And, lo, it came to pass that the trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she came to be called Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why do thou travel far from town to town with thy goods, when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags shortof a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?" And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price.And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)." Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And Dot said, "There will be a lot of banging in the land." And Abraham replied, "It is my most fervent wish that this be so." And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had, at the top price, without ever moving from his tent. But his success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Side rites, or NERDS for short. And, lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums, that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would only work if you bought Brother William's drumsticks. And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known, "eBay," he said, "We need a name of a service that reflects what we are." And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "Whoopee!" said Abraham. "No, YAHOO!" said Dot Com.

A keen Texas lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store. The store was the biggest in the world and sold everything under the sun.

"Have you ever been a salesman before?" the boss asked during his interview.

"Yes, I was a salesman in Texas," the lad answered. The boss took an immediate liking to him and told him he could start the next day.

"I'll come and see how you made out after we close up," the boss said.

The day was long and hard for the young man, but finally it was 5 o'clock. The boss closed up the store and found the lad sitting, slumped and exhausted, in a chair. "How many sales did you make today?" the boss asked.

"One," said the lad.

"One?" said the boss, obviously displeased. "Most of the sales people on my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale worth?"

"Exactly $101,334.53," said the young man.

"How did you manage that?!?" asked the boss, flabbergasted.

"Well," said the lad, "this man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook, and finally a really large hook. Then I sold him a small fishing line, a medium one, and huge one. I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said he was going down the coast. I said he'd probably need a boat, so I took him down to the boat department and sold him that fancy 22- foot Chris Craft with twin engines. Then he said his Honda Civic probably wouldn't be able to handle the load, so I took him to the vehicle department and sold him a new GMC 1-ton pickup truck."

"You sold all that to guy who came in for a fish hook?" the boss asked in astonishment.

"He didn't come in to buy a fish hook," the Texas boy explained. "He came in to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said to him, 'Your weekend's shot. You might as well go fishing.' "

Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More Stress.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink.

In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from.

Just then the door bell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you like to put this tree, fat man?"

And that my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree.


One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the three Little Pigs to her class.

She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home.

She read. .."and so the pig went to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'

The teacher paused and then asked the class, "and what do you think that the man said?"

One little boy raised his hand and said, "I know... he said, Holy S...! A talking pig!"


A middle aged couple was discussing life and preparing wills. The conversation turned to remarriage....

Wife: If I should die first, would you remarry?
Husband: Probably, I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life alone.

Wife: Would you bring your new wife into the home that we have shared?
Husband: I don't see why not. It would be empty. You wouldn't be here.

Wife: Would you share the same bed we"ve shared
Husband: Well, its a comfortable bed..

Wife: Would you let her wear my clothes?
Husband: Sure, if they fit. They are quite nice.

Wife: Would you let her use my golf clubs?
Husband: No way, she"s left handed


One school day the teacher decided that in science class she would teach about valuable materials; so she stood in front of the class and said "Children, if you could have one raw material in the world what would it be?"

Little Stevie raised his hand and said "I would want gold because it is worth a lot of money and I could buy a Porsche."

Little Susie raised her hand and said "I would want Platinum because it is worth more than gold and I could buy a Corvette."

The teacher smiled and then called about Johnny who was violently waving his hand. Johnny stood up and said "I want silicon."

The teacher said, "Why Johnny?"

Because, he said, "my mom said she has two bags full of silicon and you should see the sports cars outside our house"

A guy gets a new dog and he can't wait to show him off to his neighbor. So when the neighbor comes over, the guy calls the dog into the house, bragging about how smart the critter is. The dog quickly comes running and stands looking up at his master, tail wagging furiously, mouth open in classic doggie-smile position, eyes bright with anticipation. The guy points to the newspaper on the couch and commands, "Fetch!"

Immediately, the dog sits down, the tail wagging stops, the doggie-smile disappears; he hangs his head, looks balefully up at his master, and says in a whiney voice, "Oy! My tail hurts from wagging so much. And that dog food you're feeding me tastes absolutely terrible. And I can't remember the last time you took me out for a walk..."

