At the bar
A rather confident man, walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No", he replies, "I just bought this state-of-the-art watch and I was just testing it."
The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"
"It uses alpha waves to telepathically talk to me," he explains.
"What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties..."
The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken then, because I am wearing panties!"
And the man starts tapping on the watch face and says, "Damn thing must be an hour fast."
Red Neck Road Rage
A couple of Canadian red necks get into some road rage with a rich guy in a BMW Z4. Don't judge a book by its cover, just cause he drives a nice car doesn't mean he's soft.
Great video.

A young boy wonders....
A little boy went up to his father and asked: "Dad, where DID all of my intelligence come from?
The father replied. "Well son, you must have got it from your mother, cause I still have mine".
She's back, she's gassy and she hates you... and so on and so on...
She's back, she's gassy, and she hates you.
did I mention that she's gassy?
I couldn't watch the whole thing.. Can you?

Phone cam magic
Marco Tempest - PhoneCam Magic #2 - Did you see it... ?
Easy Writer.... or Big Writer
"Stop the leaks"
WASHINGTON - Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance to his policies in Iraq, President Bush - living up to his recent declaration that he is in charge - told his top officials to "stop the leaks" to the media, or else.
News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately.
Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see any stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a senior administration official who asked that his name not be used.
Golfer and Leprechaun
A Golfer hit a terrible slice into the deep woods. Looking for his ball, he was amazed to find a Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball beside him. Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him.
"Arrgh! What happened?" the Leprechaun asked.
"I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball," the golfer says.
"Oh, I see. Well, ye caught me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?"
"Thank God, you're all right!" the golfer answers in relief. "I don't want anything. I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize." And the golfer walks away.
"What a nice guy," the Leprechaun says to himself. I'll give him the three things I would want....a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life."
A year goes by golfer is back. On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.
"Twas me that made ye hit the ball here," the little guy says. "I just want to ask ye, how's yer golf game?"
"My game is fantastic!" the golfer answers. I'm an internationally famous golfer now."
"Well, I did that fer yer golf game, you know. And tell me, how's yer money situation?"
"Why, it's just wonderful!" the golfer states. When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100.00 bills I didn't even know were there!"
"I did that fer ye also. And tell me, how's yer sex life?"
The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, "It's OK."
"C'mon, c'mon now," urged the Leprechaun, "I'm wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?"
Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers, "Once, sometimes twice a week."
"What?" responds the Leprechaun in disappointment, "That's all? Only once or twice a week?"
"Well," says the golfer, "That's not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish."

Bath time curiosities
A three-year-old boy was examining his pee pee while taking a bath. "Mama," he asked, "are these my brains?"
Mama smiled and answered, "Not yet."
CDC ALERT
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced "gonna re-elect him."
Many victims contracted it in 2004, after having been screwed for the past four years. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease originated only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas.
(No hate mail please. I’d have done it it if it were a Democrat joke too. ‘Cause it’s funny.)
Evil brothers
There were two evil brothers who were rich and used their money to hide their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church and looked to be perfect Christians.
Then, their pastor retired, and a new one was hired. Not only could he see right through the brothers' deception, but he also spoke well and true, and the church started to swell in numbers. A fundraising campaign was started to build a new assembly.
All of the sudden, one of the brothers died. The surviving brother sought out the new pastor the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying for the new building.
"I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you must say my brother was a saint." The pastor gave his word and deposited the check.
The next day, at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back. "He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and abused his family." He went on in this vein for a small time, and the surviving brother was clearly fuming in his seat.
"But," the pastor concluded, "compared to his brother, he was a saint!"
Misleading food names
Here are a few:
- Boston cream pie and Washington Pie are cakes not pies.
- French fries probably originated in Belgium. The name comes from the cooking term to french which is a method of cutting into strips.
- French salad dressing is unknown in France.
- Head cheese is not cheese, but a terrine made from the meat of a calf or pig's head (in United Kingdom it is called brawn)
- German chocolate cake is not a German torte but a wholly American layer cake deriving its name from Sam German, who invented the sweet baking chocolate German's Baker's chocolate in 1852.
- Hot dogs - meat, but not dog meat. Reputedly named for the sausage's resemblance to the shape of the dachshund dog.
- Rocky Mountain oysters, also known as "prairie oysters", are not oysters, nor are they from the Rocky Mountains, particularly. They are calf's or bull's testicles, which some people consider to be a delicacy.
- Flaming Dr. Pepper tastes like Dr Pepper but contains none.
- Long Island Iced Tea has no tea in it and is extremely alcoholic.
- Chick-o-Stick: not a stick of chicken, or chicken on a stick, but a candy bar
- Chicken of the Sea: canned tuna
- Grape-nuts: cereal contains neither grapes nor nuts.

