Ah Mondays....a mite early...

I've had a rough day. I rear-ended a car and then I got in a fight.

I was on my way to the post office to mail a payment for my lapsed car insurance,
when I rear-ended the car in front of me. The car I hit was a brand new Lexus.

What a disaster. The driver got out. He was a dwarf.

I thought to myself, "Can this possibly get any worse?"

After looking at his crunched-up bumper, he looked at me and said, "I am
NOT happy!"

So I said, "Well, then, which one ARE you?"

That's how the fight started.

It's been a REALLY bad day.

You Got To Love the Irish!

A concert in Ireland

At a U2 concert in Ireland , Bono (the lead singer) asks the audience for some quiet. Then he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone....

"I want you to think about something. Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice from the front of the audience yells out...."Then stop clapping, ya fooking asshole!"

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Beaumont , Texas who has recently been diagnosed
as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth. One of my
sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite.

My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and
selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two
sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas .

I have two brothers: one is currently serving a non-parole life
sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994.

My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual
misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives
in Longview . She is now a part time "working girl".

All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiance' and look
forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally
open and honest with her.

Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Hillary Clinton for
President?

Signed, Worried About My Reputation.

Native American Observation (Unfortunately...this says it all)

Recently an old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a
ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U. S. Government officials sent by the
President to interview him.

"Chief Two Eagles" asked one official, "You have observed the white man
for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances.

You've seen his progress and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where
did the white man go wrong?"

The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly
replied,

"When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes,
no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all work, medicine man free,
Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, at night woman was at his side for
all his needs."

Then the chief leaned back and smiled.

"Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
