A horse tale
Thanks S Y !
Here is another one!
I had a near death experience that has changed me forever.
The other day I went horseback riding. Everything was going fine until the horse started bouncing out of control. I tried with all my might to hang on, but was thrown off
Just when things could not possibly get worse, my foot gets caught in the stirrup. When this happened, I fell head first to the ground. My head continued to bounce harder as the horse did not stop or even slow down. Just as I was giving up hope and losing consciousness, the store manager came and unplugged it. Thank Goodness for heroes!

The "plane" truth:
Here's a good one. 3 guys are on plane losing alttitude when the pilot gives the news to bail out before the plane crashes. The only problem: there are just 3 chutes. 2 grab chutes and go leaving the pilot and a boy scout. The pilot tells the scout to take the remaining chute as he has his whole life before him. The scout says no, somebody grabbed my back-pack so we both get a chute. Lol.,leroy7

I heard this one in a variation^^
The Pope, Bill Gates, and a hippie are on an airplane going down. There's only 2 parachutes. Bill Gates says, "Well, I'm the smartest and richest man in world so I should definitely have one of these parachutes because I'm really important". He grabs one and jumps. The Pope says to the hippie, "You take this my son. I've lived a long and good life, and if God is ready for me, I'm ready for Him". The hippie says, "Woh. Chill dude. The smartest guy in the world just jumped out of the plane with my backpack".

So the Irish guy says: “You know we Irish are great lovers and know how to tickle their fanciesâ€. He approaches her and says: “I hear you’ll do anything for a tennerâ€! She says “that’s rightâ€.
He says, “ok you’d better get on your knees and give us a serviceâ€.
She says, “no problemâ€, and they leave the together to do the deed.
On his return the Irish guy says, “You’ll be wanting to try her services, just amazingâ€!
The English guy and the French guy argue their piece about being the greatest lovers and how the ladies prefer their lovemaking abilities to guys from other continents, so one by one have their time with her.

Pink for a boy ? a woman painter would never talk me into that one .
Here is a joke I quite liked .
A mother passing by her daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, "Mom." With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

In keeping with the spirit of the season, let us consider the young man, a young man with a serious problem, dyslexia (I know, it know, it is serious. This is an attempt at humour, remember).
This young man used to stay awake long into the night, trying to decide an answer to that great question, "is there a Dog?" Having decided the question in the affirmative, he also decided to take the opposite position and worship the powers of darkness.
However, due to his problem, he wasn't careful when he signed the contract, and he accidently sold his soul to Santa.
Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.

I got a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend the other day it's true !!. We lost
track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic nights we used to enjoy
together.
I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up
and rekindling a little of that "magic."
"Wow!" I said. "I don't know if I could keep pace with you now. I'm a bit older and a bit balder than when you last saw me!"
She just giggled and said she was sure I'd "rise" to the challenge.
"Yes" I said, "just so long as you don't mind a man with a waistline
that's a few inches wider these days!"
She laughed and told me to stop being so silly..... She teased me, saying that
tubby bald men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great
lover.
"Anyway," she giggled, "I've put on a few pounds myself!"
So I told her to (censored) off !!!

Hot southern date
If you live in the South, if you have ever lived in the South, if you live NEAR the South or have ever visited it, this might be funny. A redneck joke. (Note: this is the Southern United States).
A young Southern man goes to a drug store and says to the pharmacist: "I got a hot date tonight, an' I need me some pertection. How much is a pack a' them rubbers gonna cost me?"
The pharmacist responds: "A three-pack of condoms is $4.99 with tax."
"TACKS!" the shocked redneck says. "Gawd a' mighty, don't they stay on by themselves?"

2 kids were talking out in the yard. One kid says, "I found a condom on grandpa's veranda".
The second kid days, "What's a veranda?"
A dog goes into a bar and says "hey look at me I'm a talking dog. How about a drink for me?"
The bartender says, "Sure, the restroom's right down the hall".

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Soviet humor is not dead, it's just been updated.
Putin and Medvedyev (the newly-elected president) go into a restaurant.
The waiter comes over and recognizes Putin so he takes his order first. "What will you have, sir?"
Putin says "I'll have the steak".
The waiter asks, "And the vegetable?"
Putin says, "He'll have steak too".

Guy walks into a bar with a frog on his head. The bartender asks "Where did you get that thing?"

In the confessional
'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.'
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?'
'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'
'Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, Joey Pagano and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew. His friend Franco slides over and whispers, 'What'd you get?'
'4 months vacation and five good leads.'

A scam email I just posted reminded me of this one.
Several people go to a cocktail party. A young attractive woman is standing off in a corner. A guys sees her and moves in for a little conversation. He starts off, "so, what's your name?"
She says, "Carmen".
"Oh" he says, "that's a rather unusual name."
Well, she says, "I picked the name because it tells the 2 things I like the most".
He kind of laughs, "Oh, so you like cars and men."
"Yes" she says then asks, "So what's your name?"
He thinks for a moment: "Golftits".

Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Woman: Lost it 4 times for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want
to see.
The Officer looks at the woman, slowly backs away to his car, and
calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior
officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this
car and murdered the owner.
Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car,
please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The first officer is stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving
license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and
hands it to the officer. The officer snaps open the clutch purse and
examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't
have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked
up the owner.
Woman: Betcha the lying bastard told you I was speeding too.

Wife 1.0 Tech Support
Having trouble with Wife 1.0?
Dear Jim,
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained.
It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings ---- Alimony/Child Support".
I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPF's). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:/APOLOGIZE.
In any case avoid excessive use of the Esc key because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPF's. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance.
Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0.
Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck.

Installing Secretary with short skirt 3 has been successfully accomplished by using a dual boot system. Usually wife 1.0 occupies the windows environment and Secretary the more fun and stable Mac system. However this combination can occasionally clash with disastrous consequences, usually requiring a full purge and total reformat and starting over with a blank HD and I/O problems

How to Deal with a Mouse Problem!
This was a real memo sent out by a computer company to its
employees in all seriousness. It went to all field engineers about a
computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite genuine.
The word is that the engineers literally rolled on the floor!
Re: Replacement of Mouse Balls.
If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may
need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field
Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure,
replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained
personnel.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the
underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than
foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the
manufacturer of the mouse.
Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls
are replaced by using the twist off method.
Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive
handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement,
the mouse may be used immediately.
It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for
maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his
balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing
these necessary items. Please keep in mind that a customer without properly
working balls is an unhappy customer.

What did the doctor say?
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office alone.
He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die:
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal he can take to work. And for dinner, prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, as this could further his stress.
"Don't discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Try to relax your husband in the evening by wearing lingerie and giving him plenty of back rubs. Encourage him to watch some type of team sporting event on television.
