Shortly before his first performance in that role, Garrick fell and sustained a fractured tibia. He played the part with a cast on his leg, and won raves. While some gossips hinted that the cast was merely a device to permit his continuing the limp that had served him so well as Richard, theatergoers by and large accepted the performance, limp and all. Garrick went on to play Hamlet on many other occasions, and of course did not limp in the part once his leg had healed. Other lesser actors, however, borrowed not only his interpretation of the role but the limp that had gone with it. Although there is nothing in the play to suggest that the melancholy Danc ought to limp, several generations of English actors hobbled in the part, and, while the theatrical world today has forgotten this curious bit of business, it survives in that perennial opening night wish: "Break a leg!" It endures, too, in that show biz bromide, . . . "You can't make a Hamlet without breaking legs." (By Lawrence Block) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 05:33:26 EDT From: Robert Prieto Subject: The Penis, The Outhouse, The Jewish Bride Frank is getting married on Saturday. Friday night, his buddies take him out to get laid in every way possible for the last time as a single guy. They hire half a dozen hookers to do things to Frank he hadn't even imagined! By the time the night is over, his pecker is a mangled mess. He doesn't know else what to do, so he takes a couple of popsicle sticks and puts one on either side of his penis, and wraps it up with adhesive tape. The next day, he gets married and now here he is with his new bride at their honeymoon suite. She walks out of the bathroom stark naked, and says, "Look, Honey. Untouched by human hands." He's got to think quick...he pulls down his pants and says, "Look! Not even out of the crate!" ------------------------------------ It's a sunny day in the Ozarks, and Maw walk in the house and says, "Jeb, get yerself out there and fix that there outhouse." "All right, Maw." He replies. He walks out to the outhouse, looks it over and hollers toward the house, "There ain't nuthin' wrong with this here outhouse, Maw!." She hollers back, "Put your head down the hole!" He puts his head in the hole and yells, "There ain't nuthin' wrong with this here outhouse!" He goes to lift his head out and says, "OWW!! OWW!! Help Maw! My beard's stuck! She says, "It's aggravatin', ain't it?" ----------------------------- A Jewish girl come home one day and announces, "Ma, I got married." "Oy, that's great.", her mother says. "But Ma, he's an Arab.", the girl continues. Her mother replies, "Oy, that's terrible!" "But Ma", the girl goes on, "He's an Arab sheik. He's wealthy beyond your wildest dreams. You and daddy are going to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of your lives!" Six months later, the girl walks into the house and says, "Ma, I love my Arab sheik, but my God, all he wants to do is screw me in the ass. Day and night, that's all he wants to do. When we got married, my asshole was the size of a dime...now it's the size of a silver dollar!" Her mother says, "So for ninety cents you're going to make trouble?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of Progress? ;-) RP ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 06:20:33 -0400 From: Bill Stebbins Subject: Children's books you will NOT see: "You Were an Accident" "Strangers Have the Best Candy" "The Little Sissy Who Snitched" "Some Kittens Can Fly!"

The doctor asks him about his sex life. "Well..." the perfesser drawled, "not bad at all, to be honest. The wife isn't all that interested anymore, so I just cruise around. In the past week I was able to pick-up and bed at least three girls, none of whom were over thirty years old." "My goodness, and at your age too," the doctor said. "I hope you at least took some precautions." "Yep. I may be old, but I'm not senile yet, doc. I gave 'em all a phony name." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The old perfesser was invited for a thorough check-up to the district clinic. Arriving at the huge and somewhat confusing building, he receives the following directions from the receptionist on the ground floor. "Well, sir, first you go to the 2nd floor where they take your blood for testing, then you move to the 3rd floor where you deliver your urine, and through with this you' ve got to report to the 4th floor where they take your stool. Finally, come back to this floor and I will show you where to go. You will sure enjoy that because a young nurse will take your semen sample. When all this is done, you go home and wait for us to send you the results." Completely annoyed, the old perfesser says: "Oh, dear, that's so hard to remember for a man of my age. Wouldn't it be better if I simply leave my underpants with you right here? It's all there....." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A doctor was awakened at four in the morning by the old perfesser, who demanded to know how much he charged for a house call. "Twenty-five dollars," muttered the sleepy physician. "How much is an office visit?" demanded the old perfesser. "Fifteen dollars." "Okay, Doc," said the old perfesser. "I'll meet you in your office in fifteen minutes." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The old perfesser went to his eye doctor for a checkup. As he was getting older, he noticed that he doesn't see things as well up close. He told the doc about this, and as he was checking his eyes, he asked if that caused any particular problems. The old perfesser commented that his food looked fuzzy. The doctor suggested that he clean out his refrigerator..... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The old perfesser complained to his doctor, "I've been to three other doctors and none of them agreed with your diagnosis." The doctor calmly replied, "Just wait until the autopsy, then they'll see that I was right." ***************************************************************** God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will live forever. -- The Old Perfesser ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 08:11:17 -0500 From: "Don E.

