Congrats man, you're on your way up. :)

And not to hell with beer, I like beer. And it's dangerous saying that in here with JBI around. He might get angry and use his mighty brewing skills for... brewing. :)

3 referees were having a beer.

The first ref, a rookie says "I call them like I see them."

The second ref, a 5 year veteran says "I call them like they are."

The third ref, with 35 years experience, says "They are as I call them."

Okay guys, let's try to keep this thread free of the mindless babble that belongs in "dont ya mean type" and the bear discussion that belongs in any number of beer threads (including dymt). Also, there's a thread to discuss rising the post count gerbil ranks. Let's keep this one for jokes.

Little Johnny was sitting in class and the teacher asks him a question:

"4 bird are sitting on a fence, you shoot one, how many is left?"

Little Johnny replies, "None."

Teacher says, "Sorry Johnny, let's try again. "4 bird are sitting on a fence, you shoot one, how many is left?"

Little Johnny replies again, "None."

Teacher is confused and asks "How do you come up with that answer?"

Little Johnny says confident, "4 birds on the fence, you shoot one, one falls dead and the other 3 fly away scared. None."

Teacher says, "that's not the answer I was looking for, but I like the way you think"

Little Johnny stands up and says, "Now I got a question for you teacher! 3 women are in an icecream parlor eating icecream, One is licking her icecream, one is sucking her icecream and one is biting her icecream, which one is married?"

Teacher immediately says, "Well, the one sucking her icecream, of course!"

Little Johnny starts shaking his head, "No, teacher, it's the one with the wedding ring. But I like the way you think! :)"

There's an Irish man, English man and a Scots man.

They've just robbed a bank and have hidden out in an old barn when they hear the police pull up outside..

The three of them find some large sacks and get inside them to hide..

The police enter the barn and spot one of the sacks moving, they go over and prod the first sack, "Meeoww" says the Scots man who's hiding inside. "Ahh it's just kittens" says the police officer...

They move along and prod the second sack, "WOOFwoofWOOF" says the English man.. "ahh it's just some puppies" says the officer...

They then move along, prod the third and final sack and the Irish man inside yells out "POTATOES!!"

Best Toast

Thu Mar 17, 2005 2:46 pm

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest
of me life, between the legs of me wife!"

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the best
toast of the night."

She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?"

John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church
beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the
street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize
the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised meself. You
know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep,
and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."

Blond Easter

Wed Mar 23, 2005 5:03 pm

Three natural blondes died and found themselves standing before St Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.


The first blond said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."

St Peter said, "Noooooooo," and he banished her to hell.


The second blond said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts."

St Peter said, "Noooooooo", and he banished her to hell.


The third blond said she knew what Easter is and St Peter said, "So, tell me."

She said, "Easter is a Christian Holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when he was betrayed by Judas and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder.

St Peter said, "Verrrrrrrry Good."


Then the blond continued, "Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If He sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."


St Peter fainted.

You might not want to read this if you are easily offended.














Two preists were in the shower having just attended a religous convention.

After stepping in one of the priests notices that there was no soap, so the other offers to go and fetch some for the both of them. The other priest agrees to wait.

The priest going to fetch the soap decides not to bother with putting his bathrobe on, as the room that he and his friend were staying in was just down the hall.

Just as he was returning from his room with the soap he heard three nuns turn the corner.

He froze.

The three nuns were walking down the hall admiring the artwork and statues. Eventually they stop in front of the priest.

"Oh look! Its so lifelike!" One of the nuns exclaim as she steps in front of the priest and runs her hand over his body

Her hand eventually ends up inbetween the priests legs.

The priest drops one of the bars of soap in suprise, and it falls to the floor

"Oh look!" one of the nuns exclaims "its a soap dispensor for this bathrom!"

The nuns all 'ooh' and 'aah.'

The second nun tries out this amazing 'soap dispensor' and tugs on the priests knob. He drops the other bar of soap, worried about what would happen if the third nun decided to have a go.

The third nun, not wanting to miss out on this experience, tugged on the priests ding, to no avail. "it looks like its broken!" she exclaimed, as she kept tugging and tugging.

"Oh look! Hand soap!"

A minister wakes one Sunday morning to a bright sunny day. He decides to play hooky for a day, and calls his Jr. Pastor to cover services for him as he is very sick.
He then proceeds to get his golf bag and head for the links. The course is beautiful, the sun is shining, and his game is great.

Up in heaven, St. Peter asks God "Aren't you going to do something about this?" God replies, "Wait and see."

As the round of golf continues, the minister is shooting the best game of his life. On the 18th tee, The minister swings... God commands the ball and it bounces off the water, out of a bunker, and right into the cup.

St. Peter is incredulous. "Why are you REWARDING this man for shirking his duty!? I don't understand?!"

God replies "Who's he going to be able to tell about it?"

