Subject: OT: Following Instructions

Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple were driving their perfect car (a Grand Caravan) along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident.

Only one of them survived the accident.

Who was the survivor? (Scroll down for the answer.)

.
. The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident.

By the way, if you're a woman and you're reading this, this illustrates another point: women never listen either. You were told to stop scrolling.

Top ten reasons why Trick or Treat is better than Sex....

10) You are guaranteed to get at least a little something in the sack.

9) If you get tired, you can wait 10 minutes and go at it again.

8) The uglier you look, the easier it is to get some.

7) You don't have to compliment the person who gives you some.

6) It's O.K. when the person you're with fantasizes you're someone else, because you are.

5) Forty years from now, you'll still enjoy candy.

4) If you don't like what you get, you can always go next door.

3) It doesn't matter if the kids hear you

2) Less guilt the morning after.

I saw this on another list - thought of you sickos:
yeah it has a twist....

------------
The woman entered the room, and with a knowing smile teasing her full lips, she sank into the comfort of the plush chair in the corner. The handsome stranger turned, having sensed her approach. Locking his steely gray eyes on hers, he moved slowly toward her, his experienced gaze measuring her, hypnotizing her with his soft murmurs of assurance. He sank to his knees before her and without a word, smoothly released her from her constraining attire. With a sigh of surrender, she allowed his foreign hands to unleash her bare flesh. He expertly guided her through this tender, new territory, boldly taking her to heights she had never dared to dream of, his movements deliberate, confident in his ability to satisfy her every need. Her senses swam. She was overcome with an aching desire that had gone unfulfilled for so long. And, just as it seemed that ecstasy was within her grasp, he paused, and for one heart-stopping moment, she thought, "It's too big! - it will never fit!" Then, with a sudden rush, it slid into place as if it had been made only for her. As pleasure and contentment washed over her, she met his steady gaze, tears of gratitude shining in her eyes. And he knew it wouldn't be long before she returned. Oh, yes, this woman would want more. She would want to do it again and again and again............

Then she cried out "I JUST LOVE SHOPPING FOR SHOES!!"

Some Halloween Humor:

A young preacher was contacted by the local funeral director to hold a grave-side committal service at a small local cemetery for someone with no family or friends.
The preacher started early but quickly got himself lost, making several wrong turns. He arrived a half-hour late, the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the workmen were eating lunch.
The pastor went to the open grave and found the vault lid already in place. Taking out his book, he read the service.
As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of the workmen say: "Think we should tell him it's a septic tank?"

Curiosity killed the blonde
Once not so long ago a young woman received her degree to cut hair and she opened her own shop. One of her first customers was a blonde woman wearing a walkman. The blonde told the young woman how she wanted her hair cut, but told her not to touch her head phones, then promptly went to sleep. The young woman was curious about the headphones, but finished cutting the blondes hair then woke her. The blonde was ecstatic she loved her haircut and paid for it and left.
About two weeks later she returned again her hair was cut, but again with the strange warning, 'don't touch my headphones. Well this continued for a couple of years until finally the young hairdresser could take no more and she removed the blondes headphones on day and................the blonde fell dead.
The hairdresser leaned over to listen to the message on the tape "Breath in, Breath out, Breath in....Breath out.

Mating Bull
A man takes his wife to the State Fair and one of the exhibits is that of breeding bulls. They come up to the first pen and there is a sign that says, "This Bull mated 50 times last year." The wife pokes her husband in the ribs and says,
"He mated 50 times last year." They walked a little further and see another pen with a sign that says "This Bull mated 120 times last year." The wife hits her husband and says,
"That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him." They walk further and a third pen has a Bull with a sign saying "This Bull mated 365 times last year."
The wife gets really excited and says,
"That's once a day" You could REALLY learn something from this one."

