Not new, but still funny...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

(Here it comes)
The bank manager looks back at her and says ..
[i][b]"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."[/b][/i]

Snopes says this is only a partially true story, something about the knickknack actually being a porcelain turtle not an elephant, but it's funny nonetheless. x:D

Or better yet, I'll e-mail your dad and give him a link to this page so he knows how much his darling daughter ENJOYS his forwards and is encouraged to send even more.
I still think we may just have the same father. Perhaps one of us (you, of course) was adopted. I'm not sure it's physically possible to have been born a month apart, by the same parents.
If your dad sends out a warning that Barack Obama never salutes the flag, my dad will quickly remind him that Hillary Clinton once told a child there was no God.
If your dad forwards a poem supposedly written by a soldier in Iraq, my dad will volley with a heartfelt story from a kid who could teach us all a lesson about what's really important in life.
And don't think my dad won't send everything twice.
In her defense, she refuses to forward friendship chain emails. She, however, is addicted to the "reply-to-all" button. Even when I'm the only person she knows on the distribution list.
Maybe instead of planning the next Forum Cruise, we should plan a Parents of the Forum Cruise. There's a scary thought. My parents will bring the scotch.
I tend to treat e-mails like personal letters and unless I'm really pressed for time I will type an individual one to each person. She insists upon forwarding my e-mails that I send her to everyone in the family so they all end up getting my news twice. I've tried asking her not to, to no avail, so I've just stopped e-mailing her unless she e-mails me with something that requires a reply, and then I keep it short & sweet (and she still probably forwards it to everyone).
"You have been cited for excessive forwarding. Your e-mail privileges have been suspended for 72 hours. In the meantime, please go outside and take a walk or volunteer somewhere. You have time apparently."
To Q: There use to be a license to reproduce, unfortunately only 50% of the reproductions are now products of that license. And you know what I'm talking about don't ya.
Wait, are we even talking about reproducing human beings, or are we talking about producing bootleg music CD's that some law-ignoring companies make for their manager retreats?
I was speaking of the other. It's okay to be confused. And I do not consider you a complete idiot.
What is left unsaid speaks loudest. x:-)
I'll try to do better...
Ray, throw me a rope!
I think what you meant to say was Q is one of the 5 most intelligent posters from Phoenix, AZ.
Just say you think I am smart, witty, and thoroughly enjoyable. I will simply say thank you.
Ray, my HR moniker says nothing about Phoenix, it simply says AZ. Just like yours says nothing about "middle of nowhere" it only says NY.

You don't dye your hair blonde. You bleach it. You use dye if you want a darker color. The only way she could 'dye' her hair blonde would be if she had very light colored hair and went for a darker shade of blonde.
I didn't think Ray was a blonde, but...
1. What is the official State Flower of Arizona?
2. What State is the Cactus Wren the official bird of?
3. What is the official State Gemstone of Arizona?
4. What is the Saguaro Blossom?
5. What is the official State Bird of Arizona?
6. What is important to know about Turquiose and the State of Arizona?
Take your time, read each question carefully, if you're not sure go to the next question, then the next question, then the next question. Then the next question. If you still can't answer the first question, stop trying, quit your job and move to New Mexico.
