Just for Kicks.


"Give us a sense of humor, Give us the grace to see a joke, To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk."

Author Unknown.*

From " Stop me if you've heard this. " By Jim Holt.

"Jesus wept but did he laugh? .. I do not recall much laughter in the Gospels. "The total absence of humor from the Bible," Alfred North Whitehead once observed, " is one of the most singular things in all literature."

Isaac Newton is reported to have laughed precisely once in his life - when someone asked him what use he saw in Euclid's Elements.

Other reputed agelasts ( ones who never laugh ) include Jonathan Swift, William Gladstone, Margaret Thatcher, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."

Like love... laughter bridges the realms of the mental and the physical. " says Max Beerbohm in his 1920 essay " Laughter

"Laughter is like jogging on the inside. It's good for you. So laugh and let it infect every one around you."

Friends let not our lives become so sterile and savorless that even laughter will decide to leave us.

Where there is laughter there is always more health than sickness. Phyllis Bottome.


The simple truth is that happy people generally don't get sick. Bernie S. Siegel M.D.

Do not go about everyday like that ant under the load of a matchstick.

Even gorillas chuckle when tickled. So flash that friendly radiance of your unique smile.

'How many times do I have to tell you? I don't want you playing cricket outside my house! D'you understand?' The boy said nothing. 'I said, do you understand?' The boy remained silent and walked away. The irate householder turned to the other boy. 'He's not much of a talker, is he?''He's not much of a bowler either. He just put the ball through your window!'

There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at Tim's Grocery Store. The owner Tim doesn't know what Junior's problem is, but the boys like to tease him. They say he is two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles shy of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they offer Junior his choice between a nickel and a dime. He always takes the nickel, they say, because it's bigger.One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, Tim got him off to one side and said, "Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"Junior said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it!"

"You should be ashamed of yourself young man! Drinking is a Sin! Alcohol is the blood of the devil!" Now John gets pretty annoyed about this, and goes on the offensive. "How do you know this, Sister?" "My Mother Superior told me so.""But have you ever had a drink yourself? How can you be sure that what you are saying is right?" "Don't be ridiculous--of course I have never taken alcohol myself" "Then let me buy you a drink - if you still believe afterwards that it is evil I will give up drink for life" "How could I, a Nun, sit outside this public house drinking?!" "I'll get the barman to put it in a teacup for you, then no one will ever know."The Nun reluctantly agrees, so John goes inside to the bar. "Another pint for me, and a triple vodka on the rocks", then he lowers his voice and says to the barman "and could you put the vodka in a teacup?""Oh no! It's not that Nun again is it?"

Title: The Talk
A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had justopened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talkabout?'

STRANGER: 'Oh, I don't know,' 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.

LITTLE GIRL: 'OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - .Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

STRANGER: The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?

A FORGETFUL BARTENDER

A man walks into a bar and has a couple of beers. Once he is done the bartender tells him he owes $9.00.
"But I paid, don't you remember?" says the customer.
"Okay," says the bartender, "If you say you paid, you did."
The man then goes outside and tells the first person he sees that the bartender can't keep track of whether his customers have paid.
The second man then rushes in, orders a beer and later pulls the same stunt.
The barkeep replies, "If you say you paid, I'll take your word for it."
Soon the customer goes into the street, sees an old friend, and tells him how to get free drinks.
The man hurries into the bar and begins to drink high-balls when, suddenly, the bartender leans over sand says, "You know, a funny thing happened in here tonight. Two men were drinking beer, neither paid and both claimed that they did. The next guy who tries that is going to get punched in the face."
"Don't bother me with your troubles," the final patron responds. "Just give me my change and I'll be on my way."

I LOVE THIS DOCTOR. Q & A

Q: Should I cut down 0n meat and eat more fruits and vegetables.?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass ( green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get evenmore of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up.

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are the some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain..Good.

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: You're not listening...Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they are permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not. When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO cocoa beans. Another vegetable. It's the feel-good food around.

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey " Round is a shape"

Q: Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

AND REMEMBER:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonay in in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WHOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE."

So, the Irishman stood up to leve fell flat on his face.

He tried to stand one more ; same result.

Again, he fell flat on his face.

He crawled through the door and into his bedroom.

When he reached his bed he tried one more time to stand up.

