WHAT NOT TO SAY TO A POLICE OFFICER...
- I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
- Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
- I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
- You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
- Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
- I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
- When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with "Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
- I pay your salary!
YOU KNOW YOU WORKED IN THE 90'S IF...
- You've sat at the same desk for 4 years and worked for 3 different organizations. - Your resume is in a diskette in your pocket. - You get really excited about a 2% pay raise. - You learn about your layoff on the news. - Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job. - Salaries of the members on the Executive Board are higher than all the developing countries' gross national products combined. - It's dark when you drive to work. - It's dark when you drive from work. - Communication is something your section is having problems with. - You see a good looking person and know it is a visitor. - Free food left over from meetings is your main staple. - Being sick is defined as "can't walk" or "in the hospital." - You're already late on the work task you just got. - You work 200 hours for a $100 bonus check. - "Vacation" is something you roll over to next year, or a check you get every January. - Your relatives and family describe your job as "working with computers". - Your business cards are no longer correct just a month after you receive them. - You have every "Cup-A-Soup" brand known to man in your desk drawer. - You have no hobbies that do not involve an electronic device. - During any outside-of-work event that vaguely resembles a social activity, your co-workers outnumber your family members. - You must fill in your own job performance evaluations and target goals because no one else really knows what you do anyway. - Besides, the Human Resources Department was outsourced last month. - Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you've lost your best jokes from Tonton Ali. - You read this entire list and understood it.
A LITTLE SERVICE...
Hello, this is Tonton Ali. I have a little service to ask you. I have some friends from Pakistan who are trying to escape from the Americans. They have a very limited budget for this trip and they asked me help them out. They don't have a lot of luggage and they are already possess all the necesary camping material. See, they just need a little place to spend the night (they may use the bathrooms and the kitchen as well). I went ahead and I gave them your address, I hope you won't mind. They should arrive very soon in your area. You will recognize them very easily, they are traveling in two Mercedes. I included a picture so that you might recognize them without trouble. Check it out here.
TALKING DOG
A guy walks into a bar with his dog. The bartender says, "Hey buddy, you can't bring that dog in here, don't you see the sign. It says no dogs allowed."
The guy says, "But my dog isn't like other dogs, he can can talk."
The bartender says, "Oh yeah, well prove it, and I'll let you and the dog stay."
The guy says, "Ok, watch this." He bends down to his dog and says, "Hey Rover, what is over our heads?"
The dog says "RRRRooooFFFF."
The bartender shakes his head and says, "Get out of here."
The guy says, "No wait, watch this. Rover, who is the greatest baseball player in the world?" The dog says, "RRRRuuuuFFFF."
The bartender says, "You've got to be kidding me," and kicks the guy and his dog out of the bar. The guy and his dog leave the bar and start walking down the street when the dog looks up at his owner and says, "Gee, I blew it. Maybe I should have said DiMaggio."

TALKING ABOUT A MAJOR...
"What's the usual tip?" a man growled when, Jason, a college boy delivered his pizza.
"Well," Jason replied, "this is my first delivery, but the other guys said that if I got a quarter out of you, I'd be doing great."
"Is that so?" grunted the man. "In that case, here's five dollars."
"Thanks," Jason said, "I'll put it in my college fund."
"By the way, what are you studying?" inquired the man.
Jason replied, "Applied psychology."
