There was a farmer, Perley Moore, who had recently bought a truck and found that the "basic price" was only the beginning. Once the salesman had added on all the extras - towing package, toolbox, fifth-wheeler attachment, etc. - the price was quite a bit higher. Well, by a strange turn of fate, that same salesman stopped by Perley's farm one day to buy a cow. The dealer examined the herd, picked out a likely specimen, and asked about the price.

"That's a hundred-dollar cow," Moore replied directly.

"That's fair enough," said the salesman. "I'll take her."

"Well, now, that's the basic price," Moore added, getting out pencil and paper. "There are one or two extras, of course." He made a few notes and handed the paper to the dealer. Here is the final invoice:

Basic cow $100

Two-tone exterior $45

Storage compartment and dispensing device $60

Four spigots @ $10 each $40

Genuine cowhide upholstery $75

Dual horns @ $7.50 each $15

Automatic fly-swatter $35

Total $370

So Bush and Cheney are having breakfast at a diner in Washington when the waitress comes up and Bush says, "Can I have a quickie?"
The waitress grabs the menu away and storms off, saying "I thought we were done with that nonsense after Clinton left!"
Cheney leans over to Bush and says, "Sir, it's actually pronounced 'quiche'."

Apple Computer announced today that it has developed a computer chip that can store and play music in women's breast implants.

The iBOOB will cost between $499 and $599. This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.
