    The body builder takes off his shirt and the blonde says, "What a Great chest you have!"
    He tells her, "That's 100 lbs. of dynamite, Baby."

    He takes off his pants and the blonde says, "What massive calves you have!" The body builder tells her, "That's 100 lbs. of dynamite, Baby."

    He then removes his underwear and the blonde goes running out of the apartment screaming in fear. The body builder puts his clothes back on and chases after her. He catches up to her and asks why she ran out of the apartment like that.

    The blonde replies, "I was afraid to be around all that dynamite after I saw how short the fuse was!"

    A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. He gets in, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank." The passenger asks "Who?"

    The cabbie says "Frank Feldman. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Frank every single time." Passenger: "Yeah. But there are always a few clouds over everybody."

    Cabbie says "Not Frank. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone, danced like a Broadway star, and you should have heard him play the piano." The passenger replies "Sounds like he was something really special"

    Cab driver responds "There's more... he had a mind like a computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out." Passenger: "Wow, some incredible guy"

    The cabbie goes "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me. I always seem to get stuck in them." "Passenger: "Mmm, there's not many like him around."

    Cabbie: "And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. And he's never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too." Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

    Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank." Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"

    Cabbie: "I married his widow..."

    What was the worst troll thread for 2009?? (just wondering)

    Q

    Comments (16)
    I think the soil forum gets it's share of trolls. It's really an easy target I think because those guys get real emotional about their dirt and compost. Not a place for wimps or the weak of heart! That's not a criticism, I like that forum and have followed it for years. There's a troll thread there now, something about frozen soil. Apparently some of his past threads have been pulled but searching the forums reveals a lot of similar posts over a long period of time. A troll is a person with no life and too much time I think.

    Redneck IQ Test From a buddy who grew up in West Virginia. He sent it with the comment, "I am sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people are in the South. I challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam!" --- 1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10 pound possum. 2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard? (A) '65 Ford Fairlane (B) '69 Chevrolet Chevelle, or (C) '64 Pontiac GTO. 3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product? 4. A woodcutter has a chain saw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down? 5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the percentage decrease in the ozone layer? 6.

The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of the 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during the shift? At a reduction in the gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer? --- I betcha thought that there test was gonna be an easy one, didn't ya? It's okay if'n ya didn't do all that well. Just goes to show ya...There's a hole heap of things that big city book-learning don't prepare ya for in this life. As an added bonus for taking the "Redneck IQ Test", here's some southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece: Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place an order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with em.

    Americans With No Abilities Act

    Washington, DC - (Dateline February 26, 2009)
    President Barack Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress are considering sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
    "Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said California Senator Barbara Boxer - Democrat. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing."
    In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi Democrat, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Democrat - pointed to the success of the U..S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack any job skills, making this agency the single largest U.S. employer of Persons of Inability.
    Private-sector industries with good records of non-discrimination against the Inept include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%), and home improvement warehouse stores (65%). At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons of Inability (63%).
    Under AWNAA, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
    Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given so as to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability into middle-management positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
    Finally, the AWNAA contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, "Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?"
    "As a Non-abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them,"said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint , Michigan , due to her inability to remember rightey tightey, lefty loosey."This new law should be real good for people like me," Gertz added. With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
    Said Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat-IL), "As a Senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for doing so."

    A young blonde woman was driving through the Florida Everglades
    while on vacation. She wanted to take home a pair of genuine
    alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the
    high prices the local vendors were asking.

    After becoming very frustrated with the attitude of one of
    the shopkeepers, the young Blonde declared, "Well then, maybe I'll
    just go out and catch my own alligator and get a pair of shoes
    for free!"

    The shopkeeper said with a sly smile, "Well little lady, why don't
    you go on and give it a try?"

    The blonde headed off to the swamp, determined to catch an alligator.

    Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he spots the
    same young woman standing waist-deep in the murky water, shotgun in
    hand. As he brings his car to a stop, he sees a huge 9-foot gator
    swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning reflexes, the Blonde
    takes aim, shoots the creature and hauls it up onto the slippery bank.

    Nearby were 7 more dead gators, all lying belly up.

    The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement.

    The blonde struggles mightily and manages to flip the gator onto
    its back.

    Rolling her eyes heavenward, she screams in frustration, "CRAP !
    THIS ONE'S BAREFOOT, TOO!"

