Subject: French/English pun

Here's an English/French pun that my friend Rusty told me.
If you don't know french, as long as you know tombe (pronounced "tom-bay)
means fell, you should understand it.(and say it out loud)

Person #1: Voici, la tour Eiffel.
Person #2: Non, la tour est tombe.

Subject: Lion & Gorilla <profane, sexual>

--------------------------------------------------------------
This rather horny young gorilla is walking through the savanna and spots a
large male lion bending over a watering hole. He sneaks up behind the lion
and sticks it to him in the rear. After a few thrusts, the gorilla turns and
begins to run as fast as he can.
The lion, shocked that anyone would dare pull a stunt like this on the king
of the jungle, takes off after the gorilla.
The gorilla reaches a village and runs into a hut, grabbing a large hat and
duster, which he quickly dons. He then seats himself in a lounge in front of
the hut and holds up a large newspaper in front of him, pretending to read.
The lion runs up to the gorilla and roars, "Have you seen a gorilla go by
here?"
"You mean the one who fucked the lion up the ass?" asks the gorilla.
"Oh no", moans the lion. "It's in the newspaper already?"

Subject: Cleft palate (offensive ...

A man was travelling from Cape Town to Johannesburg when he
stopped for a young hitchhiker somewhere in the middle of the
Karoo. It happened that the youngster had a cleft palate and
thus spoke somewhat nasally. The motorist naturally felt very
sorry for the young man.

After driving for an hour or so with very little conversation
between them, the man pulled off for a roadside lunch. He
opened his picnic basket and offered the youngster some of his
sandwiches.

"Thank you, Thir, but becauth of my problem I cannot eat
anything that may cauth crumbth to enter my palate," he
replied. The man felt he could'nt eat either under the
circumstances and opened his thermoflask of coffee.

"Would you like some coffee, son?" he asked. "Thank you, yeth
Thir, but becauth of my problem you will have to help me. I
cannot drink anything that will end up in my palate, tho have
to take it anally by means of thith thpecial funnel."

The obliging motorist, feeling very sorry for the poor
chappie, agreed. The youngster pulled down his pants, bent
over and inserted the funnel. The man slowly poured some
coffee down the funnel. The youngster however jumped up,
saying "Ouch!!".

"Sorry Son, was it too hot?"

"No Thir, no sugar!"

Subject: Quotes part 3 out of 3

Johnny Hart's comic strip "B.C.": "If man evolved from the
ape, how come there are still apes around? Some of them were
given choices."

This one is my favorite:
Bill Watterson, cartoonist: "Sometimes I think the surest
sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe
is that none of it has tried to contact us."

!! Very important: If you know another quote or joke about aliens and
the first contact, please send them directly to me, it'll be very
helpful to my work!! Thanks.

Unidentified Scientist: "After two years of trying,
scientists at the Yerkes Regional Primate Center have
managed to get a chimpanzee pregnant." Which proves that no
task is repugnant to a true scientist.

Irv Kupcinet: "What can you say about a society that says
God is dead and Elvis is alive?"

A man said to the Universe: "Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the Universe,
"the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation."
-- Stephen Crane

Be self-reliant and your success is assured.

For economists, the real world is often a special case.

Ask five economists and you'll get five different explanations (six if
one went to Harvard).
-- Edgar R. Fiedler
An ounce of vanity can ruin a ton of merit.

The world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.
-- Sean O'Casey

Contract of Employment
****************************

To : All Staff
Re: Excessive Absences

Due to the excessive number of absences during the past year it has become
necessary to put the following new rules and procedures into operation
immediately:

SICKNESS

No excuse. The management will no longer accept your Doctor's Certificate
as proof. We believe that if you are able to go to your doctor, then you
are able to go to work.

DEATH(your own)

This will be accepted as an excuse. We would like two weeks notice, since
we feel it is your duty to train someone else in your job.

DEATH (other than your own)

This is no excuse. There is nothing you can do for them and henceforth, no
time off will be allowed for funerals. However in case this should cause
some hardship to some of our employees. there are those who might care to
note that on your behalf, the management has a special scheme in conjunction
with the local council for lunchtime burials, thus ensuring that no time is
lost from work.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR AN OPERATION

We wish to discourage any thought you may be having of needing an operation
and henceforth, no leave of absence will be granted for hospital visits.
The management believes that as long as you are an employee here, you will
need all of whatever you have already got and should not consider any of it
being removed. We engaged you for the particular job with all your parts
and anything removed would mean that we would be getting less than we
bargained for and may be considered a breach of employment contract.

