Talking Joke for today?

Quote:
President Bush and Colin Powell are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Powell sitting over there?"

The barman says, "Yep, that's them."

So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor. What are you guys doing in here?"

Bush says, "We're planning WW III ".

And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"

Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Iraqis this time and one bicycle repairman."

The guy exclaimed, "A bicycle repairman? Why kill a bicycle repairman?

Bush turns to Powell, punches him on the shoulder and says, "See, smart ass! I told you no one would worry about the 140 million Iraqis!"
OK - so it's a bad joke, but I don't write 'em...

Jay and his blonde wife live in Chicago. One winter
morning while listening to the radio, they hear the
announcer say, "We are going to have 3 to 4 inches of
snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered
side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."
Jay's wife goes out and moves her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio
announcer says, "We are expecting 4 to 5 inches of snow
today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side
of the street, so the snowplow can get through."
Jay's wife goes out and moves her car again.
The next week they are having breakfast again, when the
radio announcer says "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches
of snow today. You must park...", then the electric
power goes out.
Jay's wife says, "Honey, I don't know what to do."
Jay says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage
this time?"

DEAR EMPLOYEE LETTER

As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for department areas, we are forced to cut down on our number of personnel. Under this plan, older employees will be asked to take early retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger people who represent our future. Therefore, a program to phase out older personnel by the end of the current fiscal year, via retirement, will be placed into effect immediately. This program will be known as SLAP (Sever Late-Aged Personnel). Employees who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look for jobs outside the company. SLAPPED employees can request a review of their employment records before actual retirement takes place. This review phase of the program is called SCREW. SCREW (Survey of Capabilities of Retired Early Workers). All employees who have been SLAPPED and SCREWED may file an appeal with upper management. This appeal is called SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following Termination). Under the terms of the new policy, an employee may be SLAPPED once, SCREWED twice, but may be SHAFTED as many times as the company deems appropriate. If an employee follows the above procedure, he/she will be entitled to get: HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel's Early Severance) or CLAP (Combined Lump sum Assistance Payment). As HERPES and CLAP are considered benefit plans, any employee who has received HERPES or CLAP will no longer be SLAPPED or SCREWED by the company. Management wishes to assure the younger employees who remain on board that the company will continue its policy of training employees through our: Special High Intensity Training (#^&#^&#^&#^&). We take pride in the amount of #^&#^&#^&#^& our employees receive. We have given our employees more #^&#^&#^&#^& than any company in this area. If any employee feels they do not receive enough #^&#^&#^&#^& on the job, see your immediate supervisor. Your supervisor is specially trained to make sure you receive all the #^&#^&#^&#^& you can stand. And, once again, thanks for all your years of service with us.

I WANT TO BE WITH YOU

After the christening of his baby brother in church, little Johnny sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That priest said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I want to stay with you guys!"

Howard is 95 and lives in a senior citizen home.#^& Every night Howard
goes to a secluded garden behind the centre to sit and ponder his
accomplishments and long life.

One evening Annabel, aged 87 wanders into the garden.#^& They begin
to chat, and before they know it, several hours have passed.#^& After a
short lull in their conversation, Howard turns to Annabel and asks "Do
you want to know what I miss most of all?"

She asks "What?" and he replies "SEX!!!"

Annabel exclaims "Why you old buzzard, you couldn't get it up if I held
a gun to your head."

"I know" Howard says, "but it would be nice if a woman just held it for
awhile."

"Well I can oblige," says Annabel, who gently unzips his trousers and
removes his manhood and proceeds to hold it.#^& Afterwards they agree
to meet secretly each night in the garden where they would sit and talk
and Annabel would hold Howard's manhood.

Then one night Howard didn't show up at their meeting place.#^& Alarmed,
Annabel decided to find Howard and make sure that he was OK.#^& She
walked around the senior citizen home where she found him sitting by
the pool with another female resident who was holding his manhood.

Furious, Annabel yelled "You two-timing creep! What does she have
that I don't have?"

Howard smiled and replied, "Parkinson's."

Mother to daughter advice: Cook a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you get rid of him for the whole weekend.

The difference between a fairy tale and a fish story is a fairy tail begins, "Once upon a time..." and a fish story begins, " This ain't no bullsh..."

to send you jokes from the net.

a quick riddle???..



Mr. Robinson and his son were driving down the road one day when they were in a terrible car wreck. Mr. Robinson died on impact and they rushed his son Mark to the Emergency Room. When they arrived the doctor came in and said, "I cannot operate on him. He is my son!" How is this possible?

Speaking of praying mantis, we caught 2 in our backyard garden last year. so my wife puts them in a fish tank to see what happens. Turns out they were male and female. They end up mating 2 days later and right after there done the female starts chasing the male all around the cage. This guy is running for his life(literally). After about 40 laps around the cage she catches him. After she wrestles him down SHE STARTS TO EAT HIM. She ate every last piece of that poor sap. There happened to be a bunch of my wifes freinds there that day and they were all high five'n and hootin and hollerin'. I wanted to take that little @#$%@ outside for some justice! But after some research it turns out they need the nutrients from the males body for reproduction! I am scarred for life.

Good one Red....

Subject: Sign


Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say,"I'm Stupid", That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them anything.

It would be like, "Excuse me... oops, never mind didn't see your sign".

It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My neighbor comes over and says "Hey, you moving? " "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign."

A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?" "Nope. Talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel. There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there's only one way to test it. "Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good... They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well, all right, but hold my sign. I don't wanna lose it."

Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those
side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist. I said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."

We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.

I learned to drive an 18 wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn't you know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and I couldn't get it out no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He went through his basic questioning..ok..no problem. I thought sure he was clear of needing a sign...until he asked "So..is your truck stuck?" I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and then back to him and said "No I'm delivering' a bridge... here's your sign."

I stayed late at work one night and a co-worker looked at me and said "Are you still here?" I replied, "No. I left about 10 minutes ago. Here's your sign."

Anybody you know need a sign today? The next time someone says something stupid ask them where their sign is.