The question
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved by Arthur's youthful happiness. So he offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer. If, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be killed.
The question was: "What do women really want?"
Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. Well, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: The princess, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, the court jester....
In all, he spoke with everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. What most people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know the answer. The price would be high, since the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch.
She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to accept her price first: The old witch wanted guarantee that she would marry Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified: she was hunchbacked and awfully hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, often made obscene noises...
He had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden.
Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch gave the answer: "What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life." - Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it went. The neighboring monarch spared Arthur's life and granted him total freedom, and Gawain and the horrid ugly witch had quite a wedding!.. Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable. The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! Gawain was astounded and asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her, (when she'd been a witch), half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self, and the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self. Which would he want her to be during the day and which during the night?
What a cruel question? Gawain began to think of his predicament:
During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friend, but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate moments? What would you do?
Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her and had let her be in charge of her own life. What is the moral of this story? -- The moral of this story is that it doesn't matter if your woman is pretty or ugly, underneath it all, she's still a witch.

Try to remember that your wild spirit can lead to hurting yourself and others.

(18-26 points) You are ERNIE. You are fun, friendly, and popular. You are a real crowd pleaser. You have probably been out on the town your share of times, yet you come home with the values that your mother taught you. Marriage and children are important to you, but only after you have fun. Don't let the people you please influence you to stray.

So here's what happened-

I went to the domestic terminal to meet my daughter who had an overnight stopover. We were going to have dinner, and then I was going home.

We're having Christmas at her place in another state, so I brought along some pressies in a plastic bag, for her to take home with her on the plane, saving me postage or having to lug them up there myself. Some of them were stocking stuffers.

I had to put my bags on the conveyor belt and walk thru the metal detector thingie, which I did, and went over to collect the bags. there were three security officers there looking grim and one said too the others, "She's got guns"

Okay, so this is the end to the previous one, which was supposed to sit in the old outbox until I had finished it.

Anyway, after the guards discovered my 2 plastic $1.49 water pistols, they told me they had to confiscate them. I said they were water pistols, they said "They're guns to us, maam" (hate being called maam) I said they were Christmas presents, had they noticed the Santa Clauses on the wrapping paper they shredded while searching for the Uzi's?

Emily was with me, and having a fit because she had wrapped them. I asked them if they would hold them for me, while I went to meet my daughter, whose plane had landed by now. No they couldn't, the only guns they could hold were their own. So I went back out the gate, and asked a check-in attendant and he cared for them while I met up with Annie and suffered the suspicious looks of the guards who kept strolling by.

Lucky they didn't find the bath bombs! :)

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES COMPLETE GUIDE TO HISTORY (ABRIDGED)
-------------------------------------------------------

