royal egyptains

A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru,  -- "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish."

Too Fat To Work

Stephen Beer, 45, and wife Michelle, 43, like their food fast - and were spotted coming out of a KFC with a bargain bucket to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

The couple, of Plymouth, Eng,  became national hate figures when they appeared on the documentary ‘Too Fat to Work’ and admitted they receive $3,000 a month in welfare because they are 'disabled by their weight.'  Their combined weight is 770 pounds.

I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

I won't belong to any organization that would have me as a member.  

I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Johnny Appleseed
