The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?" The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped." The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box." The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave. The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!" The Irishman replied, "aye Father, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!" _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ >From Grant I love the outdoors, and because of my passion for hunting and fishing, my family eats a considerable amount of wild game. I guess they eat so much, in fact, that one evening as I set a platter of broiled venison steaks on the dinner table, my ten-year-old daughter looked up and said, "Boy, it sure would be nice in pizzas lived in the woods." ______________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Before her performance ended, cops report, Freedom Ryder Zobrist, 38, sought to grab the genitals of a restaurant manager before licking the man on both sides of his face. When Zobrist was first asked to leave the Waffle House property, she became verbally abusive and allegedly threatened to retrieve a firearm and shoot workers and restaurant patrons. Pictured above, Zobrist declined to answer police questions. Cops reported that witnesses told them Zobrist had pulled down her pants exposing her sexual organs and started dancing around the parking lot. Zobrist was charged with multiple crimes, including assault and lewd and indecent exposure. She is being held in the Escambia County jail in lieu of $800 bond. Upon Zobrist's release from custody, a judge has ordered her to stay away from Waffle House and barred her from using alcohol and unprescribed drugs. From: Duane Re: Partial mails Dear DearWebby, I am not getting the body of the articles. I am only getting what you see below. I was getting everything and then all of a sudden this happens. Do you have any suggestions?? Thanks, Duane Dear Duane Your subject line was: Subject: Re: {Spam?} Re: {Spam?} {Disarmed} Humor: That makes it very clear that the problem is your mis-configured spam control. Try using a better spam control, like for example MailWasher. I have used it since it was in Beta testing in the mid 90's,and it has never screwed up like that. Since I use the same email addresses since the early 90's, my addresses are on every single spammer's CD and get an awful lot of spam. I don't care. MailWasher nukes it all on the server, does not even list it. It recognizes spam and quietly lets it fly down to hell. It is really easy to make filters, both good and bad filters to protect good mail, no matter what is in it, and to nuke bad mail. Making filters actually becomes a fun game to outsmart the spammers. And with MailWasher, you always win. Have FUN! DearWebby Automatically move ALL your settings and programs. No need to re-install them. The only mover recommended by Intel and Microsoft. As the plane was flying low over some hills near Athens, a lady asked the stewardess: "What's that stuff all over those hills?" "Just snow," replied the stewardess. "That's what I thought," said the lady, "but this fellow in front of me said it was Greece."

And fowl, particularly roosters, are prohibited from going into bakeries in Massachusetts. In Kansas, it is illegal for chicken thieves to work during daylight hours. In New York, frogs may be taken from their ponds from June 16 to September 30, but only between sunrise and sunset. In Pennsylvania, no one is allowed to shoot bullfrogs on a Sunday. In Arizona, the bullfrog-hunting season is permanently closed. In Vermont, you can be fined if your pig runs in a public park without the permission of a selectman. French Lick Springs, Indiana, once passed a law requiring all black cats to wear bells on Friday the 13th.

He called everyone brother, 2. He liked Gospel, 3. He didn't get a fair trial. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish: 1. He went into His father's business, 2. He lived at home until he was 33, 3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God. But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian: 1.

He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it, 3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do! ___________________________________________________ Mary was married to a male chauvinist. They both worked full time, but he never did anything around the house and certainly not any housework. That, he declared, was woman's work. But one evening Mary arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a load of wash in the washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete with flowers. She was astonished, and she immediately wanted to know what was going on. It turned out that Charley, her husband, had read an on-line article that suggested working wives would be more romantically inclined if they weren't so tired from having to do all the housework in addition to holding down a full-time job. The next day, she couldn't wait to tell her friends in the office. "How did it work out?" they asked. "Well, it was a great dinner," Mary said. "Charley even cleaned up, helped the kids with their homework, folded the laundry and put everything away." "But what about afterward?" her friends wanted to know. "It didn't work out," Mary said. "Charley was too tired!" ___________________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
