Three sons of a Yiddish Mama left their homeland, went abroad and prospered. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their old mother. 

Abraham, the first, said: "I built a big house for our mother." 

Moishe, the second, said: "I sent Mama a Mercedes with a driver." 

David, the youngest, said: "You remember how our mother enjoys reading the Bible. Now she can't see very well. I sent her a remarkable parrot that
recites the whole Bible -- Mama just has to name the chapter and verse." 

Soon thereafter, a letter of thanks came from their mother. "Abraham," she said, "The house you built is so huge. I live only in one room, but I have to clean the whole house." 

"Moishe," she said, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. And that driver has shpilkas -- he's a
pain in the tuchas!" 

"But David," she said, "The chicken was DELICIOUS!"

naked?"
The daughter responds: "This is the dress of love."

When the mother returns home, she strips naked and waits for her

A farmer was taking his buffalo and a new born calf to sell in the market.
On the way Florentino, that was his name, got waylaid by bandits who beat him up, stripped him and tied him to a tree. Then taking the buffalo and
Florentino's clothes, the bandits escaped. However, they left the newborn calf behind. Poor Florentino suffered for two days, he stood tied to a tree, stark naked and hungry. 

Fortunately, on the third day, some folks from his village happened to pass by. They recognized him and untied him. As they did, Florentino picked up a huge stick and started thrashing the calf with it. "Why are you thrashing the poor calf?" , the villagers exclaimed. To which Florentino replied " I have been telling this son-of-a-bitch for the past two days that I am not your mother, I am not your mother....!!"

Tiger With An Ego Problem
-------------------------

There was this tiger who wakes up one morning and just feels great. He
feels so frisky, he goes out and corners a small monkey. He roars at
him, "Who is the mightiest of all the jungle animals, pip squeek!?!" 

And this poor quaking little monkey replies, "You are, of course, no
one is mightier than you." Just what the tiger wants to hear. A little
while later, the the tiger sees a deer. He walks up, confronts it, and
just bellows out in the deer's face, "Who is the greatest and strongest
of all the jungle animals, meek one!?!!" The deer is shaking so hard it
can barely speak, but still manages to stammer, "Oh great tiger, you
are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle." 

The tiger, being on a roll, meanders on down the trail. Not very much
time goes by till the tiger spots an elephant in a cluster of trees. 
Wasting no time, he swaggers up to the elephant who is quietly munching
on some weeds. He looks him right in the eye and roars at the top of
his voice, "Who is the mightiest of all the animals in the jungle, snout face!?!?!!" 
Well the elephant don't play that. He grabs the tiger with his trunk,
picks him up, slams him down, picks him up again, and shakes the crap
outta him until the tiger is just a blur of orange and black. To finish
the performance, old snout face throws the poor tiger violently into a
nearby tree. The tiger, in a world of deep hurt, manages to stagger to
his feet after a few minutes. He looks at the elephant with blurred
vision and says, "Man, just because you don't know the answer, you
don't have to get so pissed!"

Dying On Duty
-------------

It has been brought to the attention of the management of this company
that many employees have been dying while on duty for no good reason.
Furthermore, it also appears that some employees are refusing to fall
over after they have died. This, in some cases, has resulted in
unearned overtime payments which are not provided for under our
employee benefit program.

Effective immediately, this practice must be discontinued!

On and after today, any employee found sitting up after he/she has died
will be dropped from the payroll at once, without further investigation. 
This action is covered by Company Regulation #20 (non-productive labor).

When it can be proven that the employee is being held up by a desk,
typewriter, drawing board, telephone, or any other means of support
which is the property of the company, a one (1) day period of grace will be granted.

In the event of apparent death, the following procedure will be strictly adhered to:

1. If, after several hours, it is noted that any employee has not moved
or opened at least one eye, the department head will investigate.
Because of the highly sensitive nature and/or origin of some employees
and of the close resemblance between death and their normal working
attitude, the investigation will be made quietly so as to avoid waking
the employee if he/she is asleep (which is, of course, permitted under present union contracts).

2. If some doubt still exists as to the true condition of the
employee, a pay cheque will be used as the final test. If the employee
fails to reach for the cheque, it is reasonable to assume that death
has occurred. Note that in some cases the instinct is so strongly
developed that a spastic clutching may occur even after death; do not
be misled by this manifestation.

3. In the event that an employee fails to abandon whatever he/she is
doing at Coffee Break time, no investigation is necessary as this is
conclusive proof that rigor mortis has already set in.

Best regards,

- The Management

Horseback Riding 
----------------
A man decides to try horseback riding, even though he has had no
lessons or prior experience. He mounts the horse unassisted and the
horse immediately springs into motion.

