A couple was celebrating their golden
wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the
talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the
secret of their long and happy marriage.
“Well, it dates back to our honeymoon,” explained the man. “We visited
the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom on the canyon by
pack mule. We hadn’t gone too far when my wife’s mule stumbled. My wife
quietly said, ‘That’s once.’ We proceeded a little further and the mule
stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, ‘That’s twice.’ Hadn’t
gone a half- mile when the mule stumbled the third time. My wife
quietly removed a revolver from her pocket and shot the mule dead. I
started to yell at her for her treatment of the mule when she looked at
me and quietly said ‘That’s once.’”
Sweet Cheeks
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman’s face was
severely burned. The doctor told her husband that they couldn’t graft
any skin from her body because she was too skinny.
So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the
only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to
come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would
tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the
doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate
matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman’s
new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her
friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with
emotion at his sacrifice. She said, “Dear, I just want to thank you for
everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you.”
“My darling,” he replied, “I get all the thanks I need every time I see
your
mother kiss you on the cheek.”
Old MacDonald
Its the final round of the $64,000 question and only 3 remaining
contestants are left, an Englishman, a Texan and an Arkansan. The
question is, finish the following song title and spell the answer. “
Old Macdonald had a ____”.
The Englishman goes 1st and says “estate” “e-s-t-a-t-e”.
The announcer says sorry wrong answer, but right spelling, meanwhile
the Arkansan is going nuts he is so excited he cannot control himself.
The Texan goes next and answers “ Ranch”, “r-a-n-c-h”.
The announcer says sorry wrong answer but right spelling, and the
Arkansan is jumping up and down and he is so excited he almost
screams. The announcer turns to the Arkansan and says “for $64,000 what
is the answer.”
The Arkansan answers “farm” , “e-i-e-i-o”
Talking Dog
A man sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog for Sale.” He rings
the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. He goes
into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.
“You talk?” he asks.
“Yep,” the mutt replies.
“So, what’s your story?”
The mutt looks up and says, “Well, I discovered this gift pretty young
and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift,
and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in
rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would
be eavesdropping.”
“I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. But, the
jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any
younger and I wanted to settle down.”
“So, I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover
security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and
listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was
awarded a batch of medals.”
“Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.”
The man is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for
the dog.
The owner says, “Ten dollars.”
The guy says, “This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so
cheap?”
The owner replies, “He’s such a liar. He didn’t do any of that stuff.”
Lost
Equipment
A soldier who lost his rifle was reprimanded by his captain and told he
would have to pay for it.
“Sir,” gulped the soldier, “suppose I lost a tank. Surely I would
not have to pay for that!”
“Yes, you would, too,” bellowed the captain, “even if it took the rest
of your life.”
“Well,” said the soldier, “now I know why the captain always goes down
with his ship.”
Bird Brain
One day a man strolled in to the paint section of a hardware store and
walked up to the assistant. “I’d like a pint of canary colored paint,”
he says.
“Sure” the clerk replies. “Mind if I ask what it’s for?”
“My parakeet, “the man said. “See, I want to enter him in a canary
contest. He sings so beautifully he is sure to win.
“Well, you can’t do that!” the assistant says. “The chemicals in the
paint will surely kill the poor thing!”
“No they won’t,” says the customer.
“Listen, buddy, I’ll bet you twenty bucks your parakeet dies if you try
to paint him.”
“You’re on” said the customer. Two days later the man walks back in the
store and very sheepishly lays $20 on the counter.
“So the paint killed him?” asked the clerk
“Indirectly,” the man said. “He seemed to handle the paint okay, but I
think the sanding between coats did him in.”
Psychology 101
In a class on abnormal psychology, the instructor was about to
introduce the subject of manic depression.
She posed this question to her students: “How would you diagnose a
patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one
minute, then sits down weeping uncontrollably the next?”
A young man in the rear raised his hand and suggested earnestly, “A
football coach?”
New Toothpaste
Did you hear about the new toothpaste that has shoe polish in it?
It is for people who put their foot in their mouth.
Strong Words
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of
church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the
man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, “Stop!
Acts 2:38 (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that
your sins may be forgiven.) The burglar stopped in his tracks.
The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As
the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, “Why
did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to
you.”
“Scripture?” replied the burglar. “She said she had an ax and two
38’s!”
The Juggler
A driver was pulled over by a police officer for speeding. As the
officer was writing the ticket, he noticed several machetes in the
car. “What are those for?” he asked suspiciously.
“I’m a juggler,” the man replied. “I use those in my act.”
“Well, show me,” the officer demanded, still a little unsure. So
he got out the machetes and started juggling them, first three, then
more, finally seven at one time, overhand, underhand, behind the back,
putting on a dazzling show and amazing the officer. Just then
another car passed by.
The driver did a double take, and said, “That’s it Maude. I’ve
got to give up the drink! Just look at the sobriety test they’re
giving now!!”
Heavy Spender
“My wife is always asking for money,” complained a man to his
friend. “Last week she wanted $500. The day before
yesterday she asked me for $325. This morning she wanted $450.”
“That’s crazy,” said the friend. “What does she do with it all.”
“I don’t know,” said the man, “I never give her any.”
Sunday Drive
Two elderly women were out for a Sunday drive in a large car and both
could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they
came to an intersection.
The stoplight was red but they just went on through. The woman in the
passenger seat thought to herself “I must be losing it, I could have
sworn we
just went through a red light”.
After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the
light was red
again, and again they went right through.
This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the
light had
been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was
getting
nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next
intersection to see what was going on.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and
they
went right through, and she turned to the other woman and said,
“Mildred! Did
you know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have
killed us!”
Mildred turned to her and said “Oh, am I driving?”
Strike One
A neighbor was watching a little boy playing with a ball and bat in his
backyard. “I’m the greatest hitter in the world” the boy exclaimed as
he threw the ball into the air. He swung with all his might but missed
the ball and fell down himself.
“Strike One” he says as he gets up. He throws it up again and swings.
Again the ball falls to the ground with a thud.
“Strike Two” he yells still undeterred.
“I’m the greatest” he says as he swings once again hitting only air as
the ball falls to the ground.
This time he dances around the backyard as he yells “Strike Three....
I’m the greatest pitcher in the world!”
