Honey

I had this joke emailed to me and though it would be a cute lit­tle space filler:

Sev­eral days ago as I left work, I des­per­ately gave myself a per­sonal TSA pat down. I was look­ing for my keys. They were not in my pock­ets. A quick search of my cubi­cal revealed nothing.

Sud­denly I real­ized, I must have left them in the car. Fran­ti­cally, I headed for the park­ing lot. My wife has scolded me many times for leav­ing the keys in the igni­tion, but my the­ory is the igni­tion is the best place not to lose them. Her the­ory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a ter­ri­fy­ing con­clu­sion. Her the­ory was right. The park­ing lot was empty.

I imme­di­ately call the police. I gave them my loca­tion, con­fessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most dif­fi­cult call of all, “Honey,” I stam­mered, I always call her “honey” in times like these, “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard my wife’s voice. “Honey,” she replied, she always calls me “honey” in times like these. “I dropped you off!” Now it was my time to be silent. Embar­rassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

Her reply, “I will, as soon as I con­vince this police­man I have not stolen your car!”

God’s Promise To Man

While cre­at­ing wives, God promised man that good and obe­di­ent wives would be found in all cor­ners of the world.

And then He made the earth round…

The Good Gramps

A woman in a gro­cery store hap­pens upon a grand­fa­ther and his poorly behaved 3-year-old grand­son. It’s obvi­ous to her that Gramps has his hands full with the child scream­ing for candy in the candy aisle, cook­ies in the cookie aisle; same for fruit, cereal and soda in their respec­tive aisles.

Mean­while, Gramps is work­ing his way around, say­ing in a con­trolled voice, “Easy, Albert, we won’t be long — easy, boy.” Another out­burst, and she hears Gramps calmly say, “It’s okay, Albert, just a cou­ple more min­utes and we’ll be out of here. Hang in there, boy.”

At the check­out, the lit­tle ter­ror is throw­ing items out of the cart, and Gramps again in a con­trolled voice is says, “Albert, Albert, relax buddy, don’t get upset. We’ll be home in five min­utes; stay cool, Albert.”

Very impressed, the woman goes out­side where Gramps is load­ing his gro­ceries and the boy into the car. “You know, sir, it’s none of my busi­ness, but you were amaz­ing in there. I don’t know how you did it. That whole time, you kept your com­po­sure, and no mat­ter how loud and dis­rup­tive he got, you just calmly kept say­ing things would be okay. Albert is very lucky to have you as his grandpa.”

Thanks, lady,” said Gramps, “But, I’m Albert — the lit­tle bastard’s name is Steve.”

An Irish Family Tradition

Paddy had long heard the sto­ries of an amaz­ing fam­ily tra­di­tion. It seems that his father, grand­fa­ther and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 18th birth­day. On that spe­cial day, they’d each walked across the lake to the pub on the far side for their first legal drink.

So when Paddy’s, 18th birth­day came ’round, he and his pal Mick, took a boat out to the mid­dle of the lake, Paddy, stepped out of the boat …and nearly drowned! Mick just barely man­aged to pull him to safety. Furi­ous and con­fused, Paddy, went to see his grandmother.

Granny,” he asked, “It’s me 18th birth­day, so why can’t I walk ‘cross the lake like me fa, his fa, and his fa before him?”

Granny looked deeply into Paddy’s, trou­bled brown eyes and said, “Because your fa, your grandfa and your great grandfa were all born in Decem­ber, when the lake is frozen, and you were born in August, ya right eejit.


This wasn’t intended to be today’s post, but with March Mad­ness in full swing, it just turned out that way.

The Hunting Party

Two hunters char­tered a plane to fly them to Canada, to hunt moose, and they man­aged to bag six.

As they were load­ing the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose.

The two hunters objected strongly. “Last year we shot six. The pilot let us take them all, and he had the same plane as yours.”

Reluc­tantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded.

How­ever, even on full power, the lit­tle plane couldn’t han­dle the load and went down.

Some­how, sur­rounded by all the moose bod­ies, both hunters sur­vived the crash.

After climb­ing out of the wreck­age, one asked the other, “Any idea where we are?”

He replied, “I think we’re pretty close to where we crashed last year.”

Proof that Men Have Better Friends…

Friend­ship among Women:
A woman didn’t come home one night.
The next morn­ing she told her hus­band that she had slept over at a friend’s house.
The man called his wife’s 10 best friends.
None of them knew any­thing about it.

Usually Happens To Me Around 8:00 AM

This morn­ing there came the sound of laugh­ter from the cubi­cal next door. A pause. More laugh­ter. Then #9 read out loud. Laugh­ter. Num­ber 11 out loud. Now laugh­ter in two cubicles.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do any­thing pro­duc­tive for the rest of the day.

Started up, still up.

Walking Home From School

An elderly cou­ple was cel­e­brat­ing their six­ti­eth anniver­sary. They had mar­ried as child­hood sweet­hearts and had moved back to their old neigh­bor­hood after they retired. Hold­ing hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they’d shared, where Andy had carved I love you, Sally.

On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, prac­ti­cally land­ing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, took it home. There, she counted the money-fifty thou­sand dol­lars! Andy said, “We’ve got to give it back.” Sally said, “Find­ers keep­ers.” She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic.

The next day, two police offi­cers were can­vass­ing the neigh­bor­hood look­ing for the money, and knocked on their door.” Par­don me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yes­ter­day?” Sally said, “No.” Andy said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.” Sally said, “Don’t believe him, he’s get­ting senile!”

The offi­cers turned to Andy and began to ques­tion him, “Tell us the story from the begin­ning.” Andy said, “Well, when Sally and I were walk­ing home from school yes­ter­day” .…The police offi­cer turned to his part­ner and said, “We’re outta here!”

How Was Your Day?

It got crowded in heaven, so, for one day it was decided only to accept peo­ple who had really had a bad day on the day they died. St. Peter was stand­ing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, “Tell me about the day you died.”

The man said, “Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was hav­ing an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apart­ment but couldn’t find him any­where. So I went out onto the bal­cony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hang­ing over the edge by his fin­ger­tips. I went inside, got a ham­mer, and started hit­ting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrig­er­a­tor and pushed it over the bal­cony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, and I died.”

St. Peter couldn’t deny that this was a pretty bad day, and since it was a crime of pas­sion, he let the man in.

He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. “Well, sir, it was awful,” said the sec­ond man. “I was doing aer­o­bics on the bal­cony of my 26th floor apart­ment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I man­aged to grab the bal­cony of the apart­ment below, but some maniac came out and started pound­ing on my fin­gers with a ham­mer. Luck­ily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrig­er­a­tor on me!”

St. Peter chuck­led, let him into heaven and decided he could really start to enjoy this job.

Tell me about the day you died?”, he said to the third man in line.

OK, pic­ture this; I’m naked, hid­ing inside a refrigerator…”

Fried Chicken

Our teacher asked us what our favorite ani­mal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.”

She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, ‘cause every­one else in the class laughed.

My par­ents told me to always be truth­ful and hon­est, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.

I told my dad what hap­pened, and he said my teacher was prob­a­bly a mem­ber of PETA. He said they love ani­mals very much. I do, too … espe­cially chicken, pork and beef.

Any­way, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what hap­pened, and he laughed too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live ani­mal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she’d asked the other chil­dren. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal’s office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don’t under­stand. My par­ents taught me to be hon­est, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous per­son we admire most. I told her, “Colonel Sanders.”

Guess where I am now…

Bacon Tree

Two Mex­i­cans are stuck in the desert after cross­ing into the United States, wan­der­ing aim­lessly and starv­ing. They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sud­den Luis says.….….

Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk.”

Ees, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon.”

With renewed hope they strug­gle up the next sand dune, & there, in the dis­tance, is a tree loaded with bacon. There’s raw bacon, there’s fried bacon, back bacon, dou­ble smoked bacon … Every imag­in­able kind of cured pork.

Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree.”

Luis, maybe ees a meer­age? We ees in the desert don’t forget.”

Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meer­age that smell like bacon…ees no meer­age, ees a bacon tree.”

And with that, Luis stag­gers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawl­ing close behind, when sud­denly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock. Mor­tally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath,

Pepe… Go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!”

Luis, Luis MI amigo… What ees it?”

Pepe.. Ees not a bacon tree. Ees

Ees

Ees

Ees a ham bush.….”

Young Love

Lit­tle Bruce and Jenny are only 10 years old, but they know they are in love.

One day they decide that they want to get mar­ried, so Bruce goes to Jenny’s father to ask him for her hand. 

Bruce bravely walks up to him and says, “Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage.”

Think­ing that this was just the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, “Well Bruce, you are only 10. Where will you two live?”

With­out even tak­ing a moment to think about it, Bruce replies, “In Jenny’s room. It’s big­ger than mine and we can both fit there nicely.”

Still think­ing this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, “Okay, then how will you live? You’re not old enough to get a job. You’ll need to sup­port Jenny.”

Again, Bruce instantly replies, “Our allowance, Jenny makes five bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That’s about 60 bucks a month, so that should do us just fine.”

Mr. Smith is impressed Bruce has put so much thought into this.

Well Bruce, it seems like you have every­thing fig­ured out. I just have one more ques­tion. What will you do if the two of you should have lit­tle chil­dren of your own?”

Bruce just shrugs his shoul­ders and says, “Well, we’ve been lucky so far.”

Big Words

A teacher asks the class to name things that end with ‘tor’ that eat things.
The first lit­tle boy says, “Alli­ga­tor.“
“Very good, that’s a big word.“
The sec­ond boy says, “Preda­tor.“
“Yes, that’s another big word. Well done.“
The third boy says, “Vibra­tor, Miss.“
After nearly falling off her chair, she says, “That is a big word, but it doesn’t eat any­thing.“
“Well my sis­ter has one and she says it eats bat­ter­ies like there’s no tomorrow!

How To Simulate Being A Sailor

This “joke” was for­warded to me from my brother-in-law, who like Donna and I, spent a few years as a mem­ber of Uncle Sam’s Yatch Club. Ex-swabbies, no mat­ter which por­tion of the Navy they served in, will be able to relate to almost all of them. I can’t speak for the Med because I never sailed there, but #38 is a pretty accu­rate descrip­tion of lib­erty in every West Pac port…

1. Buy a steel dump­ster, paint it gray inside and out, and live in it for six months.

2. Run all the pipes and wires in your house exposed on the walls.

3. Repaint your entire house every month.

4. Ren­o­vate your bath­room. Build a wall across the mid­dle of the bath­tub and move the shower head to chest level. When you take show­ers, make sure you turn off the water while you soap down.

5. Put lube oil in your humid­i­fier and set it on high.

6. Once a week, blow com­pressed air (or use a leaf blower) up your chim­ney, mak­ing sure the wind car­ries the soot onto your neighbor’s house. Ignore his complaints.

7. Once a month, take all major appli­ances apart and then reassem­ble them.

8. Raise the thresh­olds and lower the head­ers of your front and back doors so that you either trip or bang your head every time you pass through them.

9. Dis­as­sem­ble and inspect your lawn­mower every week.

10. On Mon­days, Wednes­days, and Fri­days, turn your water heater tem­per­a­ture up to 200 degrees. On Tues­days and Thurs­days, turn the water heater off. On Sat­ur­days and Sun­days tell your fam­ily they use too much water dur­ing the week, so no bathing will be allowed.

11. Raise your bed to within 6 inches of the ceil­ing, so you can’t turn over with­out get­ting out and then get­ting back in.

12. Sleep on the shelf in your closet. Replace the closet door with a cur­tain. Have your spouse whip open the cur­tain about 3 hours after you go to sleep, shine a flash­light in your eyes, and say “Sorry, wrong rack.”

13. Make your fam­ily qual­ify to oper­ate each appli­ance in your house — dish­washer oper­a­tor, blender tech­ni­cian, etc. Re-qualify every 6 months.

14. Have your neigh­bor come over each day at 0500, blow a whis­tle so loud Helen Keller could hear it, and shout “Reveille, reveille, all hands heave out and trice up.”

15. Have your mother-in-law write down every­thing she’s going to do the fol­low­ing day, then have her make you stand in your back yard at 0600 while she reads it to you.

16. Sub­mit a request chit to your father-in-law request­ing per­mis­sion to leave your house before 1500.

17. Empty all the garbage bins in your house and sweep the dri­ve­way three times a day, whether it needs it or not. Have some­one repeat loudly, “Now sweep­ers, sweep­ers, man your brooms, give the ship a clean sweep down fore and aft, empty all shit cans and butt kits over the fantail!”

18. Have your neigh­bor col­lect all your mail for a month, read your mag­a­zines, and ran­domly lose every 5th item before deliv­er­ing it to you.

19. Watch no TV except for movies played in the mid­dle of the night. Have your fam­ily vote on which movie to watch, then show a dif­fer­ent one. Repeat the same movie sev­eral nights in a row.

20. When your chil­dren are in bed, run into their room with a mega­phone shout­ing that your home is under attack and order­ing them to their bat­tle sta­tions, shout­ing, “Now gen­eral quar­ters, gen­eral quar­ters, all hands man your bat­tle stations!”

21. Make your fam­ily menu a week ahead of time with­out con­sult­ing the pantry or refrigerator.

22. Post a menu on the kitchen door inform­ing your fam­ily that they are hav­ing steak for din­ner. Then make them wait in line for an hour. When finally get to the kitchen, tell them you are out of steak, but they can have dried ham or hot dogs. Repeat daily until they ignore the menu and just ask for hot dogs.

23. Bake a cake. Prop up one side of the pan so the cake bakes unevenly. Spread icing real thick to level it off.

24. Get up every night around mid­night and have a peanut but­ter and jelly sand­wich on stale bread. (Call this “Midrats”.)

25. Set your alarm clock to go off at ran­dom dur­ing the night. At the alarm, jump up and dress as fast as you can, mak­ing sure to but­ton your top shirt but­ton and tuck your pants into your socks. Run out into the back­yard and uncoil the gar­den hose.

26. Every week or so, throw your cat or dog in the pool and shout “Man over­board port side!” Rate your fam­ily mem­bers on how quickly they respond.

27. Put the head­phones from your stereo on your head, but don’t plug them in. Hang a paper cup around your neck on a string. Stand in front of the stove, and speak into the paper cup “Stove manned and ready.” After an hour or so, speak into the cup again “Stove secured.” Roll up the head­phones and paper cup and stow them in a shoebox.

28. Make your fam­ily turn out all the lights and go to bed at 2200, say­ing, “Now taps, taps! Lights out! Main­tain silence through­out the ship!” Then imme­di­ately have an 18-wheeler crash into your house (for the ben­e­fit of air­craft car­rier sailors).

29. Build a fire in a trash can in your garage. Loudly announce to your fam­ily, “This is a drill! This is a drill! Fire in hangar bay one!”

30. Place a podium at the end of your dri­ve­way. Have your fam­ily stand watches at the podium, rotat­ing at 4 hour inter­vals. This is best done when the weather is worst. Jan­u­ary is a good time.

31. When there is a thun­der­storm in your area, get a wob­bly rock­ing chair, sit in it and rock as hard as you can until you become nau­se­ated. Make sure to have a sup­ply of stale crack­ers in your shirt pocket. ALT: Find the biggest horse you can, put a 2-inch mat­tress on his back, and strap your­self to it. Turn him loose in a barn filled with snakes for six hours and try to sleep. Then get up and go to work.

32. For for­mer engi­neers: bring your lawn mower into the liv­ing room and run it all day long.

33. Make cof­fee using eigh­teen scoops of bud­get priced cof­fee grounds per pot; let the pot sim­mer for 5 hours before drinking.

37. Take hourly read­ings on your elec­tric and water meters.

38. Every cou­ple of weeks, dress up in your best clothes and go to the scum­mi­est part of town. Find the most run down, trashiest bar, and drink beer until you are ham­mered. Then walk all the way home.

39. Lock your­self and your fam­ily in the house for six weeks. Tell them that at the end of the 6th week you are going to take them to Dis­ney World for “lib­erty.” At the end of the 6th week, inform them the trip to Dis­ney World has been can­celed because they need to get ready for an inspec­tion, and it will be another week before they can leave the house.

Poor Larry

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assign­ment: Get their Par­ents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their sto­ries. There were all the reg­u­lar types of stuff: spilled milk and pen­nies saved. But then the teacher real­ized, much to her dis­may, that only Larry was left.

Larry, do you have a story to share?”

Yes ma’am. My daddy told a story about my Aunt Karen. She was a pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy ter­ri­tory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pis­tol, and a sur­vival knife.

She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bot­tle wouldn’t break, and then her para­chute landed her right in the mid­dle of 20 Iraqi troops.

She shot 15 of them with the pis­tol, until she ran out of bul­lets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands.”

Good Heav­ens,” said the hor­ri­fied teacher. “What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from this hor­ri­ble story?”

Stay the fuck away from Aunt Karen when she’s been drinking.”

Larry is doing deten­tion all week!

Should I Update My Will?

A dis­traught senior cit­i­zen phoned her doctor’s office.

Is it true,” she wanted to know, “that the med­ica­tion you pre­scribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?”

Yes, I’m afraid so,” the doc­tor told her.

There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, “I’m won­der­ing then, just how seri­ous my con­di­tion is, this pre­scrip­tion is marked ‘NO REFILLS’.”

Business Trip

A busi­ness man checked into his hotel and was a bit lonely. He thought, maybe he’d call one of those girls you see adver­tised in phone books under escorts and such. So he picked up the phone book and found an ad for a girl call­ing her­self “Ero­go­nique”, a lovely girl. Bend­ing over in the photo, she had all the right curves in all the right places, beau­ti­ful wavy hair, long grace­ful legs… well, you get the pic­ture! He fig­ured, what the heck, give her a call.