Is it my lucky day or is it just a scam?
According to an email I just received PayPal, or someone pretending to be PayPal, is supposedly going to give me $100 for answering 5 questions.
Here are the questions:
Sound too good to be true? Of course it is. Once you answer these very difficult questions, they want all your information including your Social Security number. On the next screen they’ll ask for your PayPal login and password to “deposit” the $100 into your account. They might even want your credit card numbers too (I don’t know because I didn’t go that far to see).
The first clue when I see something like this is to hold the mouse pointer over the link and see what the URL is going to go to when you click the link. (The URL displays in the bottom left of your window.) Like below:
That doesn’t look anything like paypal.com to me.
As you’ve heard time and time again….. if it sounds too good to be true it is.
Be careful when you golf
Towards the end of the golf course, Dave hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercup. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch.
All of a sudden.....POOF! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said, "I'm Mother Nature! do you know how long it took me to make those buttercup? Just for doing what you have done, you won't have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life: better still, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life...... As a matter of fact, you'll never have any butter for anything the rest of your life!!!!!
Then POOF!......she was gone!
After Dave recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, "Fred, where are you?"
Fred yells back "I'm over here in the pussy willows."
Dave shouts back, "DON'T SWING, Fred; for the love of God, DON'T SWING!!!"

Back when parts of this were still possible....
An airline passenger flags down a flight steward and says, "Captain, I want a drink, but I have not seen the stewardess anywhere around."
The steward answers, "Actually, I am not the captain. This airline is proud to have integrated many of the traditional male-female roles of the industry. I would be happy to get you a drink."
"Wow, what does the captain think of that?"
"She is all for it," explains the flight steward. "In fact, the entire flight crew is female."
"I don't believe it! Take me up to the cockpit so I can see for myself!"
"Actually sir," coughs the steward, "we don't call it that anymore."
The sound behind the door
A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"
The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We cannot tell you. You are not a monk."
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way.
Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks gain accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but once again the monks reply, "We cannot tell you. You are not a monk."
The man says, "All right, all right. I am dying to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?"
The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk."
So the man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, "I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth."
The monks reply, "Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound." And then they lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is right behind that door."
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, "Real funny. May I have the key?"
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, amethyst.
Finally, the monks say, "This is the last key to the last door." The man is relieved almost beyond belief. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound.
But I cannot tell you what it is, because you are not a monk.

There's something about Mary
The Virgin Mary, that is….
First, she appeared on a grilled cheese. Then, a highway underpass.
Now, behold, the Virgin Mary has descended upon the belly of a Burbank pet turtle.
In a shallow plastic tank on Lotus Drive, the chocolate brown vision beams from the pink gut of a sand turtle named Mary.
Sitting beneath a gold-speckled paper plate featuring a coloring book version of Jesus' mom, Shirley McVane dangled the turtle from her plump fingers.
"She came to a holy house," said the feisty 81-year-old, her voice a low rumble. "I think she came to visit us so God knows she's happy and safe."
About a year ago, McVane's grandson bought her little Mary and her tank-mate Joseph (they were named after the silhouette appeared) from a local pet store.
The turtles were just babies then, smaller than a quarter. But as they grew, the image on Mary's belly began to take shape.
