The Ostrich
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The
waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a
coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?"
"I'll have the same," says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will Be $9.40
please"
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man Says, "A
hamburger, fries and a coke."
The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again.
"The usual?" Asks the waitress.
"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a
salad," says the man.
"Same," says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62."
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on
the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, Sir. How
do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every
time?"
"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found
an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put
my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would ask for a million
dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long
as you live!"
"That's right. Whether it's a litre of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact
money is always there," says the man.
The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?"
The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with
a big ass and long legs who agrees with everything I say.."

A Good Day
A Hell of a Day
I was sitting there at the bar staring at my drink when a large,
trouble-making biker named Ruben steps up next to me, grabs my drink and
gulps it down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" He says menacingly,
as I burst into tears. "This is the worst day of my life," I say.
"I'm a complete failure.”
I was late to a meeting, and my boss fired me.
When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen, and I don't have any insurance.
I left my wallet in the cab I took home.
I found my wife with another man...
and then my dog bit me.
So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all.
"I buy a drink, I drop a cyanide capsule in, and I sit here watching the poison dissolve..............…
and then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!
But hell, enough about me,
how are you doing?

Three Way!
Last night, I ended up with an older woman at the sports bar.
She looked pretty good for a 60-year old. In fact, she wasn't too bad at all and soon
I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.
We drank a bit, we had a bit of a snuggle ... and then she asked me if I ever had a "Sportsman's Double?"
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's a mother and daughter threesome," she said.
"Oh..." I said as my mind began to embrace the idea. "No, I haven't." I said.
We drank a bit more, then she says, with a wink, "well tonight is your lucky night."
We went back to her place. We walked in. She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs:
"Mom....you still awake?"

RED ZONE JOKE
A kid comes home from school and
says to his mom, "Mom I've got a
problem." She asks him what it is.
He tells her that the boys at school are
using 2 words he doesn't understand so
she asks him what they are.
He says "Well, pussy and bitch".
She says, "Oh that's no big deal; a
pussy is a cat like our little Mittens,
and a bitch is a female dog like our
Sandy."
He thanks her and goes to visit his dad
who's watching TV in the living room.
He says to his dad, "Dad, the boys at
school are using words I don't know,
and I asked mom and I don't think she
told me the right meanings."
Dad says "Son, I told you never to go
to your mom with this stuff. What are
the words?"
He tells him...pussy and bitch.
Dad says "OK" and pulls a Playboy
magazine down from the shelf, takes a
marker and circles the crotch of a
naked model and says, "Son, everything
inside this circle is a pussy."
"OK dad, so what's a bitch?"
"Son" he says, "everything outside that
circle."

All About Eve
EVE'S SIDE OF THE STORY
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. 'So, how is everything going?' inquired God.
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. 'So, how is everything going?' inquired God.
'It
is all so beautiful, God,' she replied. 'The sunrises and sunsets are
breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful,
but I have just one problem.
It's these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain.'
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. She felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more 'symmetrically balanced'.
'That's a fair point,' replied God, 'But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away.'
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
' Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?'
'Just fantastic,' she replied, 'But for one oversight. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.'
God thought for a moment and said, 'You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Let's see....where did I put that useless Boob?'

New Jersey Buzzard! Damn U!
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey communities from one end of the
state to the other have strung up vulture carcasses this winter to drive
away flocks of the damaging buzzards.
On Monday, federal wildlife officials hoisted a dead black vulture about 30 feet up a tree in the backyard of a home in Bridgewater, a suburb of 45,000 about 40 miles west of New York City.
Wildlife officials say it's a sure-fire way to stop buzzards from roosting in the area.
Residents of one Bridgewater neighborhood have counted at least 100 vultures roosting in a handful of pine trees nearby. They've been leaving behind foul-smelling and acidic droppings on lawns and roofs.
Vulture carcasses have been strung up in at least a half-dozen other New Jersey locations this winter.

the Jewish Conversion
Around the year 900, about 1,113 years ago, the Pope decreed that all the
Jews had to convert to Catholicism or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry
from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal: he'd have a religious
debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won the debate ,
they could stay in Italy ; if the Pope won, all the Jewish people would have
to convert or leave.
The Jewish people met and picked an aged and wise Rabbi to represent them in
the debate. However, as the Rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no
Yiddish, all agreed that it would be a 'silent' debate.
On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi sat opposite each other.
The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
The Rabbi looked back and raised one finger.
Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head.
The Rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.
The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.
The Rabbi pulled out an apple.
With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself clearly beaten, and said
that the Rabbi was too clever. The Jews could stay in Italy .
Later the Cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened.
The Pope said, "Firstly, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity.
The Rabbi responded by holding up a single finger to remind me there is
still only ONE God who is common to both our faiths.
Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God was all around
us.
The Rabbi responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also
RIGHT HERE with us.
I pulled out the wine and host to show that through the perfect sacrifice,
Jesus has atoned for our sins, but the Rabbi pulled out an apple to remind
me of the ORIGINAL SIN. He beat me at every move, and I could not continue."
Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered to ask the Rabbi how he'd managed
to win.
"I haven't a clue," said the Rabbi. "First, he told me that we had three
days to get out of Italy , so I gave him the finger.
Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews, but I told
him emphatically that we were staying right here."
"And then what?" asked a woman.
"Who knows?" said the Rabbi. "He took out his lunch, so I took out mine."

Do U Have KIDZ
When people ask me if I have kids, I look at them blankly. I think back to the sort of child I was. I remember how my parents, Mattie and Frankie, were pure gold. But, and it's a big 'but,' I was in a modern stone age family and felt the crush of overpopulation at a very early age. So, I went into real estate because I figured everybody needs their own house, right?

The Speed of You in the Universe cycles upward...
Moore's law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Moore's law is the observation that over the history of computing hardware, the number of components on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as "18 months" is due to Intel
executive David House, who predicted that period for a doubling in chip
performance (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and
their being faster).[1]The law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who described the trend in his 1965 paper.[2][3][4] The paper noted that the number of components in integrated circuits had doubled every year from the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 until 1965 and predicted that the trend would continue "for at least ten years".[5] His prediction has proven to be uncannily accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.[6]
The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras.[7] All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well (see Other formulations and similar laws). This exponential improvement has dramatically enhanced the impact of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy.[8] Moore's law describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[9][10]
This trend has continued for more than half a century. Sources in 2005 expected it to continue until at least 2015 or 2020.[note 1][12] However, the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has growth slowing at the end of 2013,[13] after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every three years.

by natural genetic downward evolution through constant spineless
posturing,
and spasmatic upper limb gestures,
which new research has
shown to cause shorter legs and an inability to ambulate other than in
an awkward shuffling gait.
The "drag-crotch" shape also seems to effect

Unfortunately most are highly fertile.

FART Football
A married couple no sooner hit the pillows when… – Buckle up BitchAn old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, ‘Seven Points.’
His wife rolls over and says, ‘What in the world was that?’ The old man replied, ‘its fart football.’A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, ‘Touchdown, tie score…’
After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, ‘Aha. I’m ahead 14 to 7.’
Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, ‘Touchdown, tie score.’
Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, ‘Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.’ Now the pressure is on for the old man.
He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he’s got, and accidentally poops in the bed.
The wife says, ‘What the hell was that?’
The old man says, ‘Half time, switch sides

This just in...the Color of Shit
Reporting for "doody," Dr. Ellie Sattler plunges her
hand into a pile of brontosaurus stool to find out what's ailing the
sick old beast in Jurassic Park. She could have spared herself the up-close and personal if she had known how to read poop color.
When your body's gastrointestinal tract isn’t functioning correctly, stool colors can tell you what's going on in your insides and whether you might have bowel problems. Here's a guide:
Constipated? Try these tricks to get to the bottom of your bowel troubles.
Do you have bashful bowel syndrome? Here's what to do.
When your body's gastrointestinal tract isn’t functioning correctly, stool colors can tell you what's going on in your insides and whether you might have bowel problems. Here's a guide:
- Medium brown is the color of healthy poop. Keep your gastrointestinal system running smoothly with these rules for regularity.
- Pale, gray, clay-like stool suggests a liver problem. Bile from the liver is what makes stools brown; not enough and you get ashy shades indicating anything from gallstones to hepatitis, pancreatitis to cirrhosis.
- Black or dull red stool sounds scary, but is often related to food or meds. You may see black after consuming black licorice, blueberries, iron pills, or diarrhea medication. (Call your doc if you see tarry black poop, which can be a sign of bleeding in the upper intestines or even the stomach.) And red? That may come from beets and tomatoes.
- Green stools aren't just for St. Patrick's Day, although they can be from celebratory beer (it's the green dye). Greenies can also come from eating lots of green vegetables or taking iron or certain medications.
- Bloody or maroon/red poop is most often caused by hemorrhoids but red poop can also be from intestinal bleeding, so call your doc.
