"The government must crack down on this disgusting craze of Pumping", a 
spokesman for the Nakhon Ratchasima hospital told reporters. "If this 
perversion catches on, it will destroy the cream of Thailand's manhood." 

He was speaking after the remains of 13 year-old Charnchai Puanmuangpak 
had been rushed into the hospital's emergency room. "Most 'Pumpers' use a 
standard bicycle pump," he explained, inserting the nozzle far up their 
rectum, giving themselves a rush of air, creating a momentary high. This 
act is a sin against God." 

Charnchai took it further still. He started using a two-cylinder foot 
pump, but even that wasn't exciting enough for him, and he boasted to 
friends that he was going to try the compressed air hose at a nearby 
gasoline station. They dared him to do it so, under cover of darkness, he 
snuck in. Not realizing how powerful the machine was, he inserted the tube 
deep into his rectum, and placed a coin in the slot. As a result, he died 
virtually instantly, but passers by are still in shock. One woman thought 
she was watching a twilight firework display, and started clapping. 

"We still haven't located all of him.", say the police authorities. "When 
that quantity of air interacted with the gas in his system, he nearly 
exploded. It was like an atom bomb went off or something." 

"Pumping is the devil's pastime, and we must all say no to satan," the 
spokesman for the Nakhon Ratchasima hospital concluded. "Inflate your 
tires by all means, but then hide your bicycle pump where it cannot tempt 
you."

CONCERNING WHY LOVE HAPPENS BETWEEN TWO PARTICULAR PEOPLE

"No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something
to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are
so popular."  (Jan, 9)

"I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or
something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful."
(Harlen, 8)

IQ wanted me to know there's more than one "Judi" out there.
Her husband's secretary (Edna) one time shredded her (Edna)
own paycheck.  Then she booked her boss on a flight and 
said, "I even got you a window seat because I know how 
you like to smoke."
