Rob was sitting at the table one morning, reading the paper after breakfast. He came across an article about a beautiful actress who was about to marry a football player known for his lack of IQ.
He turned to his wife and said, ‘I’ll never understand why the biggest jerks get the most attractive wives.”Why, thank you, Dear!’ she replied.


 

This 60 year old woman was walking along 5th Avenue when she heard a voice from above
‘You will live to be 100.’
She looked around and didn’t see anyone. Again she heard ‘You will live to be 100.’
Boy, she thought to herself, that was the voice of God. I’ve got 40 more years to live!
So off she went to the plastic surgeon. She got everything fixed from head to toe.
When she left the plastic surgeon’s office, she got hit by a bus,died, and went up to heaven.
She said to God ‘You told me I would live to be 100. I was supposed to have had 40 more years. So how come you let the bus kill me?’
God said: ‘I didn’t recognize you’

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.


 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend.
‘Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.’
Watson replies, ‘I see millions of stars.’
‘What does that tell you?’
Watson ponders for a minute.’ Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?’
Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks,’ Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.’


 

An American farmer was on holiday in Wales. He could not resist exploring the hill farms north of Aberystwyth. At lunch time he dropped into a pub and fell into easy conversation with a Welsh farmer.
‘How big is your spread?’ , asked the American. ‘Well look you, it’s about 20 acres he said’ . Only 20 acres the American responded, back in Texas I can get up at sunrise, saddle my horse and ride all day, when I return at supper time, I’ll be lucky to cover half my farm’. ‘Dew dew’ , said the Welshman, ‘I once had horse like that, but sent him to the knackers yard.


 

Three Engineers are riding in a car: an Electrical engineer, a Chemical engineer, and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly the car stalls and stops by the side of the road. The three engineers look at each other with bewilderment, wondering what could be wrong. The electrical engineer, not knowing much about mechanics suggests, ‘Let’s strip down the electronics of the car and try to trace where a fault might have occurred.’The chemical Engineer, not knowing much about electronics suggests, ‘Maybe the fuel has become emulsified and is causing a blockage somewhere in the system.’ The Microsoft engineer suggests, ‘Why don’t we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it will work.’

A man, about to enter hospital, saw two white coated doctors searching through the flower beds. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘have you lost something?’

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules.
‘The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $25 the first time.’
He continued, ‘Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $50. Being caught a third time will incur a hefty fine of $100. Are there any questions?’

Tipper Gore discovered that her husband’s great great uncle, Gunther Gore, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Tennessee in 1889.
The only existing photograph shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: “Gunther Gore; horse thief. Sent to Tennessee Prison 1883, escaped 1887. Robbed the Tennessee Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”
After letting President Clinton’s large staff of professional image consultants review this discovery, they took the following actions to assist Al’s campaign to become our next president. They decided to crop Gunther’s picture, scan it in as an enlarged image, and edited it with image processing software so that all that is seen in the final picture is a head shot. Along with this enhanced photo, the accompanying biographical sketch was sent to the Associated Press:
“Gunther Gore was a famous cattleman in early Tennessee history. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Tennessee railroad company. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his business enterprise with the railroad. In 1887 he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889 Gunther regrettably died suddenly during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform on which he was standing collapsed.
