John Kerry is a Saint

John Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington as part of his campaign.  Kerry's campaign manager made a visit to the Cardinal, and said to him. "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and the like.  We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if, during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint. The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to it. Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses, the Cardinal begins his homily.
"John Kerry is petty, a self absorbed hypocrite and a nit-wit.  He is a liar, a cheat, and a thief.  He is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever personally known.  But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint."

A Country War

A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were fighting in a war, and both were caught by the enemy.  "Before I put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"  The Alabama man said, "Could you shoot me after you play the song 'Alabama Rose?" "Sure," the man agreed. "How about you?"  The Tennessee man said, "Could you shoot me before you play 'Alabama Rose?"

David's Brother David

A woman went down to the Welfare Office to get aid. The office worker asked her, "How many children do you have?"  "Ten," she replied. "What are their names?" he asked. "David, David, David, David, David, David, David, David, David and David," she answered. "They're all named David?" he asked "What if you want them to come in from playing outside?" "Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just call 'David,' and they all come running in."  "And, if you want them to come to the table for dinner?" "I just say, 'David, come eat your dinner'," she answered. "But what if you just want ONE of them to do something?" he asked.  "Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just use their last name!"

Is it progress?

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason, you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning  light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna
9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You would have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Lawyer Joke

What happens when a lawyer takes Viagra? They grow taller.

Another lawyer joke

An engineer died and ended up in Hell. He was not pleased with the level of comfort in Hell, and began to redesign and build improvements. After a while, they had toilets that flush, air conditioning, and escalators. Everyone grew very fond of him. One day God called to Satan to mock him, "So, how's it going down there in Hell?"  Satan replied, "Hey, things are great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God was surprised, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake. He should never have gotten down there in the first place. Send him back up here." "No way," replied Satan. "I like having an engineer, and I'm keeping him." God threatened, "Send him back up here now or I'll sue!" Satan laughed and answered, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
