BARS OF SOAP
The following is a real dialogue
between a hotel guest and the maid service.
Dear Maid,
Please do not leave any more of
those little bars of soap in my Bathroom since I have brought my own bath-sized
Imperial Leather.
Please remove the six unopened
little bars from the shelf under the medicine chest and another three in the
shower soap dish. They are in my way.
Thank you,
S. Berman

Dear Room 635,
I am not your regular maid. She
will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off. I took the 3 hotel soaps out
of the shower soap dish as you requested.
The 6 bars on your shelf I took
out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should
change your mind.
This leaves only the 3 bars I
left today which my instructions from the management are to leave 3 soaps
daily.
I hope this is satisfactory.
Kathy,
Relief Maid

Dear Maid,
I hope you are my regular maid.
Apparently Kathy did not tell
you about my note to her concerning the little bars of soap. When I got back to
my room this evening, I found you had added 3 little Camays to the shelf under
my medicine cabinet.
I am going to be here in the
hotel for two weeks and have brought my own bath-size Imperial Leather, so I
won't need those 6 little Camays, which are on the shelf. They are in the way
when shaving, brushing teeth etc.
Please remove them.

Dear Mr Berman,
The assistant manager, Mr
Kensedder, informed me this morning that you called him last evening and said
you were unhappy with your maid service.
I have assigned a new girl to
your room. I hope you will accept my apologies for any past inconvenience.
If you have any future
complaints, please contact me so I can give it my personal attention. Call
extension 1108 between 8AM and 5PM.
Thank you.

Dear Miss Carmen,
It is impossible to contact you
by phone since I leave the hotel for business at 7:45 AM and don't get back
before 5:30 or 6.00 PM. That's the reason I called Mr Kensedder last night. You
were already off duty. I only asked Mr Kensedder if he could do anything about
those little bars of soap.
The new maid you assigned me
must have thought I was a new check-in today, since she left another 3 bars of
hotel soap in my medicine cabinet, along with her regular delivery of 3 bars on
the bathroom shelf.
In just 5 days here I have
accumulated 24 little bars of soap. Why are you doing this to me?
S. Berman

Dear Mr Berman,
Your maid, Kathy, has been
instructed to stop delivering soap to your room and to remove the extra soaps.
If I can be of further
assistance, please call extension 1108 between 8 AM and 5 PM.
Thank you,
Elaine Carmen,
Housekeeper

Dear Mr Kensedder,
My bath-size Imperial Leather is
missing. Every bar of soap was taken from my room, including my own bath-size
Imperial Leather.
I came in late last night and
had to call the bellhop to bring me 4 little Cashmere Bouquets.
S. Berman

Dear Mr Berman,
I have informed our housekeeper,
Elaine Carmen, of your soap problem.
I cannot understand why there
was no soap in your room since our maids are instructed to leave 3 bars of soap
each time they service a room.
The situation will be rectified
immediately.
Please accept my apologies for
the inconvenience.
Martin L. Kensedder
Assistant Manager

Dear Mrs Carmen,
Who the hell left 54 little bars
of Camay in my room?
I came in last night and found
54 little bars of soap. I don't Want 54 little bars of Camay. I want my one
damn bar of bath-size Imperial Leather.
Do you realise I have 54 bars of
soap in here?
All I want is my bath-size
Imperial Leather.
Please give me back my bath-size
Imperial Leather.
S. Berman

~ ------
Dear Mr Berman,
You complained of too much soap
in your room, so I had them removed. Then you complained to Mr Kensedder that
all your soap was missing, so I personally returned them. The 24 Camays, which
had been taken, and the 3 Camays you are supposed to receive daily. I don't
know anything about the 4 Cashmere Bouquets.
Obviously your maid, Kathy, did
not know I had returned your soaps, so she also brought 24 Camays plus the 3
daily Camays.
I don't know where you got the
idea this hotel issues bath-size Imperial Leather.
I was able to locate some
bath-size Ivory, which I left in your room.

