English Patient
An English guy was very ill and his son went to visit him in the hospital. Suddenly, the father began to breathe heavily and grabbed the pen and pad by the bed. With his last ounce of strength he wrote a note, dropped it, and died.
The son was so overcome with grief that he didn't remember slipping the note into his pocket. At the funeral, he reached into the pocket of his coat and immediately felt the note. He excitedly read it thinking it might be something he could recite during the service. It said:
YOU WANKER -- GET OFF MY OXYGEN PIPE!!!
AND ALSO ONE LAST LAUGH ON DEATH ROW

San Antonio, US-A Texas man scheduled to be executed today said he want to die laughing.
Patrick Knight, 39, has been soliciting jokes on the internet and planned to tell one of them before receiving a lethal injection, Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswomen Michelle Lyons said Monday. “He says he wants to keep his execution light,” she said.
Knight, a convicted murderer, wrote on his Web site: “I want to people to sent me their best jokes and to keep me…..laughing.”
Knight will be allowed to tell his joke, but none of his executioners will be laughing, Lyons said.
“Everybody who is there takes it very seriously and will not be participating in the joke,” she said. “So Knock- Knock jokes are out.”

A CHANCE TO JOIN THE CAMBODIA PEACE CORPS
We have built over 360 primary and secondary schools all over Cambodia funded by donors with matching funds from the World and Asian Development Banks.
These are on land donated by villages and become state schools staffed by state teachers following the Ministry of Education curriculumn. We are adding value by providing Internet connection and teaching the children English and computer skills. Each of more than 80 schools already have such teachers working for us. We are in the process of more than doubling this number. This is an excellent opportunity for qualified young Cambodian teachers to join a Cambodian-like Peace Corps, like those in the US, Japan and some other countries, to provide humanitarian service that will reduce poverty and affer an opportunity to less privileged children to enjoy a better life in the future.
Anyone joining our "Peace Corps" with a contract of at least one year will earn $60 a month in salary plus $60 in food and housing and transportation from Phnom Penh. Teachers close to Phnom Penh may cmmute on weekends to attend classes at university. Our team will also have the opportunity to compete towards study scholarships, participate in training workshops, receive a prestigious certificate from our organization and, based on dedication and performece,
a strong recommendation to future employers attesting our candidates honorably served their country and attesting to their skills.
The success rate of such Peace Corps members in other countries is very high. In the US, many have become congressmen and key managers of top-rated companies. Don't miss this opportunity to serve Cambodia and then enjoy a fruitful future career.
