A guy and a girl meet at a bar.
They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place.
A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands.
He then takes off his trousers and again washes his hands.
The girl has been watching him and says:
"You must be a dentist."
The guy, surprised, says:
"Yes .... How did you figure that out?"
"Easy.." she replies, "you keep washing your hands."
One thing leads to another and they make love.
After it's over the girl says: "You must be a good dentist."
The guy, now with an inflated ego, says:
"Sure - I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?"
The girl replies:.....
"I didn't feel a thing."

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of Tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied.
The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?" The boy replied, "not exactly,
but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."
Maria had just gotten married, and being a traditional Italian she was still a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was very nervous.
Her mother reassured her; 'Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take care of you. Meanwhile, I'll be making pasta.' So, up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest. Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, 'Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest.'
'Don't worry, Maria,' says the mother, 'all good men have hairy chests. Go upstairs. He'll take good care of you.'
So, up she went again. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs. Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother. 'Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he's got hairy legs!'
'Don't worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs and he'll take good care of you.'
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. 'Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!'
Her Mama said, 'Stay here and stir the pasta.'

A Cowboy from Fort Worth,Texas walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an international rodeo for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.
The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Cowboy handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Cowboy produced the title and everything checked out.
The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest. Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Cowboy from Texas for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Cowboy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are a highly sophisticated investor and multi-millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Lubbock ,Texas .What puzzles us is - why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The good 'ole Texas boy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?"
A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one.
Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash.
Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.
The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, 'I am so sorry for your loss, and this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?'
'My wife's.
''What happened to her?'
The man replied, 'My dog attacked and killed her'
He inquired further, 'But who is in the second hearse?'
The man answered, 'My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.'
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two men.
'Can I borrow the dog?'
The man replied, 'Get in line.'
Eileen and her husband Bob went for counseling after 25 years of marriage.
When asked what the problem was, Eileen went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married.
She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking Eileen to stand, embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra, put his hands on her breasts and massaged them thoroughly, while kissing her passionately as her husband Bob watched with a raised eyebrow!
Eileen shut up, buttoned up her blouse, and quietly sat down while basking in the glow of being highly aroused.
The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?'
Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf.
A Congressman was seated next to a little girl on the airplane leaving from Atlanta when he turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the total stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' said the southern congressman. 'How about global warming or universal health care', and he smiles smugly.
OK, ' she said. 'Those could be interesting topics. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'
The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming or universal health care when you don't know s.hit?
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave side service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the back-country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost; and being a typical man I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.
There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down. The vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.
As I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, " I ain't never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane. The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, then visibly shuddered for ten to fifteen seconds.
The man went back to his reading. A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, then shuddered violently once more.
Assuming that the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering.
A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again. As before, she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body shaking even more than before.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman and said, "I couldn't help but notice that you've sneezed three times, wiped your nose and then shuddered violently. Are you OK?"
"I am sorry if I disturbed you, I have a very rare medical condition; whenever I sneeze I have an orgasm."
The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious. "I have never heard of that condition before" he said. "Are you taking anything for it?"
The woman nodded, "Pepper."

During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the Following question:
'Michael, if you were on a date having dinner With a nice young lady,how would you tell her That you have to go to the bathroom?'
Michael said, 'Just a minute I have to go pee.'
The teacher responded by saying, 'That would Be rude and impolite.
What about you Sherman, how would you say it?' Sherman said, 'I am sorry, but I really need to Go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.'
'That's better, but it's still not very nice to Say the word bathroom at the dinner table.......And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain For once and show us your good manners?'
'I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'
The teacher fainted.