Dear Mrs Carmen,
Just a short note to bring you
up-to-date on my latest soap inventory.
As of today I possess:
* On the shelf under the
medicine cabinet -18 Camay in 4 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
* On the Kleenex dispenser - 11
Camay in 2 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 3.
* On the bedroom dresser - 1
stack of 3 Cashmere Bouquet, 1 stack of 4 hotel-size Ivory, and 8 Camay in 2
stacks of 4.
* Inside the medicine cabinet -
14 Camay in 3 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
* In the shower soap dish - 6
Camay, very moist.
* On the northeast corner of the
tub - 1 Cashmere Bouquet, slightly used.
* On the northwest corner of the
tub - 6 Camays in 2 stacks of 3.
Please ask Kathy when she
services my room to make sure the stacks are neatly piled and dusted. Also,
please advise her that stacks of more than 4 have a tendency to tip.
May I suggest that my bedroom
windowsill is not in use and will make an excellent spot for future soap
deliveries.
One more item, I have purchased
another bar of bath-size Imperial Leather, which I am keeping in the hotel
vault to avoid further misunderstandings.
TWO ARABS
Two Arabs are chatting. One of
them has his wallet out and is flipping through pictures. "Yeah, this is
my oldest. He's a martyr. Here's my second son. He's a martyr, too."
...There's a pause...
The
second Arab says, wistfully, "Ah, they blow up so fast, don't they?"
CHINESE IN AUSTRALIA
This Chinese man moved into his
new home in Australia. His Aussie neighbour, being the nice Aussie bloke that
he was, decided to make him feel welcome. He went next door to wish him
welcome.
He was shocked to see the
Chinese man in his nice backyard chasing ten chickens around like mad.
"Must be a Chinese custom" he thought to himself. Deciding he could
put off the welcome till a later date, he went home.
The next day, he decided he was
going to welcome the Chinese man again. When he looked through his window, he
saw the Chinese man urinate into a cup and drink it. "Must be a Chinese
custom" he thought to himself. Deciding he could put off the welcome till
tomorrow, he went on with other stuff.
The third
day, he was determined he had to welcome the Chinese man. At his gate, he saw
the Chinese man with his ear pressed against a cow's big fat butt. He became
angry and went up to the Chinese man. "I'm sorry sir, I want to wish you a
welcome, but I cannot stand your crazy Chinese customs!" He yelled in the
Chinese man's face. The Chinese man looked confused and answered. "Sorry
sir, I think you are mistaken. These are actually Australian customs. I was
told, to become an Australian, you have to chase chicks, get piss drunk, and
listen to bullshit."
SLAP 'EM AROUND
A drunk walks into a bar and
says to the bartender (with a drunken slur), "Bartender, buy everyone in
the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the bill."
So, the bartender does just that
and hands the man a bill for $57.00. The drunk says, "I haven't got
it."
The bartender slaps the guy
around a few times then throws him out into the street.
The very next day the same drunk
walks into the bar and once again says (with a drunken slur), "Bartender,
buy everyone in the house a drink, pour yourself one, and give me the
bill."
The bartender looks at the guy
and figures to himself that he can't possibly be stupid enough to pull the same
trick twice, so he gives him the benefit of the doubt, pours a round of drinks
for the house, has a drink himself and hands the drunk a bill for $67.00. The
drunk says, "I haven't got it."
The bartender can't believe it.
He picks the guy up, beats the living daylights out of him, and then throws him
out into the street.
The next day the same drunk
walks back into the same bar and says (with a drunken slur), "Bartender,
buy every one in the house a drink, give me the bill. In disgust, the bartender
says, "What, no drink for me this time?"
The drunk
replies, "You!!?? No way! You get too violent when you drink."
WAITING FOR A BUS
In a crowded city at a crowded
bus stop, a beautiful young woman was waiting for the bus. She was decked out
in a tight leather mini skirt with matching tight leather boots and jacket.
As the bus rolled up and it
became her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to
allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step on the bus.
Slightly embarrassed, and with a
quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a
little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg.
Again she tried to make the step
on to the bus only to discover she still couldn't. So, a little more
embarrassed, she once again reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little
more and, for a second time, attempted the step.
Once again, much to her chagrin,
she could not raise her leg because of the tight skirt. With a coy little smile
to the driver, she again unzipped the offending skirt to give a little more
slack and again was unable to make the step.
About this time, the big Texan
behind her in line picked her up easily from the waist and placed her lightly
on the top step of the bus. She went absolutely ballistic and turned on the
would-be hero, screeching at him.
"How dare you touch my
body!! I don't even know who you are!"
At this,
the Texan drawled, "Well Ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after
you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured that we was friends."
WAYNE CAREY
Gary Ayres noticed that his star
player, Wayne Carey, had so many women hanging around that he couldn't possibly
handle all of them.
So one day, after practice,
Ayres asked Wayne, "Just what the hell is your secret with the
women?"
So Carey replies, "Well,
Coach, whenever I'm about to have sex, I always whip it out and bang it on the
dresser like a hammer. That numbs it and I can screw 'em forever!"
Ayres decided that this was a
good idea so one day he left training early. When he got home he heard his wife
in the shower. Seeing a window of opportunity, he tore off his clothes and
started banging it on the dresser.
His wife
stuck her head out of the shower and said, "Is that you Wayne?"
MICK MALTHOUSE, NATHAN BUCKLEY AND EDDIE MAGUIRE
Mick Malthouse, Nathan Buckley
and Eddie Maguire go out for dinner one evening but are involved in a car
accident and are standing before God at the throne of Heaven. God looks at
them, and says, "Before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask
you what you believe in."
Addressing Mick first, he asks
"What do you believe?"
Mick looks God in the eye and
states passionately, "I believe in giving peace a chance. That beauty is
something deep within the soul, and there is nothing beyond our reach if you
work hard enough for what you believe in."
God looks up, and offers Mick
the seat to his left. He then turns to Nathan. "And you, Mr Buckley. What
do you believe?"
Nathan stands tall and proud.
"I believe courage, honour, and passion are the fundamentals to life, and
I've spent my whole sporting career providing a living embodiment of these
traits, particularly passion!!"
God, moved by the passion of the
speech offers Nathan the seat to his right.
Finally, he turns to Eddie.
"And you, Mr Maguire. What do you believe?
"I
believe", says Eddie, "that you are in my seat".
ONLY IN AFRICA
The Original Legend
An ant and a grasshopper live in
the same field. During summer, the ant works all day and night bringing in
supplies for winter and he prepares his home to keep him warm during the cold
months ahead.
Meanwhile the grasshopper hops
and sings, eats all the grass he wants and he procreates.
Come winter, the grass dies and
it is bitterly cold. The ant is well fed and warm in his house, but the
grasshopper has not prepared for the winter so he dies leaving a whole hoard of
little grasshoppers without food or shelter.