The neighbor looks puzzled.

"Oh", explains the dog owner, "he thought I said 'Kvetch.'"

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked.

Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And, the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer.

For a few minutes, John heard the bird squawk and kick and scream... then suddenly there was quiet Not a peep for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything to correct my poor behavior."

John was astonished at the bird's change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"

Translated from Latin scroll dated 2BC

Dear Cassius:

Are you still working on the Y zero K problem? This change from BC to AD is giving us a lot of headaches and we haven't much time left. I don't know how people will cope with working the wrong way around. Having been working happily downwards forever, now we have to start thinking upwards. You would think that someone would have thought of it earlier and not left it to us to sort it all out at this last minute.

I spoke to Caesar the other evening. He was livid that Julius hadn't done something about it when he was sorting out the calendar. He said he could see why Brutus turned nasty. We called in Consultus, but he simply said that continuing downwards using minus BC won't work and as usual charged a fortune for doing nothing useful. Surely we will not have to throw out all our hardware and start again? Macrohard will make yet another fortune out of this I suppose.

The money lenders are paranoid of course! They have been told that all usury rates will invert and they will have to pay their clients to take out loans. It's an ill wind......

As for myself, I just can't see the sand in an hourglass flowing upwards. We have heard that there are three wise men in the East who have been working on the problem, but unfortunately they won't arrive until it's all over. I have heard that there are plans to stable all horses at midnight at the turn of the year as there are fears that they will stop and try to run backwards, causing immense damage to chariots and possible loss of life. Some say the world will cease to exist at the moment of transition. Anyway, we are still continuing to work on this blasted Y zero K problem. I will send a parchment to you if anything further develops.

If you have any ideas please let me know,

Plutonius

A client brings his Labrador Retriever to the Vet because he is listless and has lost his appetite. The doctor examines the dog and performs a battery of tests while the owner observes. Finally, the Vet brings in a cat and passes it under the dogs nose. There is little response.

Later when the Vet is making out his bill he itemizes all the various tests with a nominal billing and one item for $100.00. The owner is a bit put out at this charge and asks what test is worth $100.00. Oh, said the Vet, that's for the cat scan.

The Dog Rules

Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog stays outside in a specially built wooden compartment named, for a very good reason, the doghouse.

OKAY, the dog can enter the house, but only for short visits or if his own house is under renovations.

OKAY, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis provided his doghouse could be sold at a lawn sale to a rookie dog owner.

Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined to a comfortable, but secure metal cage.

OKAY, the cage becomes part of a "two for one" deal in the lawn sale and the dog can go wherever the hell he pleases.

The dog is never allowed on the furniture.

OKAY, the dog can get up on the old furniture, but not the new furniture.

OKAY, the dog can get up on the new furniture until it looks like the old furniture and then we'll sell the whole works and buy new furniture on which the dog will most definitely not be allowed. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period.

OKAY, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed only.

OKAY, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the covers.

OKAY, the dog can sleep under the covers, but not with his head on the pillow.

OKAY, the dog can sleep alongside you, under the covers, with his head on the pillow, but if he snores, he got to leave the room.

OKAY, the dog can sleep and snore and fart and have nightmares in your bed, but he's not to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where you are now sleeping. That's just not fair. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaires as "primary resident" even if its true. Remember, in any and all household interactions or disputes -- the dog rules!

A "Blond" Joke

[For those of you who are blonde, I apologize in advance, but since my wife is blonde, and also very intelligent, I figure I can slip this one in.]

A blonde grew very tired of all the blonde jokes, and was bound and determined to prove them all wrong. So she took two weeks off from work, got out a map of the U.S., and studied it like crazy. When she went back to work, she said, "Okay, I'm real sick of all the blonde jokes, and I'm going to prove you wrong. Go ahead. Name any state in the U.S. and I'll tell you it's capital."

