He begged off, saying he wanted to shower first and that he'd meet with his friends in the bar later.<BR/><BR/>While showering, he hears female voices and realizes he's gone into the wrong locker room. He figures that he can do one of two things - he can wrap the towel around his waist and run out or, he can wrap the towel around his head, hiding his identity, and run out. He decides on the latter.<BR/><BR/>Three women watch the naked man with the towel around his head race by.<BR/><BR/>The first one says, "I wonder who that was. I know it wasn't my husabnd."<BR/><BR/>The second woman laughs and says, "It wasn't my husband."<BR/><BR/>And the third woman says, "Why, he isn't even a member of this club!"David Terrenoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482864941636273068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1145287918502711412006-04-17T11:31:00.000-04:002006-04-17T11:31:00.000-04:00Morning Erik!Trace, sounds like Lee runs a good fo...Morning Erik!<BR/><BR/>Trace, sounds like Lee runs a good forum - everything I hear about him makes him sound like a great guy.<BR/><BR/>Yep MG, no doo-doo heads.

It sad, but then...it's indicitive of human nature even without the safety net of cyberspace. Some people suck no matter what media they use to correspond in.<BR/><BR/>as for a joke:<BR/><BR/>A teacher asks her class, ''If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?'' She calls on little Johnny.<BR/><BR/>''None, they all fly away with the first gunshot.''<BR/><BR/>The teacher replies, ''The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.'' Then Little Johnny says, ''I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?''<BR/><BR/>The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, ''Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.''<BR/><BR/>''The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on...but I like your thinking.''James Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807865320537867045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1145278822249531452006-04-17T09:00:00.000-04:002006-04-17T09:00:00.000-04:00Good morning, Samdra!Good morning, Samdra!Erik Ivan Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564245949077955844noreply@blogger.com
