Hip-hop Apostrophe.


This week we are blessed with another joke issue.  Let me tell you,
this issue is chock full o' jokes.  We got more jokes than you can
shake a stick at -- DON'T EVEN PICK THAT STICK UP, MISTER!  Thanks
to everyone who sent stuff in, and SHAME, SHAME to the people who
submitted OJ jokes.  You know I won't print anymore of them.  It's
just too much.

If you're in the Austin area this week, be sure to catch HSO (http:
//www.eden.com/~etrigan/hso) at Hole in the Wall on Wednesday.  Not
only are we blessed to have them play here, but we're doubly blessed
that Miss Universe is opening.  (Who's Miss Universe, you ask?!?
Imagine if the Go-Go's had more get-up-n-go.)

I'd like to apologize about getting your hopes up for the XTC trib-
ute album on last Tuesday, but you couldn't have made as much an ass
of yourself as I did whipping into the CD store just as the doors
were unlocked to grab the first copy only to be dis'ed by the pizza
faced goatee boy behind the counter for not being _quite_ as "in
tune" to the hip scene as he is...  Of course it's not nearly as 
dissapointing as spending the rest of your days and nights wondering
about the ducks... (http://linex.com:80/~alibee/ducks.html).  The
XTC tribute album is out _this_ week (along with Melon Collie and the
Infinite Sadness from Smushed Gourds.)

Bill and Fred had been out driving through the countryside and were on 
their way back to the city.  Bill was at the wheel.  As they approached 
the city limits, the first traffic light turned red.  Seeing this, Bill 
stomped on the gas and the car plowed right on through the intersection, 
against the light, leaving the sounds of screeching metal and squealing 
brakes behind.

 Fred came pretty close to peeing his pants.

"ARE YOU NUTS?"  screamed Fred.  "We could've been KILLED back there!"
     
Bill,  serenely unconcerned by Fred's reaction, waved a hand negligently 
and said: "Relax.  My brother Bob does this all the time.  It's OK.  
Believe me."
     
Fred still thought Bill was nuts, but relaxed until the next traffic 
light loomed, and as they approached it, it turned red.  Once again Bill 
stomped on the gas and bullied his way through the intersection, against 
the light.
     
Again, Fred yelled at him:  "Are you out of your MUCKING FIND?  You're 
gonna get us killed! Let me out at the next corner!"
     
Bill was still smiling as he said to Fred:  "Will you calm down, already?
It's cool.  My brother Bob does this all the time.  Nothing ever happens."
     
So Fred subsided as they drove on; and when they approached the next light, 
and it turned red, and Bill started to accelerate, Fred dove into the back 
seat.  Bill started to laugh and said, "Will you stop being so paranoid?  
I keep telling you, my brother Bob drives like this ALL the time.  Nothing 
has ever happened to HIM."
     
So this went on for a half-dozen or so more lights, with Bill speeding 
through them when they turned red. By this time, Fred just remained 
cowering on the floor behind the front seat, and all of Bill's assurances 
about his brother Bob fell on deaf ears.
     
All of a sudden, Fred found himself being smushed into the back of the front 
seat, while the car labored to stop, brakes squealing, the smell of burning 
tires wafting in, every molecule of the vehicle straining against every 
other molecule in a heroic effort to cease moving.  Finally the car was 
still.  Fred stuck his head up and looked out the front window to see what 
was going on.  All he saw was an intersection with a traffic light.  And it 
was GREEN!
     
"What the hell's going on?  You've run EVERY red light since we entered 
town, and now the light's *green*, and you're just SITTING here?"  Fred 
asked incredulously.
     
"Well, hey,"  said Bill, "*I* ain't gonna enter that intersection, no way, 
no how."
     
Fred, beside himself, screamed, "Why the hell NOT?  The light's GREEN!
 You've just run every red light, saying 'If my brother BOB can do it, so
can I'.  What's the problem?"
     
"Well, that's just it", replied Bill.  "I can't go out there when the light's 
GREEN, because BOB might be coming the other way!"

[ And more from "the un-wired co-worker...ok, let's just call ]
[ her "Crouqette" from now on.                                ]

The other day I went to the local religious book store, where I
saw a HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on 
the back bumper of my car, and I'm really glad I did. What an uplifting 
experience followed!
     
I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, just lost in 
thought about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed.
That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love Jesus.
     
Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must REALLY
love the Lord because pretty soon, he leaned out his window and yelled, 
"Jesus Christ!" as loud as he could. It was like a football game with 
him shouting, "GO JESUS CHRIST,GO!"
     
Everyone else started honking, too, so I leaned out my window and 
waved and smiled to all of those loving people.
     
There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could
hear him yelling something about a sunny beach, and saw him waving in a 
funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
     
I asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked
at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign. 
So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
     
Several cars behind, a very nice black man stepped out of his car
and yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded like, 
"Mother trucker," or "Mother's from there." Maybe he was from Florida, 
too. He must really love the Lord.
     
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment
that they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I bet they 
wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had changed to 
yellow, and stepped on the gas.
     
And a good thing I did, because I was the only driver to get
across the intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned 
way out the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good 
luck sign as I drove away.
     
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks.

General Motors Help Desk

                What if people bought cars like they buy computers? 

  General Motors doesn't have a "help line" for people who don't know how to 
  drive, because people don't buy cars like they buy computers. But imagine 
  if they did...

  -----

  HELPLINE:  "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "I got in my car and closed the door and nothing happened!" 

  HELPLINE:  "Did you put the key in the ignition and turn it?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "What's an ignition?"

  HELPLINE:  "It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and 
              turns over the engine."

  CUSTOMER:  "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know all 
              of these technical terms just to use my car?"

  -----

  HELPLINE:  "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!" 

  HELPLINE:  "Is the gas tank empty?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "Huh? How do I know?"

  HELPLINE:  "There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and 
              markings from 'E' to 'F'. Where is the needle pointing?"

  CUSTOMER:  "I see an 'E' but no 'F'." 

  HELPLINE:  "You see the 'E' and just to the right is the 'F'. 

  CUSTOMER:  "No, just to the right of the first 'E' is a 'V'. 

  HELPLINE:  "A 'V'?!?"

  CUSTOMER:  "Yeah, there's a 'C', an 'H', the first 'E', then a 'V', followed 
              by 'R', 'O', 'L' ..."

  HELPLINE:  "No, no, no sir! That's the front of the car. When you sit behind 
              the steering wheel, that's the panel I'm talking about."

  CUSTOMER:  "That steering wheel thingy - Is that the round thing that honks 
              the horn?"

  HELPLINE:  "Yes, among other things." 

  CUSTOMER:  "The needle's pointing to 'E'. What does that mean?" 

  HELPLINE:  "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor and purchase 
              some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the
              vendor to install it for you." 

  CUSTOMER:  "What? I paid $18,000 for this car! Now you tell me that I have 
              to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with
              everything built in!" 

  -----

  HELPLINE:  "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "Your cars suck!"

  HELPLINE:  "What's wrong?"

  CUSTOMER:  "It crashed, that's what went wrong!" 

  HELPLINE:  "What were you doing?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "I wanted to go faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all the 
              way to the floor. It worked for a while, and then it crashed -
              and now it won't even start up!" 

  HELPLINE:  "I'm sorry, sir, but it's your responsibility if you misuse the 
              product."

  CUSTOMER:  "Misuse it? I was just following this damned manual of yours. It 
              said to make the car go to put the transmission in 'D' and press 
              the accelerator pedal. That's exactly what I did - now the damn 
              thing's crashed."

  HELPLINE:  "Did you read the entire operator's manual before operating the 
              car sir?"

  CUSTOMER:  "What? Of course I did! I told you I did EVERYTHING the manual 
              said and it didn't work!"

  HELPLINE:  "Didn't you attempt to slow down so you wouldn't crash?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "How do you do THAT?"

  HELPLINE:  "You said you read the entire manual, sir. It's on page 14. The 
              pedal next to the accelerator."

  CUSTOMER:  "Well, I don't have all day to sit around and read this manual 
              you know."

  HELPLINE:  "Of course not. What do you expect us to do about it?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "I want you to send me one of the latest versions that goes fast 
              and won't crash anymore!"

  ----- 

  HELPLINE:  "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car because it 
              has automatic transmission, cruise control, power steering, power
              brakes, and power door locks." 

  HELPLINE:  "Thanks for buying our car. How can I help you?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "How do I work it?"

  HELPLINE:  "Do you know how to drive?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "Do I know how to what?" 

