa say to Ma, 'Might as well have the old goat for dinner today as any other
day.'"
Unauthorized Activity
This one is a genuine hoot. It was an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries by the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. Wait till you read this guy's
response.......but read the letter before you get to the response........
***************************
Mr. Ryan DeVries 2088 Dagget Pierson, MI 49339 SUBJECT: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023;
T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County Dear Mr. DeVries:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been
recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified
as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity:
Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond.
A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of the Department's
files shows that no permits have been issued. Therefore, the Department has determined that this
activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and
Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to
324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. The Department has been informed that
one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at
downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be
permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location,
and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the
dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31,
2002. Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site
inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further
unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement
action. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free
to contact me at this office if you have any questions. Sincerely, David L. Price District
Representative Land and Water Management Division *******************
This is the actual response sent back........ Dear Mr. Price, Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N;
R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County.
Your certified letter dated 12/17/01 has been handed to me to respond to. First of all, Mr. Ryan
DeVries is not the legal Landowner and/or Contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan. I am
the legal owner and a couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing
and maintaining two wood "debris" dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I
did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended
that you call their skillful use of natures building materials "debris." I would like to challenge
your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I
believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam
resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their
dam work ethic. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill
out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity. My first dam question to you is:
(1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers or (2) do you require all
beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating
against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act, I request completed
copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps we will
see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural
Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections
324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. I have several concerns.
My first concern is - aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers
are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation - so the State will have to
provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the
dams failed during a recent rain event causing flooding is proof that this is a natural occurrence,
which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond
Beavers alone rather than harassing them and calling their dam names. If you want the stream
"restored" to a dam free-flow condition please contact the beavers - but if you are going to arrest
them, they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter, they being unable to read
English. In my humble opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized
dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They have more
dam rights than I do to live and enjoy Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources (Beavers)
and the environment (Beavers' Dams.). So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam
case can be referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2002?
The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice then and there will be no way for you or
your dam staff to contact/harass them then. In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention
to a real environmental quality (health) problem in the area. It is the bears! Bears are actually
defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and
leave the beavers alone. If you are going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your step! (The
bears are not careful where they dump!) Being unable to comply with your dam request, and
being unable to contact you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your
dam office. Sincerely, Stephen L.Tvedten
Here is one story about people shoveling the snow for a parking space in front their house. This
apparently is a problem for the Chicago police every winter. What happens is that somebody will
park in a nearby parking lot, then slave away for how ever many hours it takes to shovel out a
car-sized space in front of his house, naturally so he can park his car there. Then he goes back to
the lot to get his car. When he returns home, he finds that the space has been taken by some other
car. He is, well, upset. What most people do is write nasty notes etc. and place them on the
windshield of the offending vehicle. Where the police get involved, however, is the occasional
case where the individual vents his wrath in somewhat more violent means. Tires and throats
have been slashed over this. One time a fellow got creative. Instead of doing the usual nasty, he
got out his garden hose and watered the automobile down, real well. I mean, very, very
thoroughly. The water, of course, froze solid. When the owner returned, instead of a car, he
found a car-sized Popsicle. The note on the car read: "You want the space? Here, it's yours until
spring!
Even if you're not a grandparent you will enjoy this. A teacher asked her young pupils how they
spent their vacation. One child wrote the following: We always spend our vacation with
Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live here in a big, brick house, but Grandpa got retarded
and they moved to Florida and now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people. They
live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on big
tricycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a
building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all right now. They
