20 LASHES
|
| An Ohio State
fan, a Michigan fan and a Penn State fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled
crate of booze. All of a sudden the Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere
possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of
actually being |
 |
caught consuming the
booze, they were sentenced to death!
However, with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to
successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was
a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik
decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said,
"It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one
wish before your whipping."
The Penn State fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so
he thought about this for a while and then said, "Please tie a pillow to my
back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went
through. The Penn State fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the
punishment was done.
The Michigan fan was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth
by himself), and after watching the scene, said "All Right! Please fix two pillows on
my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through
again, sending the Michigan fan out crying like a little girl.
The Ohio State fan was the last one up (he had finished off the
crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You
support the greatest team in the world, your alumni has some of the best and most loyal
football fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"
"Thanks, your most Royal highness," the Buckeye fan
replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20,
but 100 lashes."
"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man,
you are also very brave," the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If
100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to
be?" the Sheik asks.
"Tie the Michigan fan to my back."

ANATOMY 101
|
Four
doctors were sitting in a break room discussing operating procedures, The first doctor
said, "I like to operate on librarians. Their insides are arranged in alphabetical
order."
The second doctor said, "I prefer accountants. Everything
inside them is neatly numbered."
The third doctor said, "I kind of like engineers. They don't
mind if a few parts are left over when you're done."
The fourth doctor, by far the most experienced, said, "Wolverines
fans are by far the easiest. They're heartless, spineless, and gutless, and their heads
and rear ends are interchangeable."

THE TUNNEL
|
 |
|
A Buckeyes
fan, a Wolverines fan, a nun and a stunning blonde are riding on a train. Suddenly the
train heads into a tunnel. A loud smack is heard and as the train rides out of the tunnel
the Wolverines fan is rubbing his face.
The nun thinks: "Serves him right for trying to grab the
blonde." |
 |
|
The blonde
thinks: "Serves him right for trying to grab the nun."
The Wolverines fan thinks: "The Buckeyes fan was probably
trying to grab the blonde, missed her and grabbed the nun instead. Then she tried to
smack him in the face and missed." |
The Buckeyes fan thinks: "Next tunnel I'm going to smack that stupid Wolverines fan
again."

PEACE
OFFERING
|
Two
Wolverines boarded a shuttle flight out of Detroit for Chicago. One sat in the window
seat, the other in the middle seat, beside him.
Just before takeoff, a Buckeye got on and took the aisle seat
next to the Wolverines. He kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in,
when the Wolverine in the window seat, said, "I think I'll get up and get a
soda."
"No problem," said the Buckeye, "I'll get it for
you." While he was gone, the Wolverine picked up the Buckeye's shoe and spit in it.
When the Buckeye returned with the soda, the other Wolverine
said, "That looks good; I think I'll have one too." Again, the Buckeye
obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the Wolverine picked up the other shoe
and spit in it.
The Buckeye returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the short
flight to Chicago. As the plane was landing, the Buckeye slipped his feet into his shoes
and knew immediately what had happened.
"How long must this go on?" the Buckeye asked.
"This enmity between our schools? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes
and peeing in sodas?"

THE
FIRING SQUAD
|
A Buckeyes
fan, a Spartan fan and a Wolverines fan have been captured by Iraqi forces and are about
to be executed by firing squad. First, the Buckeyes fan is blindfolded and placed in front
of the firing squad. The Iraqi officer said, "Ready, aim...."
The Buckeyes fan yells "Sandstorm!" and all the Iraqis
hit the dirt and the Buckeyes fan runs away.
The Spartan fan was placed in front of the firing squad. The
officer said "Ready, aim.....";
The Spartan fan shouted " Tornado!!!!". All the Iraqis
again hit the dirt while the Spartan fan escaped.
The Wolverines fan thought this was great. When he was
blindfolded, again the officer shouted "Ready, aim...." The Wolverines fan
shouted "FIRE!"

JOHN BOUDREAUX AND THE DEVIL
|
John
Boudreaux dies and goes to hell. The devil visits him and asks, "How are you enjoying
your stay in hell, Mr. Boudreaux?"
Johnny sits there smiling and says, "It's very nice, thank
you, like a June day in Louisiana."
The devil frowns, turns up the dial a notch, and leaves. He comes
back the next day and says, "How do you like hell now, Mr. Boudreaux?"
Johnny looks him square in the eye and says, "Not bad
a'tall. Just like a July day in Louisiana."
The devil curses loudly and cranks it up yet another notch. He
comes back the next day and says, "How do you like it now?"
Johnny says, "Poo-ya-iee cher! Just like an August day in
Louisiana."
The devil thinks a minute, then cranks the dial all the way down
to zero. He comes back the next day, snow is falling, ice is everywhere and ol' Johnny
Boudreaux is sitting there shivering.
"NOW what do you say Mr. Boudreaux?"
"Well ah'll be! The Wolverines must have won the Rose
Bowl!"

WHAT
DOES YOUR DADDY DO?
|
It's the
first day of school and the teacher thought she'd get to know the kids by asking them
their name and what their father does for a living.
The first little girl says: "My name is Mary and my daddy is
a postman."
The next little boy says: "I'm Andy and my Dad is a
mechanic."
Then one little boy says: "My name is Johnny and my father
is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men."
The teacher gasps and quickly changes the subject. Later in the
school yard the teacher approaches Johnny privately and asks if it was really true that
his Dad dances nude in a gay bar.
He blushed and said, "I'm sorry but my dad coaches football
for Michigan and I was just too embarrassed to say so."
