  5.                                 NO BRUSIN' SUSAN
  6.                       Susan's mother enrolled her in school.   
  7.                           She instructed the teacher,  
  8.                       "If my daughter gets unruly in class, 
  9.                         just slap the girl next to her 
  10.                         and it will intimidate Susan!"

  12.                                    THE PAINTER
  13.                        A bum rang  the doorbell of a house in a
  14.                   wealthy neighborhood.  The  maid  opened  the 
  15.                   door.
  16.                        Bum:   "Ma'am,  could   youse  spare   a
  17.                   sandwich?"
  18.                        Maid:  "I'll make  you  a sandwich,  but
  19.                   you'll have to work for  it.  Here, take this
  20.                   green paint around back and paint the porch."
  21.                        About  an  hour  later the bum  rang the
  22.                   front doorbell.
  23.                        Bum: "Well, I  did what you asked.   But
  24.                   that wasn't no Porsche, it was a BMW!"

  26.                                      SPECIAL
  27.                        Craig,  my  wife's  nephew,  went  to  a
  28.                   convenience store  to purchase  charcoal that
  29.                   was  on  sale.   He  loaded  up  ten bags  of
  30.                   charcoal in his shopping cart and went to the
  31.                   checkout stand.
  32.                        "I'm    sorry    sir,"    the    cashier
  33.                   contested,"but  you are  limited to  one  bag  
  34.                   of charcoal with a ten dollar purchase."
  35.                        "Yeah, I know," retorted Craig.  "That's
  36.                   why I didn't buy ten dollars worth of goods--
  37.                   I didn't want  to be  limited to  one bag  of
  38.                   charcoal!"
  39.                         The confused  cashier rang up  ten bags
  40.                   of charcoal at the sale price.
  41.                                        ***

  43.                            A Texan was being introduced 
  44.                                 to a Louisianian:
  45.                     "Louisiana?  The Texan asked, "Isn't that 
  46.                           an outlying province of Texas?"
  47.                        "Impossible!" said the Louisianian,
  48.                            "Nothing can outlie Texas!"

  103.                          Did you year about the butcher 
  104.                         who backed into the meat grinder?
  105.                        He got a little behind in his work.
  106.                                        ***
  107.                                        POOR
  108.                          We were so poor growing up that:
  109.                                         1
  110.                             We couldn't pay attention.
  111.                                         2
  112.                            We ate beans for breakfast,
  113.                              drank water for dinner,
  114.                             and swelled up for supper.
  115.                                         3
  116.                                When we were robbed,
  117.                                 all the robber got
  118.                                   was practice.
  119.                                        ***
  120.                                     BIG MOUTH
  121.                      My girlfriend had such a big mouth that
  122.                          She could eat a banana sideways.
  123.  
  124.                        Once, I took her to a football game.
  125.                    At the kickoff, the ball was heading for us
  126.                               and I yelled, "Duck!"
  127.                          "I don't see no duck," she said.
  128.                        And if she hadn't had her mouth open
  129.                that football would have hit her right in the face.
  130.                                        ***
  131.                                 NOT MUCH OF A MAN
  132.                         A trucker was having a hamburger
  133.                          at a diner when a dozen bikers
  134.                        came in.  One sat on his left side 
  135.                        reached over and took a bite out of
  136.                        his hamburger.  Another on his right
  137.                       took a sip of his coffee.  The trucker
  138.                     quietly got up, paid the cashier and left.
  139.                                "Not much of a man," 
  140.                           said a biker to the waitress.
  141.                          "Not much of a driver, either,"
  142.                                 said the waitress,
  143.                      "He just ran over a dozen motorcycles!"
  144.                                        ***
  145.                                   ABOUT HAWAII
  146.                                Well, Hilo, Hawaii?
  147.                                    Fine, Oahu?
  148.                                        ***
  149.                                OLD CURIOUS MIXTURE
  150.                      They're mixing Energine with Pepsi now.
  151.                             It not only hits the spot
  152.                                   It removes it.
  153.                                        ***
  154.                                     COMMERCIAL
  155.                                     She's lovely!
  156.                                     She's engaged!
  157.                                     She uses Ponds!

  159.                                        ***
  160.                                  GRANOLA COUNTRY
  161.                           California is granola country:
  162.                        The land of fruits, nuts and flakes.
  163.                                        ***
  164.                                      AUCTION
  165.                        A  gentleman  handed  the  auctioneer  a
  166.                   note, which he  read silently, and then  made
  167.                   this announcement,
  168.                        "Mr. Jones has lost his wallet with 2000
  169.                   dollars  inside   and  he  is   offering  200
  170.                   dollars."
  171.                        After a  brief pause, a hand  was raised
  172.                   in the crowd, and the man responded,
  173.                                  "I'll bid 210!"
  174.                                   (Paul Harvey)
  175.                                        ***
  176.                                    THE WAITRESS
  177.                        I was in a restaurant the other day.
  178.                      Finally the waitress arrived and asked,
  179.                              "You been waiting long?"
  180.                "Nah," I answered,"I needed a shave before I came."
  181.  
  182.                      She brought me some CHICKEN NOODLE soup.
  183.                        After tasting the soup, I commented,
  184.                          "I always wondered what they did
  185.                             with those CHICKEN HEADS."
  186.  
  187.                           She poured me a cup of coffee.
  188.                           "This coffee tastes like mud!"
  189.                                    I exclaimed.
  190.                            "It should," she responded,
  191.                           "It was GROUND this morning."
  192.  
  193.                            There was a fly in my soup,
  194.                                   so I queried,
  195.                        "What's that fly doing in my soup?"
  196.                           "Well, I don't rightly know,"
  197.                                    she replied,
  198.                       "But it looks like the breast stroke."
  199.  
  200.                             Later she asked for a tip.
  201.                              "Don't play the horses,"
  202.                                     I advised.
  203.                              "I wouldn't bet on it,"
  204.                                   she countered.
  205.                                        ***
  206.                                BUSINESS IS BUSINESS
  207.                     Two businessmen were talking on the phone:
  208.                     "I heard you're having a fire sale, Abe."
  209.                    "No, Sam, its a going-out-of business sale.
  210.                              Fire sale is next week."

