    A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain.

    "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?"

    "Throw out an anchor, sir," the student replied.

    "What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?"

    "Throw out another anchor, sir."

    "And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do then?" asked the captain.

    "Throw out another anchor, sir."

    "Hold on," said the captain. "Where are you getting all those anchors from?"

    "From the same place you're getting your storms, sir."

    A beautiful young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. But just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young sailor stopped her.

    "You have so much to live for," said the sailor. "Look, I’m off to Europe tomorrow and I can stow you away on my ship. I’ll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy."

    With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Europe, the woman accepted. That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches and make love to her until dawn.

    Three weeks later she was discovered by the captain during a routine inspection.

    "What are you doing here?" asked the captain.

    "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she replied. "He brings me food and I get a free trip to Europe. Plus he’s screwing me."

    "He certainly is," replied the captain. "This is the Staten Island Ferry."

    You're welcome. I am often surprised how well a joke can lift the spirits.
    Perhaps we should have a humour thread ;)

    Cheers

    Ok that was nice. But read this.

    Once Count Dracular had 2 other brothers, Count Drake and Count Doom. These three brother like to boost on victims they had sucked up dry.

    One day Count Drakular held a contest to settle dispute once and for all. He summoned his might to do unbelievable task of crossing the sea to an island to find victims ( sea travelling is no fun for vampire it seem ).

    Count Drake was the first to fly and took half a night, he was covered with blood and he cried.... LOOK I had taken blood from the beach where naked man and woman try to make out... I win !!! But Count Dracula told him not to jump into conclusion.

    Immediately Count Dracula flew and took only an hour and have blood in his mouth and shirt and he cried.... AHA I had cross fast and taken the blood of the villages by the beach !!!

    Not wasting further longer Count Doom flew like a wind an rushes to the island. To everybody amaze he was back ten minute with whole body covered with blood. Everybody asked for his explaination but he hesitate to tell until the night was quite over.

    Count Doom said:" Damn it ! I should have checked the weather report to stay clear of that Fog or else I wouldnt have slammed into that container ship at hi-speed........"

    "UN Survey"

    Last month the UN conducted a little survey. All
    member-countries were
    asked to answer the following question.

    " Would you please give your honest opinion about
    solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the
    world? "

    The survey was a huge failure....

    In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

    In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest"
    meant.

    In Western Europe they didn't know what
    "shortage" meant.

    In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

    In the Middle East they didn't know what
    "solution" meant.

    In South America they didn't know what "please"
    meant.

    And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of
    the world" meant.

    Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis
    of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they
    had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said
    would be way eviler than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North
    Korea axis President Bush warned of his State of the
    Union address.

    Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed
    the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb
    name. "Right. They are Just as Evil... in their
    dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
    "Everybody knows we're the best evils...
    best at being evil... we're the best."

    Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over
    being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if
    they could join the Axis of Evil.

    "They told us it was full," said Syrian President
    Bashar al-Assad.

    "An Axis can't have more than three countries,"
    explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not
    my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had
    Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can
    only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is
    wicked cool."

    THE AXIS PANDEMIC
    International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil
    declaration was swift, as within minutes, France
    surrendered.

    Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain
    triumvirate status in what became a game of
    geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they
    had formed the Axis of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia
    to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the Axis
    of Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria, Indonesia and
    Russia established the Axis of Not So Much Evil Really
    As Just Generally Disagreeable.

    With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the
    desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador,
    and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of Countries
    That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to
    Host the Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and Australia
    formed the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite
    Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America,
    while Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the
    Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear
    Lipstick.

    "That's not a threat, really, just something we like
    to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack
    McConnell.

    While wondering if the other nations of the world
    weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush
    granted approval for most axes, although he rejected
    the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names
    End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a
    false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay,
    and Chadguay denied the charges.

    Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any
    Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only
    because no one asked them.

    "Enron and Capitalism"
    Capitalism;
    You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies,
    and the economy grows. You
    sell them and retire on the income.

    Enron Venture Capitalism;

    You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed
    company, using letters of credit
    opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity
    swap with an associated general offer so that you get four cows
    back,with a tax exemption for five cows.

    The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to
    a Cayman Island company
    secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to
    seven cows back to your listed
    company.

    The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on
    one more.

    Now do you see why a company with $62 billion in assets is declaring
    bankruptcy?

    Nice jokes - I particularly liked the political ones - those are proper satire!
