THE WORLD - Forwarded by Cheryl N., West Fairlee, VT, USA:

Larry gets home late one night and his wife, Linda, says "Where in the hell have you been?"

He replies, "I was out getting a tattoo."

"A tattoo?" she frowned. "What kind of tattoo did you get?"

"I got a hundred dollar bill on my privates," he said proudly.

"What the hell were you thinking?" she said, shaking her head in disdain;"Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred dollar bill tattooed on his privates?"

"Well, for one; I like to watch my money grow, and two; once in a while I like to play with my money, three; I like how money feels in my hand and lastly; instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks anytime you want."

From Mattie L., Dublin, IRELAND:

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the? town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried.

?

Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard?some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave.? Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.

When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah,? yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."

?

He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling."

?

So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth... "

?

Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that? had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's? nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing."
