THE SENSITIVE MAN.
A woman meets a gorgeous man in
a bar. They talk, they connect, and they end up leaving together. They get back
to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that his
bedroom is completely packed with sweet cuddly teddy bears. Hundreds of cute
small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, cuddly medium-sized ones on
a shelf a little higher, and huge enormous bears on the top shelf along the
wall.
The woman is surprised that this
guy would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive,
but she decides not to mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by
his sensitive side. She turns to him... they kiss... and then they rip each other's
clothes off and go to bed.
After an intense night of
passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together afterwards, the
woman rolls over and asks, smiling, "How was it for you?"
He
replies, " Just take a prize from the bottom shelf".

POLICE DOG
A man was walking his dog one
day, when he decided to stop in at a bar and have a few. He was in there
enjoying some beers, then a Police officer strolled in and asked who's dog that
was tied up out front.
The man said, "its
mine". Well the cop replied " did you know your dog is in heat"
The man said " na, I tied her up in the shade" the cop said " no
I mean she needs to be bred" ."no", replied the man " fed
her before I left home" "No asshole" the cop said " she
needs to be fucked"
Then the
man replied, " Go ahead, I always wanted a police dog"
PEANUT IN EAR
One evening a man was at home watching TV and eating peanuts. He'd
toss them in the air, then catch them in his mouth. In the middle of catching
one, his wife asked a question, and as he turned to answer her, a peanut fell
in his ear. He tried and tried to dig it out but succeeded in only pushing it
in deeper. He called his wife for assistance, and after hours of trying they
became worried and decided to go to the hospital.
As they were ready to go out the door, their daughter came home
with her date. After being informed of the problem, their daughter's date said
he could get the peanut out. The young man told the father to sit down, then
proceeded to shove two fingers up the father's nose and told him to blow hard.
When the father blew, the peanut flew out. The mother and daughter
jumped and yelled for joy. The young man insisted that it was nothing and the
daughter brought the young man out to the kitchen for something to eat.
Once he was gone the mother turned to the father and said,
"That's so wonderful! Isn't he smart? What do you think he's going to be
when he grows older?"
The father replied "From the smell of
his fingers, our son in-law."
NELSON MANDELA
Nelson Mandela is at home watching TV when there is a knock at the
door. A Japanese deliveryman is clutching a clipboard, pointing to a truck full
of car exhausts in the driveway and yelling: "you sign, you sign."
The bewildered president will do no such thing and slams the door.
The next day, the man is back, waving a clipboard under the great man's nose,
gesturing to a truckload of brake pads and insisting: "you sign, you
sign."
Nelson gets rid of the man again, but next day he's back with two
truckloads of car parts, once again insisting that the president sign for the
goods.
Mandela loses his temper and yells: "look, I don't want
these. Do you understand? You have the wrong name."
Puzzled, the Japanese man consults his
clipboard and asks: "You not Nissan Maindealer?
A REALLY BIG JIGSAW PUZZLE
John gets a call from his blonde
girlfriend, Buffy.
"I've got a problem,"
says Buffy.
"What's the matter?"
asks John.
"Well, I've bought this
jigsaw puzzle, but it's too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can't
find any edges."
"What's the picture
of?" asks John.
"It's of a big Rooster,"
replies Buffy.
"All right," says
John, "I'll come over and have a look."
So he
goes over to Buffy's house and Buffy greets him saying, "Thanks for coming
over." Buffy leads John into her kitchen and shows him the jigsaw on the
kitchen table. John looks at the jigsaw and then turns to Buffy and says,
"For Pete's sake - put the Cornflakes back in the Box."
ISOLATION
Dick has been in the computer
business for 25 years in Chicago, and is finally sick of the stress. He quit
his job, and bought 50 acres of land in the mountains as far from humanity as
possible. He sees the postman once a week, and gets his groceries once a month.
Otherwise, it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, he's finishing
dinner when someone knocks on his door. He opens it, and there is a big bearded
mountain man standing there.
"Name's Enoch... Your neighbour from four miles over the
ridge. Having a party Saturday... thought you'd like to come."
"Great !" says Dick. "After six months of this, I'm
ready to meet some local folks. Thank You."
As Enoch is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn ya', there's
gonna' be some drinkin."
