"Were you present when your picture was taken?" 4. "Were you alone or by yourself?" 5. "Was it you or your younger brother who was killed in the war?" 6. "Did he kill you?" 7. "How far apart were the vehicles at the time of the collision?" 8. "You were there until the time you left, is that true?" 9. "How many times have you committed suicide?" 10. Q: "So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?" A: "Yes." Q: "And what were you doing at that time?" 11. Q: "She had three children, right?" A: "Yes." Q: "How many were boys?" A: "None." Q: "Were there any girls?" 12. Q: "You say the stairs went down to the basement?" A: "Yes." Q: "And these stairs, did they go up also?" 13. Q: "Mr. Slatery, you went on a rather elaborate honeymoon, didn't you?" A: "I went to Europe, Sir." Q: "And you took your new wife?" 14. Q: "How was your first marriage terminated?" A: "By death." Q: "And by who's death was it terminated?" 15. Q: "Can you describe the individual?" A: "He was about medium height and had a beard." Q: "Was this a male, or a female?" 16. Q: "Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?" A: "No, this is how I dress when I go to work." 17. Q: "Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?" A: "All my autopsies are performed on dead people." 18. Q: "All your responses must be oral, OK? What school did you go to?" A: "Oral." 19. Q: "Do you recall the time that you examined the body?" A: "The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.." Q: "And Mr. Dennington was dead at the time?" A: "No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy." 20. Q: "You were not shot in the fracas?" A: "No, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel." 21. Q: "Are you qualified to give a urine sample?" A: "I have been since early childhood." 22. Q: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?" A: "No." Q: "Did you check for blood pressure?" A: "No." Q: "Did you check for breathing?" A: "No." Q: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?" A: "No." Q: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?" A: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar." Q: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?" A: "It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere." |

A Little "Fore"-Play A group of women are playing golf one morning. The first of the women teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. Indeed, the ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed to the man and immediately began to apologize. "I am so sorry! Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I might be able to ease the pain if you let me try!" "Oomph, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine... in a few minutes," he replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position, still holding his hands together at his groin. But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him. After moving his hands away, she loosened his pants, and put her hand inside. She then began to gently massage his crotch and after a few moments she asked "There, now! How does that feel? Any better?" To which he replied "Aw! It feels great! But my thumb still hurts like hell!" |

This I Gotta See! A honeymooning couple had purchased a talking parrot and taken it to their room, where much to the groom's annoyance, the bird kept up a running commentary on their love-making. Finally the groom threw a large towel over the cage and threatened to give the parrot to the zoo if he didn't quit it. The next morning, packing to return home, the couple couldn't close a large suitcase. The groom said, "Darling, you get on top and I'll try." That didn't work. Figuring they needed more weight on the lid, she said, "Sweetheart, you get on top and I'll try." Still no success. Then he said, "Look, let's both get on top and give it a try." At that point the parrot pulled away the towel with his beak and said, "Zoo or no zoo, this, I gotta see!" |

The police arrived shortly and as the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All she did was yell a scripture to you." "Scripture?, replied the burglar." I thought she said she had an AXE and two 38's!". |

Glad To Get Rid Of Her! One day he rented out his boat to a group of out-of-staters who ended up sinking it. He spent all day trying to salvage as much stuff as he could from the sunken vessel and was out of touch all that day and most of the evening. Unbeknownst to him, his brother John's wife had died suddenly in his absence. When he got back on shore he went into town to pick up a few things at the grocery. A kind old woman there mistook him for John and said, "I'm so sorry for your loss. You must feel terrible." Joe, thinking she was talking about his boat said, "Hell no! Fact is I'm sort of glad to be rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning. Her bottom was all shriveled up and she smelled like old dead fish. She was always holding water. She had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. Every time I used her, her hole got bigger and she leaked like crazy. "I guess what finally finished her off was when I rented her to those four guys looking for a good time. I warned them that she wasn't very good and that she smelled bad. But they wanted her anyway. The damn fools tried to get in her all at one time and she split right up the middle." The old woman fainted...... |

