            <description><![CDATA[ Joe owned one of the finest  dogs ever seen. It had won many trophies over the years. One day, Joe got a call from a friend named Bob, who asked if he could borrow the dog to go pheasant shooting on saturday. Well, Joe told him that he never loaned his dog to hunt, and asked Bob if he had ever hunted with a dog. Bob said "Oh sure, grew up hunting with a dog". "Well then, you're a pretty good friend, I guess you can use him", Joe agreed. Saturday, Bob showed up, and Joe brought out his champion dog and loaded him in the truck."Good luck", Joe said,"hope you brought plenty of shells, see you later". That evening, Bob came back to Joe's, and Joe came out to meet them. "Well, how many did you get?", Joe asked. "We didn't get any" Bob shouted. "That's unbelievable" Joe exclaimed. Bob said,"Yea, it was the funniest thing, we got there, I loaded my gun, I let out your dog and we started hunting. All of a sudden, your dog stopped. He had his head pointing straight forward, his ears were straight forward, his back was straight as an arrow, his tail was pointing straight back, his one paw was lifted up off the ground, and he just stood there. Couple quick kicks in the ass broke him of that shit".]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ A guy is sitting in the bar in departures at a busy airport. A beautiful<br />
woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him. He decides<br />
because she's got a uniform on, she's probably an off-duty flight<br />
attendant.<br />
<br />
So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline<br />
she flies for, thereby impressing her greatly.<br />
<br />
He leans across to her and says the Delta Airlines motto 'We love to fly<br />
and it shows'. The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line.<br />
<br />
He leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto 'Winning the<br />
hearts of the world'. Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face.<br />
<br />
Undeterred , he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines<br />
motto 'Going beyond expectations'.<br />
<br />
The woman looks at him sternly and says 'What the **** do you want?'<br />
<br />
'Ah!' he says, sitting back with a smile on his face. 'EasyJet''.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ This is definitely a woman thing <br />
<br />
For those of you who wax, you will understand fully and those who don't<br />
will never make this mistake. Better go pee before you read this. This Is<br />
by far one of the funniest things I have ever read.<br />
<br />
Hair Removal...<br />
<br />
(I don't have a clue as to who wrote this, but...WHAT A RIOT!)<br />
<br />
All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of Easy,<br />
painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the Wax.<br />
Read on........<br />
<br />
My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, Play<br />
with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind<br />
for the next few hours:<br />
<br />
'Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.' So I<br />
headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.<br />
<br />
It was one of those 'cold wax' kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you<br />
just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel then<br />
apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair<br />
right off.<br />
<br />
No mess, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am<br />
mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)<br />
<br />
So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other<br />
stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I<br />
get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees.<br />
<br />
('Cold wax,' yeah...right! ) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the Skin<br />
round it tight and pull. It works!<br />
<br />
OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!<br />
Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body<br />
hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.<br />
<br />
With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak<br />
back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop<br />
my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I<br />
apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the<br />
right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek<br />
(it *was* a long strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPP P!!!!<br />
<br />
I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!.... OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!! !<br />
<br />
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the<br />
strip. cr*p! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and<br />
spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious... must stay<br />
conscious.<br />
<br />
Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to normal.<br />
<br />
I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me<br />
so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the<br />
glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip. There's<br />
No hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???<br />
<br />
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the<br />
hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am<br />
touching wax.<br />
<br />
I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now<br />
covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG<br />
mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need<br />
to do something. So I put my foot down.<br />
<br />
Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!<br />
<br />
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and<br />
think to myself 'Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may Pop<br />
off!' What can I do to melt the wax?<br />
<br />
Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can Stand<br />
into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax Should<br />
melt and I can gently wipe it off, right??? *WRONG!!!!!! !*<br />
<br />
I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture<br />
prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.<br />
<br />
Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together,<br />
is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in<br />
scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.<br />
<br />
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself<br />
to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago<br />
to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!! !<br />
<br />
I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret<br />
of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter 'So, my butt<br />
and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!'<br />
<br />
There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but<br />
she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where<br />
the wax is located, 'Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?'<br />
<br />
She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and<br />
she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.<br />
<br />
YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.<br />
<br />
While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to scr*pe the wax<br />
off with a razor . Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies<br />
covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and<br />
then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!<br />
<br />
By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm<br />
pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this<br />
event.<br />
<br />
My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving<br />
grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I<br />
really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend.<br />
It's sooo painful, but I really don't care. 'IT WORKS!! It works !!'<br />
<br />
I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I<br />
successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief<br />
and despair...THE HAIR IS STILL THERE....... ALL OF IT!<br />
<br />
So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could<br />
have amputated my own leg at this point.<br />
<br />
Next week I'm going to try hair color...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son. They happen to <br />
<br />
walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad?"<br />
<br />
 To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, <br />
<br />
son. Men use them to have safe sex."<br />
<br />
Oh, I see," replied the boy pensively. "I've heard of that in health <br />
<br />
class at school."<br />
<br />
 He looks over the display and picks up a package of 3 and asks, Why <br />
<br />
are there 3 in this package?"<br />
<br />
The dad replies, "Those are for high school boys, one for Friday, one <br />
<br />
for Saturday, and one for Sunday."<br />
