weeweechu ?
It's a romantic full moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu."
Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita.
Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro begged.
"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Rosita.
Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me."
Rosita looked at Pedro and said, "OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu."
Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....
"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

We are in trouble...
The population of this country is 300 million.
160 million are retired. That leaves 140 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school. Which leaves 55 million to do the work.
Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government. Leaving 15 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden. Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city
Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals. Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And there you are, Sitting on your ass,
At your computer, reading jokes.
Nice. Real nice.

"A crap sandwhich with cheese"
Aired Monday night on NBC: Today, the House of Representatives voted against the Wall Street bailout plan, a plan which House Minority Leader John Boehner called a “crap sandwich.” Congress is already working on a new plan, which they call a “crap sandwich with cheese.”
Now, today, when the stock market closed, it was down 777 points, which is the biggest point drop in American history. As a result, President Bush was able to cross off the 10th and final item on his Administration’s bucket list.

Man, things are not looking good....
Aired Friday night on NBC: Financial experts are saying we are entering a new chapter in the American economy. I believe it’s Chapter 11.
Man, things are not looking good. I opened the business section of the paper today. It said, “You Don’t Want To Know.” That was the headline.
Give you an idea how bad the American economy is — Mexico is now calling for a fence along the border.
President Bush had a press conference today outside the Oval Office to talk about the economy. He would have had it inside but, you know, the bank has foreclosed on it.
No, President Bush announced that he will be working with Congress to use hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to restore confidence in the market, but that was his second choice to fix the problem. First choice, invade Wall Street.
Barack Obama continues to criticize John McCain ’s economic plan. McCain would like to criticize Obama’s economic plan, but nobody knows what it is yet.

Leno on the economic crisis
Aired Monday night on NBC: Hey, before we begin, I want to warn people in Nigeria who might be watching our show. If you get any emails from Washington asking for money, it’s a scam.
As you know, the bailout was voted down, and people are stunned. Nancy Pelosi was so shocked, if she could have made a facial expression, she would have.
I guess the big problem was the plan came in two parts and they couldn’t agree on which part to implement first, the smoke or the mirrors.
Today at CNBC, they said without a bailout, consumers wouldn’t be able to get credit cards at favorable rates. Oh, that takes some getting used to, huh? You mean they’ve been spoiling us with that low 30% interest?
And once again, you know, President Bush, God bless him, nice man, but I don’t think he understands the gravity of this situation. Like when someone told him WaMu went under, he said, “Well, that’s O.K, he’s a whale.”
This crisis has actually affected the way children play. Like when kids play Monopoly now, the dumbest kid is the banker.
I’ll give you an idea how bad the economy is. I wrote a $5 check over the weekend. The check was good, the bank bounced.
I’ll give you an idea of how bad the dollar is. Went to buy gold. They said, “You can only buy it with gold.”
In fact, the guy in the Rolls-Royce with the Grey Poupon had to switch to French’s mustard.
Letterman on Palin
Aired Friday night on CBS: Hi, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. I’m Dave Letterman, a pit bull with lipstick.”
Sarah Palin was at the U.N. yesterday, meeting all the world leaders. Actually, she is still learning who the world leaders are. For example, right now, she thinks that Warren Buffett is the head of Margaritaville.
And she was at the General Assembly, Sarah Palin was, and somebody said: “Look, over there. That’s the President of Georgia.” And Sarah Palin said, “Wow, Jimmy Carter.”
And then Sarah Palin said, “Boy, I hope I get to meet Queen Latifah.”
You know who else is in town at the U.N.? Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and I believe this is his first visit to New York City since his 1970s affair with Barbara Walters.

Winston Churchhill "unlikely contact"
Early in his career, Winston Churchhill left the Conservative Party to join the Liberals and grew a moustache, hoping to look older and more distinguished.
One day, a female constituent ran into Churchill on a London street and disdainfully remarked, "Mr. Churchill, I approve of neither your politics nor your moustache."
"Don't worry, Madam," Churchill replied, you are unlikely to come in contact with either."

