THE LONG CATEGORY

1st - Tony Crafter with:
A man and his wife went to a hospital to have their baby delivered.

As they entered, the doctor said there was a new machine that could transfer by kinetic energy a portion of the mother's labour pains to the father, and asked if they were willing to try it out. They were very much in favour.

The doctor initially set the pain-transfer exchange meter to ten percent, saying that was possibly more pain than any father would normally experience.

As the labour proceeded, the husband remained fine, and he asked the doctor to go ahead and knock it up some more notches, so the doctor cranked the machine up to a twenty percent pain transfer.

The husband still felt fine, so the doctor took the man's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing.

"Mamma mia! Remarkable!" he said, and at this point they decided to go for a massive fifty percent. And yet still the husband continued to feel quite well. So, as the pain transfer was obviously helping the wife considerably, the man encouraged the doctor to transfer all the pain to him.

As a result, she delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain at all. She and her husband were elated.

When they returned home they found the milkman lying dead on the doorstep.

=

An innocent young chap moved into his new apartment, and went to the lobby to attach his plastic nameplate to the mailbox.

While he was there, an attractive blonde appeared from the next apartment, wearing a thin chiffon robe.

The lad nodded politely to her and she started up a conversation. As they chatted, her robe slipped open, and it was very evident that she had nothing on underneath.

He broke into a sweat and, terrified, tried to maintain eye contact with her.

After a while, she placed her hand on his wrist and said, "Let's go to my place, I can hear someone coming."

He followed her into her apartment. She closed the door behind her and then leaned against it, letting her robe fall off. Now nude, she purred at him, "What would you pick as my best feature?"

Flustered and confused, he finally squeaked, "Well, effectively, it's got to be your ears."

Amazed, and a little hurt she asked, "My ears? Look at these perfect, full breasts; they're a hundred percent natural. I work out lots every day and my butt is firm and solid. Look at my skin ... perfect! I have no blemishes anywhere. How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears?"

Clearing his throat, he stuttered ... "Earlier, when you said you heard someone coming ... that was me."

2nd - Meyran Kraus with:
GIBSON'S APOLOGY EMBRACED BY JEWISH GROUPS

Mel Gibson has been invited to meet with three prominent American Jewish groups, after his apology for making anti-Semitic remarks when he was arrested for drunk driving last week.

Gibson is alleged to have voiced his apparent hatred of Jews as he was being questioned by California police officer James Mee after he was caught speeding through Malibu, California, while drunk.

He has apologised publicly, asking the Jewish community to assist his "journey through recovery". The 1939 Club, New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage and a Beverly Hills rabbi have all reached out to Gibson to meet with them.

1939 Club president William Elperin says. "Our members are offering that help, by assisting Mr Gibson in understanding the extremes of anti-Semitism and what they and their families - many of whom were slaughtered by the Nazis - endured."

=

MEL GIBSON JUGGLES SEVERAL FILM PROJECTS

Mel won't abide his being stamped a bible-thumping weirdo. "Because of his sparring with the law and the Jewish community, he wishes to remain a big name in show business", his agent said, "which is why he's juggling many new film projects."
Here are some of them:

"Eva and I": The rather sad WWII tale of a weary couple shut in a Berlin bomb shelter.

"Diaries of the Clerks of Zino": Investigator James Huxley (played by Gibson) uncovers a hidden plot for world domination.

"The Merchant Massacre": A modern thriller, based on the play by William Shakespeare, about a grotesque murderer in present-day Venice.

"The Kyle Kane Knights": A guard group of vigilantes formed by Kyle Kane (Gibson) becomes a huge army fighting for pure-white freedom.

"Irving": The life of the respected British historian and his most courageous war with the Austrian justice system.

3rd - David Bourke with:
A woman went into the doctor's surgery in order to hear the results back of all her health tests.

"Why, do take a seat, please" said the doctor, opening up her medical file, and reading it.

"Ah yes, Mrs Smith.. the doctor continued, "...I think that you've got acute angina."

~

"Thank you! How sweet!" declared Mrs Smith, emotional. "That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!", getting au naturel.

