Since my original jokes thread got hijacked into a discussion about the Windows operating system, here we go with a new thread, starting with a joke making the rounds of AA.

@@@

This guy was lonely and decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. He went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink.

He asked the centipede, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?" There was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" Again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. He waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house, and shouting, "Hey, in there!

A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."

Andrew,

So what goes 99 clunk?

A Centipede with a wooden leg.

Scenario: A bishop (B) and a rabbi (R) are sharing a train

compartment. After a short while, the two men of the cloth start

relating some of their past life experiences...

(General conversation...)

B: So tell me, rabbi, have you ever actually tasted ham?

R: Well yes, in fact. Once when I was very young and daring, I tried

it. But only the once...

(short pause)

R: So tell me bishop, have you ever ... enjoyed the comforts of a

young woman?

B: Well, ahem, yes... before I took my vows, mind you, when I was not

so old and not so wise...

[another short pause]

R: Zo, it's better than ham, hmm?

10 (ten) kinds?

Don't you mean 1-0 kinds?

1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 111, 1000

Sigh...this was a takeoff on the frequently seen "There are two kinds of people..." followed by two caragories. "10" in binary = "2" decimal. so the joke about there being 10 kinds of people was the binary way of saying two.

And the two catagories were those who understand binary (and you seemed to have missed it) and those who do.

A doctor is going about his business, with a rectal thermometer

tucked behind his ear. He goes into a staff meeting to discuss the days activities, when a co-worker asks why he has a thermometer behind his ear. In a wild motion he grabs for the thermometer, looks at it and exclaims, "Damn, some asshole has my pen!"

In New York City this week, a Virginia couple were arrested for allegedly

having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral. The man and woman were participants

in a contest sponsored by radio station WNEW, where couples win prizes

for having sex in risky locations. With a station employee on a cell

phone giving the play-by-play from the cathedral, WNEW's afternoon shock

jocks broadcast a live commentary on the alleged sex act.

A spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York called the incident "disgusting."

Given recent Church news, I don't know if I'd be so quick to judge.

When the media can report two consenting, heterosexual adults having

sex in a Catholic church, that's not disgusting - that's progress!

The Pope met with the College of Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Shimon Peres, the former leader of Israel. "Your holiness," said one of the Cardinals, "Mr. Peres wants to determine whether Jews or Catholics are superior, by challenging you to a golf match." The Pope was greatly disturbed, as he had never held a golf club in his life.

"Not to worry," said the Cardinal, "we'll call America and talk to Jack Nicklaus. We'll make him a Cardinal, he can play Shimon Peres... We can't lose!" Everyone agreed it was a good idea. The call was made and, of course, Jack was honored and agreed to play.

The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of his success in the match. "I came in second, your Holiness," said Nicklaus.

"Second?!!" exclaimed the surprised Pope. "You came in second to Shimon Peres?!!"

"No," said Nicklaus, "second to Rabbi Woods."
