Girl 1: A girl in front of me in class today was wearing terry cloth. I was thinking of using her to dry off from the rain.
Girl 2: That's just mean. A girl tries to bring bathroom wear in style and you make fun of her. I was going to wear my loofah tomorrow, but I guess I won't now.
Girl 1: A man wore a girdle? I bet he's a herm.
Girl 2: No, he probably just has an inverted penis.
Girl: I just met a girl who has the same birth control as me! It was kind of funny.We compared notes.
Girl 1: Does she still eat fish all the time?
Girl 2: No, not anymore.
Girl 3: Well, fish makes you stink down there. It's true. I read it in Cosmo.
Girls 1 and 2: Seriously?
Girl 3: Yeah, and fruits make it smell good.
Pineapple and Strawberries.
**Guy 1:** So, I had chicken noodle soup with wheat noodles for dinner.
**Guy 2:** Wheat noodles? Whose idea was that?
**Guy 1:** Campbells'.
Guy 1: Yeah, we ended our date by, like, 10:15.
Guy 2: 6:15? That's like a kindergartner's date!
Guy 1: No, ten-fifteen.
Guy 2: Oh. Dude, I'd love to be in kindergarten and dating.
**Girl 1:** Your hair is darker.
**Girl 2:** Yeah. It's my natural color.
**Girl 1:** So you've decided to go back to your Asian roots...literally.
**Guy:** (on phone):Yeah, she told me my punishment would be that I don't get to mow the lawn for two weeks.

Bands of the '90s Strike Back
Is seeing your favorite '90s band what you want, what you really,really want? Well these bands are Hangin' Tough and holding on to their once-upon-a-time fame and fortune with recent comebacks.
New Kids on the Block—For the first time since their 1994 breakup, these Kids are working on a Step by Step plan for a comebreak. Now between the ages of 37 and 40, these middle-agers are planning to hit the block once again.
Spice Girls—The girl power quintet said Goodbye in 1998 following Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell's split from the group. Although the girls are now letting 2 Become 1 on their world tour, it might not all be sugar and spice. Halliwell told Billboard magazine that a reunion tour "probably won't happen ever again." So you'll have to find a new way to Spice Up Your Life.
Boys II Men—it's not the End of the Road for this R&B
trio. In 2007 they released Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA, a compilation of hits from the Motown Records catalog. You can hear classics such as "I'll Make Love to You" on their current U.S. tour.Their 10th studio album is anticipated later this year.
**Stone Temple Pilots**—These '90s rockers creeped onto the charts before parting ways in 2003 following the release of their greatest hits compilation, *Thank You*. The Interstate will hear a Love Song once again when the band hits the road this May. Hopefully the seats of their concert arena will be Plush.
Hanson—This band of brothers fell into the one hit wonder rut in 1997 with their prepubescent hit, "Mmmbop." But the boys are back with haircuts, deeper voices and their own record label, 3CG records, with the release of their 2007 album, The Walk. The band is now focusing on AIDS activism in Africa.People magazine recently reported that the boys are showing their fans Where the Love is once again on their current tour.
Competing with the bands of our youth for time in the limelight are the bands of our parentis generation, aswell. In 2007,Van Halen Really Got Me with their reunion tour,Duran Duran decided they were still Hungry like a Wolf,the Police brought the Magic back by sending their S.O.S.to the World and even Led Zeppelin gave London a Stairway to Heaven with a reunion concert.Allegedly,the jackson 5 "won't stop till they get enough" by proving a comeback is as easy as 1,2,3. Reports have been made that the group will be there to thrill fans with a 2008 reunion tour. Let's just hope there won't be a wardrobe malfunction.
