Subject: Two Old Men
Two elderly gentlemen, who had been without sex for several years,
decided they needed to visit a whore house. When they arrived at
the house, the Madame took one look at them and decided she wasn't
going to waste any of her girls on these two old men. So she used
"blowup" dolls instead.
She put the dolls in each man's room and left them to their
business. After the two men were finished, they started for home
and got to talking. The first man said, "I think the girl I had
was dead. She never moved, talked or groaned...how was it for
you?"
The second man replied, "I think mine was a witch."
The first man asked, "How's that?"
"Well," said the second man, "when I nibbled on her breast ...
she farted and flew out the window!"

Subject: BEFORE AOL <adult>
* Before AOL group sex meant the risk of STD's. Now you run the risk
of getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
* Before AOL family reunions were needed just to touch base, and
the main topic was how Cousin Jed was in jail. Now IM's are used
to touch base and they start flying as cousin Jed is TOS'd for
soliciting passwords.
* Before AOL teens would be embarrassed to go to the local
news-stand and pick up a copy of playboy. Now you have to
hide the credit cards to keep them from buying "Live Nudies"
on the Internet.
* Before AOL you sat down and explained to your teen about using
condoms. Now you find yourself out buying a spill-proof keyboard.
* Before AOL your mother ordered pizza from a paper menu. Now
she orders from a "virtual" pizza shop, and gets pissed when the
delivery never comes.
* Before AOL your husband sent flowers for your B-day, Valentines,
etc. Now He shows his affection by sending you roses from a virtual
florist, and justifies it by stating, "They will never die."
* Before AOL you had sex in bed with your spouse. Now you expect your
significant other to sign on with Big44D4U or HungLo10 respectively.
* Before AOL you dined out. Now you scrape last nights meal from your
keyboard.
* Before AOL, You would get upset that your wife went shopping.
Now she can shop till she drops just so long as you hide the credit
card.
* Before AOL the ugliest person you had ever met made a pass at you
and you shot them down grimacing. Now you have no clue as to who
that person really is that you cybered last night.
* Before AOL people used terrible pick up lines at the bar. Now they
bombard you with IM's asking you to get nekkid.
* Before AOL teachers could go to the library, look inside an
Encyclopaedia and tell if you had plagiarised the hell out of it.
Now they can surf the web for years and still have no clue.
* Before AOL people would prejudge you by your physical appearance
and /or abilities. Now they listen to what you have to say before they
make a decision.

Subject: Weird Business Report (2nd 0f 3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copied from Houston Chronicle Columnist Jim Barlow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The I'm Sorry But Can I Speak to a Machine Award to TNT International
Express, which announced that its Houston service center now uses
operators instead of voice mail and will answer each call within three
ding-a-lings.
The They Know Who They Are Award to the group of executives from the
world's leading Web and technology companies who meet annually. The name
of the group is Barbarians on the Net.
Our Good Company Name Award to a Houston-based political consulting
company: The Ayes of Texas.
The Internet Is Getting Out of Hand Award to Lewis Laska, a Nashville,
Tenn., lawyer who announced a Web site for "one-stop shopping for
lawyers suing Wal-Mart Stores Inc."
Robert Half International, the temporary employee firm, collects
blunders from the résumés of job seekers. Some samples:
ˇ "Skills: I am a rabid typist." Don't spread it around.
ˇ "Skills: Typing speed, 765 wpm." Wears out a computer keyboard every
week.
ˇ "Qualifications: Excellent eye for derail." Too bad Jesse James is
no longer hiring for his train-robbing gang.
"Accomplishments: Formed a partnership with three business
collies." Probably known as Bow-Wow LP.