    The Brain Transplant
    In the hospital, the relatives were gathered in the waiting room while a family member lay gravely ill.
    Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and sombre.
    'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said, as he surveyed the worried faces. 'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, and very risky, but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the BRAIN.'
    The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, 'How much will a brain cost?' The doctor responded, '$5,000 for a male brain; $200 for a female brain.'
    The moment turned awkward. Some of the men actually had to 'try' to not smile, avoiding eye contact with the women.
    One man, unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question that everyone wanted to ask, 'Why does a male brain cost so much more than a female brain?'
    The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure.... We have to price the female brains a lot lower because they've been used.'

    A lady walks into the drugstore and asks the pharmacist for some arsenic.

    "Ma'am, what do you want with arsenic?"

    "To kill my husband."

    "I can't sell you arsenic to kill a person!"

    The lady lays down a photo of a man and a woman in a compromising position.

    The man is her husband and the woman is the pharmacist's wife.

    He takes the photo, and nods.

    "I didn't realize you had a prescription!"

    Kitty Bank

    On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In His highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

    This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

    Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that His employer had fallen on hard times and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

    Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totalling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

    She explained that for the more than three decades she had 'charged' him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.

    Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

    That's when she shot him.

    DIFFERENT WAYS OF LOOKING AT THINGS

    Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and values. Stu said, "I didn't sleep with my wife before we got married. Did you?"
    Leroy replied, "I'm not sure, what was her maiden name?"

    A little boy went up to his father and asked: "Dad, where did all of my intelligence come from?"
    The father replied. "Well, son, you must have got it from your mother, 'cause I still have mine."

    "Mr Clark, I have reviewed this case very carefully," the divorce Court Judge said, "And I've decided to give your wife $775 a week,"
    "That's very fair, your honor," the husband said. "And every now and then, I'll
    try to send her a few bucks myself."

    A doctor examined a woman, took the husband aside, and said, "I don't like the looks of your wife at all."
    "Me neither doc," said the husband. "But she's a great cook and really good with the kids."

    An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years.
    The Wizard says, "Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you". The old man says without hesitation, "I now pronounce you man and wife."

    Two Reasons Why It's So Hard To Solve A Redneck Murder
    1. All the DNA is the same ...
    2. There are no dental records.

    A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, "Can you tell me how long it'll take to fly from San Francisco to New York City ?"
    The agent replies, "Just a minute.." "Thank you," the blonde says, and hangs up.

    Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez.
    "How was he killed?" asked one detective.
    "With a golf gun," the other detective replied.
    "A golf gun? What is a golf gun?"
    "I don't know. But it sure made a hole in Juan."

    Moe: "My wife got me to believe in religion."
    Joe : "Really?"
    Moe: "Yeah. Until I married her I didn't believe in Hell."

    A man is recovering from surgery when a nurse asks him how he is feeling. "I'm O. K., but I didn't like the four-letter word the doctor used in surgery," he answered.
    "What did he say," asked the nurse.

    "OOPS"

    While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had even considered buying a bathing suit, so I sought my husband's advice.
    "What do you think?" I asked. "Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?"
    "Better get a bikini," he replied. "You'd never get it all in one."
    He's still in intensive care.

    Subject: Hillbilly Vasectomy

    After their 11th child, a hillbilly couple decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed.

    So the husband went to his veterinarian and told him that he and his cousin didn't want to have any more children.

    The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it was expensive. 'A less costly alternative,' said the doctor, 'is to go home, get a cherry bomb, (fireworks are legal in hillbilly country) light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to your ear and count to 10.'

    The hillbilly said to the doctor, 'I may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me..'

    'Trust me,' said the doctor.

    So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count!

    '1'

    '2'

    '3'

    '4'

    '5'

    At which point, he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and continued counting on his other hand.

    This procedure works in Tennessee , Kentucky , Louisiana , Arkansas , Mississippi , Alabama , Georgia , Florida , West Virginia ....and Washington DC .

    One evening a Husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in 'Slim Fast'. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!'

    His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded.

    The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. 'What the Hell is this?' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out.

    'April', he hollered into the bathroom, 'Why did you put Talcum Powder in my underwear?'

    She replied, 'It's not talcum powder; it's Miracle Grow'

    A man walks into a bar with an ostrich behind him. The bartender asks for his order, and the man says, "I'll have a beer," and turns to the ostrich. "What's yours?"

    "I'll have a beer, too," says the ostrich.

    The bartender pours the beer and says, "That will be $3.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out exact change for payment.

    The next day, the man and the ostrich come again, and both order a beer. Once again, the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

    This becomes a routine until, late one evening, the two enter again and the bartender asks, "The usual?"

    "Well, it's close to last call, so I'll have a large scotch," says the man.

    "Same for me," says the ostrich.

    "That will be $7.20," says the bartender.

    Once again, the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the bar. The bartender can't hold back his curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?"

    Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic, and I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a genie appeared and offered me two wishes.

