This guy went into the bar Friday night and ordered three beers.
In fact, every Friday night he went into the bar and ordered three beers
and drank them all by himself.
Three beers...every Friday night. Not 2. Never 4. Always 3.
Well, the bartender couldn't figure this out.
Without fail this guy always came in.
The bartender finally said to the guy,
"Every Friday night you come in here and have three beers.
There must be a story to this. You never order 2 beers, or 4 beers, always 3."
The guy said, "Yes, there is a story.
You see, me and my two buddies always went out for a beer on Friday night
when we were in Vietnam."
One night while we were drinking we decided that we would continue
doing this when we returned to the States.
We also decided that if one of us didn't make it,
the other two would drink the third one's beer.
And if two didn't make it, the third guy would drink the other two beers.
The other two didn't make it back so I'm drinking theirs."
The bartender felt bad.
Well, the next Friday night the guy came back into the bar as usual
but only ordered two beers.
The bartender couldn't believe it.
From then on, Friday after Friday, this guy now ordered only two drinks.
The bartender was so puzzled he just had to ask the guy about it.
The bartender said to him,
"I notice you've only been ordering two beers for the last few weeks.
There has to be a story here."
The guy said,
"Yes, indeed there is a story.
You see, I joined the Mormon church and I can't drink beer any more."

Bad parenting
JOCK THE PAINTER There was a tradesman, a painter called Jock, who was very interested
in making a buck where he could,
so he often would thin down paint to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time,
but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration job
on the roof of one of their biggest churches.
Jock put in a bid, and because his price was so competitive, he got the job.
And so he set to, with a right good will, erecting the trestles and setting up the planks,
and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with the turpentine.
Well, Jock was up on the scaffolding, painting away,
the job nearly done when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder,
and the sky opened, the rain poured down,
washing the thin paint from all over the church
and knocking Jock fair off the scaffold to land on the lawn,
among the gravestones,
surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint.
Jock was no fool.
He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty,
so he got on his knees and cried:
"Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke:
"Repaint! Repaint and thin no more!" > -------------------------------------------

What Men do for women
Country wisdom An old guy in an Australian desert town was showing some tourists how to top up a camel with water. "That way," he said, "You get an extra day out of them between drinks." As the camel bent down to drink, the old guy picked up two bricks and bashed them over the camel's balls. The camel sucked in its breath and took on three days' extra water. "Doesn't that hurt?" asked a tourist. "Nah," replied the old timer. "Only if you get your fingers caught!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very Clever
A small zoo in Kentucky obtained a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very difficult to handle. Upon examination, the veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat. To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available. Thinking about their problem, the Zoo Keeper thought of Bob by Lee Walton, a redneck part-time worker responsible for cleaning the animal cages. Bobby Lee, like most rednecks, had little sense but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species. The Zoo Keeper thought they might have a solution. Bobby Lee was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500.00? Bobby Lee showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, he announced that he would accept their offer, but only under five conditions: “First”, Bobby Lee said, “I ain’t gonna kiss her on the lips.” The Keeper quickly agreed to this condition. “Second”, he said, “She must wear a ‘Dale Earnhardt Forever’ T-Shirt.” The keeper again readily agreed to this condition. “Third”, he said, “you can’t never tell no one about this.” The keeper again readily agreed to this condition. “Fourth”, Bobby Lee said, “I want all the children raised Southern Baptist.” Once again it was agreed. “And last,” Bobby Lee said, “I’ll need another week to come up with the $500.00.” --------------------------------------------------------------------

A German, an American and an Englishman were exploring the jungle when they came across an breathtakingly beautiful waterfall. After admiring it for a while, the American says,
"When I look at this waterfall, I think of the great American Constitution,
you know, where every atom of water is like an individual who has the freedom to make it's own way through the world in unison with nature".
The German says, "When I look at this waterfall, I think of the great German economy, strong and powerful and smooth running".
The Englishman, when asked about his thoughts says,
"When I look at this waterfall, I think of oral sex".
The American and the German look at him in amazement.
"What is it about this waterfall makes you think of oral sex?"
"Uh. everything I look at makes me think of oral sex". ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Pulled over
A woman was driving her old beat up car on the Highway with her 7 year old son.
She tried to keep up with traffic but they were flying by her.
After getting caught in a large group of cars flying down the road,
she looked at her speedometer to see she was doing 15 miles over the speed limit.
Slowing down, she moved over to the side and got out of the clump that soon left her behind.
She looked up and saw the flashing lights of a police car.
Pulling over she waited for the officer to come up to her car.
As he did he said,
"Ma'am do you know why I pulled you over?"
Her 7 year old son piped up from the back seat,
"I do ... because you couldn't catch the other cars!"

