THE WEEKLY RIOT
August 18, 2000
Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.
— Victor Hugo, poet, novelist, and dramatist (1802-1885)
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES OF THE WEEK
(by the infamous Unknown Author unless otherwise noted)
I understand that I am here on Earth to serve others, I just don't understand what they are here for.
Some people have six pack abdomens. I have a keg.
I don't have a solution, but I admire your problem.
In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Usually, that individual is crazy.
Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders. — Sloan Wilson
My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government — he promised Dad he'd go straight. — John F. Kennedy
Gore vs. Bush... The same choice I have to face in selecting my pay-per-view movies every night. — The Onion | America's Finest News Source
Furbies: Why spend $45 on a toy that needs constant attention when you can have a man for free?
Have you heard about the new super-sensitive condoms? They hang around after the man leaves and talk to the woman.
IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK:
POLITICS: According to an online report, a Monica Lewinsky impersonator has been spooking the showbiz and media elite attending the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles by somehow gaining access to the city's top parties.
[It's not so much her looks — it's the walking around on her knees...]
The Internet news site WorldNetDaily, said a consultant hired last year to improve security in the White House's computer network uncovered "massive pornographic video files passing through the system's Internet firewall," which protects the system against hackers.

SCIENCE: Government research indicates that global warming could cause more allergies...
[I am allergic to massive tidal waves caused by melting polar icecaps...]
INTERNATIONAL:
"As sexy as I once thought guys with British accents were, their lack of appealing social skills and poor dress sense soon overshadowed their attraction. I'm not sure it's
actually possible to become friends with a British teenage guy. His idea is to ask two questions...and then feel entitled to stick his tongue down your throat." — Mary-Catherine Lader, daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Britain, on UK boys
"Go back to the Land of Jerry Springer and get it on with all the obese cretins and racist rednecks." — Mirror columnist Bill Burrows' advice to Mary-Catherine Lader
THIS WEEK'S OBLIGATORY BLONDE JOKE
NASA is launching a rocket to the moon. On board there are two pigs and Kiki, a stunning blond. When the rocket is outside the stratosphere, the first stage drops off.
Contact is made: "Houston here, Pig 1, Pig 1, do you read us, over."
"Oink, oink, Pig 1 here, read you loud and clear"
"Pig 1, do you still know your instructions?"
"Yes, when we get to the moon, I press the red button to initiate the moon landing, over."
"That's right. Over and out."
They go on until the rocket separates its booster stage. "Hello, Pig 2, Houston, here. Come in please."
"Oink, oink, Pig 2 here, read you loud and clear."
"OK, Pig 2 do you remember your instructions?"
"Yes, when we've landed on the moon and are ready to leave, I press on the green button to initiate the launch program."
"That's right. Over and out."
An hour later when the rocket has achieved the correct speed the last stage drops off as planned. Ground control contacts the astronauts again.
"Houston here, Kiki, come in, Kiki do you read us?"
"Kiki here, reading you loud and clear"
"Kiki, do you remember your instructions?"
"Yes," Kiki says, "I feed the two pigs and keep my hands off any buttons."

MICE AT WORK
I arrived at work one morning and noticed mouse droppings on my desk. This isn't exactly alarming since I work in the middle of a producing oil field. Feeling clever, I dashed off the following e-mail to the lady who handles such infestations.
> This morning I found scatological evidence
> of mice on my desk. Can I get some glue traps,
> or perhaps a cage with an exercise wheel? :-)
>
> Thanks.
I was certain that she would be impressed by my erudition and wit, but she proved both unflappable and more clever. This is her reply.
> I can only send over glue boards. Mice are
> considered unauthorized contractors and
> therefore are ineligible to use the company's
> exercise equipment.

