While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, he decided to pose a question to all assembled.

He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.

He posed the question of just how much of sex was ?work? and how much of it was ?pleasure?? The X.O. chimed in with 75-25% in favour of work.

A Lieutenant (N) said it was 50-50%. The Captain?s Aide, a Sub Lieutenant responded with 25-75% in favour of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time.

There being no consensus, the Lieutenant turned to the Leading Seaman who was in charge of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion? With no hesitation, the young Leading Seaman responded, ?Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure.?

The Lieutenant was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?!?

?Well, Sir,? began the Leading Seaman, ?if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them.?

The room fell silent.

God Bless the Canadian Navy.

Who says you can?t potty train a man?

Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed.

Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favourite chair.

Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

?Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized. ?

Now, close your eyes and repeat to yourself, ?I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson?.

HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ARSE THAN YOURS!

They immediately began to argue with one another as to who was at fault for the mishap.

When the snake remarked that he had been blind since birth, and thus should be given additional leeway, the rabbit said that he, too, had been blind since birth.

The two animals then forgot about the collision and began commiserating concerning the problems of being blind.

The snake said that his greatest regret was the loss of his identity.

He had never been able to see his reflection in the water, and for that reason did not know exactly what he looked like, or even what he was.

The rabbit declared that he had the same problem.

Seeing a way that they could help each other, the rabbit proposed that one feel the other from head to toe, and then try to describe what the other animal was.

The snake agreed, and started by winding himself around the rabbit.

After a few moments, he announced, ?Youâ??ve got very soft, fuzzy fur, long ears, big rear feet, and a little fuzzy ball for a tail. I think that you must be a bunny rabbit!?

The rabbit was much relieved to find his identity, and proceeded to return the favor to the snake.

After feeling about the snakeâ??s body for a few minutes, he asserted,

?Well, youâ??re scaly, youâ??re slimy, youâ??ve got beady little eyes, you squirm and slither all the time, and youâ??ve got a forked tongue.

I think youâ??re a lawyer!?

One week later, an East Coast newspaper, reported the following: ?After digging as deep as 30 meters in fields near Come-By-Chance, NFLD. ? George Upshal, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. George has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago Newfoundlanders were already using wireless.?

?Be my guest,? said the manufacturer graciously.

No sooner had the sales rep taken his place on the scale than a loud, very human-sounding voice issued forth, ?One at a time, please, one at a time!?

Woods turns to Wonder and says, ?How?s the singing career going??
Stevie Wonder replies, ?Not too bad. How?s the golf??Â
Woods replies, ?Not too bad, I?ve had some problems with my swing, but I think I?ve got that going right now.?
Stevie says, ?I always find that when my golf swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right.?

Tiger says, ?You play golf??

Wonder says, ?Oh, yes, I?ve been playing for years.?Â
Woods says, ?But you?re blind! How can you play golf if you can?t see??Wonder replies, ?I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball toward him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the next shot till I get to the green.?
?But how do you putt?? asks Woods.

?Well,? says Stevie, I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball toward his voice.?

Woods asks, ?What?s your handicap??

Stevie says, ?Well, I?m a scratch golfer.?

Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, ?We?ve got to play a round sometime.?

Wonder replies, ?Well, people don?t take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole.?

Woods thinks it over and says, ?OK, I?m for that, when would you like to play??

Stevie says, ?Pick a night.?

In response to Bill?s comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash? twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason.

You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive – but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single ?This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation? warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask ?Are you sure?? before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You?d have to press the ?Start? button to turn the engine off.

The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly. As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.
