Write your reply.

assistant: A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and
parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.
Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him
about where he got it.
He told them to piss off and let him get some sleep but they persisted
until finally he gave in. "OK, follow me," he said and flew out of the
cave with hundreds of bats behind him.
Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of
trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled
around him.
"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
"Good," said the first bat, "Because I sure as hell didn't!"

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

Write your reply.

assistant: A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he
hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the
source.
He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a
headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827.
Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being
played backward !Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend
to return with him.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This
time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being
played backward.
Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with
the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward.
The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse
order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.
By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the
grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played
backward.
Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.
Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
"Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously.

Write your reply.

assistant: Upon getting to work one morning, seventy-five year old Marvin is
reminded by his secretary that it's his wife's birthday today.
At lunch, Marvin goes to the local mall and tries to find a gift for her.
Unfortunately, he realizes that life has been good and she has everything
she needs.  Upon passing a lingerie store, Marvin realizes that his wife
has never bought any lingerie in her life. He gets the idea to buy his
wife something sexy to make her feel good and young Marvin goes into the
store and tells the clerk to wrap up the most expensive, sheerest
negligee she has.
 Marvin takes the gift and excitedly runs home to his wife.
  Upon finding her in the kitchen, he tells her to take the gift upstairs
and unwrap it.  He'll wait in the kitchen.
His wife thanks him and goes up to the bedroom.  Once the package is
opened, she realizes that this is something she's never had before.  She
also sees that it is so sheer it leaves nothing to the imagination.  She
thinks for a moment and then decides that she'll really surprise Marvin
and go downstairs without any clothes on at all.
So she leaves the negligee on the bed and starts down the stairs, stark
naked.
  She calls out, "Marvin, come out to the hallway and look."
  Marvin walks out to the staircase, looks up at his wife, and exclaims,
"All that damn money and they didn't even iron it."

assistant: Pundits tell us that Allah refrained from deducting from the allotted time
of man those hours spent in fishing. If Allah was in this right mind,
however, he'd deduct thirty years from the perpetrator of the following
mess of piscatorial puns:
The prettiest she-fish in the whole acquarium was Bess Porgy. Young John
Haddock's gills fluttered with supressed poisson every time she, and her
chubby friend, Mazie Anglefish, slithered down the pike. To kipper in
comfort was his consuming obsession.
Trouble loomed, however, when the two girls worked out a sister act and
opened at the Globe under the management of Salmon & Schuster. An
interested member of the audience was Rufus Goldfish who sat in the second
roe (he was slightly hard of herring) and viewed the performance with
sardinic smile. "Confidentially," he told a grouper friends later, "the
girls act smelt, but they're pretty cute tricks. I found the one who was
barracuda."
John Haddock's sole shriveled at these words. "Only an act of cod will keep
my Bess out of his clutches," he mutter shadly. Maxzie Anglefish tried to
rally him. "Don't be blue," she counseled. "You are no common weakfish. You
are a Haddock. Remember Dorothey Vernon of Haddock Hill. Get in there and
put that bass, sailfish old flounder trout!"
John squared what passes for shoulders in a fish. "Thanks, Mazie," he
spluttered. "By gum and bivalve, I'll get of this pickerel yet. If that
shrimp expects to mackerel have me to reckon with!"
Suiting the action to the words, he knocked off his rival off his perch so
effishently that poor Mr. Goldfish whaled for the carps - and a sturgeon to
get the bones out of his mouth.
"I did it on purpoise," cried the exultant John Haddock, clasping Bess, who
looked prettier than Marlin Dietrich, to his slippery chest.
It was all such a shark to Mr. Goldfish that he's been eel to this very day.
The Haddocks had a tarpon time of it ever after.

It was many years ago since the embarrassing day when a young woman,
with a baby in her arms, entered his butcher shop and confronted him
with the news that the baby was his, and what was he going to do about
it?
        Finally, he capitulated.  He promised to provide her with free
meat until the boy was 16. She agreed.
        He had been ticking the years off on his calendar and one day,
the teenager who had been collecting the meat each week, came in to the
shop and said: "I'll be sixteen tomorrow."
        "I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting
too, and tell your mother when you take this parcel of meat home that it
is the last free meat she will get, and watch the expression on her
face."
        When the boy arrived home he told his mother. The woman nodded
and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had free
bread, free milk and free groceries for the past 16 years and watch the
expression on his face!"

Achmed the Camel driver had piles of gold, which are just as
uncomfortable as any other kind. Piles are an occupational hazard for
Camel drivers and it was folk-lore tradition to treat the complaint by
shoving a handful of cold tea leaves up where the sun don't shine.
        Achmed did this ritual night and morning, but to no avail. So
when the Camel train eventually reached Cairo he took the opportunity to
see an English doctor.
        Dropping his drawers he bent over while the doctor spread his
cheeks apart and began to mutter to himself: "Hmm, yes, hmmm."
        "Something wrong?" asked Achmed.
        "No, quite the contrary," said the doc, "You are going to take a
long trip...you will meet a tall, dark romantic stranger..."
Yours sincerely,
