    				<![CDATA[ Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, 'Esther,I'd like to ride in that helicopter.'<br />
<br />
Esther always replied, 'I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars'<br />
<br />
One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, 'Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.'<br />
<br />
To this, Esther replied, 'Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'<br />
<br />
The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word, I won't charge you! But if you say one word, it's fifty dollars.'<br />
<br />
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word.<br />
<br />
When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, 'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!'<br />
<br />
Morris replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'<br />

  			<atom:content type='html'>
    				<![CDATA[ Being a jerk can be fun. It gives you a feeling of dominance over others; you are more important then the rest. You are the wolf among a flock of sheep; people fear you, and therefore look up to you. Being a jerk is not hard; all you have to do is think about yourself and your own feelings, and forget that everyone else has emotions. There are various ways of achieving this perception of importance; you can put people down and belittle them, pretend you&rsquo;re better than everyone, or just be plain mean, unpolite, and nasty. Sure, there might be some little voice inside saying that you are no better than anyone else is, but you can drown out that nagging reminder with constant insults to others. Nothing replaces that great feeling of emotional triumph over one of your &quot;peers&quot;. The fact that you have engaged in and won a verbal war (however one-sided it may be) makes you feel as high as the sky, while the opposing party will probably sink like a rock in quicksand. They will think that you are mean (and you are), and they won&rsquo;t want to befriend you or have respect for you, but you won&rsquo;t care because you perceive yourself at a higher standing than they are.<br />
<br />
The foremost aspect of being a jerk is to make people feel inferior by way of your comments and actions; this also gives you a sense of superiority, which makes you feel important. Also, insults can be spiced up by adding sarcastic and witty remarks. Degrading someone is easy; just greet them with a &quot;Hey, loser&quot;, or a cynical &quot;What do you want, _______?&quot; (fill the blank in with your favorite witty obscenity), instead of &quot;Hey, how&rsquo;s it going&quot; or &quot;What have you been up to lately?&quot;. Start off by being sarcastically mean, and you have already got the jump on them. They are on the defensive now. If they continue the conversation with you, then insult them at intervals by rejecting any ideas they present, not laughing at any jokes they tell, or by calling them names and making fun of their appearance. This will make the other person feel insecure and reluctant to talk to you; the people around you will either think your comments are funny (they aspire to be a jerk like you), or they will consider you rude and disgraceful. It doesn&rsquo;t really matter what anyone else thinks though, does it? You are yourself and no one else; you feel only your feelings and no one else&rsquo;s; so why should you be concerned with anyone but yourself? You are king in your own mind, and your perception is everything. <br />
<br />
If you can&rsquo;t be bothered to be a witty, sarcastic jerk, you can just be a regular, mean jerk. This kind of jerk is intolerant and impatient (to a higher degree than the other type of jerk), rude, and unsarcastically mean. The next time someone gives you something or does something for you, don&rsquo;t say thank you or show gratitude; you should even go so far as to complain about what they gave you or how they should accomplish things faster. Don&rsquo;t be grateful; if you are grateful, people will think that they can win your favor with good deeds; that&rsquo;s manipulation. You can&rsquo;t let anyone win your favor; that would show weakness, and you have to be strong to show that you are of great importance. Be disrespectful to everyone, and elders and authority figures especially. Respect can also be linked to weakness, since respecting someone can be taken as giving in and obeying that person. Don&rsquo;t obey; you are your own person, and you should play by your rules alone. This form of jerk is harder to achieve, since a lot of people will end up disliking you, and this type of jerk is more rotten to the core, but accomplish it and it will make you feel in complete control of your life. There is no one above you.<br />
<br />
The key to being a jerk, then, is to believe that you are always at the center of the universe and everything revolves around you. You can&rsquo;t be put on the same level as any other; that&rsquo;s why you need to be disrespectful and insulting to others; you need to make everyone else feel lower, and if these people around you feel lower, then you feel higher. That&rsquo;s what this world is about, getting to the top by stepping on others; the ends justify the means. While you&rsquo;re working your way up, you&rsquo;re also having fun at someone else&rsquo;s expense; belittling others makes you feel good, doesn&rsquo;t it? Maybe you won&rsquo;t be the most respected and liked person in the world, and the only friends you have will be jerks; they could turn their cruel ways against you at any time, but you&rsquo;re ready for them; you&rsquo;re a jerk too. Fight fire with fire. Even so, that&rsquo;s just a small price to pay to have the feeling of massive importance born at the expense of others. Besides, you don&rsquo;t care if those other people are your friends, or if they respect you; they&rsquo;re not as good as you anyway. <br />

