A massive legacy of Jokes - Over 80 jokes on one page

I found the jokes I had on my old joke site. Here are all the jokes. Print this entire page out and destroy an entire tree worth of paper.

Men are Lunatics, Women are Nuts

The Difference:
Women have more imagination than men.
They need it to tell us how wonderful we are. Women have their
faults. Men have only two. Everything they say. Everything they do.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

The Style:
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow
deteriorate during the night. When women are depressed they either
eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole
different way of thinking. A man will pay two dollars for a
one-dollar item he wants. A woman will pay one dollar for a
two-dollar item that she doesn't want.

The Workplace:
When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her
opinions, she's a bitch. Women are the only exploited group in
history who have been idealized into powerlessness.

Relationships:
Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Dogs are a man's best friend. Now
you know which sex is smarter.
Most men's primary fantasy is still, unfortunately, access to a number
of beautiful women. For a man, commitment means giving up this
fantasy. Most women's primary fantasy is a relationship with one man
who either provides economic security or is on his way to doing so (he
has "potential"). For a woman, commitment to this type of man means
achieving this fantasy. So commitment often means that a woman
achieves her primary fantasy, while a man gives his up.
It's not true that men prefer foolish women. Rather they prefer women
who can simulate foolishness whenever necessary, which is the very
core of intelligence.

Love:
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women have a more subtle
instinct: What they like is to be a man's last romance. The only way
to understand a woman is to love her - and then it isn't necessary to
understand her. To women, love is an occupation. To men, a
preoccupation.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a
little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try
to understand her at all.

Marriage:
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man
marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. Men
marry because they are tired: woman because they are curious. Both
are disappointed. A woman worries about the future until she gets a
husband, while a man never worries about the future until he gets a
wife. A woman will always cherish the memory of the man who wanted to
marry her: a man, of the woman who he didn't. There are two times
when a man doesn't understand a woman - before marriage and after
marriage.

Husbands:
Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. One is to let
her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have
it. Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a
lot more willing to die.
Any married man should forget his mistakes - no use two people
remembering the same thing.

Wives:
Some husbands are living proof that a woman can take a joke. Husbands
are like cars: all are good the first year.

The Battle:
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after
that is the beginning of a new argument.

On Men:
If you women knew what we were thinking, you'd never stop slapping us.
Men are like animals, but they make great pets.

On Women:
Can you imagine a world without men?
No crime and lots of happy fat women. Women have two weapons -
cosmetics and tears. Women may be the only group that grows more
radical with age. God made man before woman to give him time to think
of an answer for her first question.

An Oldie But Goodie

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could 
hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting 
nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the 
water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday he took the monsignors advice. At the 
beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. 
He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the 
following note on the door:

1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.

2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as

8. Daddy, Junior and the Spook.

9. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.

10. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, 
don't say he was stoned off his ass.

11. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T"

12. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, 
"Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say 
"Eat me."

13. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry."

14. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub 
thanks for the grub, yeah God.

15. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at 
St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

bad joke

A cowboy walks into an empty bar and says, "Where is 
everybody?" Bartender replies, "Don't you know? They're 
hanging Brown Paper Pete today." "Why do they call him Brown 
Paper Pete?" the cowboy asks. "Well," the bartender replies, 
"He wears a brown paper hat and a brown paper shirt. Brown 
paper vest. Brown paper pants and brown paper boots." 
"What are they hanging him for?" "Rustling."

Tommy

Tommy goes into a confessional box and says, "Bless me father 
for I have sinned, I have been with a loose woman." 

The Priest says, "Is that you Tommy?" 

"Yes father, it is I." 

"Who was the woman you were with?" 

"I cannot tell you for I do not wish to sully her reputation." 

The priest asks, "Was it Brenda O'Malley?" 

"No father." 

"Was it Fiona MacDonald?" 

"No father." 

"Was it Ann Brown?" 

"No father, I cannot tell you."

The priest says, "I admire your perseverance but you must 
atone for your sins. Your penance will be five Our Fathers 
and four Hail Marys." 

Tommy goes back to his pew and his buddy Sean slides over 
and asks, "What happened?" 

Tommy replies, "I got five Our Fathers, four Hail Marys, 
and three good leads." 

An Absolutely True Finals Story

This past fall semester, at Duke University, there were two 
sophomores who were taking Organic Chemistry and who did 
pretty well on all of the quizzes and the midterms and labs, 
etc., such that going into the final they had a solid 'A'.

These two friends were so confident going into the final 
that the weekend before finals week, even though the Chem 
final was on Monday, they decided to go up to University of 
Virginia and party with some friends up there.

So they did this and had a great time. However, with their 
hangovers and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and 
didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. 
Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to 
find Professor Aldric after the final and explain to him 
why they missed the final.

They told him that they went up to UVA for the weekend, and 
had planned to come back in time to study, but that they had 
a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare and 
couldn't get help for a long time and so were late getting 
back to campus. Aldric thought this over and then agreed 
that they could make up the final on the following day. 
The two guys were elated and relieved.

