Its funny joke Thursday!

[Dean]

This is as "right on" as anything I've read in ages!! I am a teacher soon to retire, and I shake my head daily at what the kids are like now compared to when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. Nobody is at fault anymore (except the teachers!!), and too many parents want everything to be easy for their little darlings. It's either this or total lack of parenting - one extreme or the other. No wonder that so many kids really can't cope. How I wish my grandchildren could grow up in my world -- I tell my own children and students that by the time their kids are in school, hopdfully they'll be so disgusted with the state of things they'll tear it down and start over!!

Not sure this is a joke.

This is funny, but the scary part about it is that it's probably not too far away from being reality.

Want to know how you'll order a pizza in 2010?

"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for
authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer
rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their
legs, and are tyrants over their teachers."

- Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

LOST GRANDPA

ALL GRANDPAS, HEED THIS WARNING : Do NOT lose your Grand kids in the Mall !

A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall. He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my grandpa!"

The cop said, "Calm down now, we will find him....What's he like?"

The little boy hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Crown Royal whiskey and women with big t*ts."

The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the Rugged Mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.

A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat, and a "To Hell with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came racing up.

One quickly fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic Environmental activists but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies "Who was that guy?"

"It was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom."

"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom but he sure doesn't know anything about Grizzly bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up, or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get us another one?"

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says,
"I'll give you $800 to drop that towel."
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $80 0 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Five Surgeons are discussing the types of people they like to operate on.

*The first surgeon says:
"I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

*The second responds:
"Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."

*The third surgeon says:
"No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

*The fourth surgeon chimes in:
"You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."

*But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed:
"You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the ass are interchangeable."

Two couples were playing poker one evening.

Jim accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table
to pick them up, he noticed Bob's wife Sue wasn't wearing any underwear under her dress!

Shocked by this, Jim upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and
emerged red-faced.

Later, Jim went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Bob's wife followed and asked,
"Did you see anything that you like under there?"

Surprised by her boldness, Jim courageously admitted that, well indeed he did. She said,
" Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500."

After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral costs of this offer,
Jim confirms that he is interested.

She tells him that since her husband, Bob, works Friday afternoons and Jim doesn't,
Jim should be at her house around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon. When Friday rolled around,
Jim showed up at Bob's house at 2 p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of
$500 they went to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed.

Jim quickly dressed and left.

As usual, Bob came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon entering the house,
asked his wife abruptly. "Did Jim come by the house this afternoon?"

With a lump in her throat Sue answered "Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes
this afternoon."

Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, "And did he
give you $500?"

In terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after mustering
her best poker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500."

Bob, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying,
"Good, I was hoping he did. Jim came by the office this morning and
borrowed $500 from me. He promised me he'd stop by our house this
afternoon on his way home and pay me back."

Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player

A man joins a very exclusive nudist colony. On his first day there he takes off his clothes and starts to wander around. A gorgeous petite blond walks by, and the man immediately gets an erection. The woman notices his erection, comes over to him and says, "Did you call for me?"
The man replies "No; what do you mean?"
She says, "You must be new here. Let me explain. It's a rule here that if you get an erection it implies you called for me." Smiling, she leads him to the side of the swimming pool, lies down on a towel, eagerly pulls him to her and happily lets him have his way with her.

The man continues to explore the colony's facilities. He enters the sauna and as he sits down, he farts. Within minutes a huge, hairy man lumbers out of the steam room toward him, "Did you call for me?" says the hairy man.
"No, what do you mean?" says the newcomer.
You must be new," says the hairy man, "it's a rule that if you fart, it implies that you called for me. "The huge man easily spins him around, bends him over a bench and has his way with him.

The newcomer staggers back to the colony office, where he is greeted by the smiling, naked receptionist, "May I help you?" she says.
The man yells, "Here's my membership card. You can have the key back and you can keep the $500 membership fee."
"But sir," she replies, "you've only been here for a few hours. You haven't had the chance to see all our facilities."
The man replies, "Listen lady, I'm 62 years old, I only get an erection once a month, but I fart 15 times a day! I'm outta here.

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken woman swigging her drink, as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asks, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," I sighed. "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she started drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" says my wife. "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

The Flight Crew

The airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the
passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc .

Finally, she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain,Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination."

Ed sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?"

When the attendants came by with the drink cart, he said "Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?"

"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female."

"My God," said Ed, "I'd better have two Scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the cockpit."

"That's another thing sir," said the attendant, "We no longer call it The Cock Pit."


"It's The Box Office."

Don't know if this has been posted before:

Colonoscopies are no joke , but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!

2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"

3. "Can you hear me NOW?"

4.. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.."

11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"

12. "God, now I know why I am not gay."

And the best one of all..

13.. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up here?"

[Sarah in SC]

This one is from my sister, a college English professor in the throes of semester's end exam grading:

Hey – here’s a quote from one Mr. Washington, a student in my ENG 101 class, when asked to explicate a passage from Ovid’s The Art Of Love: “He giving people advice on alcohol because it could be an experience that someone is not aware of. He also gives advice on keep ya hygiene up so love will come your way.” Mr. Washington got partial credit for this answer; nevertheless, he scored a 39 on the exam. This is how I’m spending my day. JJ

One more time I'm glad I didn't get a PhD to do that all day! But I will indeed keep my hygiene up so love will come my way!
