                A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly 
                speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. 
                 
                
                The monsignor replied,  When I am worried about getting nervous 
                On the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. 
                If I start to get nervous, I take a sip. So next Sunday he took 
                the monsignors advice. 
                
                At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. 
                He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office 
                after the mass, he found the following note on the door: 
                 
                
                Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
                
                 
                
                There are 10 commandments, not 12.  
                
                There are 12 disciples, not 10.  
                
                Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.  
                
                Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.  
                
                We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.  
                
                The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, 
                Junior and the spook.  
                
                David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him. 
                 
                
                When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, 
                dont say he was stoned off his ass.  
                
                We do not refer to the cross as the Big T.  
                
                When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, take this 
                and eat it for it is my body. He did not say  Eat me . 
                 
                
                The Virgin Mary is not called  Mary with the Cherry,. 
                 
                
                The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks 
                for the grub, Yeah God.  
                
                Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peters 
                not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffys.    
                
                ************** 
                
                To all my friends, thanks for sending me chain letters in 2003: 
                This IS what happened to me. ' 
                
                *I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good 
                for removing toilet stains. ' 
                
                * I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle 
                infected with AIDS. ' 
                
                * I smell like a dog since I stopped using deodorants because 
                they cause cancer. ' 
                
                * I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and 
                sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that 
                someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me. ' 
                
                * I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they ask me 
                to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell 
                with calls to Uganda, Singapore and Tokyo. ' 
                
                * I stopped consuming several foods for fear that the estrogens 
                they contain may turn me gay. ' 
                
                * I also stopped eating chicken and hamburgers because they are 
                nothing other than horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or 
                feathers that are bred in a lab so that places like McDonalds 
                can sell their Big Macs. ' 
                
                *I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I 
                will get sick from the rat feces and urine. ' 
                
                * I think I'm turning gay because when I go to parties, I don't 
                look at any girl no matter how hot she is, for fear that she 
                will take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full 
                of ice. ' 
                
                *I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick 
                girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. 
                Funny that girl, she's been 7 since 1993... ' 
                
                * I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made expecting the 
                $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I 
                participated in their special e-mail program. ' 
                
                * My Ericcson phone never arrived and neither did the passes for 
                a paid vacation to 
                
                Disneyland. ' 
                
                * But I am positive that all this is the cause of a stinking 
                chain that I broke or forgot to follow and I got a curse from 
                hell. '

                A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew 
                the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, 
                because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long 
                to get our coffee. " The husband said, "You are in charge of 
                cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your 
                job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you 
                should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man 
                should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, 
                show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament 
                and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed 
                says....

                A traveller pulls into a hotel around 
                
                midnight 
                and asks the clerk for a single room.As the clerk fills out the 
                paperwork, the man looks around and sees a gorgeous blonde 
                sitting in the lobby. He tells the clerk to wait while he 
                disappears into the lobby. After a minute he comes back, with 
                the girl on his arm. 
                
                "Fancy meeting my wife here," he says to the clerk. 
                
                "Guess I'll need a double room for the night." 
                
                Next morning, he comes to settle his bill, and finds the amount 
                to be over $3000. "What's the meaning of this?" he yells at the 
                clerk. "I've only been here one night!" "Yes," says the clerk, 
                "but your wife has been here for three weeks."

                There are several men sitting around in the locker room of a 
                golf Club after a round, showering and getting changed for the 
                19th hole. Suddenly a mobile phone on one of the benches rings. 
                One of the men Picks it up, and the following conversation 
                ensues: (H - Husband, W - Wife) 
                
                H - "Hello?"  W - "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" 
                
                H - "Yes." W - "Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where 
                you are. I just saw a beautiful leather coat. It's absolutely 
                gorgeous!! Can I buy it?" 
                
                H - "What's the price?" W - "Only $1,000." H - "Well, OK, go 
                ahead and get it, if you like it that much..." 
                
                W - "Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw 
                the 2002 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the 
                salesman, and he gave me really good price... andsince We need 
                to exchange the BMW that we bought last year..." 
                
                H - "What price did he quote you?" W- "Only $60,000..." 
                
                H - "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." W - 
                "Great! But before we hang up, something else..." 
                
                H - "What?" 
                
                W -"It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank 
                account and I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and 
                saw the house we had looked at last year. It's for sale!! 
                Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park 
                area, beachfront property." 
                
                H - "How much are they asking?" 
                
                W - "Only $450,000 -- a magnificent price...and I see that we 
                have that much in the bank to cover..." 
                
                H - "Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid up to 
                $420,000. OK?"  
                
                W - "OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I Love you!!!" 
                
                H - "Bye...I love you too..." 
                
                The man hangs up & closes the phone's flap. The other men are 
                looking at him in astonishment and derision. The husband raises 
                his hand while holding the phone and asks,  
                
                "Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?" !!!!!

                ma'am, but there has been a bit of a mix- up and we have a 
                problem. When we sent the samples from your husband to the lab, 
                the samples from another Mr... Smith were sent as well and we 
                are now uncertain which one is your husband's results. And 
                frankly, it is either bad or terrible!" 
                
                "What do you mean?" 
                
                "Well, one Mr... Smith has tested positive for Alzheimer's and

                "That's terrible! Can we do the test over?" 
                
                "Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and they won't pay for 
                these 
                
                expensive tests more than once."

                An Indian dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a 
                different hell for each country. He goes to the German hell and 
                asks, "What do they do here?" He is told,  
                
                "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they 
                lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German 
                devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day." 
                 
                
                The man does not like the sound of that at all,  so he moves on.

                USA 
                hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers 
                that they are all more or less the same as the German hell. 
                
