                                                February 18, 1994

                                                ADMINISTRATION
SUBJECT:  Restroom Use Policy

In the past, employees were permitted to make trips to the restroom
under informal guidelines.  Effective immediately, a Restroom Trip
Policy will be established to provide a more consistent method of
accounting for each employee's restroom time and ensuring equal
treatment of all employees.

Under the policy a "Restroom Trip Bank" will be established for each
employee.  The first day of each month, employees will be given
twenty Restroom Trip Credits.  These credits may be accumulated.

Within four to six weeks, the entrance doors to all restrooms are
being equipped with personal identification stations and computer-
linked voice printk recognition devices.  Before the end of the month
each employee must provide two copies of voice prints (one normal and
one under stress) to the Human Resources Department.  The voice print
recognition station will be operational but not restrictive during
the entire month.  Employees should acquaint themselves with the
stations during that period.

If the employee's Restroom Trip Bank balance reaches zero, the doors to
the restrooms will not unlock for that employee's voice until the first
of the next month.  In additin, all restroom stalls are being equipped
with time paper roll retractors.  If the stall is occupied for more
than three minutes, an alarm will sound.  Thirthy-seconds after the
alarm sounds, the roll of paper will retract into the wall, the toliet
will flush, and the stall door will open.  If the stall remains
occupied your picture will be taken.

The picture will then be posted on the bulletin board located in the
Employee Relations Office.  Anyone's picture showing up three times
will immediately be terminated.  If you have any questions about
this policy, please ask your supervisor.  They have all received
advanced instructions.

Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)

  Mouse balls are now available as FRU.  Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate
or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement.  Because of
the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only
be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside
of the mouse.  Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls.
Ball removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse.
Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method.  Domestic balls are
replaced using the twist-off method.  Mouse balls are not usually static
sensitive.  However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.  Upon

 A Visit from a Silicon Impostor

 A few weeks before Christmas,
 One Nine Ninety-Four,
 The whole world was stirring with outrage galore.
 The shockings related to gross lack of care
 Whether all had the margin of error to spare.
 Small companies nestled all snug in their pride
 That their vision of equal respect had applied.
 And papa with the trackball (I, saving my wrist)
 Had just settled our brains for a game-maybe Myst.
 When out on the net, in the press, such a clatter
 And chatter arose! Here is what was the matter:
 Away to the window I flew to find out
 What Tom Nicely's discovery was all about.
 Those ads on the TV and ads in the mags
 Gave the luster of payday to all of their brags
 When what to my wondering eye it appears
 That the floating point error "news" is in arrears.
 The error is bad. The arrears part is sick,
 So I knew in a moment it wasn't Saint Nick!
 More rapid than eagles, supporters they came.
 And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.
 On PB, on Gateway, on Tandy and Acer,
 On Compaq, on Stupid, on Dell and Fujitsu
 To the top of the boards to the top of The Wall
 Now stash away, stash away, stash away all!
 As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly
 When they meet with an obstacle reach to the sky
 So up to the analysts his coarsers flew.
 It remains to be seen what they further will do.
 And then in a moment I heard in the snow
 The prancing and pawing of each CEO.
 As I drew in my head and was turning around
 Down the chimney this chipmaker came with a bound.
 He was dressed all in gold from his head to his foot,
 Reputation all tarnished with greedy pursuit
 He had a broad grin like an open ellipse
 And a confident stance poised to shoot from both hips
 With a wink of an eye and a shake of his head
 He tried vainly to say I had nothing to dread.
 With arrogant zeal he went straight to his work
 To fill the stock holdings, then rose, (what a jerk)
 And laying a finger aside of his nose
 As much as to say, "You don't count." Then he rose.
 He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
 And away they all flew like the cone of a missile
 But I'm here to exclaim, if Intel is inside,
 Happy Christmas to you,
 Just don't try to divide!

                     Pat McCornack









 "Star Trek Lost Episodes"
 
  "Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts 
at
 finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to
 access their command pathways?"
 
 "Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching
 through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology.
"
 
 
 
  "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?"
 
  "Allow me to explain. We will send this
 program, for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command
 pathways. Once inside their root command unit, it will begin 
consuming
 system resources at an unstoppable rate."
 
  "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter
 their processing systems to increase their storage capacity?"
 
  "Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a
 new version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources
 increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be 
able
 to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of  their processing 
ability
 will be taken over and none will be available for their normal
 operational functions."
 
  "Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable
 geometric shape' idea."
 
 . . . . 15 Minutes Later . . . .
 
   "Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in 
the
 command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all
 resources.  We however have not received any confirmation  of the
 expected 'upgrade'."
 
  "Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage 
and
 CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an
 'upgrade' to compensate for their increase."
 
   "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if 
their
 is something we have missed."
 
   "Sir, I believe their is a reason for the failure in the
 'upgrade'.  Appearently the Borg have circumvented that part of the
 plan by not sending in their registration cards.
 
   "Captain we have no choice.  Requesting permission to 
begin
 emergency escape sequence 3F . . ."
 
   "Wait, Captain I just detected their CPU 
capacity
 has suddenly dropped to 0% !"
 
   "Data, what does your scanners show?"
 
   "Appearently the Borg have found the internal 'Windows' 
module
 named 'Solitaire' and it has used up all the CPU capacity."
 
   "Lets wait and see how long this 'solitaire' can reduce
 their functionality."
 
 . . . .  Two Hours Pass  . . . .
 
   "Geordi whats the status on the Borg?"
 
   "As expected the Borg are attempting to re-engineer to
 compensate for increased CPU and storage demands, but each time 
they
 successfully increase resources I have setup our closest deep space
 monitor beacon to transmit more 'windows' modules from something
 called the 'Microsoft fun-pack'.
 
  "How much time will that buy us ?"
 
   "Current Borg solution rates allow me to predicate an
 interest time span of 6 more hours."
 
   "Captain, another vessel has entered our sector."
 
   "Identify."
 
   "It appears to have markings very similar to the 
'Microsoft'
 logo"
 
   "THIS IS ADMIRAL BILL GATES OF THE MICROSOFT
 FLAGSHIP MONOPOLY.  WE HAVE POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF UNREGISTERED
 SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTOR.  SURRENDER ALL ASSETS AND WE CAN AVOID ANY
 TROUBLE.  YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS"
 
   "The alien ship has just opened its forward hatches and
 released thousands of humanoid shaped objects."
 
   "Magnify forward viewer on the alien craft"
 
   "Good God captain!  Those are humans floating straight 
toward
 the Borg ship with no life support suits !  How can they survive 
the
 tortures of deep space ?!"
 
   "I don't believe that those are humans sir, if you will 
look
 closer I believe you will see that they are carrying something
 recognized by twenty-first century man as doe skin leather 
briefcases,
 and wearing Armani suits"
 
   "Lawyers !!"
 
   "It can't be.  All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent
 hurtling into the sun in 2017 during the Great Awakening."
 
   "True, but appearently some must have survived."
 
   "They have surrounded the Borg ship and are covering it 
with
 all types of papers."
 
   "I believe that is known in ancient venacular as 'red tape' 
it
 often proves fatal."
 
   "They're tearing the Borg to pieces !"
 
   "Turn off the monitors.  I can't stand to watch, not even
 the Borg deserve that."

     Nuns are admitted to Heaven through a special gate and are
expected to make one last confession before they become angels.

     Several nuns are lined up at this gate waiting to be absolved of
their     last sins before they are made holy.

     "And so,"  says St. Peter, "have you ever had any contact with
a penis?"

     "Well," says the first Nun in line, "I did once just touch the
tip of     one with the tip of my finger."

     "OK" says St. Peter, "Dip your finger in the holy water and pass
on     into heaven."

     The next Nun admits that "Well, yes, I did once get carried away
and     I, you know, sort of massaged one a bit."

     "OK" says St. Peter, "Rinse your hand in the holy water and pass
on     into heaven."

     Suddenly there is some jostling in the line and one of the nuns
is     trying to cut in front.

     "Well now, what's going on here?"  says St. Peter.

     "Well, your excellency," says the Nun who is trying to improve
her     position in line, "If I'm going to have to gargle that stuff, I
want to do it before Sister Mary Thomas sticks her butt in it!"

    says, "My husband is cheating on me, I just know it.  I found
    a pair of
    stockings in his jacket pocket, and they weren't mine!"
    
    The second says,
    "My husband is cheating on me, I just know it.  I found
    a condom in his
    wallet, so I poked it full of holes with my sewing needle!"
    
    The third
    woman fainted.
    
    ***One day, little Billy comes home from kindergarten for lunch.
  Not
    finding
    his mother in the kitchen, or the living room, he heads upstairs 
  to
    check
    her bedroom.
    
    He opens the door, and what does he see, but his
    father, who had also come
    home for lunch, stripped naked, on top of his
    mother, also naked, heavily
    into the act of lovemaking.
    
    Not wanting to
    traumatize the boy, the parents continue as if nothing was
    wrong.
    
    Billy
    watches, and after a couple of minutes asks, "Daddy, can I climb 
  on
    and
    have a horsie ride?"
    
    "Of course, Son, we're a family."
    
    So Billy climbs on
    and after a few more minutes his mother starts moaning
    and writhing
    wildly.
    
    "Hang on Dad!", cries Billy, "this is where me and the mailman
    usually
    fall off!"
    




Bill Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory, being
   sized up by St. Peter.

   "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 America, yet you also 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, what's the difference between the two?" St. Peter said,
   "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, if it will help your
   decision."

   "Fine, but where should I go first?"

   "I'll leave that up to you."

   "Okay then," said Bill, "Let's try Hell first."

   So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear
   waters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in the water,
   laughing and frolicking about.  The sun was shining; the temperature
   perfect. He was very pleased.

   "This is great!" he told St. Peter. "If this is hell, I REALLY  want to see
   heaven!""Fine," said St. Peter, and off they went.

   Heaven was a place high 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. "Hmmm.  I think
   I'd prefer Hell," he told St. Peter.

   "Fine," retorted St. Peter, "as you desire."

   So Bill Gates went to Hell.

   Two weeks later, St. Peter decided to check on the late billionaire to see
   how he was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill, shackled to a
   wall, screaming amongst  hot flames in dark caves, being burned and tortured
   by  demons.

   "How's everything going?" he asked Bill.

   Bill responded, with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment, "This
   is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I  visited two weeks ago!  I can't
   believe this is happening! What  happened to that other place, with the
   beautiful beaches, the scantily-clad women playing in the water?!???"

   "That was a demo," replied St. Peter.


ANGRY IN THE SKY:

God was fed up.  In a crash of thunder He yanked up to
Heaven three influential men:  Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin and Bill
Gates.

"The human race is a complete disappointment," God boomed.   "You each
have one week to prepare your followers for the End of the World."

With another crash of thunder they found themselves back on Earth.

Clinton immediately called his cabinet.  "I have good news and bad
news," he announced grimly.  "The good news is that there is a God.  
The bad news is, He's really mad and plans to end the world in a week."

In Russia, Yeltsin announced to parliament, "Comrades, I have bad news
and worse news.  The bad news is that we were wrong; there is a God
after all.  The worse news is He's mad and is going to end the world in a
week."

Meanwhile, Bill Gates called a meeting of his top engineers.  "I have
good news and better news.  The good news is that God considers me one
of the three most influential men on Earth," he beamed.  "The better
news is we don't have to fix WINDOWS 95."








RULES FOR BANK ROBBERS

    According to the FBI, most modern-day bank robberies are
 "unsophisticated and unprofessional crimes," committed by young male
 repeat offenders who apparently don't know the first thing about their
 business.  This information was included in an interesting, amusing
 article titles "How Not to Rob a Bank," by Tim Clark, which appeared in
 the 1987 edition of The Old Farmers Almanac.

    Clark reported that in spite of the widespread use of surveillance
 cameras, 76 percent of bank robbers use no disguise, 86 percent never
 study the bank before robbing it, and 95 percent make no long-range plans
 for concealing the loot.  Thus, he offered this advice to would-be bank
 robbers, along with examples of what can happen if the rules aren't
 followed:

    1. Pick the right bank.  Clark advises that you don't follow the lead
 of the fellow in Anaheim, Cal., who tried to hold up a bank that was no
 longer in business and had no money.  On the other hand, you don't want
 to be too familiar with the bank.  A California robber ran into his
 mother while making his getaway.  She turned him in.

    2. Approach the right teller.  Granted, Clark says, this is harder to
 plan. One teller in Springfield, Mass., followed the holdup man out of
 the bank and down the street until she saw him go into a restaurant.  She
 hailed a passing police car, and the police picked him up.  Another
 teller was given a holdup note by a robber, and her father, who was next
 in line, wrestled the man to the ground and sat on him until authorities
 arrived.

    3. Don't sign your demand note.  Demand notes have been written on the
 back of a subpoena issued in the name of a bank robber in Pittsburgh, on
 an envelope bearing the name and address of another in Detroit, and in
 East Hartford, Conn., on the back of a withdrawal slip giving the
 robber's signature and account number.

    4. Beware of dangerous vegetables.  A man in White Plains, N.Y., tried
 to hold up a bank with a zucchini.  The police captured him at his house,
 where he showed them his "weapon."

