    Beer fest
    I'll drink to that Gary!

    The lawyer (nobody here I'm sure)...
    There was this lawyer who had just bought a new car, and he was eager to show it off to his colleagues, when all of a sudden an eighteen wheeler came out of nowhere and took of the driver's side door with him standing right there. "NOOO!" he screamed, because he knew that no matter how good a mechanic tried to fix it, it never would be the same. Finally, a cop came by, and the lawyer ran up to him yelling. "MY NEW JAGUAR WAS JUST RUINED BY SOME FOOLISH DRIVER!!!" he exclaimed. "You're a lawyer aren't you?" asked the policeman. "Yes, I am, but what does this have to do with my car?!?!" the lawyer asked. "Well, you lawyers are always so materialistic. All you care about is your possessions. I'll bet you didn't even notice that your left arm is missing too, did you?" the cop said. The lawyer looked at his left side and exclaimed "OH MY GOD, MY ROLEX!"

    Votrient
    Not me Gary. My watch packed up a few weeks ago and I've been saving up. Just bought a new one and it cost less than 10 bucks.

    Collected my first issue of Votrient this afternoon. My Wife is setting up a video camera ready to film my hair turning white.

    The leaflet says I should be taking the caplets with water and that "Your blood pressure will be checked before you take Votrient and while you are taking it" - I've got the water ready but my Wife's getting the camera so there's no-one here to take my blood pressure!

    I've hit a problem already. They say "Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine" but I can't read German or Dutch. I wonder if it's OK for me to use an interpreter - any advice anyone?

    With the fast-growing new tumour, my right side is feeling rather sore so I'm hoping for a side effect as soon as possible!

    Well, dinner will be ready soon. I needed to take the med at least an hour before eating and it's taken me half an hour to read the leaflet so I seem to have missed the first window already.

    The interpreter and cheap watches...
    T,

    I'm German and my wife is dutch, but neither of us be be of any use to you as an interpreter I'm afraid.

    There once was a young man whom after boasting that he was fluent in all known languages except Greek was handed a note written in Chinese to which he exclaimed "That's Greek to me!"

    I know I am not alone in wishing you the best and holding my breath while awaiting your results. If anybody can make this work, you are the one. You have the spirit, attitude, and knowledge, when added to the prayers coming your way from around the globe I see nothing but a successful outcome. Perhaps sleeping upside down in a cave will keep your hair from turning.

    Oh, the watch;

    There was the guy that lived next door to two lesbians. When they gave him a Timex for X-Mas he was puzzled and asked "What's with the Timex?" "Well," they said "when we asked what you would like for X-Mas you said "I wanna watch!"

    Hang in there my friend,

    Gary

    It was a Dark and Stormy Night.........
    Bob Hill and his new wife Betty were vacationing in Europe....as it happens, near Transylvania. They were driving in a rental car along a rather deserted highway. It was late and raining very hard. Bob could barely see the road in front of the car. Suddenly, the car skids out of control! Bob attempts to control the car, but to no avail! The car swerves and smashes into a tree.

    Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks over at the passenger seat and sees his wife unconscious, with her head bleeding! Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knows he has to get her medical assistance.
    Bob carefully picks his wife up and begins trudging down the road. After a short while, he sees a light. He heads towards the light, which is coming from a large, old house. He approaches the door and
    knocks.

    A minute passes. A small, hunched man opens the door. Bob immediately blurts, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"

    "I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone. My master is as doctor; come in, and I will get him!"

    Bob brings his wife in.

    An older man comes down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have had a basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the laboratory."

    With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following closely.. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table.

    After a brief examination, Igor's master looks worried. "Things are serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion."

    Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail. Bob and Betty Hill are no more.

    The Hills' deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbs the steps to his conservatory, which houses his grand piano. For it is here that he has always found solace. He begins to play, and a stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house.

    Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. His eyes catch movement, and he notices the fingers on Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting piano music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise, marking the beat! He is further amazed as Betty and Bob both sit up straight!

    Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory. He bursts in and shouts to his master,


    "Master, Master!..... The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"



    (I am soooooo sorry.....but you really should've seen that one coming!!)

    Noah today...
    In the year 2011, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in America and said:
    "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me."

    "Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans."
    He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will
    start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."

    Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark."Noah!," He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
    "Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed." "I needed a Building Permit."

    "I've been arguing with the Boat Inspector about the need for a sprinkler system."

    "My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood by-laws by building the Ark in my back yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the local Planning Committee for a decision."

    "Then the local Council and the Electricity Company demanded a shed load of money for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the
    passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear none of it."

    "Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Greater Spotted Barn Owl." "I tried to convince the environmentalists that I
    needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!"

    "When I started gathering the animals the ASPCA took me to court. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space."

    "Then the Environmental Agency ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood."

    "I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew."

    "The Immigration Dept. is checking the visa status of most of the people who want to work."

    "The trade unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience."

    "To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species."

    "So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."

    "Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky."

    Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
    "No," said the Lord. " The Government beat me to it."

    In honor for those who serve...
    You could have heard a pin drop;


    JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when De Gaulle decided to pull out of NATO. De Gaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

    Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"

    De Gaulle did not respond.
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.

    He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not
    return."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?"

    A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand
    gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?"
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

    Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"

    Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...

    Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

    "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

    Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

    "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

    The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

    "Impossible..Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"

    The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."

    A Liverpool Love Story
    A Liverpool Love Story

    A young woman in Liverpool was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the Mersey.

    She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the freezing water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the pier, crying.

    He took pity on her and said, "Look, you have so much to live for. I'm off to America in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day."

    Moving closer, he slipped his arm round her shoulder and added, "I'll keep you happy, and you'll keep me happy."

    The girl nodded yes, after all, what did she have to lose? Perhaps a fresh start in America would give her life new meaning.

    That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat.

    From then on, every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn.

    Two weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain... "What are you doing here?" the captain asked.

    "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained. "I get food and a trip to America, and he's screwing me."



    "He certainly is," the captain said. "This is the Birkenhead Ferry.”

    HOLY HUMOR

    During these serious and troubled times, people of all faiths should remember
    These four great religious truths:
    1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's Chosen People.
    2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
    3.Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.
    4. Baptists do not recognize each other at the liquor store.

    GOOD SAMARITAN
    A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan.
    She asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?"
    A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence. "I think I'd throw up."

    DID NOAH FISH?
    A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?"
    "No," replied Johnny. "He couldn't, he only had two worms."

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
    A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23 . She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."

    UNANSWERED PRAYER
    The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.
    "Well, Honey," he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. "I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon."
    "How come He doesn't answer it?" she asked.

    BEING THANKFUL
    A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?"
    The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"

    ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS
    When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past). For several weeks after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, "And all girls." It soon became part of her nightly routine to include this closing. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?" Her response, "Because everybody always finishes their prayers by saying 'All Men'!"

    SAY A PRAYER
    Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started to eat right away.
    "Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer," said his mother. "I don't need to," the boy replied.
    "Of course, you do," his mother insisted. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house."
    "That's at our house." Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook.

    JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when De Gaulle decided to pull out of NATO. De Gaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

    Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"

    De Gaulle did not respond.

    When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.

    He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not
    return."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?"

    A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand
    gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?"
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

    Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"

    Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...

    Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

    "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

    Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

    "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

    The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

    "Impossible..Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"

    The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."

    Moses...
    Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel ,
    "Pick up your shovels, mount your **** and camels, and I will lead
    you to the Promised Land."

    Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels,
    sit on your ****, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."


    Today, Congress has stolen your shovel, taxed your ****, raised the
    price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

    I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the
    economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement
    funds, etc .... I called a Suicide Hotline.

    I had to press 1 for English.

