Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves. The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: "Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!" The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, "Got any nails?" Confused, the bartender says no.

You have always been an idiot. You'll always be an idiot. If they had an idiot contest, you'd come in second." "Why would I come in second?" her husband asked.

The priest tells her that her secret is safe in the sanctity of the confessional. She says, "Father, I never wear panties under my habit."

The new priest hears several confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions. The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest and rub your chin with one hand." The new priest tries this. The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on, and I understand, how did you feel about that?" The new priest says those things, trying them out. The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping your knee and saying, 'No way!

Rushing to his side, we found him crying hysterically! He had accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking could change his mind. Desperate to calm him, my husband palmed a penny that he happened to have in his pocket, and pretended to pull it from Billy's ear. Billy was delighted! In a flash, he snatched it from my husband’s hand, swallowed it and demanded cheerfully, "Do it again, Daddy!" -------- A West Virginia state trooper, stopped a woman for going 15 miles over the speed limit. After he handed her a ticket, she asked him, "Don't you give out warnings?" "Yes, ma'am," he replied. "They're all up and down the road. They say, 'Speed Limit 55.'" -------- A torrential rainstorm was knocking down power lines all over town. That meant, as a customer service rep for the electric company, I was dispatching repairmen right and left.

The shop owner suggests a faithful dog. The man replies, "Come on, a dog?" The owner says, "How about a cat?" The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I want a pet that can do everything!" The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it! A centipede!" The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede doing everything, but okay... I'll try a centipede." He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean the kitchen." Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and... it's immaculate! All the dishes and silverware have been washed, dried, and put away the counter-tops cleaned the appliances sparkling the floor waxed. He's absolutely amazed. He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living room." Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The carpet has been vacuumed the furniture cleaned and dusted the pillows on the sofa plumped, plants watered. The man thinks to himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This really is a pet that can do everything!" Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and get me a newspaper." The centipede walks out the door. 10 minutes later... no centipede. 20 minutes later... no centipede. 30 minutes later... no centipede. By this point the man is wondering what's going on. The centipede should have been back in a couple of minutes. 45 minutes later... still no centipede! He can't imagine what could have happened. Did the centipede run away? Did it get run over by a car? Where is that centipede? So he goes to the front door, opens it... and there's the centipede sitting right outside. The man says, "Hey!!! I sent you down to the corner store 45 minutes ago to get me a newspaper. What's the matter?!" The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'!

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called ...his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair. --- ...LOL!

Merrill police said that they have arrested 22-year-old Dylan VanCamp, after being accused of torturing his girl- friend numerous times over a period of several months. VanCamp was charged with suffocation, battery, and stalking. If convicted, VanCamp faces up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. According to the police investigation, a month into their relationship, VanCamp began torturing his girlfriend after he caught her speaking with another man on Facebook. The woman told police that she was unable to breathe and felt as if she was drowning. The jealous boyfriend then dragged his girlfriend to the bedroom, punched her in the head and pulled a knife on her. It is not reported whether she will wait for him while he serves his prison sentence. -<>- You wouldn't think lip balm is essential military equipment, but if you are stationed at the Elmendorf-Richardson Joint Air Force base in the frigid climes of Anchorage, Alaska, you are gonna need that lip balm. But NOT if it has pot in it! An email sent to members of the base read... "It has come to our attention that approximately 400 "SAPR Lip Balm" promotional items which contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) have been distributed throughout the installation. The S Assault Response Coordinator office has ceased distribution of the lip balm items and requests that you dispose this product, if you received one of these items." Well, of course. The last thing we want our flyboys and jet mechanics seeing are Aztec pyramids floating in the sky and holes in space and time. But how did pot-laced lip balm get onto a military base in the first place? Well, the email also stated that the presence of hemp seed oil was responsible for the THC and the levels were not significant enough to register on a drug test; however, a certain guideline prohibits the use of hemp seed products. So in other words, you as the tax-payer paid for a product that has a chemically insignificant trace amount of an all- natural product, and then you paid to have it all thrown away because of a line of text in some bureaucratic footnote, despite the fact that the hemp seed oil would have no effect whatsoever (other than making lips soft and supple). But the real twist in this story is who was distributing the product. Why is the S Assault Response Coordinator office distributing lip balm in the first place? Does lip balm provide some protection from S assault that I don't know about? *--------------- Space Makes you Grow ---------------* If you think the weight of the world is bringing you down, you're right. Astronaut Scott Kelly recently arrived in Houston after a year in space. One of the more unusual side effects of his record-breaking mission is that the 25-year-old astronaut actually grew. Kelly has a twin brother and before the space mission the two were the exact same height -- but not anymore. Kelly grew 2 inches during his time aboard the International Space Station. NASA spokesman Jeff Williams said, "Astronauts get taller in space as the spine elongates, but they return to preflight height after a short time back on Earth." *--- Man convicted of Stabbing Neighbor Over Birds ---* CAMDEN, N.J. - A southern New Jersey man has been found guilty of stabbing his downstairs neighbor to death in a dispute over pet birds. Camden County prosecutors say 65-year-old David Giordano was convicted of aggravated manslaughter in the slaying of 52-year-old Michael Taylor. The Voorhees Township man had been Taylor's upstairs neighbor. Prosecutors say Giordano poured water on Taylor's pet birds because they were chirping too loudly. The birds had been kept on Taylor's porch. Giordano then repeatedly stabbed Taylor with a knife when Taylor confronted him. Taylor died from his injuries at a hospital nearly three weeks later. Giordano faces 15 to 30 years in state prison. *-- Driver in police chase revealed as 13-year-old taking 8-year-old sister on joyride --* CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Police in Michigan said a 13-year-old boy loaded his 8-year-old sister into a car and took her on a joyride that ended with a police chase. The Macomb County Sheriff's Office said a deputy investigating a report of a black Nissan Altima driving erratically Saturday night spotted the vehicle stopped at a red light about 11:30 p.m. in Clinton Township. The deputy turned on his lights, and the car pulled over, but it sped off after a few seconds and made it a short distance before the driver lost control, and the car spun out across the grassy median and into the eastbound lanes of Metropolitan Parkway. Two children, identified as the 13-year-old driver and his 8-year-old sister, then got out of the vehicle and fled on foot. Deputies chased down the children with help from Clinton Township police and determined the boy had been driving with the girl in the front passenger's seat. The girl was released to her mother, while the boy, who police said they knew from previous incidents, was detained at the Macomb Juvenile Justice Center. Police said the car belonged to the girlfriend of the children's father. *-- Tip jar thief got $6.77 after paying $9.82 for meal he left behind --* CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand - The owner of a New Zealand restaurant said a man who stole a tip jar containing $6.77 forgot to take his food, which he had already purchased for $9.82. Security camera footage posted to Facebook by Nando's Riccarton restaurant in Christchurch shows the man putting the tip jar which contained about $6.77 -- 10 in New Zealand dollars -- in his bag. The suspect was confronted by owner Yateen Lallu after the man spent a few moments in the bathroom before the empty tip jar was discovered on the restroom floor. "I said to him 'there's our tip jar', and he said 'it wasn't me, it must have been someone else'. I said 'are you sure? Are you telling the truth?' And he told me to check his bag and check the security cameras and I started to doubt myself," Lallu told Stuff.co.nz. He said the man fled while he was reviewing security footage. Lallu said the man's crime didn't turn any profit -- he had already paid $9.82, 14.50 New Zealand dollars, for a meal that he left behind. "So it wasn't worth it, he had a bad day. It was not good karma for the poor bloke," Lallu said. Police said they are looking into whether the man in the CCTV footage is the same man caught on camera in November stealing security cameras from the Casa Dei Bambini preschool in Richmond. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: Murphy says: Never argue with a fool, people may not know the difference... _, ^(o.).__. / , o o) / `u-u',._/ ( _\ \ `|-| ----`.__)------| |------- `-' Ojo98 A man goes to the doctor with a swollen foot.

His descendants are with us even today, passing for full-blooded Homo sapiens. If you suspect a "touch of the old hand ax" in your ancestry, score yourself on this test: 1. Do your eyebrows meet in the middle? If so, give yourself five points. 2. Can you lock your knees in an upright position? If not, take five points. 3. Got a chin? If the answer is no, add three points. 4. How about a forehead? If not, add another three points. 5. Is it easy for you to balance a book on your head? Then give yourself five points. 6. Do you ever open Coke bottles with your teeth? If you do, add ten points. 7. Are you frequently more comfortable squatting on your heels than sitting in a chair? Take five points. 8. Is your head attached vertically to your neck? If not, add one point for every five degrees of slope. 9. Less than five feet tall? Add one point for every inch under. 10. If your lower arm is shorter than your upper arm, add one point for every inch of difference. 11. Ditto for your lower and upper legs. 12. Pigeon-toed? Five points. 13.

Feel free to build bridges, compose symphonies, and overrun the world. 20-40 points: A slight Neanderthal strain means that you will occasionally have spells of primitive behavior, crawling around on all fours and whooping wildly. If you live in California, no one will notice. 40-60 points: You can still function quite well in the modern world, but avoid eating in fancy restaurants lest your table manners give you away. 60-80 points: Your Pleistocene heritage is predominant. You should consider a career in pro football. 80-100 points: Unfortunately, your genetic makeup is Grunt City; there is no place for you in human society.

The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes. ** I've learned: that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. ** I've learned:..that when you're in love, it shows. ** I've learned... that just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day. ** I've learned...that having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world. ** I've learned..that being kind is more important than being right. ** I've learned...that you should never say no to a gift from a child. ** I've learned...that I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way. ** I've learned... that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. ** I've learned...that sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand. ** I've learned...that simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult. ** I've learned...that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for. ** I've learned... that money doesn't buy class. ** I've learned... that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. ** I've learned... that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved. ** I've learned... that even the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can? ** I've learned... that to ignore the facts does not change the facts. ** I've learned... that love, not time, heals all wounds. ** I've learned... that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am. ** I've learned...that everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile. ** I've learned...that opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. ** I've learned... that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere. ** I've learned... that I wish I could have told my Dad that I love him one more time before he passed away. ** I've learned... that one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them. ** I've learned... that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. ** I've learned...that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it. ** I've learned..that when your newly born child holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life. ** I've learned... that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it. ** I've learned...that the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done. -<>- .--. , , ) .-----._ ___ < /) | | ||==|| _(())\) | | /|==|| __ .-' (()/ '-. :_____:/ |"_|/) /| _/ () \ / .-------. __.' / | oo)__/ () \ | / '=======' () / | :~ \_ ) _/ _/ /__________________/ | | |- (--|(,/ | [___o___] | | / ) \ | / [___o___] / | | ( \ | / [___o___] / | | ( | / | / | / . | |/ __ |/ | | : | <`,,'>,--,--..-, snd | |__/_____\ | / ( ( ) ) \ .,,. oo=' oo=' '-'\ ) ) ) )\ ___.---; < (,_)_)(_,)_/ / \ .-\_/_,__ ||| ||| _ _\_\_ \\ __\-' ~~ ~~ ( ) ( ) _/ '-' /_/-/_/-' >Rules For The Workplace: ...for getting alone in the work place without anyone knowing you are just goofing off: 1. Always carry a clipboard and/or several books or files under your arm when going from the office to the breakroom, restroom, or vice versa. When colleagues presume you are carrying what appears to be work, no one assumes you are doing anything but work. 2. Always look bored, sigh and stare off into space while walking. Sighing and shaking your head while starring off into space gives the impression you are burdened down with work and on the brink of a discovery. 3. Occasionally bump into people as if your are preoccupied with thought. When you do, just kind of half heartedly say, "Excuse me, please." and move alone without ever giving eye contact. 4. Never, ever give anyone the two famous rules for being successful at work which are: (1) Never tell anyone everything you know. (2) 5. Those who follow these rules will not only get more goof off time than most, but you will probably make Employee of the Year and get your own parking space. 6. As in cooking, the number one rule in the world of business is presentation, presentation, presentation. Give people the illusion of being a preoccupied professional even when you are on your way to the restroom. -<>- >Lawrence Brotherton Asks... ** If everything was perfect, would everything be perfect? I think not, because most are not happy unless they have something to complain about. Therefore if someone likes to be unhappy and I mistreat him, have I make him happy? ** And...Before marriage, a man yearns for the women he loves. After marriage DOES the "Y" becomes silent? I think so! -<>- >Reflections on aging... **Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. **Insanity is my only means of relaxation. **Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. **You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there. **You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. **One of life's mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a person gain five pounds. **Every time I think about exercise, I lie down 'till the thought goes away. **God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will live forever. **I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart. **Time may be a great healer, but it's also a lousy beautician. **Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone. **Amazing! You just hang something in your closet for a while, and it shrinks two sizes. **Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake. -<>- >Wondering **The trouble with getting to work on time is that it makes the day so long. **Since we know that 75% of body heat escapes through the head, One would think you could ski naked if you had a good hat. **One fellow really never met anybody he didn't like. He still keeps in touch with his Army drill sergeant. **The waterbed is nothing new, I slept on one when I was a kid, but we always kept it a secret from the neighbors. **It's official: Rap music does cause crime.

However, the bill is being opposed by a strong coalition called 'Creepy Dudes United.'" -Conan O'Brien "Engineers at Boston Dynamics have unveiled a humanoid robot that can withstand getting pushed in the chest with a hockey stick without falling over. Which is definitely the most Boston way to test a robot." -Seth Meyers "You know how in high school sometimes the students will vote for the weirdest kid in class to be prom king as a joke, and then so many people get in on the joke, the kid actually becomes prom king? Well, anyway, Donald Trump won Super Tuesday." -Jimmy Kimmel "A company in Boston built a 5 foot 9 robot that can open doors, and can actually get back up if it's punched. They didn't MEAN to test whether it can get up after being punched, but well, it's Boston." Jimmy Fallon "Washington, D.C., 7-Eleven stores have begun selling Dorito- coated cheese sticks. Because when 7-Eleven drops food on the floor, they don't give up." -Seth Meyers "The price of roses always goes way up around Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is the only holiday where a plant suddenly becomes astronomically expensive and we're OK with it. It would be like if on Easter they charged $20 an egg." -Jimmy Kimmel "It was a big day for Donald Trump yesterday, the Nevada caucuses took place. Voting in the state of Nevada is a little different. In Nevada you pull the lever first and then you find out who you voted for. It is more exciting." -Jimmy Kimmel "The University of Texas has decided to allow students to carry guns in the classroom. The school says it's a guaranteed way to prevent the possibility of a pop quiz." -Seth Meyers "Whole Foods is looking into the idea of putting tattoo parlors in their grocery stores.
