-----A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen
you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine .."

" What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."

" Well, we were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm
fine now ."

" Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand ?"

" We were in another battle. I boarded a ship, and got into a sword
fight my hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really
.."

" What about that eye patch ?"

" Oh, one day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked
up, and one of them sh#t in my eye ."

" You're kidding," said the bartender, "you couldn't lose an eye just
from bird sh#t ."





" It was my first day with the hook"

I have everyone on Christmas list bought for EXCEPT my brother's new girlfriend and my niece. I have no idea what to get my brother's girlfriend because they have only been dating a short while, but I do want her to have something under the tree. She's in her thirties. Any ideas? Also, my niece is thirteen and I have no idea what to get her, either. Any ideas for either of them are appreciated! Thanks!

I was wondering what age you had to be to volunteer to be a big sister. I am very interested in the program. I already checked the website and entered my information, however, I did not find an age minimum. I thought that somebody who is currently enrolled in the program or had been previously might know. Thank you for your help. :)

what i mean is, it says in the bible that when you marry someone that you become one with them. if Jesus did marry Mary Magdeline, she would be the wife of God the Son/Jesus. if this was proved to be true by the Vatican, would the Catholic faith stop worshipping/honoring Mary, the mother of Jesus and start worshiping Mary Magdeline? P.S. THIS IS ONLY A RETORICAL QUESTION, I KNOW THAT JESUS WAS NEVER MARRIED AND HAD NO KIDS. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT YOUR VIEW ON IT IS. do you think Christianity would be different?

I am trying to figure out who and where do people celebrate St. Nick's.....I was raised in Milwaukee, WI, but now live in southern North Carolina and no one here has ever heard of it and they look at me like I'm growing a second head when I talk about it.

I will be attending a holiday party in a few weeks at a friends home. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any unique items that I may bring as a way to say thank you for inviting me. I know wine is customary, but i'm pretty sure that a) they already have wine in their fridge and b) people will be bringing wine to the party...so any other ideas...unusual or creative will be bonus points....thanks! PS-websites will also be helpful!

Could someone furnish me with clarification on how it is that right wing Christians condone and support a "Holy War" or as the Prez has termed it (Crusade) in the killing of thousands of innocent children and women by our troops in Iraq, especially in light of the fact that the 9/11 Commission and various members of the Republican leadership have determined Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11? I am unable to find or discern any passages in the New and Old Testaments of my Good Book, where Jesus would have ordered the murdering of innocent children and women in His Good Name. Is it possible that there is a Christian bible out there that includes chapters where Jesus orders the killing of the innocent in His name? The 1st ed of the KJB included 11 commandments whereby reformed Protestants were to obey thy Monarch, but even they did not accept this edition at it was revised back to Moses' original 10. Many thanks. Please remain objective; fundamentalists need not reply. Thank u.

Please can somebody tell me, in scientific terms, just how Father Christmas (that's "Santa Claus") actually manages to distribute all those toys in one night using just a sleigh and some reindeers? And how does he get into houses without chimneys? No-one has ever adequately explained this to me.

Please - no flippant answers like "it's magic"... We are not talking Harry Potter here, are we?

My Aunt has invited me to dinner. The main course is red beans and rice( which I love!) but the problem is that she cooks pork sausage in the beans. How can I get through the dinner without hurting her feelings. (Canceling is not an option)

My Pasto preached an awesome message on Is it Vain to Serve the Lord. I don't think it's vain at all to serve the Lord at All, I enjoy serving God. I just want to know what everyone else has to say and why they say what they say and to give their own testimonies. I would really appreciate it, THANKS!!!!

I mean every single holiday. Rosh Hasshana, Ramadan, Diwalli, Christmas oh, and the SABBATH. You see, GOD demanded that we rest one day a week. That's religious. So that means we work 7/365 all the time. Paid vacations aren't religious so they are still and employer option. What does everyone thing, especially those opposed to Christmas and Atheists?
