Subject: Forewarned is... whatever <clean>
ACTUAL Warnings on labels from various countries:
USA:
An insect spray boasts "Kill all insects", but adds "Warning
- harmful to bees." (Very thoughtful, that).
SWEDEN:
On the packaging of a chainsaw: "Do not try to stop chain
with hands."
BRITAIN:
Marks & Spencer bread and butter pudding has a warning
on the box bottom: "Take care - product will be hot after heating."
>From Rowenta: "Do not iron clothes on body."
>From Boots (chain of pharmacies & manufacturer of pharmaceuticals),
on a cough syrup for young children urges: "Do not drive car or
operate machinery. Avoid alcoholic drinks." (This must be meant for *very*
precocious kids).
ITALY:
Label on a cigarette lighter: "Do not light flame near the face."
KOREA:
On the box of a kitchen knife: "Warning - may be dangerous to
children." (Translation difficulties might explain this one).
Breaking the news: Hillary Clinton has hired Loretta Bobbit as her
personal consultant.

Subject: It's What You Say Too !
* In Howard County, Traffic Policemen generally patrol the same
area each day. One day an officer, normally assigned to Yuppie
City (aka Columbia), was sent to the southern end of the County.
It's, shall we shall, a less "polished" area.
Stopping his first violator, he said "Good Morning sir, I'm
Officer [Smith] and I would like to see your driving permit in
reference to a possible violation of Article 21-707, probable
Stop Sign infraction.
The burly man in the car looked at the Policeman, and said,
"Huh ?"
Repeating his lil' speech, the officer was met with the same
response. Then he said, "Listen pea brain, you ran that Stop
Sign back there, now give me your license before I drag your
sorry butt out of that bucket of bolts and find it myself."
The motorist nodded and reached for his wallet. "Oh. Well
Hell... Sure. Why didn't ya say so in the first place ?"
- - - - -
* The farmer had requested and got signs posted which said "Cattle
Crossing", but still the motorists sped past his ranch at speeds
too great for comfort. Finally, a dramatic improvement was noted
when he posted some signs of his own: "Caution: the steer you
save may be next summer's T-Bone".
- - - - -
* I guess we all like to brag about our home states, but a lot
of Texans over-do it. Once, during a visit to Texas, I listened
politely to an hour discourse on the beauty of this ranch which
seemed more like a desert than an oasis to me.
Thinking to change the subject, I asked the owner what was that
large bird that had just scurried by. He replied, "Why, that's a
Bird of Paradise son."
I said, "Long way from home, ain't it ?"

Subject: Another Side of Hell<suggestive>
The Devil is walking around Hell one day, when he notices a young-looking
soul obviously in distress. He goes over to investigate. "What's wrong?"
the Devil asks. "I'm in Hell, what's RIGHT?" said the pained young man.
"Hey, cheer up, it's not so bad! Hell's gotten a bad rap is all."
"What's so good about it?"
"Well for instance... Do you like women?"
"Of Course, I LOVE women."
"Great! Monday we have millions of women come in, we have sex all day
long, and it doesn't even hurt afterword!"
"Well, that's great!"
"Yeah! Do you like drugs? C'mon...be honest."
"Yeah, I've done a few in my day."
"Well good, because on Tuesday we ship in every kind of drug you could ever
want, and we smoke, shoot, sniff, lick and chew all day long!"
"Excellent!"
"And do you like booze?"
"Of course I do!"
"Well, on Wednesday, we drink until we puke, then we drink somemore, and we
never get hangovers!"
"This is Awesome!"
"Yeah, are you gay?"
"NO!"
"Oh boy, you're gonna HATE Thursdays."

From: Terry Galan <galante@MCMAIL.CIS.MCMASTER.CA>
Subject: The Rules
IF MEN WERE TO REWRITE THE RULES
Rule # 1 - Anything we said six or eight months ago is inadmissible in
an argument. All comments become null and void after seven
days.
Rule # 2 - If you don't want to dress like Victoria's Secret girls,
don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
Rule # 3 - If we say something that can be interpreted in two ways, and
one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other
way.
Rule # 4 - It is in neither your best interest or ours to make us take
those stupid Cosmo quizzes together.
Rule # 5 - Let us ogle. If we don't look at other women how can we know
how pretty you are?
Rule # 6 - Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.
Rule # 7 - You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want
it done - not both.
Rule # 8 - Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
Rule # 9 - Christopher Columbus didn't need directions and neither do
we.
Rule # 10 - Women who wear Wonder bras and low-cut blouses lose their
right to complain about having their boobs stared at.
Rule # 11 - When we're turning the wheel and the car is nosing onto the
off ramp, you saying "This is our exit" is not necessary.
Rule # 12 - Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.