A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, 'How long before I can get a haircut?'
The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, 'About 2 hours.'
The guy left.
A few days later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, 'How long before I can get a haircut?'
The barber looked around at the shop and said, 'About 3 hours.' The guy left.
A week later, the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, 'How long before I can get a haircut?'
The barber looked around the shop and said, 'About an hour and a half'. The guy left.
The barber turned to his friend and said, 'Hey, Bob, do me a favor. Follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn't ever come back.'
A little while later, Bob returned to the shop, laughing hysterically. The barber asked, 'So, where does that guy go when he leaves?'
Bob looked up, wiped the tears from his eyes and said, 'Your house.'
A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. As they stand at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter Paradise and meet their maker, God decides to grant each person one wish because of the grief they have experienced.
They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. "I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too." Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.
This goes on for a while with each one asking to be gorgeous, but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in the line starts laughing.
When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his head off.
Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what his wish will be.
The guy eventually calms down and says: "Make 'em all ugly again.
Leaving Work Early
Three girls all worked in the same office with the same female boss.
Each day, they noticed the boss left work early. One day, the girls decided that, when the boss left, they would leave right behind her. After all, she never called or came back to work, so how would she know they went home early?
The brunette was thrilled to be home early... She did a little gardening, spent playtime with her son, and went to bed early.
The redhead was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at the spa before meeting a dinner date.
The blonde was happy to get home early and surprise her husband, but when she got to her bedroom, she heard a muffled noise from inside. Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her husband in bed with her boss! Gently she closed the door and crept out of the house.
The next day, at their coffee break, the brunette and redhead planned to leave early again, and they asked the blonde if she was going to go with them.
"No way," the blonde exclaimed. "I almost got caught yesterday!"
The Bitter Truth!
A man is watching a game of golf on TV. But he keeps switching channels to a dirty movie featuring a lusty couple having raucous sex.
"I don't know whether to watch them or the game", he says to his wife.
"For Heaven's sake, watch them," his wife says.
"You already know how to play golf!"
One day while he was at the track playing the ponies and all but losing his shirt, Mitch noticed a priest who stepped out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race.
Lo and behold, that horse - a very long shot - won the race..
Before the next race, as the horses began lining up, Mitch watched with interest the priest step onto the track. Sure enough, as the 5th race horses came to the starting gate the priest made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses.
Mitch made a beeline for a betting window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race.
Mitch collected his winnings, and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest would bless for the 6th race.
The priest again blessed a horse.
Mitch bet big on it, and it won. Mitch was elated. As the races continued the priest kept blessing long shot horses, and each one ended up coming in first.
By now, Mitch was pulling in some serious money. By the last race, he knew his wildest dreams were going to come true. He made a quick dash to the ATM, withdrew all his savings, and awaited the priest's blessing that would tell him which horse to bet on..
True to his pattern, the priest stepped onto the track for the last race and blessed the forehead of an old nag that was the longest shot of the day. Mitch also observed the priest blessing the eyes, ears, and hooves of the old nag.
Mitch knew he had a winner and bet every cent he owned on the old nag. He then watched dumbfounded as the old nag come in dead last. Mitch, in a state of shock, made his way down to the track area where the priest was.
Confronting the old priest he demanded, "Father! What happened? All day long you blessed horses and they all won.. Then in the last race, the horse you blessed lost by a Kentucky mile. Now, thanks to you I've lost every cent of my savings -- all of it!".
The priest nodded wisely and with sympathy.. "Son," he said, "that's the problem with you Protestants, you can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and the last rites."
Four guys have been going to the same deer camp for many years. Two days before the
group is to leave, Ron's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going.
Ron's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do.
Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Ron sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cooking on the fire.
"Dang man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?"
"Well, I've been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, 'Guess who?'" I
pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new nightie. She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom. The room had candles and rose petals all over. On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did.
And then she said, "Do what ever you want."
So, Here I am.
The value of a Catholic education and a #2 pencil.
Little Susie was not the best student in Catholic School . Usually she slept through the class.
One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping.
'Tell me Susie, who created the universe?'
When Susie didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
'God Almighty!' shouted Susie.
The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class..
A little later the Nun asked Susie, 'Who is our Lord and Savior?'
But Susie didn't stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck her in the butt.
'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Susie.
And the Nun once again said, 'Very good,' and Susie fell back asleep.
The Nun asked her a third question...'What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'
Again, Johnny came to the rescue. This time Susie jumped up and shouted, 'If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'
The nun fainted.

*Poof* he turns into a girl scout.

