- Two men are standing before
a judge. Both men were arrested on the same day
and given the assignment to devise a program to prevent
others from
committing crimes. After spending two days in jail they were
ask to present
their ideas to the judge.
The first man holds up a poster displaying two circles, one
smaller than the
other. He points to the small circle and says, "This is
the amount of
citizens who do not commit crimes. Then, pointing to the
larger circle he
explains "This is the amount that do. I will tell
people if they commit
crimes they will have to endure an overcrowded jail."
The second man grabs the poster and pointing to the smaller
circle says,
"I'll tell men this is your butt before jail."
Then he points to the large
circle saying. "This is it after."

A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day, carrying
a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with the
president of the bank to open a savings account because, "It's a
lot of money!"
After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her
into the president's office (the customer is always right!). The
bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit.
She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cash out of her bag onto
his desk.
The president was of course curious as to how she came by all
this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying
so much cash around. Where did you get this money?"
The old lady replied, "I make bets."
The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of bets?"
The old woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000
that your balls are square."
"Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a stupid bet. You can never
win that kind of bet!"
The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?"
"Sure," said the president, "I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are
not square!"
The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of
money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10am as
a witness?"
"Sure!" replied the confident president.
That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and
spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls,
turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly checked
them out until he was sure that there was absolutely no way his
balls were square and that he would win the bet.
The next morning, at precisely 10am, the little old lady appeared
with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduced the
lawyer to the president and repeated the bet "$25,000 says the
president's balls are square!" The president agreed with the bet
again and the old lady asked him to drop his pants so they could
all see. The president complied.
The little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if
she could feel them. "Well, Okay," said the president, "$25,000
is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure."
Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his
head against the wall. The president asked the old lady, "What
the hell's the matter with your lawyer?"
She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10am
today I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."

- The Best Beer
After a Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents
decided
to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says "Hey Sen~or, I
would like the
world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a
bottle from
the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says "I'd like the best beer in
the world,
give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The
bartender gives him
one.
The guy from Coors says "I'd like the only beer made
with Rocky
Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.
The guy from Guiness sits down and says "Give me a
Coke." The
bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he
ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask
"Why aren't you
drinking a Guiness?" and the Guiness resident replies
"Well, if you
guys aren't drinking beer, neither will I."

- The Pearly Gates
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter
checks
his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer. You're
in the wrong
place."
So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in.
Pretty
soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of
comfort in
hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After
a while,
they've got air-conditioning and flush toilets and
escalators, and
the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a
sneer,
"So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan
replies, "Hey, things
are going great. We've got air-conditioning, flush toilets,
and
escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is
going to
come up with next."
God replies, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a
mistake. He
should never have gotten down there; send him up here. All
we have
are architects. Everything looks pretty, but nothing
works."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the
staff and I'm
keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or
I'll sue." Satan
laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just
where are YOU
going to get a lawyer?"