    My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I just put my hand in my pocket, and the right amount of money will always be there."

    "That's brilliant!" says the bartender. "Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!

    "That's right! Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man.

    The bartender asks, "One other thing, sir; what's with the ostrich?"

    The man replies, "My second wish was for a chick with long legs."

    Three old ladies were sitting side by side in their retirement home in Ft. Lauderdale, reminiscing.

    The first lady recalled shopping at the green grocers and demonstrated with her hands,
    the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.

    The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and cheaper too,
    and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for a penny apiece.

    The third old lady remarked, "I can't hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy
    you're talking about.."

    ********************************
    A little old lady was sitting on a park bench in The Villages, a Florida Adult community.

    A man walks over and sits down on the other end of the bench.
    After a few moments, the woman asks, "Are you a stranger here?"

    He replies, "I lived here years ago."

    "So, where were you all these years?"
    "In prison," he says.

    "Why did they put you in prison?"
    He looks at her, and very quietly says, "I killed my wife."

    "Oh!" said the woman, sliding down the bench to be closer to him, "So you're single...?"

    ********************************
    Two elderly people living in Ft. Myers, he was a widower and she a widow,
    had known each other for a number of years. One evening there was a community
    supper in the big arena in the Clubhouse. The two were at the same table, seated
    across from one another. As the meal progressed, he took a few admiring glances
    at her and finally gathered the courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"

    After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes.. Yes, I will!"

    The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they went to their
    respective places. Next morning, he was troubled. Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?
    He couldn't remember. Try as he might, he just could not recall. Not even a faint memory.

    With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her. First, he explained that he
    didn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past.
    As he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you would marry me,
    did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"

    He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I meant it with all my
    heart." Then she continued, "And I'm so glad you called, because I couldn't remember
    who had asked me."

    ********************************
    A man was telling his neighbor in Miami , "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me
    four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."

    "Really," answered the neighbor, "What kind is it?"

    "Twelve thirty."

    ******************************
    Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to his doctor in Estero to get a physical.

    A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young
    woman on his arm.
    After a couple of days, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great,
    aren't you?"

    "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma' and 'be cheerful'," Morris replied.

    To which the doctor replied, "I didn't say that, Morris. I sa id, 'You've got a heart murmur,
    be careful!'"

    ********************************
    A little old man shuffled slowly into the 'Orange Dipper,' an ice cream parlor in Naples ,
    and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath he ordered
    a banana split.

    The waitress asked kindly, " Crushed nuts?"

    "No," he replied, "hemorrhoids."

    So there's this man with a parrot. And his parrot swears like a sailor, I mean he's a pistol.
    He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself.

    The trouble is that the guy who owns the parrot is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy.

    One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells,
    "QUIT IT!" But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever.

    Then the guy gets mad and says, "That's it. I'll get you." and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet.

    This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of invective that would make a veteran sailor blush.

    At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer.

    For the first few seconds, there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws and thrashes. Then it suddenly goes very quiet.

    At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that he opens up the freezer door.

    The bird calmly climbs onto the man's outstretched arm and says, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."

    The man is astounded. He can't understand the transformation that has come over the parrot.

    Then the parrot says, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"

    A little boy wanted $100 to buy a new bike, and his mother told him to pray to God for it. He prayed and prayed for two weeks, but nothing turned up. Then he decided perhaps he should write God a letter requesting the $100.00.
    When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they opened it up and decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a check for $5.00. He thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank-you letter to God, which read:
    Dear God;
    Thank you very much for the money. I noticed that you had to send it through Washington. As usual, they deducted $95.00 for themselves.
    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    The bartender asks the guy sitting at the bar, "Whatll you have?" The guy answers, "A scotch, please."
    The bartender hands him the drink, and says, "Thatll be five dollars," to which the guy replies, "What are you talking about? I dont owe you anything for this."
    A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, then says to the bartender, "You know, hes got you there. In the original offer, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration."
    The bartender was not impressed, but says to the guy, "Okay, you beat me for a drink. But dont ever let me catch you in here again."
    The next day, same guy walks into the bar. Bartender says, "What the heck are you doing in here? I cant believe youve got the audacity to come back!"
    The guy says, "What are you talking about? Ive never been in this place in my life!" The bartender replies, "Im very sorry, but this is uncanny. You must have a double."
    To which the guy replies, "Thank you. Make it a scotch.".

