Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Ex-Jarhead walks into a bar, sits down and places a bag of wheat bread on the stool next to him.

"Got any specials today?" he asks the bartender.

The bartender replies, "Yes, as a matter of fact, we have a new drink that was invented by a gynecologist who is a patron of ours. It's a mix of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Smirnoff vodka."

Jarhead asks, "Geez, what kind of drink is that?"

The bartender responds, "We call it a Pabst Smir."

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Next time you think its a good idea to go back to work, remember this guy...

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.

Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 on FM dial in
Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue:
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I
thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore
you with a few technicalities of my job.

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the
office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool.

So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the
sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.

Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is
take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse.

Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.
The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.

Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five
other divers, were all laughing hysterically.

Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I
could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.

When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my
butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut.

So, next time you're thinking a job would be a good idea, imagine spending a few hours a day with a jellyfish shoved up your butt...

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican?

Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and Southern Republicans?

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges.
You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor! or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 9-1-1?

Why is this street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing! ! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Republican's Answer:

BANG!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Southern Republican's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click.....

(sounds of reloading).

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click

Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips?"

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Jarhead and his three buddies were golfing early one morning, having a great time and discussing the virtues of wheat bread.

Two ladies were playing behind them when one of the ladies in the twosome teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward Jarhead and friends.

The ball struck Jarhead, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.

The woman rushed down to him and immediately began to apologize. She said, "Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow."

"Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I'll be all right...I'll be fine in a few minutes," Jarhead replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch.

But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants, and she put her hands inside. She began to massage him. She then asked him, "How does that feel?"

To which Jarhead replied, "It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell."

ReWahoo: Of course, that could never happen to this Jarhead.
Tuesday is "ladies day". (Don't play on Tuesday)
We figure that one day a week for the "ladies",
is more than enough time away from their primary job of making life more pleasant for their husbands.
In addition to baking, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, cutting back brush, etc. etc.
there are occasional big maintenance jobs, (My wife has been installing a new roof for the last 2 weeks).
Not being able to play on Tuesdays is actually a PIA, but you do what you gotta do, and "suck it up".

Subject: No Nativity Scene

There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington, DC this year

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in
Washington, DC this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in the Nation's capitol. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

When ex-Jarhead was a young lad and had no need for wheat bread, his new girlfriend asked him to come over that night and have dinner with her parents. She hinted that when they went out after dinner, Jarhead might "get lucky".

Jarhead was ecstatic, but had never had sex before. He knew he needed to be prepared, so off he went to the drug store to get some condoms.

In those days condoms weren't out on a display rack, they were only available by asking the pharmacist. Although Jarhead was a little apprehensive about it, he worked up the nerve to tell the pharmacist he wanted to buy some condoms. The pharmacist was a nice guy and sensitive to Jarhead's discomfort. He not only helped him select what type he needed, but spent some time telling Jarhead all about condoms and even gave him a short tutorial on sex education. Finally, the pharmacist asked Jarhead how many condoms he'd like to buy: a 3-pack, 10-pack, or a family pack.

"I'm really hot for this girl," said Jarhead. "I intend to go for hours and hours."

The pharmacist, with a laugh, suggested the family pack.

That night Jarhead showed up at the girls house where she took him to the dining room and introduced him to her mom and dad. They sat down at the table and Jarhead was asked to say grace. All bowed their heads in prayer.

A minute passed, and Jarhead was deep in prayer with his head down. Two minutes passed and still no movement from Jarhead. Finally, after three long minutes with his head down, his girlfriend leaned over and whispered to Jarehad, "I had no idea you were this religious. "

Jarhead turned, and whispered back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist!!"

Good one Wahoo. I hope Wendy is staying out of trouble.
Whenever I see the Burger King on TV it looks like he's on drugs.

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

A Texas business man, while in Japan for some business meetings and a few rounds of golf, arrived in Tokyo a day earlier than expected. Feeling lonely that evening, he employed the services of a beautiful young Japanese girl to be his companion for the evening. Although the Japanese girl spoke very little English and the businessman spoke no Japanese, their passion roared and in the heat of the moment she began yelling "Gama Su!, Gama Su!". Hearing this, the Texan knew he had pleased his female Japanese friend and soon afterwards went to sleep.

The next day while playing golf with his Japanese business colleagues, one of his Japanese partners holed his shot from 170 yards away! Everyone went crazy and began yelling excitedly in Japanese. Wanting to impress his friends, the Texan joined in and began yelling, "Gama Su! Gama Su!"

Suddenly everyone became quiet. After a moment of silence, one of the Japanese turned to him and asked "Wrong hole? What do you mean wrong hole?"

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

A blond, a brunette and a redhead are sitting down for lunch one afternoon.

The redhead says to the others, "I found cigarettes in my daughter's room! I can't believe she's a smoker!.

The brunette says "That's nothing. The other day I found beer in my daughter's room. I can't believe she's a drinker!.

The blonde looks at the other two and says, "Well you two are lucky. Just yesterday I found condoms in my daughter's room. I had no idea she had a penis!"

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Jarhead sits alone in a bar, a bag of wheat bread at his feet. A man stumbles up to the bar and sits on the barstool next to him. Being sociable, Jarhead asks the man if he can buy him a drink.

"Why of course," replied the man.

Jarhead then asks: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from California," replies the man.

Jarhead responds: "You don't say. I'm from California too! Let's have another round to the Golden State."

"Of Course," replies the man.

Curious, Jarhead then asks: "Where in California are you from?"

"Redding," comes the reply.

"I can't believe it," says Jarhead. "I'm from Redding too! Let's have another drink to Redding."

"Of course," replies the man.

Curiosity again strikes and Jarhead asks: "What school did you go to?"

"Saint Mary's," replies the man. "I graduated in '55."

"This is unbelievable!" Jarhead shouts. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '55, too!"

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar.

"What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.

"Nothing much," the bartender replies. "The Jarhead twins are drunk again."
