Jokes 26 Stamps! A woman went to the Post Office to buy
stamps for her Christmas cards. Lost! A
Minister had gotten about two-thirds through his sermon when he found an
unexpected shortage of manuscript. After fumbling it a moment he said,
"My good friends, I find the last pages of my discourse have gone.
I think my favorite dog must have gotten some of them yesterday and
eaten them. You must excuse me from the remainder of the
discourse." The Next One! After
a young couple brought their new baby home, the wife suggested that her
husband should try his hand at changing diapers. "I'm busy,"
he said, "I'll do the next one." Not you again? A
man walks into the front door of a bar. He is obviously drunk, and
staggers up to the bar, seats himself on a stool and, with a belch, asks
the bartender for a drink. The bartender politely informs the man that
it appears that he has already had plenty to drink, he could not be
served additional liquor at this bar, and could a cab be called for him?
The drunk is briefly surprised, then softly scoffs, grumbles, climbs
down off the bar stool and staggers out the front door. WOW! 1. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) 2. If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) 3. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) 4. A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) 5. A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) 6. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.) 7. The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!") 8. The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes... lucky pig... can you imagine??) 9. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) 10. Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) 11. Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) 12. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm........) 13. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) 14. Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....) 15. A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) 16. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) 17. Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.) 18. Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.) 19. Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??)
MEN
vs WOMEN A man would not be able to
identify most of these items. Coke or Water
WATER 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half
world population.) 2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often
mistaken for hunger. 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100%
of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could
significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory,
trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen
or on a printed page. 8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by
45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is
50%less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of
water you should every day? COKE 1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of
Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. 2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two
days. 3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let
the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The
citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. 4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a
rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the
rusted bolt for several minutes. 7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap
the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is
finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke
for a sumptuous brown gravy. 8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of
greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The
Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze
from your windshield. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: 1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches
calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in
osteoporosis. 2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must
use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive
materials. 3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of
their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or
coke? BrewsterZebediah
was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers, Cranky Rooster
After the egg hunt on Easter Sunday, the
young farm boy decided to play a prank. He went to the chicken coop
and replaced every single egg with a brightly colored one. Just Wacky
"Word Perfect Technical Desk, may I help you?" "Yes, well, I'm
having trouble with Word Perfect." "What sort of
trouble?" "Well, I was
just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." "Went
away?" "They
disappeared." "Hmm. So what
does your screen look like now?" "Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it
won't accept anything when I type." "Are you still
in Word Perfect, or did you get out?" "How do I
tell?" "Can you see
the C: prompt on the screen?" "What's a
sea-prompt?" "Never mind.
Can you move the cursor around on the screen?" "There isn't
any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type!" "Does your
monitor have a power indicator?" "What's a
monitor?" "It's the thing
with the screen on it that looks like a TV. "Does it have a
little light that tells you when it's on?" "I don't
know." "Well, then
look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into
it. Can you see that?" "Yes, I think
so." "Great. Follow
the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall." ".......Yes, it
is." "When you were
behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged
into the back of it, not just one?" "No." "Well, there
are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
"Okay, here it
is." "Follow it for
me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your
computer." "I can't
reach." "Uh huh. Well,
can you see if it is?" "No." "Even if you
maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?" "Oh, it's not
because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark." "Dark?" "Yes-the office
light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the
window." "Well, turn on
the office light then." "I can't."
" No? Why not?" "Because
there's a power outage." "A power... A
power outage? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the
boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?" "Well, yes, I
keep them in the closet." "Good. Go get
them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you
got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from." "Really? Is it
that bad?" "Yes, I'm
afraid it is." "Well, all
right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?" " Tell them you're too
stupid to own a computer." Don’t
bring her back! A middle aged man bought a brand new Mercedes convertible SL500. He took off down the road, pushed it up to 130 kmph,and was enjoying the wind blowing through his (thinning) hair. "This is
great," he thought and accelerated to an even higher speed. |
