Why did Bill Clinton give up playing the saxophone?
He still does it as an occasional pastime, but lately he has been dedicating great amounts of his time to the presidential campaign of his wife, Hilary, which is now in the starting stages of primary elections and caucuses. Since playing the saxophone on a late night talk show would not lend his wife the same cachet as it did in 1991 when he played it on the Arsenio Hall show to boost his public image before the elections, he has not played it in quite some time, though it waits for him in its case with a fresh set of reeds.
(Original answer: 'he was playing the whore-monica')

It's Saturday night and Superman is especially ready to party after a hard week of saving the world. So he throws on his cape and heads off to a party. Along the way, he passes Wonder Woman's penthouse suite. To his surprise, he sees through her open window that she is still at home, naked in her bed, lying on her back. Superman thinks to himself, "I'm faster than a speeding bullet. I can fly in there, have sex with her and be gone before she knows it." So in an instant, Superman flies in, does the deed, and flies back out. At this point, Wonder Woman sits up and says, "Did you hear something?" "Yes," replies the Invisible Man, "there is something seriously wrong with that Superman".

There where three men driving down a road, all of them were tired and each of their destinations were still miles away. So all of them stop at a farmer's house and ask if they could spend the night. The farmer had a very beautfiul daughter who was still a virgin, and the farmer wanted to keep it that way. Because he was afraid that the three men would pop his daughter, he stuck razor blades up her vagina.
So the next morning, he would find out who tried to screw his virgin daughter. So at breakfast the next morning, he asked all the guys to drop their pants. The first man drops his pants and his penis falls off. The second man does the same and his penis falls off.
The third man drops his pants and his penis doesn't fall off. The farmer doesn't have to ask why though because he is bleeding profusely from the mouth.

A man went into a pub with a box under his arm. He approached the bar and said to the landlord "I'm sorry, mate, I haven't got any money on me, but I've got something amazing in this box. If I show it to you, will you give me a pint?". "Well, it better be really amazing," the landlord replies. The bloke opens up the box to reveal a tiny man, exactly one foot high, sat playing some highly intricate music on a miniature grand piano. "That's fucking incredible," says the landlord, "let me buy you a drink."
So he gives him a pint and they get talking. The landlord asks him how he came by this miniature pianist and the man tells him that a genie granted his wish. He produces an old lamp from his pocket and says "rub this and whisper your wish into the lamp and you'll get what you desire, too." So the landlord takes the lamp, rubs it, whispers inside and suddenly the pub is filled with a million ducks. "Brilliant," says the landlord, "that's exactly what I wanted." "Yep, me too," replies the man, "I'm certainly delighted to have this one-foot-tall piano player."

So there's this penguin driving through Death Valley and it's a really hot day - and that's bad news for a penguin. So, the penguin is driving and saying "sheesh" a lot and wiping his brow with his flipper when the car starts acting up! Bumpity bumpity bump... "Oh great," thinks the penguin.
To his relief, there is a service station not too far ahead. He drives in, parks his car, hops out, and waddles over to the mechanic. "Can you have a look at my car, mac?" asks the penguin. "It's making a funny noise." "Sure," says the mechanic. "Sheesh," thinks the penguin. "It's so hot! I think I'll go inside to keep cool for a while."
So he waddles over and goes inside. He mooches around, flicking through magazines, killing time. He decides he'll buy an ice cream to help him cool down. Then he goes back outside to assess the car. "Sheesh," he says as he waddles back over the tarmac. "It's really hot." He's making a real mess of the ice cream, on account of it being so hot and him being a penguin and only being able to hold it with his flipper. He spills more of it on himself than he gets inside his mouth.
He makes his way back to the car and comes up to the mechanic who's leaning over the engine and frowning. The mechanic looks up at him and says, "Hmm, it looks like your catalytic converter has failed." "Aw geez," says the penguin, "I just had the damn thing replaced about a year ago."

