Subject: A mother fixation....... A Jewish young man was seeing a psychiatrist for an eating and sleeping disorder. "I am so obsessed with my mother... As soon as I go to sleep, I start dreaming, and everyone in my dream turns into my mother. I wake up in such a state, all I can do is go downstairs and eat a piece of toast." The psychiatrist replies: "What, just one piece of toast, for a big boy like you?" ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 10:23:23 EST From: "David L.

I looked at the printing on the bag and said, "No. Those are Colorado potatoes." "Good," he replied.

She was not quite ready and suggested he play with her dog handing him a red rubber ball. The dog was quite insistent that he play with it and begged each time he brought the ball back. The young man began tossing it to further corners of the room to get a second or two extra peace from the insistent dog. He began trying to get the ball to go around the corner into the kitchen then he tried bouncing it into the area behind the couch. This was going fine and the dog seemed to like the extra challenge when the ball hit the corner of a stool and bounced onto the balcony and over it. The dog lept over the rail after the ball... on a 12th floor apartment. The young man looked on in shock as his date came from her room, took him by the arm and led him from the apartment making idle chatter about the weather. They were in the elevator by the time he could even think to say anything. He realized that he's allowed the moment to pass when he should have told her what had happened to her dog. Each second pushed it further away. He was distant during dinner, terribly distracted. He hardly knew what the play they were watching was about. In the cab ride back, he was momentarily in a state of panic but was able to control himself. As she put her keys into the lock, he turned to her and said, "You know, your dog looked sort of depressed." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ed was devoted to his cat. He had special cat toys, special foods, special litter, everything a cat could require, Ed provided. When he had, absolutely HAD to go to San Francisco for a month and couldn't possibly take Tabitha (the cat) with him, he called on his younger brother. He got George to agree to watch Tabitha, to brush her, to feed her, to change the litter at the right intervals, and made him promise to spend time with Tabitha so that she wouldn't get lonely. Ed took the plane to Frisco, certain that Tabitha was in good hands. He called the first night to see how things were going. "How's Tabitha?" he asked George. "The Cat's dead!" was George's only reply. Ed was in shock. He hung up the phone without another word. He was in a daze at work for the next three days until he finally convinced himself he had to call George again. When George answered the phone, Ed gave him no chance to say more than "Hello," when he began his speech. "George, you know what Tabitha meant to me. You didn't have to be that abrupt. You could have broken it to me gently. You could have said, "Tabitha is up on the roof. Don't worry. We'll get her down." Then you could have told me that Tabitha was at the Vets but that he was confident she'd be ok. Then the next time I called you could break it to me that she'd passed away. Do you see what I mean?" "I guess so," George conceded, "I could have been gentler I guess." "Good. I feel better getting that off my chest. How's Mom?" "Mom's up on the roof," George confided. ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 14:29:27 EST From: Lance Williams Subject: crazy stores How's this for a crazy combination for a store.

First of all, I am tired of two things... People trying to unsubscribe on the main list (imagine that) and everyone complaining on the main list about people unsubscribing! If you have a complaint, write to the idiot who doesn't know what they are doing! Ok, enough of the bitching... on with the humor!! This test was actually given to me in a Junior level college class. To make it work right, (if you give it to someone) preesure them and enforce the 3 minute rule!! SPEED TEST INSTRUCTIONS: You have three minutes in which to complete the following test. 1. Read everything before doing anything. 2. Put your name in the upper right-hand corner. 3. Circle the work "name" in number 2. 4. Draw five small squares in the upper left-hand corner. 5. Put an "x" in each square mentioned in number 4. 6. Put a circle around each square. 7. Sign your name under the title of this page. 8. After the title, write "yes, yes, yes" 9. Put a circle around number 7. 10. Put an "x" in the lower left-hand corner of this page. 11. Draw a triangle around the "x". 12. In the space to the right, multiply 70 x 30. 13. Draw a circle around the word "paper" in number 4. 14. Loudly call out your first name when you get to this point in the test. 15. If you think you have carefully followed directions, call out, "I have!" 16. On the immediate right side of this paper, add 107 and 278. 17. Put a circle around your answer to number 16. 18. Count aloud in your normal speaking voice from 1 to 20. 19. Punch three holes in the paper with your pencil point here . . . 20. If you are the first person to get this far, call out loudly, "I am the leader in following the directions!" 21. Underline all the even numbers on the left-hand side of the paper. 22. Now that you have finished reading directions carefully, do only sentences one and two. You can imagine the fun people have (who read the directions) watching the idiots go through the entire test following every direction! ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 11:45:06 -0800 From: "DNA:THE SPLICE OF LIFE" Subject: potpourri (offensive and in general bad taste) There was some great humor yesterday that reminded me of a variety of jokes, humorous incidences, and my reckless childhood. 1. Those actual signs reminded me of when I was in Wales. One evening we stopped inthis beautiful little Welsh village.After we unpacked, the ol' family went on a walking tour of the village. Outside one of the ancient cemetaries was a sign that made me ponder. The sign said: No exorcising of dogs. Apparently the church didn't want to be part of the stray pet solution. Another sign I frequently saw was: No entry except for access. 2. Bubba Jackson certainly has been taking a lot of flack lately (that's Michael Jackson) so I thought, HEY!! Why not take a cheap shot myself. What's the difference between Michael Jackson and a Jockey? A Jockey has a license to ride a three year old 3. Finally, and this is in really baaaaaad taste, those 2fer stores. How about an abortion clinic and Pizza joint? There slogan could be: Delivery in 30 minutes or it's free. Or maybe, Try our zesty homemade sauce. Made fresh daily from the finest ingredients.