A man came home from work one day to find his wife on the front porch with her bags packed.
'Just where the heck do you think you're going!', said the man.
'I'm going to Las Vegas', said the wife, 'I just found out I can get $400 a night for what I give you for free!
'The man said, 'Wait a minute!', and then ran inside the house only to come back a few minutes later with his suitcases in hand.
'Where the heck are you going?', said the wife.
The man said, I'm going with you, I want to see how you're gonna live on $800 a year!'
The guy is 72years old and loves to fish.
He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.'
He looked around and couldn't see anyone.
He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, 'Pick me up.'
He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog. The man said, 'Are you talking to me?'
The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.'
Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.
I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!'
The man looked at the frog for a short time,
reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.
The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.'
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'
A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was that there was no after life at all. After a long life together, the husband was the first to die.
True to his word, he made the first contact:
" Marion ... Marion "
"Is that you, Bob?"
"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"That's wonderful! What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times.
Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again"
"Oh, Bob are you in Heaven?"
"No...........I'm a rabbit in Arizona
The Sensitive Man
A woman meets a man in a bar.
They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together..
They get back to his place,
And as he shows her around his apartment.
She notices that one wall of his bedroom is
Completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears.
There are three shelves in the bedroom,
With hundreds and hundreds of cute,
Cuddly teddy bears carefully placed
In rows, covering the entire wall!
It was obvious that he had taken
Quite some time to lovingly arrange them
And she was immediately touched
By the amount of thought he had
Put into organizing the display.
There were small bears all along
The bottom shelf,
Medium-sized bears covering the
Length of the middle shelf,
And huge, enormous bears running
All the way along the top shelf.
She found it strange for an
Obviously masculine guy
To have such a large collection of
Teddy Bears,
They share a bottle of wine and
Continue talking and,
After awhile, she finds herself
'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy
Could be the one!
Maybe he could be the future
Father of my children?'
She turns to him and kisses him
Lightly on the lips
He responds warmly.
They continue to kiss, the passion builds,
And he romantically lifts her in
His arms and carries her into his bedroom
Where they rip off each other's
Clothes and make hot, steamy love.
She is so overwhelmed that she
Responds with more passion,
More creativity, more heat than she
Has ever known.
After an intense, explosive night
Of raw passion with this sensitive guy,
They are lying there together in
The afterglow.
The woman rolls over, gently
Strokes his chest and asks coyly,
'Well, how was it?'
The guy gently smiles at her,
Strokes her cheek,
Looks deeply into her eyes,
And says:
'Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf'

Bubba and Ray were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.
"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we don't have a ladder."
The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement, announced,"Eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away.
Ray shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like awoman! We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"
Bubba and Ray are currently doing government work.

Cesare posted this in an old pub, but it really also needs to be memorialized here .....
Tiger Oil Memos
Just too funny!!!
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip
to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the
hairdresser, who responded:
"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.
You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser.. " That's a terrible
airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and
they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome'sTiber River
called Teste."
"Don't go any further.. I know that place. Everybody thinks its
gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other
people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good
luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser
asked her about her trip to Rome.
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in
one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they
bumped us up to first class.. The food and wine were wonderful, and I
had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling
job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too,
were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite
at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I
know you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a
Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope
likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step
into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and
shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who the f**k did your hair?"
A Real Man
A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day.
He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible.
No wait... sorry...
I'm thinking of wine.
It's wine that does all that.
Never mind.
An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a "Curse" he has been living with for the last 40 years.
The Wizard says "Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you."
"The old man says without hesitation, "I now pronounce you man and wife".
Holidays ....
Thanksgiving is an emotional time. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year.
And then discover once a year is way too often.
-- Johnny Carson
The Supreme Court ruled against having a Nativity scene in Washington D.C.
This wasn't for religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
An elderly man in Louisiana had owned a large farm for several years.
He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.
He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'
The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.'
Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the alligator'
George Bush and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barber shop.
As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a
conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.
As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Obama in his chair reached for the aftershave.
Obama was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks, my wife Michelle will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse.'
The second barber turned to Bush and said, 'How about you sir ?' Bush replied, 'Go ahead; my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.'
On marriage .....
Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity.
Marriage is a ceremony that turns your dreamboat into a barge.
Marriage is the only sport which requires the trapped animal to buy the license.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
A smart husband buys his wife fine china, so she won't trust him to wash it.
I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.
The three stages of sex in marriage: Tri-weekly, Try weekly, and Try weakly.
But on the bright side ....
She offered her honor, he honored her offer, and all night it was offer and honor.
I recall my first time with a condom, I was 16 or so. I went in to buy a packet of condoms at Levin's pharmacy. There was this beautiful woman assistant behind the counter, and she could see that I was new at it. She handed me the package and asked if I knew how
to wear one.
I honestly answered, 'No, this is my first time.'
So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped it over her thumb. She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure. I apparently still looked confused. So, she looked all around the store to see if it was empty. It was...
'Just a minute,' she said, and walked to the door, and locked it. Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse and removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside. 'Do these excite you?' She asked.
Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do was nod my head. She then said it was time to slip the condom on. As I was slipping it on, she dropped her skirt, removed her panties and lay down on a desk.
'Well, come on', she said, 'We don't have much time.' So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful, that unfortunately, I could no longer hold back and KAPOW! - I was done within a few moments.
She looked at me with a bit of a frown. 'Did you put that condom on?' she asked.
I said, 'I sure did.' I then held up my thumb to show her.
She then beat the The Touch of Satan (1971)out of me....