Subject: A Gallimaufry of Guffaws (Adult themes)
By a happy coicidence last Saturday (April 1, 2000) was the
date of this year's A Prairie Home Companion joke show.
**Two penguins are standing on an iceberg.
**one says to the other: "You look like you're
**wearing a tuxedo."
**The second replies, "How do you know I'm not?"
The show was based on hundreds of jokes that Keillor and
company had received from listeners.
**What do you call a Norwegian under a wheelbarrow?
**A mechanic
The jokes ranged from silly little-kid quips
**What did the zero say to the eight?
**Nice belt
through the slightly naughty
**What do you call a guy who never farts in public?
**A private tooter.
right on into the margins of bad taste
**Tampa Bay is gonna merge with the Green Bay Packers
**and they'll be known as Tampacks. Analysts don't
**hold out much hope for the combined team because
**they're only good for one period
**and they have no second string.
The APHC's source collection can be viewed at PHC.MPR.ORG
(note: that's MPR as in Minnesota Public Radio, not NPR).
The audio of the entire show should be up on the website
in a few days.
In related news: NPR (not MPR) announced that it will be
merging with the World Wrestling Conference (WWC) because
there is so much audience overlap and because neither
entity wants to air "Car Talk" by iteslf.

Subject: In the Garden of Eden
One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God.
"Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of
these wonderful animals and that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not
happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a man, Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie,
cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But,
he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. He will
look silly when he's aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll
create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will
revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't
be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly."
"Sounds great." says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow, "What's the
catch, Lord?"
"Well... you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring... So you'll have
to let him believe that I made him first. Just remember, it's our little
secret - you know, woman to woman."

Subject: Password rejection <mildly crude>
Humor which came to my desk via a web wormhole:
I was working in a wall street investment bank when someone from the
information technology group came by our office asking us to enter our
passwords in the new software system.
My colleague Barry with his usual rebellious attitude entered the
password "Penis".
We all fell on the floor with laugher when the computer replied:
*** PASSWORD REJECTED. TOO SHORT *****

Subject: Trees and Pigeons
The Sick Tree
We have an old tree that became diseased and was losing its bark. We
felt it needed a bark transplant and called a tree surgeon.
The communication was mangled and when the surgeon arrived, he went to
work on a tree across the street.
He was halfway done when I noticed the error. I tried to stop him,
yelling, "Stop! Stop! You're barking up the wrong tree!" (By Guy R. Briggs)
The Tree Surgeon
We have a tree in our yard, terribly bothered by blight. We sought
professional help and had a tree surgeon come and look at it. In his
assessment, he noted that the blight was bad, but he was even more
concerned with the deep cracks in the bark, "In fact," he said, ....
"This tree's bark is worse than its blight."
Pigeons
I was driving to work this morning when my Ford quit in the damp weather
I was sitting in the car at the side of the highway, contemplating my
next move, when a pigeon flew down and landed right in the middle of the
hood of the car. It seemed fairly tame, and I soon became fascinated in
watching it up close as it strutted around and made cooing noises.
A few minutes passed, and two more pigeons flew in and joined the first
bird. Pigeons seem to be attracted by crowds, and soon I was sitting
there with a whole hood full of pigeons, all cooing loudly and beginning
to change the color of my hood.
Gradually I noticed that the birds seemed to be trying to get my
attention, which was unnerving, since I had always regarded pigeons as
rather stupid birds. But, sure enough, several of them were dragging a
piece of rope around on the hood, and several others were flying out in
front of the car and returning to the hood.
All of a sudden, I realized what they were doing, so I yanked open the
door and wildly chased them all off.
No darn way was I going to be pigeon-towed!!

Four out of five dentists surveyed recommend
sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum.
The fifth one recommends taffy and Karo syrup,
because he has some rather large gambling debts.

Subject: Secret Agent Murphy <clean>
A secret agent was sent to Ireland to pick up some very sensitive
information from an agent called Murphy. His instructions were to walk
around town using a code phrase until he met his fellow agent.
He found himself on a desolate country road and finally ran into a farmer.
"Hello, said the agent, "I'm looking for a man called Murphy."
"Well you're in luck," said the farmer, "as it happens, there's a village
right over the hill, where there's a butcher called Murphy, the baker is
named Murphy, three widows are called Murphy. In fact my name is Murphy."
"Aha," thought the agent, "here's my man." So he whispered the secret code.
"The sun is shining...the grass is growing...the cows are ready for milking."
"Oh," said the farmer, "you're looking for Murphy the spy - he's in the
village over the other direction."
