Heard at a wedding on the weekend:

Three bulls on a farm hear that the farmer is getting a new bull.

The biggest bull snorts and says that the new bull is not going to get
any of his 100 cows.  The medium sized bull snorts in agreement and says
that the new bull is not going to get any of 50 cows.  The little bull
also agrees, and says that the new bull isn't going to get any of his 25
cows.

When the new bull shows up, the old bulls see that he is both huge and
mean.

The biggest bull says that the new bull is welcome to any or all of his
100 cows.  The medium bull says that the new bull is welcome to any or
all of his 50 cows.

The little bull is snorting and pawing up dirt, and looking pretty
fierce for such a small bull.  The big and medium bulls are amazed, and
ask what the heck he is doing.

Making sure he knows I'm a bull, replies the little bull.

The word 'zero' is Arabic, not Indian.  It is possible the the concept was
conceived of elsewhere, but the currently popular flavor of history doesn't
agree with you.

The sign can be confusing to oceanographers as well (except perhaps those
residing in or near the town of Westerly, RI).  As far as I know, there is
no corresponding town in RI called Easterly to confuse those approaching 
from the MA side of the state (meteorologists and oceanographers from MIT
or WHOI?)

Subject: Scottish Joke

***this is best told if spoken with a Scottish accent when appropriate***

A Scottish man visiting America for the first time gets off the plane and
immediately search for the nearest tavern.
He is dressed in a traditional Scottish kilt and beret.
He parks his rented car at the first tavern he sees and goes in and get drunk
very quickly. Realizing how drunk he is he decides he had better go find his
hotel. As he reaches his car and opens the door he passes out across the seat.

A short time later a young woman walking by notices him passed out in his
traditional scottish attire. She remembers she heard once the Scotts in kilts
do not wear underwear and is now very curious. She approached the car and sees
he is passed out. She is still very curious. She approaches the Scott and
quickly lifts his kilt to see that traditional Scotts in fact do not wear
underwear. She now feels a little guilty about her actions and decides to
make it up the Scott somehow. A moment later she takes the blue ribbon in her
hair and ties it around his cock and then leaves.

In the morning the greatly hungover Scott crawls to his feet and sees he is
still in his car. He has to piss ferociously and goes to a nearby alley. As he
lifts his kilt he sees the blue ribbon and says. "Aye, I don't know where you
been last night, but I'm glad you won the Blue Ribbon."

Subject: Unlucky Car Thief
Organization: Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Inc.
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 92 16:40:33 GMT

A couple of months ago a friend of mine loaned his car to his sister.
She used it to drive to a friends house, locking it upon getting out.
While inside, someone broke a window, found the stashed key and drove
off. Upon leaving her friends place, the sister found the car gone,
called the police then her brother to tell him what had happened.
The next morning, the sister borrowed yet another car to drive around
the neighborhood to see if she could find any trace of the car (the police
had no luck yet). She actually found the car with the window broken
and the radio missing but looking otherwise okay. She went to a nearby
phonebooth to call the police, they said they'd have someone over shortly.
The sister then returned to the stolen car (to watch out for the thief)
and waited... and waited... and waited... for about 3 hours. She finally
tired of waiting for the police to show up so she called a tow truck to
take the car to a service station. She then called the police back to
let them know... she was harrassed(|) for doing so but they decided to
let her go (this time?|?).

Reason car left abandoned near where it was stolen... OUT OF GAS|
The sister was supposed to put gas in but had planned on doing it
on her way home.

(OK, so it's not side-slapping funny, but it is a little amusing,
 and it is TRUE|)

I don't want to seem like I'm nit-picking, but shouldn't this be "small
numbered latitude (say 0 - 23 or so)"?  I think it would be really

the sun rising in the northeast, don't you?

How about a blonde in her 40s with 2 pounds of make up driving 
a red nissan 300Z with a license plate that reads: Z BABY
(I just saw it this morning)

At UT, tour guides showing the campus often take people past the Hogg
building.  The story goes that he had two daughters whose names were
Ima and Eura.  This is probably just a rumor, but it is funny to tell
it anyway.

This next story is true.  My father used to work with a man whoes last
name was Bates.  He grew up in a very wealthy family and the butler always
called him Master Bates.  Needless to say he got an awful lot of teasing
growing up.
