If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?


Do people who spend $2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water know that spelling it backwards is Naive?

Love may be blind, but lust isn't.

It's like the movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Preparations A-G failed.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

When the Vikings discovered it, Greenland was green. They raised cattle and sheep there a thousand years ago.

I like it when you tell someone you are going to a funeral and they ask "Did someone die?"

I used to work for a company called "Lavon Boat Rental". It was on Lake Lavon. People would call us and ask "Do you rent boats?"

Sorry to get real on this one, but global weather shifts have been cited as the cause of the name confusion. Apparently way back, the Vikings who settled Greenland were wiped out when the weather pattern changed over the course of 2 or 300 hundred years but the name of the area was already decided. Same goes for IceLand. OK back to the fun......

Ever wonder why they often refer to it as a "rip chord" in skydiving? Just me...but the words "rip", parachute" and "skydiving" just don't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

What about a near-miss in an Airplane. It seemd to me that a near-miss is equal to a hit (but we almost missed). A near-hit would mean "we almost hit", but missed......"George Carlin"

Well, taking into account Zeno's Paradox (http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/zeno_tort/), you'll never get all the way to death if you only go half-way each time....

Getting scared half to death twice, you'd only end up at 3/4 the way to your destination....

I'm an engineer......here is my answer to Zeno's Paradox.


A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are at
one end of this long room, and a beautiful woman is at
the other end. The only problem is that to get across the
room you can go half way across, then half way again, and
again, etc.
"You'll never get there!" the mathematician proclaims,
"You can always go half way again!" So he doesn't even try.
"O-yeah?" the physicist responds, "we'll see about
that..." and he goes half way across the room, then halfway
again, and again and then gives up. "He's right, you can
always go halfway again...you'll never get there!".
The engineer walks across the room, has his way with
the woman, walks back, and says to the other two: "Well, I
can get close enough for all practical purposes!"

No wonder why zombies have such bad breath! Every time they try to pick up some toothpaste at a 24h drugstore, the employees lock the doors. Poor zombies.

Revenge of the Blonde

Trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards."

The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is . an auto parts store?"

"No," the cook said. "Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are 2 slices of crisp bacon."

"Oh, OK!" said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.

The trucker asked, "What are the beans for Blondie?

She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!