                Then he comes to the Indian hell and finds that there is a long 
                line of 
                
                people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, "What do they do 
                here?" He is told, "First they put you in an electric chair for 
                an hour. Then they lay  you on a bed of nails for another hour. 
                Then the Indian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the 
                day." "But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why 
                are there so many people waiting to get in?" 
                
                "Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not 
                work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the 
                devil is a former Govt servant, so he comes in, signs the 
                register and then goes to the canteen..."

                A Poilsh man married an Canadian gal after he had been in 
                
                
                
                
                Canada 
                for a year or so, and  although his English was far from 
                perfect, they got on very well. Until one day. He  rushed into a 
                lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for 
                him "very  quick". 
                
                The lawyer said that the speed of getting a divorce would depend 
                on the circumstances and  asked him the following questions:
                 
                
                LAWYER: Have you any grounds? 
                
                POLE:  JA! JA! An acre and half and a nice little home with 3 
                bedrooms 
                
                LAWYER:No. I mean what is the foundation of this case? 
                
                POLE:  It is made out of concrete, brick and mortar 
                
                Lawyer: Do either of you have a real grudge? 
                
                POLE:  No. We have a two-car carport and have never really 
                needed one. 
                
                LAWYER: I mean what are your relations like? 
                
                POLE:  All my relations are in 
                
                
                
                Poland. 
                
                LAWYER: Is there any infidelity in your marriage? 
                
                POLE:  Yes, we have hi-fidelity stereo set, a DVD player with 
                6.1 sound. We don't  necessary like the music, but the answer to 
                your questions is yes. 
                
                LAWYER: No! I mean does your wife beat you up? 
                
                POLE:  No. I am always up before her. 
                
                LAWYER: Is your wife a nagger? 
                
                POLE:  No. she's white. 
                
                LAWYER: Why do you want this divorce? 
                
                POLE:  She going to kill me. 
                
                LAWYER: What makes you think that? 
                
                POLE:  I got proof. 
                
                LAWYER: What kind of proof ? 
                
                POLE:  She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at the drug 
                store and put on shelf in  bathroom. I can read it. It say 
                "Polish remover"

                A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a 
                question.  The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly 
                hit a bus, went up on the footpath,  and stopped centimeters 
                from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the 
                cab,  then the driver said:" Look mate, don't ever do that 
                again. You scared the daylights out of me!
                
                 
                
                The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realise that a 
                little tap would scare you  so much."  
                
                The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is 
                my first day as a cab  driver - I've been driving a van carrying 
                dead bodies for the last 25 years.

                Little Johnny watched the science teacher start the experiment 
                with the worms. 
                
                Four worms were placed into four separate jars. 
                
                The first worm was put into a jar of alcohol. 
                
                The second worm was put into a jar of cigarette smoke. 
                
                The third worm was put into a jar of sperm. 
                
                The fourth worm was put into a jar of soil.   
                
                After one day, these were the results: 
                
                LITTLE JOHNNY'S EXPERIMENT   
                
                The first worm in alcohol - dead. 
                
                Second worm in cigarette smoke - dead. 
                
                Third worm in sperm - dead.  
                
                Fourth worm in soil - alive.  
                
                So the Science teacher asked the class - "What can you learn 
                from this experiment." 
                
                Little Johnny quickly raised his hand and said   
                
                "As long as you drink, smoke and have sex, you won't have worms"

                Mile Sur Mera Tumhara ... 
                Tamils are always proud to be 'Tamizhs'; Pretty courteous they 
                are(that is what they think,  at least!). They speak yenglish 
                but sorry, no indi(Hindi), The more common Madarasi  (chennaisi..., 
                now?) is an ardent fan of kireeket matches. Their counterparts 
                in
                
                
                Bombay think they live in
                
                America but speak 
                Hinglish like '...are  you sure ki Sujata aa raha hai ya I'll go 
                akela!" And they take great pride in making  stupid mistakes in 
                Hindi Grammar. The BEST hypocrites in the world! 
                'Thamizhs', are verrry lecky to haeve "simble" neighbours in the 
                keralites who are a  comblex race of peoblle (they migrated 
                around 2000 B.C. from the middle east, I guess;  and even now do 
                the Sheik feels wary of them) but they have excellent GK and do 
                well in 
                 kiss contests, eat a lot of chooclyte and own 99.998765% of tea 
                shops in the world. 
                Not far begind the kerals is the telugu desam, who are totally 
                againesht flaunting their  wealthu to the woruldu, though they 
                occasionally come out withu brick red shirtsu and  parrot green 
                pantsu with pleetsu('fleet'). Worustu,no?! But they (think) are 
                greatu in  CICSu, Microsu and COBOLu! Generally sane peoplesu 
                (and so you can always findu them  judging, probhing,

                The Canadians, excuse me, the Kannadigas are the coolest lot 
                down south but if there is  political unrest in Hersogovnia or 
                an ebola virus outbreak in
                
                Zaire, they bash up 
                the Tamils in Karnataka. 'Cau very' very bad! 
                Maharashtrians are a conservative, confused, complex lot-kar. -Kar, 
                that is because  gavasakar, tendulkar, bahulkar, .. confused 
                that is because sitting in southern part  of
                
                india they would ask 
                the other person "are you from maharashtra or from south
                
                india..?"  and 
                genuinely wonder why the other person takes some time to answer 
                the question, complex  that is because soft, peace loving people 
                but they would elect shiv sena to rule them. 
                If you go further uf, you land uf in Udissa- the land of 
                irron('r' unsilent) where   sombalpuroa and Bhubaneshbara are 
                big towns. The people are bery cordial and if you are Vikram 
                they bill soorly ask you 'B' or 'Bhe'. They do not sout, sam or 
                soot but occasnally bawsh their phace at the wasbashin. James
