| When Mr.. Wilkins answered the
door late in the evening one day after he'd lost his wife
scuba diving, he was greeted by two grim-faced policemen.
"We're sorry to call on you at this hour, Mr.
Wilkens, but we have some information about your
wife." "Well...tell me!" he demanded. The policeman said, "We have some bad news, some pretty good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?" Fearing the worse, Mr. Wilkins said, "Give me the bad news first." So the policeman said, "I'm sorry to tell you sir, but we found your wife's body this morning in San Francisco Bay." "OH MY GOD!," said Mr. Wilkens, overcome by emotion. Then, remembering what the policeman had said, he asked, "What's the good news?" "Well," said the policeman, "When we pulled her up she had two five-pound lobsters and a dozen good size Dungeoness crabs on her." "Huh?" he said, not understanding. "So, what's the great news?" The policeman smiled, licked his chops, and said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow morning." A man walked to the top of a hill to talk to God. The man asked, "God, what's a million years to you?" And God said, "A minute." Then the man asked: "Well, what's a million dollars to you?" And God said: "A penny." The man asked: "God.....can I have a penny?" And God said: "Sure... .....In a minute." An 80 year old man went for his annual check up and the doctor said, "Friend, for your age your in the best shape I've seen." The old feller replied, "Yep. It comes from clean living. Why I know I live a good, clean, spiritual life." The doctor asked, "What makes you say that?" The old man replied, "If I didn't live a good, clean life the Lord wouldn't turn the bathroom light on for me every time I get up in the middle of the night." The doc was concerned. You mean when you get up in the night to go to the bathroom, the Lord Himself turns on the light for you?" "Yep," the old man said, "Whenever I get up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for me." Well, the doctor didn't say anything else, but when the old man's with came in for her check up, he felt he had to let her know what her husband said. "I just want you to know," the doctor said. "Your husband's in fine physical shape but I'm worried about his mental condition. He told me that every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for him." "He what?" she cried. "He said every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for him." "Aha!!!" she exclaimed. "So he's the one who's been peeing in the refrigerator! A man was walking in the mountains just enjoying the scenery when he stepped too close to the edge of the mountain and started to fall. In desperation he reached out and grabbed a limb of a gnarly old tree hanging onto the side of the cliff. Full of fear he assessed his situation. He was about 100 feet down a shear cliff and about 900 feet from the floor of the canyon below. If he should slip again he'd plummet to his death. Full of fear, he cries out, "Help me!" But there was no answer. Again and again he cried out but to no avail. Finally he yelled, "Is anybody up there?" A deep voice replied, "Yes, I'm up here." "Who is it?" "It's the Lord" "Can you help me?" "Yes, I can help." "Help me!" "Let go." Looking around the man became full of panic. "What?!?!" "Let go. I will catch you." "Is anybody else up there?"

About that time, a big mean-looking truck driver stepped up next to him and drank the drink he was staring at. The poor man started crying. The truck driver said, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll pay for another drink. I just can't see a man crying." "No, it's not that," the fellow replied. "It's just that this day is the worst one of my life. First, I overslept, and so I got to my office late. My boss was outraged, and he fired me. I left the building, went to my car, and found that it was stolen. The police told me that they couldn't do anything. I caught a cab to return home, and after I got out of it, I remembered that I had left my wallet and credit cards on the seat. The cab driver had just driven away. I went into my home, and I found my wife in bed with the gardener. So I left home again, and I came to this bar. I was thinking about killing myself, but then you showed up and drank my poison. It's been a really bad day." REDNECK COMPUTER TERMS BACKUP - What you do when you
run across a skunk in the woods Famous International Institute of Answering Machine Answers. My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So leave a message. Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money. (Narrator's voice:) There Dale sits, reading a magazine. Suddenly the telephone rings! The bathroom explodes into a veritable maelstrom of toilet paper, with Dale in the middle of it, his arms windmilling at incredible speeds! Will he make it in time? Alas no, his valiant effort is in vain. The bell hath sounded. Thou must leave a message. "Hi. Now you say something." (Japanese message) He-lo! This is Sa-to. If you leave message, I call you soon. If you leave *sexy* message, I call sooner! "Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets." "Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows, or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you." "This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you, and I'll think about returning your call." "Hi. I am probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you." "Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back." |
