Paul returned from a doctor's visit one day and told his wife Eileen that the doctor said he only had 24 hours to live.
Wiping away her tears, he asked her to make love with him. Of course she agreed and they made passionate love.
Six hours later, Paul went to her again, and said, "Honey, now I only have 18 hours left to live.
Maybe we could make love again?" Eileen agreed and again they made love.                          
Later, Paul was getting into bed when he realised he now had only eight hours of life left. He touched Eileen's shoulder and said, "Honey?       Please? just one more time before I die." She agreed, then afterward she rolled over and fell asleep.                                            
Paul, however, heard the clock ticking in his head, and he tossed and turned until he was down to only four more hours.
He Tapped his wife on the shoulder to wake her up. "Honey, I only have four hours left!        

Could we...?"

The Kiwi

A kiwi was doing the Maori Haka whilst, somewhere in space, aliens were watching this unusual dance.  
"Kamate kamate ka-ora ka-ora ......" loudly sang
the Kiwi.
The aliens were very intrigued, and wondered what would happen if part of the
Kiwi's brain was stealthily removed!  So, with the aid of very sophisticated technology, the aliens zapped a beam at the Kiwi's head, and part of his brain instantly vaporised.

The aliens sat back to see what would happen.  "Ka-mate ka-mate ka-ora ka-ora......." sang the Kiwi.  
The aliens were amazed, absolutely no difference
in the Kiwi's behaviour.

So the aliens decided to zap a higher intensity beam at another part of the Kiwi's brain.  
Again the aliens watched for results, and again the Kiwi sang
"Ka-mate ka-mate ka-ora ka-ora ......"

The aliens naturally deduced that the Kiwi was an extremely intelligent life-form, for with even a half a brain no difference had been noticed in the Kiwi's behaviour.

The aliens decided to remove the complete brain, thus leaving the Kiwi devoid of all knowledge!

So with a push of a button the aliens zapped the Kiwi's head and sizzled the remaining grey matter.  
Now surely the Kiwi will know nothing, be dumb, and be
so stupid.

The Aliens watched the Kiwi intently, and all of a sudden the Kiwi broke into a forceful song 
"WALTZING MATILDA, WALTZING MATILDA .........."

A RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN!

This is going to make you so MAD!

A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends.

We'll be gone for a week.  
This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box.  
We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up.  
Oh!  Please pack my new blue silk pajamas."

The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked.  
The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good.

The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish.  
He says,  "Yes!  Lots of Walleye, some Bluegill, and a few pike.  
But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to?"

The wife replied "I did, they were in your tackle box!!!"

I have been engaged for almost a year.  
I am to be married next month. 
My fiancee's mother is not only very attractive but really great and understanding.  
She is putting the entire wedding together
and invited me to her place to go over the invitation list because it had grown a bit beyond what we had expected it to be.
When I got to her place we reviewed the list and trimmed it down to just
under a hundred...then she floored me.  
She said that in a month I would
be a married man and that before that happened, she wanted to have s e x with me. then she just stood up and walked to her bedroom and on her way said that I knew where the front door was if I wanted to leave.
I stood there for about five minutes and finally decided that I knew
exactly how to deal with this situation.  
I headed straight out the front
door...
There, leaning against my car was her husband, my father-in-law to be. 
He was smiling.  
He explained that they just wanted to be sure I
was a good kid and would be true to their little girl.  
I shook his hand and
he congratulated me on passing their little test.

Deidre, should I tell my fiancee what her parents did, and that I thought their "little test" was asinine and insulting to my character?
Or
should I keep the whole thing to myself including the fact that the reason I was walking out to my car was to get a condom?

The Blonde

A blonde tries to go horseback riding even though she has had no lessons or prior experience.

She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into action. It gallops along at a steady rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to lose her grip and starts to slide in the saddle.

In terror, she grabs for the mane but can't seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horses neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to it's slipping rider.

Unfortunately, the Blonde's foot has become entangled in the stirrup. She is now at the mercy of the hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over again.

As her head is battered against the ground she is moments away from losing consciousness when, to her great fortune, the Woolworth's Manager sees her and unplugs the horse.

