Mr Honda, of the Honda Motor Corporation, died and went to heaven for
judgement. At the gates, St. Peter told Mr Honda, "since you've been
such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your
reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven.

"Mr Honda thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang
out with God. I have a question for Him".

St. Peter took Mr Honda to the Throne Room and introduced him to God.
He then asked God, "Aren't you the inventor of women?"
God said, "Ah, yes. Indeed I am".

"Well," said Mr Honda, "Professional to professional, you have some
major design flaws in your design.
"1- There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion.
2- It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3- Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
4- The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust.
5- Plus the monthly down time and aggravation are outrageous,
and don't even get me started talking about the maintenance costs."

"Hmmmm, you do raise some good points" replied God, "Lets have a wee
look." God went to his Celestial super computer, typed in a few
things and waited for the results. After a moment God said, "Well, it
may be true that my invention seems to be flawed, but according to
these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours.."

now, i really feel sorry for the husband.

Agree.

There is no recovery for the husband, never, if he has to perform like the cow from then on. He is better off always staying in stable recovering condition.

Pressed to impress
By MARY SCHNEIDER

WHEN it comes to clothes you’re just way too predictable. That’s been your problem for a while now,” a good friend announced the other day while I was shopping for a new dress at a Penang shopping mall. �*

“No, I’m not,” I said, sounding a little defensive. “Besides, why does predictable have to be seen as a problem?”�*

“Because you end up wearing the same clothes that just about everyone else your age is wearing, that’s why.”�*

“Is there something wrong with that?”�*

“Not if you want to look like any other middle-aged woman out there. It’s like you’ve slipped into wearing a fortysomething uniform.”�*

“But I feel okay the way I am.”�*

“For example, take that dress you’ve just chosen,” she said, ignoring my statement of contentment.�*

I studied the little black number in my hand. “What’s wrong with this dress?”�*

“It doesn’t say anything about you as individual expect BORING.”�*

“Oh, I thought this dress said mature yet sassy,” I said, trying to keep a straight face.�*

My friend emitted a camel-like snort, an obvious sign that she was not amused by my inane remark.�*

I sighed and cocked my head to one side. “Okay, tell me what I should be wearing to stand out from the crowd. What are the movers and shakers of our generation wearing these days?”�*

“Come with me,” commanded the camel.�*

I returned my predictable little black number to its rack and meekly followed her to another section of the shop. “There!” she said, pointing at a few racks of brightly-coloured dresses. “Any one of these would look wonderful on you.”�*

As I took in the psychedelic scene in front of me, I felt a hot flush coming on.�*

“Those aren’t really my colours,” I said firmly yet politely, trying not to hurt my friend’s feelings.�*

“Try this one on!” commanded the camel, thrusting a lime green number into my hand.�*

Camels are notorious for taking the hump when they are ignored, so I decided to humour her.�*

I retreated to a changing cubicle the size of a telephone booth, and after much contorting of limbs, I managed to squeeze my body into the miniscule dress.�*

“What’s it like?” asked my friend from the other side of the changing room door.�*

“It really isn’t me. I don’t know why I allowed you to persuade me to try it on in the first place.”�*

“Let me have a look!”�*

I slowly opened the door – any quick movements might have caused that frock to come apart at the seams.�*

“It looks wonderful,” trilled my friend. �*

“Wonderful? I look as if I’m trapped inside a green popsicle. How can you possibly say I look wonderful? Besides, I can’t breathe very well.” �*

“But you look great and that’s all that matters.”�*

“All that matters! Breathing is more important, surely. Also, how am I expected to sit down? Don’t forget I need this for a dinner date. There’s definitely no room for expansion in this frock.”�*

“You mean to say you’re actually intending to eat on your date?”�*

“Well, isn’t that what one largely does on a dinner date?”�*

“No, that is not what one largely does on a dinner date.”�*

“Okay, enlighten me, please. What does one largely DO on a dinner date?”�*

“Well ? you know ?”�*

“I don’t know. Tell me!”�*

“Well, first of all, you want to look as good as possible for as long as possible, and you can’t do that with a bulging stomach and pieces of spinach stuck between your teeth.”�*

“Who said I was going to have pieces of anything stuck between my teeth?”�*

“You have to admit that some people don’t look too attractive when they eat.”�*

“Well, isn’t it better that my date finds out what I’m really like as soon as possible?”�*

“No, you get him hooked first, reel him in, then he will be so taken by you that you can afford to be more relaxed around him.”�*

“Sounds like a fishing competition to me. Why can’t I just be relaxed around him from the beginning?”�*

The camel snorted again. “If you want to lose him to someone a little more sophisticated, by all means, be yourself.”�*