  HELPLINE:  "Do you know how to DRIVE?" 

  CUSTOMER:  "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go places in my car!"

     Elephant joke

     So, this big, huge elephant is slowly walking through the jungle. 
     She's so pleased to be alive on such a beautiful day. The birds are 
     singing, the monkeys are playing in the trees, the whole jungle is 
     alive on this gorgeous day! As Ms. Elephant is making her journey 
     through the jungle, she suddenly screams out in pain,
     
     "OOOWWWWW!!!!!"
     
     She looks down at her right, front foot. To her horror she sees a big, 
     black thorn protruding from the side of her soft foot. She couldn't 
     move. The pain was unbearable.
     
     "Oh, God." she weeps. "What ever am I going to do?"
     
     Luckily, just about this time, an tiny, little ant happens by. He 
     scurries over to the sobbing elephant.
     
     "What's wrong, babe?" he asks in his raspy voice.
     
     "Oh. Well, I, uh, sorta got a thorn stuck in my foot, BOO HOO HOO!" 
     Ms. Elephant cries.
     
     "Don't worry, sugar, I'll get that nasty thorn out. But, you will have 
     to repay me for my services." he boldly states.
     
     "Um, ok, what do you have in mind?" she sobs wearily.
     
     "I'll get this thorn out, then we have passionate sex. Got it?!"
     
     "OK." replies the dumb, naive elephant.
     
     It didn't take long for stud ant to march up to the thorn (which was 
     slightly bigger than himself) and began to pull. He tugged and pulled 
     with all of his might. Finally, the thorn popped out, throwing the 
     tiny guy on his back. The elephant began to smile in relief. The ant 
     hopped to his tiny feet.
     
     "AHHH... Thank you so, Mr. Ant..."
     
     "Ready for me, baby?"
     
     Forgetting what she had promised, the elephant reluctantly nodded her 
     head in agreement. The ant was already climbing up her huge, hind leg.
     Talking dirty to her as he slowly made his way up to her rump! The 
     birds were chirping loudly as the monkeys in the trees were going 
     crazy. At the same time the little ant began to approach the base of 
     her tail, one of the monkeys had settled down to take notice. Mr. Ant 
     made his way under Ms. Elephant's tail, all the time whispering dirty 
     nothings. Poor elephant was simply standing there feeling humiliated 
     having to endure all of this sex torture. Just about this time kid 
     monkey decides to grab hold of a coconut. He hurls it directly at Ms. 
     Elephant's head, right when tiny ant is "giving it" to her rump! The 
     coconut smacks the elephant square in the head.
     
     "AHHH... GOD!!!!!" moans the elephant.
     
     "Take it all bitch." replies the ant.

A Priest and a Nun...
     
A priest and a nun are on their way back home from a trip when their car
breaks down. They are unable to get it fixed, so they decide to spend the 
night in a hotel. The only hotel in the town has only one room available.
     
Priest: Sister, I don't think the Lord would have a problem, under the 
circumstances, if we spent the night together in this one room. I'll sleep 
on the lounge and you have the bed.
Nun: I think that would be okay.
     
They prepare for bed and each one takes their agreed place in the room. Ten 
minutes later...
     
Nun: Father, I'm terribly cold.
Priest: Okay, I'll get you a blanket. (He does)
     
Ten minutes later...
     
Nun: Father, I'm still terribly cold.
Priest: Okay Sister, I'll get you another blanket. (He does)
     
Ten minutes later...
     
Nun: Father, I'm still terribly cold. I don't think the Lord would mind if we 
acted as man and wife
just for this one night.
Priest: You're probably right...get up and get your own damn blanket.

The Reverend John Fuzz...
     
The Reverend John Fuzz was pastor of a small congregation in a little 
Pennsylvania town. One day he was walking down Main Street and he happened to 
notice a female member of his congregation sitting in the town bar, drinking 
beer. The reverend thought this was sinful and not something a member of his 
congregation should do, so he walked through the open door of the bar and sat 
down next to the woman.
     
"Mrs. Fitzgerald," the reverend said sternly. "This is no place for a member of 
my congregation.
Why don't you let me take you home?"
     
"Shure," she said with a slur, obviously very drunk.
     
When Mrs. Fitzgerald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back and forth. 
The reverend realized that she had had too much to drink and he grabbed hold of 
her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to
the floor. After rolling around for a few seconds, the reverend wound up lying 
on top of Mrs. Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist.
     