Hello”, the woman says… God, she sounded sexy already.

Afraid he would lose my nerve if he hes­i­tated, he rushed right in. “Hi, I hear you give a great mas­sage and I’d like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I’m in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. Bring imple­ments, toys, rub­ber, leather, whips — every­thing you’ve got in your bag of tricks. We’ll go hot and heavy all night… you can tie me up, cover me in choco­late syrup and whipped cream, any­thing and every­thing goes! Now, how does that sound to you?”

She replied, “That sounds fan­tas­tic sir but, if you want an out­side line, you need to press 9.”

Turkey Hunters

An 80-year-old man went to the doc­tor for a check-up and the doc­tor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doc­tor asked, “To what do you attribute your good health?”

The old timer said, “I’m a turkey hunter and that’s why I’m in such good shape. I’m up well before day­light and out chas­ing turkeys up and down the mountains.”

The doc­tor said, “Well, I’m sure that helps, but there’s got to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?”

The old timer said, “Who said my dad’s dead?”

The doc­tor said, “You mean you’re 80 years old and your dad’s still alive? How old is he?”

The old timer said, “He’s 100 years old and, in fact, he hunted turkey with me this morn­ing, and that’s why he’s still alive…he’s a turkey hunter.”

The doc­tor said, “Well, that’s great, but I’m sure there’s more to it. How about your dad’s dad? How old was he when he died?”

The old timer said, “Who said my grandpa’s dead?”

The doc­tor said, “You mean you’re 80 years old and your grandfather’s still liv­ing! How old is he?”

The old timer said, “He’s 118 years old.”

The doc­tor was get­ting frus­trated at this point and said,“I guess he went turkey hunt­ing with you this morn­ing too?”

The old timer said, “No… Grandpa couldn’t go this morn­ing because he got married.”

The Doc­tor said in amaze­ment, “Got mar­ried! Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?”

The old timer said, “Who said he wanted to?

I Need A Push

A man and his wife were awak­ened at 3:00 am by a loud pound­ing on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, stand­ing in the pour­ing rain, is ask­ing for a push.

Not a chance,” says the hus­band, “it is 3:00 in the morn­ing!” He slams the door and returns to bed.

Who was that?” asked his wife.

Just some drunk guy ask­ing for a push,” he answers.

Did you help him?” she asks.

No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morn­ing and it is pour­ing rain out there!”

Well, you have a short mem­ory,” says his wife. “Can“t you remem­ber about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!”

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pound­ing rain.

He calls out into the dark, “Hello, are you still there?”

Yes,” comes back the answer.

Do you still need a push?” calls out the husband.

Yes, please!” comes the reply from the dark.

Where are you?” asks the husband.

Over here on the swing,” replied the drunk.

High School Reunion

My wife and I were sit­ting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept star­ing at a drunken lady swig­ging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asked, “Do you know her?”

Yes,” I sighed, “She’s my old girl­friend. I under­stand she took to drink­ing right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn’t been sober since.”

My God!” says my wife, “who would think a per­son could go on cel­e­brat­ing that long?”

Applying For Social Security

After retir­ing, I went to the Social Secu­rity office to apply for Social Secu­rity. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to ver­ify my age… I looked in my pock­ets and real­ized I had left my wal­let at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, “Unbut­ton your shirt.” So I opened my shirt reveal­ing my curly sil­ver hair. She said, “That sil­ver hair on your chest is proof enough for me.” She processed my Social Secu­rity application.

When I got home, I excit­edly told my wife about my expe­ri­ence at the Social Secu­rity office.

She said, “You should have dropped your pants. You might have got­ten dis­abil­ity, too.”

Foul Weather Fisherman

Sat­ur­day morn­ing I got up early, qui­etly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped qui­etly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and pro­ceeded to back out into a tor­ren­tial down­pour. The wind was blow­ing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and dis­cov­ered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, qui­etly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cud­dled up to my wife’s back, now with a dif­fer­ent antic­i­pa­tion, and whis­pered, “The weather out there is terrible.”

My lov­ing wife of 10 years replied, “Can you believe my stu­pid hus­band is out fish­ing in that?”

Rusty

An old man in his mid-eighties strug­gles to get up from the couch then starts putting on his coat.
His wife, see­ing the unex­pected behav­ior, asks, “Where are you going?“
He replies, “I’m going to the doc­tor.“
She says, “Why, are you sick?“
He says, “Nope, I’m going to get me some of that Via­gra stuff.”

Imme­di­ately the wife starts work­ing and posi­tion­ing her­self to get out of her rocker and begins to put on her coat…
He says, “Where the heck are you going”?
She answers, “I’m going to the doc­tor, too.“
He says, “Why, what do you need?“
She says, “If you’re going to start using that rusty old thing, I’m get­ting a Tetanus shot..”

The Pope Visits New England

On a trip to the US, the Pope vis­its the coast of New Eng­land to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean crash­ing against the rocky shore. While there, he sees a man in a New York Yan­kees hat out in the water, call­ing for help as he’s being attacked by a shark.

Then, out of nowhere, Sully and Murph, wear­ing Red Sox shirts, come fly­ing up in a speed­boat, haul the man in the Yan­kees hat out of the water, and beat the shark to death.

As the three men come ashore, the Pope runs up to them and exclaims “I have always heard of the enmity between fans of the Yan­kees and Red Sox. But see­ing what I have seen today, it renews my hope for all of mankind. Thank you, and God bless you!”

As the Pope rides off in his Pope­mo­bile, Sully turns to Murph and says “He seems like a really nice guy.”

To which Murph replies “Yeah, but he knows @*#!-all about shark fishing.”

Little Blue Pill

A man goes to an oral sur­geon to have a tooth pulled.

The den­tist pulls out a freez­ing nee­dle to give the man a shot.
“No way! No nee­dles! I hate nee­dles!” the patient said.

The den­tist starts to hook up the laugh­ing gas & the man objects.
“I can’t do the gas thing. The thought of hav­ing the gas mask on is suf­fo­cat­ing me!”

The den­tist then asks the patient if he has any objec­tion to tak­ing a pill.
“No objec­tion,” the patient says. “I’m fine with pills.”

The den­tist then returns and says, “Here’s a Via­gra tablet.“
The patient says, “Wow! I didn’t know Via­gra worked as a pain killer!“
“It doesn’t,” said the den­tist, “but it will give you some­thing to hold onto when I pull your tooth.

Never Argue with a Woman

One morn­ing the hus­band returns after sev­eral hours of fish­ing and decides to take a nap. Although not famil­iar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short dis­tance, anchors, and starts to read a book.

Along comes a Game War­den in his boat. He pulls up along­side the woman and says, “Good morn­ing, Ma’am. What are you doing?“
“Read­ing a book,” she replies.
“You’re in a Restricted Fish­ing Area,” he informs her.
“I’m sorry, offi­cer, but I’m not fish­ing. I’m read­ing.“
“Yes, but you have all the equip­ment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sex­ual assault,” says the woman.
“But I haven’t even touched you,” says the game war­den.
“That’s true, but you have all the equip­ment. For all I know you could start at any moment.“
“Have a nice day ma’am,” and he left.

Three Hillbillies

Three Hill­bil­lies are sit­ting on a porch shootin’ the breeze.

1st Hill­billy says: “My wife sure is stupid!…She bought an air con­di­tioner.“
2nd Hill­billy says: “Why is that stu­pid?“
1st Hill­billy says: “We ain’t got no ‘lectricity!”

2nd Hill­billy says: “That’s nothin’! My wife is so stu­pid, she bought one of them new fan­gled warshin’ machines!“
1st Hill­billy says: “Why is that so stu­pid?“
2nd Hill­billy says: ”Cause we ain’t got no plummin’!”

3rd Hill­billy says: “That ain’t nuthin’! My wife is dumber than both yer wifes put together! I was going through her purse the other day lookin’ fer some change, and I found 6 con­doms in thar.“
1st and 2nd Hill­bil­lies say: “Well, what’s so dumb about that?“
3rd Hill­billy says: “She ain’t got no pecker.”

Almost an Affair

A mar­ried Irish­man went into the con­fes­sional and said to his priest, “I almost had an affair with another woman.”

The priest said, “What do you mean, almost?”

The Irish­man said, “Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped.”

The priest said, “Rub­bing together is the same as putting it in. You’re not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary’s and put $50 in the poor box.”

The Irish­man left the con­fes­sional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave.

The priest, who was watch­ing, quickly ran over to him say­ing, “I saw that. You didn’t put any money in the poor box!”

The Irish­man replied, “Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and accord­ing to you, that’s the same as putting it in!”

Poor Creature

Mul­doon lived alone in the Irish coun­try­side with only a pet dog for com­pany. One day the dog died, and Mul­doon went to the parish priest and asked, “Father, my dog is dead. Could ya’ be say­ing’ a mass for the poor creature?”

Father Patrick replied, “I’m afraid not; we can­not have ser­vices for an ani­mal in the church. But there are some Bap­tists down the lane, and there’s no tellin’ what they believe. Maybe they’ll do some­thing for the creature.”

Mul­doon said, “I’ll go right away Father. Do ya ‘think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?”

Father Patrick exclaimed, “Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn’t ya tell me the dog was Catholic?”

Stock Market Explained

It was autumn, and the Indi­ans asked their New Chief if the win­ter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a mod­ern soci­ety, he couldn’t tell what the weather was going to be.

Nev­er­the­less, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the win­ter was indeed going to be cold and that the mem­bers of the vil­lage should col­lect wood to be prepared.

But also being a prac­ti­cal leader, after sev­eral days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Ser­vice and asked, “Is the com­ing win­ter going to be cold?”

It looks like this win­ter is going to be quite cold indeed,” the weather man responded.

So the Chief went back to his peo­ple and told them to col­lect even more wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Ser­vice again. “Is it going to be a very cold winter?”

Yes,” the man at National Weather Ser­vice again replied, “It’s def­i­nitely going to be a very cold winter.”

The Chief again went back to his peo­ple and ordered them to col­lect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Ser­vice again. “Are you absolutely sure that the win­ter is going to be very cold?”

Absolutely,” The man replied. “It’s going to be one of the cold­est win­ters ever.”

How can you be so sure?” the Chief asked.

The weath­er­man replied, “The Indi­ans are col­lect­ing wood like crazy.”

This is how the Stock Mar­ket works!

A Redneck Love Poem

Susie Lee done fell in love, she planned to marry Joe.
She was so happy ‘bout it all, she told her pappy so.

Pappy told her, Susie gal, you’ll have to find another.
I’d just as soon yo’ ma don’t know, but Joe is yo’ half brother.

But mama knew and said, my child, just do what makes yo’ happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe; you ain’t no kin to pappy.

(Kinda brings a tear to yer eye, don’t it?)

Grandma’s Birth Control Pills

The doc­tor that had been see­ing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doc­tor told her to bring a list of all the med­i­cines that had been pre­scribed for her.

As the young doc­tor was look­ing through these, his eyes grew wide as he real­ized she had a pre­scrip­tion for birth con­trol pills.

Mrs. Smith, do you real­ize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?

Yes, they help me sleep at night.”

Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could pos­si­bly help you sleep!”

She reached out and pat­ted the young Doctor’s knee. “Yes, dear, I know that. But every morn­ing, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old grand­daugh­ter drinks…and believe me, it helps me sleep at night.”

The Cat’s Diary

Day 983 of my captivity.

My cap­tors con­tinue to taunt me with bizarre lit­tle dan­gling objects. They dine lav­ishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my con­tempt for the rations per­fectly clear, I nev­er­the­less must eat some­thing in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to dis­gust them, I once again vomit on the car­pet. Today I decap­i­tated a mouse and dropped its head­less body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demon­strates my capa­bil­i­ties. How­ever, they merely made con­de­scend­ing com­ments about what a “good lit­tle hunter” I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assem­bly of their accom­plices tonight. I was placed in soli­tary con­fine­ment for the dura­tion of the event. How­ever, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I over­heard that my con­fine­ment was due to the power of “aller­gies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost suc­cess­ful in an attempt to assas­si­nate one of my tor­men­tors by weav­ing around his feet as he was walk­ing. I must try this again tomor­row, but at the top of the stairs.

I am con­vinced that the other pris­on­ers here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives spe­cial priv­i­leges. He is reg­u­larly released, and seems to be more than will­ing to return. He is obvi­ously retarded. The bird must be an infor­mant. I observe him com­mu­ni­cate with the guards reg­u­larly. I am cer­tain that he reports my every move. My cap­tors have arranged pro­tec­tive cus­tody for him in an ele­vated cell, so he is safe.

For now…

Nurses Aren’t Supposed To Laugh

Of course I won’t laugh, I’m a pro­fes­sional nurse. In over twenty years I’ve never laughed at a patient.”

Okay then,” the man said and pro­ceeded to drop his trousers, reveal­ing the tini­est man thingy the nurse had ever seen. Length and width, it couldn’t have been big­ger than a AAA battery.

Unable to con­trol her­self, the nurse started gig­gling then fell laugh­ing to the floor. Min­utes later she was able to strug­gle to her feet and regain her composure.

I’m so sorry,” said the nurse. “I don’t know what came over me. On my honor as a nurse and a lady, I promise it won’t hap­pen again. Now, tell me, what seems to be the problem ?”

It’s swollen,” the man replied.

The Geography Of The Sexes

WOMAN
Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa, half dis­cov­ered, half wild, fer­tile and nat­u­rally beautiful!

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe, well devel­oped and open to trade, espe­cially for some­one with cash.

MAN
Between 1 and 70, he is like Iran, ruled by nuts.

Urologist Visit

As men age, we tend to end up see­ing more and more of the med­ical estab­lish­ment. For exam­ple, my fam­ily doc­tor recently referred me to a female urologist.

I saw her yes­ter­day and she is gor­geous. She’s beau­ti­ful and unbe­liev­ably sexy. She told me that I must stop masturbating.

I asked her why, and she said, “Because I’m try­ing to exam­ine you…”

His Funeral Service Will Be Held On Saturday

A woman comes home and tells her hus­band, “Remem­ber those headaches I have been hav­ing all these years? Well, they’re gone.”

No more headaches?” the hus­band asks,” What happened?”

His wife replies,” Margie referred me to a hyp­no­tist. He told me to stand in front of a mir­ror, stare at myself and repeat, I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache, I do not have a headache.”

It worked! The headaches are all gone.” His wife then adds, “You know, you haven’t been exactly a ball of fire in the bed­room these last few years. Why don’t you go see the hyp­no­tist and see if he can do any­thing for that?”

The hus­band agrees to try it.

Fol­low­ing his appoint­ment, the hus­band comes home, rips off his clothes, picks up his wife and car­ries her into the bed­room. He puts her on the bed and says, “Don’t move, I’ll be right back.”

He goes into the bath­room and comes back a few min­utes later and jumps into bed and makes pas­sion­ate love to his wife like never before.

His wife says, “Boy, that was wonderful!”

The hus­band says, “Don’t move! I’ll be right back.”

He goes back into the bath­room, comes back, and round two was even bet­ter than the first time. The wife sits up and her head is spinning.

Her hus­band again says, “Don’t move, I’ll be right back.” With that, he goes back in the bathroom.

This time, his wife qui­etly fol­lows him and there, in the bath­room, she sees him stand­ing at the mir­ror and say­ing, “She’s not my wife. She’s not my wife. She’s not my wife!”

Go Fly A Kite

A hus­band in his back yard is try­ing to fly a kite. He throws the kite up in the air, the wind catches it for a few sec­onds, then it comes crash­ing back down to earth. He tries this a few more times with no success.

All the while, his wife is watch­ing from the kitchen win­dow, mut­ter­ing to her­self how men need to be told how to do every­thing. She opens the win­dow and yells to her hus­band, “You need a piece of tail”

The man turns with a con­fused look on his face and says, “Make up your mind. Last night, you told me to go fly a kite.”

Kissing a Nun

A cab­bie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab dri­ver won’t stop star­ing at her. She asks him why are you star­ing. And he replies, “I have a ques­tion to ask you but I don’t want to offend you.

She answers, ‘My dear son, you can­not offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun a long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about every­thing. I’m sure that there’s noth­ing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”

Well, I’ve always had a fan­tasy to have a nun kiss me.”

She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be sin­gle and #2 you must be Catholic.”

The cab dri­ver is very excited and says, “Yes, I am sin­gle and I’m Catholic too!”

The nun says “OK, pull into the next alley.”

He does and the nun ful­fills his fan­tasy. But when they get back on the road, the cab dri­ver starts cry­ing. “My dear child, said the nun, why are you crying?”

For­give me sis­ter, but I have sinned. I lied, I must con­fess, I’m mar­ried and I’m Jewish.”

The nun says, “That’s OK, my name is Kevin and I’m on my way to a Hal­loween party.”

(a lit­tle late for Hal­loween, but thanks Rae.)

Don’t Mess With Old People

An old prospec­tor shuf­fled into town lead­ing an old tired mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town to clear his parched throat.

He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there brush­ing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gun­slinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bot­tle of whiskey in the other.

The young gun­slinger looked at the old man and laughed, say­ing, “Hey old man, have you ever danced?”

The old man looked up at the gun­slinger and said, “No, I never danced, and I’ve never wanted too.”

A crowd had gath­ered quickly and the gun­slinger grinned and said, “Well, you old fool, you’re gonna’ dance now,” and started shoot­ing at the old man’s feet. The old prospec­tor in order not to get a toe blown off or his boots per­fo­rated, was soon hop­ping around like a flea on a hot skil­let and every­body was laugh­ing fit to be tied.