Said a foolish householder of Wales, "An odor of coal gas prevails, She then struck a light, And later that night, Was collected in seventeen pails. There's a notable family named Stein, There's Gertrude, there's EP, and there's Ein, Gert's prose is the bunk, Ep's sculpture is junk, And no one can understand Ein. A lady removing her scanties, Heard them crackle electrical chanties, Said her husband, "My Dear, I very much fear, You suffer from amps in your panties." Rosalina, a pretty young lass, Had a truly magnificent ass: Not rounded and pink, As you possibly think, It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass. A pansy who lived in Khartoum, Took a lesbian up to his room, And they argued a lot, About who would do what, And how and with which and to whom. There once was a young girl named Jeanie, Whose Dad was a terrible meanie, He fashioned a latch, and a hatch for her snatch, She could only be had by Houdini. ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 16:05:22 -0500 From: Katy Sweeny Subject: lawyer jokes Q Why does California have so many lawyers and NJ have so much toxic waste?

McCord" Subject: Sexual Snake in the Grass Little Johnny was 12 years old and like other boys his age, rather curious. He has been hearing quite a bit about "courting" from the older boys and he wondered what it was and how it was done. One day he took his question to his mother, who became rather flustered. Instead of explaining things to Johnny, she told him to hide behind the curtains one night and watch his older sister and her boyfriend. That he did! the following morning, Johnny described everything to his mother. Sis and her boyfriend sat and talked awhile, then he turned off most of the lights. then he started to kiss and hug her. I figured Sis must have been getting sick, because her face started looking funny. He must have thought so too, because he put his hand inside her blouse to feel her heart, just like the doctor would. He wasn't as smart as the doctor because he seemed to have trouble finding her heart. I guess he was getting sick too, because pretty soon both of them started panting and getting all out of breath. His other hand must have been cold, because he put it under her skirt. About this time, Sis got worse and began to moan and sigh and squirm around and slide down to the other end of the couch. This is when the fever started. I knew it was a fever because Sis told him she felt really hot. Finally I found out what was making them so sick...a big eel had gotten inside his pants somehow. It just jumped out of his pants and stood there, about ten inches long....I swear! When Sis saw it she got scared.... her eyes got big and her mouth fell open and she started calling out to God and stuff like that. She said it was the biggest one she had ever seen. I should tell her about the ones down at the lake. Anyways, Sis got brave and tried to kill the eel by biting it's head off. All of a sudden, she made a noise and let the eel go. I guess it bit her back. Then she grabbed it with both hands and held it tight while he took a muzzle out of his pocket and slipped it over the eel's head to keep it from biting again. Sis lay back and spread her legs so she could get a scissor lock on it, and he helped by laying on top of the eel. The eel put up a hell of a fight. Sis started groaning and squealing and her boyfriend almost upset the couch. I guess they wanted to kill the eel by squashing it between them. After awhile they both quit moving and gave a great sigh. I knew it was dead because it just hung there, limp and some of its insides were hanging out. Sis and her boyfriend were a little tired from the battle but they went back to courting anyway. He started hugging and kissing her again. By golly the eel wasn't dead. It jumped straight up and started to fight again. I guess eels are like cats, they have nine lives. This time Sis jumped up and tried to kill the eel by sitting on it. After thirty-five minutes of struggling, they finally killed the eel. I knew it was dead for sure this time because I saw Sis' boyfriend peel its skin off and flush it down the toilet! ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 17:14:27 -0500 From: "Jim Mica (Jimbo), Office of Admission, Ithaca College" Subject: Groundhog Day GROUNDHOG DAY IS NIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, indeed, February 2nd is Groundhog Day, one holiday that several of you have not been taking seriously enough. Astronomically, Groundhog Day puts us midway between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox, deep in the heart of (brr) Winter. Economically, if we were living in medieval Scotland, one-fourth of our yearly rents would be due on February 2nd. What this says to those of us who are middle-aged and tend to surround scotch (as opposed to being in the Middle Ages and surrounded by Scotsmen) I am not entirely sure. Theologically, at least in the Roman Catholic tradition, February 2nd is Candlemas Day. The end of the Christmas season. But, of course you all know that the true import of Groundhog Day is meteorological. If Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his burrow on Gobbler's Nob on February 2nd and does not see his shadow, spring is just around the corner. On the other hand, if Phil sees his shadow, he will be scared back into his burrow and spring will take 6 weeks to get here. What is less well known about Groundhog Day is the Even Year Conditional: If Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his burrow wearing lipstick then the upcoming National Elections will focus on issues, a National League Baseball team will raise its hemline and the stock market will behave as predicted. All offices will be closed on February 2nd in observance of Groundhog Day. I'll be looking for you all on Gobbler's Nob. ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 14:30:10 -0800 From: Larry Richards Subject: Clean - may offend christians and ground hogs A christian school wanted to offer scholarships to students from other countries but the applicants needed to know something about U.S. and of course Christianity. So each applicant was asked a question to see if they qualified. The first applicant was asked about Christmas. "Oh Christmas", the applicant said. "That's the day Americans celebrate surviving the first winter in America and have a turkey and.." "No, no!!" the interviewers said. "Next applicant please." "Tell us about Thanksgiving" the panel said to the next applicant. "Thanksgiving is when a man in a red suit delivers gifts to children.." "No, no", the panel said. "Send in the last applicant." "What do you know about Easter?" the panel asked. "Easter is when Jesus was crucified." The panel starts nodding their heads. "He dies and is buried in a cave." The panel is gettin more excited now. "It is sealed with a big rock." The panel is really excited now. They finally have a hot prospect. "On the third day the rock rolls aside and Jesus comes out. And if he sees his shadow, there is six more weeks of winter" ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 19:02:27 -0500 From: Gerald Lack Subject: Monty Python Is there an FTP site that has scripts, .wav files, or other funny Monty Python stuff? If so, what is the address? Thanks. -glack@jade.tufts.edu True Story: I was recently told by a friend of mine, who just so happened to be the inventor and distributor of the Ginsu Knife (tm) that he is seriously considering a name change for the knife in his infomercials. Of course, it would be called the Lorena Bobbitt Slicer and Dicer. It can cut through a man's penis with no trouble and then cut a ripe tomato in half!

