BOY VS. GIRL

An 8-yr. old boy walks home from school each day past an 8-yr. old girl's house. One day he's passing by carrying a football and can't resist taunting the girl. He holds up the football and says, 'See this? Football is a boy's game, and only boys can have a football!'
The little girl runs into the house and cries to her mother, 'I want a football! Being a woman of the 90's, her mother gets her one.
The next day the girl is waiting for the little boy as he rides up on his bike. She holds up the football and says 'NAH NAH!' The little boy angrily points to his bike and says, 'Oh yeah, well this is a boy's bike and only boys get boy's bikes and you can't have one!'
She runs in the house to her mother, and the next day is waiting for him on her new boy's bike. The little boy gets furious and pulls down his pants. Pointing to his most private parts, he says, 'Look, only boys have these and your Mom can't buy you one!'
The next day he walks by her and says, 'Well, I guess I showed you!', to which she promptly pulls up her dress, points to her most private parts and proclaims, 'NAH NAH! My mother says that as long as I have one of these, I can have as many of those as I want!'

A LETTER FROM CAMP:

Dear Mom and Dad,
We are having a great time here at Lake Typhoid. Scoutmaster Webb is making us all write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and worried. We are O.K. Only 1 of our tents and two sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it happened. Oh, yes, please call Chad's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the Search and Rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for the lightning. Scoutmaster Webb got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Chad said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire the gas can will blow up? The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did. Also some of our clothes. John is going to look weird until his hair grows back. We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Webb gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Webb said that a car that old you have to expect something to break down ... that's probably why he can't get insurance. We think it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the tailgate. It gets pretty hot with 10 people in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the Highway Patrolman stopped and talked to us. Scoutmaster Webb is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive. But he only lets him drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up there are logging trucks. This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Webb wouldn't let me because I can't swim and Chad was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Webb isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble. Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Also Wade and I threw up. Scoutmaster Webb said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken, I have to go now. We are going into town to mail our letters and buy bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
Love, Cory
P.S. How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot?

PEEPING TOMS

A husband, wife, and their two sons are watching T.V. The wife looks at her husband and winks at him. He gets the message and says, 'Excuse us for a few minutes boys, we're going to our room for a little while ...' Pretty soon one of the boys becomes curious, goes upstairs and sees the door to his parent's bedroom is ajar. He peeks in for a few seconds, then trots downstairs to get his little brother. As the boy takes his brother up to peek into the bedroom he says, 'Before you look in there, keep in mind that this is the same woman who paddled our butts for sucking our thumbs!'

WALKING THE DOG

A little girl asked, 'Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?' Her mother replied, 'No, because Fee-Fee is in heat.' 'What's that mean?,' asked the child. 'Go ask your father,' says her mother, 'I think he's in the garage.' The little girl goes into the garage and says, 'Dad, can I take Fee-Fee for a walk around the block? I asked Mom but she said the dog was in heat and that I should ask you.' Her father said, 'Bring Fee-Fee over here ...' He took a rag, soaked it in gasoline and scrubbed the dog's butt with it. 'O.K., you can go now,'says her father, 'but keep Fee-Fee on the leash and only go one time around the block.' The little girl leaves and returns a few minutes later with no dog and no leash! 'Where's Fee-Fee?' asked her father. The daughter replied, 'Fee-Fee ran out of gas about halfway down the block and there's another dog pushing her home.'

PIERCING

Mom and her 6 yr. old daughter, Nicole were walking in a shopping mall when two teenaged girls approached, both with pierced belly-buttons! Upon seeing this, Nicole tugs at her mom's arm and says, 'Mom, look! They put their earrings in the wrong place!'
