Jane & Tarzan
Priests
to make this a real vacation escape by not wearing anything that would
identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a
store and bought some outrageous shorts, shirts and sandals.
The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their tourist garb.
They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and
the
scenery when a drop dead gorgeous blonde wearing a string bikini came
walking straight towards them.
They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them she smiled and
said, "Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father," nodding and
addressing each of them individually; then she passed on by.
They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were
priests?
So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more
outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you
saw them. Once again, in their new attire, they settled on the beach in
their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous
blonde, this time topless with just a thong bikini, taking her sweet
time,came walking toward them.
Again she nodded at each of them, she said, "Good morning, Father. Good
morning, Father," and started to walk away.
One of the Priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Just a
minute young lady."
"Yes, Father?", she said.
"We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world
did you know we are priests, dressed as we are?"
"Father, it's me, Sister Margaret."

Always Watching Over You... Nearly!
still! If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you." The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him.
The man was astonished. He went on, and after awhile he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted: "Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you and you will die." The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.
"Where are you?" the man asked. "Who are you?"
"I am your guardian angel," the voice answered.
"Oh yeah?" the man asked. "And where the hell were you when I got married?"

MAINTAINING A DISTANCE OF 5 PACES BEHIND!
Barbara Walters of 20/20 (USA-ABC Television) did a story on gender
roles in
She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to
behind their husbands.
From Ms. Walters's vantage point, despite the overthrow of the
oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further
back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do
you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so
desperately to change?"
The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without
hesitation, said, "Land mines."

Globalisation?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk
on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling)
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an Englishman,
using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that use Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....
That, my friends, is Globalization!
DON'T LIE TO KIDS!!!
There was this guy sunbathing in the nude at the beach.
Well, this little girl comes up to him, so he covers his
private parts with a newspaper.
The little girl says, "What's under there?"
So the man answers, "A bird."
The girl goes away and the man falls asleep.
When he wakes up, he was in a hospital and in great pain.
A doctor comes up to his bed and asks, "What happened?"
The man answers, "I don't know. I was at the beach and
I fell asleep after talking to a little girl."
So the doctor tells this to the Police, and they go to the
beach to find any witnesses.
When they get there, they see the little girl the man was
talking about. So they ask her if she did anything to the
man.
She answers, " I didn't do anything to the man, but while
he was sleeping, I played with his bird.
After a while, it spit at me, so I broke its neck, burned its
nest, and smashed all its eggs.
