"Cold Turkey"
I knew a girl at work once who was truly
concerned about her husband's smoking.
She told me that she had finally gotten him
to agree to limit his smoking at home to only
those times when they had finished making
love. She had gotten the idea from a classic
movie they had both see on TV called
"Cold Turkey."
After about a week, I asked her how it was
going.
"Well, not too bad." She said, getting up off of
a pillow she had in her chair and limping
towards the photocopy machine. "I've gotten
him down to about a pack a night now."

"Effect of Diagrams"
Two young guys were picked up by the cops
for smoking dope and appeared in court on
Friday before the judge. The judge said, "You
seem like nice young men, and I'd like to give
you a second chance rather than jail time. I
want you to go out this weekend and try to
show others the evils of drug use and get
them to give up drugs forever. I'll see you
back in court Monday."
Monday, the two guys were in court, and the
judge said to the 1st one, "How did you do
over the weekend?"
"Well, your honor, I persuaded 17 people to
give up drugs forever."
"17 people? That's wonderful. What did you
tell them?"
"I used a diagram, your honor. I drew two
circles like this...
_

\ _ /
and told them this (the big circle) is your brain
before drugs and this (small circle) is your
brain after drugs."
"That's admirable," said the judge.
"And you, how did you do?"(to the 2nd boy)
"Well, your honor, I persuaded 156 people to
give up drugs forever."
"156 people! That's amazing! How did you
manage to do that!"
"Well, I used a similar approach. (draws two
circles)

I said, (pointing to the small circle) "This is
your butt hole before prison..."
