There is another theory which states that this has already happened. --- Douglas Adams ____________________________________________________ Little Johnny's teacher sent a note home to his Mother saying, "Johnny seems to be a very bright boy, but spends too much of his time thinking about sex and girls."

He shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife." "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquires the man. "There is more than one type?" "Look Around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras," replied the salesclerk. Confused, the man asked what were the types. The saleslady replied, "The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?" Still confused the man asked "What is the difference between them?" The lady responded, "It is all really simple." The Catholic type supports the masses, The Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills." ______________________________________________ Baked beans One of the matrons of the church was cooking a pot of her famous beans for the church potluck, and her Do, came running through the house, BB gun in one hand, and a handful of BBs in the other. Do tripped and the BBs, naturally, went right into the pot of beans. Thinking it over, Do could think of no reason why risk punishment, so Do said nothing. The dinner went well, and, as usual, the beans were one of the favorite dishes. The next day, the church secretary, Mary, called Do's mother and said, "Jane, your beans were delicious as usual, but what did you put in them this time?" Jane replied, "Nothing new, why do you ask?" "Well," said Mary, "this morning I bent over to feed the cat and shot the canary." ______________________________________________ Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.

So, he decided to have each of them come up to the front of the class and tell the class about their fathers' profession or trade and to spell such profession or trade. The teacher called up Johnny as the first student, and Johnny said, "My father is a baker, and you spell it, B-A-K-E-R. If my father was here today, he would give everyone a cookie." "Very well," the teacher said, and called Jim to the front. Jim said, "My father is a banker and you spell it, B-A-N-K- E-R. If he was here today, he would give everyone a quarter." "Great," said the teacher and called Tim to the front. Tim said, "My father is an electrician, and you spell it, E-E-L-K . . . E-L-E-K . . ." Tim was having a hard time spelling, so the teacher said, "Tim, why don't you sit and think about the spelling for a few minutes. In the meantime, we'll have Peter come up and tell us about his father." Peter said, "My father is a bookie, B-O-O-K-I-E. And if my father was here today, he would bet ten to one that Tim can not spell electronic technician." ___________________________________________________ Today, January 1, in 0404 The last gladiator competition was held in Rome.