So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the 
time that Aldric had told them. He placed them in separate 
rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them 
to begin.

They looked at the first problem, which was something simple 
about free radical formation and was worth 5 points. "Cool" 
they thought, "this is going to be easy." They did that 
problem and then turned the page.

They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page.

It said: (95 points) Which tire?

A shy gentleman

A shy gentleman was preparing to board a plane, when he 
heard that the Pope was on the same flight. "This is 
exciting," thought the gentleman. "I've always been a big 
fan of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person." 

Imagine his surprise when the Pope sat down in the seat 
next to him for the flight. Still, the gentleman was too 
shy to speak to the Pontiff.

Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword puzzle. 
"This is fantastic," thought the gentleman. "I'm really 
good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, 
he'll ask me for assistance." 

Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the gentleman and 
said, "Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word 
referring to a woman that ends in 'unt'?" 

Only one word leapt to mind... "My goodness," thought the 
gentleman, "I can't tell the Pope that. There must be 
another." The gentleman thought for quite a while, then 
it hit him. Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, "I 
think you're looking for the word 'aunt'." 

"Of course," said the Pope. "Do you have an eraser?"

The Bricklayer

This is a bricklayer's accident report that was printed in 
the newsletter of the English equivalent of the Workers' 
Compensation Board. This is this Bricklayer's report ... 
a true story.

Dear Sir; I am writing in response to your request for 
additional information in Block #3 of the accident 
reporting form. I put "Poor Planning" as the cause of my 
accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust 
the following details will be sufficient.

I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I 
was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. 
When I completed my work, I found I had some bricks left 
over which when weighed later were found to weigh 240 lbs. 
Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to 
lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which was attached 
to the side of the building at the sixth floor.

Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, 
swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I 
went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to insure 
a slow descent of the 240 lbs of bricks. You will note on 
the accident reporting form that my weight is 135 lbs.

Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so 
suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go 
of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate 
up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third 
floor, I met the barrel which was now proceeding downward 
at an equally impressive speed. This explains the fractured 
skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone, as listed 
in Section 3, accident reporting form.

Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not 
stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two 
knuckles deep into the pulley which I mentioned in Paragraph 
2 of this correspondence. Fortunately by this time I had 
regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly 
to the rope, in spite of the excruciating pain I was now 
beginning to experience.

At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of 
bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. 
Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel weighed 
approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight. As 
you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of 
the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the 
barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, 
broken tooth and severe lacerations of my legs and lower body.

Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with 
the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries 
when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only 
three vertebrae were cracked.

I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile 
of bricks, in pain, unable to move and watching the empty 
barrel six stories above me, I again lost my composure and 
presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there 
watching the empty barrel begin its journey back onto me.

A man and his date

A man, along with his extraordinarily beautiful date, walk 
into a very posh Rodeo Drive furrier. The man says to the 
shop owner, "Please show the lady your finest mink!"

So the owner of the shop goes in the back and comes out with 
an absolutely gorgeous full-length coat. As the lady tries 
it on, the furrier stands next to the man and discreetly 
whispers, "Ah, sir, that particular fur goes for $65,000."

"That's no problem, we'll take it!" said the man, "I'll 
just write you a check!"

"Very good, sir." said the shop owner. "But since today is 
Saturday, you'll have to come by on Monday to pick it up, 
after the check has cleared the bank."

So the man and the woman leave. On Monday, the fellow 
returns. The store owner is outraged: "How dare you show 
your face in here? There wasn't a single penny in your 
checking account!"

The man just grinned and said, "I'm sorry, but I just had 
to come by!" 

"Why Bother?" the steamed shop owner replied.

"I wanted to thank you for the most wonderful weekend 
of my life!"

reading a manual about sexual statistics. He asks her 
about it and she replies, "identifies that American

Pickle factory Bill

Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there 
for a number of years when he came home one day to confess 
to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an 
urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife 
suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about 
it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He 
vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own.

One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. 
His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong.

"What's wrong, Bill?" she asked. 

"Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous 
urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?" 

"Oh, Bill, you didn't." 

"Yes, I did." 

"My God, Bill, what happened?" 

"I got fired." 

"No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?"
 
"Oh...she got fired too."

Middle school principal

A principal of a small middle school had a problem with a 
few of the older girls starting to use lipstick. When 
applying it in the bathroom they would then press their 
lips to the mirror and leave lip prints.

Before it got out of hand he thought of a way to stop it. 
He gathered all the girls together that wore lipstick and 
told them he wanted to meet with them in the ladies room 
at 2pm. They gathered at 2pm and found the principal and 
the school custodian waiting for them.

The principal explained that it was becoming a problem for 
the custodian to clean the mirror every night. He said he 
felt the ladies did not fully understand just how much of 
a problem it was and he wanted them to witness just how 
hard it was to clean. The custodian then demonstrated. He 
took a long brush on a handle out of a box. He then dipped 
the brush in the nearest toilet, moved to the mirror and 
proceeded to remove the lipstick.

