A young boy came before a judge in a custody battle.
The  judge said "young man,  how do you feel about going to live with
your Mother?"
The  young man replied "your Honor,  I don't want  to  live  with  my
Mother. She beats me all of the time.
Well, the judge said "How would you like to go live with your father?"
The young man again replied "your Honor,  Idon't want to live with my
Father either, he beats me worse than my Mother.
The  judge responded,  "Well son,  who DO you want to live with?  You
have to live with someone."
The young man thought about it for a second and replied "I want to go
live with the New Zealand Cricket Team. They NEVER beat anybody!"

 II< Z
A  martian couple lands on an Pommy farm on earth.   The farmer comes
out and the martian asks the farmer if they can stay the night.   The
farmer says yes.   Later on, the martian asks if they can trade wives
for  the night.   Later that night, the martian and the farmer's wife
were  in the bedroom and when the wife saw the  martian  she  noticed
that he wasn't very big.   She told him and he said "Don't worry" and
he pulled on his right ear and he grew longer.  When he pulled on his
left ear it got thicker.  The next morning, when the farmer asked his
wife  how it was,  she said, "It was the best night of her life." She
then asked how his night was.   He said it was awful, all she did was
pull on his ears all night long.

assistant: A large, powerfully-built guy meets a woman at a bar, and after a number of
drinks, they agree to go back to his place.  As they are making out in the
bedroom, ready for the act, he stands up and starts to undress.
After he takes his shirt off, he flexes his muscular arms, and says, "See
that, baby? That's 1000 pounds of dynamite!"  She begins to drool.
The man drops his pants, strikes a bodybuilder's pose, and says, referring to
his bulging thighs, "See those, baby?  That's 1000 pounds of dynamite!"  She
is aching for action at this point.
Finally, he drops his underpants, and after a quick glance, she grabs her
purse and runs screaming to the front door. He catches her before she is able
to leave, and asks, "Why are you in such a hurry to go?"
She replies, "With 2000 pounds of dynamite, and such a short fuse, I was
afraid you were about to blow!"
Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on the field decided to steal
a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of
the plant and home.  When they took it for a float on the Stilliguamish
iver,
they were quite surprised by a coast guard helicopter homing in on the
emergency locator that is activated when the raft is inflated.  They are no
longer employed there.

user: You are replying to All about "Amish joke".

Write your reply.

assistant: An Amish man and his young son took their first trip into
the big city.
They walked into the foyer of a gleaming skyscraper and were
immediately taken by the two silver doors they spotted on
the far wall. The pair walked over and noticed that there
was a row of circles with numbers written on them above the
doors.
Almost immediately they had to make way for an old lady with a
walking stick who pressed a button on the wall. The silver
doors opened and the Amish man and his son were supprised to
see a small room in behind, into which the old lady hobbled.
They noticed then that a light came on behind the first number,
then the second and so on. Then the light stopped moving and
after a few seconds began to come down again.
It got to the first one and the doors opened. Out of the room
stepped a beautiful and buxom young lady wearing a mini skirt.
As she walked toward the main doors the Amish man stood looking
in astonishment at her, he turned, looked at son and said; "Son,
go and fetch your mother!"

user: You are replying to All about "Directions".

Write your reply.

assistant: There was once a couple named Nancy and Mike Tate, and it was
their life's dream to have a compass company. They finally
saved enough money and started the Tate's Compass Company.
Luck was with them, for the first contract they acquired was to
manufacture 750,000 compasses for the Boy Scouts.
Nancy and Mike worked feverishly day and night to meet their deadline,
and finished just before the Boy Scout Jamboree was to begin.
On the day of the Boy Scout Wilderness hike, each boy scout was given
a Tate's Compass to help them find their way.
Unfortunately, it was discovered a little too late that every single
compass was made with the colored point of the needle facing the wrong
way, so when one was facing North, the needle pointed to the South.
Needless to say, all of the boy scouts got lost and it was the biggest
fiasco known in Boy Scout history. The Tate's compass company went out
of business, but from this experience came the familiar adage:
 "He who has a Tate's is lost." (Say it out loud).