Subject: We all reason about this well at times
Hi folks... Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today.. Six more weeks
of winter.. Happy Happy Joy Joy..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was sent to me. It looks like it came from the Dilbert Zone.
--------
A friend from West Virginia was shopping at the Wal-Mart in
Blacksburg, VA. At the cash register, my friend wrote a check. The
clerk asked for her driver's license. She presented her West Virginia
drivers license and the clerk grabbed it way from her and scoffed at her,
"If you're going to use a fake ID, you could at least use a real state!" A
manager was required to verify West Virginia's statehood.
-----------
A report from a 9th grader:
Our school campus has twenty buildings spread over seventy acres. There
were two soda machines. Recently they added a third. I overheard the
workers arguing where to put the new machine. They decided to put it next
to the other machine because that way people would notice it when buying
drinks. There was one tiny flaw in that plan. The two machines sold the
same drinks, and the new one cost an extra 75 cents.
-----------
When Daylight Saving Time was started on a national basis, I was able to
convince one Induhvidual that she had to get up at 2 a.m. to reset her
clocks. To do otherwise would violate federal law.
-----------
While shopping at the grocery store, I noticed that the tuna packed in
spring water was labelled dolphin safe, but the tuna packed in oil was
not. I mentioned this fact to the cashier and mused out loud, "I wonder
why?"
She replied, "Must be because the oil would suffocate them."
-----------
The instructor was demonstrating the wonders of static electricity to his
class at MIT. While holding a plastic rod in one hand and a wool cloth in
the other, he told the class, "You can see that I get a large charge from
rubbing my rod..."
That was pretty much the end of learning for that day.
-----------
My previous job was with a clothing manufacturer. Every season we would
have presentations on the latest fashions from around the world.
During one of these presentations, our chief designer held up a pair of
jeans that he had purchased in a trendy boutique in London. He told us
that they were from a very exclusive designer and were about 200 pounds
each.
An Induhvidual from the audience piped up, "200 pounds! How can a pair of
jeans weigh that much?!"
-----------
I called my hair salon to tell them I'd be late for an appointment. I
couldn't remember the haircutter's unusual name, so I said, "I think her
name is 'Zora.'"
The receptionist said flatly, "We don't have anybody here by that name."
I said, "Check the appointment book and see who my appointment
is with."
She checked and said, "Oh, your appointment is with 'Zoya.'"
So I'm wondering, how many of the six people working there have four letter
names beginning with Z anyway???
-----------
I worked for a while at a Wal-Mart store, selling sporting goods. As an
employee of Wal-Mart you are sometimes required to make store-wide pages,
e.g.,"I have a customer in hardware who needs assistance at the
paint counter."
One night a tentative female voice came over the intercom system with the
(I kid you not) following message:
"I have a customer by the balls in toys who needs assistance."

Did you know that Hillary Clinton just wrote a new book?
It's titled, "It Takes a Village to Satisfy My Husband"
---------------------------------------------
Did you hear? Gore is only one orgasm away from the presidency.
---------------------------------------------
Q: What were Clinton's fist words to Paula Jones at the deposition?
A: "So now you open your mouth!"
---------------------------------------------
Clinton:
I'm only as old as the woman I feel.
---------------------------------------------
The reason First Lady wears the pants in the house is because
the President can't never keep his on!
---------------------------------------------
Last summer, the President and Mrs. Clinton were vacationing in their
home state of Arkansas. On a venture one day, they stopped at a
service station to fill up their car with gas. It seemed that the
owner of the station was once Hillary's high school love.
They exchanged hellos and then the White House couple went on their way.
As they were driving on to their final destination, Bill put his arm
around Hillary and said, "Well, honey, if you had stayed with him, you
would now be the wife of a service station owner."
She smirked and replied, "No! If I had stayed with him,
HE would be the President of the United States TODAY!"
------------------------------------
Is it true that President Clinton's favorite movie
is "Free Willy"?

Yassar Arafat's advice to President Clinton...
"Goats don't talk"

Subject: Keeping my self pure (adult)
A fellow in a bar notices a woman, always alone, come in on a
fairly regular basis. After the second week, he made his move.
"No thank you." she said politely. "This may sound rather odd
in this day and age, but I'm keeping myself pure until I meet the
man I love."
"That must be rather difficult." the man replied.
"Oh, I don't mind too much." she said. "But, it has my husband
pretty upset."

"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."
"How's it going, Mr. Peterson?"
"Poor."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"No, I mean pour."
"How's life treating you, Norm?"
"Like it caught me sleeping with its wife."
"Women. Can't live with 'em.... pass the beer nuts."
"What's going down, Normie?"

"Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?"
"Alright, but stop me at one....make that one-thirty."
"How's it going, Mr. Peterson?"
"It's a dog eat dog world, Woody & I'm wearing Milk Bone
underwear."
"What's the story, Norm?"
"Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer."
