Two old drunks were lapping them up at a bar. The first one says "Ya know, when I was 30 and got a hard-on, I couldn't bend it with both hands. By the time I was 40, I could bend it about 10 degrees if I tried really hard. "By the time I was 50, I could bend it about 20 degrees, no problem. I'm gonna be 60 next week, and now I can almost bend it in half with just one hand". "So" says the second drunk "What's your point?" "Well" says the first "I'm just wondering how much stronger I'm gonna get!"

Ok.... and this is one of my all time favourite jokes of all time......
This is a bricklayer's report, which was printed in the newsletter of the Australian equivalent of the Workers' Compensation Board. This is a true story. Had this guy died, he'd have received a Darwin Award for sure...
Dear Sir, I am writing in response to your request for additional information.
In Block 3 of the accident report form. I put "poor planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details be sufficient.
I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found that I had some bricks left over which, when weighed later were found to be slightly in excess of 500 lbs.
Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building on the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow descent of the bricks.
You will note in Block 11 of the accident report form that I weigh 135 lbs. Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel, which was now proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explained the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collar bone, as listed in section 3 of the accident report form.
Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of beginning to experience pain.
At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks (that barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs) I refer you again to my weight. As you can imagine, I began a rapid descent, down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and several lacerations of my legs and lower body.
Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked.
I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain unable to move, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the empty barrel begin its journey back down onto me. This explains the two broken legs.
I hope this answers your inquiry.

An Army guy is sitting at a bar wearing a shirt that says "Marines suck".
Sure enough, two marines walk up.
One of the Marines says, "WHAT DOES THAT SHIRT SAY!?!?!?!"
So the Army guy responds, "thats the first thing I hate about Marines, they cant read."
The other Marine growles, "What did you say!?!"
The Army guy responds, "Thats the second thing I hate about Marines, they cant hear."
Then the first Marine demands that they take this outside.
Two minutes later the Army guy walks back into the bar unharmed. The bartender askes what happened to the two Marines.
The army guy responds, "Thats the third thing I hate about Marines, they bring knives to gunfights."

Game Review of Chess
The latest offering in the rapidly overflowing strategy genre is hard evidence that strategy games need a real overhaul, and fast. Chess, a small-scale tactical turn-based strategy game, attempts to adopt the age-old "easy to learn, difficult to master" parameter made popular by Tetris. But the game's cumbersome play mechanics and superficial depth and detail all add up to a game that won't keep you busy for long.
Chess casts you as king of a small country at war with a rival country of equivalent military power. There is little background story to speak of, and by and large the units in the game are utterly lacking any character whatsoever. The faceless, nondescript units are dubbed arbitrarily such labels as "Knight" and "Bishop" while their appearance reveals nothing to suggest these roles. To make matters worse, the units on both playable sides are entirely identical aside from a simple color palette swap.
The setting of the conflict is equally uninspiring and consists merely of a two-color grid so as to represent the two warring factions. Adding insult to injury, there is only one available map - and it's pathetically small, an 8x8 matrix (Red Alert maps are up to 128x128 in size). The lack of more expansive battlefields makes Chess feel like little more than an over-glorified Minesweeper.
In a definite nod to Tetris, Chess eschews any kind of personality and styling in order to emphasize its supposedly addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, that gameplay is severely lacking. For one thing, there are only six units in the game. Of those six, two are practically worthless while one is an overpowered "god" unit, the Queen. She's your typical Lara Croft-esque 1990s "me, too" attempt to attract the fabled gaming girl audience from out of the woodwork to help solidify a customer base for a game that simply cannot sell itself on its own merits. The Queen can attack in any direction and she is balanced solely by the fact that both sides are equally equipped with only one. Otherwise, the functions of the six Chess units feel entirely arbitrary. For instance, Rooks can only move in horizontal lines, unable to attack enemies at diagonal angles; yet Bishops can move diagonally, but not horizontally.
The result is a frustratingly unrealistic effort at creating balance and strategy where there is, in fact, very little of either element to be found. Inexplicable pathing problems also plague Chess - the irritating Pawns can only move straight ahead, but for some reason or other they attack diagonally. Worst of all, your units are always deployed in exactly the same fashion. While there might have been some strategic element involved in cleverly deploying one's troops around the undeniably constricted map, the designers saw fit to enforce a "rule" about how the game should be set up. In the end, Chess matches may often go on for a great length of time because your Pawns always begin in front of your more useful forces, thereby blocking them off.
Only two players can compete simultaneously, thus severely limiting any play life to be found. There is only one gameplay mode - no capture the flag or team play - and that involves the two players taking turns moving their units one by one. The moment a player's King is threatened, that player is placed in a state of "check." At this point, the player must defend his King with whatever means are available. If he cannot defend his King, he is defeated. Yawn. All units are killed by a single hit, so even a lowly Pawn can be instrumental in defeating an opponent if you plan accordingly. While the artificial balance of forcing equivalent deployment for both sides turns Chess into something of a battle of wits, the turn-based play is poorly paced and never really picks up speed until halfway through a game, if then. And half the time, because of the limited troops available (and no resources with which to purchase more), matches end in disappointing stalemates.
This game attempts to accredit itself by virtue of its tactical play mechanics. Yet those mechanics are tedious and difficult to grasp and exacerbate Chess's other numerous failings. In fact, should you actually memorize all the infuriating little rules governing how the game is played, you'll find yourself growing weary of it all in short order. There's just no payoff to a properly executed game, because the restrictions on the units mean there's a "right" way to play. Thus no real variety can exist between competent players. The sluggish turn-based nature of Chess bogs the package still further and renders this strategy game an irreverent exercise in wasted time for all but the most die-hard turn-based strategy enthusiasts. It's more than likely that Chess, due to its self-conscious though not entirely elegant simplicity, will garner a small handful of fans. But in light of this game's boundless oversights and limitations, there is no chance it could ever enjoy the sort of success that makes games like Westwood's C&C: Red Alert and Blizzard's Warcraft II the classics they are to this day.

