Q: How do you get the entire state of Kentucky into the Ohio River?

A: … throw in a quarter.

Q: How do you get the entire state of Kentucky *out* of the Ohio River?

A: … throw in a bar of soap.

In reference to Santa is a woman: Santa is a man.

It is precisely because Christmas is an organized, warm, fuzzy, nurturing social deal that Santa has to be a man. Delegation … thats the key. Just imagine if a woman was trying to delegate all of those tasks and obligations to her underlings. Christmas would be as ambiguous as the spring equinox. Nobody would know what day of the year we were going to celebrate it on.

It takes a man to organize a commercial event as huge as Christmas. What with the ads, the parades, the football, and (usually) the basketball, the sheer immensity of the task would overwhelm most females. Wed have to plan football schedules around lunch instead of the other way around. Or worse yet … there might not be any football at all. (Shudder) Thats a scary thought.

If Santa was a female, the toys might never be delivered. It would take a she Santa until New Years Eve to get dressed (for the third time) and out of the bathroom. And just try harnessing those reindeer with freshly painted nails. Never happen. Once she got underway, shed be too busy talking on the cell phone to her girl friends to get all the way around the world to every girl and boys house in a single year, let alone a single night.

If Santa was female, the whole idea of gift giving would be unrecognizable. Everybody would get socks, or ties, or aftershave, or fuzzy slippers every year. There would be none of the noise making, shoot em up, battery operated windfalls that kids love. Bicycles would all come complete with helmets and knee pads. And training wheels so nobody could get hurt. Toy soldiers would be replaced by books on improving ones self esteem. Christmas just wouldnt be the same.

Ill tell you another reason why Santa has to be a man (AND a football fan). Look at the names of his reindeer … Dasher, Comet, Blitzen … If those arent male names for football players, than Im an elf.

And if that isnt proof enough, consider the following:

Santa Claus could never have been a woman! Who else but a man would:

Be really generous once a year,
Be totally uninvolved the other 11 months,
(And 29 days, well give him Christmas Eve & Day),

And yet think he was a saint?

And the clincher: No woman is going to wear the same outfit, year after year.

What is a blondes way of having safe sex?

Locking the car doors!

A man moves from Ireland to New York City, leaving two of his best friends behind to make it in America. To keep their tradition of nightly drinks alive, every night he goes into an Irish-style pub and orders three pints. The bartender, after a month of this, becomes curious, and asks the man what hes doing. Touched by the story, the bartender has the 3 pints ready for the man every time he comes in. One day, the man tells the bartender to only give him 2 pints.

"My condolences," says the bartender, thinking that one of the mans friends has died.

"No, no," says the man, "theyre both still alive. Ive just quit drinking."

On opening his new store, a man received a bouquet of flowers. He became dismayed on reading the enclosed card, that it expressed Deepest Sympathy.

While puzzling over the message, his telephone rang. It was the florist, apologizing for having sent the wrong card. Oh, its alright. said the storekeeper. Im a businessman and I understand how these things can happen.

But, added the florist, I accidentally sent your card to a funeral party. Well, what did it say? ask the storekeeper. Congratulations on your new location. was the reply.

A guy calls home from work and a strange woman answers the phone. The guy says, Who is this? This is the maid, answers the woman. We dont have a maid! I was just hired this morning by the lady of the house. Oh. Well, this is her husband. Is she there? Ummm… shes upstairs in the bedroom with someone whom I just naturally figured was her husband. Hed always suspected, but now he knows. He says to the maid, Listen, would you like to make $50,000? What do I have to do? I want you to get my gun from the desk in the den and shoot that witch and the jerk shes with. $50,000? Really? Yes. The maid puts down the phone. The guy hears footsteps, followed by a couple of gunshots. The maid comes back to the phone. What should I do with the bodies? Throw them in the swimming pool! What pool? Uhhh . . . is this 832-4821?

You might be a redneck if…
Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night involves putting on shoes and a jacket and grabbing a flashlight.

The line in front of the Butcher shop in Warsaw is long,
indeed, and the people grow weary, ever more weary, of the wait.
Eventually an official comes out and announces We are very low
on meat; all Jews must leave the line. So the Jews in the line
quit the queue and head for home, empty-handed.

After some more of a wait the same official reappears
and announces, We are even lower on meat that we thought. All
non-party members must leave the line. So all the non-card-carrying
members standing in line begin heading for home, equally empty-handed.

After some more time the official appears to declare All
Serbs and Croats must leave the line; we havent enough meat for
you. Disappointed, they leave the line and wander off.

Well, you guessed it: a bit later the same official appears
and informs the remaining people Unfortunately we have run out of
meat entirely – you may as well all go home, and disappears back
into the store.

Isnt that just the way it always is, mutters one old man
as he departs. Those damn Jews get all the breaks!

Sally, a blonde, goes on her first camping trip. Her husband, who was a Scout Leader, was sick so she volunteered to take over for him one weekend. She got everyone together and assigned different duties to each scout.

Gabby was responsible for the food supplies, Mike would be the cook this trip, Johnnie was responsible for their maps and making up a time schedule, Tim was to decide on their events, and to fit them into Johnnies schedule and Sally would test all their equipment before setting out.

They arrived at Big Moose Mountain and everyone was excited. They arrived right on schedule and were getting ready for their first event – hiking up the mountain. But first, they wanted to get something to eat. So Sally asked Mike if he would prepare the meal and, of course, Mike said he would.

About 10 minutes later he came back and told Sally, I cant make the supper. I cant light a fire with the matches you brought.

Sally replied, I dont understand! Those matches should be perfectly fine. I tested them all just before we left.
