Subject: April Fool's Day <some adult humor>
April Fool's Day (April 1st) is traditionally the day where
people play pranks on others. Although most Americans think
the day is a US tradition, it began in France in 1564 and
spread to England in the 1600's.

* Mrs JimJr gets her kicks in too from time to time. Away for
a two week seminar, I called her, and after she said "Hello",
I said, "I wish I were there now. I'd tear all your clothes
off, embrace you madly and then make passionate love."
There was a pause, and then she said, "Who is this ???"

* A Yuppie rushed into the Columbia Pharmacy and frantically
said, "Quick Doc -- I've swallowed some herbicide and must
have an antidote."
The pharmacist, thinking a prank was being played on him,
replied, "You've come to the right place. It seems there was
an Irishman, a Priest and a Rabbi..."

* I will confess to being somewhat of a prankster, just to
watch the reaction from my victim. For reasons of their own
my GrandChildren wanted a cat. I saw an ad for a "Free to
good home Persian."
The woman began extolling the bloodline, virtues, training,
etc., when I interrupted with: "Never mind all that lady --
is he tender ?"

* The Navy always tries to discourage "sick call" to keep
the sailors on duty. Two Corpsmen were standing around when
a new Seamen entered Sick Bay. The sailor asked if the ship's
doctor was any good.
"Good ?" said one Corpsman. "He doesn't fool around at all.
A guy came in with cramps and the doc cut off his foot."
"And remember the guy with erysipelas ?" asked the second
Corpsman. "The doc lobbed off his right ear."
The sailor, turned a pale shade of green and said, "I'll be
back later. I've just got a mild case of jock rash."

Subject: Bob's New Membership (adult)
Bob joins a very exclusive nudist colony. On his first day he takes off
his clothes and starts wandering around. A gorgeous petite blonde walks
by him and the man immediately gets an erection. The woman notices his
erection, comes over to him grinning sweetly and says: "Sir, did you call
for me?" Bob replies "No, what do you mean?" She says, "You must be new
here; let me explain. It's a rule here that if I give you an erection, it
implies you called for me." Smiling, she then leads him to the side of a
pool, lays down on a towel, eagerly pulls him to her and happily lets him
have his way with her.
Bob continues exploring the facilities. He enters a sauna, sits down and
farts. Within a few moments a huge, horribly corpulent, hairy man with a
firm erection lumbers out of the steam towards him. The Huge Man says,
"Sir, did you call for me? "Bob replies "No, what do you mean?" "You
must be new here, it is a rule that when you fart, it implies you called
for me." The huge man then easily spins Bob around, bends him over the
bench and sodomizes him.
Bob rushes back to the colony office. He is greeted by the smiling naked
receptionist: "May I help you?". Bob says, "Here is your card and key
back. You can keep the $500 joining fee."
"But Sir, you've only been here a couple of hours; you only saw a
smallfraction of our facilities." Bob replies, "Listen lady, I am 58
years old, I get a hard-on about once a month but I fart 15 times a day.
No thanks!"

Subject: Happy Easter <blasphemy!>
Yesterday I passed a sign for a store selling "Easter Barbie" dolls.
I started to wonder just what an Easter Barbie could be. Barbie in
a bunny suit? No, that's the somewhat redundant "Playboy Barbie."
Then it dawned on me....
Easter Barbie means when you open the box, Barbie's gone!
-----------------------------
Happy Easter, everyone; I'm outa here for a long weekend.
Don't worry, though - after three days, I'll rise again.... DOH!!!

clear and you will become wise! Try it. It works!!

Subject: Passover
HAGGADAH HAVE HEART
by Marty Goldensohn
This year, we're doing Gotham Passover again. Have you heard about this?
Very urban and idealistic.
The table is set with matzoh, grits, goat cheese, flan, turkey, wasabi,
and other traditional foods. At our house, Uncle Red leads the service.
"Who knows the ten plagues of Gotham by heart?" asks Uncle Red.
"I do," answers nephew Sasha. "Alternate-side-of-the-street parking,
roaches, landlords, crack, handguns, homelessness, teen pregnancy, HIV,
and 60 kids to a classroom."
"That's only nine plagues," Mom points out.
"De-funding the third-born welfare child," adds my sister Ellen.
"That's right," says Uncle Red. "And how come we eat matzoh?"
It is little Rosie's turn to answer.
"We eat the flat unleavened bread," she says, "to remind us of the flight
of the middle class from the city. When the tax base failed to rise, the
infrastructure crumbled like dry crackers."
The proud relatives clap for Rosie, who has studied her Gotham Haggadah
so well.
"And why do we eat these bitter herbs?" Uncle Red asks.
Cousin Merle has the answer.
"We partake of the wasabi, the green Japanese horseradish," she says, "to
remind us of the bitterness of deindustrialization, which our ancestors
blamed on Toyota."
"Yes, that was before the Chrysler Minivan," adds Uncle Red. "Also, the
wasabi recalls Bush the Education Pharoah, who threw up his sushi during
a foreign trade mission, worsening the balance of payments."
"Why grits with goat cheese?" asks Uncle Milton.
"Grits mixed with goat cheese reminds us of the terrible estrangement
between the races, which leaves a bad taste in our mouths," answers
Cousin Julia.
"Yeah, why can't we all just get along?" asks Cousin Steve.
"That's not one of the ten questions," snaps Aunt Mathilde.
"I know that," says Steve. "It's Rodney King."
"Well, pipe down and tell us: Why on this night does Uncle Louis recline
in the Baralounger?" says Uncle Red.
"Because he's 89 years old," says Steve.
"No," Uncle Red corrects him, "it's to remind us of the homeless who never
have a comfortable place to sit."
"And why do we eat flan for dessert?" asks Mom.
"This custard," Louis answers, "reminds us of the sweetness of the 1996
World Series in the Bronx, when the hardships of everyday life melted
away."
"And why do we eat turkey rather than steak or duck?" asks my Dad.
"Because," says Mom, "Turkey is still 69 cents a pound, and there are 42
of us here. Who are we, Donald Trump?"

