Two boys are playing football in Central Park when one is attacked by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips off a board of the nearby fence, wedges it down the dogs collar and twists, breaking the dogs neck.

A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy.

Young Giants Fan Saves Friend From Viciou Animal, he starts writing in his notebook.

But Im not a Giants fan, the little hero replied.

Sorry, since we are in New York, I just assumed you were. said the reporter and starts again.

Little Jets Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack he continued writing in his notebook.

Im not a Jets fan either, the boy said.

I assumed everyone in New York was either for the Giants or Jets.

What team do you root for? the reporter asked.

Im a Cowboys fan. the child said.

Perestroika

From a recent Time magazine:

A Russian walks into a bar and orders a beer. That will be
one ruble, says the bartender. One ruble! the customer protests,
last week it was only fifty kopeks! Well, replies the bartender,
its fifty kopeks for the beer and fifty kopeks for the perestroika.
Reluctantly, the customer gives the bartender a ruble, and is surprised
when the bartender gives him back fifty kopeks and says, We are
out of beer.

Cannibals

A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a New Yorker were captured by cannibals. The chief comes to them and says, the bad news is that now that weve caught you, were going to kill you. We will put you in a pot and cook you, eat you, and then use your skins to build a canoe. The good news is that you get to choose how you die.

The Frenchman says, I take ze sword. the chief gives him a sword, he shouts,Vive la France! and runs himself through.

The Englishman says, a pistol for me, please. The chief gives him a pistol, he points it at his head, says, God save the queen! and pulls the trigger.

The New Yorker says, gimme the fawkin fork. the chief is puzzled, but he shrugs and gives him a fork. The new Yorker takes the fork and starts jabbing himself all over–the stomach, the sides, the chest, everywhere. Theres blood gushing out all over, its horrible.

The chief is appalled, and asks, my God almighty, what are you doing?

The New Yorker says, so much for your canoe, you stupid asshole!

Restoring her youth!

After her fifth child, Lucy decided that she should have some cosmetic surgery down below to restore herself to her former youthful glory.



Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned that, with five children now being the limit, shed tidy things with a nip here and a tuck there.



Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three roses at the end of the bed.



Who are these from ? she asked the nurse, Theyre very nice but Im a bit confused as to why Ive received them.



Well said the nurse, The first is from the surgeon – the operation went so well and you were such a model patient that he wanted to say thanks.



Ahhh, thats really nice said Lucy.



The second is from your husband – hes delighted the operation was such a success that he cant wait to get you home. Apparently itll be the first time hes touched the sides for years and hes very excited!



Brilliant! said Lucy. And the third?



Thats from Eric in the burns unit said the nurse.

He just wanted to say thanks for his new ears!
