Tie in the Desert

A traveler became lost in the Sahara desert. Realizing his only chance for survival was to find civilization, he began walking.
Time passed, and he became thirsty. More time passed, and he began feeling faint. He was on the verge of passing out when he spied a tent about 500 meters in front of him.
Barely conscious, he reached the tent and called out:

- Water...

A bedouin appeared in the tent door and replied sympathetically:

- I am sorry, sir, but I have no water. However, would you like to buy a tie?

With this, he brandished a collection of exquisite silken neckwear.

- You fool - gasped the man. - I'm dying! I need water!

- Well, sir - replied the bedouin - If you really need water, there is a tent about two kilometers south of here where you can get some.

Without knowing how, the man summoned sufficient strength to drag his parched body the distance to the second tent. With his last ounce of strength he tugged at the door of the tent and collapsed.

Another bedouin, dressed in a costly tuxedo, appeared at the door and enquired:

- May I help you sir?

- Water... - was the feeble reply.

- Oh, sir - replied the bedouin - I'm sorry, but you can't come in here without a tie!

Lion Tamer

Two unemployed guys are talking. One says:

- I'm going to become a lion tamer.

The other replies:

- That's crazy, you don't know nothing about no lion taming.

- Yes I do!

- Well, OK, answer me this. When one of those lions comes at you all roaring and biting, what you gonna do?

- Well, then I take that big chair they all carry, and I stick it in his face until he backs down.

- Well, what if the lion takes that big paw, and hooks the chair with them big claws, and throws that chair out of the cage? What do you do then?

- Well, then I takes that whip they all carry, and I whip him and whip him until he backs down.

- Well, what if that lion bites that whip with his big teeth, and bites it in two? What you gonna do then?

- Well, then I take that gun they all carry, and I shoot him.

- Well, what if that gun doesn't work? What will you do then?

- Well, then I pick up some of the shit that's on the bottom of the cage, and I throw it in his eyes, and I run out of the cage.

- Well, what if there ain't no shit in the bottom of the cage? What you gonna do then?

- Well, that's dumb. Cause if that lion comes at me, and he throws the chair out of the cage, and he bites the whip in two, and my gun don't work, there's going to be some shit on the bottom of that cage, you can bet on that.

Cliffhanger

Once upon a time there were two men who had gone cliff climbing. Suddenly, one man lost his footing and went tumbling down to the bottom. The other man frantically screamed, "Roger!", and was relieved to hear a faint reply.

- Okay Rodge - shouted Barry.

- I'm gonna throw a rope down to you, so wrap it 'round one of your legs and..

but before he could finish, he heard Roger call:

- But both my legs are broke.

Barry suggested his arms, to which the reply was:

- They're broken too!

So finally, Roger held on with his mouth. Barry struggled to pull up the rope, and when he was nearly there, Barry said:

- You right there mate?

to which Rodger replied:

- YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........

Diet for Stress

How's your stress level? This should help. It is more than a diet, so read on... This diet is designed to help you cope with the stress that builds up during the day.

  • Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 1 slice whole wheat toast, 8 oz. skim milk
  • Lunch: 4 oz. lean broiled chicken breast, 1 cup steamed spinach, 1 cup herb tea, 1 Oreo cookie
  • Mid-Afternoon snack: The rest of Oreos in the package, 2 pints Rocky Road ice cream with nuts, cherries and whipped cream, 1 jar hot fudge sauce
  • Dinner: 2 loaves garlic bread, 4 cans or 1 large pitcher Coke, 1 large sausage, mushroom and cheese pizza, 3 Snickers bars
  • Late Evening News: Entire frozen Sara Lee cheesecake (eaten directly from freezer)

Rules for this Diet

  1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
  2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy jar are canceled out by the diet soda.
  3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you do not eat more than they do.
  4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such as hot chocolate, toast and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
  5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
  6. Movie related foods do not have additional calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel. Examples: Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots and Tootsie Rolls.
  7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking causes calorie leakage.
  8. Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something.
  9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are: spinach and pistachio ice cream; mushrooms and mashed potatoes.
  10. Chocolate is a universal color and may be substituted for any other food color.
  11. Anything consumed while standing has no calories. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.
  12. Anything consumed from someone else's plate has no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to his/her plate. (We ALL know how calories like to cling!)
