Boink Boink Boink

Two cannibals were sitting down eating lunch.
One says to the other, "You know, I just can't stand my mother-in-law."
The other one replies, "Forget about her! Just put her to the side and eat the mashed potatoes."

Two cannibals just finished a big meal and one belchs loudly, turns to the other while rubbing his stomach and says, "You know, I just ate my mother-in-law, and she still doesn't agree with me!"

[jaybird]

When do cannibals leave the table?
When everyone's eaten.

What do cannibals eat for dessert?
Chocolate covered aunts.

What did the cannibal get when he was late for a dinner party?
The cold shoulder.

Two cannibals meet one day. The first cannibal says, "You know, I just can't seem to get a tender missionary. I've baked them, I've roasted them, I've stewed them, I've barbecued them, I've tried every sort of marinade. I just can't seem to get them tender."

The second cannibal asks, "What kind of missionary do you use?"

The other replied, "You know, the ones that hang out at that place at the bend of the river. They have those brown cloaks with a rope around the waist and they're sort of bald on top with a funny ring of hair on their heads."

"Ah, ha!" the second cannibal replies. "No wonder ... those are FRIARS!"

HEY, I know, they're jokes, in the wrong thread...but if ya wanna get picky, it's food...

Gee that sounds hard to swallow


A GIFT FOR HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
Two guys were talking at work.
"I've got a problem," said the first one.
"What is it?"
"My wife has done it to me again. I'm supposed to buy my mother-in-law a present for her birthday, from the two of us. And, I am fresh out of ideas. I mean, it's HER mother, why can't she buy it?"
"What did you buy her last year?" the other one asked.
"Last year I bought her a VERY EXPENSIVE cemetery plot."
"Hmmmm, hard to top that one," said the other.
The two guys couldn't come up with anything. So the son-in-law didn't buy his mother-in-law anything for her birthday.
When the big day arrived the next weekend, she was a bit upset. At the family gathering for her birthday, she announced out loud to everyone, "Thank you all for the wonderful gifts. Too bad my daughter and son-in-law weren't so thoughtful!"
Thinking quickly, the son-in-law responded, "Well, you haven't used the gift I gave you last year!"

Booze Balls



2 boxes of vanilla wafers
1 Lb nuts (I use walnuts),
mix well in a big bowl.
1 cup of the best cocoa
1 cup of the booze of your choice (use capt morgans)
1 cup of light Karo syrup
4 cups of powdered sugar

Grind up 2 boxes of vanilla wafers and nuts,
mix well in a big bowl.
Add cocoa, the booze, and Karo syrup. and mix well.
Add powdered sugar and mix well (will be very hard to mix)
Put the dough in a big Zip-loc type bag and let it sit in the refrigerator for
a day or more. Then bring it out and let it come to room temperature.
Form dough into balls the size of grapes, and roll in powdered sugar.
(I usually just put the balls in another Zip-loc with a box of the powdered
sugar and keep the bag in the refrigerator until I'm going to use them. Then
I shake the bag to make sure they are coated well.)
This recipe makes about 10 dozen balls

See anything wrong with this picture? Can I just substitute MORE Cap'n in place of the cocoa?
