Smart Captain

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, “Bring me my red shirt!”

The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain’s red shirt, which the captain put on and led the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties.

The crew cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever bellowed, “Bring me my red shirt!”

And once again the battle was on. However, the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred. Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day’s occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, “Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?”

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, “If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid.”

The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command.

The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, “Bring me my brown pants!”

Husband store

Recently a “Husband Store” opened where women could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors.

The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you HAD to choose a man from that floor; if you went up a floor, you couldn’t go back down except to leave the place, never to return. A couple of girlfriends went to the shopping center to find some husbands…

First floor
The door had a sign saying, “These men have jobs and love kids.” The women read the sign and said, “Well, that’s better than not having a job or not loving kids, but I wonder what’s further up?” So up they went.

Second floor
The sign read, “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.” “Hmmm,” said the ladies, “But, I wonder what’s further up?”

Third floor
This sign read, “These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.”
“Wow,” said the women, “Very tempting.” But there was another floor, so further up they went.

Fourth floor
This door had a sign saying “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.”
“Oh, mercy me,” they cried, “Just think what must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they went.

Fifth floor
The sign on that door said, “This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are impossible to please. The exit is to your left.”

Hab�a una vez una granjero

Hab�a una vez una granjero que ten�a varios cerdos. Un d�a llego un desconocido y le pregunt�: “�Se�or con qu� alimenta a sus cerdos?”

El granjero le contest�: “Mire, en la ma�ana les doy tortilla dura y en la tarde les doy sobras de comida.”

El desconocido le respondi�, molesto: “Yo soy de la sociedad protectora de animales, y usted no alimenta como se debe a sus cerdos, le voy a poner una multa.”

Otro dia lleg� otro desconocido, y le pregunt� al granjero: “�Se�or, que les da de comer a sus cerdos?”

El granjero contest�: “Mire, en la ma�ana les doy huevos rancheros a cada uno con un par de hotcakes y un vaso de leche”.

El desconocido, melesto, no lo dej� terminar y le dijo: “Yo soy representante de una fundaci�n de ayuda a ni�os de la calle, y esa comida que usted le da a los cerdos podr�a servir para alimentar a ni�os que no tienen qu� comer. Lo voy a multar”.

Otro d�a lleg� otro desconocido y le pregunt� al granjero: “�Se�or, con qu� alimenta a sus cerdos?”

El granjero cansado de tantas multas responde: “Mire… En la ma�ana les doy diez pesos a cada uno, y que se compren lo que quieran.”

Child birth

A woman goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy.

The doctor asks her if she has any questions.

She replies, “Well, I’m a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?”

The doctor answered, “Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it’s difficult to describe pain.”

“I know, but can’t you give me some idea?,” she asks.

“Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little…”

“Like this?”

“A little more…”

“Like this?”

“No. A little more…”

“Like this?”

“Yes. Does that hurt?”

“A little bit.”

“Now stretch it over your head!”

Un alem�n, un franc�s, un

Un alem�n, un franc�s, un ingl�s y un mexicano comentan sobre un cuadro de Ad�n y Eva en el para�so. El aleman dice:

“Miren que perfecci�n de cuerpos, ella esbelta y espigada, �l con ese cuerpo atl�tico, los m�sculos perfilados… deben de ser alemanes.”

Inmediatamente el franc�s reaccion�:

“No lo creo, es claro que el erotismo que se desprende de ambas figuras, ella tan femenina, �l tan masculino, saben que pronto llegar� la tentaci�n, deben de ser franceses.”

Moviendo negativamete la cabeza el ingl�s comenta:

“Para nada, noten la serenidad de sus rostros, la delicadeza de la pose, la sobriedad del gesto, solo pueden ser ingleses.”

Despues de unos segundos mas de contemplacion el mexicano exclama:

“�No estoy de acuerdo! Miren bien, no tienen ropa, no tienen zapatos, no tienen casa, s�lo tienen una triste manzana para comer, no protestan y todav�a piensan que est�n en el para�so. �Esos dos s�lo pueden ser mexicanos!”

Look in the wardrobe

Murphy gets home from work early and hears strange noises coming from upstairs. He rushes up and finds his wife naked on the bed, panting and sweating.

“What’s up?”

“I’m having a heart attack.” she gasps.

He rushes downstairs to grab the phone but his 4-year-old son tugs his arm and says “Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Mick is hiding in your wardrobe.”

So Murphy slams down the phone, rushes back upstairs and opens the wardrobe door. Sure enough his brother Mick is hiding inside stark bolluck naked.

“You bastard!” shouts Murphy “There’s my wife having a heart attack and you’re running around with no clothes on scaring the kids!”

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip.

After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend awake, “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”

“What does that tell you?” Holmes questioned.

Watson pondered for a minute.

“Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.”

“Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.”

“Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.”

“Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.”

“Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?”

Holmes was silent for a minute, then said, “Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent.”

Choosing a Mate

When Choosing A Mate, Compare These Other Professionals To Computer Programmers
DOCTORS
Supposedly, all women are after a Doctor, so don’t expect your relationship to last more than 5 years. Eventually, he’ll run off with some nurse from his office, or one of his young women patients who is pretending to be sick. He’ll wait until you are stuck with a few kids to do this.

This is not a problem with your programmer husband. He had a hard enough time meeting you. It is unlikely he’ll ever meet another woman in his profession.

LAWYER
Do you seriously expect an honest, trusting relationship with someone who gets paid for lying?

Once again, this is not a problem with your programmer spouse. He doesn’t have enough social skills to lie convincingly. An additional drawback to marrying a lawyer is when the divorce happens you will get nothing.

SALESMAN
See honesty segment under Lawyer. Plus, he will be traveling to trade shows, etc, where he will be in the company of other equally trustworthy individuals. Don’t be surprised when you get the invitation to show up on the Ricki Lake show.

The company that your programmer husband works at will keep him in a cage, often called a cubicle, until he is ready to go home to you.

HAZARDOUS PROFESSIONS, I.E. POLICE OFFICER, FIREFIGHTER, CONSTRUCTION WORKER, ETC.
Your husband, if he is not dead by some accident, will likely be crippled with a back injury, etc, just about the time you are at your sexual peak.

The only hazards that your programmer husband will face is losing his eyesight by staring at the terminal for too long. This hazard actually has some benefits. For one, he will not notice that you are getting older, since you will be a blur. He will remember you as when he first met you, because the memory will still be sharp. And when you ask “Honey, were you looking at her?” he’ll honestly be able to say that he didn’t even see her.

TEACHER
The only reason he entered this profession is so that he could be surrounded by newly post-pubescent girls who idolize him. He’ll be in jail soon, and then you’ll have to look for another man.