The Search For Spock's
Love OK, in case you haven't figured it out yet, this is actually a bunch of clips put together. I came across this file several years ago and don't know who the author is, but they really did a great job. The original file was called Kirk2.Wav. I converted it to MP3 and retitled it. If you happen to know who created it, please let me know. I'd like to thank them and see if they have any more! |
| One Last Cookie An elderly man lay dying at home in his bed, when he smelled his favorite chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. He was alone in the room and too weak to call out for someone to bring them to him. The aroma was irresistable and he wanted so badly to taste one again before his passing! Lacking the strength to stand, he struggled to roll himself from the bed and onto the floor. In extreme agony, he managed to slowly crawl into the hallway, down the stairs and into the kitchen where his wife was busy baking the cookies. With his last bit of strength, he inched his way toward the table and was just barely able to raise his withered arm to the cookie sheet. As he felt a warm, moist chocolate chip cookie with his fingers, his wife suddenly whacked his hand with a spatula. Gasping for breath, he asked her, "Why...did...you...do...that?" To which, she replied "You can't have any! They're for the funeral!" |

| Little Johnny And
The Ice Cream Cones The teacher called on Johnny to solve the next math question. "There are three ducks sitting on a fence", she said, "and the farmer comes out and shoots one of them. How many are still on the fence?" Johnny thinks for a second and says "None". The teacher, looking puzzled, asked him how he arrived at that figure. "Well," he said, "when the farmer shot the first duck, the noise scared the other two and they flew away." The teacher said "That's not really the answer I was looking for but I like your thinking!" Then Johnny says "Now can I ask you one?". "Sure!" she replied. Johnny asked "There are three women with ice cream cones. One is chewing it, one is biting it and one is licking it. Which one is married?" The teacher said "Why, the one that's licking it" to which Johnny answered "Wrong, it's the one with the wedding ring on, but I like your thinking!" |

Liquor? NEWS FLASH: Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra® will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: "MOUNT & DO®" |

| Sunday Driving
Two elderly ladies were out driving in a large car. Both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along they came to an intersection. The stop light was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be loosing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the light was red again, and once again they went right through. This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red, but was really concerned that she was loosing it. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road at the next intersection to see what was going on. At the next intersection,
sure enough, the light was definitely red, and they went right through.
She turned to Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh hell, am I driving...?" |

| Blonde Construction
Workers Two blonde guys were working on a house. The one nailing down the siding would reach into his nail pouch, pull out a nail and either toss it over his shoulder or nail it in. The other, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?" The first explained, "If I pull a nail out of my pouch and it's pointed toward me, I throw it away 'cause it's defective. If it's pointed toward the house, then I nail it in!" The second blonde got completely upset and yelled, "You moron! The nails pointed toward you aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!" |

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.

I think I'm going to have a wife." |

The madam opened the brothel door to see an elderly man. His clothes were all disheveled and he looked needy. "Can I help you?" the madam asked. "I want Natalie," the old man replied. "Sir, Natalie is one of our most expensive ladies, perhaps someone else..." "No, I must see Natalie." Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the old man that she charges $1,000 per visit. The man never blinked and reached into his pocket and handed her ten $100 bills. The two went up to a room for an hour, whereupon the man calmly left. The next night he appeared again demanding Natalie. Natalie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row and that there were no discounts...it was still $1,000. Again the old man took out the money, the two went up to the room and he calmly left an hour later. When he showed up the third
consecutive night, no one could believe it. Again he handed Natalie
the money and up to the room they went. At the end of the hour Natalie
questioned the old man: |

| PC - M or F?
A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. Things like "chalk" or "pencil", she described, would have a gender association, although in English these words were neutral. Puzzled, one student raised his hand and asked,"What gender is a computer?" The teacher wasn't certain which it was, and so she divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide if a computer should be masculine or feminine. One group was comprised of the women in the class and the other of the men. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation. The group of women concluded
that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because:
The men, on the other hand,
decided that computers should definitely be referred to in the feminine
gender because: |

At first, Laurie couldn't
decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used
to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much
of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But
she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness
was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started
acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.