That was the last day the girls pressed their lips on 
the mirror.

Men bragging about dogs

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

To show off, the Engineer called to his dog. "T-square, do 
your stuff." T-square trotted over to a desk, took out some 
paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a 
triangle. 

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant 
said his dog could do better. He called his dog and said, 
"Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out into the 
kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them 
into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each. 

Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his dog 
could do better. He called his dog and said, "Measure, do 
your stuff." Measure got up, walked over 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. 

Everyone agreed that was good. Then the three men turned 
to the Government Worker and said, "What can your dog do?" 
The Government Worker called to his dog and said, "Coffee 
Break, do your stuff." Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate 
the cookies, drank the milk, shit on the paper, fucked the 
other three dogs, 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.

THESE ARE ACTUAL STATEMENTS GLEANED FROM SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL TEST PAPERS:

giant orgasm" (instead of organism). At the end of the 
student's essay, the teacher riposted, "Your answer gives 
new meaning to the Big Bang Theory."

peacefully until mankind came along and made roads, houses, 
hotels, and condoms.

Marie Curie did her research at the Sore Buns Institute

Plane joke

One night, a Delta twin-engine puddle jumper was flying 
somewhere above New Jersey. There were five people on board: 
the pilot, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, the Dali Lama, and 
a hippie. Suddenly, an illegal oxygen generator exploded 
loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin 
began to fill with smoke. The cockpit door opened, and the 
pilot burst into the compartment.

"Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The 
bad news is that we're about to crash in New Jersey. The 
good news is that there are four parachutes, and I have 
one of them!" With that, the pilot threw open the door 
and jumped from the plane.

Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he 
said, "I am the world's greatest athlete. The world needs 
great athletes. I think the world's greatest athlete should 
have a parachute!" With these words, he grabbed one of the 
remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and into 
the night.

Bill Gates rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am the world's 
smartest man. The world needs smart men. I think the world's 
smartest man should have a parachute, too." He grabbed one, 
and out he jumped. 

The Dali Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, 
the Dali Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a 
satisfying life and have known the bliss of True 
Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you; you take a 
parachute, and I will go down with the plane."

The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, pop. 
The world's smartest man just jumped out wearing my backpack."

MEN!!!!

How do you scare a man? Sneak up behind him and start 
throwing rice.

How is being at a singles bar different from going to the 
circus? At the circus, the clowns don't talk.

What makes men chase women they have no intention of 
marrying? The same urge that makes dogs chase cars they have 
no intention of driving.

What food describes most men? Jerky.

Men will brag that there are women waiting by the phone at 
this very moment for their call. Who are these women? Women 
working at 900 numbers.

How is a man like a used car? Both are easy to get, cheap 
and unreliable.

Where is the best place in a book store to find a man who 
is handsome, a good lover and a stimulating partner? In 
the pages of a romance novel.

What do you do with a man who thinks he's God's gift? 
Exchange him.

Why is the book "Women Who Love Too Much" a disappointment 
for many men? No phone numbers.

What's a man's idea of a perfect date? A woman who answers 
the door stark naked holding a six pack.

Why do men like smart women? Opposites attract. 

A bar joke

A mangy looking guy who goes into a bar and orders a drink. 
The bartender says: "No way. I don't think you can pay for it."

The guy says, "You're right. I don't have any money, but if 
I show you something you haven't seen before, will you give 
me a drink?"

The bartender says, "Only if what you show me ain't risque."

"Deal!" says the guy and reaches into his coat pocket and 
pulls out a hamster. He puts the hamster on the bar and it 
runs to the end of the bar, down the bar, across the room, 
up the piano, jumps on the key board and starts playing 
Gershwin songs. And the hamster is really good.

The bartender says, "You're right. I've never seen anything 
like that before. That hamster is truly good on the piano." 
The guy downs the drink and asks the bartender for another.

"Money or another miracle else no drink", says the bartender. 
The guy reaches into his coat again and pulls out a frog. 
He puts the frog on the bar, and the frog starts to sing. 
He has a marvelous voice and great pitch. A fine singer. A 
stranger from the other end of the bar runs over to the guy 
and offers him $300 for the frog.

The guy says "It's a deal." He takes the three hundred and 
gives the stranger the frog. The stranger runs out of the 
bar. The bartender says to the guy "Are you some kind of 
nut? You sold a singing frog for $300? It must have been 
worth millions. You must be crazy."

"Not so", says the guy. "The hamster is also a ventriloquist."

suddenly encounter a grizzly bear! The bear rears up on 
his hind legs and lets out a terrifying roar. They're both 
frozen in their tracks. The first camper whispers, "I'm sure 
glad I wore my running shoes today." "It doesn't matter what

"Jesus is watching you!" 

Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept 
forward again. 

"Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. 

The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. 
Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, 
he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. 

He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is 
watching me?" 

"Yes", said the parrot. 

The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then he asked 
the parrot: "What's your name?" 

"Clarence," said the bird. 

"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. 
"What idiot named you Clarence?"