play games and do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool
too, but they all jump up and down in it with their hats on. I guess they don't know how to swim.
At their gate there is a dollhouse with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody
can escape. Sometimes they sneak out. Then they go cruising in their golf carts. My grandma
used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out.
And they eat the same thing every night: Early Birds. Some of the people can't get past the man
in the dollhouse to go out, so the ones who get out bring food back to the wrecked center and call
it pot luck. My Grandma says Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I
should work hard so I can be retarded one day, too. When I earn my retardment I want to be the
man in the dollhouse. Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren
When Andrea was planning her upcoming wedding, she asked to wear her mother's wedding
dress. She went to try it on and the gown was a perfect fit on her petite frame. As her mother's
eyes welled up with tears, Andrea put an arm around her. "You're not losing a daughter", she
reminded her mother in time-honored fashion, "you're gaining a son." "Oh forget about that!"
said her mother with a sob. "I used to fit into that dress!"
My husband and I were at the movies recently, when a middle aged couple sat down in front of
us. The man was complaining about being stuffed from dinner and his wife whispered, "Just
loosen your belt a little." He loosened his belt and apparently also undid his button. About half-
way through the movie, a rather large lady, seated on the other side of the couple got up to go out
and when the man stood to let her pass he realized that his zipper had opened, so he attempted to
pull it up while he was standing. When he did the zipper caught on the lady's dress. This caused
her to stop when she felt the tug and she hissed "What are you doing? Let go of me!" He, being
afraid her dress would tear, grabbed her arm and said "Wait, don't move!" Now the lady got a
little louder "LET ME GO!" she cried. This got his wife's attention and she chimmed in, "Harry,
what are you doing, have you lost your mind, let her go!" At this point the lady started jerking at
her dress, causing poor Harry's pelvis to jump forward in a most provocative way. Right at this
moment a movie employee had arrived and spotlighted the scene with a flashlight. There stood
Harry, his belt flopping, his fly unbuttoned, with his pelvis tight against the lady's butt. I could
hear him trying to explain all the way up the aisle, as he shuffled along behind the distraught
lady, with his poor wife in tears following along. I understand they eventually got the whole
mess straightened out, but I was laughing so hard that I couldn't get it under control and had to
leave. Good thing I had read the book.
Looking in the mall for a cotton nightgown, I tried my luck in a store known for its hot lingerie.
To my delight, however, I found just what I was looking for. Waiting in the line to pay, I noticed
a young woman behind me holding the same nightgown. This confirmed what I suspected all
along: despite being over 50, I still have a very "with it" attitude. "I see we have the same taste,"
I said proudly to the 20- something behind me. "Yes," she replied. "I'm getting this for my
grandmother."
A police officer pulls over this guy who's been weaving in and out of the lanes. He goes up to the
guy's window and says, ... Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyser tube. The man says, ...
Sorry, officer, I can't do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that, I'll have a really bad asthma
attack. ... Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample. ... I can't do
that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I'll bleed to death. ... Well, then, we need a urine
sample. ... I'm sorry, officer, I can't do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that, I'll get really
low blood sugar. ... All right, then I need you to come out here and walk this white line. ... I can't
do that, officer. ... Why not? ... Because I'm drunk
I needed some supplies from a Sunday school cupboard that was seldom used and was secured
with a lock. I didn't know the combination, but our clergyman offered to give it a try. Father Jack
placed his fingers on the lock's dial and raised his eyes heavenward for a moment. Then he
confidently spun the dial and opened the lock. Seeing how impressed I was with this
demonstration of faith, he smiled and confided, "The numbers are written on the ceiling."
The year is 1902 , one hundred and 1 years ago... what a difference a
century makes. Here are the U.S. statistics for 1902....
A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.
There were only 8,000 cars in the US and only 144 miles of paved
roads.
The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee cost fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg
yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country
for any reason.
The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii
and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at
corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the
complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and the
bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health."
There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire US.
Just think what it will be like in another 100 years. It boggles the
mind
I've always ordered beverages one simple way: "A Coke, please."
Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses now often respond,
"I'm sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mr.
Pibb."
Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I thought I'd make life easier.
So one day I simply asked the snack bar clerk at a movie theater for a
"dark, carbonated beverage."
The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Sir, would you like
a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"
When the wise company president learned that his employees were tanking up on no-trace vodka
martinis during their lunch hours, he issued the following memo: To all employees; If you must
drink during you lunch hours, please drink whiskey. It is better for our customers to know you're
drunk than to think you're stupid.
Two Very Good Questions..... Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8
kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had
syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion? Read the next question before
scrolling down to the answer of this one. Question 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and
your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates: Candidate A: Associates
with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain
smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. Candidate B: He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps
until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky every evening. Candidate C: He
