  2. A Muslim goes to a doctor and says he isn’t feeling well.The Doctor examines him and then says, “You need to take a bucket, throw in a dead fish and a rotting cabbage, then piss and shit in it for a week. Hold your face over the bucket, put a towel over your head, and inhale the vapors for 3 days”.
    The man follows the Doctors’s orders and returns in a week, telling the Doctor, “I feel wonderful! What was wrong with me?”
    “You were homesick.”

    • Lost at Krogers

      There’s a very sad Muslim kid, standing alone in Krogers and crying because he can’t find his mother.

      A kind store attendant bends over and asks, “Honey, it’s going to be alright. We’ll find your mom. Tell me, what does your mother look like?”

      The kid replied, “I have no fucking idea.”

      • : Why did the Muslim man go into the elementary school?

      • Focusser, you shouldn’t make jokes about Muslims.
        They are very sophisticated people.

        Did you know that Muslims were the first ones to invent condoms?
        They used the intestines of a goat to make one.

        Later on, the British took this idea and perfected it.
        They built on this idea by first removing the goat from the intestines before having sex.

  3. Christ!
    let me make this clear to all.
    THE best protection from the Corona virus is to WASH YOUR HANDS!
    It is that simple.
    and even IF you get it unless you are immune compromised such as the elderly. post surgery or some other condition you will survive.
    the mortality rate is only 1-3% of those who become sick. regular old flu is worse and kills 1000 people a week. or about 5 people since I started typing.
    I am a health care professional in the States and I see worse shit every day.
    Chillax.
