Well,here's a story about a driver stopped by a Highway Patrol Officer who must have been related to Barney Fife.
HPO: Okay sir,let's see your license.
Driver: Here you are.
HPO Stares intently at the license,then at the driver: You are wearing glasses in this photo,why don't you have them on?
Driver: I have contacts.
HPO: Listen Mister! I don't care who you know!! ![]()
Good one.
One evening, while car-pooling home from the office, our driver was stopped.
Same initial dialog transpired, and Dave handed the officer his license. Now, Dave was about 6-8 and 300 lbs. He looked like a very large Alex Karras (NFL football player from that era), but he had a full head of black hair, and a very full black beard - just a "bear" of a man. The license was upside down, when handed to the officer. He looked at it for a long while, and then finally back at Dave. His eyes went back to the license, and he finally said, "Are you trying to be funny? I can run you in for that. This is not a picture of you!" Dave retrieved the license, and turned it around, handing it back to the officer, who replied, "Oh, OK. I see now. Well, slow down a bit, and have a nice day."
At least he did not ask Dave to get out of the car, and stand on his head, so that he could be properly identified... ![]()

Ditto. Some times the best ones are true.

At this point I'd guess the officer was too embarassed to be issuing any citation or speeding ticket with his name on it. ![]()
Last one in this series for me: One co-worker had a nephew in the Texas Highway Patrol,and a driver he stopped claimed to be a friend with someone in his division (he did not know it was the same officer he was talking to) The officer writes up the ticket and sneers,"I hate him."
A Police STOP at 2 AM
An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.
The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the adverse effects it has on the human body, as well as the effects of smoking and staying out late."
The officer then asks, "Really ... and who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The man replies, "That would be my wife".
No joke is original - it's a fact that they come from outside this universe. There's a significant possibility our ability to find things funny will evaporate when most people realize this and we mess up the experiment.
Why don't aliens eat clowns.
Because they taste funny.
Once upon a time there were two muffins in the microwave.
Suddenly, one of the muffins says: "Man it's hot in here!"
The other muffin exclaims, "My God, a talking muffin!!!!"
What do you tell people when you raise a herd of blind deer?
I have no eye deer.
What do you call a fish missing an eye?
A fsh.
What do you call two Mexicans playing basketball?
Juan on Juan.

On a beautiful summer's day, two American tourists were driving through Wales.
At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch, they stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists asked the waitress,
"Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?"
The girl leaned over and said, "Burrr … gurrr … king".
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!'
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'
Christmas Lights
Hi Sweetheart,
I am sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights.
I guess that sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when you want something.
I realize that I was wrong and I am apologizing for being such a hard-headed guy.
All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season.
Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights!
I took the time to hang the lights for you today and now I will be off to go hunting.
Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday.
I'll be home later.
Love you……

A Scottish Soldier, in full dress uniform, marches into a pharmacy. Very carefully he opens his sporran and pulls out a neatly folded cotton bandana, unfolds it to reveal a smaller silk square handkerchief, which he also unfolds - to reveal a condom. The condom has a number of patches on it.
The chemist holds it up and eyes it critically.
"How much to repair it?" The Scot asks the chemist.
"Six pence," says the chemist.
"How much for a new one?"
" Ten pence," says the chemist.
The Scot painstakingly folds the condom into the silk square handkerchief and the cotton bandana, replaces it carefully in his sporran and marches out of the door, shoulders back and kilt swinging. A moment or two later the chemist hears a great shout go up outside, followed by an even greater shout. The Scottish soldier marches back into the chemists and addresses the proprietor, this time with a grin on his face.
"The regiment has taken a vote," he says.. "We'll have a new one."
The Laws of Computing
1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to
happen.
2. When you get to the point where you really understand your computer,
it's probably obsolete.
3. The first place to look for information is in the section of the
manual where you'd least expect to find it.
4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.
5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
6. To err is human...to blame your computer for your mistakes is even
more human, its downright natural.
7. He who laughs last, probably has a back-up.
8. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
9. A complex system that doesn't work is invariably found to have
evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
10. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely
what you want it to do.
This was gleaned from fark.com during the recent fires in Colorado. Someone asked about the sources of these fires and got this gem of a reply:
"Campers. Smokers. Power lines. Car fire. House fire. Elk that have learned to use flint and steel. Meteorite. Kids with matches. Kids with a magnifying glass. Spontaneous human combustion. Fireworks. Spontaneous squirrel combustion. Homemade rocket. Embers from a chimney. An angry bear with a gas can, a lighter, and a political cause. Powertool malfunction. ATV fire. Drunk Texans blowing-off steam. Dragging trailer chains making sparks. Gods fighting. Fire ants finally living up to the hype. Badgers rioting over the stagnation of the middle-class. An arsonist who changed his mind, but then tripped and started the fire by accident. I could go on."
