Comedian 12

 Two bees ran into each other. One asked the other how things were going.
"Really bad," said the second bee, "the weather has been really wet and damp and there aren't any
flowers or pollen, so I can't make any honey
"No problem," said the first bee, "Just fly down five blocks and turn left and keep going until you see all
the cars.  There's a Bar Mitzvah going on and there are all kinds of fresh flowers and fresh fruit."
"Thanks for the tip" said the second bee and flew away.
A few hours later the two bees ran into each other again and the first bee asked, "How'd it go?"
"Fine," said the second bee, "It was everything you said it would be."
"Uh, what's that thing on your head?" asked the first bee.
"That's my yarmulka," said the second bee, "I didn't want them to think I was a wasp."

A pastor of one church who was previously a sailor, was very aware that
ships are addressed as "she" and "her".  He often wondered what gender
computers should be addressed.  To answer that question, he set up two
groups of computer experts.  The first was comprised of women, and the
second of men.  Each group was asked to recommend whether computers
should be referred to in the feminine gender, or the masculine gender.
They were asked to give 4 reasons for their recommendation.

The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to
in the masculine gender because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on
2. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time
they are the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a
little longer you could have had a better model.

The men, on the other hand concluded that Computers should be referred to
in the feminine gender because:

1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck  on accessories for it.

 ALL BABIES start out with the same number of raw cells which, over nine
 months, develop into a complete female baby. The problem occurs when cells
 are  instructed by the little chromosomes to make a male baby instead.
 Because  there are only so many cells to go around, the cells necessary to
 develop a male's reproductive organs have to come from cells already
 assigned elsewhere in the female.
 Recent tests have shown that these cells are removed from the communications
 center of the brain, migrate lower in the body and develop into male sexual
 organs. If you visualize a normal brain to be similar to a full deck of
 cards, this means that males are born a few cards short, so to speak. And
 some of their cards are in their shorts.
 This difference between the male and female brain manifests itself in
 various ways. Little girls will tend to play things like house or learn to read.
 Little boys, however, will tend to do things like placing a bucket over
 their heads and running into walls. Little girls will think about doing
 things before taking any action.  Little boys will just punch or kick
 something and will look surprised if someone asks them why they just punched
 their little brother who was half asleep and looking the other way.
 This basic cognitive difference continues to grow until puberty, when the
 hormones kick into action and the trouble really begins. After puberty, not
 only the size of the male and female brains differ, but the center of
 thought also differs. Women think with their heads. Male thoughts often
 originate lower in their bodies where their ex-brain cells reside. Of
 course, the size of this problem varies from man to man. In some men only a
 small number of brain cells migrate and they are left with nearly full
 mental capacity but they tend to be rather dull, sexually speaking.  Such
 men are known in medical terms as "Republicans." Other men suffer larger
 brain cell relocation.
 These men are medically referred to as "Democrats." A small number of men
 suffer massive brain cell migration to their groins.  These men are usually
 referred to as . . . "Mr. President."

Housecleaning Tips

 1. Sweeping and Mopping the floors-Have dog sweep floors with tail and lick up all crumbs...(any stubborn spots
that require scrubbing recruit cat ...may have to add tuna water to spot). If you don't have a dog or cat...well you
are in trouble ... go find one roaming the neighborhood quick!

2. Vacuuming--Call for demo from salesman. Have him show you how the vacuum works in all parts of the house
insisting the carpet looks the same but really is different in all parts of the house. Tips for success:
Don't always call same company ... keep a chart and rotate.

3. Dusting--Only do what is at eye level or below. And only right before someone is coming over! Run rag over
everything quickly (don't even waste your precious time on the Pledge or Endust... that's minutes away
from your computer ... and that just is unacceptable. For the illusion of using those products ... spray a few
squirts to air like airfreshener.

