Joke of the Week --- November 1, 2009
A woman pregnant with triplets was walking down the street when a masked robber ran out of a bank and shot her three times in the stomach.. Luckily the babies were OK. The surgeon decided to leave the bullets in because it was too risky to operate. She gave birth to two healthy daughters and a healthy son.
All was fine for 16 years and then one daughter walked into the room in tears... 'What's wrong?' asked the mother. 'I was taking a tinkle and this bullet came out,' replied the daughter.
The mother told her it was okay and explained what happened 16 years ago.
About a week later the second daughter walked into the room in tears. 'Mom, I was taking a tinkle and this bullet came out.' Again, the mother told her not to worry and explained what happened 16 years ago.
A week later her son walked into the room in tears...
'It's okay' said the Mom, 'I know what happened You were taking a tinkle and a bullet came out.'
'No,' said the boy, 'I was playing with myself and I shot the dog.'

Street Gangs in Helena, Montana
Its gangs like these that the people of Helena have to put up with...
A bit different from the problems in other cities...
It proves that every State has their own "unique" gang problems.
They roam the streets and yards night and day.
They hang out in even the best neighborhoods!
....and you CAN NOT(legally) shoot them..
Highest position in the world
Do you know who holds the highest position in the world?
President Barack Obama?
Nope.
Pope Benedict?
Nope.
The Dalai Lama?
Nope.
Do you want to see WHO that person is ?
Do you want to see WHO that person is ?
Until Now....
Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India, is the cult hero of Dubai 's army of construction workers.
Known as the "Indian on the top of the world", Babu is the crane operator at the world ' s tallest building, the 819-meter Burj Dubai.
His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home.
It takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile - although, when the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest..
Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai 's workers.
Some say he has been up there for more than a year, others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month.
But everyone agrees, he's worth it - because nobody else would have the courage to do the job!
Zero Tolerance Speed Cameras
New Minnesota Highways Zero Tolerance Speed Camera
With the Minniesota highway death toll continuing to increase, this will be the first year that Zero Tolerance Speed Cameras will be used. The new cameras look a bit different than normal speed surveillance cameras. I have included a photo so that you will know what to look for as you're traveling around our great state. Make sure you do not speed when approaching one. Please take this warning seriously as these new devices offer no warnings or second chances. Happy motoring!

Peter Davies and the Elephant
This is an Incredible story!
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from the University of Toronto .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Toronto Zoo with his teenaged son.
As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.
The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.
He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.
