Jake was on his deathbed. His wife, Susan, was maintaining a vigil by
his side. She held his fragile hand, and tears ran down her face. Her
praying roused him from his slumber. He looked up and his pale lips
began to move slightly.

"My darling Susan," he whispered.

"Hush, my love," she said. "Rest. Don't talk."

He was insistent. "Susan," he said in his tired voice. "I have
something I must confess to you."

"There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping
Susan. "Everything's all right, go to sleep."

"No, no. I must die in peace, Susan. I slept with your sister, your
best friend, and your mother."

"I know," she replied. "That's why I poisoned you."

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On
their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle; I'm still a
virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married
ten times?"
"Well, Husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how
great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was
supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from Field Services; he said everything checked out
diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
Husband #4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order,
he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an Engineer; he understood the basic process but wanted
three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from Finance and Administration; he thought he knew how,
but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in Marketing; although he had a nice product, he was
never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychiatrist; all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he did was look at it.
Husband#10 was a stamp collector; all he ever did was.... God! I miss
him!!!

But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the lawyer, "but, why?"

"Duh! You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

BUMBLE BEE
One day a young husband and wife were in their bedroom
making love.
All of a sudden a bumble bee entered the bedroom window. As
the wife parted her legs, the bee entered her vagina. She started
screaming, "Oh my God help me, there's a bee in my vagina!"

The husband immediately took her to the local doctor and
explained the situation.
The doctor thought for a moment and  said, "Hmm, tricky situation. But I have a solution to the problem if both of you agree."
The husband being very concerned, agreed that the doctor could
use whatever method to get the bee out of his wife's vagina.
The doctor said, "OK, what I'm gonna do is rub some honey over
the head of my penis and insert it into your wife's vagina. When I
feel the bee getting closer to the tip of my penis I shall
withdraw it and the bee should hopefully follow my penis out
of your wife's vagina.
" The husband nodded and gave his approval. The wife said,
"Yes, yes, whatever, just get on with it." So the doctor, after
covering the tip of his penis with honey, inserted it into the young
lady's vagina.

After a few gentle strokes, the doctor said, "I don't think
the bee has noticed the honey yet. Perhaps I should go a bit
deeper.
"So the doctor went deeper and deeper. After a while the
doctor began shafting the young woman very hard indeed.
She began to quiver with excitement, she began to moan and
groan.
Oh doctor, doctor," she wailed.
The doctor, concentrating very hard, looked like he was
enjoying himself, and then put his hands on the young lady's breasts
and started making loud noises.
The husband at this point suddenly became very annoyed and
shouted, "Now wait a minute, what the hell do you think
you're doing?"


The doctor, still concentrating, replied, "Change of plan, I'm
gonna drown the bastard."