The art of making love

The Frenchman replies, "Zat is nothing, when Ah 'ave finished making ze love with ze girlfriend, Ah kiss all ze way down her body and zen Ah lick zer soles of her feet wiz mah tongue and she floats 12 inches above ze bed in pure ecstasy".

The Aussie says, "Mate, that's nothing. When I've finished shaggin my chick, I get out of bed, walk over to the window and wipe my dick on the curtains. And MATE ..... She hits the f*cking roof !!!"

Who Says Men Aren't Sensitive?

A woman meets a gorgeous man in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that his bedroom is completely packed with sweet cuddly teddy bears. Hundreds of cute small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, cuddly medium-sized ones on a shelf a little higher, and huge enormous bears on the top shelf along the wall.

The woman is surprised that this guy would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but she decides not to mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by his sensitive side. She turns to him... they kiss...and then they rip each other's clothes off and make hot steamy love.

After an intense night of passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow, the woman rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it?" 
The guy says: . .. ... .... ..... .......

"Help yourself to any prize from the bottom shelf."

Two girls decided to go out on the town without their husbands.

As they came back, right before dawn, both of them drunk, they felt the urge to pee.

They noticed the only place to stop was a cemetery. Scared and drunk, they stopped and decided to go there anyway.

The first one didn't have anything to wipe herself with, so she took off her panties and used them, then discarded them.

The second not finding anything either, thought "I'm not getting rid of my panties..." so she used the ribbon of a flower wreath to wipe off with.

The morning after, both husbands were talking to each other on the phone, and one said to the other: " We have to be on the look-out, it seems that these two were up to no good last night, my wife came home without her panties on...".

The other one replied: "You're lucky mate, mine came home with a card stuck to her ass that read, "We will never forget you".

An elderly married couple scheduled their annual medical examination the same day so they could travel together. After the examination, the doctor then said to the man: "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?"

"In fact, I do," said the man. "After I have sex with my wife the first time, I am usually hot and sweaty. And then, after I have sex with my wife the second time, I am usually cold and chilly."

"This is very interesting," replied the doctor. "Let me do some research and get back to you." After examining the elderly lady, the doctor said: "Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?"

The lady replied that she had no questions nor concerns. The doctor than asked: "Your husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually hot and sweaty after having sex the first time with you and cold and chilly after the second time.... "Do you know why?"

"Oh that old buzzard!" she replied. "That's because the first time is usually in July and the second time is usually in December."

Now this is friendship !!!! - Love it !! 

Telephone conversation goes;
"Hello, is this the police?
"Yes it is. What do you want?"
"I'm calling to report about my neighbour, Tony. 
He's hiding Cocaine inside his firewood!"
"Thank you very much for the call, sir."

The next day, the police officers descended on Tony's house in great numbers.
They searched the house and then went to the shed where the firewood was kept.
Using axes, they busted open every piece of wood but found no Cocaine. 

They swore at Tony and left.
The phone rang at Tony's house.
"Hey, Tony. Did the cops come?"
"Yeah!"
"Did they chop your firewood?"
"Yep."

"Happy Birthday, mate."

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all so they decided that one has to leave, otherwise they were all going to fall.

They were not able to name that person but the woman held a very touching speech - she said that she will voluntarily let go of the rope because as a woman she is used to give up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in general, without ever getting anything in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands......

Floyd the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'll be worth it. So he buys Floyd. The farmer takes Floyd home and sets him down in the barnyard--then gives the rooster a pep talk.

"I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.

Floyd seemed to understand, so the farmer pointed toward the hen house and Floyd took off like a shot. WHAM! Floyd nailed every hen in the hen house, three or four times. The farmer was flabbergasted

After that the farmer heard a commotion in the duck pen. Sure enough, Floyd was there.

Later, the farmer saw Floyd after a flock of geese by the lake. Once again, WHAM! Floyd got all the geese.

By sunset the farmer saw Floyd in the field chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer was distraught and worried that his expensive rooster wouldn't last even 24 hours. The farmer went to bed.

