A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
After the initial embarrassment and uneasiness, they both go to sleep, the man in the upper berth, and the woman in the lower.
In the middle of the night the man leans over, wakes the woman and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly reach over and get me another blanket?"
The woman leans out and, with a glint in her eye says, "I have a better idea. Just for tonight let's pretend that we are married."
The man happily says, "OK. Brilliant!"
The woman says "Good ... get your own blanket."

A couple, determined that their new baby daughter should not grow up to be fast-living or worldly-wise, brought her up to be a sweet young thing.When she grew up she was married in white, to a nice young man of whom both her parents approved. On the wedding night, she sat by the window and looked eagerly at the night sky."Come to bed,come to bed" the young husband urged her."Oh no, I can't"she told him"My mother told me that this was going to be the most wonderful night of my life and I don't want to miss a single minute of it."

Bad day at work???
If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a coma!
This is even funnier when you realize it's real!
Next time you have a bad day at work, think of this guy.
Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana.
He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.
Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister.
She then sent it to a radio station in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was
sponsoring a worst job experience contest.
Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue,
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.
Last week I had a bad day at the office.
I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would
share
my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all.
Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a
few technicalities of my job.
As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea.
I wear a suit to the office.
It's a wetsuit.
This time of year the water is quite cool.
So what we do to keep warm is this:
We have a diesel-powered industrial water heater.
This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea, heats
it
to a delightful temperature, then pumps it down to the diver through a
garden hose which is taped to the air hose.
Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times
with
no complaints.
What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose
and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit.
This floods my whole suit with warm water.
It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my bum started to
itch.
So, of course, I scratched it.
This only made things worse.
Within a few seconds my bum started to burn!
I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done.
In agony I realized what had happened.
The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my
suit.
Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't
stick
to it.
However, the crack of my bum was not as fortunate.
When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding
the
jellyfish into the crack of my bum.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator.
His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five
other divers, were all laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive.
I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops
totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin
my
chamber dry decompression.
When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass
helmet.
As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter
running
down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my
bum
as soon as I got in the chamber.
The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poo for two days because my
bum
was swollen shut.
So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much
worse
it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your arse.
Now repeat to yourself, I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.
Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad
day?
May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!

A mother is driving her little girl to her friend's house
for a play date. "Mommy," the little girl asks, "How old
are you?"
"Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age," the
mother replied. "It's not polite."
"OK," the little girl says, "How much do you weigh?"
"Now really," the mother says, "Those are personal
questions and are really none of your business."
Undaunted, the little girl asks, "Why did you and Daddy
get a divorce?"
"That's enough questions, young lady! Honestly!" The
exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to
play.
"My mom won't tell me anything about herself," the little
girl says to her friend.
"Well," says the friend, "all you need to do is look at
her driver's license. It's like a report card, it has
everything on it."
Later that night the little girl says to her mother, " I
know how old you are. You are 32."
The mother is surprised and asks, "How did you find that
out?"
"I also know that you weigh 135 pounds."
The mother is past surprised and shocked now. "How in
Heaven's name did you find that out?"
"And," the little girl says triumphantly, "I know why you
and Daddy got a divorce."
"Oh, really?" the mother asks. "Why?"
"Because you got an F in sex."

If you still check this site, I have a thought for you
If a man is in the forest and says something
And there isn't a woman around to tell him he's wrong
Is he still wrong?

Unfortunately yes, Men are known, to always get it wrong.
Thats why they only have 3 pairs of shoes,
They have lost the rest of their shoes by putting their foot in their mouths.

One December, a man rang his daughter, who lived in Brisbane, and told her"Your mother and I are going to get a divorce." "But Dad," his daughter said"You and Mum have been married for more than thirty years!"
"It's been coming while ,"her father said"and now that our children are all well grown up it is time for your mother and I to part company"
The horrified daughter instructed him not to do a thing about it until she got there and ASAP she rang her brother, who lived in Melbourne, told him what Dad had said and he rang Dad and Mum in New Zealand, urging them,"Don't do a thing until I get there." So his father agreed readily.
When he had finished talking to his son on the phone, he went to his wife and said "Great news Sweetheart! The kids are both coming home for Christmas and they're paying their own airfares."