VISITS TO THE TOILET

Far too much time is spent on this particular practice. In future the
procedure will be that all personnel shall go in alphabetical order. For
example: those with the surname beginning with the letter "A" will go from
9:30 to 9:45, "B" will go from 9:45 to 10:00 etc

NOTE

Those of you who are unable to attend your appropriate times will have to
wait until the next day.

Subject: <No subject given>

I am enjoying the list of college practical jokes so much I thought
I'd add a few (all of them have been used successfully; actually,
they were all used in a two week time span (along with some of the
other ones already posted) and a HUGE fight was started) ...

1 - Take one of those Hallmark greeting cards that has a musical
coin inside it - you know, the ones that play music when
you open them. Take the musical coin and put it underneath
the mark's bed. The music will be too quiet to hear when
everyone is up and about, but will be faintly heard when the
mark goes to sleep. Guaranteed to drive him crazy! Laugh
out loud as he rips his bed apart!

2 - On the night of a big exam that everyone is studying for,
look out for the first person to go to sleep. After you are
sure that he is asleep throw the fuse box switch for his
room. This will turn off all the electricity in his room
and will reset his alarm clock to midnight. Loads of laughs
when he misses the exam and fails out of school!

3 - If somebody has an electrical appliance that really annoys you
(stereo, hairdryer) put some clear nail polish around the prongs
and let dry. When dry, insert prongs back into the wall
(nail polish is an insulator, but do this at your own risk).
Hardly anybody thinks of checking the prongs when something
doesn't work - they'll probably throw the whole thing out!

4 - Extremely interesting sculptures can be made by tossing water
directly into your freezer and then slamming the door shut.
The contracting ice will not freeze the door shut.
Add things like old shoes and books to get a three dimensional
ice sculpture. Ooops! You accidentaly added somebody's car
keys, or other important items and it will take at least a day
for all the ice to melt!

5 - Unscrew all the hinges on somebody's door and howl with laughter
when they enter and the door crashes and breaks a few of their things!

6 - Somebody pissing you off through improper laundry room protocol?
Toss a leaky fountain pen cartridge into their wash and let
nature run its course!

7 - Another big exam? Join in the study group and be the person who
needs the most help over basic things, and always suggests ordering pizza,
and shooting the bull, and let's stay up all night!, etc. and then faint
with glee when you go to bed nice and early - you're not in the class
after all and were only wasting everyone's time!

8 - Shoot bottle rockets under somebody's door as they are asleep -
guaranteed to scare them!

9 - Soak a tennis ball in hair spray and light and then toss into somebody's
room. For some reason this scares the beejesus out of most people.
(also a good way to get thrown out of school if you are found out).

10 - Worried about marks getting revenge? Get a large collection of urine
in a glass jar with a sealable lid. Toss in a couple of raw eggs,
seal up, and store in a cool dark place for a couple of weeks.
Nobody will ever give you any trouble when they know you have
this at your disposal! Take things a bit too far by actually
throwing it on somebody!

little johnny comes home from school with a note from his teacher,

so johnny's mother takes him quietly, by the hand, upstairs to her bedroom,
and closes the door.

- first, johnny, i want you to take off my blouse...

so unbuttons her blouse and takes it off.

- ok, now take off my skirt...

and he takes off her skirt.

- now take off my bra...

which he does.

- and now, johnny, please take off my panties.

and when johnny finishes removing those, she says,

"johnny, PLEASE don't wear any of my clothes to school any more!"

I am no admirer of Mr. Rafsanjani, the President of Iran but I find it

It so happens that both of them are now in India at the same time.
It seems that he was not aware of this coincidence and he blurted out
publicly that he would have cancelled his visit had he known that
Rafsanjani would also be in the town. I do not know who did he want to
blame for the lapse of the US Embassy and CIA this time but he should
have at least kept his mouth shut.

FORGET IT

I prayed to God for serenity that my dying days might more peaceful be.
Instead He have me senility, I've forgotten the reason why.
I forgot the chapter, I forgot the verse, I know it's getting worse and
worse.
I forget the stories, I forget the jokes, and I always forget the names
of
folks.
I've forgot where I'm going, I forget where I've been, forgotten why
and
forgotten when.
I've forgotten friends, I've forgotten foes, but not my troubles and
not my
woes.
But it ain't all bad this forgetfulness and I'll tell you the reason
why,
Someday I'll forget to die.

Is this bullshit supposed to be funny?
Does Aditya find this amusing? "One can share humor even in a tragedy,"
he says. Is this clown some kind of flaming nut? I usually enjoy even
the most off-the-wall and weird kind of humor, but this has me stumped.
I find it: 1) hateful, 2) grossly inappropriate at this time, and 3) not
humorous in the least.

Subject: Diamonds are also a guys best friend....

