Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

A local barber shop installed a new robotic barber to
take some of the pressure off of him.

A fellow came in for a haircut and after being told
about the "new barber" decided he would give it a try.
As the robot began to cut his hair, it asked the man,
"What's your IQ?"

The man replied, "140." So the robot preceded to make
conversation about physics, astronomy, investments,
insurance, and so on. The man listened intently and said
"This is really cool."

Later another man who was waiting for a haircut
stepped up to the robot's chair, sat down and the
robot asked him before beginning his haircut, "What's your IQ?"

The man replied "100." So the robot started talking
about football, baseball, and so on. This man
too thought to himself "Wow! This is really cool."

Next, a third man stepped up to the robot's chair,
seated himself and the robot, as with the others,
asked him "What's your IQ?"

The man replied "50."

The robot then said, "So, I understand you Democrats
are really excited about Hilary running for president?"

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

(): I've been thinking about your standing $100,000 offer for anyone capable of writing a program that sends a dog out of a computer screen to bite a particular viewer. First though, you need to raise the incentive a bit. $100,000 is not enough for such a computer program.

Also, after thinking about it, I see a liability lurking in the background. If someone stole this program from you, it could create huge liability problems (speak to my lawyer about this), with biting dogs all over the place, attacking people the most when they would least like it--and right above their lap, so to speak. Bad stuff--especially if unauthorized people get ahold of it.

And besides, I think such a software program if it worked would be worth billions to the pornography business. Of course a few modifications would need to be made before it worked the way 'they' wanted it to work. . . umm . . . naa . . . .

. . . . but back to your original request. I think you would be better served with a program that could get people to bite themselves. This would reduce the liability issue almost to zero.

I'm going away for a while. I'm thinking about this board waaaaaaaaaay toooooo much.

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Unclemick2, JohnGalt2u, and OAP are in a bar.
They are having a good time and all agree that the bar
is a nice place.

Then Unclemick2 says, "Aye, this is a nice bar, but
where I come from, back in Dublin, there's a better
one.
At MacDougal's, you buy a drink, you buy another
drink,
and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!"

The others agree that sounds like a nice place.

Then JohnGalt2u says, "Yeah, that's a nice bar, but
where I come from, there's a better one. Over in
Brooklyn,
there's this place, Vinny's. At Vinny's, you buy a
drink,
Vinny buys you a drink. You buy anudda drink, Vinny
buys
you anudda drink."

Everyone agrees that sounds like a great bar.

Then OAP (of Polish decent) says, "You think that's great?
Where
I come from, there's this place called Warshowski's.
At
Warshowski's, they buy you your first drink, they buy
you
your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and
then,
they take you in the back and get you laid!"

"Wow!" say the other two. "That's fantastic! Did
that
actually happen to you?"

"No," replies OAP, "but it happened to my sister!"

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

HaHa, this could be the joke that defines Unclemick1, JohnGalt2us and me.

At the dreaded vet's waiting room, three dogs are shivering with what may happen because Mick, John and OAP have brought in a Poodle, a Beagle and a Bull Mastiff to DogsRUs VETS.


While sitting in the waiting room. the Bull Mastiff asks the Poodle why she's in for treatment today and she says: " I bark a lot so my master brought me here to get my vocal cords cut. "

So he asks the Beagle what he in for, "Oh, I keep getting my tail unders rockers and my owner want's it docked."

But the Beagle, asks" hey Bull Mastiff, why are you here"? He admits "Oh it's cause I saw my master drop her soap and I did what any dog would do".

Both dogs ask: "Oh NO, what are you in for?" Mastiff says "Oh, just a nail trim."

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!


Obviously this e-mail originated from a woman (a comedienne who had
mastered the use of technology).

MEN'S REVENGE
"Cash, cheque or card?" the cashier asks, after ringing up the items the
woman wishes to purchase. As she fumbles for her wallet, the cashier
notices a remote control for a television set in her handbag.

