During a performance of a school nativity play at the local theatre, a large crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the stage. At the performance progressed, the crack became bigger and bigger until it finally developed into a hole.

Everyone else managed to avoid it but when young Johnny stepped forward as one of the Wise Men, he plunged straight through the hole.

Friday, February 8, 2008 -- The Camels

A baby camel turned to its father and asked, "Dad, why do we have humps on our back?"

"Well, son," replied the father, "our humps contain the fat necessary to sustain us through all the days when we're out in the desert."

"Oh," said the baby camel. "Dad, why do we have long eyelashes?"

"They're to protect our eyes from the sandstorms which rage in the desert."

"Fine, Dad, why do we have big padded feet?"

"Because, son, the sand in the desert is very soft and we need big feet so that we can walk on the sand without sinking."

"Thanks Dad. So what are we doing in the London Zoo?"

Monday, February 11, 2008 -- First Year Vet Students

First-year students at Texas A&M's Vet school were receiving their first anatomy class, with a real dead cow. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The Professor started the class by telling them, "In Vet Medicine it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the animal body."

For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the dead cow, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.

The students freaked out and hesitated for several minutes. But eventually they took turns sticking a finger in the anal opening of the dead cow and sucking on it.

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and said, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention. Life's tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid."

"No, she's broke."

"Well then, is it sex?"

"Nope,... nobody does it like you, babe."

"Then what is it?? What can she do for you that I can't?"

"She can sue me for child support!"

A middle-aged woman was driving through a school zone when a policeman pulled her over for speeding. As he was giving her the ticket, she said, "How come I always get a ticket and everyone else gets a warning? Am I too flat, or is it my face?"

Friday, February 15, 2008 -- The Usual Drink

A doctor was in the habit of stopping off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew his habit but one day was dismayed to find that he was clean out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made of hickory nuts and placed it on the bar in readiness for the doctor's arrival.

When the doctor turned up, he took one sip of the drink and exclaimed, "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!"

"No, I'm sorry," replied the bartender, "it's a hickory daiquiri, doc."

Friday, February 29, 2008 -- Golf Deduction

Taking advantage of a balmy day in New York, a priest and three other men of the cloth swapped their clerical garb for polos and khakis and time out on the golf course. After several really horrible shots, their caddy asked, "You guys wouldn't be priests by any chance?"

"Actually, yes, we are," one cleric replied. "How did you know?"

"Easy," said the caddy, "I've never seen such bad golf and such clean language!"
