assistant: Dated: 04-27-98 (19:52) HEATHER LENNOX told a strange story To: GREG SEARS
that went something like .............
Where is the rest...... or at least the instuction book..... maybe a
walk through for this story Please!  #:-?
OBJoke:
 A zebra had died and went to heaven.  He was met by St. Peter at the
gates.   Curious, the zebra walked over to St.  Peter and asked "Am I
white  with black stripes or black with white  stripes?"  St.   Peter
looked  at the zebra,  and scratched his chin  "Hmmmm,"  he  said  "I
dunno.   I do have one answer for you though.   Set up an appointment
with  God and ask him." The zebra takes this advice and  sets  up  an
appointment with God. When the zebra arrives he says "God, am I white
with black stripes or black with white stripes?".   God said "You are
what you are." The zebra left,  confused. Later he saw St Peter again
and St. Peter asked what had happened. "Well," the zebra said, "I got
an  answer but I don't understand." "What did  God  say?"  asked  St.
Peter.  "He said you are what you are." replied the zebra.  St. Peter
exclaimed  " Well that means that you're white with  black  stripes!"
"How do you know?" the zebra asked.   "Because," St.  Peter said, "If
you  were black with white stripes,  God would have said 'You is what
you is.'" :)

1.  This is a special calendar for handling rush jobs.  All rush jobs
    are wanted yesterday. With this calendar a job can be ordered on
    the 7th and delivered on the 3rd.
2.  Most jobs are required by Friday, so there are three Fridays in
    every week.
3.  There are eight new days added to each month to allow for end-of-
    the-month panic jobs.
4.  There is no 1st of the month - thus avoiding late delivery of the
    previous month's last-minute panic jobs.
5.  Monday morning hangovers are abolished together with non-
    productive Saturdays and Sundays.
6.  A new day - Negotiation Day - has been introduced keeping  the
    other days free for uninterrupted panic.

A  canadian was traveling through saudi arabia on  vacation,  looking
for  exotic souvenirs to bring home,   when he saw an arab selling  a
strange breed of rooster. He walked up and said "I want to buy one of
those rooters,  Ahab" The arab said "ok, but we call them cocks here,
and  one more thing,  somtimes he get stubborn and  doesn't  want  to
move,  so just pull on him and he'll go". So the canadian went on his
way.   A couple of miles down the road,  he saw another arab  selling
donkeys.   He went up and said "I want to buy one of  those  donkeys,
Abdul"  the arab said "ok,  but we call them asses here, and one more
thing,  somtimes he gets stubborn and doesn't want to move,  so  just
scratch  him on the rear end,  and he'll go" So the canadian was once
again on his way, when a few miles down the road, both the rooter and
the donkey stopped and wouldn't move.   The canadian said to himself,
"well  shoot! I can't do both at once!"  just  about  then,  an  arab
riding  a camel was going by,  so the canadian flagged him  down  and
said,  "excuse me muhammed,  will you pull my cock while I scratch my
ass?"

assistant: Premature means before it's supposed to happen. If all the man cares about is
the actual climax itself, then sure, two minutes of action is wonderful. But
it's usually a case of the event happening even before the male is ready for
it, and as a consequence, is unsatisfying and unfulfilling for him. Premature
ejaculation is not the same thing as finishing quickly.

Answer to Question on Nudism
 In article <27164@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU> amorando@euler.berkeley.edu (David
Ashley) writes:
I would like to ask a question that has bothered me ever since I heard about
nude places like beaches, parks and whatnot.
 What if you are a guy and you get a hard on. Do you try and cover it up
(don't ask ME how) or does everyone just take it for granted and politely
ignore it? Or do nudists say that the problem never comes up due to
self-control?
 This is a common question among newcomers to nudist activities.  In
practice, it is nothing to worry about.  What usually happens is something
like this:
 You get an erection, somebody notices, points at you and yells, "Hey, look
at the hard-on on that guy" or, "Look at that guy trying to hide his
hard-on." Then everyone gathers around, pointing and laughing.  If you try
to run away, they all follow you.  People start taking pictures.
Eventually, some mesomorph/homophobe thinks he catches you looking at his
girlfriend/self and beats the hell out of you.  After this happens two or
three times, you get conditioned to always go limp when you see a naked
body.
 No problem.

