A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry. He decides to give them a test. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new make-up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for him. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.
Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that, you know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

He found all three results equally pleasing, and had to find something for a tiebreaker. Makes perfect sense. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

One geek says to the other, "You know, I had the strangest dream Last night. I dreamed that Windows XP had a secret lockout feature that keeps anyone who uses it from sleeping with more than 32 women!"

Wedding Bliss

While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Wally and his wife Carolyn listened to the instructor declare,
"It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other."

He addressed the men,
"Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?"

Wally leaned over, touched Carolyn's arm gently and whispered,
"Pillsbury All-Purpose, isn't it?"

And thus began Wally's life of celibacy.

A teacher, a doctor, and a lawyer were driving home together from a fishing trip when the vehicle blows a tire and flips over killing all three.

As they all stood in line waiting to be checked for admittance into heaven, the three started discussing how the world would remember them and what they hoped people would say about them at their wake.

The teacher said "I want people to say how I was a fine educator and how some of my students grew into prominent positions of stature."

The doctor said "I want people to say how I was a skilled surgeon and saved many lives and enhanced many others."

The lawyer said " I want people to say 'Look, he's moving!!!"

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all that:

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5"x5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
* synergy
* strategic fit
* core competencies
* best practice
* bottom line
* revisit
* expeditious
* 24/7
* out of the loop
* benchmark
* value-added
* proactive
* win-win
* think outside the box
* fast track
* result-driven
* empower (or empowerment)
* knowledge base
* at the end of the day
* touch base
* mindset
* client focus(ed)
* paradigm
* metrics
* economies of scale
* game plan
* leverage

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULL***T!"





Testimonials from satisfied "Bull***t Bingo" players:

"I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won."- Adam W., Atlanta

"My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically."- David T., Florida

"What a gas! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first win."- Dan J., New York City

"The atmosphere was tense in the Last process meeting as 14 of us waited for the fifth box." - Ben G., Denver

"The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed 'BULL***T!' for the third time in two hours."- Carl G., Ca.

Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new Ottawa parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the Prime Minister for assistance.

The conversation went like this: "Bon Jour. Jean Chretien, How might I help you?" And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at your favourite Parish. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Wouldye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"

The Prime Minister, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of Last rites!" There was dead silence on the line for a long moment. Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."

Noah in Canada
A little updated Bible story, if Noah lived today...
The Lord came to Noah in Canada in the year 2003. Earth was wicked
and overpopulated. The Lord instructed Noah to build an ark and save two
of every living thing along with a few good humans. Here's the
blueprint," said the Lord. "Hurry. In six months I start the unending rain
for 40
days and 40 nights.

Six months later the rain came down. The Lord looked down and saw Noah
weeping in his flooded yard -- and no ark. "Noah," He roared, "Where's
my ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah. "Things have changed. I needed a
building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a
sprinkler system.
My neighbours claim that I have violated the zoning laws by
building the ark in my yard and the height limitation is being exceeded.

We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then
Transport Canada and the Department of Highways and Hydro One wanted a bond
posted for the future costs of moving power, trolley and other overhead
obstructions to clear the passage for the ark's move to the sea. I argued
the sea
would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of this.
"Getting wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local
trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the
environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls. No go! I
gathered the
animals, but then I got sued by an animal rights group. They insisted I was
confining wild animals against their will. As well, they argued the
accommodation was too restrictive and it was cruel and inhumane to put
so many animals in so confined a space.

"Environment Canada decided that I could not build the ark without
filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. I'm still
trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many
minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. The trade unions want
me
to hire only union trades people with ark building experience. To make
matters
worse, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency seized all my assets,
claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally and with endangered
species.

So, forgive me Lord, but it would take at least 10 years to finish this
ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared and the sun began to shine. A rainbow
stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder. "You mean you're not
going
to destroy the world?" he asked.
"No," said the Lord, "your government already has!"

Brass Monkey

In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters
carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls.
It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon, but how to
prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage method
devised was a square based pyramid with one ball on top, resting
on four resting on nine which rested on sixteen.

Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small
area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem...how to
prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others. The
solution was a metal plate called a "Monkey" with 16 round indentations.
But,if this plate was made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it.

The solution to the rusting problem was to make "Brass Monkeys." Few
landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than
iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far,
the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls
would come right off the monkey.

Thus, it was quite literally, "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass
monkey ............

Jokes you can tell in church:

==============
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?"

===============

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell,
getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me either!"