assistant: A group of clergy-men were at an interfaith meeting in an upscale
banquet room one day.
A waitress came around and asked one table if anyone would like a
cocktail.
The Episcopalian ordered a gin and tonic, The Methodist ordered
white-wine, and the televangelist ordered a Harvey Wallbanger.
The waitress turned to the Baptist minister, who was scowling at his
table-mates, and asked if he'd like a cocktail as well.
I would rather commit adultery than drink an alcoholic beverage,"
the Baptist minister roared!
The Televangelist perked up upon hearing this and said, "Oh!
I didn't realize that was an option. I'd like to change my order!"

shines it directly into the clocks face.  Then he says in a
menacing voice, "Ve haf vays of making you tock!"

assistant: One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out
to God:
- "Lord, I have a problem."
- "What's the problem, Adam?", God replies.
- "Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and
surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful
animals, but I'm just not happy."
- "Why is that, Adam?", comes the reply from the heavens.
- "Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely
food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely."
- "Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution.  I shall
create a 'woman' for you."
- "What's a 'woman', Lord?"
- "This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and
beautiful creature I have ever created.  She will be so intelligent
that she can figure out what you want before you want it.  She will
be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how
to make you happy.  Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and
earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire.
She will be the perfect companion for you.", replies the heavenly
voice.
- "Sounds great."
- "She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam."
- "How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?", Adam replies.
- "She'll cost you a leg, an arm, an ear and an eye."
- Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and
concern on his face. Finally Adam asks God,
"Uh, what can I get for a rib?"

assistant: The Chief Rabbi of Israel and the Pope are in a meeting in Rome.  The
Rabbi notices an unusually  fancy phone on a side table in the
Pope's private chambers.
     "What is that phone for?" he asks the pontiff.
     "It's my direct line to the Lord!"
The Rabbi is skeptical, and the Pope notices. The Holy Father
insists that the Rabbi trys it out, and, indeed, he is connected
to the Lord.
The Rabbi holds a lengthy discussion with Him.
After hanging up the Rabbi says. "Thank you very much. This is
great!
But listen, I want to pay for my phone charges."
The Pope, of course refuses, but the Rabbi is steadfast and
finally, the pontiff gives in.  He checks the counter on the
phone and says:
     "Allright!  The charges were 100,000 Lira."
The Chief Rabbi gladly hands over a packet of bills.  A few
months later, the Pope is in Jerusalem on an official visit.
In the Chief Rabbi's chambers he sees a phone identical to
his and learns it also is a direct line to the Lord.  The
Pope remembers he has an urgent matter that requires divine
consultation and asks if he can use the Rabbi's phone.
The Rabbi gladly agrees, hands him the phone, and the Pope
chats away.  After hanging up, the Pope offers to pay for
the phone charges.
The Rabbi looks on the phone counter and says: "1 Shekel 50!"
The Pope looks surprised: "Why so cheap!?!"
The Rabbi smiles: "Local call."

letter from this fantasy uncle.  I worked with this man eight

years, but I finally cured him.  And then that stupid letter

"Bring them along! And you, come with too!" he said
to the other man.
"But sir, I have a wife with six children!" The second
man answered.
"Bring them as well!"
They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task,
even for a car as large as the limo.  Once underway,
one of the poor fellows says "Sir, you are too kind.
Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The rich man replied  "No, you don't understand, the grass
at my home is about two feet high!"

assistant: A LARGE DOG walks into a butcher shop, carrying a purse in its mouth.
He puts the purse down and sits in front of the meat case. "What is it,
boy?" the butcher jokingly asks. "Want to buy some meat?"
    "Woof!" barkes the dog.
    "Hmmm..," says the butcher. "What kind? Liver, bacon, steak..."
    "Woof!" interrupts the dog.
    "And how much steak? Half a pound, one pound..."
    "Woof!.." signals the dog.
The amazed butcher wraps up the meat and finds the money in the dog's
purse. As the dog leaves, he decides to follow. The dog enters an
apartment house, climbs to the third floor, and begins scratching at
the door. WIth that, the door swings open and an angry man starts
yelling at the dog.
    "Stop!!" yells the butcher. "That dog is the most intelligent
animal I ever seen!"
    "Intelligent?" counters the man. "This is the third time this week
he's forgotten his keys!!!!"
