Is it just me or is there a problem here...when a celebrity gets nailed for
some-
thing...everyone and their uncle knows about it...they end up showing the video
on Entertainment Tonight and their picture gets plastered all over the
papers...
recent examples? Diana Ross gets busted for impaired driving, the premier of
British Columbia, Canada gets busted for impaired driving while vacationing in
Hawaii, Pete Townsend (of The Who) gets busted in that child porn sweep that
is ongoing! Now I realize that all of these people deserve what they get
(if they
are guilty)...but why does the rest of the world give a rat's ass about
it? These
three examples...and there are many more (OJ Simpson, Robert Blake, etc) ...
only capture our attention because of WHO they are and not because of WHAT
they have done! If your neighbour was accused of any of the same crimes that
these people are accused of...it probably wouldn't even make the 6 o'clock news
locally...and most certainly NOT national or international news! So the
question
is: "Is WHO you are more important than WHAT you have done?" IMHO that
should NOT be the case!

[A classic]
A gentleman owns a stud farm, and gets a call from a friend, who
tells him, "I know this midget with a speech impediment who wants
to buy a horse and I'm sending him over."
The midget arrives, and the owner asks if he wants a male or female
horse.
"A female horth", the midget replies. So the owner shows him one.
"Nith looking horth, can I thee her mouf?" The owner picks him up
and shows him the horses mouth.
"Nice mouf. Can I thee her eyeth?" The owner picks up the midget
and shows him the horses eyes.
"OK, what about the eerth?"Now the owner is getting pissed, but he
picks up the midget one more time and shows him the horses ears.
"OK, finally, can I thee her twat?" With that the owner picks up
the midget and shoves his head in the horses vagina, then pulls him
out.
Shaking his head the midget says, "Perhapth I thould rephrathe
that. Can I thee her wun awownd?"

A honeymooning couple had purchased a talking parrot and taken it
to their room, where much to the groom's annoyance, the bird kept
up a running commentary on their love-making.
Finally the groom threw a large towel over the cage and threatened
to give the parrot to the zoo if he didn't quit it.
The next morning, packing to return home, the couple couldn't close
a large suitcase. The groom said, "Darling, you get on top and I'll
try." That didn't work. Figuring they needed more weight on the lid,
she said, "Sweetheart, you get on top and I'll try." Still no success.
Then he said, "Look. Let's both get on top and try." At that
point the parrot pulled away the towel with his beak and said,
"Zoo or no zoo, this, I gotta see!"

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE BLEAT

There is obviously money to be made from impersonating the voices of famous
people on answering machines.
If you are a handy impersonator all you have to do is pretend you are
George Bush or John Howard and say something silly.
"John Howard here. If that's my close personal friend George again, crikey
it's midnight here in Australia and I am counting sheep. But I did like you
said, and have despatched our troops to the Gulf. Please leave a message
after my bleat and I will answer it as soon as I wake up to myself and pull
the wool back from over my eyes."
I have had a lot people arrive at my web site these past months looking for
"Funny Answering Machines." According to my tracking stats they are sent my

Who's In China
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That's what I want to know.
Condi: That's what I'm telling you.
George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow's name.
Condi: Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Condi: Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
George: No you didn't. (Bush realizes that he is talking to a woman of
obvious lower intelligence and decides to play the fatherly role). Look
Condi, it is ok not to know who is leading China. I don't either and I am
the President of the United States. So it is OK. Now for the last time,
find out. Who is leading China?
Condi: Yes, you got it. That's the man's name.
George: That's who's name?
Condi: Yes. Hu.
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle
East.
Condi: That's correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China,
and since you don't know, get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the
phone. Maybe he'll know.
Condi: Kofi?
George: No, thanks, I hate caffeine this time of the day. And stop making
fun of the Chinamen's accent. This is not funny.
Condi: You want Kofi?
George: No. For crying out loud can't you hear me?
Condi: You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And
then get me the U.N.
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi: No, Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stop trying to ask me. I told you I don't know.
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi: Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should
send some to the guy in China. And then send some coffee to the Middle
East. Do they have coffee in the Middle East?

I was interviewing a jeweler for a story I was writing
on giving new life to old jewelry, and I asked him to
tell me about his most memorable client.
"It was a divorced woman who had me make a pair of
earrings from her inscribed wedding band," he
remembered. "One earring read, 'with all,' and the
other, 'my love.'
When I asked why she had wanted it done that
way, she answered, 'To remind me that the next time
anyone says that to me, I should let in go in one ear
and out the other.'"

