Hey All,
Picked this up of the Benny Hill Show...
ADAM and Eve in the garden of eden,
were all so happy and jolly.
I wonder how happy they'd been,
If all the leaves had been holly?

Subject: a little divorce humor
Wife: I can't stand him for one more minute! If I don't do something
soon, I will go insane. He gets drunk, spends all our money on horses
and other women, and if he comes home at all, it's just to change his
clothes.
Lawyer: Well, madam, it certainly looks as though you have grounds for
divorce.
Wife: Divorce! I should say not! I've lived with that bum for thirty
years, and *now* I should make him happy.
I got that one from a George Jessel jokebook. :-)

I really didn't want to read this, but I had no warning. It made me
squirm and feel very uncomfortable. What's more, the humor of this was
lost on me. I understand why it was supposed to be funny, and I would expect
some to laugh at it, but I didn't. There are very few things that I would
choose not to read, but I know that there are other men (not all) that feel
the
same way about this particular subject. Had it had a Bobbit warning, I would
have just ignored it. I stopped reading those a while ago.
By the way, Lorena Bobbit attacked her husband in a premeditated
malicious act as he slept, was acquitted of all charges, and was just
released from a mental hospital after she was evaluated not a threat to
herself or others. She's off scott free. Pretty funny, huh?
Hey, I may not have all the facts, and I was not a member of the jury,
but IMHO that's just hilarious...
A proud moment for our justice system... ha... ha... ha... my joke for the
day.

I attended my college Abnormal Psychology final wearing a clown
costume. Halfway into the exam a small alarm clock (in my pocket)
went off. I put my exam aside, and produced from my many pockets and
hiding places a small lunch, consisting of a sandwich, chips and
juice. After a lesuirely lunch, I rested a few minutes before
returning to the exam. I got an A.

Subject: HUMOR: red riding hood (offensive to wolves, some language)
Little Red Riding Hood wanted to take some goodies to her sick
grandmother who lived across the forest. As she packed up her
basket, her mother warned, "Little Red Riding Hood, be careful.
Remember there are wolves in the forest!"
"Oh Mother, I'll be careful," replied Little Red Riding Hood
as she went out the door.
Sure enough, Little Red Riding Hood had not gone very far into
the forest when a big bad wolf jumped out from behind a tree. The
wolf licked his lips and said, "Little Red Riding Hood, I'm gonna
sodomize you like you've never been sodomized before. I'm gonna put it
in your ass; I'm gonna put it in your mouth; I'm even gonna put it
in your ear!"
At that, Little Red Riding Hood pulled a .45 out of her basket,
pointed it at the wolf, and calmly said, "Oh no you're not. You're
going to eat me, just like the story says."

Subject: 50 Fun Things To Do At a Final Exam That Does Not Matter (Volume 2 of 2)
Here's the rest of the list for you. I hope you all enjoy(ed) it...
-Ogey James Madison University stu_mlogilvi@vax1.acs.jmu.edu
"Make a hole with a gun perpendicular, to the name of this town in a
desktop globe, exit wound in a foreign nation, showing the home of
the one this was written for, ANA NG..."
******************************************************************************
50 FUN THINGS TO DO IN A FINAL THAT DOES NOT MATTER
(i.e. you are going to fail the class completely no matter
what you get on the final exam)
26. Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at some point during
the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
27. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell
him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my
head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
28. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
29. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a
white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until
they drag you away.
30. Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where you know the class
is very small, and the instructor would recognize you if you belonged.
Claim that you have been to every lecture. Fight for your right to take
the exam.
31. Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing loudly, say "you
don't really expect me to waste my time on this drivel? Days of Our
Lives
is on!!!"
32. Bring a water pistol with you. Nuff said.
33. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the
instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to
leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the
River Kwai.
34. Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.
35. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you could
possible think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations.
If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
36. Come in wearing a full knight's outfit, complete with sword and shield.
37. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the exam.
Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.
38. Bring cheat sheets TO ANOTHER CLASS (make sure this is obvious...like
history notes for a calculus exam...otherwise you're not just failing,
you're getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the
comment "Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit."
39. When you walk in, complain about the heat. Strip.
40. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question,
ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.
41. One word: Wrestlemania.
42. Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them around like they do
before concerts start.
43. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
44. Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.
45. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray
to
it often. Consider a small sacrifice.
46. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc... sent to you
every few minutes throughout the exam.
47. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs,
anything
you can reach.
48. Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree
angle.
49. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked
to stop, say "it helps me think." Bring a copy of the Student Handbook
with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical
instruments during finals. Don't forget to use the phrase "Told you
so."
50. Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor __________
Sucks."

