Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 From time to time we send in humour to this list dedicated to spirituality. Sometimes the humour is a bit iffy. : ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A bum asked a man on the street for two dollars. " Will you buy booze? " the man asks, to which the bum replies, " No. " " Will you gamble it away? " Once again the bum replies, " No. " " Will you make bets at the golf course? " Once again the bum replies " No, I don't play golf " Then the man asks, " Will you come home with me so my wife can see what happens to a man who doesn't drink, gamble or play golf? " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The other day I was preparing another one of my gourmet meals. I asked my wife to go over to the local market and buy some organic vegetables for the evening meal. She came back rather upset. I asked her what happened and she replied, " That produce guy is a real jerk. He must think I'm blonde or something! " " But you are blonde, " I reminded her. " Not that way. He thought I was stupid or something. I went and looked around for your organic vegetables and I couldn't find any. So I asked him where the organic vegetables were. He didn't seem to understand so I said: 'These vegetables are for my husband. Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?' The produce guy looked at me and said, 'No, ma'am. You'll have to do that yourself.' " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ President George W. Bush is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, " tragedy. " So the president asks the class for an example of a " tragedy. " One little boy stands up and offers, " If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy. " " No " says Bush, " that would be an accident. " A little girl raises her hand: " If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy. " " I'm afraid not " explains the President. " That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS. " The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room. " Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy? " Finally, way in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, " If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy. " Correct " exclaims Bush, " that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy? " " Well, " Lil' Johnny said, " because, like you just told us, it wouldn't be an accident, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Airhead Airlines, Flight 101, is coming in for a landing, and the pilot is freaking out. The sweat is jumping off his brow. (Plane landing and screeching to a halt.) RRRtttt! He turns to the co-pilot, and he says, " Man, that is the *shortest* runway I ever landed on. " The co-pilot says, " Yeah, and so *wide*.
