NEW MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS FOR MEN
With Viagra such a great medical success for increasing men's sexual prowess, Pfizer is bringing forth a whole line of drugs oriented towards improving the performance of men in today's society.. Here are a few of the new ones:
DIRECTRA - a dose of this drug given to men before leaving on car trips caused 72 percent of them to stop and ask directions when they got lost, compared to a control group of 0.2 percent.
PROJECTRA - Men given this experimental new drug were far more likely to actually finish a household repair project before starting a new one.
COMPLIMENTRA - In clinical trials, 82 percent of middle-aged men administered this drug noticed that their wives had a new hairstyle. Currently being tested to see if its effects extend to noticing new clothing.
BUYAGRA - Married and otherwise attached men reported a sudden urge to buy their sweeties expensive jewelry and gifts after talking this drug for only two days. Still to be seen: whether the drug can be continued for a period longer than your favorite store's return limit.
NEGA-VIAGRA - Has the exact opposite effect of Viagra. Currently undergoing clinical trials on sitting U.S. presidents.
NEGA-SPORTAGRA - This drug had the strange effect of making men want to turn off televised sports and actually converse with other family members.
FLYAGRA - This drug has been showing great promise in treating men with O.F.D. (Open Fly Disorder). Especially useful for men on Viagra.
PRYAGRA - About to fail its clinical trial, this drug gave men in the test group an irresistible urge to dig into the personal affairs of other people.
Note: Apparent overdose turned three test subjects into "special prosecutors."
LIAGRA - This drug causes men to be less than truthful when being asked about their sexual affairs. Will be available in Regular, Grand Jury and Presidential Strength versions.

The flattered husband said, "No, dear, they haven't."
The wife then softly inquired, "Then what in the hell gave you that idea at the party tonight?"

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME...
[Thanks to Craig]
Many Universities, government offices and businesses tend to strip the last name down to 6 characters and add the first and last initial to either the begining or end to make up an e-mail address, ie Mary L. Ferguson = mlfergus or fergusml.
They are just now beginning to realize the problems this practice may cause when you have a large and diverse pool of people to support with e-mail. Add to that a large database of company/college acronyms and you have some very funny addresses (although they are undoubtedly not funny to the individual involved).

