A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today." The bartender says "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink too." The old woman says, Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water." "Coming up," says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says,"I would like to buy you one too." The old woman says, "Thank you." "Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water." "Coming right up," the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Water, however, is a whole other issue."

A Catholic man is struck by a bus on a busy street.

He is lying near death on the sidewalk as a crowd gathers.

"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps.

Minutes drag on and no one steps out of the crowd.

A policeman checks the crowd and finally yells,

"A PRIEST, PLEASE! Isn't there a priest in this crowd

to give this man his last rites?"

Finally, out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man

of at least 80 years of age. "Mr. Policeman," says the man,

"I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Christian.

But for 50 years now I'm living behind the Catholic Church

on First Avenue, and every night I'm overhearing their services.

I can recall a lot of it, and maybe I can be of some comfort

to this poor man."

The policeman agrees, and clears the crowd so the man

can get through to where the injured man lay.

The old Jewish man kneels down, leans over the prostrate man

and says in a solemn voice:

"B-4.

I-19.

N-38.

G-54.

O-72"

Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob tells Luther, "Ya know, I reckon I'm 'bout ready for a vacation. Only this year ah'm gonna do it a little different.

The last few years, I took your advice about where to go. Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earline got pregnant.

Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Earline got pregnant again. Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earline didn't get pregnant again."

Luther asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year that's different?"

Billy Bob says, "This year I'm taking Earline with me."

A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane. The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, then visibly shuddered for ten to fifteen seconds.

The man went back to his reading. A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, then shuddered violently once more. Assuming that the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering. A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again. As before she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body shaking ever more than before.

Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman and said, "I couldn't help but notice that you've sneezed three times, wiped your nose and then shuddered violently. Are you ok?"

"I am sorry if I disturbed you, I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze I have an orgasm."

The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious. " I have never heard of that condition before" he said. " Are you taking anything for it?"

"Yes," the woman nodded. "Pepper."

A man goes into a restaurant and is seated. All the waitresses are gorgeous. A particularly voluptuous waitress, wearing a very short skirt and legs that won't quit, came to his table and asked if he was ready to order: "What would you like, sir?"

He looks at the menu and then scans her beautiful frame top to bottom, then answers: "A quickie."

The waitress turns and walks away in disgust.

After she regains her composure she returns and asks again, "What would you like, sir?" Again the man thoroughly checks her out and again answers: "A quickie, please."

This time her anger takes over, she reaches over and slaps him across the face with a resounding "SMACK!" and storms away.

A man sitting at the next table leans over and whispers: "Um, I think it's pronounced 'Quiche'."

My forgetter's getting better,

But my rememberer is broke

To you that may seem funny

But, to me, that is no joke

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering

If I really should be "there"

And, when I try to think it through,

I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,

Say "what am I here for?"

I wrack my brain, but all in vain!

A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away

Where it is safe, but, Gee!

The person it is safest from

Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,

Say! "Hi" and have a chat,

Then, when the person walks away

I ask myself, "who was that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better

While my rememberer is broke,

And it's driving me plumb crazy

And that isn't any joke.

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.

When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........... Time to shut UP.....!

Oh...one more thing:

What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U-P

Bubba and Earl, mechanical engineers, were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A blonde woman walked by and asked what they were doing.

"We're suppose to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we don't have a ladder."

The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement, announced "eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away.

Earl shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a dumb blonde? We asked for the height, and she gives us the length!"

A Pastor went to his church office on Monday morning and discovered a

dead mule in the church yard. He telephoned the police.

Since there did not appear to be any foul play, the police referred the

Pastor to the Health Department.They explained, "Since there was no health threat, you'll need to call the Sanitation Department."

When the pastor called the Sanitation Department, the Manager of the

Sanitation Department said, "I can't pick up that dead mule without

authorization from the mayor.

The Pastor was not at all too eager to call the mayor, who possessed a very

bad temper and was always extremely unpleasant and hard to deal with, but, eventually, the Pastor called the mayor anyway. The mayor did not disappoint the Pastor.

The mayor immediately began to rant and rave. After his continued rant at

the pastor, the mayor finally said, "Why did you call me any way? Isn't it your job to bury the dead?"

The pastor paused for a brief prayer, and asked the Lord to direct his

response. The lord led the pastor to the words he was seeking,

"WELL Yes, Mayor, it IS my job to bury the dead, BUT I always like to notify

the next of kin first!"

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God she asked, "Is my time up?"

