Rated PG  Believe It Or Not In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with cloth or piece of wood at all times. In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. (The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.) Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. In Cali, Columbia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens her mother must be in the room to witness the act. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises." The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. Texans are so in love with cheeseburgers, they'll eat them even when they know there isn't any meat in them, but a meat-like substance also used to seal cracks in bathtubs.

Rated PG  WIZARD OF OZ - The Legend Continues.
Remember when Dorothy had her adventure in quest for the wonderful wizard of Oz? A story you are likely to never forget. But few people have heard the other tales from that mysterious land..... Long after Dorothy, Toto and the rest of the gang left the land of Oz, Good Witch Glenda of the North was horribly bored. She spent her days just floating around in her little bubble and gazing at the land of Oz, hoping for someone to help or inspire. One day, while floating around in her bubble, she passed over a pond and saw a lonely little yellow toad perched on a lily pad. He looked extremely depressed... She floated down to the toad and asked him what could be the matter. “Oh Good Witch Glenda, you are right. I AM horribly depressed. I am completely colored yellow, whereas all the other little toads in the pond are green. Won’t you please help me? Mustering up all of her kind heartiness and good will, she waved her wand over the toad, and his color changed to green... That is, all except his ‘private parts.’ They stayed a bright yellow. “Good Witch Glenda! Thank you so much, but my lower extremities! They’re still yellow, while the rest of me is green!” “Oh, I’m sorry, dear little toad. My powers are apparently not strong enough. Go see the Wizard, the Wizard of Oz.” So, in hopeful anticipation, he began hopping off toward the castle, where the Wizard of Oz resided. Glenda the Good Witch continued her surveillance of the land of Oz, floating around in her bubble. As she was passing over a pasture, she looked down to spot a pink elephant who looked horribly depressed. “Oh, Good Witch Glenda, you are right. I AM horribly depressed. I am completely colored pink, whereas all the other elephants in the pasture are gray. Won’t you please help me?” Mustering up all of her kind heartiness and good will, she waved her magic wand over the elephant, and his color changed to gray... That is, all except his ‘private parts.’ They stayed cheerfully pink. “Good Witch Glenda! Thank you so much, but my lower extremities! They’re so pink while the rest of me is gray!” “Oh, I’m sorry, dear elephant. My powers are strong, but apparently not strong enough. The only person who may be able to help you is the Wizard, the powerful Wizard of Oz.” “Well, o.k., but where may I find this fabled ‘Wizard of Oz?’” asked the elephant. Glenda, The Good Witch said: “Just follow the yellow-pricked toad!”

Rated PG  Four men were bragging about how smart their cats are. The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist, the fourth was a Government Worker. To show off, the Engineer called to his cat, "T-square, do your stuff." T-square pranced over to a desk, took out some paper and a pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out into the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies each Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked over to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop. Everyone agreed that was good. Then the three men turned to the Government Worker and said, "What can your cat do?". The Government Worker called to his cat and said, "Coffee Break, do your stuff." Coffee Break jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, crapped on the paper, screwed the other three cats, claimed he injured his back while doing so, filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions, put in for Workers Compensation and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.

Rated G  You Know You Grew Up in the 80's When... You know what "Sike" means. You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off." You know that another name for a keyboard is a "Synthesizer". You can sing the McDonald's Big Mac, Filet-o-fish, quarter pounder and French fry song. You know who Mr. T is. You know who Fat Albert is. And who was the old boy with the pink mask? You ever wore fluorescent, neon clothing. You could breakdance, or wish you could. You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween. You Believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!" Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye. You knew that knowing is half the battle. You wanted to be on Star Search. You can remember Michael Jackson when he was black. You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth. You remember the garbage pail kids, and owned some. You knew what Willis was "talkin' 'bout." You knew "Rut row raggy" and "Zoinks." You HAD to have your MTV. You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good movie. You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system. You owned only cassettes. You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon. You remember and/or owned any of the Care Bear Glass collection from Pizza Hut or the Muppets glasses from McDonalds. Poltergeist freaked you out. You knew who Ben Stein was before you could win his money, "Bueller?" You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ET, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, Strawberry Shortcake or A-Team lunch box. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female Smurf. You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair. You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. You wore your Izod shirt with the collar up. You had a Swatch Watch with the Swatch Guard. Your Legos collection started with the free sets in a Happy Meal. You remember when Happy Meals came in a box, not a paper bag. You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny. You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos. You know what a "Push Up" ice cream is. You had to come in the house when the street lights came on. You had to change into play clothes after school. You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64. You hated Scrappy Doo. You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box. You wish you had a light saber. Somehow you still know all the words to songs played on VH1's "Big 80's" ("it's been 7 hours & 15 days...") Your arm was full of rubber bracelets. You have ever said, "Gag me with a spoon." You have ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning cartoons. You had to get up to change the channel. You can still sing 1 to 12 from the Pinball machine on Sesame Street. You thought the "Thriller" video was pretty cool. You remember the first time you went into a video store to rent a movie. You wore those wide, colorful shoelaces. Quiet Riot's "Come on feel the noise" was the best song - ever. You know where "I want my two dollars" came from. You still cannot go in to the water because of that damn movie - Jaws El Debarge's "Get a beat to the Rhythm of the night" plagued the radio every hour. You remember life before minivans and SUVs.