4. Laundry--First find a good place to hide it! If you have to do it ...like you have no underwear...
(heck who needs underwear). Okay ... lets say its time to fold those rotten clothes ... run the dryer again
... and again and again ... and when the utility bill comes ...have a stroke

5. Cleaning toilet--Close the lid.

6. Cleaning Shower--Close the shower door or curtain.

7. Cleaning the rest of the Bathroom--Close the door. Again ... for the illusion of a freshly cleaned bath ... pour
some Lysol in the trash can that illusion will stay until you finally get someone to empty the trash for you.
Speaking of which......

8. Taking out the Trash--If you cant find anyone in your house to take it out... bribe a neighbor ... say you hurt
your back or some other sob story... that one might be good for getting at least a few sympathy dinners out
of the neighbor as well! Try not to use it too often ...they might get suspicious.

9 Dishes-Dishwasher . if it doesn't come off run it again and again... if that doesn't work ... throw the dish out
and start fresh. Better yet ... paper plates, plastic utensils and plastic cups are far better way to go...
(as long as your neighbor is taking out the trash). .

Three old men were talking about the best thing that could happen to
them at that time of life. The 80 year old said : "The best thing that
could happen to me is to be able to have a good pee. I just stand there
and it dribbles and hurts, and I have to go over and over again."

The 85 year old said: "The best thing could happen to me is if I could
have a good bowel movement. I take every kind of laxative I can get my
hands on and it is still a problem."

The 90 year old man said: "That's not my problem, every morning at 6:00
am sharp I have a good long pee and at 6:30 sharp I have a great bowel
movement. The best thing that could happen to me is if I could wake up
before 7:00."

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was
    attacked by the Loch Ness monster.  In one easy flip, the beast tossed
    him and his boat high into the air then opened its mouth to swallow both.
     As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out,  "Oh, my God! Help me!"

    At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and, as the atheist hung in mid-air,
a booming voice came down from the clouds.  "I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

    "Come on, God, give me a break!" the man pleaded.  "Two minutes ago I
    didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster, either!"

    The atheist continued, "God, please let the Loch Ness monster be a Christian."

    God replied, "So be it."  The scene starts up, atheist falling.

    The Loch Ness monster folds his claws together and says, "Lord,
    bless  this food you have so graciously provided."

Continuing the current trend of large-scale mergers and acquisitions back
towards turn-of-the-century monopolies, it was announced today at a press
conference that Christmas and Chanukah will merge.

An industry source said that the deal had been in the works for about 1300
years, ever since the rise of the Muslim Empire. While details were not
available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost of having
twelve days of Christmas and
eight days of Chanukah was becoming prohibitive for both sides. By combining
forces, we're told, the world will be able to enjoy consistently high-quality
service during the Fifteen Days of Christmukah, as the new holiday is being called.

Massive layoffs are expected, with lords a-leaping and maids a-milking being
the hardest hit. As part of the conditions of the agreement, the letters on
the dreydl, currently in Hebrew, will be replaced by Latin, thus becoming
unintelligible to a wider audience. Also, instead of translating to "A great
miracle happ3.      On the other hand, you have different fingers.
ened there," the message on the dreydl will be the more generic
"Miraculous stuff happens."

In exchange, it is believed that Jews will be allowed to use Santa Claus and
his vast merchandising resources for buying and delivering their gifts. In
fact, one of the sticking points holding up the agreement for at least three

hundred years was the question of whether Jewish children could leave milk and
cookies for Santa even after having eaten meat for dinner. A breakthrough came
last year, when Oreos were finally declared to be Kosher.

All sides appeared happy about this development except for Santa's dentist.

A spokesman for Christmas, Inc., declined to say whether a takeover of
Kwanzaa might not be in the works as well. He merely pointed out that, were it
not for the independent existence of Kwanzaa, the merger between Christmas and
Chanukah might indeed be seen as an unfair cornering of the holiday market.
Fortunately for all concerned, he said, Kwanzaa will help to maintain the competitive
balance.  He then closed the press conference by leading all present
in a rousing rendition of "Oy, Come All Ye Faithful."