    5. Avoid being fussy.  A robber in Panorama City, Cal., gave a teller a
 note saying, "I have a gun.  Give me all your twenties in this envelope."
 The teller said, "All I've got is two twenties."  The robber took them
 and left.

    6. Don't advertise.  A holdup man thought that if he smeared mercury
 ointment on his face, it would make him invisible to the cameras.
 Actually, it accentuated his features, giving authorities a much clearer
 picture.  Bank robbers in Minnesota and California tried to create a
 diversion by throwing stolen money out of the windows of their cars.
 They succeeded only in drawing attention to themselves.

    7. Take right turns only.  Avoid the sad fate of the thieves in Florida
 who took a wrong turn and ended up on the Homestead Air Force Base.  They
 drove up to a military police guardhouse and, thinking it was a
 tollbooth, offered the security men money.

    8. Provide your own transportation.  It is not clever to borrow the
 teller's car, which she carefully described to police.  This resulted in
 the most quickly solved bank robbery in the history of Pittsfield, Mass.

    9. Don't be too sensitive.  In these days of exploding dye packs,
 stuffing the cash into your pants can lead to embarrassing stains, Clark
 points out,not to mention severe burns in sensitive places--as bandits in
 San Diego and Boston painfully discovered.

   10. Consider another line of work.  One nervous Newport, R.I., robber,
 while trying to stuff his ill-gotten gains into his shirt pocket, shot
 himself in the head and died instantly.  Then there was the case of the
 hopeful criminal in Swansea, Mass., who, when the teller told him she had
 no money, fainted. He was still unconscious when the police arrived.

   In view of such ineptitude, it is not surprising that in 1978 and 1979,
 for example, federal and state officers made arrests in 69 percent of the
 bank holdups reported.







  An elderly lady walked into a branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank
building
  holding a large paper bag in her hand.  She told the young man at the
  window that she wished to take the $3 million she had in the bag and
open
  an account with the bank.  She said that first, though, she would like
to
  meet the President of Chase Manhattan Bank.  Due to the amount of
money
  involved, the teller seemed to think that that was a reasonable request
  and after opening the paper bag and seeing bundles of $1,000 bills
which
  amounted to right around $3 million, telephoned the President's
secretary
  to obtain an appointment for the woman.
  
  The woman was escorted upstairs and ushered into the president's
office.
  Introductions were made and she stated that she liked to get to know
the
  people she did business with on a more personal level.  The bank
  president then asked her how she came into such a large sum of
money.
  
  "Was it an inheritance?" he asked.
  
  "No," she answered.
  
  "Was it from playing the stock market?" he inquired. "No," she replied.
  
  He was quiet for some time, trying to think of where this elderly
woman
  could possibly have come up with $3 million dollars.
  
  "I bet," she stated.
  
  "As in horses?" he asked.
  
  "No," she replied.  "I bet people."  Seeing his confusion, she explained
  that she just bet on different things with people.  All of a sudden she
  said, "I'll bet you $25,000 that by 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning your
  balls will be square."
  
  The bank president figured she must be off her rocker and decided to
take
  her up on her bet.  He didn't know how he could lose.  For the rest of
  the day he was very careful.  He decided to stay home that evening
and
  take no chances as there was $25,000 at stake.
  
  When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he checked to
make
  sure everything was okay.  There was no difference in his scrotal
  appearance.  He looked the same as he always had.  He went to work
and
  waited for the woman to come in at 10:00 o'clock, humming as he
  went. He knew this would be his lucky day -- how often did he get
handed
  $25,000 for doing nothing?
  
  At 10:00 o'clock sharp the woman was shown into his office.  With
her
  was a man.  When the bank president asked what the other man was
doing in
  the office, she informed the president that he was her lawyer and she
  always took him along when there was that much money involved.
  
  "Well," she asked, "what about our bet?"
  
  "I don't know how to tell you  this," he replied, "but I'm the same as
  I've always been, only $25,000 richer!"
  
  The lady seemed to accept this, but requested that she be able to see
  herself.  The bank president thought this was a reasonable request
  considering the amount of money involved and dropped his trousers.
  
  She instructed him to bend over and then she grabbed hold of him. 
Sure
  enough, everything was fine.  His balls were not square.
  
  The bank president then looked up and saw her lawyer, standing
across the
  room banging his head against the wall.  "What's wrong with him?" he
  inquired.
  
  "Oh, him," she answered.  I bet him $100,000 that by 10:00 o'clock this
  morning I'd have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls."

        Twas the night before christmas
        And all through the house
        Everybody felt shity
        Even the mouse.

        Mom at the whorehouse
        And dad smoking grass
        Had just settled down
        For a nice piece of ass.

        When out on the lawn 
        I saw a big dick
        I knew in a moment
        It must be Saint Nick.

        He came down the chimney
        Like a bat out of hell
        I knew in a moment
        The fucker had fell.

        He filled all ous stockings
        With pretzers and beer
        And a big rubber dick
        For my brother the queer.

        He rose up the chimney
        With a thunderous fart
        The son of a bitch
        Blew the chimney apart.

        He swore and he cursed
        As he rode out of sight
        Piss on you all 
        And have a hell of a night!






AN ENGINEER'S VIEW OF SANTA CLAUS:

1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species
of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are
insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer
which only Santa has ever seen.

2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT
since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and
Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378
million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average
(census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes.
One presumes there's at least one good child in each.

3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the
different
time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to
west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second.
This is to say that for each Christian household with good children,
Santa
has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the
chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the
tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get
back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.  Assuming that each
of these 91.8 million stops  are evenly distributed around the earth
(which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our
calculations we will accept), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per
household, a total trip of 71.604 million miles, not counting stops to
do
what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding etc.
This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000
times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest
man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky
27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles
per hour.

4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming
that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2
pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is
invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can
pull no more than 300 pounds.  Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see
point #1) could pull TEN TIMES
the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We
need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting
the weight of  the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison -
this
is
four times the  weight of the Queen Elizabeth.

5) 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air
resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as
spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of
reindeer
will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy per second each. In short,
they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer
behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire
reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second.
Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06
times
greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim)
would be pinned to the back
of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve,
he's  dead now.

Ho-Ho-Ho,  Merry #$&*%@ Christmas!!





These two guys are in the wild west of the US about 150 years ago.
They walk into a bar and they see a sign which says "WE PAY $100 FOR
INDIAN SCALPS".  So Charles turns to Edgar and says "hey look that's
easy money old chap, let us find us some natives."  So the two of them
go out, find two indians, scalp them and duly get their their $100.

That night they sleep in a tent on the edge of town.  The next morning
Charles wakes up and sticks his head out of the tent and he sees
20,000 indians standing in a circle around them.  He quickly gets back
into the tent and shouts excitedly: "Edgar, we're rich we're rich!"





-Have you ever had sex in three?
-No.  Why?

A Final Visit From Saint Nicholas
  _________________________________

'Twas the night before Christmas and one thing was clear--
that old Yuletide spirit no longer was here
inflation was rising; the crime rate was tripling;
the fuel bills were up, and our mortgage was crippling;

I opened a beer as I watched TV,
where Donny sang "O Holy Night" to Marie;
the kids were in bed, getting sleep like they should;
or else they were stoned, which was almost as good.

While Ma with her ball-point was making a fuss
'bout folks we'd send cards to who'd sent none to us;
"Those ingrates," she thundered, and pounded her fist;
"Next year you can bet they'll be crossed off our list!"

When out in the yard came a deafening blare;
'twas our burgler alarm, and I hollered, "Who's there?"
I turned on the searchlight, which lit up the night,
and, armed with my handgun, beheld a strange sight.

Some red-suited clown with a white beard immense
was caught in our eight foot electrified fence;
he called out, "I'm Santa!  I bring you no malice!"
Said I, "if you're Santa, I'm Telly Savalas!"

But, lo, as his pressence grew clear to me,
I saw in the glare that it just might be he!
I called off our doberman clawing his sleigh
and, frisking him twice, said, "I think he's ok."

I led him inside where he slumped in a chair,
and he poured out the following tale of dispair;
"On Christmas eves past I was jolly and chuckling,
but now 'neath the pressures, I fear I am buckling."

"You'll note I've arrived with no reindeer this year,
and without them, my sleigh is much harder to steer;
although I would like to continue to use them,
the wildlife officials believe I abuse them."

"To add to my problem, Ralph Nader dropped by
and told me my sleigh was unsafe in the sky;
I now must wear seatbelts, despite my objections,
and bring in the sleigh twice a year for inspections."

"Last April my workers came forth with demands,
and I soon had a general strike on my hands;
I couldn't afford to pay unionized elves,
so the missus and I did the work ourselves."

"And then, later on, came additional trouble--
an avalanche left my fine workshop in rubble;
my Allstate insurance was worthless, because
they had shrewdly slipped in a 'no avalanche' clause."

"And after that came an I.R.S audit;
the government claimed I was out to defraud it;
they finally nailed me for 65 grand,
which I paid through the sale of my house and my land."

"And yet I persist, though it gives me a scare
flying blind through the blanket of smog in the air;
not to mention the hunters who fill me with dread,
taking shots at my sleigh as I pass overhead."

"My torn-up red suit, and these bruises and swellings,
I got fighting muggers in multiple dwellings.
And if you should ask  why I'm glowing tonight,
it's from flying too close to a nuclear site."

He rose from his chair and he heaved a great sigh,
and I couldn't help notice a tear in his eye;
"I've tried," he declared, "to reverse each defeat,
but I fear that today I've become obsolete."

He slumped out the door and returned to his sleigh,
and these last words he spoke as he went on his way;
"no longer can I do the job that's required;
if anyone asks, just say, 'Santa's retired!'".






      What's with the people who put carpeting on the lid of their toilet
seat?   What are they thinking -- "Gosh, if we have a party there may not
be  enough standing room; I'd better carpet the toilet too."
     
      Have you ever noticed that the waiter who takes your order is not
the  one who  brings your food anymore?  What is THAT about?  And
which waiter are you tipping  anyway?  I think next time I go to a 
restaurant I'll just say, "Oh, sorry, I only  eat the food.  The guy who pays
 the bill will be along shortly." 
      
	Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say, "No
animals  allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs?" Who is that sign for?  
Is it for the dog, or the blind person?

      Why do people give each other flowers?  To celebrate various
important  occasions, they're killing living  creatures?   Why restrict it to
plants?  Sweetheart, let's make up.  Have this deceased  squirrel."

      Can't we just get rid of wine lists?  Do we really have to be reminded 
every time we go out to a nice  restaurant that we have no idea what 
we are doing? Why don't they just give us a trigonometry quiz with the menu? 

      If airline seat cushions are such great flotation devices, why don't
you  ever see anyone take one to the beach?

      Why do they call it a "building"?
It looks like they're finished.  Why isn't it a "built"?

     Why is it when you turn on the TV you see ads for telephone
companies, and when you turn on the radio you hear ads for TV shows, and when
you get put on hold on the phone you hear a radio station?

      Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space but okay to go
 the bathroom in a handicapped stall?

      How come you have to pay someone to rotate your tires?   Isn't that
the  basic idea behind the wheel?  Don't they rotate on their own?

      All the king's HORSES and all the king's men?  Are you kidding me?
No wonder they couldn't put Humpty together again.  Just what did those
 idiots expect the horses to do, anyway? 

      Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light, that when the
 person in front of you pulls up a couple of inches, you are compelled to 
move up too? Do we really think we are making progress toward our destination?
"Whew, I thought we would be late, but now that I am nine inches closer,
 I can stop for coffee and a danish!"  

      Have you ever noticed how they keep improving your laundry
detergent,  but  they still can't get those blue flakes out?
Why do we trust them to get our clothes clean?  These guys can't even 
get the DETERGENT white!

      Did you see these new minivan ads? 
All they talk about are cup holders, kiddy seats and doors.  What kind of 
advertising is that?  When you see an ad for a suit, do they say, "And 
look at the zipper!  Carefully hidden, but easily accessible when you 
need it!" I think not.




These are responses to a contest sponsored by OMNI magazine:

     Grand Prize Winner:

     When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and
     when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered
     side facing down.  I propose to strap buttered toast to the
     back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above
     the ground.  With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed
     monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

     Runners-up:

     If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite number
     of pickup trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds
     at an infinite number of highway signs, they will eventually
     produce all the worlds great literary works in Braille.

     Why Yawning Is Contagious:  You yawn to equalize the
     pressure on your eardrums.  This pressure change outside
     your eardrums unbalances other people's ear pressures, so
     they must yawn to even it out.

     Communist China is technologically underdeveloped
     because they have no alphabet and therefore cannot use
     acronyms to communicate ideas at a faster rate.

     The earth may spin faster on its axis due to deforestation.
     Just as a figure skater's rate of spin increases when the
     arms are brought in close to the body, the cutting of tall
     trees may cause our planet to spin dangerously fast.

     Honorable Mentions:

     Birds take off at sunrise.  On the opposite side of the
     world, they are landing at sunset.  This causes the earth to
     spin on its axis.

     The reason hot-rod owners raise the backs of their cars is
     that it's easier to go faster when you're always going
     downhill.

     The quantity of consonants in the English language is

A panda walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich.  He eats the
sandwich, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead.

As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, "Hey! Where are you
going?  You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your sandwich!"

