Morris and his Blonde Wife Sherry

Morris and his blonde wife Sherry live in Chicago. One winter morning while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 3 to 4 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Morris' wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 4 to 5 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Morris' wife Sherry goes out and moves her car again.

The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches blizzard of snow today. You must park...", then the electric power goes out....and the radio goes dead.

Sherry says, "Morris honey, I don't know what to do now."

Morris says, "Why don't you just leave your car in our heated garage this time?"

On the Course, of Course

(If you don't like golf, feel free to "play through" these and go to the
next one)

The golfer and the caddy

Golfer: "I think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."
Caddy: "Think you can keep your head down that long?"

Golfer: "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course."
Caddy: "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth."

Golfer: "Do you think my game is improving?"
Caddy: "Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now."

Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"
Caddy: "Eventually."

Golfer: "You've got to be the worst caddy in the world."
Caddy: "I don't think so ma'am. That would be too much of a
coincidence."

Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's
too much of a distraction."
Caddy: "It's not a watch - it's a compass."

Golfer: "How do you like my game?"
Caddy: "Very good ma'am, but personally, I prefer golf."

Golfer: "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?"
Caddy: "The way you play, Ma'am, it's a sin on any day."

Golfer: "This is the worst course I've ever played on."
Caddy: "This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago."

Golfer: "That can't be my ball, it's too old."
Caddy: "It's been a long time since we teed off, Ma'am."

A Good 'un

An Arab diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department. The Grand Emir was not used to the salt in American foods (French fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies etc.) and was constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a glass of water.

Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water, but then came the time when he returned empty handed.

"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded the Grand Emir.

"A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul, "A man is sitting on the well."

How to make great kebabs

Two Arabs, Abdul and Mustapha, have competing restaurants next door to each other in downtown Gaza.

Naturally, they both specialize in kebabs.

Abdul's establishment is highly successful with long queues of customers who can't get enough of his kebabs.

On the other hand, Mustapha's business is struggling badly. On the rare occasion a customer ventures in for a kebab he never comes back a second time.

Mustapha is despairing that he can't make a living. But he has a bright idea.

He arranges for his cousin Hussein to take a job in the kitchen of Abdul's restaurant, his mission - to find out the ingredients that go into these highly popular kebabs.

After a week, Hussein returns to his cousin declaring triumphantly that he has the information.

"Well, out with it already,what does he put in those kebabs?" asks Abdul.

"I'll tell you", replies Mustapha, "it's 50% camel dung and 50% meat!"

"Aha!" shrieks Abdul, "so that's his secret,....he adds meat!"

Dress for Success

An Arab was walking through the Pakistan desert, desperate for water, when he saw something, far off in the distance.

Hoping to find water, he walked towards image, only to find a little old Jewish man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out on it.

The Arab asked, "Please, I'm dying of thirst, can I have some water?"

The man replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your robes."

The Arab shouted, "I don't want a tie, you Jewish idiot, I need water!"

"OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll tell you that over that hill there, about 8 miles, is a nice restaurant. Walk that way,...look for Sam's Shack, they'll give you all the water you want."

The Arab thanked him and walked away toward the hill and eventually disappeared.

Three hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the man was sitting behind his card table with the tie display.

He said, "I told you, about 8 miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?"

The Arab rasped, "I found it all right. But your brother Sam wouldn't let me in without a tie."

Dr. Seuss meets the Computer

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
then you may as well reboot, and go out with a bang,
because as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
then you have to flash your memory, and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom.

The Best for Last

There was this fellow who worked in a post office whose job it was to process all mail that had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting to G-d. He thought, "Oh boy, better open this one and see what it's all about." So he opened it and read,

"Dear G-d, I am an 83 year old widow living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had a 100 dollars in it which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Passover, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner who also don't have enough money to make a nice meal. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?"

The postal worker was touched, and went around showing the letter to all the others. Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected 96 dollars, which they put into an envelope and sent over to her. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of the nice thing they had done.

Passover came and went, and a few days later came another letter from the old lady to G-d. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read, "Dear G-d, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your generosity, I was able to fix a lovely dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was 4 dollars missing. It was probably those thieving bastards at the post office.