SUBJECT: A REAL BICYCLIST!
A man decided that he was going to ride a 10 speed bike from Phoenix to Flagstaff.  He got as far as
Black Canyon City before the mountains just became too much and he could go no farther.

He stuck his thumb out but after 3 hours, hadn't gotten a single person to stop.  Finally a guy in a Corvette
pulled over and offered him a ride. Of course, the bikewouldn't fit in the car. The owner of the Corvette
found a piece of rope lying bythe highway and tied it to his bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and
told the man that if he got to going to fast, to honk the horn on his bike and that he would slow down.

Everything went fine for the first 30 miles. Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them. Not to be outdone,
the Corvette pulling the bike took off after the other. A short distance down the road, the Corvettes, both
going well over 120 mph, blew through a speed trap. The police officer noted the speeds from his radar
gun and radioed to the other officer that he had 2 Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph.

He then relayed, 'and your not going to believe this, but there's guy on a 10 speed bike honking to pass'.

 STILL THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY?  THINK AGAIN.
 The following is taken from a Florida newspaper:

 A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the house in the kitchen.  The man
was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still
holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and along with the motorcycle dumped
onto the floor inside the house.

 The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found her husband laying on the floor,cut and
bleeding, the motorcycle laying next to him and the patio door shattered.  The wife ran to the phone and
 summoned an ambulance.  Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights
of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband.  After the ambulance arrived and
transported the husband to the hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.

 Since gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some papers towels, blotted up the gasoline, and
threw the towels in the toilet.  The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come home.
 After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle.
 He became despondent, went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After
finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still seated.

 The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming.  She ran
into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor.  His trousers had been blown away
and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin.

 The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance.  The same ambulance crew was
dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the
stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street
accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had
 burned himself.  She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard,
 one of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out.  He fell down
 the remaining steps and broke his arm.

           ~~~  Polly wanna Cruiseship?  ~~~
    There was this magician of some repute who was hired to do his act
aboard a cruise ship.  He had been there for several years, and since the
crowd was in continual change, he did the same act over and over. He enjoyed
the good life in this sinecure, spending most his time out on the Promenade
Deck working on his tan, not new tricks.

 One day the Captain bought a parrot, and over the months brought the
parrot with him to see the nightly magic show.

 Being a smart parrot, the bird learned all the tricks as to where the
cards, flower, ect. were hidden by the magician in his act.  The bird would
say, "the card is up his left sleeve, the flower is under the pot, he hid
the money under his shoe..."  Because the parrot would only take about a
week to catch on to his magic tricks, the magician was *forced* to
continually learn new ones, which was
getting harder and harder by the day, and really cramping his "sun time."
To put it mildly he HATED THE DARN PARROT, but since it was
the Captain's he couldn't just weigh the bird down and deep six it.

 Late one night the engine room exploded and the ship sank within minutes.
Miraculously, the magician found himself clinging to a timber, floating in
the water at 0200 dark in the morning.  Alas, he was the only one left
alive!

 As the sun came up the next morning and he turned around  what should be
sitting 20 feet away on the opposite end of the log - his arch nemesis, the
Parrot!

 They glared at each other and said nothing.  This went on for three days
and neither said a word, just glared.

 On the Fourth Day the Parrot finally broke the silence and said, "OK! I
give up - what did you do with the ship!"

  White House staffers were perplexed one morning to see Bill Clinton walk
into the Oval Office with a pair of woman's panties on his arm.

 Somewhat used to the president's tendencies, they let it go and went about
  their daily tasks.

  The day wore on, several VIPs were ushered in and out of the Oval Office
for meetings with Clinton about important affairs of the state.

  Each one left with a puzzled expression on their face but no one dared ask
the  President's personal business.

