AIN'T IT A
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT?
My wife and I were browsing in a crafts store
when I noticed a display of country-style musical instruments. After
looking over the flutes, dulcimers and recorders, I
picked up a shiny, one-stringed instrument I took
to be a
mouth harp. I put it to my lips and, much to the
amusement of other shoppers, twanged a few notes on it.

book, the archives, the pages" gibi deyimlerde kullanılır)...

After watching from a distance, my wife came up
and whispered in my ear, "I hate to tell you this, honey, but you're
trying to play a cheese slicer."

anlamı yok.) |

DIRTY JOKE OF THE WEEK
MAN FALLS
ASLEEP AT CHURCH
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the
local church. "Reverend," she said, "I have a problem, my
husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very
embarrassing. What should I do?"

"I
have an idea," said the minister. "Take
a
hatpin with you.
I
will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will
motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a
good poke in the leg."

In
church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing
this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the
ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.

"Jesus!", Jones cried as his wife
poked
him the leg with the
hatpin.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister. Soon, Mr.
Jones
dosed
off again. Again, the minister noticed. "Who is
your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning towards
Mrs. Jones.

"God!" Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.
"Right again," said the minister, smiling. But
before
long, Mr.
Jones was
fast asleep
again.
The
minister had now got onto the story of Adam and Eve. He asked,
"And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore
him
his 99th son?".
Mrs. Jones bayoneted
her
husband with the hatpin.

The poor man jumped
and
yelled, "You stick that
goddamned thing in me one more time and I'll break it in half
and
shove it up your ass!"
"Amen," replied the congregation.
"O Allahın belası şeyi bana bir daha sokuşturursan, ortasından kırıp senin
k**ına tıkacağım," diye bağırdı...
"Amin" diye yanıt verdi cemaat...
WOW
!!
