WOMEN !!
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:
1 No one but their creator understands their internal logic ;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.

to surround himself with intelligent people
Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent.
"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Kalam. "Allow me to demonstrate. "
Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister.
Who is it?"
Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir !"
"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Kalam. He hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes Mr.President..
Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Bush, upon returning to Washington , decides he'd better put the Condoleeza Rice to the test.
Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleeza, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister.
Who is it?"
Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over thequestion for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.
"Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course."
Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's our
Colin Powell!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, its Manmohan Singh !"

Talking Irish Clock
Proudly showing off his newly-leased apartment to a couple of friends late one night, a drunk Irish lad led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong hanging on the wall.
'What's that big brass gong for?' one of the friends asked.
'Issss nod a gong… Issss a talkin' Irish clock' he slurred drunkenly.
'A talking Irish clock…naw…seriously?'
'Yup…hmmm (hic!).'
'How does it work then?' the second friend asked, squinting at it.
'Just watch,' he said.
He picked up a hammer, gave the gong an ear-shattering bash and stepped back.
His three mates stood looking at one another for a moment in astounded silence.
Suddenly, a voice from the other side of the wall screamed,
'For f*#k's sake, you stupid w#%ker! It's ten past three in the f*#king morning!!!'

Kashmir
Nations Assembly that made the world community smile.
A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named. When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath.' He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.'
The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are you talking about?
The Pakistanis weren't there then.'
The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.
'And they say Kashmir belongs to them...............................................

Mensa's new words - superb!
The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Drink Australian, Think Australian
An Australian guy is travelling around the Greek Islands. One evening, he visits the local bar, where he is served by an Australian barmaid.
As she takes his order, a Foster's, she notices his accent. Over the course of the evening, they get chatting.
At the end of her shift he asks her if she wants to come back to his place. Although she is attracted to him, she says no.
So he offers to pay her $200 to sleep with him. She thinks for a bit, but as she's travelling around the world and is short of funds, she agrees. They go to his place and have a great time in bed.
The next night the guy turns up again. Once again he orders a Foster's and after showing her plenty of attention, asks if she will sleep with him again for $200. She remembers the night before and is only too happy to agree.
This goes on for five nights.
On the sixth night, the guy comes in again and orders a Foster's, but goes and sits in the corner. The barmaid thinks that if she pays him a little more attention, she might be able to shake some more cash out of him. So she goes over and sits next to him.
"So, I never asked," she smiles, "Where are you from in Australia?"
"Melbourne", he tells her.
"Really? So am I. What suburb?" she enquires.
"Glen Iris," he replies.
"That's amazing!" she says excitedly, "So am I! What street?"
"Cameo Street," he replies.
"This is unbelievable!" she says, her voice quavering. "What number?"
"Number 20," he replies.
She is totally astonished.
"You are NOT going to believe this," she screams, "but I'm from number 22! My parents still live there!"
"I know," he says, "Your dad gave me 1,000 bucks to give to you."

Snippets from the US political board
- All the world leaders are in New York City attending the U.N. General Assembly. Some are doing some shopping. The Japanese premier, for example, got a great deal on Morgan Stanley.
- At a rally in Florida, Barack Obama was interrupted by a protest group called "Blacks Against Obama." Actually it was a pretty small group - just Condoleezza Rice and Jesse Jackson.
- Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will no longer be investment banks and are now just regular commercial banks. But to keep their executive bonuses high, customers will be charged $17,000 every time they use the ATM.
- Vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, went to the United Nations and met with the presidents of Afghanistan, Colombia, and Iraq. She was excited because these are all countries you can't see from Alaska.
- Yesterday, President Bush gave a speech on the economic crisis. The title of Bush's speech: "Two More Months and It Ain't My Problem."
- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently said that in the 1970s he smoked marijuana. Apparently, Arnold got so stoned that you could understand every word he was saying.
- Iranian President Ahmadinejad also spoke at the U.N. earlier today. This is a guy who hates Jews and gays. Boy is he in the wrong town.
- The presidential race is heating up. John McCain has said he will release his medical records by the end of the year. He's not stalling - it's just going to take a long time to print them out.
- The past several days, President Bush has been speaking out about the Wall Street bailout, and today a reporter asked him what he planned to do about AIG. Bush got upset and said, "Why does everyone always spell in front of me?"
- The presidential election is getting closer. It's now down to the choice of Barack Obama and what's his name versus Sarah Palin and what's his name.
- Apparently, one of Sarah Palin's first acts as Governor of Alaska was getting a tanning bed installed in the governor's mansion.
- The Republican Party is okay with it, which is weird, because usually they ask themselves, "How can we make our candidate more white?"
- Some sad news yesterday in Malibu. Actor Ryan O'Neal and his son were arrested after authorities found methamphetamines in their home. The good news, since it's Malibu, there's a rehab centre right across the street.
- Paris Hilton is our guest on the show tonight......unless she needs to rush to Washington to fix the economy - David Letterman
- President Bush, Barack Obama and John McCain are having an emergency meeting at the White House today to discuss the financial crisis. Together, the three men hope to find a way to blame this all on Ralph Nader.
- Sarah Palin was at the U.N. to meet some world leaders. The president of Pakistan actually told Palin that she was gorgeous. But you know, he said the same thing to Joe Biden, so I don't know what the deal is.
- Michelle Obama says she keeps her kids entertained on the campaign trail by throwing slumber parties. Which, coincidentally, is how Bill Clinton kept himself entertained during his campaign.
- Sarah Palin is training hard in Arizona for the vice presidential debate. She says it has really helped her on foreign policy because from Arizona she can see Mexico.

The Nun in the Rest Room
The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while, the lights would turn off. Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.
However, when the revellers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.
She walked up to the bartender, and asked, "May I please use the restroom?
The bartender replied, "OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf."
"Well, in that case I'll just look the other way," said the nun.
So the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.
After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place stopped just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause.
She went to the bartender and said, "Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?"
"Well, now they know you're one of us," said the bartender, "Would you like a drink?"
"But, I still don't understand," said the puzzled nun.
"You see," laughed the bartender, "every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out. Now, how about that drink Sister?"

Sarah Pipalini
the paper and rolls his eyes. He hands it back to her and sighs. "No sister, the paper says it was the 'Sahara Pipeline' that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months."