Three contractors were touring the white house on the same

third from Florida.

At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did 
for a living. When they each replied that they were 
contractors the guard said "Hey, we need one of the rear 
fences redone. Why don't you guys look at it and give me a bid."

So to the back fence they went. First up was the Florida 
contractor. He took out his tape measure and pencil, did 
some measuring and said, "Well I figure the job will run 
about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 
profit for me."

Next was the Missouri contractor. He also took out his tape 
measure and pencil did some quick figuring and said, "Looks 
like I can do this job for $700. $300 for materials, $300 
for my crew, and $100 profit for me."

Then the guard asks the New York contractor how much. 
Without so much as moving the contractor says $2700. The 
guard, incredulous looks at him says "You didn't even 
measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such 
a high figure?" "Easy" says the contractor from New York, 
"$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you and we hire the guy from 
Missouri".

just for you." The man walks to the back of the store to get 
a dog and comes back with a little poodle. 

Harold says, "This small thing, a watch dog? You're kidding, 
right?" 

The employee says, "No, this dog is special; he knows 
karate." 

"Karate! I don't believe it," Harold says. 

The employee puts the dog down and says, "Karate the sign." 
And he points to a sign advertising dog food. The dog runs 
up and rips the sign to shreds. Harold is amazed at this. 

The employee then says, "Karate the chair." And he points to 
a chair in the corner. The dog runs up and rips the chair to 
shreds. 

By now Harold is convinced. "I'll take him," he says.

Harold says, "But this dog knows karate." 

"Karate," she yells. "Karate my foot!"

makeover with the money. She gets new clothes, a new 
hairdo, manicure, pedicure, the works, and tells the 
man, "I spent the money so I could look pretty for you 
because I love you so much." 

The second one went out and bought new golf clubs, a CD 
player, a television, and a stereo and gives them to the 
man. She says, "I bought these gifts for you with the 
money because I love you so much." 

The third one takes the $5000 and invests it in the stock 
market, doubles her investment, returns the $5000 to the 
man and reinvests the rest. She says, "I am investing the 
rest of the money for our future because I love you so much."

biggest tits. 

I like the way you're thinking...

Little James was sitting in class doing math problems when 
his teacher picked on him to answer a question.

"James," she said, "if there were five birds sitting on a 
fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?"

"None," replied James, "because I would shoot one and the 
rest would fly away."

"Well, the answer I was looking for is four," said the 
teacher, "but I like the way you are thinking."

Then Little James said, "I have a question for you now.

If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a 
shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting 
the cone and the third was sucking the cone, which one 
is married?"

The teacher blushed and answered meekly, "Well, I'm not 
sure. I guess the one sucking the cone..."

"No," said Little James, "the one with the wedding ring on 
her finger, but I like the way you are thinking!"

Empire State Building

A guy goes into a bar located at the top of the Empire State 
Building. It looks like a nice place, and he takes a seat 
at the bar. 

"This is a nice place. I've never been here before," he 
says to the guy next to him. 

"Oh, really?" the other guy replies. "It is a nice place. 
It's also a very special bar." 

"Why is that?" the first guy asks. 

"Well, do you see that painting on the far wall? That's an 
original Van Gogh, and this stool I'm sitting on was 
on the Titanic." 

"Gee, that's amazing!" says the first guy. 

"Not only that, but you see that window over there, fourth 
from the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside 
that window. If you jump out you'll fall about 50 feet 
before the wind catches you and you're pushed back up." 

"No way! That's impossible," the guy scoffs. 

"Not at all. Take a look," the other man replies, and 
with that he walks over to the window and opens it. He 
climbs over the sill and falls out. He drops 10... 20... 
30... 40... 50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh! He comes 
right back up and sails back through the window. 

"See? It's fun. You should try it," he says. 

"Try it?! I don't even believe I saw it!" the first 
man shouts. 

"It's easy. Watch, I'll do it again." And with that, he 
falls out the window again. He drops 10... 20... 30... 
40... 50 feet, comes to a stop, and whoosh! He comes right 
back up and sails back through the window. 

"Give it a try. It's a blast," he says. 

"Well what the heck, I'll give it a try," the first man 
says, and proceeds to fall out the window. He falls 
10... 20... 30... 40...50... 60...70...80... 90... 100 feet 
and Splat!! He ends up as road pizza on the sidewalk. 

After watching this, the second guy casually closes the 
window, heads back to the bar, and orders a drink. The 
bartender arrives with the drink and says, "You know 
Superman, you're a real jerk when you're drunk."

Parrots:

This lady approaches a priest and tells him, "Father, I 
have a problem. I have these two talking parrots, but they 
only know how to say one thing."

"What do they say?", the priest asked.

"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you 
want to have some fun?'."

"That's terrible!", the priest exclaimed. "I do have a 
solution to your problem. Bring your two talking female 
parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two 
male talking parrots whom I have taught to pray and read 
the Bible, then my parrots will teach your parrots to stop 
saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will 
learn to pray and worship."

"Thank you." said the lady.

