A man at the bar is staring at his drink. After half an hour, a troublemaker takes the drink and downs it. As the man starts crying, the troublemaker says: ‘Look, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink.’ ‘It’s not that,’ the man says. ‘This has been the worst day of my life. First, I overslept, was late for work and my boss fired me. Then I went to leave, only to find my car had been stolen. When I reported it, the police said they couldn’t do anything. And as I stepped out of the cab when I got home, I realized I’d left my wallet and credit card in the car. Then I found my wife in bed with the milkman, so I came to this pub. And while I was thinking about ending my life, you went and drank my poison.’

Two alligators are sitting on the edge of a swamp. The small one turns to the big one and says, "I don't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids...I just don't get it."

"Well," says the big alligator, "what have you been eating?"

"Lawyers, same as you," replies the small alligator.

"Hmmmm. Well, where do you catch'em?"

"Down at that law firm on the edge of the swamp."

"Same here. Hmmmm. How do you catch'em?"

"Well, I crawl under a BMW and wait for someone to unlock the door.
Then I jump out, bite'em, shake the crap out of 'em, and eat 'em!"

"Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. See, by the time you get done shakin' the crap out of a lawyer, there's nothing left but lips and a briefcase."

The first divorce directly related to the September 11th  terrorist attacks has been filed in NY court.

It appears a guy with an office on the 103rd floor of the World  Trade Center left home for work on Sept. 11.  When he got to Manhattan, he decided to spend the morning at his  girlfriend's apartment in the Village. When he got to her place, he turned off the phones, TV and radio and spent the entire morning in bed with her. At about 11:00 am, while still at her place, he turned his cell  phone back on to retrieve his messages. A second later it rang.

His wife was on the phone crying and screaming at him, "I've been trying to call you for over two hours!! I've been worried sick about you! Are you OK?!?"

He answered calmly that he was fine.

The wife then asked, "Where are you?"
 
The guy said, "Where do you think I am? I'm in my office!"

One day while on the farm Uncle Jon was helping one of his cows give birth, when he noticed his four-year-old Great Nephew, James, standing at the fence, wide-eyed and soaking in the whole event.  Uncle Jon thought to himself: "Great, now I'm gonna have to explain the 'birds and bees' to him. Well, no need to jump the gun. I'll just wait and see if he has any questions, and I'll just answer them as best I can."  After Uncle Jon finished helping the cow with her birthing, he walked over to James and asked him: "Do you have any questions about what you seen here tonight?"  "Just one," the little boy whispered, eyes still wide with wonder. "How fast was that calf going when he hit the cow?"

Geography of woman and man

GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN
Between 18 and 20 a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile deltas.

Between 21 and 30 a woman is like America, well developed and open to trade especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35 she is like India, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40 a woman is like France. Gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50 she is like Yugoslavia, lost the war - haunted by past mistakes. Massive reconstruction is now necessary.

Between 51 and 60, she is like Russia, very wide and borders are unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Mongolia, with a glorious and all conquering past but alas, no future.

After 70, they become like Afghanistan. Most everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

A burglar broke into a house one night.  He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."  He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze.  When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked, the light on and began searching for more valuables.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot.
"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."  
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"
"Moses," replied the bird.
"Moses?", the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"
"The kind of people that would name their rottweiler Jesus."

Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter

Rule One:  If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day.Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

A father is at the drug store with his 5-year old boy. The boy spots the condom display and asks "Daddy, what are these for?". The father responds "Those are condoms. You use them when having sex."  Probing further, the boy asks "Why does this package have only one and this one has three?". The father answers "The single condom is for when you're in
high school. You're busy with school during the week and can only go on dates on Saturdays. The three-pack is for when you're in college. You have to do homework Monday to Thursday and only have time for sex on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday."

The boy looks at the display more and asks, "Why does this package have
six?". The father replies, "That's for when you're engaged. You can do it
Monday to Saturday, but you have to visit with family on Sunday."

The boy spots the 12-pack and asks "Why does this package have twelve?". The
father answers, "That's for after you're married. One for January, one for
Feburary, ..."

