"Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!" _________________________ The White House is allegedly sending Dan Quayle to People's Republic of China to find out who is really in charge. Asked whether in the current reign of terror it might be unsafe for our beloved VP to go, John Sununu, the White House Chief of Staff, answered : 'Oh no no, in China they only persecute intellectuals'. _________________________ A small balding storms into a local bar and demands "Gimme a double of the strongest whiskey you got! I'm so pissed I can't even see straight!" The bartender, noticing that the little man is a bit the worse for wear, pours him a double of Southern Comfort. The swills down the drink and says "Gimme another one!". The bartender pours the drink, but says "Now, before I give you this, why don't you let off a little steam and tell me why you're so upset?" So the begins his tale: "Well, I was sitting in the bar next door when this gorgeous blonde slinks in, and actually sits beside me at the bar. I thought WOW, this has never happened before. You know, it was kind of a fantasy come true. Well, a couple of minutes later I feel this hand moving around in my lap and the blonde leans over, licks my ear, and asks if I'm interested? I couldn't believe this was happening! I managed to nod my head yes, so she grabs my hand, and starts walking out of the bar. So of course I went with her. This was just too good to be true!" "She took me down the street here to a nice hotel and up to her room. As soon as she shut the door she slips out of her dress. That was all she was wearing! I tell you it didn't take me much longer to get out of my clothes! But as soon as I jumped into the bed, I hear some keys jingling, and someone starts fumbling with the door." The blonde says "Ohmygod, it's my boyfriend. He must have lost his wrestling match tonight, he's gonna be real mad! Quick, HIDE!" "So, I opened at the closet, but I figured that was probably he first place he would look, so I didn't hide there. Then I looked under the bed, but no, I figured he's bound to look there, too. By now I could here the key in the lock. I noticed the window was open, so I climbed out and was hanging there by my fingers praying that the guy wouldn't see me." The bartender says "Well I can see how you might be a bit frustrated at this point." "Well, yeah, but I hear the guy finally get the door open and he yells out 'Who you been sleeping with now, bitch?' The girl says 'Nobody, honey, now come to bed and calm down'. Well the guy starts tearing up the room. I hear him tear the door off the closet and throw it across the room. I'm thinking 'Boy, I'm glad I didn't hide in there.' Then I hear him lift up the bed and throw it across the room. Good thing I didn't hide under there either." "Then I here him say 'What's that over there by the window?' I think 'Oh Shit, I'm dead meat now'. But the blond by now is trying real hard to distract him and convince him to stop looking." "Well, I hear the guy go into the bathroom, and I hear water running for a long time, and I figure maybe he's gonna take a bath or something, when all of a sudden the asshole pours a pitcher of scalding hot water out of the window right on top of my head! I mean look at this, I got second degree burns all over my scalp and shoulders!" The bartender says, "Oh man, that would have pissed me off for sure." "No, that didn't really bother me. Next the guy starts slamming the window shut over and over on my hands. I mean, look at my fingers. They're a bloody mess, I can hardly hold onto this glass." The bartender looks at the guy's hands and says "Yeah, buddy, I can understand why you are so upset." "No, that wasn't what really pissed me off." The bartender then asks in exasperation, "Well, then, what DID finally piss you off?" "Well I was hanging there, and I turned around and looked down, and I was only about 6 inches off the ground!" _________________________ COMPUTER STORIES FROM A FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER When I worked for a company that had a contract with 3M, 3M had asked me to write them a memo describing why we were having problems with diskette failures. I said in the memo that the disks were failing due to head crashes. "If the customers would just clean their heads periodically, we wouldn't have these problems," I said in the memo. One customer responded with "What kind of shampoo do you recommend?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ An end-user hotline received a call about a bad software disk. They asked the customer to make a copy of the disk and mail it in to the hotline. A few days later, they received a letter with a mimeographed copy of the disk. Since it was a double-sided disk, both sides of the disk had been xeroxed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Computer Operator says as she is lifting an RP06 disk pack from the drive: "Gee, how much does one of these weigh?" Me: "It depends on how much data is on the disk.... The operator believed it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another friend of mine in a similar situation reports having a student in the lab one day, who had to abort out of the SET PASSWORD sequence because he couldn't think of a six-letter word. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- _________________________ Assembly language: Language of choice for Scrabble players. Allows the smallest and fastest routines to be written in five months instead of one. Extra points for variable names rich in Q's and Z's. Basic: Language of choice by non-programmers. Bulletin board: Mechanism to allow the socially autistic to masquerade as real people and communicate with one another by posting cleaver near-random commentary on a remote computer. C: Short for "chutzpah", a quality needed before tackling even the simplest program with this language. C is also the symbol for the speed of light, but that has absolutely nothing to do with how quickly one can learn or use the language. C encourages self-documenting structured programming through constructs such as (*wnd->func)(*++addr) which means call the routine whose address is stored in the "func" part of the structure pointed to by "wnd", and pass to it the contents of the cell pointed to by the pointer in "addr" after it (the pointer, not the contents) has been incremented. Or something like that. Clone: An acronym standing for "Copied Low-cost Optimal Non-IBM Equipment". Often used as a cure for the dreaded Big Blue. Texas, land of independent self-styled individualists, is current "Siliclone Valley" where imagination is limited only by IBM. Consultant: Unemployed computer expert. Demo: A method of program testing that tends to isolate numerous non-reproducible program behaviors. Fixing said abnormalities is difficult because they only appear when the debugging software is not loaded, and when several potential buyers are watching. EISA: Chinese for "we copied it without duplicating it". Inscrutable alternative to Micro Channel Architecture, (MCA); backed by everybody but IBM. Gang of Nine: Originally the Gang of None, this is a group of 100+ coming-of-age companies marked by their new-found willingness to tell IBM jokes in public, and their unwillingness to pay IBM bus royalties. Answer: EISA, MCA, and Greyhound. Question: name two dogs and a bus. Hackers: A programmer who grew up tapping out Morse Code on a ham radio, and has never forgiven IBM for not putting a front switch panel on the original PC. IBM: Standards proposing organization. IBM develops hardware architectures, and builds slow underpowered prototypes for other companies to improve upon. See Clone. Local Area Network (LAN): High-tech cousin of the mainframe nominally designed to allow people to share information and snoop into personal letters and resumes queued for the laser printer. True rationale is to (a) sell hardware, and (b) build data processing (DP) empires. When a DP operation runs smoothly, it gets no attention from money-laden-management. LAN's purchased by "technology visionaries" to "increase power and future capacity" guarantee anomalous problems for years to come. Tech-terrified managers are told that bonuses "to keep our valuable people" and more hardware budget are the only solutions to the problems. Blackmail buys electronic mail. Micro Channel Architecture (MCA): IBM's new bus that caries information in 32-bit packets. The first bus developed solely by lawyers, it is considered copy-proof (the theory being that no one would want anything created by lawyers). The bus is actually 48 bits wide, but the lawyers take 1/3 of anything they work on. A not-so-subtle attempt to limit the market to IBM. Microsoft: Contract programming house for IBM, and primary sustainer of the clone market. IBM pays MS to write fancy software, then MS tweaks it a little, slaps the MS logon on it, and sells it to all the clone folks so they can keep competing with IBM. There is no truth to the rumor that former Mafioso procure the IBM contracts for MS. All products are given generic names (Word, Project, Works, Windows, etc.) to (a) confuse everybody unless (b) the name "Microsoft" is constantly repeated. Made the founder $300,000,000+ in one day. Next: Experimental computer backed by Ross Perot and powered by charisma. The main problem is that few homes or offices have charisma outlets. Name-wise reminiscent of the "The Last One", an old CP/M program so-named because it was powerful enough to create all your future application programs (making it the last program you would have to buy). It was also powered by charisma. Novice: A person who talks about learning Basic, and spends all of his/her time trying to get into the joke and adult message bulletin boards. Ph.D.: A user with more sense than money. Ph.D's generally have elegant solutions to problems that don't exist. The (top-down, of course) solutions always work because they have never been programmed. (Stands for piled high and deep, as in B.S., M.S., Ph.D. = bull s..t, more s..t, etc. ed.) Power user: A user with more money than sense. A power user buys all the latest and greatest hardware, spends long hours running short timing tests, and grants 30+ interviews per week to columnists. Proud to know every variation of the DOS dir command. As a kid, the power user was first in line to see "Star Wars" (all 22 times s/he saw it), and acted as assistant equipment manager for the football team. Presentation Manager: IBM's Next-influenced Windows-derived display and user interface program. It is almost compatible with Windows, thus, causing PMS (Presentation Manager Schizophrenia) among developers who don't know where to target their work. They usually settle for something other than PM which could kill it (if its OS/2-heritage doesn't do it first). Structured design: Program development technique which stresses the stepwise decomposition of problems in an egoless environment. Often results in the spontaneous decomposition of egos. Reportedly used in several big projects, none of which have been completed yet. See top-down. Top-down: Program design methodology which is equivalent to solving a maze by starting at the treasure chest in the middle (the program goal) and tracing backwards to see how to get there. Works flawlessly if you do indeed start at the program goal. A decidedly dull approach to programming. Thank goodness, not one single program goal has ever been fully know before the program was completed, so one must eventually resort to bottom-up programming. The "goto" programming construct is not allowed and the whole program is split into subroutines of not more than 25 lines of code (most of which are subroutine calls). User group: A collection of long-time bulletin board users who couldn't stand not knowing what each other looked like. To cure this curiosity, they periodically get together. It works - most members can now stand not knowing what other BB'ers look like. Virus: A program designed for maximum portability. _________________________ Peter Ludwig, a caver from Austria who is appalled by American driving habits, offers the following advice: The probability of being involved in a traffic accident is directly proportional to time spent on the road. Driving fast decreases one's exposure. One third of traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers; two thirds are caused by non-drunk drivers. Therefore, the safest way to drive is drunk and VERY fast. Drivers in California are greatly distressed by rain. First, since you can't see the car ahead of you clearly, they tailgate him more effectively. Second, since they just *hate* rain in _sunny_California_, they just drive faster to get home in a hurry. _________________________ There were three convicts condemned to death. All three were given a choice of how to die. They had three choices: 1. Die by electric chair, 2. Die in the gas chamber, 3. Get injected with the AIDS virus. The Italian chose the chair, the Irishman chose the gas chamber, the Polish guy chose the Aids virus. "Why did you choose AIDS", asked the other two, "Because, I won't catch it" the Pole said. "Why not"? they asked" "Because", the Polish guy said, "I'm wearing a condom" _________________________ Q: How many programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: None.

