			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An old farmer decides to go to town and see a movie. He is about to  pay for his ticket when the ticket agent asks, &#8220;Sir, what&#8217;s that on your  shoulder?&#8221;  &#8220;This is my pet rooster, Chuck. Wherever I go, Chuck goes&#8221; answers the old farmer.  &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, sir, but we can&#8217;t allow animals in  the theater.&#8221;</p>
<p>Disappointed, the old farmer goes around the corner and  stuffs Chuck down his overalls. He then returns to the booth, buys a  ticket and enters the theater. He sits down next to two old widows named  Mildred and Marge.</p>
<p>The movie is about to start when the rooster begins to squirm. The  old farmer unbuttons his fly so Chuck can stick his head out and watch  the movie.</p>
<p>&#8220;Marge&#8221; whispers Mildred, &#8220;I think the guy next to me is a  pervert.&#8221;  &#8220;What makes you think so?&#8221; asks a shocked Marge.  &#8220;He undid his  pants and he has his thing out.&#8221;  &#8220;Well, don&#8217;t worry about it&#8221; assures  Marge, &#8220;at our age we&#8217;ve seen &#8216;em all.&#8221;  &#8220;I thought so, too&#8221; fires back  Mildred, &#8220;but this one&#8217;s eating my popcorn!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were two evil brothers. They were rich and used their money to  keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church  and looked to be perfect Christians. After some time, their pastor  retired and a new one was hired. Not only could this new pastor see  right through the brothers&#8217; deception, he also spoke well and true, and  the church started to swell in numbers.</p>
<p>A fund-raising campaign was even  started to build a new assembly. Time came when one of the brothers  died. The remaining brother sought out the new pastor the day before the  funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying  for the new building. &#8220;I have only one condition&#8221; he said. &#8220;At his  funeral, you must say my brother was a saint.&#8221;  The pastor gave his word and deposited the check. The next day at the  funeral, the pastor carried out the rites. &#8220;He was an evil man&#8221; he  said. &#8220;He cheated on his wife and abused his family. But, compared to  his brother, he was a saint.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To celebrate their 7th anniversary, a man and his wife spend a weekend at an exclusive golf resort. He is a pretty good golfer, but she only just started. When they head down to the golf course after a lavish lunch and a bottle of champagne, they notice a beautiful mansion a couple hundred yards behind the first hole.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lets be extra careful, honey,&#8221; the husband says. &#8220;If we damage that house over there, it&#8217;ll cost us a fortune.&#8221;</p>
<p>The wife nods, tees off, and- bang!- sends the ball through the window of the mansion.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jesus Christ,&#8221; the husband says, &#8220;I told you to watch out for that house. Alright, lets go up there, and apologize and see what the damage is.&#8221;</p>
<p>They walk up to the house and knock on the door.</p>
<p>&#8220;Come on in,&#8221; a voice in the house says.</p>
<p>The couple open the door and enter the foyer. The living room is a mess. There are pieces of glass all over the floor and a broken bottle near the window. A man sits on the couch.</p>
<p>When the couple enter the room, he gets up and asks,&#8221;Are you the ones who just broke my window?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Um, yeah,&#8221; the husband says, &#8220;Sorry about that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Not at all, it&#8217;s me who has to thank you. I&#8217;m a genie and I was trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. To show my gratitude I&#8217;m allowed to grant each of you a wish. But- I&#8217;ll require one favor in return.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Really? That&#8217;s great!&#8221; the husband says. &#8220;I want a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No problem, that&#8217;s the least that I could do. And you, what do you want?&#8221; the Genie asks, looking at the wife.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want a house in every country of the world,&#8221; the wife says.</p>
<p>The Genie smiles, &#8220;Consider it done.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And what&#8217;s this favor we must grant in return, Genie?&#8221; the husband asks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well since I&#8217;ve been trapped in that stupid bottle for the last thousand years, I haven&#8217;t had sex with a woman for a very long time. My wish is to sleep with your wife.&#8221;</p>
<p>The husband scratches his head, looks at the wife and says, &#8220;Well, we did get a lot of money and all of those houses, honey. I guess I&#8217;m fine with it if it&#8217;s alright with you.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Genie and the wife disappear in a room upstairs and make love for an hour, while the husband stays in the living room.</p>
<p>When they are done, the genie rolls over, and looks at the wife and asks, &#8220;How old is your husband exactly is your husband?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;31,&#8221; she replies.</p>
<p>&#8220;And he still believes in genies? That&#8217;s amazing!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple had two mischievous boys, ages 8 and 10. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town their sons would get the blame.</p>
<p>The boys&#8217; mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful at disciplining children. So she asked if he would speak to her boys. The clergyman agreed and asked to speak to them individually.</p>
<p>So, the mother sent the 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.</p>
<p>The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked very sternly, &#8220;Where is God?&#8221;</p>
<p>The boys mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open.</p>
<p>The clergyman repeated the question, &#8220;Where is God?&#8221;</p>
<p>Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.</p>
<p>So, the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in the boys face and bellowed, &#8220;Where is God?!&#8221;</p>
<p>The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.</p>
