Hello! I am a creature from a galaxy far away, visiting
your planet. I have transformed myself into this text file.
As you are reading it, I am having sex with your eyeballs. I
know you like it because you are smiling. Please pass me on
to someone else because I am really horny.
-thank Jeff for this one, he sent me it in an email.eeew!
The other day I went to the local religious book store, where I saw a HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car, and I'm really glad I did. What an uplifting experience followed.
I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed. That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love Jesus. Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must REALLY love the lord because pretty soon, he leaned out his window and yelled, "Jesus Christ!!" as loud as he could. It was like a football game with him shouting, "GO JESUS CHRIST,GO!!!"
Everyone else started honking, too, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled to all of those loving people. There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could hear him yelling something about a sunny beach, and saw him waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign. So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
Several cars behind, a very nice man stepped out of his car and yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded like, "Mother trucker," or "Mother's from there." Maybe he was from Florida, too. He must really love the Lord.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had changed, and stepped on the gas. And a good thing I did, because I was the only driver to get across the intersection. I looked back at them standing there.
I leaned way out the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good luck sign, as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks.

Dictionary for arguing with women
1. "Fine"
This is the word women use at the end of any argument when they feel they are right but can't stand to hear you argue any longer. It means that you should shut up. (NEVER use "Fine" to describe how she looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.)
2. "Five minutes"
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your
football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so
women feel that it's an even trade.
3. "Nothing"
"Nothing" means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine."
4. "Go Ahead" (with raised eyebrows)
This is NOT permission; it's a dare! If you mistake it for
permission, the result will be the woman will get upset over "Nothing" and you'll have a "Five-minute" discussion that will end with the word "Fine."
5. "Go Ahead" (normal eyebrows)
This is NOT permission, either. It means "I give up" or "do what you
want because I don't care." You will get a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
6. "Loud Sigh"
This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement.
Very frequently misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are a complete idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing."
7. "Soft Sigh"
Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of
the few things that some men actually understand. It means she is
momentarily content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe in the
hope that the moment will last a bit longer, maybe "Five minutes."
8. "Oh"
This word -- followed by any statement -- is trouble. Example; "Oh,
let me get that". Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night." If she says "Oh" before a statement, run, do not walk,
to the nearest exit. She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is
done tossing your clothes out the window, but do not expect her to
talk to you for at least two days.
9. "That's Okay"
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding what the penalty will be for whatever you have one. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead." Once she has had time to plan it out, you are in for some mighty big trouble.
10. "Please Do"
This is not a statement, it is an offer. The woman is giving you the
chance to come up with an excuse for what you have done. In other
words, a chance to get yourself into even more trouble. If you
handle this correctly, you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."
11. "Thanks"
The woman is thanking you. Don't faint and don't look for hidden
meaning. Just say "you're welcome."
12. "Thanks A Lot"
"Thanks A Lot" is dramatically different from "Thanks." A woman will
say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you
'We Need to Talk' Most commonly spewed forth in a non threatening way, so as to paralyze the man into thinking he will get to have some sort of say. Often the 'we need to talk' discussion ends with a 'lets just be friends' or even worse 'i am dating your best friend'. 'we need to talk' time will generally consists of the female, discussing how she feels about the relationship at hand is, how she thinks it is going, and how she needs to get out of it, with little or no say left to the male, leaving him with the only option of saying, Okay, if thats how you feel.
'We Need to Talk' Should not be confused with the 'State of the Relationship Address', which is just a summation of the current status in the relationship which may lead to either a 'we need to talk' or a very nice quiet evening alone.
Issues: Issues are a mixture of current problems, and historical relationship baggage. In the females mind the 'you left the toilet seat up and i fell in' issue is just as relevant as the 'why can't you just emote' issue. issues can stem from anything, and the male should do his best to satiate the issue at hand with a gentle 'i'll try harder' or 'i am sorry you fell in and got soaked'.
WAYS TO REJECT PICK-UP LINES
1. Man: "Haven't we met before?"

8. A graying man in his 60's approaches a twenty-something with "Where have you been all my life?" She took one glance at him and said, "For the first half of it, I probably wasn't born yet."
9. Two young dudes are striding down the street and and one glances at a girl who has just walked by. She turns around and sneers at him, "What are you looking at?" His friend comes to the rescue: "He thought you were good looking. Man, was he was mistaken!"
10. "Sorry, I don't date outside my species."
11. Guy: "Hey, come on, we're both here at this bar for the same reason!"
Gal: "Yeah! Let's pick up some chicks!"
A big, strapping guy walks into a bar and can't find a place to sit. So, he finds the puniest looking guy he can pick on, walks over to him and --pow!-- knocks him off his bar stool. "That was a karate chop from Japan!" The little guy picks himself up, sits back on the stool when --pow!-- the big guy knocks him off again. "That was a Kung Fu kick from China!" The little guy picks himself up and leaves. About a half-hour later the big guy is enjoying himself when all of a sudden --pow!-- he's knocked unconscious to the floor. Standing over him is the little guy, who says to the bartender, "When he wakes up, tell him that was a Crowbar from Sears!"
Questionable
A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father thereby easing things for her. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it.
The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. However, as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine.
The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point, they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.
The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic.
When they got home, the mailman was dead on the porch.

Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch.
Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said. "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000."

One of the funniest "most-embarrassing-moment" stories I've come upon in a
long time was about a lady who picked up several items at a discount store.
When she finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items
had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment then the checker got on the
intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear: "PRICE CHECK ON LANE
THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPERSIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear
of the store apparently misunderstood the word "tampax" for "THUMBTACKS."
In a business-like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom: "DO YOU
WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A
HAMMER?"
Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and Californians cross states such as Kansas, Iowa, or Missouri, those
states' Tourism Councils have adopted a new policy. In an effort to help outsiders understand the rural Midwesterner's mind, the following list will be handed to each person as they enter the State
.
1. That slope-shouldered farm boy did more work before breakfast than
you do all week at the gym.
2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're
going to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because
I need it. Drive it or get it out of the way.