Subject: WHAT TO DO THE ONE HOUR & 55 MINUTES (OFFENSIVE TO SOME)Subject: WHAT TO DO THE ONE HOUR & 55 MINUTES (OFFENSIVE TO SOME)
Recent newspaper articles are touting a new treatment for impotence. The
treatment consists of injecting a drug into the base of the penis with a
small "painless" needle, almost guaranteeing an erection of massive
proportion ("The best ever in my life" says Joe F. Lacid). Not content to just
be big, it will last for TWO WHOLE HOURS. Now, my question is,
WHAT WILL I DO FOR FOLLOWING HOUR & 55 MINUTES??????
Here are some suggestions:
1. Use it as a lightning rod
2. Set it up as a weather vane
3. Try it as a swizzle stick (not a coffee stirrer)
4. Play Tether Ball
5. Use it as a fishing pole
6. Be patriotic - use it as a Flag Pole
7. Its a handy coat rack
8. With an appropriate partner, its a Jousting Lance
9. Play pool with your custom Cue Stick
10. Star Wars Light Sabre
11. A Flight Simulator Joy Stick
12. Drive around, use it as you Shift Lever
13. Summer Olympics - try the Pole Vault
14. Your own Karaoke Microphone
15. Its a Magic Wand - wave it at someone
16. Play Ball - Its a Fungo Bat
and
17. It can be your kitty's new scratching post

Subject: Religion - mild
This is about the same vintage as the WC story.
Father Murphy was a priest in a very poor parish. When he asked
for suggestions about how he might raise money for his church, he was
advised that a man with a horse is never out of money. So he went to a
horse auction. He did not, however, make a good buy; the horse he
bought was a donkey. Nevertheless, he decided to enter the donkey in a
race. The donkey came in third, and the headlines next day read,
"Father murphy's Ass Shows" The Archbishop saw the paper and was greatly
displeased.
In the next race, the donkey came in first. The headlines read,
"Father Murphy's Ass Out Front" The Archbishop was even more upset.
Again Father Murphy entered the donkey in a race. This time he came in
second, and the headlines read, "Father Murphy's Ass Back in Place."
The Archbishop said this is just too much and told Father Murphy
to get rid of the donkey. When he was unable to sell it, he gave it to
Sister Agatha to dispose of at once. Sister Agatha was able to sell the
donkey for $10.00. And the next day, the headlines read, "Sister
Agatha peddles Her Ass for $10.00!"
They buried the Archbishop three days later.

