Subject: Oriental Rejection Line? <adult>
A man walks into a brothel and approaches a beautiful Oriental
courtesan. "Is it true Asian women have vaginas that run sideways?"
asked the man. "Why?" responded she. "Are you a harmonica player?"

Subject: Chess Set
A man bought a chess set and took it home. Upon opening the game he
discovered that all the major pieces were missing. He called the store
to complain and was told he got what he paid for because he had bought
it ... in a pawn shop.

Subject: Small Town USA <some innuendo>
The US is full of small towns. For those never having traveled
to or lived in one, the following will illustrate pretty much
what life's like there.
My hometown was so small...
* the clinic was called Joe's Hospital and Grill
* long distance calls are delayed when the area code is busy
* the town Lady of the Evening stands under a flashlight
* in order to paint traffic lines, the road had to be widened
* instead of hoses, the Fire Department uses water pistols
* you had to make a reservation to use the parking meter
* during snowstorms, salt was spread using a salad shooter
* the local Motel 6 sleeps six
* during a boxing match, both men have to sit in the same corner
* the class valedictorian had both the highest & lowest averages
* the Mayor was also the Sheriff, Town Council & street sweeper
* we had no porn movie house; once a week someone left the shades up
* the municipal water system's pump was supplied by Water Pik
* before you visited, you could look out a window & see who was home
* there was no town idiot -- everybody had to take turns

Subject: The preacher
HORSE RACING
A preacher wanted to earn money for his church. He had heard there was
big money in horse racing, so he decided to purchase a horse and enter it
in a race. However, at the local auction, the going price for horses was
too steep, so the preacher ended up buying a donkey. The preacher figured
since he had the donkey, he might as well enter it in the races. (After
all, faith can move mountains). The next day the donkey came in third
place. The following day in the racing form, the headline appeared:
PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS
The preacher was so pleased with the donkey, he entered it in the next
day's race. This time the donkey won. The racing form read:
PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT
The ranking Bishop was so upset with this type of publicity that he
ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in anymore races. The
headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS
This was too much for the Bishop and he ordered the preacher to get rid of
the donkey. The preacher decided to give the animal to a convent. The
following day the paper read: NUNS HAVE BEST ASS IN TOWN The Bishop
fainted. He informed the Nuns to get rid of the animal so they sold it to
a farmer for $10. The next day the headline read:
NUNS PEDDLE ASS FOR TEN BUCKS
They buried the Bishop the next day. The following day's headline read:
TOO MUCH ASS RESPONSIBLE FOR BISHOP'S DEATH

Subject: Is your computer male or female?
As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female
(e.g., "Steady as she goes" or "She's listing to starboard Captain!").
Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that
computers should also be referred to as being female. Their reasons for
drawing this conclusion follow:
Five reasons to believe computers are female:
1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If
you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to
tell you."
4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later
retrieval;
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.
However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that
computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons
follow:
Five reasons to believe computers are male:
1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless;
2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
are the problem;
3. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a
little longer, you could have obtained a better model;
4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on;
5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

Subject: India and Pakistan Humor
The reason that Pakistan took a few weeks longer than India
in getting the nuclear testing was due to the delays on getting
Windows 98 installed. India, face with same problem, used a
Macintosh instead. U.S. intelligence officials, speaking under
conditions of anonymity, told UGAH that the India tests were
performed quicker than the Pakistan tests.
----------------
A US Congress committee held an emergency meeting last week to find out
why the CIA wasn't able to warn of the India nuclear testing.
A senior intelligence officer told the committee that they were busy
trying to gather intelligence about Microsoft. This prompted one
committee member to suggest that there is some sort Microsoft
conspiracy. Microsoft Chairman and CEO Bill Gates was unavailable
for comment as he was on vacation in Dallas Texas.
----------------
Now that India and Pakistan has joined the Nuclear arms race, existing
Nuclear powers are trying to get them to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty. One advantage of signing it, according to sources close to the secretly
held document, is the bug fix for the year 2000.
"Without the fix the Nuclear capabilities are useless after January 1, 2000"

Subject: The Doberman and the Puppy
The Doberman and the Puppy
A highly timid little man, Casper Milquetoast, ventured into a biker
bar in the Bronx and clearing his throat asked, "Um, err, which of you
gentlemen owns the Doberman tied outside to the parking meter?"
A giant of a man, wearing biker leathers, his body hair growing out
through the seams, turned slowly on his stool, looked down at the
quivering little man and said, "It's my dog. Why?"
"Well," squeaked the little man, obviously very nervous, "I believe my
dog just killed it, sir."
"What?" roared the big man in disbelief. "What in the hell kind of dog
do you have?"
"Sir," answered the little man, "It's a four week old puppy."
"Bull!" roared the biker, "How could your puppy kill my Doberman?"
"It appears that he choked on it, sir."

Subject: Nautical Rules
NAUTICAL RULES
In the Nautical Rules of the Road class at Massachusetts Maritime
Academy, the instructor would quiz us with such questions as, "When
entering harbor at night you see three vertical lights -- red, white,
red. What is it?" Correct answers guaranteed weekend liberty was not
withheld.
One of the class asked the instructor the question, "When entering
harbor at night you see four vertical lights -- red, white, red, red.
What is it?" There being no such configuration in the Rules, the
instructor, responded he didn't know.
"It's a whore house with a virgin on the third floor."
This cost my classmate a weekend liberty restriction.

Subject: Sex Change For Men <adult>
There was a man who wanted to get a sex change, so finally he got it. His
friends walked up to him after the sex change procedures and asked, "So
how was it? Did it hurt?" So the ex-man replied, "To be honest with you
guys: When they chopped my cock off it didn't hurt, when they drilled a
hole for a pussy it didn't hurt, but what really hurt me was
WHEN THEY DRILLED A HOLE IN MY HEAD AND TOOK 3/4th OF MY BRAINS OUT!"
