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.............

The new State nickname will be "State of Emergency"................
