A woman asks a friend to help her shop for a dress for her upcoming wedding. They start looking in the white dress area. The friend says "You shouldn't be looking for white, that's for virgins and you've been married three times". The woman says "That's true, I have been married three times
but I'm still a virgin." "How's that?", asked the friend. The woman said "Well, my first husband was a gynecologist and all he wanted to do was look at it.
My second was a lawyer and all he wanted to do was argue about it.
My third was a stamp collector----God I miss him!"
Two aliens land in Metro Detroit, and they happen to land next to a gas station. So, the aliens waddle out of their ship and look around...
The first thing they see that resembles a being is the gas pump. The two aliens approach and the first one says "Earthling, take me to your leader!"
Of course he gets no response.....
The first alien looks at his buddy, and then addresses the pump again..
"Earthling, I said take me to your leader!"
Of course, still no response....
The alien then turns to his buddy and says "If this Earthling doesn't show me some respect and at least acknowledge me, I'm going to blast him!"
At that, the second alien replies, "OK. I'm just going to stand down on the next block."
The first Alien looks a little puzzled, but waits for the other to waddle to the next block. He then addresses the pump a third time..
"Earthling take me to your leader!"
Still nothing.
So the alien then pulls out his ray gun and vaporizes the pump....
The gas station goes up in a huge explosion, blowing the alien all the way down the block to his buddy. He gets up, dusts himself off, and turns to the second Alien. "If you knew that was going to happen why didn't you warn me!?"
The second replies "Well,
I didn't know exactly what was going to happen.

Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake.
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,

Jack is one horny real estate guy and is not sure what to do about it. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a five dollar bill. Jack walks down the steet to the local
brothal and knocks on the door. The madam opens the door and asks Jack what she can do for him. "I'm really horney but I only have $5. What can you do for me?", Jack asks the madam. She looks over this fellow and tells Jack, "Don't worry we can take care of you. No problem."
She leads Jack into this room where in the opposite corner is a chicken. Jack thinks about this a second and figures it can't be that bad. He gives the madam the $5 and closes the door behind her. With the eagerness of a teenager he quickly undresses. Once naked, Jack wastes no time and starts to fuck the chicken. As soon as Jack develops a
rythym he starts to enjoy himself a great deal. He and the chicken really go at it for a while until all that built up frustration is finally released.
Jack can't remember when he has had such a pleasurable experience. One week later, and horny again, Jack has saved up $10. Being a satisfied customer he goes back to the same madam and asks what she can do for him for $10.
"Well for $10 we have special show", the madam replies. She leads him into a different room where there are several other people sitting on benches. "Sit back and enjoy the show Jack", the madam tells Jack. Jack gives the money to the madam and takes a seat on one of benches.
Soon after, the lights dim and the blinds open revealing another room on the other side of a two way mirror where two women begin to undress each other.
Jack is very impressed. Clearly these women are unaware anyone is watching as they begin to make love to each other passionately. Apparently there is nothing they won't do to each other. Jack once again feels like he is getting his money's worth. He turns to the person beside him and says, "this is a pretty good show for ten bucks eh?!
The guy turns to Jack and says, "That's nothing.....last week we saw a guy fuck a chicken.

die,
I'll give him C.P.R."
So he starts giving him C.P.R. After a few minutes he gets up and says
"Holy moly, this guy has bad breath!" He can't continue.
The other agent says "Well move over....we can't let him die!"
A few minutes later he gives up, disgusted and says, "Youre right he
does
have bad breath"
The other agent, standing behind, pauses for a moment and says" Wasn't
the
guy we were watching water skiing?" "Ya" responds the other.
"So how come this guy is wearing skates?"
The big chess tournament was taking place at the Plaza in New York.
After
the first day's competition, the winners were sitting around in the
foyer
of the hotel talking about their matches and bragging about
their wonderful play. After a few drinks they started getting louder
and
louder until finally, the desk clerk couldn't take any more and kicked
them
out.
The next morning the Manager called the clerk into his office and told
him
there had been many complaints about his being so rude to the hotel
guests....instead of kicking them out, he should have just asked them to
be
less noisy. The clerk responded, "I'm sorry, but if there's one thing I
can't stand, it's chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."
