THE LONG CATEGORY

1st - Tony Crafter with:
An undertaker was working alone late one night.

He laid out the body of Mr. Lunge for its cremation, and made a startling discovery. Lunge had the largest private part he had ever seen!

"Sorry Mr. Lunge ," the mortician sighed, "but I just cannot allow you to be cremated with such an incredible private part. It has to be saved for posterity."

So he removed it, stuffed it into his briefcase, and took it home.

"Good Heavens" the wife yelled, "Lunge is dead!"

=

A cardiologist died and was given a very elaborate funeral. A massive heart, covered in beautiful flowers, stood in view behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart eerily opened up and the casket moved inside. The big heart then closed up, sealing the doctor's body forever inside its ideal home.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into impolite laughter. When everyone stared at him, he said, "Oh boy! ... I am sorry, but I was just thinking of my own funeral ... I'm a gynaecologist!"

That's when the proctologist fainted.

2nd - Larry Brash with:
Three businessmen, an American, a Japanese and an Irishman were sitting naked in a sauna.

Suddenly there were beeping sounds. The American pressed his forearm and the beeping stopped. Interested, the other two looked on.

"It's my new pager" the American said, "I've had a microchip implanted under the skin of my arm".

A few minutes later a phone rang. The Japanese fellow lifted his palm to his ear. After he finished his call, he explained, "It's my new mobile phone, I've a microchip inserted in my hand".

The Irish fellow now felt very clearly low-tech. Not to be outdone, he decided that he had to come up with something just as impressive. He stepped out of the sauna and went in the bathroom. A couple of minutes later, he returned with a long piece of toilet paper trailing from his bottom. The other two raised their eyebrows and stared.

The Irishman glanced around and then said........

"Would you look at that, I'm getting a fax!!!!!"

=

During a world scientific meeting on Information Technology, 3 teams of scientists, one from America, one Japanese and one Irish, all presented previously unpublished papers about the History of the Internet.

The American leader presented all his work himself: "I excavated about ten feet of earth, in which I discovered a few copper wires", meaning this to him: "...that the USA had a dial-up modem Internet a hundred years ago".

The Japanese head scholar's study was next up: "Meanwhile, I drilled down twenty feet, pushing deep into the earth, and I discovered optical cable, emphasising the opinion that Japan had a phenomenal high-speed Internet two centuries ago."

"OK, me?" remarked a member of the Irish team: "Meanwhile, our best men tunnelled down a mammoth thirty feet and all I happened to find was this: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Proof that the Irish had a wireless web network sometime three hundred years ago!"

Andrew Brehaut with:
Mick and Pat were ambling home after a very good night on the beer when a severed head rolled along the ground in front of them.

=

"It happens that my top ten policies of war (a bent notion, if not dumb!) caused the potent jihad network to increase." -- George W. Bush

Rosie Perera with:
A famous linguist once made the observation that it was unknown for a double positive ever to resolve to a negative. A skeptical voice came from the back of the lecture hall saying: "Yeah, right."
=
Look out, check that high school grammar. Observe the vital official law: Never ever do not not use a double negative in a proper sentence. Aye, take it out. It is a big massive flaw that may confuse.