<p>When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, &#8220;What happened?&#8221;</p>
<p>The younger brother gasping for breath, replied, &#8220;We are in real BIG trouble this time! God is missing, and they think we did it!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A man was in a long queue at his local supermarket.</p>
<p>As he got to the register he realized he had forgotten to get condoms, so he asked the checkout girl if she could have some brought up to the register.</p>
<p>She asked, &#8220;What size condoms?&#8221;</p>
<p>The customer replied that he didn&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>She asked him to drop his trousers, reached over the counter, grabbed hold of him and called over the intercom: &#8220;One box of large condoms, Till 5&#8243;.</p>
<p>The next man in line thought this was interesting, and like most of us was up for a cheap thrill.Â  When he got up to the register, he told the cashier that he too had forgotten to get condoms, and asked if she could have some brought to the register for him.</p>
<p>She asked him what size, and he stated that he didn&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>She asked him to drop his trousers, gave him a quick feel, picked up the intercom microphone and said: &#8220;One box of medium sized condoms, Till 5&#8243;.</p>
<p>A few customers back was this teenage boy.Â  He thought what he had seen was way too cool.Â  He had never had any type of sexual contact with a woman, so he thought this was his chance.</p>
<p>When he got to the checkout he told the girl he needed some condoms.</p>
<p>She asked him what size and he said he didn&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>She asked him to drop his trousers, reached over the counter, gave him a quick squeeze then picked up the Intercom and said&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Mop and bucket, till 5.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God said &#8220;Adam, I want you to do something for me&#8221;.</p>
<p>Adam said &#8220;Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?&#8221;</p>
<p>God said &#8220;Go down into that valley&#8221;.</p>
<p>Adam replied &#8220;What&#8217;s a valley?&#8221;</p>
<p>God explained it to him.Â  Then He said &#8220;Cross the river&#8221;.</p>
<p>Adam said &#8220;What&#8217;s a river?&#8221;</p>
<p>God explained that to him too, and then said &#8220;Go over to the hill&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Adam asked &#8220;What is a hill?&#8221;</p>
<p>So, God explained to Adam what a hill was. He told Adam &#8220;On the other side of the hill you will find a cave&#8221;.</p>
<p>Adam said &#8220;What&#8217;s a cave?&#8221;</p>
<p>After God explained, he said &#8220;In the cave you will find a woman&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s a woman?&#8221; asked Adam.</p>
<p>So God explained that to him too.Â  Then, God said &#8220;I want you to reproduce&#8221;.</p>
<p>Adam responded &#8220;How do I do that?&#8221;</p>
<p>God first said (under his breath), &#8220;Geez&#8230;..!&#8221;Â  And then, just like everything else, God explained that to Adam as well.</p>
<p>So, Adam goes down into the valley, across the river, and over the hill, into the cave, and finds the woman.Â  Then, in about five minutes, he was back.Â  God, his patience wearing thin, said angrily, &#8220;What is it now?&#8221;</p>
<p>And Adam said &#8220;What&#8217;s a headache?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dan went to his appointment with the urologist. In the examining room he told the doctor, &#8220;Don&#8217;t laugh!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course I won&#8217;t laugh,&#8221; the doctor said. &#8220;I&#8217;m a professional. In more than twenty years I&#8217;ve never laughed at a patient.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay then,&#8221; Dan said, and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest willy the doctor had ever seen. It wasn&#8217;t any bigger than a triple A battery.</p>
<p>Unable to control himself, the doctor started giggling, then fell to the floor laughing hysterically. Ten minutes later he was able to struggle to his feet and regain his composure.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so sorry,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I really am. I don&#8217;t know what came over me. On my honour as a doctor and a gentleman, I promise it won&#8217;t happen again. Now, what seems to be the problem?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s swollen,&#8221; Dan replied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear, or are about to repeat a rumor.</p>
<p>In ancient Greece (469 &#8211; 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.Â  One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance that ran up to him excitedly and said, &#8216;Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Wait a moment,â€ Socrates replied. &#8216;Before you tell me, I&#8217;d like you to pass a little test. It&#8217;s called the Test of Three.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Test of Three?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;That&#8217;s correct,&#8217; Socrates continued. &#8216;Before you talk to me about my student, let&#8217;s take a moment to test what you&#8217;re going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;No,&#8217; the man replied, &#8216;actually I just heard about it.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;All right,&#8217; said Socrates. &#8216;So you don&#8217;t really know if it&#8217;s true or not.Â  Now let&#8217;s try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;No, to the contrary&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;So,&#8217; Socrates continued, &#8216;you want to tell me something bad about him even though you&#8217;re not certain it&#8217;s true?&#8217;</p>
<p>The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, &#8216;You may still pass though because there is a third test, the filter of Usefulness.Â  Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;No, not really.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Well,&#8217; concluded Socrates, &#8216;if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?&#8217;</p>
<p>The man was defeated and ashamed, and said no more.</p>
<p>This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.</p>
<p>It also explains why Socrates never found out that Plato was banging his wife.</p>
