Jokes & stories....

Joke

Confession joke cont...

Bill, feeling he was getting the hang of this, said in his most reverent tone. "What did you do my child?"

The man said. "Father, I cheated on my wife."

So Bill scratched his head and looked at the list, thinking to himself... 'That would be adultery... ok, here it is.' And spoke up to the man. "My child, do ten Hail Marries, five Our Fathers and go in peace."

The man thanked him and left and another took up their place in the adjoining booth. A woman's voice spoke out. "Forgive me father for I have sinned."

Bill feeling relaxed now said in his most reverent tone. "What did you do my child?"

The woman said. "Father, last night I gave a guy a blow job on the first date."

So Bill looked over the list, ran his finger down it, looked it over twice more, but didn't find the offence and said to himself. ' What the hell do you give someone for the act of fellatio?'

He finally got up, stuck his head out the door and spotted an alter boy and whispered. "Ppsst! Hey, alter boy. What does the priest usually give for an act of fellatio?"

The alter boy smiled and whispered back, "Three snickers and a pat on the head."

Joke

Amanpreet walked into the paint section of the hardware store and says to the assistant, "I'd like a pint of canary-yellow paint."

"Certainly," says the clerk. "Mind if I ask why you need it?"

"My parakeet," says Preet. "See, I want to enter him in a canary contest. He sings so sweetly that I know he's sure to win."

"Well, you can't do that!" the assistant says. "The chemicals in the paint will almost certainly kill the poor thing!"

"No, they won't."

"Listen, man, I'll bet you ten bucks your parakeet dies if you try to paint him."

"You're on!" Amanpreet says.

Two days later Preet comes back looking very sheepish and puts ten bucks on the counter in front of the clerk.

"So the paint killed your bird?"

"Indirectly," Preet sighs. "He seemed to handle the paint okay, but he didn't survive the sanding between coats."

Joke

The revised version for today's woman

1. Have dinner ready. Make reservations ahead of time. If your day becomes too hectic, just leave him a voice mail message regarding where you'd like to eat and at what time. This lets him know that your day has been crappy and gives him an opportunity to change your mood.

2. Prepare yourself. A quick stop at the "LANCOME" counter on your way home will do wonders for your outlook and will keep you from becoming irritated every time he opens his mouth. (Don't forget to use his credit card!)

3. Clear away the clutter. Call the housekeeper and tell her that any miscellaneous items left on the floor by the children can be placed in the Goodwill box in the garage.

4. Prepare the children. Send the children to their rooms to watch television or play Nintendo. After all, both of them are from his previous marriages.

5. Minimize the noise: If you happen to be home when he arrives, be in the bathroom with the door locked.

6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems and complaints. Let him speak first, and then your complaints will get more attention and remain fresh in his mind throughout dinner. Don't complain if he's late for dinner, simply remind him that the leftovers are in the fridge and you left the dishes for him to do.

7. Make him comfortable: Tell him where he can find a blanket if he's cold. This will really show you care.

8. Listen to him: But don't ever let him get the last word.

9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or other places of entertainment; go with a friend or go shopping (use his credit card).

10. The Goal: Try to keep things amicable without reminding him that he only thinks the world revolves around him. Obviously he's wrong, it revolves around you. .


Trivia answer....

Do a deep knee bend, and it's very likely you'll hear popping sounds coming from your knee joints. There are also popping sounds when you "crack your knuckles."

What causes the popping sounds? Actually, two separate and distinct sources are responsible for the familiar popping sounds our joints emit.

The sound heard when our knuckles crack, results when a finger joint is extended almost to the end of its range. The joint, surrounded by a lubricating fluid, is encased in a capsule. At times, we intentionally, or unintentionally, extend the joint so far that the gas dissolved in the fluid spontaneously separates from the solution, forming a small bubble, and making a cracking sound. Not until the fluid reabsorbs the gas can the sound be reproduced. Whether or not there is truth to the old wives tale, that cracking ones knuckles enlarges them, remains open to debate.

On the other hand, the sound produced when we do deep-knee bends, is a snapping sound, produced when our tendons, which are merely the fibers that connect muscles and bones, elastically snap into new positions as our joints move under stress. Because the tendons shift back and forth with the movement of the joint, there is no waiting time before this snapping sound can be reproduced.