"So you always carry your TV remote?" the cashier asks.

"No," she replies, " but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I
figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can
take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by
the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales
girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is
looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct
aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a
ball of string on the counter.

She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for
your wife?"

He answers, "It's like this. Yesterday, I sent my wife to the shop to get
me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of Golden Virginia
and some Rizla papers; 'because it's so-o-o-o much cheaper.'

"So, I figure if I have to roll my own ... so does she."

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drive down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An
earlier discussion led to an argument and neither of them wants to concede
their position. As they pass a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the
husband asks sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "
Yep," the wife replies, "in-laws."

WORDS
A man reads an article to his wife about how many words women use a day:
30,000 to a man's 15,000.

The wife replies, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat
everything to men."

The man replies, "What?"

CREATION
A man says to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and
so beautiful all at the same time."

The wife responds, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would
be attracted to me, whereas God made me stupid so I would be attracted to
you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife are having an argument about who should brew the coffee
each morning. She says, "You should do it, because you get up first, and
then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."

He says, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it,
because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."

She says, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the
man should do the coffee."

He replies, "WHAT?!?!? I can't believe that, show me."

She fetches the Bible, opens the New Testament and shows him at the top of
several pages, that it does indeed say ...

"HEBREWS"


THE SILENT TREATMENT
A man and his wife are having some problems at home and are giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realises that the next day,
he needs his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business
flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he
writes on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left
it where he knew she would find it.

The next morning, he wakes up, only to discover it is 9:00 AM and he has
missed his flight. Furious, he is about to go and see why his wife hasn't
awoken him, when he notices a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said,
"It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Men are not equipped for such contests.

God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft
before the masterpiece.

Ex-Jarhead and Dreamer,* glad I could make ya's laught.* Here's one that I have to tone the words a bit and it loses a litted zing but you can add the "sauce" back when ya retell it.

--------------------
On his last evening in Vegas, OAP loses all but $2, so he totally busted.* He's got a plane ticket home so he goes out of the Casino and asks a cab driver to give him a ride to the airport and he'll pay him back later.* The cab driver tells him to "go f'* himself".

Well, OAP decides to just sleep on a bench and get the wife to wire money. So next morning he goes back to the taxi queue and there is the same driver lined up third in the queue.* OAP goes to the first driver and says "Hey, I'm broke but if you drive me to the airport, I'll let you perform oral sex on me". The cab driver, Unclemick2 says "f'off fag".* *He goes to the second guy in line and repeats the offer.* JohnGalt2u almost comes out of his cab but just tells him to "piss off and further more none of these drivers are queers". Both drivers get out and start talking about what had just been said.

He goes to the cab driver from the previous night. Ask's him "Can I get a lift to the airport". Cab driver says sure hop in.

As he pulls out past the first two drivers, OAP gives both drivers a big smile and a big thumbs up.

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Go to this website, biggest one I've ever seen!

(Don't* worry, it's clean, and is being shown as an ad on UK TV)


www.bigad.com.au/

Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young
husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance
policy on his wife (with himself as the beneficiary), and arranging to have
her killed.

A "friend of a friend" put him in touch with a nefarious,underworld figure,
who went by the name of "Artie." Artie explained to the husband that his
going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't
have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid SOMETHING up front. The man opened up his
wallet, displaying the single dollar note that rested inside. Artie sighed,
rolled his eyes, and reluctantly agreed to accept the quid as down payment
for the dirty deed.


A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Randalls
supermarket. There, he surprised her in the produce department, and
proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands.

As the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath, and slumped to the
floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the
scene. Unwilling to leave any witnesses behind, Artie had no choice but to
strangle the produce manager as well.

Unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by hidden cameras
and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the
police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could leave the store.

Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the sordid
plan, including his financial arrangements with the hapless husband. And
that is why, the next day in the newspaper, the headline declared:

"ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A BUCK AT RANDALLS."