The man said , "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?" The doc- tor looked puzzled but agreed. When the couple fin- ished, The doctor said, "There is nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse", and he charged them $32.00. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse, pay the doctor and leave. Finally the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?" The old man said, "We're not trying to find out any- thing. She is married and we can't go to her house. I am married and can't go to mmy house. The Holiday INN charges $60.00. The Hilton charges $78.00. We do it here for $32.00 and I get back $28.00 from Medicare for a visit to the Doctor's Office. _________________________ There was this Jew who prayed daily to win the lottery. "God," he'd say, "please let me win the lottery. Please Please let me win the lottery." About ten years of this passed, and our Jew, still praying every day, was getting a mite exasperated. Finally he said, "God, why haven't I won the lottery? I've prayed every day for ten years and I haven't won the lottery." "Irving," a voice boomed, "at least meet me half way and purchase a lottery ticket." The sailor and the priest were playing golf. The sailor was not very good at it, and uttered a loud "Fuck, missed!" each time he missed. The priest tolerated him for a few minutes and couldn't take it no more. "Do not swear thus, my friend, or God will punish you". It didn't make a difference, the sailor continued unabated. One after another, the sailor played badly, and followed up with "Fuck, missed!!". Again, the priest said "Do not utter such profanities, or God will show you a sign". It didn't help, and the next stroke missed was followed by a loud "Fuck, missed!!". A bolt of lightning dropped out of the clouds and struck the priest dead. A voice was heard in the clouds "Fuck, missed!!!". _________________________ The Big Bad Wolf says to Little Red Riding Hood: I'm going to _fuck_ your brains out.