Looking up horrified at her in no attire, her arse and pussy, the old doctor, bug-eyed, his face contorted, collapsed with a heart attack!

Andrew Brehaut with:
"What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you."

=

Furiously, Vito Corleone (hefty Marlon Brando), in "The Godfather", huskily murmured these mighty icy words to a mousey, needy Bonasera when he asked to deviate a foul enemy feud inside the beautiful den. Yet, he, Corleone, in pity, weakens and, with much vehemence, curtly demands he must pay off this sum.

Andrew Brehaut with:
Call me Ishmael."

Rosie Perera with:
"By passing comprehensive immigration reform, we will uphold our laws, meet the needs of our economy and keep America what she has always been -- an open door to the future, a blessed and promised land, one nation under God."

=

What Bush means by this damning propaganda: "See, we need Hispanics to do our damned unpleasant work, so let us allow 'em to come in here more easily. However, I deemed that only Republican ones gain from our pondered offer."

Christopher Sturdy with:
Superman's traditional motto "truth, justice and the American way", has now been transformed to "truth, justice and all that stuff"

=

We find Man's alien friend came to Earth but must act as an odd, crap journalist to thwart Luther for humanity, not just the States.

Christopher Sturdy with:
If you need to perform an unfamiliar task and something looks dangerous, step back and think the process through. If you are not sure, ASK (Always Seek Knowledge) before starting the operation. You might just save your life, or someone elseÕs, by doing this.

=

Ask?!

When you ASK you 'Assume Someone Knows' and that's the error/reason men find it so hard to go ask!

Evidence they get from garages or life in an office suggests people are like.... not terribly helpful.

Oh I'm not joking. "Stupid bastards!" you think, but so are you!

THE SPECIAL CATEGORY

1st - Tony Crafter with:

Eq2nd - Andrew Brehaut with:
The Undisputed Top Eleven Reasons Not to Fire Donald Rumsfeld.

11. The ongoing and eccentric fear of absolute retribution.

10. His epic written memoirs say he was the only collaborator of the captain's orders.

9. He knows where the all bodies are rumoured to have been buried and what specific parts have been removed to keep Dick Cheney alive.

8. That the administration's investigation of Abu Ghraib only justified fault with the "Office of The Secretary of Defense," so it's really got to be the damn building's fault.

7. Donald Rumsfeld is one of the few people with a portfolio in the entire administration with actual military service (albeit non-combat) and he is needed for credibility.

6. As George Dubya always says: You can't blame the good guy in the big leather seat for the bad behaviour of his bloody subordinates.

5. He's the best hitter on the George's Dubya's administrations' softball team.

4. He only approved the uses of erotic torture that he wants applied to his very own body and mind.

3. The staff need to keep Donald Rumsfeld around to take the hard rap for some really bad stuff that is to be revealed.

2. Hasn't he suffered enough already?

1. If anyone in the administration loses his job, those damn Jihadi Muslim terrorists would have won the war.

=

The Undisputed Top Eleven Other Pathetic Things Dubya Bush Did While Hosting a Special Screening of the Film "United Ninety-Three."

11. Tried hard to fully remember what he was doing when they heard the very abominable news of all the plane hijacks.

10. Telephoned everyone to foolproof the administration's fictitious and old official story.

9. Boosted up his deteriotarive poll numbers through promotional bribery.

8. Stayed out of the esteemed and old Mr Cheney's way.

7. Thought about if JuJu Fruits are essentially made by anti-semitic voodoo businesses.

6. Waited for the agreeable movie star Harrison Ford to save the day.

5. Persevered with trying out different moves onto an undefended and tense rookie, Condi Rice.

4. Intermittently blubbered a babyish and obsolete warning like "O! Look out!" at the screen.

3. Resolved irrefutably that his flight-suit is less pleasurable after a couple of hours in a theatre than it was after a few minutes flight across San Diego Harbor.

2. Wondered what the hell had happened to that damn ambassador Osama Bin Laden.

1. Edited storyboard in his notebook for a beaut movie idea called, "Stay Out of Harm's Way." that defended his specific Nine-Eleven flights from Sarasota to Offutt Air Force Base to Washington, D.C.
