Three Little Piggies

Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter comes and takes their drink order.

"I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggie. "I would like a Coke," said the second little piggie. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggie.

The drinks are brought out and the waiter takes their orders for dinner.

"I want a nice big steak," said the first piggie. "I would like the salad plate," said the second piggie. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggie.

The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.

"I want a banana split," said the first piggie. "I want a root beer float," said the second piggie. "I want water, lots and lots of water," exclaimed the third little piggie.

"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter, "but why have you only ordered water?"

TWO WISHES

A man walks into a bar with an ostrich behind him. The bartender asks for his order, and the man says, "I'll have a beer," and turns to the ostrich. "What's yours?"
"I'll have a beer, too," says the ostrich.
The bartender pours the beer and says, "That will be $3.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again, and both order a beer. Once again, the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes a routine until, late one evening, the two enter again and the bartender asks, "The usual?"
"Well, it's close to last call, so I'll have a large scotch," says the man.
"Same for me," says the ostrich.
"That will be $7.20," says the bartender.
Once again, the man pulls exact change out of his pocket and places it on the bar. The bartender can't hold back his curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?"
"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic, and I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I just put my hand in my pocket, and the right amount of money will always be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the bartender. "Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!
"That's right! Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man.
The bartender asks, "One other thing, sir; what's with the ostrich?" The man replies, "My second wish was for a chick with long legs."

In the beginning, there was the heaven and the earth, and a cold breeze was blowing. This sucked, and the Lord was displeased. And the Lord said, "Let there be kitties!" and there were kitties, with whiskers and fuzzy ears, who twitched their tailtips adorably, and it was good. But the Lord wanted more. So the Lord said, "Let there be spots!" and most of the kitties received this blessing, and showed off their precious, adorably cuddly spotty coats. And this was good. So the kitties romped and played, but they became hungry, and asked the Lord for help. So the Lord said, "Let there be all manner of creatures from which the kitties can feed from!" And there were, and a wide variety of animals came into existence, whom the kitties hunted and played with. And this was good. But the kitties were still bored. So The Lord said,"Let there be humans!" and the humans came into existence, to forever be slaves of the adorable whiskered kitties and entertain them until the end of time. And it was good. The Lord was happy, so he retired and went to Rio.

Subject: Fw: Joke

A man with a winking problem applied for a position as a sales representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best schools; your recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is unparalleled. Normally, we'd hire you without a second thought. However, a sales representative has a highly visible position, and we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential customers. I'm sorry....we can't hire you."
Wait," he said. "If I take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"
"Really? Great! Show me!"
So the applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and begins pulling out all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed condoms, flavored condoms. Finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.
"Well," said the interviewer, "that's all well and good, but this is a respectable company, and we will NOT have our employees womanizing all over the country!"
"Womanizing? What do you mean? I'm a happily married man!"
"Well then, how do you explain all these condoms?"
"Oh," he sighed. "Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?"

Cecilia: "heres a silly question. What causes a bounce and what the difference between a hard bounce and a soft one?"

Sharon: "Gravity?"

The equation in physics for the energy of the bounce will be:
E = mgh
E = energy
m = mass (that lie from the bathroom scale corrected for gravity)
g = gravitational constant (the force behind the boom in silicon implants)
h = height you fall (how tall the bar stool is)

The force is the distribution of energy over surface area. Bottom line, energy divided by the area of your bottom (assuming you're not going head first / bottoms up)
Physics is a cruel science.

Dianne : "Yes, ok, but what happens with the gravitational constant if a bra is involved? underwire, of course. :)"

If the bra and contents mass is small, the value for "E" approaches zero and may be canceled out. This is kinetic energy not sexual. Though it may be true ones with a low mass project a low sexual energy and are often canceled on dates, the link is spurious.
If the bra and it's mass are very very large, they may be able to generate three forces:
kinetic = mgh (silicon weight x gravitational constant x height in heels) magnetic = from underwire metal mass (yah, right!). Note, rubbing the wire may generate a current (or an assault charge)
gravitational = if a mass approaches significant proportions (ie planetoid, supertanker) it has it's own gravitational pull (see Parton, Dolly)

(note from Gok: Good grief, I've even seen those new rings- there's more than one! - around. How silly. I can't ever remember (nor do any of the kids I asked) needing to get the rings in the 'right' order. The fun (and what would later be retaught under the disguise of 'advanced physics') was stacking them alternately (with a space between each ring), seeing how many would balance ABOVE the post, letting the baby chew on the smallest ring because he was teething, taking the rings into the bathtub or the yard for water play - combination target and throwing toy - filling them up with water (bubbles come up - if you hid them under your butt in the tub it was a really good way to creep out anyone in there with you, until they caught on), then squirting the water out the little hole and attempting, usually without any success, to hit your annoying little sister with the spray, etc, etc, etc.

