	A few days ago, some netter posted a lengthy list of answer
	machine messages. I missed it, and am in bad need of it.

	Can some rec.humor patronizer post it again or e-mail me at:

	Lots and lots of thanks.

A woman goes into a doctor's office, and as part of the examination,
she has her top off. Printed across her breasts is a large purple
"W". So the doctor says "If you don't mind me asking, how did you get
that 'W' on your breasts?". The woman replies "Well my boyfriend
goes to the University of Western Ontario, and every time we make
love he insists on wearing his University of Western Ontario
sweatshirt. Some of the dye must have transfered.".

The next day another woman was in the same doctors office for a
different examination, and as part of the examination she also has
her top off. Printed across her stomach is a large purple "W". So
the doctor says "If you don't mind me asking, how did you get that
'W' on your stomach?". The woman replies "Well my boyfriend goes
to the University of Waterloo, and every time we make love he
insists on wearing his University of Waterloo sweatshirt. Some of
the dye must have transfered.".

On the third day a third woman came into the doctor's office for
an examination. During the examination her top is off, and there
is a purple "W" on her breasts. The doctor says "Let me guess,
your boyfriend insists on wearing a University of Western
Ontario sweatshirt when you make love, and some of the dye
transfered to your breasts.". The woman replies "Well, your
close, actualy I have a girlfriend who goes to McMaster
University.".

With the elections around the corner, here are some Q & A type political
jokes that I made up :-

Q.  How many Republicans does it take to screw the economy?
A.  6, one to actually screw it up (Bush?), 4 to repeatedly accuse the
    democrats of doing so and 1 to explain the situation to Dan Quayle.

Q.  How many Democrats does it take to screw the economy?
A.  Doesn't matter; since the last 12 years, the Republicans have been
    doing so on their behalf.

Q.  How many Dan Quayles does it take to screw the economy?
A.  Its not clear yet.... so far 1 has succeeded in doing it so well
    that researchers/republicans are afraid to experiment with more than
    one.

Q.  How many George Bush does it take to screw the economy?
A.  None; remember, if the economy screws up, it's always the democrats
    fault.

Q.  How many Bill Clintons does/will it take to screw the economy?
A.  One....if elected.

Q.  How many Ross Perots does/will it take to screw the economy?
A.  One if he stays in the race ultimately; none if he withdraws.



Hope you don't take 'em personally as they were simply meant for humor.
If anyone has any other political jokes, please post it.....