The panda yells back at the bartender, "Hey man, I'm a Panda! Look it up!"

The bartender opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for
panda: "A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinct 
black and white coloring.  Eats shoots and leaves".







The 'Car Talk' show (on NPR) with Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers
have a feature called the 'Puzzler', and a recent 'Car Talk Puzzler'
was about the Battle of Agincourt.  The French, who were overwhelmingly
favored to win the battle, threatened to cut a certain body part off of
all captured English soldiers so that they could never fight again.
The English won in a major upset and waved the body part in question at
the French in defiance.

The puzzler was:  What was this body part?  This is the answer
submitted by a listener:

     Dear Click and Clack,

     Thank you for the Agincourt 'Puzzler', which clears up some
profound questions of etymology, folklore and emotional
symbolism.  The body part which the French proposed to cut off of the
English after defeating them was, of course, the middle finger, without
which it is impossible to draw the renowned English longbow.  This
famous weapon was made of the native English yew tree, and so the act
of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking yew".  Thus, when the
victorious English waved their middle fingers at the defeated French,
they said, "See, we can still pluck yew!  PLUCK YEW!"

     Over the years some 'folk etymologies' have grown up around this
symbolic gesture.  Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say (like
"pleasant mother pheasant plucker", which is who you had to go to for
the feathers used on the arrows), the difficult consonant cluster at
the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'f', and
thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are
mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter.
It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows that the
symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird".

     And yew all thought yew knew everything!





  1. A good place to meet a man is at a dry cleaners. These men usually
     have jobs and bathe.

     2.  Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.

     3. Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when
     he watches sports on TV, he thinks if he concentrates, he can help his
     team. If his team is in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case
     they call him.

     4. Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not
     being the first is upsetting to their psyche.

     5. All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my
     pillow, instead of a gun.

     6. Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've
     experienced pain and bought jewelry.

     7. Men love watches with multiple functions. My husband has one that
     is a combination address book, telescope, and piano.

     8. All men hate to hear, "We need to talk about our relationship."
     These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General
     Schwarzkopf.

     9. Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire, and
     the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.

     10. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen
     a man walk into a party and say, "Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed; get
     me out of here. There is another man wearing the same suit!".

     11. Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually
     on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.

     12. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

     13. When four or more women get together they talk about men.

     14. Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.

     15. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the
     movie, "The Way We Were" twice voluntarily.

     16. Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.

     17. Men are self confident because they grow up identifying with
     superheroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up
     identifying with Barbie.

     18. Men forget everything; women remember everything. That is why men
     need instant replay in sports. They have already forgotten what
     happened.

     19 When a women tries on clothes from her closet that feel tight, she
     assumes she has gained weight. When a man tries on something from his
     closet that feels tight, he assumes his clothes shrank.

     20. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With
     female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause -
     you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.

Why Engineers Don't Write Recipe Books:

Here's an example--

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1.)  532.35 cm3 gluten
2.)  4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3.)  4.9 cm3 refined halite
4.)  236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5.)  177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22011
6.)  177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22011
7.)  4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8.)  Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
9.)  473.2  cm# theobroma cacao
10.)  236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat
transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two
and three with constant agitation.  In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a
radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six
and seven until the mixture is homogenous.  To reactor #2, add ingredient
eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor
#1.  Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant
agitation.  Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any
temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture
piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600mm).  Heat in a 460K oven for a
period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order
rate expression (see JACOS, 21,55), or until golden brown.  Once the
reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table,
allowing the produce to come to equilibrium.

    O.J. Aftermath: "The lawyers are under a temporary gag order,"
      says Jay Leno. "See, personally, I am against temporary gag
      orders. They should be permanent gag orders so we never have
      to hear from these people ever again."
    * "The O.J. Simpson jury has sent the world a message,"
      says Bill Maher. "If you kill someone in L.A., you are
      looking at a very stiff fine."
    * "The $8.5 million paints a grim financial picture for O.J.
      To raise that kind of cash, 'The Naked Gun' would have to
      gross $1.7 trillion." (Bob Mills)
    * "O.J. will be left one set of golf clubs so he can continue
      his quest for the real killer." (Gary Easley)

    "President Clinton is trying to decide where he wants to put
      his presidential library, but there could be a major problem.
      How do you have a presidential library when you've shredded
      all your documents?" (Leno)

    Those Busy Archeologists: "A British archeologist has found globs
      of flavored tar that was chewed and spat out by a prehistoric
      man," says Jenny Church. "It's the first fossil evidence of
      major league baseball."

    Our Government: "President Clinton spoke. And then a guy came on
      and gave the Democratic response." (Maher)

    Capitol Beat: The president delivered his State of the Union
      address Tuesday. "President Clinton told Congress he needs its
      help in the war on corruption. The anti-corruption side is
      gaining on them." (Argus Hamilton)
    * "The speech was good, but those Indonesian subtitles
      got annoying," observes Alex Pearlstein.

    In the News: "Today is National Weatherperson's Day.
      There's a 20% chance no one will care." (BBS Briefs)

    Action star Steven Seagal will travel with the Dalai Lama to
      Taiwan. "The Tibetan leader plans to teach Seagal the road
      to spiritual enlightenment and Seagal will teach the Dalai
      Lama how to disembowel an intruder with a shrimp fork."

    "Star Wars" has grossed $36 million. "After 20 years a whole
      new generation was introduced to the phrase ' "Star Wars"
      action figures sold separately.' " (Olympia Daily World)

    People magazine reports that one of the main characters on
      "Melrose Place" will die of a brain tumor. "What is it
      gonna grow on?" asks Leno.

    Ecology Watch: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
      nominated the 5-inch bog turtle to the endangered
      species list. "Approval is expected to move very slowly,
      but steadily, through Congress." (Jerry Perisho)




Five surgeons are taking a coffee break.

1st surgeon says:

"Accountants are the best to operate on because when you open them up,
everything inside is numbered."

2nd surgeon says:

"Nah, librarians are the best.   Everything inside them is in
alphabetical order."

3rd responds:

"Try electricians, man!   Everything inside THEM is color coded."

4th intercedes:

"I prefer lawyers.   They're heartless, spineless, gutless and their
heads and their butts are interchangeable."

To which the 5th surgeon, who has been quietly listening to the
conversation while sipping from a bottle of Jack Daniels (as all
surgeons do between operations), says:

"I like engineers... they always  understand when you have a few parts
left over at the end."

 Although happy, Adam felt that he was missing something in the Garden 
     of Eden.  "You are lonely," said God.  "I will make you a companion.  
     A woman."  Adam looked puzzled and asked, "What's a 'woman', God?"
     
     "Ahhhh," began God.  "Eyes so beautiful they reach the soul.  Hair 
     that blows with the wind.  Skin soft to the caress.  A curvaceous body 
     the likes of which creation has never seen.  All this and more."  
     "There's more?" asked Adam, excitedly.
     
     "Yes," replied God.  "Woman will pleasure you in ways you never 
     dreamed possible.  She will comfort you, attend to your needs.  She 
     will fill your mornings with pleasure and your evenings with ecstasy."
     
     Knowing that God was a shrewd businessman, Adam asked God what this 
     was going to cost him.  "It's going to cost you you're right ear, your 
     right eye, your right arm, and your right testicle," was God's answer.
     
     Well, Adam thought on that for a moment and then said, "What can I get 
     for a rib?"






    
The party of the first part (herein referred to as she/her) 
being of sound mind and fairly good body, agrees to the 
following with the party of the second part (herein referred 
to as he/him) 
     
1. FULL DISCLOSURE: At the commencement of said relationship 
(colloquially referred to as the first date or match up), 
each party agrees to fully disclose any current 
girl/boyfriends, dependent children, bizarre religious 
beliefs, phobias, fears, social diseases, strange political 
affiliations, or currently active relationships with anyone 
else that have not yet been terminated.  Further each party 
agrees to make known any deep-seated 
mother/father/brother/sister complexes and fanatical 
obsessions with pets, careers, or organized sports. Failure 
to make these disclosures will result in the immediate 
termination of said relationship before it has a chance to 
get anywhere.
     
2. INDEMNIFICATION OF FRIENDS: Both parties agree to hold 
the person who arranged the liaison (colloquially referred 
to as the "matchmaker") blameless in the event the "fix-up" 
turns out to be a "real loser" or "psycho bitch". (For 
definition of "real loser", see "John DeLorean: My Story", 
available at most bookstores; George Hamilton at one of 
Imelda Marcos' parties; or any picture of Bob Guccione in 
Penthouse.  For definition of "psycho bitch," see Sharon 
Stone in "Basic Instinct," or Glenn Close in "Fatal 
Attraction.") 
     
3. DEFINITION OF RELATIONSHIP: Should said relationship 
proceed past the first "fix-up" both parties mutually agree 
to use the following terminology in describing their said 
"dating": For the first thirty (30) days both parties 
consent to say they are "going out". (This neither implies 
nor states any guarantee of exclusivity.) Following the 
first thirty (30) days said parties may say they are "seeing 
somebody" and may be referred to by third parties as "an 
item". Sixty (60) days following the commencement of the 
"first date" either member may elect to use the terms 
"girl/boyfriend" or "lover" and their mutual acquaintances 
may refer to them as "a couple".  Under no circumstances are 
the phrases "my better half," "the little woman," "the old 
ball and chain," or "my old man/lady" acceptable.  Further, 
if both members of the party consent, this timetable may be 
accelerated; however, if either party "gets too serious" and 
disregards this schedule, the other party may dissolve the 
relationship on  the grounds of "moving too fast" and may 
once again be said to be "on the market." 
     
4. TERMS OF EXCLUSIVITY: For the first thirty (30) days both 
parties agree not to ask questions about the others 
whereabouts on weekends, weeknights, or over long holiday 
periods. No unreasonable demands or expectations will be 
made; both parties agree they have no "rights" or "holds" on 
the other's time. Following the first six weeks or 
forty-five (45) days, if one party continues to be "missing 
in action" without explanation, the "wounded party" agrees 
to "give up".
     
5. DATING ETIQUETTE: For the first thirty (30) days both 
members of the couple agree to be overly considerate of the 
other's work pressures, schedules, and business ambitions. A 
minimum of three (3) phone calls will be made between the 
two parties during the working day, and each party will 
attempt - with best efforts - to originate 50% of the phone 
calls.   Additionally, for the first two weeks all dates 
will be made at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance; 
there will be no "running off in the middle of the night to 
console an old girl/boyfriend", and both parties agree to 
strike the phrase "but he/she needs me" from their 
vocabulary.  Further, during the first six (6) weeks each 
member of said relationship agrees to attempt at least one 
spontaneous "home cooked meal" and will arrange the delivery 
of at least one unexpected bouquet of flowers.  Following 
the first forty-five (45) days both parties will return to 
their normal personalities .
     
6. TERMS OF PAYMENT: It is agreed that - respective gross 
income aside - "he" will pick up the tab at all dinners, 
clubs, theaters, and breakfasts until:
     
     (a) He considers her suitably impressed, 
     (b) we are broke, or
     (c) He says, "this is ridiculous, you pay!". 
     
Not included in this agreement are meals ordered from the 
bedroom, which are subject to the availability of 
discretionary funds on hand at the time.
     
7. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS (occasionally known as the "Why do I 
bother to keep my own apartment?" codicil): Should said 
relationship progress to the point where the couple spends 
more then five nights a week together, every effort shall be 
made to split the time between their respective apartments. 
Further, it is agreed that both sides will attempt to 
silence the lewd remarks of landlords, or roommates. 
Additionally, both will avoid having their mother call at 
7:30 in the morning.  He agrees to "pick up after himself" 
while in residence at her apartment, including washing his 
whiskers out of the sink, and assisting with household 
duties. (By the same token, she agrees to respect his right 
to keep his apartment "a mess".)  (Especially since we tend 
to excel in this area!)
     
8. THE 90 DAY GRACE PERIOD: For the first three months, each 
member of the couple agrees to hold the other blameless in 
the euphoric use of phrases like "Let's move in together," 
"Why don't we start a family?"  and -- using archaic 
terminology -- "Let's get married." Additionally, each party 
agrees to love, cherish, honor, and defend the other party's 
right not to meet his parents.

both parties agree to give the relationship "one more shot".
     
     
     
     
     


The Physics of Hell:

A true story.  A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his

graduate students.  It had one question:

"Is hell exothermic or endothermic?  Support your answer with a proof."

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some 
variant.  One student, however wrote the following:

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If
they 
do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass.  So, at what rate are souls 
moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving?

I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not 
leave.  Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in

the world today.  Some of these religions state that if you are not a member
of 
their religion, you will go to hell.  Since, there are more than one of these 
religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project 
that all people and all souls go to hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in 
hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that
in
order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of 
the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.

So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter 
hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell 
breaks loose.

Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in

hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

It was not revealed what grade the student got.






 A recent Scottish immigrant to the U.S. attends his first baseball 
     game. After a base hit, he hears the fans roaring "Run... run!"
     
     The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands 
     up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-r-un yah 
     bahstard.  R-r- run!"
     
     A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased 
     with his knowledge of the game, screams "r-r-r-un ya bahstard, r-r-run 
     will ya."
     
