When you put the two words "The" and "IRS" together
it spells "THEIRS"?

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a
great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "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!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes.
When I came out there was a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket.
So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?"
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.
So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi.
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for worn tires!
So I called him a piece of horse manure.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then
he started writing a third ticket!
This went on for about 20 minutes... the more I abused him, the more tickets he
wrote.
I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner.
I try to have a little fun each day. It's important.

Christmas Break was over and the teacher was asking the class about their
vacations. She turned to little Johnny and asked what he did over the break.
"We visited my grandmother in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania," he replied.
"That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word," the teacher said. "Can you tell
the class how you spell that?"
Little Johnny thought about it and said, "You know, come to think of it, we went
to Ohio."

Three Legged Chicken
A man was driving along a rural road one day when he saw a three legged chicken.
He was amused enough to drive along side it for a while, as he was driving he
noticed the chicken was running 30 mph. Pretty fast chicken, he thought, I
wonder just how fast it can run. So he sped up and the chicken did too! They
were now moving along the road at 45 mph! The man in the car sped up again, to
his surprise the chicken was still running ahead of him at 60 mph!!!
Suddenly the chicken turned off the road and ran down a long driveway leading to
a farmhouse. The man followed the chicken to the house and saw a man in the yard
and dozens of three legged chickens. The man in the car called out to the farmer
"How did you get all these three legged chickens?"
The farmer replied, "I breed 'em. Ya see it's me, my wife and my son living here
and we all like to eat the chicken leg. Since a chicken only has two legs, I
started breeding this three legged variety so we could all eat our favorite
piece."
"That's amazing!" said the driver "How do they taste?"
"Don't rightly know, can't catch 'em."

A blond was shopping at K-Mart and came across a shiny silver thermos.
She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and brought it over to the
clerk to ask what it was.
The clerk said, "why, that's a thermos... it keeps hot things hot and cold
things cold."
"Wow," said the blond, "that's amazing... I'm going to buy it!
So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss, who is
also blond, saw it on her desk.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Why, that's a thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she
replied.
"Wow, that's amazing," said the boss, "what do you have in it?"
"Two Popsicle's and some coffee.

It was visitor's day at the Lunatic Asylum. All the inmates were standing in the
courtyard and singing "Ave Maria." They were singing it beautifully.
Oddly, each of them was holding a red apple in one hand and tapping it
rhythmically with a pencil.
A visitor listened in wonder to the performance, and then approached the
conductor. "I'm a retired Choir Director," he said.
"This is one of the best choirs I have ever heard."
"Yes, I am very proud of them," said the conductor.
"You should take them on tour," said the visitor. "What are they called?"
"Surely that's obvious," replied the conductor.
"They're the Moron Tapanapple Choir."

Cowboy Poetry
Jake, the rancher, went one day to fix a distant fence.
The wind was cold and gusty and the clouds rolled gray and dense.
As he pounded the last staples in and gathered tools to go,
The temperature had fallen, the wind and snow began to blow.
When he finally reached his pickup, he felt a heavy heart.
From the sound of that ignition, he knew it wouldn't start.
So Jake did what most of us would do if we had been there.
He humbly bowed his balding head and sent aloft a prayer.
As he turned the key for the last time, he softly cursed his luck.
They found him three days later, frozen stiff in that old truck.
Now Jake had been around in life and done his share of roaming.
But when he saw Heaven, he was shocked --it looked just like Wyoming!
Of all the saints in Heaven, his favorite was St. Peter.
(Now, this line ain't needed but it helps with rhyme and meter)
So they set and talked a minute or two, or maybe it was three.
Nobody was keeping' score --in Heaven time is free.
"I've always heard," Jake said to Pete, "that God will answer prayer,
But one time I asked for help, well, he just plain wasn't there."
"Does God answer prayers of some, and ignore the prayers of others?
That don't seem exactly square --I know all men are brothers."
"Or does he randomly reply, without good rhyme or reason?
Maybe, it's the time of day, the weather or the season."
"Now I ain't trying to act smart, it's just the way I feel.
And I was wondering', could you tell me --what the heck's the deal?!"
Peter listened very patiently and when Jake was done,
There were smiles of recognition, and he said, "So, you're the one!!"
"That day your truck, it wouldn't start, and you sent your prayer a flying,
You gave us all a real bad time, with hundreds of us trying."
"A thousand angels rushed, to check the status of your file,
But you know, Jake, we hadn't heard from you in quite a long while."
"And though all prayers are answered, and God ain't got no quota,
He didn't recognize your voice, and started a truck in Minnesota."
BETTER KEEP IN TOUCH!

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring
and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." (Jim, 10)

The great debate: Is it better to be single or married?
"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to

