DIE HARD
Did you know: The Die Hard movies of Bruce Willis are entirely improvised? The director merely provides a set and some weapons, and some Germans or something, and turns Willis loose in front of the cameras. Bruce Willis was born in Germany and can recognize their accents.

What things do you know?

Once upon a time, there was a NY mob boss who hired a deaf-mute bookkeeper so that secrets would be safe. One day, he realized that the bookkeeper had embezzled $3 million from him, so he took his lawyer -- who spoke sign language -- and went to visit the man. When they got their, the boss said, "Tell him I know he embezzled $3 million and he'd better tell me where it is!" The lawyer signs it, and the bookkeeper signes back, "I don't know what he's talking about!"

"Well?" says the boss, "What'd he say?"

"He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

At that, the mobster pulls out a gun and points it at the bookkeeper. "Tell him he has thirty seconds to tell me or he's history!" The lawyer signs it.

"OK, OK!" signs the man. "It's hidden under my garage in Statten Island!"

"Well?" says the boss. "What'd he say?"

The lawyer responds, "He says you don't have the guts to shoot!"

Little Felix is having a test from a child psychologist.
”Now, Felix,” says the shrink, ”what do you want to be when you grow up?”
”I want to be a doctor, an artist, or a window cleaner,” replies Felix.
”I see,” says the puzzled shrink, ”you’re not very clear about it, are you?”
”What?” says Felix. ”I am perfectly clear. I want to see naked women!”

It's the Spanish Inquisition (unexpected, I know!) and a community of Jews are about to be expelled. Their Jews protest fiercely, but all seems hopeless--the Pope will grant one Jew one debate to make their case, and if they lose, they must all go.

Off to the side of the protest, a janitor named Moishe says he can beat the Pope.

Having nobody better to go with, everyone holds their breath as the debate begins--

Now, Moishe doesn't know a lick of Latin or Italian, and the Pope isn't exactly a whiz when it comes to Spanish or Hebrew, either, so they agree on a silent debate, the Pope from a balcony, and Moishe on the ground--

The Pope points to the sky.
Moishe points to the ground.
The Pope holds up bread for communion.
Moishe holds up an apple.
The Pope holds up three fingers.
Moishe holds up one.

The Pope, truly shocked, thinks to himself for a moment, and declares that the Jews are to stay.

His Cardinals are shocked as well--"What did he say, how did you decide?"

"Well," says the Pope, "I pointed to the sky, to indicate our duty to our Father in Heaven, and he responded by pointing to the ground, indicating the importance of observing and upholding our Lord's word here on Earth. I held up the bread to symbolize the need for communion, and he held up an Apple to symbolize the need to always remember the First Sin. I held up three fingers, for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and he held up one finger for the One True Faith. Oh, I tell you, that man is truly the wisest and most brilliant debater on Earth!"

At the same time, the Jews are ask Moishe for his account of the debate:

"Well, he pointed up, like he wanted me to schlep up all those flights of stairs, so I told him I'm standing right here! He held up his lunch for some reason, so, why not, I held up mine. Finally, he holds up three fingers to me--so I answer back with the one finger that matters!"

Two old Jewish men are walking down the street. They pass a Catholic church that has a sign out, "Convert today and get $100!" Marty stops and looks at the sign thoughtfully for a minute. "What are you doing?" asks Abe. "You know, I'm thinking of doing it," says Marty. "Are you crazy?!" says Abe. "No! I'm doing it!" says Marty after another minute.

So he goes inside the church while Abe waits on the sidewalk. Half an hour later, Marty comes back out. "Well," asks Abe, "did you get your $100?" "Man," says Marty, "is that all you people think about?"

A husband and wife decided they needed to use ‘code’ to indicate that they wanted to have sex without letting their children in on it. They decided on the word Typewriter.
One day the husband told his five year old daughter, ‘Go tell your mommy that daddy needs to type a letter’.
The child told her mother what her dad said, and her mom responded, ‘Tell your daddy that he can't type a letter right now cause there is a red ribbon in the typewriter.’ The child went back to tell her father what mommy said.
A few days later the mom told the daughter, ‘Tell daddy that he can type that letter now.’
The child told her father, returned to her mother and announced, ‘Daddy said never mind with the typewriter, he already wrote the letter by hand.’

A little old Jewish man is walking down the street one afternoon when he sees a woman with perfect breasts.
He says to her, ‘Hey miss, would you let me bite your breasts for $100?’
‘Are you nuts?!!!’ she replies, and keeps walking away.
He turns around, runs around the block and gets to the corner before she does.
‘Would you let me bite your breasts for $1,000 dollars?’ he asks again.
‘Listen you; I'm not that kind of woman! Got it?’
So the little old Jewish man runs around the next block and faces her again; ‘Would you let me bite your breasts just once for $10,000 dollars?’
She thinks about it for a while and says, ‘Hmmm, $10,000 dollars; Ok, just once, but not here. Let's go to that dark alley over there.’
So they go into the alley, where she takes off her blouse to reveal the most perfect breasts in the world.
As soon as he sees them, he grabs them and starts caressing them, fondling them slowly, kissing them, licking them, burying his face in them, but not biting them.
The woman finally gets annoyed and asks, ‘Well? Are you gonna bite them or not?’
‘Nah’, says the little old Jewish man... ‘Costs too much...’
I've heard the Dutch are the only people in the world who can buy from the Jews and sell to the Scots and still make a profit on the exchange.

Also, the high school changed its sports teams' names to the Inquisitors so that opposing teams would know there was a lot at stake.

If you bang on a window with a sponge you can't really attract the attention of the costumer. maybe i'm wrong but that's what i understood.

That was a joke? come on, even a easy misogynistic joke would have worked better ;-)

A husband to his wife :
- "Honey, do you smell that?"
- "No."
- "Yeah, me neither, start cooking."

Or any joke really:

A boy and a girl ask their teacher :
- "Can kids of our age have kids?"
- "NO Never!" says the shocked teacher
So the boy says to the girl :
- "see i told you not to worry!"

Soaking Mormons
I have heard that in the Mormon faith, pre-marital sex is only sinful if it involves vigorous movement. I have also heard that Mormon teens therefore practice "soaking", which involves penetrating the female partner, but then remaining still. They believe this is not sinful. Is this for real?
