After about the 5th or 6th time, the receptionist couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Why in the world would you want to be sick Mr. Adams ?" The man replied, "I'd hate to be well & feel like this." - - - - - * In a fancy restaurant in Columbia, a Yuppie started to choke on a bone. A doctor rushed over, reassured the man that he was going to be alright and identified himself as a doctor. He performed the Heimlich Maneuver. The bone popped out. As the man's breath & voice returned he said, "I'm ever so grateful doctor, how can I ever repay you ?" The doctor smiled and said, "I'll settle for one-tenth of what you were willing to pay while you were choking." - - - - - * A doctor was being sued for malpractice and stood to lose his practice. Desperate for cash, he decided to hold up a bank. Nobody could read the hold-up note however. - - - - - * These fancy doctors in Columbia are just getting totally out of control. I had to see a Urologist recently and had to make an appointment to make an appointment. - - - - - * A word of advice to you other jokesters. Never let the doctor know you write jokes. I had to have a throat culture done. I asked the surgeon how soon I would know something after I came out of the recovery room. He looked at me and dead-panned, "You're expecting an awful lot from a recovery room Mr Moore." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= April is UGA HumorList Month; to subscribe, Send an e-mail to: listserv@uga.cc.uga.edu leave the subject area blank; in the BODY of the letter, type: SUB HUMOR yourfirstname yourlastname ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 00:41:19 PST From: r s Subject: The kittens ( offensive to Communists) A cat gave birth to kittens outside a Communist State kindergarten. A boy rushed in to tell his teacher the good news. He added, " One kitten spoke to me. It said that getting born in a Communist country was the best thing that happened to it." The teacher was totally excited. Here was a little boy so taken in by all the propaganda that he actually believed Communism was heavenly. She called the District Official to ask him to come over as soon as he could. As transportation was primitive, the District Official took some days to get there. He was given the best treatment and the boy was duly called to tell him what the kitten had said. The boy came in and said," The cat gave birth to kittens and one of the kittens spoke to me. It said that being born in a Communist country was the worst thing that had happened to it." "But that is not what it said the last time you talked to me," the angry teacher retorted. " Yes," said the boy," since then its eyes have opened." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 01:55:58 -0800 From: Roger Taranto Subject: A Quick Question If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Pilgrims. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 09:57:43 -0400 From: Terry Galan Subject: Code words/Marriage (adult themes) Mark and Sandra decide they don't want to discuss sex in front of their 4 and 6 year old children, so they decide to talk in code. One day Mark is feeling a little bit turned on and says to little Katie, "Tell your mother I would really like to type a letter." Katie runs off to find her mom. "Mommy, mommy", shouts Katie, "Daddy would like to type a letter." Sandra replies slightly sheepishly, "Katie, go and tell your daddy that he can't type a letter today as there is a "red ribbon" in the typewriter." Katie ran off to her father and says, "Daddy, daddy, mommy says you can't type a letter today as there is a red ribbon in the typewriter." A few days later Sandra remembers Mark's request and she called Katie, "Katie, tell your daddy that he can type that letter today." Katie went off to look for her father and told him, "Daddy, mommy says you can type the letter today." "That's OK, Katie", Mark says, "You can tell your mother that I don't need the typewriter any more, I wrote the letter by hand." ************************************************************************** A frustrated wife decided her sex life needed spicing up. After work, she went shopping and picked up a pair of crotchless panties. She went home, donned the new garment and selected a short skirt to go with it. She greeted her husband when he came home from work and sat across from him as they had a drink. She took a sip from her glass and slowly spread her legs...."Honey, would you like some of this?" "Hell no", he said, "Look what it's done to your underpants!!!" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 12:40:39 -0800 From: Stan Kegel Subject: Home Puns My husband is always complaining about my inability to stay on a budget and about the costs of running the house in general. This has become worse since we have had the twins. Everything is double ... clothes, food, pediatrician bills. Lately, he has even been complaining about the amount of baby powder I have been using on the twins to prevent them from getting diaper rashes. I've had to remind him that ... talc is cheap. My brother and I used to fight over everything. Who would get the best toy. Who would get the biggest treat. Well, on this rainy day Mother discovered she only had one large lollipop for a treat and told us we would have to share. My brother, who was two years older than me suggested that he would take a wooden mallet and break it evenly for us to share and I readily agreed, But when he hit it, it shattered into a number of uneven pieces that we couldn't divide evenly. Mother told us we should have expected that would occur. She said, ... "You can never give a sucker an even break." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 15:57:13 -0600 From: "Ken Brousseau Sr." Subject: Humor - Weird Business News #4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copied from Jim Barlow's Column, Houston Chronicle: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ APRIL FOOL'S DAY is gone, so we can write another episode of Weird Business News without you thinking this is a spoof. No, here are actual events in the world of business. Now for the Chrome Fish Award. You've probably seen this symbol on the rear of cars owned by some members of the Christian faith -- the stylized outline of a fish. You may even have seen the one with a fish with feet and the word, "Darwin." Recently, I saw such a fish with teeth that made it unmistakably a shark. I wrote down the license plate number, stood in line at the court house, paid my $2, got the name of the car's owner, looked him up in the phone book and sure enough. A lawyer. Our Where's the Beef Award to Fantastic Foods of Petaluma, Calif. After Oprah Winfrey was acquitted of libeling beef in an Amarillo court, the food company donated 10 cases of meatless burgers to Amarillo's food bank. The Plain English Award to Watkins-Johnson Co. of Gaithersburg, Md., which announced "that a new version of the Base2(TM) MacroCell Base Station has entered production and is the first commercially available dual-mode AMPS/IS-136A software-definable base station for both mobile and fixed wireless applications." The latest tale of the Technologically Challenged comes from the reader who reports he encountered a would-be motorist in a parking lot who could not get into her car because the battery in her remote door locker was dead. It was, however, attached to her car keys. He was able to help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 16:52:24 -0700 From: "Keith E.
