And now for the jokes
DARK IN HERE
A woman takes a lover during the day while her husband is at work.
Her 9-year-old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in
the bedroom closet to watch. The woman's husband also comes home.
She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little
boy is in there already.
The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball."
Man - "That's nice."
Boy - "Want to buy it?"
Man - "No, thanks."
Boy - "My dad's outside."
Man - "OK, how much?"
Boy - "$250"
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the
lover are in the closet together.
Boy - "Dark in here."
Man - "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball glove."
The lover remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy - "$750"
Man - "Fine."
A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove,
let's go outside and have a game of catch."
The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseball and my glove."
The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
Boy -"$1,000" The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge
your friends like that...that is way more than those two things
cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit
in the confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that shit again".

Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.

Condi: You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi: You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glassof milk. And

Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.

Condi: Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi: Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should
send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese
food in the Middle East?
