<p>&#8220;I have to have a raise,&#8221; the man said to his boss. &#8220;There are three other companies after me.&#8221;<br />&#8220;Is that so?&#8221; asked the manager.<br />&#8220;What other companies are after you?&#8221;<br />&#8220;The electric company, the telephone company, and the gas company,&#8221; said the man. </p>
<p><span id="more-210"></span><br />
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify">The CEO was scheduled to give the keynote address at an important convention so he asked one of his top employees, John, to write a punchy, 20 minute speech for him. When the CEO returned from the big event, he was furious. &#8220;What&#8217;s the idea of writing me an hour long speech?!&#8221;? he demanded. <br /> &#8220;Half the audience walked out before I was finished.&#8221;<br />John was baffled. &#8220;I wrote you a 20 minute speech,&#8221; he replied. &#8220;I also gave you the two extra copies you asked for.&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify"> Boss (to the new employee): &#8220;We are very keen on cleanliness. Did you wipe your feet on the mat as you came in?&#8221;<br /> ?New employee: &#8220;Yes, sir.&#8221;<br />Boss: &#8220;We are also keen on truthfulness. There is no mat.&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify">The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present.<br />&#8220;Who is the most obedient?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Who never talks back to mother? Who does everything she says?&#8221;<br />Five small voices answered in unison, &#8220;Okay, daddy, you get the toy.&#8221; </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify"> Mother : &#8220;What are you writing Ram?&#8221;<br />Ram : &#8220;I&#8217;m writing a Letter to Baby Sham&#8221;<br />Mother : &#8220;But you don&#8217;t know to write!&#8221;<br />Ram : &#8220;So What?, Sham doesn&#8217;t know how to read either.&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify"> A man was sitting in a bar and noticed a group of people using sign language. He also noticed that the bartender was using sign language to speak to them. When the bartender returned to him, the man asked how he had learned to use sign language. The bartender explained that these were regular customers who had taught him to sign. The man thought that was great. A few minutes later, the man noticed that the people in the group were waving their hands around very wildly. The bartender looked over and signed, &#8220;Now cut that out! I warned you!&#8221; and threw the group out of the bar. The man asked why he had done that, and the bartender said, &#8220;If I told them once, I&#8217;ve told them a 100 times &#8212; NO SINGING IN THE BAR!&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify">Two college students, Frank and Matt, are riding on a New York City subway when a beggar approaches them asking for spare change. <br />Frank adamantly rejects the man in disgust. Matt, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couples of singles and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile. The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues on to the other passengers. Frank is outraged by his friend&#8217;s act of generosity. &#8220;What on earth did you do that for?&#8221; shouts Frank. &#8220;You know he&#8217;s only going to use it on drugs or booze.&#8221;<br />Matt replies, &#8220;And we weren&#8217;t?&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p align="justify"> A college drama group presented a play in which one character would stand on a trapdoor and announce, &#8220;I descend into hell!&#8221; A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would open, and the character would plunge through. The play was well received. When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. When the new actor announced, &#8220;I descend into hell!&#8221; the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend. One student in the balcony jumped up and yelled: &#8220;Hallelujah! Hell is full!&#8221;</p>