"Not a problem. After 25 years in the computer business, I
can drink with the best of them."
Again, as he starts to leave, Enoch stops. "More 'n likely
gonn'a be some fightin' too."
Damn, Dick thinks. Tough crowd. "Well, I get along with
people. I'll be there. Thanks again."
Once again, Enoch turns from the door. "I've seen some wild
sex at these parties too!"
"Now, that's NOT a problem!" says Dick. "Remember,
I've been alone for six months now. I'll definitely be there. By the way, what
should I wear ?"
Enoch stops at the door again and says,
"Whatever you want. Just gonna be the two of us."
FUNERAL
A man was leaving a Coffee shop
with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession
approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second
hearse about 50 feet behind. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man
walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind him were 200 men walking in single file.
The guy couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached
the man walking the dog and said: "Sir, I know now is a bad time to
disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is
it?" The man replied: "Well, that first hearse is for my wife."
"What happened to her?"
The man replied: "My dog attacked and killed her."
He inquired further: "Well, who is in the second
hearse?"
The man answered: "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help
my wife when the dog turned on her."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two
men.
"Sir, could I borrow that dog?"
PET FROG
A woman went into a pet shop to buy her husband a pet. After
looking around she realized that all the pets there were too expensive. She
went to the counter and questioned the clerk. "I wanted to buy my husband
a pet, but all of yours are so expensive,"
"Well," said the clerk, "I have a huge bullfrog in
the back for $50.00.Would you like to see it?"
"50? For a frog?" asked the woman.
The clerk said, "It's a special frog. It gives blow
jobs."
The woman did not particularly enjoy giving head, so she thought
this was a heck of a deal. She'd get her husband a gift he'd surely enjoy, and
she'd never have to do that again. The woman decided to buy the frog. She took
it home to her husband and explained the strange gift. Of course, the husband
was a bit sceptical, but said he'd try it out for sure that night.
The woman went to bed that night relieved knowing she'd never have
to give another blow job. Around two in the morning, she woke up to hear pots
and pans banging around in the kitchen. She got up to go see what was going on.
When she got to the kitchen, she saw her husband and the frog, sitting at the
kitchen table looking through cookbooks. "What are you two doing at this
hour?" asked the woman.
The husband looks up at her and says,
"If I can teach this frog to cook, your ass is outta here!"
RADAR HAZARD
Item in Berwickshire Gazette - November 11th
A report has revealed that two traffic patrol officers from North
Berwick were involved in an unusual incident whilst checking for speeding
motorists on the A1road between Oldhamstocks and Grantshouse.
Last May, they were using a hand-held radar device to trap unwary
motorists on the Edinburgh to London trunk road. One of the unnamed officers
used the device to check the speed of an approaching vehicle, and was surprised
to find that his target had registered a speed in excess of 300 miles per hour.
The £5000 machine then seized up and could not be re-set by the
bemused PC`s. The radar had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado aircraft in
the North Sea, which was taking part in a simulated low-flying exercise over
the Borders and Southern Scotland.
Following a complaint by Sir William Sutherland, Chief Constable
of the Lothian & Borders Police force to the RAF liaison office, it was
revealed that the officers had a lucky escape - the tactical computer on board
the aircraft not only detected and jammed the "hostile" radar
equipment, but had automatically armed a Sidewinder air-to-ground missile ready
to neutralise the perceived threat. Luckily the Dutch pilot was alerted to the
missile status and was able to override the automatic protection system before
the missile launched.
The Police have so far declined to comment,
although it is understood that officers will be advised to point their radar
guns inland in future.
SMOKING NUNS
Two nuns were in back of the
convent smoking cigarettes, when one said, "It's bad enough that we have
to sneak out here to smoke, but it really is a problem getting rid of the
cigarette butts so that Mother Superior doesn't find them."
The second nun said, "I've
found a marvellous invention called the condom, which works really well for
this problem. You just open the packet up, take out the condom, and put the
cigarette butt in, roll it up, and dispose of it all later!" The first nun
was quite impressed and asked where she could find them.
"You get them at the drug store,
sister, just go and ask the pharmacist for them."
The next day the good sister
went to the drug store and walked up to the counter. "Good morning
sister", said the pharmacist.” What can I do for you today?"
"I'd like some condoms
please." said the nun.
