Crocheted Dolls
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years.They had shared
everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets
from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the
top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or
ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day
the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not
recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took
down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money
totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be
married,” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy
marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with
you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two
precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two
times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness. “Honey,” he said, “that explains the doll, but what about
all of this money? Where did it come from?”
“Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”
An angry client went back to the
automobile garage where he’d purchased an expensive battery for his car
six months earlier.
“Listen,” the motorist grumbled to the owner of the garage, “when I
bought this battery you said it would be the last battery my car would
ever need. It died after only six months!”
“Sorry,” apologized the garage owner. “I didn’t think your car would
last longer than that.”
The Weigh Scale
Two kids went into their parents bathroom and noticed the weigh scale
in the corner. “Whatever you do,” cautioned one youngster to the other,
“Don’t step on it!”
“Why not?” asked the sibling.
“Because every time mom does, she lets out an awful scream!”
Doctor’s Orders
A guy says to the bartender, “A glass of your finest Less, please.”
“Less? Never heard of it.”
“C’mon, sure you have.”
“No, really, we don’t stock it. What is it? Some kind of foreign beer?”
“I’m not sure. It was my doctor who mentioned it. He said I should
drink Less.”
Beware of Dog
There was a hound dog laying in the yard. An old man in overalls was
sitting on the porch.
“Excuse me, Sir, but does your dog bite?” the visiting salesman asked.
The old man replied, “Nope.”
So the salesman stepped out of his car. The dog ran over snarling and
growling and bit him on his arms and legs
As the dog was dragging him away, the salesman was flailing around in
the dust and yelled, “I thought you said your dog didn’t bite!”
The old man replied, “Ain’t my dog.”
Psychologically
Speaking
The psychology instructor had just finished a lecture on mental health
and was giving an oral test. Speaking specifically about manic
depression, she asked, “How would you diagnose a patient who walks back
and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a
chair weeping uncontrollably the next?”
A young man in the rear raised his hand and answered, “A hockey coach?”
The Earthworm
Two kids were digging for fishing bait in my garden. Uncovering a
many-legged creature, Eddy proudly dangled it before his mother.
“No, honey, he won’t do for bait,” his mother said. “He’s not an
earthworm.”
“He’s not?” Eddy asked his eyes wide. “What planet is he from?”

Horse Trader
A big Texan fellah is walking down the main street of Ballinclashett,
Ireland and encounters Liam standing on the pavement beside a big
strong horse.
This prompts the Texan to attempt to realise a lifelong dream and he
says to Liam, “Say Boy, that’s a fine-lookin horse you got there, and
I’d like to tour this beautiful country on horseback so’s I can see the
sights and hear the sounds of the countryside like they did in the old
days. I’ll buy that horse off of ya, how much ya want.”
Liam says, “O sure and you don’t want to be messin with this horse he
don’t look too good these days.”
“Hey, Boy,” says the Texan, “Don’t you try to tell me what’s a good
lookin’ horse an what isn’t. I been tradin’ horses all my life long and
there ain’t nothin a young country boy like you can tell me about em.
Now you jes name yer price and we’ll get along fine.”
“I’m sayin’ to ye that this horse is not a good lookin horse mister and
ye don’t want any part of ‘im,” says Liam.
The Texan is getting angry now. “Listen up Boy, he says, you leave me
be the judge of what’s good lookin and what’s not and jes give me the
price and I’ll pay cash right here and now.”
Oh well, says Liam, “$2000.00US.”
“Deal!” says the Texan and he hands over the money, Liam unties the
horse and the Texan leads him off.
The horse walks smack into the first lampost in the way, and the
Texan turns to Liam and says, “Hey, Boy, you’re a swindler, you didn’
tell me this here horse was blind!”
“I keep tellin’ you he don’t look too good,” says Liam, “and you kept
saying that’s none of my business, so in the end I gave up.”

Don’t Get Caught
Drinkin and Drivin
One day, two rednecks named Bubba and Earl were driving down the road,
drinking a couple of cold beers. The passenger, Bubba, said
“Lookey thar up ahead Earl, it’s a po-leece roadblock! We’re
gonna get busted fer drinkin’ these here beers!”
“Don’t worry Bubba,” Earl said. “We’ll just pull over and finish
drinkin’ these beers, peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads,
then throw the bottles under the seat.”
“What fer?” asked Bubba.
“Just let me do the talkin’, okay?” said Earl. They finished their
beers, threw the empty bottles under the seat and slapped the labels on
their foreheads. When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff
said, “Have you boys been drinking?”
“No sir,” said Earl, “we’re on the patch.”