<p>One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted, &#8220;Look at that dead bird!&#8221; <br />Someone looked up at the sky and, said : &#8220;Where???&#8221; </p>
<p><span id="more-209"></span></p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. <br />He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. <br />He thought about it for some time before responding. &#8220;Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.  The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah (in bible) was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. <br /> The little girl said, &#8220;When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah&#8221;. <br /> The teacher asked, &#8220;What if Jonah went to hell?&#8221; <br /> The little girl replied, &#8220;Then you ask him&#8221;.</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p> The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. &#8220;Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, &#8220;There&#8217;s Jennifer, she&#8217;s a lawyer,&#8221; or &#8220;That&#8217;s Michael, He&#8217;s a doctor.&#8221;<br /> A small voice at the back of the room rang out, &#8220;And there&#8217;s the teacher, she&#8217;s dead.&#8221; </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>Joe and Joan were sitting down to their usual morning cup of coffee listening to the weather report on the radio. &#8220;There will be 3 to 5 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared,&#8221; the weather report said. &#8220;You must park your cars on the odd numbered side of the streets.&#8221; Joe said, &#8220;Jeez, okay,&#8221; and got up from his coffee.<br />The next day they were sitting down with their morning cups of coffee. The weather forecast was, &#8220;There will be 2 to 4 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared. You must park your cars on the even numbered side of the streets.&#8221; Again Joe replied, &#8220;Jeez, okay,&#8221; and got up from his coffee. </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>Two days later, again they`re sitting down with their cups of coffee and the weather forecast said, &#8220;There will be 6 to 8 inches of snow today, and a snow emergency has been declared. You must park your cars on the&#8230;&#8221; and the power went out and Joe didn`t get the rest of the instructions.He turned to Joan, &#8220;Jeez, what am I going to do now, Joan?&#8221;<br />Joan replied, &#8220;Aw, Joe, just leave the car in the darned garage today.&#8221; </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>Three buddies are sitting around talking one day when they begin to discuss what they would like their friends and families to say about them as they`re laying in their caskets at their funerals.<br />The first man says, &#8220;I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time, and a great family man.&#8221; <br />The second man says, &#8220;I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher which made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow.&#8221;<br />The last guy replies, &#8220;I would like to hear them say&#8230; LOOK!! HE`S MOVING!!!&#8221; </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>The manager of a large corporation got a heart attack, and the doctor told him to go for several weeks to a farm to relax. The guy went to a farm, and after a couple of days he was very bored, so he asked the farmer to give him some job to do.<br />The farmer told him to clean the shit of the cows. The farmer thought that to somebody coming from the city, working the whole life sitting in an office, it will take over a week to finish the job, but for his surprise the manager finished the job in less than one day.<br />The next day the farmer gave to the manager a more difficult job: to cut the heads of 300 chickens. The farmer was sure that the manager will not be able to do the job, but at the end of the day the job was done.<br />The next morning, as most of the jobs in the farm were done, the farmer asked the manager to divide a bag of potatoes in two boxes: one box with small potatoes, and one box with big potatoes.<br />At the end of the day the farmer saw that the manager was sitting in front of the potatoes bag, but the two boxes were empty.<br />The farmer asked the manager, &#8220;How is that you made such difficult jobs during the first days, and now you cannot do this simple job?&#8221;<br />The manager answered, &#8220;Listen, all my life I&#8217;m cutting heads and dealing with shit, but now you ask me to make decisions.&#8221; </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p>The young lady came home from a date, rather sad. She told her mother, &#8220;Jeff proposed to me an hour ago.&#8221;<br />&#8220;Then why are you so sad?&#8221; her mother asked.<br />&#8220;Because he also told me he was an atheist. Mom, he doesn`t even believe there`s a hell.&#8221;<br />Her mother replied, &#8220;Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we`ll show him how wrong he is.&#8221; </p>

<p>A college student writes to his parents&#8230;<br />Dear Mom and Dad,<br />I feel miserable because I have to keep writing for money. I feel ashamed and unhappy. I have to ask for another two hundred, but every cell in my body rebels. I beg on bended knee that you forgive me.<br />Your son,<br />Johnnie.<br />P.S. -? I felt so terrible, I ran after the mailman who picked this up in the box at the corner. I wanted to take this letter and burn it. I prayed that I could get it back. But it was too late.<br />A few days later he received a letter from his father. It said,<br />&#8220;Your prayers were answered. Your letter never arrived!&#8221; </p>

<p>A Captain asked a sailor, &#8220;Where did your father die?&#8221; <br />&#8220;He drowned at sea.&#8221;<br />&#8220;And your grandfather?&#8221;<br />&#8220;At sea too.&#8221;<br />&#8220;Aren?t you afraid of the sea?&#8221;<br />The sailor retorted, &#8220;Sir, where did your father die?&#8221;<br />&#8220;In bed.&#8221;<br />&#8220;And your grandfather?&#8221;<br />&#8220;In bed too.&#8221;<br />&#8220;Sir, aren?t you afraid to go to bed every night where your father and grandfather died?&#8221; </p>

<p>Recently I answered the phone and it was a sales person from a long distance company. They asked for my late father by name. <br />&#8220;I`m sorry,&#8221; I answered, &#8220;but he`s dead.&#8221; <br />Their reply, &#8220;May I leave a number in case the situation changes?&#8221; </p>

