Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Jim Dixon Date: 09 Sep 02 - 01:35 AM [Copied from the "Car Talk" web site: http://cartalk.cars.com/time-kill/archives/officer.html] A farmer was pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed and, in general, began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said—"Well yeah, if that's what they are—I never heard of circle flies." So the farmer says, "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse." The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey… wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's ass?" The farmer says, "Oh no, Officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass." The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though." |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Bill D Date: 08 Sep 02 - 08:02 PM *shrug*....she was a VERY little girl, who hadn't learned to lithp pwoperly yet---- --------------------------------------------------- A lady from California purchased a piece of timber land in Oregon. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to get a good view of her land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top, she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the lady slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her private parts. In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor. He listened to her story then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry lady demanded, "What took you so long?" > The unperturbed doctor replied, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area." |

The shopkeeper gets down on his knees, so that he's on her level, and asks: "Do you want a wittle white wabby or a soft and fuwwy black wabby or maybe one like that cute wittle brown wabby over there?" The little girl puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice: "I don't fink my pyfon weally gives a thit!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: C-flat Date: 08 Sep 02 - 06:18 PM After the death of her husband, an old lady of 86 years decided she would like to be reunited with the man she'd spent over 60 years married to. She decided the easiest way to end it all would be to shoot herself in the heart. The problem with this plan was that she wasn't sure exactly where her heart was. She sought advice from a friend, "Your heart is just below your left breast" she was reliably informed. The next day an elderly lady was admitted to the local hospital with a gunshot wound to her left knee! |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: gnu Date: 07 Sep 02 - 06:22 AM This one is much better.... I promise... An Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman are all playing golf with their wives. The Englishman's wife steps up to the tee and as she bends over to place her ball a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear. "Good God! Why aren't you wearing any knickers?" her husband demanded. "Well, you don't give me enough housekeeping money to afford to buy any." The Englishman immediately reaches into his pocket and says," For the sake of decency here's 50 pounds, go and buy yourself some underwear." Next the Irishman's wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt blows up to show that she is wearing no undies. "Bejesus woman. You've no knickers - why not?" She replies "I can't afford any on the money you give me." He reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of decency here's 20 pounds, go and buy yourself some underwear!" Lastly, the Scotsman's wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she too is naked under it. "Hoot, lassie! Why d'ye have no knickers?" She too explains, "You don't give me enough housekeeping money to be able to afford any." The Scot reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of decency here's a comb. Tidy yourself up a bit!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Kim C Date: 08 Aug 02 - 11:05 AM I heard this on Prairie Home Companion - I think Aly Bain actually told it but I don't remember. Fergus loved books and went to a local book fair. Among the treasures he brought back was The Joy Of Sex. He says to his wife Fiona, "Well, you see, I've bought this book, The Joy of Sex, and I've found a new position we should try." "Well, all right, Fergus, what is it?" "It's called the Wheelbarrow... remember when we were young, and we used to have the wheelbarrow races, where you'd get on your hands, and the person behind you held your legs up? Like that." "All right then, Fergus, I'll try it, but on two conditions." "What's that, Fiona?" "First, if it hurts my back, we'll stop." "But of course." "Second, I don't want to go past me Mum's house." |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Pete Jennings Date: 07 Aug 02 - 12:56 PM Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young, newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks. The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes we made it." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?" "No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly. "What Happened?" inquired the pastor. "My wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there." "You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor. "We know." said the young man, "We're not welcome in Safeway anymore either." Pete

Just as she was about to give him the jab she leaned over him and said it really quietly so I wouldn't hear, but I did hear. "Just a little prick," she whispered. "At least he's not a scurvy bitch like you," I said as we left. |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 28 Jul 02 - 01:31 PM Marcy, a beautiful young woman, just moved to a new city, had a terrible toothache. She had to search for a dentist taking new patients, and finally found a young handsome dentist just beginning to practice. She went in for her appointment. The relationship was instant and electric! They had passionate sex right there in the dentist's chair! He was SO handsome, and the sex SO good, she went back the following week. Same events. GOOD! And so on for weeks, and weeks, and weeks... Finally Dr. John said, "Marcy, our relationship has been absolutely wonderful, but it has to stop. Now." "Oh, why? Why, John? Was it something I did?" "No. You only have one tooth left."

