A Dallas to LA flight was passing over Arizona when the captain came on the intercom. "click... Uhhh... Folks, this is the captain, if you look out the left side of the aircraft you'll see the famous Meteor Crater." A blonde was heard exclaiming, "Wow! Lucky it just missed the road!"

A rather upset gentleman is in a competitive golf match with a friend who is ahead by a couple of strokes. 'Boy! I'd give anything to sink this putt,' the golfer mumbles to himself. Just then, a stranger walks up beside him and whispers, 'Would you be willing to give up one-fourth of your sex life?' Thinking that the man is crazy and his answer will be meaningless, the golfer also feels that, maybe, this is a good omen, so he says, 'Sure,' and sinks the putt. Two holes later, he mumbles to himself again, 'Gee, I sure would like to get an eagle on this one' The same stranger is at his side again and whispers, 'Would it be worth giving up another fourth of your sex life?' Shrugging, the golfer replies, 'Okay,' and makes an eagle. On the final hole, the golfer needs another eagle to win. Without waiting for him to say anything, the stranger quickly moves to his side and says, 'Would winning this match be worth giving up the rest of your sex life?' 'Definitely,' the golfer replies, and he makes the eagle. As the golfer is walking to the clubhouse, the stranger walks alongside him and says, 'I haven't really been fair with you because you don't know who I am. I'm Satan, and from this day forward you will have no sex life.' 'Nice to meet you,' the golfer replies, 'I'm Father O'Malley

After closing time at the bar, a drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet. "What's that big brass gong?" one of the guests asked. 'It's not a gong. It's a talking clock,' the drunk replied. "A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend. "Yup," replied the drunk. "How's it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it. "Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave the gong an ear-shattering pound and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment....... Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "You JERK! It's three-fifteen in the morning!"

To avoid offending anyone I'll tell this one gender neutral. Read it whichever way makes you laugh. A person finds an old lamp on a beach and gives it a rub. A genie pops out and says "You have freed me after many years and to show my gratitude I will grant you one wish. But know this, mortal, whatever you wish for, your ex-spouse will receive the same in double measure." The person thinks for a moment and asks, "Can you beat me half to death?"

Mildred, the church gossiper and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her 'extra curricular activities' (gossiping) but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused LARRY, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told LARRY (and several others) 'That everyone - anyone - seeing it there would know what he was doing.' LARRY, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend or deny ... he said nothing. Later that evening, LARRY quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house ... walked home ... and left it there all night!!!

A Homeland Security representative stopped at a ranch and talked with an old rancher. He told the rancher, 'I need to inspect your ranch for your water allocation' The old rancher said, ' Okay but don't go in that field over there.' The Homeland Security agent said, ' Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me. See this card? The card means I am allowed to go wherever I wish on any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?' The old rancher nodded politely and went about his chores. Later, the old rancher heard a loud scream and saw the Homeland Security person running for the fence and close behind was the rancher's bull. The bull was gaining on the Homeland Security person with every step. The agent was clearly terrified, so the old rancher immediately threw down his tools, ran to the fence, and shouted out "YOUR CARD...YOUR CARD..SHOW HIM YOUR CARD!!"

It's good to be a guy * A 5 day vacation requires only one suitcase * Bathroom lines are 80% shorter * We can open all our own jars * Phone conversations last 30 seconds * We know useful stuff about tanks and airplanes * Old friends don't care if we've lost or gained weight * Our last name stays put. * We can leave a hotel room bed unmade. * We can kill our own food. * The garage is all ours. * We get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtful- ness. * We can be showered and ready in 10 minutes. * If someone forgets to invite us to something, they can still be our friend. * Our underwear costs $6.50 for a pack of 3. * We don't have to shave below our neck. * If we're 34 and single, no one notices. * Chocolate is just another snack. * Where and when we pee doesn't effect our emotional well- being. * We can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger seat. * Flowers & duct tape - and we can fix everything. * Three pair of shoes are more than enough. * We can say anything and not worry about what people think. * We can whip our shirt off on a hot day. * Car mechanics tell us the truth. * We don't give a flip if someone doesn't notice our new haircut. * We can watch a game in silence for hours without our buddy thinking "He must be mad at me." * One mood, all the time. * We can admire Clint Eastwood without having to starve ourselves to look like him. * Gray hair and wrinkles add character. * Wedding dress; $2000, Tux rental; 100 bucks. * We don't care if someone is talking behind our back. * We don't pass on the dessert and then mooch off someone else's. * If we retain water, it is in a canteen. * The remote is all ours. * We need not pretend we're "freshening up" to use the bathroom. * We can go to the bathroom alone. * If we don't call our buddy when we said we would, he won't tell our friends I've changed. * If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, we might become lifelong buddies. * If something mechanical didn't work, we can bash it with a hammer and throw it across the room. * New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle our feet.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, 'SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD. WELL.. YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE. MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT. THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED EAST AURORA HIGH SCHOOL "YES. YES, I DID. I'M "TOMCAT" , HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE. "WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?" I ASKED. HE ANSWERED , "IN 1966. WHY DO YOU ASK?" "YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!", I EXCLAIMED. HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY, AND THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT ASSED, GRAY-HAIRED, DECREPIT S.O.B. ASKED, "WHAT SUBJECT DID YOU TEACH?"

