Ok, I finally got a foward worth something: ...

:lol:

Love the one where the guy's told all his answers must be oral. Uh-hem.

Reminds me of the joke about the guy who calls 911 and says his hunting buddy's dead. The operator says, "Stay calm, first, make sure he's dead." She hears a gunshot, then "OK, he's dead, now what?"
