The Firing Squad
A man was scheduled to go before a firing squad for his crimes. The evening before his execution, he was asked what he wanted for his last meal. He refused the meal completely. The next morning the man was brought before the firing squad. When asked for his last request, the man said he had none. The General in charge of his execution asked him, ''Sir, you refused your last meal and your last request. Isn't there anything you want before you die?'' The man thought for a moment, then said, ''Music has always been an important part of my life. If I could do but one thing before I die, would you allow me to sing my favorite song from beginning to end, without interruption?'' The General thought this was a reasonable request, and ordered his men to lower their weapons and to not interrupt for the duration of the song. ''Ten million bottles of beer on the wall...'' |

A married couple enjoyed their new fishing boat, but the husband always drove. Worried about what might happen in an emergency, he told his wife, "Honey, today we're going to pretend that I've had a heart attack. Take the wheel and get the boat safely back to the dock." She did great. That evening, she walked into the living room where he was watching television. She sat down beside him, grabbed the remote, changed the channel to HGtv, and said, "Honey, tonight we're going to pretend that I've had a heart attack. Cook the dinner, set the table, and wash the dishes!"

Sexy Timepiece
A man is sitting at a bar one night, wearing a fancy new watch, covered with buttons and lights and dials. The woman next to him says, "Wow, that's a really fancy watch." Thanks, says the guy, "It's the cutting edge of technology. I can telepathically ask this watch anything I want to know, and it'll answer me, telepathically." "Rubbish," says the girl. "No, it's true," says that guy. "Look, tell you what, I'll prove it. I'll ask it if you've got any panties on." The guy scrunches up his eyes for a moment, as if concentrating hard to talk to his watch, then opens them and says, "Nope, it says you haven't got any panties on." "Well, it's wrong," says the girl, "I do have panties on." "Damn," says the guy, slapping his watch, "it's an hour fast!" |

Lunch Anyone?
A little old lady sits at the luncheonette counter and orders a hamburger. The huge guy behind the counter bellows, "One burger!" Whereupon the chef grabs a huge hunk of chopped meat, stuffs it in his bare armpit, pumps his arm a few times to squeeze it flat, and then tosses it on the grill. "That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen," the old lady says. "Yeah?" says the counterman. "You should be here in the morning when he makes the doughnuts." |

A few years ago, there was a Mensa convention in San Francisco and several members lunched at a local cafe. While dining, they discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the bottles without spilling, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly this was a job for Mensa! The group debated and presented ideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over to dazzle her with their solution. "Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker." Oh," the waitress interrupted. "Sorry about that..." She unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them. Problem solved! |

Hey, Jim, I need your help," said Bob. "How can I organize this report for the boss?" Jim looked it over and suggested, "Why don't you use Roman numerals to head the different sections?" Bob replied, "Yeah, I thought of that, too, but I can't." Jim looked puzzled. "Why not?" Bob complained, "My computer's keyboard doesn't have Roman numerals!"

In the interest of equal time, I thought about posting this in the "This Day in History" thread but since redneck history isn't very well documented, here will do:
----------------------------------------earl cornbum became the first redneck to fly when, on this day in 1832, he failed to stand downwind of the campfire after downing his fifth helping of beans. |

Historical inaccuracy alert. WIKI says:
----------------------------------------Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the canning process was gradually put into practice in other European countries and in the United States. Based on Appert's methods of food preservation, Peter Durand patented a process in the United Kingdom in 1810, developing a process of packaging food in sealed airtight wrought-iron cans. Initially, the canning process was slow and labour-intensive, as each can had to be hand-made and took up to six hours to cook properly, making tinned food too expensive for ordinary people to buy. Throughout the mid-nineteenth century, tinned food became a status symbol amongst middle-class households in Europe, becoming something of a frivolous novelty.