It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the man begins to
slip from the saddle. In terror, he grabs for the horse's mane but
cannot seem to get a firm grip. He tries to throw his arms around the
horse's neck, but he slides down the side of the horse anyway. The
horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider.
Finally, giving up his tentative grip, he leaps away from the horse to
try and throw himself to safety. Unfortunately, his foot has become
entangled in the stirrup and he is now at the mercy of the horse's
pounding hooves as his head is battered against the ground, he is mere
moments away from 
unconsciousness when to his great fortune................

the Wal-Mart manager sees him and shuts the horse off.

A humble crab fell in love with Princess Lobster and she with him.
They enjoyed an idyllic relationship but one day Princess Lobster came to
Crab in floods of tears saying that King Lobster could not let her see Crab  anymore.
"But why?" gasped the humble crab.
"Daddy says that crabs are too common," sobbed the princess 
"You're a lower class of crustacean, and anyway you walk sideways"  
Crab was shattered and scuttled away to drink himself into forgetfulness.

That night was the occasion of the great Lobster ball.
Lobsters came from far and near for feasting and merrymaking. Princess 
Lobster, however, sat by her father's side, inconsolable.

Suddenly, the doors flew open. It was the humble crab. Slowly, 
painstakingly, he made his way to the throne - walking dead straight, one claw after another.

A silence gathered round the room.
All the Lobsters' eyes fell on the intruder
Step by painful step he approached until he looked King Lobster in the eye. 
 There was a deadly hush. Finally Crab spoke up:

-
"Fuck, I'm pissed!!"

NICKNAMES:
If Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle go out for lunch, they will call
each other Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle. But if Mike, Phil, Rob
and Jack go out for a brewsky, they will affectionately refer to each
other as Bullet-Head, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.

EATING OUT:
And when the check comes, Mike, Phil, Rob and Jack will each throw in
$20 bills, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have
anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators.

BATHROOMS:
A man has six items in his bathroom -- a toothbrush, shaving cream,
razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The
average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man
would not be able to identify most of these items.

GROCERIES:
A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes out to the store
and buys these things. A man waits till the only items left in his
fridge are half a lime and a beer. Then he goes grocery shopping. He
buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout
counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on Beverly
Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the
10-items-or-less lane.

SHOES:
When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit, then
slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic
bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress
shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are
under the desk. A man will wear the same pair of shoes all day.

CATS:
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking,
men kick cats. (Yes!)

OFFSPRING:
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about
dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and
favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely
aware of some short people living in the house.

DRESSING UP:
A woman will dress up to: go shopping, water the plants, empty the
garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress
up for: weddings, funerals.

LAUNDRY:
Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article of
clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight
years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of
clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and
take his mountain of clothes to the Laundromat. Men always expect to
meet beautiful women at the Laundromat. This is a myth perpetuated by
re-runs of old episodes of "Love, American Style."

WEDDINGS:
When reminiscing about weddings, women talk about "the ceremony." Men
talk about "the bachelor party."

Echos on the Mountains

When Hans and Jan were young, their high school teacher
had read them stories about the magic of the mountains
in the south: if you shouted or fired a shot then -
a few seconds later - back came an echo.
They decided to spend a summer vacation travelling to
the south to hear this magical effect first hand.

The journey south was scary and took more than a week.
They just could not keep up with the BMWs and Mercs
on the autobahn - their bicycles only had three gears,
one of which was reverse. Eventually, though,
the foothills of the mountains.

Jan said: Hans, shoot. Hans shot. They listened. No echo.
Perhaps we're not high enough said Hans. Carrying their bicycles on 
their backs (East Frisian bicycles are not certified for mountains) 
they climbed higher.
Jan said: Hans, shoot. Hans shot. They listened. Again no echo.
Higher and higher they went - stopping and shooting at every stop. 
Still no echo.
Eventually they were almost at the summit ...
Jan said: Hans, shoot.
Replied Hans: Jan, you better shout this time. I've got no arrows left !

Wrong Card
----------
On opening his new store, a man received a bouquet of flowers. He
became dismayed on reading the enclosed card, that it expressed "Deepest Sympathy". 
While puzzling over the message, his telephone rang. It was the florist, apologizing for having sent the wrong card. 

"Oh, it's alright." said the storekeeper. "I'm a businessman and I understand how these things can happen." 

"But," added the florist, "I accidentally sent your card to a funeral party." 

"Well, what did it say?" ask the storekeeper. 

"'Congratulations on your new location'." was the reply.

Kangaroo's night out
--------------------

A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop very high, zoo officials put up a 10ft fence.

He was out the next morning, just roaming around the zoo. A 20ft high fence was erected. Again he got out.

When the fence was 40ft high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, "How high do you think they'll go?"

The kangaroo said, "About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night."

************

The truth is out there...
-------------------------
At school, a boy was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth". The boy decides to go home and try it out. 

He goes home, and as he is greeted by his mother he says, "I know the whole truth." His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth." The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother." 

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day, when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth." The mailman drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your FATHER a big hug."
