user: You are replying to All about "DRUNK AGAIN".

Write your reply.

assistant: A man walks into the front door of a bar. He is obviously drunk, and
staggers up to the bar, seats himself on a stool and, with a belch, asks
the bartender for a drink. The bartender politely informs the man that
it appears that he has already had plenty to drink, he could not be
served additional liquor at this bar, and could a cab be called for him?
The drunk is briefly surprised, then softly scoffs, grumbles, climbs
down off the bar stool and staggers out the front door. A few minutes
later, the same drunk stumbles in the SIDE door of the bar.  He wobbles
up to the bar and hollers for a drink. The bartender comes over and,
still politely - but more firmly, refuses service to the man due to his
inebriation, and again offers to call a cab. The drunk looks at the
bartender for a moment angrily, curses, and shows himself out the side
door, all the while grumbling and shaking his head.
A few minutes later, the same drunk bursts in through the BACK door of
the bar. He plops himself up on a bar stool, gathers his wits and
belligerently orders a drink. The bartender comes over and emphatically
reminds the man that he is clearly drunk, will be served no drinks, and
either a cab or the police will be called immediately.
The surprised drunk looks at the bartender, and in hopeless anguish,
cries "MAAAN! How many bars do you work at?

assistant: Two Digits for a Date
  (to the tune of "Gilligan's Island," more or less)
   Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
   Of the doom that is our fate.
   That started when programmers used
   Two digits for a date.
   Two digits for a date.
   Main memory was smaller then;
   Hard disks were smaller, too.
   "Four digits are extravagant,
   So let's get by with two.
   So let's get by with two."
   "This works through 1999,"
   The programmers did say.
   "Unless we rewrite before that
   It all will go away.
   It all will go away."
   But Management had not a clue:
   "It works fine now, you bet!
   A rewrite is a straight expense;
   We won't do it just yet.
   We won't do it just yet."
   Now when 2000 rolls around
   It all goes straight to hell,
   For zero is less than ninety-nine,
   As anyone can tell.
   As anyone can tell.
  The mail won't bring your pension check
   It won't be sent to you
   When you're no longer sixty-eight,
   But minus thirty-two.
   But minus thirty-two.
   The problems we're about to face
   Are frightening, it's for sure.
   And reading every line of code is
   The only certain cure.
   The only certain cure.
   There's not much time,
   There's too much code.
   (And Cobol-coders, few)
   When the century is finished with,
   We may be finished, too.
   We may be finished, too.
   Eight thousand years from now I hope
   That things weren't left too late,
   And people aren't then lamenting
   Four digits for a date.

Joe wasn't keen on having his tooth pulled out. In fact every time the
dentist tried to get the pliers near the tooth Joe would clamp his mouth
shut.
        The dentist whispered an instruction to his nurse, then got his
pliers ready and gave the nurse the nod.
        She took a firm grasp of Joe's balls and gave them a sharp
twist. When he let out a yell the dentist swiftly siezed the tooth and
yanked it out.
        "That wasn't so bad?" said the dentist.
        "No," said Joe. "But by Jeeze the roots went down a long way."

assistant: Hello Cheeky....
Old Fred had always feared the dentist and had delayed making a visit
until the last of his aching teeth forced the issue. The dentist took
one look and declared they all needed root canal work.
        "No way," protested the old man, "I am too much of a coward. I
can't stand pain."
        "Who said anything about pain. I am the painless dentist."
        But the old man could not be convinced.
        "Listen," said the dentist, "I did a multi-tooth replacement on
a rabbit trapper up north. He will vouch for me. Here, I'll phone him
now."
        The dentist dialed, then handed Fred the phone.
        "You don't know me," Fred began, "but I am in the office of
yourdentist. He told me he did a job on your teeth and it didn't hurt.
Is that true?"
        "Well, put it this way," said the gruff voice on the other end
of the phone. "I'm a rabbit trapper by trade. I was trudging through the
scrub a few days ago and I had a sudden urge to have a crap. I moved in
behind a bush, dropped my trousers and squatted down..."
        "Yes," said Fred, "but about your teeth..."
        "I'm getting to it. I was just abut to have this crap when my
foot trips the trigger of a rabbit trap I set on that exact spot a week
before. The steel jaws snap shut, right on my balls. I let out a scream
and try to make a mighty leap only to find the trap is on a very short
chain to the steel anchor peg. To get to the point, it was the first
time in months that my teeth didn't hurt."

A sailor stranded on a desert island for years had only a pig and an
Alsation for company. He formed a romantic attachment for the pig, and
rightly so, because Porky was female. But every time he tried to root
the pig the dog would snap at his heels.
        One day a beautiful blonde waded ashore. She was the answer to
his prayer. His problem was solved.
        She thanked him for the fresh food: "I owe my life to you," she
said, and noticing his tanned nude body and his rising endowment added,
"is there any way I can repay you?"
        The sailor got straight to the point with the vital question:
"Would ya mind taking the dog for a walk while I screw this pig?"

Seven survivors staggered ashore from the shipwreck, six women and a

the bloke for one night each and he could rest on Sundays. The bloke
agreed with relish, but as the weeks went on he realised what a physical
commitment he had undertaken.
        Then one day he spotted a raft with a lone figure paddling
toward the island. It was a man.
        Elated at finding unexpected help the bloke ran into the
shallows to help him ashore.
        The guy on the raft waved a handkerchief to him and said: "Oh,
Hello Big Boy!"
        "Oh shit," said the rescuer, "there goes my Sundays."

You included the blonde's guide to museums, so here's another little blonde
anecdote for yer amusement:
A Blonde goes into the store where a shiny object catches her eye.
"What is that," she asked the clerk.  "A thermos" he replies.
"What does it do?"  she asks.  "It keeps hot things hot, and cold
things cold " he replies again.
The next day she brings the thermos to work.  Her Blonde boss asks
"what is the shiny object?"
"A thermos" she replies.  "What does it do?"  She replies "it keeps
hot things hot and cold things cold".  "What do you have in it?"
TheBlonde replies "two cups of coffee and a popsicle."

Grandma, who was living with her daughter's family, let her 11-year-old
grandson in from school. "What did you learn today?" she asked.
"Sex education. All about penises and vaginas and intercourse and stuff," he
replied matter-of-factly.
The old woman was shocked and reported the conversation to her daughter. Her
daughter replied, "Mom, this is the Nineties. These days it's all part of the
curriculum."
A few hours later, the grandmother was reading, when her daughter announced
dinner was ready.  Grandmother walked past her grandson's bedroom and noticed
him on his bed, vigorously masturbating.  "Sonny," she said, "when you're

Jim was doing the crossword puzzle on the train to work.  As it

behind them.  After a while, the man leaned over to Jim.
"I see you are doing the cross word puzzle.  Did you happen to
get thirty-two across?"
"You mean the four letter word meaning 'intercourse' and
ending in 'k'?"
"Yeah, that's the one."
"Sure," Jim replied, "the answer is talk."
Behind him, one of the nuns said, "Excuse me, Sister Mary, but
would you pass the eraser?"
Later in the ride, the man asked his wiser neighbor, "What's forty-two
down, the four letter word ending in  u-n-t that means 'woman'?"
Jim replied, "Aunt."
Once again, the nun asked for the eraser...
