A brunette from the South and a blonde from the North were seated side by side on a plane.

Being friendly, the woman from the South asked, "Where ya'll from?"

The woman from the South sat quietly for a few moments and then replied, "So where ya'll from, Bitch?"



TOP 10 PROBLEMS WITH TANTRIC SEX
[Thanks to Brad]
(Sigh, we should all have such "problems"...)


10. You can't decide whether to leave the lights on or off; since both ways are just so damned exciting.
9. When you're absolutely exhausted and NOT in the mood, you're partner simply looks deep into your eyes and sets your libido ablaze.
8. You yearn for a simple quickie; but it always seems to last for hours and hours.
7. You yearn for routine, mechanical sex, but it's different every time.
6. One orgasm is just never enough — IS IT?
5. You can't have sex in the morning unless you start at midnight the night before.
4. Sex doesn't end with an orgasm, it begins with one.
3. Sex doesn't end.
2. Orgasms never end.
1. The bed is one huge wet spot which you BOTH contributed to; so you BOTH have to sleep in it.



20 WAYS TO CONFUSE TRICK-OR-TREATERS

1. Give away something other than candy. (Toothpicks, golf balls, bags of sand, etc.)
2. Wait behind the door until some people come. When they get near the door, jump out, wearing a costume, and holding a bag, and yell, "Trick or Treat!" Look at them, scratch your head, and act confused.
3. Fill a briefcase with marbles and crackers. Write on it, "Top Secret" in big letters. When trick-or-treaters come, look around suspiciously, say, "It's about time you got here," give them the briefcase, and quickly shut the door.
4. Get about 30 people to wait in your living room. When trick-or-treaters come to the door, say, "Come in." When they do, have everyone yell, "Surprise!!!" Act like it's a surprise party.
5. Get everyone who comes to the door to come in and see if they can figure out what's wrong with your dishwasher. Insist that it makes an unnatural "whirring" sound.
6. After you give them candy, hand the trick-or-treaters a bill.
7. Open the door dressed as a giant fish. Immediately collapse, and don't move or say anything until the trick-or-treaters go away.
8. When you answer the door, hold up one candy bar, throw it out into the street, and yell, "Crawl for it!"
9. When you answer the door, look at the trick-or-treaters, act shocked and scared, and start screaming your head off. Slam the door and run around the house, screaming until they go away.
10. Insist that the trick-or-treaters each do ten push-ups before you give them any candy.
11. Hand out menus to the trick-or-treaters and let them order their candy. Keep asking if anyone wants to see the wine list.
12. Get a catapult. Sit on your porch and catapult pumpkins at anyone who comes within 50 yards of your house.
13. When people come to the door, jump out a nearby window, crashing through the glass, and run as far away from your house as you can.
14. Answer the door dressed as a pilgrim. Stare at the trick-or-treaters for a moment, pretend to be confused, and start flipping through a calendar.
15. Instead of candy, give away colored eggs. If anyone protests, explain that the eggs are the only thing you had left over from Easter.
16. Answer the door dressed as a dentist. Angrily give the trick-or-treaters a two-hour lecture on tooth decay.
17. Answer the door with a mouthful of M & M's and several half-eaten candy bars in your hands. Act surprised, and close the door. Open it again in a few seconds, and insist that you don't have any candy.
18. Hand out cigarettes and bottles of asprin.
19. Put a crown on a pumpkin and put the pumpkin on a throne on your porch. Insist that all of the trick-or-treaters bow before the pumpkin.
20. Dress up like a bunny rabbit. Yell and curse from the moment you open the door, and angrily throw the candy at the trick-or-treaters. Slam the door when you're finished.

AH, THE MIRACLES OF SCIENCE...
[Thanks to Sharon]


A married couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it and agreed.

The doctor set the knob to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain that the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer.

The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this, they decided to try for 50%.

The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic.

When they got home from the hospital, they found the mailman dead on their front porch.

Those are my rules. Any comments?"

NEOSYLLOGISMS FOR WORD LOVERS
[Thanks again to Brad]






LITERARY SKILLS
[Thanks to Peter]


A koala bear meets a hooker in a bar and they decide to go back to her place. They get undressed, the koala bear proceeds to perform oral sex on the hooker for 3 hours straight and she has multiple orgasms. Afterwards, as he starts putting his clothes back on, the hooker says, "Oh my god, that was great! But now I need my money." The koala bear just looks at her and shrugs.

The hooker says, "No, I really need my money. I'm a hooker and this is how I make my living." The koala bear just looks at her and continues getting dressed. The hooker gets up, goes to the bookshelf, grabs a dictionary, thumbs through it until she gets to "hooker" and hands it to the koala bear. It reads, "hooker (hook' er) n. — 1. A person who has sex for money. 2. A prostitute."

The koala bear looks at her, then thumbs through the dictionary until he reaches "koala bear", then hands it to the hooker and walks out the door. Dumfounded, the hooker looks down at the dictionary and reads, "koala bear (ko-a' le bar) n. — An Australian arboreal marsupial having dense gray fur that eats bushes and leaves."



THE TEST

Two Trojan football players were taking an important final exam. If they failed, they would be on academic probation and not allowed to play in the Aloha Bowl the following week.

The exam was fill-in-the-blank. The last question read, "Old MacDonald had a ____."

Bubba was stumped. He had no idea of the answer. He knew he needed to get this one right to be sure he passed. Making sure the professor wasn't watching, he tapped Tiny on the shoulder. "Pssst. Tiny. What's the answer to the last question?"

Tiny laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn't noticed then he turned to Bubba. "Bubba, you're so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a farm."

"Oh yeah," said Bubba. "I remember now."

He picked up his No. 2 pencil and started to write the answer in the blank. He stopped. Reaching to tap Tiny's shoulder again, he whispered, "Tiny, how do you spell farm?"

"You are really dumb, Bubba. That's so easy. Farm is spelled E-I-E-I-O."



THE PARTY

The scene was Mount Olympus, where Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, had thrown a party for a pair of visiting Roman deities — Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, and Janus, the two-faced god of doors and beginnings.

Everyone overdid it, more or less. Ceres at one point was staggering and turning in circles; Janus, equally submerged, was trying to dance with her. Bacchus feared that the pair might fall over, so he went to steady them. .... This marked the first time that a whirled Ceres was held with a double-header.



A WOMAN'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK

A FRACTURED FAIRY TALE
[Thanks again to Brad and Craig]


Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect.

One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car (a Grand Caravan) along a winding road, when they noticed someone in distress at the side of the road. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help.

Lo and behold, there stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys.
Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an awful accident. Only one of them survived the accident.

WHO WAS THE SURVIVOR? SCROLL DOWN FOR THE ANSWER.

*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

*
*


The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus, and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

NOTE: WOMEN STOP READING HERE; THAT IS THE END OF THE JOKE.

NOTE: MEN CONTINUE SCROLLING.

*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident in the first place.

By the way, if you're a woman and you're reading this, this illustrates another point: Women never listen.