  Finally, Betty Currie, Clinton's loyal secretary walked into the office
  between appointments and gently closed the door behind her.  "Mr. President,
  "she said.  "We've come to expect many unusual things from you but we're all
  quite concerned that you seem to be wearing a pair of woman's panties on
your arm.  Please tell me this doesn't mean more trouble."

  "Oh no," the President grinned. "It's The Patch.  I'm trying to quit."

Vaseline Joke
A market researcher called at a house and a young woman answered his knock with three small children
running around her. He asked her if she minded replying to his questions and when she agreed, he asked
her if she knew his company, Cheeseborough-Ponds. When she said no, he mentioned that among their
many products was Vaseline and she certainly knew of that product. When asked if she used it, the answer
was "yes". Asked how she used it, she said, "to assist sexual intercourse." The interviewer was amazed.
He said, "I always ask that question because everyone uses our product and they always say they use it
for the child's bicycle chain, or the gate hinge; but I know that most use it for sexual intercourse. Since
you've been so frank, could you tell me exactly how you use it?"
"Yes, we put it on the doorknob to keep the kids out."

 "Yeah...that's it!" Max turned to his wife and mumbled,  "Hey, Rose! What's the name of that memory

TRUE STORY:  Carjacking Foiled:
               An elderly lady did her shopping and upon return found males in her car.
She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun proceeding
               to scream at them at the top of her voice that she knows how to use it
               and that she will if required.... so get out of the car.

               The 4 men didn't wait around for a second invitation but got out
               and ran like mad where upon the lady proceeded to load her shopping bags
    into the back of the car and got into the drivers seat.  Small problem,  her key  wouldn't
fit the ignition.  Her car was identical and parked four/five spaces further down.

               She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police  station.
               The sergeant that she told the story to nearly tore himself in two
               With laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter where 4 pale
               White males were reporting a car-jacking by a mad elderly white women.
No Charges were filed.

 Where Has All The Lipstick Gone?

 According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a
 unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would
 put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their
 lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

 Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all
 the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian. She
 explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem
 for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every day.

 To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the
 custodian to clean one of the mirrors. He took out a long-handled squeegee,
 dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.

 Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

 CLEAN  SPOON

While dining with some clients last week, I noticed a spoon in the shirt pocket of our waiter as he handed
us the menus. It seemed a little odd, but I dismissed it as a random thing. But when our busboy came with
water & tableware; he, too, sported a spoon in his breast-pocket. I looked around the room and discovered
that all the waiters, waitresses,busboys, etc. had spoons in their pockets. When our waiter returned to take
our order, I just had to ask, "Why the spoons?" "Well," he explained, "our parent company recently hired
some Andersen Consulting efficiency experts to review all our procedures, and after months of statistical analyses, they concluded that our patrons drop spoons on the floor at a frequency of 3 spoons per hour
per workstation. By preparing all our workers for this contingency in advance,we can cut our trips to the
kitchen down and save nearly 1.5 extra man hours per  shift." Just as he concluded, a "ch-ching" came
from the table behind him, and he quickly replaced a fallen spoon with the one from his pocket."I'll grab
another spoon the next time I'm in the kitchen instead of making a special trip," he proudly explained.
I was impressed."Thanks. I had to ask." "No problem," he answered. Then as he continued to take our
orders, I spotted a thin,black thread protruding from his fly. Again, I dismissed it; yet I had to scan the
room and, sure enough,  there were other waiters & busboys with strings hanging out of their trousers.
My curiosity overrode discretion at this point,so before he could leave I had to ask. "Excuse me,but...
uh...why, or what...about that string?" "Oh, yeah," he began in a quieter tone. "Not many people are
that observant.  That same efficiency group found we could savetime in the Men's room, too.""How's
that?" I asked. "You see, by tying a string to the end of our, eh, selves, we can pull it out at the urinals
literally hands-free and thereby eliminate the need to wash our hands,cutting time spent in the restroom
by over 93%!" "Oh, that makes sense,"I said, but then thinking thru the process, I asked,"Hey,wait-a-
minute. If the string helps you pull it out, how do you get it back in?" "Well,"
he whispered, "I don't know about the other guys; but I use my spoon.

