Father Murphy walked into a pub and said to the first man he met, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

The man said, "I do Father."

The priest said, "Leave this pub right now!"

He then approached a second man. "Do you want to got to heaven?"

"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.

"Then leave this den of Satan!" said the priest.

Father Murphy then walked up to O'Toole and asked, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole replied: "No, I don't Father."

The priest looked him right in the eye and said, "You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole smiled, "Oh, when I die. Yes, Father. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

At a communist nudist camp, two men are sitting out on the porch watching the sunset. One turns to the other and says, "I say, my good man, have you read Marx?" The other replies, "Yes. I believe it's these wicker chairs."

After a job interview...

Interviewer: "You seem to be the most suitable person for this job. However, there's one thing that disturbs me. Your left eye keeps twitching"

Applicant: "Oh, you see, it's a neural disorder. It will go over when I take an Aspirin. In fact, I have a pack of Aspirins in my pocket right now."

*The applicant starts emptying his pockets. He finds five packets of condoms and puts them on the table. Finally he finds the Aspirins, takes one and the twitching stops indeed.*

Interviewer: "I believe what you said about the neural disorder but what about all those condoms? Are you some sort of pervert or sex addict?"

Applicant: "You go to the dispensary, ask for Aspirin and wink at the same time!"

On July 20,1969,as commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module,
Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
His first words after stepping on the moon,"That's one small step for man,one giant leap for mankind," were televised to earth and heard by millions. But just before he reentered the lander ,he made the enigmatic remark?"Good luck Mr.Gorsky."
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However,upon checking there was no Gorsky
in either the Russian or American space programs.
Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the
"Good luck Mr. Gorsky"...statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
On July 5 ,1995,in Tampa Bay Florida,while answering questions
following a speach, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question
to Armstrong,this time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died so
Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
In 1938 , when he was a kid in a small midwestern town,he was
playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.His friend hit the ball , and it landed in his neighbor's back yard ,near the bedroom windows.
His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.As Armstrong leaned down to pick up the ball he overheard Mrs.Gorsky yelling at Mr.Gorsky,
"SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT
DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!"

This is supposed to be a true story.

Back in the Swinging Sixties, Michael Caine is holding a big Showbiz
party in his swanky new house.
Everyone who's anyone is there - top stars from the worlds of movies and
music, fashion and art. There's a feast of pints, the best wines that
money can buy, oysters,champagne.
Lennon and McCartney are helping themselves at the bar, Jim Morrison
and his band are sitting on the couch singing "Light My Fire", and over in the corner,
George Peppard's getting very pally with Sophia Loren.
All's going really well, until Jim Morrison decides he's bored out of
his skull, and wants to go home for an early night curled up with a good
book.
"Oi, Jim," objects Michael Caine, "party's just got started.
How's about I get one of 'the ladies' to take you into the spare bedroom
for a bit of the 'how's yer father'?"
"Fair play," nods Jim [well that's not his exact words, but you get the
idea], "as long as she does the rest of the band, too."
"Not a problem, Jim," smiles Michael, as he pulls a young dolly bird in
close and whispers some instructions in her ear.

Half an hour later, in
walks Ringo Starr from the Beatles.
"Alright, luv?" he drones, "don't s'pose you fancy extending that
service to me, do you?".

The young woman thinks about this for a second, then says, "What the
hell!" Ringo's having a grand time, until, mere moments before the end, the door opens and
Michael Caine bursts in.
He grabs the young one by the back of the hair and slaps her hard across
the face!
"Wh-what was that for?" she whimpers.
"I told you," Caine snarls.

Urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off.

So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing? I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?" I told him I was a light bulb. He said "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days".

I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her"...And where do you think you're going?"

She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"
