A guy walks into a bar, sits down, and asks,

"Bartender, got any specials today?"



Bartender  answers, "Yes, as a matter of fact we have a new drink, invented 
by a gynecologist patron of ours.

It's a mix of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Smirnoff Vodka."


The guy asks, "Good grief, what do you call that concoction?"



The bartender replied:

"It's a "Pabst Smir."

Same guy walks into the doctor's office and sits down in front of the
doctor.

The doctor says, "What can I do for you today"?

The guy takes off his hat and reveals a frog setting on his head.

The frog then says, "Doc, can you get this guy "off my ass"?

Uh, she said that after she got a letter from "President Bush" she
tithed the rest of her worldly possessions.  Obviously, she is a
card-carrying, kool-aide drinking, mental diseased Republican
dittohead.  NOW she is a liberal, like most of America.
