Funny Poop
·         One day there were two boys playing by a stream.  One boy went over to the bush to check out some noises.  He pointed out a woman bathing naked in the steam.  So, both boys decided to stay and watch her.  All of a sudden the second boy took off running.  The first boy couldn't understand why he ran away, so he took off after his friend.  Finally he caught up to him and asked his friend why he had run away.  The second boy said to his friend, "My mom told me if I ever saw a naked lady I would turn to stone, and I felt something getting hard, so I ran."

·         A visitor from Holland was chatting with his American friend and was jokingly explaining about the red, white and blue in the Netherlands flag.  "Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said.  "We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bill, and blue after we pay them."
"That's the same with us," the American said, "only we see stars, too."

·         An Irish wife was having a shower and slipped over on the bathroom floor.  Instead of slipping over forwards, she slipped over and did the splits and suctioned herself to the floor.  She yelled out for her husband.  'Paddy! Paddy!' she yelled.
Paddy came running in.  'Paddy I've suctioned myself to the floor,' she said.
'Ohhh nooo!  Paddy said and tried to pull her up.  'You're just too heavy, love.  I'll go across the road and get Shamus.'
Paddy comes back with Shamus and they both tried to pull her up.
'Nope, I can't do it,' Shamus said, 'Let's try plan C.'
'Plan C?' exclaimed Paddy. 'What's that?'
'I'll go home and get my hammer and chisel and we will break the tiles under her.'
'Oh okay,' Paddy said.  'While you're doing that I'll stay here and play with her tits.'
'Play with her tits?' Shamus said.  'Why would you do that?  This is hardly the time.'
Paddy replied, 'Well, I figure if I can get her wet enough, we can slide her into the kitchen where the tiles aren't so expensive to replace.'

Etcetera