is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't
had any extramarital affairs. Which of these candidates would be your choice? (Decide first, no
peeking, then scroll down for the answer).
And by the way: Answer to the abortion question if you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone...and remember,
Amateurs built the ark .... Professionals built the Titanic
Someone in our neighborhood put a huge sofa out by the curb for trash collection. Since it was in
good shape, many motorists slowed down for a look. But when they saw how enormous it was,
they'd leave. Eventually a compact car pulled up, and two men got out. "This I've got to see," I
thought. They removed the cushions, turned the sofa upside down, and shook it hard. Then they
picked up all the coins that tumbled out and drove off.
I had forgotten to get my estrogen patch prescription refilled, and soon the symptoms of
menopause - hot flashes, forgetfulness, irritability - returned. At the drugstore, I found myself
telling the pharmacist all about my problems. After listening patiently, he asked, "So, how many
people asked you to get this refilled?"
It's time once again to consider the candidates for the 2003 Stella Awards. The Stella's are named
after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonalds.
That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most uniquely successful lawsuits in the United
States for last year. Actually, joint awards should be given to the plaintiff attorneys and the
flaming idiots on the juries who awarded anything at all to these morons--who deserved
NOTHING!!!! The following are this year's candidates:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after
breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners
of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little
toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.
A 19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his
neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was
someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by
way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door
opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't reenter the house because the door connecting the house
and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found
himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large
bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him
undue mental anguish. The jury agreed, to the tune of $500,000.
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being
bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its
owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have
been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it repeatedly with a
pellet gun.
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a
neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two
front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies
room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.
This year's favorite could easily be Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr.
Grazinski purchased a brand new 32- foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home,
having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers
seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the RV left the
freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the
owner's manual that he couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new
motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case
there were any other complete morons buying their recreation vehicles.
In 1990 a woman entered a Haagen-Dazs in the Kansas City Plaza for an ice-cream cone. While
she was ordering, another customer entered the store. She placed her order, turned and found
herself face to face with Paul Newman. He was in town filming a movie. His blue eyes made her
knees buckle. She finished paying and quickly walked out of the store, her heart still pounding.
Gaining her composure she suddenly realized she didn't have her cone; she turned to go back in.
At the door she again came face-to-face with Paul Newman who was coming out. He said to her,
"Are you looking for your ice-cream cone?" Unable to utter a word she nodded yes. "You put it
in your purse with your change."
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home
from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to
myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow
afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his
books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I
saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible
sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his
glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks.
They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on
his face.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me,
so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before
now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I
carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play
a little football with my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to
know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him
and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books
everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to
think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we
would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor,
and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to
prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He
looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled
out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked
him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those
looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
"Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those
who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings,
maybe a coach...but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to
someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had
planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his
Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me
from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his
weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a
person's life. For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.
You now have two choices, you can: 1) Pass this on to your friends or 2) Delete it and act like it
didn't touch your heart.
As you can see, I took choice number 1. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our
wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you
consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.
Dumb is Good
A long, long, time ago, when I was 19 or 20, I went to a bar with an older friend. The guy at the
door asked for my ID. I gave him my driver's license, which of course had my date of birth
printed on it. He looked at it and said, "You have to be 21 to get in here." I replied, "That ID is a
few years old." He looked at it again for a moment, then said, "Oh, OK" and let me in.