<div align="justify">Two men waiting at the Pearly Gates strike up a conversation.? &#8220;How&#8217;d you die?&#8221; the first man asks the second.<br /> &#8220;I froze to death,&#8221; says the second.<br /> &#8220;That&#8217;s awful,&#8221; says the first man. &#8220;How does it feel to freeze to  death?&#8221;<br /> &#8220;It&#8217;s very uncomfortable at first,&#8221; says the second man, &#8220;You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes. But eventually, it&#8217;s a very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if you&#8217;re sleeping. How about you, how did you die?&#8221;<br /> &#8220;I had a heart attack,&#8221; says the first man. &#8220;You see, I knew my wife was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly. I ran up to the bedroom, and found her alone, knitting. I ran down to the basement, but no one was hiding there, either. I ran up to the second floor, but no one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could to the attic, and just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack and died.&#8221;<br /> The second man shakes his head. &#8220;That&#8217;s so ironic,&#8221; he says.<br /> &#8220;What do you mean?&#8221; asks the first man.<br /> &#8220;If you had only stopped to look in the freezer, we&#8217;d both still  be alive.&#8221; </div>

<div align="justify">There was a man that wanted to get a job. The problem was he couldn&#8217;t speak much English. The owner decided to give him an English test, &#8220;give me a sentence with pink, green and yellow.&#8221;<br /> So, he said &#8220;I walked into my office and my phone went green green, so I pinked it up and said yellow.&#8221;</div>

<div align="justify"> Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant.

Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back.&#8217; <br />&#8216;I see,&#8217; the accountant said. &#8216;And how much does the job pay?&#8217; <br />&#8216;I&#8217;ll start you at eighty thousand.&#8217; <br />&#8216;Eighty thousand dollars!&#8217; the accountant exclaimed. &#8216;How can such a small business afford a sum like that?&#8217; <br />&#8216;That,&#8217; the owner said, &#8216;is your first worry.&#8217; </div>

He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn&#8217;t show up for two weeks. Finally, the director sent for him. &#8220;I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow,&#8221; said the director, &#8220;and I&#8217;m depending on you. What will the weather be like?&#8221;<br />The Indian shrugged his shoulders. &#8220;Don&#8217;t know,&#8221; he said, &#8220;Radio is broken.&#8221; </div>

Finding nothing, the man said, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing in here about fifty people being swindled.&#8221;<br />The newsboy ignored him and went on, calling out, &#8216;Read all about it.

<div align="justify"> A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives. <br />She approached one of the women for an explanation. <br /> &#8220;This is marvelous,&#8221; said the journalist, &#8220;What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?&#8221;<br />The Kuwaiti women replied, &#8220;Land mines.&#8221;</div>

Along with this enhanced photo, the accompanying biographical sketch was sent to the Associated Press: <br /> &#8220;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.

<p align="justify">A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft&#8217;s electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter&#8217;s position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said &#8216;WHERE AM I?&#8217; in large letters. </p>
<p align="justify">People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said &#8216;YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.&#8217; </p>
<p align="justify">The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how he had done it. <br />&#8216;I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.&#8217;</p>

<p align="justify">&#8216;But you couldn&#8217;t possibly know the day before you were going to die, so how could you sell it?&#8217;</p>
<p align="justify">&#8216;Simple: If I sell it, my wife would kill me!&#8217;</p>

<div align="justify">Five doctors went duck hunting one day. Included in the group were a GP, a pediatrician, a psychiatrist, a surgeon and a pathologist. After a time, a bird came winging overhead. The first to react was the GP who raised his shotgun, but then hesitated.</div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;I&#8217;m not quite sure it&#8217;s a duck,&#8217; he said, &#8216;I think that I will have to get a second opinion.&#8217; And of course by that time, the bird was long gone.<br />Another bird appeared in the sky thereafter. This time, the pediatrician drew a bead on it. He too, however, was unsure if it was really a duck in his sights and besides, it might have babies. &#8216;I&#8217;ll have to do some more investigations,&#8217; he muttered, as the creature made good its escape.</div>
<div align="justify">Next to spy a bird flying was the sharp-eyed psychiatrist. Shotgun shouldered, he was more certain of his intended prey&#8217;s identity.</div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;Now, I know it&#8217;s a duck, but does it know it&#8217;s a duck?&#8217; The fortunate bird disappeared while the fellow wrestled with this dilemma.</div>
<div align="justify">Finally, a fourth fowl sped past and this time the surgeon&#8217;s weapon pointed skywards. BOOM!! The surgeon lowered his smoking gun and turned nonchalantly to the pathologist beside him.</div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;Go see if that was a duck, will you?&#8217; </div>

