I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osama was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or, Canadians can come into our precious land."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American sits down, cracks a beer, smiles, and says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Fill it with water."</description><link>http://www.genesjokes.com/2007/12/genie-joke.html</link><author>Gene</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063397092335631543.post-3189867617244597432</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-18T22:38:11.939-08:00</atom:updated><title>Yet Another Blonde Joke</title><description>that wanted to be a movie star. She traveled all the way to California and ran out of money. A friend suggested she go into the better neighborhoods and go door to door offering to work. She knocked on one door and told the young man that she needed money and would do anything for $100. The young fellow thought a moment and said: "I'll tell you what. If you paint my porch, I will give you $100 when you finish." The blonde agreed, the young man gave her a gallon of paint, and went back inside. About 30 minutes later, there is a knock on the door and the young man answers and finds the blonde standing there."I'm all finished she said." "You finished the entire porch already?", the young man asked. "Yes" said the blonde.

The trained Chihuahua will then go right for the privates of the animal, and when the gorilla instinctively crosses his hands in front to protect himself, you slap on the handcuffs!” “Got it.” the homeowner replied. “But what's the shotgun for?” “If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla,” said the serviceman, “shoot the Chihuahua.”</description><link>http://www.genesjokes.com/2007/12/gorilla-joke.html</link><author>Gene</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063397092335631543.post-1943393336242200553</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Dec 2007 01:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-03T17:42:47.044-08:00</atom:updated><title>Nun Joke</title><description>Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last instruction of the Mother Superior is that they must not get even a drop of paint on their habits.

desert sands towards Israel, when the Arab commander, bouncing along in his jeep, spots an aged Israeli on top a distant sand dune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commander drops his binoculars and shouts orders to a foot soldier to run up ahead and kill the infidel Israeli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soldier sprints ahead of theadvancing troops, and soon disappears over the sand dune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The general stops the troops and waits to see what happens.Nothing happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commander sends a whole platoon of soldiers to investigate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All twelve Arabs disappear over the sand dune, never to be seen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The now-slightly-anxious commander dispatches 3 tanks to find out just what in the heck is going on, and they disappear over the dune, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sweat pours down the commander's forehead as he orders his entiredivision to overrun the solitary Israeli behind the sand dune.But just then, the first soldier reappears on the distant sand dune and cups his hands to his lips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Go back!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he shouts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Go back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's hopeless-- there's TWO of them!"</description><link>http://www.genesjokes.com/2007/08/six-day-war.html</link><author>Gene</author></item><item><guid

land, there'll be a truck waiting to pick you up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soldier checked his gear, called out the customary "Geronimo!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and jumped out of the plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He counted toten and pulled the ripcord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chute failed to open. He pulled the second ripcord and the chute still didn't open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he plummeted downward, he said, "I'll bet that goddamn truck won't be there

their government benefits, especially their GI insurance.It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones was having a staggeringly high success-rate, selling insurance to nearly100% of the recruits he advised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than asking him about this,the Captain stood at the back of the room and listened to Jones' sales pitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jones explained the basics of GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said, "If you are killed in a battle and have a GI Insurance, thegovernment has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, if you don'thave a GI insurance and get killed in the battle, the government onlyhas to pay a maximum of $6000."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Now," he concluded, "which group do YOU think they are going to send into battle first?"</description><link>http://www.genesjokes.com/2007/08/sales-strategy.html</link><author>Gene</author></item><item><guid

of officers that the session will focus on potential problems and the resulting strategies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the officers in the class begins by asking the first question, "Will we have to fight a World War Three?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, comrades, looks like you will," answers the general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And who will be our enemy, Comrade General?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;another officer asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The likelihood is that it will be China."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The class looks alarmed, and finally one officer asks, "But Comrade General, we are 150 million people and they are about 1.5 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can we possibly win?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well," replies the general, "Think about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In modern war, it is not the quantity, but the quality that is the key.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, in the Middle East, 5 million Jews fight against 50 million Arabs, and the Jews have been the winners every time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But sir," asks the panicky officer, "Do we have enough Jews"?</description><link>http://www.genesjokes.com/2007/08/russian-war-college.html</link><author>Gene</author></item><item><guid

desert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One to do the studies and one to write the reports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they laid off the night watchman.</description><link>http://www.genesjokes.com/2007/08/how-government-works.html</link><author>Gene</author></item></channel></rss>
