IS THERE SEX AFTER DEATH?

An older married couple made an agreement that whoever died first would come back and inform the other if there was any sex after death. Their biggest fear was that there was actually nothing at all after death.

After their long life together, the husband was the first one to go and, true to his word, he made first contact:

"Hello, Marion... Marion, are you there?"

"Yes, yes... Please... Is that you, Bobby?"

"Yes, my dear, it is. And, yes, I have come back to make contact with you as we promised."

"That is wonderful, dear! What is it all like?"

"Well... it is pretty great. I get up in the mornings, and I have sex. I have breakfast and then it is off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times.

Then I have a long lunch (you would be proud of me - I'm eating lots and lots of greens now).

Another romp around the golf course, then it is pretty much more sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, well, it is back to the old golf course again.

Then it is more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again"

"Oh yes! Bobby, are you in Heaven?"

"No, no, no... you don't understand... I'm a rabbit in Gundagai!"

A man in Brisbane rings his son in Adelaide about two days before Xmas and tells him, "Steve, mate, hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and me are divorcing; after exactly forty years of woeful misery between us."

"What are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't even stand the sight of each other for one minute longer, mate." the father replies, "We are sick of each other, and besides, I am tired enough of talking about it, so you call your sister, Marie, in Darwin and tell her too, mate."

Frantic, the extremely agitated son calls his sister, who, explodes on the phone.

"The idea! No chance, Steve! Stuff that one! The senile duet ain't getting a divorce!" she shouts out, "I'll fix them, mate. Fix them up good and sweet."

She calls up Brisbane straight away and explodes at her father:

"You are not getting a divorce. Don't do a thing before I get there. I am calling my brother back, and after we will both be out over there tomorrow to meet up, until then, wait." and repeats, "Don't do a thing. DO YOU HEAR ME, FATHER?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone, faces his wife and tells her.

"OK, Kate, that's all fixed. They are coming for Christmas and even paying their own air fares."

2nd - Ember Nickel with:
Whichever states we go to, we see that changes in weather lead some people to do weird things.

At 60 degrees, some Floridians turn on their heaters.
At 50 degrees, people in Cuba shiver uncontrollably while their teeth chatter.
At 40 degrees, none of the cars in Germany or England will start.
At 32 degrees, distilled water freezes. Tea, too.
At 20 degrees, people in Florida put on some big warm coats, pairs of thermal underwear, and wooly ski masks.
At 15 degrees, landlords in New York and Boston finally turn up their buildings' heat, while parents warn their sons not to go outside.
At 0 degrees, everyone in Miami dies.
At 10 below 0, Californians see snow and, at their wits' end, fly south to dry, torrid, Mexico.
At 25 below 0, stock in thick clothing goes up, but Hollywood disintegrates.
At 40 below 0, Washington DC just suddenly runs out of hot air.
At 100 below 0, Santa Claus goes south for the winter.
At 460 below 0, all atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.)
At 500 below 0, hell freezes over.

All this faraway action at changing temperatures has men and women in Minnesota puzzled. I reckon that it is milder here. Or others find it real hard to handle things...

At 60 degrees, people in Duluth plant their gardens.
At 50 degrees, we try suntanning.
At 40 degrees, if they feel warm, Ramsey County natives drive with all the windows down.
At 32 degrees, the water in Bemidji gets thicker.
At 20 degrees, we throw on our flannel shirts.
At 15 degrees, St. Paul natives have the last cookouts before it gets too cold.
At 0 degrees, we close all the windows.
At 10 below 0, we get out our winter coats and skis.
At 25 below 0, hardy Girl Scouts in Hennepin County sell boxes of Trefoil cookies door to door.
At 40 below 0, Minneapolis residents let their lazy dogs sleep indoors.
At 100 below 0, we are all mad or upset because it is hard for anyone's snowmobiles to start.
At 460 below 0, we begin to ask if it is "Cold enough for you?"
At 500 below 0, the governor orders all Minnesota public schools to open three hours late.
