Due to all the lawsuits in the news these days.
Dedicated to certain atheists who seem determined to make us look like we're insane by filing stupid lawsuit after lawsuit over the dumbest things, Take it from an agnostic, guys relax already,


An aetheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the
bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.

He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up
but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Aetheist cried out: "Oh my God!..." Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky:
"You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't
exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?
Am I to count you as a believer?"

The aetheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical
of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps
could you make the BEAR a Christian?"

"Very well," said the voice.

The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:

"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord Amen."

Bill Clinton voodoo commercial
Fife and Drum
Hillary Clinton was spending the morning at a primary school in
Ithaca, New York to talk to the children about her job as a US Senator.

After her talk, she offered question time. One little boy puts up
his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.

"Kenneth."

"And what is your question, Kenneth?"

"I have three questions:
First - Whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second - Why would you run for President after your husband shamed
the office?
And third - Whatever happened to all the stuff you and President
Clinton took when you left the White House?"

Just then the bell rang for recess.

Hillary Clinton informed the kids that they would continue after
recess.

When they resumed, Hillary said, "Okay, where were we? Oh, that's
right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy raised his hand; the esteemed Senator from
New York pointed him out and asked him what his name is.

"Larry."

"And what is your question?"

"I have five questions:
First - Whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second - Why would you run for President after your husband shamed
the office?
Third - Whatever happened to all the stuff you and President
Clinton took when you left the White House?
Fourth - Why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
And fifth - What happened to Kenneth?"

Out The Window

Al Gore and the Clintons are flying on Air Force One. Bill looks at Al, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a $10,000 bill out the window right now and make one person very happy."
Al shrugs his stiff shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $1,000 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy".

Hillary tosses her perfectly sprayed hair and says, "Of course, then, I could throw one-hundred $100 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."

Chelsea rolls her eyes, looks at all of them and says, "I could throw all of you out the window and make the whole country happy." laugh.gif

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "But how did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You've made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect ME to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now, it's MY fault.

During his normal duties as Gate Guard for the White House, a Marine was approached by an old gentleman, wearing a weathered and worm Marine Corp uniform. The old man approached the guard and said, "I'd like to go in and speak with President Kerry." The Marine Guard replied, "I'm sorry sir, but Mr. Kerry is not the President, George Bush is." The old man thanked the guard and left.

The next day the same old man approached the same Marine Guard and said, "I'd like to go inside and speak with President Kerry." The Marine guard replied again, "Sir, the President of the United States is George Bush. John Kerry is a Senator, not the President." Again, the old man thanked the Marine Guard and left.

The next day, at the same time, the same old man, in the same worn uniform approached the White House gate and addressed the same guard. "I'd like to go inside and speak to President Kerry." At this point, the Marine Guard said forcefully to the old man, "Sir, I told you yesterday, and I told you the day before, George Bush is the President of the United States. John Kerry is *NOT* the President. Don't you understand that?" The old Marine looked at the young Marine and said, "Of course I understand. I just like hearing you say it."

The Marine Guard snapped to attention, saluted the old Marine and said, "See you tomorrow, sir!"

Dear Friends:

I have the distinguished honor of being named to the committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument to George W. Bush. I am contacting you in hopes you will be willing to contribute to this noble cause. But first, a little about what the committee has been doing to date.

We originally wanted to put him on Mount Rushmore until we discovered that there was not enough room for two more faces.

We then decided to erect a statue of George in the Washington, DC Hall of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Richard Nixon, who never told the truth, since George could never tell the difference.

We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest republican of all. He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, decimated the well-being of the majority of the population while he was there, and did it all on someone else's money.

Thank you.

George W. Bush Monument Committee

The Committee has raised $1.35 so far; so please be generous.

In their day, both Albert Einstein and will Rogers were much revered and often recommended by their admirers for president of the United States. Einstein said his worst mistake was saying there should be a special new term added to his General Theory of Relativity equations of gravitation. What would Will Rogers have said his greatest mistake was?

Answer: It would have been his saying "All I know is what I read in the newspapers!"

This isn't political, but I thought it was so funny, I had to share it. biggrin.gif

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following
characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........ Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to
pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and
reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply
accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut
down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times
as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by
a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to
let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed
hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all
over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

How do you read a "political" newspaper?

Answer 1: From back to front and fine print to bold print. That's the only route to reliable truth!

Answer 2: The same way you read the funny papers.

Seems that former President William J. Clinton has been seen with Italian supermodel, Aprile Pazzo, on several occasions. When asked about the relationship, former President Clinton responded:

"What I did in the White House wasn't so wrong, and if I had a chance to do it again, it'd be with Aprile and not in the same place, and she wouldn't be wearing a blue dress."

Ms. Pazzo responded in Itallian, which loosely translates to: "Blue is not my color, and who wears clothes while having sex anyway? Is that an American thing or what? Do you shower that way? What is wrong with you people?"

Aprile Pazzo!

This is the last warning to keep the jokes clean.

Now is a good time to remind everyone to read the Rules. Please pay close attention to the part that says:

III. The use of profanity at any time. This includes profanity look-alikes and intentionally using the banned words filter. If it would not be said on the evening news, it should not be posted on the forum. If a candidate in a presidential debate would not say it, it should not be posted on the forum.

IV. Inappropriate sexual references or terminology. Sexual acts/body parts are to be referred to by their scientific/medical names.

As the topic title states, all jokes must be CLEAN, and the next non-clean joke posted will result in the permanent closing of ALL political joke topics.

Thanks,

What's the most distorted typo or misquote of any recent public persons?

It was Hillary's answer to the question (e.g. book Hell to Pay), "What do you most want to do?, which was, "I want to run something". It should have been "I want to ruin something."
