A joke for the dopers..........

A little rabbit happily running through the forest stumbles upon a giraffe rolling a marijuana cigarette. The rabbit looks at her and says, "Giraffe my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come with me running through the forest, you'll see, you'll feel so much better!" The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit.

Then they come across an elephant doing opium, so the rabbit again says, "Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come running with us through the pretty forest, you'll see, you'll feel so good!" The elephant looks at them, looks at his razor, mirror and all, and then tosses them and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe.

The three animals then come across a lion about to take a heroin shot... The rabbit says "Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!" The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the hell out of the little rabbit.

As the giraffe and elephant watch in horror, they look at him and ask, "Lion, why did you do this? He was merely trying to help us all!"

The lion answers..... .....

"That little devil makes me run around the forest like an idiot for hours every time he's high on cocaine!"

God Was Your Closest Friend

God Was Your Closest Friend

by Randall Beers

I knew you were hurting although you wouldn’t cry,

And could see you were suffering, see the pain in your eye

I wanted to comfort you, to hold you, be with you that day,

You looked so helpless and frail while in bed you did lay.

I watched as you shivered from a new pain,

And wondered how I might have handled the same.

I wanted to scream, to shout, and to yell,

You said you were fine although your skin was so pale.

I knew in my heart your time was near end,

And wished I could take you, your body to mend.

I knew that soon God would be your closest friend,

You told me many times that’s how it would end.

I stood there watching as each breath came slow,

And fought to find courage, my emotions were low.

I promised you when the time came that I’d not cry,

You never saw my eyes wet, always they were dry.

I held your hand as I silently said goodbye,

And knew in my heart that soon you would die.

I stroked your forehead and said how I loved you,

You nodded and smiled and I knew that you knew.

I no longer care, my tears I can’t hide,

And as I stood there waiting for death by your side.

I knew then that God was your closest friend,

You had told me many times that’s how it would end.

This Guy Needs Help

I am a sailor in the New Zealand Navy. My parents live in the suburb of Seatoun and one of my sisters, who lives in Palmerston North, is married to a guy from Manchester, England. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my two sisters, who are prostitutes in Auckland.I have two brothers, one who is currently serving a non-parole life sentence in Mount Eaden Prison, Auckland, for the rape & murder of a teenage boy in 1994, the other currently being held in the Wellington remand centre on charges of incest with his three children. I have recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute who lives in Christchurch and indeed is still a part time "working girl" in a brothel, however, her time there is limited as she has recently been infected with an STD. We intend to marry as soon as possible and are currently looking into the possibility of opening our own brothel with my fiancee utilising her knowledge of the industry, working as the manager. I am hoping my two sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although I would prefer them not to prostitute themselves, at least it would get them off the streets and hopefully the heroin. 

My problem is this: I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family and of course I want to be totally honest with her. Should I tell her about my brother-in-law being a Manchester United fan? 

Mom Is God Black Or White!

One day Little Johnny walks up to his Mom and says, “Mommy, is God Black or White?”

She replies, “Well, Honey, God is both Black and White.

Then he says, “Mommy, is God a boy or a girl?”

“God is both a boy and a girl, Honey,” she replies.

“Mommy, is God gay or straight?” he inquires again.

Getting a little irritated, the mother replies, “Well, Honey, God is both gay and straight.”

After thinking for a moment, Johnny looks up and asks, “Mommy, is God Michael Jackson?”

Do you believe in ghost's

A professor at Auburn University is giving a seminar on the supernatural. Getting a feel for his students, he asks “How many of you believein ghosts?” About 80 of his students raise their hands.

“That’s a good start I suppose. Those of you who believe in ghosts, how many have actually seen a ghost?” About 30 students raise their hands.

“That’s good. I’m really glad you’re taking this seriously. Ok, has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?” About a dozen students raise their hands.

“That’s a great response. Has anyone ever touched a ghost?” Two students raise their hands. “That’s fantastic. But let me ask you one last question… have any of you ever made love to a ghost?”

One student in the back raises his hand. The professor is astonished. He removes his glasses, takes a step back, and says, “Son, in all the years I’ve been giving this lecture, no one has ever actually claimed to have slept with a ghost. Why don’t you come up here and tell us about it.”

The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor says, “Well, tell us what it’s like to have sex with a ghost.”

The student replies, “Ghost? Oh… I thought you said ‘goats’!”

School Gifts

It was at the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. 

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Some flowers." " 

That's right" the boy said, "but how did you know?" 

"Oh, just a wild guess," she said. 

The next pupil was the candy shop owner's daughter. 

The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets." 

"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. 

"Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher. 

The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and touched it to her tongue. 

"Is it wine?" she asked. 

"No," the boy replied, with some excitement. 

The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to her tongue. 

"Is it champagne?" she asked. 

"No," the boy replied, with more excitement. 

The teacher took one more taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?" 

With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"

The three friends congratulated each other just as the
fourth returned from the restroom and asked: "What are all
the congratulations for?" One of the three said: "We were
talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our
sons. ...What about your son?"

The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living
dancing as a stripper at a nightclub."

The three friends said: "What a shame...what a
disappointment."