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Jim Dixon Date: 28 Jul 02 - 11:55 AM So God opened a large can of tuna and reached for a chunk of rye bread, and he and Mother Teresa shared it. While eating this humble meal, Mother Teresa looked down into Hell and saw the inhabitants devouring huge steaks, lobsters, pheasants, pastries, and wines. Curious, but deeply trusting, she remained quiet. The next day, God again invited her to join him for a meal. Again, it was tuna and rye bread. Once again, Mother Teresa could see the denizens of Hell enjoying caviar, champagne, lamb, truffles, and chocolates. Still, she said nothing. The following day, mealtime arrived, and another can of tuna was opened. She couldn't contain herself any longer. Meekly, she said, "God, I am grateful to be in Heaven with you as a reward for the pious, obedient life I led. But, here in Heaven, all I get to eat is tuna and a piece of rye bread, and in the Other Place, they eat like emperors and kings! I just don't understand." God sighed. "Let's be honest," he said. "For just two people, does it really pay to cook?" |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Ian Darby Date: 20 Jul 02 - 10:48 PM Elephant to mouse: "Why are you so small?" Mouse: "I've been ill." Why do moths have small balls? Not many of them can dance. Why do moths fly with their legs apart? Have you seen the size of moth balls? What do you have if you are holding a green ball in each hand? The complete and undivided attention of a Leprechaun. And from a much missed celtic website which I'm too smashed to remember the name of..... "I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandpa, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car." "Very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes." "If a man is alone in a forest with no woman around to hear, is he still wrong?" "The gene pool could use a little chlorine." "Make something idiot proof and sure enough along comes a better idiot...." "Santa's elves are just a bunch of subordinate clauses."

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 20 Jul 02 - 06:18 PM One morning this blonde calls her friend and says, "Please come over and help me. I have this killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to start it." Her friend asks, "What is it a puzzle of?"
The blonde says, "From the picture on the box, it's a tiger."
The blonde's friend figures that he's pretty good at puzzles, so he heads over to her place. She lets him in the door and shows him to where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, and then studies the box.
He then turns to her and says: "First, no matter what I do, I'm not going to be able to show you how to assemble these to look like the picture of that tiger." "Second, I'd advise you to relax, have a cup of coffee, and put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box." |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 20 Jul 02 - 03:39 PM A mother and her son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess.
So the boy asked the stewardess, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"
The stewardess responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?" The boy admitted that this was the case. "Well, then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Your mother can explain it to you."

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: C-flat Date: 20 Jul 02 - 08:09 AM I guy is worried about his pet parrot so he takes it to the vet. The vet looks at the motionless bird, "I'm sorry but your parrot is dead" he pronounces. "Are you sure?" the horrified man says, "I'm afraid so" replies the vet. "I can't believe it" says the man "You're absolutely sure it's not just sick or in a coma or something?" desperation in his voice. The vet, out of pity, offers to carry out some further tests. "Anything!" agrees the, now tearful, man. The vet walks to the door and opens it, allowing a black Labrador dog, that had been waiting obediently outside, to enter. The dog walks up to the table where the parrot is lain and sniffs around it. It then looks at the vet and, with a shake of it's head, leaves the room. At that, a cat enters, jumps up on the table, sniffs the bird and, looking at the vet, solemnly shakes his head and leaves the room also. "It's conclusive!" the vet says to the bemused man, "That'll be £150" "Are you serious?" spluttered the parrots owner "£150 to tell me my parrot is dead and there's nothing you can do!" "Well" says the vet,"Ordinarily I would charge £10 for an examination but with the LAB test and the CAT scan............... |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: gnu Date: 20 Jul 02 - 06:52 AM Six retired Floridians were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Meyerwitz loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing standing up. Finkelstein looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna' tell his wife?" They draw straws. Goldberg picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse. "Discreet? I'm the most discreet mensch you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me." Goldberg goes over to the Meyerwitz apartment, knocks on the door. The wife answers and asks what he wants. Goldberg declares, "Your husband just lost $500, and is afraid to come home." The wife says, "Tell him to drop dead!" "I'll go tell him." says Goldberg.

