Subject: Several Jokes I picked up in High School
Date: 20 Nov 92 20:43:03 GMT
Organization: Lehigh University

This man goes to a Hechingers store in Rockville Md. to buy some bricks.  He shows the
archetect's schematic to the man behind the counter who promptly takes him to
a small fenced in enclosure behind the lumberyard where he picks out one
thousand of the best bricks he can find.  He tosses them in the back of his
pickup, buys some mortar and takes them home.  When he gets there he
accidently runs his car in to a ditch behind his house, the mortar and the
bricks get tossed in the air and by some odd coincidence of nature forms
exactly the deck he was planning to build except that one of the bricks was
missing.  He goes back to the store and tells the man he was one brick short
of the load.  The manager agrees and refuses to help him.


Why do dogs lick their balls?
    Because they can.

Two old men are walking down the street when they see this dog licking
himself.  One man turns to the other and says "Gee I wish I could do that."
His friend replys, you probably ought to pet him first"

In greece, how do you separate the men from the boys?
    Use a crow bar.

 This woman gets on a small plane for a quick flight from Washington to
 Baltimore with her small dog in tow and sits down in the last seat available
 next to a fat man with a cigar.  The woman is disgusted and turns to him
 midway in the flight to ask him to put it out.  He refuses and she became
 very upset, explaining that it is upsetting the dog.  She then threatens to
 throw the cigar out the window.  He still is adamant about keeping his stogie
 going and threatens her saying that he would toss the dog out the window.
 She then grabs the cigar and throws it out.  In retaliation he heaves the
 dog.  She his hysterical until they land at which time she sees the dog
 running down the runway towards her.  And what should it happen to have in
 its mouth? (Guess, then read on for the answer, what can I say, I like
 riddles.)

People- this is ridiculous.  Read those lines to yourself.  Try singing them.
There's some minimal rhyming, but is there any rhythm/meter?  No!
Is it worth continuing this silliness?  No!
For the record, the song (?) goes like this:  (two variations)

99 bottles of beer on the wall
99 bottles of beer 
Take one down, pass it around || If one of those bottles should happen to fall
98 bottles of beer on the wall
...

But "999,999,999 green bottles hanging on the wall"????  Pfff-bwah hahaha!
