Jennifer (a blonde) had applied for a job and when she returned home, her mother asked how the interview went.
"Pretty good, I think," replied Jennifer, "but if I go to work there I won't get a vacation until I'm married."
Her mother, of course, had never heard of such a thing. "Is that what they told you?"
"No", replied Jennifer, "but right on the application it said 'vacation time may not be taken until you've had your First Anniversary.'"

His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
I would not breed from this officer.
He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
This medical officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
Since my last report he has reached rock bottom; has started to dig.

My daughter, Mary, goes to extremes in caring for her new sports car. One afternoon we went to get gas. When the attendant asked what kind, Mary said, "Unleaded -- super. The best you have. And check the oil, please."
When the man found the car needed a quart, he asked, "What kind do you use?"
"I just want the finest," Mary said. "Whatever it costs. And look at the radiator too. It might need water."
"What does it take," the attendant inquired, "Perrier?"

Bush orders officials to stop the leaks By Joseph L. Galloway and James Kuhnhenn Inquirer Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance to his policies in Iraq, President Bush - living up to his recent declaration that he is in charge - told his top officials to "stop the leaks" to the media, or else.
News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately.
Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see any stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a senior administration official who asked that his name not be used.

A guy meets a childhood pal. "What are you doing for yourself these days?"
"I'm a fireman," his old friend replies.
"Yeah? My 15-year-old kid wants to be a fireman," says the guy.
"Well," says his friend, "if you want some good advice, you've got to install a pole in your house that will go to the basement so your kid can practice, because the hardest thing for a fireman is to jump off into space and catch that pole in the middle of the night."
Ten years later, the two guys happen to meet again.
"Well, did your son become a fireman?"
"No," moans the guy, "but my daughter is a stripper."

Marilyn Monroe
Raquel Welch
Sharon Stone
Jane Fonda
The correct answer is... Raquel Welch
Born Raquel Tejada on September 5, 1940 in Chicago, she began taking dance lessons as a child and by her teens was already winning beauty contests.
At the age of 18, she married her high-school sweetheart James Welch. The couple had two children before divorcing in 1961. After working in Dallas, Texas as a waitress and model, Welch relocated to Hollywood in 1963; within three days she had already landed a manager, Patrick Curtis, and soon they formed a promotions company, Curtwell Enterprises.
After appearing in Life magazine in a revealing bikini, she began working on the ABC series Hollywood Palace, and in 1964 made her feature debut with an unbilled appearance in the Elvis Presley vehicle Roustabout. Welch next appeared as a prostitute in 1964's A House Is Not a Home, followed by another uncredited appearance a year later in Do Not Disturb.
In 1965 she scored her first lead role in the pop musical A Swingin' Summer, resulting in a contract with 20th Century-Fox, which cast her in the sci-fi hit Fantastic Voyage before loaning her to the British horror studio Hammer. There she starred in a 1967 remake of One Million Years B.C.; clad in little more than strategically-placed strips of fur, Welch's publicity stills appeared everywhere, and she became a major sex symbol.