This time he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly fell right into the bed and is sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

He was awakened the next morning to his wife standing over him, shouting,

" SO YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING AGAIN."

Putting on an innocent look, and intent on bluffing out he said,

" What makes you say that?"

You left your whelchair there again."

The IRS sends their auditor ( a nasty little man to audit a synagogue. The auditor is doing all the checks and then turns to Rabbi and says,

" I noticed that you buy a lot of candles'

" Yes " answered the Rabbi.

" Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings? " he asked.

" A good question," noted the Rabbi. " We actually save them up. When we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker and every now and then, they send us a free box of candles."

" Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his question actually had a practical answer. So he thought he'd try another question, in his obnoxious way...

" Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with the crumbs from the matzo balls."

" Ah yes, " replied the Rabbi calmly, " We actually collect up the crumbs, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then they send a box of matzo balls."

" Oh " replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi.

" Well, Rabbi," he went on " What do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcissions?"

" Yes, here to, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. " What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to the IRS.

" To the IRS ?" questioned the auditor in disbelief.

" Ah yes ," replied the Rabbi, " directly to the IRS...And about once a year, they send us a little prick like you..."

Arab and Jew:

An Arab needed a heart transplant, but prior to the surgery the doctors needed to store his blood type in case the need arises. Because the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally. so the call went out to a number of countries. Finally, a Jew was located who had the same blood type and who was willing to donate his blood to the Arab.

After the surgery, the Arab sent the Jew a thank-you card for giving his blood along with an expensive diamond and a new Rolls Royce car as a token of his appreciation.

Unfortunately, the Arab had to go through a correcive surgery once again. And his doctors called the Jew who was more than happy to donate his blood again.

After the second surgery, the arab sent the Jew a Thank You card and a box of Almond Roca sweets.

The Jew was shocked to see that the Arab this time did not acknowledge the Jew's kind gesture in the same way as he had done the first time. So he phoned the Arab and asked him why he had his expressed his appreciation in not a very generous manner.

The Arab replied:

" Yahabibi... I have Jewish blood now, remember..? "

A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner.

However, he was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:

" I got my first impression of the parish fro the first confession i heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled fro his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled.

As the days went on I learned that my people were not at like that and I had indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people".

Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk.

" I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived " said the politician. " In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession"

Moral: Never..Never..Never.. belate.

" This for my wife "...by the Bengali school teacher

Through the jongole I am went,
On shooting Tiger I am bent
Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling's life
Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beeches
Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool's heart
Taking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight
Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native town
Then through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self - "Bannerjee be brave"
I am now proceeding with too much care
From far I smell this Tiger's lair
My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start to pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other day
Turning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting this Bengalee
He bounding from cave like football player Pele
I run shouting "Kali Ma tumi kothay gele"
Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer looming
I am a telling that never in life I will risk again for my damn fool wife!

Sri Lankans in heaven.

The Angel Gabriel came to the Lord and said " I have to talk to you. We have some Srilankans up here in Heaven and they are causing problems.

They are swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, they are wearing sarongs and saris instead of their white robes; they are riding Toyota Corollas, Nissan Sunny and privileged ones driving Prado and Mercedes instead of the chariots, and they are selling their halos to people for discount prices.

They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clear, since they keep crouching down midway drinking tea. Some of them are even walking around with just one wing and brewing illicit liquor.

The Lord said, " Srilankans are Srilankans. Heaven is home to all my children. If you want to know about problems, give Satan a call."

Satan answered the phone, " Hello? Damn, hold on a minute." Satan returned to the phone, " OK, I am back. What can I do for you?"

Gabriel replied, I just wanted to know what kind of problems you're having down there?"
Satan says, " Hold on again. I need to check on something."

After about 5 minutes, Satan returns to the phone and said, I'm back. Now waht was the question?"

Gabriel said, " What kinds of problems are you having down there?"

Satan says, " Man I don't believe this. Hold on."

This time Satan was gone at least 15 minutes. He returned and said, " I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now. These Srilankans down here have put out the fire in hell and are trying to install air conditioning."

What do retired people do all day.?

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well for example, the other day I went into town and went into a shop. I was only in there for about 5 minutes; when I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

I went up to him and said, " Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a f*******break? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a s-- head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for 20 minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally I didn't care. I came into town by bus. I try to have a little fun each day now that I am retired.

