The Adventures of Angry Bob in 'A Big Fat Talk 'o' Woe'
Tired of dying, Angry Bob undied and returned to the bar where he had died just a week earlier.
"It's so dumb to set yourself on fire to impress a woman," he thought.
"To impress a woman, one must be indifferent and elusive. Not an easy skill."
Thus, Angry Bob sat quietly, sat quietly 'til his mind had wandered and fallen off the track and walked awkwardly to the jukebox.
Two women followed. Angry Bob tepidly pushed some buttons, whacked the side,
and stood hoping.
Eight more women followed Bob went to the men's room.
Fourteen women stood outside the door. Angry Bob walked out and went straight to
the pool table.
Seventy-one women surrounded the table. Angry Bob had died and returned more knowledgeable.
Thus, Angry Bob silently surveyed the fine selection of beauties surrounding him and made the fatal error of trying to save
a hair from his forehead ...
...for the surging throng of beauties had crushed him against the bar.
Bob snapped like a toothpick and died.
... and felt an acute shortage of breath.
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.

Angry Bob went to a hair girl.
"Hello," he said.
"HI.
This place is a pretty good bar, though."
"Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?" he said.
"That was my best joke," he said.
"Depressed and hostile, he got his hair cut."
"I can't take it," said Biff. "I AM quitting my job now." The key, fine-tuning configuration, has been set.
"bulb"
"Sure," he said, "but I can't get over it for I need you."
So the girl took a sip of her beer and let out a giggle.
"Or box music and homemade fun."
Half an avocado cell phone call and put on some lipstick.
"I'm really boring."
Girl had sipped a sip of her beer and put her head down as she read.
"I want to be a fish."
On Bob's nose.
"HEY."
And crossed her legs and uncrossed her legs and took her head up and grabbed a cigarette from her purse.
"I don't suppose you have a light," said the girl, turning to Bob.
"Nice night," continued Bob, now thinking of Little League baseball games, sunscreen and happy.
The girl looked down at her beer and looked over at Bob and had a cigarette at her knee.
"Bob found another cigarette."
Vaguely aware that his uninflated patience with women had cost him a marriage, Bob decided to move his hand up by

Dearest Mother,
As you may have heard, I recently had both my ears chopped off by a Japanese chef... Then I got two breasts.
Fortunately, I found a new plastic surgeon who fixed both problems. Now I am good as new and doing just terrific!

HOW WAS THE WRITTEN PART OF YOUR DRIVING TEST?
EASY. THEY GIVE YOU A BUNCH OF REAL-LIFE DRIVING SITUATIONS AND ASK HOW YOU’D REACT.
THAT SOUNDS HARD.
NO… IT’S SIMPLE… EVERY QUESTION HAS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ANSWER.
“MAKE AN OBSCENE GESTURE.”
“MAKE AN OBSCENE GESTURE.”
“MAKE TWO OBSCENE GESTURES…”

BAGHDAD -- Today in Baghdad, I found all of the weapons of mass destruction. They were hidden in a downtown convenience store.
The weapons were right behind the counter, just to the left of the adult magazines. I asked the store's clerks, Punjab and Abu, how it was that Hans Blix could have missed these.
"Well," said Punjab, "It looked like Blix was headed straight for them, when suddenly, he made a beeline for the girlie magazines."
"Yeah," added Abu, "That Blix is one lonely guy."
