OT HURRICANE JOKES
Hurricane Jokes
I thought a little humor is need for today specially with a heavy duty tropical storm on my doorsteps Late-Night Jokes About New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina "Mardi Gras starts tomorrow in New Orleans. Talk about perfect timing. Those truckloads of ice from FEMA just showed up." --Bill Maher "This Mardi Gras will be a little different. This year when drunks yell up at the balcony, 'Show us your boobs!' Michael Brown and Michael Chertoff walk out." --Bill Maher "Mardi Gras is going on in New Orleans. Actually it's scaled down quite a bit. Now when you throw a bead, women only flash one boob." --Jay Leno "Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, and of course, this being America, it will be followed by Even Fatter Wednesday, Obese Thursday and Fat-Ass Friday." --Jay Leno "It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Everybody has Mardi Gras fever. I was watching the 'Today' show earlier today and Tom Cruise was lecturing Matt Lauer about jambalaya." --David Letterman "They have the big parade down in New Orleans and this year FEMA has a float, but it's not expected 'til labor day." --David Letterman "In New Orleans, the Paris Casino reopened and officials are calling it a sign of progress. If you didn't lose your house before, you can now." --Jay Leno The first baby has been born in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Yeah, they named it FEMA because it finally showed up after nine months." --Jay Leno "You know I love New Orleans, they're vowing to hold Mardi Gras this year come hell or -- no pun -- high water. This is interesting, they've always had a Mardi Gras drink called the Hurricane. They're not going to serve that this year, but they've got a new one called the FEMA. It's strong, it hits you about a week later." --Bill Maher "They say the toxic water and sludge smells so bad in New Orleans that they're thinking of renaming the city Newark." --Jay Leno "The rebuilding of New Orleans is already underway. The relief and reconstruction contracts for rebuilding the city have already been awarded, many of them no bid. Among the recipients, major Republican contributors Bechtel and Fluor, the Shaw Group, client of Joe Allbaugh, ex-FEMA head, and, of course, come on, don't be shy, say it with me -- Halliburton." --Jon Stewart "Taking a page from their tsunami playbook, the White House announced today that former presidents Bush and Bill Clinton will head up the fundraising efforts for the hurricane relief. And you know, Bill Clinton is no stranger to this kind of thing. He was once visiting the French Quarter during a hurricane and got blown behind a dumpster." --Bill Maher "But hey, it is New Orleans. Watching today, I could tell that this city has not lost its hope. It has not lost its distinctive pluck, because every time rescue teams would toss supplies to people, women flashed their tits." --Bill Maher Funny Jokes - HURRICANE JOKES - Hurricane Tips HURRICANE TIPS: Things to remember about hurricanes: The best way to survive a hurricane is to plan ahead. When it hits, plan to have your head somewhere else. Remember, it is usually much more difficult to buy flood insurance during a hurricane. A hurricane watch means there is a threat of hurricane conditions within 24 to 36 hours. So there is still plenty of time to board up the windows and find your swim fins. A hurricane warning means, if you hang around, within 24 hours you will have a very bad hair day and a dishpan body. The good thing about hurricanes is that in the eye of the storm, nobody pays that much attention to your makeup. Remember to keep fresh batteries in your radio. Though during an actual hurricane, Howard Stern may not be that funny. You know it's time to evacuate when you notice lawn furniture in the trees. Be sure to store drinking water in a clean bath tub. To take a bath, just step outside naked for seven seconds. Always keep a flashlight handy. Nobody wants to drown in the dark. The Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas: 10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows) 9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season (camping gear, flashlights) 8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores 7. Regular TV pre-empted for "specials" 6. Family coming to stay with you 5. Family and friends calling from out-of-state 4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities 3. Days off from work 2. Candles and the number one reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas ... having a tree in your house! 'Twas the night before Frances When all through the state Not a gas pump was pumping Not a store open late All the plywood was hung On the windows with care Knowing that a hurricane Soon would be there The children were ready With flashlights in hand While bands from the hurricane Covered over the land And mamma with her Mag-Lite And I in my cap Had just filled the bath tub For flushing our crap When out on the lawn There arose such a clatter I sprang from the closet To see what was the matter The trees on the fence And the neighbor's roof torn Gave the fear of us dying In this terrible storm With a little wind gust So lively and quick I remembered quite clearly Our walls weren't brick More rapid than eagles Her courses they came And she whistled, and wafted And surged all the same Off shingles! Off sidings! Off rooftops! Off power! Down trees! Down fences! Down trailers! Down towers! In the center of Florida She continued to maul Screaming Blow Away! Blow Away! Blow Away All! As wind ripped and tossed The debris through the sky I peeked out the shutters At cars floating by So go to the safe-room My family did do With a portable radio And batteries too And then, in a twinkling I heard on the set The end was not coming For a few hours yet! As I calmed down the kids And was turning around Through the window it came With a huge crashing sound &! nbsp;A tree branch it was All covered in soot The wind blew it smack-dab On top of my foot A bundle of twigs Now lay in a stack And my living room looks Like it was under attack The wind - how it howled! The storm - very scary! Myself and the family Were all too unwary The dangers of hurricanes Are serious, you know They are taken for granted As Frances did show With the winds dying down And the danger beneath I noticed my tool shed Was missing its sheath So I grabbed my last tarp And nailed it on down Then I got in my car And I headed to town The traffic was awful And stores had no ice My five gallon cooler Would have to suffice Generators were scarce Not one left in town There were trees on the r oads And power lines down FEMA was ready With people to work Electrical companies Came in from New York And in the midst of This peculiar routine Another storm emerged Named Hurricane Jeanne I sprang to the car And gave my family a whistle Then away we all went Like a Tomahawk missile You could hear us exclaim As we drove out of sight "The heck with this place, Vermont seems just right!" Gov. Jeb Bush held a special news conference in Tallahassee to inform the people of Florida of new state symbols, brought on by this year's hurricane season: The Florida State Flag will now be a blue tarp............... The license plate symbol of two oranges will be replaced by a chain saw..... The new State song will be " Blowing in the Wind".................. The state motto will now be..."Oh my God, Here comes another one"..... The new state beverage will be............anything with an alcohol base. The new State tree will be any that are left standing at the end of hurricane season. The new State Bird will be the "whipper"will.............