It's important at my age.

One day... I got into a fit of musing in my room and stood resting my elbows on the bureau. Looking into the glass, it struck me what an ugly man I was.

Not long after this, Andy came to town and the first time I saw him I said to myself " There's the man." I went home, took down my gun, and prowled around the streets waiting for him. He soon came along.

" Halt Andy " said I, pointing the gun at him. . " say your prayers, for I am going to shoot you. "

" Why Mr. Lincoln what's the matter? What have I done? "

" Well. I made an oath that if I ever saw an uglier man than I am, I'd shoot him on the spot. You are uglier, surely; so make ready to die."

" Mr. Lincoln, do you really think that I am uglier than you? "

" Yes "

" Well, Mr. Lincoln " said Andy deliberately and looking me squarely in the face. " If I am any uglier, fire away "

A lawyer and an Italian are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that Italians are so dumb that he could get over on them easy.. So the lawyer asks if the Italian would like to play a fun game.

The Italian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, and says the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me ony $5. You ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500. he says. This catches the Italian's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. " What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The Italian doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five - dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the Italian's turn. He asks the lawyer, " What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Italian and hands him $500. The Italian pockets the $500. and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes up the Italian and asks, " Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"

The Italian reaches in his pocket , hands the lawyer $5. and goes back to sleep.

Don't mess with Italians.

An armed and hooded robber bursts into the Bank of Ireland and forces the tellers to load a sack full of cash. On his way out the door with the loot, one brave Irish customer grabs the hood and pulls it off revealing the robber's face. The robber shoots the guy in the head without hesitation. He then looks around the bank to see if any one else had seen him.

One of the tellers is looking straight at him and the robber walks over and calmly shoots him in the head also. Everyone by now is very scared and looking down at the floor.

"Did anyone else see my face ? " calls the robber.

There is a few moments of silence then one elderly Irish gent, looking down, tentatively raises his hand and says, " I think my wife may have caught a glimpse."

Crushed Scrotum.

During service, a pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for prayers, which had been answered.

A lady stood up and came forward.

She said, " I have a reason to thank the Lord. Two months ago, my husband, Jim, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."

You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced.

She continued, " Jim was unable to hold me or the children and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation. They were able to piece together the crushed remains of Jim's scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."

Again the men in the congregation squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Jim.

She continued, " Now, Jim is out of the hospital and doctors say, with time his scrotum should recover completely.

All the men sighed with relief.

The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had anything to say.

A man rose and walked slowly to the podium.

He said, " I'm Jim and I would like to tell my wife, the word is "sternum"

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Barack Obama: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change.

John Mc. Cain: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all chickens on the other side of the road. Z..ZZZ.zzz.

Sarh Palin: Because Jesus, I was gonna shoot his sorry liberal ass for blocking my view of Russia.

Hillary Clinton: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

George W. Bush: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

Dick Cheney: Where is my gun?

Colin Powell: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

Bill Clinton: I did not cross the road with that chick. What is your definition of crossing?

Al Gore: I invented the chicken.

John Kerry: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it. It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

Anderson Cooper, CNN : We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

Pat Buchanan: To steal the job of a decent, hard working American.

Martha Stewart: No one called me to warn me which way the chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmers Market to sell eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

Ernest Hemingway: To die in the rain alone.

Jerry Falwell: Because the chicken was gay. Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay, too I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and simple as that.

Grandpa: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

John Lennon: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

Bill Gates: I have just released eChicken 2008, which will not only cross the roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken 2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash.

Albert Einstein: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

Colonel Sanders: Did I miss one?

What is a GRAND PARENT?

( Taken from papers written by a class of 8 year olds.)

* A six year old was asked where his Grandma lived.
" Oh " he said, " She lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go to her, then when we're done having her visit. we take her back to the airport.

* They don,t say, " Hurry Up."

* Usually Grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.

* They wear glasses and funny underwear.

* They can take their teeth and gums out.

* Grandparents don't have to be smart.

* They have to answer questions like " Why isn't God married?" and" how come dogs chase cats?"

* When they read to us they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story again.

* Everybody should try to have a Grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us.

* They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

* It's funny when they bend over, you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog.