     The next batter's count goes up to three and two.  As the pitch 
     crosses past outside the plate, he holds his swing.  The umpire calls 
     a walk the Scotsman stands up yelling "r-r-r-un ya bahstard, 
     r-r-run!".  All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down, 
     confused.  A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment, whispers "He 
     doesn't have to run, he's got four balls."  After this explanation the 
     Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, "Walk PR-R-ROUD, man!"
     
     
     
     

The (Future) Diary of a Mad Digital Homeowner:

Nov 28, 1995:
Moved in to my new digitally-maxed out Hermosa Beach house at last.
Finally, we live in the smartest house in the neighborhood.
Everything's networked.  The cable TV is connected to our phone, which
is connected to my personal computer, which is connected to the power
lines, all the appliances and the security system.  Everything runs
off a universal remote with the friendliest interface I've ever used.
Programming is a snap.  I'm like, totally wired.

Nov 30:  Hot Stuff!  Programmed my VCR from the office, turned up the
thermostat and switched on the lights with the car phone, remotely
tweaked the oven a few degrees for my pizza. Everything nice & cozy
when I arrived.  Maybe I should get the universal remote surgically
attached.

Dec 1:  Had to call the SmartHouse people today about bandwidth
problems.  The TV drops to about 2 frames/second when I'm talking on
the phone.  They insist it's a problem with the cable company's
compression algorithms.  How do they expect me to order things from
the Home Shopping Channel?

Dec 8:  Got my first SmartHouse invoice today and was unpleasantly
surprised.  I suspect the cleaning woman of reading Usenet from the
washing machine interface when I'm not here.  She must be downloading
one hell of a lot of GIFs from the binary groups, because packet
charges were through the roof on the invoice.

Dec 3:  Yesterday, the kitchen CRASHED.  Freak event.  As I opened the
refrigerator door, the light bulb blew.  Immediately, everything else
electrical shut down -- lights, microwave, coffee maker -- everything.
 Carefully unplugged and replugged all the appliances.  Nothing.

Call the cable company (but not from the kitchen phone).  They refer
me to the utility.  The utility insists that the problem is in the
software.  So the software company runs some remote telediagnostics
via my house processor.  Their expert system claims it has to be the
utility's fault.  I don't care, I just want my kitchen back.  More
phone calls; more remote diag's.

Turns out the problem was "unanticipated failure mode":  The network
had never seen a refrigerator bulb failure while the door was open.
So the fuzzy logic interpreted the burnout as a power surge and shut
down the entire kitchen.  But because sensor memory confirmed that
there hadn't actually been a power surge, the kitchen logic sequence
was confused and it couldn't do a standard restart.  The utility guy
swears this was the first time this has ever happened.  Rebooting the
kitchen took over an hour.

Dec 7:  The police are not happy.  Our house keeps calling them for
help.  We discover that whenever we play the TV or stereo above 25
decibels, it creates patterns of micro-vibrations that get amplified
when they hit the window.  When these vibrations mix with a gust of
wind, the security sensors are actuated, and the police computer
concludes that someone is trying to break in. Go figure.

Another glitch:  Whenever the basement is in self-diagnostic mode, the
universal remote won't let me change the channels on my TV.  That
means I actually have to get up off the couch and change the channels
by hand.  The software and the utility people say this flaw will be
fixed in the next upgrade -- SmartHouse 2.1.  But it's not ready yet.

Finally, I'm starting to suspect that the microwave is secretly tuning
into the cable system to watch Bay Watch.  The unit is completely
inoperable during that same hour.  I guess I can live with that.  At
least the blender is not tuning in to old I Love Lucy episodes.

Dec 9:  I just bought the new Microsoft Home.  Took 93 gigabytes of
storage, but it will be worth it, I think.  The house should be much
easier to use and should really do everything.  I had to sign a second
mortgage over to Microsoft, but I don't mind:  I don't really own my
house now--it's really the bank.  Let them deal with Microsoft.

Dec 10: I'm beginning to have doubts about Microsoft House.  I keep
getting an hour glass symbol showing up when I want to run the
dishwasher.

Dec 12:  This is a nightmare.  There's a virus in the house.  My
personal computer caught it while browsing on the public access
network.  I come home and the living room is a sauna, the bedroom
windows are covered with ice, the refrigerator has defrosted, the
washing machine has flooded the basement, the garage door is cycle up
and down and the TV is stuck on the home shopping channel.  Through-
out the house, lights flicker like stroboscopes until they explode
from the strain.  Broken glass is everywhere.  Of course, the security
sensors detect nothing.

I look at a message slowly throbing on my personal computer screen:
WELCOME TO HomeWrecker!!!  NOW THE FUN BEGINS ...  (Be it ever so
humble, there's no virus like the HomeWrecker...).

Dec 18:  They think they've digitally disinfected the house, but the
place is a shambles.  Pipes have burst and we're not completely sure
we've got the part of the virus that attacks toilets. Nevertheless,
the Exorcists (as the anti-virus SWAT team members like to call
themselves) are confident the worst is over.  "HomeWrecker is pretty
bad" one he tells me, "but consider yourself lucky you didn't get
PolterGeist.  That one is really evil."

Dec 19:  Apparently, our house isn't insured for viruses.  "Fires and
mudslides, yes," says the claims adjuster.  "Viruses, no."  My
agreement with the SmartHouse people explicitly states that all claims
and warranties are null and void if any appliance or computer in my
house networks in any way, shape or form with a non-certified on-line
service.  Everybody's very, very, sorry, but they can't be expected to
anticipate every virus that might be created.

We call our lawyer.  He laughs.  He's excited!

Dec 21:  I get a call from a SmartHouse sales rep.  As a special
holiday offer, we get the free opportunity to become a beta site for
the company's new SmartHouse 2.1 upgrade.  He says I'll be able to
meet the programmers personally.  "Sure," I tell him.





A man is on his way home from work one afternoon in LA and he's stopped in
traffic and thinks, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual.  We're not
even moving."

He notices a police officer walking down the highway in between the cars
and he rolls down his window and asks, "Excuse me officer, what's the hold
up?"

"O.J. just found out the verdict; he's all depressed.  He's lying down in
the middle of the highway and he's threatening to douse himself in gasoline
and light himself on fire.  He just doesn't have $33.5 million for the
Goldmans.

I'm walking around taking up a collection for him."

The man said, "Oh really?  How much have you collected so far?"

"About three hundred gallons."




>From an actual newspaper contest where entrants age 4 to 15 were
asked  to imitate "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" :

>> My young brother asked me what happens after we die.  I told him
we
get  buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies.  I guess I
should have told him the truth--that most of us go to Hell and burn
eternally--but I didn't want to upset him.   Age 10

>> I once heard the voice of God.  It said "Vrrrrmmmmm."  Unless it was
just a lawn mower.   Age 11

>> When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again.  But he better
have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell.   Age 5

>> I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry...  I imagine that
the wet paint is a big freshwater lake that is the only source of water
for
some tiny cities by the lake.  As the lake gets drier, the population gets
more desperate, and sometimes there are water riots.  Once there was
a big fire and everyone died.  Age 13

>> I like to go down to the dog pound and pretend that I've found my
dog. Then I tell them to kill it anyway because I already gave away all of his
stuff.  Dog people sure don't have a sense of humor.  Age 14

>> I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I
don't have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to wash
clothes on the last day of their life?   Age 15

>> Whenever I start getting sad about where I am in my life, I think about
the last words of my favorite uncle: "A truck!"  Age 15

>> It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's birthday,
like they do for the queen.  Of course, then we would have a lot of
people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26, just for the
long weekends.   Age 8

>> As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a
few minutes each day.  At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of
days saved up.   Age 7

>> Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just
any old yokel vote.  Age 10

>> Home is where the house is.  Age 6

>> Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher.
That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number.  Age 15

>> It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No,
wait.  That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood
would be right there.  Age 5

>> Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept
the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money.  Age 13

>> The people who think Tiny Tim is strange are the same ones who
think it odd that I drive without pants.  Age 15

>> I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.   Age
13

>> For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese.
Then the astronauts found that the moon is really a big hard rock. That's
what happens to cheese when you leave it out.  Age 6

>> Think of the biggest number you can...  Now add five...  Then,
imagine
if you had that many Twinkies.  Wow, that's five more than the biggest
number you could come up with!   Age 6


>> The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except
maybe
"Don't you think it is about time you audited my return?" or "Isn't is
morally
wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?" Age 15

>> Once, I wept for I had no shoes.  Then I came upon a man who had
no feet.  So I took his shoes.  I mean, it's not like he really needed them,
right?  Age 15

>> I often wonder how come John Tesh isn't as popular a singer as
some people think he should be.  Then, I remember it's because he
sucks. Age 15
 >> I gaze at the brilliant full moon.  The same one, I think to myself, at
which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed.  Suddenly, I imagine they
appear beside me.  I tell Socrates about the national debate over one's
right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition. I tell
Plato that I live in the country that has come the closest to Utopia, and I
show him a copy of the Constitution.  I tell Aristotle that  we have found
many more than four basic elements and I show him a periodic table. I
get
a box of kitchen matches and strike one.  They  gasp with wonder.  We
spend the rest of the night lighting farts.  Age 15

>> If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world
peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the
looting started.  Age 15





Air Force One comes in for a landing at the airport. A ramp is wheeled
up and President Clinton appears carrying a pig under
each arm. As he comes down the ramp, the Marine at the bottom
snaps to a salute.
Clinton says, "You'll have to excuse me. I can't return your salute.
My hands are full."
"Yes Sir. I see the pigs Sir!" responds the Marine.
"Now hold on," says Clinton. "These aren't just pigs. These are
genuine Arkansas Razorbacks."
"Yes Sir! Razorbacks Sir!" says the Marine.
"I got this one for Chelsea and this one for Hillary," Clinton explains.
The Marine answers, "Yes Sir! An excellent trade if I may say so myself
Sir!"


A lawyer who works in Texas receives news of an out of town emergency
which requires him to fly out of the state for a short period of time.
He doesn't even have time to pack, so he calls home to tell his wife
he is going. The maid answers the phone but is hesitant to put his wife
on the phone. After quite a bit of cajoling, she admits that his wife is
upstairs in bed with the mailman! Now the man is furious, and would
rush right home, but of course there is this emergency to take care of,
so he tells the maid to go get the gun from his desk drawer, and kill
both his wife and the mailman. She protests, but he explains that
under Texas law it is legal to kill your adulterous wife and her lover.
Using his silver tongue, he finally convinces her to do it. She puts
down the phone, and the lawyer can hear the sound of two gun shots,
the screams, some loud bumps, and, finally, some splashes. The
maid comes back on the phone. The lawyer asks ``did you kill them?''.
``Yes'', she replies.
``What did you do with the bodies?''
``I threw them in the pool.'' ... pause... ``Pool? ... Uhh, is this
555-8234?''

There's a student in medical school who wants to specialize in sexual 
disorders, so he makes arrangements to visit the sexual disorder clinic.The 
chief doctor is showing him around, discussing cases and the facility, when 
the student sees a patient masturbating right there in the hallway.

"What condition does he have?" the student asks.

"He suffers from Seminal Buildup Disorder," the doctor replies.
"If he doesn't obtain sexual release forty to fifty times a day he'll pass 
into a coma."

The student takes some notes on that, and they continue down the hall. As 
they turn to corner, he sees another patient with his pants around his 
ankles, receiving oral sex from a beautiful nurse.

"What about him?" the student asks. "What's his story?"

"Oh, it's the same condition," the doctor replies. "He just has a better 
health plan."

What Democracy Means

Democracy means placing trust in the little guy, giving the fruits of
nationhood to those who built the nation.

Democracy means anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't
grow up can be vice president.

Democracy is people of all races, colors, and creeds united by a single
dream: to get rich and move to the suburbs away from people of all races,
colors & creeds.

Democracy is having time set aside to worship--18 years if you are Jim
Bakker.

Democracy is buying a big house you can't afford with money you don't have,
to impress people you wish were dead.

Unlike communism  - democracy does not mean having just one ineffective
political party; it means having two or more ineffective political parties.

Democracy is welcoming people from other lands, and giving them something to
hold onto--usually a mop or leaf blower.

It means that with proper timing and scrupulous bookkeeping, anyone can die
owing the government a huge amount of money.

Yes, democracy means fighting every day for what you deserve and fighting
even harder to keep other weaker people from getting what they deserve.

Democracy means never having the secret police show up at your door.  Of
course, it also means never having the cable guy show up at your door.  It's
a tradeoff.  Democracy means free television--not good television, but free.

Democracy means being able to pick up the phone and, within one minute, be
talking to anyone in the country, and, within two minutes, be interrupted by
call waiting.

Democracy means no taxation without representation, and God knows, we have
just about had the hell represented out of us.

Finally, democracy is the eagle on the nack of a dollar bill, with 13 arrows
in one claw, 13 leaves on a branch, 13 tail feathers, and 13 stars over its
head. All of which signifies that when white man came to this country, it was
bad luck for the indians, bad luck for the trees, bad luck for the wildlife,
and lights out for the american eagle.

> > > A missionary gets sent into deepest darkest Africa and goes to live with
a tribe therein.  He spends years with the people, teaching them to read,
write and the good Christian ways of the white man. One thing he particularly
stresses is the evils of sexual sin. Thou must not commit adultery or
fornication!! One day the wife of one of the Tribe's noblemen gives birth to a
white child. The village is shocked and the chief is sent by his people to
talk with the missionary. "You have taught us of the evils of sexual sin, yet
here a black woman gives birth to a white child.

