Scientists in China have recently performed the first successful cloning of a human being. Unfortunately, the DNA donor for the cloning had Turrets Syndrome. As a result, the clone exhibited the same characteristic swearing tendencies as the donor.

The lead scientist for the project recently admitted taking the clone to the roof of the science facility and pushing him to his death. This, due to the incessant profanity which the new clone
used.
 

The scientist has been charged with making an obscene clone fall.

Two robins were sitting on a branch high in a tree. One looked down and saw a field full of worms. Turning to the second bird he said, "We ought to go down there and eat."  "Good idea," said his friend.   The two of them flew down to the field and ate their fill and then some. When he could eat no more one said to the other, "You know, we ought to stop eating and fly back to our branch."  Rubbing his belly the second responded, "Yep."   With that they tried to fly to their branch in the tree, but they had eaten too much to get off the ground. The second one said, "Maybe we should just stay here and relax in the sun." Before long the two birds slept, basking in the afternoon sun.   As they slept, a cat happened upon the field. Seeing the birds, sleeping, and oblivious to his presence, the cat pounced. As feather s settled around him, the cat rubbed his belly, and said, "There is nothing better than...

     A man is eating in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous blonde eating at the next table.  He has been checking her out all night, but he lacks the nerve to go talk to her.  Suddenly, she sneezes and her glass eye comes flying out of her socket towards the man.  He reflexively grabs and snatches it out of the air.

     A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears music.  No one is around, so he starts searching for the source.  He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads:   Ludwig Von Beethoven, 1770-1827.  Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony, and it is being played backward!
     Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him.  By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed.   This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward.  Curious, the man agrees to consult a music scholar.
     When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward.  The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed:  the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.
     By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave.  They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward.  Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.  Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
     "Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously..........

Three friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise the necessary funds.  Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.  He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not  He went back and begged the friars to close.  They ignored him.  He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of business.  They ignored her, too.  So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close.  Hug beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop.   Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that..........

     A bill collector knocked on the door of a country debtor.  "Is Fred home?" he asked the woman who answered the door. 
     "Sorry," the woman replied.  "Fred's gone for cotton."
     The next day the collector tried again.  "Is Fred here today?"  "No, sir," she said, "I'm afraid Fred has gone for cotton."
     When he returned the third day he humphed, "I suppose Fred is gone for cotton again?" 
     "No," the woman answered solemnly, "Fred died yesterday."

     A blonde's car breaks down on the interstate one day, so she eases it over to the shoulder of the road.   She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk.  Out jump two men in trench coats who walk to the rear of the vehicle where they stand facing oncoming traffic and begin opening their coats and exposing themselves to approaching drivers.  Not surprisingly, one of the worst pile-ups in the history of this highway occurs.
     It's not very long before a police car shows up.  The cop, clearly enraged, runs toward the blonde of the disabled vehicle yelling, "What in the world is going on here?"
     "My car broke down," says the lady, calmly.
     "Well, what are these perverts doing here by the road?!" asks the cop.
     And she said,..........

     A man was driving along the highway and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but  unfortunately the rabbit jumpted in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and  got out to see what had become of the rabbit.     

     Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful that he began to cry.   A blonde woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.      

    "I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." 

    The blonde told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit.   Miraculously, the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. Fifty feet away the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved at the two again, hopped down the road another 50 feet, turned, waved, and hopped  another 50 feet. 

     The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can! He ran over to   the woman and demanded,   "What was in your spray can? What did you spray onto that rabbit?"

     The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said...

 

   

     "Hair Spray - Restores Life to Dead Hair. Adds Permanent Wave."