34. You can send this to males and not have to worry about them being offended.
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her
adult's class. After exploring the commandment to "honor thy father and thy
mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat
our spouses?" Without missing a beat one older man answered, "Thou shall
not kill."
10. When they ask "How are you today?" Tell them! "I'm so glad you asked
because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my
arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died..."
9. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their
name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is
located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their
company for as long as necessary.
8. Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you
been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of pause as she
tries to figure out where the h-l she could know you from.
7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan,
reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends ....would
you be my friend?"
6. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and
you could sure use some money.
5. Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they
could bring you a case of beer and some chips.
4. After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When
they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit card
number to a complete stranger.
3. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they
will give you their HOME phone number so you can call them back. When the
telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their HOME number, you say
"I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The
telemarketer will agree and you say, "Now you know how I feel!" Say good
bye - and Hang up.
2. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on
Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?"
1. And first and foremost: Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want
to write EVERY WORD down.
There was once an Indian man called Raju who was

>for the nurse to tell him what had happened to him. "I'm very sorry, sir, but

We received the following message from the UK which is very interesting but will it work? We
are willing to give it a go - how about you? The price of petrol has gone up by Ksh 2 in the last 3
months! We are now paying almost Ksh 62 per litre up from Kshs 54 last year!!!! This is
preposterous, but we can do something about it.
We are going to hit close to Ksh 80 a litre by the summer, or it may be even higher. Would you
rather petrol prices came down instead? We need to take some intelligent, united action!!!
Philip Hollsworth, offered this good idea, and it makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't
buy petrol on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April/May! The oil companies
just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt ourselves" by refusing to
buy petrol. It was more inconvenient to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever
thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read it and join in!
PLAN
Now that the oil company cartels and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the
cost of a litre is CHEAP at 77p -80p, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that
BUYERS control the market, not sellers. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we
consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down
is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol!
And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves either. Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year (or until the desired effect is achieved),
DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one), MOBIL
and BP/SHELL. If they are not selling any petrol, they will quickly reduce their prices. If they
reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally MILLIONS of Mobil and BP/Shell petrol
buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't wimp out at this point...keep reading and we will
explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! We are sending this note to a lot of people.
If each of you sent it to at least ten more, then 30 x 10 = 300... and those 300 send it to at least
ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches only the sixth
generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three
million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been
contacted! If it goes one level further, yes - you're right... .. THREE HUNDRED MILLION
PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to a minimum of 10 people. That's all (and NOT buy your
petrol at MOBIL/BP/SHELL). How long will all this take? - if everyone sends this email out to
ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
contacted within the next 8 days!!! We will bet you didn't think you had that much potential, did
you! Acting together we CAN DEFINITELY make a difference. If this makes sense to you
please, please pass this message on NOW.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEIR PRICES GO BELOW SHS. 55/= A LITRE. (They would
still make a healthy profit at these prices).
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Caltex, Total etc.-
i.e. boycott BP/Shell and Mobil.

Le président de la séance, un Belge, met la motion aux voix. Au premier tour du vote, une dame
s’abstient. Pareillement au 2ème tour. Au troisième tour, le président ne daigne même pas donner
à Madame la possibilité de voter.
Madame s’insurge.
Le président s’étonne:
“ Mais Madame, je vous ai sauté la première fois, je vous ai sauté la deuxième fois et cette fois-

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied,
"When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water
glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous
and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:
1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J. C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey,don't say he was stoned off his
ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my
body." He did not say "Eat me"
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry,"
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not:
Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at
St. Taffy's.
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here
are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to
ask, What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit
around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And
it's usually something more interesting.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know
what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins
to a woman over 40. They always know.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off
you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to
wonder where you stand with her....
Their chief complaint was that the walls were paper-thin and that
they had no privacy. This was painfully obvious when one morning
the husband was upstairs and the wife was downstairs on the
telephone. She was interrupted by the doorbell and went to greet
her neighbor.
The old Chief finally retired from the Navy and got that chicken
ranch he always wanted. He took with him his lifelong pet parrot.
First morning at 04:30, the parrot squawked and said, "Off yer
hocks and don yer socks. Reveille"
The old chief told the parrot, "we are no longer in the Navy. Go
back to sleep." The next morning, the parrot did the same thing.
The old Chief told the parrot, "Look, if you keep this up, I will
put you out in the chicken pen."
Again the parrot did it, and true to his word, the Chief put the
parrot in the chicken pen. About 06:30, the Chief was awakened by
one heck of a ruckus in the chicken pen. He went out to see what
was the matter.

The farmer simply replied, "They're lookin' to get married, so you came to the
right place. Look 'em over and pick the one you want."
So they were wed right away.Months later the baby was born.
When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was
the ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He
rushed to his father-in-law asking how such a thing
could happen considering the beauty of the parents.
Peter; "I'm sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right
back."
Teacher; "That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word
'bathroom' at the dinner table."
"And you, Little Johnny, are you able to use your intelligence for
Once and show us your good manners?"
Johnny; "Yes. I would say, 'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment?
I Have to go and shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope
you'll get to meet after supper."
"I should be in charge," said the brain , "Because I run all the

on Scottish whisky,
on Japanese motorcycles;
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Pakistan lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
Finally, the guys side of the story. I must admit, it's pretty good.
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are the rules!
(Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!)
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.. We need it up, you need
it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do
not work!
Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or
angry,
we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as
baseball,
the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight,
but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.
Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh!!

THE DONKEY
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for
hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal
was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to
retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel
and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was
happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished
at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would
shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily
trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of
the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a
steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never
giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
You have two choices...smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else

