this one made my evening.
A lot of times when they catch a guy who killed twenty-seven people, they say, "He was a loner." Well, of course he was a loner; he killed everyone he came in contact with George Carlin
I loves George Carli! Have all his records and even some of his books on cd, and videos...:)\One of my favourites is " One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor." Oh how wonderful it was though! :D
" Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong." " When you think about it, attention deficit disorder makes a lot of sense. In this country, there isn't a lot worth paying attention to." " Electricity is really just organized lightning." :D
Everybody wants you to "have a nice day". That's the troublewith "have a nice day"----it puts allthe pressure on you. Now you've got to go out and somehow, have a good time---all because of some loose-lipped cashier." Carlin Have a nice day, y'awll!! :D

A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.
Things like 'chalk' or 'pencil,' she described, would have a gender association although in English these words were neutral. Puzzled, one student raised his hand and asked, "What gender is a computer?"
The teacher wasn't certain which it was,and so divided the class into two groups and asked them to decide if a computer should be masculine or feminine. One group was comprised of the women in the class, and the other, of men. Both groups were asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to in masculine gender because: 1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time they ARE the problem. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be referred to in the feminine gender because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic. 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. 3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval. 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories.

A famous heart specialist doctor died and everyone was gathered at his funeral. A regular coffin was displayed in front of a huge heart.
When the minister finished with the sermon and after everyone said their good-byes, the heart was opened, the coffin rolled inside, and the heart closed.
Just at that moment one of the mourners started laughing. The guy next to him asked: "Why are you laughing?"
"I was thinking about my own funeral" the man replied. "What's so funny about that?"
