  1. A contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" had reached the final plateau. If

    she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered

    incorrectly, she would pocket only the $32,000 milestone money.

    And as she suspected it would be, the million-dollar question was no pushover. It

    was: "Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest, but instead

    lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it A) the condor; B) the buzzard; C) the

    cuckoo; or D) the vulture?"

    The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. And she was doubly on

    the spot because she had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Audience Poll Lifeline.

    All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline, and the woman had hoped

    against hope that she would not have to use it. Mainly because the only friend that

    she knew would be home happened to be a blonde. But the contestant had no

    alternative. She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.

    The blonde responded unhesitatingly: "That's easy. The answer is : The cuckoo."

    The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing

    a reverse strategy and giving Regis any answer except the one that her friend had

    given her. And considering that her friend was a blonde, that would seem to be the

    logical thing to do On the other hand - the blonde had responded with such

    confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be persuaded.

    "I need an answer," said Regis.

    Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The cuckoo."

    "Is that your final answer?" asked Regis.

    "Yes, that is my final answer."

    Two minutes later, Regis said, "I regret to inform you that that answer is... absolutely

    correct. You are now a millionaire!"

    Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends - including

    the blonde who had helped her win the million dollars. "Jenny, I just do not know how

    to thank you," said the contestant "Because of your knowing the answer to that final

    question, I am now a millionaire.

    And do you want to know something? It was the assuredness with which you

    answered the question that convinced me to go with your choice. By the way... how

    did you happen to know the right answer?"

    "Oh, come on," said the blonde. "Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests.

    They live in clocks."

  2. Paul, a guy on the local beach, just couldn't make it with any of the girls, so he

    heads over to the lifeguard tower to see if the lifeguard has any advice for him.

    "Dude, it's obvious," says the lifeguard, "you're wearing them baggy old

    swimming trunks that make you look like an old geezer. They're years outta

    style. Your best bet is to grab yourself a pair of Spandex Speedos - about two

    sizes too small - and drop a fist-sized potato down inside 'em. I'm tellin' you

    man... you'll have all the babes you want!"

    The following weekend, Paul hits the beach with his spanking new tight

    Speedos, and his fist-sized potato and it's worse than before. Everybody on

    the beach acts disgusted as he walks by, covering their faces,

    turning away, laughing, looking sick!

    So Paul goes back to the lifeguard again and asks him, "What's wrong now?"

    "CHEESUS!" says the lifeguard, "The potato goes in front!"

  3. An American touring Spain stopped at a local restaurant following a day of

    sightseeing. While sipping his sangria, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious

    looking platter, being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the

    smell was wonderful.

    He asked the waiter, "What is that you just served?"

    The waiter replied, "Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are bull's testicles

    from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!"

    The American, though momentarily daunted, said, "What the hell, I'm on vacation!

    Bring me an order!"

    The waiter replied, "I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day

    because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early tomorrow

    and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy!"

    The next morning, the American returned, placed his order, and then that evening

    he was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.

    After a few bites, and inspecting the contents of his platter, he called to the waiter

    and said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I

    saw you serve yesterday!"

    The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Si senor. Sometimes the bull wins."

  4. A blind man makes his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there

    for awhile, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The

    bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very

    deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, before

    you tell that joke, sir, I think it is only fair

    ....given that you are blind, that you should know five

    things:

    1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball

    bat.

    2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

    3. I'm a 6 foot tall, 175 lb. blonde woman with a

    black belt in karate.

    4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a

    professional weightlifter.

    5. The lady to your right is blonde and a

    professional wrestler.

    Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still

    wanna tell that joke?" The blind man thinks for a

    second, shakes his head, and mutters, "Nah...not if

    I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

  5. A professor at Texas A & M University was giving a lecture of the

    supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people

    here believe in ghosts?"

    About 90 students raise their hands.

    Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do

    any of you think you have seen a ghost?"

    About 40 students raise their hands.

    That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone

    here ever talked to a ghost?"

    About 15 students raise their hand.

    Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?"

    3 students raise their hands.

    "That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of

    you ever made love to a ghost?"

    Way in the back, Bubba raises his hand. The professor takes off his

    glasses, and says "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has

    ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and

    tell us about your experience."

    The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make

    his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the

    professor asks, "So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?"

    Bubba replied, "Shiiiit! From way back thar I'da sworn you said "Goats."

  7. After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys

    to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight, that

    need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then

    respond in writing, on the lower half of the form, what remedial action was taken.

    Then the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.

    Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor!

    Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems, as submitted by

    Qantas pilots, and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers.

    (P = the problem logged by the pilot.)

    (S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.)

  8. Little Tim was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence.

    Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, "What are

    you up to there, Tim?"

    "My goldfish died," replied Tim tearfully, without looking up, "and I've just buried him."

    The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"

    Tim patted down the last heap of earth then replied, "That's because he's inside

    your damn cat."

  9. To the optimist, the glass is half full.

    To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

    What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?

    Mechanical Engineers build weapons

    "Normal" people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    enough features yet"

    An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing

    whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress.

    The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building

    a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.

    The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because

    the passion and mystery he found there.

    The engineer said, "I like both."

    "Both?"

    "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume

    you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go

    to the lab and get some work done."

    An engineer was crossing a road one-day when a frog called

    out to him and said,

    "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

    He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

    The frog spoke up again and said,

    "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess,

    I will stay with you for one week."

    The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and

    returned it to the pocket.

    The frog then cried out,

    "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with

    you and do ANYTHING you want."

    Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it

    back into his pocket.

    Finally, the frog asked,

    "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and

    that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why

    won't you kiss me?"

    The engineer said,

    "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a

    talking frog, now that's cool."

  10. FEMALE PRAYER:

    Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man, who's not a creep,

    One who's handsome, smart and strong,

    One who loves to listen long,

    One who thinks before he speaks,

    One who'll call, not wait for weeks.

    I pray he's gainfully employed,

    When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.

    Pulls out my chair and opens my door,

    Massages my back and begs to do more.

    Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,

    And knows the answer to "How big is my behind?"

    I pray that this man will love me to no end,

    And always be my very best friend.

    Amen.

    I pray for a blind-deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns

    a liquor store, and a bass boat.

    Amen

  11. I thought I'd seen that one before.

    After going through some of my jokes I found it.

    It was part of a 4 question test with a bonus question.

    That was the bonus question.

    Here's the first 4 questions of the test:

  12. I have several Notepad documents that I keep my links, and canned speechs in.

    If you want a link to work, you have to save the link coded, using BB Code (or whatever code other boards use).

    This,

    [URL=http://www.besttechie.net/]Besttechie[/URL]

    , best site on the net.

    will give you this (when copied and pasted from Notepad):

    Besttechie, best site on the net.

    Just put in the URL, and the name/text, you want to use.

    This,

    [URL=http://www.besttechie.net/][COLOR=red][SIZE=5][B]Besttechie[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR][/URL]

    , best site on the net.

    will give you this:

    Besttechie, best site on the net.

    I think, this is what you were talking about.

  13. ...... is there a recovery thing on Adaware? I know there is on Spybot.

    The only "restore" feature that I know of, in Ad-aware, is the Quarantine feature, which is what I use.

    Instead of clicking Next, to have it fix the problems, click the Quarantine button.

    I usually keep them in Quarantine for about 2 weeks.

    If I don't have any problems, I delete them.

    If you do have problems, you can restore them, scan again, then Quarantine the ones you know aren't required.
