From the Q Files, a subsidiary of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories

There's this guy in a bar, just looking at his drink.  He stays like
that for half-an-hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps
next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. 
 
The poor man starts crying. 
 
The truck driver says:  "Come on man, I was just joking.  Here, I'll buy
you another drink. I just can't see a man crying."
 
"No, it's not that.  This day is the worst of my life.
 
First, I fall asleep,  and I go late to my office.

My boss, outraged, fires me.

When I leave the building to go to my car, I found out it was stolen.

The police, they say they can do nothing. 

I get a cab to return home, and when I leave the cab, I remember I left
my wallet and credit cards there.

I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the
gardener. 

I leave home, and come to this bar.

And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and
drink my  poison . . ."

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around
that they offered a standing $1,000 bet.

The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass,
and hand the lemon to a patron.  Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of
juice out would win the money.

Many people had tried over time (weight lifters, longshoremen, etc.) but
nobody could do it.

One day this scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses and a
polyester suit, and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, "I'd like to try the
bet."

After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon,
and squeezed away.  Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the
little man.

But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his
fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.

As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1,000, and asked the little
man, "what do you do for a living?  Are you a lumberjack, a weight lifter,
or what?"

The man replied, "I work for the IRS."

A secret agent was sent to Ireland to pick up some very sensitive
information from an agent called Murphy. His instructions were to walk
around town using a code phrase until he met his fellow agent.  He found
himself on a desolate country road and finally ran into a farmer.

"Hello, said the agent, "I'm looking for a man called Murphy."

"Well you're in luck," said the farmer, "as it happens, there's a village
right over the hill, where there's a  butcher called Murphy, the baker is
named Murphy, three widows are called Murphy.  In fact my name is Murphy."

Aha, thought the agent, here's my man. So he whispered the secret code.
"The sun is shining.....the grass is growing.....the cows are ready for
milking."

"Oh" said the farmer, "you're looking for Murphy the spy - he's in the
village over the other direction."

Two hunters hire a small plane to take them to a remote area of Canada. Upon
dropping off the hunters, the pilot tells them, "Remember only one moose,
because the plane wouldn't be able to take off with more weight than that."
The hunters go off. A week later when the plane returns to pick them up the
two hunters are standing by the lake with two moose.

The pilot fumes, "I told you guys only one moose, you'll have to leave one
because we won't be able to take off with that much weight." "Oh, c'mon,"
beg the two hunters, "Last year the pilot let us take two moose on, you're
just a chicken."

Not wanting to be accused of being a coward, the pilot allows the two to
bring both moose on the craft. The plane starts across the lake, straining
to take off. The pilot tries and tries to no avail as they run out of room
and the plane crashes into the trees at the end of the lake. A while later
after coming to one of the hunters gets up and looks at all the scattered
debris of the wreck and says, "Where are we?" To which the other hunter
replies, "Oh, I'd say about a hundred yards farther than last year."

An airline pilot with poor eyesight had managed to pass his periodic vision
exams by memorizing the eye charts beforehand. One year, though, his doctor
used a new chart that the pilot had never before seen. The pilot proceeded
to recite the old chart and the doctor realized that she'd been hoodwinked.

Well, the pilot proved to be nearly blind as a bat. But the doctor could not
contain her curiosity. "How is it that someone with your eyesight can manage
to pilot a plane at all? I mean, how for example do you taxi the plane out
to the runway?"

"Well," says the pilot, "it's really not very hard. All you have to do is
follow the instructions of the ground controller over the radio. And
besides, the landmarks have all become quite familiar to me over the years."

"I can understand that," replies the doctor. "But what about the take-off?"

"Again, a simple procedure. I just aim the plane down the runway, go to full
throttle, pull back on the stick, and off we go!"

"But once you're aloft?"

"Oh, everything's fully automated these days. The flight computer knows our
destination, and all I have to do is hit the autopilot and the plane pretty
much flies itself."

"But I still don't see how you land!"

"Oh, that's the easiest part of all. All I do is use the airport's radio
beacon to get us on the proper glide path. Then I just throttle down and
wait for the co-pilot to yell, 'AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!' pull the nose up, and
the plane lands just fine!"

