Subject: General Craziness
* Has anyone noticed how young the new female tennis stars are.
I got an autograph the other day, and she signed it in crayon.
- - - - -
* It's tax time in the US again. I know a Christian Scientist
who took a deduction on his taxes for a speed-reading course
as a medical expense.
- - - - -
* I think I drank too much coffee yesterday while I was working
on our Humor List Archives. At bedtime, I turned the light
switch off and got into bed before the room got dark.
- - - - -
* Hillary appeared on Time Magazine's cover the other week. She
didn't have to sit for a photo session though. They used the
photo they had ready should she have been selected as Time's
"Man of the Year".
- - - - -
* Speaking of Hillary (I was) she's really been upset by people
wondering if she were a Lesbian. Discussing the matter with
her daughter, Chelsea said, "Oh Mother, don't be ridiculous;
just ignore them. Now go shave and ready for dinner."
- - - - -
* Awakened by strange noises, the Yuppette went downstairs
and saw a man in her house. "Don't scream lady. I just want
your money."
"Just like all the other men in Columbia." she snorted.
- - - - -
* Times change. Recently there was a demonstration by a large
number of students at several Howard County high schools in
Columbia. The students were protesting the fact the teachers
got paid, when it was they who did all the work.

Subject: Surprise School Visit
The Father, passing through the son's college town late one night on
a business trip, thought he would pay a surprise visit to the boy.
Arriving at the fraternity house, he knocked on the door. After
several minutes of knocking, a sleepy voice drifted down from a
second floor window.
"Whattya want?"
"Does Jimmy Duncan live here?" asked the father.
"Yeah!", replied the voice. "Dump him on the front porch and
we'll take care of him in the morning."

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU WORK FOR A CORPORATION IN THE 90'S?
You've sat at the same desk for 4 years and worked for three different
companies.
Your company welcome sign is attached with Velcro.
Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.
When someone asks about what you do for a living, you lie.
You get really excited about a 2% pay raise.
Your biggest loss from a system crash is your best e-mail jokes.
Free food left over from meetings is your main staple.
Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job.
You sit in a cubicle smaller than your bedroom closet.
Salaries of the members on the Executive Board are higher than all the
Third World countries' annual budgets combined.
You think lunch is just a meeting outside the building.
It's dark when you drive to and from work.
Communication is something your group is having problems with.
You see a good looking person and know it is a visitor.
Weekends are those days you hear about in songs or see in movies.
Being sick is defined as can't walk or you're in the hospital.
You're already late on the assignment you just got.
When your non-working time never exceeds 20 hours a week.
You work 200 hours for a $100 bonus check and jubilantly say "Oh wow,
thanks!"
Dilbert cartoons hang somewhere in your department.
Your boss' favorite lines are "when you get a few minutes", "in your
spare time", "when you're freed up", and "I have an opportunity for you."
Vacation is something you roll over to next year OR a check you get every
January.
Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with computers".
Nepotism is encouraged.
The only reason you recognize your family is because their pictures are
hanging in your cubicle.
You read this entire list and understood it.

A Texan, trying to impress a Bostonian with tales about the
heroes of the Alamo, said, "I'll bet you never had anyone so
brave around Boston!"
"Ever hear of Paul Revere?" asked the Bostonian.
"Paul Revere?" said the Texan. "Ain't he the guy who ran for
help?"

The white guy put his dick into the water and said, "The water

The black guy then put his dick into the water and said, "The water
is 1.40 meters in depth."

Subject: High Class Pun
We have been beset with waves of sickness for the last month
or so, all variations on the same flu bug which is sweeping the
northeastern US. For the first time in weeks we got out to a
folk concert Saturday evening. The performers were John
Roberts and Tony Barrand. If you ever get the chance to see
and hear them, by all means do!
Among the many stories they told, Barrand related one about
heading into an Upstate New York town in the rain. He was
driving and Roberts held down his usual role of sleeping
co-pilot.
Roberts looked at the rain and thought of how it would
be quite detrimental to their scheduled outdoor concert.
"Oh, stop raining!" he observed out loud.
"You mean abdicate?" Roberts replied, drowsily

Subject: A NO BRAINER(ADULT)
This guy goes for a crap and it just keeps going. He's crapping for 3
hours straight. It just won't stop. He's constantly flushing the toilet.
Finally he gets to the point where, he actually shits his brains right
out.
He has no brains at this point.
He's finally done, he wipes his ass
and
for the first time in his life he puts the seat down. ...

Subject: The Slow Learner (Pun)
That modern icon, Forrest Gump, was intellectually challenged, but
nevertheless worked very hard to maximize his potential, such as it
was. The protagonist of this story, Rosemary, was very similar to
Forrest in many respects. She worked very hard, she studied hard, and
she greatly hated being less smart than the other children. Generally,
this made her work even harder, but at times she became discouraged.
One day she asked her favorite teacher if she really would someday
become smarter if she continued to work very hard. The encouragement
came, ... "You will be partially sage, Rosemary, in time."
