BACKGROUND: A man checks into a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Immediately after he checks in, he climbs out on the ledge and prepares to jump. A policeman sees him on the ledge, and then ... POLICEMAN: Wait, don't jump! Think of your family. Please, do not jump! MAN: I have no family. I have nothing to live for. I'm going to jump. POLICEMAN: Wait, don't jump! Think of your friends. Please, do not jump! MAN: I have no friends. I have nothing to live for. I'm going to jump. POLICEMAN: Wait, don't jump! Think of Southern honor and show respect to the memory of Jefferson Davis. Please, do not jump! MAN: Jefferson Davis? Who is Jefferson Davis? POLICEMAN: Jump Yankee, jump! _________________________________ Margaret Thatcher died and was carried into the great beyond. She immediately called a press conference and to everyone's amazement announced: "This is a rather super place. I'd even go so far as to say that Heaven is as good as the beloved Britain I have moulded and just left behind." "But", they told her, "this isn't Heaven." __________________________________ Picture of George Bush on left in 'speaking posture', words in bubble are: "We SHELL not EXXONerate Saddam Hussein. Our forces have MOBILized to protect our interests in the persian GULF, and we seek an AMOCOable solution." ____________________________________________________ I WISH! The bride-to-be and her best friend were discussing the former's impending wedding. "If you want an unforgettable wedding night," her friend said, "get him to eat a dozen oysters after the ceremony." A week later, the new bride thanked her friend but said plaintively, "Only eight of the oysters worked." ____________________________________ Two very elderly men were having a conversation about sex: 1st: Yessir, I did it three times last night with a 30 year old! 2nd: You're kidding! I can't even manage to do it once! What's your secret? 1st: Well, the secret is to eat lots of whole-wheat bread. I'm not kidding! So the second old man rushed to the store. Clerk: May I help you? Old man: Yes, I'd like four loaves of whole-wheat bread, please. Clerk: That's a lot of bread! It's sure to get hard before you're done! Old man: Damn! Does EVERYONE know about this except me?
