    Guy's sitting in his chair watching tv and the doorbell rings. He answers the door and looks around but doesn't see anyone. He looks down and sees a snail on his welcome mat, picks it up and hurls it across the street.

    Ten years later, the same guy's sitting there watching tv when the doorbell rings. He walks over, answers the door, looks around and doesn't see anyone. He looks down and see a snail on his welcome mat. The snail looks up and says, "Hey! What the Hell was that all about?"

    from another person: (not my joke)

    A first-grade teacher, Ms Brooks was having trouble with one of her students.

    The teacher asked, "Harry what is your problem?" Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third -grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"

    Ms Brooks had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office.

    While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.

    The principal told Ms Brooks he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.

    She agreed.

    Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

    Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

    Harry: "9".

    Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

    Harry: "36".

    And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know.

    The principal looks at Ms Brooks and tells her, "I think Harry can go to the third-grade."

    Ms Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?" The principal and Harry both agree.

    Ms Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?

    "Harry, after a moment "Legs."

    Ms Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

    Harry: "Pockets."

    Ms Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

    Harry: "Pants"

    Ms Brooks: What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?

    Harry: Coconut

    Ms Brooks: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?

    The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry was taking charge.

    Harry: Bubblegum

    Ms Brooks: What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?

    The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer.

    Harry: Shake hands

    Ms Brooks: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay?

    Harry: Yep.

    Ms Brooks: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do.

    Harry: Tent

    Ms Brooks: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first.

    The Principal was looking restless and a bit tense.

    Harry: Wedding Ring

    Ms Brooks: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good.

    Harry: Nose

    Ms Brooks: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver.

    Harry: Arrow

    Ms Brooks: What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?

    Harry: Firetruck

    The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last ten questions wrong myself."

    A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she lay her
    pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the
    bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said,
    "I am so sorry, your pet has passed away."
    The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure. The duck is
    dead," he replied. "How can you be so sure," she protested. "I mean, you
    haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or
    something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He
    returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's
    owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put is front
    paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He
    then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted
    the dog and took it out and returned a few moments later with a beautiful
    cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed the bird from its beak
    to its tail and back again. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its
    head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled out of the room. The vet
    looked at the woman and said' I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most
    definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." Then the vet turned to his
    computer terminal, hit a few keys, and produced a bill which he handed to
    the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$650!", she
    cried. "$650 just to tell me my duck is dead?!!" The vet shrugged. "I'm
    sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $50. But
    what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it all adds up."

    A friend of mine runs a joke/pun weblog. He quoted:

    February 2, 2005 was Groundhog Day, and was the date of the State of the Union address.

    As pointed out by Air America Radio...
    "What an ironic juxtaposition:
    one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to
    a creature of little intelligence for prognostication
    and the other involves a groundhog."

    First St. Patrick's Joke of the Day:

    An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scot were sitting in a bar. The view was fantastic, the beer excellent, and the food exceptional.

    "Y'ken," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back home. Why, in Glasgow there's a wee bar called McTavish's. Now, the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy 4 drinks, he will buy the 5th drink for you."

    "Well," said the Englishman, "at my local, The Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first two."

    "Ahhh, that's nothing," said the Irishman. "Back home in Dublin there's O'Driscoll's Bar. Now, the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All on the house."

    "Well," said the Englishman, "did this actually happen to you?"

    "Not me myself, personally, no," said the Irishman, "but it did happen to me sister."

    I was tending bar one day when guy walked in, ordered three pints of Guiness and sat alone at a corner table. In my mind, I questioned why he needed three pints, but he seemed adiment, so I brought them over to him.

    I watched for about a half-hour while we drank. He would sip from one and set it down. Then he would sip from the second. Completing the cycle, he would sip from the third and then repeat the process. I was, of course, curious and since there was no one else in the bar I walked over to offer some company. I asked about his curious drinking style.

    He said, "I was born and raised in the small village Gort in County Galway. When me parents passed away, me two brothers and I went our seperate ways. One brother moved to Canada, one stayed in Gort, and I came to America. Every year, on the day our parents died, we drink a toast to each other and dream of the day we will be together again."

    Of course I was moved by the emotion in his voice and I gave him his space.

    The following year he came back. And the year after that. After two years, he would just walk in, sit at the table and I would bring him three pints as though on cue. I even marked my calendar.

    I'll never forget the day. Per the norm, he walked in and sat at his table. As soon as I had the three pints drawn up, settled, and topped off, I lumbered over to him. After I had set them down and begun to step away, he stopped me. "Please remove one of the pints, my friend" he said. At first I didn't know what to make of it, but after I had returned to the bar it occured to me.

    It took me quite a while to muster up the nerve but eventually I walked over.

    "I'm sorry" I said.
    "About what" said he.
    "Well," I cleared my throat, "you're drinking only two pints this year. Which of your brothers has passed away?"
    "Ah jeez," he exclaimed with a hearty laugh, "No one died. I've given up drinking!"

    And you'd also like "We're All in This Together," even though it's not about a Prius.

    I had to use Gort in my story because I spent a school-year teaching in the public school in Gort. Or more like "Pubil Skol An Gort Encha Guria" though our Irish friends will swag me for my pitiful Gaelic. Gobshite, ludreman.

    True story: I arrived into the Shannon and hopped a bus taking me to Gort. When the driver told me that we had arrived, I told him that wasn't possible because I was told that the population of Gort was considerably less than what I was looking at. That's when it occured to him that when I said "Gort" he thought I said "Cork" and drove me there. He very politely explained to me that it's pronounced \Gart\ and that compared to English, all words that rhyme with "or" are pronounced like \are\. After riding the bus for several hours in the opposite direction, I never forgot.
