As you had seen their bus was in an accident down the road, you know their transportation was going to be delayed several hours . The three people are: 1 . An old lady who is on her way to the hospital and looks as if she is about to die . 2 . An old friend who once saved your life . 3 . The perfect partner you have been dreaming about . Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your small car? Think before you continue reading . This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application . You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first . Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back . However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again . The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer . He simply answered, "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital . I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams . " Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations . Never forget to "Think Outside the Box . " HOWEVER . . . , the correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers . . . . I just love happy endings . ********************************************* A woman walks into an accountant's office and tells him that she needs to file her taxes . The accountant says: "Before we begin, I'll need to ask you a few questions . " He gets her name, address, social security number, etc, and then asks, "what is your occupation?" "I'm a hooker," she says . The accountant baulks and says, "No, no, no, that won't work . That is too crude for the IRD . Let's try to rephrase that . " The woman says, "OK . , I'm a high-class call girl . " "No, that is still inappropriate for the IRD . Try again . " They both think for a minute, then the woman says, "I'm an elite chicken farmer . " The accountant asks, "What does chicken farming have to do with being a call girl? "Well" she says, "I raised over a thousand little peckers last year . " "Good enough . " the accountant replies .

It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything that he'd ever have to testify about in court. So, when the Godfather interrogates the bookkeeper about the missing $10 million, he brings along an attorney who knows sign language. The Godfather asks the bookkeeper, "Where's the 10 million you embezzled from me"? The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the 10 million is hidden. The bookkeeper signs back, "I don't know what you are talking about." The attorney tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about." The Godfather pulls out a 9 mm pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple, cocks it and says, "Ask him again!" The attorney signs to the bookkeeper, "He'll kill you for sure if you don't tell him!" The bookkeeper signs back, "Okay! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!" The Godfather asks the attorney, "Well, what'd he say"? The attorney replies, "He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger."	smithie 38 (6684)

Dump the male flight attendants, no one wanted them in the first place . Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell - they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women . Hijackings would come to a halt and the airline industry would see record revenues . The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a party atmosphere going in the cabin . Even Trans-Atlantic flights would seem too quick, and, of course, every businessman in the country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women . Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money . I suspect tips would be so good that we could even charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and special services . This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right - a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset . Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself? Sincerely, Bill Clinton Cheers Billy 8-{) :D	Billy T (70)

I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!" He turned to her and said, "What a coincidence . . . This is a special day for me . I'm celebrating . " "This is a special day for me, too . I'm also celebrating," said the woman . "What a coincidence," said the man . They clinked glasses and he asked, "What are you celebrating?" "My husband and I have been trying to have a child . Today, my gynaecologist told me I'm pregnant!" "What a coincidence," said the man . "I'm a chicken farmer . All my hens were infertile, but today, they're finally all laying . " "That's great!" said the woman, "how did your chickens become fertile?" "I switched cocks," he replied . "What a coincidence!" she said .	Cicero (40)
