  • This is a Texas joke

    A cowboy has spent many days crossing the Texas plains without water.

    His horse has already died of thirst. He's crawling thr ough the sand,

    certain that he has breathed his last breath, when all of a sudden he

    sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him.

    He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what

    looks to be an old briefcase. He opens it and out pops a genie. But this

    is no ordinary genie.

    She is wearing a FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) ID

    badge and a dull gray dress. There's a calculator in her pocketbook.

    She has a pencil tucked behind one ear. 'Well, cowboy,' says the genie.

    'You know how I work....

    You have three wishes.'

    'I'm not falling for this.', said the cowboy. 'I'm not going to trust a

    FEMA genie.'

    'What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks

    like you're a goner anyway!'

    The cowboy thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie is

    right.

    'OK! I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and drink.'

    ***POOF***

    The cowboy finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen,

    and he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.

    'OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish.'

    'My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams.'

    ***POOF***

    The cowboy finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.

    'OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good

    one!'

    After thinking for a few minutes, the cowboy says...'I wish that no

    matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me.'

    ***POOF***

    He was turned into a tampon.

    The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached.

  • Are you as talented as this rooster?

    Award winning Rooster.

    John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.

    The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.

    The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

    But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

    The result...The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

    Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.

    Vote carefully this year...the bells are not always audible ...

  • Would someone fluent in Spanish?

    be able to translate these few song lyrics from English to Spanish?

    I'd be deeply thankful.

    I didn't know

    The night I said hello

    That I'd fall in love with you

    You set my heart on fire

    You turned these smoldering embers

    Of love that I once knew

    Into a flaming pyre of love

    That now burns only for you

    I understand a little Spanish, and hope that I can compose the notes to fit the SP. syllables.

  • Joke! Have any of you guys found underwear dust in your drawers?

    One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!'

    His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded.

    The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. 'What the heck is this??' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out.

    ' Honey ,' he hollered into the bathroom, 'why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?'

    She replied ...'It's not talcum powder......It's 'Miracle Grow'

  • Is this worth a smile?

    A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the object, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling ties.

    The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"

    The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."

    The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"

    "OK," said the old Jewish man," it does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom."

    Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead.

    "Your f***ing brother won't let me in without a tie!"

  • What the hell happened?

    Does anyone here remember "Service Stations"?

    When an attendant pumped our gas? When he checked our oil? When he washed our windschield? When he checked our wipers and we could replace them right there? When he checked all our tires, including the spare, and filled them with air, and if they were bad, we could buy a new one right there? When he checked our belts and hoses, and showed us if they were bad? And we could have them replaced if needed? When he checked our water and filled our radiator? When he checked the water level in our battery? When they fixed flats?

    And he collected without us getting out of the car, in any kind of weather? And brought our change back to the car?

    And he spoke English?

    And he never even expected a tip?

    And gas was 19 cents a gallon??????????????

  • How much is a penny worth? Read and find out?

    BEE STINGS

    >

    > It might be wise to carry a penny in your pocket while working in the yard.......... BEE STINGS !

    >

    > A couple of weeks ago, I (an acquaintance) was stung by both a bee and hornet while working in the garden.

    >

    > My arm swelled up, so I went to the doctor. The clinic gave me cream and an antihistamine. The next day the swelling was getting progressively worse, so I went t o my regular doctor. The arm was Infected and needed an antibiotic.The doctor told me - ' The next time you get stung, put a penny on the bite for 15 minutes'.

    >

    > That night, my niece was stung by two Bees. I looked at the bite and it had already started to swell. So, I taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes. The next morning, there was no sign of a bite. We decided that she just wasn't allergic to the sting.

    >

    > &n bsp; Soon, I was gardening outside. I got stung again, twice by a hornet on my left hand. I thought, here I go again to The doctor for another antibiotic.

    >

    > I promptly got my money out and taped two pennies to my bites, then sat and sulked for 15 minutes. The penny took the string out of the bite immediately.

    >

    > In the meantime the hornets were attacking, and my friend was stung on the thumb. Again the penny. The next morning I could only see the spot where the hornet had stung me. No

    redness, no swelling.

    >

    > She got stung again a few days later upon her back---cutting the grass! And the penny worked once again.

    > Wanted to share this marvelous information in case you experience the same problem. We need to keep a stock of

    pennies on hand .

  • Searcing for OZ?

    Four United States Presidents get caught up in a tornado....

    And off they whirled to the land of OZ.

    They finally made it to the Emerald City ....

    ...and went to find the Great Wizard.

    What brings the four of you before the great

    Wizard of Oz?

    Jimmy Carter stepped forward timidly:

    'I've come for some courage.'

    'No Problem!' said the Wizard, 'Who's next?'

    Richard Nixon stepped forward, and said:

    'Well, I think I need a heart.'

    'Done! Says the Wizard.'

    'Who comes next before the Great and Powerful Oz?'

    Up stepped Bush and said,

    'The American people say that I need a brain.'

    'No problem! Said the Wizard.

    Consider it done.'

    Then there is a great silence in the hall.

    Bill Clinton is just standing there, looking around,

    But he doesn't say a word.

    Irritated, the Wizard finally asks,

    'Well, what do YOU want?'

    'IS DOROTHY HERE'
