A construction worker on the 3rd floor of a building needs a handsaw. He sees another man on the 1st floor. He yells down to him, but he can't hear, so he does sign language. To do sign language, the man on the 3rd floor points at his eye meaning "I," points at his knee meaning "need," and moves his hand back and forth in a handsaw motion. The man on the 1st floor nods his head, pulls down his pants, and starts masturbating. The man on the 3rd floor gets so angry he runs down to the 1st floor and says,"What the fuck is wrong with you, dumbass? I said I need hand saw!" The other guy says," I knew that, I was just trying to tell you I'm coming."

>>I think I've just found the kernel of wisdom in your post. If homosexual groups >>have drawn the same conclusion as Falwell they too deserve equal criticism >>for tainting a kids' show with their own agenda. On that issue we certainly >>agree. I've gotta agree with this one. The homosexual groups have taken something innocent and claimed it for their own purposes. Falwell has sealed this by not only pointing it out (which is not so bad), but blaming the object. This emblazons it now in the minds uf us observers and basically ruins it for us. As a Christian myself, I hate it when people have agendas like this, which is clearly political and not what Christianity really is about (reconciling sinners to God). =========== OK, a joke. There's a stupid ad for some medical product, which says "In clinical trials, the most common side effect was headache". A curiously evasive and meaningless statement. The moment I heard it, I immediately realized that the lab results must have looked something like this: Side effect Incidence ----------- --------- Headache 99% Massive brain hemorrhage 98% Malignant cancer of the genitals 92% Tertiary syphilis 85% Windows NT 76% Smallpox 40% Death of one kidney 33% Explosive cranial dispersal 20% Total body ionization 11% So beware.

Jerry and Tinky Winky I'm sure ONLY the creator knows the truth. Reminds me about the art critics discussing Wood's (I think it's him) painting "American Gothic" and trying to find hidden meaning(s). They became convinced that the three prongs of the pitchfork represented the Trinity. When Wood was interviewed, he was asked about this symbolism. Wood said that while painting the picture, the man was uncomfortable with his hands empty so he went into the barn to get him something to hold. The three pronged pitchfork was the closest object to the door. Have a great week, PW. P.S. I posted this without double checking the painter's name. "American Gothic" is well known and if I attributed it wrongly, please let me know. PW.