When the last bul­let had been fired, the young gun­slinger, still laugh­ing, hol­stered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a dou­ble bar­reled shot-gun, and cocked both ham­mers back.

The loud, audi­ble dou­ble click’s car­ried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laugh­ing imme­di­ately. The young gun­slinger heard the sounds, too, and he turned around very slowly. The quiet was almost deaf­en­ing. The crowd watched as the young gun­man stared at the old timer and the large gap­ing holes of those twin bar­rels. He found it hard to swal­low. The bar­rel of the shot­gun never wavered in the old man’s hands.

The old man said, “Son, did you ever kiss a mule’s ass?”

The young bully swal­lowed hard and said, “No sir, but I’ve always wanted to.”

Back Country Funeral

As a young min­is­ter in Ken­tucky, I was asked by a funeral direc­tor to hold a grave­side ser­vice for a home­less man, who had no fam­ily or friends. The funeral was to be held at a new ceme­tery way back in the coun­try, and this man would be the first to be buried there. I was not famil­iar with the back­woods area, and I soon became lost. Being a typ­i­cal man, I did not stop to ask for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the back­hoe and the open grave, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. The dig­ging crew was eat­ing lunch. I apol­o­gized to the work­ers for my tar­di­ness, and I stepped to the side of the open grave. There I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the work­ers I would not hold them up for long, as I told them that this was the proper thing to do.

The work­ers gath­ered around the grave and stood silently, as I began to pour out my heart and soul. As I preached about “look­ing for­ward to a brighter tomor­row” and “the glory that is to come,” the work­ers began to say “Amen,” “Praise the Lord,” and “Glory!” The fer­vor of these men truly inspired me. So, I preached and I preached like I had never preached before, all the way from Gen­e­sis to Revelations.

I finally closed the lengthy ser­vice with a prayer, thanked the men, and walked to my car. As I was open­ing the door and tak­ing off my coat, I heard one of the work­ers say to another, “I ain’t NEVER seen nothin’ like that before, and I’ve been puttin’ in sep­tic tanks for thirty years!”

Twins Every Time

A cen­sus taker in a rural area went up to a farm­house and knocked. When a woman came to the door, he asked her how many chil­dren she had and their ages.

She said, “Les’ see now, there’s the twins, Sally and Billy, they’re thirty-two. And the twins, Seth & Beth, they’re twenty-six. And the twins, Penny and Jenny, they’re twenty-four.”

Hold on!” said the cen­sus taker, “Did you get twins EVERY time?”

The woman answered, “Heck no, there was hun­dreds of times we didn’t get nothin’.”

Ghost Buster?

An extremely mod­est man was in the hos­pi­tal for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bod­ily sys­tems extremely upset. Upon mak­ing sev­eral false alarm trips to the bath­room, he decided the lat­est episode was another and stayed put. He sud­denly filled his bed with diar­rhea and was embar­rassed beyond his abil­ity to remain ratio­nal. He jumped out of bed, gath­ered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hos­pi­tal window.

At that moment a drunk was walk­ing by and the sheets landed right on him. He started yelling, curs­ing, and swing­ing his arms vio­lently try­ing to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tan­gled pile at his feet.

As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, star­ing down at the sheets, a hos­pi­tal secu­rity guard who had watched the whole inci­dent, and barely con­tain­ing his laugh­ter, walked up and asked, “What the heck is going on here?”

The drunk, still star­ing down replied: “I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost.”

Up or Down

At a Senior Citizen’s lun­cheon, an elderly gen­tle­man and an elderly lady struck up a con­ver­sa­tion and dis­cov­ered that they both loved to fish. Since both of them were wid­owed, they decided to go fish­ing together the next day.

The gen­tle­man picked the lady up, and they headed to the river to his fish­ing boat and started out on their adven­ture. They were rid­ing down the river when there was a fork in the river, and the gen­tle­man asked the lady, “Do you want to go up or down?”

All of a sud­den the lady stripped off her shirt and pants and made mad pas­sion­ate love to the man right there in the boat!

When they fin­ished, the man couldn’t believe what had just hap­pened, but he had just expe­ri­enced the best sex that he’d had in years. They fished for a while and con­tin­ued on down the river, when soon they came upon another fork in the river. He again asked the lady, “Up or down?”

There she went again, stripped off her clothes, and made wild pas­sion­ate love to him again.

This really impressed the elderly gen­tle­man, so he asked her to go fish­ing again the next day. She said yes and there they were the next day, rid­ing in the boat when they came upon the fork in river, and the elderly gen­tle­man asked, “Up or down?”

The woman replied, “Down.”

A lit­tle puz­zled and dis­ap­pointed, the gen­tle­man guided the boat down the river when he came upon another fork in the river and he asked the lady, “Up or down?”

She replied, “Up.”

This really con­fused the gen­tle­man so he asked, “What’s the deal? Yes­ter­day, every time I asked you if you wanted to go up or down you made mad pas­sion­ate love to me. Now today, nothing!”

She replied, “Well, yes­ter­day I wasn’t wear­ing my hear­ing aid and I thought the choices were fuck or drown.”

Moms in Therapy

A psy­chi­a­trist was con­duct­ing a group ther­apy ses­sion with four young moth­ers and their small chil­dren. “You all have obses­sions,” he observed.

To the first mother, Mary, he said, “You are obsessed with eat­ing. You’ve even named your daugh­ter Candy.”

He turned to the sec­ond Mom, Ann, “Your obses­sion is with money. Again, it man­i­fests itself in your child’s name, Penny.”

He turned to the third Mom, Joyce, “Your obses­sion is alco­hol. This too shows itself in your child’s name, Brandy.”

At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, qui­etly got up, took her lit­tle boy by the hand and whis­pered, “Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he’s talk­ing about. Let’s go pick up your broth­ers Peter and Willy from school.”

Black Testicles

A male patient is lying in bed in the hos­pi­tal, wear­ing an oxy­gen mask over his mouth and nose. A young, stu­dent nurse appears to give him a par­tial sponge bath.

Nurse, he mum­bles, from behind the mask. “Are my tes­ti­cles black?”

Embar­rassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know, Sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”

He strug­gles to ask again, “Nurse, please check. Are my tes­ti­cles black?”

Con­cerned that he may ele­vate his blood pres­sure and heart rate from worry about his tes­ti­cles, she over­comes her embar­rass­ment and pulls back the cov­ers. She raises his gown, holds his man­hood in one hand and his tes­ti­cles in the other. Then, she takes a close look and says, “There’s noth­ing wrong with them, Sir!”

The man pulls off his oxy­gen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, “Thank you very much. That was won­der­ful, but, lis­ten very, very closely.…..A r e — m y — t e s t — r e s u l t s — b a c k?”

Snippy Receptionist

An older gen­tle­man had an appoint­ment to see the urol­o­gist who shared offices with sev­eral other doc­tors. The wait­ing room was filled with patients.

As he approached the receptionist’s desk, he noticed that the recep­tion­ist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler. He gave her his name.

In a very loud voice, the recep­tion­ist said, “YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?”

All the patients in the wait­ing room snapped their heads around to look at the very embar­rassed man.

He recov­ered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, “NO, I’VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON’T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS.”

Clumsy Pallbearers

A funeral ser­vice is being held for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the ser­vice, the pall­bear­ers are car­ry­ing the cas­ket out when they acci­den­tally bump into a wall, jar­ring the cas­ket . They hear a faint moan. They open the cas­ket and find that the woman is actu­ally alive!

She lives for ten more years, and then dies. Once again, a cer­e­mony is held, and at the end of it, the pall­bear­ers are again car­ry­ing out the cas­ket. As they carry the cas­ket towards the door, the hus­band cries out, “Watch that wall!”

New Hinge

Char­lie was fix­ing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary to Home Depot.

At Home Depot, Mary saw a beau­ti­ful bath­room faucet while she was wait­ing for Walt the man­ager to fin­ish wait­ing on a cus­tomer. When Walt was fin­ished with the cus­tomer, Mary asked “How much for that faucet?”

Walt replied, “That’s pewter and it costs $300.”

My good­ness that sure is a lot of money!” Mary exclaimed. Then she pro­ceeded to describe the hinge that Char­lie had sent her to buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it.

From the back room Walt yelled, “Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?”

Mary replied, “No, but I will for the faucet.”

And this is why you can’t send a woman to Home Depot.

New Boots

An elderly cou­ple, Mar­garet and Bert, moved to Texas.

Bert always wanted a pair of authen­tic cow­boy boots, so, see­ing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.

Walk­ing proudly, he saun­tered into the kitchen and said to his wife, Notice any­thing dif­fer­ent about me?”

Mar­garet looked him over. “Nope.”

Frus­trated, Bert stormed off into the bath­room, undressed and walked back into the kitchen com­pletely naked except for the boots. Again he asked Mar­garet, a lit­tle louder this time, “Notice any­thing dif­fer­ent NOW?”

Mar­garet looked up and exclaimed, “Bert, what’s dif­fer­ent? It’s hang­ing down today, it was hang­ing down yes­ter­day, it’ll be hang­ing down again tomorrow!”

Furi­ous, Bert yelled, “AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?”

Nope”, she replied.

IT’S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT’S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!”

With­out chang­ing her expres­sion, Mar­garet replied, “Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat.”

Born Salesman

A young guy from Min­nesota moves to Florida and goes to a big ‘every­thing under one roof’ depart­ment store look­ing for a job.

The man­ager says, “Do you have any sales experience?”

The kid says, “Yeah. I was a sales­man back in Minnesota.”

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. “You start tomor­row. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.”

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came to see him. “How many cus­tomers bought some­thing from you today?”

The kid says, “One.”

The boss says “Just one? Our sales peo­ple aver­age 20 to 30 cus­tomers a day. How much was the sale for?”

The kid says, “$101,237.65.”

The boss says, “$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell him?”

The kid says, “First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish­hook. Then I sold him a larger fish­hook. Then I sold him a new fish­ing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fish­ing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat depart­ment and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the auto­mo­tive depart­ment and sold him that 4x4 Expedition.”

The boss said, “A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK? Is that right?”

The kid answered, “No, the guy came in here to buy Tam­pons for his wife, and I said, ‘Dude, your weekend’s shot; you should go fishing.’ ”

Why Men Wear Earrings

A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wear­ing an ear­ring. The guy knows his co-worker to be a nor­mally con­ser­v­a­tive fel­low, and is curi­ous about his sud­den change in ‘fash­ion sense.’

He walks up to him and says, “I didn’t know you were into earrings.”

Don’t make such a big deal, it’s only an ear­ring,” he replies sheepishly.

His friend falls silent for a few min­utes, but then his curios­ity prods him to ask, “So, how long have you been wear­ing one?”

Ever since my wife found it in my truck.”

Never Assume Men Understand

A woman was in a coma. She had been in it for months. Nurses were in her room giv­ing her a sponge bath. One of them was wash­ing her pri­vate area and noticed that there was a slight response on the mon­i­tor when­ever she touched her there. They tried it again and sure enough, there was def­i­nite movement.

They went to her hus­band and explained what hap­pened, telling him, “As crazy as this sounds, maybe a lit­tle ‘0ral Sex’ will do the trick & bring her out of the coma.”

The hus­band was skep­ti­cal, but they assured him that they would close the cur­tains for pri­vacy. The hus­band finally agreed and went into his wife’s room.

After a few min­utes the woman’s mon­i­tor flat lined, no pulse, no heart rate.

The nurses ran back into the room. “What hap­pened!?” they cried.

The hus­band said, “I’m not sure; maybe she choked.”

Pancakes

Mom and Dad took their six-year-old son to the doc­tor. With some hes­i­ta­tion, they explained that although their lit­tle angel was in good health, they were con­cerned about his rather small penis.

After exam­in­ing the child, the doc­tor con­fi­dently declared, “Just feed him pan­cakes. That should solve the problem.”

The next morn­ing at break­fast, there was a large stack of warm pan­cakes in the mid­dle of the table.

Gee, Mom,” the boy exclaimed. “Are those all for me?”

Take two,” Brenda replied, “The rest are for your dad.”

What’s The Difference?

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from a big city and is cer­tain that he has a bet­ter edu­ca­tion then any cop from this small town. He decides to prove this to him­self and have some fun at the deputy’s expense.

The deputy says,” License and reg­is­tra­tion, please.”

What for?” says the lawyer.

The deputy says, “You didn’t come to a com­plete stop at the stop sign.”

Then the lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

You still didn’t come to a com­plete stop.” says the deputy, “License and reg­is­tra­tion, please.”

The lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”

The dif­fer­ence is you have to come to com­plete stop, that’s the law. License and reg­is­tra­tion, please!” the Deputy says.

The lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal dif­fer­ence between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and reg­is­tra­tion; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”

That sounds fair. Please exit your vehi­cle, sir,” the deputy says.

The deputy takes out his night­stick and starts beat­ing the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says, “Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?”

Little Old Lady Entrepreneur

A lit­tle old lady is walk­ing down the street, drag­ging two large plas­tic garbage bags with her, one in each hand. Unfor­tu­nately, there is a rip in one of the bags, and every once in a while a $20 bill falls out onto the pavement.

Notic­ing this, a police­man stops her. “Ma’am, there are $20 bills falling out of your bag.”

Oh, really? Damn!” says the lit­tle old lady. “I’d bet­ter go back and see if I can col­lect them. Thanks for the warning.”

Well, now, not so fast,” says the cop. “How did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?”

Oh no,” says the lit­tle old lady. “You see, my back yard is right next to the park­ing lot of the foot­ball sta­dium. Each time there is a game; a lot of the fans come and pee through the bushes, right into my flower beds! So, I go and stand behind the bushes with a big hedge clip­per, and each time some­one sticks his lit­tle thingie through the bushes, I say, ‘$20 or off it comes!’ ”

Well, that seems only fair,” laughs the cop. “Ok, good luck! By the way, what’s in the other bag?”

Well,” says the lit­tle old lady, “not every­body pays.”

Lie Detecting Robot

John was a salesman’s delight when it came to any kind of unusual gim­mick. His wife Mar­sha had long ago given up try­ing to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual pur­chases. It was a robot that John claimed was actu­ally a lie detector.

It was about 5:30 that after­noon when Tommy, their 11-year-old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over two hours late.

Where have you been? Why are you over two hours late get­ting home?” asked John.

Sev­eral of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project,” said Tommy. The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knock­ing him com­pletely out of his chair.

Son,” said John, “this robot is a lie detec­tor. Now tell us where you really were after school.”

We went to Bobby’s house and watched a movie,” said Tommy.

What did you watch?” asked Marsha.

The Ten Com­mand­ments,” answered Tommy. The robot went around to Tommy and slapped him again, knock­ing him off his chair once more. With his lip quiv­er­ing, Tommy got up from the floor, sat down, and said, “I am sorry I lied. We really watched an R-rated movie.”

I am ashamed of you, son,” said John. “When I was your age, I never lied to my par­ents.” The robot then walked around to John and deliv­ered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair.

Mar­sha dou­bled over in laugh­ter, almost in tears, and said, “Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can’t be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!”

With that the robot imme­di­ately walked around to Mar­sha and knocked her out of her chair.

Watch the Watch

It was enter­tain­ment night at the Old Folks Home and the Amaz­ing Claude was top­ping the bill. Peo­ple came from miles around to see the famed hyp­no­tist do his stuff.

As Claude went to the front of the meet­ing room, he announced, “Unlike most hyp­no­tists who invite two or three peo­ple up here to be put into a trance, I intend to hyp­no­tize each and every mem­ber of the audience.”

The excite­ment was almost elec­tric as Claude with­drew a beau­ti­ful antique pocket watch from his coat. “I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It’s a very spe­cial watch. It’s been in my fam­ily five or six generations.”

He began to swing the watch gen­tly back and forth while qui­etly chant­ing, “Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch.” The crowd became mes­mer­ized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleam­ing off its pol­ished sur­face. Hun­dreds of pairs of eyes fol­lowed the sway­ing watch, until, sud­denly, it slipped from the hypnotist’s fin­gers and fell to the floor, break­ing into a hun­dred pieces.

Shit,” said Claude.

It took three days to clean up the Old Folks Home.

Stuttering Cat

A teacher is talk­ing about sci­ence to her 3rd grade stu­dents. ‘Human beings are the only ani­mals that stut­ter,’ she says.

A lit­tle girl raises her hand. ‘I had a kitty-cat who stut­tered,’ she volunteered.

The teacher, know­ing how pre­cious some of these sto­ries could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

Well,’ she began, ‘I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rot­tweiler that lives next door got a run­ning start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!

That must’ve been scary,’ said the teacher.

It sure was,’ said the lit­tle girl. ‘My kitty raised his back, went ‘Fffff, Fffff, Fffff’… And before he could say ‘Fuck,’ the Rot­tweiler ate him.

Take Me To Your Leader

Two aliens landed in the Ari­zona desert near a gas sta­tion that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it say­ing, “Greet­ings, Earth­ling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader.”

The gas pump, of course, didn’t respond.

The younger alien became angry at the lack of response.

The older alien said, “I’d calm down if I were you.”

The younger alien ignored the warn­ing and repeated his greet­ing. Again, there was no response.

Annoyed by what he per­ceived to be the pump’s haughty atti­tude, he drew his ray gun and said impa­tiently, “Greet­ings, Earth­ling. We come in peace. Do not ignore us this way! Take us to your leader or I will fire!”

The older alien again warned his com­rade say­ing, “You prob­a­bly don’t want to do that! I really don’t think you should make him mad.”