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 19 Jul 02 - 02:59 PM A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw an unusually beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight toward his seat. Lo and behold, she took the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?" She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniac convention in Chicago". He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention? "Lecturer," she responded. "I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." "Really," he said, "what myths are those?" Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Jewish descent. We have, however, found that the best potential lover in all categories is the Southern Redneck." Suddenly, the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing this with you. I don't even know your name." Tonto", the man said, "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba." |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 18 Jul 02 - 08:19 PM Some Wal-Mart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item -- Walmart's own brand of wine.
The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif.,to produce the spirits at an affordable price; in the $6-8 range.
While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Wal-Mart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for inexpensive wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important."
So, with that in mind, here are the top 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:
12. Chateau Traileur Doublewide
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine...
1. Nasti Spumante |

Two airline mechanics (good drinking buddies) are in the hanger at Newark, where the runway is fogged in, and they have nothing to do. John says, "Man, I would kill for a drink right about now, you got a beer?" "Nah" says Bill, "but a guy told me that you can drink jet fuel, and that it will give you a hell of a buzz". So they proceed to drink some jet fuel and get wasted. They have a great time, as only good drinking buddies can. Next morning John expects to have a hellacious hangover, but he is amazed that he doesn't. Not even a headache. The phone rings and it's Bill, asking how he feels. "I feel great" says John. "No hangover at all". Bill says "Me neither!". That jet fuel is great stuff. We should do that more often!". "Yeah, I suppose" says Bill. But there is one thing. Did you fart yet"? "No. Why"? says John Bill says "Because I'm in Phoenix".

