Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Jack the Sailor Date: 31 Aug 01 - 04:00 PM Big John -------- One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops. A few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back. Did I mention that the driver was five three, thin, and basically meek? Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened. Big John got on again, made a big show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed "AND WHY NOT?!?!" With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass." |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Gloredhel Date: 31 Aug 01 - 04:51 PM A theif jimmies the lock of the back door of a house and opens the door a crack. A voice says "Jesus is watching you." He gets scared and leaves. Two days later he tries again. He gets a few steps into the room when the voice says again, "Jesus is watching you." He quickly leaves. The theif decides to try one more time. This time, absolutely sure that no one is home, he turns on the lights. A parrot on a perch in the corner of the room says, "Jesus is watching you." The theif starts to laugh, but hears a low growl behind him. He turns to see a large pitbull eyeing him. The parrot says "Sick'em, Jesus!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Deda Date: 31 Aug 01 - 06:06 PM Five Cannibals get appointed as engineers in a Defense Department Organization. During the welcoming ceremony the boss says: "You're all part of our team now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat. So don't trouble the other employees". The cannibals promise not to trouble the other employees. Four weeks later the boss returns and says: "You're all working very hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. One of our cleaners has disappeared, however. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The cannibals disavowed all knowledge of the missing cleaner. After the boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others: "Which of you idiots ate the cleaning lady?" A hand raises hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals says: "You fool! For four weeks we've been eating Team Leaders, Division Chiefs and Project Managers so no-one would notice anything, and you have to go and eat the cleaning lady!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Gareth Date: 31 Aug 01 - 06:19 PM Then there was this missionary, in Darkest Africa, trying to convert the Ungodley. He had taken years to convince the tribes as to how they should fear God and respect the elderly. One day his home chapel in South Wales decided to ask him what it was that he needed to spread the Word. And after many months a reply came back " A bicycle - it would make life so more efficient" So a collection was held and and a bicycle paid for and sent to the mission station. The Missionary was very pleased with his new bike, and cycled into the bush to reach his most far away tribe of canibals.
As he reached the village, a messenger ran to the cannibal chief. "Ah Chief, you remember how Missionary Jones kept telling us how the Welsh looked after the elderly ?". Gareth For the benefit of the Cousins "Meals on Wheels" is the generetic term for Social Services delivering cooked meals to the elderly or infirm at home,

The man didn't know what to do. So he went to the rabbi. "Rabbi, I had a good Jewish son, but now he says he's a Christian. What am I going to do?" The rabbi says, "I had a good Jewish son, too, and he became a Christian. I don't know what to do, but let us pray." So they both went into the synagogue and prayed, asking, "God, we had good Jewish sons, but they are Christians now. What should we do?" The earthe began to shake, lightning flashed, and God said, "I had a good Jewish son...." |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Gloredhel Date: 02 Sep 01 - 08:12 PM Mruphy goes out to the pub every night. One evening, Mrs. Murphy complained and asked him if he wouldn't spent just one evening with her. "Alright," says Murphy,"If you want to spend an evenin' together, you come to the pub with me." So she went to the pub with him, but since she didn't drink, she didn't know what to order. Murphy ordered a pint o' Guinness, so she asked for just a small glass of the same. Murphy took a big swig from his pint, and Mrs. Murphy took a small sip, but promptly spit it out. "Jay-sus, this is terrible stuff, Murphy! And you come here every night to drink it?" says she. "And all this time you thought I was enjoyin' meself," says he. |

