Let me tell you one:
Two old sisters live in a very small town in Central America,far from the big cites, in this wonderful isolated tiny place ,where they only have one church,and time stands still since the 1800's.
One morning, after the Sunday Mass the piest decides to pay a visit to the old sisters,worried about their advanced age and frailing health.
As soon as he enters the beautiful historic home-he goes to the parlor where he waits for them to join him.
He realizes on top of the magnificent antique organ, lies a condom-
extended,like a most exquisite ornament -for all to see.
Puzzled he asks the old sisters why have they decided to give the condom such a place of honor.
The oldest one says:
oh Father, the most wonderful thing happened to us,we found this at the steps of the church entrance!"
We weren't sure what it was -so we decided to follow the instructions:
open and extend over the organ."
So that's what we did!

How to explain it to a girl!!! :-)

Nothing to do with doctors and nurses but this is the offside rule....hope you enjoy and understand



You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire.

Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.

She prepares to throw her purse to you.

If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes.

Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.