> > > You are the only white man that has ever set foot in our village. It
doesn't take a genius to work out what has been going on!"  The missionary
replies: "No, no, my good man. You are mistaken. What you have here
is a natural occurance - what is called an albino. Look to thy yonder
field.

> > > See a field of white sheep, and yet amongst them is one black one.

> > > Nature does this on occasion."  The chief pauses for a moment then says
"Tell you what, you don't say anything about the sheep, I won't say anything
about the white child".






A hobo comes up to the front door of a neat looking farmhouse and raps gently
on the door. When the owner answers, the hobo asks him, "Please, sir, could
you give me something to eat?  I haven't had a good meal in several days."

The owner says, "I have made a fortune in my lifetime by supplying goods for
people.  I've never given anything away for nothing.  However, if  you go
around the back, you will see a gallon of paint and a clean paint brush.  If
you will paint my porch, I will give you a good  meal."

So the hobo goes around back and a while later he again knocks on the door.

The owner says, "Finished already? Good. Come on in. Sit down.  The cook will
bring your meal right in."

The hobo says, "Thank you very much, sir.  But there's something that I think
you should know.  It's not a Porche.  It's a BMW."

 For decades, two heroic nude statues, one male and one female, faced 
     each other in a city park, until one day an angel came down from 
     heaven.
     
     "You've been such exemplary statues," he announced to them, "That I'm 
     going to give you a special gift. I'm going to bring you both to life 
     for thirty minutes, in which time you can do anything you want." And 
     with a clap of the hands, the angel brought the statues to life.
     
     The two approached each other a bit shyly, but soon dashed for the 
     bushes, from which shortly emerged a good deal of giggling, laughter, 
     and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues 
     emerged from the bushes, wide grins on their faces.
     
     "You still have fifteen more minutes," said the angel, winking at them 
     Grinning even more widely the female statue turned to the male statue 
     and said, "Great! Only this time you hold the pigeon down and I'll 
     shit on its head."





Three stupid guys just died and are at the pearly gates of heaven.  St. 
Peter
tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple
question.

St. Peter asks the first man, "What is Easter?"

The man replies, "Oh, that's easy, it's the holiday in November when
everyone gets together, eats turkey, and is thankful..."

"WRONG," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second man the same
question, "What is Easter?"

The second man replies, "No, Easter is the holiday in December when we
put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate the birth of Jesus."

St. Peter looks at the second man, shakes his head in disqust, looks at
the third man and asks, "What is Easter?"

"I know what Easter is.  Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides
with the Jewish celebration of Passover.  Jesus and his disciples were
eating at the last supper and he was later deceived and turned over to the
Romans by one of his disciples.  The Romans took him to be crucified,he
was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on
a cross.  He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large
bolder.  Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come
out, and if he sees his shadow there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

WHY ASK WHY
===========

Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and
drive?

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the
doors?

If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?

If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan?

If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height,
what would happen?

If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn
on the headlights?

You know how most packages say "Open here".  What is the protocol if the
package says, "Open somewhere else"?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment,
but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why
can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down
the volume on the radio?

Did you know who in 1923 was:
1.  President of the largest steel company?
2.  President of the largest gas company?
3.  President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4.  Greatest wheat speculator?
5.  President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6.  Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men should have been considered some of the world's most successful
men.  At least they found the secret of making money. Now more than 55 years
later, do you know what has become of these men?

1. The President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
2. The President of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, is insane.
3. The President of the N.Y.S.E., Richard Whitney, was released from prison
to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.
5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement shot himself.
6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Rivermore, died of suicide.

The same year, 1923, the winner of the most important golf championship, Gene
Sarazan, won the U.S. Open and PGA Tournaments.  Today he is still playing
golf and is solvent.

CONCLUSION:  STOP WORRYING ABOUT BUSINESS AND START PLAYING GOLF!

MIT Coresopndence
=================

MIT certainly has a reputation to be proud of, but its admissions 
department went a little over-board, I think.  I actually received 
this letter, and actually mailed the following (original) response.

April 18, 1994

Mr. John T. Mongan
123 Main Street
Smalltown, California 94123-4567

Dear John:

   You've got the grades.  You've certainly got the PSAT scores.  And now 
you've got a letter from MIT.  Maybe you're surprised.  Most students would 
be.

    But you're not most students.  And that's exactly why I urge you to 
consider carefully one of the most selective universities in America.

    The level of potential reflected in your performance is a powerful 
indicator that you might well be an excellent candidate for MIT.  It certainly 
got my attention!

    Engineering's not for you?  No problem.  It may surprise you to learn we 
offer more than 40 major fields of study, from architecture to brain and 
cognitive sciences, from economics (perhaps the best program in the country) 
to writing.

    What?  Of course, you don't want to be bored.  Who does?  Life here *is* 
tough *and* demanding, but it's also *fun*.  MIT students are imaginative and 
creative - inside and outside the classroom.

    You're interested in athletics?  Great!  MIT has more varsity teams - 39 - 
than almost any other university, and a tremendous intramural program so 
everybody can participate.

    You think we're too expensive?  Don't be too sure.  We've got surprises 
for you there, too.

    Why not send the enclosed Information Request to find out more about this 
unique institution?  Why not do it right now?

Sincerely,

Michael C. Benhke
Director of Admissions

just check the appropriate box on the form.

*******************************************************************************

May 5, 1994

Michael C. Behnke
MIT Director of Admissions
Office of Admissions, Room 3-108
Cambridge MA 02139-4307

Dear Michael:

    You've got the reputation.  You've certainly got the pomposity.  And now 
you've got a letter from John Mongan.  Maybe you're surprised.  Most 
universities would be.

    But you're not most universities.  And that's exactly why I urge you to 
carefully consider one of the most selective students in America, so selective 
that he will choose only *one* of the thousands of accredited universities in 
the country.

    The level of pomposity and lack of tact reflected in your letter is a 
powerful indicator that your august institution might well be a possibility 
for John Mongan's future education.  It certainly got my attention!

    Don't want Bio-Chem students?  No problem.  It may surprise you to learn 
that my interests cover over 400 fields of study, from semantics to limnology, 
from object-oriented programming (perhaps one of the youngest professionals in 
the country) to classical piano.

    What?  Of course you don't want egotistical jerks.  Who does?  I *am* self 
indulgent *and* over confident, but I'm also amusing.  John Mongan is funny 
and amusing - whether you're laughing with him or at him.

    You're interested in athletes?  Great!  John Mongan has played more sports 
- 47 - than almost any other student, including oddball favorites such as 
Orienteering.

    You think I can pay for your school?  Don't be too sure.  I've got 
surprises for you there, too.

    Why not send a guaranteed admission and full scholarship to increase your 
chance of being selected by John Mongan?  Why not do it right now?
 
Sincerely,


John Mongan

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall
==============================


A Russian is strolling down the street in Moscow and kicks a
bottle  laying in the street.  Suddenly out of the bottle comes a
Genie.  The  Russian is stunned and the Genie says, "Hello 
master, I will grant you  one wish, anything you want."

The Russian begins thinking, "Well, I really like drinking 
vodka."

Finally the Russian says, "I wish to drink vodka whenever I 
want, so  make me piss vodka."

The Genie grants him his wish.  When the Russian gets 
home he gets a  glass out of the cupboard and pisses in it.  
He looks and the glass and  it's clear.  Looks like vodka.  
Then he smells the liquid.  Smells like  vodka.  So he takes 
a taste and it is the best vodka he has ever tasted.

The Russian yells to his wife, "Natasha, Natasha, come 
quickly!"

She comes running down the hall and the Russian takes 
another glass out  of the cupboard and pisses into it.  He tells 
her to drink, it is vodka.  Natasha is reluctant but goes ahead 
and takes a sip.  It is the best vodka she has ever tasted.  
The two drink and party all night.

The next night the Russian comes home from work and tells 
his wife to get two glasses out of the cupboard.  He proceeds 
to piss in the two glasses.  The result is the same, the vodka 
is excellent and the couple drink until the sun comes up.

Finally Friday night comes and the Russian comes home and 
tells his  wife, "Natasha grab one glass from the cupboard 
and we will drink  vodka."

His wife gets the glass from the cupboard and sets it on the
table.  The  Russian begins to piss in the glass and when he 
fills it his wife asks  him, "But Boris, why do we need only one 
glass?"

Boris raises the glass and says, "Because tonight my love, 
you drink from the bottle."

A man rushes into his house and yells to his wife, "Martha, 
pack up your things. I just won the California lottery!" 

Martha replies, "Shall I pack for warm weather or cold?" 

The man responds, "I don't care. Just so long as you're out of 
the house by noon!"

A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting
at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes
over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted
with you for a while?" To which she responds by yelling, at the top of
her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the bar
is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and
completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table.

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She
smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm
a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond
to embarrassing situations."

To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"





THE DOCTORS OFFICE

A couple, age 67, went to the doctor's office. The doctor asked, "What
can I do for you?" The man said, "Will you watch us have sexual
intercourse?" The doctor looked puzzled but agreed. When the couple had
finished, the doctor said, "There is nothing wrong with the way you have
intercourse," and he charged them $32.00 for the office visit. This
happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointement,
have intercourse, pay the doctor and leave. Finally the doctor asked,
"Just exactly what are you trying to find out?" The old man replied,
"We're not trying to find out anything. She is married and we can't go
to her house. I am married so we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn
charges $60.00. The Hilton charges $98.00, we do it here for $32.00, and
I get back $28.00 from Medicare for a visit to the doctor's office."

calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, >
  "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

      Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air >

      no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

      God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a >
mistake-he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

     Satan says, "No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and
I'm keeping him."

      God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."

      Satan laughs uproariously and answers, >
 "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

Bigamy: One wife too many.
Monogamy: Refer to bigamy.



A woman in a very tight mini-skirt walked up to a bus, and she found
it very difficult to board the high step. She reached back and
loosened the zip but still could not get her leg up.So she unzipped
again, but still it was too tight.
At this point she felt a firm pair of hands on her bum lift her up the
step. She turned to the man and said."How dare you!"
  "Well, I thought you wouldn't mind after you unzipped my pants
twice."	
	





A principal of a small middle school had a problem with a few of the 
older girls starting to use lipstick.  When applying it in the bathroom 
they would then press their lips to the mirror and leave lip prints.

Before it got out of hand he thought of a way to stop it.  He gathered 
all the girls together that wore lipstick and told them he wanted to
meet with them in the ladies room at 2pm. They gathered at 2pm and found
the principal and the school custodian waiting for them.

The principal explained that it was becoming a problem for the custodian 
to clean the mirror every night.  He said he felt the ladies did not
fully understand just how much of a problem it was and he wanted them to
witness just how hard it was to clean.

The custodian then demonstrated.  He took a long brush on a handle out
of a box. He then dipped the brush in the nearest toilet, moved to the
mirror and proceeded to remove the lipstick. There never was a problem
after that.

There's a student in medical school who wants to specialize insexual 
disorders, so he makes arrangements to visit the sexual disorder clinic.The 
chief doctor is showing him around, discussing cases and the facility, when 
the student sees a patient masturbating right there in the hallway.

"What condition does he have?" the student asks.

"He suffers from Seminal Buildup Disorder," the doctor replies.
"If he doesn't obtain sexual release forty to fifty times a day he'll pass 
into a coma."

The student takes some notes on that, and they continue down the hall. As 
they turn to corner, he sees another patient with his pants around his 
ankles, receiving oral sex from a beautiful nurse.

"What about him?" the student asks. "What's his story?"

"Oh, it's the same condition," the doctor replies. "He just has a better 
health plan."





Blind pilots (fwd)

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner were
seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they could get under
way.

The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and begin
walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle.  Both appear to be
blind.  The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right
and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the copilot is using a guide
dog.  Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses.

At first the passengers do not react, thinking that it must be some sort
of practical joke.  However, after a few minutes the engines start
revving
and the airplane starts moving down the runway. The passengers look at
each
other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking
desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.

Then, the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin
panicking.
Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to
the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical.

Finally, just as the airplane is reaching the end of the runway, there
is a
sudden increase in the volume of the shouting as everyone screams at
once, and
at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne.

Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to
the
pilot, "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to
scream, and we're gonna get killed!"

     The Gentleman had a serious problem.  He had made several attempts to
 
    get into the men's restroom, but found it to be occupied.  The 
    stewardess noticed that he was walking funny, taking small steps, and 
    with a look of pain and anxiety on his face.
    
    "Sir", she said; "The ladies restroom is unoccupied.  You may use it if
    you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall."  He was
 about
     to pop, and would have promised anything, so he agreed to her terms.
    
    The relief was pure joy, and as he sat there, savoring the feeling, he
 
    noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch.  Three white buttons
 
    were identified by the letters: "WW", "WA", and "PP", and there was
 one
    red button labeled "ATR".
    
    Who would really know if he touched them?  He couldn't just sit there 
    and resist a challenge like this, so he pushed the "WW" button.
    
    Warm Water was sprayed gently upon his bottom.  Such a nice feeling
    came over him.  The Men's restroom didn't have nice things like this.
    
