My Gods, you people are so anal that it is not even funny. I put on here last
night a thing that should of sparked some interest in what the "Smells Like
Nirvana" is like but no! You only say "Weird" AL is Awesome!!!
   I shall never post another thing on this humor list again, because of the
lack-of-humor-ass-wipes.

Joke 1:

I know a a guy who's half German and half Chinese. He opened a
restaurant last week. An hour after you eat there, you're hungry for
power.

Joke 2:

The German commandant of a WWII Stalag was noted for his viscious,
inhuman forms of torture. One hot, sweltering summer day, he told a
group of new prisoners: "You veel tell me all your seeecrets; until you
do, you must shtand in ze hot zun und move your head beck und forth
like zis, saying 'tick-tock, tick-tock'".

Well, all the new prisoners stood out there in the hot sun moving their
heads back and forth saying "tick-tock, tick-tock" and one by one they
started to drop. In the back row, however, was one cocky looking
American airman who looked fresh as a daisy, but he was just moving his
head to one side saying "tick, tick, tick".

Soon all of the soldiers had collapsed, except for the airman, moving
his head to one side saying "tick, tick, tick".

After several hours, the infuriated German commandant came outside
screaming at the airman, "You eeediot - don't you know ve heff vaze to
make you TOCK!!!!!"

     F(x,n)= -----.   This function always goes to 6.  How, you ask?
               n

           An n cancels on both sides, leaving F(x,n)=Six.

Are there any more of you perverts out there? (Who thinks numbers like 
this is really funny...)
Then send me a note and you'll recieve 49990 digits of pi.

Also available:
  100 digits of pi
  500 digits of pi
 1000 digits of pi
10000 digits of pi
   50 digits of pi binary
   50 digits of pi hexadecimally

(This wasn't funny, was it?)

Heard on MTV News:

"Bill's brother who who owns a band, Politics will be playing at the 
inaugeration if Bill Clinton gets elected.  Bill's brother will bring down
the house just like Bill Clinton will bring down the country."

GREAT!  He's gonna bring down the country.  Scary choice of words! :)

I don't remember Mike Tyson being in the commercials.  Perhaps you're thinking
of Bo Jackson?

This one may be old news to some, but I will tell it again because it works.

We left a message for our boss to return Mr. Lyon's phone call.  The number
that we put on the note was for the ZOO.  She calls the number and asks to 
speak to Mr. Lyon.  The person on the line has to convince her that someone
is playing a joke on her and that Mr. Lyon is really Mr. Lion.

She fell for this in a big way.  She has vowed pay back!
