Backyard Bill Bamboozles his Way Into Space!

NEWS NASA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT ­ Cracker's own Backyard Bill had one of NASA’s own suit makers measure and make a fitted Spacesuit specifically for him. Wearing it, with its’ NASA insignia, and having already obtained fake identification cards, he managed to slip on board the latest shuttle to the International Space Station. The crew, consisting of Expedition Four Commander Yury Onufrienko, and Flight Engineers Carl Walz and Dan Bursch, have been having difficulty dealing with the ‘Backyard Bill Bullseye’ (Bullseye - a term commonly used in broken code to express a serious breach in security) Backyard Bill has proven his worthy talent in placing himself in the company of those who truly don’t appreciate his genius. This image, secretly sent to us via email, shows Backyard in space. "I believe they are hoping that my tether will break and I will be blasted into space." he tells us. "They have tried several times, and were almost successful twice. This mission is of the utmost importance to mankind. If I survive, it should prove to have been my greatest challenge, and humankinds’ greatest gift… my return. And, you can get it all on video for the low, low price of $19.95!"

True Love

A man came down with the flu and was forced to stay home one day. He was glad for the interlude, because it taught him how much his wife loved him. She was so thrilled to have him around, that when a delivery man or the mailman arrived, she ran out and yelled, "My husband's home! My husband's home!"

Making it a Mission

Bill and Mertle were celebrating their 50th anniversary. That Mertle approached her husband wearing the exact same sexy little negligee she wore on their wedding night. She looked at her husband and said, "Honey, do you remember this?"

Bill looked up at her and said, "Yes dear, I do. You wore that same negligee the night we were married."

"Yes, that's right." Mertle answered. "Do you remember what you said to me that night?"

He nodded and replied, "Well honey, as I remember, I said, 'Oh baby, I'm going to suck the life out of those big beautiful breasts and sex your brains out'."

She giggled. "Yes honey, that's it. That's exactly what you said. Now, it's 50 years later, I'm in the same negligee I wore that night. What do you have to say tonight?"

Bill looked up at her. He looked her up and down and replied, "Mission accomplished."

Just a Really Sad Joke!

One night, little Johnny was lying asleep in his bed and was awakened by a noise. He lay there for a second and realized it was coming from his parents' room. He jumped up and ran to their room only to find them having sex. He just stared wide eyed at them for a while, not knowing what they were doing. He walked a little closer to the bed and said, "Daddy?" What are you and Mommy doing?"

Dad was startled and rolled over to see his son. "Well, Johnny, I'm, um, you know how you were wanting a baby brother?"

"Yes," replied little Johnny, in a timid voice.

"Well, I'm a putting little brother in your mommy for you."

Johnny smiled in relief and said, "Oh, okay!" and left the room feeling safe and secure.

Dad felt good about himself for his witty and on-the-spot answer and rolled over to fall asleep in his wife's arms.

The next day after work, Daddy came home to find Johnny sitting on the grass crying. "What’s wrong?" Daddy asked as he picked his son up.

"Daddy! You know my little brother that you put in Mommy?"

"Yes," Dad replied nervously.

"The Mailman ate him this morning!" Johnny screamed.