The moral of this story is that
one should work hard enough to ensure that you can take care of yourself and
those you bring to being.
The African Version
The first part of the story is
the same, but because it happens in Africa, there are a few complications. The
starving shivering offspring of the grasshopper demand to know why the ants
should be allowed to be warm and well fed while next door they are living in
terrible conditions without food or clothing.
A TV crew shows up and
broadcasts footage of the poor grasshopper and contrasts this with footage of
the ant snug in his home with a pantry full of food. The public is stunned. How
can it be, that in this fertile field the poor grasshopper can suffer while the
ant lives in the lap of luxury.
In a blink of the eye, the AGU
(African Grasshopper union) is formed, with foreign aid. They charge the ant
with "species bias" and claim that the grasshoppers are victims of
generations of green oppression. They stage a protest in front of the ant's
house and trash the street.
The TV crew interviews them and
they state that if their demands are not met, they will be forced into a life
of crime. Just for practice, they loot and rape the TV crew and highjack their
van. The TRC, Take and Redistribute Commission, (Truth and reconciliation
commission), justifies this behaviour by saying that this is the legacy of the
ant's discrimination against the grasshopper. They demand that the ant
apologise to the grasshopper for what he has done, and that he make amends for
the other ants in history that have done the same things to grasshoppers.
PAGAD, People Against Grasshopper Abuse and Distress state that they are
starting a holy war against ants. The President appears on the 8pm news and
says that he will do everything he can for the grasshoppers who have been
denied the prosperity they deserve from living in the fertile field.
The
Government drafts the EEGAD act, Economic Equity for Greens and Disadvantaged,
and retroactively fines the ant for failing to employ a proportionate number of
greens. Having nothing left to pay redistribution taxes, his home is expropriated.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing off the last of the ants’
food while the house he is in, once the ant's house, crumbles around him
through lack of maintenance.
THIS IS A SINGLES AD WHICH APPEARED IN A LOCAL PAPER:
"SBF( single, black,
female) Seeks Male companionship. Age and ethnicity unimportant. I'm a young,
svelte, good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods,
riding in your pickup truck, hunting/camping/fishing trips. I love cosy winter
nights spent lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of
your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door
when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm
yours."
Call 555-2525 and ask for Daisy.
The phone
number was that of the Humane Society, and Daisy was an eight week old black
Labrador retriever. They received 643 calls in two days.
TRAIN RIDE
In a train car there was an
Australian, a Kiwi, a spectacular looking blonde and a frightfully awful
looking fat lady. After several minutes of the trip the train passes through a
dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the
tunnel, the Kiwi had a big red slap mark on his cheek.
1. The blonde thought -
"That Kiwi son of a bitch wanted to touch me and by mistake, he must have
put his hand on the fat lady, who in turn must have slapped his face."
2. The fat lady thought -
"This dirty old Kiwi laid his hands on the blonde and she smacked
him."
3. The Kiwi thought - "That
fucking Australian put his hand on that blonde and by mistake she slapped
me."
4. The
Australian thought - "I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can smack
that stupid Kiwi again."
CONFESSIONAL
An old man walks into a
confessional. The following conversation ensues:
Man: I am 92 years old, have a
wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitchhiking. We went
to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times.
Priest : Are you sorry for your
sins?
Man : What sins?
Priest : What kind of a Catholic
are you?
Man : I'm Jewish
Priest: Why are you telling me
all this?
Man : I'm
telling everybody.
TWO COWBOYS
Two cowboys from Goondawindi
walk into a pub to wash the dust from their throats. They stand at the bar,
drinking their beers and talking quietly about cattle prices in the drought.
Suddenly a woman at a table
behind them, who had been eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or
so it becomes apparent that she is in real distress, and the cowboys turn to
look at her.
"Kin ya swaller?" asks
one of the cowboys.
"No", signals the
woman, desperately shaking her head.
"Kin ya breathe?" asks
the other.
The woman, beginning to turn a
bit blue, shakes her head "No" again.
The first cowboy walks over to
her, lifts up the back of her skirt, yanks down her pants, and slowly runs his
tongue up and down between the woman's bum-cheeks. This shocks the woman to a
violent spasm, the obstruction flies out of her mouth, and she begins to
breathe again.
The
cowboy slowly walks back over to the bar and proudly takes a drink of his beer.
His partner says in admiration, "Ya know, I'd heard of that there Hind
Lick Manoeuvre, but I ain't never seen nobody do it before.
WOMAN
Q: What's the first thing a
woman does when she gets out of the battered wives' shelter?
A: The
dishes if she knows what's good for her
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are
chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population)
2. In 37% of Americans, the
thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will
slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut
down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
U-Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger
of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research
indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and
joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water
can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty
focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water
daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of
breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the amount of
water you should every day?
COKE
1. In many states (in the USA)
the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood
from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in
a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can
of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for
one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from
vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from
chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminium foil
dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car
battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away
the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt:
Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a
can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the
drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from
clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and
run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It
will also clean road haze from your windshield.
For Your Info
1. The active ingredient in Coke
is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to
the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the
concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards
reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have
been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Now the
question is, would you like a glass of water or coke? WATER OR COKE?
CONTAGIOUS
A teacher asks her class to use
the word 'contagious'. Roland, the class swot, gets up and says, "Last
year I got the measles and my Mum said it was contagious". "Well