A couple was watching a documentary on the Discovery Channel about an African tribe whose men all had penises 24 inches long. When males reach a certain age, a string is tied around their penises and a weight is attached to the other end. After a while, the weight stretches the length of the penis to 24 inches. Later that evening as the husband was getting out of the shower, his wife looked down at him and said "Whadaya say we try that African string-and-weight procedure?" Her husband agreed and they tied and string and weight to his penis. A few days later, the wife asked the husband "How is our tribal experiment coming?" "Well, it looks like we're half-way there" he replied. "You've grown to 12 inches??" she said, astonished. "No. It's turned black" he answered.

A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.
"Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?" "Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature".
The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said "It looks like you have seen a lot of action". "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action".
The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation said "You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself". The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.
Finally the young lady said "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?" "1955, ma'am".
"Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to 'relax' him.
Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his chest and said "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955". The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch "I hope not; it's only 2130 now".

An Indian and a Chinese entered a chocolate store. As they were busy looking, the Chinese stole three chocolate bars. As they left the store, the Chinese said to the Indian "Man I'm the best thief, I stole three chocolates and no one saw me. You can't beat that!"
The Indian replied "You want to see something better? Let's go back to the shop and I'll show you real stealing".
So they went to the counter and the Indian said to the shopkeeper "Do you want to see magic?" The shopkeeper replied "Yes". The Indian said "Give me one chocolate bar". The shopkeeper gave him one and he ate it. The Indian asked for a second bar and he ate that as well. He asked for the third, and finished that one too.
The shopkeeper asked: "But where's the magic?" The Indian replied "Check in my friend's pocket, and you'll find all three bars of chocolate".

The Riffraff in (XX:XX) - posted in the war forums....
On the fourth leg of an all South America trek, an American, a Norwegian, and a Japanese were captured by a tribe of head hunters. Quickly, their weapons, their clothes, and their other belongings were stripped and the three men were tied hand and foot in front of a boiling pot of water.
"Gentlemen," said the tribes leader, a naked man with a stick in his lips and a full body mud tattoo. "Welcome to your last day on this earth! As you no doubt know, we are headhunters and cannibals- savages as you no doubt call us."
He paced up and down before the three men, pulling at the stick. "But, we are not savages as you suppose. No, we are sophisticates. Your skin we will use for our canoes, your bones for our tools, and your flesh for our meat. We mean no disrespect."
"In fact," he added with a wag of his balls, "we mean to grant you a final wish- you may choose how you die. Name any weapon, any at all and my men will do their best to procure it for you."
The three prisoners conferred, necessarily taking longer than necessary. Their lives they wished to prolong.
"Gentlemen," said the leader again, grandiosely waving his well-muscled arms. As he spoke, the muscles of his arms writhes angrily. The three prisoners could not tell if it was the muscles, or if it was the tattoos. They gulped their last gulps.
With that, the leader stepped lightly up to the American. "The time has come. Make your choice and say goodbye to this world. Remember that we are sophisticates, that we will use your skin for our canoes, your bones for our tools, and your flesh for our meat. We mean no disrespect."
"Give me an M16," said the American.
After a few seconds' deliberation, three small boys wearing crocodile heads marched out with a freshly polished M16. They leaned it up against the American and looped his toe in the trigger guard.
"Any last words," asked the leader with a wag of his balls.
"God bless America!" yelled the American with a click of his toes. Blam! His head went clean off. The camp is showered red and white. The Norwegian and Japanese turn blue.
Similarly, the leader approached the Japanese man. "And what shall it be for you? Remember that we are sophisticates, that we will use your skin for our canoes, your bones for our tools, and your flesh for our meat. We mean no disrespect."
"A samurai sword."
The leader nodded. Out came the three boys again. Carefully, they loosed the Japanese man's ropes just enough and propped him, throat-first, against the sword. Between the thumb and baby finger of his left hand they placed a small fishing knife.
With a tug of the knife, the Japanese yelled: "Banzai!" and slid, throat first, to the hilt. Its many-times folded blade dripped red.
Impressed with their bravery, the tribe leader clapped. Finally, he came to the Norwegian, and bowed. "What shall it be for you dear sir?"
"Give me a fork," said the Norwegian. "And I want to be free to do it myself."
The leader squinted and pulled at his distended lip. "As we are sophisticates, we will honour your request. Your skin we will use for our canoes, your bones for our tools, and your flesh for our meat. We mean no disrespect."
"Yeah," said the Norwegian, "**** you and your canoes!"
With that, he took the fork and plunged it again and again into his body, yelling fainter and fainter all the time, "Screw your canoe!"

A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in-law! One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the Mrs awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother. The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her. The wife said "What are we going to do?" "Nothing" said the hunter husband "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it".
