Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement.
The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this June from 72 to only 54. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs, (B.O.O.M.), responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action.
General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth."
Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, "We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace."
"Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don't like cutting pension benefits, but I'd hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up."
Spokespersons for the union in the Northeast of England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the strike would not affect their operations as "There are no virgins in our areas anyway."
A strike may not be necessary, however, as the number of suicide bombings has been decreasing lately. This has been attributed to the emergence of the Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle. Now that Muslims know what a virgin looks like, they are not so keen on going to paradise.

strawberries.'

Medical funnies
Embarrassing Medical Exams
1. A man comes into the ER and yells . . .' My wife's going
to have her baby in the cab.' I grabbed my stuff, rushed
out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress and began to take
off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were
several cabs - - - and I was in the wrong one.
Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Francisco
2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on
an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior
chest wall. 'Big breaths,'. . . I instructed. 'Yes, they
used to be,'. . .replied the patient.
Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle , WA
3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a
wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial
infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her
reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a
'massive internal fart.'
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg
4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with
his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was
having trouble with one of his medications. 'Which one?' I
asked. 'The patch. The Nurse told me to put on a new one
every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put
it!' I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped
I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his
body!
Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch
before applying a new one.
Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk , VA
5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I
asked, 'How long have you been bedridden?' After a look of
complete confusion she answered 'Why, not for about twenty
years - when my husband was alive.'
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson - Corvallis, OR
6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and
while checking up on a man I asked 'So how's your breakfast
this morning?' 'It's very good except for the Kentucky
Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste' Bob replied.
I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil
packet labeled 'KY Jelly.'
Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit
7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young
woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk,
sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange
clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the
patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for
immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the
operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had
been dyed green and above it there was a tattoo that read
'Keep off the grass.'
Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short
note on the patient's dressing, which said 'Sorry ... had
to mow the lawn.'

8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB I was quite
embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover
my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of
whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was
performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and
further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and
sheepishly said 'I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?'
She replied with tears running down her cheeks from
laughing so hard 'No doctor but the song you were whistling
was 'I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener''.

Baby's First Doctor Visit
This made me laugh out loud. I hope it will give you a

A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room,
waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first
exam. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked
his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby
was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
'Breast-fed,' she replied.
'Well, strip down to your waist,' the doctor ordered.
She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and
rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and
detailed examination. Motioning to her to get dressed, the
doctor said, 'No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't
have any milk.'
I know,' she said, 'I'm his Grandma, But I'm glad I came.'

You might live in Montana.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction,
You might live inMontana
If you can identify a southern or eastern accent,
You might live in Montana.
If your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce,
You might live in Montana.
If a brat is something you eat,
You might live in Montana.
If finding your misplaced car keys involves looking in the ignition,
You might live in Montana.
If you go out to a fish fry every Friday,
You might live in Montana.
If you find 0 degrees "a little warm,"
You might live in Montana.
If you actually understand these observations, and you forward them to all your Montana friends,
You must be from Montana.

11th husband
The 11th Husband...
A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced 10 husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband to "Please be gentle; I'm still a Virgin".
"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be
"Husband # 2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function; but he said he'd look into it and get back with me.
"Husband # 3 was from Field Services; he said that everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
"Husband # 4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
"Husband # 5 was an Engineer, he understood the basic process but he wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state of the-art method.
"Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
"Husband # 7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it..
"Husband # 8 was a Psychiatrist; all he did was talk about it.
"Husband # 9 was a Gynecologist; all he did was look at it.
"Husband # 10 was a Stamp Collector; all he ever did was lick it...... God I miss him.
" But now that I've married you, I'm so excited".
"Wonderful", said the husband, "but why?
"You're with the
"GOVERNMENT"
This time I KNOW I'M gonna get screwed."