done, Roland" says the teacher.
"Can anyone else try"?
Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says here's a
bug going round, and it's contagious". "Well done, Katie" says
the teacher. "Anyone else"?
Little
Irish Shaun jumps up and says in a broad Irish voice, "Our next door
neighbour is painting his house with a two-inch brush and my Dad says it will
take the contagious."
AT THE BARBERS
A little girl goes to the
barbershop with her father.
She stands next to the barber
chair, eating a cake while her dad gets his haircut.
The barber smiles at her and
says, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your muffin."
"I
know," she replies. "I'm gonna get tits too."
SHOT HER FINGER OFF
A blonde hurries into the
emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off.
"How did this happen?"
the emergency room doctor asked her.
"Well, I was trying to
commit suicide," the blonde replied.
"What?" sputtered the
doctor. "You tried to commit suicide by shooting your finger off?"
"No, silly!" the
blonde said. "First I put the gun to my chest, and I thought: I just paid
$6,000.00 for these breast implants, I'm not shooting myself in the
chest."
"So then?" asked the
doctor.
"Then I put the gun in my
mouth, and I thought: I just paid $3,000.00 to get my teeth straightened, I'm
not shooting myself in the mouth."
"So then?"
"Then
I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: This is going to make a loud noise. So
I put my finger in the other ear before I pulled the trigger."
TALKING DOG FOR SALE
This guy sees a sign in front of
a house "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells
him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a
mutt sitting there.
"You talk?" he asks.
"Yep," the mutt
replies.
"So, what's your
story?"
The mutt looks up and says
"Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the
government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting
from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leader, cause no
one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable
spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I
wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a
job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near
suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings
there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now
I'm just retired."
The guy
is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The
owner says "Ten dollars." The guy says he'll buy him but asks the
owner, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him?" The owner
replies, "Because he's such a fucking liar!!"
BROKER TO SCHOOL
Deciding to take a day off from
his important job, a young hotshot broker went back to visit some of his
professors at his old school. Entering the school, he saw a dog attacking a
small child. He quickly jumped on the dog and strangled it. The next day, the
local paper reported the story with the headline "Valiant Student Saves
Boy From Fearsome Dog."
The broker called the editor of
the paper and strongly suggested that a correction be issued, pointing out that
he was no longer a student, but a successful Wall Street broker.
The
following day, the paper issued a correction, with a headline that read,
"Pompous Stock Broker Kills School Mascot."
MUTE SON
A man and woman got married and
had a little boy who was very healthy, but as he got older his parents noticed
that he never spoke.
This concerned his parents
greatly. They took their son to several doctors who ran series of tests and
told them that the boy was perfectly healthy but would probably never speak.
Resigned, the parent took their son home and did everything in their power to
keep him happy. One night seven years later while eating dinner, the little boy
looked up from his plate and said in a clear voice, "These peas are
cold."
Overjoyed, his parents
celebrated and hugged and kissed him. "Oh," they said. "We're so
happy. We thought you couldn't speak. Why haven't you spoken until now?"
The boy
looked at his parents and said, "Well up until these peas, everything's
been fine."
A VISIT TO THE POPE
The CEO of Tyson Foods manages
to arrange a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican. After receiving the papal
blessing, he whispers, "Your eminence, we have an offer for you. Tyson
Foods is prepared to donate $100million dollars to the church if you change the
Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our
daily chicken.'
The Pope responds, "That is
impossible. The Prayer is the word of the Lord - it must not be changed."
"Well," says the Tyson
man, "we anticipated your reluctance. For this reason, we will increase
our offer to $300 million dollars. All we require is that you change the Lord's
Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily
chicken.' Again, the Pope replies, "That, my son, is impossible. For the
prayer is the word of the Lord and it must not be changed."
Finally, the Tyson guy says,
"Your Holiness, we at Tyson Foods respect your adherence to your faith,
but we do have one final offer. We will donate $500 million dollars - that's
half a billion dollars - to the great Catholic church if you would only change
the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day
our daily chicken.' Please consider it." And he leaves.
The next day the Pope convenes
the College of Cardinals. "There is some good news," he announces,
"and some bad news."
"The good news is that the
Church has come into $500 million dollars."
"And the bad news, your
eminence?" asks a Cardinal.
"We're
losing the Wonder Bread account."
PLAYING GOLF
An Englishman, Irishman and a
Scotsman are all playing golf with their wives.
The Englishman's wife steps up
to the tee and as she bends over to place her ball a gust of wind blows her
skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear. "Good God! Why aren't you
wearing any knickers?" her husband demanded.
"Well, you don't give me
enough housekeeping money to afford to buy any". The Englishman
immediately reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of decency
here's 50 pounds, go and buy yourself some panties".
Next the Irishman's wife bends
over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she too is
naked under it. "Bejasus woman. You've no knickers - why not"?
She too explains, "You
don't give me enough housekeeping money to be able to afford any". He
reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of decency here's 20
pounds, go and buy yourself some!".
Lastly, the Scotsman's wife
bends over to set her ball on the tee.
Her skirt blows up to show that
she is also wearing no undies. "Hoot, lassie! Why d'ye have no
knickers?" She replies "I can't afford any on the money you give
me".
"For
the sake of decency here's a comb, tidy yourself up a bit.
DARWIN AWARDS 2002
Yes, the one we've all been
waiting for... the Darwin Awards 2002. The candidates have finally been
released! For those not familiar with the Darwin Award, It's an annual honor
given to the person who provided the Universal human gene pool the biggest
service by getting KILLED in the most extraordinarily stupid way. As always,
competition this year has been keen again.
Some candidates appear to have
trained their whole lives for this event!
DARWIN AWARD CANDIDATES
1. In September in Detroit, a
41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing
head-first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.
2. In October,a 49-year-old San
Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," accidentally
jogged off a 100- foot-high cliff on his daily run.
3. Buxton, NC: A man died on a
beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat
inside it. Beach goers said Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun, or
protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom

