Political Humor
Saddam Hussein and George Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first round of talks in a new peace process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the side of Saddam's chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Confused, Bush carries on talking as Saddam laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again Bush carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush in the privates, he's finally had enough, knowing that he can't do much without them functioning well.
"I'm going back home!" he tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two weeks!"
A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Bush's chair and prepares himself for the Yank's revenge. They begin talking and George presses the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. Bush snickers. A few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. When the third button is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, and again nothing happens.
"Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad !"
Bush says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured an English major. Taking the major to their headquarters, the French general began to question him. The French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"
In his bland English way, the major informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic. And that is why from that day to now all French Army officers wear brown pants.

A man, called to testify at the IRS, asked his accountant for advice on what to wear. "Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper."
Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. "Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie."
Confused, the man went to his rabbi, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution of the dilemma. "Let me tell you a story," replied the rabbi. "A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. 'Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.' But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. 'Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your navel.' "
The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?"
"No matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed."

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you a glass of milk.
FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk.
PURE COMMUNISM: You share two cows with your neighbors. You and your neighbors bicker about who has the most "ability" and who has the most "need." Meanwhile, no one works, no one gets any milk, and the cows drop dead of starvation.
RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk. You steal back as much milk as you can and sell it on the black market.
CAMBODIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.
SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government fines you for keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment.
DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.
REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate."
BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheep brains and they go mad. The government doesn't do anything.
BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays for you not to milk them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.
BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: Your cows are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you should need.
CAPITALISM: You start with no cows. The bank will not lend you money to buy cows because you don't have any cows to put up as collateral.
HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the fung shuei is bad.
ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them.
FEMINISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf.
TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of "ownership" is a symbol of the phallo-centric, war-mongering, intolerant past) two differently-aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender.
PURE ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to take the cows and kill you.
SURREALISM (ma préférée) : You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

Before PC invaded academia, there was an old professor who started every class with a vulgar joke. After one particularly nasty example, the women in the class decided to walk out the next time he started. The professor got wind of this plot, so the next morning he walked in and said,
"Good morning, class. Did you hear about the shortage of whores in Paris ?"
With that, all the women stood up and ran to the door.

After you've been in college for a year or so, you're supposed to choose a major, which is the subject you intend to memorize and forget the most things about. Here is a very important piece of advice: be sure to choose a major that does not involve Known Facts and Right Answers. This means you must not major in mathematics, physics, biology, or chemistry, or geology because these subjects involve actual facts. If, for example, you major in mathematics, you're going to wander into class one day and the professor will say: "Define the cosine integer of the quadrant of a rhomboid binary axis, and extrapolate your result to five significant vertices." If you don't come up with exactly the answer, the professor has in mind, you fail. So you should major in subjects like English, philosophy, psychology, and sociology -- subjects in which nobody really understands what anybody else is talking about, and which involve virtually no actual facts. I attended classes in all these subjects, so I'll give you a quick overview of each:
ENGLISH:
This involves writing papers about long books you have read little snippets
of just before class. Here is a tip on how to get good grades on your
English papers: Never say anything about a book that anybody with any common
sense would say. For example, suppose you are studying Moby Dick. Anybody
with any common sense would say that Moby Dick is a big white whale, since
the characters in the book refer to it as a big white whale roughly eleven
thousand times. So in your paper, you say Moby Dick is actually the
Republic of Ireland . Your professor, who is sick to death of reading papers
and never liked Moby Dick anyway, will think you are enormously creative.
If you can
regularly come up with lunatic interpretations of simple stories, you should
major in English.
PHILOSOPHY: Basically, this involves sitting in a room and deciding there
is no such thing as reality and then going to lunch. You should major
in philosophy if you plan to take a lot of drugs.
PSYCHOLOGY: This involves talking about rats and dreams. Psychologists are obsessed with rats and dreams. I once spent an entire semester training a rat to punch little buttons in a certain sequence, then training my roommate to do the same thing. The rat learned much faster. My roommate is now a doctor. If you like rats or dreams, and above all if you dream about rats, you should major in psychology.
SOCIOLOGY:
For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one
subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read
gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement.
This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend
most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding
code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same
thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they
fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the
sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that
a casual relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory behavior
forms." If you can keep this up for fifty or sixty pages, you will get
a large government grant.

Bill and Hilary were driving through Little Rock , and when they passed by a gas station a big man yelled "Hi Hilary" and Hilary said "Hi Bubba".
Bill asked "Who was that?"
And
Hilary told him it was a old high school boyfriend. Bill said, "See if
you married him you would be married to a gas station attendant, but you married
me now you're the first lady."
And Hilary told him, "If I married him he would be the president, and
you would be the gas station attendant."

President Clinton, Mrs. Clinton and Al Gore were in an airplane that, unfortunately
crashed. Now they're up in Heaven, and God is sitting on the great, white
throne. God addresses Al first.
"Al, what do you believe in?"
Al replies, "Well, I believe that the combustion engine is evil and that we need to save the world from CFCs and that if anymore freon is used, the whole earth will become a greenhouse and we'll all die."
God
thinks for a second and says, "Okay, I can live with that. Come
and sit at my left."
God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"
Bill replies, "Well, I believe in power to the people. I think people should be able to make their own choices about things and that no one should ever be able to tell someone else what to do. I also believe in feeling people's pain."
God
thinks for a second and says, "Okay, that sounds good. Come and
sit at my right."
God then addresses Hillary. "Hillary, what do you believe in?"
Hillary replies, "I believe you're in my chair!"

