John - I only have one question.

"How can you get scared to death twice?"

A few observations:

Does God have a navel? Man has a navel and man was made in his image. God must have a navel.

Congress means "to come together". Does progress must mean "to fall apart".

Teflon can never be convicted of a crime because they can't get a charge to stick to it.

How can there be an exception to every rule because that rule has no exception.

According to the 1970s commercial, the guy who drives the plow drives a VW. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

If a word in the dictionary is misspelled, how would anybody know?

If you shoot a mime, do you have to use a silencer?

One bright day, in the middle of the night
two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back, they faced each other.
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise, and came and shot the two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man...he saw it too.

John,

Thanks for the laughs!! Snopes, eh? No matter, 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot anyways.

I think Linda sent these to me a few weeks back - just returning the favor:


Good Questions !!!

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out"?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

What do you call male ballerinas?

Why ARE Trix only for kids?

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Is Disney World the only people trap operated by a mouse?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your *ss?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window.


Stay safe! Stay sharp! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