Subject: Glib comments & questions about contemporary life
I have what no millionaire has: no money!
I think Jerry Springer has been moonlighting as a mediator for the
Balkans.
To my husband's mistress: I am the one who will get dressed up on
Sunday and go visit the five kids. Think about it.
I'll admit that the last fight I had with my wife was my fault. She
asked me what was on the television, and I said dust.
Do you sometimes get the impression that your primary care physician
is really just a super salesman for his favorite pharmaceutical
company?
This is a telemarketer and I'm calling to say we keep calling until
you buy or until you die.
When I speak to a telemarketer I tell them my lawyer has advised me
not to buy anything until my bankruptcy case is settled. They don't
call back.
Rich people trouble: "Honey, do we tell others that we own two Lexuses
or two Lexi?"
I fell like I'm parking diagonally in a parallel universe.
Today, I got a mailing from an "intellectual" New York City
publication appealing to me to subscribe. "Think for yourself," the
publisher wrote. "Just send in our card." I thought for myself; I
threw the card away.
My daugher is a `90s kind of gal: She faxes me to say she just sent me
an e-mail. Then she calls to make sure I got the fax.
I see the State Legislature got its raise and my grandchildren are
still going to school in trailers.
Next year I'm going to winterize my lawnmower properly.

Subject: Testing in Heaven (off. to Hindus, Christians and groundhogs)
To be spoken in an East Indian accent.
Three Hindus had died and they decided to go to the Christian heaven and
see if it is what it's all cracked up to be. On arrival they where greeted
by St. Peter at the gates. St. Peter upon seeing these soles wasn't sure if
they were indeed true Christians. He asked them and they replied that they
are true to the Christian faith. Upon further examinations of his registry,
St. Peter couldn't fine them anywhere in his logs. To make things easier
for all, St. Peter suggested that he would give them a test to see if they
were Christians. He then took the first one aside and asked him what Easter
meant to him.
"Easter is a very important holiday, everyone dresses in a scary costume
and go to house to house and scare the occupants into giving up some food
stuff, usually candy and apples." Poof! And he was sent to Hindu heaven.
St. Peter then took the second one aside and asked: "what does Easter mean
to you?" The second one replied: "Easter is a very important Christian
holiday. It is celebrated by decorating one's dwelling with brightly
coloured lights to entice the landing of a jolly fat elf in his sled pulled
by eight tiny reindeer to leave gifts under a tree". Poof! And the Hindu
was sent to his own heaven.
To the third he asked him the same question. "Easter is a most important of
all the Christian holidays; it celebrates the crucifixion of a man for
teaching peace and brotherhood. He dies on the cross and is buried and on
the third day he arose and if he should see his shadow we all can expect
six more weeks of inclement weather. *Poof*

Subject: The English Rider (Pun)
In the late 1800?s, not wanting to be outdone by American rodeo, an
English fellow decided to become a Rodeo star. Not having a horse, or
any cattle, he cast about for some way to perform. His vocation was
building outhouses, and he had several samples behind his house. He
had also installed a couple of standing gas lamps in his yard.
As a start, he decided that lassoing these objects would be good
practice. After all, he reasoned, they may not be moving targets, but
at least he could get the hang of the rope.
Now he needed a mount. Not having a horse, he thought a bicycle would
be a good substitute, and so he grabbed a coil of rope, hopped on his
bicycle and off he went. He was phenomenally successful, and quickly
got the hang of it.
Each day a friend of his would stop by to watch and give
encouragement. Upon showing up one day, after the Englishman had been
practicing for a couple of weeks, the friend noticed that the
Englishman had taken to riding with no hands, and whirling two lassoes
at the same time. The Englishman proceed to lasso an outhouse, then
immediately followed with a perfect throw over one of the lamps, all
the while singing out, . . . "Here we go loop the loo, here we go loop
the light!" (By Clynch Varnadore)
