Being an all male combat force, they decided to request coeds from some of the surrounding colleges to attend. The Captain called Vassar and was assured by the Dean that arrangements could be made to send over a dozen of their most trustworthy students. The Captain hesitated, then said, "Would it also be possible to send a dozen or so normal ones ?" ____________________________________________________ Old Andrzej was a minister in a small Polish town. He had always been a good man and lived by the Bible. One day God decided to reward him, with the answer to any three questions Andrzej would like to ask. Old Andrzej did not need much time to consider, and the first question was: "Will there ever be married Catholic priests?" God promptly replied: "Not in your life-time." Andrzej thought for a while, and then came up with the second question: "what about female priests then, will we have that one day?" Again God had to disappoint Old Andrzej: "Not in your life-time, I'm afraid." Andrzej was sorry to hear that, and he decided to drop the subject. After having though for a while, he asked the last question: "Will there ever be another Polish pope?" God answered quickly and with a firm voice, "Not in MY life time." __________________________________________________ Reported by Rock: An International Bonehead Award has been earned by Pedro Alberto Hernandez, 52, Houston, Texas, usa Houston man with multiple DWIs charged with murder for running over 6-year-old boy A Houston man with two previous DUI convictions is now facing murder charges after allegedly running over a 6-year- old boy while driving drunk in a parking lot on Saturday evening. Pedro Alberto Hernandez, 52, admitted to police that he drank "numerous beers" during the day before striking the boy. "What we believe happened is: he struck the child, ran over the child, then was told that he had struck the child, and so he backed up again onto the child," a Houston Police Department spokesperson told Fox 26 Houston. "Those are all things that a sober person doesnt do." The boy was walking with his grandfather but ran ahead of him in the parking lot when he was struck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Civilians detained Hernandez after the incident until police arrived. Toxicology results are still pending to determine his blood alcohol level. Hernandez has at least two previous convictions for driving under the influence, according to police. He was charged with murder and driving while intoxicated. _____________________________________________________ Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir." Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he barked at him: "What do you want?" "Nothing important, sir," the airman replied, "just here to hook up your telephone." _____________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Lady: "Waiter, please bring me coffee without cream."

Dear webby ___________________________________________________ >From Edith The other day I was playing golf and saw an unusual thing. A golfer became so mad that he threw his brand new set of golf clubs into the lake. A few minutes later he came back, waded into the lake, and retrieved his clubs. He proceeded to take his car keys out of the bag -- then threw the clubs back into the water. ___________________________________________________ The young teacher of the earth science class was lecturing on map reading.

After a confused silence, Morris offered this as his answer, ....."I guess you'd be eating alone.... I can't swim THAT far!" _____________________________________________________ ophelia dingbatter's news no sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