Raining cats and dogs ... well... at least cats....
a true story about a pastor of a church. He had a kitten that climbed ?up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The ?pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the ?tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.
That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car.
He then figured if he went just a little bit ?further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the ?kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope ?broke. The tree went 'boing!' and the
kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.
The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little ?kitten. No.
Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I just commit this
kitten to your keeping," and went on about his business.
A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. ?This woman was a ?cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?"
She replied, "You won't believe this," and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing.
Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, "Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it."
She told the pastor, "I watched my child go ?out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flyin out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of ?her."
Lesson learned: Never underestimate the Power of God and
His unique sense of humor.

Why we love children
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.
'What have you got there, dear?'
With astonishment in the young boy 's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

SUNDAY CLOTHES
A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday afternoon when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming from the other direction.
'Hello,' said the little boy
'Hi,' replied the little girl.
'Where are you going?' asked the little boy.
'I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home, '
answered the little girl.
'I'm also on my way home from church.
Which church do you go to?' asked the little boy.
'I go to the Baptist church back down the road,' replied the little girl.
'What about you? '
'I go to the Methodist church back at the top of the hill,'
replied the little boy.
They discover that they are both going the same way
so they decided that they'd walk together.
They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had partially
flooded the road, so there was no way that they could get across to the
other side without getting wet.
'If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going to skin me alive,'
said the little girl.
'My Mom'll tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday suit wet,'
replied the little boy.
'I tell you what I think I'll do,' said the little girl. 'I'm gonna pull
off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across.'
'That's a good idea,'replied the little boy.
'I'm going to do the same thing with my suit.'
So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without getting their clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on, when the little boy finally remarked .
'You know, I never realized before just how much difference there really is between a BAPTIST and a METHODIST!!!

Aired Thursday night on NBC: You know, with gas prices approaching $5 a gallon here in California, a lot of people are starting to use bicycles as transportation. In fact, coming in today, I saw Jesse Jackson backpedaling all the way.
Well, if you haven’t heard by now, on Fox News the other day, during an interview, Jesse Jackson, not realizing the mic was open, said some pretty nasty things about Barack Obama.
Jackson made the comments when he thought the mic was off. Here’s my question. Why would Jesse Jackson ever go anywhere unless the mic was on, right?
Jesse said he thought Barack Obama was talking down to black people by lecturing them on things like fatherhood and being a responsible husband. Jesse thought it was insulting, not only to him but to his former mistress and their love child

And Hillary Clinton is taking a month off from her job as senator to rest up from her campaign. How does that work? Think about this.

As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'

They Walk Among Us!!
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number yo u dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'

3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.'

They Walk Among Us!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real Estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff."

4. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in you being rear-ended.

2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'

1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'

Penny for your thoughts?
Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?

2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
pearls before swine....
Writer Dorothy Parker and U.S. Representative Claire Booth Luce bumped into each other entering a restaurant.
"Age before beauty," Luce sniffed, stepping aside.
"And pearls before swine," answered Parker as she walked past.

"Well," de Gaulle answered, "change your friends."

Even God is not that busy
Suffragist Julia Ward Howe tried to enlist Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner in the case of a person who needed help. "Julia, I've become so busy I can no longer concern myself with individuals," Sumner said. Howe replied, "Even God hasn't reached that stage yet" (Chris Lamb, 2007).

Can we end this stupid thing?
LENO: Aired Wednesday night on NBC: Hey, this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Now, if you haven’t gotten your mom a gift yet, can’t go wrong with a gallon of gasoline, huh? It’s a little pricey, but, hey, you only got one mom, you know?
Well, yesterday, Barack Obama soundly beat Hillary Clinton in North Carolina by 14 points. And in Indiana, Hillary Clinton won. So you know what this means? No and neither do I. And I don’t care anymore. I’m fed up, O.K.? I don’t care who wins. Can we end this stupid thing?
it’s O.K. with me, but you got to run it by Cheney
Aired Thursday night on CBS: So here is what happened on Tuesday. Hillary Clinton barely won my home state of Indiana. And she lost in the state of North Carolina. But here is the good news. She has a substantial lead in the state of denial.
I’m no pundit, but it occurred to me that Hillary Clinton has one thing in common with President Bush. Neither of them has an exit strategy.
Now here’s what I don’t understand about government and politics and stuff like that. Earlier today President Bush asked Congress to O.K. an additional $50 billion for his daughter’s wedding.
This weekend at the Bush family ranch, one of President Bush’s daughters will be getting married. And I thought this was cute. The groom went to President Bush and asked for his daughter’s hand in marriage. And President Bush said, “Well, it’s O.K. with me, but you got to run it by Cheney.”
Everybody is helping out with the big Jenna Bush wedding. As a matter of fact right now, Dick Cheney is waterboarding the groom. - Letterman

think before you speak...
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow
and asked loudly,
'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'
I turned around and walked back out and never went back
My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.

