Who was the Two-person Comedy Team that made the most money in Film History?

If you guessed Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis or George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, bong: you are incorrect. Hint: this team spoofed and used drugs in their movies.

Look How Far We Have Come Since the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages, most of the peasant laborers could only serf their land to make a living while today most of the modern workers can surf the Internet to make a living.

In those days, the serfs then were "down" and today the surfs are "up," the serfs then were downtrodden and the surfs today are downloading.

Observations on Growing Older --WPOV (Woman's Point of View)

From e-mail - thanks, M.C.

• Your kids are becoming you….and you don’t like them!
  ….but your grandchildren are perfect!
• Yellow becomes the big color…walls…hair…teeth!
• Going out is good…coming home is better!
• When people say you look “Great”…they add “for your age”!
• You forget names but it’s OK because other people forgot they even knew you.
• You ask your husband or friend how your outfit looks and they tell you the truth!
• The five pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
• Your husband is counting on you to remember things you don’t remember.
• Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring then he does in bed. It’s called his “pre-sleep”
• Remember when your mother said “Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident”?…Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
• You used to say, “I hope my kids GET married. Now I hope they STAY married!
• You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch.
• You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you’ve read it.
• Everybody whispers.
• Now that your husband has retired, you’d give anything if he’d find a job!
• But…. old is good in some things: …. old songs …. old movies....
  And best of all OLD FRIENDS!!!!!

In case you have been vacationing on another planet for the last month, Rep Congressman Joe Wilson called President Obama a liar during an Obama speech.

Some humor in an email--thanks S.R. at NRG back east.


Thanks for Life Saving Advice

I just want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel.

I no longer have lemon slices in my ice water at a restaurant without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.

I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose (although cell phone usage may be overtaking the number one spot).

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.

I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on a public bathroom floor.

SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.

ALSO, I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl Penny Brown who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me..

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans.

I no longer use Saran Wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face... disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore , and Uzbekistan .

Flip Wilson December 8, 1933 – November 25, 1998

During the 1960s, Wilson became a regular at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and was a favorite guest on The Tonight Show, Laugh-In, and The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1970, Wilson got his own television program, The Flip Wilson Show, debuting on NBC. He played host to many African-American entertainers and performed in comedy sketches. He greeted all his guests with the "Flip Wilson Handshake," which started with hand slaps and progressed to hip-bumps. George Carlin was one of the show's writers along with him. His characters included Reverend Leroy, pastor of the Church of What’s Happening Now; and his most popular character, Geraldine, whose line “The devil made me do it” became a national expression.

In 1970, Wilson won a Grammy Award for his comedy album The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress.

Muhammed Ali born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., January 17, 1942

Ali's legacy

Muhammad Ali defeated every top heavyweight in his era, which has been called the golden age of heavyweight boxing. Ali was named "Fighter of the Year" by Ring Magazine more times than any other fighter, and was involved in more Ring Magazine "Fight of the Year" bouts than any other fighter. He is an inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and holds wins over seven other Hall of Fame inductees. He is also one of only three boxers to be named "Sportsman of the Year" by Sports Illustrated.

In 1978, three years before Ali's permanent retirement, the Board of Aldermen in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky voted 6–5 to rename Walnut Street to Muhammad Ali Boulevard. This was controversial at the time, as within a week 12 of the 70 street signs were stolen. Earlier that year, a committee of the Jefferson County Public Schools considered renaming Central High School in his honor, but the motion failed to pass. At any rate, in time, Muhammad Ali Boulevard—and Ali himself—came to be well accepted in his hometown.^[22]

In 1993, the Associated Press reported a Sports Marketing Group study that showed that Ali was tied with Babe Ruth as the most recognized athletes in America with over 97% of Americans identifying both Ruth and Ali.^[23]

He was the recipient of the 1997 Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

Note:

Arthur Robert Ashe, Jr. (July 10, 1943 – February 6, 1993) was a professional tennis player, born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. During his career, he won three Grand Slam titles, putting him among the best ever from the U.S. Ashe, an African American, is also remembered for his efforts to further social causes.

Joke in my E-Mail Box--

Warning: if you are offended by bra jokes, or religion jokes, or bar/religion jokes, STOP, do not past this point.

Southern Baptist Bra
>>
>> A man walks into the lingerie department of Macy's in New York City .
>>
>> He tells the sales lady, 'I would like a Baptist bra for my wife, size 34B.'
>>
>> With a quizzical look the sales lady asks, 'What kind of bra?'
>> He repeats, 'A Southern Baptist bra. My wife said to tell you that she
>> wanted a Southern Baptist bra, and that you would know what
>> she wanted.'
>>
>> 'Oh, yes, now I understand,' says the sales lady. 'We don't get as many
>> requests for them as we used to. Most of our customers lately want the
>> Catholic bra, the Salvation Army bra, or the Presbyterian
>> bra.'
>>
>> Confused, and a little flustered, the man asks, 'So, What are the

>>
>> The sales lady responds, 'It's really quite simple.
>> The Catholic bra supports the masses, the Salvation Army bra lifts up the
>> fallen, and the Presbyterian bra keeps them
>> staunch and upright.'
>>
>> He muses on that information for a minute and says, 'Hmm. I know I'll
>> regret asking, but what does the Baptist bra do?'
>>
>> 'Ah,' she replied, 'the Southern Baptist bra makes mountains out of

Peanuts/Bar Joke

From Reg in Texas


A man walks into a bar and sits down, orders a beer and sits drinking it. He hears a voice say "Nice tie." Looking around he sees nobody except the bartender. "Really cool shirt, too." says the voice. He thinks he must be losing his mind. Then he hears "I like your hair that way." He calls to the bartender and asks him if it's him saying these things. "No" says the bartender "it's the peanuts, they're complimentary".



Thanks, Reg
