    Jay,

    SGT. NIMROD
    I was working in Army security when a VIP from another base called to
    ask to whom he should address an important letter. Knowing my tough-to-spell last name would give him fits, I said, "Just put down Sergeant Gary, as my last name is too hard." The next day, I received a letter addressed to Sgt. Gary Toohard. G. C., via mail

    Maybe he needs to lay off the Viagra. <G>

    STANDING VIOLATION
    Sign above the toilet in a women's latrine at Camp Ripley in Minnesota: "If you are reading this sign while using this latrine, you are in the wrong one." Mike Lins, Savage, Minnesota

    There is a restaurant in Peninsula, Ohio called "The Winking Lizard",
    where in the restrooms (at least in the men's room), there are framed
    sections of today's newspaper...whether you stand or sit. :P I guess
    they have them in the women's restroom as well.

    I think of "The Far Side" cartoon, where the guy is coming out of the restroom...and the alarm is sounding, lights are flashing, and the sign
    screams out "DIDN'T WASH HANDS!!". <G>

    The guy who was the best man at my wedding (who passed away 5 months
    after my wife died), did some "crazy cartoons"...one showed a woman in
    front of the male urinal (standing up). I'm not sure how she was voiding,
    or if she had a gender identity issue (I never thought I'd see the day
    for that).

    He did a few other cartoons, as follows:

    1) At the zoo, walking past the elephant pen, is a rather heavy set
    female, with a huge buttocks (in the "cheeks"). One of the pachyderms
    turns to the other one, and says "Reminds me of my first wife".

    2) The real cause of forest fires: Smokey The Bear is lighting the
    leaves!!

    3) The center of the football team has a concerned look on his face,
    as the quarterback comes up right behind him!!

    There is another one, but it escapes me right now.

    NO-SENSE SENSOR
    A military base commander called to complain that the
    weather-forecasting software our company created for them kept
    reporting unexplainable wind shifts. "Do you know where the sensor is located?" my coworker asked. "Of course," he responded. "It's where we park the helicopters." Angelo Giordano, Bellevue, Nebraska

    That'll do it!!

    George,

    Hopefully the magazines weren't S&M, B&D themed!)

    I prefer M&M themed...and the plain, not with the peanuts. :P
    That would be my main candy nowadays, but caffeine in the chocolate
    can elevate one's heart rate.

    A fellow ham radio operator out in Big Spring, Texas, always does
    a holiday lights setup at various times of the year. With Halloween,
    it's a "safe haven" for kids to come and trick-or-treat. He said he
    had over 200 pounds of candy to give out.

    To me, that's a pimple proliferation, sugar rush, and caffeine
    high!!

    Playboy are coming out with a new magazine, especially for married men. Every month it's exactly the same woman.

    There is a topic in advertising called "Subliminal Seduction"...and a
    book by the same name that I read in college over 40 years ago (and I
    still have that book). It basically showed how you can be sexually
    aroused by an ad picture, especially with ads for alcoholic beverages.
    The point was illustrated by the following:

    Q: What's the sexiest thing in Playboy magazine??
    A: Clue. Forget about the centerfold.

    They opened up a stand selling flowers, but Heff called the 5-0 and got them shut down. They said they would've gotten away with it anywhere else.. But I guess only Hugh can stop florist friars.

    I've heard several variations of that one.

    & it teaches the kids (& parents thereof) that begging for freebies is okay, even if you can easily go out & buy your own.

    I give up, what is the sexirest thing in Playboy magazine. I'd answer, it depends on which issue it is. . . I prefered Hustler over Playboy back in my teens. Outgrew them all soon after. . .

    If there were a study exploring the pornography preference of people in each country, we could finally see what this world is coming to.

    I think both Hugh Hefner (Playboy) and Larry Flynt (Hustler) are dead
    and gone now.

    Mike,

    That is correct. From what I have heard, Hefner's sons inherited the magazine and sort of destroyed it.

    There was once a pinball machine, with the Playboy logos. I played with
    it (let me rephrase that <G>), among with other pinball games in the
    college game room 40 years ago.

    Yup, obscenity is defined by that which is intended to arouse but has no redeeming artistic value - those ads certainly qualify, but tasteful images of women the way God made them are not. . .

    and gone now.

    Yup. . . Hugh quite recently. . .

    All of us are beautifully and wonderfully made.

    I'm reminded of the joke where the scene is in The Garden Of Eden. The
    Lord takes Adam aside, and tells him that "I've given you all of this stuff
    for your enjoyment. What else can I do for you??".

    Adam thinks a minute, and says "Lord, I'd like to have myself a helpmeet,
    to keep me company, to make the bed, keep the place clean, cook, etc.".

    The Lord said "Adam, that's a tall order...it'll cost you an arm and a leg".

    Adam said "Lord, I can't afford that. How much can I get for one rib??". <G>

    I think both Hugh Hefner (Playboy) and Larry Flynt (Hustler) are dead
    and gone now.

    Yup. . . Hugh quite recently. . .

    And that's the naked truth.

    You've heard of the adult magazines for clergymen? Prayboy

    No wonder there's so much sexual sin in the church...and they try to cover
    it up. Yet, The Lord has seen it all...David's little affair with Bathsheba, while tragic...was nothing compared to what is going on now.

    Yup. . but all is known & justice will be dealt, as appropriate to their level of repentance & restitutionary mending of the damages done, both to the victims 7 to God's reputation which they blaspheme both by doing these sins & again by covering it up & allowing it to continue -- too bad, this latest pope (Jorge) was supposed to go crazy after it & shut it all down)

    I mean, I know these priest were themselves victims of child molestation, but the fact that not every victim becomes a victimizer is proof positive, they didn't HAVE to continue the pattern.

    My dad worked in a prison for sex offenders & he was blunt, but fair. with them.

    One guy comes up to my dad & says, "Jesus forgave me for traping those kids & I'm going to Heaven."

    Mt dad sternly addressed him, "you don't get to say that yet; you live the rest of your life without re-offending, then on your death bed, you can realize that you were forgiven; if you're not changed for the better, how can you claim to have been forgiven?

    My dad kept the focus on what mattered: rehabilitation of an offender into a law-abiding citizen, since the law said he had to be released after a certain amount of time, even if he's a risk to re-offend (as so many are)

    Speaking of on one's deathbed;

    There was an old man who lived by a forest. As he grew older and older, he started losing his hair, until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. That day, he called his children to a meeting... He said, "Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it's completely gone now. My hair can't be saved. But look outside at the forest. It's such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they'll all be cut down and this forest will look as bald as my hair."

    "What I want you to do..." the man continued. "Is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your descendants to do the same. It shall be our family's duty to keep this forest strong."

    So they did.

    Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them.

    And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heir-line.

    was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heir-line.

    That's because when a whole bunch of people cut the trees down for doing deforestation, it was a massive crew cut...and things got rather hairy. <G>
