An atheist is hiking in the woods...
So an atheist is hiking in the woods when he stumbles across a huge hungry grizzly bear. The bear rears up to full height and gives a roar as it leans in toward the man. The atheist screams in terror "Oh God, help me!!!"
Suddenly, everything--> the bear, the trees, the birds, everything but the man--freezes. The man sees the clouds part as a deep heavenly voice reaches his ears. "So all your life, You deny My existence, yet now you call for My aid now that death is upon you? I am sorry, My son, but it is too late."
The atheist thinks quickly. "Well, God, if it is too late for me to become a Christian, how about you just convert the bear?"
Time begins moving again, and the bear immediately stops its roaring, kneels quietly and respectfully, and begins speaking. "O Lord, bless this meal in which I am about to partake..."

Ralph came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber...
He awoke before the Pearly Gates where saint Peter said,"You died in your sleep Ralph."
Ralph was stunned. "I'm dead?No I can't be! I've got too much to live for. Send me back!
"St Peter said," I'm sorry, but there's only one way you can go back, and that is as a chicken."
Ralph was devastated, but begs St Peter to send him to a farm near his home. The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking, and pecking the ground.
A rooster strolled past."So you're the new hen, huh? How's your first day here?"
"Not bad,"replied Ralph the Hen,but I have this strange feeling inside, like I'm going to explode."
"You're ovulating, explained the rooster.Don't tell me you've never laid an egg before."
"Never,"said Ralph.
"Well just relax and let it happen," says the rooster" It's no big deal."
Ralph did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg! Ralph was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg – his Joy was overwhelming.
As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife yell..."RALPH WAKE UP. YOU shite THE BED!"

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch...
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble..
In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.
Upon leaving with $600, the brunette tells her sister, 'When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.'
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word. Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.
After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send her the word 'comfortable.'
The operator shakes his head. 'How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word 'comfortable?'
The brunette explains, 'My sister's blonde. The word is big. She'll read it very slowly... com-for-da-bul.'

A lonely lady decided she wanted to find a good husband to spend the rest of her life with so she placed an advert in the paper. It read:
“Looking for a husband, must not beat me, must not chase me around when I’m with my friends, must be good in bed”
The next day a gentleman called in reply to the advert and said he would be perfect for her. She thought he sounded nice and polite, so she invited him around for dinner.
That evening her date had arrived but was shocked when she opened the door to find a gentleman in a wheelchair with no arms or legs.
She said to him “I don’t understand you said you would be perfect for me”. He replied “well I have no arms, so I can’t beat you and I have no legs so I can’t chase you around town.
She stuttered and said “yes but I also wanted somebody who’s good in bed” ... he winked and said “I rang the doorbell didn’t I”.

The RAN Melbourne... the most feared ship of the era. Feared, that is, if you were allied to Australia. Before her reign of terror ended she managed to squash two destroyers, one Australian, one US. Never fired a shot in anger.
The havoc she would wreak continued even after she was decommissioned. Despite US protests the Melbourne was sold to a Chinese scrapyard. The Chinese, handed a relatively modern aircraft carrier (The Melbourne had undergone a major refit) promptly retro engineered on the boat and used that to begin developing their own aircraft carriers.

Ship's are traditionally referred to as she. Unless you are Russian then they are he. For example. "He is laying on bottom of Black Sea floor." Or, "He needs to be towed everywhere." Or "He is piece of shite boat."
