The
Pythagorean Theorem Revisited
|
|
|
There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin. One slept on an elk skin and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant and the first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides. |

I was in the waiting room
of my doctor's office the other day when the doctor started
yelling, "Typhoid! Tetanus! Measles!"
I went up to the nurse and asked her what was going on. She told me that the doctor liked to call the shots. |

The Art
Thief
|
|
|
Recently a guy in
Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the
Louvre. However, after planning the crime, breaking in, evading
security, getting out and escaping with the goods, he was captured
only two blocks away when his Econoline van ran out of gas. When
asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an
obvious error, he replied:
"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh" |

Mahatma
Ghandi
|
|
|
Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere he went, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He also was quite a spiritual person. Even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he almost always had very bad breath. Therefore: He came to be known as a Super callused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis. |

Frog
Loan
|
|
|
A frog goes into a bank and
approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that the
teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like
to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks
at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The
frog says $50,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that
his name is Kermitt Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank
manager. Patti explains that $50,000 is a substantial amount of
money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the
loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure, I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. It is bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermitt Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $50,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?" So the bank manager looks back at her and says, "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone." |

A movie producer was going to do a docudrama about famous composers. So he set up a meeting with Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Arnold Scwarzenegger. He offered them a chance to select which famous musicians they'd portray. "I've always admired Mozart," Stallone said. "I'd love to play him." "Chopin has always been my favourite," said Van Damme. "That's the part for me." The producer turned to Schwarzenegger. "And you, Arnold? Who do you want to be?" There was a long silence, then he replied, "I'll be Bach." |

For Whom the Bell
Tolls...
|
|
|
Quasimodo, the infamous Hunchback of Notre Dame, was getting tired of the same old routine. Day in and day out he'd ring the bell, and, frankly it was getting old. He decided he needed a little time off. So he put a sign outside the cathedral: "Bell ringer wanted, two weeks temporary work, good pay". He didn't really expect much of a response. The next morning there's a knock on the door and he goes down to get it. He opens the door to find a hunchback who looks remarkably like himself. He invites him in and they chat for a while. Quasimodo is excited, this looks like a perfect match. He decides to begin the training. The go up to the bell tower, and Quasimodo explains that the rope rotted off the bell some time ago, so he just uses his head. He shows him how it's done, smacking his head firmly into the bell. A beautiful, loud, clear ring is heard. The apprentice gives it a try, but all that results is a dead thud. "Try with less face, more forehead", Quasi encourages. The apprentice tries again, just a little better. "How about getting a little run at it", Quasi instructs. The apprentice takes a short run and gets just a bit of a ring mixed in with the thud. "Take a good run at it". The apprentice backs up, runs hard at the bell, but misses, runs out the window and falls crashing to the pavement several stories down, dead as a stone. Soon a crowd gathers below. Milling around, they're wondering who it is. "Hmm", says one, "face doesn't ring a bell". "Oh sure", says another, "that's a dead ringer for Quasimodo". |

NEWS RELEASE- PILLSBURY
DOUGHBOY DEAD!
|
|
|
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman
Pop N Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71.
Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent
years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs.
Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker,
and the Hostess Twinkies. The graveside was piled with flours as
longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh
as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded." Fresh rose
quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many
turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much
of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old
man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his
second wife, They have two children and one in the oven. The
funeral was held at 3:50 for 20 minutes.

Once upon a time when
potatoes ruled the earth, there was a King Potato and a Queen
Potato. The King and the Queen had a daughter who was of marrying
age, and naturally they expected her to marry another potato of
royal status.
But, the beautiful young spud told her parents that she would not marry a royal potato. Instead, she told the King and Queen, she was in love with Tom Brokaw and would marry him. "Tom Brokaw!" thundered the king. "How can you even consider marrying Tom Brokaw! He's nothing but a COMMENTATOR!" |

Colorisation

Paints were a very
precious quantity in the good old days, and British merchants could
make a young fortune supplying paints to the colonies.
One company sent a clipper ship full of red paint across the ocean. It had the very bad luck to collide with another ship full of blue paint. As a result of this disaster, both crews were... marooned. |

Catastrophic!
|
|

Two good Montana buddies
were out hunting for a cougar that was killing their sheep. They
staked out an area of the woods near their fields, and waited.
After a while, sure enough, there came the cougar.
They patiently waited until it was close, and then they both jumped up and shot it at the same time. They couldn't tell whose bullet had taken the cougar's life! They decided to share the credit, and also to have the cougar stuffed, and they decided to take turns keeping the stuffed cougar. However, this arrangement turned out not to be to their liking. Instead, they decided to divide the stuffed cougar in two, and flip a coin for who would get which end. Bill lost, and ended up with a mounted trophy of the cougar's rear. So even though shooting the cougar was a great sporting victory, Bill thought, ... it was nothing but a catastrophe. |

The
King's Birthday Gift
|
|
|
Many years ago, in the south pacific, there was a small island kingdom that was ruled by a kind and benevolent King. Each year, on the King's birthday, the residents of the island gave the King a new throne as token of their love and respect for him. And each year, the King would put last years gift up in the attic of his small house. After many years of ruling the island, the weight of the large number of birthday presents stored up in the attic became too heavy and caused the house to fall down. The moral of the story is: People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones. |

Watch out for the
Compasses!

|

Back in the 1800's the
Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other
products and, since they already made the cases for pocket watches,
decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling west. It
turned out that although their watches were of finest quality,
their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or
Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of
the expression; "He who has a Tates is lost!"

Luke and Obi-Wan are in a
Chinese restaurant having a meal. Skillfully using his chopsticks,
Obi-Wan deftly dishes himself a large portion of noodles into his
bowl, then tops it off with some chicken and cashew nuts. All this
is done with consummate ease you'd expect from a Jedi Master.
Anyway, poor old Luke is having a nightmare, using his chopsticks
in both hands, dropping his food all over the table and eventually
himself. Obi-Wan looks at Luke disapprovingly and says, "Use the
forks, Luke."

A man was eating in a fancy
restaurant, and there was a gorgeous woman eating at the next
table. He had been checking her out all night, but lacked the nerve
to go talk to her. Suddenly she sneezed and her glass eye went
flying out of her socket towards the man. With his quick reflexes,
he caught it in mid-air. "Oh my goodness, I'm sooooo sorry," the
woman said as she popped her eye back into its socket. "Let me buy
you dinner to make it up to you." They enjoyed a wonderful dinner
together and afterwards the woman offered to drive him home. "But
it's over an hour out of your way," the man said. "Are you sure you
don't mind?" "Not at all," she said. "I'm looking forward to it."
The guy was amazed and flattered. "You know, you're the perfect
woman," he said. "Are you this nice to every guy you meet?" "No,"
she replied, "you just happened to catch my eye!"

shaft and crushed Joe to death. A local composer wrote an
orchestral piece in memory of Joe: It was called "Symphony in A

The bad and ugly king had a
beautiful girl as a captive. Though her beauty shone like a
thousand moons, the dress she was forced to wear was very
unbecoming. She waited day and night, looking out with hope out the
dungeon window, searching for the knight who would free her.
However, every knight was scared away by her dress, which, as I've
said before, was very ugly. She was crying in hopelessness when the
evil king jeered, .... "See, I told you no knight would rescue a
damsel in this dress!!!"

bookstore and, being intrigued by a display in the window, he went
in and came home with a dog-eared book of poems. The point of my
story is: Never send a literary dog to the grocery store because .