The pharmacist was a little
taken aback, but recovered soon enough and asked,” How many boxes would you
like - there are twelve to a box."
"I'll take six boxes that
should last about a week" said the nun.
The pharmacist was truly
flabbergasted by this time, and was almost afraid to ask any more questions,
but his professionalism prevailed and he asked in a clear voice,” Sister, what
size condoms would you like-we have large, extra large, and big liar
size."
The
sister thought for a minute, and finally said, "I'm not certain, perhaps
you could recommend a good size for a Camel?"
CHICKEN AND EGG
A chicken and an egg are lying
in bed.
The chicken is leaning against
the headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face.
The egg, looking a bit pissed
off, grabs the sheet, rolls over and says
"Well,
I guess we finally answered THAT question!”
A POLITICALLY INCORRECT RACIST JOKE
A
Pakistani dies & goes to heaven. He knocks on the Pearly Gates, and God
opens them. The Pakistani says to God "I've come for Jesus." God
turns around, and calls out "Jesus, minicab for you."
PRESIDENTIAL SAVINGS PLAN
When Bill and Hillary first got
married, Bill said, "I am putting a box under our bed. You must promise
never to look n it." In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never
looked. However, on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the
better of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box there were 3
empty beer cans and $1,874.25 in cash.
After dinner, Hillary could no
longer contain her guilt and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For
all these years I kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed.
However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to
know why do you keep the empty cans in the box?"
Bill thought for a while and
said, "I guess that after all these years you deserve to know the truth.
Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the
bed to remind myself not to do it again."
Hillary was shocked, but said,
"I am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years
away from home on the road, temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is
not that bad considering the number of years we've been together."
They hugged and made their peace.
A little while later, Hillary asked Bill, "So why do you have all that
money in the box?"
Bill
answered, "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them
to the recycling centre and redeemed them for cash."
IRISH CONFESSION
An Irish priest is in a church on Saturday afternoon, hearing
confessions...
A man walks in and kneels down and begins his confession.
"Father, it has been two weeks since my last confession. These are my
sins: Last night I had sex with Fanny Green."
"That is your sin?"
"Yes, Father."
"You are forgiven. Go out and say one 'Our Father.'" The
man leaves. Soon, another enters and kneels. "Father, it has been one
month since my last confession. These are my sins: I have had sex with Fanny
Green every week for the last month."
The priest thinks to himself this Fanny Green woman is fairly
popular with his male parishioners... "Those are your sins?"
"Yes, Father."
"You are forgiven. Go out and say three 'Hail Marys.'"
The man leaves. Soon, another man enters and kneels down.
"Father, it has been six months since my last confession. These are my
sins: I have had sex with Fanny Green twice a week for the last six
months."
This time, the priest has to ask - "Who is this Fanny
Green?" "Just a woman I know, Father." "Very well, you are
forgiven. Go out and say ten 'Hail Marys.'" The priest closes the church
for the evening and leaves wondering who this Fanny Green woman is...
The next morning, the priest is up in front of his congregation
saying mass. The doors fly open in the back of the church and in walks this
woman, a tall redhead with long gorgeous hair, a green sequin dress, green
patent leather shoes with sequined heels and a green hat with a long green
feather coming from it. She walks straight up the aisle and sits down right in
front of the priest, her knees apart. The priest cannot help but stop and
stare. He finally catches himself and leans over to ask the altar boy.
"Pssssst. Is that Fanny Green?"
The altar boy has a look and says, "No,
Father, I think it's just the reflection off her shoes."
BUNKING OFF WORK
Three girls all worked in the
same office with the same female boss. Each day, they noticed the boss left
work early. One day, the girls decided that, when the boss left, they would
leave right behind her. After all, she never called or came back to work, so
how would she know they went home early?
The brunette was thrilled to be
home early. She did a little gardening, spent playtime with her son, and went
to bed early.
The redhead was elated to be
able to get in a quick workout at the spa before meeting a dinner date.
The blonde was happy to get home
early and surprise her husband, but when she got to her bedroom, she heard a
muffled noise from inside. Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and
was mortified to see her husband in bed with her boss! Gently, she closed the
door and crept out of her house.
The next day, at their coffee
break, the brunette and redhead planned to leave early again, and they asked
the blonde if she was going to go with them. "No way," the blonde
exclaimed.
