I'm sad. I tried to post a joke but it wouldnt let me say the world f-a-n-n-y. I never thought of that as a bad word...and it was a cute joke, too. Oh well. It was just a woman's name too...like the first name, you know? Hmmm.

Well try it again and separate the word like you just did! I'm sure it will be funny and sure to make many laugh!

I put this on another thread...I should have thought and put it on here before

Ode To Arizona

The Devil wanted a place on earth.
Sort of a summer home.
A place to spend his vacation
Whenever he wanted to roam.

So he picked out Arizona.
A place both wretched and rough.
Here the climate was to his liking
And the cowboys were hardened and tough.

He dried up the streams in the canyons
and ordered no rain to fall:
He dried up the lakes in the valleys,
Then baked and scorched it all.

Then over his barren desert
He transplanted shrubs from Hell.
The cactus, thistle and prickly pear --
The climate suited them well.

Now, the home was much to his liking.
But animal life, he had none:
So he created crawling creatures
That all mankind would shun.

First he made the rattlesnake.
With its forked poisonous tongue:
Taught it to strike and rattle
And how to swallow its young.

Then he made Scorpions and Lizards
And the ugly old Horned Toad.
He placed spiders of every description
Under rocks by the side of the road.

Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter.
Hotter and hotter still.
Until even the cactus wilted
And the old Horned Toad looked ill.

Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom.
As any creator would:
He chuckled a little up his sleeve
And admitted that it was good.

'Twas summer now and Satan lay
By a prickly pear to rest.
The sweat rolled off his wearthy brow.
So he took off his coat and vest.

"By Golly," he finally panted
"I did my job too well.
I'm going back where I came from
Arizona is hotter than Hell!"

Okay, here we go>keep in mind, some of the beliefs represented in the joke are not my own but it's still a funny one.

Three couples died while vacationing together and found themselves standing before the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said to the first man:

"Why do you think you deserve to be let into heaven?"

"Well", said the first husband "I was a good man and I went to church every Sunday."

"Yes, " acknowledged St. Peter, "But you were also a miser. You were so stingy that you even married a woman named Penny. You must spend some time in purgatory."

As the first man led his wife down the path to purgatory, the second man approached Peter.

" I know I deserve to live in heaven. " he said "I was definitely not stingy. I was generous and I sent all my children to college."

"Indeed. " said Peter "but you also were an alcoholic. You loved drinking so much that you married a woman named Sherry. You too must go to purgatory."

As the 2nd couple began to follow the first couple down the path, Peter turned to the 3rd man only to see that he was already following the others, leading his wife by the hand.

"You aren't going to state your case as well, my brother?" asked Peter.

"Nah. C'mon F-a-n-n-y. "

(Now, I think it loses something spelling the name out that way but it's the only way I could post my joke.) LOL

Becoming Illegal (Actual letter from an Iowa resident and sent to his
senator)

The Honorable Tom Harkin
731 HartSenateOfficeBuilding
Phone (202) 224 3254
WashingtonDC, 20510

Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue
Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have
contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine
the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S.Citizen to
illegal alien stems from the bill which was
recently passed by the. Senate and for which you voted. If my
understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal
alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to
do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for
three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I
am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.

Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay
taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two
years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way
that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an
excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes
in2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local
emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I
have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant
figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter
would receive preferential treatment relative to
her law school applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for
many colleges throughout the United States for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the
burden of renewing my driver's license and making those
burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given
that I still have college age children driving my car.

If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become
illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the
necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your
assistance.

Your Loyal Constituent,
Donald Ruppert
Burlington, IA


Not sure if this is funny or just plain sad!