 25 REASONS YOU LIKE MEN JUST THE WAY THEY ARE...
 1. They've got that comfortable place on their shoulder that's perfect for
    snuggling into while we fall asleep.
 2. They're at peace with their bodies, except for maybe some minor
    anxiety over height, baldness, and/or penis size.
 3. They're enthusiastic about our bodies, even when were not.
 4. They're beyond enthusiastic about sex.
 5. They fall in love so hard, once they finally fall.
 6. Chest hair, forearm hair and the feel of a newly shaved cheek.
 7. Bravery around snakes, waterbugs, bats and flat tires.
 8. Their unapologetic lust for a nice hunk of beef or chocolate cake.
 9. Their ability to solve problems simply by throwing a ball around.
10. The glimpse you get, when they wear their baseball cap backward, of
    their inner Little Leaguer.
11. How tender they get when they cry, and how seldom they do it.
12. Penises - we couldn't have designed them better ourselves.
13. What they lack in talk, they tend to make up for in action.
14. They make excellent companions when driving through rough
    neighborhoods or walking past dark alleys.
15. They really love their moms.
16. They remind us of our dads.
17. They dont mind accompanying a woman to a party even though she looks
    like a movie star and they look like the chauffeur.
18. Their near-endless appetite for discussing the ins and outs of work
    and money - ours as well as theirs.
19. Their genuine ardor for tinkering with toilets, changing oil and
    assembling gas grills - jobs any intelligent woman can do but would be
    nuts to volunteer for.
20. They never care what their horoscope says.
21. They rarely lie about their age, their weight or their clothing size.
22. How awestruck they are in the face of a Wonderbra or a homemade cookie.
23. How sexy their butts look in jeans.
24. How sexy their hands look in wedding rings.
25. How much they like us just the way we are.

The Daily Muse: The Back Page
Making you a BIG deal
The "historic" budget accord (sponsored by Honda) touted as "the be all to
end all" on both rear ends of Pennsylvania Ave. has all the makings of a big
giveaway...
Take the $500-per-child tax credit, for example. (Go ahead, take it. It's
yours. Go on. That's right. Feels good, doesn't it?) Seems like big
bucks--until you realize it'll only cover a couple of trips down the Toys 'R
Us disposable diaper aisle.
And the new capital-gains tax cut--long opposed by Democrats as charity for
fat, rich, cigar-chomping Republicans--is now going to make things "just
swell" for the economy, as Clinton Treasury Secretary Count N. Bills
so eloquently put it. Ah, how times change. (Speaking of which, can you
spare some?)
Topping it all off, of course, is the promise that the big deal will also
help wipe out the deficit just after our computers crash for good in the new
millennium and nobody will be able to tell us whether we're $5 trillion or
$1.50 in debt...
Which leads us to the conspiracy du jour (excuse our French): even though
the budget gap is narrowing all on its own, a few dedicated bureaucrats are
keeping it alive in the bowels of the Treasury building just so folks like
Bill Clinton and Pete Domenici don't lose their raison d'etre (Air France
Flight 2002 now departing Gate 3G...).
But the most striking image we'll remember of this (it's worth repeating)
"historic" occasion is the sight of a handful of remaining (read: still
standing) Republicans celebrating their victory on the Capitol steps flanked
by hundreds of Boy Scouts ("This merit badge was for keeping Dick Armey from
keeling over...").
We can't wait to get the check. (Yea, we know, it's in the mail...)

Jerry is hired to play his trumpet on the score of a movie, and he's
excited. He's especially thrilled because he gets to take two long
solos.
After the sessions, which go great, Jerry can't wait to see the
finished product. He asks the producer where and when he can catch the
film.
A little embarrassed, the producer explains that the music is for a
porno flick that will be out in a month, and he tells Jerry where he
can go to see it.
A month later, Jerry, with his collar up and wearing glasses, goes to
the theatre where the picture is playing. He walks in and sits way in
the back, next to an elderly couple who also seem to be disguised and
hiding.
The movie starts, and it's the filthiest, most perverse porno flick
ever...group sex, S&M, golden showers...and then, halfway through, a
dog gets in on the action.
Before anyone can blink an eye, the dog has had sex with all the women
in every orifice, and most of the men.
Embarrassed, Jerry turns to the old couple and whispers, "I'm only
here for the music."
The woman turns to Jerry and whispers back, "We're here to see our
