Sherlock
Holmes and Doctor Watson went on a camping trip. After a good
meal
and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to
sleep.
Several hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend:
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson
pondered for a moment. "Astronomically, it tells me that there
are
millions of galaxies and billions of planets. Astrologically, I
observe
that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is
approximately
a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is
all
powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically,
I
suspect that tommorrow will be a beautifal day. What does it tell
you?"
Holmes
paused for a moment. "Watson, you stupid!. Some bastard has
stolen
our tent."
Three
women, a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead, were up for the job
of
homicide detective in a police dept.
They
had all scored equally on tests and interviews, and the Chief of
Police
couldn't decide between them.
Finally,
the Chief decided to ask them all one more question.
He
called the brunette in to his office and asked her, "Who killed
Jesus?"
The
brunette thought for a moment and then said, "The Jewish
aristocracy
killed Jesus."
The
Chief thanked her and said that he would make his decision soon.
He
then called in the redhead and asked her, "Who killed Jesus?".
The
redhead replied, "The Romans killed Jesus."
The
Chief thanked her and said that he would make his decision soon.
Then
he called in the blonde and asked her, "Who killed Jesus?".
The
blonde thought for a while, and then asked the Chief if she could
get
back to him in a couple of days.
The
Chief was a little surprised, but decided to give her the time.
That
night the blonde went out to dinner with her boyfriend. He asked
her
how the interview had gone.
The
blonde said, "Interview, hell, I've got my first case!"
The
moral of this coming story - never type an email address from memory.
As
you are receiving my note by e-mail, it's wise to remember how
easily
this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally,
with
serious consequences.
Consider
the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets
of
Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and
was
planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he
decided
to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of
paper
on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it
in
from memory.
Unfortunately,
he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead
to
an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day
before.
When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at
the
monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead
faint.
At
the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the
screen:
Dearest
Wife,
Just
got checked in.
Everything
prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
P.S. Sure it's hot down here.
She
did this several times and her neighbor that was watching her
said,"
you must be expecting a very
important
letter today the way you keep looking into your mail box"..
The
blond answered "no", I am working on my computer and it keeps
telling
me that I have mail."
Did
you hear about the two Blondes that were found frozen to death in
their
car at a
drive-in
movie theater?
They
went to see "Closed for the Winter".
A
wealthy couple had planned to go out for the evening. The
woman
of the house decided to give their butler, Jerves, the rest of the
night
off.
She
said they would be home very late, and that he should just enjoy
his
evening.
As
it turned out, however, the wife wasn't having a good time at
the
party, so she came home early, alone. Her husband had to stay with the
others
since several of his important clients were there.
As
the woman walked into her house, she saw Jerves sitting by
himself
in the dining room. She called for him to follow her, and led him
into
the master bedroom. She then closed and locked the door.
She
looked at him and smiled. "Jerves," she said, "take off my
dress."
He
did this carefully. "Jerves," she continued, "take off my
stockings
and garter." He silently obeyed her. "Jerves," she then said,
remove
my bra and panties." As he did this, the tension continued to mount.
She
looked at him and then said, "Jerves, if I ever catch you
wearing
my clothes again, you're fired!"
A
few days later, six mice are killed in a tragic farming
accident
and go to heaven. Again, there is the Lord there to
great
them with the same offer. The mice answer, "All of our
lives
we have been chased. We have had to run from cats, dogs
and
even women with brooms. Running, running, running; we're
tired
of running. Do you think we could have roller skates so
we
don't have to run anymore?" The Lord says, "Say no more,"
and
fits each mouse with beautiful new roller skates.
About
a week later the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds
him
snoozing on the pillow. The Lord gently wakes the cat and
asks
him, "How are things since you got here?"
The
cat stretches and yawns and replies, "It is wonderful here.
Better
than I could have ever expected. And those 'Meals On Wheels'
you've
been sending by are the best!"
Little
Johnny quickly replied, "NBC, CBS, CNN and the
Cartoon
Network!"

the back of a motorbiker's jacket.
"IF
YOU CAN SEE THIS MY GIRLFRIEND FELL OFF!"
A
young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd rented
a
beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting
there,
he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to
appear
busy, the businessman picked up the phone and started
to
pretend he had a big deal working. He threw huge figures
around
and made giant commitments.
Finally,
he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"
The
man said, "Sure.
I've
come to install the phone!"
Parent: What's that?
Teacher:
With grades like these, he couldn't be cheating.
Did you hear about the psychic amnesiac?
He knew in advance what he was going to forget.
While
crossing the US-Mexican border on his bicycle, the man
was
stopped by a guard who pointed to two sacks the man had on
his
shoulders. "What's in the bags?" asked the guard.
"Sand,"
said the cyclist.
"Drop them here we need to have a look" said the guard.
The
Cyclist did as he was told, emptied the bags, and proving
they
contained nothing but sand, reloaded the bags, put them
on
his shoulders and continued across the border.
Two
weeks later, the same thing happened. Again, the guard
demanded
to see the two bags, which again contained nothing
but
sand. This went on every week for six months, until one
day
the cyclist with the sand bags failed to appear.
A
few days later, the guard happened to meet the cyclist downtown.
"Say
friend, you sure had us crazy", said the guard. "We knew
you
were smuggling something across the border. I won't say a word
but
what is it you were smuggling?"
"Bicycles!"
said the cyclist.

The
man sat in stunned silence for the next several minutes.
Regaining
his composure, he apologetically told his physician
that
he had no medical insurance. "I can't possibly pay you
in
that time."
"Okay,"
the doctor said, "let's make it nine months."
Morris
and Becky were delighted when finally
their
long wait to adopt a baby came to an end.
The
adoption center called and told them they
had
a wonderful Russian baby boy, and the
couple
took him without hesitation...
On
the way home from the adoption center,
they
stopped by the local college so they each
could
enroll in night courses.
After
they filled out the form, the registration
clerk
inquired, "What ever possessed you to
study
Russian?"
The
couple said proudly, "We just adopted a
Russian
baby and in a year or so he'll start to
talk.
We just want to be able to understand him."
A

appear
bright until you hear them speak.
The
guard replies, "They are 3 million, four years, and six
months
old."
"That's
an awfully exact number," says the tourist. "How do you
know
their age so precisely?"
The
guard answers, "Well, the dinosaur bones were three million
years
old when I started working here, and that was four and a
half
years ago."

The
little girl looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are
some
of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her
mother replied, "Well, every time you do something wrong and make
me
cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The
little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then
asked,
"Momma, how come all of grandma's hairs are white?"
Mary: Are you wearing it now?
Dave: Yup. Cost me four thousand dollars, but it's top of the line.
Mary: Wow! What kind is it?
Dave: Twelve-thirty.