Maria Isabel Buambua wants her epitaph to read 'Maria Isabel Buambua — A Citizen of the World.' To reach this goal Buambua plans to bridge countries together through their finances and economics. Growing up in Brazil, then moving to Angola before finally moving to Houston to attend the University of St. Thomas, Buambua already understands how incredibly globalized the world is and wants to see cooperation between countries improved.
Buambua, a senior economics major, discovered her love for economics while at UST. After taking economics classes and completing an internship at the Houston branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, Buambua jumped at the chance to be one of the first graduates from the newly revived economics major.
"I think Dr. Barry Willbratte made economics very tangible, Dr. Pierre Canac made it fun and Dr. Hassan Shirvani got me really into it," Buambua said. "When I found out they were making an economics major it was just this is a good fit. "I didn't even think twice. I talked to Dr. Beena George, my advisor and told her she needed to sign my major declaration form."
The economics degree program is a new addition to the AACSB—accredited Cameron School of Business. The program exposes students to social science concepts central to business and governmental decision-making, society's allocation of resources, international relations among competing economics and ethics in commerce. The economics program encompasses micro and macroeconomics, international economics, money and banking, labor markets, cost benefit analysis, economic development and theory. While at St. Thomas, Buambua put her study into practice by getting involved with the Social Entrepreneurship Program. Buambua joined the organization her freshman year and now serves as the current president. SEP is s student run organization that fundraises to give microloans to impoverished individuals in developing countries so that they may become self-reliant entrepreneurs. Buambua got involved her freshman year and is now serving as president.
"With SEP, we say 'Here is a microloan,'" Buambua said. "'You can have your own business; you can be self-reliant; you can send your kids to school; you can give them and education; you can make them a better person or give them a better future than the one you had and you can improve your own future, and you can help the community.'"
Long term, Buambua would like to have a career where she is able to positively influence the world. Whether that means working for the Federal Bank and working in monetary policy or going into international business to build bridges between cultures and companies, Buambua wants to take it on.
"One of the most important lessons I learned was from Dr. Canac," Buambua said. "He said cooperation is key. He meant in an international economic context, but I think it is true for life."

- First off, you can't bring a grand piano through the checkpoint.
- Instruments can be checked or carried on the plane. Check with your airline about stowing your instrument in the cabin (Especially if it is a larger instrument such as a cello) prior to travel so you can fully understand their policies.
- If you have a fragile instrument such as a stringed instrument, it is suggested you carry it on the aircraft. Brass instruments are safe to check as luggage as long as you have the proper case.
- Our officers need to either X-ray, or physically inspect your musical instrument. You'll be involved in the process as much as possible. Basically, you can advise the officer the best way to handle the instrument, but you won't be able to touch it until the inspection is complete.
- Your instrument may need to undergo an explosives trace detection test which involves running a soft cotton or paper swab across the case and instrument.
- It is not uncommon to check instruments as checked luggage and there are manufacturers that make road worthy and tough travel cases that will prevent damage. So basically, it wouldn't be wise to put your guitar in a soft sided case and check it as luggage.
- If your instrument is a collector's item and you are uncomfortable with others seeing what you have, you can request a private screening.
- When checking your instrument as checked baggage, include short written instructions, where an officer will notice them, for handling and repacking your instrument. Make sure these instructions are very clear and understandable to someone with no musical background.
- If you check your instrument as luggage, be sure it is either unlocked, or that you are using a TSA recognized lock. If your case is locked with a lock we can't open, we may have to remove the lock if the instrument needs to be inspected.
Q: Why did the man eat the Oboe? A: He had a strange taste in music.
Q: What is the difference between an Oboe and a Bassoon? A: You can hit a baseball further with a Bassoon.
Q: How do you fix a broken Tuba? A: With a tuba glue.
Q: What do you do when a drummer knocks on your door? A: Pay them for the pizza.
Two musicians are walking down the street, and one says to the other, "Who was that piccolo I saw you with last night?" The other replies, "That was no piccolo, that was my fife."

