Experience is K No wledge
Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to
each other outside the operating room.
The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?"
The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out, and
I'm a little nervous."
The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had
that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when
you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream.
It's a breeze!"
The second kid then asks "What are you here for?" The first
kid says, "A circumcision." The second kid says, "Whoa!
I had that done when I was born. Couldn't walk for a year!"

Almost a Jewish Joke...
A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He
mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome?
Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded & dirty
and full of Italians. You're crazy to go to Rome...So,how
are you getting there?"
"We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline.
Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and
they're always late...So, where are you staying in Rome?"
"We'll be at the downtown International Marriott."
"That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms
are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced.
So, whatcha doing when you get there?"
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see
the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other
people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy,
good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut.
The barber asked him about his trip to Rome. "It was wonderful,"
explained the man, "not only were we on time in one of TWA's
brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us
up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a
beautiful 28-year-old stewardess who waited on me hand and
foot. And the hotel--it was great! They'd just finished a $25
million remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the city.
They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us
the presidential suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get to see the
pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican,
a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that
the pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if
I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait the pope
would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later
the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt
down as he spoke a few words to me."
"Really?" asked the Barber. "What'd he say?"
He said, "Where'd you get the terrible haircut?"

Respect for our Presidented
A Marine colonel, on his way home from work at the Pentagon
came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this
traffic seems worse than usual. Nothing's moving." He notices
a police officer walking back and forth between the lines of cars,
so he rolls down his window and asks, "Officer, what's the holdup?"
The officer replies, "The President is just so depressed about
the thought of moving with Hillary to New York that he stopped
his motorcade in the middle of the beltway and he's threatening
to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says
his family hates him and he doesn't have the money to pay for
the new house. I'm walking around taking up a collection for him.
"Oh really? How much have you collected so far?
"So far about three hundred gallons, but a lot of folks are still
siphoning."

It's NOT funny, It's TRUE!
One day, the younger of the two older ladies, turns to the other and
says, "Please don't be angry with me dear, but I am
embarrassed. After all these years, what is your name? I am trying to
remember, but I just can't."
The older friend stares at her, looking very distressed, says nothing
for two full minutes, and finally with tearful eyes, says,
"How soon do you have to know?"

Harry, the fiddle and his Dog...
Little Harold was practicing the violin in the living room while his
father was trying to read in the den. The family dog was lying in
the den, and as the screeching sounds of little Harold's violin
reached his ears, he began to howl loudly.
The father listened to the dog and the violin as long as he could.
Then he jumped up, slammed his paper to the floor and yelled above
the noise, "For Pete's sake, can't you play something the dog
doesn't know?!"

Giving Praise
My grandmother, who lived in Tucson, was well-known for her faith and lack
of reticence in talking about it. She would go out on the front porch and
say, "Praise the Lord!"
Her next door neighbor would shout back, "There ain't no Lord!"
During those days, my grandmother was very poor, so the neighbor decided
to prove his point by buying a large bag of groceries and placing it at
her door.
The next morning, Grandmother went to the porch and, seeing the groceries,
said, "Praise the Lord!"
The neighbor stepped out from behind a tree and said, "I bought those
groceries, and there ain't no Lord."
Grandmother replied, "Lord, you not only sent me food but you made the
devil pay for it."

Miccrosoft vrs. GM
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates
reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated
"if GM had kept up with
the technology like the computer industry has, we
would all be driving
$25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors
issued a press release
stating: If GM had developed technology like
Microsoft, we would all be
driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash
twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road,
you would have to buy a
new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway
for no reason. You would
have to pull over to the side of the road, close all
of the windows, shut
off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows
before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply
accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a
left turn would cause your
car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which
case you would have to
reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car
unless you bought "CarNT",
but then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by
the sun, was reliable,
five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but
would only run on five
percent of the roads.
7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator
warning lights would all be
replaced by a single "General Protection Fault"
warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same
sized butt.
9. The airbag system would ask "are you sure?"
before deploying.
10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your
car would lock you out and
refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted
the door handle, turned
the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to also
purchase a deluxe set of Rand
McNally road maps (Now a GM subsidiary), even though
they neither need nor
want them. Attempting to delete this option would
immediately cause the
cars performance to diminish by 50% or more.
Moreover, GM would become a
target for investigation by the Justice Dept.
12. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers
would have to learn to
drive all over again because none of the controls
would operate it the same
X-Mozilla-Status: 0009
13. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn
the engine off. (My
personal favorite)
