 WHY DID GOD MAKE MEN BEFORE WOMEN?

 (you need a rough draft before you make a
 final copy)

 WHY DOES IT TAKE 1 MILLION SPERM TO
 FERTILIZE ONE EGG?

 (they don't stop to ask directions)

 WHY DO MEN BECOME SMARTER DURING
 SEX?

 (because they are plugged into a genius)



 WHY DON'T WOMEN BLINK DURING SEX?

 (they don't have enough time)

A man is recovering from surgery when a nurse asks him how he is feeling. "I'm O. K. but I didn't like the four-letter-word the doctor used in surgery," he answered.
"What did he say," asked the nurse. "OOPS
"

Thanks Sherri

 

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day and all the patients were shouting 13....13....13.
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks and looked through to see what was going on.
Some bastard poked me in the eye with a stick.

Then they all started shouting 14....14....14...

Thanks Sarah