Rub­bish,” replied the cocky, young alien. He aimed his weapon at the pump and opened fire. There was a huge explo­sion. A mas­sive fire­ball roared towards them and blew the younger alien off his feet and deposited him a burnt, smok­ing mess about 200 yards away in a cac­tus patch.

Half an hour passed. When he finally regained con­scious­ness, he refo­cused his three eyes, straight­ened his bent antenna, and looked dazedly at the older, wiser alien who was stand­ing over him shak­ing his big, green head.

What a fero­cious crea­ture!” exclaimed the young, fried alien. “He damn near killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?”

The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on his crispy friend and replied, “If there’s one thing I’ve learned dur­ing all my inter­galac­tic trav­els, you don’t want to mess with a guy who can wrap his penis around him­self twice and then stick it in his ear.”

New Truck

One day Jim Bob was walk­ing down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba dri­ving a brand new pickup. Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin.

Bubba, where’d you git that truck?!?”

Tam­mie Joe gived it to me,” Bubba replied.

She gived it to ya? I know’d she wuz kinda sweet on ya’ll but a new truck?”

Well, Jim Bob let me tell you wut’ hap­pened. We wuz dri­vin’ out on County Road 6, in the mid­dle of nowheres. Tam­mie Joe pulled off the road, put the truck in 4X4 wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, ‘Bubba, ya’ll take what­ever you want.’”

So I took the truck!”

Bubba, yore a smart man! Them clothes woulda never fit you!”

She’s Not Using That Either?

The wife came home early and found her hus­band in their bed­room mak­ing love to a very attrac­tive young woman.

You dis­re­spect­ful pig!” she cried. “How dare you do this to me…a faith­ful wife, the mother of your chil­dren! I’m leav­ing you.. I want a divorce!”

He replied, “Hang on just a minute, so at least I can tell you what happened.”

Fine, go ahead”, she sobbed , “but they’ll be the last words you’ll say to me!”

So he began — “Well, I was get­ting into the car to drive home and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defense­less that I took pity on her and let her into the car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn’t eaten for three days! So, in my com­pas­sion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchi­ladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn’t eat because you’re afraid you’ll put on weight.

The poor thing devoured them in moments. Since she needed a good clean-up I sug­gested a shower, and while she was doing that I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw them away.

Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don’t use because you say they are too tight.. I also gave her the under­wear that was your anniver­sary present, which you don’t use because I don’t have good taste.

I found the sexy blouse my sis­ter gave you for Christ­mas that you don’t use just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expen­sive bou­tique and don’t use because some­one at work has the same pair.”

He took a quick breath and con­tin­ued — “She was so grate­ful for my under­stand­ing and help and as I walked her to the door she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said,

Please … Do you have any­thing else that your wife doesn’t use?”

The Golden Screw

Once upon a time, a young lad was born with­out a belly but­ton. In its place was a golden screw. All the doc­tors told his mother that there was noth­ing they could do. Like it or not, he was stuck with it.

All the years of grow­ing up was real tough on him, as all who saw the screw made fun of him. He avoided ever leav­ing his house and thus, never made any friends. One day, a mys­te­ri­ous stranger saw his belly and told him of a swami in Tibet that could get rid of the screw for him. He was thrilled.

The next day he took all of his life’s sav­ings and bought a ticket to Nepal. After sev­eral days of climb­ing up steep cliffs, he came upon a giant monastery. The swami knew exactly why he had come.

He was told to sleep in the high­est tower of the monastery and the fol­low­ing day when he awoke, the screw would have been removed. The man imme­di­ately went to the room and fell asleep.

Dur­ing the night while he slept, a pur­ple fog floated in an open win­dow, bear­ing in its mist, a golden screw­driver. In just moments, the screw-driver removed the screw and dis­ap­peared out the window.

The next morn­ing when the man woke, he saw the golden screw lay­ing on the pil­low next to him. Reach­ing down, he felt his navel, and there was no screw there! Jubi­lant, he leaped out of bed, and his butt fell off.

The moral to this is, “Don’t screw around with things you don’t under­stand — you could lose your ass.”

Question Time

Hillary Clin­ton goes to a pri­mary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers a ques­tion time. One lit­tle boy puts up his hand. The Sen­a­tor asks him what his name is.

Ken­neth.’

And what is your ques­tion, Kenneth?’

I have three ques­tions:
First — what­ever hap­pened to the med­ical health care plan you were paid to develop dur­ing your husband’s eight years in the office as Pres­i­dent?
Sec­ond — why would you run for Pres­i­dent after your hus­band shamed the office?
Third — what­ever hap­pened to all those things you took when you left the White House?’

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clin­ton informs the kids that they will con­tinue after recess. When they resume, Hillary says, ‘Okay, where were we? Oh, that’s right, ques­tion time. Who has a question?’

A dif­fer­ent lit­tle boy puts his hand up. Hillary points to him and asks him what his name is.

Larry.’

And what is your ques­tion, Larry?’

I have five ques­tions:
First — what­ever hap­pened to the med­ical health care plan you were paid to develop dur­ing your husband’s eight years in the office as Pres­i­dent?
Sec­ond — why would you run for Pres­i­dent after your hus­band shamed the office?
Third — what­ever hap­pened to all those things you took when you left the White House?
Fourth — why did the recess bell go off 20 min­utes early?
And Fifth — what hap­pened to Kenneth?’

Free Willy

A man wakes up the hos­pi­tal, ban­daged from head to foot. The doc­tor comes in and says, ‘Ah, I see you’ve regained con­scious­ness. Now, you prob­a­bly won’t remem­ber, but you were in a pile-up on the free­way. You’re going to be okay, you’ll walk again and every­thing, but… some­thing unfor­tu­nate hap­pened. I’m try­ing to break this gen­tly, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck, and we were unable to find it.’

The man groans, but the doc­tor goes on, ‘You’ve got $9,000 in insur­ance com­pen­sa­tion com­ing to you, and we have the tech­nol­ogy now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did — bet­ter in fact! But the thing is, it doesn’t come cheap. It’s $1,000 an inch.’

The man perks up at this.

So,’ the doc­tor says, ‘it’s for you to decide how many inches you want. But it’s some­thing you’d bet­ter dis­cuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before, and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be dis­ap­pointed. So it’s impor­tant that she plays a role in help­ing you make the decision.’

The man agrees to talk with his wife. The doc­tor comes back the next day. ‘So,’ says the doc­tor, ‘have you spo­ken with your wife?’

I have,’ says the man.

And has she helped you in mak­ing the decision?’

She has,’ says the man.

And what is it?’ asks the doctor.

We’re get­ting a new kitchen.’

The Importance Of Understanding English

Fluc­tu­a­tions Noun; plural

When I got back from Canada last week, I had a bunch of Cana­dian dol­lars I needed to exchange so I went to the cur­rency exchange win­dow at the local bank. It was a short line with just one guy in front of me. He was an Asian guy who was try­ing to exchange yen for dol­lars, and he was a lit­tle irritated!

He asked the teller, “Why it change? Yesto­day, I get two huna dolla fo yen. Today I get huna eighty? Why It change?”

The teller shrugged her shoul­ders and said, “Fluctuations.”

The Asian guy said, “Fluc you white peo­ple too!”

Gynecologist’s Assistant Opening

A young man goes into the Job Cen­ter in Charleston, SC and sees a card adver­tis­ing for a Gynecologist’s Assis­tant. Inter­ested he goes to learn more

Can you give me some more details about this?” he asks the guy behind the desk.

The Job Cen­ter man sorts through his files & replies — “Oh yes here it is: The job entails you get­ting the lady patients ready for the gyne­col­o­gist. You have to help them out of their under­wear, lie them down and care­fully wash their gen­i­tal regions. You then apply shav­ing foam and gen­tly shave off all their pubic hair then rub in sooth­ing oils so that they’re ready for the gynecologist’s exam­i­na­tion. There’s an annual salary of $45,000, but you’re going to have to go to Savan­nah, GA. That’s about 120 miles from here.”

Oh, why? Is that where the job’s at?”

No sir — that’s where the end of the line is…!!”

Wednesday

This silly lit­tle hol­i­day themed joke didn’t start out as my Wednes­day post when I put it here this morn­ing, but…

When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not pro­duce toys as fast as the reg­u­lar ones, and Santa began to feel the pre-Christmas pres­sure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was com­ing to visit, which stressed Santa even more.

When he went to har­ness the rein­deer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two oth­ers had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floor­boards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scat­tered. So, frus­trated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.

When he went to the cup­board, he dis­cov­ered the elves had drank all the cider and hid­den the liquor. In his frus­tra­tion, he acci­den­tally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hun­dreds of lit­tle glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.

He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom, just then the door­bell rang, and irri­tated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a lit­tle angel with a great big Christ­mas tree.

The angel said very cheer­fully, “Merry Christ­mas, Santa. Isn’t this a lovely day? I have a beau­ti­ful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?”

And so began the tra­di­tion of the lit­tle angel on top of the Christ­mas tree.

…things con­spired against me hav­ing any time to peck out a real post, so this is it. To bad too, as a lot of excit­ing things hap­pened today, a hair­cut, putting up Christ­mas “dec­o­ra­tions” at work, a sum­mons to jury duty in the Aiken County Court for the first week of next year and much, much more.

Started up, still up.

A Day At The Beach

Sarah, a wid­owed Jew­ish lady, was sun­bathing on a beach at Boca Raton, Florida. She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up, placed his blan­ket on the sand next to hers and began read­ing a book.

Smil­ing, she attempted to strike up a con­ver­sa­tion with him. “Hello, sir, how are you today?” “Fine, thank you,” he responded, and turned back to his book.

I love the beach. Do you come here often?” she asked. “First time since my wife passed away 2 years ago,” he replied and turned back to his book.

I’m sorry to hear that. My hus­band passed away 3 years ago and it is very lonely. Do you live around here?” she asked. “Yes, I live over in Sun­tree,” he answered, and again resumed reading.

Try­ing to find a topic of com­mon inter­est, Sarah per­sisted. “Do you like pussy­cats?” With that, the man dropped his book, jumped off his blan­ket and on to her, tore off her swim­suit and gave her the most pas­sion­ate ride of her life!

When the cloud of sand began to set­tle, Sarah gasped and asked the man, “How did you know that was what I wanted?” The man replied, “How did you know my name was Katz?”

Leave My Wife’s Alone

A woman is at home when she hears some­one knock at the door. She goes to the door and opens it to see a man stand­ing there. He asks her, “Do you have a vagina?”

She slams the door in disgust.

The next morn­ing she hears a knock at the door, it is the same man and he asks the same ques­tion, “Do you have a vagina?”

She slams the door again.

Later that night when her hus­band gets home she tells him what has hap­pened for the last two days. The hus­band tells the wife in a lov­ing and con­cerned voice, “Honey I am tak­ing tomor­row off to be home just in case this guy shows up again”.

The next morn­ing there is a knock at the door and both run for it. The hus­band says to the wife in a whis­pered voice, “Honey, I’m going to hide behind the door and lis­ten. If it is the same guy, I want you to answer yes to the ques­tion, because I want to see where he is going with it.” She nods yes to her hus­band and opens the door.

Sure enough the same fel­low is stand­ing there and asks the same ques­tion. “Do you have a vagina?”

Yes,” she says.

The man replies, “Good! Would you mind telling your hus­band to leave my wife’s alone and start using yours?”

I’m Betting He Forgives Her For That Too

An elderly cou­ple was hav­ing din­ner one evening when the hus­band reached across the table, took his wife’s hand in his and said, “Martha, soon we will be mar­ried 50 years, and there’s some­thing I have to know. In all of these 50 years have you ever been unfaith­ful to me?”

Martha replied, “Well Henry, I have to be hon­est with you. Yes, I’ve been unfaith­ful to you three times dur­ing these 50 years, but always for a good reason.”

Henry was obvi­ously hurt by his wife’s con­fes­sion, but said, “I never sus­pected. Can you tell me what you mean by ‘good rea­sons?’” Martha said, “The first time was shortly after we were mar­ried, and we were about to lose our lit­tle house because we couldn’t pay the mort­gage. Do you remem­ber that one evening I went to see the banker and the next day he noti­fied you that the loan would be extended?”

Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, “I can for­give you for that. You saved our home, but what about the sec­ond time?” Martha asked, “And do you remem­ber when you were so sick, but we didn’t have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well I went to see your doc­tor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge.”

I recall that,” said Henry. “And you did it to save my life, so I of course I can for­give you for that. Now tell me about the third time.” “Alright”, Martha said. “So do you remem­ber when you ran for pres­i­dent of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?”

Magic Mirror

After liv­ing in the remote wilder­ness of West Vir­ginia all his life, an old hill­billy decided it was time to visit the big city.

In one of the stores he picks up a mir­ror and looks in it. Not ever hav­ing seen one before, he remarked at the image star­ing back at him, “How about that! Here’s a pic­ture of my daddy.”

He bought the mir­ror think­ing it was a pic­ture of his daddy, but on the way home he remem­bered his wife, didn’t like his father. So he hung it in the barn, and every morn­ing before leav­ing for the fields, he would go there and look at it.

His wife began to get sus­pi­cious of these many trips to the barn. One day after her hus­band left, she searched the barn and found the mir­ror. As she looked into the glass, she fumed, “So that’s the ugly bitch he’s run­nin’ around with!”

Philanthropic Lawyer

One after­noon a lawyer was rid­ing in his lim­ou­sine when he saw two men along the road­side eat­ing grass. Dis­turbed, he ordered his dri­ver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, “Why are you eat­ing grass?”

We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied, “We have to eat grass.”

Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.

But sir, I have a wife and two chil­dren with me. They are over there, under that tree.”

Bring them along,” the lawyer replied.

Turn­ing to the other poor man he stated, “You come with us, too.”

The sec­ond man, in a piti­ful voice, then said, “But sir, I also have a wife and SIX chil­dren with me!”

Bring them all, as well,” the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the lim­ou­sine was.

Once under­way, one of the poor fel­lows turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for tak­ing all of us with you.”

The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high.”

Infedelity Uncovered

A man return­ing home a day early from a busi­ness trip got into a taxi at the air­port. It was after mid­night. While en route to his home, he asked the cabby if he would be a wit­ness as he sus­pected his wife was hav­ing an affair and he intended to catch her in the act. For $100, the cabby agreed.

Qui­etly arriv­ing at the house, the hus­band and cabby tip­toed into the bed­room. The hus­band switched on the lights, yanked the blan­ket back and there was his wife in bed with another man.

The hus­band put a gun to the naked man’s head.

The wife shouted, “Don’t do it! This man has been very gen­er­ous! I lied when I told you I inher­ited money. He paid for the new golf clubs I bought you. He paid for the Corvette I bought for you He paid for our new cabin cruiser. He paid for our house at the lake. He paid for our coun­try club mem­ber­ship, and he even pays the monthly dues!”

Shak­ing his head from side-to-side, the hus­band slowly low­ered the gun. He looked over at the cab dri­ver and said, “What would you do?”

The cabby said, “I’d cover him up with that blan­ket before he catches a cold.”

The Koala & The Little Lizard

A koala is sit­ting up a gum tree smok­ing a joint when a lit­tle lizard walks past and looks up and says “Hey Koala! What are you doing?”

The koala says: “Smok­ing a joint, come up and have some.”

So the lit­tle lizard climbs up and sits next to the koala and they have a few tokes.

After a while the lit­tle lizard says his mouth is ‘dry’ and is going to get a drink from the river. The lit­tle lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.

A croc­o­dile sees this, swims over to the lit­tle lizard, helps him to the side and asks the lit­tle lizard, “What’s the mat­ter with you?”

The lit­tle lizard explains to the croc­o­dile that he was sit­ting smok­ing a joint with the koala in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river while tak­ing a drink.

The croc­o­dile says he has to check this out and walks into the rain for­est, finds the tree where the koala is sit­ting fin­ish­ing a joint, and he looks up and says, “Hey Koala!”

So the koala looks down at him and says: “Shi­i­i­i­i­i­i­i­i­iit dude.…..how much water did you drink???”

Lucky Winner

A crusty old man walks into the local First Bap­tist Church and says to the Sec­re­tary,” I would like to join this damn church.”

The aston­ished woman replies, “I beg your par­don, sir. I must have mis­un­der­stood you. What did you say?”

Lis­ten up, damn it. I said I want to join this damn church!”

I’m very sorry sir, but that kind of lan­guage is not tol­er­ated in this Church.”

The sec­re­tary leaves her desk and goes into the pastor’s study to inform him of her sit­u­a­tion. The pas­tor agrees that the sec­re­tary does not have to lis­ten to that foul language.

They both return to her office and the pas­tor asks the old geezer, “Sir, what seems to be the prob­lem here?”

There is no damn prob­lem,” the man says. “I just won $200 mil­lion bucks in the damn lot­tery and I want to join this damn church to get rid of some of this damn money.”

I see,” said the pas­tor, “and is this bitch giv­ing you a hard time?”

Gone Fishing

Four mar­ried guys go fish­ing. After an hour, the fol­low­ing con­ver­sa­tion took place:

First guy: “You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fish­ing this week­end. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend.”

Sec­ond guy: “That is noth­ing, I had to promise my wife that I would build her a new deck for the pool.”

Third guy: “Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her.”

They con­tinue to fish. When they real­ized that the fourth guy has not said a word, they asked him. “You haven’t said any­thing about what you had to do to be able to come fish­ing this week­end. What’s the deal?”

Fourth guy: “I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave the wife a slap on her butt and said, “Fish­ing or Sex?” and she said, “Wear sun-block.”

