  5. A rather well-proportioned secretary, Joan, spent almost all of her vacation sunbathing on the roof of her hotel. She wore a bathing suit the first day but, on the second, she decided that no one could see her way up there, and she slipped out of it for an overall tan. She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running up the stairs; she was lying on her stomach, so she just pulled a towel over her rear. "Excuse me, miss," said the flustered little assistant manager of the hotel, out of breath from running up the stairs. "The Hilton doesn't mind you sunbathing on the roof but we would very much appreciate you wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday." "What difference does it make?" Joan asked rather calmly. "No one can see me up here, and besides, I'm covered with a towel." "Not exactly," said the embarrassed little man. "You're lying on the dining room skylight."
  6. It was a starry night and the snowflakes drifted down gently. The snowcrust sparkled in the lamplight at the North Pole. Sleigh bells jingled in the distance. It was supposed to be a happy time, but it wasn't. Santa was really pissed off. It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right. Mrs. Claus had burned all the Christmas cookies. The elves were bitching about not getting paid for the overtime they had put in while making toys. And to top it all off, the reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were completely useless. They had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and crashed it into a tree, breaking off one of the runners. They were still stumbling around outside, giggling and shaking their sleigh bells. Santa was redder than usual with anger. He drank another slug of scotch, and then bellowed, "I CAN'T believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a few hours from now and all my reindeer are drunk, my elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree! AND I sent that stupid little angel out HOURS ago to find a tree and he isn't even back yet! What the HELL am I going to do?" Just at that moment, the little angel opened the front door and stepped in from the snowy night, dragging a Christmas tree behind him. He said, "Yo, Santa, where do you want me to stick the Christmas Tree this year?" And thus the tradition of angels perched atop the Christmas trees came to pass.
  7. Once there were three boys Zip, Willy, and Pee and they were all annoying the teacher. Zip was on the top of the cupboard. Willy was inside the cupboard, and Pee was calling the teacher names and hitting her so she got so stressed she shouted ''Zip down! Willy out! Pee in the corner!''
  8. A man walks into a bar. He walk's up to the barman while spitting every few seconds, after everytime he spat he said "good driver!". He asks the barman for a pint while still spitting and saying "good driver", the barman gives the man his drink and asks if he does not mind him asking, what is with all the spitting and why does he keep saying good driver? "You're going to have to stop, your putting the other customers off there drinks." The man appoligises, i'll tell you what happened. I drive a mini and there's a space in your car park and I was going to try to park in, when along comes this big flash corvette, ( the man spits again and says "good driver" ) well I thought no way are you going to get in there "spit, good driver", the driver of the corvette says you want to bet, so I said yeah sure why not!!! If you get that car parked in there i'll give you a blowjob! (spit, "good driver")
  9. A plane crashes on a desert island and only three men survive. As the men come to their senses they see another man approching them, as he gets closer he speaks to them, "There is only one port on this island where you can get a ship to safety" he says, "However, I am a cannibal and i'm hungry so i'm going to make you a deal"... "I'm going to get my dick out and if all three of your dicks put together are of equal size or bigger then i'll guide you to the port, if they are smaller I will kill you all and eat you". All three men readily agree thinking there's no possible way they can lose. As the cannibal gets his dick out, they see it's 20 inches long! The first man of the three gets his out and it's 10 inches long, feeling confident now, the second man gets his 9 inches out. Finally the third man gets his dick out and although its only 1 inch long the trio still win the bet. The cannibal keeps his word and leads them to safety. Sometime later on the boat home the first man begins to brag... "You two are lucky my dick is 10 inches long you know", he says to his companions. They agree and congratulate the man on havin such a long p****. After a while the second man says, "You two are very lucky my dick is 9 inches long or we would of been eaten by that cannibal back there", once again, his two companions agree. As the night nears its end they ask the third man his thoughts on the experience, "All I have to say" begins the third man, "is that you two are damn lucky I had an erection"

  11. Doctor missed 45 stab wounds A doctor called to the death bed of an 87-year-old man failed to notice he had been stabbed 45 times. The doctor, who had several house calls to make, pronounced the cause of death as "old age". The dead man's wife had called the doctor to their house in Riga, Latvia, but according to local media was "too shocked" to tell him what had happened. The doctor presumed the octogenarian had died in his sleep without checking the body. His mistake was only revealed when workers at a funeral parlour in the Latvian capital began to prepare the body for cremation and discovered 45 stab wounds. Police are now questioning the unnamed couple's 33-year-old neighbour in connection with the murder. ananova.com
  12. Ex-women's minister can't hear women's voices Austria's former women's minister has admitted he has a hearing difficulty that means he can't hear women's voices. Herbert Haupt, who was women's minister for three years and is still an MP, revealed his weakness during a Parliamentary debate. After Haupt complained he could not understand a female colleague during a debate, the Parliamentary president Andreas Kohl was forced to ask the woman to repeat her statement with a deeper voice. Haupt admitted that the hearing difficulty meant he could not hear sounds over 3,500 Herz, the range in which many female voices lie. ananova.com
  13. Mayor: 'Stop pestering me for sex' A mayor who set up a direct hotline for people to call with civic problems is asking bored housewives to stop inviting him round for sex.

He said many come straight out and even invite him round for sex, local daily Libertatea reported. Mayor Anghel said: "The number was meant for complaints but some women took it as a sex hotline. "I hear declarations of love and some have even made erotic proposals to me.

  14. Woman found on fire in alley near Colfax By Abigail Chin Denver Post Staff Writer Saturday, November 20, 2004 - A woman was found afire in an alley outside a Denver apartment building Friday night and was hospitalized with severe burns. Neighbors saw the woman in the alley next to 1410 York St. about 8:30 p.m. after hearing what sounded like an explosion. They called 911. "I heard a boom, and I looked out the window, and I saw a big ball of fire," Jim Bird said. When he came outside, he saw "this woman laying there naked, and her clothes were over there laying in a pile." Bird said people batted at the woman with what looked like clothes or blankets to put the fire out. The woman was taken to University Hospital. "She was severely burned," Denver police Sgt. Mark Crowley said. "She was conscious. We didn't learn anything, but she was talking." Police could not tell what started the woman on fire, but the arson investigation unit was at the scene, Crowley said. Neighbors complained that the alley is a hot spot for crime. "All night long you'll see 'em walk up and down the alley" doing crack or buying drugs, Bird said. Crowley said the alley is just half a block south of Colfax Avenue "and it's a Friday night, so this is a pretty busy place," he said.

  16. Virgin Mary Melted Cheese Sandwich Kit For Sale LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- An entrepreneur is trying to make a quick buck off a cheesy do-it-yourself kit that makes grilled cheese sandwiches with the image of the Virgin Mary on them. Christopher Curry posted the Blessed Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary Creation Kit on eBay yesterday (Nov. 17) for an opening bid of $3,500 in response to a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that has been drawing attention on the auction site. The kit comes with a statue of the Virgin, a toaster, two bottles of holy water and instructions for toasting Mary's image on the "sacri-licious" sandwich. Curry also claims the kit has been blessed by a priest and says the buyer can make sandwiches to eat or sell or have a Virgin Mary party. But Curry has his own cross to bear. A few hours after launching the auction, eBay deleted it claiming he was selling food. Curry says he's now petitioning eBay to re-post it as soon as possible. ncbuy.com
