Sorry gang, but its been real slow on the humor front. This is the best I've
received this week -- pretty scary thought.

A doctor and a lawyer, driving on a single-track road in the
Scottish highlands on a misty evening, crash into one
another. As they stagger out of their cars and collapse
onto the side of the road, the lawyer asks the doctor, whose
forehead is bleeding, "Are you ok?"
"Yes, I think so," replies the doctor. "How about you?"
Reaching into his pocket, the lawyer pulls out a silver
hipflask. "I'm okay, but here, have a swig," he says
solicitously. "It'll settle the nerves."
The doctor takes a grateful drag and passes the flask back.
The lawyer caps it and puts it back into his pocket.
"Aren't you going to have some?" asks the doctor, mopping
his forehead.
"Not until after the police have been here," says the
lawyer.

A fellow went for his first try at free-fall sky diving and was surprised to
find that the jumper across the aisle was a blind man with a seeing eye dog.
"I admire your courage," he said to the man, "but how do you know when to
pull the rip cord?" "No problem." was the response. "I just wait till the
leash goes slack."

National Parks vs. Idiots...
In 1994, a woman visiting from the Bay Area embarked on a solo hike to the
summit of El Capitan in Yosemite. When she became lost and saw a storm
brewing, she called 911 from her cellular phone and asked to be rescued. A
helicopter found her barely off the trail and one-fourth to half a mile from
the top of El Cap. When the 'copter lifted off and the woman saw how close
she was to her summit goal, she asked the crew to set her down on top. When
the crew declined, she threatened to sue them for kidnapping.
Darryl Stone, now superintendent at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in
St. Louis, remembered working the entrance station at Yosemite when a woman
drove up and asked, "Which way are the geysers?" Ranger Stone directed her to
continue 1,000 miles further to Yellowstone and told her there were no
geysers at Yosemite. "Yes, there are," she said. "I have a friend who saw
them." Stone and the woman went round and round several times before she
left, insisting that there were geysers at Yosemite. Later she wrote a letter
to the chief ranger complaining that Stone had refused to provide her with
the information she wanted.
In 1993 a woman called 911 from the top of Half Dome using her cellular
phone. According to dispatch, she reported: "Well, I'm at the top and I'm
really tired." The answering ranger asked if she felt sick. "No," she said,
"I'm just really tired and I want my friends to drive to the base and pick me
up." The dispatcher explained that she would have to hike down the trail she
had ascended. The visitor replied, "But you don't understand, I'm really
tired." What happened next? "It turned out we got really lucky," the ranger
said, "her phone battery died."
Why did the Indians decide to live in Colorado?
Carlsbad Caverns National Park:
How much of the cave is underground?
So what's in the unexplored part of the cave?

When does the guy who turns it on get to sleep?
We had no trouble finding the park entrances, but where are the exits?