I've been pounding the table pretty hard on investment bubbles lately. Probably because in the last decade, I've experienced more popped bubbles than I care to remember.
Or perhaps it's that I'm constantly amazed by the herding behavior of humans. After all, we're not that different from the rest of the animals on Earth, so it's not difficult to believe that if our neighbor, our dentist, the stock analyst on CNBC, and even our local 6 o'clock news anchor says that everyone is doing it, that we're afraid we're going to be the Poindexter standing in the corner all by our lonesome.
Hey, if it worked so successfully for Obama's behavioral psychologist dream team, why shouldn't the "people want to do what they think others will do" vibe work on investors after the quick buck? It's not mind control per se, it's just a few highly intelligent prognosticators coming up with clever ways to get you to do something… before you know you want to do it.
Since I've gotten a fair amount of feedback — both for and against the presence of a gold bubble — I thought it would be fun to graphically examine the psychology of an investment bubble as it's forming and after it has popped.
Moreover, what the emotions are like as different types of investors (value investors, fast money momentum traders, and Everyday Joe retail investors) were thinking as the newest investing fad forms a bubble, then quickly bursts.
Stealth Phase
More than likely, these are the value investors and buy on the dips investors. They're probably the most infuriatingly patient and purposely coy investors on the planet because they will wait for months or years to get the right P/E ratio or the bad earnings report, and swoop in to buy as much as they can while it's cheap as dirt. They really don't care what the rest of the world is investing in at the time, they just want to get maximum value for their money invested. These are the Warren Buffett's and Wilber Ross' of the investing world.
Awareness Phase
These are the big money institutional investors who pour over stock charts and fundamental analysis screening programs 18 hours a day, and have a dedicated research team to be on the lookout for new opportunities. It's their job to do the research, read everything down to the 10Ks, and beat the bushes to find the growth of a sector or commodity before anyone else does.
Mania Phase
This is when the investment goes 100% mainstream. It will get mentioned in every publication from the Wall Street Journal to The Today Show. This is when the bubble often traps the retail investor by showing past performance and gives the illusion of future appreciation (there is a reason why investments say past performance does not guarantee future returns). Then it begins to act a bit of a euphoric or narcotic like effect where it blinds the part of the brain that says "Wake Up You Smuck!" and all they think about 20% gains in a month and two stock splits a year. In other words, it's purely unobtainable mania brought about by something proverbially spiking the punchbowl.
Blow Off Phase (aka – Bailout Phase)
Usually accompanied by a "it will come back" mentality and a general lack of comprehension that you've just been screwed but haven't gotten the morning after thank you call. The big institutional investors and fast money traders will have predetermined stop loss orders in place, and when those are tripped in mass quantity, the bottom completely falls out and panic selling begins. The best traders will also begin to pile on the shorts accelerating the sell off. IN the end, the value will be pushed below the historical trendline since we're just as likely to overreact on the downside just as much as we'll overreact on the upside.
Oil Bubble
Who can forget that pesky thing called an oil bubble? You know you loved paying $4 to $5 for a gallon of gas… especially when you drove a SUV that cost around $100 to fill up every five days.
Notice the massive run up to $147 and the horrendous sell off back down to $35 per barrel. It took 5 years to create this bubble, but when it popped, man … look out below! [echos]
See any similarities between this chart, and the psychology of bubbles graphic above?
It almost makes you say WTF! Take a look at the massive deviation from the historical trendline. It begs the question if the real estate bubble was artificially created (thank you Rubin, Greenspan and Wall Street) or if we had legalized marijuana back in 2000 and got happy with the mortgage paperwork.
Who can forget the good ol' tech bubble? That much loved period when America could do no wrong and any crappy company could create a website and double in value two months later. Sad thing was that these companies had great fundamentals (according to most everyone) and the huge run up in prices was sufficiently validated.
And you were vilified if you said anything to the contrary.
It was such a fiasco that finally in late 2009 — a decade later — that a small number of those high flying tech stocks are finally breaking even on their old 1999-2000 highs.
Now that gold has breached $1000 and apparently destined to above this price point forever, it almost makes you wonder if we're just setting ourselves up for the same thing.
But take a look at the chart, the newspapers, and the people around you. Can you see the similarities between gold and the rest of these bubbles? Can you connect the dots?
Sure, gold has some good fundamental reasons for being above $1000 per ounce, but if you're late to the party, do you really want to invest at these levels knowing that going long gold (and shorting the U.S. Dollar) are the most crowded trades on Wall Street in late 2009?
~ ~ ~
Disclosure: I'm neither long nor short gold. I'm just a guy on the sidelines making observations about the gold rush.
Are you saying we aren't going to Gold $2,000 and Dow 20,000 by year-end 2010?
Could be $2000 per ounce, maybe $3000/ounce. Who knows?
I'd bet on the Doomsday scenario happening in 2012 before the Dow hit 20k by end of 2010. ; )
Not a gold bull or anything but it may also be that today's levels may actually turn out to be a good entry point. While future is uncertain, so is the future of the US dollar.
@ Arohan,
That's certainly a possibility, but I tend to get suspicious once the charts go from linear to exponential. I think it's just a case of too far, too fast.
since i have started investing early, i want to be "the warren buffetts and wilber ross' of this world". These annoyingly patient investors seem to laugh last all the time and then when the wait has paid off big, we call the investing geniuses while it was just good research and patient investing (this is really resounded in all the books that these super investors have endorsed and since it seems to work for them, i guess it is the way for me)
@ Kenyantykoon,
I've been trying to do the same thing lately. That's why I mentioned the "buy on the dips" investing/trading mentality of guys like Buffett and Ross. Not sure if I'll ever get there, but it's just a matter of seeing the diamonds in the rough or being a savvy vulture investor and swooping in at the appropriate time (when everyone says it's over, might be the best time to buy).
Love the psychology graph…it probably makes me chuckle because I'm new to investing and wasn't in the game during any of those past bubbles!
Ok, Matt… I bet the world doesn't come to an end by end-2012 either. :)
Think of an engine equipped with a governor. If there is a load increase and speed drops, the governor senses the speed drop, pulls the throttle open, which increases power, and the speed goes back to the desired level. Similarly, if there is load loss and the speed increases, the governor closes the throttle, which decreases power and the speed returns to the desired value.
Why don't asset values behave that way? For example, when gold is at a high value like now or 1980, why isn't there a massive sell off, which holds the price down? Similarly, in 1999 when gold was cheap, why wasn't there a frenzy of panic buying to get in at the lower price? Some food for thought.
You're implying that humans (which set the asset values) behave in a rational, mechanically "governed", perfect common sense method. If behavioral economics teaches us one thing, it is that we are from that capability.
But, in regards to the question of in 1999 when gold was cheap, why wasn't there a frenzy of panic buying to get in at the lower price? my answer is because people go where the action is, and where mainstream media tells them to go.
In 1999, you were a fool if you didn't own JDS Uniphase or CMGI. In 2011, it's gold, silver, fertilizer.
Trends change, and when this happens on Wall Street, it usually happens violently with the Greater Fools bearing the heaviest burden.
OK. I agree that the man-beast is a lemming at heart. But we used to be on a gold standard for good reason. Now we are off and as long as the USD is falling I don't see how Au/Ag can't continue upward. Same goes for oil as long as the USD is the reserve currency. But perhaps the real question is when to sell. Your psych maps suggest that you should wait for the first dip after the exponential peak then buy like crazy until you reach the original maximum then selloff. Could it be that simple? That is, wait for the market to go critical, buy on the dead cat bounce, and sell near the original peak?
@ Gary,
I don't think there is a definitive point where we "should" sell, because no one but a lucky few will time it precisely right.
But the smart money, as quaint as it sounds, buys cheap and goes long only to liquidate smaller portions of their position into strength.
It's not all that sexy because you can't say you sold at the absolute top, but very few people go broke by taking profits.
This is one of those scenarios where the fear of not making enough money or the trader across from you making more money than you — greed — plays tricks on the mind overruling the rational side of your brain.
If you can't overrule it, best to at least acknowledge it so that when the decline happens, you know to get out before the panic selling begins.
Well Gold has just been added to the major indices on the Yahoo finance home page http://finance.yahoo.com (Nasdaq, Dow, S&P 10 yr bond Oil and now Gold). If that doesn't scream that Gold is at or near its top then I don't know what does.

