Whoever said that money can't buy friends obviously never brought donuts to the office. — Wendy Weiner Runge

LONDON, England — A medical journal, The Lancet, recently reported a rare condition of a case of "spontaneous multiple orgasms." It seems a 44-year-old woman would undergo multiple orgasms when doing routine household chores like laundry. The report continued to outline that extreme distress was caused to the woman due to the uncontrollable nature and intensity of the feeling. She was eventually treated with a medication normally used on epilepsy patients and she is now orgasm-free.
[And this condition is bad?]

BRISBANE, Australia — A recent party turned gruesome after a group of drunken Aussies decided to perform a makeshift operation on their drunken friend. The operation? You guessed it; a circumcision. They did not even use a knife, for one was not available so they used a broken beer bottle. The "patient" was so drunk he slept through the operation and was rushed to the hospital bleeding, but still passed out. The "friends" were charged with unlawful wounding.
[I wonder if this guy's friends were women.]

THIS WEEK'S OBLIGATORY BLONDE JOKE

Josh was helping Cheryl, the blonde, clean out the trunk of her car. Inside, he noticed a bag labeled "Emergency Repair Kit". Looking at it a little closer, he noticed a stick of dynamite inside. Thinking that was a bit strange, he asked Cheryl what it was for. She said, "It's part of my emergency repair kit."

Josh said, "I can see that, but why?" Cheryl replied, "In case I have a flat and need to blow up one of my tires."

This was highly upsetting for her.

He looked at it and handed it back to her without a word.

She finally asked him, " Well what should we do about this?"

The dad looked at her and said, "Well I don't think you should spank him."

THE VALET

A retired four-star general ran into his former orderly, also retired, in a Manhattan bar and spent the rest of the evening persuading him to come work for him as his valet. "Your duties will be exactly the same as they were in the army," the general said. "Nothing to it — you'll catch on again fast."

Next morning promptly at eight o'clock, the ex-orderly entered the ex-general's bedroom, pulled open the drapes, gave the general a gentle shake, strode around the other side of the bed, spanked his employer's wife on her bottom and said, "OK, sweetheart, it's back to the village for you."

MISDIRECTED E-MAIL

A businessman from Wisconsin went on a business trip to Louisiana. Upon arrival, he immediately plugged his laptop into the hotel room port and sent a short email back home to his wife, Jennifer Johnson, at her address, JennJohn@world.net.

Unfortunately, in his haste, he mistyped a letter and the email ended up going to JeanJohn@world.net, a Jean Johnson in Duluth, the wife of a preacher who had just passed away and was buried that day. The preacher's wife took one look at the email and promptly fainted.

It read, "Arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here!"

THE TOP 10 SIGNS THE ANTICHRIST IS A VEGETARIAN

NOTE FROM CHRIS: A leading conservative candidate to succeed Pope John Paul II has warned that the Antichrist foreseen in the Book of Revelations is already among us. Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, 71, said that the modern Antichrist, identified in the Book of Revelations as a seven-headed beast, was most likely now disguised as a philanthropist supporting creeds like vegetarianism, animal rights or pacifism, or advocating dialogue with Orthodox or Anglican believers.

So how can you tell if the Antichrist is a vegetarian? Glad you asked...


10. His black shroud is really just a XXXL "Meat is Murder" T-shirt turned inside out.

9. Instead of roasting the flesh of infidels, the fires of Hell are now just used to roast marshmallows.

8. Mysteriously, a movement arises to replace communion wafers with body-free tofu-of-Christ.

7. Local organic gardens finding unprecedented crop yield when planted in a pentagram configuration.

6. He recoils at the sight of the cross of a T-bone.

5. Always bringing his crappy under-garlicked hummus to Microsoft company picnics.

4. Has started ordering his disciples to cut back on the goat sacrifices in favor of a vegan alternative.

3. Vanity license plate: BLZBROC

2. Have you *tasted* tofu, man? Is there any *doubt* that slop is the work of the Devil?

and Topfive.com's Number 1 Sign the Antichrist is a Vegetarian...

THE IRISH HONEYMOON

Paddy and Bridget had just got married. It was their wedding night in the bridal suite. Bridget was lying on her back on the bed in an incredible shimmering silky negligee whimpering, "Take me Paddy. Take me now!"

Paddy (having been a good Catholic boy) was a virgin and didn't have the faintest idea what to do next. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea. He dashed out of the room and went to reception to ring his mum for advice. Her advice was to put the hardest part of his body into where Bridget pees. Paddy was a bit dubious about this but his mother assured him that Bridget would love it.

Paddy came back in to the bedroom triumphantly, asked Bridget if she was ready.

Bridget shouted, "Yes, Yes, I'm ready!"

Then she watched in amazement as Paddy ran into the bathroom and put his head down the toilet.
