Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?
Answer: I would not live forever, because we should not live forever,
because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live
forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live
forever.

18) A radio station in Australia ran a phone-in competition to
find the most embarrassing moment in listener's lives. The final
four were:
4th Place
"While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided
to release some pent-up energy and started to run amuck. I was finally
able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance
from other patrons. I told her that if she didn't start behaving
herself, right now, she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just
as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma
I saw you kissing Daddy's willie last night.' After this enlightening
exchange, the silence was deafening. Even the tellers stopped what
they were doing. I mustered the last of my dignity and walked out
of the bank, with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard as
the door closed behind me were screams of laughter".
3rd Place
"It was the day before my 18th birthday. I was living at home,
but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my girlfriend
over for a romantic night alone. As we lay in bed after making love,
we heard the telephone ringing downstairs. I suggested to my girlfriend
that I give her a piggy-back ride down to the phone.
Since we didn't want to miss the call, we didn't have time to get
dressed. When we got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly
came on as a whole crowd of people yelled "SURPRISE".
My entire family - parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins
as well as my friends, were standing there. My girlfriend and I
were frozen on the spot in a state of shock and embarrassment for
what seemed like an eternity. Since then, no one in my family has
planned any surprise parties.
2nd Place
A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally
got up to the checkout, she learned that one of the items had no
price tag. The checkout girl got on the public address system, which
boomed out across the store for everyone to hear, "Price check
for Tampax Super-size". But it got worse...
Someone at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word
Tampax' for 'Thumbtacks', and replied in a business like tone, his
voice booming over the same public address system: "Do you
want the kind you push in with your thumb or the kind you belt in
with a hammer?"
1st Place - And the winner is . . .
This happened at a major Australian University, during a biology
lecture. A professor was discussing the high glucose levels found
in semen. A young woman raised her hand and asked, "If I understand
you correctly, you are saying there is as much glucose in male semen
as in sugar? "The professor responded, "Yes, that's correct",
adding some statistical data to his lecture. Raising her hand again,
the girl asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?"
After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing. The
poor girl turned bright red, and as she realised exactly what she
had inadvertently said, she picked up her books, and without another
word, walked out of the class - and never returned.
However, as she was heading for the door, the professor's reply
was a classic. Totally straight faced, he answered her question.
"It doesn't taste sweet because the taste-buds for sweetness
are on the tip of your tongue and not in the back of your throat."

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.'

My wife and I are watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"
while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want
to have sex?".
"No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And then the fight started....
******************************************
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch,
grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up
my fishing boat up to my 4x4 and proceeded to back out into a torrential
downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the
garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would
be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and
slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with
a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there
is terrible." My loving wife of 10 years replied, "Can
you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
******************************************
I bumped into a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the
road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how
sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem
funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He
stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, "I AM
NOT HAPPY !!!" So, I looked down at him and said, "Well
then, which one are you?"
And then the fight started.....

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for
Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's
licence to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realised I
had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry,
but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said,
'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver
hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough
for me' and she processed my Social Security application When I
got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social
Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your trousers.
You might have gotten disability, too.'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion,
and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat
alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,'
I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't
been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person
could go on celebrating that long?'
And then the fight started...
******************************************
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took
my order first. "I'll have the steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about mad cow?"" Nah,
she can order for herself."
And then the fight started...
******************************************
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is
not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible;
I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's perfect.'
And then the fight started.....
16) A typical English 40 something, having split from his latest
girlfriend,
decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise
and
proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship
sank.
He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies,
nothing, only bananas and coconuts.
After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when
the most
gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief,
he
asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"
She replies, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I
landed here
when my cruise ship sank."
"Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have
a row boat wash up
with you."
"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. "I made the
boat out of raw
material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum
tree
branches. I wove the bottom from palm branches, and the sides and
stern
came from a Eucalyptus tree."
"But, where did you get the tools?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On
the south side of the
island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found
if I
fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile
iron. I used that for tools and used the tools to make the hardware."
The guy is stunned.
"Let's row over to my place," she says.
After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf.
As
the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him
is a
stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and
white.
While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp
rope,
the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck.
As they walks into the house, she says casually, "It's not
much but I
call it home. Sit down, please. Would you like a drink?"
"No! No thank you," he blurts out, still dazed. "I
can't take another
drop of coconut juice."
"It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have
a still. How would
you like a Pina Colada?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they
sit
down on her couch to talk. After they have exchanged their stories,
the
woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable.
Would you like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs
in
the bathroom cabinet."
No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the bathroom.
There,
in the cabinet, a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two
shells
honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside
a swivel
mechanism.
"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but vines, strategically
positioned, and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckons for him
to
sit down next to her. "Tell me," she begins suggestively,
slithering
closer to him, "We've been out here for many months. You've
been lonely.
There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now,
something you've been longing for?" She stares into his eyes.
He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean . . " he
swallows
excitedly and tears start to form in his eyes.
"Don't tell me you've got Sky Sports".
