It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 21st birthday. On that day, they'd walk across the lake to the boat club for their first legal drink. So when Olle's 21st birthday came around, he and his pal Corky took a boat out to the middle of the lake. Olle stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned! Corky just managed to pull him to safety. Furious and confused, Olle went to see his grandmother. "Grandma, it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk across the lake like my father, his father, and his father before him?" Granny looked into Olle's eyes and said, "Because, you dumb ass, your father, grandfather and great grandfather were born in January, you were born in August, and the lake is not frozen." _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Thanks to Roland: Jack was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. The preacher grabbed Jack by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, 'You need to join the Army of the Lord!' Jack replied, 'I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.' Pastor questioned, 'How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?' He whispered back, 'I'm in the secret service.' ______________________________________________________ Now THAT is a bouquet! _____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote!

Was surprised as I thought I pay all such things through you. Is it something extra, to have it listed with the "10 search engines" or........? Martin Dear Martin That's just scam-spam. There is absolutely no reason to be listed in the Nigerian Pork Inquirer or the NY Listing Corp, or similarly obscure "Listing" services, that absolutely nobody ever looks up. Just trash the scam-spam. It's just some scammers trying to con gullibility tax out of you. If you want search engine listings, add relevant text. That is all that counts. Have FUN!

The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it. Friendship Between Men: A man didn't come home one night.

Don't forget the BBQ! ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Get this." said a guy to his friends, "Last night, while I was down at the bar with you guys, a burglar broke into my house. "Did he get anything?" his friends asked. The guy said, "Yeah, a broken jaw, six teeth knocked out, and a pair of broken ribs." One of his friends ask, "Whoa! But...how???" The guy answered, "Well, it was really late at night and my wife thought it was *me* coming home drunk!!" ___________________________________________________ | | The art of making people look twice. |
