One weekend, the husband is in the bathroom shaving when the kid he hired to mow his lawn, a local kid named Bubba, comes in to pee. The husband slyly looks over and is shocked at how immensely endowed Bubba is. He can't help himself, and asks Bubba what his secret is.

"Well," says Bubba, "every night before I climb into bed with a girl, I whack my p***s on the bedpost three times. It works, and it sure impresses the girls!"

The husband was excited at this easy suggestion and decided to try it that very night. So before climbing into bed with his wife, he took out his p***s and whacked it three times on the bedpost. His wife, half-asleep, said, "Bubba? Is that you?"

"And sometimes when you're on, you're really ******* on
And your friends, they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems ******* cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence"

for our governments inability to manage the security of it's departments. Case in question: The ombudsman has found major fraud security issue's in the Road Traffic Authority. They propose to lower the period a licence is valid for before you have to renew it. If they reduce it from 10 to 5 years then they have doubled their revenue on licence renewal. Why the hell should we suffer for their inability to provide fraud security? So we all feel their doing us a favour, they plaster Tony Mokbel ( and how he obtained a fraudulant licence ) over the story to make you feel it's worth paying more.

One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leave her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems OK, but after a while she slowly starts to fall over sideways in her chair.
Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning.
Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home. They ask, "So, Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"
"It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."

I grew up in the 90's and my brother and I remember watching a show that might have aired on PBS.

- It incorporated puppets and real children and there might have been an adult shop owner, too.
- It's likely that all the puppets were rats.
- The setting was a either a bookstore or a train station.
- Each episode seemed to take place after the shop/train station had closed for the day.
- It came on after-school, before or after Reading Rainbow.

I really hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!!!

A young girl hadn't been feeling well, so she went to her family doctor. The doctor ran some tests and then told her she was pregnant.

The girl said, "I can't be! The only men I've been around are nudists from my colony and we only practice sex with our eyes."

"Well, my dear," said the doctor. "Someone in that colony must be cockeyed."

Three sisters decided to get married on the same day to save their parents the expense of separate weddings. As a further step to reduce the price tag, the three sisters resolved to spend their honeymoon night at home.

Later that night, their mother couldn't sleep, so she went to the kitchen for a cup of tea.

On her way, she tiptoed by her oldest daughter's bedroom and heard her screaming.

The mother thought to herself, "That's normal, especially on her wedding night."

She snuck by her second oldest daughter's room and heard her laughing.

"That's normal too," she said, smiling to herself.

Finally, she slipped by her youngest daughter's room where she didn't hear a peep, but she thought nothing of it.

The next morning in the kitchen, after the husbands had gone out, the woman asked her eldest daughter about last night's noises. "Well Mom," she replied, "you always said if it hurt I should scream."

"You're absolutely right sweetheart," the mother assured her, turning to her middle daughter. "Now why were you laughing?" she asked.

"You always said if it tickled, I could laugh," she answered.

"True enough, honey." The mother smiled, remembering her newlywed days. "Now it's your turn, baby," she said turning to her youngest daughter. "Why was it so quiet in your room last night?"

"Mom, don't you remember? You always told me never to talk with my mouth full."
