There were three guys that were about
to be executed for a crime that they had committed. So, they bring the first guy out and just as they are about to shoot the guy yells, "Look, its a tornado!" As the guards are running for cover the first guy gets away. Five minutes later, they realize that there is no tornado.
Then they bring out the second guy, and as they are about to shoot him he yells, "Oh no! Earthquake!!" As the guards run for cover the second guy gets away. Three minutes later they realize that there is no earthquake.
Finally, they bring out the third guy and the guards yell, "Ready, Aim,-", but before they could finish, the third guy yells, "Fire!"

The Boston Symphony Orchestra was
performing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. In the piece, there's a long passage, about 20 minutes, during which the bass violinists have nothing to do.
Rather than sit around that whole time looking stupid, some bassists decided to sneak offstage and go to the tavern next door for a drink. After slamming several beers in quick succession, one of them looked at his watch. "Hey! We need to get back!" he cried.
"No need to panic," said a fellow bassist. "I thought we might need some extra time, so I tied the last few pages of the conductor's score together with string. It'll take him a few minutes to get it untangled."
A few moments later, the drunk musicians staggered back into the concert hall and took their places in the orchestra.
About this time, a member of the audience noticed the conductor seemed a bit edgy. She pointed this out to her date.
"Well, of course," said her companion. "Don't you see? It's the bottom of the Ninth, the score is tied, and the bassists are loaded."

Ain't this the truth
A man has spent many days crossing the desert without water. His camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain that he has breathed his last, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what looks to be an old brief case.
He opens it and out pops a genie....
But this is no ordinary genie. He is wearing a Revenue Canada badge and dull grey suit.
There's a calculator in his pocket.
He has a pencil tucked behind one ear.
"Well, kid," says the genie. "You know how it works. You have
three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." says the man. "I'm not going to trust a Revenue Canada employee. "What do you have to lose?
You've got no transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!"
The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides
that the genie is right. "OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with
plentiful food and drink."
POOF*** The man finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen, surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, kid, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams."
POOF*** The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.
"OK, kid, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the man says: "I wish that no matter what, wherever I go beautiful women will want and need me."
POOF*** He is turned into a tampon!
The moral of the story?
Remember if Revenue Canada offers you anything ... there's going to be a string attached!