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticedthat during the low periods of my life,when I was suffering fromanguish, sorrow or defeat,I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord,"You promised me Lord,that if I followed you,you would walk with me always.But I have noticed that duringthe most trying periods of my lifethere have only been oneset of footprints in the sand.Why, when I needed you most,you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,"The times when you haveseen only one set of footprints in the sand,is when I hovered."

Once upon a time, a young man went to the circus. He was very excited, as he lived in western Manitoba and had never seen a circus before; the kind of town where you shave and the trolly stops. Anyway, as circus days drew nigh, the young man grew ever more excited. He arrived before dawn to get the best seat in the house, and was seated hours before the first trapeze act.
Finally, the trapeze artists gave an awe-inspiring performance, the elephants danced, and the lion tamer tamed. At last, the clowns came out in full regalia and green hair. They rode around by the gross in a purple volkswagon. The volksie pulled up to center of the ring, and an overweight clown with orange hair, acne, and a purple nose advanced to the podium:
"Will the person in section A, row Y, seat 42 please stand up?"
The young man looked at his ticket, and to his surprise, he was sitting in that very seat. The young man stood up.
Clown sez, "Wellllll, there's the horse's ass, now where's the rest of the horse?"
The man, dumbfounded, stood for a moment, then made his way quickly through crowd and out of the tent. Returning home, the man wept for days, and mourned the loss of dignity and honor. Eventually reason overcame his grief and the man grew determined. "I'm not going to get mad, I'm going to get even, and avenge the honor of myself, my family, and this town," exclaimed the man. He picked up the curriculum guide for the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) correspondence courses and started to read.
Eventually his eyes came to rest on an advert for a class in "Quick Wit Retort." "Learn how to use those snappy comebacks to your advantage, now!" So the man sent in his $19.95 and soon received the course materials. In a few weeks, the man mastered the materials, and sent the final back to UNLV.
Much to his surprise, a registered letter arrived from the president of UNLV. It read:
Dear Sir: We are utterly flabbergasted at your performance in Quick Wit Retort 101. We would be most gratified if you could come to UNLV to complete your degree with our fine academic institution. Here's a check to cover your expenses.
To make a long story short , the man made straight A's in the QWR program. He was awarded numerous distinctions, and when he graduated, the graduation speaker Ed Meese awarded the man the Presidential Medal of Outstanding Quick Wit Retort, signed by Ronnie himself!
Some days afterward, Harvard University sent a lear-jet to pick the man up for an interview. The graduate admissions officer didn't mince words. "If you complete our masters/doctoral tenured track program in QWR, you will never have to worry about money again," said he. Needless to say, the man promptly moved to Cambridge.
In 5 years, the man had finished his doctorate. By this time, the man was known throughout the world as the leading expert in Quick Wit Retort. Word had even reached western Manitoba, which made his mother very proud. Everyone from Pentagon pundits to Beltway bandits consulted the man on technical questions of QWR.
One day, while sitting at his desk reading his hometown newspaper, the man noticed that the circus was coming to his hometown again. An evil smile crossed the man's face. "Siegfried," cried the man to his assistant, "We must be away to Manitoba. Ready the jet!" As the plane crossed the downlands of Michigan, the man savored the moment of victory that was to be his.
The man arrived at the circus tent very early, making sure to get the seat in section A, row Y, seat 42.
The man glanced at his ticket. This time he was ready.
The man rose to his feet, full of confidence. He thrust out his chest and said in the loudest voice you can imagine:
YOUR MEAN-SPIRITED, CRASS REMARKS ARE WHOLLY OUT OF PLACE IN WHAT SHOULD BE A LIGHTHEARTED, FAMILY-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE!!! MAY I PLEASE HAVE A WORD YOUR SUPERVISOR?

A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender: "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"
In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says: "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2'', weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5'' pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of us is blonde. Think about it, mister. Do you still want to tell that joke?"
