Three men, one American, one Japanese and an Irishman were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The American pressed his forearm
and the beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. "That was my pager," he said, "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."
A few minutes later a 'phone rang. The Japanese fellow lifted his palm to his ear.
When he finished he explained, "That was my mobile 'phone.
I have a microchip in my hand."

The Irishman felt decidedly low tech, but not to be outdone he decided
he had to do something just as impressive. He stepped out of the sauna
and went to the bathroom. He returned with a piece of toilet paper
hanging from his ass.

The others raised their eyebrows and stared at him.

The Irishman glanced around behind and said ....
" B-Jesus, will you look at that, I'm getting a fax!!!"

Subject: No speeka da same language


A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in
an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at
first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men
say the following:

"Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come
once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and
pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."

"You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly.
"In this country ... we don't speak aloud in public places about our
sex lives . . . "

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man ... "Who talkin' bouta sexa? ...

"How to keep a healthy level of insanity "

I got this a few years ago from a German who probably got it from an American

1. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want that super sized.
4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in"
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. In the memo field of all your cheques, write for sexual favours.
7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."
8. Don’t use punctuation.
9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
10. Ask people what gender they are.
11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."
12. Sing along at the opera.
13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don’t rhyme.
14. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can’t attend their party because you're not in the mood.
16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.
17. When the money comes out the atm, scream, "I won!” I won!" "3rd time this week!!!!!"
18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling, "Run for your lives, they're loose!!"
19. Tell your children over dinner "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

A young blonde is on vacation and driving through the Everglades. She wants to take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but is very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors are asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouts, "Well then, maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator, so I can get a pair of shoes for free!"

The shopkeeper says with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, just go and give it a try!"

The blonde heads out toward the swamps, determined to catch an alligator.

Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to the side of the levee where he spots that same young woman standing waist deep in the murky bayou water, shotgun in hand.

Just then, he spots a huge 9-foot gator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning speed, she takes aim, kills the creature and hauls it onto the slimy bank of the swamp. Lying nearby are 7 more of the dead creatures, all lying on their backs.

The shopkeeper stands on the bank, watching in silent amazement. The blonde struggles and flips the gator onto its back. Rolling her eyes heaven-ward and screaming in frustration, she shouts ..



"DAMN ... THIS ONE'S BAREFOOT TOO!"

A Redhead Problem

A young redhead goes into the doctor's office and says that her body
hurts wherever she touches it.

"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."

She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony.

She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams.
Everywhere she touches makes her scream.

The doctor says, "You're not really a redhead are you?"

"No," she says, "I'm actually a blonde."

"I thought so," the doctor says. "Your finger is broken

A gas station in Alabama was trying to increase its sales, so the owner put up a sign saying, "Free Sex with Fill-Up".
Soon a local redneck pulled in, filled his tank, and then asked for his free sex.

The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex.

The redneck then guessed 8, and the proprietor said, "You were close. The number was 7. Sorry, no sex this time."

A week later, the same redneck, along with a buddy, Bubba, pulled in for a fill-up. Once again he asked for his free sex.

The proprietor gave him the same story. The redneck guessed 2 this time. Again the proprietor said, "Sorry, it was 3. You were close,but no free sex this time."

As they were driving away, the redneck said to his buddy, Bubba, "I think that game is rigged. He doesn't really give away free sex."
Bubba replied, "No it ain't, Billy. My wife won twice last week."

At a risk of offending various minority groups - eg Americans, pilots, airline passengers and the visually challenged:



The following is from an American Airlines employee:

The entrance opens, two men dressed in Pilots' uniforms walk up the
aisle.

Both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a guide dog, and the other
is tapping his way along the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads
through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and
the engines start up.

The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign
that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people
sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at
the edge of the airport territory.

As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water,
panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts
smoothly into the air. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly,
and soon all retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the
plane is in good hands.

In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,
"You know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're
all gonna die."

A farmer in New Zealand buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool.
After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant
and phones a vet for help. The vet tells him that he should try artificial
insemination.

The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting
to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep
are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and
instead will lie down and wallow in grass when they are pregnant.

The man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that
artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the sheep himself. So,
he loads the sheep into his Land Rover, drives them out into the woods, has
sex with them all, brings them back, and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all
still standing around, he deduces that the first try didn't take, and loads
them in the Land Rover again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each
sheep twice for good measure, brings them back, and goes to bed exhausted.

Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing round. "Try
again," he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up, and drive them out
to the woods. He spends all day banging the sheep and upon returning home,
falls listlessly into bed.

The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look out of
the window. He asks his wife to look, and tell him if the sheep are lying in
the grass. "No," she says, "they're all in the Land Rover, and one of them
is beeping the horn." Razz