When he awoke the next day, he found Floyd on his back--stone cold in the middle of the yard. Vultures were circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive bird, shook his head and said

"Oh, Floyd, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."

Floyd opened one eye, nodded toward the vultures circling in the sky and said, "Shhh! They're getting closer."

He vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own. One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong. "What's wrong, Bill?" she asked. "Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?" "Oh, Bill, you didn't." "Yes, I did."

Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink." The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his privates in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth as the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the alligator hard on the top of its head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genitals unscathed as promised. The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks were delivered. The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try".
A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar. A woman timidly spoke up. "I'll try, but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle".

There was this couple who had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife, "Just think, honey, we've been married for 50 years." "Yeah," he replied, "Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together." "I know," the old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years ago." "Well," Granny snickered, 
"What do you say...should we get naked?" Where upon the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table. "You know, honey," the little old lady breathlessly replied, "My nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago." "I wouldn't be surprised," replied Gramps. "One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal!!!

The first speaker, a lady from England stood and said, "During last year's conference, we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well, after the conference, I went home and told my husband, Barrington, that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself.

After the first day, I saw nothing. The second day, I saw nothing, but on the third day, I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb." (The crowd cheered).

The second speaker from Russia, stood up and said, "After last year's conference, I went home and told my husband, Ivan, that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. The first day, I saw nothing. After the second day, I saw nothing, but on the third day, I saw that he had done not only his own washing, mine as well. (The crowd again cheered).

The third speaker, an Aboriginal lady, stood up and said, "Afta lass year's conference, I wen home and tole dat lazy husband of mines, Dingo Jack, dat I was froo pickin up his beer cans, cookin his tucker and washing his undaweah and dat he was goin to haf to do dem himself.

The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360 gallons are spilled into the ocean every time one unloads, and you wonder why the ocean is so salty...

The CEO of Inghams manages to arrange a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican.

After receiving the papal blessing, he whispers, "Your eminence, we have an offer for you. Inghams is prepared to donate $100 million dollars to the church if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to, 'give us this day our daily chicken.' The Pope responds, "That is impossible. The Prayer is the word of the Lord it must not be changed."

"Well," says the Inghams man, "we anticipated your reluctance. For this reason, we will increase our offer to $300 million dollars. All we require is that you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread 'to 'give us this day our daily chicken.' Again, the Pope replies,

 "That, my son, is impossible. For the prayer is the word of the Lord and it must not be changed." Finally, the Inghams guy says, "Your Holiness, we at Inghams respect your adherence to your faith, but we do have one final offer. We will donate $500 million dollars - that's half a billion dollars to the great Catholic church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken.'

Please consider it." And he leaves.

The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals. "There is some good news," he announces, "and some bad news."

"The good news is that the Church will come into $500 million dollars."

"And the bad news, your Eminence?" asks a Cardinal.

"We're losing the Tip Top Account."

A lonely spinster, aged 70, decided that it was time to get married. She decided to put an ad in the local paper that read: "HUSBAND WANTED, must be in my age group, must not beat me, must not run around on me, and must still be good in bed! All applicants apply in person."

On the second day she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay she opened the door to see a gray haired gentleman sitting in a wheel chair.

He had no arms or legs.

She asked sardonically, "You're not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just look at you...you have no legs!"
The old man smiled, "Therefore I cannot run around on you!"

She snorted, "You don't have any hands either!"
Again the old man smiled, "Nor can I beat you!"

She raised an eyebrow and gazed intently, "Are you still good in bed?"
With that, the old gentleman beamed a broad smile, "I rang the doorbell didn't I ?"

A frustrated housewife decided her sex life needed spicing up after 20 years of marriage. After her husband went to work she slipped out and went into a lingerie shop and picked up a pair of crotchless knickers.

She went home, tarted herself up and donned the new garment and selected a short skirt to go with it.

She greeted her husband when he came home from work and sat across from him after she prepares him a drink.

She slowly spreads her legs, and in a husky voice says

"Honey, would you like some of this?"

The husband looks between his ageing wife's legs, looks up at his doting wife and replies,

"HELL, NO! Look what its done to your underwear."