<div align="justify">A group of attorneys had to measure the height of a flag pole for evidence to support a lawsuit. They went out to the flagpole with ladders and a tape measure. They proceed to fall off the ladders and drop the tape measure, the whole thing was just a mess. An engineer comes along and sees what they&#8217;re trying to do. He walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurements to one of the attorneys and walks away. After the engineer has gone, one attorney turns to another and laughs, &#8216;Isn&#8217;t that just like an engineer. We&#8217;re looking for the height, and he gives us the length&#8217;</div>

<div align="justify">At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more trustworthy. &#8216;No woman,&#8217; said one man, scornfully, &#8216;can keep a secret.&#8217; </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;I don&#8217;t know about that,&#8217; answered a woman guest. &#8216;I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-one.&#8217; </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;You&#8217;ll let it out some day,&#8217; the man insisted. </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;I hardly think so!&#8217; responded the lady. &#8216;When a woman has kept a secret for twenty-seven years, she can keep it forever.&#8217; </div>

<div align="justify">This minister just had all of his remaining teeth pulled and new dentures were being made. <br /> The first Sunday, he only preached ten minutes.<br />The second Sunday, he preached only twenty minutes.<br /> But, on the third Sunday, he preached 1 hour 25 minutes.<br />When asked about this by some of the congregation, he responded this way.<br />The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk.<br />The second Sunday, my dentures were hurting a lot.<br />The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife&#8217;s dentures&#8230; and I couldn&#8217;t stop talking! </div>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<div align="justify">The woman&#8217;s husband had been slipping in and out of a coma forseveral months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. </div>
<div align="justify">As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, &#8216;You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side&#8230; You know what?&#8217; </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;What dear?&#8217; She gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth. </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;I think you&#8217;re bad luck.&#8217; </div>

<div align="justify">The cruise ship magician has been doing his routines every night for two years now. The audiences appreciate him, and they change over often enough that he doesn?t have to worry too much about new tricks. However, there is a parrot who sits in the back row and watches him night after night.</div>
<div align="justify">?</div>
<div align="justify"> Finally the parrot figures out how the tricks are done and starts giving it away for the audience. When the magician makes a bouquet of flowers disappear, the parrot squawks, &#8216;Behind his back! It?s behind his back!&#8217; This infuriates the magician, but he can&#8217;t just kill the parrot because it belongs to the captain.</p>
<p>One day, the ship springs a leak and sinks. The magician manages to swim to a plank of wood floating by and grabs on. Low and behold, the parrot is sitting on the other end. They just stare at each other as they drift and drift. They drift for three days and still don?t speak. On the morning of the fourth day, the parrot looks over at the magician and says: &#8216;OK, I give up. Where did you hide the ship?&#8217;</div>

<div align="justify">Dining out one evening, I noticed six teenagers boisterously celebrating some event at a nearby table. Toward their end of their meal, one of them got up and produced a camera. </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;Hey, wait a minute,&#8217; one of her companions said. &#8216;You have to be in the picture too.&#8217; </div>
<div align="justify">When I approached and asked if I could help, the girl who owned the camera was delighted. I snapped a picture of the group and then, being unfamiliar with the camera, I asked her, &#8216;Do you want me to take another in case that one doesn&#8217;t come out?&#8217; </div>
<div align="justify">&#8216;Oh, no, that&#8217;s okay,&#8217; she chirped innocently. &#8216;I always get double prints.&#8217;</div>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<div align="justify">Some tourists in the Chicago Museum of Natural History are marveling at the dinosaur bones. One of them asks the guard, &#8216;Can you tell me how old the dinosaur bones are?&#8217;</div>
<div align="justify">The guard replies, &#8216;They are 3 million, four years, and six months old.&#8217;</div>