So the next day, the lady brings her female parrots to 
the priest's house.

The priest's two male parrots are holding rosary beads 
and praying in their cage.

The lady put her female talking parrots in with the male 
talking parrots and the female parrots said, "Hi, we're 
prostitutes! Do you want to have some fun?"

One male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and 
screams, "Put your Bible away Frank, our prayers have 
been answered!"

Forrest Service Humor

This list is circulating among Forest Service employees. 
These are actual comments left last year on Forest Service 
registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers 
completing wilderness camping trips: 

"A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. 
Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call." 

"Escalators would help on steep uphill sections." 

"Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest 
Service needs to reduce worldwide population growth to 
limit the number of visitors to wilderness." 

"Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding 
hands." 

"Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking 
sticks are more likely to chase animals." 

"All the mile markers are missing this year." 

"Found a smouldering cigarette left by a horse." 

"Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building 
trails that go uphill." 

"Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. 
Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests." 

"Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow in 
the winter." 

"Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get 
to wonderful views without having to hike to them." 

"The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me 
awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals." 

"Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so 
people can hike at night with flashlights." 

"Need more signs to keep area pristine." 

"A McDonald's would be nice at the trailhead." 

"The places where trails do not exist are not well marked."

"Too many rocks in the mountains."

Baby delivery joke

A married couple went to the hospital together to have 
their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said 
he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion 
of the mother's labor pain to the father. He asked if they 
were willing to try it out. They were both very much in 
favor of it. 

The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, 
explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain 
than the father had ever experienced before. But as the 
labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he asked the 
doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then 
adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer. 

The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the 
husband's blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how 
well he was doing. At this, they decided to try for 50 percent. 

The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was 

obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged 
the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife 
delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and 
her husband were ecstatic. 

When they got home, the mailman was dead on their porch.

you think about that?" 

The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me

never missed a season. 


But one day went out in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally 
grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun." The doctor

Why did the chicken cross the road

Why Did The Chicken Cross the Road

establishment would let it take.

before.

chickens will be free to cross roads without having their

RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I

Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies 
whatever motive there was.

anyone ever think to ask, What the heck was this chicken doing walking 
around all over the place, anyway?" 

FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the 
chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. 

BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 
2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, 
file your important documents, and balance your chequebook. 
Of course, you also have to purchase Microsoft Road.
 
DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been 
naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically 
disposed to cross roads. 

EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved 
beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference. 

BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature. 

RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road .. it 
transcended it. 

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

to cross.

Sowing your wild Sod

Sowing Your Wild Sod

A kid gets a job in a small department store. On his first 
day, the manager shows the kid round, and explains that the 
company policy was to sell a product, with a product. The 
kid looked confused....so the manager said he would show him 
what he meant. 


Now, it just so happened that a customer approached the 
manager and asked if they sold grass seed. "Certainly", 
pointing to the wide range of seed boxes, "and what sort of 
lawn mower would you like?" 

The customer looked baffled, so 
the manager went on "Well, you will sow the grass, the grass 
will grow, and you will need a lawn mower to cut it." 

"I hadn't thought of that," says the customer, "I'll take 
the lawn mower as well then"....and the customer leaves the 
store happy. 

The manager then looks at the kid and says "Now do you 
understand our policy?" to which the kid replies "Yes...it's 
good!" Just then, a bloke walks into the store. 

The manager says to the kid "Go on, you can deal with this 
guy". 

So the kid asks the bloke if he can help. 

"Yes" replies the guy hesitantly, "Do you sell tampons, 
as I need some for my wife..." 


"Certainly", pointing to a shelf with tampons etc on it, 
"and what sort of lawn mower would you like?" 


The customer looked baffled and the manager's face drops, 
so the kid went on "Well, the weekend's fucked....you may 
as well cut the grass!"

up." So he did. 

Next day the boyfriend is driving in the buggy with the 
daughter. He said, "My nose is freezing cold." The daughter 
said "Put it between my legs, it will warm up." He did and 
his nose warmed up. 

The next day the boyfriend is driving again with the 
daughter and he said, "My penis is frozen solid." The 
daughter said "Put it between my legs, it will warm up." 

Later that week, the daughter is driving in the buggy with 
her mother. She says to her mother, "Have you ever heard of 
a penis?" Mother says "Sure why do you ask?" The daughter 
says, "Well, they just make one hell of a mess when they 
thaw out!!"

More stuff to fret about

Here are some things to to worry about when you've solved 
all your other problems...

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? 

Can fat people go skinny-dipping? 

Can you be a closet claustrophobic? 

Is it possible to be totally partial? 

If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success? 

If the funeral procession is at night, do folks drive with 
their lights off? 

If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? 

If the cops arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the 
right to remain silent? 

Do cemetery workers prefer the graveyard shift? 

What do you do when you see an endangered animal that eats 
only endangered plants? 

If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? 

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill 
himself, is it considered a hostage situation? 

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them 
would they still grow? Only to be troubled and insecure? 

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do 
"practice"? 