===============

A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?"

===============

Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50." The second boy says, "That's nothing. My dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100." The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon. And it takes eight people to collect all the money!"

===============

An elderly woman died Last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.

===============

A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He said, "Call for backup."

===============

A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" Annie replied, "Because people are sleeping."

===============

A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied: "They couldn't get a babysitter."

===============

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

===============

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, "Johnny, what is the matter?" Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."

===============

Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, "What do you think about all this Satan stuff?" The other boy replied, "Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your dad."

A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.

The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead?"
"No, I stopped drinking years ago," the homeless man said.

"Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food?" the man asked.
"No, I don't gamble," the homeless man said. "I need everything I can get just to stay alive."

"Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?" the man asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't played golf in 20 years!"

"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."

The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."

The man replied, "Hey, man, that's okay! I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up beer, gambling, and golf!

Here is a special one for you Kamog:
------------------

I just received the following warning:

There is a new virus. The code name is "WORK."
If you receive WORK from your colleagues, your boss, via e-mail, or from anyone else - do not touch WORK under any circumstances.
This virus wipes out your private life completely.

If you should happen to come in contact with this virus, take two friends and go straight to the nearest bar. Order drinks and after three rounds, you will find that WORK has been completely deleted from your brain.

Forward this virus warning immediately to at least five friends.

Should you realize you do not have five friends, this means you are already infected by this virus and WORK already controls your whole life. If this is the case, go to the bar and stay until you make at least five friends.

Then retry.

Have a good day!!!!!!!!

Although she isn't familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and returns to reading her book. Along comes the game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside her and
says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading my book," she replies...as she thinks to herself, "isn't that obvious?"

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.

"But, Officer, I'm not fishing. Can't you see that?"

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have you charged with rape," snaps the woman.

"But, I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"Yes, that's true, she replies, "but you do have all the equipment."

MORAL:
Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Here's another example of someone with too much time and nothing to do.

Check this out:

Is This Your Phone Number?

Ignore your area code & using only 7 digit phone:

1) key-in the first 3 digit of your phone number into the calculator
2) multiply by 80
3) then plus 1
4) multiply by 250
5) plus Last four digit of phone number
6) plus Last four digit of phone number again
7) minus 250
8) divide by 2 at Last

Is the answer your phone number???

Redneck vacation
Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob tells Luther, "Ya know, I reckon I'm 'bout ready for a vacation.

Only this year I'm gonna do it a little different. The Last few years, I took your advice about where to go.

Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earline got pregnant.

Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Earline got pregnant again.

Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earline didn't get pregnant again."

Luther asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year that's different?"

Billy Bob says, "This year I'm taking Earline with me."

710
A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage.
A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.
We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?"
She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one."
She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there.
The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.
She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710.
He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked "is there a 710 on this car?"
She pointed and said, "Of course, its right there."

..as the mechanics laughed, another blond woman came in and looked over their shoulders.. "I don't see why you are all laughing, it was some dumb mechanic that installed it upside down in the first place."

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This will leave any positive integer x completely intact:
1) x div 10000
2) (1) * 80 = (x div 10000)*80
3) (2) + 1 = ((x div 10000)*80) + 1
4) (3) * 250 = (((x div 10000)*80) + 1) * 250 = 250*((x div 10000)*80) + 250 = 250*80*(x div 10000) + 250 = 20000*(x div 10000) + 250
5) (4) + x mod 10000 = 20000*(x div 10000) + 250 + (x mod 10000)
6) (5) + x mod 10000 = 20000*(x div 10000) + 250 + 2*(x mod 10000) = 2*10000*(x div 10000) + 2*(x mod 10000) + 250 = 2*10000*(x/10000) + 250 = 2*x + 250
7) (6) - 250 = 2*x + 250 - 250 = 2*x
8) (7) / 2 = 2*x/2 = x

It doesn't matter what number you start with....

It was the stir of the town when an 80-year-old man married a 20-year-old girl.

After a year of marriage she went into the hospital to give birth.

The nurse came out to congratulate the fellow saying,
"This is amazing. How do you do it at your age?"

He answered,
"You've got to keep that old motor running".

The following year the young bride gave birth gain. The same nurse said,
"You really are amazing. How do you do it?"

He again said
"You've got to keep the old motor running".

The same thing happened the next year. The nurse said,
"Well, well, well! You certainly are quite a man!"

He responded
"You've got to keep that old motor running".

The nurse then said,
"Well, you better change the oil. This one's black".