Two Arabs are chatting. One of them has his wallet out and is flipping through pictures. "Yeah, this is my oldest. He's a martyr. Here's my second son. He's a martyr, too."

There's a pause...

The second Arab says, wistfully, "Ah, they blow up so fast, don't they?"

An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall.
A young man walked up and sat down next to him.
He had spiked hair in different colours; green, red, orange, blue, and yellow.
The old man just stared at him.
The young man turned to him and said sarcastically,
"What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?"
Without batting an eye, the old man replied, "Got drunk once and fucked a parrot.
I was just wondering if you were my son."

On a recent transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.

One woman in particular loses it.

Screaming, she stands up in the front of the  plane. "I'm too young to die," she wails. 
Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! 
Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?"

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril.
They all stared, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.

Then a man stands up in the rear of the plane.
He is gorgeous, tall, built, with reddish-blond hair and hazel eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt -

......one button at a time.

......No one moves.

.......He removes his shirt.

.....Muscles ripple across his chest

......he whispers:

......."Here, iron this."

Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Mary suddenly jumped into the deep end. She sunk to the bottom and stayed there.

Jim promptly jumped in to save her. He swam to the bottom and pulled Mary out. When the medical director became aware of Jim's heroic act he immediately ordered him to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered him to be mentally stable.

When he went to tell Jim the news he said, "Jim, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses. The bad news is, Mary, the patient you saved, hung herself with her bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but she's dead."

Jim replied, "She's not dead, I put her there to dry."

Re: Green Dog

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

Keep Faith in Troubled Times
And the Lord Spoke to Noah and said:
"  In One year, I am going to make it rain and cover the whole earth with water until everyone is destroyed. 
But I want you to save the righteous people and two of every kind of living thing on the earth "
In a flash God delivered the specifications for an Ark. Noah took the plans and agreed to build the Ark. Exactly one year later, fierce storm clouds covered the earth and all the seas of the earth went into a tumult.

The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard weeping " Noah, " he shouted. " Where is the Ark ? "

'" Lord please forgive me ? cried Noah. " I did my best, but there were big problems.
First, I had to to get a permit for construction and your plans did not meet specifications. I had to hire an engineering company to redraw them.
" Then I got into a fight with Occupational Safety people over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system and floatation devices."
" Then my neighbour objected, claiming I was violating by-laws by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from Town Planning. "
" Then I had problems getting enough wood for the Ark, because there was a ban on cutting trees to protect the Spotted Owl
I finally convinced the Forestry Department that I needed the wood to save the Owls. However, The Department of Environmental Affairs won't let me catch any Owls. "
" The carpenters went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the builders Federation before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. "
" Then I got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me only taking two of each kind aboard.
" When their objections were finally dismissed, the Department of Environment notified me that I could not complete the Ark, without filing an environment impact assessment on your proposed flood "
" They didn't take very kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of the Creator of the universe."
" Then the city engineer demanded a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe."
" The Australian Tax office has seized my assets, claiming that I'm building the Ark in preparation to flee the country to avoid paying taxes."
" I just got a notice from the Licensing Department that I owe them some kind of tax, having failed to register the Ark as a recreational watercraft."
And you thought you had it tough ???... Hang in there   Brian Andrews 17 / 10 / 01

Jack and Betty are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, when Jack asks his wife, "Betty, have you ever cheated on me?"
Betty replies, "Oh Jack, why would you ask such a question now? You don't
want to know that."
"Yes, Betty, I really want to know. Please."
"Well then" replies Betty, giving in, "I'm afraid so. Three times..."
"Three?!  Well, when were they?" he asked.
"Well, Jack, remember when you were 35 years-old and you really, really
wanted to start a business on your own, and no bank would give you a loan?
But suddenly one day the bank president himself came over to the house and
signed the loan papers, no questions asked?"
"Oh, Betty, you did that for me? I guess I can't be too upset about that.
Well, when was number 2?"
"Well, Jack, remember when you had that last heart attack and you really,
really needed that very risky operation that no surgeon was willing to perform?
And, remember how Dr. DeBakey suddenly came all the way up here to
perform the surgery himself?"
"Betty, you should do such a thing for me, to save my life.
To do such a
thing, you must truly love me.
How could any man be upset with that?
And so,
finally, when was number 3?"
"Well, Jack, remember a few years ago, when you really, really wanted to be
president of the golf club - and you were 27 votes short?"
What should we do with Osama bin Laden when we capture him? Kill him?
No -
he would be a martyr! Leave him alone? No - it would make the USA look bad!
Solution: bring him to trial, give him a sex change and send him back to
live as a woman under Taliban rule.
If you bought $1,000.00 worth of Ansett stock one year ago, it would be worth $49.00 today. If you bought $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the deposit, you would have $79.00 today. Invest wisely...
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch in New Zealand. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. The brunette balances their check book, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home."