"I
almost got caught yesterday!"
PAINTING THE HOUSE
A woman hired a contractor to
repaint the interior of her house. The woman walked the man through the second
floor of her home and told him what colours she wanted for each room. As they
walked through the first room, the woman said, "I think I would like this
room in a cream colour."
The contractor wrote on his
clipboard, walked to the window, opened it and yelled out, "Green side
up!"
He then closed the window and
continued following the woman to the next room. The woman looked confused, but
proceeded with her tour. "In this room, I was thinking of an off
blue."
Again, the contractor wrote this
down, went to the window, opened it and yelled out, "Green side up!"
This baffled the woman, but she
was hesitant to say anything. In the next room, the woman said she would like
it painted in a light rose colour.
And once more, the contractor
opened the window and yelled, "Green side up!"
Struck with curiosity, the woman
mustered up the nerve to ask, "Why do you keep yelling 'Green side up' out
my window every time I tell you the colour I would like the room?"
The
contractor replied, "Because I have a crew of blondes laying turf across
the street."
FIX THE FRIDGE
A guy is at home watching the
football, when his wife interrupts!
"Could you fix the Fridge
door? It won't close properly."
"Fix the fridge door? Does
it look like I have Zanussi written on my forehead? I don't think so
"Fine!" she says,
"Then could you at least fix the steps to the front door? They're about to
break."
"Does it look like I've got
Ronseal written on my forehead? I don't think so. I've had enough of this, I'm
going to the pub!"
So he goes to the pub and drinks
for a couple of hours. When he arrives home, he notices that the steps are
fixed. He goes to the fridge to get a beer and notices that the fridge door is
also fixed.
"Honey, how'd this all get
fixed?"
"Well" she says,
"when you left, I sat outside and cried. Just then a nice and very
handsome young man asked me what was wrong, so I told him. He offered to do all
the repairs, and all I had to do was bake him a cake OR have sex with
him."
"So, what kind of cake did
you bake him?", he asked.
She
replied: "HELLO!!!... Do you see Mr. Kipling written on my forehead? I
don't think so!!"
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:
* 54 times the sheets were clean
* 17 times it was too late
* 49 times you were too tired
* 20 times it was too hot
* 15 times you pretended to be sleep
* 22 times you had a headache
* 17 times you were afraid of waking the baby
* 16 times you said you were too sore
* 12 times it was the wrong time of the month
* 19 times you had to get up early
* 9 times you said weren't in the mood
* 7 times you were sunburned
* 6 times you were watching the late show
* 5 times you didn't want to mess up your new hairdo
* 3 times you said the neighbours would hear us
* 9 times you said your mother would hear us
Of the 36 times I did succeed, the activity was not satisfactory
because:
* 6 times you just laid there
* 8 times you reminded me there's a crack in the ceiling
* 4 times you told me to hurry up and get it over with
* 7 times I had to wake you and tell you I finished
* 1 time I was afraid I had hurt you because I felt you move
TO MY DEAR HUSBAND:
I think you have things a little confused. Here are the reasons
you didn't get more than you did:
* 5 times you came home drunk and tried to screw the cat
* 36 times you did not come home at all
* 21 times you didn't cum
* 33 times you came too soon
* 19 times you went soft before you got in
* 38 times you worked too late
* 10 times you got cramps in your toes
* 29 times you had to get up early to play golf
* 2 times you were in a fight and someone kicked you in the balls
* 4 times you got it stuck in your zipper
* 3 times you had a cold and your nose was running
* 2 times you had a splinter in your finger
* 20 times you lost the notion after thinking about it all day
* 6 times you came in your pyjamas while reading a dirty book
* 98 times you were too busy watching football, baseball, etc. on
TV
Of the times we did get together:
The reason I laid still was because you missed and were screwing
the sheets.
I wasn't talking about the crack in the ceiling, what I said was,
"Would you prefer me on my back or kneeling?"
The time you felt me move was because you
farted and I was trying to breathe.
AN ENGLISHMAN AN IRISHMAN AND A SCOTSMAN (1)
An Englishman an Irishman and a
Scotsman were in a pub, talking about their sons.
"My son was born on St
George's Day," commented the Englishman. "So we obviously decided to
call him George."
