Better Friday Humor

2008-10-01 Thread Marty.Thorin
Since we do not seem to be able to avoid politics, I offer, again, a
better joke.

Mary Poppins' Hotel Stay

Mary Poppins was driving home late at night in some really bad weather
when she decided to spend the night in a motel. After signing in, she
asked if the dining room was open, and the clerk apologized, but offered
the room service menu, from which Mary Poppins selected the cauliflower
cheese. She also decided she would have breakfast in bed in the morning
and asked for poached eggs.   In the morning the clerk asked how she
liked the cauliflower cheese and the poached eggs.  Mary Poppins said
the cauliflower cheese was good but the eggs weren't much.  The clerk
apologized but suggested the Mary Poppins might like to leave a comment
in their suggestion ledger.  After some thought Mary Poppins made an
entry and was on her way.  Being a curious type, the clerk looked to see
what she wrote, and was amused by the entry

Heh. 
 
I know it is Saturday but I didn't read this until today so I hope you'll all 
forgive a better late than never friday humor.
 
--
 
It seems that there was a place out in the Nevada desert where there existed a 
long stick that stuck up from the Earth at an angle. One day a snake was 
slitering past and a voice boomed out Don't touch the lever! The snake looked 
around and thought to himself, Why Not?
 
Because that lever is the brake for the world. If it is pulled it will stop 
the Earth and all on it will die! said the voice. The snake looked puzzled.
 
For the sake of the joke, I'll give you the ability to speak. said the voice
 
Thanks! said the snake. My name's Nate. Who are you?
 
Nevermind that, Nate. Can I trust you to warn other passerbys about the lever?
 
Certainly! You can count on me! said Nate.
 
Some time later a trucker was barrelling down the road near the lever and 
happened to get a flat tire. As he walked around his truck he spotted the lever 
and walked over to take a look at it.
 
Don't touch the lever! a voice said.
 
Who said that? said the trucker.
 
I did. And Nate slithered out from behind a bush. He explained the entire 
story of the lever to the trucker and the trucker nodded, wished Nate luck, and 
went to fix his truck.
 
A few weeks later the same trucker was barrelling down the same road when he 
had another tire go flat. This one, however, was a violent blowout and he lost 
control of his rig and went veering off the road. He saw that he was heading 
right for the lever and saw Nate sitting next to it. With all of his strength 
he managed to turn the wheel just enough so that it ran over the snake and not 
the lever.
 
The trucker jumped out and ran to see if Nate was alright. Sadly, poor little 
nate had been squashed by the tire. I'm so sorry, little buddy! said the 
trucker.
 
Then a voice boomed out: Better Nate than lever.

Knowing how many people cringe at politics, I felt a better joke was needed. 

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle 
of the road.  He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit 
jumps right in front of the car.  The driver, a sensitive man as well as an 
animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.  
Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.  A beautiful blonde 
woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and 
pulls over.  She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.  I feel 
terrible, he explains,  I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it.

The blonde says, Don't worry.  She runs to her car and pulls out a 
spray can.  She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the 
contents onto the rabbit.

The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down 
the road.  Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again.  He 
hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, 
turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out 
of sight.

The man is astonished!  He runs over to the woman and demands, What is 
in that can?  What did you spray on that rabbit?  The woman turns the can 
around so that the man can read the label.

It says, Hair Spray - Restores life to dead hair, adds permanent wave.