PT Truckster

Marine Blue PearlFor the sec­ond time in 7 weeks I’m dri­ving a PT Cruiser. The Emperor is sleep­ing over at Wray’s place in advance of hav­ing it’s 60K mile check-up by the royal physi­cian tomor­row. There was a coupon on the dealer’s web site that offered a free rental on any major ser­vice or tim­ing belt change. They have an agree­ment with Enter­prise and after a 20 minute wait we were whisked away to their offices to fill out the paper­work. Five min­utes after that Donna and I were dri­ving away in a Marine Blue Pearl Tour­ing model. It had a whop­ping 248 miles on the clock and there was still plas­tic pro­tec­tive wrap­ping on the front car­pet and lower doors.

I can now say with author­ity that these vehi­cles are trucks in cute cloth­ing, it rides rougher than my tightly sprung sports car and if the steer­ing wheel was 30 degrees more hor­i­zon­tal I would feel like Ed Nor­ton. After a cou­ple of under­steered curves I had to chant to myself, “Not a Miata. Not a Miata.” to pre­vent vis­it­ing the wrong side of the yel­low line on the sharper right turns.

On the way home we stopped at Fudrucker’s for din­ner. I had a 1/2 lb burger, onion rings and washed it down with iced tea. Donna opted for the fish sand­wich with water to drink.

The Romantic…

One night, after a cou­ple had retired for the night, the woman became aware that her hus­band was touch­ing her in a most unusual manner.

He started by run­ning his hand across her shoul­ders and the small of her back. He ran his hand over her breasts, touch­ing them very lightly. Then, he pro­ceeded to run his hand gen­tly down her side, slid­ing his hand over her stom­ach, and then down the other side to a point below her waist.

He con­tin­ued on, gen­tly feel­ing her hips, first one side and the other. His hand ran fur­ther down the out­side of her thighs. His gen­tle prob­ing then started up the inside of her left thigh, stopped and the returned to do the same to her right thigh.

By this time the woman was becom­ing aroused and she squirmed a lit­tle to bet­ter posi­tion her­self. The man stopped abruptly and rolled over to his side of the bed.

Why are you stop­ping dar­ling?” she whispered.

He whis­pered back, “I found the remote.”

Genie In A Tackle Box

Bubba & Skeeter were fish­ing one day when Bubba pulled out a cigar. Find­ing he had no matches, he asked Skeeter for a light.

Shure, I got a lighter,” he replied. Then reach­ing into his tackle box, he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.

Jiminy Cricket!” exclaimed Bubba, tak­ing the huge Bic lighter in his hands. “Where did you git dat monster??”

Well,” replied Skeeter, “I got it from my Genie.”

You gots a genie in dat tackle box?” Bubba asked.

Yep, I shure got one. It’s right here in my tackle box,” says Skeeter.

Could I see him?”

So Skeeter opens his tackle box and sure enough, out pops the genie.

Address­ing the genie, Bubba says, “Hey dere! I’m a good friend of your Mas­ter, will you grant me one wish?”

Yes, I will,” says the genie.

So Bubba asks the genie for a mil­lion bucks. The genie dis­ap­pears back into the tackle box leav­ing Bubba sit­ting there, wait­ing for his mil­lion bucks. Shortly, the sky dark­ens and is soon filled with the sound of a mil­lion ducks … fly­ing overhead.

Over the roar of the mil­lion ducks Bubba yells at Skeeter.

Jumpin’ Jiminy Crick­ets! I axed for a mil­lion bucks, not a mil­lion ducks!”

Skeeter answers, “Yup, I for­got to tell you dat genie is hard of hear­ing. Do you really think I axed for a 10-inch Bic?”

Better Health Plan

A wealthy hos­pi­tal bene­fac­tor was being shown around the hos­pi­tal. Dur­ing her tour she passed a room where a male patient was mas­tur­bat­ing furiously.

Oh my GOD!” exclaimed the woman. “That’s dis­grace­ful! Why is he doing that?”

The doc­tor who was lead­ing the tour calmly explained, “I’m very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a seri­ous con­di­tion where his tes­ti­cles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn’t do that at least five times a day, he’ll be in extreme pain and his tes­ti­cles could eas­ily rupture.”

Oh, well in that case, I guess it’s okay,” said the woman.

As they passed by the very next room, they saw a male patient lay­ing in bed while a nurse per­formed oral sex on him. Again, the woman screamed, “Oh my GOD! How can THAT be justified?

Again the doc­tor spoke very calmly, “Same ill­ness, bet­ter health plan.”

First Dance

A wed­ding took place just out­side St. John’s, New­found­land. In keep­ing with tra­di­tion, every­one got extremely drunk and the bride’s and groom’s fam­i­lies had a storm­ing row. They began wreck­ing the recep­tion room and gen­er­ally kick­ing the liv­ing day­lights out of each other.

The police got called in to break up the fight and the fol­low­ing week, all mem­bers of both fam­i­lies appeared in St. John’s court. The fight con­tin­ued in the court­room until the Judge finally brought calm with the use of his gavel, shout­ing, “Silence in the Court!”.

The court­room goes silent and Paddy, the Best Man, stood up and says, “Your Hon­our, I was the Best Man at the wed­ding and I think I should explain what happened”.

The Judge agrees and asks Paddy to take the stand.

Paddy began his expla­na­tion by telling the court that it is tra­di­tion at a St. John’s wed­ding that the Best Man gets the first dance with the bride.

The judge says, “Okay. Continue.”

Well, said Paddy, “after I had fin­ished the first dance, the music kept going, so I danced to the sec­ond song, and after that the music kept going and I was danc­ing to the third song when all of a sud­den — the groom leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the bride an unmer­ci­ful kick right between her legs.”

Shocked, the judge instantly responded, “Lord Jesus that must have hurt!”

HURT?” Paddy replies, “HE BROKE THREE OF MY FINGERS !!!!!!”

Max and Ralph

Two very elderly friends, Max and Ralph met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squir­rels and dis­cuss world prob­lems. One day Ralph didn’t show up. Max didn’t think much about it, fig­ur­ing maybe he had a cold or something.

But after Ralph hadn’t shown up for a week or so, Max really got wor­ried. How­ever, the only time they ever got together any­more was at the park, and Max could not remem­ber where Ralph lived so he was unable to find out what had hap­pened to him.

A month passed and Max fig­ured old Ralph had gone to his heav­enly reward. But one day Max went to the park and, lo and behold, there sat Ralph. Max was very excited and happy to see him and told him so. Then he said, “For cry­ing out loud Ralph, what hap­pened to you???”

Ralph replied, “I have been in jail.”

Jail???,” cried max! “What in the world for???”

Well,” Ralph said, “you know Sue, that cute lit­tle blonde wait­ress at the cof­fee shop where we get cof­fee sometimes?”

Yeah,” said Max, “I remem­ber her. What about her?”

Well, one day last month she got mad at me and to get even, she charged me with rape. I was so proud of what every­one would think an old fart like me could still do, that when I got into court, I pled ‘guilty’.”

The judge then took a good look at me and gave me 30 days for perjury.”

It’s All In How You Ask

Got noth­ing to say tonight, so in lieu of actual con­tent here is an oldie, but goodie (rel­a­tively speak­ing), that Mark for­warded to me today.

George Phillips of Merid­ian, Mis­sis­sippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the gar­den shed, which she could see from the bed­room window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were peo­ple in the shed steal­ing things.

He phoned the police, who asked “Is some­one in your house?” and he said “no”. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should sim­ply lock his door and an offi­cer would be along when available.

George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

Hello, I just called you a few sec­onds ago because there were peo­ple in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now cause I’ve just shot them all.” Then he hung up.

Within five min­utes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambu­lance showed up at the Phillips ’ res­i­dence and caught the bur­glars red-handed.

One of the Police­men said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

Old Old Joke

A cou­ple in their nineties are both hav­ing prob­lems remem­ber­ing things. They decide to go to the doc­tor for a checkup. The doc­tor tells them that they’re phys­i­cally okay, but they might want to start writ­ing things down to help them remember.

Later that night, while watch­ing TV, the old man gets up from his chair.

His wife asks, “Where are you going?”

To the kitchen” he replies.

Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?”

Sure.”

Don’t you think you should write it down so you can remem­ber it?” she asks.

No, I can remem­ber it.”

Well, I’d like some straw­ber­ries on top, too. You’d bet­ter write it down because you know you’ll for­get it.”

He says, “I can remem­ber that! You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.”

I’d also like whipped cream. I’m cer­tain you’ll for­get that, so you’d bet­ter write it down!” she retorts.

Irri­tated, he says, “I don’t need to write it down, I can remem­ber it! Leave me alone! Ice cream with straw­ber­ries and whipped cream — I got it, for good­ness sake!” Then he shuf­fled into the kitchen, grum­bling all the way.

After about 20 min­utes the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.

She stares at the plate for a moment and says — “Where’s my toast?

Cha… Cha… Changes

Some­times I post jokes here that could be con­sid­ered raunchy or of an R-Rated nature (like yesterday’s.) Because my wife, fam­ily, friends and pos­si­bly some impres­sion­able youths read this blog, those kinds of jokes may not be appro­pri­ate for front page view­ing. I will still post jokes, even those in ques­tion­able taste, but they will not show up on the main page. You will still be able to access them via the jokes link in the cat­e­gory list­ing. So you will know I’ve added some­thing new, I’ll put a heads up in the daily post somehow.

Also new today is an “Eat­ing Out” cat­e­gory. It will be for keep­ing track of how many times we dine out. In each post I’m going to tell you where, what and how much. As an added bonus, I’m going to keep a run­ning total of how much we spend., kinda like the Top Tran­si­tion thing.

Home Depot Scam

A “heads up” for those of you who may be reg­u­lar Home Depot cus­tomers. Over the last month or so I became a vic­tim of a clever scam while out shop­ping. Sim­ply going out to get sup­plies has turned out to be quite trau­matic. Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t hap­pen to you!

Here’s how the scam works:
Two seri­ously good-looking 20–21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are pack­ing your shop­ping into the trunk. They both start wip­ing your wind­shield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impos­si­ble not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say “No” and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start hav­ing sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and per­forms oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I’ve had my wal­let stolen Decem­ber 2nd, 9th, 10th, twice on the 29th, three times just yes­ter­day, and very likely again this upcom­ing week­end. So be careful.

Florida Trip Photos

I took about 114 pho­tos on our trip to Florida and back, but most of them are dreck. The ones I took inside the aquar­ium came out blurry or dark. Because a flash would just reflect back off the glass I turned it off, so in the hand held shots (I stead­ied the cam­era against some­thing) the fish appear as blurs because the lit­tle bug­gers won’t sit still. I took a few at the rail­road round­house museum, but the light was wrong or the cau­tion tape keep­ing you out of cer­tain places was promi­nent in the frame… I think if I have ten worth post­ing in a gallery I’d be lucky, so I prob­a­bly won’t bother.

Donna had a list of state parks that we were going to use as breaks by vis­it­ing on the trip down, but the weather was so cloudy, cold and windy that when we did ven­ture out of the car, it was not for very long. On the way back the weather was a lit­tle nicer, so we did take a walk around a park in north­ern Florida. The most inter­est­ing photo from that was this tree that had a whole flock of wood­peck­ers on it:

Folding Bucket

I went to the Patent Office try­ing to reg­is­ter some of my inventions.

I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my per­sonal info and then asked me what I had invented.

I said, “A fold­ing bottle.”

She said, “Okay, what do you call it?”

A Fot­tle.”

What else do you have?”

A fold­ing car­ton.” “What do you call it?”

A Far­ton.”

She snig­gered and said, “Those are silly names for prod­ucts and one of them sounds kind of crude.”

I was so upset by her com­ment that I grabbed the form and left the office with­out even telling her about my fold­ing bucket.

I’m Glad I Brought Him In

A woman and a baby were in the doctor’s exam­in­ing room, wait­ing for the doc­tor to come in for the baby’s first exam.

The doc­tor arrived, and exam­ined the baby, checked his weight, and being a lit­tle con­cerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed?

Breast-fed,“she replied.

Well, strip down to your waist,” the doc­tor ordered.

She did. He pinched her nip­ples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very pro­fes­sional and detailed examination.

Motion­ing to her to get dressed The doc­tor said, “No won­der this baby is under­weight. You don’t have any milk.”

I know,” she said, “I’m his Grandma, but I’m glad I brought him in.”

Northwest Photos

I took 124 pho­tos on our trip to Wash­ing­ton and Ore­gon and I weeded them down to 44 for post­ing in a new web gallery for your view­ing plea­sure here (and always avail­able from the “North­west Trip 2006″ link on the side­bar.) I’ve got titles on them, but it will take a while for me to add some captioning.

I really had a hard time weed­ing out the big rock pho­tos, I’m sure some will think I left in too many, but they were just so alien and curi­ous look­ing to me that I couldn’t help myself. On Mon­day in Ore­gon we went for a 1–1/4 each way hike in Ecola State Park and I only man­aged a few pic­tures before the cam­era bat­tery died. I did get one really inter­est­ing photo of a giant wood­pecker:

Shopping At Home Depot

Two guys, one old and one young, are push­ing their carts around Home Depot when they collide.

The old guy says to the young guy, “Sorry about that. I’m look­ing for my wife, and I guess I wasn’t pay­ing atten­tion to where I was going.”

The young guy says, “That’s OK. What a coin­ci­dence, I’m look­ing for my wife too. I can’t find her and I’m get­ting a lit­tle desperate.”

The old guy says, “Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?

The young guy says, “Well, she is 27 yrs old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she’s wear­ing tight white shorts. What does your wife look like?”

The old guy says, “Doesn’t mat­ter — let’s look for yours.“

The Purina Diet

A friend of mine has a huge dog that eats a lot and last night we went to the store to buy his weekly jumbo bag of dog food. We were in line to check out and a woman behind him asked if he had a dog.

He told her that no, he was start­ing The Purina Diet again although he prob­a­bly shouldn’t — he said he had ended up in the hos­pi­tal last time, but that he’d lost 50 pounds before he awak­ened in inten­sive care with tubes com­ing out of most of his ori­fices and IVs in both arms.

He told her that it was essen­tially a per­fect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pock­ets with Purina nuggets and sim­ply eat one or two every time you feel hun­gry. He said that the food is nutri­tion­ally com­plete so he was going to try it again.

Hor­ri­fied, she asked why he ended up in the hos­pi­tal — had the Purina made him sick? He told her no; he’d been sit­ting in the mid­dle of the street lick­ing his balls and a car hit him.

It’s a key!

Jack Spar­row: No! Much more bet­ter. It is a draw­ing of a key. Gen­tle­men, what do keys do?
Marty: Keys… unlock… things?
Gibbs: And what­ever this key unlocks, inside there’s some­thing valu­able. So, we’re set­ting out to find what­ever this key unlocks.
Jack Spar­row: No! If we don’t have the key, we can’t open what­ever it is we don’t have that it unlocks. So what pur­pose would be served in find­ing what­ever need be unlocked, which we don’t have, with­out first hav­ing found the key what unlocks it?
Gibbs: So… we’re going after this key?
Jack Spar­row: You’re not mak­ing any sense at all.

Dirty Joke Friday

A lit­tle boy walks into his par­ents’ room to see his mom on top of his dad bounc­ing up and down.

The mom quickly dis­mounts, wor­ried about what her son has seen, dresses quickly and goes to find him. The son sees his mom and asks, “What were you and dad doing?”

The mother replies, “Well, your dad has a big tummy and some­times I have to get on top of it to help flat­ten it.”

You’re wast­ing your time.” says the boy.

Why is that?” asked his mom, puzzled?

Well when you go shop­ping the lady next door comes over and gets on her knees and blows it right back up!”

It Sounds Like Shit & It Doesn’t Do A Damn Bit Of Good

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bed­room. “You know what?” says the 6 year old. “I think it’s about time we started cussing.” The 4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old con­tin­ues, “When we go down­stairs for break­fast, I’m gonna say some­thing with hell and you say some­thing with ass.” The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.

When their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he wants for break­fast, he replies, “Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I’ll have some Chee­rios.” WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tum­bles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs cry­ing his eyes out, with his mother in hot pur­suit, slap­ping his rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shouts, “You can just stay there until I let you out!”

She then comes backs down­stairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, “And what do YOU want for break­fast, young man?” “I don’t know,” he blub­bers, “but you can bet your fat ass it won’t be Cheerios.”

The Rat

A tourist walks into a curio shop in San Fran­cisco. Look­ing around at every­thing, he notices a very life­like life-sized bronze statue of a rat.

It has no price tag, but is so strik­ing that he decides he must have it.

He takes it to the owner and asks, “How much for the bronze rat?”

The owner replies, “$12 for the rat and $100 for the story”.

The tourist gives the man $12 and says, “I’ll just take the rat, you can keep the story.”

As he walks down the street car­ry­ing his bronze rat, he notices that a few real rats have crawled out of the alleys and sew­ers and begun fol­low­ing him down the street.

This is dis­con­cert­ing, and he begins walk­ing faster. But within a cou­ple of blocks, the herd of rats behind him has grown to hun­dreds, and they begin squeal­ing. He begins to trot toward the Bay, look­ing around to see that the rats now num­ber in the MILLIONS, and are squeal­ing and com­ing toward him faster and faster.

Con­cerned, even scared, he runs to the edge of the Bay, and throws the bronze rat as far out into the water as he can. Amaz­ingly, the mil­lions of rats all jump into the Bay after it and are all drowned.

The man walks back to the curio shop.

Ah ha,” says the owner, “you have come back for the story?”

No,” says the man, “I came back to see if you have a bronze [insert cur­rent vil­lain­ous group here].”

