two jokes:
A sloth was walking through the jungle one day when he was set upon by a gang
of vicious snails.  The snails left him bleeding and confused at the bottom of
a tree where several hours later he summoned the strength to go to the police
station and report the assault.  He was asked by the desk sergeant to describe
his attackers.  He replied, "I don't know what they looked like, it all
happened so fast."
    The Pope had just finished a tour of the East Coast and was taking a
limousine to the airport. Having never driven a limo, he asked the chauffeur if
he could drive for awhile. Well, the chauffeur didn't have much of a choice,
so he climbs in the back of the limo and the Pope takes the wheel.
    The Pope proceeds onto HWY 95, and starts accelerating to see what the limo
could do. He gets to about 90 mph, and suddenly he sees the blue lights of the
State Patrol in his mirror.
    He pulls over and the trooper comes to his window. The trooper, seeing who
it was, says, "Just a moment please, I need to call in."
    The trooper calls in and asks for the chief. He tells the chief that he's
got a REALLY important person pulled over, and how to handle it.
    "It's not Ted Kennedy again is it?" replies the chief.
    "No Sir!" replied the trooper, "This guy's more important."
    "Is it the Governor?" replied the chief.
    "No! Even more important!" replies the trooper.
    "Is it the PRESIDENT??? replied the chief.
    "No! Even more important!" replies the trooper.
    "Well, WHO IN THE WORLD is it?" screams the chief.
    "I don't know Sir." replies the trooper, "but he's got the Pope as his
chauffeur."

A Stockholm newspaper gave five stock analists the equivalent of $1250 each and

newsletter, pushed his holdings up an impressive 13 percent.  But the contest
also included a chimpanzee, who chose his stocks by using darts.  The chimp
improved his portfolio by 15 percent.

In England, it is illegal to sell most goods on a Sunday. (this law is mostly
ignored)  It is, however, legal to sell a carrot.  It is also legal to sell it

might want to buy on a Sunday.