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Bullfrog Jones Date: 17 Jul 02 - 05:38 AM This bloke (no not him, another one) decides he wants a pet, so he goes to the pet shop and says he wants something really unusual, that no one else has. So the pet shop owner says "I've got just the thing for you -- a talking centipede". "Cool -- I'll take it" says the guy. So he heads home with the talking centipede in a little box. When he gets there he puts the box on the table and says "How about I take you to the pub, and we'll have a few beers and a chat, get to know each other." The centipede doesn't say anything, so the guy goes off to get changed. He comes back a while later and says "So, how about it then -- down the pub for a few beers?". Still no reply from the centipede, so the guy goes off and watches TV for a while. Eventually he comes back and says "So, what about going to the pub for a drink?" The centipede says "For fuck's sake, I heard you the first time. I'm putting my shoes on!" BJ |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Trevor Date: 17 Jul 02 - 04:56 AM Her Side of the Story: He was in an odd mood Sunday night. We planned to meet at a bar for a drink. I spent the afternoon shopping with the girls and I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit later than I promised, but he didn't say anything much about it. The conversation was very slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure. So anyway, in the car on the way back home, I said that I loved him deeply and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he didn't say it back or anything. We finally got back home and I was wondering if he was going to leave me! So I tried to get him to talk but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to bed. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and to my surprise, we made love. But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to confront him but I just cried myself to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I really think he's seeing someone else. > > -------------------------------------------- His Side of the Story: > > England lost. Had a Good Shag Though |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: GUEST,Steve Date: 16 Jul 02 - 04:06 PM So this giraffe goes into a pub (this, like me, is in England) and orders a pint of beer. "Beer?", says the barman, "giraffes don't drink beer!" "Look," says the giraffe, I've got the money - I'll decide what I want to drink." So the barman shrugs his shoulders, serves him his beer and takes the money. The giraffe sinks the pint in five seconds flat (like the beer!) and orders another. This is repeated several more times until the giraffe is decidedly unsteady on its legs. Eventually the giraffe collapses on the floor. At that point one of the regulars comes in and sees the prostrate animal. "What's that lyin' there?" he asks.
"That's not a lion", says the landlord, "it's a giraffe." |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 16 Jul 02 - 03:57 PM Virus Warning This virus warning is genuine. There is a new virus going around, called "work". If you receive any sort of "work" at all, whether via email, internet or simply handed to you by a colleague.... DO NOT OPEN IT. This has been circulating around our building for months and those who have been tempted to open "work" or even look at "work" have found that their social life is deleted and their brain ceases to function properly. If you do encounter "work" via email or are faced with any "work" at all, then to purge the virus, send an email to your boss with the words I've had enough of your crap... I'm off to the pub. The "work" should automatically be forgotten by your brain. If you receive "work" in paper-document form, simply lift the document and drag the "work" to your garbage can. Put on your hat and coat and skip to the nearest bar with two friends and order three pints of beer (or rum punch). After repeating this action 14 times, you will find that "work" will no longer be of any relevance to you and that "Scooby Doo" was the greatest cartoon ever. Send this message to everyone in your address book. If you do NOT have anyone in your address book, then I'm afraid the "work" virus has already corrupted your life. |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: GUEST,Foe Date: 16 Jul 02 - 03:06 PM Four guys are driving cross-country together - One from Maine, one from Vermont, one from New Hampshire and the last one is from Massachusetts. A bit down the road the man from New Hampshire starts to pull granite rocks out of his bag and throws them out the window. The man from Maine turns to him and asks, "What the hell are you doing?" The man from New Hampshire says, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in New Hampshire laying around on the ground - I'm sick of looking at them!" A few more miles down the road, the man from Vermont begins pulling bottles of Maple syrup from his bag and throwing them out the window. The man from Maine asks, "What are you doing that for?" The man from Vermont replies, "Man, we we have so many of these damned jugs in Vermont, I'm sick of looking at them!" Inspired by the others, the man from Maine opens the car door and pushes the man from Massachusetts out. |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 16 Jul 02 - 10:00 AM NOTE ON THE ECONOMY If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then traded in the cans at a redemption center for the nickel deposit, you would have $107.00.
Given the current conditions of the economy, my advice is to drink heavily and recycle. |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Auxiris Date: 16 Jul 02 - 05:52 AM A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonalds one cold winter evening. They looked quite out of place amid the young families and younger couples eating there that night. Some of the customers there couldn't help but notice them and looked admiringly at them. You could almost tell what the admirers were thinking. "Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, I'd bet they're probably married for 60 years or more!" The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation, and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was just one regular hamburger, one regular order of French fries, and one drink and two straws between them. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and taking a plastic knife from his coat, he wiped it clean and then carefully cut it in half. He placed one half the hamburger in front of his wife. Then he counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles, and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, then his wife took a sip and they set the cup down between them. As the old man began to eat his few bites of hamburger and French fries the crowd around them began to get restless. Again, you could tell what they were thinking. "That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them." And as the old man began to eat his French fries a younger man stood up and proudly walked over to the old couples' table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied, no, thanked him and told him that they were just fine. They were just so used to sharing everything in life, he said. Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn't touched the food to take a bite of it. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally would take turns sipping from the one cup with a second straw. Again, the young man came over and begged them to please let him buy them something more to eat. This time it was the lady who explained- no, they were used to sharing everything in life together, and they could manage quite well. And, then, as the little old man finished eating his half of the plain hamburger and order of fries, and was neatly wiping his face with a napkin, the young man could stand it no longer. Again, he came over to their table and offered to buy some more food for them. After being politely refused, again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. "Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything in life with your husband? What is it that you are waiting for?" She answered..........and...said.....
Get ready. . .
"The teeth, I am waiting on the teeth!"
Sorry!
cheers,