George Bush picked up the check. Bill Clinton picked up the waitress. David Letterman.

At the lunch president - elect Obama was kind of awkward., because he didn't have any experiences or accomplishments to talk about as president. So, at least he and President Bush had something in common. Jay Leno.

Once upon a time, there was a nonconforming
sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter.
However, soon the weather turned so cold that he
reluctantly started to fly South. In a short time, ice
began to form on his wings and he fell to earth in
a barnyard, almost frizen. A cow passed by and crapped
on the little sparrow. The sparrow thought that
it was the end. But the manure warmed him and defrosted his wings.
Warm and happy, able to breathe, he started to sing.
Just then a large cat came by and hearing the chirping, investigated the sounds.
The cat cleared away the manure, found the chirping bird and promptly ate him.

Moral of the story.

1. Every one who shits on you is not necessarily your enemy.

2. Every one who gets you out of the shit is not necessarily your friend.

3. And, if your'e warm and happy in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut.

A Southerner moves up North.

December 8,
5.00 p.m. It's starting to snow. The first of the season and the first one we've seen in years. The wife and I took our hot buttered rums and sat by the picture window, watching the soft flakes drift down clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It was beautiful....

December 9

We awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight. Every tree and shrub covered with a beautiful white mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time in years and loved it. I did both our driveway and our sidewalk. Later a city snowplow came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and shoveled it again.

December 10,

It snowed and additional 5 inches last night and the temperature has dropped around 11. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shoveled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards the snowplow vame by and did his trick again. Much of the snow now is brownish-gray.

December 11,

Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush which soon became ice when the temperature dropped agai. Bought snow tires for both cars. Fell on my ass in the driveway. $145.00 to the chiropractor, but nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected.

December 12,

Still cold. Sold the wife's car and bought a 4 x 4 in order to get her to work. slid into a guardrail anyway and did a considerable amount of damage to the right rear quarter panel. Had another 8 inches of the white shit last night. Both vehicles covered in salt and crud. More shoveling in store for me today. That goddam snowplow came by twice today.

December 13,

2 o outside. More f***ng snow. Not a tree or shrub on our property that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and kerosene heater, which tipped over and nearly burned the house down. I managed to put the flames out, but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands and lost all my eyelashes and eyebrows. Car slid on ice on way to emergency room and was totaled.

December 14,

Goddam f***ng white shit keeps coming down. Had put on all the clothes we own just to get to the f***ng mailbox. If I ever catch the S.O.B. that drives the snowplow I'll chew open his chest and rip out his heart. I think he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then comes down the street about 100 MPH and buries our driveway again. Power still off. Toilet froze and part of the roof has started to cave in.

December 15,

More f***ng inches of f**ng snow and f**ng sleet and f""ng ice and god knows what other kind of white f**ng shit fell last night. I wounded the f**ng snowplow asshole with an ice ax but he got away. Wife left me. Car won't star. I think I'm going snowblind. I can't move my toes. Haven't seen the sun in weeks. More snow predicted. wind chill 22 f***ng degrees. I'm moving back to Florida.

From the Reagan Diaries: Entry Dated May 17, 1986.

" A moment I've been dreading. George brought his n'er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work."

Once there was a small baby monkey stranded on a small island.
There was nothing on this island except dry grass and a single coconut tree with many coconuts.
One hot day, the dry grass caught fire.
The fire spread quickly and soon the whole island was on fire.
To escape from the fire the small baby monkey climbed uo the coconut tree, but the wind was strong and the fire was quickly working its way up the tree.
By now the tree and the monkey were surrounded by fire.

The question now is :

WHAT SHOULD THE SMALL BABY MONKEY DO TO ESCAPE THE FIRE?

Think about it.

C'mon guess the answer......

What's the answer?

Answer:

If a big monkey like you and me don't know the answer, how do you expect a small baby monkey to know.

The Sri Lankan Way.

There is a good old barber in London. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies,

" I'm sorry I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service."

The florist is happy and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open the shop, there is a Thank You and a dozen roses waiting at his door.

A policeman goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut.
But the barber replies: I'm sorry. I cannot accept money from you ... I'm doing community service.
The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning the barber goes to open his shop. There is a Thank You card and a dozen donuts are waiting at his door.