Cinco de Mayo

Most peo­ple don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s may­on­naise was man­u­fac­tured in Eng­land. In fact, the Titanic was car­ry­ing 12,000 jars of the condi­ment sched­uled for deliv­ery in Vera Cruz, Mex­ico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest sin­gle ship­ment of may­on­naise ever deliv­ered to Mex­ico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an ice­berg and sank, and the cargo was for­ever lost.

The peo­ple of Mex­ico, who were crazy about may­on­naise, and were eagerly await­ing its deliv­ery, were dis­con­so­late at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourn­ing, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourn­ing occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

They’ll Be Ready Tomorrow

Arnold and his wife were clean­ing out the attic one day when he came across a ticket from the local shoe repair shop. The date stamped on the ticket showed that it was over eleven years old. They both laughed and tried to remem­ber which of them might have for­got­ten to pick up a pair of shoes over a decade ago.

Do you think the shoes will still be in the shop?” Arnold asked.

Not very likely,” his wife said.

It’s worth a try,” Arnold said, pock­et­ing the ticket. He went down­stairs, hopped into the car, and drove to the store.

With a straight face, he handed the ticket to the man behind the counter. The man said, “Just a minute. I’ll have to look for these.” He dis­ap­peared into the back of the shop.

Two min­utes later, the man called out, “Here they are!”

No kid­ding?” Arnold called back. “That’s terrific!”

The man came back to the counter, empty-handed and said, “They’ll be ready tomorrow.”

Quickie

The only way to pull off a Sun­day after­noon quickie with their 8 year old son in the apart­ment was to send him out on the bal­cony with a Pop­si­cle and tell him to report on all the neigh­bor­hood activ­i­ties. He began his com­men­tary as his par­ents put their plan into operation:

There’s a car being towed from the park­ing lot”, he shouted.

A few moments passed … “An ambu­lance just drove by”

A few moments later, “Looks like the Ander­son ‘s have com­pany”, he called out.

Matt’s rid­ing a new bike.….”

A few moments later, “Looks like the Sanders are moving”

Jason is on his skate board.…”

A few more moments, “The Coop­ers are hav­ing sex !!”

Star­tled, his Mother and Dad shot up in bed! Dad cau­tiously called out, “How do you know they are hav­ing sex?”

Jimmy Cooper is stand­ing on his bal­cony with a Pop­si­cle too.”

You Can’t Say Suck Anymore

The admin­is­tra­tion of this par­tic­u­lar ele­men­tary school decided to start a more inclu­sive pol­icy on which words were “bad” words. Among those ini­ti­ated to the cat­e­gory was “suck” (when not refer­ring to the prin­ci­ple of suction).

One day a child came up to the teacher to inform her that one of the other stu­dents had said a bad word.

What was the bad word he said?” asked the teacher.

I can’t say it.”

It’s ok to tell me, you won’t get in trou­ble for it.”

No, it’s too bad, I don’t want to say it”

Well I have to know what he said in order to pun­ish him. Can you tell me what it is with­out say­ing it?”

Well… it rhymes with ‘fuck’”

Catholic Parrots

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, “Father, I have a prob­lem. I have two female par­rots, but they only know how to say one thing.”

What do they say?” the priest inquired.

They say,“Hi, we’re hook­ers! Do you want to have some fun?”

That’s obscene!” the priest exclaimed. Then he thought for a moment. “You know,” he said, “I may have a solu­tion to your prob­lem. I have two male talk­ing par­rots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two par­rots over to my house, and we’ll put them in the cage with Frank and Jacob. My par­rots can teach your par­rots to pray and wor­ship, and your par­rots are sure to stop say­ing that phrase in no time.”

Thank you,” the woman responded, “this may very well be the solution.”

The next day, she brings her female par­rots to the priest’s house. As he ush­ers her in, she sees that his two male par­rots are inside their cage, hold­ing rosary beads and pray­ing. Impressed, she walks over and places her par­rots in with them.

After a few min­utes, the female par­rots cry out in uni­son: “Hi, we’re hook­ers! Do you want to have some fun?”

Stunned silence, from both the humans and par­rots. Quickly the moment passes and one male par­rot looks over at the other male par­rot and exclaims, “Put the beads away Frank, our prayers have been answered.”

Come On, Let It Out

Sorry about the low impact post­ing around here recently. I have some­thing to write about, but I can’t seem to get started. At first I was wait­ing for a cer­tain point for, maybe not clo­sure, but a nat­ural break. That tar­get keeps shift­ing though. Even­tu­ally I’ll get it here, promise, so until then expect more lame jokes that I get in my email or gripes about the less than expected weather.

Blue Suit

A woman went to the under­tak­ers to have one last look at her dearly departed hus­band. The instant she saw him she starts cry­ing. One of the under­tak­ers strides up to pro­vide com­fort in this somber moment.

Through her tears she explains that she is upset because her dear­est Albert was wear­ing a black suit, and it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue suit. The under­taker apol­o­gizes and explains that, tra­di­tion­ally, they always put the bod­ies in a black suit, but he’d see what he could arrange.

The next day she returned to the under­tak­ers to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral the fol­low­ing day. When the under­taker pulls back the cur­tain, she man­ages to smile through her tears as Albert is resplen­dent in a smart blue suit.

She says to the under­taker, “Won­der­ful, but where did you get that beau­ti­ful blue suit?”

Well, yes­ter­day after­noon after you left, a man about your husband’s size was brought in & he was wear­ing a blue suit. His wife explained that she was very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit,” the under­taker replied.

The wife smiled at the man.

He con­tin­ued, “After that, it was sim­ply a mat­ter of swap­ping the heads.”

Amen

There was a Preacher whose wife was expect­ing a baby, so he went before the con­gre­ga­tions and asked for a raise. After much dis­cus­sion, they passed a rule that when­ever the Preacher’s fam­ily expanded, so would his pay­check. After 6 chil­dren, this started to get expen­sive and the Con­gre­ga­tion decided to hold another meet­ing to dis­cuss the Preacher’s salary. There was much yelling and bick­er­ing about how much the clergyman’s addi­tional chil­dren were cost­ing the church. Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, “Chil­dren are a gift from God” he said. Silence fell on the congregation.

In the back pew, a lit­tle old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, “Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers.”

And the con­gre­ga­tion said, “Amen”.

Do You Think I’ll Live To Be 80?

I recently picked a new pri­mary care physi­cian. After two vis­its and exhaus­tive lab tests, he said I was doing “fairly well” for my age.

A lit­tle con­cerned about that com­ment, I couldn’t resist ask­ing him, “Do you think I’ll live to be 80?”

He asked, “Do you smoke tobacco or drink alco­holic beverages?”

Oh no,” I replied. “I’m not doing drugs, either.”

Then he asked, “Do you eat rib-eye steaks and bar­be­cued ribs?”

I said, “No, my other doc­tor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!”

Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like play­ing golf, sail­ing, hik­ing, or bicycling?”

No, I don’t,” I said.

He asked, “Do you gam­ble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?”

No,” I said. “I don’t do any of those things.”

He looked at me and said, “Then why do you give a shit?”

Should Have Forwarded One Home

Got a cou­ple of lame jokes via email at work and I should have for­warded at least one them home, so I’d have some­thing to post here.…

Pay Your Bills

A long time ago in a far away land lived Nicholas the Dragon Slayer who was a mem­ber of the King’s court. He had a long-standing obses­sion to nuz­zle the beau­ti­ful Queen’s volup­tuous breasts, but he knew the penalty for this would be death.

One day he revealed his secret desire to his col­league, Grym­bald the Physi­cian, who was the King’s chief doc­tor. Grym­bald the Physi­cian exclaimed that he could arrange for Nicholas the Dragon Slayer to sat­isfy his desire, but it would cost him 1,000 gold coins to arrange it.

With­out pause, Nicholas the Dragon Slayer read­ily agreed to have Grym­bald the Physi­cian arrange it and that he would gladly pay the 1,000 gold coins for the chance to sat­isfy his desires for the Queen.

The next day, Grym­bald the Physi­cian made a batch of itch­ing pow­der and poured a lit­tle bit into the Queen’s brassiere while she was tak­ing a bath. Soon after she dressed, the itch­ing com­menced and grew intense.

Upon being sum­moned to the Royal Cham­bers to address this inci­dent, Grym­bald the Physi­cian informed the King and Queen that only a spe­cial saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nicholas the Dragon Slayer had present the anti­dote to cure the itch. The King quickly sum­moned Nicholas the Dragon Slayer.

Grym­bald the Physi­cian then slipped Nicholas the Dragon Slayer the anti­dote for the itch­ing pow­der, which he quickly put it into his mouth, and for the next four hours, worked pas­sion­ately on the Queen’s mag­nif­i­cent breasts. The Queen’s itch­ing was even­tu­ally relieved, and Nicholas the Dragon Slayer left sat­is­fied and as a hero.

Upon return­ing to his cham­ber, Nicholas the Dragon Slayer found Grym­bald the Physi­cian demand­ing his pay­ment of 1,000 gold coins. With his obses­sion now sat­is­fied, Nicholas the Dragon Slayer couldn’t have cared less, and know­ing that Grym­bald the Physi­cian could never report this mat­ter to the King — shooed him away with no pay­ment made.

The next day, Grym­bald the Physi­cian slipped a mas­sive dose of the same itch­ing pow­der into The King’s loin­cloth. The King quickly sum­moned Nicholas the Dragon Slayer…

Santa Must Have Copped a Plea

Or he had a very good lawyer because my lap­top was deliv­ered on Fri­day morn­ing. I had it deliv­ered to work because a sig­na­ture was required and chances were no mat­ter when it arrived I would not be home to sign for it. The plant was tech­ni­cally closed on Fri­day, but when that hap­pens the Secu­rity Offi­cer does the signing.

This morn­ing after we had some muffins from the New Moon Cafe in down­town we drove out to the plant to pick up the packages.

First thing I did when I got it home was spend about 2 hours delet­ing all the extra crap that Dell tosses on the hard drive. Knocked the sys­tem tray icon tally from a dozen down to 4. It came with a built in wire­less 802.11 b/g card. I guess my next pur­chase will be a wire­less router so I can surf the web on the screened porch in the spring. It also had built in NIC so hook­ing up to a high speed con­nec­tion in a hotel should be a snap. Should.

When Donna’s fam­ily was here over Thanks­giv­ing one of her broth­ers brought his lap­top, so he could check email, etc. When he plugged in the cat5 cable from my cable modem to his lap­top he couldn’t get con­nected. I couldn’t fig­ure out why it wouldn’t work. He spent 3 hours try­ing all sorts of shenani­gans and couldn’t make it con­nect. After a 2 hour din­ner break he went back at it, while the rest of us watched “A Christ­mas Story” in the liv­ing room, after about another hour or so he man­aged to get it hooked up. I snick­ered to myself, think­ing it couldn’t have been that hard, because he is some sort of com­puter geek in his own right. Well the jokes on me. Plugged the cable into my new lap­top this after­noon and I can’t get it to con­nect either.

Checked all the obvi­ous set­tings and can’t for the life of me see what is wrong. Guess I’m going to have to email my brother-in-law and see if he remem­bers what he did to get it to work…

Here’s Hoping You Have a Healthy Winter!

Miss Beat­rice, the church organ­ist, was in her eight­ies and had never been mar­ried. She was much admired for her sweet­ness and kind­ness to all.

One after­noon the pas­tor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sit­ting room. She invited him to have a seat while she pre­pared tea.

As he sat fac­ing her old pump organ, the young min­is­ter noticed a cut-glass bowl sit­ting on top of it, filled with water. In the water floated, of all things, a condom!

When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pas­tor tried to sti­fle his curios­ity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the bet­ter of him and he could no longer resist.

Miss Beat­rice,” he said point­ing to the bowl, “I won­der if you would tell me about this?”

Oh, yes,” she replied, “isn’t it won­der­ful? I was walk­ing through the park a few months ago and I found this lit­tle pack­age on the ground.

The direc­tions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet, and it would pre­vent the spread of dis­ease. And you know, I haven’t had a cold all winter.”

Circle Flies

A cow­boy in Texas got pulled over by a State Trooper for speeding.

The trooper started to lec­ture the cow­boy about his speed­ing, and in gen­eral began to throw his weight around to try to make the cow­boy feel uncomfortable.

Finally, the trooper got around to writ­ing out the ticket.

As he was doing that, he kept swat­ting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.

The cow­boy said, “Hav­ing some prob­lem with Cir­cle flies there, are ya?”

The trooper stopped writ­ing the ticket and said, “Well yeah, if that’s what they are. I never heard of Cir­cle flies.”

So the cow­boy says, “Well, Cir­cle flies are com­mon on ranches. See, they’re called Cir­cle flies because they’re almost always found cir­cling around the back end of a horse.”

The trooper says, “Oh,” and goes back to writ­ing the ticket. Then after a minute, he stops and says, “Are you try­ing to call me a horse’s ass?”

The cow­boy says, “Oh no, offi­cer. I have too much respect for law enforce­ment and police offi­cers to even think about call­ing you a horse’s ass.”

The trooper says, “Well that’s a good thing,” and goes back to writ­ing the ticket.

After a long pause, the cow­boy says, “Hard to fool them flies though.”

Spreading The News

An elderly man entered into a con­fes­sional booth:

Man: “I am 82 years old, and have a won­der­ful wife of 60 years; many chil­dren; grand­chil­dren; and even a cou­ple of great grandchildren.

Yes­ter­day, I picked up two col­lege girls, hitch­hik­ing. For some rea­son, they thought I was kind of inter­est­ing. One thing led to another, and we ended up at a motel where I had sex with each of them twice.”

Priest: “Are you sorry for your sins?”

Man: “What sins?”

Priest: “What kind of a catholic are you?”

Man: “I’m Presbyterian.”

Priest: “Why are you telling me all this?”

Man: “I’m telling every­body!

Up in Sin Jahn’s

A Scots­man, an Eng­lish­man and a New­found­lan­der were sit­ting in a bar in Toronto. The view was fan­tas­tic, the beer excel­lent, and the food exceptional.

As good as this is,” said the Scots­man, “I still pre­fer the pubs back home. In Glas­gow, there’s a wee place called McTavish’s. The land­lord goes out of his way for the locals. When you buy four drinks, he will buy the fifth drink for you.”

Well, Angus,” said the Eng­lish­man, “At my local in Lon­don, the Red Lion, the bar­man will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two.”

Ahhh, dat’s nothin’,” said the New­fie. “Back home in Sin Jahn’s there’s the Cod­fish Bar. The moment you set foot in the place, they’ll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like, actu­ally. Then, when you’ve had enough drinks, they’ll take you upstairs and see dat you get laid, all on the house!”

The Eng­lish­man and Scots­man imme­di­ately shout down the Newfie’s claims, but he swears every word is true. “Well,” said the Eng­lish­man, still sus­pi­cious. “Did this actu­ally hap­pen to you?”

Not me meself, per­son­ally, no,” admit­ted the Newf. “But it did hap­pen to me sis­ter quite a few times.”

Ruin Sorbees

I received this joke at work via email and it had the fol­low­ing pref­ace: This has been nom­i­nated for best email of 2005. The fol­low­ing is a tele­phone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and pub­lished in the Far East Eco­nomic Review.

The bit about “best email of 2005″ got me think­ing, sounded to chain let­ter­ish to me. Enter “Ruin sor­bees” in Google and got 1,320 hits, all refer­ring to this joke. Some post­ings were dated in 1999 and one even men­tions this mak­ing the rounds in 1997… The joke is pretty much word for word (if that is what you could call them), but the lead-ins dif­fer slightly. Each one ref­er­ences it being pub­lished in the Far East­ern Eco­nomic Review, but search there for the same term gives zero results. A check of my usual myth-busting sites has no men­tion of this at all. I sus­pect it may be even older than that because it seems a lit­tle too unpo­lit­i­cally cor­rect even for 1997. Any­way here you go…

(To get the full effect, this should be read aloud.)
Room Ser­vice (RS): Morny. Ruin sor­bees.

Kenny The Rooster

A farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster that he would sell.

The other farmer says, “Yep, I’ve got this great rooster, named Kenny. He’ll ser­vice every chicken you got, no problem.”

Well, Kenny the rooster costs $3,000, a lot of money, but the farmer decides he’d be worth it. So, he buys Kenny.

The farmer takes Kenny home and sets him down in the barn­yard, but first he gave the rooster a pep talk. “I want you to pace your­self now. You’ve got a lot of chick­ens to ser­vice here, and you cost me a lot of money.

Con­se­quently, I’ll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun,” the farmer said, with a chuckle.

Kenny seems to under­stand, so the farmer points toward the hen house and Kenny takes off like a shot.

WHAM! Kenny nails every hen in the hen house — three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked.

After that, the farmer hears a com­mo­tion in the duck pen and, sure enough, Kenny is in there.

Later, the farmer sees Kenny after a flock of geese down by the lake. Once again — WHAM! He gets all the geese. By sun­set he sees Kenny out in the fields chas­ing quail and pheasants.

The farmer is dis­traught and wor­ried that his expen­sive rooster won’t even last 24 hours.

Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next morn­ing to find Kenny on his back out in the mid­dle of the yard, mouth open, tongue hang­ing out and both feet stick­ing straight up in the air. Buz­zards are cir­cling overhead.

The farmer, sad­dened by the loss of such a col­or­ful and expen­sive ani­mal, shakes his head and says, “Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace your­self. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you’ve done to yourself.”

Kenny opens one eye, nods toward the buz­zards cir­cling in the sky and says, “Shhhh .. they’re get­ting closer.”