The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to
help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."

Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word, 'comfortable.'"

The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, 'comfortable'?"

The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde. She'll read it very slow."

There was an old couple who hadn't celebrated Halloween in a long time, so they decided to dress up and go out. The old woman went in her bedroom, stripped naked, and tied a string between her legs with a lemon at the end of the string. When she walked out of the room her husband yelled "You can't go out like that!" "I can go out as whatever I want and so can you!"
The man agreed and went into his room. Soon, he came out naked with a
string tied to his penis and a potato at the end of the string.
The woman said "You're going out as that?"
"Yes," said the old man. "If you can go out as a sourpuss, I can go out as a
dicktator."
After her fifth child, Lucy decided that she should have some cosmetic surgery "down below" to restore herself to her former youthful glory because her genitals were dangling a bit too low and looked like a ripped out fireplace. Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned that, with five children now being the limit, she'd tidy things with a nip here and a tuck there so it looked more like a piggy bank slot rather than a badly packed kebab.
Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three roses
at the end of the bed. "Who are these from ?" she asked the nurse, "They're very nice but I'm a bit confused as to why I've received them." "Well" said the nurse, "The first is from the surgeon - the operation went so well and you were such a model patient that he wanted to say thanks". "Ahhh, that's really nice" said Lucy. "The second is from your husband - he's delighted the operation was such a success that he can't wait to get you home. Apparently it'll be the first time he's touched the sides for years and he's very excited!". "Brilliant!" said Lucy. "And the third?". 
"That's from Eric in the burns unit", said the nurse. "He just wanted to say thanks for his new ears."

Extract from the Latest Mills and Boon Novel with writing like this there really is no need for pictures!

We met in a secluded field, the sun nearly kissing the evening horizon.

The warm breeze was full of that earthy, musky scent that only those fortunate enough to live outside the urban rat race know, and a quiet whispering of leaves in the weeping willow overhead added the final touch to the most romantic scene.

We lay there, both naked. I knew I had to have her, and have her now.

Without a word being spoken, I moved to a position of dominance. I could feel instantly that this was what she was waiting for as she frantically thrust her pelvis at my approaching organ. I moved slowly at first, Inch by inch, until I was fully inside her.

Then as the tension rose, we threw caution to the wind and abandoned ourselves to the moment. Although inexperienced, she approached every change of position with enthusiasm, moaning with despair every time I withdrew to prevent myself ending it all too soon. As the sexual tension heightened towards the inevitable mind blowing climax, it was all I could do to hold out any longer.

Finally, the moment we had been building up to was upon us, and passed all too quickly. Breathlessly we rolled together in the now damp grass.

As the last deep orange glow of the long setting sun melted into the darkness of approaching night, we lay there still entwined in an amorous embrace.

I kissed her long and lovingly, and whispered reassuringly how good she had been. She tenderly and sensuously licked my inner ear then whispered, "Baaa" and rejoined the flock.

What to do with Osama bin Laden?

Killing him will only create a martyr.
Holding him prisoner will inspire his comrades to take hostages to
demand his release.

Therefore, I suggest we do neither.
Let the Special Forces, Seals or whatever covertly capture him, fly him
to an undisclosed hospital and have surgeons quickly perform a complete sex change operation.

Then we return HER to Afghanistan to live as a woman under the Taliban.