A Sri lankan goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut.
But the barber replies: " I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you.
I am doing community service."

The Sri Lankan is happy and leaves.

A man hated his wife's and he decided to get rid of it. He drove 20 blocks away from home and dropped the cat there. The cat was already walking up the driveway when he approached his home.



The next day, he decided to drop the cat blocks away but the same thing happened. He kept increasing the number of blocks but the cat kept coming home before him.



At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right and so on until he reached what he thought was a perfect spot and dropped the cat there.



An hour later ... the man calls his wife at home and asked her , " Jen is the cat there?"

A man who smelled likea distillery sat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.

After a few minutes the dishevelled guy turned to the priest and asked, " say Father, what causes arthritis?"

" My son, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man."

" Well, I'll be damned," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said nudged the man and apologised.

" I'm very sorry, I didn't come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"

" I don't have it Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does.

Feeling unappreciated ?

Read this from the New York Times.

Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for five days before anyone asked if he was feeling O.K. George Tucklebaum, 51 who had been employed as a proof reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers.

He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was working during the weekend.

His boss Elliott Wachiaski, said: " George was always the first guy in each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the same position all that time and didn't say anything. He was always absorbed in his work and kept much to himself.."

A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five days after suffering a coronary. George was proofreading manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died.

You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally. The moral the story.

Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway.

A guy goes to the supermarket to get some groceries for his wife., and while strolling through the aisles he notices an attractive woman waving at him. He waves back, and continues filling up his cart.

A short while later, they are both in the check out queue. She smiles and says hello. He's rather taken aback because, though she looks familiar, he can't place where he knows her from.

So he says, " Excuse me, ma'am, but do I know you ?"

To which she replies, " Why yes, I think your'e the father of one of my kids."

He is shell-shocked. Now his mind races back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, " Oh God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet cellery???

She looks into his eyes and says calmly, " No, I'm your son's Kindergarten teacher."

BATHTUB TEST.

During a visit to the mental hospital, I asked the Director " How do you determine whether or not a patient should be amitted to the hospital"

" Well" said the Director, " We fill up a bath tub, then we give a tea spoon, a tea cup and a bucket to the patient and ask him to empty the bath tub."

" Oh I understand, " I said. " A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

" NO " said the Director, " A normal person would pull the drain plug. Well...Do you want a bed near the window?"

Arab & Jew.

An Arab needed a heart transplant, but prior to the surgery the doctors needed to store his blood type in case the need arises. Because the gentlemab had a rare type of b;ood, it could'nt be found locally. So the call went out to a number of countries. Finally, a Jew was located who had the same blood type and who was willing to donate his blood to the Arab.

After the surgery, the Arab sent the Jew a thank-you card for giving his blood along with an expensive diamond and a new Rolls Royce car as a token of his appreciation.

Unfortunately, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery once again. And his doctors called the jew who was more than happy to donate the blood again.

After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Jew a Thank You card and a box of Almond Roca sweets.

The Jew was shocked to see that the Arab this time did not acknowledge the Jew's kind gesture in the same way as he had done the first time. So he phoned the Arab and asked him why he had expressed his appreciation in not a very generous manner.

The Arab replied:

" Yahabibi..... I have Jewish blood now, remember...???

THE BLIND COWBOY.

An old cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the waiter, " Hey you wanna hear a blonde joke ?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep husky voice, the woman next to him says, "
" Before you tell that joke, mister cowbo, I think it's only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things.

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The girl sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. And the lady on your right is blonde and a professional wrestler and Roller Derby champion.

" OK. now think about it seriously, Mister. You still wanna tell us that joke?"

The blind cowboy thinks for a second , smiles, shakes his head and mutters,

" NOPE......not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Managers.




























Once during a Management training program, a team of Senor Managers were given an assignment to measure the height of a flag pole. So these Managers went out to the flag pole with ladders and tape.




























They're falling off the ladders, dropping the measuring tape - the whole thing is just a mess.




























An Engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flag pole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the Managers, re-erects the flag pole and walks away.

After the Engineer has gone, one Manager turns to another and laughs....

"Isn't that just like an Engineer? We're looking for height and he gives the length."

MORAL: NO MATTER WHAT GOOD YOU DO, MANAGERS CAN ALWAYS FIND FAULT IN YOU.
