He finished with the Latin phrase, "Tuti Hominous" - Blessed be mankind. A women's rights group approached the Pope the next day. They commented that the Pope blessed all mankind, but not womankind. So the next day, after his sermon, the Pope concluded by saying, "Tuti Hominous et tuti Feminous" - Blessed be mankind and womankind. The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope. They said that they noticed that he blessed mankind and womankind, and asked if he could also bless 'gay' people. The Pope said, 'Yes.' The next day, he concluded his sermon with "Tuti Homenous et Tuti Feminous et Tuti Fruity." ©¿©--------------------ADVERTISEMENT---------------------------©¿© LIKE MY LIST?

He hadn't had much sleep and should not have been driving. He started to doze off but caught himself just in time to see two Yankees in the road. He slammed on the brakes but to no avail. He hit both of them. One went through the windshield and landed in the back seat and the other bounced off the grill and landed in a field 100 feet away. In a panic he called the Arkansas State Police on his cell phone for help. When the State Trooper arrived the guy explained, "Oh my God, officer I'm so sorry I was too tired to be driving and I killed these guys. I can't go to jail, I've got a wife and three kids. What am I going to do?" The trooper looked at him and in that wonderful Southern drawl said, "Boy, don't you fret one bit.

In my great caninical wisdom, I have done some research and have now developed a list with which to convey these doggy pet peeves. 1. When you run away in the middle of a perfectly good leg humping. 2. Blaming your farts on me... not funny. 3. Yelling at me for barking... I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG YOU IDIOT!! 4. How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all over everything while you're gone. (Have you noticed that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat?) 5. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway? 6. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it. 7. Yelling at me for rubbing my ass on your carpet. Why'd you buy carpet? 8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet. 9. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous. 10. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed my fur? 11. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home. 12. When you insist on picking up the piles in the yard. Do you realize how far behind schedule that puts me? 13. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back there. 14. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain. 15. Invisible fences. Why do you insist on screwing with us? ©¿©--------------------ADVERTISEMENT---------------------------©¿© Get your condoms here! <a href=" http://ads.paulsfunhouse.com/5.html ">Click</a> ©¿©--------------------------HUMOUR---------------------------------©¿© <A Classic!> Three Mothers, a blonde, brunette, and a redhead were all talking about their daughters.

The Jew pulled out a deck of cards and grinned and said, "I brought cards. I can play poker, solitaire, gin and any number of games." The Polack was sitting quietly aside, grinning to himself. The other two took notice and asked, "Why are you so smug? What did you bring?" The Polack pulled out a box of tampons and smiled. He said, "I brought these."

NO??????? Check it out at: http://lists.paulsfunhouse.com ] This Week's Laughing Stalk by Erik Deckers But I'm Still the World's Strongest Humorist I've been writing humor columns for over five years, and I've met, corresponded with, and even become friends with other humor columnists around the world. Some of them are extremely successful, some became successful while I've known them, and some are just beginning their writing careers. I've even helped a few aspiring writers get published for the first time. We've traded laughs, tips, and ideas over the years. I've co-written a column with Jennifer Layton of J Street fame, traded name placement in columns with Joe Lavin, and critiqued pieces for a number of different writers. I've met Garrison Keillor of Public Radio International's "A Prairie Home Companion" on two different occasions, I have an autographed photo of Dave Barry on my office wall, and I am in the same humor writers group as Bruce Cameron, author of "Eight Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" which made the New York Times Bestseller's List. I hate them all. Okay, maybe hate is too strong a word. How about despise, detest, or loathe. Don't get me wrong. They're all wonderful people, and I even consider a couple of the non-famous ones my online friends. But I would think much more favorably about all of them if they weren't humorists. But how can this be a problem, I ask myself? Garrison Keillor is a kind man who offered me some advice in the early stages of my writing career ("Write about current events," he told me). Dave Barry sent me his autographed photo after I asked him to join another humor writers group. Jennifer Layton and I email each other on a regular basis, and I've corresponded with Bruce Cameron on a number of occasions. He even politely declined an invitation to join a humor website I was creating. Even with all these good feelings running rampant throughout the humor community, do you think I'm alone in my professional envy of other humor writers? Hell no. We all hate each other. It's true: every humor writer everywhere hates every other humor writer. Oh sure, we all admire each others' creativity and talent, and publicly state how much we love each other's work. But beneath the surface, every humor writer is dripping with envy. It oozes out of our pores. Despite all our well-wishes to our fellow humorists, we secretly despise each other. We're tired of hearing about everyone's book deals, book tours, and requests to write screenplays. I've even heard a rumor (which I started) that one humor writer is even being interviewed personally by Disney chairman Michael Eisner to be his office coffee table. We want these successes to be our own, and we hate each other for getting what we think should be rightfully ours. So late at night, when we're alone, our jealousy bubbles to the surface, and we're consumed by our loathing. We draw grotesque pictures of our competition being eaten alive by weasels. We whine and cry at our computers, "Why him? Why not me?!" At least the others do. I'm not so melodramatic. I just sign them up for subscriptions to book clubs and porn magazines. Why do we do it? Why do we look at our fellow humorists as competition rather than teammates and friends? Why can't we be truly happy for them? Because we're all afraid everyone else is funnier than us. All of us. Even the top professionals suffer from a deep-seated envy of other humor writers. Even though they're friends, Garrison Keillor grinds his teeth, cries out "I'm not making this up!" in his sleep, and dreams of the day he can dunk Dave Barry in a vat of boiling oil. And Dave Barry weeps nightly as he delivers "the news from Lake Okeechobee" on a second-hand karaoke machine, and throws darts at Keillor's publicity photos, while he downs slug after slug of homemade beer. It doesn't matter who supports us, tells us we're great, or that we're funnier than anyone else they've ever read. In addition to envy, we're all have self-esteem issues that makes us believe the only people who find us funny are the people who are supposed to: our parents, spouses, and close friends. In the past, I've been compared to Dave Barry and Lewis Grizzard, as in "Gee, you're much bigger than Dave Barry is," or "Wow, you're not quite as dead as Lewis Grizzard." Some people have even gone so far as to say they like me better than Dave Barry. And these are always great to hear. My head swells as big as Rhode Island when someone says my name on the same day they mention Dave Barry, let alone making a direct comparison to him. Trust me, any comparisons to Dave Barry and Lewis Grizzard are like gold to any humor writer, and they're always vastly appreciated, because we need our egos stroked constantly. But there's a part of us that always thinks "This person must have forgotten his insanity medication. There's no way I'm as funny as those guys." We humor writers are a neurotic lot, because we worry about everything. We make jokes about anything, but worry that we make them about the wrong thing. We try to push the envelope on what's funny, but worry that we'll offend and insult our readers. We love comparisons to "the Big Boys" -- oh man, do we love comparisons to the Big Boys! -- but worry that we'll forever be in their shadows. But don't cry for us. This is the path we've chosen: making other people laugh in the face of adversity, for little or no pay. So if you ever meet a humor writer, just pat him or her on the shoulder, give a knowing nod, and say, "I understand how you feel, and I appreciate what you do." And slip him 20 bucks, you big cheapskate! It's not like we get rich doing this! -- Erik Deckers is in sales and marketing by day, but at night he dons a cape and mask and. . . well, he doesn't fight crime so much as he just runs around his house making kung fu noises. He is shy, and doesn't want people to make fun of him. At other times, he writes a weekly humor column, which can be found at http://www.kconline.com/deckers.