Captain Joe says "Arrrrrgh...where's the rum?"
Bill is missing
Bill was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was REALLY angry.
She told him, "To make up for your thoughtlessness, tomorrow morning I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"
The next morning Bill got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. It wasn¢t as large as she expected but she put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, confident the box probably contained a set of keys.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bill has been missing since Friday.
Please pray for him

DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!
Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, 'I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check.'
'Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!' 'I REPEAT; DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!
When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled,
'Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!'
To which the parrot replied, 'Get him, Spike!'
see, men don't really listen...

80,000 people lost jobs last month
Aired Monday night on NBC: France has made contact with those pirates that hijacked a French luxury yacht off the coast of Somalia last week. Did you know about this story? Negotiations are going very slowly. So far, the only thing the pirates have said is “Arrrrgh!”
Well, did you know this week is Explore Your Career Options Week? Especially if you work for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Well, did you hear about this? Hillary Clinton’s senior campaign adviser, a guy named Mark Penn, has left the campaign. Apparently, he was coming under some heavy sniper fire.
No, as her campaign strategist, Mark Penn is widely credited with catapulting Hillary from a virtual shoo-in to second place.
Well, more bad news on the economic front; 80,000 people lost jobs last month. … But to be fair, most of those are politicians caught with hookers, so I don’t know if that actually counts.

why is he running for president?
Aired Thursday night on NBC: Actually, we’re learning more and more about John and Cindy McCain. He’s on this big biography tour so you can learn about him. I guess his wife, Cindy, is worth over $100 million because the family made money selling Budweiser beer. Budweiser beer distributor, $100 million. So, he has a wife 20 years younger than him, free beer, and unlimited money. I think I speak for all guys when I go — why is he running for president?
The other night, Barbara Walters had a special called ‘Live to be 150.’ And she showed people who are over 100 years old, leading active lives: jogging, hiking; one guy even running for president in the Republican Party.
Leno on Obama and McCain
Aired Thursday night on NBC: Speaking of that, today, Barack Obama announced the first thing he would do as president, shut down all the bowling alleys.
And John McCain said he is putting together a list of possible vice presidential candidates. In fact, yesterday, McCain said he had 20 names on his vice presidential list. And today, he had to cut it back to 18 when he found out Calvin Coolidge and Woodrow Wilson are already dead.

We have the Italian Stallion on the show tonight...
LENO, Aired Thursday night on NBC: I am very excited. We have the Italian Stallion on the show tonight. Hillary Clinton, ladies and gentlemen! As you know, in Philadelphia the other day, Senator Clinton said she’s a lot like Rocky Balboa from the movie “Rocky.” Is that a good idea? Don’t we already have a president like Rocky? I mean, isn’t eight years of a guy who talks like he’s been hit in the head too many times enough?
And although some people call for her to pull out of the race, Hillary says she will not pull out because she wants everyone’s vote to count. Unless you’re voting for Obama. Then you can ignore that.

McCain on Letterman
David Letterman and Senator John McCain traded insults on Tuesday night’s “Late Show.” First, Letterman:
You know who I like is that John McCain … He looks like the guy at the hardware store who makes the keys. McCain looks like the guy who can’t stop talking about how well his tomatoes are doing. McCain looks like the guy who goes into town for turpentine. McCain looks like the guy that’s always got wiry hair growing out of new places. McCain looks like the guy who points out the spots they missed at the car wash.
Then McCain’s rejoinders:
Hey, Letterman? You think that stuff’s pretty funny, don’t you? Well, you look like a guy whose laptop would be seized by the authorities. You look like a guy caught smuggling reptiles in his pants. You look like the night manager of a creepy motel. And you look like the guy who enjoys getting into a hot tub, and watching his swim trunks inflate