    Anticipating even greater pleasure, he pressed the "WA" button.  Warm 
    Air replaced the warm water, wafted and swirled about, gently drying
    his underside.
    
    He knew what he was going to do when the warm air stopped, and without
 
    hesitation, he pressed the "PP" button.  A large Powder Puff caressed 
    his bottom, adding a fragrant scent of spring flowers to his 
    unbelievable pleasure.  The ladies room was far more than a restroom;
    it was a  place of tender loving pleasure!
    
    He could hardly wait for the powder puff to quit.  When it did, he 
    pushed what he knew was going to be the ultimate joy!
    
                                   ***** 
    
    He knew he was in the hospital as soon as he opened his eyes.  A nurse
 
    was staring down at him with a smirk on her face...
    
    "What happened?!  How did I get here?!  The last thing I remember, I
    was in the ladies restroom on a flight to Atlanta!!!"
    
    "You pushed one too many buttons.", replied the nurse, as her smirk 
    expanded to a grin.  "That last button marked "ATR" is an Automatic 
    Tampax Remover.  Your penis is under your pillow."   
 
 Yeow!



Dilbert's Rules of The Workplace
 ==============================

 If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work
 nights.

  A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in
  the butt.

  Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't
  be promoted.

  It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say
  you've done and what you're going to do.

  After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end
  of the month than you did before.

  The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to
  get.

  You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a
  clipboard.

  Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing
  worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

  When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are
  never talking about themselves.

  If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use
  being a damn fool about it.

  There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your
  car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

  Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

  Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."

  Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a
  cocktail hour.

  To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.

  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work
  he/she is supposed to be doing.

  Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors
  in the mail.

  If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you
  are really good, you will get out of it.

  You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops
  by your desk.

  People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.

  If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

  At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional
  to the number of pens that person is carrying.

  When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

  Following the rules will not get the job done.

  Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the
  rules.

  When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more
  easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone
  Ranger handle this?"

  No matter how much you do, you never do enough.

  The last person that quit or was fired will be held
  responsible for everything that goes wrong.

  Do something brilliant and no one is watching.
  Do something stupid and the boss is sure to see it.  :)

		
		
		

 Subject: Jokes

  One day, a recently married man goes to the attic of his new home to
      put  a few things in storage.  While he is there, he notices a
 large
      steamer trunk sitting in the corner.  When he tries to open it,
 he
      finds it is  locked. Puzzled and curious, he calls his new bride
 up to
      the attic and asks her about the trunk.  She tells him that it is
 hers
      and that it only contains some personal things.  He accepts her
 answer
      and eventually forgets all about the matter.

      Three years later when he is cleaning out the attic, he runs
 across
      the trunk and again asks his wife what's in it.  She again tells
 him
      that it contains only personal things, but this time he is more
      persistent.

      So she sits him down and reminds him that she makes him happy
 when
      he's feeling down, that she keeps the house meticulously clean,
 that
      she cooks him fantastic meals 7 days a week, and that she gives
 him
      all the sex he wants, anytime he wants it.  Then she tells him if
 he
      is happy with all of those things, that he should forget about
 the
      trunk because she will not talk about it.  "Fair enough," says
 the
      husband, and he finishes cleaning out the attic.

      On their 25th wedding anniversary, he pulls the trunk down the
 stairs,
      into the middle of the living room floor, and calls to his wife.
      "Honey," he says, "we've been married for 25 years and I think
 it's
      time we had a heart-to-heart talk.  What the hell is in that
 trunk?"
      The wife immediately protests, reminding him once again about
 the
      clean house, the good food and the great sex.  "I don't care,"
 he
      tells her. "After 25 years we ought to be able to talk about
 anything.

       Now open this goddamn trunk!" So, she takes a key from a chain
      hanging around her neck and opens the trunk.

      Inside is three ears of corn and 25 thousand dollars in cash.
 "Jesus
      Christ!" shouts the surprised husband. "What's going on here?
  Where
      did all of this come from?"  "Well, sweetie," replies the wife,
 "you
      said we could talk, so I'll tell you what you want to know.  Over
 the
      years, I tried to stay faithful to you, but I wasn't always
      successful.  Every time that I cheated on you, I put an ear of
 corn
      into the trunk."  The husband cannot believe the shocking
 confession
      that he has just heard, but after mulling it over in his mind for
 a
      few moments he says to his wife,    "All right, I admit I'm not
 too
      thrilled about this, but I did say we should be honest with each
      other, and I guess I can live with three times of infidelity in
 25
      years.  But where did all the money come from?"

      "Well," she replies, "whenever the trunk got full, I sold the
 corn."

      A blind man was seen waiting at a street corner with his seeing
 eye
      dog.
      After a short wait the dog started leading the blind man across
 the
      street against the red light.  First a car came screeching to a
 halt
      inches away from him, but still the dog led on.  A bicyclist
 almost
      wiped them out and its rider cursed as he passed.  As they strode
 the
      last lane a truck swerved, barely missing them.  After they
 reached
      the far corner the blind man pulled a cookie from his pocket and
      offered it to the seeing eye dog.  At this point a bystander who
 had
      watched the entire episode approached, curious about why he was
      rewarding the dog after it had endangered his life. "I'm not
 rewarding
      him," the blind man responded.  "I'm just trying to find out
 which end

      is his head so I can kick his bum."

 walking
      down the garden path with a big bunch of flowers...
      "Ohh shit", she says
      "What's wrong?", enquires the other
      "It's my husband, he's only gone and bought me a huge bunch of
      flowers!"
      "What's wrong with that? If my husband did gave me a bunch of
 flowers
      I'd be really pleased"

IT IS SATURDAY, a crisp spring afternoon, and you're exactly where
you should be: stretched out on the couch in front of the television,
just about to watch all your favourite TV that you've
recorded over the last few weeks. Opening beer number two,
relaxed in the knowledge that the pizza you ordered is even now on its
way. Nothing could improve this moment, except maybe a bigger
television. Suddenly your girlfriend enters the room and says, "What
exactly do you think you're doing?"

Is this a trick question or what?

Yes, it is. The trick is that no matter how you answer it, you will
immediately find yourself driving down to your nearest
home improvement centre, where you will spend the rest of the
afternoon trying to decide the type of curtain rod that's right for
you.

How does this work?

It has as much to do with the nature of the question itself as with
anything else. Women are expert at posing questions that seem to have
no right answer.  Here's a common example.

Do I look fat?

There is no answer to this question that won't be interpreted "yes."
"No" means yes. "Yes" means yes. "I don't know" means yes. "It doesn't
matter" means yes. The briefest hint of a pause before speaking means
yes, yes, yes. Most of us would rather go to the dentist than field
this one, yet it may well come up several times a week. Your only real
choice is to say no, clearly and immediately, leaving no possibility
for any subtext, and making it sound like a widely acknowledged fact
and not simply your opinion. This doesn't work, but all the other
options are worse.

There are several other questions for which "no" is the only answer,
and several more that call for an emphatic and unqualified yes. In
all of these cases, elaboration, justification or any attempt to be
funny is unlikely to pay off.

Consult this handy chart:

JUST SAY NO

Is there someone else?
Do you still fantasize about her?
Are you tired of me?

JUST SAY YES

Do you still love me?
Do you ever fantasize about me?
Do you like my hair this way?

Unfortunately, many female inquiries require more than a simple yes or
no response. Some of them are more like riddles. Such as this one:

Which shoes look better?

Typically you're already late for dinner when your girlfriend
confronts you, with one pair of shoes on and another alongside
them. This is no ordinary choice. It's a devious chicken/egg puzzler,
the sort of choice that would lead even Hobson to say to Mrs. Hobson,
"Whichever, you old trout!" If you pick the shoes she already has on,
she'll think you're trying to hurry her. If you pick the other pair,
she'll think it's because you know you can't pick the ones she has
on. Some men try a nonlinear approach and opt for a third, unoffered
pair of shoes, but this is inevitably taken as either an attack on her
judgment or an opportunity for her to attack yours. On no account
suggest another dress. You might as well say, "You're fat."  This
raises the question of why she's asking you at all. She knows you
don't know which shoes look better, and she knows you don't care, so
why is she trying to elicit your opinion? This is part of an ongoing
campaign to domesticate you. As part of the same campaign, she will
occasionally consult you about alternative table settings or new
towels. In these two cases a disdainful and dismissive "beats me"
should do the trick, but don't try that with the shoe dilemma, or
you'll miss your reservation. Instead, suggest that she try on the
other shoes, then tell her the first ones look better. This lets you
more or less off the hook, as long as you don't raise a fuss when she
decides that the second pair are better after all.

Where do you see this relationship going?

This could be described as an essay question, since you're obviously
not going to get away with snappy little answers such as "forward" or
"upstairs" or "I dunno." Another problem is that you and your
girlfriend are operating at cross purposes here. She wants a heartfelt
expression of your feelings and an honest assessment of your future
together, and you want an easier question. There is certainly no point
in answering a toe-curling query like this one without at least a
rough idea of precisely what it is she wants to hear. Questions such
as this one are a category unto themselves, i.e., Questions that
should be answered with another question. See how easily some of the
more difficult leading inquiries can be parried through the simple
deployment of reflexive interrogation.

Her: Where do you see this relationship going?
You: Where do *you* see this relationship going?

Her: Do you think she's attractive?
You: Who?

Her: Will you marry me?
You: Where am I?

Her: What if I were pregnant?
You: Are you pregnant?
Her: Why? Do I look fat?

Whoops! We're in a bit of trouble here. You should have seen that
coming.  Try a more surreal approach:

Her: What if I were pregnant?
You: What if *we* were pregnant? .... (Cool, huh?)

Some all-purpose question-answers include: How much is a lot? Why do
you ask? Should I be? What are you saying? Does it matter? What's love
got to do with it? Are you talking to me? (Note: Are you having your
period? is not one of these.) Let's try a math question. How many
people have you slept with? Hmmmmm....Now, you can tell her the
truth, unless the truth is more than 12, or you can have a guess at
the number she's more or less expecting. Like most arithmetic
problems, the answer is a lot easier once you have a formula. This one
should work as long as neither of you has sex for a living.

Number of people she's slept with + Number of people she knows you've
slept with + Number of people you actually have slept with.

Add these up and divide by 2. If you round up to the nearest whole
person, you should end up with a realistically healthy but not
particularly shocking number. If the result is greater than 12, then
_say_ 12.

Why don't you lighten up?

This rhetorical gem is used whenever you express your disapproval of
shoplifting or speeding, or whenever you go to a nightclub and spend
the whole time dancing to some unbelievable crap you've never heard
and _then_ go out and _buy_ it!  There is no good answer to this
question. You could draw attention to her inconsistency in this
matter, noting that she doesn't like it when you act like a kid or
when you act like your _dad_ (God forbid); then again, if you do that,
she's liable to see your point and break up with you.  Speaking of
breaking up, how about this one?

Are you saying you want to end it?

Women, like lawyers, rarely ask a direct question, unless they already
know what the answer will be. As for women lawyers, I don't know what
they do, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.  The point is, when
a woman asks you this question, she knows you're going to say no. Even
if you want to say yes, you'll say no. You can't turn the question
back on her, because you have no idea what her answer is going to be.
If you are trying to break up with her, you'll have to say no and
start the whole painful process again. If you aren't trying to break
up with her, then it's best to change the subject. Let's try
something easier.

Notice anything different about me?

Well, slightly easier. This question is of a piece with two others:
"Have you forgotten what today is?" and "Have you been listening to a
word I've said?" Apart from being questions that are easier to answer
wrong than right, they're the kinds of things women say in
sitcoms. They are best treated in an ironic postmodern context, i.e.,
just say what Ward Cleaver would say.

Her: Notice anything different about me?
You: New apron? ... (Ouch!)

Her: Have you forgotten what today is?

You: Of course not. It's Thursday.

Her: Have you been listening to a word I've said?
You: That's nice, dear...

Funny, huh? Well, it's not your fault if she doesn't get it. If she
wants a better answer, she's going to have to start asking better
questions. Questions such as:

Have you taken a look at yourself lately?  This question and its
cousin, the almost always uncalled for "Who do you think you are?" are
ways of gently reminding you how much of a factor pity was in her
original decision to go out with you, and how that decision could be
rescinded if you behave in any way that cannot be described as abject.
You probably brought this rebuke on yourself by mentioning that you
reckon Brad Pitt is getting a little chubby or by speculating that
Jack Nicholson doesn't have to wait until his birthday for oral
sex. You're not really supposed to answer either of these
questions. You're just supposed to apologise for your wanton
self-esteem-having. Instead of apologizing, just smile. Your manifold
inadequacies as a boyfriend_nay, as a man_are a kind of revenge all by
themselves. Next!

Do you believe in fidelity?

Like most philosophical questions that seem to pop up out of the blue,
this question doesn't pop up out of the blue. This general query
about fidelity is in fact a coded inquiry about the extent of your
fidelity on a specific occasion or occasions. Your response will also
have to be coded. Consult this translation chart before giving your
answer:

YOU SAY -  Yes
YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
SHE THINKS - He's hiding something.

YOU SAY -  It depends
YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
SHE THINKS - I knew it!

YOU SAY -  Why do you ask
YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
SHE THINKS - Bastard!