One day a kid went to school and the teacher said, "For homework, I want you to find out the difference between 'hypothetically' and 'realistically'." So the kid went home and asked his father, "Dad, what's the difference between 'hypothetically' and 'realistically'?"  His father replied, "Ask you mother if she'd sleep with somebody for a million dollars." The son sort of looked at his father funny, but proceeded. "Mom, would you sleep with someone for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Well son, that is quite a large sum of money...I think I would." So the son went back to his father and said, "Dad, Mom said she would do it, but I just don't understand, what does that have to do with 'hypothetically' and 'realistically'?"  The father replied, "Don't worry about it, just ask your sister if she'd do it."  Reluctantly the boy went and asked his sister. She replied, "A million dollars? OF COURSE I WOULD DO IT!!" 
So, the boy returned once again to his father saying, "Dad, she said she'd do it too, but I still don't understand, what does that have to do with 'hypothetically' and 'realistically'?" 

The father replied, "Well son, HYPOTHETICALLY we're sitting on two million dollars, REALISTICALLY, we're living with a couple of whores!"

Results of nagging:

A man left work on Friday afternoon, but instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend playing softball with the boys and spending his entire
paycheck.

When he finally appeared at home Sunday night, he was confronted by his very angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade of his actions.  Finally, his wife stopped the nagging and said to him, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for
two or three days?"

To which he replied, "That would be fine with me."

Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.  Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Thursday June 13 2002

Do you get lots of annoying calls from telemarketers?  Don't get upset about
it!  Use the opportunity to get a laugh!

1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy
and you could sure use some money.

2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "Why do you want to
know?"  Alternately, you can tell them, "I'm so glad you asked, because no
one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my arthritis is
acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died ..." When they try to get
to the sell, just keep talking about your problems.

3. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their
name.  Then ask them to spell the company name.  Then ask them where it is
located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their
company for as long as necessary.

4. If they are selling a lawn service to make your grass grow better, tell
them it grows to fast now and green is not your favorite color anyway.

5. Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you?  Oh my!  Judy, how have you
been?"  Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she
tries to figure out where she could know you from.

6. Say "No" over and over.  Be sure to vary the sound of each one and keep a
rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak.  This is most fun if you
can do it until they hang up.

7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends
Plan, reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends
... would you be my friend?"

8. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood?  Can you get
out GOAT blood? How about HUMAN blood?

9. After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you.  When
they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your
credit-card number to a complete stranger.

10. Tell the telemarketer that you work for the same company; they often
can't sell to employees.

11. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a telemarketer, set the
receiver down, shout or scream "Oh No!" and then hang up.

12. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.

13. Tell them it is dinnertime, BUT ask if they would please hold.  Put them
on your speakerphone while you continue to eat at your leisure.  Smack your
food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.

14. Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they
could bring you some food.

15. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.

16. Ask the telemarketer if they use the product they are trying to sell. 
If they do, ask for a complete report.  If they don't, ask them why not
since it is such a great product.

17. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke.  "Come
on Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon how's your momma?"

18. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up ...
louder ... louder ... louder ...

19. Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD
down.

20. Tell them that you are busy and ask for their phone number so you can
call them back. If they say that they don't give out their phone number or
they don't take calls, then ask for the caller's personal phone number at
home. If then they say that they don't like being called at home, quickly
say "Bingo!" and hang up.

21. Feign total stupidity. "you want to sell me a magazine prescription? how
does that work? will my insurance cover such? don't I need a doctor or HMO
to approve it?", when they clarify it is a magazine SUBSCRIPTION, answer "oh
I see, can you deliver at home? but will the mailman be able to see what
magazine's I subscribe to? he'll think I am a pervert! what about the
neighbors! they'll hide their daughters!", continue until he hangs up.

For those who don't have a Mon-key, this is hilarious.
For those who have a Mon-key, this is not funny.
For those who think Dan's Mon-key visiting would be fun, this is a warning.
The following came from an Dan Winfield himself.

THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY Mon-key...(HONEST AND NO KIDDING) ):

1. A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A Mon-key's holler voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Mon-key wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.  When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double pane) won't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke . . . lots of it.

9. A Mon-key can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year-old man says they can only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.

10. Certain LEGOS will pass through the digestive tract of a Mon-key.

11. Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can't, walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show that they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Louisville, Kentucky has a 5 minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. The spin cycle on the washing machine will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

And finally, the mind of a 6-year-old is wonderful.


First Grade.....true story.

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?"

The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?"

One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said 'Holy Shit! A talking pig!'

The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

A forty-ish woman was at home happily jumping on her bed and squealing with delight. Her husband watches her for a while and asks "Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look?

 What's the matter with you?"