<p id="o9px0" align="justify">There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.When asked to define &#8220;great&#8221; he said, &#8220;I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!&#8221;</p>
<p id="o9px0" align="justify">He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.  </p>
<p><span id="more-205"></span>
<div align="justify">  </div>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<p id="o9px0" align="justify">A completely inebriated man was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve got to take you in, pal. You&#8217;re obviously drunk.&#8221;</p>
<p id="o9px0" align="justify">Our wasted friend asked, &#8220;Officer, are ya absolutely sure I&#8217;m drunk?&#8221;</p>
<p id="o9px0" align="justify">&#8220;Yeah, buddy, I&#8217;m sure,&#8221; said the copper. &#8220;Let&#8217;s go.&#8221;</p>
<p id="o9px0" align="justify">Breathing a sigh of relief, the wino said, &#8220;Thank goodness, I thought I was crippled.&#8221;   </p>
<p id="o9px0" align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />
<div align="justify">        </div>
<p id="o9px1" align="justify">Julie&#8217;s computer quit working so she called the tech guy. Since she had        to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, &#8220;I&#8217;ll leave the        key under the mat. Fix the computer, leave the bill on the table, and        I&#8217;ll mail you a cheque.&#8221;</p>
<p id="o9px1" align="justify">&#8220;Oh, by the way don&#8217;t worry about my bulldog Tommy. He won&#8217;t bother        you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!&#8221;</p>
<div align="justify">     </div>
<p id="o9px3" align="justify">        &#8220;I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!&#8221;</p>
<p id="o9px3" align="justify">When the repairman arrived at Julie&#8217;s apartment the following day, he discovered        the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he had ever seen. But, just as she        had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go        about his work.</p>
<div align="justify">          </div>
<p id="o9px5" align="justify">The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling,        cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn&#8217;t contain himself        any longer and yelled,&#8221;Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!&#8221;</p>
<div align="justify">     </div>
<p align="justify">To which the parrot replied, &#8220;Get him, Tommy!&#8221;</p>

<hr width="100%" size="2" />A social worker is facing a mugger with a gun. &#8220;Your money or your life!&#8221; says the mugger. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; the social worker answers, &#8220;I am a social worker, so I have no money and no life.&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />The MBA guy and the Engineer are camped in the desert, set up their tent, and fell asleep. Some hours later, The MBA wakes his friend. </p>
<p>&#8220;Look up at the sky and tell me what you see.&#8221; </p>
<p>The friend replies, &#8220;I see millions of stars.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;What does that tell you?&#8221; asks the MBA. </p>
<p>The Engineer guy ponders for a minute. </p>
<p>&#8220;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&#8217;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?&#8221; </p>
<p>The MBA guy is silent for a moment, then speaks, &#8220;You idiot, someone has stolen our tent.&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.</p>
<p> There was only one problem: The captain&#8217;s parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show.</p>
<p> &#8220;Look, it&#8217;s not the same hat!&#8221; &#8220;Look, he&#8217;s hiding the flowers under the table!&#8221; &#8220;Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?&#8221;<br /> The magician was furious but couldn&#8217;t do anything, it was the captain&#8217;s parrot after all.</p>
<p> One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot was by his side.</p>
<p> They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for several days.<br /> After a week the parrot finally said, &#8220;Okay, I give up. What&#8217;d you do with the boat?&#8221; </p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />When the usher noticed a man stretched across three seats in the movie theater, he walked over and whispered &#8220;Sorry sir, but you are allowed only one seat.&#8221; The man moaned but didn&#8217;t budge.
<p align="justify">?&#8221;Sir,&#8221; the usher said more loudly, &#8220;if you don&#8217;t move, I&#8217;ll have to call the manager.&#8221; The man moaned again but stayed where he was. The usher left and returned with the manager, who, after several attempts at dislodging the fellow, called the police.</p>
<p align="justify"> The cop looked at the reclining man and said, &#8220;All right, what&#8217;s your name, joker?&#8221; &#8220;Joe&#8221;, he mumbled. &#8220;And where are you from, Joe?&#8221; Joe responds painfully, &#8220;The balcony!&#8221;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />A lady goes for a job interview in an office. The interviewer decides to start with the basics. &#8220;So, miss, can you tell us your age, please?&#8221;
<p align="justify">The lady counts carefully on her fingers for about 30 seconds before replying &#8220;Ehhhh .. 22!&#8221;.  </p>
<p align="justify">The interviewer looks at her a little puzzled and then tries another straightforward one to break the ice. &#8220;And can you tell us your height, please?&#8221;.</p>
<p align="justify">The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces &#8220;Five foot two!&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">This isn&#8217;t looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics. &#8220;And ehh, just to confirm for our records, your nameplease?&#8221;<br /> The lady bobs her head from side to side for about twenty seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying &#8220;Mandy!&#8221;.</p>
<p align="justify">The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks, &#8220;Just out of curiosity, miss. We can understand your counting on your fingers to work out your age, and the measuring tape for your height is obvious, but what were you doing when we asked you your name?&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;Ohh that!&#8221;, she replies, &#8220;That&#8217;s just me running through, &#8216;Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you&#8230;.&#8217; .&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight dinner, soft?music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2" />

