                 lost this technology. 
              
             25. All single women have a cat.

                     Anderson and the Braves fan are sitting as if
                     nothing happened, and the Yankee fan is holding his
                     slapped face. The Yankee fan is thinking, "That
                     Braves fan must have kissed Pamela and she swung at
                     him and missed, slapping me instead." Pamela is
                     thinking, "That Yankee fan must have tried to kiss
                     me, accidentally kissed the Braves fan, and got
                     slapped for it." And the Braves fan is thinking,
                     "This is great. The next time the train goes through
                     a tunnel, I'll make another kissing noise and slap
                     that Yankees fan again."

GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
A fellow was ordered by his Dr. to lose 75 lbs. due to very serious health risks. As he wondered how in the heck he would ever do it, he ran across an ad in the newspaper for a GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. "Guaranteed like hell" he thought to himself, but desperate, he calls them up and subscribes to the 3 day/10 pound weight loss program. The next day there is a knock at his door and when he answers, there stands before him a voluptious, athletic, beautiful, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me!" Without a second thought he takes off after her. A few miles later, huffing and puffing, he finally catches her and has his way with her. After they are through and she leaves, he thinks to himself "I like the way this company does business." The same girl shows up for the next 2 days and the same thing happens. On the fourth day he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised. So, he calls the company and orders from them their 5 day/20 lb. program. As expected, the next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life, wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me, you can have me". He's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and it takes him a while to catch her, but when he does, it is worth every cramp and wheeze. She is by far the best he's ever had. For the next 4 days, the same routine happens and much to his delight, on the 5th day he weighs himself and found he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised!!!! He decides to go for broke & calls the company to order the 7 day/50 lb. program!! "Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone, "This is our most rigorous program." "Absolutely," he replies "I haven't felt this good in years" The next day there's a knock at the door and when he opens it he finds Richard Simmons standing there wearing nothing but pink racing spikes and a sign around his neck that reads "If I catch you, I can have you"

They land and the pilot turns to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't." Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

with you completely. This must be a sign from God!" The woman continued, "And
look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of

You don't have a hangover?" Bud says, "No, that jet fuel is great stuff - no hangover, nothing. We ought to do this more often." "Yeah, well there's just one thing..." "What's that?" "Have you farted yet?" "No..." "Well, DON'T, 'cause I'm in PHOENIX!!!"


THE HOWL The Wolf Man comes home one day from a long day at the office. "How was work, dear?" his wife asks. "Listen! I don't want to talk about work!" he shouts. "Okay. Would you like to sit down and eat a nice home cooked meal?" she asks nicely. "Listen!" he shouts again. "I'm not hungry! I don't wanna eat! Alright! Is that alright with you? Can I come home from work and just do my own thing without you forcing food down my throat? huh?" At this moment, the wolf man started growling, and throwing things around the apartment in a mad rage. Looking out the window, his wife sees a full moon and says to herself, "Well, I guess it's that time of the month."


A Hell of a Choice
A guy dies and goes to hell. The devil meets him at the gate and says, "Alright, you have died and come to hell. You will spend eternity here, but you get to choose how to spend it. You may choose one of these three doorways. Once you choose a door, you may not change it. So let's get started." The devil opens Door One. The guy looks in and sees a couple of people standing on their heads on a Concrete floor. The guy says, "No way, let's move on." The devil opens Door Two. The guy sees a few more people standing on their heads on a Wood floor. The guy says, "No way, let's move on." The devil opens Door Three. The guy sees a bunch of people standing knee-deep in cow manure drinking coffee. The guy says, "Great, this is the one I will chose." The devil says, "OK, wait right here, I will get you some coffee." The guy settles in with his coffee thinking that this isn't so bad. What's the big deal? After about 10 minutes a voice comes over the loud speaker saying, "Coffee break's over. Back on your heads!"


Playing Around

One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual speck on the horizon. "It's certainly not a ship," he thinks to himself. And as the speck gets closer and closer, he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft. Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and asks, "How long has it been since you've had a cigarette?" "Ten years!" he says. She reaches over and unzips a waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pocket of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, and takes a long drag, and says, "Man, oh man!" "Is that ever good!" She then asks him, "How long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?" Trembling, he replies, "Ten Years!" She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her right sleeve, pulls out a flask, and gives it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swing, and says, "Wow, that's absolutely fantastic!" Then she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit, looks at him seductively and asks, "And how long has it been since you've played around?" The guy, with tears in his eyes, replies, "Oh sweet Lord God!" "Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there!"


The Amazing Amish

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this, Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a rather heavy, not too attractive, older lady walked up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady walked between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a beautiful, young woman stepped out. The father, said quietly to his son, "Go get your Mother".


BAD NEWS
                                  
                      Three guys were working on a high rise building project: Steve,
                      Bill and Charlie.  Steve falls off and is killed instantly.

                      As the ambulance takes the body away, Charlie says, "Someone
                      should go and tell his wife."

                      Bill says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll
                      do it."

                      2 hours later, he comes back carrying a 6-pack.  Charlie says,
                      "Where did you get that, Bill?"

                      "Steve's wife gave it to me."

                      "That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead
                      and she gave you the beer."

                      Bill says,"Well not exactly.  When she answered the door, I
                      said to her, 'You must be Steve's widow.'"

                      She said, "'No, I'm not a widow."

                      And I said, "Wanna bet me a six-pack?"
