One nurse finally had all she could stand of my crude behaviour and said, "A pervert like you should be living in a whore house!" I grinned at her and said, "Well, it WOULD be cheaper than here, but I can't get my insurance to pay for it." _____________________________________________________ The Irish priest was at the altar one dreary Sunday morning, addressing his congregation with a vehement sermon that alcohol was the work of the devil. "As an example," he stated during his sermon, "If you were to lead a donkey to a bowl of water and a bowl of whiskey, from which would he drink?" A grizzled old Mick at the back of the church spoke up: "Aye, Father, for sure he'd drink from the water." The priest, elated, said, "Very good, my son. And can you tell me WHY he'd drink from the water?" The Irishman at the back of the church replied, "Sure I can tell ye' why, Father. Because he's an ass." _____________________________________________________ Rutile in Quartz ___________________________________________________ A Bonehead award has been reported by Rock Fernando Alfonso-Fernandez, 27, In jail in Tucson, Arizona, USA Suspect arrested after 3 M drug bust in Southern Arizona One person was arrested after the Arizona Department of Public Safety made a large drug bust near Amado, Arizona June 2. AZDPS says a trooper stopped a passenger car on north Interstate 19 near kilometer 54. The trooper searched the vehicle after observing multiple indicators of criminal activity. AZDPS says the trooper found nearly 230 pounds of fentanyl, or more than a million pills, and more than nine pounds of cocaine. The drugs have an estimated street value of $3.1 million. The driver was identified as 27-year-old Fernando Alfonso- Fernandez, who now faces charges of possession, transportation and sale of narcotic drugs for sale. ___________________________________________________ A friend of mine was visiting a college, which had those security call boxes every few hundred feet. If you were wandering around the campus at night and felt uneasy about somebody following you, for instance, you could hit the button and have a security officer investigate immediately. On one of these phones hung a sign that said, "Out of Order." Underneath it someone had scrawled, "Keep Running." ___________________________________________________ >From Bill P "Honolulu, it's got everything. Sand for the children, sun for the wife, sharks for her mother....." Poor sharks ! Don't let the PETA fanatics find out about that! _____________________________________________________ From: Willie RE: Voice Mail Dear Webby, The Teleskunks seem to have figured a way to call straight into my voice mail, depriving my poor squeaky duck of the chance to tell them to go suck a ******. How rude and inconsiderate! How can I stop that? Willie Dear Willie No idea. I have never checked my voice mail. It probably filled up ages ago. One friend made a Tequila fuelled message for his answering machine telling callers about his inability to hear their thilly message because his bullshit filter blocks it, and that they should send him an email. That would not stop calls straight to his voice mail, but it sure is funny. If it becomes a serious problem, contact your phone company. They may have a way to turn off your voice mail. Have fun!
