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!

Jorn Olsen works for the Dutton-Lainson Co. in Hastings, Nebraska, and lives by Heartwell Park next to Hastings College. The other night he took these photos. The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium just east of his home.
The clouds are called Mammatus clouds. They do not precede a tornado, or foretell a storm, but are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these kinds of clouds are seen.
They are quite rare, but really beautiful.

Joke Of The Week
One night, at the lodge of a hunting club, two new members were being introduced to other members and shown around. The man leading them around said, “See that old man asleep in the chair by the fireplace? He is our oldest member and can tell you some hunting stories you’ll never forget.”
They awakened the old man and asked him to tell them a story.
“Well, I remember back in 1944, we went on a lion hunting expedition in Africa. We were on foot and hunted for three days without seeing a thing. On the fourth day, I was so tired I had to rest my feet. I found a fallen tree, so I laid my gun down, propped my head on the tree, and fell asleep. I don’t know how long I was asleep when I was awakened by a noise in the bushes. I was reaching for my gun when the biggest damn lion I’d ever seen jumped out of the bushes at me like this: RRROOAAARRR!!!
……….I tell you, I just shit my pants.”
The young men looked astonished and one of them said, “I don’t blame you, I would have shit my pants too if a lion jumped out at me.”
The old man shook his head and said, “No, no, no… not back then, just now, when I said RRROOAAARRR!!!”

Joke Of The Week
During class, a teacher trying to teach good manners asks the students, one by one
“Michael, if you were on a date, having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the rest room,” she asked.
“Just a minute, I have to go pee”, he said.
The teacher replied, “That would be rude and impolite.
What about you John, how would you say it?”
“I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back.”
The teacher responded, “That’s better, but it’s still not very mannerly to say the word ‘bathroom’ at the table.”
And you Peter, are you able to use your intelligence for once and show us your good manners.
I would say:
“Darling, may I please be excused for a moment, I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you’ll get to meet after dinner.

***After this email, I traded several more with Rob and found out that he is a very talented web developer behind a bunch of cool sites including www.batmanandrob.com. He told me he was a long-time fan of shortarmguy.com which he discovered years ago after I linked to one of his websites called www.americatriumphant.com. I’m hoping Rob will send more of his incredible creations!
I had an interesting exchange with my friend, Anne. I’m hoping she won’t get upset that I post it here, but I enjoyed her response so much I thought It was my nicest email of the week!
She forwarded me this email:
On the 11 am news! chip implants for humans!! computer chip implants!! how long have we been watching for this?! I was horrified a few years ago when they were implanting in animals! does this make anyone else nervous?? how easily this could turn into the 666 that can keep up with anyone , anywhere, anytime… and you could not buy or sell without the chip! watch for more of this on he news!! ordered off the internet… and implanted into your left hand!!
I responded with the following:
Interesting theory….then again, if the prophesies in the bible are true and this is the mark of the beast that is supposed to happen before end times….this would mean Jesus would be coming back to Earth soon. Wouldn’t that be considered a good thing? Wouldn’t we welcome the things that are foretold in Revelations? I’ve never understood the reason to panic at the potential of stuff like this…it seems to me that true followers of Jesus should be anxious for the 2nd Coming?
Or am I missing something there??
This was her response:
Ryan and Dave from England sent another fun video to Shortarmguy.com.
This time, it’s their tribute to the Great Benny Hill

I consider myself a spiritual guy and I will pray for your Dad. My brother has Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and he will be getting radiation soon.
I pray if it comes down to it, I will be a match for your Dad if he needs a marrow transplant; I’ve been on the donor list since 1995 and still waiting for the call. Love your website and its helped me pass the time while I wait for back surgery some time soon I hope.

Dear Short Arm Guy
Joke Of The Week
“You must understand, I’ve lived alone all my life, I rarely see anyone, and I don’t like to go out. Would it be possible for the lawyer to come to my house?” the elderly woman asked.
The receptionist checked with the attorney who agreed and went to the spinster’s home to discuss her estate and the will.
The lawyer’s first question was, “Would you please tell me what you have in assets and how you’d like them to be distributed under your will?”
“I have $40,000 in my savings account at the bank,” she replied.
“Tell me just how would you like the $40,000 to be distributed?” the lawyer asked.
“Well, as I’ve told you, I’ve lived a reclusive life, people have hardly ever noticed me, so I’d like them to notice when I pass on,” said the woman.” I’d like to provide $35,000 for my funeral.”
“Well, for $35,000 you will be able to have a funeral that will certainly be noticed and will leave a lasting impression on anyone who may not have taken much note of you!” the lawyer exclaimed. “I need to know what would you like to do with the remaining $5,000?”
The spinster replied, “As you know, I’ve never married and the fact is I’ve never slept with a man. So before I die, I’d like you to use the $5,000 to arrange for a man to sleep with me just once.”
“This is a very unusual request,” the lawyer said, adding “but I’ll see what I can do to arrange it and get back to you.”
That evening, the lawyer was at home telling his wife about the eccentric spinster and her weird request. After thinking about how much she could do around the house with $5,000 and with a bit of coaxing, she got her husband to agree to provide the service himself.
The next morning, she drove him to the spinster’s house and waited while he went in. She waited for over an hour, but her husband didn’t come out, so she blew the car horn.
Shortly, the upstairs bedroom window opened, the lawyer stuck his head out and yelled,
“Pick me up tomorrow, she’s going to let the county bury her.”
