Joke of the day

Found this joke.

Working together
An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.

The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."

To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shoveling."

And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of the supplies."

He then says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that there pile."

So the foreman goes away for a couple hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched. He asks the Italian,

"Why didn't you sweep any of it?"

The Italian replies, "I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinese a fella that he a wasa in a charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."

Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile."

The Scotsman replies, "Aye, ye did lad, boot ah couldnay get meself a shoovel! Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldnay fin' him either."

The foreman is really angry now and storms off toward the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy ...

Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells . . . . . .

"SUPPLIES!"

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the

their

> discussion on the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked the
> class
> for an example of a "tragedy". One little boy stood up and offered: If my
> best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor
> runs

>
> "No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."
>
> A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove

>
> "I'm afraid not," explained the president. "That's what we would called a
> great loss."
>
> The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched the
> room.
> "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
>
> Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet

> he said: "If Air Force One carrying You and Mrs. Bush was struck by a
> "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a
> tragedy."
>
> "Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that
> would be tragedy?"
>
> "Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy because it certainly
wouldn't

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of Tampax and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"

"Eight", the boy replied.

The man continued, "Do you know how these are used?"

The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They are for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike.

............... He can't do either one"

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.

> The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best;

> The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers.
> Those

> Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart,

A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway when he notices a sign

>
> SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 10 MILES
>
> He thinks it was a figment of his imagination and drives on without a
second
> thought. Soon, he sees another sign, which says:
>
> SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 5 MILES
>
> Suddenly, he begins to realize that these signs are for real.
> Then he drives past a third sign saying:
>
> SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT
>
> His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far
> side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to a
door
> reading:
>
> SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
>
> He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a
> long black habit who asks, "What may we do for you, my son?"
> He answers, "I saw your signs along the highway, and was interested in
> possibly doing business."
> "Very well, my son. Please follow me."
>
> He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented.
> The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, "Please knock on this
> door."
>
> He does as he is told and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup,
> answers this door. This nun instructs, "Please place $50 in the cup, then
go
> through the large wooden door at the end of this hallway."
> He gets $50 out of his wallet and places it in the second nun's cup.
>
> He trots eagerly down the hall and slips through the door, pulling it shut
> behind him. As the door locks behind him, he finds himself back in the
> parking lot, facing another small sign:
>
> GO IN PEACE. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS.
> SERVES YOU RIGHT, YOU SINNER.