MALE BONDING RITUALS...
[Thanks again to Brad]
A mother was walking down the hall when she heard a humming sound coming from her daughters bedroom. When she opened the door she found her daughter naked on the bed with a vibrator. "What are you doing?" she exclaimed.
The daughter replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband."
Later that week the father was in the kitchen and heard a humming sound coming from the basement. When he went downstairs, he found his daughter naked on a sofa with her vibrator. "What are you doing?" he exclaimed.
The daughter replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband."
A couple of days later the mother heard the humming sound again, this time in the living room. Upon entering the room, she found her husband watching television with the vibrator buzzing away beside him. "What are you doing?" she asked.
He replied, "Watching the game with my son-in-law."
THE RULES FOR WOMEN (ACCORDING TO MEN)
[Thanks to Craig]
- Never buy a 'new' brand of beer because "it was on sale."
- If we're in the backyard and the TV in the den is on, that doesn't mean we're not watching it.
- Don't tell anyone we can't afford a new car. Tell them we don't want one.
- Please don't drive when you're not driving.
- Don't feel compelled to tell us how all the people in your little stories are related to one another; we're just nodding, waiting for the punch line.
- If you want us to take out the garbage, you have to let us pack the car.
- The quarterback who just got pummeled isn't trying to be brave, he's just not crying. Big difference.
- When the waiter asks if everything's okay, a simple "Yes" will do.
- When I'm turning the wheel and the car is nosing onto the off-ramp, saying 'This is our exit' is not strictly necessary.
- When you're not around, I belch so loudly that I even appall myself.
- SportsCenter starts at 11 p.m. and runs one hour. This is an excellent time for you to pay bills, put laundry in the dryer, or talk to your sister.
- Is it too much to ask to have the bra match the underwear?
- If we see you in the morning and at night, why call us at work?
- Two hot dogs and a beer at a baseball game do, in fact, constitute going out to dinner.
- You probably don't want to know what we're thinking about.
- Silence does not need to be filled.
- It's in neither your interest nor ours to take the Cosmo quiz together.
- No, you can't have the remote control.
- And yes we love you more than anything even if we forget to say it.
- Please feel free to send that one around to all your friends.
SILLY SIMILES
[Thanks again to Craig]
One of the goals of a teacher is to try and stretch the skills of your students. Alas, the results are not always breathtaking. These are the results of encouraging students to use comparisons.
- From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30. (Roy Ashley, Washington)
- He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. (Joseph Romm, Washington)
- She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again. (Rich Murphy, Fairfax Station)
- The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. (Russell Beland, Springfield)
- McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup. (Paul Sabourin, Silver Spring)
- Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. (Russell Beland, Springfield)
- Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. (Unknown)
- He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree. (Jack Bross, Chevy Chase)
- The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. (Gary F. Hevel, Silver Spring)
- Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a moviethis guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man." (Russell Beland, Springfield)
- Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. (Jennifer Hart, Arlington)
- The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can. (Wayne Goode, Madison, Ala.)
- They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth (Paul Kocak, Syracuse, N.Y.)
- John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met. (Russell Beland, Springfield)
- The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play. (Barbara Fetherolf, Alexandria)
- His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like clothes in a dryer without Cling Free. (Chuck Smith, Woodbridge)
FROM THE "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" DEPARTMENT:
Doctors aren't touting one major side effect of the impotency drug, Viagra. Men will be forced to make conversation for an hour before the pill kicks in...
ONLY IN AMERICA
[Thanks again to Craig]
The British were very impressed with a NASA invention that would launch dead chickens at an airplane to simulate mid air collisions with water fowl. They immediately decided to try it on their own bullet trains. The first time they launched a chicken they sat horrified as it easily penetrated the window and broke the engineer's setback in two. They sent the test results to NASA and begged them for some design input on the problem. NASA wrote back, "Thaw the chicken."
But before NASA feels too proud . . .
Another NASA invention that became widely popular with people who had more money than things to spend it on was the pen that could write upside down and under water. When the astronauts complained about that same problem, NASA spent over a million dollars to find the answer and came up with a marvel of a pen. When the Russian cosmonauts faced that problem, they started taking pencils with them.
CALIFORNIA DRIVING
The following are a sampling of REAL answers received on exams given by the California Department of Transportation's driving school.
Q: What is the difference between a flashing red traffic light and a flashing yellow traffic light?
A: The color.
Q: Do you yield when a blind pedestrian is crossing the road?
A: What for? He can't see my license plate.
Q: Why would it be difficult to be a police officer?
A: It would be tough to be a dick all day long.
IMPORTANT TIPS FOR SAFE BOATING FUN
- When launching a boat, always back the boat into the water. Pulling the boat into the water can really mess up your carburetor.
- Always stay at least five boat-lengths behind the whale in front of you.
- While sinking to the bottom of a lake or ocean, screaming does not help.
- When boating, always wear a swimsuit with suspenders. This makes it easier on the guys with the grappling hook when they're trying to retrieve your body.
- Drowning can cause severe shortness of breath. And you don't even want to think about what it does to your complexion.
- Always wear a life jacket in case you fall overboard. Also, it's a good idea to take along something to read, in case you're swallowed by a whale. Most whales seem to enjoy Moby Dick.
- Boating while intoxicated is not illegal in some states, but it's stupid in all of them.
NEW TWISTS ON OLD ACRONYMS
Some people are sitting in a bar when one guy says, "Hi, my name is Larry, and I am a SNAG."
Another guy says, "What's that?"
The first guy says, "That means I am a Single, New Age Guy."
Another one says, "My name is Gary, and I am a DINK."
A girl asks, "What's that?"
He says, "That means I am a Double Income, No Kids."
A lady says, "That's nice. My name is Gertrude, and I am a WIFE."
Larry says, "A WIFE? What's a WIFE?"
She says, "That means, "Wash, Iron, Fuck, Etc."
ACTUAL EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS SENT TO LANDLORDS
[Thanks again to Craig]
- The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared.
- I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.
- This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door.
- The toilet seat is cracked: where do I stand?
- I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall.
- I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.
- Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.
- The person next door has a large erection in his back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.
- Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk. Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.
- Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it.
- Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny color and not fit to drink.
- Would you please send a man to repair my down spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it straight away.
- Could you please send someone to fix our bath tap. My wife got her toe stuck in it and it is very uncomfortable for us.
- I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 5:30 his cock wakes me up, and it is getting too much.
- When the workmen were here they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess. Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy.

