A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and
inform the other of the afterlife. The biggest fear was that there
was no heaven.
After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his
word, he made contact.
"Mary...Mary...."
"Is that you, Fred?"
"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast, I have
sex. I bathe in the sun, then I have sex twice. I have lunch, then sex
pretty much all afternoon. After supper, I have sex until late at
night.
The next day it starts again."
"Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven."
"Not exactly, I'm in my afterlife ........ as a rabbit in Kansas."

"Inner Strength"
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then...........
....you are probably a cat or a dog.

Da hätte ich auch noch einen... ;-)
A Japanese tourist hailed a taxi in downtown Chicago and asked to be taken to the O'Hare Airport.
On the way, a car zoomed by and the tourist responded, "Ohhh! TOYOTA!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
Not too long afterward, another car flew by the taxi.
"Ohh! NISSAN!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
Yet another car zipped by, and the tourist said, "Ohh! Mitsubishi!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
The taxi driver, who was 100% American, was starting to get a little miffed that the Japanese made cars were passing his Chevy, when yet another car passed the taxi as they were turning into the airport.
"Ohh! Honda!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"
The taxi driver stopped the car, pointed to the meter, and said, "That'll be $150."
"$150? It was so short a ride! Why so much?"
"Taxi meter. Made in Japan. Very fast."

Hallo Hasi,
schöner Witz von der Taxi-Fahrt.
Übrigens sind fast alle Taxi driver in Chicago aus Pakistan, wie ich gerade vorletzte Woche festgestellt habe. Die hatten alle das Radio im Wagen an, um sich zu informieren wie es mit dem Terroranschlag weiter geht.(http://www.usa-reise.net/forum/images/smilies/cwm36.gif)

Jim and Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool,
Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sunk to the bottom & stayed there.
Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the medical director became aware of Mary's heroic act he immediately
ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered her to be mentally stable.
When he went to tell Mary the news he said, "Mary, I have good news & bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses. The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung
himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Mary replied "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry."

Hallo together,
Aer Lingus Flight 101 was flying from Heathrow to Dublin one night, with Paddy the Pilot, and Shamus the co-pilot.
As they approached Dublin airport, they looked out the front window.
"B'jeesus" said Paddy "Will ye look at how short dat runway is".
"You're not kiddin, Paddy" replied Shamus.
"Dis is gonna be one of de trickiest landings you're ever gonna see", said Paddy.
"You're not kiddin, Paddy" replied Shamus.
"Right Shamus. When I give de signal, you put de engines in "reverse" said Paddy.
"Right, I'll be doing dat" replied Shamus.
"And den, ye put de flaps down straight away", said Paddy.
"Right, I'll be doing dat", replied Shamus.
"And den ye stamp on dem brakes as hard as ye can", said Paddy.
"Right, I'll be doing dat", replied Shamus.
"And den ye pray to de Mother Mary with all a' your soul" said Paddy.
"I be doing dat already" replied Shamus.
So they approached the runway with Paddy and Shamus full of nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, Shamus put the engines in reverse, put the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and prayed to Mother Mary with all of his soul. Amidst roaring engines, Squealing of tyres and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimetres from the end of the runway, much to the relief of Paddy and Shamus and everyone on board.
As they sat in the cockpit regaining their composure, Paddy looked out the front window and said to Shamus "Dat has gotta be de shortest runway I have EVER seen in me whole life".
Shamus looked out the side window and replied......."Yeah Paddy, but look how Wide it is".!!!

Hi together,
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go camping and pitch their tent under the stars.
During the night, Holmes wakes Watson and says: "Watson, look up at the stars and tell me what you deduce."
Watson says: "I see millions of stars, and even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life."
Holmes replies: "Watson, you idiot. Somebody stole our tent." :O :O

So einer für den Notfall mit dem WoMo:
Stopped by the Highway Patrol
A police officer pulls a RVer in a class C over for speeding and has the following exchange:
Officer: May I see your driver's license?
RVer: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.
Officer: May I see the owner's card for this motorhome?
RVer: It's not my motorhome. I stole it.
Officer: The motorhome is stolen?
RVer: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
RVer: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this motorhome and stuffed her in an outside storage compartment.
Officer: There's a BODY in an outside storage compartment?!?!?
RVer: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his Sergeant . The motorhome was quickly surrounded by police, and the Sergeant approached the RVer to handle the tense situation:
Sergeant : Sir, can I see your license?
RVer: Sure. Here it is. (It was valid).
Sergeant : Who's motorhome is this?
RVer: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card. (The driver owned the motorhome).
Sergeant : Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
RVer: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. (Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box).
Sergeant : Would you mind opening your outside storage compartments? I was told you said there's a body in one of them.
RVer: No problem. (All compartments are opened; no body).
Sergeant : I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the motorhome, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in one of the outside storage compartments.
RVer: Yeah, I'll bet the lying "son of a bisquit eater" told you I was speeding, too