“I understand about creating a good impression, but he’s never seen me dressed up like a popsicle before. What if he doesn’t like the popsicle look? Even worse, what if he DOES like the popsicle look and expects me to always look like a frozen treat? In any case, does this really have to be this complicated?”�*

“Well, it’s up to you.”�*

I stared at my friend in disbelief. Could a mature woman in her late 40s really be giving me such advice?�*

I closed the changing room door and surveyed my reflection in the mirror again. What exactly had I learnt after 46 years of living? Could I reduce myself to nothing more than a piece of bait on the end of a fishing hook and feel happy when it came to reeling in the catch?�*

A short while later, I emerged from the changing room and passed the unsuitable frock back to the shop assistant.�*

The camel stared in disbelief. “But I thought you looked wonderful.”�*

“Maybe so, but I’ve decided that this mover is going to shake her body back over to that boring little black number.”�*

“I thought you wanted my advice.”�*

“I did, but I’m not interested in fishing.”�*

The camel snorted again. “Why ever not?”�*

“Because there’s only one sort of fish I’m interested in, and it comes in a tangy sauce with a side order of spinach, washed down with a few glasses of chardonnay and followed by a sinful chocolate dessert.”�*

Perhaps the little black number shouldn’t be too little.�*

MAINTAINING A DISTANCE OF 5 PACES BEHIND!!!

Barbara Walters of 20/20 (USA-ABC Television) did a
story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several
years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that
women customarily walked 5 paces behind their
husbands. She recently returned to Kabul and observed
that women still walk behind their husbands. From Ms.
Walters vantage point, despite the overthrow of the
oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk
even further back behind their husbands and are happy
to maintain the old custom. Ms. Walters approached
one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now
seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so
desperately to change?" The woman looked Ms. Walters
straight in the eyes and without hesitation, said,
"Land mines."

MORAL OF THE STORY: BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART
WOMAN!!

This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a US
naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of
Newfoundland in October, 1995.

Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to
avoid a collision.

Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the
South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL
BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.

lol..dumb americans ^.^

There was an American man that had an meeting in France. He met a woman and that night they had their own meeting. While they were where having s-e-x, she was yelling, "TROU FAUX,TROU FAUX." He did not know what that meant, but assumed it to be some sort of praise.

The next day, he went to play golf with the men he had the meeting with. One of them made a hole in one. He yelled, "TROU FAUX,TROU FAUX !"

They looked at him and said, "what do you mean wrong hole?"

Ahahahhahahahhahahaha

Eve called out to God to come down to talk to her.

God: What's the problem, Eve?

Eve: Well, I know you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all these wonderful animals and that hillarious snake, but I'm just not happy.

God: Why is that?

Eve: I am lonely and I'm sick to death of apples

God: Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you.

Eve: What's a man, God?

God: This man will be a flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vainglorious; all in all, he'll generally give you a hard time. But...he'll be bigger and faster, and can help protect you, and will like to hunt and kill things to eat. He will look silly when he's aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice sometimes to think properly.

Eve: Sounds great. What's the catch?

God: Well... you can have him on one condition.

Eve: What's that, God?

God: As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring... So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. Just remember, it's our little secret... You know, woman to woman

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.
"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?" says Holmes.
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?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Some one has stolen our tent."

It was the last night of the Natonal Rhyme Off competition. The two finalist waited in their respective sound proof stations. All the TV Networks were covering the show.
The first finalist, John, was a professor of literature from Harvard and he approached the kiosk for the final word. The host reminded John of the rules - "I'll give you the word John and then you have 20 seconds to make a ryme using the word that I give you".
"John the final word is Timbuktu - you have 20 seconds". John is deep in thought and within 10 seconds says,
"Across the scorched and burning sands,
Marched the brave and noble bands.
Side by side and two by two,
All the way to Timbuktu!"
The crowd was delirious and after getting the applause calmed down the host called out contestant number 2. Billy Bob was a pig farmer from Arkansas and again the host went over the rules. When Billy Bob was ready the host gave him the word - "Timbuktu". Well Billy Bob sorta stared off into space kinda like a cow chewing a cud - at 19 seconds Billy Bob spoke.
"Tim and me a huntin went,
Found three maidens in a tent.
I was young and kinda new,
I bucked one and Tim bucked two!"

LOL! how unlike watson though.. to be able to come out with so much deductions!! knowing him, he'd probalby only come out with the first one, and then conclude that he fails to surmise anything further.

much as I'd be happy to poke fun at the Americans, I think it's unlikely that they would have an aircraft carrier so close to the coast. Maybe an urban myth, but a good punchline all the same.