Pointing to it, he says, "Can you see the tear in it?" "Aye, I can," replies the pharmacist. "Can it be repaired?" "Aye," says the pharmacist. "How much to repair it, then?" asks the soldier. "One shilling." "How much to replace it?" "Two shillings," is the reply. "Thank you very much," says the soldier, and he puts the condom away and leaves. The next day the soldier returns. "May I help you?" says the pharmacist. "Aye, you can," replies the soldier. "The regiment has voted to have it repaired." |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Amos Date: 14 Nov 01 - 06:33 PM Recent notes on Human Logical Capabilities: Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant a lot like making a peeing section in a swimming pool? OK...so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags", and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs," what does that make the Tennessee Titans? If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...... does that mean that 1 out of 5 actually enjoys it? The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 326 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean God doesn't love heterosexuals. He just thinks they need more supervision. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? Why do we say something is out of whack? What's a "whack"? If a pig loses its voice, is it "disgruntled"? Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to begin with. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts", and you "put your two cents in", what happens to the other penny? Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money called a "broker"? When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say? Why isn't 11 pronounced "onety-one"? If lawyers are "disbarred" and clergymen "defrocked", doesn't it follow that electricians can be "delighted", and musicians can be "denoted"? If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks? Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? \Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps, so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail? If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for? Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts. Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things? |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: katlaughing Date: 14 Nov 01 - 10:05 PM Thanks to Little John Cameron for this one: Christmas with Louise, long story but very funny. An article was submitted to a 1999 Louisville Sentinel contest to find out who had the wildest Christmas dinner. This won first prize. CHRISTMAS WITH LOUISE . As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of pantyhose over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them. What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings were overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty. One year, I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. They don't sell those things at Wal-Mart. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown. If you've never been to an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse yourself. I was there an hour saying things like, "What does this do?" "You're kidding me!" "Who would buy that?" Finally, I made it to the inflatable doll section. I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll that could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the car pool lane during rush Hour. Finding what I wanted was difficult. Love dolls come in many different models. The top of the line, according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a book on animal husbandry. I settled for "Lovable Louise". She was at the bottom of the price scale. To call Louise a "doll" took a huge leap of imagination. On Christmas Eve, with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life. My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee morning hours. Long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray. I went home, and giggled for a couple of hours. The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that had made him VERY happy but had left the dog confused. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and bark some more. We all agreed that Louise should remain in her pantyhose so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the traditional Christmas dinner. My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door. "What the hell is that?" she asked. My brother quickly explained, "It's a doll." "Who would play with something like that?" Granny snapped. I had several candidates in mind, but kept my mouth shut. "Where are her clothes?" Granny continued. "Boy, that turkey sure smells nice, Gran," Jay said, trying to steer her into the dining room. But Granny was relentless. "Why doesn't she have any teeth?" Again, I could have answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in the back of the ambulance saying, "Hang on Granny, Hang on!" My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, " Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?" I told him she was Jay's friend. A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the mantel, talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we realized this might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home. The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made a noise that sounded a lot like my father in the bathroom in the morning. Then she lurched from the pantyhose, flew around the room twice, and fell in a heap in front of the sofa. The cat screamed. I passed cranberry sauce through my nose, and grandpa ran across the room, fell to his knees, and began administering mouth to mouth resuscitation. My brother fell back over his chair and wet his pants. Granny threw down her napkin, stomped out of the room, and sat in the car. It was indeed a Christmas to treasure and remember. Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough examination to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh. Fortunately, thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect health. Louise went on to star in several bachelor party movies. I think Grandpa still calls her whenever he can get out of the house. |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Bill D Date: 14 Nov 01 - 11:36 PM When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion. So I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency, she was a drama queen, cried all the time and threatened suicide. So I decided I needed a girl with stability. When I was 25 I found a very stable girl but she was boring. She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything. Life became so dull that I decided I needed a girl with some excitement. When I was 28 I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to other, never settling on anything. She did mad impetuous things and flirted with everyone she met. She made me miserable as often as happy. She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some ambition. When I turned 31, I found a smart ambitious girl with her feet planted firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious that she divorced me and took everything I owned. I am now 40 and am looking for a girl with very big breasts. |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Dead Horse Date: 15 Nov 01 - 02:41 PM *Borrowed* from a cajun web-site:- The Hole in the Ground Boudreaux and Pierre were walking through the woods one day, when Boudreaux grabbed Pierre by the arm pulling him back. Boudreaux says, "Whooee, Pierre, look at dat big hole you almost stepped in!" Pierre looks down into the hole, and says, "Whooee, Boudreaux, dat sure looks like a deep hole. I wonder how deep dat hole goes ?" They find a rock, and throw it into the hole, listening to see how long it will take to hit the bottom. They don't hear nothing. They find a bigger rock and repeat the process, but still don't hear it hit. Pierre notices a railroad tie lying in the bushes, picks it up and throws it into the hole. While they are listening for the railroad tie to hit the bottom, a little billy goat comes running out of the bushes, runs right between them and jumps into the hole. A few minutes later, their friend, Thibodaux comes walking through the bushes. Boudreaux says, "Hey Thibodaux, what you doin' way out here in de woods?" Thibodaux answers, "Well I'm out here looking for my little billy goat." Pierre says, "You want to hear sometin funny, Thibodaux? The strangest ting just happen. A little billy goat just came running out dem bushes, and jumped right in dat deep hole right dere." Thibodaux says, "Oh, dat couldn't have been my billy goat. My goat was tied to a railroad tie back in dose bushes!"

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Amergin Date: 23 Nov 01 - 03:02 AM One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. "Reverend," she said, "I have a problem, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?" "I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg." In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones. "Jesus!", Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hatpin. "Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones. "God!" Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin. "Right again," said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin again. The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?" Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, "If you stick that thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half and shove it up your arse!" "Amen," replied the congregation. |