The dew was still wet as the prisoner was let out into the yard for the last
time. The soldiers of the firing detail shuffled out to their usual
positions as the guards led the prisoner to the stake at the far end of the
paddock. There, he was securely bound as the captain of the guards stepped
forward to contend with the final courtesies.

"Blindfold?" he inquired.

"No, thank you," said the condemned.

The captain was a little taken aback at the difficulty and leaned forward so
as not to be heard.

"Please," he said, "take the blindfold. It is not an act of cowardice to be
spared this spectacle. It makes it MUCH easier for you."

The condemned thought for a moment and relented. The blindfold was tied over
his eyes.

"Cigarette?" offered the captain.

"No thanks," said the prisoner, "I don't smoke."

Here again the captain paused and thought of a tactful approach. He leaned
in and spoke in a confidential tone.

"No matter. Please take the cigarette. It makes it MUCH easier for the men
on the firing squad."

 (This joke is old and is from a time when "even in France," 
certain rubber and leather goods were not openly sold.)

An American couple is in Paris, a much awaited trip, when suddenly the wife
dies of a heart attack. The husband decides to have her buried there as the
visit to France was something they had longed for for many years. All
arrangements are made when he suddenly realizes that he doesn't have a black
hat for the funeral. The hotel concierge tells him that what he wants is a
"chapeau noir." So off he goes to find a store open late.

First he meets a gendarme and in his fractured French asks, "M'sieur, ou
pouvais-je acheter un capeau noir?" 

The policeman is a bit surprised but, after thinking a bit, gives our friend
directions. The store--if that is what it is--looks a little seedy and run
down, but the man behind the counter looks friendly so in goes our friend.
He speaks first:

"M'sieur, je veux acheter un capeau noir."

"Mais, monsieur, j'ai des capeaux rouges, des capeaux blancs, et des capeaux
marrons, mais pas des capeaux noires. Pourquoi avez vous besoin d'un capeau
noir?"

"Ma femme est morte."

"O Monsieur! Quelle beau sentiment!"

over there?" "Damned if I know, wasn't there yesterday..."



An Englishman, an Aussie and a Scotsman were sitting in a pub, each quaffing a pint of Guinness. 
Three flies buzzing down from the ceiling lazily circled each drinker and eventually, "buzzzplooop," 
each fly landed in a different glass.

The Englishman gave a disgusted look at his pint, dipped the fly out with a
spoon, flicked it over his shoulder, and drained the glass.

The Aussie noticed the fly as he put the glass to his lips and just kept on drinking.

They both looked on amazed as the Scotsman carefully grabbed the fly by its
wings, gently lifted it and shook it out above his glass, shouting "Spit it out!!!  Spit it out!!! It's mine!!!"

fun. I'll run into one on purpose and as it's closing on me, I grab
the bar and bench press it twenty or thirty times."  And with that he
slams another shot.

with that he slams another shot.

and once he's done he leaves.  Twenty minutes later, another pig walks in, 
orders a scotch and soda, and asks to use the bathroom.  Twenty minutes after

came up to him.  They asked him, "Sir, we hate to bother you, but we are doing 
research for our psych class on the sex lives of grown adults.  Would you please 
tell us the last time that you had sex?"
        Without hesitating, the pilot replied, "1959."
        The girl said, "Wow, that was a long time ago!"

something!  Heck, it's only 2110 right now."



	An upstanding citizen was asked by his church to give a talk on adultery. However, 
this man's wife was very prim and narrow-minded. The man, knowing she would never 
approve of the proposed topic, told her he was giving a speech but that it was 
going to be on boating. 
	His talk on adultery was such a success that when a church member saw the wife in 
the grocery store the next week the church member commented, without mentioning 
the subject talked about, how much she had enjoyed the man's speech. "I'm really 
surprised he knew so much about it," the man's wife exclaimed. "He's
only done it twice in his life. The first time he threw up and the second time 
his hat blew off."

The Pope pointed out that he was the spiritual leader of millions all
over the world, the President explained that if he died then America
would be stuck with the Vice-President, and so forth.  Then Mayor Daley
said, "Look!  We're not solving anything like this!  The only fair
thing to do is to vote on it."  So they did.  
Mayor Daley won by 97 votes.