An Iman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over. "So," says the cop to the driver, "where have ya been?" "Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk. "Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening." "I did all right," the drunk says with a smile. "Did you know," says the cop, standing straight, and folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?" "Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "for a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

Dear Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Enclosed you will find my 2008 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes. Please note, an attached article from the USA Today newspaper, wherein you will see the Pentagon (Department of Defense) is paying $171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat. I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6) hammers valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot, bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00. Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the 'Presidential Election Fund', as noted on my return. You can do this most inexpensively by sending them one (1) 1.5" Phillips pan head screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today newspaper detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 per each for 1.5" Phillips Pan Head Screws). One screw is herein enclosed for your convenience. It has indeed been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year. Kindest Regards, A Satisfied USA Taxpayer

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to donate some of her own. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honour their secret... After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty! One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, 'Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?' 'My darling,' she replied, 'I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.'

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight #293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax...OH, MY LORD!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen I'm so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in Coach yelled,"That's nothing, You should see the back of mine."

Custody Hearing A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Fulton County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the Child Welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Atlanta Falcons, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Homer Simpson's Words of Wisdom: Ah, beer. The cause of and the solution to all of life's problems. Save me, Jeebus! I'm not impressed easily. Wow! A blue car! Well, crying isn't gonna bring him back, unless your tears smell like dog food. I don't hate your mother, I just won't be sad when she dies. Who are you? Why am I here? I want answers now or I want them eventually! Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You/re making a scene'. Trying is the first step toward failure. Because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everybody does everything! That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college! You know those balls that they put on car antennas so you can find them in the parking lot? Those should be on every car! Marge, I'm going to miss you so much. And it's not just the sex! It's also the food preparation. When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces, I just know they're about to jab me with something. America's health care system is second only to Japan, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, well...all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay! It's like something out of that "twilighty" show about that zone. Whenever Marge turns on one of her "non-violent" programs, I take a walk. I go to a bar, I pound a few, then I stumble home in the mood for love... It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day. English? Who needs that? I'm never going to England! Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what? A few measly cents, not even enough to buy one beer. Wait a minute, lemme count and make sure...not even close! Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you? You're saying butt-kisser like it's a bad thing! Well, let's just call them, uh, Mr. X and Mrs. Y. So anyway, Mr. X would say, 'Marge, if this doesn't get your motor running, my name isn't Homer J. Simpson.' I know what you're saying, Bart. When I was young, I wanted an electric football machine more than anything else in the world, and my parents bought it for me, and it was the happiest day of my life. Well, goodnight! Apu, you got any Skittle Brau? Never mind, just give me some Duff and a pack of Skittles. You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel. Mmmmmm - 52 slices of American cheese. Hey, I asked for ketchup - I'm eatin' salad here! When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, you know like that movie... "Spaceballs". But instead it was dark and disturbing, like that movie "Police Academy". I think Mr. Smithers picked me for my motivational skills. Everyone always says they have to work twice as hard when I'm around! Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie, and one to listen. Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand! I'm trying to fix your mother's camera. Easy, easy - Hmmm. I think I need a bigger drill. You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'. Oh, everything's too damned expensive these days. Like this Bible. It cost 15 bucks! And talk about a preachy book! Everybody's a sinner! Except this guy. Here's to alcohol - the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems. God bless those pagans. Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time, just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow! Well, good night! If you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers! You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine. Go ahead and play the blues if it'll make you happy. I'm a white male, age 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are. All right, let's not panic. I'll make the money by selling one of my livers. I can get by with one. Woo hoo! 350 dollars! Now I can buy 70 transcripts of Nightline! Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that. You know boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like women. You just have to read the manual and press the right button. I hope I didn't brain my damage! We'll die together, like a father and son should. Let us celebrate this agreement with the adding of chocolate to milk. We're gonna get a new TV. Twenty-one inch screen, realistic flesh tones, and a little cart so we can wheel it into the dining room on holidays! First you don't want me to get the pony, then you want me to take it back. Make up your mind! Son, a woman is a lot like a... a refrigerator! They're about six feet tall, 300 pounds. They make ice, and... um... Oh, wait a minute. Actually, a woman is more like a beer. Now what is a wedding? Well, Webster's dictionary describes a wedding as the process of removing weeds from one's garden. Now, Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals. Except the weasel. You can't go wrong with cocktail weenies. They look as good as they taste. And they come in this delicious red sauce. It looks like ketchup, it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain't ketchup! I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down." I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun! I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman! Oh, they have Internet on computers now. Marge I swear, I never thought that you would find out. Shut up, brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-Tip! I am so smart, I am so smart, S M R T, I mean S M A R T. I'm not gonna lie to you, Marge. See ya soon!