    A contestant, Sally, on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' had reached the final plateau.
    If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000 milestone money.
    And as she suspected, the Million Dollar Question was no pushover
    It was, 'Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it:
    A) the condor
    B) the buzzard
    C) the cuckoo
    D) the vulture
    The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer
    She had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline
    She hoped she would not have to use it because........ Her friend was, well, a blonde.
    But she had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices. The blonde responded unhesitatingly:
    'That's easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo..
    The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast.
    She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer except the one that her friend had given her
    And considering her friend was a blonde that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be convinced.
    Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, 'C: The cuckoo.'
    'Is that your final answer?'
    'Yes, that is my final answer.'
    'That answer is Absolutely correct!
    You are now a millionaire!'
    Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million dollars.
    'Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you, ' said the contestant. 'How did you happen to know the right answer?'
    'Oh, come on,' said the blonde 'Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests. They live in clocks.'
    Sally fainted

    The Modern British Empire

    Noted in the book The Element:

    - - -

    Nowadays, being British means...

    Driving home in a German car,

    but stopping off to pick up some Belgian beer,

    and a Turkish kebab or an Indian takeaway,

    to spend the evening on Swedish furniture,

    watching American programs,

    on a Japanese TV.

    And the most British thing of all?

    Suspicion of anything foreign.

    Cat Romance

    A tom cat and a tabby were courting on a back fence one night.

    The tom leaned over to the tabby with pent up passion and purred, "Id die for you!"

    The tabby gazed at him from under lowered eye lids and asked, "How many times?"
    ........................................................................
    Under the Bed

    Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone being under my bed at night.
    So, one day I went to a psychologist and told him.

    "I've got problems, doc. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody
    under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.."

    "Just put yourself in my hands for one year", said he."Come
    talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of
    those fears.."

    "How much do you charge?" "Eighty dollars per visit", replied the
    doctor. "I'll sleep on it." I said.

    Six months later the doctor met me on the street.

    "Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?" he asked.

    "Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful
    lot of money! Heck, a bartender cured me for $10." I was so happy to have saved
    all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!"

    "Is that so?" With a bit of an attitude he said,
    "and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?"

    "He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!"

    A jeweler watched as a huge truck pulled up in front of his store. The back came down and an elephant walked out. It broke one of the windows with its tusk and then, using its trunk like a vacuum cleaner sucked up all of the jewelry.

    The elephant then got back in the truck and it disappeared out of sight.

    When the jeweler finally regained his senses he called the police. The detectives came and he told them his story.

    "Could you describe the elephant?" the cop asked.

    "An elephant is an elephant," he replied. "You've seen one you've seen them all. What do you mean 'describe' him?"

    "Well," said the policeman, "there are two types of elephants, African and Indian. The Indian elephant has smaller ears and is not as large as the African elephant."

    "I can't help you out," said the frustrated jeweler, "he had a stocking pulled over his head."

    German scientists dug 50 meters down in the underground and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nation-wide telephone network.

    The Russian government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down they found small pieces of glass. They soon announced that 35,000 years ago, the ancient Russians already had a nationwide fiber net.

    American scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters down in the underground, but found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the ancient Americans 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.

    "Okay," the sheriff began, "Todd, what is 1 and 1?"

    "Eleven," he replied.

    The sheriff thought, "That's not what I meant, but he's right."

    "What two days of the week start with the letter T?"

    "Today and tomorrow."

    The sheriff was again surprised that Todd had supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.

    "Now, Todd, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"

    Todd looked a little surprised, thought really hard for a minute, and finally admitted, "I don't know."

    "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?"

    So Todd wandered over to the barbershop, where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview.

    Todd was exultant: "It went great! First day on the job, and I'm already working on a murder case!"

    "There are quite a lot of advantages to being a bachelor," he began, "but there comes a time when one longs for the companionship of another beinga being who will regard one as perfect, as an idol; whom one can treat as one's absolute own; who will be kind and faithful when times are hard; who will share one's joys and sorrows."
    To his delight he saw a sympathetic gleam in her eyes. Then she nodded in agreement.
    Finally, she responded, "I think its a great idea! Can I help you choose which puppy to buy?"

    "Can we make a quick stop?" He asked.

    "Sure," I replied, "what did you need to do?"

    "I need to stop by the auto parts place to get a longer dipstick."

    "What do you need a longer one for?" I inquired.

    CASH FOR CLUNKERS..........I QUALIFY

    IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...

    If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish, and my paint job is getting a little dull. But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus, and it's especially hard to see things up close.

    My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

    My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

    But here's the worst of it --


    Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

    CASH FOR CLUNKERS..........I QUALIFY - How about You?

    With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of false teeth. "Try these," he said.

    The speaker tried them. "Too loose," he said.

    The man then said, "I have another pair... try these."

    The speaker tried them and responded, "Too tight."

    An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they'd shared, where Andy had carved "I love you, Sally."