I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say.
Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might
break your heart...if you don't, you might break theirs.
It does it on its own.... when you least suspect it, or even when you
don't want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had,
but that other perso n was too afraid to let you?
Too many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care too
much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even
at all.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear
of rejection was too hard to handle?
But every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger.
*What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say
good-bye?
*What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would
never be there?
*What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you
never got to tell them how you felt?
(even if it is that you don't care anymore)
*What would you do if you loved someone
more than ever and you couldn't have them?
*What would you do if you never got the chance to say I am friends
with all of my family and they know I love them?
I look up to you,
respect you, and
truly cherish you.
know you
Let old friends
haven't forgotten them,
never will.
A man wanted to determine if both his wife and mistress were faithful to him. So he decided to
send them on the same cruise, then later question each one on the other's behavior. When his
wife returned, he asked her about the people on the trip in general, then casually asked her about
the specific behavior of the passenger he knew to be his mistress.
"She slept with nearly every man on the ship," his wife reported.
The disheartened man then arranged a meeting with his cheating mistress to ask her the same
questions about his wife.
"She was a real lady," his mistress said.
"How so?" the encouraged man asked.
"She came on board with her husband and never left his side."
In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their
family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and
somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the
worried faces.
"The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.
It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain
yourselves."
The family members sat silently as they absorbed the news. After a great
length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?" The
doctor quickly responded, " R5,000 for a male brain, and R200 for a female
brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye
contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control
his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the
male brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire
group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price
of the female brains, because they've actually been used, the male brains
are hardly ever used by the owners. so they are as good as new"

Men love to have wives who let them be and who never ask questions. What
men don't know is that the moment a woman stops asking she has merely
stopped caring. Either her attention is on someone else or she is
working on plan B.
A newly married girl said she admires our marriage, she said 'You two
love each other' and i told her for a marriage to work, 'IT takes TWO.'

A little boy came down for breakfast one morning and asked his grandma,
"Where's Mom and Dad?" And she replied, "They're up in bed." The little boy
started to giggle and ate his breakfast and went out to play. Then he came
back in for lunch and asked his grandma, "Where's Mom and Dad?" And she
replied,"They're still up in bed." Again the little boy started to giggle
and he ate his lunch and went out to play.
Then the little boy came in for dinner and once again he asked his grandma,
"Where's Mom and Dad?" And his grandmother replied, "They're still up in
bed." The little boy started to laugh and his grandmother asked, "What
gives? Every time I tell you they're still up in bed you start to laugh!
What is going on here?"
The little boy replied, "Well, last night Daddy came into my bedroom and
asked me for the Vaseline and I gave him super glue!" He must have got
himself stuck somewhere in his room. Grandma fainted.
A young husband comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around

" I'm a month overdue. I think we're going to have a baby! The doctor gave
me a test today, but until we find out for sure, we can't tell anybody."
The next day, a guy from the electric company rings the door-bell, because
the young couple hasn't paid their last bill:
"Just calm down," says the clerk, "it's nothing serious. All you have to
do is pay us."
"PAY you? and if I refuse?"
"Well, in that case, sir, we'd have no option but to cut yours off."
This is supposedly a true story from the Word Perfect help line.
Needless to say the help desk employee was fired; however, the person is

"Questions"
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for
over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they
both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How
can this be?
3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put
all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any
dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?
4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray
when you throw it away?
5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the ice in
the barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which
jug.
6. The letter "e," which is the most common letter in the English
language, does not appear once in the long paragraph

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where a
woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the
entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit
the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the
shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . .. you
may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go
up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men
have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the
Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the
Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks,
but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men
have job s, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and
help with the housework "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly
stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These
men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous,
help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the
sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men
on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
impossible to please! Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
Please send this to all men for a good laugh and to all the women who
can handle the truth!

Wood heat is not new. It dates back to a day millions of years ago,
when a group of cavemen were sitting around, watching dinosaurs rot.
Suddenly, lightning struck a nearby log and set it on fire. One of the
cavemen stared at the fire for a few minutes, then said: "Hey! Wood
heat!" The other cavemen, who did not understand English, immediately
beat him to death with stones. But the key discovery had been made,
and from that day forward, the cavemen had all the heat they needed,
although their insurance rates went way up.

If the colleges were better, if they really had it, you would need to
get the police at the gates to keep order in the inrushing multitude.
See in college how we thwart the natural love of learning by leaving
the natural method of teaching what each wishes to learn, and insisting
that you shall learn what you have no taste or capacity for. The
college, which should be a place of delightful labor, is made odious
and unhealthy, and the young men are tempted to frivolous amusements to
rally their jaded spirits. I would have the studies elective.
Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure
interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by
opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for
himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for
boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
STRESS
I am not sure exactly how it works, but this is amazingly accurate. Read the full description
before looking at the picture.
The picture below has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at St.
Mary's Hospital.
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored,
scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under
stress would find differences in the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between
the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.
Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may want to take a
vacation.