Bad Sex
A man and his wife of more than 50 years were rocking back and forth on the front porch. Slowly they
rocked, in rhythm as this was their time to spend a few quiet moments and after years of practice they
rocked to the same pace. Suddenly the wife stopped, grabbed her cane, and with a loud and hard WHACK
hit her husband across the shins.  His eyes watered and tears ran down his cheeks. When he finally caught
his breath he gasped and asked, "What'd you do that fer?"  "That's fer fifty years of bad sex," she said.
He nodded his head, but said nothing. Slowly they began to rock again.  Again they kept pace. Back and
forth, back and forth they rocked, until suddenly the man stopped, and picked up his cane. He reached over
and with a loud, sharp WHACK, he hit his wife across the shins.  As soon as her eyes quit watering and she
could speak she asked, "What was that fer?"  "That," said her husband as he began to rock again, "is fer
knowin' the difference."

ANSWER:
There are six F's in the sentence.  Average intelligence finds three of
them.
If you spotted four, you're above average.
If you got five, you can  turn your nose at most anybody.
If you caught six, you are a genius.  There is no catch.

Many people forget the "OF"'s.  The human brain tends to see them as V's
and not F's.  Pretty weird, huh?

 A Rabbit's Thesis (contributed by Olivija)
One sunny day a rabbit came out of her hole in the ground to enjoy the fine weather. The day
was so nice that she became careless and a fox snuck up behind her and caught her.
"I am going to eat you for lunch!", said the fox.
"Wait!", replied the rabbit, "You should at least wait a few days."
"Oh yeah? Why should I wait?"
"Well, I am just finishing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"
"Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everybody knows that a fox will always win over a rabbit."
"Not really, not according to my research. If you like, you can come into my hole and read
it for yourself. If you are not convinced, you can go ahead and have me for lunch."
 "You really are crazy!" But since the fox was curious and had nothing to lose, it went with the
rabbit.  The fox never came out.
A few days later the rabbit was again taking a break from writing and sure enough,
a  wolf came out of the bushes and was ready to set upon her.
"Wait!" yelled the rabbit, "you can't eat me right now."
"And why might that be, my furry appetizer?"
"I am almost finished writing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and  Wolves.'"
The wolf laughed so hard that it almost lost its grip on the rabbit.
"Maybe I shouldn't eat you. You really are sick...in the head. You might have something contagious."
"Come and read it for yourself. You can eat me afterward if you disagree with my conclusions."
So the wolf went down into the rabbit's hole...and never came out.
The rabbit finished her thesis and was out celebrating in the local lettuce patch. Another rabbit
came along and asked, "What's up?  You seem very happy."
"Yup, I just finished my thesis."
"Congratulations. What's it about?"
"'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"
"Are you sure? That doesn't sound right."
"Oh yes. Come and read it for yourself."
So together they went down into the rabbit's hole. As they entered, the friend saw the typical
graduate student abode, a rather messy one after writing a thesis.
The computer with the controversial work was in one corner. To the right there was a pile of  fox
bones, to the left a pile of wolf bones. And in the middle was a large, well-fed lion.
The moral of the story:
The title of your thesis doesn't matter.
The subject doesn't matter.
The research doesn't matter.
All that matters is who your advisor is.

senior citizen's group chartered a bus from Brooklyn to Atlanti City.
As they entered New Jersey, an elderly woman came up to the driver and said "I've been molested!"
The driver thought she was just being delusional, and told her to go sit back down.
10 minutes later, another old woman came forward and claimed SHE'D been molested. The driver
thought he had a bus load of wackos - who'd molest them?
10 minutes later, a third came up and said she'd been molested too.
The driver decided he'd had enough, and pulled into the rest stop. When
he stood up, he saw an old man on his hands and knees in the aisle.
"Hey gramps, what are you doing down there?"
"I lost my toupee. Three times I thought I found it, but when I grabbed it, it ran away..."