DRACULA vs THE NUNS
Two nuns — Sister Marilyn and Sister Helen — are traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a diminutive Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.
"Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Marilyn. "What shall we do?"
"Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen.
Sister Marilyn switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns. "What shall I do now?" she shouts.
"Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water in the Vatican," says Sister Helen.
Sister Marilyn turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.
"Now what?" shouts Sister Marilyn.
"Show him your cross," says Sister Helen.
"Now you're talking," says Sister Marilyn as she opens the window and shouts, "Get the fuck off our car!"
THE LITTLE BUCCANEER
A little boy goes up to the door and rings the bell. The lady opens the door, and the boy says, "Trick or treat!"
The lady says, "Well, aren't you cute! What are you supposed to be?"
The boy, miffed because he thought it was obvious, says, "I'm a pirate!"
The lady, not realizing her gaffe, says, "Well then, where are your buccaneers?"
The boy says, "Jeez, lady, they're on my buckin' head!"
WHY PUMPKINS ARE BETTER THAN MEN
(Looks like my secret is out — can I help it if I've always gone for the strong, silent, and, well.... orange type???
After all, my Meyer-Briggs personality type is INFP — In Need oF Pumpkin...)
1. Every year you get a brand new crop to choose from.
2. No matter what your mood is, pumpkins are always ready to greet you with a smile.
3. One usually makes a better pie.
4. They are always on the doorstep there waiting for you!
5. If you don't like the way he looks, you just carve up another face.
6. If he starts getting old, you can just throw him out.
7. From the start you know a pumpkin has an empty, mush filled head to begin with.
8. A pumpkin is turned on (lit-up) only when (and for as long as) you want him to be.
TOP 13 HALLOWEEN SURVIVAL TIPS
13. When it appears that you have killed the monster, never check to see if it's really dead.
12. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
11. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
10. Never accept invitations from strangers, especially individuals who inexplicably live in isolated areas and have no contact with society.
9. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
8. If you're searching for the cause of a noise and find out that it's not just the cat, leave the room immediately if you value your life.
7. If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.
6. Do not take anything from the dead.
5. If you find a town which is deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.
4. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.
3. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylavania, Nilbog, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
2. If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help.
1. Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any device made from deceased companions.

THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE
[Thanks again to Craig]
One day, the Lord decided to make a companion for Adam. He summoned St. Peter and told him of his decision. He told St. Peter that he wanted to make a being who was similar to man, yet was different, and could offer him comfort, companionship and pleasure. The Lord said he would call this being a woman.
So St. Peter went about creating this being which was similar to man yet was different in ways that would be appealing and could provide physical pleasure to man. When St. Peter had finished creating this being who could now be called woman he summoned The Lord.
"Ah, St. Peter, once again you have done an excellent job," said The Lord.
"Thank You, Great One," replied St. Peter. "I am now ready to provide the brain, nerve endings and senses to the being, this woman. I require your assistance on this matter, Lord."
"You shall make her brain slightly smaller, yet more intuitive, more feeling, more compassionate, and more adaptable than man's," said The Lord.
"The nerve endings," said St. Peter. "How many will I put in her hands?"
"How many did we put in Adam?" asked The Lord.
"Two hundred, my Lord," replied St. Peter.
"Then we shall do the same for this woman," said The Lord.
"And how many nerve endings shall we put in her feet?" inquired St. Peter.
"How many did we put in Adam?" asked The Lord.
"Seventy-five, my Lord," replied St. Peter.
"Ah yes, these beings are constantly on their feet, so they benefit from having less nerve endings there. Do the same for woman," said the Lord.
"How many nerve endings should we put in woman's genitals?" inquired St. Peter.
"How many did we put in Adam?" asked The Lord.
"Four hundred and twenty, my Lord," replied St. Peter.
"Of course we did want Adam to have a means of receiving extra pleasure in his life, didn't we? Do the same for woman," said The Lord.
"Yes, my Lord," said St. Peter.
"No, wait," said The Lord. "Screw it, give her ten thousand! I want her to scream my name!"
Well, now you know!
