    Just a little humor for nerds (everyone needs a break afterall):

    A man and his wife go to the site of their honeymoon for their 25th anniversary. As the couple is reflecting on that magical evening 25 years ago, the wife asks the husband, "When you first saw my naked body in front of you, what was going through your mind?"

    The husband replies, "All I wanted to do was fuck your brains out and suck your tits dry."

    "What are you thinking now?" the wife asks as she undresses.

    The husband quickly replies: "It looks like I did a pretty good job."

    A man and his wife are in the shower together when the doorbell rings. The wife puts on a robe and goes down to answer the door.

    In walks her husband's friend Ben. The woman tells him her husband's in the shower and asks if he can come back later. Instead, Ben steps in and quietly says, "I have $400 in my pocket. I'll give it to you if you'll open your bathrobe for me." She's offended, but really needs the money so she agrees, opens her robe, and lets Ben have a quick peek before doing it up again. Ben gives her the $400, and she opens the door for him to leave, but he says, "I have another $400 in my other pocket. I'll give it to you if you let me touch your breasts." Now she's really mortified, but again, she needs the money, so she undoes her robe and lets him have a quick feel. Taking the other $400 from him, she lets him out the door.

    Going back upstairs, she gets back in the shower with her husband, feeling a little bit guilty.

    "Who was that?" the husband asks.

    "Oh, that was just Ben," the wife answers.

    "Ben?" the husband says. "That son of a bitch owes me 800 bucks!"

    Country Style

    A city slicker shoots a duck out in the country. As he's retrieving it, a farmer walks up and stops him, claiming that since the duck is on his farm, it technically belongs to him. After minutes of arguing, the farmer proposes they settle the matter "country style."

    "What's country style?" asks the city boy.

    "Out here in the country," the farmer says, "when two fellers have a dispute, one feller kicks the other one in the balls as hard as he can. Then that feller, why, he kicks the first one as hard as he can. And so forth. Last man standin' wins the dispute."

    Warily the city boy agrees and prepares himself. The farmer hauls off and kicks him in the groin with all his might. The city boy falls to the ground in the most intense pain he's ever felt, crying like a baby and coughing up blood. Finally he staggers to his feet and says, "All right, n-now it's-it's m-my turn."

    The farmer grins. "Aw, hell, you win. Keep the duck."

    Been doing a lot of meta mods lately. Hope I get the one that put you as off topic as I disagree. Perhaps the moderation was mistaken. I got a well deserved meta mod myself recently that I made for someone's post off topic when it was humorous. I think that I did not catch that the pulldown changed when I tried to scroll down with the wheel mouse.

    Anyway I found your post funny and others have put it to +2. Someone should work up a set of explanations for the letter modifiers, 'a' for almost, b for basic, etc.

    Although the odds are not good anyway, I probably won't get to meta-mod this because I posted.
