"Men, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. The good news is Saddam survived the bunker bombing. The bad news is he has lost an arm and a leg."

I didn't get that until you explained... Apparently neither did Duckula...
On a Sear's hairdryer:

(Gee that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Fritos:

one.)

"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere? My God!)

Jokes - kier - 05-21-2003
Nathan Zohner, a teenager from Idaho falls, interviewed 50 americans over the stricter control of the dangerous chemical dihydrogen monoxide. He had plenty of good reasons, it can cause excessive sweating or vomiting, is a major component of acid rain, in its gaseous form it causes severe burns, inhalation can kill, it contributes to erosion, decreases the eficiency of car brakes and is found in the tumors in cancer patients. It is not suprising 43 of the 50 people suported a ban of this dangerous chemical, and good luck to them. Dihydrogen monoxide, or H2O, is more comonly known as water.
Try and leave off any racist/harsh jokes, as I think some of them are a bit OTT.

These are fossils.
1. Herb was a manager at Worldcom, and in the recent 'belt tightening' he was cutting quite a bit of white collar help. In shipping, he could only keep Mary or Jack, and both were very professional. He could not choose, and hated to lose either. He decided to try some counselling to see who he could help get a job elsewhere most easily, and who could more easily handle the move.
He called Mary into his office and began to explain the situation, but was talking around the problem.
"Herb, could you cut to the chase? What's this really about?" asked Mary.
Herb was a bit flustered, so he blurted out: "Things are coming to a head here in shipping due to the downsizing, Mary, so I have to lay you or Jack off."
"Oh, in that case, Herb, jack off. I need to get back to work!"
2. Charlie and Jack, some months later, went on a fishing trip with some of the folks in the shipping department. Herb couldn't make it, but he wished them the best of luck and told them to call him if they forgot anything, or if they needed any help.
Well, as luck would have it, the three SUV's pulling the three small boats got into a rather nasty wreck on a sliperry mountain road, end result being that the cars were driveable, but the boats, and their trailors were totally destroyed. It looked like the fishing trip was doomed. Charlie then suggested they wire Herb. They sent him a telegram, there being no internet access out there in the boondocks (work with me here) and it read:
Bad accident. Stop. Send two punts and a canoe or vacation will end with horrible effects on employee morale. Stop. Jack and Charlie.
The next morning they came to the post office and got the reply telegram:
Ladies hired and sent via bus to arrive tonight at ten Stop. What the hell is a panoe Stop Herb.

Don't want to get into it - I'm not particularly fond of the old "French can't defend themselves" jokes by now. I've just been to France, spent a day in Verdun as well as the Somme. Definitely puts it all in perspective. Then you travel the back roads, skip the peage (freeway) and read the plaques as you go along, visiting churches in all of the small villages. Town after town after town. You know the story.