SMART ALEC ANSWER #5 -- It was mealtime during a flight on Hooters Airline. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked John, seated in front. "What are my choices?" John asked. "Yes or no," she replied. SMART ALEC ANSWER #4 -- A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat, she said, " Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub." S MART ALEC ANSWER #3 -- A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead." SMART ALEC ANSWER #2 -- The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket. SMART ALEC ANSWER #1 -- A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, "Low Bridge A head." Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

A young man wished to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's birthday, and as they had not been dating very long, after careful consideration he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note -- romantic, but not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he bought a pair of white gloves; the younger sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents first, he sealed his package and mailed it to his sweetheart along with this note: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darling, I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears short ones that are easy to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart. I wish I were there to put them on you for the first time, as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off, remember to blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. I hope you will wear them for me on Friday night. All my Love, Hollingsworth P.S The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing.

A couple, age 67, went to the doctor's office. The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"The man said, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?" The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said, "There is nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse." And he then charged them $32.00. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse, pay the doctor and leave. Finally the doctor asked, "Just what exactly are you trying to find out?" The old man said, "We're not trying to find out anything. She is married and we can't go to her house. I am married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $60.00 and the Hilton charges $75.00. We do it here for $32.00, and I get back $28.00 from Medicare for a visit to the doctor's office."

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table
four objects: a Bible, a silver dollar, a bottle of whisky and a Playboy magazine "I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum." The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold. "Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna run for Congress!

THE FINAL WISH OF A MARINE Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams and a tough old U.S. Marine Sergeant were captured by terrorists in Iraq . The leader of the terrorists told them he'd grant each of them one last request before they were beheaded and dragged naked through the streets. Katie Couric said, 'Well, I'm a Southerner, so I'd like one last plate of fried chicken.' The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chicken. Couric ate it all and said, 'Now I can die content.' Charlie Gibson said, 'I'm living in ' New York , so I'd like to hear the song, The Moon and Me, one last time.' The terrorist leader nodded to another terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag musicians and played the song. Gibson was satisfied. Brian Williams said, 'I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Maybe, someday, someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.' The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Williams dictated his comments. He then said, 'Now I can die happy.' The leader turned and said, 'And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your final wish? 'Kick me in the butt,' said the Marine. 'What?' asked the leader, 'Will you mock us in your last hour?' 'No, I'm NOT kidding. I want you to kick me in the butt,' insisted the Marine. So the leader shoved him into the yard and kicked him in the butt. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from inside his cammies and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he emptied his sidearm on six terrorists, then with his knife he slashed the throat of one, and with an AK-47, which he took, sprayed the rest of the terrorists killing another 11. In a flash, all of them were either dead or fleeing for their lives. As the Marine was untying Couric, Gibson, and Williams, they asked him, 'Why didn't you just shoot them all in the first place? Why did you ask him to kick you in the butt?' 'What?' replied the Marine, 'and have you three report that I was the aggressor... .?
