Looking Into Their Eyes

A policeman pulls a man over for speeding and asks him to get out of the car. After looking the man over he says, "Sir, I couldn't help but notice your eyes are bloodshot. Have you been drinking?"

The man gets really indignant and says, "Officer, I couldn't help but notice your eyes are glazed. Have you been eating doughnuts?"

Theater Guest

A man lay sprawled across three entire seats in a theater.

When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat."

The man groaned but didn't budge.

The usher became impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager."

Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager. In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success.

Finally, they summoned the police.

The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?"

"Sam," the man moaned.

"Where ya from, Sam?"

With pain in his voice Sam replied... "The balcony."

Female Hormones In Beer

Last week, scientists in the United States revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.

To prove their theory, they fed one hundred men, twelve pints of beer and observed that 100% of them started talking nonsense and couldn't drive.

Ice Fishing

(Contributed By 'The Dude')

A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She'd seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary items together, she made for the nearest frozen lake.

After positioning her footstool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, "There are no fish under the ice!"

Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice and began to cut yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed, "There are no fish under the ice!"

The blonde, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, sat up her stool, and tried again to cut her hole. The voice came once more, "There are no fish under the ice!"

She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "Is that you, Lord?"

The voice replied, "No, manager of this ice rink!"

Rookie Is On The Job

(Contributed By 'The Dude')

A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner. A call came in telling them to disperse some people who were loitering.

The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd standing on a corner.

The rookie rolled down his window and said, "Let's get off the corner people."

A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again, "Let's get off that corner... NOW!"

Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction.

Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?"

Pretty good," chuckled the vet, "especially since this is a bus stop."

Leaving Money For The Dead

A Brooklyn lawyer, a used car salesman and a banker were gathered by a coffin containing the body of an old friend. In his grief, one of the three said, "In my family, we have a custom of giving the dead some money, so they’ll have something to spend over there."

They all agreed that this was appropriate. The banker dropped a hundred dollar bill into the casket, and the car salesman did the same. The lawyer took out the bills and wrote a check for $300.

Got To Love A Small Town!!

(Contributed by Johnny Pirkle)

A small town attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial, a grand-motherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Lowenstein. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you try to manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're going to be a big shot some day, but you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher in a dead-end career. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned. To stall for time while collecting his thoughts, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you also know the opposing counsel?" She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the county. He has committed adultery with three different low-class women! Yes, I know him."

That attorney was also surprised and shocked. At this point the judge gaveled the courtroom to silence and instructed both lawyers to the bench. There, and in a very quiet voice he said, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt."

"It was so simple," Barbara replied, "Everybody knows that cuckoos live in clocks !"

The Lawyer

(Contributed by Roger Bertholf)

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine
when he saw two pathetic men eating grass by the road side. He ordered
his driver to stop and he got out to investigate, and asked, "Why are you
eating grass?"

"We don't have no money for food," the first man replied.

"Oh, well, you can come with me to my house," insisted the lawyer.

"But, sir, I got a wife and three kids here."

"Bring them along!" replied the lawyer.

"But how 'bout m' friend?"

The lawyer turned to the other man and said, "You come with us, too."

"But, sir, I got a wife and six kids!"

"Bring them as well!" answered the lawyer as he headed for his limo.

They all climbed into the car, and once underway, one of the poor
fellows says: "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us
with you."

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll love my place. The grass is
almost a foot tall."

Notice To All True Patriots

(Contributed by Deborah "Sam" Hassinger)

The Taliban and Al Quaida cannot stand nudity and consider it a
sin to see a naked woman that is not one's wife.

Next Saturday afternoon, at 2:00 p.m. EST, all North American
women are asked to walk out of their houses completely naked to
help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for
one hour is recommended for this antiterrorist effort.

All men should position themselves in lawn chairs in front of
their homes to prove that they think it's OK to see other women nude.

(Since the enemy does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at
your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban sentiment.)

