Road Sign ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 00:13:26 -0800 From: "Dr. L. A. Wilson" Subject: Jay Leno Monica Lewinsky jokes: Monica Lewinsky won a Grammy Award for "Best Organ Recital". The Alaskan sled-dog race, the "Iditarod", is being run this week; coincidentally, Monica's autobiography has the same name. An Olympic Gold medal was won by "Leaping-Lepinsky", not to be confused with "Kneeling-Lewinsky". Arsenio Hall (guest on Jay's show) said: Pres. Clinton used to "play" a saxophone, now Clinton "is" a saxophone. --------------------------- Tommy Lee jokes: Rock-musician Tommy Lee was released on $500,000 bail for battery of his buxom wife Pamela (Anderson) Lee. Pamela Lee is suing for divorce. Tommy says he misses "his two bouncing babies", and he also misses the kids. Tommy Lee is going to plead "innocent". Apparently, he's going to team up with O.J. Simpson and they'll both search for the "real" wife-beaters. Tommy Lee will be judged by a jury of his peers; it's obvious from viewing the "Tommy-Pamela-sex-video", the result will be a "hung" jury. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Mar 1998 23:15:22 -0800 From: Stan Kegel Subject: The Irish Countess Lura, the Countess of Killarney, was on a world tour with her husband, the Count. They were staying at an Intourist hotel on the edge of the Ural Mountains and were scheduled to begin an escorted horseback tour of the area early the next morning. Lura had developed a good tan a month earlier on the beach at Nice, but now she noticed that it was beginning to fade. Not having anything scheduled after lunch, she took a blanket and wandered off in search of a secluded spot where she could touch up the tan a bit. Unfortunately, Lura failed to realize that at high attitudes the rays of the sun were much more damaging than at sea level. Even worse, she fell asleep. She awoke, feeling rather uncomfortable. Dressing gingerly, she limped back to the hotel to have her husband assess the damages and the prospects for the morrow. After one look he delivered his verdict: "Tour all Ural, Lura? Too raw, Lura. Lie." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 03:23:01 -0500 From: Jim Moore Jr Subject: Moore on Yuppies * A Yuppette got married and elected to take a leave of absence from work to set-up and decorate their new home. A co-worker stopped by to see how she was doing, away from the usual workplace. "Just fine." beamed the new bride. "John's giving me everything I ask for." "You're not asking for enough !" replied her friend. - - - - - * A Yuppie wanted to experience country living so he bought a dairy farm in the Western part of Howard County. Taking some friends from Columbia on a tour, one asked, "Do all these cows give milk ?" "Hiram." he replied with pride, "In my tax bracket, they they don't have to." - - - - - * The Yuppie Mother was seeking advice from her own Mother as to how to make her children appreciate things they take for granted. "I mean really Mother." she said. "Somehow it just doesn't sound right when I tell them to appreciate their air-conditioned sandbox because there are kids over in Africa sweating." - - - - - * At a restaurant in Columbia Maryland, a man lost his wallet with all of his credit cards and a thousand dollars in cash. Using the public address system he announced, "I'll give one hundred dollars to anyone who returns my wallet and money." Another Yuppie jumped to his feet and said, "I'll make that two hundred and a free dinner." - - - - - * I was commenting on the size of a birdhouse and feeder I saw in the yard of a Yuppette acquaintance of mine. She said, "Well... the salad bar takes up most of the space." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Enjoy humor ?

It was sent to me by a friend. Enjoy! A few of Bill Clinton's favorite things...