<p id="rv0m" align="justify"> Once all the scientists die and go to heaven. They decide to play hide-n-seek. Unfortunately Einstein is the one who has the den. He is supposed to count upto 100 and then start searching for the others..</p>
<div align="justify">    </div>
<p id="vbtz" align="justify">Everyone starts hiding except Newton.</p>
<div align="justify">   </div>
<p id="e1uf" align="justify">Newton just draws a square of 1 meter and stands in it right in front of Einstein. Einstein&#39;s counting 1,2,3&#8230;97,98,99&#8230;100.&nbsp; He opens his eyes and finds Newton standing right in front of him. Einstein says &quot;Newton&#39;s out&#8230;Newton&#39;s out&#8230;&quot;</p>
<div align="justify">       </div>
<p id="cb3m" align="justify">Newton denies it and says, &quot;I am not out and I am not Newton.&quot;</p>
<p id="cb3m" align="justify">All the scientists come out to see how he proves that he is not Newton. Newton says &quot;I am standing in a square of area 1 m squared which makes me Newton per meter squared, and since one Newton per meter square is a Pascal, I&#39;m Pascal, therefore Pascal is OUT.&quot;</p>

<p id="bg_s" align="justify"> A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone.He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p id="sjso" align="justify">The boy asked, &quot;Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?&quot;</p>
<p id="sjso" align="justify">The woman replied, &quot;I already have someone to cut my lawn.&quot;</p>
<div align="justify">  </div>
<div align="justify">  </div>
<p id="b4j1" align="justify"> &quot;Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now,&quot; replied the boy.</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p id="kdfy" align="justify">The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn.</p>
<div align="justify">   </div>
<p id="v8ik" align="justify">The little boy found more perseverance, and offered, &quot;Lady, I&#39;ll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of North Palm beach, Florida.&quot;</p>
<p id="v8ik" align="justify">Again the woman answered in the negative. With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. </p>
<div align="justify">  </div>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p id="jrlv" align="justify"> The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy and said, &quot;Son, I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.&quot;</p>
<p id="jrlv" align="justify">The little boy replied, &quot;No thanks, I was just checking my performance with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to!&quot;</p>

<div align="justify">    </div>
<p id="rfbx" align="justify">She descended a bit more and shouted, &quot;Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don&#39;t know where I am.&quot;</p>
<div align="justify">   </div>
<p id="ajag" align="justify">The man below replied &quot;You&#39;re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You&#39;re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.&quot;</p>
<p id="ajag" align="justify">&quot;You must be an engineer,&quot; said the balloonist. &quot;I am,&quot; replied the man. </p>

<p id="iteq" align="justify"> &quot;How did you know?&quot;</p>
<div align="justify">   </div>
<p id="e7px" align="justify">&quot;Well,&quot; answered the balloonist, &quot;everything you told me is technically correct, but I&#39;ve no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I&#39;m still lost. Frankly, you&#39;ve not been much help at all. If anything, you&#39;ve delayed my trip even more.&quot;</p>

<p align="justify">A man comes out of a shopping mall to find that one side of his parked car is rammed in. Seeing a note under the windshield, he reads it. Written on&nbsp; the paper is:</p>
<p align="justify">About a dozen people are watching me as I am&nbsp;writing this. They think I&#39;m penning down my name, phone number, and insurance company. But I&#39;m not&#8230;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">The teacher of the earth science class was lecturing on map reading.</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and minutes the teacher asked, &quot;Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude, where would you be joining me?&quot;</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">After a confused silence, a voice volunteered, &quot;I guess you&#39;d be eating alone.&quot;</p>
<hr />
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">During a recent publicity outing, Jennifer sneaked off to visit a fortune teller of some local repute. In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news. &quot;There&#39;s no easy way to say this, so I&#39;ll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year.&quot; </p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">Visibly shaken, Jennifer stared at the woman&#39;s lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the fortune teller&#39;s gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question: &quot;Will I be acquitted?&quot;</p>

