V ![]() The Almost Daily Funnies "Friends are God's way of taking care of
us."
These are clean jokes. However, They are PG - Not intended for younger readers - PG Welcome New
Subscribers MONDAY AUGUST 15,2005
Himself at the gates of Hell. "Welcome to Hell" announced the Devil greeting him warmly. "Glad you could join us. As your last taste of free will, you are allowed to choose which of three possible places that you
will spend the rest of eternity."
There were three doors behind the Devil. He opened the first door. Flames shot into the room and the lawyer could see
thousands of people amidst the fire.
"No" said the lawyer. "Not this one." The Devil opened the second door. The lawyer could see thousands of People slaving away at a large rock-pile. They
were all being whipped as
they Hammered the large boulders into smaller
boulders.
"No" again said the lawyer. Finally, the devil opened up that last door which showed thousands of People in a incredibly large lake with vomit up
to their chins.
All of them Were chanting 'Don't make waves, don't
make waves...'
"That's awful!!" commented the lawyer in repulsion. "You think that's bad?" asked the devil, "You should see it when the angels spend the weekend here with their
jet-skis!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nina stood before the judge in divorce
court.
Judge: "You have asked for a divorce decree from this court. Madam, is that right?" Nina: "Yep." Judge: "And the grounds for your request is that your husband is too careless about his appearance. Is that
correct?"
Nina: "That's right, Judge. He ain't appeared at home in close to five years now." ~~~~ The restaurant where I took my two sons for a meal was crowded with fans watching a sporting event on television. The harried waitress took our order, but more than half an hour passed with no sign of her return. I was trying to keep my kids from becoming restless when suddenly shouts of victory came from the bar. "Hey," commented my 11-year-old, "it sounds as if someone just got his food." ~~~~ It's about two elderly excited women who were sitting together in the front pew of church with a fiery preacher. When this preacher condemned the sin of lust, these two ladies cried out at the top of their lungs.....AMEN... BROTHER! When the preacher condemned the sin of stealing, they yelled again....PREACH IT REVEREND! And when the preacher condemned the sin of lying.... they jumped to their feet and screamed, RIGHT ON BROTHER.... TELL IT LIKE IT IS..... AMEN! But when the preacher condemned the sin of gossip, the two got quiet and one turned to the other and said, "He's done quit preaching and now he's meddlin'." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? ~~~~~~~ College is fine dining. Mac & Cheese A rich creamy delicacy, a flavorful melange of creamy cheddar and al dente pasta served warm in your own home. A silky delight that delights the palate! OR Ramen Noodles An enchanting and nourishing soup steaming with savory broth, heaping with noodles, and your choice of chicken, shrimp, pork, beef, vegetables and more. Perfect for those craving a touch of salt. You are probably wondering why I started with an ad today. It was a good start for a story about back in my college days and Macaroni and Cheese. Back in the early seventies there was no microwaves in the dorm rooms in fact the only cooking items were popcorn poppers and coffee pots. A hot plate would have been handy but it would have popped circuit breakers for half of the floor. My grandmother had given me a popcorn popper for Christmas and it got plenty of use, that is till I tried to use it for Macaroni and Cheese. Michigan State made you buy one meal a week when you lived in the dorms which was supposed to broaden your horizons by making you go to a restaurant but what it usually meant was Domino's sold about a million 3.00 large cheese pizzas on that day or you opted for a 69 cent Barn Buster from Red Barn which was bigger than a Whopper. I had this plan to cook a meal in my popper. I had a box of macaroni and cheese, some mystery meat in a can, and milk and butter smuggled out of the cafeteria. After 3 hours I had boiling water and added the rest of my ingredients all at the same time along with some cheese also from the cafeteria and waited for it to come to a boil. After another couple of hours and occasional stirring it looked cooked but it was actually a cheesy sort of soup so I let it boil longer and ordered a pizza. A couple of hours later it had thickened so I tasted it . It was pretty nasty so I put the cover on it pulled the plug and decided to wait till the next day to dump it and clean it . Time passed days passed and I finally went over to take the popper down to the communal bathrooms and clean it. There was some things growing in there that may have been able to save the world, and a few things that were probably worse than anthrax. The popper went down the incinerator chute instead of being cleaned and I could here little fungus voices screaming as it fell four floors. I went out when I got my next work-study check and bought an exact replacement popcorn popper and have never mentioned the original's fate until today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean. The lawyer said, "I'm here because my house burned down, and everything I owned was destroyed by the fire. The insurance company paid for everything." "That's quite a coincidence," said the engineer. "I'm here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a flood, and my insurance company also paid for everything." The lawyer looked puzzled asked, "How do you start a flood? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Today after President Bush signed the new transportation bill he said that it's not enough to just pass the law - he said now "people have to show up to do the work." Then he went back to his five-week vacation." --Jay Leno ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was our second anniversary, and my husband sent me flowers at the office. He told the florist to write "Happy Anniversary, Year Number 2" on the card. I was thrilled with the flowers, but not so pleased about the card. It read "Happy Anniversary. You're Number 2." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A man was brought up on charges of bigamy. The judged looked at the docket and said, "Good God, man! You're charged with marrying six women. How could you do such a thing?" "Hey, judge, gimme a break," the man replied. "I was only trying to find a good one." