TWO MEN WERE ON A GOLF COURSE AT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE
MORNING. JOE TURNED TO JACK AND ASKED, "HOW THE HELL
DO YOU GET YOUR WIFE TO LET YOU GO GOLFING AT FIVE
IN THE MORNING, WITHOUT A FUSS? MINE RAISES AN AWFUL
RACKET." JACK ANSWERED, "IT'S EASY. AT FOUR-THIRTY
I PULL OFF THE COVERS, TURN TO HER AND SAY, 'WELL,
HONEY, INTERCOURSE OR GOLF COURSE?' THEN I PICK UP
MY CLUBS AND GO GOLFING."

A GOLFER CAME HOME FROM THE LINKS AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT, COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED. HIS WIFE LOOKED AT HIM AND ASKED WHY HE WAS SO LATE. HE HAD BEEN GONE SINCE NINE THAT MORNING. HE SAID, "OH, IT WAS TERRIBLE. WE HAD JUST TEED UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JOE HAD A TERRIBLE HEART ATTACK. HE COLLAPSED COMPLETELY RIGHT THERE ON THE GOLF COURSE." HIS WIFE AGREED THAT THAT WAS TERRIBLE ALL RIGHT, BUT WHY WAS HER HUSBAND SO EXHAUSTED? HE REPLIED, "WELL, HONEY, IT WAS PRETTY TIRING, YOU KNOW. HIT THE BALL, DRAG JOE, HIT THE BALL, DRAG JOE, HIT THE BALL, DRAG HOE."

THE BOY STIRRING SHIT
THERE WAS THIS LITTLE BOY SITTING ON A CURB STIRRING
A BIG BUCKET OF SHIT. A PROTESTANT MINISTER PASSED AND
ASKED THE LITTLE BOY WHAT HE WAS DOING. THE LITTLE BOY
ANSWERED, "I'M MAKING A PROTESTANT MINISTER." THE
MINISTER WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED SO HE WENT A BIT DOWN
THE STREET AND WATCHED THE BOY. A LITTLE WHILE LATER
A JEWISH RABBI PASSED AND HE ASKED THE LITTLE BOY WHAT
HE WAS DOING. THE BOY ANSWERED, "I'M MAKING A JEWISH
RABBI." THE RABBI WAS SHOCKED AND WALKED OVER AND
JOINED THE MINISTER IN HIS WATCH. A LITTLE WHILE LATER
A CATHOLIC PRIEST WAS WALKING BY AND WHEN HE SAW THE
LITTLE BOY HE SAID TO HIM, "LITTLE BOY WHY ARE YOU
STIRRING THAT BIG BUCKET OF SHIT?" THE LITTLE BOY SAID,
"I DON'T KNOW." THE PRIEST SAW THE RABBI AND THE
MINISTER, SO HE JOINED THEM. THEY STARTED TO TALK
ABOUT THE LITTLE BOY AND THEY WONDERED WHY THE BOY TOLD
THE PRIEST THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS MAKING.
THEY WENT UP TO THE BOY AND SAID, "LITTLE BOY, YOU TOLD
THE MINISTER THAT YOU WERE MAKING A PROTESTANT
MINISTER AND YOU TOLD THE RABBI THAT YOU WERE MAKING
A JEWISH RABBI. HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL THE PRIEST
THAT YOU WERE MAKING A CATHOLIC PRIEST?" THE BOY
ANSWERED, "BECAUSE I AIN'T GOT ENOUGH SHIT."

GONE AND BECOME A CATHOLIC." SO THE SECOND JEW SAYS,
"FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION. MINE HAS TOO, I WAS
ON MY WAY TO THE TEMPLE TO PRAY. COME." SO THEY LEAVE,
AND ON THE WAY MEET ANOTHER OF THEIR FRIENDS, ALSO

ANSWERS, "MY SON HAS GONE AND BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
I AM ON MY WAY TO THE TEMPLE TO PRAY." SO THEY SAY,
"FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION. OUR SONS HAVE DONE THE
SAME." THEY ALL GO TO THE TEMPLE AND START TO PRAY,
TELLING GOD THAT THEIR SONS HAVE GONE AND BECOME
CHRISTIANS. AND GOD LOOKS DOWN ON THEM AND SAYS,
"FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION."