Three guys talking in the pub. Two of them are talking about the amount of control
they have over their wives, while the third remains quiet.
After a while one of the two turns to the third and says, 'Well, Cole what about
you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?'
The third fellow says: 'I'll tell you. Just the other night my wife came to me on
her hands and knees.'
The first two guys were amazed. 'What happened then?' they asked.
'She said, 'get out from under the bed, you coward. Fight like a man' .'

An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents.
The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide about his
future career ... so they decided to do a small test.
They took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey, and put them on the
front hall table ... then they hid, pretending they were not at home.
The father's plan was: 'If our son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he
takes the bible, he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm
afraid our son will be a drunkard.'
So the parents hid in the nearby closet and waited nervously.
Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive ...
The son saw the note they had left.
Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took it.
Finally he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative whiff to be
assured of the quality ... then he left for his room, carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said:
'Darn, it's even worse than I could ever have imagined ... '
'Our son is going to be a politician!'

 LOL: Green Eggs and Hamlet

                         I ask to be, or not to be.
                        That is the question, I ask of me.
                        This sullied life, it makes me shudder.
                        My uncle's boffing dear, sweet mother.
                        Would I, could I take my life?
                        Could I, should I, end this strife?
                        Should I jump out of a plane?
                        Or throw myself before a train?
                        Should I from a cliff just leap?
                        Could I put myself to sleep?
                        Shoot myself, or take some poison?
                        Maybe try self immoloition?
                        To shudder off this mortal coil,
                        I could stab myself with a fencing foil.
                        Slash my wrists while in the bath?
                        Would it end my angst and wrath?
                        To sleep, to dream, now there's the rub.
                        I could drop a toaster in my tub.
                        Would all be glad, if I were dead?
                        Could I perhaps kill them instead?
                        This line of thought takes consideration -
                        For I'm the king of procrastination.

 As a result of this divinely ordered event, you are no longer held in bondage of what was.

 This is not to imply that you are not accountable to, or responsible for, yesterdays choices.
 It is to say that things can - and have - in fact changed. No further explanation is required.

All parties who intend to evolve must maintain an open mind and heart to what the new day
brings. Those who insist on digging in their hells, gritting their teeth, clutching, clawing, or
grabbing in an attempt to hold on, will ultimately end up where yesterday is today.

"Not yet," replies her mother, "the mass is only half over."
"We can go now, Mommy.  I'm half-Jewish!"

Bernie, a young Jewish boy, decided he wanted to be an aeronautical engineer and build
airplanes.   Over the years he studied hard, went to the best schools, and finally got his degree.
It didn't take long before he gained a reputation as the finest aeronautical engineer in all the land,
so he decided to start his own company to build jets.  His company was such a hit that the
President of the United States called Bernie into his office.  "Bernie," the president said, "the
President of Israel wants to commission your company to build anadvanced jet fighter for his
country.  You have our approval--go out and design him the best jet fighter ever made."
Needless to say, Bernie was tremendously excited at this prospect.  The entire resources of
his company went into building the most advanced jet fighter in history.  Everything looked
terrific on paper, but when they held the first test flight of the new jet, disaster struck.
The wings couldn't take the strain--they broke clean off of the fuselage!
(The test pilot parachuted to safety, thank G-d.)
Bernie was devastated;  his company redesigned the jet fighter, but the same thing happened
at the next test flight--the wings broke off again.  Beside himself with worry, Bernie went to his Schul
to pray...to ask G-d where he had gone wrong.  The rabbi saw Bernie's sadness,  and naturally asked
him what the matter was.  Bernie decided to pour his heart out to the rabbi.  Aft