A girl had devised a device to cause any car that passed in front of her house to suddenly break down but couldn't find any practical way to profit from it. So, thinking clearly, she set up the device, and as the cars passed the house and broke down, she'd offer the man in the car a place to stay for the night. Then, as soon as the man was asleep, he'd be jarred awake by her with his penis in her mouth, and she'd hold a sign up saying "$50 or I'll bite hard!" Of course, usually the guy would pay and she'd let him go. Well one day a Newfoundlander broke down, and had to stay the night. Sure enough, he felt something between his legs at night, and there she is with him in her mouth and holding the sign, "$50 or I'll bite." The Newfoundlander just smiled and said "$100 or I'll piss!" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 08:14:01 -0600 From: "D. B. Christian" Subject: An ironic thought (mildly suggestive) Isn't it ironic that the Spice Girls record on Virgin Records? David Christian, MA (aka Bjorn) Exp Psyc/Instructor of Norwegian UofNoDak Grand Forks ND Shakespere meets Lukas: "R2, R2, wherefore art you?" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 10:48:05 EST From: Bill Edwards Subject: Cynical questions & comments as humor There was live coverage of Princess Di's funeral, Sonny Bono's funeral and now Harry Caray's. It's just a matter of time before cable has the Funeral Channel. If anyone had told me that becoming overweight was this uncomfortable, I never would have allowed it to happen. We have school uniforms, zero-tolerance policies, Internet in the classrooms, and our kids are still the dumbest in the modern world. ] really hope diversity is our strength because US test scores show that education certainly isn't. If you can possible work it out, I would highly recommend having your grandchildren first. My wife told me if God wanted her to touch her toes, He'd put diamonds on the floor. My husband is constantly smiling because I have two college degrees: a bachelor's in the kitchen and a master's in the bedroom. Isn't it strange that the word "phonics" begins with the letter p? I have Caller ID, and it is most helpful. I do not block my name and number, and I do not answer calls from people who block theirs. It is just me, or does it seem like CNN and some other news organizations wanted a war a lot more than the rest of us? Want to know what we stay-at-home moms do all day? We smoke pot, drink beer and watch soap operas all day. Then, at 4 p.m. we wave our magic wand, and all the chores are done. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 13:11:02 EST From: DHughes250 Subject: The job (may be offensive to the Irish) Young man Murphy applied for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the Department manager. Upon completion of the test both men only missed one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the American the job" Murphy: "And why would you be doing that? We both got 9 questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish I should get the job!" Manager: "We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed." Murphy: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?" Manager: "Simple, the American put down on question # 5, "I don't know". You put down "Neither do I ". ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 13:34:54 EST From: Owen KL Subject: Re: Shakespeare meets Lucas In a message dated 98-03-05, dchristi@BADLANDS.NODAK.EDU writes: << Shakespeare meets Lucas: "R2, R2, wherefore art you?" >> "R2 or D2, that is the question!" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 15:10:06 -0500 From: "Aditya, the Hindu Skeptic" Subject: How rich he is? > On Bill Gates' rate of making money and "Bill Bills". > > Consider that he made this money in the 22 years or so since Microsoft > was founded in 1975.

Sadly, this is all there is to it, and unless someone out there knows differently, I can't help. Anyways, on to the humour. 1. Grasp cat firmly in your arms. Cradle its head on your elbow, just as if you were giving a baby a bottle. Coo confidently, "That's a nice kitty." Drop the pill in its mouth. 2. Retrieve cat from top of lamp & pill from under sofa. 3. Follow same proceedure as in 1, but hold cat's front paws down with left hand & back paws down with elbow of right arm. Poke pill into its mouth with right forefinger. 4. Retrieve cat from under bed. Get new pill from bottle. (resist impulse to get new cat.) 5. Again proceed as in 1, except when you have cat firmly cradled in bottle-feeding position, sit on edge of chair, fold your torso over cat, bring your right hand over your left elbow, open cat's mouth by lifting the upper jaw & pop pill in - quickly! Since your head is down by your knees, you won't be able to see what you are doing. That's just as well. 6. Leave cat hanging on drapes. Leave pill in your hair. 7 If you are a woman, have a good cry. If you are a man, have a good cry. 8. Now pull yourself together. Who's the boss here anyway? Retrieve cat & pill. Assuming position 1, say sternly, "Who's the the boss here anyway?" Open cat's mouth, take pill & ....Oooops! 9. This isn't working, is it? Collapse & think. Aha! Those flashing calws are causing the chaos. 10. Crawl to the linen closet. Drag back a large beach towl. Spread towel on floor. 11. Retrieve cat from kitchen counter & pill from potted plant. 12. Spread cat on towel near one end with its head over long edge. 13. Flatten cat's front & back legs over its stomach. (resist impulse to flatten cat.) 14. Roll cat in towel. Work fast; time & tabbies wait for no man - or woman! 15. Resume position 1. Rotate your left hand to cat's head. Press its mouth at the jaw hinges like opening the petals of a snapdragon. 16. Drop pill into cat's mouth & poke gently. Voila! It's done! 17. Vacuum up loose fur (cat's). Apply bandages to wounds (yours). 18. Take two asprins & lie down. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 22:44:10 -0800 From: Steven & Susan Subject: medical pun Medical science has determined that attitude influences susceptibility to disease, especially infection by bacterial agents. People who, by their nature, are cheerful and upbeat are less prone to illness than are those who are consistently grumpy malcontents. Thus, the surly bird gets the germ. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 01:45:37 +0000 From: Jack Shea Subject: Road Sign ROAD NOT SOLIDLY FROZEN Heavy loads limited - actual road sign on state highway 11 in northern Maine ------------------------------ End of HUMOR Digest - 5 Mar 1998 to 6 Mar 1998 **********************************************