The fourth man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son
and I love him. And he hasn't done too bad either. His
birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful
30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the
line Mercedes from his three boyfriends. !!!!!!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

The world's fastest train service!

China is on the charge. It will launch the world's fastest train service on August 1.

The rail service will start from the southern railway station in Beijing, which will also become the largest railway station in Asia. The service will link Beijing with one of China's Olympic co-host cities, Tianjin.

The new superfast trains have state-of-the-art facilities and will travel at speeds of 350-355 kilometres per hour. These trains have aircraft-like cabins. The station, first built in 1958, has been under reconstruction since May 10, 2006.

The old station has been converted into a swanky terminal with high-speed trains. It has 13 platforms and 24 rails. This will be the starting station of the inner-city line between Beijing and Tianjin and the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway.

The trains will run on the new $2.93-billion Tianjin line every three minutes, and each train could carry around 600 people. China plans to invest 300 billion yuan ($41 billion) to lay 7,820 kilometres of railway lines in 2008.

How Women Think......

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING
This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine"

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows)

This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine"

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)
This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off. LOUD SIGH This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

SOFT SIGH
Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow."

GO AHEAD
At some point in the near future! re, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble. PLEASE DO This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're welcome. THANKS A LOT This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing"

To find a dog without any fleas.
The Vet gave me a pill, for my dog to take....
When I showed it to him he jumped in the lake...
He finally came home about supper time.
Well, then I told him he was no friend of mine...
I told him the next day, to the vet we would go..
When that time came I drove real slow..
I drove up close, right next to the door....
I opened the car door, but could see him no more...
He broke his leash, and ran away...
I haven't seen him for days and days.
I got a call from a neighbor of mine.
For on his rug my dog had dined.
Boy, oh, boy was I ever mad.
He knew right then I was truly sad.
One hundred dollars was the cost of the rug...
Right then I thought Why couldn't I had a pet bug ?
I worked real hard both day and night
To pay for a rug that wasn't in sight.
Let's get back to my dog right now....
The good news, I traded him for a big fat cow.....

One Minute Poem...

I've been in a mood
To write a poem or two
I don't know why
I do what I do
I guess it's just a natural thing
Like cutting a ham or sucking a string
All of these rhymes are in my head
Though they aren't good
Still give me some cred
Some people are weird
Some people are schmoes
Some people are just big stinking chodes
I choose not to be
A mean mean person
To be mean is to be scared
And I do declare
That I enjoy my decadent poems
For they foreshadow
What I can not see
And what I can not taste
Like gloopy glue paste
Or plastic veneers
Did anyone notice how much Mrs. Scoggin sneers?
The hallways are packed
With stupid dumb sheep
When I complain. I must be bleeped.
No school. No more.
I hateth thee!
You farce! You arse!
I can not be free!
Of all the idiotic idioms
And all the practical practices
Forget the idioms! Forget the sheep!
Practice not but snooze you fool!
Snooze I say! Snooze!

The Water in the Toilet....

The toilet is a magical gateway
It's also so comfortable that you'd like to stay
The toilet is attached to an amazing connection and the toilet makes up only a small section
The journey starts at the bottom of the bowl
And it doesn't stop till it reaches it's goal
The occupier hits the handle switching the machine to send
And the waste goes down through the U-bend
Soon the waste gets down to the sewers
Where the water's so bad if you drink it you get tumors
The waste keeps going through that system
Where there's nothing to find that could possibly glisten
Soon the waste gets to the water plant
Where the waste goes through a cleansing chant
Then this new water goes on a new mission
A new cleaner expedition
The chrome clean pipes help this water steer
And you could bet your soul that this water's clear
It has no discolorations and does not stink
And this is the water that comes out your kitchen sink

To Kiss Her......

And though I have kissed her
A thousand times a day

I would want to make it millions
And continuous without delay

But she can only smile
Because each kiss is of the heart

And she knows that the kiss is endless
It was this way from the start

But in each little touch
The lips desire more

But what else would they desire
When each is unlike before

And within the deep embrace
The warmth is felt abound

And she must forever feel this
Even when I am not around

For distance is not a problem
Or something to cause a pain

For she knows the next kiss is coming
Again and again and again

Romantic Poem.....

A Summer Night to Remember........

Its another summer night
But I feel I have to set things right

I look into the night sky
And try to realize why I want to cry

Tonight is calm and clear
And I am thinking of someone dear

The stars are crisp and bright
I wonder if you are thinking of me tonight

As I gaze into the full moon
I hope to see your face soon

The fire flies float thru the air
I then realize how much I care

This is a summer night to remember
Because I know I love you now and forever

A Silly Little Wish....

I looked up.
I saw a shooting star,
I saw a shooting star in the dark sky.
I made a wish,
I made a wish to be with you.

I looked down.
I saw a penny,
I saw a penny on the gravel.
I made a wish,
I made a wish to be with you.

I looked to the right.
I saw birthday candles,
I saw birthday candles on a lavender cake.
I made a wish,
I made a wish to be with you.

I looked to the left.
I saw a dandelion,
I saw a dandelion on the lawn.
I made a wish,
I made a wish to be with you.

I look straight ahead.
I see you,
I see you right here in front of me.
I made a wish,
I made a wish and it came true.

Taurus..