"That's a real
coincidence," remarked the Scot. "My son was born on St Andrew's Day,
so obviously we decided to call him Andrew."
"That's
incredible, what a coincidence," said the Irishman. "Exactly the same
thing happened with my son Pancake."
AN ENGLISHMAN AN IRISHMAN AND A SCOTSMAN (2)
There's an Englishman, Irishman
& Scotsman all talking about their teenage daughters.
The Englishman says "I was
cleaning my daughter's room the other day & I found a packet of cigarettes.
I was really shocked as I didn't even know she smokes".
The Scotsman says, " That's
nothing. I was cleaning my daughter's room the other day when I came across a
half full bottle of vodka. I was really shocked as I didn't even know she
drank."
With that
the Irishman says " Both of you have got nothing to worry about. I was
cleaning my daughter's room the other day when I found packet of condoms. I was
really shocked. I didn't even know she had a knob"
VICES AND LONGEVITY
A woman walked up to a little
old man rocking in a chair on his porch. "I couldn't help noticing how
happy you look," she said. "What's your secret for a long happy
life?"
"I smoke three packs of
cigarettes a day," he said. "I also do a gramme of cocaine a day, a
spliff every night, a case of whiskey a week, eat junk food, and never
exercise, and do pills on the weekend."
"That's amazing," said
the woman, "how old are you?'
FACELIFT
A woman decides to have a
facelift for her 50th birthday. She spends £15,000 and feels pretty good about
the results. On her way home she stops at a newsstand to buy a paper. Before
leaving she asks the salesgirl,
"I hope you don't mind my
asking, but how old do you think I am?"
"About 35," the clerk
replies.
"I'm actually 50," the
woman says happily. A little while later she goes into McDonalds and asks the
counter girl the same question.
She replies, "I'd guess
about 29."
The woman replies, "Nope, I
am 50!" Now she is feeling really good about herself. While waiting for
the bus to get home, she asks an elderly man the same question. The elderly man
replied,
"I'm 78 and my eyesight is
going. Although, when I was young, there was a sure way to tell how old a woman
was, but it requires you to let me put my hands up your blouse. Then, I can
tell exactly how old you are."
They waited in silence on the
empty street until curiosity got the best of the woman and she finally says,
"What the hell, go ahead".
The old man puts both his hands
up her blouse and begins to feel around. After several minutes she says,
"Okay, okay, that's enough, how old am I?"
He removes his hands slowly and
says, "You are 50." Stunned, the woman says, "That is amazing.
How do you know?"
The old
man replies, "I was behind you in the queue in McDonalds!"
GLASS EYE
A man is dining in a fancy
restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has
been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.
Suddenly she sneezes and her
glass eye comes flying out of its socket towards the man. He reflexively
reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
"Oh my, I am sooo
sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in place. "Let me buy
your dinner to make it up to you," she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner
together, and afterwards the theatre followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh,
she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens. After paying for
everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a
nightcap... and stay for breakfast the next morning.
The next morning, she cooks a
gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed!! Everything had been
incredible!!!!
"You know," he said,
"you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?"
"No,
she replies... You just happened to catch my eye."

YOU KNOW YOU'RE TRAILER TRASH WHEN....
1) The Halloween pumpkin on your
porch has more teeth than you do.
2) You let your 12 year old
daughter smoke at the table in front of her kids.
3) You've been married 3 times
& still have the same in-laws.
4) You wonder how service
stations keep their restrooms so clean.
5) You wife's hairdo was once
ruined by a ceiling fan.
6) You think the last words of
the Star Spangled Banner are, "Gentlemen, start your engines."
7) You lit a match in the
bathroom & your house exploded right off its wheels.
8) Your front porch collapses
& kills more than 5 dogs.
9) You think loading a
dishwasher means getting your wife drunk.
10) You need 1 more hole punched
in your card to get a freebie at the House-O-Tattoos.
11) You
use toilet paper as your tampons.
YET MORE ADAGES
As I let go of my feelings of
guilt, I can get in touch with my Inner Sociopath.
I have the power to channel my
imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
I assume full responsibility for
my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.
I no longer need to punish,
deceive or compromise myself, unless, of course, I want to stay employed.
In some cultures, what I do
would be consider normal.
Having control over myself is
nearly as good as having control over others.
