An Arab diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department. The Grand Emir wasn't used to the salt in American food and was constantly sending his man- servant, Abdul, to fetch him a glass of water. Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water. But finally he returned empty-handed. "Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded the Grand Emir. 'A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul,"but a man is sitting on the well."

A biologist had been working on a remote research project in the Amazon jungle. Upon his return to the States, he came down with a terrible illness. After his health had deteriorated, his wife took him to a doctor who specialized in strange jungle diseases. The doctor gave him a complete examination and a series of tests. After receiving the results of the tests, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He told the young biologist's wife, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die." "Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, and generally do anything he asks. Don't discuss your problems with him, as it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim. " If you can do this for the next 10 months or so, I think your husband will regain his health completely. Otherwise...well... He'll probably die" On the way home, the husband asked his wife. "What did the doctor say?" she replied. "Honey...he says you're probably going to die."

"It's So Hot In Texas That..." *The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground. *The potatoes cook underground, and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. *Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs. ================================= "It's So Dry In Texas That..." *The cows are giving evaporated milk. *The trees are whistling for the dogs. *A sad Texan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it - but for my 7-year-old." *A visitor to Texas once asked, "Does it ever rain out here?" A rancher quickly answered "Yes, it does. Do you remember that part in the Bible where it rained for 40 days and 40 nights?" The visitor replied, "Yes, I'm familiar with Noah's flood." "Well," the rancher puffed up, we got about two and a half inches of that." ====================================== "You Know You're In Texas When..." *You no longer associate bridges with water. *You can say 110 degrees without fainting. *You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off. *You can make instant sun tea. *You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. *The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly. *You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car. *You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window. *You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. *Hot water now comes out of both taps. *It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets. *You actually burn your hand opening the car door. *You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work. *No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning. *Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" *You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

The operation Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other, outside the operating room. The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?" The second kid says, "I`m in here to get my tonsils out and I`m a little nervous." The first kid says, "You`ve got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It`s a breeze." The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?" The first kid says, "A circumcision." And the second kid says, "Whoa, I had that done when! I was born. Couldn`t walk for a year."

Is your food spicy Sir? No, smoke always comes out of my ears!

Zen philosophy to "enlighten" your day... Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. No one is listening until you make a mistake. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. Don't squat with your spurs on. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. If you drink, don't park. Accidents cause people. Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield. Good judgement comes from bad experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. A closed mouth gathers no foot. Duct tape is like the force: it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

This hous wife got tired of being alone everyday since her husband was at work and her 3 daughters were in school, so she decided to get a pet to keep her company. She walks into the local pet store and tells him that she wants a talking parrot. The clerk tells her that they do have 1 talking parrot, but that she wouldn't like him. "Why not? " She asks. "Well, he has been around a bit and has picked up some colorful language, and you did say that you have a family," he replied. "Well, my girls are old enough and they've heard it all. Just let me see him." The clerk finally agrees to show the lady the parrot and she insists on purchasing it right away. When she got home she covered the cage with a towel and went to get dinner ready for the family. When she uncovered the cage, "Brawkk!" said the parrot, looking around. "New place. New Madam. Morning Madam." "Uh, morning parrot," she said and then went to make breakfast. A few minutes later her daughters game down stairs, dressed and ready for school. "Brawkk! New place. New Madam. New Girls. Morning Girls." "Morning Parrot," they replied and went to help their mother get breakfast ready. Soon the man of the house came down unshaven and in his bathrobe. "Brawkk! New place. New Madam. New Girls. Same old customers. Morning Phil!"

The car crash Rabbi Bloom and Father Michael get into a car accident and it`s a bad one. Both cars are crushed but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, Rabbi Bloom sees the priest`s collar and says, "Just look at our cars - there`s nothing left, but we`re unhurt. You`re a priest and I`m a rabbi so it must be a sign from God. He must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." Father Michael replies, "I agree with you completely. This truly must be a sign from God." Rabbi Bloom then says, "Look - here`s another miracle. Although my car is wrecked, this bottle of wine didn`t break. God must want us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." He hands the bottle to the priest. Father Michael takes a few big swigs and passes the bottle back to Rabbi Bloom who puts the cork back in and hands it back to the priest. Father Michael asks, "Aren`t you having any wine?" "No. I think I`ll just wait for the police," says Rabbi Bloom.

"Sure," said McGee, "I play well enough to know why they call it 'golf'." Puzzled, Travis asks, "Why do they call it 'golf'?" "Because," replied McGee, "that's the only 4-letter word left!"