    On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up, but not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money -- fifty-thousand dollars!!!

    Andy said, "We've got to give it back."

    Sally said, "Finders keepers." So, she put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.

    The next day, two FBI men were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on the door.

    "Pardon me, but did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"

    Sally said, "No."

    Andy said, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."

    Sally said, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."

    The agents turn to Andy and began to question him. One says: "Tell us the story from the beginning"

    Andy said, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday . . "

    The first FBI guy turns to his partner and says, "We're outta here."

    A hungry lion was roaming through the jungle looking for something to eat. He came across two men. One was sitting under a tree and reading a book the other was typing away on his typewriter.

    The lion quickly pounced on the man reading the book and devoured him.

    Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest and writers cramp.

    This one was inevitable.

    And sure enough, it has starting going around, forwarded by gullible friends who "mean well".

    Usually, it says it's a warning from the Health Department.

    Or the Centers for Disease Control.

    The warning:

    Don't eat canned pork, because...

    (yep!)

    you might get H1N1 -- Swine Flu.

    But it's not true. A total lie.

    That's right...

    ...it's just Spam.

    Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour. These are claimed to be actual maintenance complaints submitted by pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.

    (P = The problem logged by the pilot.)
    (S = The solution and action taken by mechanics.)

    P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
    S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

    An airline pilot wrote that on a particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy that required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, give a smile, and a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline."

    He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off the plane except this little old lady walking with a cane.

    She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?"

    "Why, no, ma'am. What is it?"

    "Did we land, or were we shot down?"

    This guy, Artie, gets tired of working so hard and not getting anywhere, and seeing all these guys in the Mafia in their fine three piece suits and fancy cars, decides that he has to join the Mafia.

    He goes up to one of the guys and says, "I want to join the Mafia."

    The guy answers, "You ever kill any one for money?"

    "No." Artie answers.

    The guy says, " Well, you either got to be born into the mafia, or you gotta kill somebody for money."

    So Artie says, " How much will you pay me?"

    "I'm not gonna pay you." the guy says.

    Artie says, " C'mon, just pay me a dollar so I can get in."

    The guy says, "Okay, I'll tell you what. You kill somebody, tell me about it, and if I see it in the morning paper, I'll pay you a dollar."

    "Oh thank you, thank you!" Artie replies and heads off on his mission. He goes to Ralphs Supermarket, sees an old lady pushing a cart, and decides that she's lived a full life, goes up to her, grabs her round the neck and chokes her to death. The bag boy sees it, and chases after him. Artie realizes that he can't out run the bag boy, turns around, grabs the bag boy by the neck and chokes him to death.

    In the morning paper the headlines read, " ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A DOLLAR AT RALPHS!"

    Keith called his golfing partner to withdraw from their Tuesday night golf league.

    His partner inquired why after many years would he resign.

    "My wife and I are taking Russian lessons. The only available evening for both of us is Tuesday," Keith told him.

    "Does this have anything to do with the little Russian baby you both have just adopted?" replied his partner.

    "Yes it most certainly does," Keith replied, "We want to do everything right for this child and afford it every opportunity. So we're learning to speak Russian so when the child starts to talk we will understand what it says."

    Roll Over, Beethoven

    When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it.

    The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.

    When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."

    He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."

    Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."

    Now That's A Bad Joke!

    A couple decide to go for a meal on their anniversary and after some deliberation decide on their local Chinese restaurant.

    They peruse the menu and finally agree to share the chef's special, "Chicken Surprise."

    The waiter brings over the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to start in on the meal, the lid of the pot rises a tiny amount and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.

    "Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband. He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot.

    He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two beady little eyes looking around again before it firmly slams back down.

    Rather perturbed he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening and demands an explanation.

    "Well sir," says the waiter, "what did you order?"

    "We both chose the same," he replies, "the Chicken Surprise."

    "Oh I do apologize, this is my fault," says the waiter...

    "I've brought you the Peking Duck."

    Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure.

    The agent had had a good week and the dejected couple looking in the window gave him a rare feeling of generosity. He called them into his shop and said, "I know that on your pension you could never hope to have a holiday, so I am sending you off to a fabulous resort at my expense, and I won't take no for an answer."
    He took them inside and asked his secretary to write two flight tickets and book a room in a five star hotel. Every time the couple tried to say something, the travel agent hushed them and said no thanks was necessary. He just wanted to do something nice for them.
    About a month later the little lady came in to his shop. "And how did you like your holiday?" he asked eagerly.
    "The flight was exciting and the room was lovely," she said. "I've come to thank you. But, one thing puzzled me. Who was that old guy I had to share the room with?"