Jamaican Holiday

This mar­ried cou­ple was on hol­i­day in Jamaica. They were tour­ing around the mar­ket­place look­ing at the goods and such, when they passed this small san­dal shop. From inside they heard the shop­keeper with a Jamaican accent say, “You for­eign­ers! Come in. Come into my hum­ble shop.” So the mar­ried cou­ple walked in. The Jamaican said to them, “I have some spe­cial san­dals I think you would be inter­ested in. Dey make you wild at sex.”

Well, the wife was really inter­ested in buy­ing the san­dals after what the man claimed, but her hus­band felt he really didn’t need them, being the sex god he was. The hus­band asked the man, “How could san­dals make you into a sex freak?”

The Jamaican replied, “Just try dem on, Man.” Well, the hus­band, after some bad­ger­ing from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on.

As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, some­thing his wife hadn’t seen in many years!!

In the blink of an eye, the hus­band grabbed the Jamaican, bent him vio­lently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants, and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican’s hips.

Mars Attacks!

My boss at work is for­ever for­ward­ing emails to the group.He is an inter­net new­bie, so most of the stuff is recy­cled chain stuff. But I don’t tell him to stop because some­times the jokes or pic­tures of scant­ily clad women brighten up my day. Plus I also get a chance to debunk them to the group by using a cou­ple of the hoax/urban leg­end sites I keep bookmarked.

Today I got one that shouted at me in var­i­ous col­ors and fonts that Mars will be pass­ing the clos­est ever to Earth this August. Be sure and tell your kids and grand­kids because it won’t get this close for another thou­sand years. Well, I remem­ber that this actu­ally hap­pened 2 years ago, so I replied all ask­ing where did I sign up for the time travel trip and link­ing to a page describ­ing that this was an event that occurred in 2003.

After I sent that back, I start­ing read­ing the whole email and near the bot­tom was two pic­tures, one of the Moon and one of Mars about the same size. Under­neath were words to the effect, “Start­ing at the begin­ning of the month you will be to watch Mars grow in the sky until it is the same size as the Moon to the naked eye, so enjoy the show.”

A lit­tle more research and I just had to sent out another email to the group address­ing this state­ment. Mars is roughly twice the diam­e­ter of the Moon, 6878km vs. 3476km. For them to appear the same size to the naked eye Mars would have to be roughly twice as far from Earth as the Moon. The Moon is 368,500km from Earth, so dou­bling that (let’s round up a bit) gives us 800,000km. Lets switch to some­thing we can grasp and con­vert the 800,000km to 500,000 miles. Mars would have to be 1/2 mil­lion miles away to appear the same size in the sky as the moon to the naked eye. Now 1/2 mil­lion miles sounds pretty far away, but at Mar’s clos­est approach to Earth two years ago, it was 35 mil­lion miles away. If the red planet finds a way to get that close to us, some­thing is seri­ously wrong with our solar sys­tem. Nobody will be enjoy­ing the show, they will be prepar­ing to die.

Actu­ally this Octo­ber there will be another close approach. Mars will be a mere 43 mil­lion miles away and it will appear in the sky to be the size of a quar­ter viewed from an 1/8 of a mile away.

Any Plan­e­tary Physi­cists out there feel free to chime and let me know how far off my cal­cu­la­tions are.

3 Things That Are Certain In Life

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Get­ting screwed by a lawyer

The madam opened the brothel door to see a rather dig­ni­fied, well-dressed good look­ing man in his late 40s or early 50s.

May I help you?” she asked.

I want to see Natalie,” the man replied.

Sir, Natalie is one of our most expen­sive ladies. Per­haps you would pre­fer some­one else,” said the madam.

No. I must see Natalie,” was the man’s reply.

Just then, Natalie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $1,000 a visit.

With­out hes­i­ta­tion, the man pulled out ten 100 dol­lar bills, gave them to Natalie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left.

The next night, the same man appeared again, demand­ing to see Natalie. Natalie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row–too expensive–and there were no dis­counts. The price was still $1,000. Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Natalie and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

The fol­low­ing night the man was there again. Every­one was astounded that he had come for the third con­sec­u­tive night, but he paid Natalie and they went upstairs.

After their ses­sion, Natalie ques­tioned the man. “No one has ever used me three nights in a row. Where are you from?” she asked.

The man replied, “South Carolina.”

Really” she said. “I have fam­ily in South Carolina.”

I know,” the man said. “Your father died and I am your sister’s attor­ney. She asked me to give you your $3,000 inheritance.”

No-Legged Parrot

A guy is brows­ing in a pet shop and sees a par­rot sit­ting on a lit­tle perch. It doesn’t have any feet or legs. The guy says aloud, “Jeesh, I won­der what hap­pened to this parrot?”

The par­rot says, “I was born this way. I’m a defec­tive parrot.”

Holy crap,” the guy replies. “You actu­ally under­stood and answered me!”

I got every word,” says the par­rot. “I hap­pen to be a highly intel­li­gent thor­oughly edu­cated bird.”

Oh yeah?” the guy asks, “Then answer this — how do you hang onto your perch with­out any feet?”

Well,” the par­rot says, “this is very embar­rass­ing but since you asked, I wrap my wee­nie around this wooden bar like a lit­tle hook. You can’t see it because of my feathers.”

Wow,” says the guy. “You really can under­stand and speak Eng­lish can’t you?”

Actu­ally, I speak both Span­ish and Eng­lish, and I can con­verse with rea­son­able com­pe­tence on almost any topic: pol­i­tics, reli­gion, sports, physics, phi­los­o­phy. I’m espe­cially good at ornithol­ogy. You really ought to buy me. I’d be a great companion.”

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag. “Sorry, but I just can’t afford that.”

Pssssssst,” says the par­rot, “I’m defec­tive, so the truth is, nobody wants me cause I don’t have any feet. You can prob­a­bly get me for $20; just make the guy an offer!”

The guy offers $20 and walks out with the par­rot. Weeks go by. The par­rot is sen­sa­tional. He has a great sense of humor, he’s inter­est­ing, he’s a great pal, he under­stands every­thing, he sym­pa­thizes, and he’s insight­ful. The guy is delighted.

One day the guy comes home from work and the par­rot goes, “Psssssssssssst,” and motions him over with one wing. “I don’t know if I should tell you this or not, but it’s about your wife and the postman.”

What are you talk­ing about?” asks the guy.

When the post­man deliv­ered the mail today, your wife greeted him at the door in a sheer black nightie.”

WHAT???” the guy asks incred­u­lously. “THEN what happened?”

Well, then the post­man came into the house and lifted up her nightie and began pet­ting her all over,” reported the parrot.

NO!” he exclaims. “And she let him?”

Yes. Then he con­tin­ued tak­ing off the nightie, got down on his knees and began to kiss her all over.…”

Then the fran­tic guy demands, “THEN WHAT HAPPENED?”

Damned if I know. I got a hard-on and fell off my perch!”

Blogger’s Block Again

In leiu of actual con­tent, a smart blonde/dumb south­erner joke:

Bubba and Junior were stand­ing at the base of a flag­pole, look­ing up.

A woman walked by and asked “What are you doing?”

We’re sup­posed to find the height of the flag­pole,” said Bubba, “but we don’t have a ladder.”

The woman took a wrench from her purse, loos­ened a few bolts, and laid the pole down. Then she took a tape mea­sure from her pocket, took a mea­sure­ment, announced, “Eigh­teen feet, six inches,” and walked away.

Junior shook his head and laughed. “Ain’t that just like a dumb blonde! We ask for the height, and she gives us the length!!”

Girls Night Out

Two women who had been friends for years, decided to go for a Girls Night Out, and were decid­edly over-enthusiastic on the martinis.

Incred­i­bly drunk and walk­ing home, they needed to use the bathroom.

They were very near a ceme­tery and one of them sug­gested they wiz behind a headstone.

The first woman had noth­ing to dry her­self with so she thought she’d take off her panties, use them, then throw them away.

Her friend, how­ever, was wear­ing rather expen­sive under­wear and didn’t want to ruin hers, but was lucky to sal­vage a large rib­bon from a wreath that was on one of the graves. She dried her­self with the rib­bon. After fin­ish­ing, they then made off for home.

The next day the first woman’s hus­band phoned the other hus­band and said, “This girls night out thing has got to stop right now. My wife came home last night with­out her panties.”

That’s noth­ing.” said the other hus­band, “Mine came home with a card stuck to her butt that said, ‘FROM ALL OF US AT THE FIRE STATION, WE’LL NEVER FORGET YOU.’”

Thanks Buddy

Jack decided to go ski­ing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up in Jack’s mini­van and headed north. After dri­ving for a few hours, they got caught in a ter­ri­ble bliz­zard. They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attrac­tive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

I real­ize it’s ter­ri­ble weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I’m recently wid­owed,” she explained. “I’m afraid neigh­bors will talk if I let you stay in my house.”

Don’t worry,” Jack said. “We’ll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we’ll be gone at first light.” The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and set­tled in for the night. Come morn­ing, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great week­end of skiing.

About nine months later, Jack got an unex­pected let­ter from an attor­ney. It took him a few min­utes to fig­ure it out, but he finally deter­mined that it was from the attor­ney of that attrac­tive widow he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, “Bob, do you remem­ber that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski hol­i­day up North?

Yes, I do.”

Did you hap­pen to get up in the mid­dle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?”

Yes,” Bob said, a lit­tle embar­rassed about being found out. “I have to admit that I did.”

And did you hap­pen to use my name instead of telling her your name?”

Bob’s face turned red and he said, “Yeah, sorry, buddy. I’m afraid I did. Why do you ask?”

She just died and left me every­thing.“

Totally Bankrupt

I’ve got noth­ing, so here is a joke from my Maxim mag­a­zine that came in the mail today:

A trum­peter is hired to to play music for a movie, but isn’t told what the movie is about.Two months later he receives a notice that the movie will debut in an adult the­ater. On the night of the show, he wears a trench coat and shades to avoid being seen and sits in the back row of the the­ater next to an elderly woman. For the next two hours, he watches hard­core porn where the lead actress has sex with a dog.

I wrote the score,” the man whis­pers to the elderly woman part­way through. “I just came to hear the music.”

That’s nice,” she whis­pers back. “I just came to see my dog.”

Yeee Haw!

Two cow­boys are out on the range talk­ing about their favorite sex positions.

One says, “I think I enjoy the rodeo posi­tion the best.”

I don’t think I have ever heard of that one”, says the other cow­boy. “What is it?”

Well, it’s where you get your girl­friend down on all fours and you mount her from behind, and you reach around and cup each of her breasts in your hands, and then you whis­per in her ear, ‘These feel just a lit­tle smaller than your sister’s’ … then you try to hold on for eight seconds.”

Sickest Joke Of All Time

The day after his wife dis­ap­peared in a kayak­ing acci­dent, an Anchor­age man answered his door to find two grim-faced Alaska State Troop­ers. “We’re sorry sir, but we have some infor­ma­tion about your wife,” said one trooper.

Tell me! Did you find her?” he shouted.

The troop­ers looked at each other. One said, “We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?”

Fear­ing the worst, the ashen faced man said, “Give me the bad news first.”

The trooper said, “I’m sorry to tell you, sir, but this morn­ing we found your wife’s body in Kachemak Bay.”

Oh my God!” he exclaimed. Swal­low­ing hard, he asked, “What’s the good news?”

The trooper con­tin­ued, “When we pulled her up, she had 12-twenty-five pound king crabs and 6 good-size Dun­ge­ness crabs on her.”

Stunned, he demanded, “If that’s the good news, what’s the great news?”

The trooper said, “We’re going to pull her up again tomorrow.”

Stay Away

A senior cit­i­zen in Florida bought a brand new Mer­cedes con­vert­ible. He took off down the road, floor­ing it to 80 mph and enjoy­ing the wind blow­ing through what lit­tle hair he had left on his head. “This is great,” he thought as he roared on down I-75. He pushed the pedal to the metal even more.

Then he looked in his rear view mir­ror and saw a high­way patrol trooper behind him, blue lights flash­ing and siren blar­ing. “I can get away from him with no prob­lem,” thought the man and he tromped on it some more, and flew down the road at over 100 mph. Then 110, 120mph. Then he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this kind of thing.” He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the trooper to catch up with him.

The trooper pulled in behind the Mer­cedes, and walked up to the man. “Sir,” he said, look­ing at his watch. “My shift ends in 30 min­utes and today is Fri­day. If you can give me any rea­son why you were speed­ing, that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”

The man looked at the trooper and said, “Years ago my wife ran off with a Florida State trooper, and I thought you were bring­ing her back.”

The trooper replied, “Sir, have a nice day!”

Guilty

Have you been guilty of look­ing at oth­ers your own age and think­ing, “Surely I can’t look that old?”

I was sit­ting in the wait­ing room for my first appoint­ment with a new den­tist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name. Sud­denly, I remem­bered a tall, hand­some, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then??

Upon see­ing him, how­ever, I quickly dis­carded any such thought. This bald­ing, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my class­mate. Hmmm,…or could he???

After he exam­ined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Mor­gan Park High School. “Yes. Yes, I did. I’m a Mus­tang,” he gleamed with pride.

When did you grad­u­ate?” I asked.

He answered, “In 1963. Why do you ask?”

You were in my class!” I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, wrin­kled son-of-a-bitch asked, “What did you teach?”

Monday Morning Mailbag

Ever vil­gi­lant Pos­tini stopped 78 pieces of spam on Fri­day, 66 on Stau­r­day and 55 on Sun­day. It also allowed 6 to sneak through. What I really liked about 4 of the 6 that made it through were the sender’s names:
Ful­gen­zio Merrill

Stand­off­ish S. Porous

Zimri Pon­der

Spar­ta­cus Alicea

Trou­ble is that their email addresses didn’t have the same sort of flair (in the same order as above):
Kajetan@jennison.com
abetter@aspecialmemoryflorist.com
Josef@jaegervineyards.com
Jamaal@futuramic.com

The sub­jects were the usual dreck (in the same order as above):
DUH Phar­m­maaccy — Homer Simpon’s Drug Store?
Dar­lin how good to see you! :) — The Secrets of Human Sex­u­al­ity Ebook. This one snuck by the spam gaurd by includ­ing a dozen or so hom­i­lies, includ­ing my favorite: How can one bet­ter mag­nify the Almighty than by snig­ger­ing with him at his lit­tle jokes, par­tic­u­larly the poorer ones.

Joke Of The Week

A lady walks into a drug store and tells the phar­ma­cist she needs some cyanide.

The phar­ma­cist said, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”

The lady then explained she needed it to poi­son her husband.

The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he said, “Lord have mercy, I can’t give you cyanide to kill your hus­band! That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license, they’ll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will hap­pen! Absolutely not, you can NOT have any cyanide!”

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a pic­ture of her hus­band in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.

The phar­ma­cist looked at the pic­ture and replied, “Well now, you didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

Wittle Wabbit Fuud

A pre­cious lit­tle girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweet­est lit­tle lisp between two miss­ing teeth, “Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep wid­dle wabbits?”

As the shopkeeper’s heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he’s on her level and asks, “Do you want a wid­dle white wab­bit, or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wab­bit, or maybe one like that cute wid­dle bwown wab­bit over there?”

She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans for­ward and says, in a quiet voice, “I don’t think my python weally gives a thit.”

Priceless

Jack wakes up at home with a huge hang­over after the night of his office Christ­mas party. He forces him­self to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a cou­ple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table.

And, next to them, a sin­gle red rose!

Jack sits down and sees his cloth­ing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Jack looks around the room and sees that it is in per­fect order, spot­lessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye star­ing back at him in the bath­room mir­ror, and notices a note on the table: “Honey, break­fast is on the stove, I left early to go shop­ping– Love you!”

He stum­bles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot break­fast and the morn­ing news­pa­per. His son is also at the table, eat­ing. Jack asks, “Son…what hap­pened last night?”

Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You broke some fur­ni­ture, puked in the hall­way, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.”

So, why is every­thing in such per­fect order, so clean, I have a rose, and break­fast is on the table wait­ing for me?”

His son replies, “Oh THAT!…Mom dragged you to the bed­room, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, “Leave me alone, lady, I’m married!”

Bro­ken fur­ni­ture — $85.26
Hot Break­fast — $4.20
Red Rose bud -$3.00
Two Aspirins -$.38
Say­ing the right thing, at the right time…“Priceless”.

Surrogate Photographer

The Smiths were unable to con­ceive chil­dren, and decided to use a sur­ro­gate father to start their fam­ily. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, “I’m off. The man should be here soon”.

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby pho­tog­ra­pher rang the door­bell, hop­ing to make a sale.

Good morn­ing madam. I’ve come to.…..”

Oh, no need to explain. I’ve been expect­ing you,” Mrs. Smith cut in.

Really?” the pho­tog­ra­pher asked. “Well, good! I’ve made a spe­cialty of babies.”

That’s what my hus­band and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat.”

After a moment she asked, blush­ing, “Well, where do we start?”

Leave every­thing to me. I usu­ally try two in the bath­tub, one on the couch and per­haps a cou­ple on the bed. Some­times the liv­ing room floor is fun too.…you can really spread out!”

Bath­tub, liv­ing room floor? No won­der it didn’t work for Harry and me.”

Well, madam, none of us can guar­an­tee a good one every time. But if we try sev­eral dif­fer­ent posi­tions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results.”

My, my, that’s a lot of ..! ! .” gasped Mrs. Smith.

Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I’d love to be in and out in five min­utes, but you’d be dis­ap­pointed with that, I’m sure.”

Don’t I know it,” Mrs. Smith mut­tered. The pho­tog­ra­pher opened his brief­case and pulled out a port­fo­lio of his baby pictures.

This was done on the top of a bus.”

Oh my god!!” Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tug­ging at her handkerchief.

And these twins turned out excep­tion­ally well, when you con­sider their mother was so dif­fi­cult to work with.”

