<A Classic!>

A guy has a crush on a girl at his work. He is dying to ask
her out on a date, but every time he sees her, he gets the
biggest erection ever. There is nothing he can do to control
it.

After some time, he decides to get her phone number and call
her up. This way, he won't have to see her and won't get too
excited. He ends up asking her out and she says yes.

He figures what he'll do is tie his penis to his leg so when
he sees her it'll be tied to his leg and she'll never notice
it.

He gets to her house. When he knocks on her door, she
answers the door in a sheer teddy.

He kicks her in the face.

Sid and Al were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. "Sid," asked Al,
"Are there any Jews in Mexico?"  I don't know," Sid replied. "Why
don't we ask the waiter?" When the waiter came by, Al asked him,
"Are there any Mexican Jews?"  "I don't know senor, let me ask," the
waiter replied, and he went into the kitchen. He returned in a few
minutes and said, "No, sir. No Mexican Jews."  "Are you sure?" Al asked.
"I will check again, senor." the waiter replied and went back to the
kitchen.

While he was still gone, Sid said, "I cannot believe there are no Jews
in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere."  When the waiter
returned he said, "Senor, no Mexican Jews."  "Are you really sure?"
Al asked again. "I cannot believe there are no Mexican Jews."

"Senor, I ask everyone," the waiter replied exasperated. "We
have orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews and grape Jews, but
no one ever hear of Mexican Jews!"

���--------------------------HUMOUR---------------------------------���

One evening, after attending the theater, two gentlemen
were walking down the avenue when they observed a rather
well dressed and attractive young lady walking ahead of
them. One of them turned to the other and remarked, "I'd
give $250.00 to spend the night with that woman."
Much to their surprise, the young lady overheard the
remark, turned around, and replied, "I'll take you up on
that offer."

She had a neat appearance and a pleasant voice, so after
bidding his companion good night, the man accompanied
the young lady to her apartment.

The following morning the man presented her with $125.00
as he prepared to leave. She demanded the rest of the
money, stating "If you don't give me the other $125.00,
I'll sue you for it."

He laughed, saying "I'd like to see you get it on these
grounds."

Within a few days, he was surprised when he received a
summons ordering his presence in court as a defendant in
a lawsuit. He hurried to his lawyer and explained the
details of the case.

His lawyer said "She can't possibly get a judgment
against you on such grounds, but it will be interesting
to see how her case will be presented."

After the usual preliminaries, the lady's lawyer
addressed the court as follows: "Your honor, my client,
this lady, is the owner of a piece of property, a garden
spot, surrounded by a profuse growth of shrubbery, which
property she agreed to rent to the defendant for a
specified length of time for the sum of $250.00. The
defendant took possession of the property, used it
extensively for the purposes for which it was rented,
but upon evacuating the premises, he paid only $125.00,
one-half of the amount agreed upon. The rent was not
excessive, since it is restricted property, and we ask
judgment be granted against the defendant to assure
payment of the balance."

The defendant's lawyer was impressed and amused by the
way his opponent had presented the case. His defense,
therefore was somewhat different from the way he
originally planned to present it. "Your honor," he
said, "my client agrees that the lady has a fine piece
of property, that he did rent such property for a time,
and a degree of pleasure was derived from the
transaction. However, my client found a well on the
property around which he placed his own stones, sunk a
shaft, and erected a pump, all labor performed
personally by him. We claim these improvements to the
property were sufficient to offset the unpaid amount,
and that the plaintiff was adequately compensated for
the rental of said property. We, therefore, ask that
judgment not be granted."

The young lady's lawyer answered thus "Your honor, my
client agrees that the defendant did find a well on her
property. However, had the defendant not known that the
well existed, he would never have rented the property.
Also, upon evacuating the premises, the defendant
removed the stones, pulled out the shaft, and took the
pump with him. In doing so, he not only dragged the
equipment through the shrubbery, but left the hole much
larger than it was prior to his occupancy, making the
property much less desirable to others. We, therefore,
ask that judgment be granted."