Yeesh, how narrow-minded can a person get if they assume that the only thing you can do with stacking rings is to stack them? DUHHHHHH! - end note.)

Latest news reports advise that a cell of 4 terrorists has been operating in Newfoundland, Canada. Police advised earlier today that 3 of the 4 have been detained. The Newfoundland Provincial Police Commissioner stated that the terrorists Bin Sleepin, Bin Drinkin and Bin Fightin have been arrested on immigration issues. The Police advise further that they can find no one fitting the description of the fourth cell member, Bin Workin, in the province. Police are confident that anyone who looks like Bin Workin will be very easy to spot in the community or in Newfoundland West, i.e. Fort McMurray.

Viagra Diary 

Day 1. 
Just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with not much to celebrate. When 
it came time to reenact our wedding night, he locked himself in the bathroom 
and cried. 

Day 2. 
Today, he says he has a big secret to tell me. He's impotent, he says, and he 
wants me to be the first to know. Why doesn't he tell me something I 
don't know! I mean, gimme a break. He's been dysfunctional for so long that he 
even walks with a limp. 

Day 3. 
This marriage is in trouble. A woman has needs. Yesterday, I saw a picture of 
the Washington Monument and burst into tears. 

Day 4. 
A miracle has happened! There's a new drug on the market that will fix 
his 'problem.' It's called Viagra. I told him that if he takes Viagra, things 
will be just like they were on our wedding night. He said, 'this time, I'd 
rather not have your mother join us.' I think this will work. I 
replaced his Prozac with the Viagra, hoping to lift something other than his 
mood. 

Day 7. 
This Viagra thing has gone to his head. No pun intended! Yesterday, at Burger 
King, the manager asked me if I'd like a Whopper. He thought they were talking 
about him. Get over yourself! Not everything is about you! But, have to 
admit ... 

Day 8. 
I think he took too many over the weekend. Yesterday, instead of mowing the 
lawn, he was using his new friend as a weed whacker. Sore as hell.... 

Day 10. 
Okay, I admit it. I'm hiding. I mean, a girl can only take so much. And to make 
matters worse, he's washing the Viagra down with hard cider! The photo of Janet 
Reno isn't working. What am I gonna do? I feel tacky all over.... 

Day 11. 
The side effects are starting to get to him. Everything is turning blue. The 
other day, we were watching Kenneth Branaugh in Hamlet and he thought it 
was "The Smurfs Do Denmark." Even my armpits hurt. He's a nasty man. 

Day 12. 
OK, I'm basically being drilled to death. It's like going out with a Black and 
Decker power tool. I woke up this morning hot-glued to the bed. 

Day 13. 
I wish he was gay. I bought 400 Liza Minelli albums and I keep 
saying 'fabulous,' and still he keeps coming after me! Even yawning has become 
dangerous ... 

Day 14. 
Now I know how Saddam Hussein's wife feels. Every time I shut my eyes, there's 
a sneak attack! It's like going to bed with a scud missile. Let's hope he's not 
like ex-President Bush and takes 100 days to pull out. I can hardly walk and if 
he tries that "Oops, sorry" butt-thing again, I'm gonna kill him. 

Day 15. 
I've done everything to turn him off. Nothing is working. I even started 
dressing like a nun. Now he tells me "Sister Wendy" makes "Father Woody" want 
to bark like a dog. Help me. 

Day 16. 
I think I will have to kill him. Then he'll go out the way he wants to...stiff. 
With my luck, I won't be able to close the casket. I'm starting to adhere to 
everything I sit on. The cats are afraid of him and the neighbors no longer 
come over. Last night I told him to screw himself ... he did. 

Day 17 
He must die.

My husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and  said, (This will make you 

happy tonight.) He was right. When he went out  of the bedroom, I squirted 

it all over the door knobs.. he couldn't get back in. 

It's just too hot to wear clothes today, Jack said as he stepped out of the 

shower, (Honey, what do you think the neighbours would think if I  mowed the 

lawn like this?) (Probably that I married you for your money,) she replied. 

Q : What must a woman do when a man is  running around in circles? 
A : Reload and carry on shooting. 

Q : Why can't men get Mad Cow Disease? 
A : Because it only attacks the brain. 

Q : What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man? 
A : A rumour 

A couple are lying in bed. The man says (I am going to make you the 
happiest woman in the world) 
The woman says : (I will surely miss you) 

Q : What takes longer to make - a snowman or snow woman? 
A : The snowman, because you have to hollow out the head first 

And that seems to be it . . . Gee, do I need more suppliers or something? I think so.