A polish guy won 2 gold medals in the olympics, and was SO proud of them, that when he got home, he had them bronzed. An indian chief was married to three squaws, each of them pregnant. He wanted to get each of them a hide to give birth on, so he went hunting. He loved the 1st squaw, but she wasn't his "favorite," so he got her an ordinarybear hide. He loved the second squaw a bit more, so got her a buffalo hide. The third squaw was his favorite, though, so he went searching and got her a rare hippopotomaus hide. All of the squaws gave birth about the same time. The 1st squaw had one healthy baby boy. The 2nd squaw also had one healthy baby boy. The 3rd squaw though, had not one, but TWO healthy baby boys. the moral of the story? The squa{ on the hippopotomaus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides. (say it out loud if you don't get it) how did the polack almost kill himself raking leaves? He fell out of the tree.

He sits down and calls for the bartender. The bartender comes over and says, "Hey man, where'd ya git that?" The parrot looks at the bartender and says "AFRICA!" ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 23:20:48 -0500 From: Benjamin Braddock Subject: political joke...may be offensive to feminists Rush Limbaugh and Hillary Clinton walk into an elevator together. Rush looks over at Hillary, likes what he sees and gives her a wink. Hillary looks back at Rush and winks back at him. Rush, sensing the moment takes off his tie and jacket. Hillary, starting to feel warm in the elevator removes her blouse. Rush then removes his pants and tosses them aside. Hillary, breathing heavily, removes her skirt and high heels.and She beckons Rush to come closer and sensuously whispers in his ear, "Oh, Rush!! Make me feel like a woman!" Rush then reaches down, picks up his clothes, balls them up and throws them at her and says "FOLD THEM!" ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 22:37:33 -0600 From: Ian Chai Subject: Various clean jokes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What's the difference between the United States and Eastern Eupropean countries? The United States still has a communist party. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There's no Truth in the News and no News in the Truth. Pravda = Truth, and Isvestia = News. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From the New York Times, 11/7/89: Q. Do you know what prizes the communists are now offering for recruiting new party members? A. If you get one new member, you don't pay dues. Two new members, you can quit the party. And for three, you get a certificate saying you were never a member. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I was driving through the country, and there were some cows by the side of the road. We're all mature adults, so we've all done this: I leaned my head out of the car window, and yelled, "Moooooooooo." Like we expect that cow to be thinking, "Hey, there's a cow driving that car! How can he afford that?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy wants a job as a signalman on the railways. He is told to meet the inspector at the signal box. The inspector puts this question to him: "What would you do if you realised that 2 trains were heading for each other on the same track?" Andy says,"I would switch the points for one of the trains." "What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector. "Then I'd dash down out of the signal box," said Andy,"and I'd use the manual lever over there." "What if that had been struck by lightning?" "Then," Andy continues,"I'd run back into the signal box and phone the next signal box." "What if the phone was engaged?" "Well in that case," persevered Andy,"I'd rush down out of the box and use the public emergency phone at the level crossing up there." "What if that was vandalised?" "Oh well then I'd run into the village and get my uncle Silas." This puzzles the inspector, so he asks, "Why would you do that?" Came the answer, "Because he's never seen a train crash." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hind's Law #6: Make it possible to write programs in English and you will quickly discover that programmers do not know how to write in English.
