Time for some jokes ~ ~ ~ ~

One I have posted before, but it's a funny one
Thank you Lady Di for sending it.

Exercise for People over 50.

Begin your routine by standing on a comfortable
surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your
arms straight out from your sides and hold them
there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute,
and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position
for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks.
Then try 50-lb potato sacks and eventually work up to
where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand
and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
(I'm currently at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each
of the sacks.
<><>

Another from Lady Di, Thank you.

Due to the climate of political correctness now
pervading America, Kentuckians, Tennesseans and
West Virginians will no longer be referred to as -
"Hillbillies."

You must now refer to them as Appalachian- Americans.
And furthermore . . .

How to speak about women and be politically correct:

1. She is not a "Babe" or a "Chick" - She is a Breasted
American.

2. She is not "Easy"- She is "Horizontally Accessible."

3. She is not a "Dumb Blonde" -- She is a "Light-haired
detour off the information superhighway."

4. She has not "Been Around" She is a "Previously-
Enjoyed Companion.

5. She does not "NAG" you - -She becomes "Verbally
Repetitive."

6. She is not a "Two-Bit Hooker" - - She is a "Low Cost
Provider."

How to speak about men and be politically correct.

1. He does not have a "Beer Gut" -- He has developed
a "Liquid Grain Storage Facility."

2. He is not a "Bad Dancer" -- He is "Overly Caucasian."

3. He does not "Get Lost All the Time" -- He investigates
alternative destinations."

4. He is not "Balding" -- He is in "Follicle Regression."

5. He does not act like a "Total Ass" -- He develops a
case of "Rectal Cranial Inversion."

6. It's not his "Crack" you see hanging out os his pants --
It's "Rear Cleavage."

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a beautiful young
blonde woman wearing a tight leather skirt was waiting
for a bus. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get
on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to
allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step
of the bus.

Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus
driver she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little,
thinking that would give her enough slack to raise her
leg. but found she couldn't reach the step.

So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached
behind to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the
second time, attempted the step,. Once again she could
not raise her leg, much to her chagrin.

With a smile to the driver, she again reached behind
her to unzip a little more, but was still unable to take
the step.

About this time, a large bloke who was standing
behind her, picked her up easily by the waist and
placed her gently on the step of the bus.

She went ballistic and turned to the would- be
Samaritan and screeched, "How dare you touch my
body? I don't even know you."

The bloke smiled and said, "Well, ma'am, normally
I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my
fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends."

A circus owner runs an ad for a lion tamer and two
people turn up.
One is a good-looking, older retired navy chief in his
mid 60 s and the other is a gorgeous blonde in her 20 s.

The circus owner tells them, "I'm not going to sugar-
coat it. "This is one ferocious lion. He ate my last
tamer so you guys better be good or you're history.
Here's your equipment . . . chair, whip. and a gun.
Who wants to try first ?"

The blonde says : "I'll go first."

She walks past the chair, the whip and the gun and
steps right into the lion's cage. The lion starts to
snarl and begins to charge her.

About halfway there, she throws open her coat,
revealing her beautiful body. The lion stops dead
in his tracks, sheepishly crawls up to her and starts
licking her feet and ankles. He continues to lick
and kiss her entire body for several minutes and
then rests his head on her feet.

The circus owner's mouth is on the floor. He says,
"I've never seen a display like that in my life."

He then turns to the retire chief and asks : "Can
you top that ?"
The tough old chief replies, "No problem, just get
that lion out of the way."

Understanding Engineers ~ ~ ~

What is the difference between mechanical engineers
and civil engineers ?

Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil
engineers builds targets.
<><>

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does
it work ?"
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How
does it work ?"
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How
much will it cost ?"
The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want
fries with that ?"

Next one was sent by my friend Linda, Thank you.

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and
order "Chicken Surprise" The waiter brings the meal,
served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the
pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady eyes
looking around before the lid slams back down.

"Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband.
He hadn't so she asks him to look in the pot.

He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees
two little eyes looking around before it slams down.

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains
what is happening, and demands an explanation.

"Please sir," says the waiter, "What you order?"
The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise."

"Ah . . . so velly solly," says the waiter, "I bring
you peeking - duck."
