  76. │       At The Movies:                                                     │
  77. │                                                                          │
  78. │       An evening at the movies is a very social occasion, yet most       │
  79. │       people do not interact. You can do something about this by         │
  80. │       following a few rules.                                             │
  81. │                                                                          │
  82. │       If you aren't over 6 feet tall, it is wise to wear a very          │
  83. │       tall hat or hairdo. This compells the people sitting behind        │
  84. │       you to instigate a conversation.                                   │
  85. │                                                                          │
  86. │       Whisper a lot. If you don't have a friend with you, simply         │
  87. │       whisper to an imaginary friend. Tell them how much your gas        │
  88. │       bill was last month, what color you wish your hair really          │
  89. │       was, how the movie ends, anything you like. It's important         │
  90. │       that you talk a lot, as it encourages others to join in.           │
  91. │                                                                          │
  92. │       Kick the seat in front of you. This will focus attention on        │
  93. │       you and create an opportunity for the person sitting in that       │
  94. │       seat to turn around and talk.                                      │
  95. │                                                                          │
  96. │       Burp a lot. This will take attention from the movie and put        │
  97. │       it where it belongs - on you.                                      │
  98. │                                                                          │
  99. │       Chew gum and blow bubbles. Lots of people will ask, "Where         │
  100. │       the he@@ did you get that gum???"                                  │
  101. │                                                                          │
  102. │       Cough. Although it sounds simple enough, coughing is an art.       │
  103. │       Taking coughing lessons will provide you with the necessary        │
  104. │       skills to impress the other movie-goers.                           │
  105. │                                                                          │
  106. │       Presuming you have followed all steps correctly, you will          │
  107. │       have conversed with at least a dozen people before the movie       │
  108. │       is over. Of course, there's a very high chance that they will      │
  109. │       gang up and attack you in a dark alley after the show, but         │
  110. │       you can be secure in the knowledge that you have done your         │
  111. │       small part to make the world a friendlier place.                   │
  112. │                                                                          │
  113. │       In A Restaurant:                                                   │
  114. │                                                                          │
  115. │       While it is considered extremely rude to push aside the            │
  116. │       people who have made reservations, it is the easiest way to        │
  117. │       be seated quickly. Those people probably aren't as hungry as       │
  118. │       you are, anyway.                                                   │
  119. │                                                                          │
  120. │       To impress your date, you should order in French. If the           │
  121. │       waiter is named Jacques and seems to understand French, it is      │
  122. │       wise to switch to an obscure Tibetan dialect.                      │
  123. │                                                                          │
  124. │       The waiter will bring you water. You are expected to drink         │
  125. │       this water, although no one else ever does. Recommendation:        │
  126. │       Gargle with it.                                                    │
  127. │                                                                          │
  128. │       Always remember your mother's advice to "chew your food forty      │
  129. │       times." Then, just for the heck of it, stick out your tongue       │
  130. │       and ask the waiter, "What does this remind you of?"                │
  131. │                                                                          │
  132. │       It is rude to talk to people with pieces of food stuck in          │
  133. │       between your teeth. Always remember to remove the food chunks      │
  134. │       and offer them to the other diners.                                │
  135. │                                                                          │
  136. │       If the maitre'd is one of those snooty types, it's always fun      │
  137. │       to insist that he give you a foot massage. If he doesn't,          │
  138. │       burp the "Star-Spangled Banner" while standing on your head.       │
  139. │                                                                          │
  140. │       Food can be fun. While spaghetti is traditionally eaten with       │
  141. │       a fork, it can easily be sucked up through your nose.              │
  142. │                                                                          │
  143. │       Waiters appreciate it when you joke around with them. Scream       │
  144. │       that your escargots are still alive and slithering into your       │
  145. │       date's blouse. The waiter will enjoy it so much, he probably       │
  146. │       won't even notice when you don't leave him a tip.                  │
  147. │                                                                          │
  148. │       Another method of bonding with the waiter involves pretending      │
  149. │       to choke on a cockroach. Waiters never get along with cooks,       │
  150. │       and this will indicate that you have tremendous understanding      │
  151. │       and empathy for him.                                               │
  152. │                                                                          │
  153. │       Forks and knives can be an impediment if you're very, very         │
  154. │       hungry. The best solution in this situation is to throw away       │
  155. │       your cutlery and eat voraciously, not stopping until your          │
  156. │       fingers are accidentally chewed to bloody stumps.                  │
  157. │                                                                          │
  158. │       A good meal is never complete without a cup of coffee. Stick       │
  159. │       your fingers into the coffee to stop the bleeding.                 │
  160. │                                                                          │
  161. │       Once the meal is finished, you will be offered a doggy bag to      │
  162. │       take home. Why go to the bother? It's much more practical to       │
  163. │       bring your dog into the restaurant and let him lick your           │
  164. │       plate clean on the spot.                                           │
  165. │                                                                          │
  166. │       What To Do If You Spot Elvis:                                      │
  167. │                                                                          │
  168. │       It is always best to be discreet, yet friendly, when dealing       │
  169. │       with the undead. Offer him a manicure, since his nails will        │
  170. │       certainly be ragged from scraping at the inside of his             │
  171. │       coffin.                                                            │
  172. │                                                                          │
  173. │       Try to instill a bond of familiarity with him by saying, "I        │
  174. │       don't know if you remember me, but I sat between you and           │
  175. │       Bigfoot on the UFO last week."                                     │
  176. │                                                                          │
  177. │       Tell him that his new diet - Thinness Through Death - has          │
  178. │       done absolute wonders. Elvis will certainly be glad to hear        │
  179. │       that.                                                              │
  180. │                                                                          │
  181. │       Offer to call up the doctor who did the autopsy and arrange        │
  182. │       to get Elvis's brain put back into his head.                       │
  183. │                                                                          │
  184. │       Do not - repeat, do not! - dangle a peanut butter and banana       │
  185. │       sandwich in front of him! All those years of being buried          │
  186. │       will have made him extremely hungry, and he will probably          │
  187. │       kill you.                                                          │
  188. │                                                                          │
  189. │       On A Bus:                                                          │
  190. │                                                                          │
  191. │       Although there is always a sign saying, "Correct Change            │
  192. │       Only," bus drivers secretly enjoy refusing to make change for      │
  193. │       passengers. Insist that the driver change a fifty dollar bill      │
  194. │       and you'll be his friend for life.                                 │
  195. │                                                                          │
  196. │       The bus may be crowded but you shouldn't have to stand up.         │
  197. │       Simply throw yourself into the lap of the meekest looking          │
  198. │       person with a seat.                                                │
  199. │                                                                          │
  200. │       Riding a bus can be a socially invigorating experience. Start      │
  201. │       up a conversation with the person sitting next to you. If          │
  202. │       they seem too agreeable, loudly point out that their breath        │
  203. │       stinks. This is certain to engender some lively conversation.      │
  204. │                                                                          │
  205. │       A gang of teenagers will invariably get on the bus, carrying       │
  206. │       a loud radio. Since the noise is bound to interfere with your      │
  207. │       conversation, you should scream at them to turn it off. They       │
  208. │       will probably knife you, necessitating an emergency trip to        │
  209. │       the hospital to have your leg reattached. While you're             │
  210. │       recovering, you will have the wonderful memories of your bus       │
  211. │       trip to help speed your recovery.                                  │