She's not a celebrity, she's a national embarrassment. Overheard at my exercise salon: Where do you want to go for dinner after this? BBQ ribs sounds good to me. I remember when we tried to sneak candy into school. Our Constitution should be changed to protect the accused's right to be considered innocent until the DNA test comes back. Some rich guys have finally flown around the world in a balloon. Now maybe they will get a life and do something productive. My Yankee husband says Southerners never get anything done because we're always "fixing" to do something, and never really get around to doing it. I have three dogs and a wife, and all four of them bark constantly. Sing of the apocalypse: Cher has the top pop song in the U.S. Headline seen in the Gainesville, Florida, Sun: "Poverty Linked to Inequality of Wealth" Why do people recite their phone number to you so fast that you can't get it down? Guess they don't want you to call them back. How do you know you have an airline pilot at your party? Don't worry, he'll remind you every 15 minutes. The US Army taught me how to fight and it taught me how to drink. Now, because of all the fighting and drinking , I've just lost my third wife. Any lawyers out there think I have a case? I found a sure fire way to make telemarketers hang up every time. I answer the phone, "Hola." Seen on the bumper of a car that committed a traffic blunder: "Stupidity should be painful." Does this mean I can slap him? The latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75 percent of the population. Carl Bernstein needs to write another book and call it, "All the President's Women."

A Scotsman, Englishman and Arab are all in the Maternity ward. The Doctor comes through with congratulations to them all, explaining that they are all the proud new fathers of baby sons. However he says, there has been a problem. " We were really busy, and somehow we have managed to get your three sons mixed up " In order to sort the situation out the Doctor suggests they draw lots to see who gets first choice. The result is that the Scotsman gets first choice. The Doctor takes the Scotsman through to the 3 babies: " I'll take that one " he says pointing to the little brown child. " Hold on " says the Doctor " that 's obviously not your son, he's as brown as a chocolate bar and both you and your wife are white " " I know " replies the Scotsman " but one of the other two is English, and I am just not prepared to take the risk" -- If u cannot find the pot of gold....... ~Just enjoy the Raneboux~ RAINY ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 15:28:32 -0500 From: Joe Hickman Subject: Be Kind to Animals Week ---------- This is Be Kind To Animals Week, so: Let a skunk borrow your Old Spice.

His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him. He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog. As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. they fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. The friend saw everything but did not say a single word. On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog?" "I sure did," responded his friend. "He can't swim." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 20:02:01 -0700 From: Stan Kegel Subject: Dental Hygiene On a distant planet , the dominant population was obsessed with dental hygiene due to the fact that they had three complete receding sets of mandibles. They were so concerned with maintaining their teeth, that the custom was to floss several times a day. To achieve this goal, they grew a floss plant from which the fibers were extracted to make the necessary product. Being a scientifically advanced species especially in the area of genetics, they developed a sub-species of workers by using their own genetic print as a starting point. These clones were specifically designed to harvest the plants, but were deficient in other areas such as intelligence. As long as they were supervised, they did a good job. However, if left untended, they would usually wander aimlessly off. From whence comes their expression: . . . A strolling clone gathers no floss. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 09:28:02 -0400 From: Chalapathi Rao Poduri Subject: Love, Lust and Marriage Love - When your eyes meet across a crowded room.