Bottomless Lakes State Park was New Mexico's first state park, claimed by the state in 1933. There are seven small park lakes bordered by high red bluffs, Bottomless Lakes State Park offers a variety of sports including hiking, swimming, fishing, and scuba diving. The lakes are water filled sinkholes in the local gypsum terrain. Odd geology and water chemistry create homes for unusual plants and animals, like the Pecos sunflower. Lea Lake is the deepest lake at 90 feet and is the only lake where swimming is allowed. During summer, visitors can rent paddleboards and pedal boats for a small fee. Devil's Inkwell is 32 ft. deep and is named for its steep sides and dark water, the result of algae growth. This lake, as well as Cottonwood Lake, are stocked with rainbow trout in winter.
Bottomless Lakes State Park is located approximately 13 miles east of Roswell, New Mexico south of US 380. The campground has 32 well-spaced sites with electricity (20/30, some 50 amp) and water. Six sites have sewer connections. There are nicely designed covered picnic tables and grills. The campground is situated at the base of a hill that has exposed red soil and rocks.
Bottomless Lakes State Park visitors enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, sailing, wildlife watching and scuba diving. The property contains 1,400 acres, 45 acres of which is lake surface. The entry gate is open 24 hours a day but the campground/day-use area is locked from 9 pm to 7 am during the summer months.