"Ah, five." So the barman turns to the second man and asks "What do you do?" "I'm a beekeeper too" he says. "Ah, your not serious are ya?" says the barman. "Aye," says the second man. "That's how we know each other - we both keep bees." "Well, how many bees do you have?" asks the barman. "About a million," says the second man. "So how many hives have you got?" "One. Fuck 'em." |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Paul from Hull Date: 17 Dec 01 - 08:01 AM The al Qaida, finally realising the game is up, abandon Bin Laden in his cave. However, once they all get above ground, they realise that things are looking bleak. They are almost surrounded...the Northern Alliance are approaching, predictably, from the North, U.S. Ground troops are coming from the East, & Westwards up the valley, air attacks are making things so unpleasant that there is no chance of escape that way. Only to the South does there seem any chance, for all they can see that way is some strange thing against the sky over the ridge. As they get closer, they see its a kite, being flown by a lone figure on the crest of the ridge, & there is the sound of Western music from what must be a portable stereo. Incensed by this, many of the al Qaida charge towards the figure, while their Commander & his less reckless troops stand watching, passing a pair of binoculars around... "Is the British...is the S.A.S." they decide, after careful observation, & they watch in amazement as the lone figure continues flying his kite, jigging about to the music, & rubbing a bayonet across his chin, making gestures that look like shaving, towards the charging troops....then he steps back behind the ridge, the kite sill flying high overhead. Over the crest go the charging al Qaida, & there is the sound of considerable gunfire, & cartoon-like, figures are thrown up in the air, indicative of a fierce fight...while the kite just bobs up & down a little, & the music continues, as all other noises subside. Then the same lone figure comes dancing uo to the crest of the ridge again, still flying his kite. More shaving gestures, & the angry commander sends the rest of his men charging up the slope, & stands there with his binoculars, watching this impudent British soldier. As the troops are almost at the top of the ridge, a bearded figure, his turban unravelling, comes crawling back over the ridge,battered, bleeding, & ragged toward the advancing rabble... "Go back, go back" he shouts hoarsely, waving a weary arm. "Go BACK..its a trap..There's TWO of them..." ey thenkyew.....*G* |

The one about the kite-flyers reminds me of Rory o'the Glen, from I believe either Roger Zelazny or Larry Niven. Very funny! And I especially like the tallywhacker in the vise.

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: GUEST Date: 17 Dec 01 - 01:08 PM Ned had this hunting dog he called old Joe. Smart dog was old Joe. Ned was always coming back from hunting with a whole mess of birds. Ned's buddy Sam was curious about Ned's luck, and asked him about it. Ned said, "Why, it's old Joe here that tells me whar all the birds are. He kin count 'em. Sam said, "Uh, huh. Yeah, right. Ain't no dog kin count. Ned says, "C'mon out with me, an' I'll show ya." So they go out real early the next morning. All of a sudden, old Joe stands stock-still, looking at a bush, and barks twice. Ned says, "Thar's two pheasants in that thar bush." Sam says, "C'mon now Ned, you really 'spect me to believe that thar dawg knows 'zactly how many birds'r in thar?" Ned says, "Yep, watch this. He gives the bush a kick, and out flies two pheasants. They come to another bush, and old Joe stops abruptly, stares at the bush and barks four times. Sam says, "Don't tell me. I s'pose thar's four birds in that bush." "Yep", says Ned and gives it a kick, and sure enough, out comes four pheasants. Sam is absolutely amazed. He just has to have that dog. He begs Ned to sell old Joe to him. Ned finally gives in and turns old Joe over for an agreed-upon sum. Two days later, Sam meets up with Ned and demands his money back. Sam says, "Ya' done tricked me. I took that dang dawg out a' huntin' yesterday, an' allovasudden, he sniffs at this bush, starts runnin' all over tarnation, picks up this big' ol' tree branch, comes back at me, jes' a shakin' the dang thang like crazy, and a humpin' on my dang leg. I figgur this here's a mad dawg. Ain't no use to me." Ned says, "Naw, hold on now, Sam. Old Joe ain't crazy. He waz jes' tryin' to tell ya' there waz more f--kin' birds in that bush than you could shake a big stick at." Old Joe was a shaggy dog, by the way. |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Amos Date: 18 Dec 01 - 11:37 AM Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip... but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were gone, heaven only knows where to. More Stress! Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the bag full of toys fell to the ground and scattered them everywhere. Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hit the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from. Just then the doorbell rang and Santa just cussed on his way to the door, for he surly did not need the interruption at this time. Totally frustrated now, he opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you like to put this tree fat man?" And that, my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree. |

The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, along with informing the men how to give the necessary assurances at this stage of the plan. The teacher then announced, "Ladies, exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. And, gentlemen, it wouldn't hurt you to take the time to go walking with your partner!" The room really got quiet. Finally, a man in the middle of the group raised his hand. "Yes?" replied the teacher. "Is it all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?" |

Subject: RE: BS: Humor Us, Chapter II From: Troll Date: 17 Jan 02 - 02:12 AM Dumb Blondes (?) ------------ A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me five dollars, and vice versa." Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500." This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill, and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay," says the lawyer, "your turn." She asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references ... no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress ... no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
Fat Theology ------------- And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetable of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?" And Man said, "Super size them." And Man gained pounds. And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man found so fair. And Satan brought forth chocolate. And woman gained pounds. And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth ice cream. And woman gained pounds. And God said, "I have sent your heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them." And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained pounds and his bad cholesterol went through the roof. And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds. And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds. And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil." And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And he created sour cream dip also. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. And Satan created HMOs. troll
