Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who stayed up all night wondering if there is a dog.
Morris and Becky were delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a
baby
came to an end. The adoption center called and told them they had a
wonderful Russian baby boy and the couple took him without hesitation.
On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local
college
so they each could enroll in night courses.
After they filled out the form, the registration clerk inquired, "What
ever
possessed you to study Russian?"
The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Russian baby and in a year
or so
he'll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him."
Only in America...can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance....
Only in America...are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink...
Only in America...do people order double cheese burgers, a large fry and a diet coke...
Only in America...do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters...
Only in America...do we leave cars, worth thousands of dollars, in the driveway and put useless things and junk in boxes in a locked garage...
Only in America...do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place...
Only in America...do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight...
If a male transexual had an opperation and became a female, and a female transexual had an operation and became a male, and these two people met and married, would that be a heterosexual relationship or a homosexual relationship?
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies - two
in the front seat and three in the back - wide eyed and white as
ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I
don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to
be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer replies, "You weren't
speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed
limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit
exactly... Twenty-Two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit
proudly.
The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle
explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the
speed limit.
A bit embarassed, the woman grinned and thanked the
officer for pointing out her error.
"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time." the officer asks.
"Oh, they'll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."
THE DANGER OF EATING BREAD by Pseth
A recent newspaper headline read, "Smell of baked bread may be health
hazard." The article went on to describe the dangers of the smell of
baking
bread. The main danger, apparently, is that the organic components of
this
aroma may break down ozone.
I was horrified. When are we going to do something about bread-induced
global warming? Sure, we attack tobacco companies, but when is the
government going to go after Big Bread? Well, I've done a little
research,
and what I've discovered should make anyone think twice....
THE FINDINGS
1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming
households
score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the
home, the
average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates
were
unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as
typhoid, yellow fever and influenza ravaged whole nations.
4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24
hours of
eating bread.
5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been
proven that as
little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The
average
person eats more bread than that in one month!
7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of
bread and
given only water to eat begged for bread after only two days.
PROPOSED RESTRICTIONS
Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between
significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical
babbling. In light of these frightening statistics, we
propose the following bread restrictions
1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. No advertising of bread within 1000 feet of a school.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the
societal ills
we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may
appeal to
children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. A $40.2 billion fine on the three biggest bread manufacturers.
