Re: Quality Jokes and Humor

Subject: Fwd: Happy Halloween
Bed sheets

An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last
of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset.

Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the
latestď episode was another and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with
diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational.

In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed
sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.

A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He
started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to
get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled
pile at his feet.

As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets,a
hospital security guard, (barely containing his (laughter), and who
had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the heck is going
on here?"

The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I just beat the shit out of
a ghost."

Happy Halloween

I really do try to weigh both side on the issue on health care reform, but the damn thing would not get on the scales of truth.

Smile Re: Quality Jokes and Humor

POSITIVELY PRICELESS!!!

Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about English.

So, how do a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard

"Death To Americans"(etc.) slogans printed in English?

Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English.

Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee
hired for the job was a retired US Army Sergeant!

Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way to Arab TV networks,

but the results were PRICELESS!




Quote:
Summary of the eRumor:
The message says that the picture is of a group of Syrians who can't speak Arabic, much less English. They allegedly hired an English-speaking man to create signs for them that they thought would be insulting to Americans. The man was a retired U.S. Army sergeant, however, and they unwittingly conducted their protest with signs that said "WE ARE IDIOTS!", "BOMB US NEXT!", and "PLEASE KICK OUR ASSES!"
The Truth:
There is no evidence that this ever really happened.

There is no confirmation that this is a picture of Syrians.

From evaluating the pictures itself, it's obvious that someone used a computer program to replace whatever messages were originally on the signs with the English phrases. One of our TruthOrFiction.com subscribers pointed out that the lettering on the signs doesn't conform to the uneven surface on the banner and that when the picture is enlarged one of the letters is actually pasted over a portion of one of the men's foreheads, a clear indication that the messages on the signs were pasted over the original picture.

Re: Quality Jokes and Humor

Damn, that would have been so cool if it was true! I've often wondered if some of the t-shirts with something written in Japanese or some other language not generally spoken locally is really some obscene phrase.

Re: Quality Jokes and Humor

Sam and Matilda had been married for 58 years. And in all that time there had hardly been a nasty word between them. But now, Matilda was showing the signs of extreme age. She was bedridden, and getting weaker by the month. Sam took it upon himself to go throught the house, cleaning out every closet, asking Matilda who should get the possessions she would be leaving behind, and taking care of all the financial and legal tasks that he saw approaching.

And he came across the mysterious shoebox. He had only seen it once before, the week after their honeymoon. And Matilda had made him promise that he would never look in it or ask her about it. And he never did.

But now, Matilda was dying. And she agreed it was time for him to see what was inside the shoebox. It contained two crocheted dolls, each about ten inches tall, and a bundle of hundred dollar bills that totaled ninety-four thousand dollars. Sam was stunned and asked for an explanation.

She told him that her mother had given her some advice the day before her wedding. The advice was: every time she got so mad at her husband that she was afraid of going into a rage or of commiting some violence toward him, she was to immediately crochet a doll. And this advice she had followed her entire married life.

Tears poured down Sam's face. What a wonderful wife she had been! 58 years of marriage, and despite all their disagreements, she had only crocheted TWO dolls!

Through his tears of joy and his smile of love, he asked where the ninety-four thousand dollars had come from.

"Oh, that?" she said, "that was from selling all the other dolls."

Re: Quality Jokes and Humor

There was a young man who as life and luck would have it had fallen in love with a wonderful young lady and was engaged to be married.

But as both life and luck would also have it all was not perfect for the young gentleman, he had suffered when young in a terrible accident with a vacuum cleaner and his penis had been chopped off,

He went from one doctor to another for help because he wanted to be able to please his lady love on their wedding night but to no avail. Finally he went to a Doctor who was famous for unorthodox procedures and was told in no uncertain terms he could be helped but the help would indeed cause him to be different from any other man.

Of course the young man said he didn't care and would submit to what ever it took to give him a penis. The Doctor told the young man he could replace his penis but his new process would only work if the penis was replaced with the trunk of a baby elephant. After some thought he agreed to the process.

A few weeks later the doctor gave him a clean bill of health released him from the hospital and told him he could use his new penis in any way he wanted. His fiancé was anxious for her new man to meet her parents so he agreed to attend a dinner party in his honor that very night.

It was the first time he had ever met his lady loves parents and he was a little nervous but by dinner his hosts had finally made him feel comfortable and as he looked at the sumptuous table he felt the elephant trunk begin to move around in his pants. He wiggled around and finally he had to secretly unbuckle his pants to get "it" to settle down.

As dinner was served the platters were passed around and he took his fork and added a large hot baked potato to his plate. As the platter went on suddenly the baby elephants trunk jumped up and grabed the baked potato and disappeared under the table.


Everyone one was very quiet, no one seemed to know what to say but his hostess tried to appear unperturbed and said, "that was an amazing trick, could you do that again?" The man answered. "Probably, but I'm not sure another baked potato will fit up my ass!"