The Energy Efficiency Expert
A man entered a restaurant and sat at the only open table. As he sat down, he knocked the spoon off the table with his elbow. A nearby waiter reached into his shirt pocket, pulled out a clean spoon, and set it on the table.
The diner was impressed. "Do all the waiters here
carry spoons in their pockets?"
The waiter replied, "Yes. Ever since an Efficiency
Expert visited our restaurant... He determined that 17.8% of our diners knock the spoon off the table. By carrying clean spoons with us, we save trips to the kitchen."
The diner ate his meal. As he was paying the waiter, he commented, "Forgive the intrusion, but do you know that you have a string hanging from your fly?"
The waiter replied, "Yes, we all do. Seems that the same Efficiency Expert determined that we spend to much time washing our hands after using the men's room. So, the other end of that string is tied to my penis. When I need to go, I simply pull the string, do my thing, and then return to work. Having never touched myself, there really is no need to wash my hands. Saves a lot of time."
"Wait a minute," said the diner, "how do you get your penis back in your pants?"
"Well, I don't know about the other guys, but I use the spoon."

Prost Mahlzeit sag ich da nur.
Nie wieder SUppe, wenn der Kellner ne Fliege hat.
Der passt dazu:
A tourist is in Spain, and goes to a fancy restaurant for dinner. As he looks around, he notices a diner being served a beautifully garnished dish with two gigantic meatballs in the middle. When the waiter asks him for his order, the man asks him about the meatball dish. The waiter explains that the meatballs are bull's testicles, and when the bull loses the bullfight, the bull is brought to the restaurant, and this beautiful dish is made.
The diner tells the waiter that he wants the bulls testicles for dinner, but the waiter tells him that only one bull a day is brought to the restaurant, but he can have it tommorrow. The diner agrees. The next day the diner goes to the restaurant, and orders the testicle dish. When his food is brought out, he notices that the meatballs are extremely small. He mentions this to the waiter, and the waiter replies, ''Well sir you have to understand, sometimes the bull wins''.

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened.
Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"
"Yes," said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief and asked the parrot: "What's your name?"
"Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"
The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."

Giant steps are what you take....
This is an oddly funny, but true story about Neil Armstrong:
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control.
Just before he re-entered the lander, however he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky."
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
Just a few years ago, (on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL)while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a flyball which landed in the front of his neighbours bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! "You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
This is a confirmed true story.

Hallo zusammen,
on the first day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to field with
the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk
to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow
said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let
me have twenty years and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door
of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.I will give you
a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking.
Give me ten years and I'll give back the other ten." So God agreed.
On the third day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do
monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty year life span."
Monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so.
Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed
again.
On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, have sex,
enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years." Man
said, "What? Only twenty years? No way man. Tell you what, I'll take my
twenty, and the forty cow gave back, and the ten dog gave back and the ten
monkey gave back. That makes eighty, okay?"
Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."
So that is why for the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, have sex,
enjoy, and do nothing; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to
support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain
our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit in front of the house
and bark at everybody.
Life has now been explained.

