> your legs, and you put your head between mine."
>
> Still not knowing what she's talking about, but not wanting to ruin the
> moment, he agrees to try it. The second they get into position, she lets
> loose a rip-roaring fart!
>
> "What was that for?" he asks.
>
> "Ooops!..sorry, let's try it again" she says. So, they get into position
> again, and once more she lets one loose! The guy gets up and starts to put
> his coat on.
>
> "Wait, where are you going??" she asks.
>
> The guy says, "If you think I'm sticking around for 67 more of those,
you're

> The Note
>
> Old George's hospital bed is surrounded by well-wishers, but it doesn't
> look good. Suddenly, he motions frantically to the pastor for something
> to write on. The pastor lovingly hands him a pen and a piece of paper,
> and George uses his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then dies.
>
> The pastor thinks it best not to look at the note right away, so he
> places it in his jacket pocket.
>
> At George's funeral, as the pastor is finishing his eulogy, he realizes
> he's wearing the jacket he was wearing when George died.
>
> "George handed me a note just before he died," he says. "I haven't looked
> at it, but knowing George, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration in it
> for us all."
>
> Opening the note, he reads aloud, "Help! You're standing on my oxygen
tube"

> Rabbi Visit
>
> A pious man, who had reached the age of 105, suddenly stopped going to
> synagogue. Alarmed by the old fellow's absence after so many years of
> faithful attendance, the Rabbi went to see him. He found him in excellent
> health, so the Rabbi asked, "How come after all these years we don't see
you
> at services anymore?"
>
> The old man lowered his voice. "I'll tell you, Rabbi," he whispered. "When
I
> got to be 90, I expected God to take me any day. But then I got to be 95,
> then 100, then 105. So, I figured that God is very busy and must've
> forgotten about me, and I don't want to remind Him!"