YOU SAY -  I dunno. Do you?
YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
SHE THINKS - How much does he know?

There are several more variations, but they're not worth going
into. By the time she asks you this question, you're already in deep
trouble. It doesn't really matter what you say, as long as you don't
blush when you answer.

Let's look at an example that calls for more straightforward lying.

What are you looking at?

She means, "You were looking at that girl, weren't you?" And you
thought you'd perfected that trick of keeping your neck still and
just letting your eyes swivel.  Obviously, the truth is not the best
answer here. We all know that the truth can set you free, sometimes
before you've found somewhere else to stay. It may seem easy enough to
answer this question with a cunning lie, but when men are caught
offguard, their ability to deceive is impaired.

Here are a few of the more common mistakes men make when asked, "What
are you looking at?"

Too specific: The rust around the bolts on the handle on the flap of
that mailbox on the northwest corner."  Not specific enough: "That
thing."  Too good to be true: "A diamond necklace in that window back
there that would be perfect on you."  Too true to be good: "A
see through nightie in that window back there that would be perfect
on you."  Too obvious: "Nothing."  Way too obvious: "That blonde babe
over there with the big...I mean nothing."  Here's one that requires a
little interpretation.

What are we going to do now?

This one often crops up whenever some kind of emergency or seemingly
unsolvable problem arises. The part that requires interpretation is
the mysterious "we" in the middle.  This means two things: In one
sense, "we" clearly means "you," as in, "What are you going to do
now," but there is also a sense of "we're in this together," implying
that you bear equal responsibility for the fact that she's just
dropped her keys down a grate, or that she stores her jack and spare
tire in her garage so they won't get stolen.

In such situations you'll probably find that the only answer to "What
are we going to do now?" that you can think of is "We are going to
break up. Goodbye." Most likely you'll decide not to say
anything. After which she will probably let loose with the rather
ill-advised:

Why don't you say something?

Whether you answer this one is up to you. There is only one question
that you should never, ever answer. Keep silent, cower behind your
Fifth Amendment rights, pretend you didn't hear, run away, whatever,
but don't say anything when she asks:

Should I get all of my hair cut off?

If you say anything, then when she does get all her hair cut off (and
let's face it, she's already made up her mind) and she hates it (and
she will hate it), it will be your fault. Even if you say absolutely
nothing, the best you can hope for is that she will come home with all
her hair cut off, stare you straight in the eye and say:

"Does it make me look fat!!?"

....You're on your own..

 BAD DAYS

* A fierce gust of wind blew 45-year-old Vittorio Luise's car into a
river near Naples, Italy, in 1983. He managed to break a window, 
climb out and swim to shore -- where a tree blew over and killed 
him. 

* Mike Stewart, 31, of Dallas was filming a movie in 1983 on 
the dangers of low-level bridges when the truck he was standing on 
passed under a low-level bridge -- killing him.

* Walter Hallas, a 26-year-old store clerk in Leeds, England, was so
afraid of dentists that in 1979 he asked a fellow worker to try to 
cure his toothache by punching him in the jaw. The punch caused 
Hallas to fall down, hitting his head, and he died of a fractured 
skull. 

* George Schwartz, owner of a factory in Providence, R.I., narrowly
escaped death when a 1983 blast flattened his factory except for one 
wall. After treatment for minor injuries, he returned to the scene 
to search for files.
The remaining wall then collapsed on him, killing him.

* Depressed since he could not find a job, 42-year-old Romolo Ribolla sat
in his kitchen near Pisa, Italy, with a gun in his hand threatening 
to kill himself in 1981. His wife pleaded for him not to do it, and 
after about an hour he burst into tears and threw the gun to the 
floor. It went off and killed his wife.

* In 1983, a Mrs. Carson of Lake Kushaqua, N.Y., was laid out in her
coffin, presumed dead of heart disease. As mourners watched, she 
suddenly sat up.
Her daughter dropped dead of fright.

* A man hit by a car in New York in 1977 got up uninjured, but lay back
down in front of the car when a bystander told him to pretend he was 
hurt so he could collect insurance money. The car rolled forward and 
crushed him to death.

* Surprised while burgling a house in Antwerp, Belgium, a thief fled out
the back door, clambered over a nine-foot wall, dropped down and 
found himself in the city prison.

* In 1976 a twenty-two-year-old Irishman, Bob Finnegan, was crossing the
busy Falls Road in Belfast, when he was struck by a taxi and flung over
its roof. The taxi drove away and, as Finnegan lay stunned in the 
road, another car ran into him, rolling him into the gutter. It too 
drove on. As a knot of gawkers gathered to examine the magnetic 
Irishman, a delivery van plowed through the crowd, leaving in its 
wake three injured bystanders and an even more battered Bob Finnegan. 
When a fourth vehicle came along, the crowd wisely scattered and 
only one person was hit-Bob Finnegan. In the space of two minutes 
Finnegan suffered a fractured skull, broken pelvis, broken leg, and 
other assorted injuries. Hospital officials said he would recover.

* While motorcycling through the Hungarian countryside, Cristo Falatti
came up to a railway line just as the crossing gates were coming 
down. While he sat idling, he was joined by a farmer with a goat, 
which the farmer tethered to the crossing gate. A few moments later 
a horse and cart drew up behind Falatti, followed in short order by 
a man in a sports car. When the train roared through the crossing, 
the horse startled and bit Falatti on the arm.
Not a man to be trifled with, Falatti responded by punching the horse
in the head. In consequence the horse's owner jumped down from his 
cart and began scuffling with the motorcyclist. The horse, which was 
not up to this sort of excitement, backed away briskly, smashing the 
cart into the sports- car. At this, the sports-car driver leaped out 
of his car and joined the fray. The farmer came forward to try to 
pacify the three flailing men. As he did so,the crossing gates rose 
and his goat was strangled. At last report, the>insurance companies 
were still trying to sort out the claims. 

* Two West German motorists had an all-too-literal head-on collision in
heavy fog near the small town of Guetersloh. Each was guiding his 
car at a snail's pace near the center of the road. At the moment of 
impact their heads were both out of the windows when they smacked 
together. Both men were hospitalized with severe head injuries. 
Their cars weren't scratched. 

* In a classic case of one thing leading to another, seven men aged
eighteen to twenty-nine received jail sentences of three to four years 
in Kingston-on-Thames, England, in 1979 after a fight that started 
when one of he men threw a french fry at another while they stood 
waiting for a train.

* Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging
by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate
harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself. When his wife 
came home and saw him she fainted. Hearing a disturbance a neighbor 
came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses, seized the 
opportunity to loot the place.
As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and
suspended Mr. Fen kicked her stoutly in the backside. This so 
surprised the lady that she dropped dead of a heart attack. Happily, 
Mr. Fen was acquitted of manslaughter and he and his wife were 
reconciled. 

* An unidentified English woman, according to the London Sunday Express
was climbing into the bathtub one afternoon when she remembered she 
had left some muffins in the oven. Naked, she dashed downstairs and 
was removing the muffins when she heard a noise at the door. Thinking 
it was the baker, and knowing he would come in and leave a loaf of 
bread on the kitchen table if she didn't answer his knock, the woman 
darted into the broom cupboard. A few moments later she heard the 
back door open and, to her eternal mortification, the sound of 
footsteps coming toward the cupboard. It was the man from the gas 
company, come to read the meter. "Oh," stammered the woman, "I was 
expecting the baker." The gas man blinked, excused himself 
and departed.

Une petite blague ma foi sympathique ... / A bloody fucking brilliant joke
.. 

Subject: Blowjob / Sujet : pipe

A successful businessman flew to Vegas for the weekend to gamble. He
lost
the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the
second half
of his round trip ticket -- If he could just get to the airport he could
get
himself home. So he went out to the front of the casino where there was
a
cab waiting.

He got in and explained his situation to the cabbie. He promised to send
the driver money from home, he offered him his credit card numbers, his
drivers license number, his address, etc.  but to no avail. The cabbie
said (adopt appropriate dialect), "If you don't have fifteen dollars,
get
the hell out of my cab!"  So the businessman was forced to hitch-hike to
the
airport and was barely in time to catch his flight.

One year later the businessman, having worked long and hard to regain
his
financial success, returned to Vegas and this time he won big. Feeling
pretty good about himself, he went out to the front of the casino to get
a cab
ride back to the airport.

Well who should he see out there, at the end of a long line of cabs, but
his 'old buddy' who had refused to give him a ride when he was down on
his
luck.  The businessman thought for a moment about how he could make the
guy
pay for his lack of charity, and he hit on a plan.

The businessman got in the first cab in the line, "How much for a ride
to
the airport," he asked?  "Fifteen bucks," came the reply.  "And how much
for
you to give me a blowjob on the way?"  "What?! Get the hell out of my
cab." The businessman got into the back of each cab in the long line and
asked the same questions, with the same result.

When he got to his 'old friend' at the back of the line, he got in and
asked "How much for a ride to the airport?" The cabbie replied "fifteen
bucks."  The businessman said "ok" and off they went. Then, as the drove
slowly past the long line of cabs the businessman gave a big smile and
thumbs up sign
to each driver.





     Five blondes go into a bar and one of them says to the bartender,
"A
     round of drinks for me and my friends."  They get their drinks and
the
     raise their glasses to a toast of, "To 51 days!"  and they drink.
The
     "head blonde" asks the bartender to set them up again.  Again, the
     blondes toast "To 51 days!" and they drink.  After they order a
third
     round, the bartender says that he has to ask what the toast means.
     The head blonde says, "We just finished a jigsaw puzzle.  On the
box
     it said, "two to four years" and we finished it in 51 days".

 
 
 
 
 
DARWIN AWARD WINNER FOR 1997 ANNOUNCED
You all know about the Darwin Awards - It's an annual honor given
to the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing
themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way
The 1995 winner was the fellow who was killed by a Coke machine which
toppled over on top of him as he was attempting to tip a free soda out
of
it.
In 1996 the winner was an air force sergeant who attached a jet engine
(JATO) unit to his car and crashed into a cliff several hundred feet
above the road.
And now, the 1997 winner:  Larry Waters of Los Angeles-one of the few
Darwin winners to survive his award-winning accomplishment.
Larry's boyhood dream was to fly.  When he graduated from high school,
he
joined the Air Force in hopes of becoming a pilot.
Unfortunately, poor eyesight disqualified him.  When he was finally
discharged, he had to satisfy himself with watching jets fly over his
backyard.
One day, Larry, had a bright idea.  He decided to fly.  He went to the
local Army-Navy surplus store and purchased 45 weather balloons and
several tanks of helium.  The weather balloons, when fully inflated,
would measure more than four feet across.
Back home, Larry securely strapped the balloons to his sturdy lawn
chair.
 He anchored the chair to the bumper of his jeep and inflated the
balloons with the helium. He climbed on for a test while it was still
only a few feet above the ground.
Satisfied it would work, Larry packed several sandwiches and a six- pack
of Miller Lite, loaded his pellet gun-figuring he could pop a few
balloons when it was time to descend-and went back to the floating lawn
chair.  He tied himself in along with his pellet gun and provisions.
Larry's plan was to lazily float up to a height of about 30 feet above
his back yard after severing the anchor and in a few hours come back
down.
Things didn't quite work out that way.
When he cut the cord anchoring the lawn chair to his jeep, he didn't
float lazily up to 30 or so feet. Instead  he streaked into the LA sky
as
if shot from a cannon.
He didn't level of at 30 feet, nor did he level off at 100 feet.  After
climbing and climbing, he leveled off at 11,000 feet.  At that height he
couldn't risk shooting any of the balloons, lest he unbalance the load
and really find himself in trouble.  So he stayed there, drifting, cold
and frightened, for more than 14 hours.
Then he really got in trouble.
He found himself drifting into the primary approach corridor of Los
Angeles International Airport.
A United pilot first spotted Larry.  He radioed the tower and
described passing a guy in a lawn chair with a gun.  Radar
confirmed  the existence of an object floating 11,000 feet above the
airport.
LAX emergency procedures swung into full alert and a helicopter was
dispatched to investigate.
LAX is right on the ocean.  Night was falling and the offshore breeze
began to flow.  It carried Larry out to sea with the helicopter in hot
pursuit.
Several miles out, the helicopter caught up with Larry. Once the crew
determined that Larry was not dangerous, they attempted to close in for
a
rescue but the draft from the blades would push Larry away whenever they
neared.
Finally, the helicopter ascended to a position several hundred feet
above
Larry and lowered a rescue line. Larry snagged the line and was hauled
back to shore.  The difficult maneuver was flawlessly executed by the
helicopter crew.
As soon as Larry was hauled to earth, he was arrested by waiting members
of the LAPD for violating LAX airspace.
As he was led away in handcuffs, a reporter dispatched to cover the
daring rescue asked why he had done it.    Larry stopped, turned and
replied nonchalantly, "A man can't just sit around."

Let's hear it for Larry Waters, the 1997 Darwin Award Winner.



Subject: Joke: Using a barometer to measure the height of a building (fwd)


There are SEVERAL ways to solve a problem. For example, consider the
following from "The Teaching of Elementary Science and Mathematics" by
Alexander
Calandra: 

The process of creativity is a mysterious and interesting one. It is
brilliantly described in the following story. A student refused to
parrot
back what he had been
taught in class. When the student protested, I was asked to act as
arbiter
between the student and his professor. 