I heard this a long time ago:
Friday evening around 7:30.
A young couple enters a jewelery store. He, average looking, well
dressed, She, DROP-DEAD Beautiful, BUILT!
They walk up to the necklace counter and start brousing.(she is
giggling constantly, he's looking bored) Shortly a clerk walks up to them and
asks if she can be of assistance. The conversation went as follows:

He: "Yes, do you have anything GOOD?"
Clerk: "OH, Yes!" (she starts to reach for a good looking piece in the
display case)
He: "Hold on.. Let's save some time. Show me the BEST diamond necklace
that you have on the premeses."
Clerk: "Um, Yes Sir, I'll have to get the manager, it's in the safe."
He: "I'll wait."
She: (looks like a VERY happy puppy)
Manager: (coming from the back with a box)"Sir, this is the best in the house."
(he opens the box, there is a price tag of $23,000.00 on the necklace)
She: (gasp!) (melt)
He: (to she) "Would you like to try it on?"
She: (nod vigorously)
He: "Do you like it?"
She: (*KISS*)
He: "I'll take it. You *DO* take personal checks don't you?"
Manager: "Um, yes sir, but, being as this is friday and the banks have closed.
I can not release the necklace until I've verified funds. You could
pick it up Monday around noon."
He: "Fine."
She: (*KISS*,*KISS*,*KISS*)

Monday rolls around and the young man returns to the store.

Manager: "YOU! HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE!"
He: "I know, I'm here to collect the check."
Manager: "HERE! Now get out!"
He: "Oh, One other thing."
Manager: "What."
He: "I'd like to thank you for the BEST weekend of my LIFE!"

Subject: Ethnic Sex <off to Jews><off to Orientals><language>

--------------------
An old Jew and his business partner, an oriental man, were discussing the
area of sex one afternoon over lunch.
"Sex just isn't fun anymore. Myra is so boring in bed, and it's the same
routine night after night." said the Jewish man.
"You need to try something different" replied the oriental. "First, take
a bath together. Wash each other. Take turns drying each other. Powder
each other. Caress each other. Passionately make love, then at the peak of
sexual excitement, STOP... get out of bed... eat some rice... drink some
saki.. delay the moment of passion. She will be overcome with passion, and
the rest of the evening will be the most passionate night of your lives."
"Hey, I think you've got something there! I'll try that", states the old
Jew, and quickly left for home.
Upon arriving home, the old Jew called to his wife, and found that she was
upstairs taking a shower. "What an opportunity!", he though to himself, and
quickly scaled the stairs undressing all the way until arriving at the shower
door.
"What the hell are you doing, you fat bastard!!!" blurted his startled
wife.
"I'm gonna bathe with you..."
"Like hell you are, I barely fit in here by myse... what the hell are you
doing now!?!?", asked the wife.
"I'm washing you..."
"Wash yourself you fat bastard! Ouch! You're ripping my skin off!"
"I'm drying you..."
"Get that damn towel out of my... <COUGH> <CHOKE> What the hell are you
doing now!?!?!"
"I'm powdering you..."
"Oh for Chrissake, if you're horny just get into bed!" excalimed the
exhasperated wife.

The old Jew and his wife then proceeded to make love, and just before
the moment of climax, the man leaps happily from the bed.
"Where the hell are you going!?!?" pleaded the wife.
"For a corned beef sandwich and a beer", replied the old man.
"You fuck like a Jap!" screamed the wife.
--------------------
A man spend the evening in a Japanese house of ill-repute
(pronounced "WHORE HOUSE") and contracts a strange disease, causing his
member (pronounced "DICK") to display colors ranging from red, to green, to
purple and several other hues. In a state of panick, he contacts his family
doctor, and is informed that the penis must be amputated immediately. After
two or three opinions from other family practitioners, he decides to try a
Japanese doctor. A Japanese prostitute, probably a Japanese disease... why
not a Japanese doctor?
After finding a suitable physician in the Yellow Pages, he visits the
Japanese doctor's office, knocks on the fringe, and hesitantly approaches the
medical man.
"What can I do for you?" asks the doctor.
"Look at this..." replies the man, and drops his drawers, revealing his
sickly little friend.
"Not for too long...", replies the doctor, "What happened?!?!"
The man explains the circumstances, then asks the doctor, "Will you have to
amputate?"
"No." replied the doctor, and he explained to the relieved man, "two..
three days that thing gonna fall off all by itself."

several times on the roof, before bouncing off the edge, falling onto a

metal, overheated it to 50,000 degrees, effectively liquefying the metal.
Then the enormous amount of fat melted. The strike of body temperature
fat on liquefied steel caused the steel and the fat to explode like a huge
bomb. Be glad the FBI has to cover their asses for the mistake or you're
likely to have been sued for the damage to the building."
