The Modern Version
The father answers: "Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway.
Your mum and I got together in a chat room at Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mum and we met up at cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, I upgraded my floppy disk to a stiffy and then your mum agreed to do a download from my hard drive.
As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later, a blessed little pop-up appeared and said:
"You have got a Male."

Is that you ...
So Bubba replies, "Well Coach, whenever I’m about to have sex, I always whip it out and bang it on the dresser like a hammer. This numbs it and I can screw’em forever!"
The coach went home early one day, and went to the bedroom. He heard his wife in the shower. Seeing a window of opportunity, he jerked off his clothes and started banging it on the dresser.
His wife stuck her head out of the shower and asked, "Is that you, Bubba?"

The Advantage of Walking
This enables you at 85 years old
to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at $7000 per month.
My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60..
Now he's 97 years old
and we don't know where he is.
I like long walks,
especially when they are taken
by people who annoy me.
The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
I have to walk early in the morning,
before my brain figures out what I'm doing..
I joined a health club last year,
spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there.
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
I do have flabby thighs,
but fortunately my stomach covers them.
The advantage of exercising every day
is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'
If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
start with a small country.
I know I got a lot of exercise
the last few years,.......
just getting over the hill.
We all get heavier as we get older,
because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
AND
Every time I start thinking too much
about how I look,
I just find a Happy Hour
and by the time I leave,
I look just fine.

I Tried That
- "What the hell’s the idea of putting your finger in my soup bowl?" the man bellowed at the waitress.
- "My doctor said the best thing for my rheumatism was to keep my finger pressed in a warm damp place," the waitress informed him.
- "Oh yeah," the man shouted, "then why don’t you take that finger of yours and shove it up your fat ass?"
- "I’m sorry sir the waitress replied, but I already tried that before I brought your soup out."

If men ruled the World...
Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed an
acceptable response to "I love you."
Hallmark would make "Sorry, what was your name again?" cards.
When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she´d appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a time-out.
Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the ass and a "Nice hustle, you´ll get ´em next time" would pretty much do it.
Birth control would come in ale or lager.
Each year, your raise would be pegged to the fortunes
of the NFL team of your choice.
The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO.
"Sorry I´m late, but I got really wasted last night" would be an acceptable excuse for tardiness.

you´d jump out your window and slide down the tail of
a brontosaurus and right into your car like Fred Flintstone.
Lifeguards could remove citizens from beaches for violating the "public ugliness" ordinance.

Valentine´s Day would be moved to February 29th so it
would only occur in leap years.
On Groundhog Day, if you saw your shadow, you´d get
the day off to go drinking. Mother´s Day, too. St. Patrick´s Day, however, would remain exactly the same. But it would be celebrated every month.
Regis and Kathie Lee would be chained to a cement mixer
and pushed off the Golden Gate Bridge for the most lucrative pay-per-view event in world history.
The victors in any athletic competition would get to
kill and eat the losers.

Monday Night Football from a Different Camera Angle.
It would be perfectly legal to steal a sports car, as
long as you returned it the following day with a full
tank of gas.
Every man would get four real Get Out of Jail Free cards per year.
When a cop gave you a ticket, every smart-aleck answer
you responded with would actually reduce your fine.
As in:
Cop: "You know how fast you were going?"
You: "All I know is, I was spilling my beer all over
the place."
Cop: "Nice one. That´s $10 off."
The Statue of Liberty would get a bright red, 40-foot
thong.

Priceless!
The Good Grandpa
Another outburst, and she hears Gramps calmly say, 'It's okay, Albert, just a couple more minutes and we'll be outta here -- hang in there.'
At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart, and Gramps again in a controlled voice is saying,'Albert, Albert, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, Albert.'
Very impressed, the woman goes outside where Gramps is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. 'You know, sir, it's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time, you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. Albert is very lucky to have you for his grandpa.'
'Thanks, lady,' said Gramps, 'But I'm Albert - the little shit's name is Johnny.'

Drafting Guys Over 60
New Direction for any war: Send Service Vets over 60!
I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.
For starters:
Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.
Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry'. We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.
If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.
Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.
Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone out run a bullet.
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.
These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.
Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.
If nothing else, put us on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night!
Share this with your senior friends. It's purposely in big type so they can read it.

Are you Kathlick?
couldn't get anyone to play with them.
They decided it was because they had not been
baptized and didn't go to Sunday School.
So they went to the nearest Church.
But, only the Janitor was there.
One little boy said, 'We need to be baptized because
no one will come out and play with us. Will you baptize us?'
'Sure,' said the Janitor. He took them into the bathroom and
dunked their little heads in the toilet bowl, one at a time.
Then He said, 'You are now baptized!'
Then they got outside, one of them asked, 'What religion do
you think we are?' The oldest one said, 'We're not Kathlick,
because they pour the water on you.' 'We're not Babtis,
because they dunk all of you in the water.' 'We're not Lutrans,
because they just sprinkle water on you.'
The littlest one said, 'Didn't you smell that water?!'
They all joined in asking, 'Yeah! What do you think that means?'
'I think it means we're Pisscopailians.

The Pope in Alaska
mountains of Alaska
for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the
campground in the Pope Mobile
when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the
woods.
A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a 'Save
the Whales' hat and a
'To Hell with Bush T-shirt,' was screaming while
struggling frantically and
thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of
a 10-foot grizzly.
As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican
loggers came racing up.
One quickly fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest.
The other two reached
up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from
the bear's grasp. Then
using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear
and two of them
threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other
tenderly placed the
injured Democrat in the back seat.
As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come
over. 'I give you
my blessing for your brave actions!' he told them.
'I heard there was a
bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic
environmental activists
but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not
true.'
As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies
'Who was that guy?
'It was the Pope,' another replied. 'He's
in direct contact with heaven and
has access to all wisdom.'
'Well,' the logger said, 'he may have access
to all wisdom but he doesn't
know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait
still alive, or do we
need to go back to Seattle and get another one?

Truck Accident
Look at the picture above and you can see where this driver
broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert,
where the people are standing on the road, pointing.
The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph from right to left
when it crashed through the guardrail.
It flipped end-over-end bounced off and across the culvert outlet,
and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert,
facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling.
The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger
were unhurt except for minor cuts and bruises.
Just outside Flagstaff , AZ on U.S. Hwy 100.

To my darling husband,
small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway...
Fortunately it's not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too
much about me.
I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I
accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake.
The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up, fortunately, came to a halt when
it bumped into your car.
I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will
forgive me.. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart.
I am enclosing a picture for you.
I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Choosing a Profession
An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects.
1. A Bible
2. A silver dollar
3. A bottle of whisky
4. A Playboy magazine
"I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself. "When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room.
The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired this month's centerfold.
"Lord have mercy," the old preacher muttered to himself disgustedly.
"He's gonna run for Congress."

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.
They are:
Tuesday = Green,
Thursday = Red
Friday = White
Saturday = Yellow.
So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.
Don't forget Gatorade for Migraine Headaches. PowerAde won't work.
