The judge says to a double-homicide defendant,
"You're charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer."
A voice at the back of the courtroom yells out,
"You bastard." The judge says, "You're also charged with beating
your mother-in-law to death with a hammer."
The voice in the back of the courtroom yells
out, "You God-damned bastard." The judge stops, and says to the
guy in the back of the courtroom, "Sir, I can understand your
anger and frustration at this crime. But no more outbursts from
you, or I'll charge you with contempt. Is that a problem?"
The guy in the back of the court stands up and
says, "For fifteen years, I've lived next door to that bastard,
and every time I asked to borrow a hammer, he said he didn't
have one."

Vijay Suvarna, Qatar.
A French teacher was explaining to her College class that in
French, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine
or feminine.
House is feminine "la maison." Pencil is masculine "le crayon."
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of giving
the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups-male and
female-and asked them to decide for themselves whether
"computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group
was asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of
the feminine gender (la computer) because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other
computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for
possible later review.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find
yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
masculine (le computer) because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half
the time they ARE the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you
had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better
model.
The women won.

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's
face was severely burned.
The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin
from her body because she was too skinny, so the husband
offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin
on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to
come from his buttocks.
The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about
where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also
honour their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the
woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had
before. All her friends and relatives just went on and on about
her youthful beauty. One day, she was alone with her husband,
and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice.
She said "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did
for me. How can I possibly repay you?"
"My darling" he replied "I get all the thanks I need every time
I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
A couple drove down a country road for several
miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an
argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and
pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women
use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The
reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know
how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time."
The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful
so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would
be attracted to you!
Husband and wife were in the midst of a violent quarrel, and
hubby was losing his temper. "Be careful," he said to his wife.
"You will bring out the animal in me."
"So what?" his wife shot back. "I'm Not Afraid of MICE!!"
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in
London. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to
have killed most of us sitting here,years ago."
Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your
stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets
can also be disastrous, and none of us realises the long-term
harm caused by the germs in our drinking water."But there is one
thing that is the most dangerous of all, and most of us have, or
will have, eaten it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is
that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating
it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old
man in the front row, raised his hand and said, "Wedding Cake".