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for
six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all
homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of
'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send
cards out on time--no emailing.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist
appointment and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent
Care.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting
flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores
are done.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn himself with jewelry,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished and eyebrows
groomed.
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps,
back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain
or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to
spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed
them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to
know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe
size, clothes size and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time
of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite
snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want
to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only
if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the
next 18-25 years eventually earning the right to be called Mother!
After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you think will get a
kick out of it and as many men as you think can handle it. Just don't send it back
to me....

"Nothing."I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me
and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving. I can't explain
his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love u, too."
When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.
He just sat there and watched TV.; he seemed distant and absent. Finally I decided to go to bed.
About 10 minutes later he came to bed. I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to
confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.
I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his
thoughts are with someone else.
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal,
where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2 People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote
because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3 When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. Damn right! What good is
cake if you can't eat it?
4 When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why the hell would you
keep
looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their
asses!
5 When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the
cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6 People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'....
Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been
anything
before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came

LES 3 PASSOIRES
- Les 3 passoires?
C'est ce que j'appelle le test des 3 passoires. La première passoire est celle de la vérité. As-tu
vérifié si ce que tu veux me dire est vrai?
Essayons de filtrer autrement en utilisant une deuxième passoire, celle de la bonté. Ce que tu
veux m'apprendre sur mon ami, est-ce quelque chose de bon ?
- Ah non ! Au contraire.
- Donc, continua Socrate, tu veux me raconter de Mauvaises choses sur lui et tu n'es même pas
certain si elles sont vraies. Tu peux peut-être encore passer le test, car il reste une passoire, celle
de l'utilité. Est-il utile que tu m'apprennes ce que mon ami aurait fait ?
Alors, conclut Socrate, si ce que tu as à me raconter n'est ni vrai, ni bien, ni utile, pourquoi
vouloir me le dire ?'
A doctor was having an affair with his Italian-born nurse. Eventually, she became pregnant by
him. Not wanting his wife to find out, he gave the nurse some money and asked her to go to Italy
and have the baby there. "But how will I let you know when the baby is born?" she asked.
He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of all the
child's expenses."
Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy. Six months went by
and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office, "Dear, you received a very strange
postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means."
The doctor said, "Just wait until I get home, and I will explain it to you."
Later that evening the doctor came home, read the postcard, and fell to the floor with a heart
attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He
asked her what she thought might have caused the cardiac arrest. The wife picked up the card
and read it to him: "Four Spaghettis: Two with sausage and meatballs, two without."

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year,
due to the serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a
willful malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the
reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.
This defect has been technically termed, "Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality," or more
commonly known as SIN, as it is primarily expressed.
The Manufacturer, Who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory
authorised repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect.
The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the
staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The toll free number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please
upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download
ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big
or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
[a] Love
[b] Joy
[c] Peace
[d] Patience
[e] Kindness
[f] Goodness
[g] Faithfulness
[h] Gentleness
[i] Self-control
Please see the operating manual, HOLY BIBLE, for further details on the use of these fixes. As
an added upgrade, the manufacturer has made available to all repaired units a facility enabling
direct monitoring and assistance from a resident Maintenance Technician, the Holy Ghost.
Repaired units need only make Him welcome and He will take up permanent residence on the
premises!
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids the
Manufacturer's warranty, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will
result in the human unit being permanently impounded.
For free emergency service, call on JESUS.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped
in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent
contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention. Please assist where possible by
notifying others of this important recall notice.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw.
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

Black Girl and a stranger was seated next to a little black girl on the airplane when the stranger
turned to her and said, Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation
with your fellow passenger The little girl, who had just opened her coloring book, closed it
slowly and said to the stranger, What would you like to talk about? Oh, I don't know, said the
stranger. Since you are a Negro, do you think that So-called President Elect Barak Obama is
qualified for the job? and he smiles. OK she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me
ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass -. Yet a deer
excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried
grass. Why do you suppose that is? The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, Hmmm, I have no idea; To which the little girl replies. Do you really
feel qualified to discuss President Barak Obama...when you don't know sh*t? Jacob Kona

mourn so? Deeply? A child? A parent?"The mourner took a moment to collect
himself, then replied "My wife's first husband."

A couple came upon a wishing well. The husband
leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny.
The wife decided to make a wish, too. But she
leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The husband
was stunned for a while but then smiled " It really works ! "
Illuminated by Blindness
By Author Unknown
There was a blind girl who hated herself because
she was blind. She hated everyone, except her
loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She
told her boyfriend, "If I could only see the world, I
will marry you."
He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will
you marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend
and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed
eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The
thought of looking at them the rest of her life led
her to refuse to marry him.