  213.                        I was talking with a fellow pastor:

  215.                               "John," he interupted,
  216.                        "I didn't know you had any friends."

  219.                            I dropped some laundry off 
  220.                        at a Chinese Laundry the other day.
  221.                            "I couldn't help but notice 
  222.                          the name of your establishment,
  223.                              `Franz Heinz Laundry,'"
  224.                                     I stated.
  225.                           "Well, it happened this way," 
  226.                                   he explained.
  227.                      "I was in line to apply for citizenship.
  228.                     The guy ahead of me was named Franz Heinz.
  229.                            When they asked me my name,

  235.                            and let out a terrific ROAR.
  236.                                  All the animals 
  237.                               stampeded into hiding
  238.                             except a lone, frightened,
  239.                                 shivering monkey.
  240.                          "Little monkey," the lion asked,
  241.                          "Why can't you ROAR like that?"
  242.                             The monkey replied meekly,
  243.                                  "I been sick!"

  245.                                  MOTHER'S ADVICE
  246.                          My mother used to tell me this 
  247.                      every morning before I left for school:
  248.                               "Son," she would say,
  249.                          "Don't forget to breathe today.
  250.                             Just remember your father.
  251.                                 He quit breathing
  252.                          and just look where it got him."

  259.                      The undercover game warden looked around
  260.                        and finally arranged a fishing trip
  261.                                 with the suspect.
  262.                   Sure enough, when they had gone several miles
  263.                     the suspect pulled out a stick of dynamite
  264.                        lit it, and threw it into the water.
  265.                            The undercover officer said,
  266.                         "Don't you know that is illegal?"
  267.                       The fisherman calmly lit another stick
  268.                       and handed it to the officer, saying,
  269.                     "Are you going to just sit there and talk

  275.                   "Who do you think, Teacher?" Johnny answered.
  276.                      "I don't think--I know!" she shot back.
  277.                       "Well, I don't think I know, either,"

  291.                           who had a feather in her hat.
  292.                      When she tripped and fell, he exclaimed,
  293.                                   "Look at that!
  294.                               A feather on one end,
  295.                              And down on the other!"

  321.                     My father-in-law carried a few groceries 
  322.                       from the grocery store and commented,
  323.                           "I must be getting stronger--
  324.             I used not to be able to carry $10 worth of groceries."

  327.                  A drunk staggered down the aisle of flight #333.
  328.                              He fell against a seat 
  329.                  and looked into the face of a baby, commenting,
  330.                    "Lady, that is the ugliest kid I ever saw!"
  331.                         The young mother burst into tears.
  332.                  A stewardess, attempting to comfort her, said, 
  333.                      "May I bring you a drink or something?"
  334.                          "I'll have a Coke," she sobbed.
  335.                      The stewardess returned with the drink 
  336.                                  and said to her,
  337.                                "Here's your Coke."

  341.              A young mother was pushing her baby in a baby carriage.
  342.              Red Skelton came by, looked into the carriage and said,
  343.                "Don't get him close to a tree, or you'll lose him!"

  346.                                      OBSCENE
  347.                   Once upon a time, in the twenty-first century
  348.                        there lived a very busy businessman.
  349.                               In order to save time,
  350.                        he commissioned a genetic scientist
  351.                            to make a clone of himself.
  352.                        At first the clone worked out well.
  353.                     The clone attended less important meetings
  354.                            and made low-level decisions
  355.                         which saved the businessman time.
  356.                         However, something went wrong and 
  357.                            the clone went bad--cursing,
  358.                             making bad decisions, etc.
  359.                           When he could take it no more,
  360.                     the businessman pushed the clone out of a
  361.                                fifty story window.
  362.                           The police were in a quandary.
  363.                       They could not charge him with murder.
  364.                            How can you murder yourself
  365.                                and still be alive?
  366.                           Finally, the district attorney
  367.                             settled with this charge:
  368.                                 "We'll charge him
  369.                        with making an obscene clone fall."

  374.                          They were to make first contact 
  375.                        with a life form called The Furries.
  376.                          They were cute little fuzzballs
  377.                   with pleasant dispositions like Rush Limbaugh.
  378.                    After beaming down to the planet's surface,
  379.                           the Captain and the away team
  380.                    were taken down into a subterranean tunnel.
  381.                 Finally, they arrived at a cavernous throne room.
  382.                         There on a throne was a furry with
  383.                   a crown that looked like a hypodermic syringe.
  384.                                  You guessed it!
  385.                     He was the Furry with the Syringe on Top.

  396.                                   an ant circus.
  397.                            After getting out of prison,
  398.                                 he went into a bar
  399.                                  opened a box and 
  400.                        dumped his trained ants on the bar.
  401.                      "Hey, barkeep!" he said, while pointing,
  402.                                 "See those ants?"
  403.                               "Pesky little things,"
  404.                               the barkeeper replied

  416.                      "Mister, would you please hold this box
  417.                         while I go inside?" the boy asked?
  418.                            While he was holding the box
  419.                                it started leaking.
  420.                               "I wonder what it is?"
  421.                                 he said to himself
  422.                      as he touched the liquid to his tongue.
  423.                                "Tastes like beer,"
  424.                               he mumbled to himself.
  425.                                    At that time
  426.                        the boy burst through the door with
  427.                                 "Thanks, mister,