And, as such things happen, they eventually are going to have a baby. The woman's time comes, and as she is taken into the operating room, she calls he husband over and says to him: "Honey, there's something I really have to tell you." "Can't this wait" says the husband. "No", explains the wife. "There is as an very old tradition in JEG/KfS families that the oldest living male *always* gets to name any new children born to anyone in the family. That means my brother must name our children. I know this comes as a shock, but I couldn't tell you earlier, because I didn't want to upset you." "But, but..." sputters the husband "I *know* your brother. There's no question but that he'll screw this up!" "I'm sorry" says the wife, "but that's the way it has to be." Time is getting short, and not wanting to upset his wife any further, the husband finally relents. The blessed time comes, and to every one's surprise the mother gives birth to a set of healthy, beautiful twins, a boy and a girl. The father is of course delighted, but his happiness is tempered by the question he knows he must ask his wife. Finally, he can put it off no longer. "Alright" he asks, taking a deep breath, "what did your brother name our daughter?" "Denise" says the mother, quietly. "Oh", says the surprised father. "That's a pretty name. Perhaps this won't be so bad after all. What did he name our son?" "Denephew" said the mother. _________________________ Hooker accidently hits on a vice cop who's just about to go off-shift, he really wants to avoid the paperwork of processing this Bimbo now, preferring to go home and eat his dinner.

