This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?' “No, Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.” After a brief pause, daddy says, “But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.” “Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now.” Brief Pause. “Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. put the phone down on the table, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway.” “Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.” A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone. “I did it, Daddy.” “And what happened, honey?” “Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed With no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn't moving at all” “Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?” “He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. but I guess he didn't know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.” Long Pause Longer Pause Even Longer Pause Then Daddy says, “Swimming pool? .........…” “Is this 486-5731?” “No, I think you have the wrong number...…” _____ Snake and the Frog <div> A man went fishing one morning but after a short time he ran out of worms. Then he saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait. Knowing the snake couldn't bite him with the frog in his mouth he grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in his bait bucket. </div> <div>Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, the man grabbed his bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in it's mouth. The snake's eyes rolled back, he went limp. The man released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog. A little later, the fisherman felt a nudge on his foot. There was that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.</div> _____ Q&A About Retirees Q: When is a retiree's bedtime?

A: If you cut classes, no one calls your parents. _____ Mom A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son." He answered, "That's okay." "I know it's silly," she said, "but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy." She then went through the checkout. And as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom." The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him. Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries. "That comes to $121.85," said the clerk. "How come so much? I only bought 5 items." The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your mother said you'd be paying for her things, too." _____ <div> They Need a Solo Woman! Tom had been in the liquor business for 25 years. Finally  sick of the stress, he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska, as far from humanity as possible.   He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet. After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone  knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there.   "Name's Lars, your neighbor from forty miles up the road.Having a Christmas party Friday night... Thought you might like to come. About 5:00."   "Great", says Tom, "after six months out here I' m ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."   As Lars is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you.....be some drinkin'."   "Not a problem" says Tom. "After 25 years in the business,  I can drink with the best of 'em."   Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."   "Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there, Thanks again."   "More'n likely be some wild sex, too,"   "Now that's really not a problem" says Tom, warming to the idea. "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"   "Don't much matter .. Just gonna be the two of us." _____ </div> <div> <blockquote type="cite"> <div> <div align="center">Giving Up Wine </div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>I was accosted by a dirty, shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. </div> <div>. </div> <div>I took out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money will you buy wine instead of dinner?" </div> <div> "No," she said "I had to stop drinking." </div> <div>"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food"? </div> <div> "No, I don't waste time shopping." </div> <div></div> <div>"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food"?</div> <div> "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. </div> <div>"Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you the money.

Woody Allen _____ <div> Duh Bubba had been going to Last Ditch University for 11 years and just couldn't graduate. One day, the dean of students calls Bubba into his office and said, "Bubba, we're going to give you the opportunity to graduate. In a  month, at half time of the homecoming football game, we are going to bring  you out on the field and ask you one question. If you get it right, you get your degree. If you get it wrong, you have to go home without it and not come back."   Bubba agreed to this and ran off to start studying.  He studied night and day for a month.  Finally the day came.  It was a special day, with homecoming and Bubba's shindig. The whole stadium was packed with students and alumni, all waiting to see how Bubba would do.    The dean stepped up and said, "Bubba, are you ready for your question?"   Bubba said he was.   The dean said, "Bubba, what is 3 X 3?"   Bubba thought about it for about ten minutes and then finally stepped up to the microphone and said, "9?"   An AAAWWWWHHH went up from the crowd!! Before the dean could respond, thousands of the students and alumni of jumped up and screamed,  "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!!" _____ </div>   The Blonde Diet <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="488" border="0"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> <td bgcolor="#ffffcc"><div align="center"><img title="" height="150" alt="" src="http://www.senditout3.com/images/h/blonde.gif" width="149"></div> <div>A blonde was terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks.

"I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day."</div> <div>"From hunger?"</div> <div> "No. From skipping." _____ </div></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>   Healthcare Today <div>Two patients limp into two different American medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement. The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day, has a time booked for surgery the next day and, within two days, is home recuperating. The second sees the family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another month and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then. Why the different treatment for the two patients? The first is a Golden Retriever. The second is a senior citizen. _____ </div>   Start every day off with a smile and get it over with. -- W. C.

I need to speak to him about something ...private," she said urgently, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.   </div> <div> "I'm afraid I can't," breathed the bartender, excited beyond belief.. "But i s there anything I can do for you?" "Yes, there is," she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender's lip and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. " It's very personal, and a very... intimate ... request." "What do you want from me?" the bartender managed to say, his breath heavy with desire. "I'll do it." "Well," she whispered, "There's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room." _____ </div> <div> Misinformation Little Cody was staying with his Grandma for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?" She was a little taken back, but she decided to just tell him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling". Little Cody just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to play with the other kids. </div> <div> A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called bunk beds. And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you."  _____ </div> Pancakes Brenda and Steve took their six-year-old son to the doctor. With some hesitation, they explained that although their little angel appeared to be in good health, they were concerned about his rather small "member." After examining the child, the doctor confidently declared, "Just feed him pancakes. That should solve the problem." The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast, there was a large stack of warm pancakes in the middle of the table. "Gee, Mom," he exclaimed. "For me?" "Just take two," Brenda replied. "The rest are for your father." ______ The Elderly Irish Virgin In a tiny village on the Irish coast lived an old lady, a virgin and very proud of it. Sensing that her final days were rapidly approaching, and desiring to make sure everything was in proper order when she dies, she went to the town's undertaker (who also happened to be the local postal clerk) to make proper "final" arrangements. As a last wish, she informed the? undertaker that she wanted the following inscription engraved on her tombstone: "BORN A VIRGIN, LIVED AS A VIRGIN, DIED A VIRGIN" Not long after, the old maid died peacefully.A few days after the funeral, as the undertaker--postal clerk went to prepare the tombstone that the lady had requested, it became quite apparent that the tombstone that she had selected was much too small for the wording that she had chosen. He thought long and hard about how he could fulfil the old maid's final request, considering the very limited space available on the small piece of stone. For days, he agonized over the dilemma. But finally his experience as a postal worker allowed him to come up with what he thought was the appropriate solution to the problem. The virgin's tombstone was finally completed and duly engraved: "RETURNED UNOPENED" _____ <div> <div align="left"> Greeks and Italians A Greek and Italian were sitting in a Starbuck's one day discussing who had the superior culture. Over triple lattes, the Greek guy says, "Well, we have the Parthenon." Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, "We have the Coliseum." The Greek retorts, "We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics." The Italian, nodding agreement, says, "But we built the Roman Empire." And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality the Greek says, "We invented sex!" The Italian replies, "Yes, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women!" _____ </div> </div> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_c50af125-cc69-4981-a630-f66ee5f56163"> <div> Men are like ... laxatives ...They irritate the sh-t out of you. bananas ...