Notify the appropriate authorities of any people who do not
participate. Your efforts to root out terrorists will be greatly
appreciated and indicate your desire to demonstrate your patriotism.

Remember: Be Patriotic - Be Safe - Be Naked

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman." The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy?"
 
"Yes, Father, it is." "And, who was the woman you were with?" "Sure and I can't be tellin' you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
 
"Well, Tommy, I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?" "I cannot say." "Was it Patricia Kelly?" "I'll never tell." "Was it Liz Shannon?" "I'm sorry, but I can't name her." "Was it Cathy Morgan?"
 
"My lips are sealed." "Was it Fiona McDonald, then?" "Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
 
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're a steadfast lad, Tommy Shaughnessy, and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend church for three months. Be off with you now." Tommy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
 
"Three month's vacation and five good leads," says Tommy.

Deed Of Merit

A man appears before the Pearly Gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit St. Peter asks."

"Well, I can think of one," the man offers.  "Once I came upon a gang of high-testosterone bikers who were threatening a young woman.  I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker.  I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground, and told him, 'Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me.'"

St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?"

Chief Reason

(Contributed By Gloria Franks)

It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.

But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea.

He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"

"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the Meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared.

One week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" he asked.

"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.

Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"

"Absolutely," the man replied. "It looks like it's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.

The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.

Special Occasion

(Contributed By Harold Benson)

My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake).

One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was
ajar. I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was
keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen?

Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, told me that those were
for "special occasions."

Now fast forward a few months....It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are
leaving to pick up the pastor and his wife for dinner. Mom had
assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the
table.

When they returned, the pastor came in first and immediately
burst into laughter.

Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling.

Next came my father, who roared with laughter.

Then came Mom, who almost died of
embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a
"special occasion" napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully
arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't
hang off the edge!!

My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the
other adults into further fits of laughter.

"But, Mom, you SAID they were for Special Occasions!!!"

I went to the store the other day, I was only in there for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a cop writing a parking ticket.

So I went up to him and said, "Come on buddy, how about giving a guy a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil necked Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having bald tires!!

So I called him a sheep abusing, horse humping Bozo. He finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first.

Then he started writing a third ticket!!

This went on for about 20 minutes; the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

You should have seen his face when I crossed the street, got into my car, & drove away.....

Test Gun

(Contributed By Gloria Franks)

Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity.

The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshield of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made. But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the engineer's backrest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin.

Horrified Britons sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield, and begged the U.S. scientists for suggestions.

NASA's response was just three words, "Thaw the chicken."

There Are Teachers, And Then There Are Educators

(Contributed By Johnny Pirkle)

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would make up their faces in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips against the mirror, leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would do it again. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls into the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the
maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

Alligator Shoes

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!"

The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll catch yourself a big one!"

Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator.

Later in the day, the shopkeeper was driving home when he spotted the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he saw a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She took aim, killed the creature and with a great deal of effort hauled it on to the swamp bank. Laying nearby were several more of the dead creatures.

The shopkeeper watched in amazement. Just then the blonde flipped the alligator on its back and, frustrated, shouts out, "Damn it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"

Late in the balmy night, unexpectedly, you came to me in my bed and what happened there. . .still leaves a tingling sensation in me.

You appeared out of nowhere and shamelessly, without reservation, you laid on my naked body without guilt or humiliation.

You drove me crazy until you had sucked me dry.

Only after you were finally satisfied did I fall asleep, but today, when I woke up, you were gone.

I've searched for you everywhere, to no avail.

My sheets still bear witness to last night's events. . .as does my body, which still shows your mark. . .making it that much harder to forget you.

Tonight I promise to remain awake. . .in wait for you . . .and as soon as you appear. . .I will grab you and never let you go.

This time you won't disappear.

And I won't rest until I squeeze the life out of you. . .and destroy you once and for all. . .you damned mosquito!