  229. │                                                                          │
  230. │       Borg: Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.               │

  560. │  up a storm. After the Mass he asked the Monsignor how                   │

  562. │  a few things we need to get straightened out:                           │
  563. │                                                                          │
  564. │  1) There are 10 commandments not 12                                     │

  566. │  3) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him              │
  567. │  4) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.                     │
  568. │  5) Next Sunday there is a taffy pulling contest at St.                  │
  569. │     Peters, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's                   │

  571. │     Big Daddy, Junior, and The Spook                                     │

  593. │ Leroy keeps his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling down toward him.     │
  594. │ The feline bounces off an awning and Leroy runs into the street          │
  595. │ to catch it.  He jumps six feet into the air and makes a spectacular     │
  596. │ one-handed catch.  The crowd that has gathered to watch the fire         │
  597. │ breaks into cheers.                                                      │
  598. │                                                                          │

  611. │                                                                          │
  612. │ The lawyer said, "I don't have to outrun HIM - I only have to            │

  616. │ A man had a weird illness.  Whenever he broke wind, it made the sound    │
  617. │ "Honda."  He asked his doctor about it but the doctor (after months of   │
  618. │ tests and literature-reading) could not figure it out. Finally, just     │
  619. │ before he was about to give up, he had an idea. "I'll call the Honda     │
  620. │ Company in Japan and ask the company doctor!"  Well, he called the       │
  621. │ Japanese doctor and was told by him to see if the patient had an         │
  622. │ abscess in his teeth somewhere.  Sure enough, there was, and when it     │
  623. │ was treated, the other affliction ended.  When the doctor asked his      │
  624. │ Japanese counterpart how he could make such a great diagnosis over       │
  625. │ the phone from such a long distance away the man replied:                │
  626. │                                                                          │