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary Day 983 of my captivity.  My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.  They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!  There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of  "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.  I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.  The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.  For now.... _____            Useful Math Conversions <div dir="ltr" align="left"> 1.  Ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter =  Eskimo Pi 2.  2000 pounds of Chinese soup = Won ton 3.  1 millionth of a mouthwash = 1 microscope 4.  Time between slipping on a peel & hitting the ground = 1 bananosecond 5.  Weight an evangelist carries with God = 1 billigram 6.  Time it takes to sail 220 yds at 1 nautical mile/hr = Knotfurlong 7.  16.5' in the Twilight Zone = 1 Rod 8.  Half a large intestine = 1 semicolon 9.  1,000,000 aches = 1 megahurt 10.

One day Wally didn't show up. Max figured maybe he had a cold or some such. But after Wally hadn't shown up for a week, Max really got worried. However, the only time they ever got together anymore (they used to play a lot of golf together) was at the park, and Max couldn't remember where Wally lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him. A month passed and Max figured old Wally had gone to his heavenly reward, but one day Max approached the park, and there sat Wally! Max was very excited to see him. Then he said, "For crying out loud Wally, what happened to you???" Wally replied, "I've been in jail." "Jail?," cried Max. "What in the world for?" "Well," Wally said, "You know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where we sometimes get coffee?" "Yeah" said Max, "I remember her. What about her?" "Well one day last month she got mad at me, and to get even, she charged me with rape. I was so proud that everyone would think an old fart like me could still do it, that when I got into court, I pled guilty." The judge then took a good look at me and gave me 30 days for perjury." _____ Politically Correct Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America, Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as "HILLBILLIES."

They had shared everything. They had talked about everything They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll." The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. "Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?" "Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the dolls." _____ Always There A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side...You know what?" "What dear?" she gently asks, smiling as her heart begins to fill with warmth. "I think you're bad luck.

"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz." A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender  ("la computadora"), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half  your paycheck on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador"), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are  the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a white bag on the seat next to Sally. "What's in the bag?" asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the white bag and said, "It's a box of chocolates. I got it for my husband."

It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together. Carl Zwanzig _____ Rodney Dangerfield Short Takes My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg. It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass! My wife isn't very bright. The other day she was at the store, and just as she was heading for our car, someone stole it! I said, "Did you see the guy that did it?" She said, "No, but I got the license plate." Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home. A girl phoned me and said, "Come on over. There's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home! A hooker once told me she had a headache. I went to a massage parlor. It was self service. If it weren't for pick-pocketers, I'd have no sex life at all. I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?" She said, "No, I hate myself now." My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves. I was such an ugly baby, when I was born the Dr. slapped my Mother. I went to see my Dr, Dr.Vinnie Goomba. He asked if I had this before? I said yes. He said well you got it again. I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning. The other day I came home and a guy was jogging, naked. I asked "Why?". He said, "Because you came home early." At my age, I'm envious of a stiff wind. My wife is such a bad cook, in my house we pray after the meal. My wife likes to talk on the phone during sex; she called me from Chicago last night. _______ A Funny (Sort of) Lawyer Joke One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop, and he got out to investigate. He asked the first man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "Well," the lawyer said, "come with me to my house, and I'll feed you." "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the lawyer said. Turning to the other poor man he said, "You come with us also." The second man cried, "But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me!" "Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high!" ______ Choosing a Wife A man wants to get married. He's having trouble choosing among three likely candidates.He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money. The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, gets new make up, and buys several new outfits and dresses up for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man is impressed. The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts.She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed. The third invests the money in the stock market.She earns several times the $5,000.She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man is impressed. The man thinks for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her. Then he marries the one with the biggest boobs. ______                                              "Say, Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford a personalized license plate, so he went and changed his name to J3L2404? -- Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson in Fargo _______ The difference between a mistress and a wife is the difference between day and night. _______                         15 Reasons Why It's Good to be a Woman 1.

I figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.  I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.  My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.  I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.  Next was a job in a shoe factory. I tried, but I just didn't fit in.  I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.  I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.  So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.  After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian, but there was no future in it.  My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind. _______   When you come to a fork in the road, take it. -- Yogi Berra _____   A sweetheart is a bottle of wine.

They both continued looking in amazement as a wheezy old man with a scruffy beard, wearing a dirty tee-shirt, pushed a button, entered the opened walls into a small room, and then the walls closed behind him. Small circular numbers began to light up above the walls sequentially, and then the numbers lighted up in reverse order. The mom and daughter gazed in awe. Finally, the walls opened up again and a six-foot, blond, buff young man in tight jeans stepped out.  The wide-eyed mom sighed, and said quietly to her daughter... "Go get you father!
