who were conducting studies on test drugs administered weekly
doses of VIAGRA to an equal number of doctors and lawyers.
While the majority of the doctors achieved enhanced sexual prowess,
the lawyers simply grew taller.
The US government researchers are at a loss to explain.

Dear Dr. Laura,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people
regarding God's Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with
as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual
lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly
states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from
you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow
them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus
21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for
her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I
tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and
female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine
claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you
clarify?
Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
him?
Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
Abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't
agree.
Can you settle this?
g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How
should they die?
i) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of thread. (cotton/polyester blend) He also tends to curse
and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble
of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev. 24:10-16)
Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair
like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things
extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us
that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied,
"When I'm worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka
next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon,he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to
talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his
office after mass, he found the following note on the door:
1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet
his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't
say he was stoned off his ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the
"Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this
and eat it for it is my body."
He did not say"Eat me"
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry,"
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the
grub, yeah God.
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter
pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a
country road.
A brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him.
The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban
glasses, and Jovial Swiss wrist watch, gets out and asks the shepherd: "If
I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?"
The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the sprawling field of
sheep and says: "Okay."
The young man parks the SUV, connects his notebook and wireless modem,
enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60
Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 page report on his
high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says: "You have
exactly 1,586 sheep here."
The shepherd answers: "That's correct, you can have your sheep."
The young man takes one of the animals and puts it in the back of his
vehicle.
The shepherd looks at him and asks: "Now, if I guess your profession, will
you pay me back in kind?" The young man answers: "Sure."
The shepherd says: "You are a consultant."
"Exactly! How did you know," asks the young man?
Very simple, answers the shepherd.
"First, you came here without being called.
Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew.
Third, you do not understand anything about my business and I'd really like
to have my dog back."
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are camping in the great outdoors. As they
look up at the night sky, Holmes says:
" Watson tell me what you see!"
Watson says: "I see million of stars."
Holmes says: "And what does that tell you?"
Watson says: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are million of galaxies
and billion of planets! Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that
we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will
have a beautiful day tomorrow.....What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes says: "Somebody stole our fucking tent!"
When Charles deGaulle decided to retire from public life, the British
ambassador and his wife threw a gala dinner party in his honour. At the
dinner table the Ambassador's wife was talking with Madame de Gaulle.
"Your husband has been such a prominent public figure, such a presence on
the French and International scene for so many years! How quiet
retirement
will seem in comparison. What are you most looking forward to in these
retirement years?"
"A penis," replied Madame deGaulle.
A huge hush fell over the table. Everyone heard her answer...and no one
knew what to say next.
Le Grand Charles leaned over to his wife and said, "Ma cherie, I believe
ze
English pronounce zat word, 'appiness!'"

A man lies on his deathbed, surrounded by his family: a weeping wife
and four children. Three of the children are tall, good looking and athletic; but, the
fourth and
youngest is an ugly runt.
"Darling wife," the husband whispers, "assure me that the youngest child
really is mine. I want to know the truth before I die, I will forgive you if ..."
The wife gently interrupts him. "Yes, my dearest, absolutely, no question, I swear on
my mother's grave that you are his father."
The man then dies, happy. The wife mutters under her breath: "Thank God he
didn't ask about the other three."

Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Hillary, and I got one
for Chelsea."
The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and replies,
"Nice trade, sir" !

Dear Cassius:
Are you still working on the Y zero K problem? This change from BC to AD is giving us a lot of headaches and we haven't much time left. I don't know how people will cope with working the wrong way around. Having been working happily downwards forever, now we have to start thinking upwards. You would think that someone would have thought of it earlier and not left it to us to sort it all out at this last minute.
I spoke to Caesar the other evening. He's livid that Julius hadn't done something about it when he's sorting our the calendar. He said he could see why Brutus turned nasty. We called in Consultus, but he simply said that continuing downwards using minus BC won't work and as usual charged a fortune for doing nothing useful. Surely, we will not have to throw out all our hardware and start again? Macrohard will make yet another fortune out of this, I suppose.
The money lenders are paranoid of course! They have been told that all usury rates will invert and they will have to pay their clients to take out loans.Its an ill wind....
As for myself, I just can't see the sand in an hourglass flowing upwards. We have heard that there are three wise men in the East who have been working on the problem, but unfortunately they won't arrive until it's all over. I have heard that there are plans to stable all horses at midnight at the turn of the year as there are fears that they will stop and try to run backwards, causing immense damage to chariots and possible loss of life. Some say the world will cease to exist at the moment of transition.
Anyway, we are still continuing to work on this blasted Y zero K problem. I will send a parchment to you if anything further develops.
If you have any ideas please let me know,
Plutonius
A local bar was so sure its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet: The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people tried over time (weight lifters, longshoremen, etc.), but nobody could do it. One day this scrawny little men came in, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, "I'd like to try the bet."
After the laughter had died down, the bartender agreed, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. Then he handed the dried, wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man. But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man, "What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight lifter, or what?"
The man replied, " I work for the IRS."

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this may
certainly change things. Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together
a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of that year's incoming freshmen.
Here's this year's list:
1. The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1980.
2. They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan Era and did not know he had ever been shot.
3. They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged.
4. Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression.
5. There has been only one Pope. They can only really remember one president.
6. They were 11 when the Soviet Union broke apart and do not remember the Cold War.
7. They have never feared a nuclear war.
8. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up, and Tiananmen Square means nothing to them.
9. Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
10. They never had a Polio shot, and likely do not know what it is.
11. Bottle caps have not only always been screw off, but have always = been plastic. They have no idea what a pull-top can
12. Atari pre-dates them, as do vinyl albums.
13. The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them.
14. They have never owned a record player.
15. They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong.
16. Star Wars looks very fake to them, and the special effects are pathetic.
17. There have always been red M&Ms, and blue ones are not new. What do you mean there used to be beige ones?
18. They may have heard of an 8-track, but chances are they've probably never actually seen or heard one.
19. The Compact Disc was introduced when they were 1 year old.
20. As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents.
21. They have always had an answering machine.
22. Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black-and-white TV.
23. They have always had cable.
24. There have always been VCRs, but they have no idea what BETA is.
25. They can't fathom not having a remote control.
26. They were born the year that Walkmans were introduced by Sony.
27. Roller-skating has always meant inline for them.
28. The Tonight Show has always been with Jay Leno.
29. They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool.
30. Popcorn has always been cooked in a microwave.
31. They have never seen Larry Bird play, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a football player.
32. They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
33. The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as WWI, WWII, or even the Civil War.
34. They have no idea that Americans were ever held hostage in Iran.
35. They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
36. They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
37. They never heard the terms: "Where's the beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel," or "de plane, de plane!"
38. They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. is.
39. The Titanic was found? I thought we always knew where it was.
40. Michael Jackson has always been white.
41. Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are cities, not bands.
42. McDonald's never came in styrofoam containers.
43. There has always been MTV.
Things you would never know without the movie industry:
1. Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people--whether they are employed or not.
2. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil
3. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
4. Mos laptop computers are po werful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.
5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts -- your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
6. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