Head 12 miles east from Roswell on US Hwy. 380, then south on NM 409 for about 7 miles.
Dedicated in 1933, Bottomless Lakes was New Mexico's first designated State Park. It is a twelve mile drive east of Roswell on U. S. Highway 380, then seven miles south on New Mexico Highway 409.
The lakes are bottomless in name only. None is more than ninety feet deep, but the illusion of great depth and the greenish blue color is created by algae and other aquatic plants covering the lake bottoms. In actuality, they are sink holes rather than lakes and range in depth from 17 to 90 feet. They were formed when circulating underground water dissolved salt and gypsum deposits to form subterranean caverns. Ultimately, the roofs of the caverns collapsed from their own weight to form the sink holes that soon filled with water. They are all quite small and only Lea Lake is large enough to support swimming and other water recreational activities. It is on the south end of the group, where the day use and camping areas are located.
All the lakes are on the east side of the road, as is the Interpretative Visitors Center. Near the Visitors Center a short nature trail leads from here to nearby Mirror Lake, so named for the beautiful reflection of the red bluffs surrounding it. It is 50 feet deep and provides a home for various species of fish. Rare species of Pecos pupfish and rainwater killifish are inhabitants. Fishing is allowed year-round, where stocked, if you have a New Mexico State fishing license with a trout validation.
The Devil's Inkwell is also stocked with rainbow trout in the winter. Overnight campsites, drinking water and chemical toilets are available nearby.
Lea Lake, the largest of the lakes, is the only place where you can swim or rent hydro bikes, paddle boards or rafts for a nominal fee, from the first weekend in May through Labor Day. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer, and the sandy beach is well-maintained.
This area is also famous for "Pecos Diamonds." They aren't diamonds but are quartz crystals formed inside gypsum. Now and then the gypsum crumbles away, exposing the "diamonds."
Recently, because of the clarity of the water, scuba diving has become popular. In the summer when the water comes in, it is cool. Then when the lake water warms up, the temperature differences cause such clarity; visibility is fifty to sixty feet.
The nearby city of Roswell offers a number of "out of this world" attractions such as the UFO Museum and the Robert H. Goddard Planetarium.