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As his destroyer entered fabled Pearl Harbor, my friend stood alongside a cocky lieutenant and the Hawaiian harbor pilot. " So tell me," said the lieutenant to the pilot, "is your state pronounced 'Huh-WI-ee' or 'Huh-VI-ee'?" "We say 'Huh-VI-ee,' " the pilot answered. "And that sign over there," asked the lieutenant, pointing ashore, "is it pronounced 'Pi-Pee-Lie-Nee'?" "You could say it that way," said the pilot. "But we Huh-VI-ans usually just say 'Pipeline.' " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine says I'm four" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A grandfather bought a hobby horse by mail order as a birthday present for his granddaughter. The toy arrived in 189 pieces. The instructions said that it could be put together in an hour. However it took the old man two days to assemble the toy. Finally, when it was all put together, he wrote a check, cut it into 189 pieces and mailed it off to the company. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A new missionary recruit went to Venezuela for the first time. He was struggling with the language and didn't understand a whole lot of what was going on. Intending to visit one of the local churches, he got lost, but eventually got back on track and found the place. Having arrived late, the church was already packed. The only pew left was the one on the front row. So as not to make a fool of himself, he decided to pick someone out of the crowd to imitate. He chose to follow the man sitting next to him on the front pew. As they sang, the man clapped his hands, so the missionary recruit clapped too. When the man stood up to pray, the missionary recruit stood up too. When the man sat down, he sat down. When the man held the cup and bread for the Lord's Supper, he held the cup and bread. During the preaching, the recruit didn't understand a thing. He just sat there and tried to look just like that man in the front pew. Then he perceived that the preacher was giving announcements. People clapped, so he looked to see if the man was clapping. He was, and so the recruit clapped too. Then the preacher said some words that he didn't understand and he saw the man next to him stand up. So he stood up too. Suddenly a hush fell over the entire congregation. A few people gasped. He looked around and saw that nobody else was standing. So he sat down. After the service ended, the preacher stood at the door shaking the hands of those who were leaving. When the missionary recruit stretched out his hand to greet the preacher, the preacher said, in English: "I take it you don't speak Spanish." The missionary recruit replied: "No I don't. It's that obvious?" "Well yes," said the preacher, "I announced that the Acosta family had a newborn baby boy and would the proud father please stand up." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liz goes to her first show at an art gallery and is looking at the paintings. One is a huge canvas that has black with yellow blobs of paint splattered all over it. The next painting is a murky gray color that has drips of purple paint streaked across it. Liz walks over to the artist and says, "I don't understand your paintings." "I paint what I feel inside me," explains the artist. "You should try some Tums and eat properly!" &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

For Melvyn Reed, however, it wasn't so nice when he awoke from triple bypass surgery to find all three of his wives surrounding him. While he was under the knife, his years as a double bigamist came to an end when the three women showed up at the same time to the hospital and realized something wasn't right. They held a meeting in the parking lot and discovered they were all married to the same man! Reed later turned himself into police, admitting he was married to all three women, and confessed to bigamy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - I'm sure you've all been annoyed at some time or another by a noisy car alarm ringing in a park- ing lot or driveway. David Owen Rye, 48, became so perturbed at an offending alarm that he fired at least three bullets into a Toyota Camry. He stopped the alarm, all right, but also attracted the attention of police, who hauled him away in handcuffs. The owner of the Camry, a sailor who had just returned home from an eight-month cruise, was visiting a friend when he heard gunshots on Tuesday night. Police ordered Rye out of his apartment by an officer with a bull- horn. He was arrested and booked for investigation of reck- less discharge of a firearm and felony vandalism. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MERTHYR TYDFIL, Wales - A 21-year-old Welsh postman who was on steroids and forgot to deliver 12,604 letters and packages has been jailed for three months. Authorities caught Royal Mail worker Gavin Jenkins of Tylorstown, Wales, when he began using a cell phone he said fell into his mail bag from an open package, the South Wales Echo reported Wednesday. Defense attorney Jenny Treharne said Jenkins started taking steroids around his 20th birthday and either forgot or thought it was too late to deliver the mail. "It was the effect of these drugs that he started not to care about his job and started to store the post in his car," Treharne said. "He was relieved when his dishonesty came to an end." The case cost him his job and his girlfriend, she said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **** WEIRD HAPPENINS **** ARLINGTON, Va. - A U.S. company has reportedly announced plans to conduct tourist trips around the moon for a fare of $100 million. Space Adventures of Arlington, Va., told the New York Times it expects to announce an agreement this week with Russian space officials to send two passengers on a voyage lasting 10 to 21 days, depending on its itinerary and whether the trip includes the International Space Station. A roundtrip ticket will cost $100 million and the space tourists will travel with a Russian pilot. They will circle the moon and then return to Earth. The company said it expects moon trips to begin as early as 2008. Well, beam me up. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& You can join The Funnies IT'S FREE To subscribe, Click on link below 25438-subscribe@zinester.com &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
