Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the *!@$ light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS DAMNED HOUSE!
I'm sorry.... What was the question?

The other night I was invited out for a night with the girls. I promised my
husband that I would be home by midnight. Well, the hours passed and the
margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded,
I grabed a cab and headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and
cuckooed three times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up,
I cuckooed another nine times. I was really proud of myself for
coming up with such a quick-witted solution (even when totally smashed) in
order to escape a possible conflict with him.
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in and I told him,
"Midnight." He didn't seem angry at all. Whew! Got away with that one!
Then he said, "We need a new cuckoo clock." When I asked him why, he said,
"Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, 'oh ****',
cuckooed four more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times,
giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and
farted.
The Seven Dwarfs go to the Vatican, and because they are the Seven
Dwarfs they get ushered into see the Pope. Dopey leads the pack.
"Dopey my son", says the Pope, "what can I do for you?"
Dopey asks, "Excuse me, Your Excellency, but are there any dwarf nuns in Rome?"
The Pope wrinkles his brow at the odd question, thinks for a moment
and answers, "No Dopey there are no dwarf nuns in Rome."
In the background a few of the dwarfs begin gi ggling.Dopeyturns
around and gives them a glare, silencing them. Dopey turns back to face the Pope.
"Your Worship, are there any dwarf nuns in all of Europe?"
The Pope, puzzled again, thinks for a moment and then answers, "No
Dopey, there are no dwarf nuns in all of Europe."
This time all of the dwarfs burst into laughter. Once again, Dopey turns and silences them all with an angry glare.
Dopey turns back to the Pope and says, "Mr. Pope, are there ANY
dwarf nuns in the whole world?"
The Pope answers, "I'm sorry my son, there are no dwarf nuns
anywhere in the world."
The other dwarfs collapse into a heap, rolling, and laughing, pounding the floor, tears rolling down their cheeks as they begin chanting......
"Dopey screwed a penguin!"
"Dopey screwed a penguin!"
This is totally PI (like Ilene's ), but what the ****. This is Alternachicks, right?
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. It represents a candle, he said.
You may pass through the pearly gates Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."
Saint Peter said you may pass through the pearly gates.
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