<br />
 "Cool" says the boy. He notices a 6 pack and asks, "Then, who are <br />
<br />
 these for?” Those are for college men," the dad answers. "TWO for <br />
<br />
 Friday, TWO for Saturday, and TWO for Sunday."<br />
<br />
 "WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "Then, who uses THESE?" he asks, picking up <br />
<br />
 a 12-pack.<br />
<br />
With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad replied, "Those are for <br />
<br />
 married men. One for January, one for February, one for March......."]]></description>

<br />
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?' <br />
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.' <br />
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??' <br />
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.' <br />
Operator: 'Went away?' <br />
Caller: 'They disappeared.' <br />
Operator: 'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?' <br />
Caller: 'Nothing.' <br />
Operator: 'Nothing??' <br />
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.' <br />
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??' <br />
Caller: 'How do I tell?' <br />
Operator: 'Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??' <br />
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?' <br />
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?' <br />
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type.' <br />
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??' <br />
Caller: 'What's a monitor?' <br />
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??' <br />
Caller: 'I don't know.' <br />
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??' <br />
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.' <br />
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall. <br />
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'<br />
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??' <br />
Caller: 'No.'<br />
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.' <br />
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'<br />
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.' <br />
Caller: 'I can't reach.'<br />
Operator: 'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'<br />
Caller: 'No.'<br />
Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??' <br />
Caller: 'Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark.'<br />
Operator: 'Dark??'<br />
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window. <br />
' Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'<br />
Caller: 'I can't.'<br />
Operator: 'No? Why not??'<br />
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.' <br />
Operator: 'A power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.<br />
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??' <br />
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.' <br />
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'<br />
Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?' <br />
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'<br />
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ While taxiing at London Gatwick, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.<br />
<br />
An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between Cs and Ds, but get it right."<br />
<br />
Continuing her tirade to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God, you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I want you to do exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"<br />
<br />
"Yes ma'am," the humbled crew responded.<br />
<br />
Naturally the ground control frequency went terribly quiet after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to engage the irate ground controller in her current state. Tension in every cockpit at LGA was running high.<br />
<br />
Then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"<br />
<br />
************************************************** ****<br />
<br />
A DC-10 had an exceedingly long roll out after landing with his approach speed a little high.<br />
<br />
San Jose Tower: "American 751 heavy, turn right at the end of the runway, if able. If not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport"<br />
<br />
<br />
From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue:<br />
<br />
Unknown aircraft: "I'm f...ing bored"<br />
<br />
Tower Air Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately".<br />
<br />
Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid."<br />
<br />
<br />
A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich, overheard the following:<br />
<br />
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"<br />
<br />
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."<br />
<br />
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"<br />
<br />
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124."<br />
<br />
Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway".<br />
<br />
Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"<br />
<br />
Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers...."<br />
<br />
<br />
O'Hare Approach Control: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, eastbound."<br />
<br />
United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight."<br />
<br />
<br />
Tower: "TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."<br />
<br />
TWA 2341: "Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"<br />
<br />
Tower: "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"<br />
<br />
<br />
The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign "Speedbird 206".<br />
<br />
Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."<br />
<br />
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."<br />
<br />
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.<br />
<br />
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"<br />
<br />
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."<br />
<br />
Ground (with arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, haff you not been to Frankfurt before?"<br />
<br />
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944 but it was dark and I didn't land"<br />
<br />
<br />
One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee.<br />
<br />
Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"<br />
<br />
The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."]]></description>

"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does<br />
not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."<br />
<br />
"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often<br />
needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."<br />
<br />
"On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every<br />
restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."<br />
<br />
"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring<br />
our swimming costumes and towels."<br />
<br />
A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted<br />
a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant <br />
beast<br />
ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".<br />
<br />
A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in<br />
by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the<br />
back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.<br />
<br />
"The beach was too sandy."<br />
<br />
We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure<br />
shows the sand as yellow but it was white."<br />
<br />
A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and<br />
strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.<br />
<br />
"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined<br />
as my husband spent all day looking at other women."<br />
<br />
"We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street<br />
trader, only to find out they were fake."<br />
<br />
"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were<br />
startled."<br />
<br />
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the<br />
Americans three hours to get home."<br />
<br />
"I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends'<br />
three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."<br />
<br />
"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee<br />
hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"<br />
<br />
"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The<br />
food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."<br />
<br />
"We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."<br />
<br />
"It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests<br />
before we travel."<br />
<br />
"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."<br />
<br />
"My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a<br />
double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find<br />
myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the <br />
room<br />
that we booked."]]></description>
