Subject: RE: BS: humour From: Gloredhel Date: 13 Sep 01 - 07:32 PM The Pope is visiting the U.S., and he is riding in a limousine with, of course, a chauffeur. He asks the chauffeur if he might drive a while. The chauffeur is understandably surprised, but the Pope says, "You know, I spend all this time in cars, but not once does anyone ever let me drive. Please?" So the driver agrees, and they trade places. A policeman stops the car for a minor infraction and as the window is rolled down, revelaing the driver, the policeman is a bit surprised. He radios the station and says, "Guess who I just stopped?" "Who?" comes the reply. "I don't know, but he must be pretty important, 'cause the Pope's his driver!" apologies if you've heard it before, but comic relief in times of crisis is important. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: humour From: GUEST,Souter Date: 13 Sep 01 - 11:45 PM Yeah, but just listening too the news doesn't help. This one is a poem, but most of my family thinks it's hysterical: In form and feature, face and limb I grew so like my brother That folks got taking me for him And each for one another! It puzzled all our kith and kin It reached a fearful pitch For one of us was born a twin Yet not a soul knew which! One day, to make the matter worse Before our names were fixed As we were being washed by nurse We got completely mixed! This fatal likeness even dogged My footsteps when at school. And I was always getting flogged For John turned out a fool. This close resemblance turned the tide Of my domestic life. And somehow my intended bride Became my brother's wife! In fact, year after year the same absurd mistakes went on. And when I died, the neighbors came And buried brother John! |
Subject: RE: BS: humour From: Troll Date: 13 Sep 01 - 11:52 PM HOW IT ALL BEGAN An old, bearded shepherd with a crooked staff walked up to a stone pulpit and said, "And lo, it came to pass that the trader by the name of Abraham.Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of dot." And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel far, from town to town, with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?" And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns (and drums in between the towns) to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply, telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)." Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had, at the top price, without ever moving from his tent. But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums, that no one noticed the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And, indeed, he did insist on making drums that would work only if you bought Brother Gates' drumsticks. And Dot said, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others. And, as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known, "eBay," he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are," and Dot replied, Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "Whoopee!", said Abraham. "No, YAHOO!" said Dot Com... and that is how it all began. It wasn't Al Gore after all. And now you know. troll

A second later, she hollered, "YES! YES! I WON! I WON!" She jumped up and down, hugged each of the dealers, gathered up all the money, grabbed her clothes, and left. The dealers just stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them said, "What did she roll?" The other answered, "I thought YOU were watching!" |

Subject: RE: BS: humour From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 16 Sep 01 - 02:01 PM A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing: She would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively, then speak to them. Generally the people would respond negatively and she would wander off, but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money for something she carried in her bag.
The couple assumed she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.
After a couple of weeks the wife said, "Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?"
He hadn't and said so. Then she said, "Tomorrow, I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing."
Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road.
"Well? Is she selling drugs?" she asked, excitement pouring out with her voice.
"No, she's not", he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have.
"Well? What is it, then? What does she do?" his wife fairly shrieked. The man grinned and said, "She's a battery salesman."
"A battery salesman?" cried the wife.
(Here it comes,)
"Yes" he replied, "She sells 'C' cells by the sea shore."

Subject: RE: BS: humour From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 17 Sep 01 - 12:57 PM TALMUDIC TRUTH
A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a rabbi, if they could discuss his use of the family car. His father took him into his study and said: "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your Talmud a little, get your hair cut and then we'll talk about it."
After about a month, the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car. They again went into the father's study where the father said: "Son, I've been very proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you've studied the Talmud diligently, but you didn't get your hair cut."
The young man waited a moment and then replied:" You know Dad, I've been thinking about that. You know Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair." The rabbi said: "Yes, and they walked everywhere they went."

Subject: RE: BS: humour From: Jim Dixon Date: 17 Sep 01 - 03:15 PM Back in the last century, a young girl was being courted. As was the custom, the boy asked her to go for a ride in his buggy. It was winter, and the girl had recently lost her gloves. So, before she left home, her mother told her, "If your hands get cold, just put them between your legs. That's the warmest part of your body." As it happened, the boy had lost his gloves, too. After a mile or so of keeping his hands on the reins, he said, "Boy, are my hands cold!" The girl said, "Why don't you put your hands between my legs? My mother said that's the warmest part of my body." The boy does so, and soon his hands are comfortably warm. Then he has an idea. He says, "Boy, is my penis cold!" (You can guess the result . . .) Later, at home, the girl asks her mother, "Mama, what do you know about penises?" Mama, quite shocked, says, "Well, why don't you first tell me what YOU know about penises?" The girl thinks a bit and says, "Well, when they're frozen stiff, they're really kind of nice. But when they thaw out, they sure make a mess!" |
Subject: RE: BS: humour From: SINSULL Date: 17 Sep 01 - 03:30 PM This came to me from Kendall: The guy was lonely, and decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink. So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?" A little voice came out of ! the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes." |

Subject: RE: BS: humour From: GUEST,Lanfranc at the orifice Date: 19 Sep 01 - 06:20 AM Five major insurance companies are contemplating a merger. As is usual, the PR people have decided that it is essential that a new logo be created to "brand" the new conglomerate. The design was sub-contracted to numerous graphic designers, and, in due time, the PR department received back a variety of designs. There were the usual insurance company cliches, golden discs, castles, chainmail gauntlets, plus the inevitable undecipherable squiggles. One design, however, stood out. It was a shield, quartered, with a circle in the centre. In each quarter was a representation of a man and woman making love, on the centre circle, a baby. They knew that they could never use the design, but called the designer in to explain his creation. "It's very simple," he said, "The man at top left is making love to his wife, that's Legal & General. The man at top right is making love to his mistress, that's Mutual Trust. The man bottom left is making love to a prostitute, that's Commercial Union, and the man bottom right is making love to his secretary, that's Employer's Liability. Oh, and the baby in the middle?