HISTORY TEST ANSWERS
The following is a sample list of "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eighth grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot...
• The First World War, cause by the assignation of the Arch-Duck by a surf, ushered in a new error in the annals of human history.
• Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees.
• On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. The believed assassinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposedly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.
• George Washington married Martha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our Country. The Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.
• One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea.
• Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miquel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote". The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained."
THE MECHANICS OF EMOTION
Touched by this unusual display of emotions, with eyes glistening, she slipped an arm around her husband.
"A penny for your thoughts dear."
"It's amazing! I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that for just $46.59."
MORE TIPS FROM MARTHA STEWART
• Fool other drivers into thinking you have an expensive carphone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the curb.
• Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers turned to fast wipe whenever you leave your car parked illegally.
• No time for a bath? Wrap yourself in duct tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.
• Apply red nail polish to your nails before clipping them. The red nails will be much easier to spot on your bathroom carpet. (Unless you have a red carpet, in which case a contrasting polish should be selected.)
• If a person is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour boiling water down their throat and presto! the blockage is removed.
I LOVE HER, BUT...
(A Collection of Men's Thoughts on Their Women)
... she was furious when I got up early once and made her breakfast. Called me controlling. How dare I decide that she would eat breakfast, let alone what she'd have? — Ted, Wexford, Pa.
... what's mine is hers. I buy her negligees; she sleeps in my T-shirts. When she's cold she wears my wool socks to bed, never her own. She steals my half-used razors; new ones are too sharp. She even wears my boxers. I'm tempted to switch to briefs just to see what she'd do. — Dave, Martha's Vineyard, Mass.
... she makes lists. Things to buy. Things to do. People to call. If it's not on the list, it doesn't get done. Once, to be funny, I put "sex" on the list. Mistake. Now it has to be on the list, or it doesn't get done. — Nick, Wheeling, W.Va.
... you can hear her eat soup from the next room. — Bruce, Bridgewater, N.J.
... when she gets an idea in her head, there's no stopping her. And no rest for anyone until it's done. It's not so bad when the idea is to bake cookies, or even to go on vacation. But when it's to build a new house, or to get pregnant, things get pretty intense. — Jim, Minneapolis
... my wife thinks everyone should be a vegetarian. During meals, she asks people how they can eat dead cows, or if they know that their pork chops used to be smarter than their dogs. — Miles, Shreveport, La.
... every so often boom! She's a brunette. Or I come home to a redhead. Actually, I have no idea what her natural color is. — Cary, Seattle
... she'll brush her teeth but she won't go to the dentist. She says she's not afraid of the pain, she just doesn't want to put herself in the hands of any fellow who'd choose to be a dentist. — Terence, Gary, Ind.
... she's stopped shaving her legs. She says that now people will know she's a natural blonde. — Ned, Tucson, Ariz.
... she takes her half of the bed out of the middle. — Robin, Gladwyne, Pa.
... have you ever seen a woman with green crust and slime smeared over her face, dark holes for her nostrils? Do you think you'd be able to sleep at night, knowing that creature is next to you? — Arthur, Cedar City, Utah
... my wife's allergic to everything. Her nose is chronically stuffed. If I kissed her on the mouth, she'd suffocate. — Bryan, Toledo, Ohio
... after sex, I mean the second after, she continues where she left off. Her eyes open and before you can breathe, you hear, " ... and, oh, yeah, I have to defrost the chicken, and your mother wants you to pick up her dry cleaning ..." — Jimmy, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
... in bed I'm her high school teacher, captain of the football team, her boss, the bad boy, a waiter, a lifeguard, a telephone repairman, a cop. Once in a while I'd like to be me. — Neil, Orlando, Fla.
... she wears these false eyelashes. She left 'em lying around and I slammed 'em with my newspaper, tried to kill the damn things. Scared me half to death. — Gordon, Oklahoma City, Okla.
... she takes those soaps too seriously. I'll come home and find her in tears because some character died. Or upset that some nonexistent guy's having a fictional affair. — Archie, St. Louis
... she will not shop at discount stores or sales. She thinks they're crowded and plebeian. She doesn't even look at the reduced rack, other than, perhaps, for gifts for my mother. — Conrad, Wilmington, Del.
... it annoys her that our children look like me. — James, New Orleans
... counting my wife and our teenage girls, that's four women. Somebody's always got PMS. — Everett, Little Rock, Ark.
... with five kids, I don't have time to complain about my wife. I don't have time to notice her. — Bob, Charleston, W.Va.
ANOTHER REASON FOR PAYING ATTENTION IN CLASS...
The computer science instructor was demonstrating the wonders of static electricity to his class. While holding a plastic rod in one hand and a wool cloth in the other, he told the class, "You can see that I get a large charge from rubbing my rod..."
That was pretty much the end of learning for that day.
THE TOP 22 FATAL THINGS TO SAY TO YOUR PREGNANT WIFE

