Kirk was walking down the street when he was accosted by a
particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for
a couple of dollars for dinner. Kirk took out his wallet, extracted
ten dollars and asked,“If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead?”
“No, I had to stop drinking years ago,” the homeless man replied.
“Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food?” Kirk asked.
“No, I don’t gamble,” the homeless man said. “I need everything I can
get just to stay alive.”“Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of
food?” Kirk asked.“Are you NUTS!” replied the homeless man. “I haven’t played golf in
20 years!”“Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district
instead of food?” Kirk asked.“What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?” exclaimed the
homeless man.“Well,” said Kirk, “I’m not going to give you the money. Instead, I’m
going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife Kim.”
The homeless man was astounded.“Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m
dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.”Kirk replied, “That’s okay. I just want her to see what a man looks

A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, I
clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.”The driver says, “Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60,
perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.”Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: “Now don’t be silly,
dear, you know that this car doesn’t have cruise control.”As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his
wife and growls, “Can’t you please keep your mouth shut for once?”The wife smiles demurely and says, “You should be thankful your radar
detector went off when it did.”As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar
detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched
teeth, “Darn
it, woman, can’t you keep your mouth shut?”The officer frowns and says, “And I notice that you’re not wearing
your seat belt, sir. That’s an automatic $75 fine.”The driver says, “Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took
it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of
my back pocket.”The wife says, “Now, dear, you know very well that you didn’t have
your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you’re
driving.”And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver
turns to his wife and barks, “WHY DON’T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??”The officer looks over at the woman and asks, “Does your husband
always talk to you this way, Ma’am?”I love this part….
“Only when he’s been drinking.”

******************************
FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and
you need to shut up.FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only
five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the
game before helping around the house.NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means “something,” and you
should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with ‘Nothing’ usually
end in “Fine”GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do it.LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often
misunderstood by men. A “Loud Sigh” means she thinks you are an idiot
and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing
with you over “Nothing”THAT’S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to
a man. “That’s Okay” means that she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you’re
welcome.May 16, 2005 at 7:28 pm #11498hpdog259962ParticipantHi Folks
Subject: The New Wal-Mart Greeter
A Wal-Mart manager was given the task of hiring an individual to
fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found
four
people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and
ask them
only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would
get the job.The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the
interviewer asked, “What is the fastest thing you know of?”Acknowledging the first man on his right, the man replied, “A
THOUGHT”. It just
pops into your head. There’s no warning that it’s on the way; it’s
just there. A
thought is the fastest thing I know of.”“That’s very good!” replied the interviewer. “And now you sir?”
he asked the second man. “Hmm…. let me see. A blink! It comes and
goes and you
don’t know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know
of.”“Excellent!” said the interviewer. “The blink of an eye, that’s a
very popular
cliché for speed.”He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.
“Well, out at my dad’s ranch, you step out of the house and on the
wall there’s
a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture
the light
in the barn comes on in less than an instant. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT
is the
fastest thing I can think of.”The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought
he had
found his man. “It’s hard to beat the speed of light” he said.Turning to Bubba, the fourth and final man, the interviewer
posed the same question.
Old Bubba replied, “After hearing the three previous answers, It’s
obvious to me
that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.”“WHAT!?” said the interviewer, stunned by the response.
“Oh I can explain.” said Old Bubba. “You see the other day I wasn’t
feeling so
good and I ran for the bathroom. But, before I couldTHINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already pooped in my pants.
Old Bubba is the new “Greeter” at the Hanford Wal-Mart.

One Sunday morning, the priest noticed that little Anthony was
staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were
mounted on either side of it. The ten year old boy had been staring
at the plaque for some time, so the priest walked up, stood beside
the boy, and said quietly, “Good morning Anthony.”“Good morning father,” replied the young man, still focused on the
plaque.“Father Murphy, what is this?” Anthony asked.
“Well, son, its a memorial to all the young men and women who died in
the service.”Soberly they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Anthony’s voice was barely audible when he asked, “Which
service, the 9:00 or the 10:30?”May 16, 2005 at 7:30 pm #11501hpdog259962ParticipantHi Folks
A guy runs a stop sign and gets caught by a policeman.
Cop says, “License and registration, please.”
Guy says, “What for?”
Cop says, “You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”
Guy says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”
Cop says, “You still didn’t come to a complete stop, License and
registration, please.”
Guy says, “What’s the difference?”
Cop says, “The difference is, you have to come to a complete
stop, License and registration, PLEASE!”
Guy says, “If you can show me the difference between slow down
and stop, I ll give you my license and registration.”
Cop says, “Exit your vehicle, sir.”
At this point, the cop takes out his nightstick and starts
beating the ever-loving tar out of the guy and says,

May 17, 2005 at 1:47 am #11503montefrazerParticipantProper use of the English language:
1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They’re old hat).
6. Always avoid annoying alliteration.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
9. Also, too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. No sentence fragments. No comma splices, run-ons are bad too.
11. Contractions aren’t helpful and shouldn’t be used.
12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.
14. Generally, one should never generalize.
15. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
16. Don’t use no double negatives.
17. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be ignored.
21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.
22. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
23. Kill all exclamation points!!!!
24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
25. Understatement is probably not the best way to propose earth shattering ideas.
26. Use the apostrophe in it’s proper place and omit it when its not needed.
27. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”
28. If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.
29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.
30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
31. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
32. Who needs rhetorical questions?
33. Exaggeration is a million times worse than understatement.
34. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.May 17, 2005 at 7:02 pm #11504AnonymousInactive/