circa 4,000BCE - History begins with the invention of writing.
Actually, lots of stuff happened before this, but everyone was too busy to write it down. It would be nearly 6,000 years before that excuse came into fashion again.
3050BCE - An unknown Sumerian invents the wheel. Within a week, the idea is stolen and duplicated by other Sumerians, thereby establishing the business ethic for all time.
1850BCE - Ancient Britons finally get the rocks at Stonehenge arranged in a sufficiently meaningless pattern to confuse the hell out of everyone for centuries.
1785BCE - The first calendar, composed of a year with 354 days, is introduced by Babylonian scientists.
1768BCE - Babylonians realize their calendar needs adjustment when winter begins in June.
776BCE - The world's first known money appears in Persia, followed shortly by the world's first known counterfeit money. Human nature also hasn't changed much.
525BCE - The first Olympics are held, and prove remarkably similar to the modern games; Spartan pro athletes compete as "amateurs," the Egyptians try to enter a female shot-putter who is six feet tall and has a mustache, the Sumerians claim that the Philistine judges are unfairly against them and the games fail to make any money.
499BCE - Socrates condemned to death for "corrupting the youth of Athens," marking the first time politicians use this excuse to get rid of a popular philosopher.
410BCE - Rome ends the practice of throwing debtors into slavery, thus removing the biggest single obstacle to the development of the credit card.
214BCE - Tens of thousands of Chinese labor for a generation to build the 1,500 mile long Great Wall of China. After all that, it still doesn't keep the neighbor's dog out.
circa 35BCE - Jesus Christ is born a few years early, just to confuse all future historians.
1BCE - Calendar manufacturers find themselves in total disagreement over what to call next year.
79AD - Buying real estate in Pompeii turns out to have been a rotten investment.
410AD - End of the Roman Empire with the sacking of Rome. Little remembered now is that the Visigoths were just celebrating their victory in a soccer match in the traditional way when things got out of hand.
413AD - St. Patrick introduces Christianity to Ireland, giving the natives something interesting to fight about for the rest of recorded history.
500AD - The increasingly incorrectly named Middle Ages begin.
800AD - Vikings conduct raids across Northern Europe. This is the last winning team the Vikings will produce until they built a domed stadium in Minneapolis in the 1980s.
955AD - King Eadwig of England fails to show up for his own coronation. He was later found cavorting with a young lady and her mother, setting the high moral standard observed by British royalty to this day.
962AD - Otto the Great, from modern Germany, becomes the first Holy Roman Emperor, despite being neither Holy, Roman, nor having much of an empire.
1000 - Leif Ericsson discovers America, but decides it's not worth mentioning.
1004 - Lady Murasaki Shibuki invents the novel with "The Tale of Genji." There being no Oprah Book Club at the time, sales of the romance novel are poor.
1043 - Lady Godiva founds a tax protest movement. She also finds a means of demonstrating that makes everyone forget what she is protesting against.
1066 - William the Conqueror from Normandy invades England. It will be another 900 years before England figures out how to invade them back.
1095 - The First Crusade proves unsuccessful enough that it is followed by nine more.
1233 - The Inquisition is set up to torture and kill anyone who disagrees with Religious Law. The practice is so un-Christian that it is stopped after only 600 years.
1297 - The world's first stock exchange opens, but no one has the foresight to buy Xerox at .000005.
1340 - The Hundred Years War breaks out in Europe. Politicians being about as accurate then as now, it lasts for 123 years.
1400 - The Renaissance begins what is known as the age of reason and enlightenment. Considering how stupid and unreasonable things have been since then, the preceding time must have REALLY sucked.
1433 - Portugal launches the African slave trade, which proves what a small, ambitious country can do with a little ingenuity and a lot of evil.
1456 - An English judge reviews Joan of Arc's case and cancels her death sentence. A little late for Joanie though, as she was burned at the stake in 1431.
1492 - Columbus proves how lost he really is by landing in the Bahamas, naming the place San Salvador, wearing a Chinese silk robe to greet the natives and calling the people who live there Indians.
1497 - Amerigo Vespucci becomes about the eighth explorer to come to the New World, but the first to think of naming it after himself. Fortunately, the name Vespuccia never really catches on.
1508 - Michelangelo agrees to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but he still refuses to wash the windows.
1513 - Ponce de Leon claims he found the Fountain of youth. He dies of old age trying to remember where it was.
1568 - Saddened over the slander of his good name, Ivan the Terrible kills another 100,000 Russian peasants to make them stop calling him "Ivan the Terrible."
1607 - The Indians laugh themselves silly as the first European tourist to visit Virginia tries to register under the name "John Smith".
