A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf.....Of
course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the
window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll
have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how
much your lousy drive is going to cost us."

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door.
A warm voice said, "Come on in."

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done,
glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was
lying on its side near the broken window.  A man reclining on
the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?"
"Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband
replied.

"Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.
You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle
for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm
allowed to grant three wishes.  I'll give you each one wish,
but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself."

"Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment
and blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the
rest of my life."  "No problem," said the genie. "You've got
it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long,
healthy life!"

"And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genie asked.
"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every
country in the world," she said. "Consider it done," the genie
said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary
and natural disasters!"

"And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's your wish, genie?"

"Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven't been
with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have
sex with your wife." The husband looked at his wife and said,
"Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those
houses. What do you think?" She mulled it over for a few moments
and said, "You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune,
I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?"

"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband.  "I'd do the
same for you!"

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the
rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable.

After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over
and looked directly into her eyes and asked "How old are you
and your husband?"  "Why, we're both 35," she responded
breathlessly.

"NO SHIT. Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?"

A slightly tipsy Irisher is walking along when suddenly
he got his foot caught  in some railroad tracks. He tried
to get it out but it was really stuck in there well. He
heard a noise and turned around to see a train coming.
He panicked and started to pray, "God, please get me foot
out of these tracks and I'll stop drinking!"

Nothing happened, it was still stuck, and the train was
getting closer!

He prayed again, "God, please get me foot out and I'll stop
drinking AND cussing!"

Still nothing.....and the train was just seconds away! He
tried it one more time, "God please, if you get me foot out
of the tracks, I'll quit drinking, cussing, smoking and trying
to fornicate with all the women I meet."

Suddenly his foot shot out of the tracks and he was able to
dive out of the way, just as the train passed!  He got up, dusted
himself off, looked toward Heaven and said "Thanks anyway God, I
got it me self."

An old man witnesses a burglary and appears in court.

The defense lawyer asks him, "Did you see my client commit this
burglary?"

"Yes," the man says. "I saw him plainly take the goods."

The lawyer adds, "This happened at night. Are you sure you saw my client
commit this crime?"

"Yes, I saw him do it," the man says.

The lawyer says, "You are 80 years old and your eyesight probably is
bad. Just how far can you see at night?"

The man says, "I can see the moon. How far is that?"

A woman living way out in the country looks out her kitchen
window one morning and sees an elephant pulling up all her
cabbages and eating them.  She's very isolated and has never
seen an elephant in her life, much less imagined one escaping
a circus train, so she calls the local sheriff and says,
"There's this huge horse out in my garden and he's pulling up
all my cabbages with his tail.  And .... and .... and if I
told you what he's doing with those cabbages, you'd never believe
me!"

Microsoft Corporation has taken another step toward
dominating every aspect of American life with the
introduction of Contraceptive02, a suite of applications
designed for users who engage in sex. Microsoft has been
a pioneer in peer-to-peer connectivity and plug and play. It
believes these technologies will give it substantial leverage
in penetrating the copulation enhancement market.

The product addresses two important user concerns: the
need for virus protection and a firewall to
ensure the non-propagation of human beings.

The Contraceptive02 suite consists of three
products: Condom02, DeFetus 1.0 (from Sementec), and
AIDScan 2.1 (from Norton Utilities). A free copy of
Intercourse Explorer 4.0 is bundled in the package.

While Contraceptive02 does not address non-traditional
copulatory channels, future plug-ins are planned . They
will be known as BackDoor, AuraLee, and TitElation.

OPERATION - Only one node in a peer-to-peer connection needs
to install the package. If the user meets the
requirements, the product installs and is sufficiently
scaleable to meet most requirements. After installation,
operation commences. One caution is that the user must
have sufficient RAM to complete the session. When the
session is complete, the user gets a message, it is
now safe to turn off your partner.

DRAWBACKS - Usability testers report that frequent failures
were a major concern during beta testing. Early versions
had numerous bugs, but most of these have been
eliminated. The product needs
to be installed each time it's used.

CONCLUSION - Contraceptive02 is a robust product. Despite
its drawbacks, it is a reasonably good value for
its $299.95 price tag, and is far superior to
the competition. Hopefully, future releases (of the
software, that is) will add missing functionality, such
as Backout and Restore, Uninterruptible Power
Supply, and Onboard Camera.

Microsoft CEO Bill Gates is optimistic about
Contraceptive02's potential. He recently said, "Our
contraceptive products will help users do to each other
what we've been doing to our customers for years

--------------ON THE ROAD WITH AN IDIOT---------------

One of my New Year's resolutions was to not get angry while driving. I do
not consider myself an aggressive driverI am an assertive driver. That
resolution lasted for about three miles. That is an improvement from last
year.

