Ben Dover
Decker wasn't the brightest guy in the world, and his coworkers were continually ribbing him at the factory. One in particular, Gus, would greet him each morning and precipitate this exchange:
"Say, Decker, you seen Ben?"
"Ben, who?"
"Ben' down and kiss my ass!"
Tired of falling for the same joke day after day, Decker confided in his more worldly brother, who said, "Listen. Next time you see this guy, ask him if he's seen Eileen. He'll ask, 'Eileen who?' and you say, 'I lean over and you kiss my ass!'"
Memorizing his lines, Decker went to the work early to wait for Gus. As soon as the bully arrived, Decker ran over.
"Hey Gus, you seen Eileen?"
"No," Gus answered, "She ran off with Ben."
Decker frowned. "Ben who?"
Too tired
Housework was a woman's job, but one evening, Jenny arrived home from work to find the children bathed, one load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer. Dinner was on the stove, and the table set. She was astonished! It turns out that Ralph had read an article that said wives who work full-time and had to do their own housework were too tired to have sex.
The night went well and the next day, she told her office friends all about it. "We had a great dinner. Ralph even cleaned up. He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the laundry and put it away. I really enjoyed the evening." "But what about afterward?" asked her friends.
"Oh, that ..., Ralph was too tired.."
Turkey hunters: Season your turkey when you shoot it
Season Shot is made of tightly packed seasoning bound by a fully biodegradable food product. The seasoning is actually injected into the bird on impact seasoning the meat from the inside out. When the bird is cooked the seasoning pellets melt into the meat spreading the flavor to the entire bird. Forget worrying about shot breaking your teeth and start wondering about which flavor shot to use!
Just shoot the bird. Throw it in the oven. Eat it.
How to reach a human being on the phone
I’ve linked to this (or something like it) a long time ago. It’s a good refresher on how to actually cut through the voice recorded “Your call is imortant to us” bullcrap.
Here are a few examples:
- Ford Motor Credit – Press # at each prompt, ignoring messages.
- Discover Card – Press ****.
- Merrill Lynch – Say "Advisor".
- IRS –
Don't press or say anything. U.S. Postal Service – Press 5 at each prompt, ignoring messages. - New York Times – Press 500.
There are 500 companies listed in this database. Phone numbers are included too.
Businesses That Failed to Duplicate the Success of "I Can't Believe It's Yogurt"
You Have the Audacity to Call This Yogurt?
Bullshit, Dude, That's Not Yogurt
I'm Not Prepared to Call This Yogurt
I Can't Believe It's Not I Can't Believe It's Yogurt!
You're Fucking Kidding Me. This Is Yogurt?
Liar! It's Not Yogurt. It Can't Be
Your Conscience Should Dictate That You Admit This Isn't Yogurt
This Isn't Yogurt, Is It? Wait, It Is? Forget It, Then
Today (11/11) is Corduroy Appreciation Day
Today (11-11) is Corduroy Appreciation Day. It's the date which most closely resembles corduroy.
Corduroy is a fabric composed of twisted fibers that when woven lie parallel (similar to twill) to one another to form the cloth's distinct pattern, a "cord." Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. The word "corduroy" can be used as a noun, a transitive verb or an adjective.
More on corduroy (if you care… and I’m betting you don’t)

Globalization
What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk
on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by a Texan
using Bill Gates' technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer
that uses Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is
Globalization!
A message to Los Angeles
"Over the weekend, Saddam Hussein was found guilty and sentenced to death. So see, L.A., it can be done."
CONFIDENTIAL: SECURITY CAM PHOTO
Taken off the North Corridor that leads to the Senate floor in the US Capitol Building .
This is classified material, so do not ask how or where I got it.
Please DO NOT FORWARD this. The repercussions could shake things up more than you can imagine.
A highly respected politician's head is on the line here, but I feel everyone should know the truth.
Please keep this secret!
I could end up being one of the Clinton 's "pushing up daisies" victims.
Thanks Phyllis
Bride and broom
The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely.
After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride-broom leaned over and said to the groom-broom, "I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!!!"
"IMPOSSIBLE !!" said the groom broom.
Are you ready for this?
Brace yourself.
This is really going to hurt!
"WE HAVEN'T EVEN SWEPT TOGETHER!"
Oh for goodness sake... laugh, or at least groan. Life's too short not to enjoy........ even these silly little cute..... and clean jokes.
Sounds to me like she's been "sweeping" around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Phyllis

A Guide to U.S. Newspapers
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The New York Times is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The Washington Post is read by people who think they should run the country.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand the Washington Post. They do, however like the smog statistics shown in pie charts.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could spare the time, and if they didn't have to leave L.A. to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country, and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country either, as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
9. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country, or that anyone is running it; but whoever it is, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority, feministic atheist dwarfs, who also happen to be illegal aliens from ANY country or galaxy as long as they are democrats.
10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country, but need the baseball scores.

Gone fishing
A husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage. The counselor asks them what is the problem and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on. Finally, the counselor gets up, walks around the desk, embraces the wife and kisses her passionately. The woman shuts up and sits quietly in a daze. The counselor turns to the husband and says, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays ... but on Fridays, I fish." Thanks Gail Jane

Translations
What she said… and what she meant:
"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 five 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. Proceed with extreme caution!
Loud Sigh -- Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is 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 OK" -- This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. "That's OK" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
"Thanks" -- This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you, do not question it, just say "you're welcome" and back out of the room slowly.
A blind date
After being with her all evening, the man couldn't take another minute of his blind date. He secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone. When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said, "I have some bad news. My grand-mother just died."
"Thank heavens," his date replied. "If yours hadn't, mine would have had to."
Great headline

Incredible fishing video
Fish are jumping into the boat. Unbelievable! Dozens of fish… maybe hundreds. Watch the video.
Reminds me of a quote: A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work.
Turn him on
When you flip his switch (and yes, the switch is exactly where you think it is), and turn him on, his whole head lights up as if in embarrassment. Mr. P comes equipped with a lampshade you can use to put over his head or tilt slightly so he can peek out. The switch is made of rubber.