The tart agrees, and in fact shows up at the vice cop's house the following day. The cop hands her $100, shows her his badge and says: "Paint my house." _________________________ "Nowadays, when opportunity knocks, you have to unlock both deadbolts, remove the chain, and turn off the burglar alarm..." _________________________ Two IBM salesmen were driving down a country road at high speed and passed a pickup truck with an old couple inside.

Well, sure enough, a little while later the couple comes across a bad accident involving the two IBM salesmen. "Well maw, we got to do what any good folk would do and give em a decent burial." So the couple dug a hole and buried the IBM salesman. Just as they were putting their tools away, a cop drives up. "You folks see this accident?" "No sir, but we knew them dang fools were going to have it when they passed us doing a hunert miles an hour. Well, we finally come across the accident and gave them IBM salesman a decent burial" "You were sure that they were dead??" "Well, they said they weren't, but you know how those IBM salesmen exaggerate!" _________________________ Three s, looking for some extra cash, decide to rob a liquor store.

Spuds Khomenini: The original party animal _________________________ Xerox officials held an emergency press conference Wedensday to announce a total recall of all Reprotron 5000 Three-Dimensional Copy Machines. Xerox stock has plummeted to a new all-time low since the release of the innovative device. Xerox hailed the Reprotron 5000 as a "new revolution in copying" when it introduced the machine just two weeks ago, and market insiders were certain that the copier would send Xerox stock through the roof. At a demonstration of the Reprotron in August, Xerox staffers made full three-dimensional copies of an Oriental vase, a bowl of fruit, and a perfect red rose. Reporters were invited to sample apples and oranges copied from the original fruit, though Xerox technicians did warn that the copied fruit might taste slightly of toner. John Thompson (inventor of the Reprotron) stepped forward to make a copy of a Manhattan phone book, but accidentally copied his hand and forearm. He quickly disposed of the highly detailed, frantically wiggling half-limb as it slid out of the copier's delivery slot. But Xerox wasn't ready for what happened next. "We assumed that people would behave as responsible, thinking human beings with this copier, and obviously we were wrong," Thompson states. From all across the USA, reports have been filing in of the copier being used in what Thompson calls "sick, greedy ways." At a Copy Center in Austin, Texas, a couple was arrested for making 15 copies of their three-year-old son, Jeremy, and then refusing to pay for the copies, claiming that some of the new children were "smudged." Local authorities were uncertain as to which charges should be pressed. In Union City, Arizona, Treasury Department officials are investigating reports of a secretary who allegedly copied a single bar of gold bullion 150 times. A task force investigator stated, "Granted, it takes money to make money, but we're almost certain that this action is in violation of some laws." Xerox officials are also under fire from consumers, due to rumors that the three-dimensional copying technology is imperfect. Harold Butz of Peoria, Pennsylvania, made a copy of a common cement brick spray-painted gold. Butz claims he was "shocked and dismayed" when he discovered that the machine-made copy was 22-karat solid gold. "All I wanted was a really good copy of a cement brick spray-painted gold'" Butz stated. "What the hell am I going to do with this thing?" Xerox plans to scrap all the machines they are able to recall, but Thompson expressed concern over the so-called "black market Reprotrons." "Apparently some sick and greedy people discovered that if they had two machines, they could use one to make a working copy of the other," Thompson revealed. "To tell the truth, we only sold two machines in all - to the Cappelli family, a New Jersey based Meat packing firm. These copy pirates should be aware that as with anything that is copied from a copy and so on, there are bound to be defects in the copies produced. We have no idea what kind of stuff will pop out of the slot when a person copies something on a fourth- or fifth-generation machine." Thompson declined to comment on reports that hundreds of the pirated machines have a human thumb attached to the coin slot which constantly wiggles - the result of a person's thumb getting in the way during one of the original copier-to-copier copies. "Ultimately, we're not too worried," Thompson stated. "People owning the copiers will eventually run out of the fluid that make the machine work, and we've taken all the fluid off the market. A machine can only last two weeks or so without a fluid refill, and there won't be any fluid refills." When asked why people with copiers couldn't simply make copies of the fluid cannisters they already have, Xerox officials hastily ended the press conference, stating that they "need to reconsider a few things." _________________________ q: What is the difference between true love and a CD? a: A CD is forever q: What is the difference between love and true love? a: Spit and Swallow One hooker to another "Things are getting so bad, i let this guy fuck me last night just to be able to take a taxi home".

