 <title><![CDATA[Advise from Grandma]]></title>
 <link>http://www.koroded.net/index.php?itemid=167</link>
<description><![CDATA[My grandmother died in the 50s, but her birthday is coming up, and that always causes me to reminisce -- the long walks we used to take to the store in town, the quarters she gave me for meaningless jobs like pulling weeds or washing the sidewalk.<br />
<br />
Those gems were all good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of Grandmotherly advice, occurred when I was only about 13. We were sitting in a park having just finished collecting some 40 soda<br />
bottles for the deposit money on a beautiful spring day.<br />
<br />
She told me that one day I would find a wonderful woman and start my own family. "And always remember this thing," she said. "Be sure you marry a woman with small hands."<br />
<br />
"How come, Grandma?" I asked her. She answered in her soft southern voice, "Makes your dick look bigger."]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[A MODERN PARABLE . .]]></title>
 <link>http://www.koroded.net/index.php?itemid=164</link>
<description><![CDATA[A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (Ford) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River.  Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.<br />
<br />
On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.<br />
<br />
The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat.  A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.<br />
<br />
Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.<br />
<br />
Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion.<br />
<br />
They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.<br />
<br />
Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents, and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.<br />
<br />
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder.  It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners, and free pens for the rower  There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes, and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.<br />
<br />
The next year the Japanese won by two miles.<br />
<br />
Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment.  The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India.<br />
<br />
Sadly, The End.<br />
<br />
Here's something else to think about:<br />
Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages.<br />
<br />
TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US.  The last quarter's results:<br />
<br />
TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.<br />
<br />
Ford folks are still scratching their heads.<br />
<br />
IF THIS WEREN'T TRUE, IT MIGHT BE FUNNY.]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[Hospital Tour]]></title>
 <link>http://www.koroded.net/index.php?itemid=163</link>
<description><![CDATA[A wealthy hospital benefactor was being shown around the hospital.<br />
During her tour she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating furiously.<br />
<br />
'Oh my GOD!' screamed the woman. 'That's disgraceful! Why is he doing that?'<br />
<br />
The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, 'I'm very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that at least five times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture'<br />
<br />
'Oh, well in that case, I guess it's okay,' said the woman.<br />
<br />
As they passed by the very next room, they saw a male patient laying in bed while a nurse performed oral sex on him.<br />
<br />
Again, the woman screamed, 'Oh my GOD! How can THAT be justified?'<br />
<br />
Again the doctor spoke very calmly: 'Same illness, better health plan.]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[Am I Gay?  Self Examination For Men]]></title>
 <link>http://www.koroded.net/index.php?itemid=162</link>
<description><![CDATA[1. If you are over forty, and you have a washboard stomach, you are gay. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and have spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet.<br />
<br />
2. If you have a cat, you are a Flaaaaming homo. A cat is like a dog, but gay-- it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its nails, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog... 'Killer, come here! I said get your ass over here, Killer!' Now think about how you call a cat...'Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!' Jeeezus, you're fit to be framed, you're so gay.<br />
<br />
3. If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any such nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord.  A straight man only sucks on bar-B-que ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, crawfish guts, pickled pigs feet, or tits. Anything else and your in training and undeniably a fag.<br />
<br />
4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you crave a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his bathroom; he goes wherever he pleases.<br />
<br />
5. If you drink anything other than regular coffee, you own designer kneepads.  A straight man will never be heard ordering a 'Decaf Soy Latte'.  If you've put a Decaf Soy Latte to your lips, you've had a man there, too.<br />
<br />
6. If you know more than six names of non standard colors or four different types of dessert other than ice cream and pie, you might as well be handing out free ass passes.  A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap. If you can pick out chartreuse or you know what a 'fressier' is you're gay. And if you can name ANY type of textile other than cotton or denim, you are a fag.<br />
<br />
7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it, you're dying to tune a meat whistle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to honk at a slow-ass driver or to cut off the jerk. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a burger, or hold his beer.]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[You Just Can't Fix Stupid]]></title>
 <link>http://www.koroded.net/index.php?itemid=161</link>
<description><![CDATA[ONE<br />
Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets<br />
<br />
TWO<br />
I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today.' She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.<br />
<br />
<br />
THREE A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'<br />
<br />
FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. ' Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'  'Hmmm, I dunno.  Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked. 'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk.'<br />
<br />
FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use copier machine paper,' the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.<br />
<br />
SIX I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in 'Twister.' I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the 'cruise control' and then went in the back to make a sandwich.<br />
<br />
SEVEN My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: 'I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?'<br />
<br />
EIGHT Police in Radnor, Pa. interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message 'He's lying' was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the 'lie detector' was working, the suspect confessed.<br />
<br />
NINE A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and it should be fine .. The mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....<br />
Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency room!<br />
<br />
Life is tough It's tougher if you're stupid<br />

<description><![CDATA[A professor at the University of Mississippi was giving a lecture on 'Involuntary Muscular Contractions' to his first year medical students.  He realized that this was not the most riveting subject, so the professor decided to lighten the mood slightly.<br />
<br />
He pointed to a young woman in the front row and said, "Do you know what your ass hole is doing while you're having an orgasm?"<br />
<br />
She replied, 'Probably deer hunting with his buddies.'<br />
<br />
The professor laughed so hard he could not continue with the class.]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[George Carlin's New Rules for 2007]]></title>
 <link>http://www.koroded.net/index.php?itemid=156</link>
<description><![CDATA[    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com ! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days . . mowing my lawn.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout?<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bastards.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're a dope. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the U.S. Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    I don't need a bigger mega M&Ms If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.<br />
<br />
    New Rule: and this one is long overdue:<br />
<br />
    No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your web cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.<br />
<br />
    New Rule:<br />
<br />
    If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than minimum wage, then for God's sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh. If so, then plan your future around saying" Do you want fries with that?"]]></description>
