Subject: The Fourth of July (Pun)
 
It was a hot summer's day, and Luke was in the marina, having a few
beers aboard his boat, patriotically named the "Fourth of July." He
was waiting for his friend, Opie, to arrive so they could go for a
cruise.
 
Opie was late, unfortunately, because he had to pick up his wife
from her appointment with the obstetrician. Her examinations were
cheap because the doctor, a fellow named Juan, was Opie's cousin.
Anyway, the appointment went over time, and Opie was late getting
to the marina.
 
Luke had been drinking all this time, and was feeling no pain. When
he saw Opie finally walking down the pier, he jumped up, staggered
to the side of the boat to wave to his friend, and nearly fell in!
Opie got there just in time to grab Luke.
 
... Thus, it was that O. B. Juan's kin, Opie, saved Luke from
falling to the dock side of the Fourth.

Subject: Insults for the Egotist
 
Yesterday I provided a few hints on identifying egotists and
their general behavior.  Today, here's a few ways to at least
put a dent in their swelled heads:
 
 
* _______ always enters a room voice first
 
* _______ has had a great love affair for years -- unassisted
 
* One thing about _______, he's always me-deep in conversation
 
* _______'s problem is he's going thru life with his horn stuck
 
* It wouldn't do one bit of good to for ________ to see himself
  as others do.  He wouldn't believe it anyway
 
* If you've never heard a good word about _______,
  it's only because you haven't talked to him/her
 
* _______ keeps complaining he's not paid what he's worth.
  No wonder, his company would violate the Minimum Wage Law
 
* After listening to _______ extol his virtues, more than ever,
  you're sure that he has that certain nothing
 
* First impressions always count, but in _______'s case
  there's a lot less there than meets the eye
 
* Someone should tell _______ that there's a big difference
  between working up steam and generating a fog
 
* _______ claims he was cut out to be a genius
  too bad no one ever put the pieces together

                        The Golf Pro
 
One day the club duffer challenged the local golf pro to a match,
with a $100 bet on the side. "But," said the duffer, "since you're
obviously much better than I am , to even it a bit you have to spot
me two 'gotchas'." The golf pro didn't know what a 'gotcha' was,
but he went along with it. And off they went.
 
Coming back to the 19th hole, the rest of the club members were
greatly amazed to see the golf pro paying the duffer $100. "What
happened?" asked one of the members. "Well," said the pro, "I was
teeing up for the first hole, and as I brought the club down, the
jerk stuck his hand up between my legs and grabbed my balls while
yelling 'Gotcha!' Have you ever tried to play 18 holes of golf
waiting for the second 'gotcha'?"

                         A Long Shot
 
A guy stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity. Looking
up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind
direction and speed. Driving his partner nuts. Finally his
exasperated partner says, "What's taking so long? Hit the blasted
ball!"
 
The guy answers, "My wife is up there watching me from the
clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot."

"Forget it, man-you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of
hitting her from here!"

Subject: College Football
 
The huge college freshman decided to try out for the football team.
"Can you tackle?" asked the coach.
 
"Watch this," said the freshman, who proceeded to run smack into a
telephone pole, shattering it to splinters.
 
"Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed. Can you run?"
 
"Of course I can run," said the freshman. He was off like a shot,
and, in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash.
 
"Great!" enthused the coach. "But can you pass a football?"
 
The freshman hesitated for a few seconds. "Well, sir," he said, "if
I can swallow it, I can probably pass it."

Subject: Independence Day
         (off to persons with sunburned necks maybe)
 
Many years ago at the age of 14 or so I was on a bus returning home
from a spectacular 4th of July fireworks show. It was a hot, humid
New Jersey night and the bus wasn't moving because it was trapped
in a humongous traffic jam. It was late and tempers were short all
around.
 
At one point I looked out the window and said half to myself half
out loud: "For this we fought a revolution?"
 
A wave of laughter rolled through the bus and the temperature
seemed to cool appreciably. To commemorate that event, here's the
lyrics to "Independence Day".
 
For the tune, call at http://www.twistedtunes.com/
Happy 4th to y'all.
 
 
Independence Day
(c) Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio
 
There's a holiday that celebrates the American way of life.
Gonna have a barbecue with all my children and my wife.
Picked up some cherry bombs at a roadside stand today.
Gonna blow stuff up for freedom; and they can't take that away.
 
If you're proud to be an American
Set your fireworks off with me
And be careful or you'll lose an eye
So hide behind that tree, everybody
 
STAND BACK fifty feet and enjoy this big display
'Cause this stuff is pow'rful contraband.
God bless the USA.

[Fireworks sounds]
 
Got a dozen Roman candles, quarter-sticks of TNT
A box of bottle rockets--I bought 'em legally.
From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to L.A.
There's a fire in every American yard every Independence Day.
 
And I'm loud, I'm free, I'm American
And as proud as I can be
And I'd like to thank the Chinese guy
Who made this stuff for me. Everybody
 
STAND BACK fifty feet just in case it heads your way
'Cause I'd hate to see you lose a hand
[Choral backup] Lose my hand
On Independence Day.
 
[Fireworks sounds]

Subject: Stripper Gave Customer Whiplash  <adult theme>
 
     From the July 2 Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
 
     "Stripper Gave Customer Whiplash, Lawsuit Claims"
       "Bachelor party fun backfired in Florida"
 
   Clearwater, Fla. (AP) -- A man suing a topless club says an
exotic dancer gave him whiplash during his 1996 bachelor party when
she slammed her generous chest into his head.
   "I saw stars," said Paul Shimkonis.  "Aparently she jumped up
and slammed her breasts into my head and just about knocked me out.
It was like two cement blocks hit me."
   Shimkonis said he hurt his neck and back at Diamond Dolls in
Clearwater when Tawny Peaks, who boasts of a 60-HH bust, surprised
him.  He was there with friends on Sept. 27, 1996, for a night out
before his Oct. 5 wedding.
   He said he was too embarrassed to go to the doctor for three
months.  Nearly two years later, he said, he was still in pain and
the club wouldn't pay his medical bills.  So he sued.
   "I can't turn my neck to the right at all.  I have to turn at
the waist." said Shimkonis, 38.  "When I tell people how it
happened, they just laugh.  At work, I just don't tell them
anymore."
   Shimkonis is seeking more than $15,000 in damages in a suit
filed Tuesday in Pinellas County Circuit Court.
   Vinny Radene, a club manager, said he didn't see the incident or
hear about it, but thought the suit was "kind of silly."
