Foreign student trauma: When I first moved from Lithuania to America I was 5 years old and didn’t speak any English. On the first day of kindergarten I was crying so much that my teacher picked me up and let me sit on her lap, meanwhile the rest of the kids sat on the carpet in front of me and watched me cry while she explained to them what was going on (in a language I didn’t understand). Our school was 3 buildings put together, and the pick up was at the “blue” building but my classroom was at the “red” building, so they put a sign over my neck that said “I don’t speak English and I’m going to the blue building” and sent me away to follow a crowd of other kids. I’m still traumatized…
Sniffing candles with my best friend: So my best friend and I were in a super market and there were a lot of new candles. They all smelled strange so we started to think about names we could give them ‘grandma’s toilet cleaning agent’ or sth like this. Whatever I guess we sniffed to much candles because we started laughing very hard and I lay on the floor and my best friend fell into to pasta shelf which made us laugh even more and louder and people were already staring at us. Suddenly my brother’s best friend stood behind us and from this day he’s thinking that I’m taking drugs.
I don’t.
I just sniff candles with my best friend to burst out in laughter.
Too short for me…
In the Spring fair, a 4 years old child who got lost was
crying. A security guard came to console him and said:
“If you don’t want to get lost, you should have gripped
your mother’s dress”.
The boy cried sniffingly:
“But my mother’s skirt was too short for me to grip.”
I'm going ice fishing!
A blonde who got a fishing rod for her birthday decided
to go ice fishing to make good use of her gift. Early the
next morning, she got all her gear together and headed
out to the ice.
When she reached her final destination, she cut a large
hole in the ice and dipped the rod in. Then suddenly she
heard a voice that said: \"There are no fish in there\".
So she moves to another spot and cuts another hole, but
then the same voice spoke again and told her there were
no fish in there.
So she moves again, and the voice tells her there are no
fish in there. So she looks up and sees an irritated man
staring down at her.
\"How do you know there are no fish there?\" asks the
blonde.
So the man cooly says \"Well first of all, this is a
hockey rink, and second of all, you\'re going to have to
pay for those holes.\"

Fun At The Movies
Last week Ronnie Walsh went to the movies at the
Rialto Cinema in Bristol to see "Slumdog
Millionaire" but because of two women loudly
chatting together who were sitting in the row in front
of him, Ronnie was unable to hear the dialogue
clearly.
Ronnie leaned forward and said in a stage whisper,
'Excuse me ladies but I can't hear.'
'I should hope not,' stormed the woman, 'this is a
private conversation.'
Lone Ranger
A teacher cautiously approaches the subject of sex
education with her fourth grade class because she
realizes Little Johnny's propensity for sexual
innuendo. But Johnny remains attentive throughout
the entire lecture. Finally, towards the end of the
lesson, the teacher asks for examples of sex
education from the class. One little boy raises his
hand, "I saw a bird in her nest with some eggs."
"Very good, William," cooed the teacher. "My
mommy had a baby," said little Esther. "Oh, that's
nice," replied the teacher. Little Johnny raises his
hand. With much fear and trepidation, the teacher
calls on him. "I was watchin' TV yesterday, and I
saw the Lone Ranger. He was surrounded by
hundreds and hundreds of Indians. And they all
attacked at one time. And he killed every one of
them with his two guns." The teacher was relieved
but puzzled, "And what does that have to do with
sex education, Johnny?" "It'll teach those Indians not
to fuck with the Lone Ranger."

WHERE AM I?
A helicopter was flying around
above Seattle when an electrical malfunction
disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and
communications equipment. Due to the clouds and
haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's
position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward
it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said
"WHERE AM I?" in large
letters.
People in the tall building quickly responded
to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a
building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A
HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map,
determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport,
and landed safely. After they were on the ground,
the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.
"I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building,
because they gave me a technically correct but
completely useless answer."
DAUGHTER DATING
The mother of a 17-year-old girl was
concerned that her daughter was having sex.
Worried the girl might become pregnant, and
adversely impact the family's status, she consulted
the family doctor.
The doctor told her that teenagers today were
very willful, and any attempt to stop the girl would
probably result in rebellion. He then told her to
arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control
and, until then, talk to her and give her a box of
condoms.
Later that evening, as her daughter was
preparing for a date, the woman told her about the
situation and handed her a box of condoms.
The girl started to laugh and reached over to
hug her mother saying, "Oh Mom! You don't have to
worry about that! I'm dating Susan!"
THE EMINENT SCHOLAR AND THE MAN
Bored during a long flight, an eminent scholar woke
up the sleeping man alongside him to ask if he
would like to play a game. "I'll ask you a question,"
he explained, "and if you don't know what the
answer is, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a
question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you
$50."
When the man agreed to play, the scholar
asked, "What's the distance from the earth to the
moon?" Having no idea, the man handed him $5.
"Ha!" announced the scholar. "It's 384,392
kilometres. Now it's your turn."
The man was silent for a few moments. Then
he asked, "What goes up a hill with three legs and
comes down with four?"
Puzzled, the scholar racked his brains for an
hour to no avail.
Finally he took out his wallet and handed
over $50. "OK, what is the answer?" he asked.
The man said, "I don't know," pulled out a $5
note, handed it to the scholar and went back to sleep.
HAVE YOU FOUND JESUS ?
A drunk stumbles along a baptismal service on
Sunday afternoon down by the river.
He proceeds to walk down into the water and
stand next to the preacher. The minister turns and
notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, are you
ready to find Jesus?"
The drunk looks back and says, "Yes,
Preacher, I sure am."
The minister then dunks the fellow under the
water and pulls him right back up. "Have you found
Jesus?" the preacher asked.
"Nooo, I didn't!" said the drunk.
The preacher then dunks him under for quite
a bit longer,brings him up and says, "Now, brother,
have you found Jesus?"
"Noooo, I have not, Reverend."
The preacher in disgust holds the man under
for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of
the water and says in a harsh tone, "My God, man,
have you found Jesus yet?"
The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the
preacher, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

HOW TO PLEASE A WOMAN
A group of girlfriends are on vacation when they see
a 5- story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women
Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and
husbands, they decide to go in.
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains
to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up
floor-by-floor,and once you find what you are
looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide
since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
So they start going up and on the first floor
the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short
and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation
move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads: "All the
men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't
good enough, so the friends continue on up.
They reach the third floor and the sign reads:
"All the men here are tall and plain." They still want
to do better, and so, knowing there are still two
floors left, they continued on up.
On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the
men here are tall and handsome." The women get all
excited and are going in when they realize that there
is still one floor left. Wondering what they are
missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.
There they find a sign that reads: "There are no
men here. This floor was built only to prove that
there is no way to please a woman."
A man asked his wife, "if you could have anything
in the world for one day, what would you want?"
"I'd love to be six again," she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he got her
up bright and early and off they went to a local
theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in
the park: the Death Slide, the Screaming Loop, the
Wall of Fear, everything there was! Wow! Five
hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her
head reeling and her stomach upside down. Off to a
McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered
her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a refreshing
chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie: the
latestHollywood blockbuster, hot dogs, popcorn,
Pepsi Cola and M & M's. What a fabulous
adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband
and collapsed into bed. He leaned over and lovingly
asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being six
again?"
One eye opened. "You dummy, I meant my
dress size."
An English professior wrote the words, “Woman withour her man is nothing” on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.”
The women wrote: “Woman! Without her, man is nothing.”
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often – just to save it from drying out completely. - Pam Brown