My intuition nearly makes up for
my lack of good judgment.
I can change any thought that
hurts into a reality that hurts even more.
I honour my personality flaws,
for without them I would have no personality at all.
Joan of Arc heard voices too.
I am grateful that I am not as
judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.
I need not suffer in silence
while I can still moan, whimper and complain.
As I learn the innermost secrets
of the people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet.
When someone hurts me,
forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly as gratifying.
The first step is to say nice
things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to
find someone to buy me nice things.
All of me is beautiful and
valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts.
I am at one with my duality.
Blessed are the flexible, for
they can tie themselves into knots.
I will strive to live each day
as if it were my 40th birthday.
Only a lack of imagination saves
me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears.
I honour and express all facets
of my being, regardless of state and local laws.
Today I will gladly share my
experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you
so."
False hope is better than no
hope at all.
A good scapegoat is nearly as
welcome as a solution to the problem.
Just for today, I will not sit
in my living room all day watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the
bedroom.
Who can I blame for my own
problems? Give me just a minute...I'll find someone.
Why should I waste my time
reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future?
The complete lack of evidence is
the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
I am learning that criticism is
not nearly as effective as sabotage.
Becoming aware of my character
defects leads me to the next step- blaming my parents.
To understand all is to fear
all.
I will find humour in my
everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.
The next time the universe
knocks on my door, I will pretend I am not home.
To have a successful
relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm
getting.
I am
willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.
A FROG IN A BANK
A frog walks into a bank and
approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is 'Patricia Whack'.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to
get a £30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Pattie looks at the frog in
disbelief and asks his name.
"Kermit Jagger"
replies the frog " Son of Mick Jagger - It's OK – I know the bank manager
personally."
Pattie explains that he will
need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says "Sure, I have
this", and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall,
bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Pattie explains
that she'll have to consult the manager and disappears into the back
office. She finds the bank manager and
says " There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know
you and wants to borrow £30,000, and he wants to use this as
collateral". She holds up the tiny
pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
The bank manager looks up at her
and says.....
It's a
knickknack, Pattie Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone.
TWO COWS
Traditional capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a
bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on
the income.
An American Corporation: You have two cows. You sell one, and
force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the
cow drops dead.
Another American Corporation: You have two cows. You want to have
a thousand and two cows. Your accountant shreds the cow records. You have two
thousand and two cows. You sell futures on their milk production. Your
production inexplicably collapses to that of two cows. You pay yourself a
massive bonus.
A South African Corporation: You have two cows. You go on strike
because you want three cows.
A South African Parastatal: You have two cows. You sell them and
buy a Mercedes.
A South African Diary: You have two cows. The government forces
you to replace them with two bulls.
A Zimbabwean Corporation: You have no cows. You take the farmer's
two cows. You eat them. You have no cows.
A Japanese Corporation: You have two cows. You redesign them so
they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the
milk. You create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them
world-wide.
A German Corporation: You have two cows. You reengineer them so
they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.
A British Corporation: You have two cows. Both are mad.
An Italian Corporation: You have two cows, but you don't know
where they are. You break for lunch.
A Russian Corporation: You have two cows. You count them and learn
you have
five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You
count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open
another bottle of vodka.
A Swiss Corporation: You have 5000 cows, none of which belongs to
you. You charge others for storing them.
A Hindu Corporation: You have two cows. You build a temple and
worship them.
A Chinese Corporation: You have two cows. You have 300 people
milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest
the newsman who reported the numbers.
An Israeli Corporation: So, there are these two Jewish cows,
right? They open a milk factory, an ice
cream store, and then sell the movie rights. They send their calves to Harvard
to become doctors. So, who needs people?
An Australian Corporation: You have two cows. The one on the left
looking sheepish is kinda cute.
A Cuban Corporation: You have two pigs. Your
president calls them cows. You have two cows.
A Few Good Lawyers
A lawyer is standing in a long
line at the box office. Suddenly, he feels a pair of hands kneading his
shoulders, back, and neck. The lawyer turns around.
"What the hell do you think
you're doing?"
"I'm a chiropractor, and
I'm just keeping in practice while I'm waiting in line."
"Well,
I'm a lawyer, but you don't see me screwing the guy in front of me, do
you?"