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Bill D Date: 15 Jul 02 - 09:45 PM A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. This new element has been tentatively named "Administratium". Administratium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Administratium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Administratium has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Administratium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass." You will know it when you see it... |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Bill D Date: 15 Jul 02 - 09:31 PM REMAINING U.S. CEOs MAKE A BREAK FOR IT Band of Roving Chief Executives Spotted Miles from Mexican Border San Antonio, Texas - Unwilling to wait for their eventual indictments, the 10,000 remaining CEOs of public U.S. companies made a break for it yesterday, heading for the Mexican border, plundering towns and villages along the way, and writing the entire rampage off as a marketing expense. "They came into my home, made me pay for my own TV, then double-booked the revenues," said Rachel Sanchez of Las Cruces, just north of El Paso. "Right in front of my daughters." Calling themselves the CEOnistas, the chief executives were first spotted last night along the Rio Grande River near Quemado, where they bought each of the town's 320 residents by borrowing against pension fund gains. By late this morning, the CEOnistas had arbitrarily inflated Quemado's population to 960, and declared a 200 percent profit for the fiscal second quarter. This morning, the outlaws bought the city of Waco, transferred its underperforming areas to a private partnership, and sent a bill to California for $4.5 billion. Law enforcement officials and disgruntled shareholders riding posse were noticeably frustrated. "First of all, they're very hard to find because they always stand behind their numbers, and the numbers keep shifting," said posse spokesman Dean Levitt. "And every time we yell 'Stop in the name of the shareholders!', they refer us to investor relations. I've been on the phone all damn morning." "YOU'LL NEVER AUDIT ME ALIVE!" The pursuers said they have had some success, however, by preying on a common executive weakness. "Last night we caught about 24 of them by disguising one of our female officers as a CNBC anchor," said U.S. Border Patrol spokesperson Janet Lewis. "It was like moths to a flame." Also, teams of agents have been using high-powered listening devices to scan the plains for telltale sounds of the CEOnistas. "Most of the time we just hear leaves rustling or cattle flicking their tails," said Lewis, "but occasionally we'll pick up someone saying, 'I was totally out of the loop on that.'" Among former and current CEOs apprehended with this method were Computer Associates' Sanjay Kumar, Adelphia's John Rigas, Enron's Ken Lay, Joseph Nacchio of Qwest, Joseph Berardino of Arthur Andersen, and every Global Crossing CEO since 1997. ImClone Systems' Sam Waksal and Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco were not allowed to join the CEOnistas as they have already been indicted. So far, about 50 chief executives have been captured, including Martha Stewart, who was detained south of El Paso where she had cut through a barbed- wire fence at the Zaragosa border crossing off Highway 375. "She would have gotten away, but she was stopping motorists to ask for marzipan and food coloring so she could make edible snowman place settings, using the cut pieces of wire for the arms," said Border Patrol officer Jennette Cushing. "We put her in cell No. 7, because the morning sun really adds texture to the stucco walls." While some stragglers are believed to have successfully crossed into Mexico, Cushing said the bulk of the CEOnistas have holed themselves up at the Alamo. "No, not the fort, the car rental place at the airport," she said. "They're rotating all the tires on the minivans and accounting for each change as a sale." |

Subject: RE: BS: Heard any good ones lately From: Bill D Date: 15 Jul 02 - 09:22 PM A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey, I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box? We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh, and please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish. He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Bluegill, and a few Pike. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?" The wife replies, "I did, they were in your tackle box." |

The mother went a store and the father and son stood outside. They watched two big silver doors open up. An old woman in a wheelchair rolls in. The doors close and the numbers on the top of the doors change from 1 to 3. Then the numbers go from 3 to 1 and the doors open again. Out walks a beautiful blonde in a mini skirt. The Amish man says to his son, "Go get your mother." |
