Donald Rumsfeld was giving President Bush his daily war briefing. He concluded by saying:

"Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq."

"OH NO!" the President exclaimed. "That's terrible!"

His staff sat stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sat, head in hands. With the color almost gone from his face, the President finally looked up and asked...

"Exactly how many is a Brazillion ??"

I had this and the Brazilian one in my in pile for a while but hesitated to post them but now that one has shown up I'll post the other:

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What
are all those clocks?"
St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks.
Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your
clock will move."
"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that
she never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"
St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have
moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."
"Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man.
"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

poly = many
tick = small blood sucking creature

Put them together and...

I saw those same jokes when Clinton was president. They're still funny.

That's why I usually don't spend much time on joke forums. Some of that stuff is so old Lincoln probably rolled his eyes when he heard them.

Not bad....not bad.

My 8 year old grand niece told me this one:

Why did the boy take a computer to school?

Because his Mother told him to take the Treacher an Apple.


It may be an old one???? But....I'd never heard it, before.

That's cute. Probably accurate too.

Another kid joke:

Why did the Oreo go to the doctor?

Because he was feeling crummy.