    				<![CDATA[ A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw an unusually beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight toward his seat. Lo and behold, she took the seat right beside his. <br />
<br />
Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, &quot;Business trip or vacation?&quot; She turned, smiled and said, &quot;Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniac Convention in Chicago&quot;. <br />
<br />
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, &quot;What's your business role at this convention?&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;Lecturer,&quot; she responded. &quot;I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;Really, &quot; he said, &quot;what myths are those?&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;Well,&quot; she explained, &quot;one popular myth is that African American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.&quot;Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Jewish descent. We have, however, found that the best potential lover in all categories is the Southern redneck.&quot; Suddenly, the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. &quot;I'm sorry,&quot; she said, &quot;I shouldn't really be discussing this with you. I don't even know your name.&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;Tonto,&quot; the man said, &quot;Tonto Goldstein. But my friends call me Bubba.&quot; <br />

    				<![CDATA[ A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway when he notices a sign out of the corner of his eye. It reads: <br />
<br />
SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 10 MILES. <br />
<br />
He thinks it was just a figment of his imagination and drives on without a second thought. Soon, he sees another sign which says: <br />
<br />
SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 5 MILES <br />
<br />
He realizes that these signs are for real. Then he drives past a third sign saying: <br />
<br />
SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT <br />
<br />
His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot is a somber stone building with a small sign next to the door reading: SISTERS OF MERCY <br />
<br />
He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, &quot;What may we do for you, my son?&quot; <br />
<br />
He answers, &quot;I saw your signs along the highway, and was interested in possibly doing business.&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;Very well, my son. Please follow me.&quot; <br />
<br />
He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door, and tells the man, &quot;Please knock on this door.&quot; He does as he is told and this door is answered by another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup. This nun instructs, &quot;Please place $50 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this hallway.&quot; <br />
<br />
He gets $50 out of his wallet and places it in the second nun's cup. <br />
<br />
He trots eagerly down the hall and slips through the door, pulling it shut behind him. <br />
<br />
As the door locks behind him, he finds himself back in the parking lot, facing another small sign: <br />
<br />
GO IN PEACE, YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY. <br />

    				<![CDATA[ Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, <br />
Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95- <br />
year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her <br />
grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, &quot;He had a heart <br />
attack while we were making love on Sunday morning. &quot; <br />
<br />
Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 <br />
years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. <br />
<br />
&quot;Oh no, my dear,&quot; replied granny. &quot;Many years ago, realizing our <br />
advanced age, we figured the best time to do it was when the <br />
church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. <br />
Nice and slow and even. <br />
<br />
Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong.&quot; <br />
She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, &quot;He'd still be <br />
alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along.&quot;<br />

    				<![CDATA[ During the past year I have tried to make love to you 365 times. I have succeeded 36 times, which is an average of once every ten days. The following is a list of why I did not succeed more often:<br />
<br />
54 times the sheets were clean<br />
17 times it was too late<br />
49 times you were too tired<br />
20 times it was too hot<br />
15 times you pretended to be asleep<br />
22 times you had a headache<br />
17 times you were afraid of waking the baby<br />
16 times you said you were too sore<br />
12 times it was the wrong time of the month<br />
19 times you had to get up early<br />
9 times you said weren't in the mood<br />
7 times you were sunburned<br />
6 times you were watching the late show<br />
5 times you didn't want to muss your new hair-do<br />
3 times you said the neighbors would hear us<br />
9 times you said your mother would hear us<br />
<br />
Of the 36 times I did succeed, the activity was not satisfactory because:<br />
<br />
6 times you just laid there<br />
8 times you reminded me there's a crack in the ceiling<br />
4 times you told me to hurry up and get it over with<br />
7 times I had to wake you and tell you I finished<br />
<br />
And:<br />
1 time, I was afraid I had hurt you because I felt you move.<br />
<br />
To My Dear Husband:<br />
<br />
I think you have things a little confused. Here are the reasons you didn't get more than you did:<br />
<br />
5 times you came home drunk and tried to screw the cat<br />
<br />
36 times you did not come home at all<br />
<br />
21 times you didn't cum<br />
<br />
33 times you came too soon<br />
<br />
19 times you went soft before you got in<br />
<br />
38 times you worked too late<br />
<br />
10 times you got cramps in your toes<br />
<br />
29 times you had to get up early to play golf<br />
<br />
2 times you were in a fight and someone kicked you in the balls<br />
<br />
4 times you got it stuck in your zipper<br />
<br />
3 times you had a cold and your nose was running<br />
<br />
2 times you had a splinter in your finger<br />
<br />
20 times you lost the notion after thinking about it all day<br />
<br />
6 times you came in your pajamas while reading a dirty book<br />
<br />
98 times you were too busy watching football, baseball, etc. on TV<br />
<br />
Of the times we did get together, the reason I laid still was because you missed and were screwing the sheets. I wasn't talking about the crack in the ceiling, what I said was ,&quot;Would you prefer me on my back or kneeling?&quot; The time you felt me move was because you farted and I was trying to breathe.<br />