 The woman continues to bounce on the bed and says "I don't care. I just came from the doctor and he says I have the breasts of an 18-year-old."

   The husband said, "What did he say about your 41-year-old ass?"

   "Your name never came up," she replied.

    **********    Boing!    ****************

710 Cap

The other day I was in the local auto part store.  A lady comes in and asks for a seven ten cap.  We all looked at each other and said,  "What's a seven ten cap?"
She said, "You know, it's right on the engine.  Mine got lost some how and I need a new one."  "What kind of a car is it on," they asked?  Now I'm thinking maybe an old Datsun Seven Ten, but no, she said it's a Buick.  "OK lady, how big is it?"  She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.  "What does it do?" we asked.  She said, "I don't know, but its always been there."  One of us gave her a note pad and asked her if she could draw a picture of it.  So she makes a circle about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and in the center she writes 710.  The guys behind the counter are looking at it upside down as she writes it...and they fall down behind the counter they are laughing so hard.
One guy said, " I think you want an oil cap."  She said, "Seven Ten cap, oil cap, I don't care what you call it, I just need one, and I don't see what is so damn funny about it."
Yes, she was a blonde.

Note: If you read "710" upside down....  it spells OIL!!!!

Heart/Exercise/Weight Wisdom

Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it, don’t piss them away on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat?  Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop.

Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?

A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables.  As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables.

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain - Good.

Q: If I stop smoking, will I live longer?

A: Nope. Smoking is a sign of individual expression and peace of mind.  If you stop, you’ll probably stress yourself to death in record time.

Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?

A: You’re not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil, in fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: What’s the secret to healthy eating?

A: Thicker gravy.

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger.  You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had.

Friday June 7 2002

A couple of women were playing golf one sunny Saturday morning. The first of the twosome teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing on the next hole.  Indeed, the ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in evident agony.
The woman rushed down to the man and immediately began to apologize. She explained that she was a physical therapist: "Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know that I could relieve your pain if you'd just allow me!" she said.
"Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I'll be alright. I'll be fine in a few minutes," he replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch. But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him.
She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants, and put her hands inside. After a short massage she asked him, "How does that feel?"
To which he replied: "It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell!"

Moods of Women and Men

MOODS OF A WOMAN
 
An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
A woman is a bundle of contradiction.
She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,
But will tackle her boyfriend alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose.
She'll win you in rage, enchant you in silk,
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk.
At times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad,
She'll hate you like poison and love you like mad.

 
MOODS OF A MAN
 
Horny
Sleepy
Hungry

litter?

If aspirins are always "Take Two," why not increase the size of ONE?

Airline Announcements
All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more entertaining.  Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: 

On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant staff, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to
enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
On landing the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all your  belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's  something we'd like to have."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!" 
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a  flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX  to YYY. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face.  If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children ... or other adults acting like children."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry.  Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City, the flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump, and I know what y'all are thinking. You're thinking that I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault ... it was the asphalt!"
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
On an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day:, during the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight
Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask  you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An airline pilot had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required him to stand at the door, smile, and give the passengers a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline," while the they exited. In light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment.  Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?"  "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?"
The little old lady said, "Did we land or were we shot down?"
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of US Airways."
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - OH, MY GOD!"  Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier; but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in Coach was heard to reply, "That's nothing. He should see the back of mine!"

Three lengths of string decide to go out for a drink.  Two are nice clean, freshly cut pieces and one is old, tatty, ravelled up, and dirty.

They settle into the pub and the first clean piece goes to the bar.  Three pints of larger please, he asks the barman.  While pulling the drinks the barman asks, excuse me, but are you a piece of string?

Why, yes, I am that.

Well I’ll be blowed, thirty years behind this bar and I’ve never served a piece of string before!

Ah well, strange world, says the string, and goes back to his seat with his drinks.

An hour later the second clean piece of string goes to the bar, Three pints of larger please barman, says he.

The barman starts to pull the drinks.  Excuse me, but are you a piece of string?  he asks.

Well as it happens I am, says our piece of string.

How about that, says the barman, thirty years behind this bar without ever seeing a piece of string and you’re the second one tonight!

Ah well, says the piece of string, strange world, and off he goes with the drinks.

After an hour the third, dirty, ravelled tatty piece of string goes to the bar.  Three pints of larger please says he.

The barman is amazed, excuse me, but are you a piece of string?  he asks.

BIG FINNISH HERE,

 

No, I’m afraid not!!!!!!