She was dif­fi­cult?” asked Mrs. Smith.

Yes, I’m afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. Peo­ple were crowd­ing around four and five deep, push­ing to get a good look.”

Four and five deep?” asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.

Yes,” the pho­tog­ra­pher said. “And for more than three hours, too. The mother was con­stantly squeal­ing and yelling I could hardly con­cen­trate! Then dark­ness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squir­rels began nib­bling on my equip­ment, I just packed it all in.”

Mrs. Smith leaned for­ward. “You mean they actu­ally chewed on your um…equipment ?”

That’s right. Well, madam, if you’re ready, I’ll set up my tri­pod so that we can get to work”

Tri­pod??

Oh yes, I have to use a tri­pod to rest my Canon on. It’s much too big for me to hold for very long. Madam? Madam? …Good Lord, she’s fainted!…

Nair

A lady found out her dog could hardly hear so she took it to the Vet­eri­nar­ian. He found that the prob­lem was hair in its ears so he cleaned both ears and the dog could hear fine.

The vet then pro­ceeded to tell the lady that if she wanted to keep this from reoc­cur­ring she should go to the store and get some “Nair” hair remover and rub it in the dog’s ears once a month.

The lady goes to the drug store and gets some “Nair” hair remover. At the reg­is­ter the drug­gist tells her: “If you’re going to use this under your arms don’t use deodor­ant for a few days.” The lady says: “I’m not using it under my arms.”

The drug­gist says: “If you’re using it on your legs don’t shave for a cou­ple of days.”

The lady says: “I’m not using it on my legs either; if you must know, I’m using it on my schnauzer.”

The drug­gist says: “Stay off your bicy­cle for a week.”

Bambi Goes Hunting

Calvin & Hobbes has to be my all-time favorite comic strip. I really hated that Bill Wat­ter­son stopped doing orig­i­nal strips a few years back, but I can defi­nately sym­pa­thize with get­ting burnt out on some­thing) and want­ing to stop. For­tu­nately uComics.com is keep­ing the spirit of C & H alive by pub­lish­ing the strip each day eleven years after they were orig­i­nally printed in the paper. Every Mon­day when I come in to work I down­load the Sun­day strip and post it out­side on my cubi­cal wall. This last Sunday’s is one of my favorites:

Change One Letter

These came to me via email today with the foll­wing lead-in:

> The Wash­ing­ton Post’s Style Invi­ta­tional once again
> asked read­ers to take

I thought some were kind of neat and wanted to pass them on. I also wanted to include the link to the Wash­ing­ton Post’s site for your enjoy­ment as well. A Google search quickly dis­cov­ers that I am not alone in want­ing to blog about these “new” words. After click­ing on a cou­ple of the links it is start­ing to seem like these may have been from 2003. They may not even have been more than one.

Holiday Eating Tips

1 — Avoid car­rot sticks. Any­one who puts car­rots on a hol­i­day buf­fet table knows noth­ing of the Christ­mas spirit. In fact, if you see car­rots, leave imme­di­ately. Go next door, where they’re serv­ing rum balls.

2 — Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it’s rare. In fact, it’s even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can’t find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calo­ries in every sip? It’s not as if you’re going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or some­thing. It’s a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It’s later than you think. It’s Christmas!

3 — If some­thing comes with gravy, use it. That’s the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a vol­cano out of your mashed pota­toes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the vol­cano. Repeat.

4 — As for mashed pota­toes, always ask if they’re made with skim milk or whole milk. If it’s skim, pass. Why bother? It’s like buy­ing a sports car with an auto­matic transmission.

5 — Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to con­trol your eat­ing. The whole point of going to a Christ­mas party is to eat other people’s food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

6 — Under no cir­cum­stances should you exer­cise between now and New Year’s. You can do that in Jan­u­ary when you have noth­ing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you’ll need after cir­cling the buf­fet table while car­ry­ing a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

7 — If you come across some­thing really good at a buf­fet table, like frosted Christ­mas cook­ies in the shape and size of Santa, posi­tion your­self near them and don’t budge. Have as many as you can before becom­ing the cen­ter of atten­tion. They’re like a beau­ti­ful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you’re never going to see them again.

8 — Same for pies. Apple. Pump­kin. Mince­meat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don’t like mince­meat, have two apples and one pump­kin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?

9 — Did some­one men­tion fruit­cake? Granted, it’s loaded with the manda­tory cel­e­bra­tory calo­ries, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

10 — One final tip: If you don’t feel ter­ri­ble when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven’t been pay­ing atten­tion. Reread tips; start over, but hurry, Jan­u­ary is just around the corner.

The Hat

While on a road trip, an elderly cou­ple stopped at a road­side restau­rant for lunch. After fin­ish­ing their meal, they left the restau­rant and resumed their trip.

When leav­ing, the elderly woman unknow­ingly left her glasses on the table. And, she didn’t miss them until after they had been dri­ving about twenty min­utes. By then, to add to the aggra­va­tion, they had to travel quite a dis­tance before they could find a place to turn around in order to return to the restau­rant to retrieve her glasses.

All the way back, the elderly hus­band became the clas­sic grouchy old man. He fussed and com­plained and scolded his wife relent­lessly dur­ing the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agi­tated he became. He just wouldn’t let up one minute.

To her relief, they finally arrived at the restau­rant and as the woman got out of the car and hur­ried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old man yelled to her, “While you’re in there, you might as well get my hat.”

It’s a-quiverin’…

A bak­ery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man comes into the bak­ery, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Notic­ing the length of her skirt (or lack thereof) and the loca­tion of the raisin bread on the very top shelf, he politely says to the young woman, “I’d like some raisin bread, please.”

She climbs up a lad­der to reach the raisin bread, pro­vid­ing the young man with an excel­lent view, just as he sur­mised she would. When she comes down the lad­der, he says he really should get two loaves as he is hav­ing com­pany for dinner.

As the clerk retrieves the sec­ond loaf of bread, one of the other male cus­tomers notices what is going on. Think­ing quickly, he orders a loaf of raisin bread so he can con­tinue to enjoy the view.

With each trip up the lad­der, the young lady seems to catch the eye of another male cus­tomer. Pretty soon, each male cus­tomer is ask­ing for raisin bread just to watch the young woman climb up and down.

After many trips, she is tired, irri­tated and think­ing she is really going to have to try the raisin bread her­self. Once again she is up the lad­der retriev­ing a loaf of raisin bread for another male cus­tomer. She stops and fumes, glar­ing at the men below. She notices an elderly man stand­ing among the crowd of males look­ing up at her who hasn’t placed an order yet. Think­ing to save her­self another trip up and down the lad­der, she yells at the elderly man, “Is yours raisin, too?”

No”, croaked the old man, “but it’s a-quiverin’”…

A Different Twist on Retirement

Came via email (and I edited it a lit­tle):
Recently I was check­ing my 401k account and think­ing about retire­ment, I saw an arti­cle about nurs­ing homes, care facil­i­ties and retire­ment homes and ALL the expenses. Then it hit me. No nurs­ing home for me! Here is my plan: I’m check­ing into A Hol­i­day Inn. WHY?

With the aver­age cost for a nurs­ing home reach­ing $188 per day, there is a bet­ter way when we get old and fee­ble. I have already checked on reser­va­tions at the Hol­i­day Inn. For a com­bined long-term stay dis­count and senior dis­count, it’s $49.23 per night. That leaves $138.77 a day for break­fast, lunch, din­ner in any restau­rant I want, or room ser­vice. It also will leave enough for laun­dry, gra­tu­ities, and spe­cial TV movies.

Plus, I’ll get a swim­ming pool, a work­out room, a lounge, and washer and dryer. I’ll also get free tooth­paste, razors, sham­poo and soap. And I’ll be treated like a cus­tomer, not a patient.

Five dol­lars worth of tips a day will have the entire staff scram­bling. There is a city bus stop out front, and seniors ride free. The hand­i­cap bus will also pick me up if I fake a decent limp. Ride the church bus free on Sun­days. For a change of scenery, take the air­port shut­tle bus and eat at one of the nice restau­rants there. While you’re at the air­port, fly some­where. Mean­while, the cash keeps build­ing up. It takes months to get into decent nurs­ing homes. On the other hand, Hol­i­day Inn will take your reser­va­tion today. And you are not stuck in one place for­ever — you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city. Want to see Hawaii? They have a Hol­i­day Inn there, too. TV bro­ken? Light bulbs need chang­ing? Need a mat­tress replaced? No prob­lem. They fix every­thing and apol­o­gize for the inconvenience.

The Hol­i­day Inn has a night secu­rity per­son and daily room ser­vice. The maid checks to see if you are OK. If not, they will call the under­taker or an ambu­lance. If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip & Hol­i­day Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life. And no wor­ries about vis­its from fam­ily. They will always be glad to visit you & prob­a­bly check in for a mini-vacation.

Most stan­dard rooms have cof­fee mak­ers, reclin­ing chairs, and satel­lite TV — all you need to enjoy a cozy after­noon. After a movie and a good nap, you can check on your chil­dren (free local phone calls), then take a stroll to the lounge or restau­rant where you meet new and exotic peo­ple every day. Many Hol­i­day Inns even fea­ture live enter­tain­ment on the week­ends. Often they have spe­cial offers, too, like the Kids Eat Free pro­gram. You can invite your grand­kids over after school to have a free din­ner with you. Just tell them not to bring more than three friends.

NO elec­tric bills, no water & sewer bills, No Cable TV bills, No Trash bills in fact some one each days comes and emp­ties ALL your waste bas­kets, does the beds… straight­ens up the liv­ing room, bath room, kitchen and bed room along with mak­ing up the beds. There is no charge for a daily news­pa­per or for 24 hour secu­rity and SEVEN day a week maid ser­vice. Meals are from a REAL menu and there is 24 hour cof­fee shops, guests ser­vices, busi­ness room with Fax, copier and the like. Uh, did I men­tion most now offer FREE inter­net. Free tow­els at the Pool, Jacuzzi, spa and work­out facilities.

Those of you wor­ried about sav­ings… for­get about a hor­ren­dous Main­te­nance bill that looks like what rent use to be. Save your money when it comes to prop­erty taxes, school taxes, lawn care, house up-keep as in gar­den­ing and land­scap­ing. Park­ing is FREE and secure and con­ve­nient espe­cially if you are hand­i­capped and are a LONG term res­i­dent cus­tomer. You can greet guests in the Lobby, read­ing area, party or func­tion rooms and later take them out to eat with­out Going Back Out. Valet park­ing makes every­one feel spe­cial and on vaca­tion. Every­one there greets you with a smile and by name within one week of stay­ing there. You feel wel­comed and that you belong to a Team and one of the staff. Every­one ALWAYS treats you with dig­nity and respect you will NEVER see at an institution.

Pick a Hol­i­day Inn where they allow pets, and your best friend can keep you com­pany as well. If you want to travel, but are a bit skit­tish about unfa­mil­iar sur­round­ings, you’ll always feel at home because wher­ever you go, the rooms all look the same. And if you’re get­ting a lit­tle absent-minded in your old days, you never have to worry about not find­ing your room — your elec­tronic key fits only one door and the help­ful bell­man or desk clerk is on duty 24/7.

Being nat­ural skep­tics, we called a Hol­i­day Inn to check out this idea of my plan. I’m happy to report that they were pos­i­tively giddy at the idea of us check­ing in for a year or more. They even offered to nego­ti­ate the rate to $35 a night !

If you have spe­cial med­ical needs, just like if you were home… the nurses can visit you daily at the Hol­i­day Inn, so can the podi­a­trist, the per­sonal aid and assis­tant and even the PT ther­a­pist. On an extended stay for months, you can per­son­al­ize your quar­ters with your own books, pic­tures and decorations.

Dial ZERO and you have a live voice only a few steps away that can respond to a request or offer assis­tance. The more I think about this and the thou­sands that can be saved and invested… why in two years you could be liv­ing FREE with a sim­ple invest­ment in Tax Free muni’s where the prin­ci­ple is never touched… You could have a 6 digit estate to hand down to your chil­dren in less than 10 years.

Now THAT is called LIVING… Seen any of the dozen Hawai­ian Hol­i­day Inns.. You would think you are in Heaven…

Monks

A man’s car broke down as he was dri­ving past a beau­ti­ful, old monastery. He walked up the drive and knocked on the front door of the monastery. A monk answered, lis­tened to the man’s story and gra­ciously invited him to spend the night. The monks fed the man and led him to a tiny cham­ber in which to sleep.

The man thanked the monks and slept serenely until he was awak­ened by a strange sound. The next morn­ing, as the monks repaired his car, he asked about the sound that woke him.

The monks said, “We’re sorry. We can’t tell you about the sound. You’re not a monk.”

The man was dis­ap­pointed, but eager to be gone, so he thanked the monks for their kind­ness and went on his way. Dur­ing quiet moments after­ward, the man pon­dered the source of the allur­ing sound.

Sev­eral years later, the man was dri­ving in the same area. He stopped at the monastery on a whim and asked admit­tance. He explained to the monks that he had so enjoyed his pre­vi­ous stay, he won­dered if he might be per­mit­ted to spend another night under their peace­ful roof.

The monks agreed and the man stayed.

Late that night, he heard the sound. The next morn­ing, he begged the monks to explain the sound.

The monks said, “We’re sorry. We can’t tell you about the sound. You’re not a monk.”

By now, the man’s curios­ity had turned to obses­sion. He decided to give up every­thing and become a monk if that was the only way to learn about the sound. He informed the monks of his deci­sion and began the long and ardu­ous task of becom­ing a monk.

Sev­en­teen years later, the man was finally estab­lished as a true mem­ber of the order. When the cel­e­bra­tion ended, he humbly went to the leader of the order and asked to be told the source of the sound.

Silently, the old monk led the new monk to a huge wooden door. He opened the door with a golden key. That door swung open to reveal a sec­ond door of sil­ver, then a third of gold and so on until they had passed through twelve doors, each more mag­nif­i­cent than the last.

The new monk’s face was awash with tears of joy as he finally beheld the won­drous source of the mys­te­ri­ous sound he had heard so many years before.

Hey Little Boy

An old man was sit­ting on his front porch down in Louisiana watch­ing the sun rise. He sees the neighbor’s kid walk by car­ry­ing some­thing big under his arm. He yells out “Hey boy, whatcha got there?”

Boy yells back “Roll of chicken wire.”

Old man says “What you gonna do with that?”

Boy says “Gonna catch some chickens.”

Old man yells “You damn fool, you can’t catch chick­ens with chicken wire!”

Boy just laughs and keeps walking.

That evening at sun­set the boy comes walk­ing by and to the old man’s sur­prise he is drag­ging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chick­ens caught in it.

Same time next morn­ing the old man is out watch­ing the sun rise and he sees the boy walk by car­ry­ing some­thing kind of round in his hand. Old man yells out “Hey boy, whatcha got there?”

Boy yells back “Roll of duck tape.”

Old man says “What you gonna do with that?”

Boy says back “Gonna catch me some ducks.“
Old man yells back, “You damn fool, you can’t catch ducks with duck tape!”

Boy just laughs and keeps walking.

That night around sun­set the boy walks by com­ing home and to the old man’s amaze­ment he is trail­ing behind him the unrolled roll of duck tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.

Same time next morn­ing the old man sees the boy walk­ing by car­ry­ing what looks like a long reed with some­thing fuzzy on the end. Old man says “Hey boy, whatcha got there?”

Boy says “It’s a pussy willow.

Old man says “Wait up.… I’ll get my hat.”

Drugstore Diagnosis

In lieu of an actual rant today I present for your read­ing plea­sure, a guy joke:

One day, in line at the com­pany cafe­te­ria, Jack says to Mike behind him, “My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I bet­ter see a doc­tor.” “Lis­ten, you don’t have to spend that kind of money,” Mike replies. “There’s a diag­nos­tic com­puter at the drug­store at the cor­ner. Just give it a urine sam­ple and the computer’ll tell you what’s wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten sec­onds and costs ten dollars…a hell of a lot cheaper than a doctor.”

So Jack deposits a urine sam­ple in a small jar and takes it to the drug­store. He deposits ten dol­lars, and the com­puter lights up and asks for the urine sam­ple. He pours the sam­ple into the slot and waits. Ten sec­onds later, the com­puter ejects a print­out: You have ten­nis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activ­ity. It will improve in two weeks.”

That evening while think­ing how amaz­ing this new tech­nol­ogy was, Jack began won­der­ing if the com­puter could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sam­ple from his dog, urine sam­ples from his wife and daugh­ter, and mas­tur­bated into the mix­ture for good mea­sure. Jack hur­ries back to the drug­store, eager to check the results.

The com­puter prints the fol­low­ing:
1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water soft­ener.
2. Your dog has ring­worm. Bath him with anti-fungal sham­poo.
3. Your daugh­ter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant…twin girls. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer.
5. And if you don’t stop play­ing with your­self, your elbow will never get better.

3,000 Miles to Graceland

Was it about the good Elvis bat­tling the bad Elvis? Or were they just giv­ing Kurt Rus­sell slightly good things to do so it would be OK for him to end up with the girl in the end. Court­ney Arquette Cox can’t cry con­vinc­ingly. Kind of inter­est­ing movie, but what’s up with the over the top gun­play? After the final shoot out scene, where like 16,000 bul­lets have been fired, 2 dozen bod­ies have been blown up or shot off scaf­fold­ings, Kevin Kost­ner has been hit with like 30 bul­lets, one fed­eral mar­shall looks at the other and says, “Make sure everyone’s OK?” Huh? Was that com­edy? Oh well, at least they had some cool cars and some cool Elvis jokes.…