If you don't like dumb blonde jokes, skip this section But it is worth a chuckle
or two!
AUTO REPAIR
A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died.
After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's
the story?"
He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor."
She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"
SPEEDING TICKET
A police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her very nicely if he
could see her license.
She replies in a huff, "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just
yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect me to show it to
you!"
EXPOSURE
A blonde is walking down the street with her blouse open and her right breast
hanging out. A policeman approaches her and says, "Ma'am, are you aware that I
could cite you for indecent exposure?"
She says, "Why, officer?"
"Because your breast is hanging out." he says.
She looks down and says, "OH MY GOD, I left the baby on the bus again!"
RIVER WALK
There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde
on the opposite bank.
"Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"
The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, "You
ARE on the other side."
KNITTING
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at
the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting!
Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights and siren, the trooper
cranked down his window, turned on his bullhorn and yelled, "PULL OVER!"
"NO!" the blonde yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF!"
BLONDE ON THE SUN
A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day.
The Russian said, 'We were the first in space!"
The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"
The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!"
The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads.
"You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian.
To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"
IN A VACUUM
A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the
dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a
vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"
She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
FINAL EXAM
The blonde reports for her university final examination that consists of yes/no
type questions. She takes her seat in the examination hall, stares at the
question paper for five minutes and then, in a fit of inspiration, takes out her
purse, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin, marking the answer sheet:
Yes, for Heads, and No, for Tails.
Within half an hour she is all done, whereas the rest of the class is still
sweating it out. During the last few minutes she is seen desperately throwing
the coin, muttering and sweating. The moderator, alarmed, approaches her and
asks what is going on. "I finished the exam in half an hour, but now I'm
rechecking my answers."
FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES!
There was a blonde woman who was having financial troubles so she decided to
kidnap a child and demand a ransom. She went to a local park, grabbed a little
boy, took him behind a tree and wrote this note: I have kidnapped your child.
Leave $10,000 in a plain brown bag behind the big oak tree in the park tomorrow
at 7 A.M. Signed, The Blonde
She pinned the note inside the little boy's jacket and told him to go straight
home. The next morning, she returned to the park to find the $10,000 in a brown
bag behind the big oak tree, just as she had instructed. Inside the bag was the
following note....
Here is your money. I cannot believe that one blonde would do this to another!

Clyde, a farmer in Alabama, decided his injuries from the accident were serious
enough to take the trucking company (responsible for the accident) to court. In
court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde. "Didn't you
say at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?'" asked the lawyer.> >
Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my
favorite mule Bessie into the..."> >
"I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted, "just answer the
question. Did you or did you not say 'I'm fine' at the scene of the accident?"
Clyde said, "Well, yes, but I had just got Bessie into the trailer and was
driving down the road..."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact
that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the
scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying
to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the
question."
By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the
lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie."
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well, like I was saying, I had just
loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the
highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my
truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into
the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear
old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her
groans.
"About that time a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie
moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out
his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at
me and said, "And, how are you feeling?'"

Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.

up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly
approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

of her vehicle.

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going
a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from
between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car
passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot where the brick had
been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid who was standing there
and pushed him against a parked car shouting, "What do you think you are doing,
boy?"
Building up a head of steam he went on, "That's a new car and that brick you
threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
"Please sir, please. I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do," pleaded the
youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."
Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car.
"It's my brother, sir," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back
into his wheelchair, sir? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his
throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his
handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was
going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you, sir," the grateful child said to him. The man
then watched the little boy push his brother toward their home.
It was a long walk back to his Jaguar...a long slow walk.
He never did repair the side door.
He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has
to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
God whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes when you don't
have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.
It's your choice: Listen to the whisper...or wait for the brick.

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to
"Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every
day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is
difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with
you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will
love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or
unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will
love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I
cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a
reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and
you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his
tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord,
Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks
and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that
they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with
them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them
of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of
adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they
were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility. And they were greatly improved. And God was
pleased. And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a damn one way or the other.

HOW'D YOU BREAK YOUR ARM???
Even if you aren't a skier, you'll be able to appreciate the humor of the slopes
as written by a New Orleans paper:
A friend just got back from a holiday skiing trip to Utah with the kind of story
that warms the cockles of anybody's heart. Conditions were perfect...12 below,
no feeling in the toes, basic numbness all over...the "Tell me when we're having
fun" kind of day. One of the women in the group complained to her husband that
she was in dire need of a rest room. He told her not to worry, that he was sure
there was relief waiting at the top of the lift in the form of a powder room for
female skiers in distress. He was wrong, of course, and the pain did not go
away. If you've ever had nature hit its panic button in you, then you know that
a temperature of 12 below
doesn't help matters. With time running out, the woman weighed her options. Her
husband, picking up on the intensity of the pain, suggested that since she was
wearing an all-white ski outfit, she should go off in the woods and no one would
even notice. He assured her, "The white will provide more than adequate
camouflage."
So she headed for the tree line, began lowering her ski pants and proceeded to
do her thing. If you've ever parked on the side of a slope, then you know there
is a right way and wrong way to set your skis so you don't move. Yup, you got
it!!! She had them positioned the wrong way. Steep slopes are not
forgiving...even during the most embarrassing moments. Without warning, the
woman found herself skiing backward, out-of-control, racing through the
trees...somehow missing all of them and onto another slope. Her derriere and the
reverse side were still bare, her pants down around her knees, and she was
picking up speed all the while. She continued backwards, totally out-of-control,
creating an unusual vista for the other skiers. The woman skied back under the
lift and finally collided violently with a pylon. The bad news was that she
broke her arm and was unable to pull up her ski pants. At long last her husband
arrived, putting an end to her nudie show, then summoned the ski patrol.
They transported her to a hospital. While in the emergency room, a man with an
obviously broken leg was put in the bed next to hers. "So, how'd you break your
leg?" she asked, making small talk.
"It was the darndest thing you ever saw," he said. "I was riding up this ski
lift and suddenly, I couldn't believe my eyes! There was this crazy woman skiing
backward,
out-of-control, down the mountain, with her bare bottom hanging out of her
pants. I leaned over to get a better look and fell out of the lift."
"So, how'd you break your arm?"