What Elvis taught me
SOME people follow Confucius, others swear by the philosophical insights of Plato or Sartre.
Why not instead study the songs of Elvis Presley?
Taken as a whole, they contain everything from handy tips about geography
("a river flows surely to the sea") to practical travel advice (the YMCA in Memphis has cheap accommodation), right through to religious instruction ("I'm lonely like Adam, you're evil like Eve").
Today, on the anniversary of Elvis's death, it may be time to codify that knowledge.
Herewith the 30 things I've learned about life from listening to Elvis.
TRAVEL
1. The typical train is 16 carriages long.
2. All food in Germany consists of hasenpfeffer and black pumpernickel.
3. The Heartbreak Hotel is located at the end of Lonely Street and its desk clerk dresses in black.
4. Hula dancers are best judged by their ability to really move that grass around.
5. A harem in the Middle East contains 20 women.
6. So efficient is the US postal service that it will return an unwanted letter within 24 hours of its initial posting
.7. There are few sounds that make you feel more lonely than that of the midnight train.
8. If hitchhiking, it's hard to choose a better destination than Memphis Tennessee.
RELATIONSHIPS
1. When inviting a young woman to dance, you may increase your chances by noting that chicken is being served in the barn.
2. If rejected by the older sister in a family, by all means have a crack at her little sister, who may have matured more than you at first noticed.
3. Women named Marie are naturally duplicitous.
4. It's OK to date your cousin, providing she's a distant cousin "but not too distant with you".
5. Girls named Daisy tend to drive you crazy.
6. If caught without a partner during a dance at a federal penitentiary, why not try dancing with a wooden chair?
7. Conversation with a girlfriend can become tiresome if she fails to break up the conversation every now and then with a little action
.8. A .44-calibre pistol is an excellent firearm choice for a woman whose partner was doin' her wrong.
PERSONAL GROOMING
1. If wearing suede shoes, particularly of a light hue, one should make their protection one's No. 1 priority, even above that of preventing arson attacks on one's own home.
THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
1. There are few looks in life more intense than that of a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store.
2. A passionate kiss can be measured by the fact that even a team of wild horses would be unable to drag apart the two participants.
3. The embrace of a grizzly bear provides a useful point of comparison when considering the pressure necessary to demonstrate real passion during an affair.
4. A good hound dog should be able to catch a rabbit.
GEOGRAPHY
1. People are more likely to be alone during a blue moon than during any other lunar event.
2. In the state of Kentucky, precipitation usually occurs when a man is hitchhiking from town to town, having been abandoned by his baby.
MEDICAL
1. The lips of attractive women tend to taste like breakfast spread, in particular honey.
2. A temperature of 109 is quite common during the early stages of an affair.
3. The experience of love, especially early in life, can have serious medical consequences including sensations of itching, hand tremors, leg spasms, heart palpitations and language difficulties.
HISTORY
1. American soldiers were unable to approach young women in Germany in the period after the war, as local women wore signs in German saying, "Keepen Sie Off The Grass."
PHILOSOPHY
1. Children born in disadvantaged areas such as ghettos should receive special assistance as this reduces the likelihood of them turning to a life of crime, thus perpetuating an endless cycle of disadvantage
.2. A rabbit's foot, while widely considered a creator of good luck, makes only a moderate contribution to one's happiness compared to the impact of finding a good life partner.
3. If you suspect someone is evil check their middle name because it may well be "Misery".
Now, show me one passage in Plato, Sartre or Confucius
that can match all of that for depth, width and wisdom.
I've lived my life by it, how about you?
RIP Elvis, the King.
A fairy princess dreamed of becoming a ballerina.
One day, she read an announcement that the Royal Ballet would audition dancers.
The auditions were in a nearby town.
So, on the morning of the auditions, she tied 100 white pigeons to her chariot.
The director noticed her dramatic entrance.
He immediately told her to go home. "Why?" cried the princess. "We have enough pigeon-towed dancers already."

Wrong diagnosis
A man who smelled like a distillery flopped on a subway seat next to a priest.
The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick,
and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket.
He opened his newspaper and began reading.
After a few minutes the disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked,
"Say, Father, what causes arthritis?"
"My son, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women,
too much alcohol, and a contempt for your fellow man."
"Well, I'll be damned," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized.
"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong.
How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
William Penn, the famous statesman,
had two elderly aunts who loved to bake pies.
The pies were very popular with the townspeople.
So the aunts decided to start selling them.
The pies sold so well that the women quickly became greedy.
So they started raising their prices.
Soon, everybody in town was talking about ... the pie-rates of Penn's aunts.