<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting&nbsp;together for Christmas, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. <br />The first said, &quot;I built a big house for our mother.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">The second said, &quot;I sent her a Mercedes.&quot;&nbsp;</p>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<p align="justify">The third smiled and said, &quot;I&#39;ve got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can&#39;t see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He&#39;s one of a kind. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks:</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;Dear Milton,&quot; she wrote one son, &quot;The house you built is too huge. I live in only one room, but I have to keep the whole house clean!&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;Dear Gerald,&quot; she wrote to another, &quot;I am too old to travel. I stay at home most of the time, so I rarely use the Mercedes.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;Dearest Donald,&quot; she wrote to her third son, &quot;You have the good sense to know what your Mother likes. The chicken was Dee-licious!&quot;</p>

<div align="justify">  </div>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;After church on Sunday morning, Little Johnny suddenly announced to his mother, &quot;Mom, I&#39;ve decided I&#39;m going to be a minister when I grow up.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;That&#39;s okay with us,&quot; his mother said, &quot;But what made you decide to be a minister?&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;Well,&quot; Little Johnny replied, &quot;I&#39;ll have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still and listen.&quot;</p>

<p align="justify">It is well documented that for every mile that you jog, you add one minute to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.</p>

<p align="justify">A four-year-old boy and his father went to the beach. There was a dead seagull lying on the sand. The boy asked his father, &quot;Dad, what happened to the birdie?&quot;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">A group of miscreants set fire to a farmers haystack, and the fire then spread to his barn. <br />While he surveyed the loss, his wife called their insurance company <br />and asked them to send a check for Rs. 3,000,000 the amount of insurance on the barn.<br />&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t give you the money,&rdquo; a company official explained. <br />&ldquo;We replace the barn and all the equipment in it.&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;In that case,&rdquo; replied the wife, &ldquo;cancel the policy I have on my husband.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span id="more-201"></span><br />
<hr />The manager of a large office asked a new employee to come into his office.
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">&quot;What is your name?&quot; was the first thing the manager asked.<br />&quot;John,&quot; the new guy replied. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">The manager scowled. &quot;Look, I don&#39;t know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don&#39;t call anyone by their first name! It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority,&quot; he said. &quot;I refer to my employees by their last name only &#8211; Smith, Jones, Baker &#8211; that&#39;s all. Now that we have got that straight, what is your last name?&quot; </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">The new guy sighed and said, &quot;Darling. My name is John Darling.&quot; </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">The manager said, &quot;Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you&#8230;&quot; </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">A group of miscreants set fire to a farmers haystack, and the fire then spread to his barn. <br />While he surveyed the loss, his wife called their insurance company <br />and asked them to send a check for Rs. 3,000,000 the amount of insurance on the barn.<br />&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t give you the money,&rdquo; a company official explained. <br />&ldquo;We replace the barn and all the equipment in it.&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;In that case,&rdquo; replied the wife, &ldquo;cancel the policy I have on my husband.&rdquo; </p>
<hr />
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">&nbsp;A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged,<br />balding man standing at the counter methodically placing &quot;Love&quot; <br />stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. <br />He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.<br />Curiouos, the guy goes up to the balding man<br />and asks him what he is doing. The man says,<br />&quot;I&#39;m sending out 1,000 I Love You cards signed, &#39;Guess who?&#39;&quot;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">&quot;But why?&quot; asks the guy.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">He said,&quot; I&#39;m a divorce Lawyer.&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">Little, five year old, Johnny was in the bath tub, and his mom was washing his hair. </p>
<p align="justify">She said to him, &quot;Wow, your hair is growing so fast! You need a haircut again.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">Little Johnny replied, &quot;Maybe you should stop watering it so much.&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p align="justify">For weeks a six-year-old boy kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house.</p>
<p align="justify">One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the coming of the baby.</p>
<p align="justify">Curious, the teacher finally&nbsp;asked the boy one day, &quot;Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">The boy burst into tears and confessed, &quot;I think Mommy ate it!&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p align="justify">Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who managed to get the most out of his computer. This had been going on for days and God, was tired of hearing all of the bickering. <br />God said, &quot;Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job.&quot; <br />So, down sat Jesus and Satan at the keyboards and typed away.&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">They did spreadsheets, they wrote reports, they sent faxes, they sent out e-mail, they sent out e-mail with attachments, they downloaded, they did some genealogy reports, they made cards, they did every known job. But just a few minutes before the two hours were up, a lightening flashed across the sky. The thunder rolled and the rains came down hard. And of course the electricity went off. <br />Satan was upset. He fumed and fussed and he ranted and raved, all to no avail. The electricity stayed off. But after a bit, the rains stopped and the electricity came back on. Satan screamed, &quot;I lost it all when the power went off. What am I going to do? What happened to Jesus&#39; work?&quot; <br />Jesus just sat and smiled. </p>
<p align="justify">Again Satan asked about the work that Jesus had done. As Jesus turned his computer back on the screen glowed and when he pushed &quot;print it&quot;, it was all there. </p>
<p align="justify">&quot;How did he do it?&quot; Satan asked.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;God smiled and said, &quot;Jesus Saves.&quot; </p>