    I was connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal.

    They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck......

    Beer & brothers...
    A man walks into a bar and orders three beers.

    The bartender brings him the three beers, and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third, until they're gone.

    He then orders three more and the bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold, so you can start with one, and I'll bring you a fresh one as soon as you're low."

    The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the Ireland. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night, we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three beers, too, and we're drinking together."

    The bartender thinks it's a wonderful tradition, and every week he sets up the guy's three beers. Then one week, the man comes in and orders only two. He drinks them and then orders two more. The bartender says sadly, "Knowing your tradition, I'd just like to just say that I'm sorry you've lost a brother."

    The man replies, "Oh, my brothers are fine -- Doctor told me I had to quit drinking."

    Best Friends
    So, a Rabbi and a Priest have been best friends in Brooklyn since Grammar School. One day the Rabbi says to his best friend “Father…..just how far can you go in this field of yours. The Priest says, “What do you mean Rabbi? He says…..really “how far can you go in this field you’ve picked"? The Priest says well…….If I’m a good Priest one day after some time in the neighborhood and higher education I might become a monsignor. The Rabbi says and that’s it…..you can’t go any further than that? He says well Rabbi, after my work as Monsignor years down the road I might be promoted to the position of Bishop. His friend the Rabbi says, so that’s it, you can’t go any further than that. He says Rabbi, what do you want me to say…..after years of working as the local Bishop I might become a Cardinal…..I never thought that far down the line, but it’s possible. I might just become a Cardinal. The Priest is now smiling, thinking of himself as a Cardinal when his friend the Rabbi says……so that’s the end. Once you’re a Cardinal you have nowhere else to go? He says, Rabbi what’s wrong with you……what are you looking for here….you want me to tell that you that one day I might be called to the Vatican to become one of the seven Cardinals to the Pope? Is that what you want me to say? Would that be enough for you? The Rabbi says, so let’s say you’re at the Vatican…..Now you’re working directly for the Pope. That’s the end. You go nowhere from there? He says Rabbi…..what do you want me to say? You want me to tell you that one day I might become the Pope? The Rabbi takes a second and says to his friend…OK you’re now the Pope….Is that it? That’s the end? Your career is now over? No more promotions? The priest screams at his friend and says…..What do you want me to say Rabbi, that One day I might become Jesus Christ? The Rabbi looks at his friend and says “Well…..One of Our Boys made it!

    HOLY HUMOR

    During these serious and troubled times, people of all faiths should remember
    These four great religious truths:
    1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's Chosen People.
    2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
    3.Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.
    4. Baptists do not recognize each other at the liquor store.

    GOOD SAMARITAN
    A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan.
    She asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?"
    A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence. "I think I'd throw up."

    DID NOAH FISH?
    A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?"
    "No," replied Johnny. "He couldn't, he only had two worms."

    THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
    A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23 . She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."

    UNANSWERED PRAYER
    The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.
    "Well, Honey," he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. "I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon."
    "How come He doesn't answer it?" she asked.

    BEING THANKFUL
    A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?"
    The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"

    ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS
    When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past). For several weeks after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, "And all girls." It soon became part of her nightly routine to include this closing. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?" Her response, "Because everybody always finishes their prayers by saying 'All Men'!"

    Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started to eat right away.
    "Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer," said his mother. "I don't need to," the boy replied.

Is that what you want me to say? Would that be enough for you? The Rabbi says, so let’s say you’re at the Vatican…..Now you’re working directly for the Pope. That’s the end. You go nowhere from there? He says Rabbi…..what do you want me to say? You want me to tell you that one day I might become the Pope? The Rabbi takes a second and says to his friend…OK you’re now the Pope….Is that it? That’s the end? Your career is now over? No more promotions? The priest screams at his friend and says…..What do you want me to say Rabbi, that One day I might become Jesus Christ? The Rabbi looks at his friend and says “Well…..One of Our Boys made it!