A man goes to his doctor and complains that his wife hasn’t wanted to have sex
with him for the past six months.
The doctor tells the man to bring his wife in so he can talk to her
and hopefully determine what the problem is. The following day, the wife goes to the doctor’s office.
The doctor asks her what’s wrong, why doesn’t she want to have sex with her husband? “Oh, that’s easily explained. For the past six months,” the wife says,
“I’ve been taking a cab to work every morning. I don’t have any money.
The cab driver asks me, ‘Are you going to pay today, or what?’
So, I take an ‘or what’.” “Then, when I get to work,” she continues,
“I’m late, so the boss asks me,
‘Are we going to write this down in the book, or what?’
So, I take an ‘or what’. I take a cab to go home after work and, as usual, I have no money.
The cab driver asks me again, ‘So, are you going to pay this time, or what?’
Again, I take an ‘or what’. So you see, doc, by the time I get home I’m all tired out and don’t want it anymore.” “Yes, I see,” replies the doctor.
One day Bill says, "I love my wife, but sometimes I get bored.
Tell me, have you ever thought of switching?
Who says you have to be with your wife and I have to be with my wife all the time!"
Bob says, "Hey, that's a great idea. Let's talk to our wives and see what they think."
Each of them talks to his wife, and much to their delight the wives agree to the plan.
The next morning Bob says to Bill,
"How was it for you?"
Bill says, "I had a lot of fun, we should do this again."
"That's what I think,"says Bob.
"Let's go next door and see how the girls made out."
The Perfect Woman
The above two images were stolen from ... "Blame it on the voices" ------------------------------------------
The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was having sex. Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family’s status,
she consulted the family doctor. The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion.
He then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until then,
talk to her and give her a box of condoms. Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date,
the woman told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms. The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother saying: “Oh Mom! You don’t have to worry about that!
A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in 'Vegas.
She's down to her last $50.
Exasperated, she exclaims,
"What rotten luck! What in the world should I do now?"
A man standing next to her, trying to calm her down, suggests,
"I don't know... why don't you play your age?"
He walks away.
Moments later, his attention is grabbed by a great commotion at the roulette table.
Thinking Maybe she'd won,
he rushes back to the table and pushes his way through the crowd.
The lady is lying limp on the floor, with the table operator kneeling over her.
The man is stunned.
He asks, "What happened? Is she all right?"
The operator replies,
"I don't know. She put all her money on 29,and 36 came up.
Then she just fainted!"

Kevin Rudd - the Educator
Acting as a pro-education preacher Prime Minister Kevin Rudd makes many stops at grade schools where he poses for pictures, while reading to kids or chatting with them in class.
At one photo-op stop, a teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood.
Kevin Rudd chimed in, possibly trying to make the teacher's lesson clearer.
He said: "Now, children, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it,
and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes, sir," one of the girls said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
Three bulls heard via the grapevine that the farmer was going to bring yet another bull
onto the farm, and this prospect raised a discussion among them.
1st Bull: "Boys, we all know I have been here for five years.
Once we settled our differences,we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be mine.
I don't know where this newcomer is going to get his cows, but I ain't givin' him any of mine."
2nd Bull: "That pretty much says it for me too. I've been here for three years
and have earned my right to the 50 cows we have agreed are mine.
I'll fight him off or kill him, but I'm keeping all my cows."
3rd Bull: "I've only been here a year and so far you guys have
only let me have 10 cows to take care of.
I may not be as big as you fellows yet, but I am young and virile,
so I simplymust keep all my cows."
They had just finished their big talk when a big 18-wheeler
pulls up in the middle of the paddock with only one animal in it.
It was the biggest son-of-another-bull these guys hadever seen.
At 2000 kg, each step he took the ground strained the steel ramp to breakingpoint.
1st Bull: "Ahem...you know, it's actually been some time since I was doing all my cows justice. Anyway, I think I can spare a few for our new friend."
2nd Bull: "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of if I just stay on the opposite side
of the paddock from him. I'm certainly not looking for an argument."
They look over at there young friend, the third bull, and find him
pawing the dirt, shaking his horns and snorting.
1st Bull: "Son, let me give you some advice real quick.
Let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it."
3rd Bull: "Hell he can have all my cows.
I'm just making sure he knows I'm a bull."
A fishing boat is working the North Sea,
when suddenly it starts shipping water.
It puts out a Mayday message:
"Help! Help! We are sinking!"
A few minutes back the reply comes through:
"Zis is ze German coastguard.
Vot are you sinking about?"
There are more Catholic churches than casinos in Las Vegas.
Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips
rather than cash when the basket is passed.
Since they get chips from many different casinos,
the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings.
The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Benedictine monastery for sorting.
Then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.
This is done by the chip monks.

A young cowboy walks into the town cafe.
He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded,
staring blankly at a full bowl of chili. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it,
the young cowboy bravely asked the old cowpoke,
“If you ain’t gonna eat that, mind if I do?” The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler
and in his best cowboy manner says,
“Nah, go ahead.” Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place
and starts spooning in it with delight.
He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili.
The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chili back into the bowl. The old cowboy lifts his head up and looks the younger man straight in the eyes,