In the Judge's decision, he provided for two
options: "pay the $125.00 or have the equipment detached
and provided to the plaintiff for damages."

The defendant wrote a check immediately!

���--------------ON THE ROAD WITH AN IDIOT---------------���

The planning process for building a new road is an engineer's 
nightmare.  In an ideal world, the road would be constructed through the 
shortest distance between destination and origination points, allowing 
leniency to adapt to natural earth contours (sometimes it would be better 
to go around a hill, rather than through or over it.)  The road would be 
appropriately wide enough, properly banked for optimum safety, and would 
decrease traveling hassles for motorists.  In an ideal world.

In reality, the final project depends on pork barrel politics (the road 
just happens to go out of the way twenty miles to pass by the corporation 
that just donated to the senator's campaign), environmental impact (we 
don't want to endanger any unwanted species like the four-eared, 
odd-spotted, howling oriental owl), wet lands reclamation (we have do dig 
big ugly holes along side the road way which largely sit empty of water but 
do attract snakes and a lot of weeds), and the lowest bidder (unfortunately 
you usually get what you pay for.)

I could go on and on about the CONSTRUCTION ZONE, but the twilight zone 
music is playing again on my radio, it appears the traffic is again opening 
up to a normal number of congested lanes, and the cars up ahead are 
actually starting to move faster than a ninety-year old grandmother in a 
wheelchair.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel�either that or 
I'm in the wrong damned lane again.

But next week, I'll be back on the road again.

A man has been told he can't have his nipple pierced
with a wedding ring during his marriage ceremony.

The Dutch registrar in charge says it would be
unhygienic and their guests wouldn't like it.

Dorus Minting says he is disappointed by the decision
but will have the piercing done at a pub ceremony
afterwards.

Mr Minting, 37, from Millingen aan de Rijn, said he
wanted to do something special for his marriage to
Sabine.

He told De Telegraaf: "I hate wearing rings on my
fingers. By wearing my wedding ring close to my heart I
would have a special link with Sabine."

But the registrar Jan Looijen said: "Putting a ring through
a man's nipple is a very intimate and medical act. I don't
think such a ceremony would be appreciated by the rest of
the wedding guests."

[They did agree to a nose-ring however!]

A Girls Prayer

Lord Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who's willy's thick and long.

One who thinks before he speaks,
When promises to call, he won't wait weeks.
I pray that he is gainfully employed,
And when I spend his cash, he wont be annoyed.

Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! send me a man who will make love to my mind,
Knows just what to say, when I ask "How big's my behind?"

One who'll make love till my body's a twitchin,
In the hall, the loo, the garden and kitchen!
I pray that this man will love me no end,
And never attempts to shag my best friend.

And as I kneel and pray by my bed,
I look at the wanker you sent me instead.

Amen.

A Boy's Prayer:

Lord, I pray for a lady with big tits and a fridge full of beer.

Incidents And Accidents
by Kim Burke

Why Do Women Get Frazzled?

I was asked this question the other day and thought the answer needed had to
do with specific reasons such as: Having to be two places at the same time,
forgetting to take something out of the freezer for dinner and/or getting
peanut butter out of a child's hair without chopping it all up.

Apparently I misinterpreted the question.  The question wasn't about what
made us, as women, frazzled but why we actually get frazzled.  What is the
psychology behind becoming stress-addled and why do we let ourselves go down
this road all too often?

This is a different question entirely, isn't it?  It is a question that has
various answers for everyone.  On one hand, one woman may have a very
organized life and anything outside of her well-prepared day is too much for
her to handle so she gets frazzled.  Being orderly is a part of her genetic
make-up and personality.  It cannot be helped.

On the other hand, another woman may be downright lazy and anything that
detracts from her lazy schedule is too much for her to handle so she gets
frazzled.  Being lazy is a part of her genetic make-up and personality.  It
cannot be helped.