God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months & 8 days to live."

Upon recovery the woman decided to stay in the hospital to have a facelift, liposuction, and tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change the color of her hair. Since she had so much more time to live she figured she might as well make the most of it.

After her last operation she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God she said, "I thought you said I had another 40 years?

Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of that ambulance?"

God replied, "I didn't recognize you!"

A minister was seated next to a cowboy on a flight

to Texas. After the plane took off, the cowboy

asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought

and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the minister if he

would like a drink.

Appalled, the minister replied, "I'd rather be tied

up and taken advantage of by a woman of ill-repute,

than let liquor touch my lips."

The cowboy then handed his drink back to the

attendant and said, "Me too, I didn't know we had a choice".

She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint the porch" he said. "How much will you charge me?"

Delighted, the girl quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint, brushes and everything she would need were in the garage.

The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?"

"That's a bit cynical, isn't it?" he responded.

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes."

A few hours later the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

"You're finished already??" the startled husband asked.

"Yes," the blonde replied, "and I even had paint left over so I gave it two coats."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her along with a $10 tip.

"Thank you," the blonde said, "And, by the way, it's not a Porch, it's an Audi."

Casey,

would you please add these two pictures of 56-0533 to the gallery.

Thanks.

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic

name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of

Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called

Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful

consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced

that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also

considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of

course, Ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in

liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage

suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to

literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this

a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails",

"highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will

market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.

Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants

and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040,

there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge

erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them

LIFE AFTER DEATH:

"DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH?" THE BOSS ASKED ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES.

CHILDREN'S SERMON:

ONE EASTER SUNDAY MORNING AS THE MINISTER WAS PREACHING THE CHILDREN'S SERMON, HE REACHED INTO HIS BAG OF PROPS AND PULLED OUT AN EGG. HE POINTED AT THE EGG AND ASKED THE CHILDREN, "WHAT'S IN HERE?" "I KNOW!" A LITTLE BOY EXCLAIMED. "PANTYHOSE!"

Men are NOT mind readers.

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.

Saturday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.

Let it be.

Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it in that way.

Crying is blackmail.

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!

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

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.

A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

If something we said can be interpreted in two ways and one of the

ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

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.

Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is a vegetable. We have

no idea what mauve is.

If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

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.

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer

you don't want to hear.

When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is

fine...

Really ..

Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, cars, or sex.

You have enough clothes.

You have too many shoes.

I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

Thank you for reading this

Muff,

Happy Birthday. May you have a great one.

Three vampires walk into a bar.

The bartender looks at them suspiciously,

but decides to serve them anyway.

"What’ll it be, boys?"

The first vampire says

"Blood. Give me blood."

The second vampire says

"I too wish for blood!"

The third vampire says

"Give me plasma."

The Bartender smiles and says

"Got it. Two bloods, and a blood-light."

Jeb and Jethro live in the hills, about 5 miles outside of town. Jeb asks Jethro to go in to town to pick up some lumber. Jethro walks the 5 miles to town to the local

lumberyard.

"Jeb says we're gonna need some 4 x 2's" Jethro tells the yardman.

"Do you mean 2 x 4's?" asks the yardman.

"Well, I don't rightly know, I better go ask Jeb" says Jethro and walks the 10 miles to the hills and back to town.

"Jeb says we're gonna need 2 x 4's" Jethro tells the yardman.

"Now, how many 2 x 4's will you need?" asks the yardman.

"Well, I don't rightly know, I better go ask Jeb." says Jethro, and again walks the 10 miles to the hills and back to town.

"Jeb says were gonna need about 40 of 'em" Jethro tells the yardman.

"Now, how long will you need them?" asks the yardman.

"Well, I don't rightly know, I better go ask Jeb" says Jethro and yet again walks the 10 miles to the hills and back to town.

Upon returning Jethro says to the yardman, "Jeb says you better give 'em to us for a while . . .

we're gonna build a barn."

Have you ever wondered

Why the sun lightens our hair,

His pediatrician asked six-year-old Johnny, who watched a good many TV ads

"Johnny, if you found a couple of dollars and had to spend them, what would you buy?â€

“A box of Tampax,†he replied without hesitation.

“Tampax?†said the doctor. “What would you do with that?â€

“Well,†said Johnny, “I do not know exactly, but it’s sure worth two dollars.

With Tampax, it says on TV, you can go swimming, go horseback riding, and also go skating, any time you want to.â€