When he arrives the receptionist asks him to fill a bottle for the doctor. Thinking that this seems a little strange being that he is seeing the doctor for tennis elbow, asks what for. The re- ceptionist tells him that the doc has a new machine that can di- agnose any ailment by the patients urine. He was skeptical but submitted. Then when he finally saw the doctor he asked him about it. The doctor told him all about it; how it cost $1 million, and how it cut his office time in 1/2, and now he can spend endless hours out on the golf course. The doctor tells the man to take it easy for 2 weeks, and come back with another urine sample. So the guy figures he'll play a trick on the doc, so he asks his family to help. This is what they did: his wife pissed in it, his daughter pissed in it, he put a couple drops of oil from his car in it. Then to top it off, he jerks off in it. Two weeks pass, and he returns to the doc's office and gives him the urine sample. The doc analyzes it and tells him he has some bad news. He says, "your wife has vd, your daughter is pregnant, your car is about to throw a rod, and if you keep jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better." _________________________ The pretty teacher was concerned with one of her eleven-year-old students.

Anyway, he just felt so good, he went out and cornered a small monkey and roared at him: "WHO IS THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL THE JUNGLE ANIMALS?" And this poor quaking little monkey replied: "You are of course, no one is mightier than you." A little while later this tiger confronts a deer, and just bellows out: "WHO IS THE GREATEST AND STRONGEST OF ALL THE JUNGLE ANIMALS?" The deer is shaking so hard it can barely speak, but manages to stammer: "Oh great tiger, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle." The tiger, being on a roll, swaggered, up to an elephant that was quietly munching on some weeds, and roared at the top of his voice: "WHO IS THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL THE ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE?" Well, this elephant grabs the tiger with his trunk, picks him up, slams him down; picks him up again, and shakes him until the tiger is just a blur of orange and black; and finally throws him violently into a nearby tree. The tiger staggers to his feet and looks at the elephant and says: "Man, just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so pissed." _________________________ "I own my own body, but I share" Conservative, n.: One who admires radicals centuries after they're dead.

Several weeks later, mama stork was late making dinner. Baby stork and papa stork waited a while, and then gave up and ordered pizza. Mama stork didn't come home until late the next morning. When mama stork did come in, baby stork asked "Mama stork, where were you last night?" "Out making a young couple very happy," replied mama stork. Later in the fall, baby stork was late for dinner. Papa stork and mama stork were worried. Their anxiety increased when baby stork still wasn't home by sunset. They both waited up late for baby stork but he didn't come in until early in the morning.

Ordinarily aircraft landings are from the north, and this end of the runway is equipped with all the sensing equipment necessary to do ALS (Automatic Landing System) approaches. The early 747 ALS worked beautifully, and the first of these multi-centaton aircraft set down exactly at the spot in the center of the runway that the ALS was heading for. The second 747 set down there. The third 747 landed on this part of the runway. ... As did all the others. After a while, SeaTac personnel noticed that the concrete at this point at the north end of the ALS runway was breaking up under the repeated impact of 747 landings. So the sofware was modified so that 3 miles out on the approach, a random number generator is consulted to choose a landing spot -- a little long, a little short, a little to the left or a little to the right. _________________________ A mother and her son were flying TWA from Kansas to Chicago.