1618 - Countless future generations are doomed as the English execute Sir Walter Raleigh, but keep his tobacco plants alive.
1642 - Nine students receive the first Bachelor of Arts degrees conferred in America. They immediately fill all nine jobs open to liberal arts graduates resulting in unemployment for all future BAs.
1748 - War of Jenkin's Ear begins, later merged with the War of Austrian Succession. These are know collectively as the "Who Cares?" era.
1758 - New Jersey was chosen as the site of America's first Indian reservation, giving Indians an idea of the kind of shabby conditions they could expect from then on.
1770 - The shooting of three people in the Boston Massacre touches off the American Revolution. 200 Years later, three shootings in Boston will be about average for a Saturday night.
> 1773 - Colonists dump tea into Boston Harbor. British see the act as "barbaric" since no one thought to add cream.
1776 - American colonists declare their independence from England. Fortunately for the colonists, the Thirty Years War is going on in Europe, so England doesn't pay much attention.
1793 - Marie Antoinette and her husband Louie lose their heads and flee Paris in a panic just ahead of a mob at the start of the French Revolution. Later, they lose their heads in a far more literal sense.
1802 - Hard up for cash, Napoleon sells his American real estate holdings to the new United States for billions of dollars less than the appraised value. French restaurant owners have been trying to extract the lost money from American tourists ever since.
1815 - Post Office policy is established as Andrew Jackson wins the Battle of New Orleans two weeks after he should have received the letter saying the War of 1812 was over.
1828 - Construction of the first railroad begins in America. Congress withdraws funding when it fails to make an immediate profit.
1840 - William Henry Harrison is elected president in a landslide, his campaign motto, "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too" being so meaningless that no one could figure out how to disagree with it.
1850 - Henry Clay announces, "I'd rather be right than president," which gets quite a laugh, coming from a guy who ran for president five times and never won.
1865 - Union Soldiers face their greatest challenge of the Civil War: getting General Grant sober enough to accept Lee's surrender.
1869 - Completion of the Transcontinental railway means that travellers can journey by rail from New York to San Francisco in only eight days - just about what it takes on AMTRAK now.
1871 - Charles Darwin writes "Descent of Man". It has the same general plot as "Planet of the Apes", but fails to make as much money.
1876 - Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone, and, quite accidentally, telemarketing.
1882 - Edison invents the practical electric light. The first erroneous billing by ConEd follows almost immediately.
1883 - Brooklyn Bridge opens in New York, allowing people to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn faster than most people want to get there.
1887 - First electric streetcars operate in Richmond Virginia.
Critics immediately condemn the impracticality and expense of using city streets for light rail.
1896 - Henry Ford builds his first automobile. After this, he builds a few more. This marks the last time anyone can find a parking spot in downtown Detroit. Or, wants to.
1902 - The Wright Brothers become the last air travellers to suffer neither flight delays nor lost luggage.
1912 - People holding tickets from New York to England on the Titanic get their money back.
1914-18 - Those fighting in the Great War call it the "War to end all wars." This proves about as accurate as calling the first act of Hamlet the play to end all plays.
1920 - The 18th Amendment to the Constitution makes drinking alcohol illegal in the U.S., so everyone stops - except for the 40 million, or so, who drink more.
1921 - Warren G. Harding becomes president, forever insuring that no future president could ever be the stupidest man to hold the office.
1924 - Adolph Hitler is released from prison four years early, after convincing the parole board that he was a changed man who wouldn't cause any more trouble.
1929 - The stock market crashed, resulting in financial ruin, massive unemployment and eventually, war. Who says things change?
1933 - Nazi rule begins as German homeowners begin to realize why that crazy paper hanger with the mustache never came back to finish his work.
1938 - Great Britain and Germany sign a peace treaty, thereby averting all possibility of a second world war - for about a year.
1945 - Hitler's Nazi regime in Germany falls, thankfully ending the Thousand Year Reich 988 years early.
1945 - Atomic bomb dropped on Japan, ending World War II. After many millennia of unsuccessful attempts, human beings finally achieve the ability to accidentally destroy themselves in a few milliseconds.
1945 - now - Pretty boring - US invades Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan ... Microsoft, New Coke, Hula Hoops, Kennedy, Data Processing, Supertankers, International House of Pancakes, Moonies, Moon Landing, Moon Pies, War on Drugs, Nixon, Carter, Johnson, Gerald Somebody, Bush, Clinton, another Bush, CNN, Disney World, Y2K...
Someday, someone will figure out what this all meant.
Too late to be of any real use to us, of course.