The bartender looked over the bar and said, "Here, here, buddy, we won't have 
any of that carrying on in this bar."
     
The reverend looked up at the bartender and said, "But you don't understand, I'm
Pastor Fuzz."
     
The bartender nodded. "Well if you're that far you may as well finish."

Arthritis
     
A drunk that smelled like a brewery got on a bus one day. He sat down next to a 
priest. The drunk's shirt was stained, his face was full of bright red lipstick 
and he had a half empty bottle of wine sticking out of his pocket. He opened his
newspaper and started reading---a couple of minutes later he asked the priest, 
"Father what causes arthritis"? 
"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women, too much 
alcohol and contempt for your fellow man".
     
"Well I'll be damned", the drunk muttered and returned to reading his paper.
     
The priest, thinking about what he said turned to the man and apologized. "I'm 
sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong---how long have you had arthritis"?
     
"I don't, father, I was just reading in the paper that the Pope has it".

St Peter Gets Bored
     
St Peter gets fed up with standing at the pearly gates and giving or denying 
access to Heaven. Jesus offers to take over. A man comes up to him. 
     
"I'm looking for my son." he says 
     
"And who are you" says Jesus 
     
"I suppose I'm the closest this he has to a Father." says the man 
     
"What do you do?" asks Jesus curiously 
     
"I suppose you could say I'm a carpenter" says the man 
     
"And does your son have holes in his hands and feet?" asks Jesus excitedly. 
     
"He does!" shouts the man 
     
"DADDY!" shouts Jesus 
     
"PINNOCHIO!" shouts Guisseppe

[ From kmembry@internetMCI.COM the Squidmeister comes a classic. ]

   A guy is walking along and trips over a magic lantern, releasing the genie.
The genie pops out and says, "Wow, I've been in there for so long, I'm so 
grateful, I'm going to try and grant you any wish you desire." 
   So the guy pulls out a map, points to the Middle East, and says "It would 
really make me happy if you put these countries at peace."
   The genie takes a look, and says "You know, these countries have been at 
war almost since the beginning of time, even before I was stuck in that damn 
lantern. That's going to be really tough. Is there anything else you'd like?"
   The man responds, "Well, I'd really like it if my wife would voluntarily 
give me a blowjob once a month."
   The genie paused a second, and said "...Can I see that map again?"

Macintosh Airlines:  All the ticket counters look the same, the
terminals look the same, the baggage handlers look the same as the
pilots.  When you inquire as to why, you're told, "Sit down, shut 
up, you don't need to know, please enjoy the ride."

Windows 3.1 Airlines:  The terminals are nice, the clerks are friend-
ly.  The flight leaves on time and the take off is uneventful...
then the pilot mumbles something about "general protection fault" and 
the plane explodes, falling out of the sky in a fiery ball.
 
Unix Airlines:  Every passanger arrives at the gate with a piece of 
the plane.  A large disagreement then starts over what type of plane 
to build and where to fly it to.
 
Next Airlines:  The passengers assemble on the runway in the shape of
a plane and make whoooshing noises.
 
OS/2 Airlines:  Looks and feels like Windows 3.1, clean, comfortable,
friendly service...but with no destinations or departing flights...??

DOS Airlines:  The passenger finds a note at the gate to "Board the
Plane."   After doing so, he finds a shrink wrapped user's guide on the 
pilot seat.
 
Windows 95 Airlines:  After a long, tedious, flight preparation ritual
and probing baggage check during which his wallet goes missing, the
passanger boards the plane, enjoys the in-flight movie (after spending 
an hour with technical support), lands and de-planes only to discover 
he is standing at the ticket counter for MAC Airlines and the year is
1984!

I leave you with a quick review of "How To Make An American Quilt".

I'll say this as many times as I can and be happy to repeat until I'm
blue in the face.  I love the return of the classic cinema drama.
This movie was so sincerely touching that stavros' signifigant other
was leaking from the tear ducts the entire second half of the movie.  
With Maya Angelou, Ann Bancroft, Winnona Ryder, Samnatha Mathis, Claire 
Daines, and "that girl who plays the old-becky-and-now-the-new-becky on 
Rosanne" you've got a cast that will sweep you away.  This is definitely 
a Full Price.  (and quite a date movie IF you can get a date...)