When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on 
their signs? 

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

HOW TO BE ANNOYING IN THE WORKPLACE

* Put a chair facing a printer, sit there all day and tell 
people you're waiting for your document. 

* Insist that your e-mail address be: 
"zena_goddess_of_fire@companyna me .com" 

* Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them to 
sign a waiver. 

* Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if 
they want fries with that. 

* Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.) 

* Come to work in your pajamas. 

* Put a picture of your mother on your business card. 

* Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same 
outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. 
(This is especially effective if your boss is a different 
gender than you are.) 

* Suggest that beer be put in the soda machine. 

* Agree to organize the company Christmas party. Hold it at 
McDonald's Playland. Charge everyone $15 each. 

* Send email to the rest of the company telling them what 
you're doing. For example "If anyone needs me I'll be in 
the bathroom." 

* Plant a hedge around your cubicle. 

* Put on your headphones whenever the boss comes into the 
office. Talk in a loud voice. Remove your headphones when 
he or she leaves. 

* Develop an unnatural fear of staplers. 

* Compose all your e-mail in rhyming couplets. 

* Install a set of buttons and lights in the arm of your 
chair. Talk into your daytimer. 

* "Hi-lite" your shoes. Tell people that you haven't lost 
your shoes since you did this. 

* Hang mistletoe over your desk. 

* Bring in dishes that you tried to cook but didn't turn 
out quite right as special treats for your co-workers. 

* While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in "Palmolive". 

* Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle. 

* Send e-mail messages saying free pizza, free donuts etc... 
in the lunchroom. When people complain that there was none... 
Just lean back, pat your stomach, and say, "Oh you've got 
to be faster than that." 

* Put decaf in the coffeemaker for 3 weeks. Once everyone 
has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

Airplane Joke

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial 
airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up 
so they can get under way. The pilot and copilot finally 
appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to 
the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be 
blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into 
passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle, 
and the copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes 
covered with huge sunglasses. 

At first the passengers do not react; thinking that it must 
be some sort of practical joke. After a few minutes the 
engines start revving and the airplane starts moving down 
the runway. The passengers look at each other with some 
uneasiness. They start whispering among themselves and 
look desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance. Then 
the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin 
panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane 
gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices 
are becoming more and more hysterical. When the airplane 
has less than 200 feet of runway left, there is a sudden 
change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at 
once. At the very last moment the airplane lifts off and 
is airborne.

Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief 
and tells the pilot: "You know, one of these days the 
passengers aren't going to scream, and we're gonna get killed!"

How to tell when you are spending too much time with your computer:

* You start introducing yourself as "lord at pacbell dot net" 

* Your wife drapes a wig over your monitor to remind you of 
what she looks like 

* You check your mail. It says "no new messages". So you 
check it again 

* Your phone bill is delivered in a box 

* You name your children Eudora, Mozilla, and Dotcom 

* All of your friends have an @ in their names 

* You tell the cab driver you live at 
http://123.elm.street/house/bluetrim.html 

* You tell the kids they can't use the computer because 
"Daddy's got work to do" and you don't have a job 

* You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with 
Netscape 3.01" 

* You never have to deal with the busy signals because 
you never log off 

* You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the 
chair in front of your computer with a toilet 

* You start tilting your head sideways whenever you smile :) 

* Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage, 
so you buy another computer and install another phone line 
so that the two of you can chat 

* As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain 
road, your first instinct is to search for the "back" button 

* Your computer goes down, you haven't logged in for two 
hours. You start to tremble. You pick up the phone and 
dial your Internet access number. You try to mimic computer 
noise in order to connect. You succeed.

POLICE OFFICER

A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was 
driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with 
its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks "I can 
outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on.

The cars are racing down the highway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles 
and hour.

Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures 
"what the heck," and gives up. He pulls over to the curb. 
The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches 
the car. He leans down and says "listen mister, I've had a 
really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a good
excuse and I'll let you go."

The man thought for a moment and said..."Three weeks ago, 
my wife ran off with a police officer. When I saw your 
cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought you were that 
officer and you were trying to give her back to me!"

The Officer let him go!

The bartender is thrilled and asks if he can make a wish 
and the guy says sure, so the bartender rubs the lantern, 
a genie comes out, and asks, "What is your wish?" 

The bartender says, "I wish I had a million bucks." In a 
flash, the bar is filled with ducks, packed floor to ceiling 
with must be a million squawking ducks.

Here are some highlights of ER admissions over the past year:

- A 28-year old male was brought into the ER after an 
attempted suicide. The man had swallowed several 
nitroglycerin pills and a fifth of vodka. When asked 
about the bruises about his head and chest he said that 
they were from him ramming himself into the wall in an 
attempt to make the nitroglycerin explode.

- A 50-year old woman came into the ER with a complaint 
of mild abdominal pain. During a pelvic exam the doctor 
found that the lady had inserted a whole chicken piece 
by piece into her vagina and then safety-pinned her labia 
shut. Unable to have children she was hoping that the 
chicken would turn into a baby.