Now it´s my turn:
As you may or may not have heard, the current CEO of Northwest Airlines soon will be moving to Burger King. Expect some interesting changes in the way Burger King is doing business:
· The price of a "Whopper" will become one of the great mysteries of our times. Not only will it vary vastly from one town to the next, even from one street to the next, it will also be heavily dependent on the time of day you intend to eat and the time span between placing the order and actually eating your meal. Orders placed two weeks in advance generally yield the cheapest prices.
· The size of a meal will be completely unrelated to it's cost. An order of french fries will far exceed the cost of a supersized "Whopper Meal". Ordering the "Whopper Meal" and dumping everything except the fries to save money will become a federal offense.
· The possibility that the person sitting next to you paid exactly the same amount for his "Whopper Meal" than you paid for yours is "0".
· "Stop-Over" meals: You will get heavily discounted meals, if you pick up your hamburger at, say, the Telegraph Road location, and your fries and softdrinks at the Southfield Road location. This strategy allows Burger King to keep their less utilized locations humming, and it can pass the savings on to their customers. This will lead some ingenious customers to come up with the concept of:
"Back-to-Back" meals: You always have two "stop-over" orders from two different locations running. You pick up your fries from one "stop-over" meal together with your burger from the other at the same location. Burger King will soon detect the ploy and outlaw it.
· Order delays will become quite the norm, and will mostly be out of Burger King's direct control. For delays longer than 4 hours, beds will be made available at select locations. The cooks and counter personnel will have no idea about when your order will be done, so don't bother asking.
· "Drive Through" lines will reach biblical proportions, and some cities (like New York, Chicago and Atlanta) will become infamous for delays. Burger King will blame an antiquated road system for the problems, and demand that the federal government take action. Traffic control
handlers will become necessary - strikes, and threads thereof, among traffic control handlers will not help the "drive-through" line situation.
· Burger King food preparation equipment will become highly sophisticated, requiring a high degree of maintenance. Unscheduled maintenance activities will add to delays, your food orders may get cancelled! Burger King will, however, make every effort to fulfill you
order at a later time, or rebook it to the McDonald's down the road.
Strikes, and threads thereof, among maintenance workers will maintain consistent "drive-through" lines.
· Burger King may "overbook" some restaurants routinely, i.e. accepting far more orders than they can handle. You will be asked to forfeit your order against an undisclosed $ amount, and a meal at a later time.
· Cooks may invite younger customers behind the cooking plates to show them all the controls and tell-tales.
· Cooks' salaries will experience a sharp increase although theoretically, the new, highly sophisticated cooking plates could flip the burgers automatically, cooks will insist that their role is crucial for the
safety of the eaters. Strikes, and threads thereof, among the cooks will keep the "drive-through" lines at record levels. Especially Christmas time will become notorious among Burger King customers!
· Cooks will use an intercom system to inform customers of details of their order, which might sound interesting to novice eaters, but will prove
to be rather irrelevant. Examples are "Estimated Time of Order Accomplishment" (ETOA), number of the cooking plate they are going to use, and temperature thereof. They can also inform customers when they can
expect to leave the "drive-through" line (like "you are number 25 for departure" - especially at certain New York locations, this number will reach astonishing levels).
· Behind-the-counter personnel will become notoriously unfriendly. In turn, they will be yelled at by customers, who demand to see the supervisor. Supervisors, although their names are posted at each location, will become obsolete and therefore never available. Strikes, and threads thereof, among the counter personnel will keep the "drive-through" lines
alive and well.
· Never take a bag or similar to a Burger King restaurant, it has a good chance of getting lost. You will then be required to stand in a long line to fill out paperwork. The good news is that the missing bags are usually found, and returned to you within 24 hours. The bad news is this might happen in the middle of the night.
· Fire drills will become a mandatory routine at every visit, which you will be confronted with, no matter how often you ate at a Burger King before. You will become very familiar with the use of oxygen masks dropping
of the restaurant ceiling in the unlikely event of a loss in building pressure. In restaurants next to oceans and larger lakes, seat cushions may be used as floatation devices.
· Electronic devices may not be used in the restaurants at any times, as they may interfere with the french fryer's temperature- and timer control system.
· The quality of the food will actually improve. Alcoholic beverages will be served, free of charge in the first three seating rows of the restaurants. Peanuts will be served with every meal, like it or not. Pretzels will be offered as an alternative, but the restaurant will usually
be out of them.
· Burger King will create a "frequent eater" program, in which customers can earn "calories" towards free meals. "Calories" will never expire, however, it will become very challenging to redeem the "calories" against actual meals. Black-out dates and limited availability will be implemented. It will be relatively easy to place an order for the Burger King in Sioux
Falls (unless you live there) in February, but absolutely impossible to get one in your home town on Thanksgiving. The good news is that you will be
able to donate "calories" you'll receive 500 bonus calories for every 5000 calories donated (quite the deal?).
· Snow storms will bring "drive-through" lines to a stand-still. Waiting eaters will be trapped in their cars, unable to leave the lines. A storm in Atlanta can affect your order in Detroit - Burger King is still working on
a plausible explanation.
· Parking at and around Burger King restaurants will become sparse - ingenious business people will start shuttle services from surrounding parking areas. Fees are expected to be reasonable at most locations.
· Burger King will enter into "alliances" with other fast food chains. "Order Sharing" will be possible - it will allow you to wait at different restaurants to complete a single order. Also, lost bags can be traced from
one chain to the next. A Dutch partner of Burger King will become very effective in losing your bags while you wait at their Amsterdam location for a connecting order of french fries.
· Due to the popularity of "drive-through" lines, they will become potential targets of terrorist attacks. Metal detectors will be installed, and customers will be required to stand in line to be scanned before they
can stand in line to wait for their orders.
· Electronic order placing and - handling will make the process far more convenient for the customers. You will not need a hardcopy of an order anymore to be allowed to eat your meal. Burger King will predict that, at
some time in the not-so-distant future, you can actually walk up to any counter at any location, name your choice, read a standard price of a chart, pay, eat and leave - but, wait a minute?