THERE WERE ONCE TWO FARMERS AND THEY WERE ALWAYS
ENVIOUS OF EACH OTHER. WELL, ONE DAY, ONE OF THE
FARMERS HAD A BEAUTIFUL OUTHOUSE BUILT. IT WAS A
GORGEOUS THING. IT HAD THREE PILLARS IN THE FRONT, IT
HAD TWO EASTERN CHURCH TYPE DOMES ON TOP, IT WAS A
FOUR SEATER, AND BEST OF ALL, IT DIDN'T STINK. NOW THE
OTHER FARMER, WHO WAS GREEN WITH ENVY (AND WITH THE SMELL
OF HIS OWN OUTHOUSE) DECIDED THAT HE MUST HAVE ONE THAT
WAS BETTER IN ALL RESPECTS THAN HIS SWEET SNIFFING
NEIGHBOR. HE THUS CALL A CONTRACTOR IN TOWN AND GAVE HIM
THE DESIRED SPECIFICATIONS. HE WANTED HIS OUTHOUSE TO BE
COMPLETELY SURROUNDED WITH 12 PILLARS. HE WANTED A
STEEPLE ON TOP, 8 SEATS, WALL TO WALL CARPETING AND
FIGURES CARVED ON THE BUILDING TRIM, AND LASTLY, HE
STRICTLY STATED THAT THE OUTHOUSE COULD NOT STINK.
NEXT DAY THE CONTRACTOR AND HIS MEN CAME TO THE FARMER'S
PROPERTY AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS ERECTED THE
STRUCTURE. THE FARMER WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE VISIBLE
RESULT. A FEW WEEKS LATER, HOWEVER, THE FARMER FOUND IT
NECESSARY TO CALL THE CONTRACTOR. IT SEEMS THAT WHILE
THE FARMER WAS STROLLING AROUND HIS OUTHOUSE, HE SNIFFED
SOMETHING THAT WAS QUITE UNDESIROUS. HE IMMEDIATELY
CALLED THE CONTRACTOR AND TOLD HIM OFTHE DELEMMA. THE
CONTRACTOR QUICKLY DROVE TO THE FARM. HE GREETED THE
FARMER AND THEY BOTH STROLLED BACK TO THE OUTHOUSE. THE
CONTRACTOR PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE PILLARS, THE
FOUNDATIONS, THE CARPETING., THE STEEPLE, THE CARVED
FIGURES AND THE PAINT. FINDING NO FAULT, HE WANDERED
OVER TO ONE OF THE SEATS. OPENING THE COVER AND
LOOKING WITHIN, HE BECKONED THE FARMER. POINTING TO
THE INSIDE OF THE HOLE, HE EXCLAIMED, "HERE'S YOUR
PROBLEM RIGHT HERE: SOMEBODY SHIT IN IT."

INDIAN STORY
IT SEEMS AN INDIAN WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A GREAT MEMORY
SO MUCH SO THAT HIS FAME HAD SPREAD. ONE DAY, HE
CAME INTO A RESTAURANT AND ORDERED A COUPLE OF EGGS.
JUST THEN THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION AND THE INDIAN WAS
INJURED, TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, AND WAS RELEASED.
WAR BROKE OUT AND HE WAS DRAFTED, SERVED IN THE PACIFIC,
AND EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL YEARS, WAS DISCHARGED.
SO AFTER ABOUT TEN YEARS, HE AGAIN WALKS INTO A
RESTAURANT AND THE SAME PROPRIETOR WAITS ON HIM.
JOKINGLY, THE PROPRIETOR, NOT RECOGNIZING HIM, SAYS,
"HOW!" THE INDIAN REPLIED, "SCRAMBLED."

THE MILKMAN
THERE WAS A MILKMAN WHO WENT UP TO ONE OF HIS CUSTOMER'S
HOMES ONE DAY. A LADY ANSWERED THE DOOR WITH NOTHING
ON BUT A PANTIE AND BRA. SHE INVITED HIM IN FOR A CUP
OF COFFEE. HE DECLINED WITH THE EXCUSE THAT HE WAS TOO
BUSY, BUT HE WAS REALLY TURNED ON. THIS HAPPENED ON THE
SECOND AND THIRD DAY, UNTIL THE LADY WAS ANSWERING WITH
NOTHING ON AT ALL. THE THIRD AFTERNOON, AFTER THE
MILKMAN HAD AGAIN DECLINED THE INVITATION, HE WAS TAKING
HIW OWN FAMILY OUT FOR A RIDE. HE GOT TO THINKING ABOUT
WHAT HAD HAPPENED ON THE LAST THREE MORNINGS AND HE
DECIDED THAT HE WAS A FOOL FOR NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
IT. AND EVEN THE THOUGHT OF THIS TURNED HIM ON. SO
HE DROPPED OFF HIS FAMILY AS SOON AS HE COULD AND RUSHED
OVER TO THIS LADY'S HOUSE. WHEN HE GOT TO THE PORCH HE
DECIDED TO PULL HIS TOOL OUT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT
THE LADY WOULD ANSWER NAKED AS IN THE MORNING. INSTEAD,
A BIG-(OBSCENITY) MAN ANSWERED WITH TATOOS ON HIS ARMS
AND CHEST. HE SAID, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?"
"I'M THE MILKMAN AND IF YOU DON'T PAY YOUR BILL, I'
GOING TO PISS ALL OVER YOUR PORCH."

WITH A BIG SIGN ON THE TOP OF IT WHICH READ, "YOUR WIFE
AWAY FROM HOME." HE WONDERED WHAT IT WAS, BUT HE WAS
TOO CHICKEN TO GO AND TRY IT, SO HE DECIDED TO WAIT AND

AND PUTS A COIN IN IT. HE PUTS HIS FRONT SIDE UP
CLOSE TO IT AND MOVED AROUND A BIT TO GET INTO POSITION.
LIGHTS AND BELL WENT OFF AND THE MAN HAD A LOOK OF
SATISFACTION ON HIS FACE. A SECOND MAN WENT UP TO THE

DECIDED THAT IT WAS HIS TURN TO TRY IT. HE WENT UP TO

PUT A COIN INTO THE MACHINE. SUDDENLY HE STARTED TO
YELL AND SCREAM. HE PULLED OUT HIS TOOL AND THERE
WAS A BUTTON SEWED ON IT.
