Packing

my dad packs me sushi one more time, I'm going to jump off this cliff".

a row, I'm going to jump off this cliff". The American kid says, "I
know what you mean. If I get a turkey sandwich one more day, I'll jump off
this cliff". A few days later, at the group funeral for all three kids,

Joke

(July 31, 2006 - August 6, 2006)
George
W. Bush and a secret service agent are taking a stroll when they come upon a
little girl carrying a basket with a blanket over it. Curious, Bush asks the
girl, "What's in the basket?"
"New baby kittens," she replies, and she opens the basket to show
him.
"How nice," says Bush. "What kind are they?"
The little girl says, "Republicans."
Bush smiles, pats the little girl on the head and continues on.
Three weeks later, Bush is taking another stroll, this time with Karl Rove*. They see the little girl again with the same basket. Bush says, "Watch
this, Karl -- it's really cute."
They approach the little girl. Bush greets her and asks how the kittens are
doing, and she says, "Fine."
Then, smirking, he nudges Rove with his elbow and asks the little girl,
"And can you tell us what kind of kittens they are?"
She replies, "Democrats."
Aghast, Bush says, "But three weeks ago you said they were Republicans!"
"I know," she says. "But now their eyes are open."

Joke
of the week [212 = year 5, #4]: "Bush bashing" (2)
(August 7, 2006 - August 13, 2006)
After numerous rounds
of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive", Osama himself decided to send George Bush a
letter in his own handwriting to let him know
he was still in the game.
Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a
single line of coded message: 370H-SSV-0773H.
Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condoleeza
Rice.
Condi and her aides had not a clue either, so they
sent it to the FBI.
No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the
CIA, then to NASA.
Eventually they asked Britain's MI-6 for help.
Within a minute MI-6 cabled the White House with this
reply. "Tell the President he's holding
the message upside down."
Joke

(August 14, 2006 - August 20, 2006)
George
Bush had just landed in a fighter plane on the deck of the aircraft carrier
Abraham Lincoln, which displayed a huge banner that read "MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED". (That
was in May of 2003 - for those of who have forgotten this incident.) Karl Rove, the
President's chief spin-doctor, thought that, after the obligatory photo-op,
Bush should give a short press conference, still clad in his flight gear. So,
surrounded by a group of hand-picked journalists, Bush answered their
questions. When asked by one of these "embedded" journalists what
his plans were for Iraq Bush replied: "Well, now that we've won the war
we're gonna divide up Iraq into three parts: premium, premium extra and diesel."

Saudia
Arabia's ambassador to the United Nations has just finished his speech to the
General Assembly and has left for the lobby. There he meets George W. Bush.
They shake hands and engage in the usual small talk. As Bush turns to go the
Saudi Arabian ambassador he says to Bush: "Mr President, I've got a
question that has got something to do with something I've seen on American TV,
to be more exact with the series Star Trek, a series my son is a great
fan of. And it's for my son that I want to ask you this question."
"Well, what's the problem, your eminency?" Bush replies. "Well,
Mr President, the ambassador answers, "in this series, there are
Americans, even African Americans, Russians and Asians, but no Arabs and my
son is really upset about this." George W. Bush then smiles knowingly and
whispers into the ambassador's ear: "That's because the series is set in
the future ..."

(April 23, 2007 - April 29, 2007)
A
Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has screwed him for ten million
bucks. This bookkeeper is deaf. It was considered an occupational benefit, and
why he got the job in the first place, since it was assumed that a deaf
bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything he'd ever have to testify about
in court.
When the Godfather goes to shakedown the bookkeeper
about his missing $10 million bucks, he brings along his attorney, who knows
sign language. The Godfather asks the bookkeeper: "Where is the 10
million bucks you embezzled from me?" The attorney, using sign language,
asks the bookkeeper where the 10 million dollars is hidden.
The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you
are talking about." The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he
doesn't know what you're talking about."
That's when the Godfather pulls out a 9 mm pistol, puts
it to the bookkeeper's temple, cocks it, and says: "Ask him again!"
The attorney signs to the underling: "He'll kill you for sure if you
don't tell him!"
The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money
is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard
in Queens!" The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"
The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the
balls to pull the trigger."
Joke
of the week [250 = year 5, #42]: smart dog
(April 30, 2007 - May 6, 2007)
Joe
invited his friend Bill to come to his cabin by the lake, so they could do
some duck hunting. As they enjoyed a cold beer, Joe said "My dog here is
so smart, he can tell you how many ducks are on the lake at any time."
Bill seemed sceptical, so Joe opened the door and sent the dog out. The dog
came back shortly, sat down and barked three times. When the two men looked
out, there were 3 ducks on the lake.
Later, the dog went out again, came back and barked 5
times. Sure enough, there were 5 ducks on the lake.
At supper, the dog went out again, and came back,
very excited, with a large branch in his mouth, shaking it vigorously from
side to side. Bill asked "What does that mean"? Joe said "That
means there are more ducks out there than you can shake a stick at*!"

A burly, good ol' Texan on a flight flags down a steward and says, "Captain,
I want a drink but I don't see the stewardess around."
The steward answers, "Actually, I'm not the captain. This airline is
proud to have integrated many of the male-female roles of the industry. I'd be
happy to get you a drink."
Passenger: "Wow, what does the captain think of that?"
Steward: "She's all for it. In fact the entire flight crew is female."
Passenger: "I don't believe it! Take me up to the cockpit so I can see
for myself!"
Steward: "Actually, sir, we don't call it that anymore."
Joke
of the week [253 = year 5, #45]: Irish joke (9)
(May 21, 2007 - May 27, 2007)
Two Irish workmen are digging a ditch across from a brothel, when one
notices a rabbi walking into the place. The first workman says to the other,
"Sure, it's a sad day when men of the cloth go into a place like that."
After a little while, the other man sees a vicar walking into the brothel.
He stands up and says to his workmate: "Now, did you see that? No
wonder the children today are so confused with the example the clergy is
setting them." After about another hour, the first workman sees a
Catholic priest walk in. He promptly stands up and proclaims to his partner, "Aye,
that is truly sad. One of the poor girls must be dying."

(June 11, 2007 - June 17, 2007)
An Irishman went to a library and asked the librarian if he could
recommend any plays for him to read. "How about Shaw?" said the
librarian. "I'll give him a try," answered the Irishman, so the
librarian handed him The Complete Plays of George Bernard Shaw. Next
day he returned saying he had finished the book and had enjoyed it very much.
"Do you have any more plays by the same author?" he enquired. For a
joke, the librarian gave him a telephone directory to take home, and when the
Irishman returned two days later the librarian asked him if he had enjoyed it.
"Well," said the Irishman, "I didn't think much of the plot,
but what a cast!"

A duck walks into a
bar wearing a hard-hat, safety vest, and tool belt. He sits down at the bar and says to the bartender,
"I'll have a beer." Flabbergasted, the
bartender pours a beer and hands it to the duck. He tosses it back and orders
another. The bartender can't believe what he's witnessing but pours another
and watches as the duck downs it in one gulp. "Where are you from?" asks
the bartender. "Construction site across the street. One more please, and
I'll be on my way." Pouring a third, he asks the duck, "Do you know how
much money you could make with the circus?" "Circus?" the duck
asks and
slams his last beer. "What would the circus want with a bricklayer?"