Trip to the Gynecologist

A beautiful, voluptuous woman went to a gynecologist. 
The doctor took
one look at her, and all his professionalism went out the window.
He immediately told her to undress. After she had disrobed, the doctor
began to stroke her thigh.
Doing so, he asked her, "Do you know what I'm doing?"
"Yes," she replied, "you're checking for any abrasions or
dermatological abnormalities."
"That is right," said the doctor.
He then began to fondle her breasts. "Do you know what I'm doing now?"
"Yes," the woman said, "you're checking for any lumps or breast
cancer."
"Correct," replied the shady doctor.
Finally, he mounted his patient and started having sexual intercourse
with her.
He asked, "Do you know what I'm doing now?"
"Yes," she said. "You're getting herpes, which is why I came here in
the first place

Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Ladin and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of  it.

"I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.

Osama Bin Ladin was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall around Afghanistan.

Uncle Sam (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or out---virtually impenetrable."

Uncle Sam says, "Fill it with water."

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
A festive holiday poem by Hugh Drumm & Vincent
Ambrose
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Net,
There were hacker's a surfing. Nerds? Yeah, you bet.
The e-mails were stacked by the modem with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The newbies were nestled all snug by their screens,
While visions of Java danced in their dreams.
My wife on the sofa and me with a snack,
We just settled down at my rig (it's a Mac).
When out in the Web there arose such a clatter,
I jumped to the site to see what was the matter.
To a new page my Mac flew like a flash,
Then made a slight gurgle. It started to crash!!
I gasped at the thought and started to grouse,
Then turned my head sideways and clicked on my mouse.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
My Mac jumped to a page that wasn't quite clear.
When the image resolved, so bright and so quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!
More rapid than mainframes, more graphics they came,
Then Nick glanced toward my screen, my Mac called them by name;
"Now Compaq! Now Acer!", my speaker did reel;
"On Apple! On Gateway!" Santa started to squeal!
"Jump onto the circuits! And into the chip!
Now speed it up! Speed it up! Make this thing hip!"
The screen gave a flicker, he was into my RAM,
Then into my room rose a full hologram!
He was dressed in all red, from his head to his shoes,
Which were black (the white socks he really should lose).
He pulled out some discs he had stored in his backpack.
Santa looked like a dude who was rarin' to hack!
His eyes, how they twinkled! His glasses, how techno!
This ain't the same Santa that I used to know!
With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head,
Santa soon let me know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, gave my Mac a quick poke,
And accessed my C drive with only a stroke.
He defragged my hard drive, and added a DIMM,
Then threw in some cool games, just on a whim!
He worked without noise, his fingers they flew!
He distorted some pictures with Kai's Power Goo!
He updated Office, Excel and Quicken,
Then added a screensaver with a red clucking chicken!
My eyes widened a bit, my mouth stood agape,
As he added the latest version of Netscape.
The drive gave a whirl, as if it were pleased,
St. Nick coyly smiled, the computer appeased.
Then placing his finger on the bridge of his nose,
Santa turned into nothing but ones and zeros!
He flew back into my screen and through my uplink,
Back into the net with barely a blink.
But I heard his sweet voice as he flew from my sight,
"Happy surfing to all, and to all a good byte!"

NEXT TIME YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY:

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with SCUBA tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask. A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification.
Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the
middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that, on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles away from the forest.
The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was
dipped from the ocean then flown to the forest fire and emptied.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the
Pacific, the next he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300
feet in the air. Apparently he extinguished exactly 5'-10" of the fire.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!

STILL THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?
A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the
kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding on to the handle bars, was dragged through the glass patio doors and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.
The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room and found her
husband laying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle laying next to him and the shattered patio door. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance.
Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several
flights of stairs to the street to escort the paramedics to her husband.
After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the
wife up righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas was spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet. The husband was treated and released to come home. Upon arriving at home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down on the toilet and smoked a cigarette.
After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the
toilet bowl while still seated. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin. The wife again ran to the phone to call the ambulance.
The very same paramedic crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the
street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself.
She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them slipped and tipped the
stretcher, dumping the husband out. He fell down the remaining stairs and broke his arm.
