A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials put up a ten foot fence. He was out the next morning, just roaming around the zoo.
A twenty foot fence was put up. Again he got out.
When the fence was forty feet high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo,
How high do you think theyll go?
The kangaroo said, About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night!

Several tributes to the concept of Biodiversity were presented at the Ig Nobel ceremony. Thirteen-year old Kate Eppers, spokesperson for the Committee for Bacterial Rights, said:
We live in a diverse society. Our biggest ethnic groups are not the Asians, the Africans or the Caucasians. Our biggest ethnic groups are the Bacteria. I used to wash my hands every day. My mom made me. But then I learned about ethnic cleansing. Every time you wash your hands, you wipe out billions and billions of Bacteria. Thats not fair. Bacteria have rights, too. So lets be grown-ups about this. When mom asks you to wash your hands, just say No.

Dos maricas conversan por teléfono:
¿Lalo?
SÃ, Betito.
Oye, ¿y tú le sigues dando a pesar de todo el peligro que hay?
¡Ay, sÃ! Yo le doy con todo el que me lo pida, cariño…
Pero, ¿y no te da miedo eso del SIDA?
¡Ay, sÃ, pero no hay otra alternativa!
¿Por qué?
Porque si das el culo, te da SIDA, y si no lo das… ¡Se te oxida!
How did the sand get wet?

It was that time during the Sunday morning service for the childrens sermon, and all the children were invited to come forward.
One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said to her, That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?
The little girl replied, directly into the pastors clip-on microphone, Yes, and my Mom says its a Bitch to iron.
Collards is green, my dogs name is Blue, and Im so lucky to have a sweet thang like you.
Yore hair is like corn silk a-flapping in the breeze, softer than Blues and without all them fleas.
You move like the bass, which excite me in May, you aint got no scales but I luv you anyway.
Yore as satisfyn as okry, jist a-fryn in the pan, yore as fragrant as snuff right out of the can.
You have somea yore teeth, for which I am proud, I hold my head high when were in a crowd.
On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms, well, Im in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms.
Still them fellers at work, they all want to know, what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe.
Like a good roll of duct tape yore there fer yore man, to patch up lifes troubles and fix what you can.
Yore as cute as a June bug a-buzzin overhead, you aint mean like those far ants I found in my bed.
Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt, you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt.
When you hold me real tight like a padded gun rack, my life is complete; aint nuttin I lack.
Yore complexion, its perfection, like the best vinyl sidin, despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin.
Me n yous like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank, we go together like a skunk goes with stank.
Some men, they buy chocolate, they git it at Wal-Mart, its romantic that way.
Some men git roses on that special day, from the cooler at Kroger. Thats impressive, I say.
Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth, diamonds are forever, they explain, suave and couth.
But for this man, honey, these wont do, cause yore too special, you sweet thang you.
I got you a gift, without taste nor odor, more useful than diamonds… ITS A NEW TROLLIN MOTOR!!
Luv, BUBBA

Overheard at the White House Super Bowl XXXII party:
For the last time, Bill. Its not pronounced Triple-X? Aye, aye!
You might be a redneck if…
You think a turtleneck is a key ingredient in soup.