Subject: Life 3.N A collection of clean humor gathered on: 1 Nov 88 20
Nasrudin walked into a teahouse and declaimed, "The moon is more useful than
the sun." "Why?", he was asked. "Because at night we need the light more."
Nasrudin was carrying home a piece of liver and the recipe for liver pie.
Suddenly a bird of prey swooped down and snatched the piece of meat from
his hand. As the bird flew off, Nasrudin called after it, "Foolish bird!
You have the liver, but what can you do with it without the recipe?"
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's
character, give him power. -- Abraham Lincoln
Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry.
Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
-- Salvor Hardin, "Foundation"
Never trust anyone who volunteers to assume authority.
Newlan's Truism:
An "acceptable" level of unemployment means that the government
economist to whom it is acceptable still has a job.
Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying
as an income tax refund. -- F. J. Raymond
No matter what other nations may say about the United States,
immigration is still the sincerest form of flattery.
Oh, what tangled webs we weave
When we first practice to deceive.
-- Sir Walter Scott
One day the King decided that he would force all his subjects to tell
the truth. A gallows was erected in front of the city gates. A herald
announced, "Whoever would enter the city must first answer the truth to
a question which will be put to him." Nasrudin was first in line. The
captain of the guard asked him, "Where are you going? Tell the truth
-- the alternative is death by hanging." "I am going," said Nasrudin,
"to be hanged on that gallows." "I don't believe you." "Very well, if
I have told a lie, then hang me!" "But that would make it the truth!"
"Exactly," said Nasrudin, "your truth."
One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to
do and always a clever thing to say. -- Will Durant
One seldom sees a monument to a committee.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Biochemistry
is the study of carbon compounds that crawl. -- Mike Adams
Parkinson's First Law:
Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
Parkinson's Second Law:
Expenditures rise to meet income.
Parkinson's Fourth Law:
The number of people in any working group tends to increase
regardless of the amount of work to be done.
Parkinson's Law of Committees:
The amount of time spent by a committee on an agenda item
is inversely proportional to the cost of the item.
Parkinson's Fifth Law:
If there is a way to delay in important decision, the good
bureaucracy, public or private, will find it.
Parkinson's XIIIth law:
Action expands to fill the void created by human failure.
Pascal Users:
To show respect for the 313th anniversary (tomorrow) of the
death of Blaise Pascal, your programs will be run at half speed.
People who are funny and smart and return phone calls get much better
press than people who are just funny and smart.
-- Howard Simons, "The Washington Post"
Political T.V. commercials prove one thing: some candidates can tell
all their good points and qualifications in just 30 seconds.
Q: Why do mountain climbers rope themselves together?
A: To prevent the sensible ones from going home.

Subject: jesus! jesus! jesus!-- offensive to some
the three wise men were laying the gifts down before the christ
child. the first one kneeled down and lay the gold at the foot
of the manger. the second one kneeled and lay the frankensence(?)
at the foot of the manger. the third kneeled and lay the myrrh(?)
at the foot of the manger, and as he was standing up, hit his head
on a low beam acting as a rafter in the stable.
"jesus christ!" he exclaimed rubbing his head.
mary turned toward joseph and said, "y'know, that's a better name
than howard"
yuk yuk,
big mike
p.s. of course howard is the middle name of jesus h. christ, as in
"our father, who art in heaven, howard be thy name"

Subject: Religionism Annoying to those who don't read their daily mail
Warning: Fundamentally annoying to those who don't bother to read up
on what has been posted before. Contains naughty language and a liberal
dose of sarcasm.
Redundantism: the same shit keeps getting mailed over and over...
Sarcism: if the same shit keeps mailed over and over you're
\ bound to hear about it sarcastically. :]
I know that's not how you spell it, I'm just keeping with the wit.

Subject: Non-religious isms
Here are a few interesting views on politics:
Communisim: If you have two cows you give both cows to the
government, and then the government sells you some of
the milk.
Socialism: If you have two cows, you give both cows to the government
and then the government gives you some of the milk.
Fascism: If you have two cows, you milk both of them and give
the government half of the milk.
Nazism: If you have two cows, the government shoots you and takes
both cows.
New Dealism:If you have two cows, you kill one, milk the other, and
pour the milk down the drain.
Capitalism: If you have two cows, you sell one cow and buy a bull.

Subject: Chastity belt
Moskowitz entered the office of his partner, Finkelstein,
just as the latter was putting a little gold key in his
private safe.
"What's this?" demanded Moskowitz, all curiosity. "What
is that key?"
Finkelstein blushed. "Moskowitz," he said, "it's embarrassing,
to explain, but between partners there should be no
secrets. This is the key to my wife's chastity belt."
Moskowitz was thunderstruck. "Finkelstein, with all due
respect, why does your wife need a chastity belt? She's
a fine woman, and a good, loyal wife, but--how can I say
it?--with her looks, may good luck befall her, she doesn't
need a chastity belt."
"I know, I know. With her looks do you think *I* enjoy making
love to her? So this way when I come home and she says,
'Tonight, darling, how about it?' I can always answer, 'I'm
so sorry, darling. I left the key at the office.'"