"All right," someone said, "what's the capital of Vermont?"

"Ha!" She looked him dead in the eye, threw back her hair, and said, "V!"

 

A True Story

About a year ago, I was driving in the car with my daughters, Kate and Jill. Kate was four years old and sat next to me in the front seat; Jill was three years old, and was sitting in the back seat.

Kate says, "Dad? I want a rabbit and a dog, okay? Okay Dad? I want a dog, and I want a rabbit. Okay? Dad, I want a rabbit and a dog."

Jill leaned forward in her seat to listen.

"Well, I don't know," I said. "Having a dog is a big responsibility. Dogs like to chew on things, so you'll have to make sure it doesn't chew on the furniture. And you'll have to make sure you feed the dog every day and that it has plenty of water."

Kate got very quiet and serious and stared straight ahead. She was thinking hard about this, I could tell.

"And what if the dog gets sick," I continued, "who'll take care of it? Or what if the dog makes a mess on the carpet? You'd have to help clean up after the dog."

Kate was still very serious, and was trying to work this out in her mind.

"Dad," Jill piped up from the back seat. "I think I just want a rabbit."

A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with a Newfoundland he doted on and loved with all his heart. One day, the Newfoundland died, and Muldoon went to the parish preist and asked, "Father, me Newfoundland has died. Could you be having a mass for the wonderful creature?"

Father Patrick replied, "No, we can't have services for a dog in the Church, but there's a new denomination on down the road a bit, no telling what they believe. 'Tis possible they will have a service for ya or at least do something for yer poor Newfoundland dog."

Muldoon, answered "Aye, I'll be thanking ya then. This is wonderful Father, I appreciate the advice so much, I'll go straight away." Then Muldoon paused and asked, "Just one other question, Father. Tell me, do you think 50,000 pounds is enough to donate for the service of me beloved Newfoundland?"

"Saints preserve us, Muldoon," Father Patrick said, "now why didn't you tell me straight away your Newfoundland was Catholic?"

Here are a few REAL court transcripts. Brainless cross-examiners, etc.

What is the difference between a dog and a cat?
A dog lives in your house and sees that you give it food and water and says to itself, "Wow, these beings give me food and water without my having to do anything. They must be gods!"
A cat lives in your house and sees that you give it food and water and says to itself, "Wow, these beings give me food and water without my having to do anything. I must be a god!"


A little boy of six wandered into the kitchen one morning before breakfast and asked his mother her age. She replied that was no concern of his. He then asked her her weight and got the same reply.
After breakfast as he strode toward the door on his way to school, he turned to his mother and fiercely asked, "OK, then, why are you and Daddy separated?" Mother did not respond.
At school our little man asked one of his older friends why his mother did not want to answer his questions. The eight-year-old friend told him he didn't have to ask his mother. He could simply find the answers by going to her purse and looking for the information on her drivers license.   Sure enough our little six-year-old raced home and went to his mother's wallet and looked at her drivers license.
That night at dinner he perked up and said to his mother, "You are 36 years old and weigh 128 pounds." His mother was shocked but nodded in agreement. And then with a mischievous air, he said, "And I know why you and Daddy are separated -- you got an F in sex!"

A Salesman is trying to call a client. The phone rings and their little boy, in a whisper, says “Hello?”

Salesman: “Can I speak with her?”

Salesman: “Is your daddy there?”
Little Boy: (whispering) “Yes.”
Salesman: “Can I speak with him?”
Little Boy: (whispering) “No, he’s busy.”
Salesman: “Is anyone else there?”

Salesman: “Can I talk to one of them?”

Salesman: “Is anyone ELSE there?”
Little Boy: (whispering) “The police are here, too.”
Salesman: “Well, can I talk to one of THEM?”
Little Boy: (whispering) “No, they’re busy, too.”
Salesman: “Let me get this straight. Your mother, father, the fire department, AND the police department are ALL in your house, and they’re ALL busy? WHAT are they doing?”
Little Boy: (whispering) “Looking for me!”