  			<atom:content type='html'>
    				<![CDATA[ <p>This was sent to me by my good friend Missmarie and I thought I would share it with all of you too..<br />
<br />
King Arthur and the Witch:<br />
<br />
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still h ad no answer, he would be put to death.<br />
<br />
The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.<br />
<br />
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princesses, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.<br />
<br />
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.<br />
<br />
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.<br />
<br />
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.<br />
<br />
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Ro und Table and Arthur's closest friend!<br />
<br />
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.<br />
<br />
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.<br />
<br />
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.<br />
<br />
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:<br />
<br />
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.<br />
<br />
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.<br />
<br />
And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.<br />
<br />
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom . But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened<br />
<br />
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.<br />
<br />
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?<br />
<br />
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?<br />
<br />
What would YOU do?<br />
<br />
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT...make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?<br />
<br />
<br />
&quot;Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself&quot;.<br />
<br />
&quot;Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.<br />
<br />
&quot;Now....what is the moral to this story?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The moral is.....<br />
If you don't let a woman have her own way....<br />
Things are going to get ugly<br />

    				<![CDATA[ By now, everyone has heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as &quot;Area 51.&quot; Late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their &quot;secret&quot; base. They immediately impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into an interrogation room.<br />
<br />
The pilot's story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.<br />
<br />
By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying &quot;you-did-not-see-a-base&quot; briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way.<br />
<br />
The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP's surrounded the plane . . . only this time there were two people in the plane.<br />
<br />
The same pilot jumped out and said, &quot;Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!&quot;<br />

Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures,than stress, than success' than what other people think or say and do.<br />
It's more important than appearance. giftedness or skill.<br />
It can make or break a church or family..a home.<br />

We have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day, we cannot change our past, we cannot change that people will act in a certain way.<br />

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. <br />

    				<![CDATA[ An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job. <br />
<br />
The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the interviewer asked, &quot;What is the fastest thing you know of?&quot; <br />
<br />
Acknowledging the first man on his right, the man replied, A THOUGHT. It just pops into your head. There's no warning that it's on the way; it's just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of.&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;That's very good!&quot; replied the interviewer. &quot;And now you sir?&quot; he asked the second man. <br />
<br />
&quot;Hmm....let me see. A BLINK ! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A blink is the fastest thing I know of..&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;Excellent!&quot; said the interviewer. &quot;The blink of an eye ... that's a very popular cliche for speed.&quot; He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply. <br />
<br />
&quot;Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light in the barn comes on in less than an instant. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of.&quot; <br />
<br />
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. &quot;It's hard to beat the speed of light&quot; he said. <br />
<br />
Turning to the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. <br />
<br />
The last man replied, &quot;After hearing the three previous answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.&quot; <br />
<br />
&quot;WHAT!?&quot; said the interviewer, stunned by the response. <br />
<br />
&quot;Oh I can explain,&quot; said the fourth man. &quot;You see the other day I wasn't feeling so good and I ran for the bathroom. But, before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already crapped my pants! <br />

    				<![CDATA[ Dear Mr. Baker, <br />
<br />
As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my coworkers and me during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. <br />
<br />
Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of &quot;cut and paste&quot; for the hundredth time. <br />
<br />
You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. <br />
<br />
You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts. <br />
<br />
1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is &quot;I prefer not to comment.&quot; I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own. <br />
<br />
2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your &quot;favorites list&quot;, which I conveniently saved when you made me &quot;back up&quot; your useless files. I do believe that terms like &quot;Lolita&quot; are not usually viewed favorably by the administration. <br />
<br />
3. When you borrowed the digital camera to &quot;take pictures of your Mother's birthday,&quot; you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.) <br />
<br />
Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that free time! <br />
<br />
Wishing you a grand and glorious day, <br />
<br /> ]]>