Last week I walked into a local "home style cookin' restaurant/watering hole" to pick up a take out order. I spoke briefly to the waitress behind the counter, who told me my order would be done in a few minutes. So, while I was busy gazing at the farm implements hanging on the walls, I was approached by two, uh, um... well, let's call them "natives". These guys might just be the *original* Texas rednecks -- complete with ten-gallon hats, snakeskin boots and the pervasive odor of cheap beer and whiskey. "Pardon us, ma'am. Mind of we ask you a question?" Well, people keep telling me that Texans are real friendly, so I nodded. "Are you a Satanist?" Well, at least they didn't ask me if I liked to party. "Uh, no, I can't say that I am." "Gee ma'am. Are you *sure* about that?" they asked. I put on my biggest, brightest Dallas Cowboys cheerleader smile and said, "No, I'm positive. The closest I've ever come to Satanism is watching Geraldo." "Hmm. Interesting. See, we was just wondering why it is you have the lord of darkness on your chest there." I was *this close* to slapping one of them and causing a scene -- then I stopped and noticed the T-shirt I happened to be wearing that day. Sure enough, it had a picture of a small, devilish looking creature that has for quite some time now been associated with a certain operating system. In this particular representation, the creature was wearing sneakers. They continued: "See, ma'am, we don't exactly *appreciate* it when people show off pictures of the devil. Especially when he's lookin' so friendly." These idiots sounded terrifyingly serious. Me: "Oh, well, see, this isn't really the devil, it's just, well, it's sort of a mascot." Native: "And what kind of football team has the devil as a mascot?" Me: "Oh, it's not a team. It's an operating-- uh, a kind of computer." I figured that an ATM machine was about as much technology as these guys could handle, and I knew that if I so much as uttered the word "unix" I would only make things worse. Native: "Where does this satanical computer come from?" Me: "California. And there's nothing satanical about it really." Somewhere along the line here, the waitress has noticed my predicament -- but these guys probably outweighed her by 600 pounds, so all she did was look at me sympathetically and run off into the kitchen. Native: "Ma'am, I think you're lying. And we'd appreciate it if you'd leave the premises now." Fortunately, the waitress returned that very instant with my order, and they agreed that it would be okay for me to actually pay for my food before I left. While I was at the cash register, they amused themselves by talking to each other. Native #1: "Do you think the police know about these devil computers?" Native #2: "If they come from California, then the FBI oughta know about 'em." They escorted me to the door. I tried one last time: "You're really blowing this all out of proportion. A lot of people use this "kind of computers". Universities, researchers, businesses. They're actually very useful." Big, big, BIG mistake. I should have guessed at what came next. Native: "Does the government use these devil computers?" Me: "Yes." Another BIG boo-boo. Native: "And does the government *pay* for 'em? With *our* tax dollars?" I decided that it was time to jump ship. Me: "No. Nope. Not at all. You're tax dollars never entered the picture at all. I promise. No sir, not a penny. Our good Christian congressmen would never let something like that happen. Nope. Never. Bye." Texas. What a country. _________________________ A city is a large community where people are lonesome together -- Herbert Prochnow Good girls stay at home, bad girls go out and get eaten. _________________________ If you love something, set if free if it comes back it is yours if it doesn't, track it down and shoot it down! _________________________ When I first started college, the Dean came in and said "Good Morning" to all of us.

However, it seems alot of people are going to receive talking parrots for Christmas this year, as the shopkeeper had sold her entire stock of speaking pets, except for one rather attractive Macaw. It turned out that this bird had lived in the local massage parlour prior to being sold to the pet-shop. Despite this the woman purchased the Macaw and took him home to show the family. As soon as she had the bird settled on a perch at her home he looked around and said: "Arrrk, new joint, new madam! Arrrk!" Later that day the woman's two daughters arrived home from high school. Upon seeing the teenagers the Macaw yelled: "Arrrk, new joint, new madam, new girls! Arrrk!" Then father came home from the office and when our feathered friend saw him the bird squawked: "Arrrk, new joint, new madam, new girls, same old customers. G'day Jimmy!" _________________________ Q.

Urgently he turned away, and took a different street to stroll in. This tall woman clad in black leather accosted him, saying langrously "What about it, Father, five bucks for a blow job...?". He couldn't take it no more, and rushed back to the convent. But his curiosity had been aroused... what *is* a blow job? The mo- ment he found himself alone with the Mother Superior, he popped his question "Say, what's with a blow job?". "Five bucks, Fa- ther, like anywhere else in New York City". _________________________