RUNNER-UP:
TACOMA, WA - Kerry Bingham, had
been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who
had bungee-jumped from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the middle of traffic. The
conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of
the bridge at 4:30 am. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they
discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued
drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay
nearby. One end of the cable was secured around Bingham's leg and the other end
was tied to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and
tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy
river water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. "All I can say,"
said Bingham, "is that God was watching out for me on that night. There's
just no other explanation for it." Bingham's foot was never located.
AND THE WINNER:
PADERBORN, GERMANY
Overzealous
zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant Stefan, 22 doses of
animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the
plugged-up pachyderm finally let fly and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds
of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the
ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him.
"The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt
to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the
elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said
flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. "With no one there to
help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman
came along, and during that time he suffocated. "It seems to be just one
of those freak accidents that happen."
A GREEK MARRIAGE
A young virgin marries a Greek

couple of months her husband asks her to turn over for sex. "No way,"
the girl protested.
"Dad said I didn't have to
do that."
"OK,"
replied the husband, "but I thought you wanted children!"

DEFINITION OF BARBECUING.
It's the only type of cooking a
"real" man will do. When a man volunteers to do the 'BBQ' the
following chain of events are put into motion:
1) The woman goes to the store.
2) The woman fixes the salad,
vegetables, and dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat
for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and
takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, beer in hand.
4) The man places the meat on
the grill.
5) The woman goes inside to set
the table and check the vegetables.
6) The woman comes out to tell
the man that the meat is burning.
7) The man takes the meat off
the grill and hands it to the woman.
8) The woman prepares the plates
and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman
clears the table and does the dishes.
10) Everyone praises man and
thanks him for his cooking efforts.
11) The
man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing
her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women!
A TRAIN STORY
A man and a woman who have never
met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the
initial embarrassment they both go to sleep, the woman on the top bunk, the man
on the lower. In the middle of the
night the woman leans over, wakes the man and says, "I'm sorry to bother
you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly get me
another blanket." The man leans out and, with a glint in his eye, says,
"I've got a better idea ... just for tonight, let's pretend we're
married."
The woman thinks for moment.
"Why not", she giggles.
"Great!",
he replies, "Get your own fucking blanket!"
A BIG ELEPHANT