Within that short distance, two idiots, who apparently cared little about my
resolution or me, pulled out in front of me. Part of that is my fault for
allowing almost enough space to fit a vehicle between my car and the car in
front of me. And true to passive-aggressive driving behavior, they both
proceeded to go slower than I had been travelling after risking life and
limb to get in front of me.

And what, pray tell, is passive aggressive driving behavior you ask?

Swedish teenagers were given alcohol to make them
happier while filming a state-funded anti-drinking
commercial.

It's reported the teenagers were invited by the
production company to be in the commercial and then
plied with wine and beer to make the scenes more
realistic.

A government spokesman says there was no intention
of getting them drunk.

The Aftonbladet newspaper reports the advert was
screened in cinemas throughout the country as well on
Swedish TV4.

It says one teenager said: "They gave us as much as we
wanted and several people were completely drunk."

Hakan Wrede, spokesman for the government's anti-drinking
committee that sponsored the commercial, said: "Some of
them had a drink to help them look happier and to create
a party atmosphere, but it was all controlled and there
was no intention of getting them drunk."

THE HUMOR OF MELVIN DURAI
=========================

"OBITUARY FOR A BELOVED PET"

Buddy, beloved chocolate Labrador of former President Bill
Clinton, died tragically at about 12:15 p.m. on Jan. 2. Only
4 1/2 (almost 32 in human years), he was in the prime of his
life, with many bones left to bury, many carpets left to
stain.

Buddy was unquestionably the most popular dog in America. He
received thousands of letters during Clinton's presidency,
many from Republican admirers who addressed their mail
simply to "The dog in the White House."

The former First Dog was struck by a car after chasing a
contractor's van off the Clinton property in Chappaqua, New
York. Secret Service agents had rushed after Buddy, but
failed to stop him, leading security experts to question
whether the government spends enough money to protect VIPs
(very important pets). Tom Ridge, U.S. homeland security
director, asked another critical question: "What if Bill
Clinton had run after a car? Could we have saved him?"

Buddy was adopted by the Clintons as a 3-month-old puppy in
December 1997 and quickly asserted himself as the nation's
top dog. He accompanied Bill Clinton on many of his travels,
met foreign leaders who visited the White House, and spent
more time under the president's desk than any intern.

When tension mounted between Clinton and Al Gore, political
observers wondered if Buddy had become "the real vice
president." Said political analyst George Stephanopoulos:
"Buddy once chased a pesticide company's van, barking louder
than ever. That made us realize that Buddy, like Al Gore,
cared deeply about the environment."

When Hillary Clinton left the White House to campaign in New
York, Buddy moved into the presidential bedroom and had his
way with the presidential pillows. "I tried to get him to
stop," Clinton said. "I said, 'Buddy, if you don't cut it
out, the Republicans will try to impeach you.'"

Aside from chasing cars, his favorite hobbies included
chewing socks, eating anything that looked like food, and
barking at Sam Donaldson. "He loved to fetch things,"
Clinton said. "I'd be sitting in the Oval Office and I'd
say, 'Buddy, go fetch the ball' and he'd run outside and get
a ball. I'd say, 'Buddy, go fetch Monica,' and he'd run
outside and get a ball. He really knew what was good for
me."

Despite his friendly nature, Buddy did not get along with
the Clintons' other pet, Socks the cat, who often hissed at
the dog. "Buddy liked socks," Clinton said. "Just not that
kind of socks."

Socks and Buddy were featured in a 1998 book "Dear Socks,
Dear Buddy, Kids' Letters to the First Pets." Socks later
authored several other books, including "Buddy is not my
buddy," "Buddy is cruddy," and "Buddy, you fuddy-duddy."

Buddy is survived by his mother, Bunny, an unknown deadbeat
dad, four brothers, five sisters, 24 half-brothers, 32
half-sisters, four pillows and a tattered sock.

On the night of his death, Buddy was honored at sporting
events throughout the country. Fans and players rose to
their feet and observed a moment of barking.

Buddy was laid to rest with full honors, his funeral
attended by dignitaries from around the world, both human
and canine. Socks the cat did not attend and did not send a
representative. Socks released a statement through his
spokesman, saying, "The death of Buddy proves what I have
been saying for a long time: Dogs are dumb! You'll never see
a cat chasing a van. We don't have nine lives -- we have
brains!"
