The beer prayer

THE BEER PRAYER

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink,
Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as I am in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
and lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager,
Forever and ever,
Barmen.

Before his daring escape from prison, an infamous criminal had been photographed from four different angles. The FBI sent copies of the pictures to police chiefs all across the country, with orders to notify Washington the moment an arrest was made.

The next day, the Bureau received an email from the ambitious sheriff of a small Texas town: "GOT THE PICTURES. ALL FOUR SHOT DEAD WHILE RESISTING ARREST."

I know it's only monday but I thought this was great


On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and
asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly
aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30
years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new
clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her
husband
in a very drunken state.During the next few minutes, he explained
that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing,
and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be
able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been
earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty
years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly$1 million. Then
she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were
worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the
largest depositors in the bank.

She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged"
him
for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of
her
savings and investments.

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her
husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found
his
voice and blurted out,"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would
have given you all my business!"

That's when she shot him.

You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths
shut.

The Gas Station

A gas station in Mississippi was trying to increase its sales, so the owner put up a sign saying, 'Free Sex with Fill-Up."

Soon a local redneck pulled in, filled his tank, and then asked for his free sex.
The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex.
The redneck then guessed 8, and the proprietor said, "You were close.
The number was 7. Sorry, no sex this time."

A week later, the same redneck, along with a buddy, Bubba, pulled in for a fill-up.
Again he asked for his free sex. The proprietor again gave him the same story, and asked him to guess the correct number. The redneck guessed 2 this time. Again the proprietor said, "Sorry, it was 3. You were close, but no free sex this time."

As they were driving away, the redneck said to his buddy, "I think that game is rigged and he doesn't really give away free sex.
Bubba replied, "No it ain't, Billy Ray. It ain't rigged - my wife won twice last week."

Geek humor

Two IT guys were chatting after work.

"Guess what," says the first IT guy, "yesterday, I met this gorgeous blonde girl in a bar."

"What did you do?" asks the other IT guy.

"Well, I invited her over to my place, we had a couple of drinks, we got into the mood, and then she suddenly asked me to take all her clothes off."

"You're kidding me!" exclaims the second IT guy.

"I took her miniskirt off, and then I lifted her and put her on my desk next to my new laptop."

"Really? You got a new laptop?"

e Nude Beach

A mother and father took their 6 year old son to a nude beach. As the
boy walked along the beach, he noticed that some of the ladies had
boobs bigger than his mother's, and asked her why.

She told her son, "The bigger they are the dumber the person is."

The boy, pleased with the answer, goes to play in the ocean but returns
to tell his mother that many of the men have larger willies than his
dad. His mother replied, "The bigger they are the dumber the person
is."

Again satisfied with this answer, the boy returns to the ocean to play.

Shortly after, the boy returned again. He promptly tells his mother,
"Daddy is talking to the dumbest girl on the beach and the longer he
talks, the dumber he gets."

The Panda Joke...

A panda bear walks into a restaurant and orders a meal. After he finishes his meal, he shoots the waiter and then leaves.

When the police catch up to him an hour later, they ask the panda why he shot the waiter.

The panda says, “Look up panda in the dictionaryâ€Â.

The police do and the entry for panda states: eats shoots and leaves.

Sherlock Holmes...

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they were exhausted and went to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that the Lord is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."

Decision, decisions

A man was called in for an audit by the IRS.

He asked his accountant for advice on what to wear. "Wear your worst
clothing and an old pair of shoes. Let them think you are a pauper," the accountant replied.

Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got opposite advice:
"Don't let them intimidate you. Wear your best suit and an expensive tie."

Confused, the man went to his Rabbi who would surely know the correct answer.

Let me tell you a story," replied the Rabbi. "A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. Her mother advised; a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck and wool socks."

Her best friend gave conflicting advice: '"Wear your sexiest negligee, with a V-neck right down to your navel."

The man did not understand: "But Rabbi, what does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?"

It doesn't matter what you wear," replied the Rabbi,
"you're going to get screwed."

True Story taken of thedailywtf.com

Not a joke but I thought it was quiet funny.


Most people have a hard time understanding why CEO's are paid so highly. They don't see that it really is a tough job, requiring the utmost dedication to the company. They don't realize that a CEO has no power to directly change things and that he must rely on all of subordinates to realize the company's objectives. They don't get that it takes a very special person, one who is a skillful communicator, a champion motivator, and an ideal role model to do the job. But then again, they are inundated with anonymously-submitted examples like today's ...

Wow. Someone does not want to work here. Rather than having the courage to quit and go get a job elsewhere this supposedly adult individual has chosen to stay and take up space in our company.

They made the mistake today of telling a candidate in the elevator that they should not take a job here at -----. That ----- was not a good place to work.

The candidate then told the recruiter, who then told us. The recruiter is getting a description of the person who told the candidate this. If necessary I will pay the candidate to come and identify who they talked to.

Once this person is identified they will be fired immediately and in quite a spectacular fashion.

I'd suggest if that person has an ounce of personal honor they will quit now. Otherwise it will be quite a public spectacle later.

The people in this company who work hard everyday to accomplish their jobs do not need the distraction of the bitchers that unfortunately every company has eventually.

I'd suggest your displeasure is endemic of your personality and most likely you have never been happy at any job you have ever had. So do us all a favor and leave.

If I sound outraged, it is because I am.

If you don't like this company -then GET THE HELL OUT.

The rest of us are trying to accomplish something here.

The questions below about Australia, are from potential visitors. They
were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the
actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of
humour.


Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV,
how do the plants grow? (UK).

A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching
them die.

Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)

A: Depends how much you've been drinking.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden)

list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)

A: What did your last slave die of?


Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia?
(USA)

A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe.
Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does
not... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in
Kings Cross. Come naked.

Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)

its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)

walking.
