Bubbe boarded the ship and showed her ticket to the purser. He looked at it and said, "Oh, I see you have U.D." She replied, "U.D.? Voos is U.D.? He said, "U.D. is Upper Deck." She then went to the upper deck and showed her ticket to the steward there and he said, "I see, that in addition to U.D., you also have O.C." Bubbe replied, "O.C.? Voos is O.C.?" The steward said, "O.C. is Outside Cabin." Bubbe, needless to say, was delighted. She then showed her ticket to the cabin boy and he said, "Oh, I see that you also have B.I.B.".... "B.I.B.? Voos is B.I.B.?" asked Bubbe. The cabin boy answered, "B.I.B. is Breakfast In Bed." "Oh" she said; "Mine children and grandchildren are vonderful." Well, the next morning, bright and early, the staff came right into her room with trays of food for her Breakfast In Bed and she said, "F.U.C.K" Shocked, they said, "F.U.C.K? ...What do you mean F.U.C.K.?", To which the old grandmother replied, "Yes, F.U.C.K.. . Foist U Could Knock!" ________________________________________________________   _______________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ A Priest at a Church picnic was staring at a member of his parish wearing the tiniest of bikinis. A Nun walked over and said, "Shame on you Father, staring at that woman like that!"

The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents." ___________________________________________________ While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his five-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto the Sonnn..... and into the hole he gooooes." ___________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Melinda RE: Caps Lock Dear Webby yeah, I know you told us before how to deal with Caps Lock.

Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so's I can see what it is I'm doing." Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there." said the doctor, "Don't be in a rush to put that lantern down... I think there's yet another one coming...." Surely enough, in a few more minutes, the old doctor had delivered a baby girl. "No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern. It seems there's yet another one in there!" cried the doctor in amazement. The bewildered redneck scratched his head and asked the country doctor, "Do you think it's the light that's attracting them?" ____________________________________________ A Bonehead Award Has Been Reported By Rock  Enrique Gomez,31, Angelo Meza, 27, Visalia, California, USA  2 arrested after rifle, fentanyl found in Visalia backyard  Two men have been arrested after a rifle and fentanyl was found in a backyard Sunday afternoon in Visalia.
