Disclaimer : Even though this is a "spiritual" web site, I believe jokes do have their place (they say "laughter" is the best medicine for a reason). The following "jokes" may very well be irreverent, raunchy, rude, sexually insensitive, politically incorrect, offensive and exceedingly tasteless (if not darn right bad), but no matter - suspend judgement and simply enjoy.

The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in "your" city, where a woman may go to choose a husband.  Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the product increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5
- These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with housework, and have a strong romantic personality.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes on to the  sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this Floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner also opened a New Wives Store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

THE GUYS RULES

Finally, the guys' side of the story.
We always hear "the rules" from the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note! these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1). Men are NOT mind readers.
1). Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1). Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1). Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1). Crying is blackmail.
1). Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1). Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1). Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
 Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1). A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
1). Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1). If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1). If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1). If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1). You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1). Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1). Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1). ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1). If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1). If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
 We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1). If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1). Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as CARS,  the shotgun formation, or BASKETBALL.
1) You have enough clothes.
1). You have too many shoes.
1). I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1). Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
(But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping).


WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.


Bill Maher's New Rules For 2007 & Beyond
New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com ! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 or 30 years.? It's because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days? He' s mowing my lawn.

New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out of a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy' s chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Caviar?

New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky little bastards.

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here' s how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt.? That' s your flavored water.

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual.? It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "chicken with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes, graduations and getting out of rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it' s the white people's version of looting.

New Rule: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he' s supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He' s two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.

New Rule: If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than minimum wage, then for God' s sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh. If so, then plan your future around saying" Do you want fries with that?"

New Rule: Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole of a customer. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.

New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 million developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300C.

The Russians used a pencil.

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife turning back and forth, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday.
"I'd like to be six again," she replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!
He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster... everything there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well Dear, what was it like being six again?"
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
"I meant my Dress Size, you dummie !"
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is going to get it wrong.

When Dan found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. So one evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
"I may look like just an ordinary man," he said as he walked up to her, "but in just a week or two, my father will die, and I'll Inherit 20 million dollars."
Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening and, three days later, she became his stepmother.

Two ways to look at everything
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked my wife, "Do you know him?"
"Yes," she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" I said to my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
So you see, there really are 2 ways to look at everything

What'd you say?

FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING: This means something, and you should be on your toes. Nothing is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. Nothing usually signifies an argument that will last Five Minutes and end with the word Fine.

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over Nothing, and will end with the word Fine.

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows): This means, I give up! or do what you want because I don't care. You will get a Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead In just a few minutes, followed by nothing and Fine and she will talk to you In about Five Minutes when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often misunderstood by men. A Loud Sigh means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over nothing.

SOFT SIGH: Again, not a word, but a nonverbal statement. Soft Sighs mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. That's Okay means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. That's Okay is often used with the word Fine and in conjunction with a Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead. At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO.: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a That's Okay.  THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT: This is much different from Thanks. A woman will say, Thanks A Lot when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the Loud Sigh. Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the Loud Sigh, as she will only tell you Nothing.

Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.