Perhaps you are like me and you sit around worrying and wondering about
being frazzled even when you are not and it completely drains your energy
thus making you frazzled about absolutely nothing.  Being mentally
challenged is a part of my make-up.  It cannot be helped.

These are just a few surface answers to a very deep question.  However, if
you really want to get down to it, here are some of the reasons women get
frazzled:

We get frazzled because the world doesn't revolve around us and it should.
When we say something, we should be listened to.  When we have an opinion,
it should be taken seriously.  When we have a need, it should be tended to
promptly.  Doesn't the phone and energy companies know that you are home
only on Sunday afternoons between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM?  You are probably
taking a nap but if they are quiet, you won't mind them repairing your
necessities at this time.

Do you think soccer moms really want to be soccer moms?  Ask them what they
really want.  It shouldn't surprise you.  They would like to be home for
more than an hour a day.  They would also like to go out to eat dinner
without their child bouncing up and down on the chair at the restaurant.  If
they must be soccer moms, they would like to sit in a shaded area on a
comfortable lounge chair with a mini bar.  Is this too much to ask?  And you
wonder why we, as women, get frazzled.  It is no wonder!

When we signed up to become wonder woman it didn't mean slave woman.  It is
not a joy to clean the house, work full-time, tend to the kids and still be
expected to be turned on by a man who can waltz through the door at exactly
5:15 PM each day, plop himself on the sofa, channel flip the rest of the
evening and still make more money than you.

Plus, while you are cooking and doing laundry so everyone can have clean
clothes the next day, he is in the den wrestling with the kids for exactly
fifteen minutes yet never misses a beat of his favorite television program.
This is all it takes for him to be the golden parent.  It just isn't fair.
We, as women, get to be the ones who are scowled at when we ask, "Who wants
to help mommy clean up the kitchen after dinner?"  This brings a barrage of
frowns from everyone in the household, including dear old daddy.

No wonder it is called 'Mother Earth'.  There is no harder job or greater
responsibility.  Is it any wonder women aren't frazzled 24/7?  There is
hardly enough time for pleasure and when there is time you are so tired you
opt for sleep instead.  No wonder God took a day off.  God must have been
one tired God!

Our society's motto is: Be the best.  This modern creed would like for us to
believe work is number one and everything else is secondary.  It would like
us to believe we do not need any time off and that financial gain proves
worthiness in society.  Now, I'll be the first to jump up and say I enjoy
money.  Boy, do I ever!  However, what happened to softball games after
church on Sunday and catching fireflies after the sun goes down?  I haven't
seen a firefly yet this summer.  Are they still around?  If not, why wasn't
I informed?

Sigh.

In order for many women to get off Prozac, leave a state of continual
anxiety behind and balance out the scales once more, we need to change
society's mind and this begins by changing our own.  Remember when our
parents would say, "If so-and-so jumped off of a bridge, would you?"  Yeah,
we should have listened.  Instead of trying to be what we believe the world
expects us to be, we need to go at our own pace and be who we really are.
Many women don't even know the surface of who they are because they are
doing what they believe they are supposed to be doing.  I have fallen into
this category many times throughout my life.  So have my friends.  To be
fair, men have, also.

Try this: Tonight after everyone gets home, throw yourself on the floor and
start crying.  Your family will totally freak out.  When one of your
children asks you what is wrong, tell them you don't want to prepare dinner
tonight.  Tell them you are tired and you want to sit on the back porch and
read for a little while but you have so much to do and you never get to do
what you want to do.  Kids will respond to you being human.  They are human
every day.

Your kids will immediately want to make dinner for you.  Who cares if they
make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?  How many times have you made them
eat it?  They will be so happy to help out.  It will make them feel
important and it will give you a little break.  This is why we call it a
family.

I'll even bet big daddy will fold up the load of clothes in the dryer and
then sit with you on the porch while you read and rub your shoulders for, at
least, fifteen minutes.

Sometimes frazzled women need to give up.  Sometimes it is the only way to
get things done.