A sailor was caught AWOL as he tried to sneak on board his ship at
about 3 am.
The chief petty officer spied him and ordered the sailor to stop. Upon
hearing the sailor's lame explanation for his tardiness, the officer
ordered the sailor, "Take this broom and sweep every link on this anchor
chain by morning or it's the brig for you!"
The sailor picked up the broom and commenced performing his charge. As
he began to sweep, a tern landed on the broom handle. The sailor yelled
at the bird to leave, but it didn't.
The lad picked the tern off the broom handle and, giving the bird a
toss. The bird left, only to return and light once again on the broom
handle.
The sailor went through the same routine all over again, with the same
result. He couldn't get any cleaning done because he could only sweep at
the chain once or twice before the blasted bird returned.
When morning came, so did the chief petty officer, to check up on his
wayward sailor.
"What in the heck have you been doing all night? This chain is no
cleaner than when you started! What have you to say for yourself,
sailor?" barked the chief.
"Honest, chief," came the reply, "I tossed a tern all night and
couldn't sweep a link!"

My apprehension lightened a bit when the woman assured me that

shades were up. Upon closer inspection, he notices Buzz's wife in the
act of performing oral sex.
The very next day Sam calls out to Buzz, "Hey, Buzz, I saw your wife

Turner was at home when the call came and Mullen allegedly
made "sexually explicit remarks for 15 to 20 minutes".
When officers got to Mullen's house they found him asleep
but still holding a phone.
Chief Turner had stayed on the line and was able to hear
Mullen snoring, according to the News Channel5.

I received a call one weekend to respond to a lover's
quarrel gone horribly awry. We ended up arresting a guy
for stabbing his girlfriend and his cousin (one person -
his girlfriend was his cousin). When we got to the
station, I read him Miranda and asked him if he under-
stood his rights. He said he did.
Then I said, "Having these rights in mind, do you wish to
make a statement about what happened?"
He confidently said," No way, man...I ain't stupid. I ain't
making no statement...I mean, I DID STAB HER, but I ain't
dumb enough to make a statement about it."
He was found guilty.

Reverse Flush
by Dave Glardon
When I first started writing, I promised myself I'd
never write anything that could embarrass a member of
my family, especially one who has significant control
of my sex life. That's not always easy, especially
when the story is so good. But a man has to stand by
his principles.
So once upon a time (it may have been yesterday), this
woman (who looks nothing like my wife) was seated on
the throne, taking care of some personal business.
Use your imagination.
Then it happened. It began with a rumbling deep
inside. As the tremors got louder, the cats ran for
cover, and the woman (who looks nothing like my wife)
tried to avoid the inevitable. But the laws of nature
can't be defied.
Okay, certain sounds are to be expected in the
bathroom, and I don't make a habit of discussing them.
Well, not in public. But when the sounds come from
the wrong end of the plumbing, they tend to grab your
attention.
She tried to move, but it was too late. With a belch
and a pop, our toilet transformed itself into a bidet.
I wasn't there to see it, but I can't think of many
things that would make my wife (you knew it all along)
move faster.
As the popping continued, my wife improvised. The
seat lid, normally used to keep stuff from falling
into the toilet, became a makeshift blast deflector to
keep stuff in. We're talking about nasty stuff.
Somebody else's.
Naturally, her first instinct was to run to the lowest
floor and hide beneath the stairs. She sometimes gets
her emergencies confused. Here's a tip. When bad
things are popping out of the sewer, get on top of the
heavy furniture, not under it.
Half of our basement is carpeted, and the other half
isn't. Now I know why. The side without carpet has a
floor drain. Well, it's usually a drain. It also
functions pretty well as a cannon. According to my
wife, it was launching you-know-what three feet into
the air.
So here I am at work minding my own business, when the
phone rings. "Dave, we have a big-time problem!"
Dave? Dave who? No hablo Ingles.
I'm sorry, but "we" doesn't necessarily have to
include "me," especially when I'm safe at work where
things are flushing in the proper direction. I
assumed she was referring to herself and the man from
Roto Rooter.
But if she insists on involving me, she should at
least present all the facts, even if they are a bit
embarrassing. Never mind what this week's column will
be about.
She told me the drains were backing up, and things
we'd normally send to the wastewater treatment plant
were taking a detour through the basement.
So I envisioned my youngest daughter flushing half a
roll of toilet paper into a pipe that's not much
larger than the cargo it's intended to carry. Not to
pick on her, but Godzilla uses less paper after a
night at Taco Bell.
Once we'd agreed that I wasn't coming home to enjoy
the show, my wife called a plumber. Then she called
me back and offered a little more information.
"It blew out of the toilet, too?"
Yes, she had neglected to make that point clear. Then
she described the awful smell that accompanied it.
How bad was it?
"Worse than anything you've ever done."
Then it all made sense. The problem was a pressure
buildup in the sewer. A quick phone call confirmed my
suspicions. Yes, they were working on the sewer. No
problem.
"But it's shooting three feet out of the basement
drain!"
"It'll do that," the clerk replied nonchalantly. "I'd
stand aside if I were you."
The eruptions ceased after a few minutes and my wife
called to update me on the situation. Damage was
limited to a small area around the floor drain, but
the toilet lid was a total loss.
Finally I realized there was one last thing I'd
forgotten to ask.
"Were you sitting on the seat when it happened?"
Like I said, a man has to stand by his principles, and
I can't write anything that would embarrass my wife.
One thing is for sure, though. That initial blast
didn't travel very far.