- A man in his mid-fifties did a Loraina Bobbit on him 
self in a drunken rage and ended up in the ER. The 
urologist thought that he could reattach the mans genitalia 
if it could be recovered and if it was in good condition. 
The police were dispatched to the mans house and the search 
was on. During the search one of the officers heard a 
choking sound coming from the mans poodle that was sitting 
in the corner. After a brief fight the officer was able to 
retrieve the mans jewels from the dogs mouth. After 
inspection of the parts by the urologist it was decided 
that the man would need to be taught to pee while sitting 
(if you know what I mean) The officer was given a 
commendation from his precinct for medical assistance.

- A woman with shortness on breath and who weighted 
approximately 500 lbs was dragged into the ER on a tarp 
by six firemen. While trying to undress the lady an asthma 
inhaler fell out of one of the folds under her arm. After 
an X-ray showed a round mass on the left side of her chest 
her massive left breast was lifted to find a shiny new dime. 
And last but not least during a pelvic exam a TV remote 
control was discovered in on of the folds of her crotch. 
She became known as "The Human Couch".

- A doctor who spoke limited Spanish was rushed to a car 
in the ER parking lot to find a Spanish woman in the 
process of giving birth. Wanting to tell the woman to push 
he started yelling "Puta! Puta! Puta!" at this the 
grandmother started to cry and the babies father had to 
be restrained. What the doctor should have been saying was 
"Puja!" (Push!) Instead he was saying "Whore! Whore! Whore!"

- A 40-year old man and his wife were playing with some 
vegetables when a cucumber became lodged in his rectum. 
Unable to get it out on his own he showed up at the ER for 
some assistance. All he was given was some pain pills and 
KY jelly and told to wait and he would eventually poop it 
out. On his way out one of the nurses yelled "Come on back 
this afternoon. Were having a Butt- luck supper". 
(How embarrassing is that!)

- An unconscious 36-year old male was brought to the ER 
with cocaine induced seizures. As a nurse pulled back his 
foreskin to insert a catheter (a tube passed through the 
urethra and into the bladder) a neatly folded twenty dollar 
bill fell out of the foreskin fold. When the man woke up 
and demanded to leave the nurse gave him back his belongings 
and told him where she had found the money. His response: 
"It was a fifty, bitch!"

- An elderly woman came into the ER complaining: "I got the 
green vines in my virginny" (Interesting). A pelvic exam 
verifies that she does indeed have a six inch vine growing 
out of her vagina. Further inspection reveals that she has 
a mass in her vaginal vault. It is easily removed and looks 
very much like a potato. It is indeed a potato, the patient 
said that her uterus was falling out and that she "put a 
potato in there to hold it up" and then forgot about it.

- The most nonemergent ER visit: A male adolescent came in 
at 2 a.m. with a complaint of belly button lint.

- A young female came to the ER with lower abdominal pain. 
During the exam and questioning the female denied being 
sexually active. The doctor gave her a pregnancy test 
anyway and it came back positive. The doctor went back to 
the young female's room.

Doctor: "The results of your pregnancy test came back 
positive. Are you sure you're not sexually active?" 
Patient: "Sexually active? No, sir, I just lay there." 
Doctor: "I see. Well, do you know who the father is?" 
Patient: "No. Who?"

- A 92-year old woman had a full cardiac arrest at home 
and was rushed to the hospital. After about thirty minutes 
of unsuccessful resuscitation attempts the old lady was 
pronounced dead. The doctor went to tell the lady's 78-year 
old daughter that her mother didn't make it. "Didn't make 
it? Where could they be? She left in the ambulance 
forty-five minutes ago!"

- A 15-year old boy was laying on a stretcher with his 
mother sitting next to him. The boy was coming down from 
"crank" (methamphetamine) that he had injected into his 
veins with needles he had been sharing with his friends. 
Concerned about this the doctor asked the boy if there was 
anything he might have been doing that put him at risk for 
AIDS. The boy thought for a while then said questioningly 
"I've been fucking the dog?"

- A 19-year old female was asked why she was in the ER. 
She said that she and her boyfriend were having sex and the 
condom came off and she wasn't able to retrieve it with her 
fingers. She went to the bathroom and "gagged myself to 
vomit but couldn't vomit it up either."

to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking 
where the "Any" key is.

2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her 
mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover 
turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.

3. Another Compaq technician received a call from a man 
complaining that the system wouldn't read word processing 
files from his old diskettes. After trouble-shooting for 
magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was 
found that the customer labeled the diskettes then rolled 
them into the typewriter to type the labels.

4. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her 
defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from 
the customer along with Xeroxed copies of the floppies.

5. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled 
floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer 
asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone 
down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to 
his room.

6. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his 
computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of 
trouble-shooting, the technician discovered the man was 
trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of 
the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.

7. Another Dell customer needed help setting up a new 
program, so a Dell tech suggested he go to the local

customer replied. When told Egghead was a software store, 
the man said, "Oh, I thought you meant for me to find a 
couple of geeks."

8. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his 
keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up 
his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a 
day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually.

9. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who 
was enraged because his computer had told him he was "bad 
and an invalid". The tech explained that the computer's 
"bad command" and "invalid" responses shouldn't be 
taken personally.

10. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support 
couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After 
ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked 
her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her 
response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and 
nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the 
computer's mouse.

11. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her 
brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the 
unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting 
for something to happen. When asked what happened when she 
pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?"

12. True story from a Novell NetWire SysOp: Caller: "Hello, 
is this Tech Support?" Tech: "Yes, it is. How may I help 
you?" Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am 
within my warranty period. How do I go about gtting that 
fixed?" Tech: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" 
Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." 
Tech; "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's 
because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, 
at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it 
have any trademark on it?" Caller: "It came with my computer, 
I don't know anything about a promotional. It just 
has '4X' on it."

At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because 
he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load 
drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, 
and snapped it off the drive!

Crazy Neighbors

A group of country neighbors wanted to get together on a regular basis
and socialize. As a result, about 10 couples formed a dinner club and
agreed to meet for dinner at different neighbors' houses each month. Of course
the lady of the house was to prepare the meal.

When it came time for Jimmy and Susie Brown to have the dinner at
their house, like most women, Susie wanted to outdo all the others and
prepare a  meal that was the best that any of them had ever lapped a lip over. A
few days before the big event, Susie got out her cookbook and decided to
have mushroom smothered steak. When she went to the store to buy some
mushrooms, she found the price for a small can was more than she wanted to pay.
She then told her husband, "We aren't going to have mushrooms because they
are too expensive." He said, "Why don't you go down to the pasture and
pick some of those mushrooms?   There are plenty of them right in the creek
bed."

She said, "No, I don't want to do that, because I have heard that wild
mushrooms are poison."

He then said, "I don't think so. I see the varmints eating them all
the time and it never has affected them."

After thinking about this, Susie decided to give this a try and got in
the pickup and went down in the pasture and picked some. She brought the
wild mushrooms back home and washed them, sliced and diced them to get them
ready to go over her smothered steak. Then she went out on the back
porch and got Ol' Spot's (the yard dog) bowl and gave him a double handful.
She even put some bacon grease on them to make them tasty.
Ol' Spot didn't slow down until he had eaten every bite. All morning
long Susie watched him and the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him, so
she decided to use them.

The meal was a great success, and Susie even hired a lady from town to
come out and help her serve. She had on a white apron and a little cap on
her head. It was first class.

After everyone had finished, they all began to kick back and relax and
socialize. The men were visiting and the women started to gossip a
bit.

About this time the lady from town came in from the kitchen and
whispered in Susie's ear. She said, "Mrs. Brown, Spot just died."

With this news, Susie went into hysterics. After she finally calmed
down, she called the doctor and told him what had happened.

The doctor said, "It's bad, but I think we can take care of it. I will
call for an ambulance and I will be there as quick as I can get there. We
will pump out everyone's stomach and everything will be fine. Just keep
them all there and keep them calm."

It wasn't long until they could hear the wail of the siren as the
ambulance was coming down the road. When they got there, the EMTs got 
out with their suitcases and a stomach pump and the doctor arrived shortly
thereafter.

One by one they took each person into the master bedroom and pumped out
their stomach. After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and
said, "I think everything will be fine now", and he left.

They were all looking pretty peaked sitting around the living room,
and about this time the town lady came in and said, "Mrs Brown, you 
know that fellow that ran over Ol' Spot never even stopped."

America loves bar jokes

again. "What's going on here?" the man asks.Pointing to a neon sign, 
the bartender explains, "This is a Singles Bar." 

Priest joke

A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a rabbi all served as chaplains 
to the students of Northern University in Marquette. They would get 
together two or three times a week for coffee and talk shop. 

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really 
all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing 
led to another and they decided to do a seven-day experiment. They would 
all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to 
convert it. 

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience. 
Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches and has 
various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods 
to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the 
Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to 
slap me. So I quick grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, by the 
grace of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out 
next week to give him first communion and confirmation." 

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and 
both legs in casts and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone 
oratory voice, he proclaimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we 
don't sprinkle...WE DUNK! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And 
then I began to read to him from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted 
nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. 
We wrestle down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to 
a crick. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just 
like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the 
week in fellowship - feasting on God's Holy Word and praising Jesus." 

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He 
was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and 
out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, "Oy, You 
fellows don't know what trouble is until you try to circumcise one of 
those hairy buggers! 

Hair joke

Coming out from the hairdresser, a young woman sees a police officer 
writing a ticket. "Hey, give a girl a break." she says. The office 
responds, "just doing my job m'am." "You can't be serious, you slimy 
low-life." she adds as he's busy writing another ticket for worn tires. 
"You no good piece of meat" she shouts as she notices him writing yet 
another ticket for a missing wiper blade. As she walks away, the 
officer hears her quietly say "Thank God my car's parked around the 
corner!"
