Shortarmguy’s Crazy Emails Jan01

On this page, I will post the funniest emails I receive on any given day.  So email shortarmguy@aol.com the best stuff you get.  I’ll only post the cream of the crop and not the other crap I get.  Although I didn’t create the items on this list, my feeling is that they’re in the public domain since they were emailed to me with 600 other people.  So no more damn copyright lawsuits!

**Rule Changes From Last Year**

When playing polio patients, the Vikings must not disconnect knee braces.

When playing the Blind Academy, they must not hide the football under their
jerseys.

**Rules The Same From Last Year**

A touchdown (this is when the ball is carried over the goal line for all you Viking fans that have never seen this) is still worth 6 points.  The Vikings will be allowed 20 men on the field at all times.  The Vikings will be allowed to substitute with band members at any time.  The Vikings will be awarded 10 timeouts as opposed to 3 for the opposing team.  The Vikings will be awarded a first down with each gain of three yards or more
**Name Change**

The Minnesota Vikings will be changed to the “Minnesota Tampons” as they
 are only good for one period and have no second string.

**Coaching Changes**

Green will be replaced by Monica Lewinsky. She will no doubt blow a few, but she certainly won’t choke on the big ones!!!!

1. Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people – whether they are employed or not.

2. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.

3. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don’t worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.

4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.

5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to
attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

6. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly
bluish.

 7. If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.

 8. Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.

 9. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses,
pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.

10. All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the
man lying beside her.

11. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

13. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off–even while scuba diving.

14. You’re very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your
sweetheart back home.

15. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do.

16. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

17. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

18. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

19. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

20. Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will always say: Enter Password Now.

21. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

22. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they’re going to go off.

25. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.