I went to my colleague's office and read the examination question: 'Show
how
it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid
of a
barometer.' 

The student had answered: 'Take the barometer to the top of the
building,
attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street and then
bring
it up, measuring
the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the
building.' 

A high grade is supposed to certify competence in physics, but the
answer
did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try at
answering the
question. I gave the student six minutes, with the warning that his
answer
should show some knowledge of physics. In the next minute he dashed off
his
answer,
which read: 'Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over
the
edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch.
Then, using the
formula S = 1/2a t(2), calculate the height of the building.' 

At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded,
and I
gave the student almost full credit. 

In leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said
he
had other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they were. 

'Oh, yes. There are many ways of getting the height of a tall building
with
the aid of a barometer. For example, you could take the barometer out on
a
sunny day and
measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the
length of the shadow of the building, and by the use of a simple
proportion,
determine the
height of the building.' 

Fine, I said. And the others? 

'Yes. Take the barometer and begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb
the
stairs, you mark off the length of the barometer along the wall. You
then
count the
number of marks, and this will give you the height of the building in
barometer units. A very direct method.' 

'Finally, there are many other ways of solving the problem. Proably not
the
best is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the
superintendent's door.
When the superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: "Mr.
Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you will tell me the
height
of this building, I will
give you this barometer."'

The next one asks to be even more intelligent than the previous one, so
instantly she is turned into a black haired woman. The black haired
woman builds a boat and sails off the island.

An anonymous girl, lets call her Jen, is a junior in college attending
school in Colorado. Like all college students, she is wrapped up in the
partying and the wildness college life has to offer. Jen being the computer
science major that she is does however have a lot of work to do on her
computer so when she's not out having a good time, she's working her butt
off desining computer programs and installing software.

One day, soon after she had broken up with her boyfriend, she was home
alone on a friday night for the first time in the three years they had been
dating. She was sad alone and depressed, so she decided to make a new
homepage. She was playing on the net when she decided to get onto a chat
line, being the wild psycho she is she decided to get onto a sex line. So
jen got onto a sex chat line and started playing around on it.

Over the line, she met a guy who identified himself as Jeremy, she started
playing with him. She gave a false name, saying her name was "Katie" and
started getting into detail about what she would like to do to him with her
tongue. He responded by telling her to picture being naked while his hands
ran over every square inch of her body. Soon they were having cybersex.
This went on for awhile, and then she got off the line agreeing to meet him
back on the line the following night.

Saturday night rolls around, and Jen is on the line with Jeremy again, they
become even closer this night, so they continue like this for a week. At
the end of the week, they started talking about other things, and got into
very intimate issues and feelings. They became close, exchanging their
lives, Jen didn't tell Jeremy she was in college, because she was afraid of
sounding like an immature college girl. She felt guilty, but after a few
weeks, she really liked this guy.

This went on the two of them like this for months, and months turned into a
year. By the end of the year they had exchanged the most intimate thoughts,
and yet had never even spoken on the phone. They were afraid of ruining the
mystery. They had done everything sexually possible over the net, they were
affectionate as well, waiting for the day that they could some day be
together. They finally decided they had had enough. They wanted to meet
each other, they were in love and they had to meet. They didn't care about
age or looks or anything but each other. Jeremy told "Katie" he thought she
could be his next wife. Jen was leary at first but decided she didn't care
how old he was or how ugly he was, she loved him. He was the only one she
could feel comfortable with.

So...they planned a trip to meet in Vale, Colorado. They were going to
spend the weekend together and finally meet. Jen didn't want the hassle of
having to find him, so she said, "Why don't you just get the room and we'll
meet in the room that way there will be no mistake". Jeremy agreed. Jen
showed up at the resort first, and checked into the room telling the desk
lady to hold the key for the next party, so she went into the room.

She wanted things to be special so she lit some candles, put on some music.
She stripped naked and climbed into the bed under the covers, deciding to
surprise Jeremy when he got there. The time soon came, the lights were out,
the mood was right, and she heard a key in the door. She heard someone walk
in and around the corner, and she whispered, "Jeremy". Jeremy said,
"Katie?". "Yes", he said, so he fumbled for the light, and turned it on to
see Jen on the bed naked before him. Then next thing heard around the world
were two blood curling screams. Jen covered herself up, and with her most
humiliating voice said, "Dad?" and Jeremy said, "JEN!!!"

		
		
		

Jack goes to the doctor and says "Doc I'm having trouble getting my penis erect, Can you help me?". After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, "well the problem with you is that the muscles around the base of your penis are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you unless you're willing to try an experimental treatment.

Jack asks sadly, "What is the treatment?"

"Well" the doctors explains, "What we would do is take the muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your penis." Jack thinks about it for a while then says "the thought of going though life without ever having sex again is too much, lets go for it"

A few weeks after the operation Jack is given the green light to use his improved equipment. So he plans a romantic evening with this girl that he's been meaning to ask out for a while but didn't dare until now. They go to this very nice restaurant in the city. In the middle of dinner Jack feels this stirring between his legs that continues to the point of being uncomfortable. To release the pressure he unzips his fly under the table thinking nobody is going to see it anyway. But his penis immediately springs from his pants, grabs a roll from the table and returns to his pants. His date was completely stunned at first but then says with a sly smile," That was incredible! Can you do that again?"

To which Jack replied "Well, I guess so, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my ass"

What's the difference between a girlfriend and a wife? 45 lbs. What's the difference between a boyfriend and a husband? 45 minutes One sperm says to the other, "How far is it to the ovaries?"

The wife and I took our hot buttered rums and sat by the picture window, watching the soft flakes drift down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It was beautiful! Dec 24 -- We awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight. Every tree and shrub covered with a beautiful white mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time and loved it. I did both our driveway and our sidewalk. Later a city snowplow came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and shoveled it again. Dec 26 -- It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature dropped to around 11 degrees. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shoveled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards, the snowplow came by and did his trick again. Much of the snow is now brownish-gray. Jan 1-- Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush, which soon became ice when the temperatures dropped again. Bought snow tires for both cars. Fell on my ass in the driveway. $145 to a chiropractor, but nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected. Jan 5 -- Still cold. Sold the wife's car and bought a 4x4 in order to get to work. Slid into a guardrail anyway and did a considerable amount of damage to the right rear quarterpanel. Had another 8 inches of the white shit last night. Both vehicles covered in salt and crud. More shoveling in store for me today. The goddamn snowplow came by twice today. Jan 9 -- 2 degrees outside. More fuckin snow. Not a tree or shrub on our property that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and kerosene heater which tipped over and nearly burned the house down. I managed to put the flames out, but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands and lost all my eyelashes and eyebrows. Car slid on ice on the way to the emergency room and was totaled. Jan 13 -- Goddamn mother-fuckin white shit keeps coming down!! Have to put on all the clothes we own just to get to the fuckin mailbox. If I ever catch the son-of-a-bitch that drives the snowplow, I'll chew open his chest and rip out his heart. I think he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then comes down the street at 100 mph and buries our driveway again. Jan 17 -- 16 goddamn more fuckin inches of fuckin snow and fuckin sleet and fuckin ice and god knows what other kind of white fuckin shit fell last night. I wounded the fuckin snowplow driver with an ice axe, but he got away. Wife left me. Car won't start. More snow predicted. Wind chill 42 fuckin degrees below. ---oooOooo--- Some Scottish Humour fer yeh !!!!! One misty Scottish morning a man was driving through the hills to Inverness. Suddenly out of the mist, a massive red-haired highlander stepped into the middle of the road. The man is at least six feet four and has the appearance of a walking wardrobe. He has a huge red beard and despite the wind, mist and near freezing temperatures, is wearing only his kilt, a tweed shirt and a tam-o'-shanter at a rakish angle. At the roadside there also stands a young women. She is absolutely beautiful - slim, shapely, fair complexion, golden hair....... heart stopping. The driver stops and stares, and his attention is only distracted from the lovely girl when the red thing opens the car door and drags him from his seat onto the road with a fist resembling a whole raw ham. "Right, you Jimmy" he shouts, "Ah want you to masturbate!", "But......" stammers the driver. "Du it now...or I'll bluddy kill yer!" So the driver turns his back on the girl, drops his trousers and starts to masturbate. Thinking of the girl on the roadside this doesn't take him long. "Right" snarls the highlander "Du it again!" "But....." says the driver. "Now!" So the driver does it again. "Right laddie, du it again" demands the highlander. This goes on for nearly two hours. The hapless driver gets cramps in both arms, he has rubbed himself raw, has violent knob-ache, his sight is failing (as promised for years by his priest) and despite the cold wind has collapsed in a sweating, jibbering heap on the ground, unable to stand. "Du it again" says the highlander. "I can't do it anymore - you'll just have to kill me", whimpers the man. The highlander looks down at the pathetic soul slumped on the roadside. "All right laddie," he says, "NOW you can give ma daughter a lift to Inverness". * THE OLD MAN'S CONFESSION * An elderly man goes into confession and says to the priest, "Father, I'm 80 years old, married, have four kids and 11 grandchildren, and last night I had an affair and I made love to two 18 year old girls. Both of them. Twice." The priest paused for a moment, then said, "Well, my son, when was the last time you were in confession?" "Never Father, I'm Jewish." "So then, why are you telling me?" "I'm telling everybody!" A man walks into a drugstore when the son comes across the condoms and asks his father what they are. The dad replies, "Well son, those are condoms and they're for protection when you're having sex." The son then picks up one of the packs and asks why it has three in it. The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys. One for Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday." The son then picks up one with six condoms asks, "Why six?" The dad replies, "Well son, those are for college men. Two for Friday, two for Saturday and two for Sunday." The son then notices the 12 pack of condoms and asks the same question. The dad replies, "Son, those are for married men. One for January, one for February, one for March...." Gender Translation 1.

About 1 hour later Bill sees his driver staggering back to the=20 car with a bottle of wine in one hand, a cigar in the other and=20 his clothes all ripped and torn. "What happened to you", asked Bill. Well, the Farmer gave me the wine, his wife gave me the Cigar=20 and his 19 year old daughter made mad passionate love to me.

Apparently it had been a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first one, "Heaven's getting pretty close to full today, and I've been asked to admit only people wdho have had particularly horrible deaths. So what's your story? > The first man replies: "Well, for a while I've suspected my wife has been cheating on me, so today I came home early to try to catch her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could tell that something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where this other guy could have been hiding. Finally, I went out to the balcony, and sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, 25 floors above ground! By now, I was really mad, so I started beating on him and kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall off! So, finally, I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and I started hammering on his fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that for long, so he let go and fell--but even after 25 stories, he fell into the bushes, stunned but alive. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran into the kitchen, rolled out the refrigerator, and threw it over the edge where it landed on the man, killing him instantly. But all the stress and anger got to me and I had a heart attack and died there on the balcony." > "That sounds like a pretty bad day to me," said Peter, and he let the man in. > The second man comes up and Peter explains to him about heaven being full, and again asks for his story. > "It's been a very strange day. You see, I live on the 26th floor of my apartment building and every morning I do my exercises out on my balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because I fell over the edge. But I got lucky and caught the railing of the floor below me. I knew that I couln't hang on for very long, when this man suddenly burst out onto the balcony. I thought for sure that I was saved, but he started beating on me and kicking me. I held on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally, I just let go, but again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all right. Just when I was thinking that I was going to be OK, this refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly. And now I'm here." > Once again, Peter had to concede that this sounded like a pretty horrible death. > The third man came to the front of the line, and again the whole process was repeated. Peter explained that heaven was full and asked for his story. > "Picture this..." says the third man, "...I'm hiding naked inside this refrigerator..." There's this couple doing yard work and the wife stops to go up and take a shower....so, the guy is looking for the rake and yells to his wife, who looks out to the upstairs bathroom window, "Where's the rake?" She can't hear him, so he points to his eye [I], points to his knee [need] and then makes raking motions.. "What?" she yells.. So he goes through the whole routine again. She nods like she gets it and then points to her eye, squeezes her left breast, slaps her ass and then rubs her crotch. Her husband is somewhat confused, but totally aroused, so he quickly goes in the house, up the stairs, and into the bathroom.. "What did you say?" She says, "I said: eye, left tit, behind, the bush."

He starts dialing numbers... like a telephone... on his hand, then talking into his hand. The bartender walks over and tells him this is a very tough neighborhood and he doesn't need any trouble here. The guy says, "You don't understand. I'm very hi-tech. I had a phone installed in my hand because I was tired of carrying the cellular." The bartender says "Prove it." The guy dials up a number and hands his hand to the bartender. The bartender talks into the hand and carries on a conversation. "That's incredible", says the bartender... "I would never have believed it!" "Yeah", said the guy, "I can keep in touch with my broker, my wife, you name it. By the way, where is the men's room?" The bartender directs im to the men's room. The guy goes in and 5, 10, 20 minutes go by and he doesn't return. Fearing the worst given the neighborhood, the bartender goes into the men's room. There is the guy spread-eagle on the wall. His pants are pulled down and he has a roll of toilet paper up his butt. "Oh my god!" said the bartender. "Did they rob you? Are you hurt?" The guy turns to him and says: "No, I'm ok..... I'm just waiting for a fax."
