Eq3rd - Adie Pena with:
A group of Cubans desert their island and are on their way to Miami. In the middle of their arduous journey, the weakest grey one suffers a massive heart attack and, as his last dying wish, asks for a flag to say "Adios" to his dearest country. Having abandoned everything in Havana, the other Cuban men search desperately within their boat to find something that will resemble a flag of their country... a t-shirt or a handkerchief perhaps. Nada!
Almost ready to abandon all hope, a gorgeous 20-year-old girl interrupts their desperate search to offer a tattoo of a waving Cuban flag inscribed on the left cheek of her buttocks.
~
A rather pat idea, she pulls down her jeans, revealing the Cuban flag in a beautifully-shaped tanned buttock cheek area. She approaches the dying man and offers her attractive ass, for free, right on his crinkled face. The old man fondles the 'flag,' grabs her fine cheek with both hands and begins to kiss the artistic tattoo, reiterating "My dear Cub-aaah! With great sadness, I say "Aaah-dios" to you forever! I will miss you soon thereafter my birthland, Havan-aaah..."
After going on for almost 20 torturous minutes, the deteriorated man says to the poor, teary-eyed girl, "Now, chica... turn around, por favor... I want to kiss Fidel good-bye!"

2nd - Adie Pena with:
Some writing advice by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. on the subject of short stories.
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things -- reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them -- in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
=
How to win at the monthly Anagrammy Forum competitions.
1. "Aha!" Do something that hasn't been done before. Wow them! If it's an often-used topic (e.g. pop culture), try new and different angles.
2. The shorter your cohesive pieces, the more elegant. All those verbose descriptors are disadvantageous.
3. Heehaw! Guffaw! A jocular one (e.g. "deadheads") is a gas; a jewel that will attract attention and spur those coveted priceless points.
4. Avoid obscure, weird and eccentric hotchpotches. These are worthless tosh! Voters are downright conservative nowadays.
5. Make nice with everyone at the Forum. Swallow your pride. Occasionally nominate their anagrams even though you think they are hogwash.
6. Nick the subjects of others. Make hilarious anagrams out of the same letters.
7. Assess the contestants. See to it that Meyran Kraus doesn't post any entries. (Whew!)
8. When hopelessness sets in, watch the leader board regularly. Ask your friends, relatives and schoolfellows to vote for you.

Three sexy blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Texas Highway Patrol.
Roy, the officer conducting the interview, looked at the three and said, "Well, so you all really want to be cops, eh?"
The blondes announced, "Really!"
Roy got up from his chair, strolled across the room, opened a file drawer and pulled out a manila folder.
Sitting back down, he opened it and pulled out a picture, and said, "To be a detective, you have to be able to detect. You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities such as scars and so on."
So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.
"Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?"
The blonde immediately said, "Yes, I did. He has only one eye!"
He shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It is just a side profile of his face! You're dismissed!" The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.
He then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photo in her face for two seconds.
~
He pulled it back and said, "And you? Detect something different about this man?"
"He only has one ear!"
He put his head in his hands and said, "Didn't you hear what I just told her? This is a side profile. Of course you can only see one ear! You're out of it, too!" The second seductive one left.
Pessimistic, he turned to the third sexy blonde and said: "This is probably a waste of time, but..."
He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "All right, did you notice anything different about this man?"
The vivacious blonde said, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses."
The pompous officer frowned, took another look at the picture and began looking at some of the papers in the folder.
Outguessed, he looked up at the blonde with a baffled expression and said, "You're absolutely right! His database bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"
"Well, Helloooo!" the condescending blonde rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Cut the disguise, detective! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses!"

A black man and his son are aboard American Airlines going across the Atlantic Ocean when they hear the captain's strained voice coming over the speakers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I have some bad news. One of our engines has gone out. We still have three working fine, but in order to make it across the ocean, we have to dump all our luggage. It will soon be picked up by boats and then returned to the airport where you can pick it up. So sorry for the inconvenience."
Well, about fifteen minutes later, the captain comes on again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I have some more bad news. We just lost another engine. Since we already dumped the luggage, next we will have to drop some people. You will be given floating devices and will be picked up immediately by boats and taken safely to shore. To be fair, we will do this in alphabetical order...
~
'A' is for 'African Americans.' Please raise your hands. We'll take a few."
Hearing this, the manipulatable little black boy started to raise his hand.
The father glowered and uttered, "No son, keep it down!"
When no one raised theirs, the uninventive captain proclaimed, "Okay, fine, let's move on to letter 'B.' 'B' is pegged for our 'Blacks.' Raise your hands."
"Wow! Unbelievable intimidation!" Again, the big mettlesome man kept the little boy from raising his hand.
Outwitted, the wearisome captain comes on once more, and announces, "Well, I guess we'll move on to 'C.' 'C' is divvied up among 'Colored People.' Raise your hands."
Bedeviled, the intuitive, clever man kept gagging the boy from raising his.
"But Poppa! We are 'African American,' we are 'Black,' and we are also called 'Colored.' Why won't you let me raise my hand?"
He counseled, "No son, today, we is 'Niggers.' Those 'Mexican' jalapenos are going before us!"

We always hear 'the rules' from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. THESE ARE OUR RULES! Please note these are all numbered '1' ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. "Yes" and "No" are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 16 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We think you are just fine otherwise we would have said something.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one.
1. Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after seven days.
~
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it properly done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. If possible, please say whatever you have to say during that rotten commercial.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 predetermined colors, like pre-programmed Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. Men have no idea what teal or amber is.
1. If it itches, it shall be irreverently scratched. We do this. It's neat!
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying and offended; BUT it is just not worth the effort and stress. Besides men know you are a very tempersome tormentor and will bring it up again later.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. If we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... REALLY.
1. You have enough of the best, latest clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such smart topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.
1. Me get in shape? Remember 'round' IS a shape!
1. Thanks for reading these statements. Treatise?!? Yes, I know I have to sleep on the sofa tonight; but men really don't mind. It's like camping.

Three men suddenly died on Christmas Eve and were warmly met by the kindly and soft-spoken Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
'In honor of this special holy season,' Saint Peter declared, 'Each one of you should possess an object that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a white cigarette lighter. He flicked it on and said, "Ah this represents a candle.'
'You may now pass through the Pearly Gates,' Saint Peter said.
~
The second inventive man reached into his pocket, pulled out a set of keys and shook them.
"I signify bells’ rings."
Saint Peter said, 'Yes, they do. You may pass through the Pearly Gates.'
The third man started searching desperately through his clothes and finally pulled out the nicest pair of panties.
A sceptic St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow.
'Madness! And just what does that woman’s one personal thing symbolize?'
The cornered man bluffed, 'These are Carol’s.'