<p>Sign seen on the In the window of a general store:
<p><em>&quot;Why go elsewhere to be cheated, when you can come here?&quot;</em></p>
<p><span id="more-200"></span>
<p>Everybody on Earth dies and goes to heaven. God comes and says, &quot;I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men that dominated their women on earth and the other line for the men that were dominated by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St Peter.&quot; Said and done, the next time God looked, the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated by their women was 100 miles long, and in the line of men that dominated their women, there was only one man. </p>
<p>God got mad and said, &quot;You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?&quot; And the man replied, &quot;I don&#39;t know, my wife told me to stand here&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p>When&nbsp;a father&nbsp;came home he was astonished to see Ron sitting on the dog, writing something. </p>
<p>&quot; What on earth are you doing&nbsp;on the dog&nbsp;?&quot; he asked.</p>
<p>&quot;Well, the teacher told us to write an essay on our favourite animal. That&#39;s why I&#39;m here and that&#39;s why&nbsp;Nancy is sitting&nbsp;on the goldfish bowl !&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p>A preacher was completing his sermon. With great expression he said, &quot;If I had all the beer in the world, I&#39;d take it and throw it into the river.&quot;</p>
<p>With even greater emphasis he said, &quot;And if I had all the wine in the world, I&#39;d take it and throw it into the river.&quot;And then finally, he said, &quot;And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I&#39;d take it and throw it into the river too.&quot;Saying that he sat down.</p>
<p>Then, the song leader stood up very cautiously and announced with a smile, &quot;For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: &quot;Shall We Gather at the River.&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p>&quot;Isn&#39;t the principal a fool!&quot; said&nbsp;the boy to the girl. </p>
<p>&quot;Well, do you know who I am?&quot; asked the girl, a bit angry. </p>
<p>&quot;No.&quot; replied the boy. </p>
<p>&quot;I&#39;m the principal&#39;s daughter.&quot; said the girl. </p>
<p>&quot;And do you know who I am?&quot; asked the boy. </p>
<p>&quot;No,&quot; she replied. </p>
<p>&quot;Thank goodness!&quot; said the boy, with a sigh of relief. </p>
<hr />
<p>A man went to his lawyer and said, &quot;I want to make a will but I don&#39;t know&nbsp; how to go about it.&quot;</p>
<p>The lawyer said in a confident tone, &quot;No problem, leave it all to me.&quot;</p>
<p>The man looked&nbsp;a little&nbsp;upset and said, &quot;Well, I knew you were going to take the biggest slice, but I would like to leave some thing&nbsp;for my children too!&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p>A vacuum sales man appeared at the door of an old lady&#39;s cottage and, without allowing the woman to speak, rushed into the living room and threw a large bag of dirt all over her clean carpet. Then, he said,&quot;If this new vacuum doesn&#39;t pick up every bit of dirt then I&#39;ll eat all of it.&quot;</p>
<p>The woman, who, by this time, was losing her patience, said, &quot;Sir, if I had enough money to buy that thing, I would have paid my electricity bill before they cut it off. Now, what would you prefer, a spoon or a knife and fork?&quot; </p>
<hr />
<p>The&nbsp;boss&nbsp;had a speech at an important convention, so he asked one of his employees to write him a wiity, 15 minute speech. When the&nbsp;boss returned from the the event, he&nbsp; called his employee and started yelling at him.</p>
<p>&quot;What was the meaning of writing me an hour-long speech?&quot; he asked. &quot;Half the audience walked out before I finished.&quot;</p>
<p>The employee said, &quot;I wrote you a 20-minute speech &#8230;I also gave you the two extra copies that&nbsp;you asked for.&quot; </p>