19. "Damn if you ain't about five pounds away from a surprise visit from that Richard Simmons fella."
18. "Whoa! For a minute there, I thought I woke up next to Willard Scott!"

2. "No, I don't know where the remote is! Have you looked under your breasts?"

ELEMENTARY DEDUCTIONS
"Good evening ladies," Sherlock Holmes said as he passed three women eating bananas on a park bench.
"Do you know them?" Dr. Watson asked.
"No," Holmes replied, "I've never met the nun, the prostitute or the bride we just passed."
"Good Lord, Holmes, how in the world did you know all that?"
"Elementary, my dear Watson. The nun ate the banana by holding it one hand and using the fingers of the other hand to properly break the fruit into
small pieces."
"The prostitute," he continued, "grabbed with both hands and crammed the
whole thing into her mouth."
"Amazing!" Watson exclaimed. "But how did you know the third was a
newlywed?"
"Because she held it one hand and pushed her head toward it with the other."

wiener at her making the "woo" sound.
3. Look at your manly physique in the mirror and suck in your gut to see if
you have pecs (no). Admire the size of your wiener in the mirror, scratch

4. Get in the shower.
5. Don't bother to look for a washcloth (you don't use one).

16. Partially dry off.
17. Look at yourself in the mirror, flex muscles. Admire wiener size again.
18. Leave shower curtain open and wet bath mat on the floor.

your pelvis at her.

QUOTES FROM DENNIS MILLER
"Supporters point to Governor Bush's education record in Texas, where school test scores have actually risen. But did they really rise, or did they just hit bottom so hard that they bounced?"
"So how do I pick a president? Much the same way I choose a driver to the airport. Which one will cost me the least and not get me killed?"
"Insurance is a uniquely modern atrocity. At the dawn of man, there was no insurance. You either lived or died. There was no fast-grunting biped called "Homo Deductus" demanding a piece of your meat every month to guarantee that your fire wouldn't go out."
"Elvis is the most important musical force of the past 100 years. Look around. You don't see any Beatles impersonators, do you? Except for, you know, Oasis."
"What do we know about Gore? Well, he opposed the Vietnam war, but served over there anyway so as not to jeopardize his father's reelection bid for the Senate. And there, in a nutshell, is a shining example of Al Gore's heroic willingness to die for his complete lack of core beliefs."
"George W. Bush doesn't stand for anything other than wanting to be president. It just kills me when Bush says he's not a Washington insider. He always has that same tone of voice as Calista Flockhart when she tells Steve Kmetko that she just has a fast metabolism."
"The truth is that come November 7, we'll have a choice between twin sons of different ideological mothers. Both were raised in powerful political families. Both received Ivy League educations. Both served in non-combat capacities during the Vietnam War. And both possess the finely honed edge of a butter knife in a mental hospital cafeteria."

and the number 1 campaign slogan we'd like to hear:
1. Interns don't do Dick
WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING
Be careful what you wear (or don't wear), when working under your vehicle... especially in public. From the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia comes this story of a central west couple who drove their car to K-Mart only to have their car break down in the parking lot.
The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis.
Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.
Unable to stand the embarrassment she dutifully stepped forward and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.
The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his head.