Where Rock Stars Go When They Die

When Jerry Garcia died, he woke up and found himself on a stage on which a number of instruments were set up. A door offstage opened and in walked Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, John Lennon, Otis Redding and Buddy Holly.

Each musician picked up his favorite instrument and began tuning up.

Jerry walked up to Jimi and said, "Man, so this is what heaven is like."

Jimi looked at him and said, "Heaven? You think this is heaven?"

At that moment, Karen Carpenter walked in, took her seat behind the drums, and called out, "Okay guys, 'Close to You.' One, two, three, four!"
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

It took me forever to remember this joke...

--------------------

One particularly nasty day, three guys named Brett, Carl and Bob died in a car crash and found themselves in Hell. They were a little confused at their present situation, and they were startled to see a door in the wall open, and behind the door was perhaps the ugliest woman they had ever seen. She was 3'4", dirty, and you could smell her even over the Brimstone.

The voice of the Devil was heard, "Brett, you have sinned! You are condemned to spend the rest of eternity in bed with this woman!" And Brett was whisked through the door by a group of lesser demons to his torment.

This understandably shook up the other two, and so they both jumped when a second door opened, and they saw an even more disgusting example of womanhood gone wrong. She was over 7' tall, monstrous, covered in thick black hair, and flies circled her.

The voice of the Devil was heard, "Carl, you have sinned! You are condemned to spend the rest of eternity in bed with this woman!" And Carl, like Brett, was whisked off.

Bob, now alone, felt understandably anxious, and feared the worst when the third door opened. And as the door inched open, he strained to see the figure of ... Cindy Crawford. Delighted, Bob jumped up, taking in the sight of this beautiful woman, barely dressed in a skimpy bikini. Then he heard the voice of the Devil saying:

"Cindy Crawford, you have sinned ........"

WORDS WOMEN USE

Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:43 am

WORDS WOMEN USE
*************************************

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 5 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. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement 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 OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

Can you tell an American didn't write that joke? :D
Still kinda funny though.
If only terrorists went after the president. Then no one would be against them.

this is from a friends Blog:

I don't know how hip hop got such a bad rep
I don't know where these people groups get the idea that all these rap artists are bad role models. For instance

50 cent, his latest song is about the candy shop he says, "I take you to the candy shop I'll let you lick the lollypop" which is really nice. What kid doesn't like candy and the parents love it cause it teaches kids to share! Another line: "I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands (ha ha)" which is a clever play off of the M&M slogan. No wonder this song is blowing up!

X-zibit, he hasn't done much with his music, but he is giving back to society! His show Pimp My Ride has done wonders for those who can't afford a nice car. Modern day Mother Theresa? I think so.

Nelly, the chorus to his song 'flap your wings' says this "Drop down and get your eagle on, girl (flap your wings)". BRILLIANT! Not only does it have strong patriotic undertones [the eagle is our country's mascot] but it also is telling someone that even though they're down that they need to get up and try again. What an encourager.

Sir-Mix-Alot, his infamous song 'Baby Got Back' is just shy of amazing. The way society views being grotesquely skinny as beautiful has been one of the main contributing factors to many of the eating disorders in young teen girls today. This song alone has been a catalyst to counteract the societal views of beauty. There have been number spin offs from this such as 'back that thang up' or the 'thong song' which is just a testament to it's greatness. Way to get the word out with your music!

Snoop Dogg, he's just brilliant. A guy that can make up his own language on the spot is something for english/grammar teachers to envy.

Jeff Foxworthy on Indiana

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Indiana.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Indiana.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the year, you might live in Indiana.

If someone in a store offers you assistance & they don't work there, you might live in Indiana.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Indiana.

If you have ever worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might live in Indiana.

If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might live in Indiana.

If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Indiana.


YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Indianan WHEN:

1. Vacation means going north or south on I-65 for the weekend.

2. You measure distance in hours.

3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

4. You often switch from heat to AC in the same day and back again.

5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.

6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events including weddings.

7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.

Jake was dying. His wife, Becky, was maintaining a candlelight vigil by his side. She held his fragile hand, tears running down her cheeks. Her praying roused him from his slumber.

He looked up and his pale lips began to move slightly. "Becky my darling" he whispered.

"Hush my love," she said. "Rest, don't talk."

He was insistent. "Becky," he said in his tired voice, "I have something that I must confess."

There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping Becky, "Everything's all right, go to sleep."

"No, no. I must die in peace, Becky. I ... I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!"

I know, sweetheart," whispered Becky, "let the poison work."

The Four Cats

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were. The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist, and the fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat.

"T-square, do your stuff."

T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said,

"Spreadsheet, do your stuff."

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies...Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said,

"Measure, do your stuff."

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop onto the floor.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, "What can your cat do?"

The Government Employee called his cat and said,

"Coffee Break, do your stuff."

Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, took a dump on the paper, screwed the other three cats, claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for Workers Compensation, and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.
