		Groaner 
		Mick was raised in the country, and loved nothing  better than going along to country shows and fairs and field days and  looking at tractors. Shiny new tractors, lovingly-restored old tractors,  big serious tractors, little toy tractors.  
 
 But best of all he loved seeing them in action, and his favourite  tractor action was the tractor pull. He would always get as close as he  could, way closer than he was supposed to, and was constantly getting  chased back to a safe distance by organisers worried about their public  liability insurance premiums.
 
 One day, he hit on the bright idea of stealing an officials vest, and  was able to get as close as he liked. Unfortunately that was the day a  chain snapped, and as it whipped free Mick copped it right in the chest.  Five broken ribs and a painful convalescence later, Mick moved to the  big city, vowing never to so much as look at a tractor again.
 
 In the city he had to learn new ways, like going to a disco to meet  girls. He found them rather noisy and claustrophic, but there were girls  there, so he went.
 
 One night at the disco he was getting on well with a particularly  charming young lass when a fire broke out. The place was jam-packed, so  it was hard to move, and the smoke was thick, so it was impossible to  see where the exit was. The crowd was in a panic, and his companion was  hysterical "We're all going to die!" she wailed, over and over.
 
 Mick began to draw his breath in, and smoke swirled into his lungs. He  sucked harder, throwing back his arms and pursing his lips. Smoke was  pouring into his mouth now, and some of the people closer to the exit  could now see the exit sign glowing eerily green through the thinning  smoke. Still Mick sucked, and the crowd began finding their way out,  clambering through the now rapidly-clearing smoke toward the exit. Three  minutes had passed, and still Mick was drawing in the smoke, as the  last person staggered out into the clear air and safety.
 
 Finally, Mick stopped sucking, and ran out himself, before letting out a  huge rush of smoke to the night sky as the firefighters, who had now  arrived, ran in with hoses to put out the fire.
 
 "That was incredible!" his lady friend enthused, as people gathered to  clap Mick on the back and thank him for saving their lives, "How on  earth did you manage to do that?!"
 
 "Aw, it was nothing", mumbled Mick, feeling a bit uncomfortable with all the attention, "I'm an ex-tractor fan"
 
 BOOM-TISH!

 Gonorrhea Lectim - New Deadly Disease
 
 One should be thinking about this seriously. The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease.
 
 The disease is called "Gonorrhea Lectim". It's pronounced “Gonna re-elect em" and it is a terrible and deadly ailment.
 The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk Behaviour involving putting your cranium up your rectum.
 
 Many victims contracted it in 2007. But now most people, after having been infected for the past few years, are starting to realize how destructive this
 sickness is. It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout.
 
 Most people in Queensland took the first dose a couple of months ago but the second dose is due late next year

		The Reverend John Fluff was the pastor in a small town in Scotland. One
 day he was walking down the high street when he noticed a young lady of his
 congregation sitting in a pub drinking beer.
 
 The Reverend wasn't happy. He walked through the open door of the pub &
 sat down next to the woman.
 
 "Miss MacDonald," he said sternly. "This is no place for a member of my
 congregation. Why don't you let me take you home."
 
 "Sure," she said with a slur, obviously very drunk.
 
 When Miss MacDonald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back &
 forth. The Reverend realized that she'd had far too much to drink & grabbed her
 arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance & tumbled to the
 floor. After rolling around for a few moments, the Reverend wound up on top of
 Miss MacDonald, her skirt hiked up to her waist.
 
 The pub landlord looked over & said, "Oy mate, we won't have any of that
 carrying on in this pub."
 
 The Reverend looked up at the landlord & said, "But you don't
 understand, I'm Pastor Fluff."
 
 The landlord nodded & said, "Ah well, if you're that far in, ye might as
 well finish."

		The Black Bra (as told by a woman)
 
 I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been married for 20+ years.
 
 We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by greeting them at the door wearing a black bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.
 
 Here's how it all went.
 
 My engaged friend:
 The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me an! d said, 'You are the woman of my dreams. I love you.' Then we made passionate love all night long.
 
 The mistress:
 Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing a raincoat, under it only the black bra, heels and mask over my eyes. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but he started to tremble and we had wild sex all night.
 
 Then I had to share my story:
 When my husband came home I was wearing the black bra,
 black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. When he came in the door and saw me he said,
 (you are going to love this)
 
 
 
 
 
 "What's for dinner, Zorro?"

		PARAPROSDOKIANS 
		Paraprosdokians (Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous.
 
 1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
 
 2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on my list.
 
 3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
 
 4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
 
 5. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.
 
 6. War does not determine who is right--only who is left.
 
 7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
 
 8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
 
 9. I didn't say it was your fault; I said I was blaming you.
 
 10. In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of emergency, notify:" I put 'DOCTOR.'
 
 12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You need a parachute only to skydive twice.
 14. To be certain of hitting a target, shoot first, then call whatever you hit "the target."
 
 15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
 
 16. You're never too old to learn something stupid.
 
 17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but its getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

		Elton John and his partner David Furnish had their sperm mixed together and a surrogate mother was artificially inseminated. 
 
 After the baby was born, Elton and David were ushered into the maternity ward.
 
 A dozen babies were lying in their cribs. Eleven of them were crying and screaming.
 
 In the corner, one baby was lying quietly, smiling.
 
 A nurse came over to both of them and indicated that the happy child was theirs.
 
 "Isn't it wonderful?", Elton asked David. "All these crying babies...and yet our baby is so content. This just proves the superiority of gay love!"
 
 The nurse said, "Oh sure, he's happy now, but just watch what happens when I pull the pacifier out of his arse...."
