This is from the newsletter I get in my e-mail:

"So, Wesley Clark is running for president. Pretty amazing guy. Four star general, first in his class at West Point, supreme commander of NATO, saw combat in Vietnam, won the bronze star, silver star, the purple heart for being wounded in battle. See, I'm no political expert, but that sounds pretty good next to choking on a pretzel, falling off a scooter and dropping the dog."
-Jay Leno

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass." "If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:

1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J. C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me"
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry,"
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

Ojama shimasu, Aiko-sama...

If I may share ONE more haiku... (I know, I know, my "poetry" looks kinda like a... Godzilla movie... but you know the old koto-waza: jishin, kaminari, kaji, oyaji... TO haiku!!!) Anywayz, here goes:
----------------------------------
"Bengoshi otoshi waza"

He tumbles and falls...
skateboard and head on concrete...
too funny for words...

Hospital people...
loud sirens and flashing lights...
the young lad is saved...

A cop now assists...
Tickets for all ambulances...
parking in... red... zones...

Briefcase clutched firmly,
a lawyer shouting "Justice!!!"
He offers his hand...

"Better yet, money!"
Legal rights explained, and now...
The lad signs papers...

Later... victory!!!
And a lawyer's parting words...
"Well, then... 'Til next... fall??? "