Hey OAP: You told us this one about a month ago on this same thread. Don't want to discourage you though, because all three were
winners.

It gets worse, believe me.

I'm getting used to starting to explain a situation to me wife, and seeing a certain expression on her face, followed up by my stating, "did I tell you this already"?

Her follow up is, "at least 2 or 3 times.

You're on a roll, don't let me discourage you.

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Ex-Jarhead,
I know man , did I send the story about a marine recruit in boot camp and writing a letter home to maw and paw.

Also, there is a joke rolling around in my brain, that nearly caused me to break wind laughning and I can't conjure it out.

I have a good friend and I get him to laughing sometimes and his belly is rolling, tears are streaming and we both eventually can't talk without sounding like were gagging for breathe.

Life should be like that everyday.

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

So, it was getting a little crowded in Heaven and God decided to change the admission policy. The new rule: To get into Heaven, you must have had a real bummer of a last day on earth.

The next day at 12:01 a.m., the first new soul came knockin' on Heaven's door.

The Angel in charge, enforcing the new policy, promptly said to the man, "Before I can let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going when you died."

"No problem," the man said. "I came home unannounced to my 5th floor apartment on my lunch hour and caught my wife half naked. She appeared to be having an affair, but her lover was nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife was crying and carrying on, but I scoured the apartment.

Just as I was about to give up, I glanced out onto the balcony and noticed a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! The nerve of the SOB! Well, I ran out there and stomped on his fingers until he fell. But, wouldn't you know it, he lands in some trees and bushes that broke his fall. This ticked me off even more. In a rage, I went back inside to get something to throw at him. The first thing I saw was the refrigerator. I unplugged it, pushed it onto the balcony and flipped it over the side. It plummeted the 5 floors and crushed him!

Unfortunately, the stress brought on by all of this was so great that I had a heart attack and died right on the spot."

The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy didn't belong, but he did have one very bad last day, guilty only of a crime of passion. So, the Angel said, "OK, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.

Minutes later, another man approached. The Angel said, "Before I can let you in, you must tell me what your final day was like."

"No problem," said the second man. "But you're not going to believe this. I'm on the balcony of my 6th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I'd been under a lot of pressure, so I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I guess I got a little carried away, slipped and accidentally fell over the side! Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But then all of a sudden this wild man comes running out of his apartment cursing a blue streak and starts stomping on my fingers. Well, of course, I can't hold on. Luckily, I drop through some trees, breaking my fall, and I land in some bushes. I'm battered but alive. As I'm lying there face up on the ground unable to move, I see the lunatic push a refrigerator off the balcony. It falls the 5 floors and lands right on top of me. Lights out!"

The Angel quietly laughs to himself as the man finishes his story. "Very well, my son" the Angel says, "welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he lets the man enter.

Minutes later another man comes along. The angel says, "Please tell me how you died."

The third man says, "OK, now picture this. I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator..."

Re: Its funny joke Thursday!

Redneck Challenge

I am sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people are in the South. I challenge any so-called smart non-southerner to correctly answer more than two of the following questions:

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10 pound possum.

2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard?
(A) '65 Ford Fairlane
(B) '69 Chevrolet Chevelle
(C) '64 Pontiac GTO.

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product?

4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweisers will be drunk before all the trees are cut down?

5. If every old refrigerator in the state of Alabama vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the percentage decrease in the ozone layer?

6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed?

7. A man owns a Tennessee house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for one old car, one old refirgerator and one old couch to sit out front?

8. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

9. A coalmine operates a NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of the 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during the shift?

10. At a reduction in the gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?

I betcha thought that there test was gonna be an easy one, didn't ya? It's okay if'n ya didn't do all that well. Just goes to show ya... There's a hole heap of things that big city book-learning don't prepare ya for in this life.

As an added bonus for taking the "REDNECK CHALLENGE", here's some southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece...

Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place an order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with them...