The
European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be
the official language of the EU, rather than German , which was the other
possibility. As part of the negotiations Her Majesty's Government conceded
that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five
year phase-in plan that would be known as Euro-English.
In the first year the soft 'c' will be replaced. Sertainly, this will make
the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be dropped in favour of
the 'k'. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have one letter
less. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when troublesome
'ph' will be replased by the 'f'.This will make words like 'fotograf' 20%
shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgraseful and it should go away. By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' and 'w' with 'v'. During ze fifz yer unesesary 'o' can be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After ziz fifz yer ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor truble or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu onderstand ech ozer.
Ze drem vil finaly kum tru!

A man and his wife entered a dentist's
office. The wife said, "I want a tooth pulled. I don't want gas or Novocain
because I'm in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible."
"You're a brave woman," said the dentist. "Now, show me which tooth it is."
The wife turns to her husband and says, "Open your mouth and show the dentist
which tooth it is, dear."

A 7 year old boy and his 4 year old brother are upstairs in the bedroom. The
7 year old is explaining that it is high time that the two of them begin swearing.
When his little brother responds enthusiastically, the 7 year old says, "When
we go down stairs for breakfast this morning, I'll say "Hell" and
you say "ass." The 4 year old happily agrees. As the two boys are
seating themselves at the breakfast table, their Mother walks in and asks
her older son what he would like to eat for breakfast.
The 7 year old replies, "Ah hell, mom, I'll just have some Cheerios."
"WHACK!" the surprised mother reacts quickly. The boy runs upstairs,
bawling and rubbing his behind. With a sterner voice, the mother then asks
the younger son, "And what would YOU like for breakfast?"
"I don't know," the 4
year old blubbers, "but you can bet your ass it sure as hell not gonna
be Cheerios."

After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the cathedral of Notre Dame sent word
through the streets of Paris that a new bellringer was needed. The bishop
decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the
belfry to begin the screening process. After observing several applicants
demonstrate their skills, he decided to call it a day when a lone, armless
man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bellringers
job.
The bishop was incredulous."You have no arms!"
"No matter," said the man, "Observe!" He then began striking the bells with
his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened
in astonishment, convinced that he had finally found a suitable replacement
for Quasimodo. Suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man
tripped, and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the
street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street,
a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful
music they had heard only moments before. As they silently parted to
let the bishop through, one of them asked,
"Bishop, who was this man?''
"I don't know his name," the bishop sadly replied, "but his face rings a bell."

In the winter of 1926, Thelma Goldstein
from Chicago treated herself to her first real vacation in Florida.
Being unfamiliar with the area, she wandered into a restricted hotel in North
Miami.
"Excuse me," she said to the manager. "My name is Mrs. Goldstein, and
I'd like a small room for two weeks."
"I'm awfully sorry," he replied, "but all of our rooms are occupied."
Just as he said that, a man came down and checked out.
"What luck," said Mrs. Goldstein. "Now there's a room."
"Not so fast, Madam. I'm sorry, but this hotel is restricted. No Jews
allowed."
"Jewish???? Who's Jewish???? I happen to be Catholic!!!!"
"I find that hard to believe. Let me ask you, who was the Son of God????"
"Jesus, Son of Mary."
"Where was he born????"
"In a stable."
"And why was he born in a stable????"
"Because an anti-semitic S.O.B. like you wouldn't let a Jew rent a room in
his hotel!!!!"

Tech Support: "What seems to be the problem?"
Customer: "The balance is backwards. The left channel is coming out of the
right speaker and the right channel is coming out the left. It's defective."

While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat.
He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned
craft. Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist
shouted, "Are there any gators around here?"
"Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!"
Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.
About halfway there he asked the guy, "How'd you get rid of the gators?"
"We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said.
"Really?" said the tourist.
The beachcomber added, "The sharks got 'em."

The last time the Pope came to the U.S. he wanted to drive the big limousine
waiting for him at the airport. He got the permission of the chauffeur
and away they went. It wasn't too long before he was pulled over by
a traffic cop. As the officer walked up from behind the car, he was startled
to see the Pope driving the limo he had just pulled over. He asked
the Pope to wait a moment while he radioed to his supervisor. The
conversation went like this:
Traffic Officer: "I've just pulled over a V.I.P. and I'm not sure
how to handle the situation."
Supervisor: "Well, who is it? Is it the mayor?"
Traffic Officer: "No. He's more important than that?"
Supervisor: "The governor?"
Traffic Officer: "No. More important than him?"
Supervisor: "A foreign dignitary?"
Traffic Officer: "Well kind of, but whoever he is, he's got the Pope
driving for him!"

A drunk decides to go ice-fishing, so he gathers his gear and goes walking
around until he finds a big patch of ice. He heads into the center of the
ice and begins to saw a hole. All of sudden, a loud booming
voice comes out of the sky. "You will find no fish under the ice."
The drunk looks around, but sees no one. He starts sawing again. Once more, the voice speaks, "As I said before, there are no fish under the ice."
The drunk looks all around, high and low, but can't see a single soul. He picks up the saw and tries one more time to finish. Before he can even start cutting, the huge voice interrupts. "I have warned you three times now. There are no fish!"
The drunk now flustered and somewhat
scared, so he asks the voice, "How do you know there are no fish?
Are you God trying to warn me?"
"No", the voice replied. "I am the manager of this hockey rink."