child.
"Nothing, Johnny,
nothing," says the embarrassed mother, swiftly leading him on. A week
later Johnny's dad takes him and the same happens. "What's that, Daddy?"
"That, son, is the
elephant's penis."
"Mummy said it was
nothing."
"Your
mother's spoilt, Son."

been so busy lately that I haven't had time to wipe my arse!"

MOTHS
The lovers passionately embraced
while lying on her bed. Their bodies
fused together as they gyrated and panted.
Then, suddenly the woman cocked her ear. "Quick, my husband is
coming through the front door. Hide in
the bathroom", she cried.
The lover ran into the bathroom
as she hid his clothes under the bed.
Just as she turned back, her husband came through the bedroom door.
"What are you doing lying naked on the bed?" he asked.
"Darling, I heard you
coming up the drive way and got ready to receive you" she replied with a
wink and a smile.
"Great" he said, "I'll just run into the bathroom and
I'll be with you in two shakes."
She panicked. Before she could
stop him, he was in the bathroom. He found a man clapping his hands together in
mid air. Dumfounded, he asked,
"Who the devil are you?"
"I'm from the exterminator
company. Your wife called me in to get rid of these pesky moths" the lover
replied.
The husband yelled, "but
you've got no clothes on!!!"
The lover looked down at his
body, jumped backwards in surprise and said,
TWENTY POUND NOTE
Two men are in a bar getting
drunk. Suddenly one of them throws up all over himself. He says, "Oh, no.
Now my wife will kill me."
His friend says, "Don't
worry. Just tuck a 20 note in your breast pocket and tell your wife that
someone else threw up on you and gave you £20 for the dry cleaning bill."
Eventually he reels home and his
wife starts to give him a bad time.
"You reek of alcohol and you've thrown up all over yourself, my God
you're disgusting,".
Speaking very carefully so as
not to slur, he says, "Wait. It's not what you think. I only had one
drink, but this man was sick on me. He was very sorry and he gave me 20 for the
cleaning bill. Look in my breast pocket."
She looks in his breast pocket
and says, "But this is 40."
He says,
"Ah, yes. He shat in my trousers too."