Another one: THE IMPORTANCE OF USING THE CORRECT E-MAIL ADDRESS
It seems there was this couple from Minneapolis Minnesota who decided to go to Florida for a few days to thaw out during one particularly cold winter. Because both of them worked, they had some difficulty coordinating travel schedules. They finally decided that the husband would leave for Florida on a certain day and the wife would follow him the day after. The man made it down to Florida as planned and went directly to his hotel. Once in his room, he decided to open his laptop and send his wife, who was still back in Minnesota, an e-mail. However, he accidentally left off one letter in typing his wife's e-mail address and sent the e-mail off without realizing his error.
In another part of the country a widow had just returned from the funeral of her husband, a Lutheran Pastor of many years, who had been " called home to glory " just a few days earlier. She decided to check her e-mail because she was expecting to hear from her husband's relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message she let out a loud scream, fainted and fell to the floor. The woman's son rushed into the room and found his mother lying on the floor. He glanced up at the computer screen and saw the following:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've arrived!
I've just checked in. Everything has been prepared for your arrival here tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Your Devoted Husband.
P.S. Sure is hot down here.

WHY I FIRED MY SECRETARY
Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday, and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say
"Happy Birthday", and probably have a present for me.
She didn't even say "Good morning", let alone "Happy Birthday". I thought, "Well,that's wives for you. The children will remember."
The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. When I started for the office, I was feeling pretty low and despondent. As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet said, "Good Morning Boss, Happy Birthday." I felt a little better, at least someone had remembered.
I worked until noon. Then, Janet knocked on my door and said, "You know, its such a beautiful day outside and its your birthday, Let's go to lunch, just you and me." I said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day, let's go."
We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go. We went out into the country to a little private place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?" I said, "No, I guess not."
She said, "Let's go to my apartment."
After arriving at her apartment, she says, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable." "Sure," I excitedly replied. She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying, a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends.
All were singing Happy Birthday........and there on the couch I was sitting...
naked!

An airplane was about to crash, and there were 5 passengers left, but only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger, George W. Bush said, "I am President of the United States, and I have a great responsibility, being the leader of nearly 300
million people, and a superpower. I am also the smartest president ever."
So he takes the first parachute, and jumps out of the plane.
The second passenger, said, "I'm Antoine Walker, one of the best NBA Basketball players, and the Boston Celtics need me, so I can't afford to die." So he takes the second parachute, and leaves the plane.
The third passenger, Hillary Clinton, said "I am a mother, the wife of the former President of the United States, and I am New York's Senator."
So she takes the third parachute and exits the plane.
The fourth passenger, the Old man, says to the fifth passenger, a 10 year old boy scout, "I am old and frail and I don't have many years left, so as a Christian gesture and a good deed, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."
The boy scout said, "It's okay, there's a parachute left for you. The world's smartest president took my backpack." (http://www.usa-reise.net/forum/yimages/smilies/cwm27.gif)

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything; tutors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short, everything they could think of. Finally in a last ditch effort, they took Tommy down and enrolled him in the local Catholic School.
After the first day, little Tommy comes home with a very serious look on his face. He doesn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he goes straight to his room & starts studying. Books & papers are spread out all over the room and little Tommy is hard at work. His mother is amazed. She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is done he marches back to his room without a word and in no time he is back hitting the books as hard as before. This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother tries to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Tommy brings home his report card. He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the books. With great trepidation, his mom looks at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She can no longer hold her curiosity. She goes to his room and says: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?"
Little Tommy looks at her and shakes his head "No".
"Well then", she replies, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms, WHAT was it?".
Little Tommy looks at her and says, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."

Ein kleiner Witz über Microsoft:
PS: Der Witz mit dem Fallschirm/Rucksack und Mr. Bush fand ich sehr amüsant. Ich möchte jedoch nicht mehr darüber sagen :D
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an
electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic
navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze,
the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to
steer to the airport.
The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a
handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's
sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building
quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a
building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to
steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the
ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER"
sign helped determine their position.
The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building
because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct
but completely useless answer."

So, then I will continue and will post something in this English speakin´thread. I was wondering while nearly everything here being written were jokes, so no one has an idea what else to write in English?
So I will start my first post in this English thread with a joke, too.
My american cousin told it to me some years ago.
Bush´s White House Tour
Before the inauguration, George W. was invited to a "get aquainted" tour of the White House.
After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he asked President Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom.He was astonished to see that the President had a solid gold urinal!
That afternoon, George W. told his wife, Laura, about the urinal. "Just think," he said, "when Ia m President, I´ll have my own personal gold urinal!"
Later, when Laura had lunch with Hillary at her tour of the White House, she told Hillary how impressed George had been with his discovery of the fact that, in the President`s private bathroom, the President had a gold urinal.
That evenig, Bill and Hillary were getting ready for bed. Hillary turned to Bill and said: "Well, I found out who peed in your saxophone."
:shock:
