A farmer drove to a neighbor's farmhouse and knocked at the door. A
boy, about 9, opened the door.

"Is your dad or mom home?" said the farmer.

"No, they went to town."

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

"No, he went with Mom and Dad."

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to
the other, and mumbling to himself.

"I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can
give Dad a message."

"Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to
your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter Suzy
pregnant!!"

The boy thought for a moment.

"You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for
the bull and $50 for the boar, but I don't know how much he charges
for Howard."

Many of you will remember Archie Campbell from Hee-Haw, and he was a regular at the Grand Old Oprey, Decades before 'Blue Collar Comedy', guys like Campbell and Grandpa Jones were selling the country comedy shtick to southern audiences.

I'm not big on the Jeff Foxworthy and Cable Guy thing, but Archie Campbell is okay in my book. I dig that old school comedy delivery of punch line after punch line. I get bored of the modern day comedians' constant desire to shock and offend, their need to insert religious/political opinions, and their incessant self deprecation. There's something to be said for just a nice set up and delivery. I can do without the comedians' personal baggage - just give me the jokes asshole. Quit trying to be Bill Hicks.

Here's a selection of jokes from Campbell's 1968 book Bedtime Stories for Adults. No need to worry about it being for adults, though - even by 1960's standards, it's absolutely filth free. Enjoy.



Teacher- Jake is the world round or flat?
Jake- My daddy says its crooked.

A traveling salesman stopped at a country store and saw a man playing checkers with, of all things, a dog. After watching a few minutes he said, "I think that's the smartest dog I ever saw". The man said, "Oh he ain't so smart, I beat him three out of five".

Joe- I passed by your house last night and saw you kissing your wife.
Bill- Ha ha, the joke's on you, 1 wasn't even home last night.

One Hippopotami
Allan Sherman
One hippopotami cannot get on a bus,
Because one hippopotami is two hippopotamus
And if you have two goose, that makes one geese
A pair of mouse is mice A pair of moose is meese

A paranoia is a bunch of mental blocks
And when Ben Casey meets Kildaire, that's called a paradox
When two minks fall in love, with all their heart and soul,
You'll find the plural of two minks is one mink stole

Singulars and plurals are so different, bless my soul
Has it ever occurred to you that the plural of half is whole?

A bunch of tooth is teeth a group of foot is feet
And two canaries make a pair, they call it a parakeet
A paramecium is not a pair
A parallelogram is just a crazy square

Nobody knows just what a paraphernalia is
And what is half a pair of scissors, but a single sciz?
With someone you adore, if you should find romance,
You'll pant, and pant once more, and that's a pair of pants!

An elderly, white-haired man walked into a jewellery store one Friday evening with a beautiful young blonde at his side.
He told the jeweller he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.

The jeweller looked through his stock and brought out a £5,000 ring. The old man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special."

At that statement, the jeweller went to his special stock and brought another ring over. "Here's a stunning ring at only £40,000," he said.

The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, "We'll take it."

The jeweller asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, "By cheque. I know you need to make sure my cheque clears so I'll write it now, and you can call the bank on Monday morning to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up on Monday afternoon," he said..

On Monday morning, the jeweller 'phoned the old man and said "Sir, there's no money in that account."

"I know," said the old man, "but let me tell you about my weekend!"

[InspireU] Portering Troubles

I love this reminder from Elizabeth Gilbert:
“Some years ago, I was stuck on a crosstown bus in New York City during rush hour. Traffic was barely moving. The bus was filled with cold, tired people who were deeply irritated with one another, with the world itself. Two men barked at each other about a shove that might or might not have been intentional. A pregnant woman got on, and nobody offered her a seat. Rage was in the air; no mercy would be found here.
But as the bus approached Seventh Avenue, the driver got on the intercom."Folks," he said, "I know you have had a rough day and you are frustrated. I can’t do anything about the weather or traffic, but here is what I can do. As each one of you gets off the bus, I will reach out my hand to you. As you walk by, drop your troubles into the palm of my hand, okay? Don’t take your problems home to your families tonight, just leave them with me. My route goes right by the Hudson River, and when I drive by there later, I will open the window and throw your troubles in the water."
It was as if a spell had lifted. Everyone burst out laughing. Faces gleamed with surprised delight. People who had been pretending for the past hour not to notice each other’s existence were suddenly grinning at each other like, is this guy serious?
Oh, he was serious.
At the next stop, just as promised, the driver reached out his hand, palm up, and waited. One by one, all the exiting commuters placed their hand just above his and mimed the gesture of dropping something into his palm. Some people laughed as they did this, some teared up but everyone did it. The driver repeated the same lovely ritual at the next stop, too. And the next. All the way to the river.
We live in a hard world, my friends. Sometimes it is extra difficult to be a human being. Sometimes you have a bad day. Sometimes you have a bad day that lasts for several years. You struggle and fail. You lose jobs, money, friends, faith, and love. You witness horrible events unfolding in the news, and you become fearful and withdrawn. There are times when everything seems cloaked in darkness. You long for the light but don’t know where to find it.
But what if you are the light? What if you are the very agent of illumination that a dark situation begs for?. That’s what this bus driver taught me, that anyone can be the light, at any moment. This guy wasn’t some big power player. He wasn’t a spiritual leader. He wasn’t some media-savvy influencer. He was a bus driver, one of society’s most invisible workers. But he possessed real power, and he used it beautifully for our benefit.
When life feels especially grim, or when I feel particularly powerless in the face of the world’s troubles, I think of this man and ask myself, What can I do, right now, to be the light? Of course, I can’t personally end all wars, or solve global warming, or transform vexing people into entirely different creatures. I definitely can’t control traffic. But I do have some influence on everyone I brush up against, even if we never speak or learn each other’s name. "No matter who you are, or where you are, or how mundane or tough your situation may seem, I believe you can illuminate your world. In fact, I believe this is the only way the world will ever be illuminated, one bright act of grace at a time, all the way to the river."~~

I like the one where these 2 Christians are die-hard baseball fans. They wonder if there is baseball in Heaven...so they figure whichever one dies first, they'd somehow get the word back to the one left behind.

A few months later, one of them dies...but it's several weeks before he
hears from his departed friend. He asked "What can you tell me??". His
friend said "I've got good news, and I've got bad news".

He said "Give me the good news first". He said there are gold bases, diamonds, everything, and no worry about getting your uniforms dirty.
Plus, the concession stands have every holsum food and drink you could
ever want".

His friend replied "Well, that is good news. But, there can't be any
bad news in Heaven"...to which he was told "they're going to call you

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get in the end of it? Death. What's that...a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards.

(1) You should die first, you know, start out dead, get it out of the way. You wake up in a an old age home, feeling better every day.

(2) You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

(3) You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, play golf, you're generally promiscuous (hey, you've only got a few years left, what's the big deal?!?) and you get ready for High School.

(4) Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, and, finally, you become a baby;

(5) The last step, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, larger quarters everyday, then you finish off as an orgasm!

A man wakes up in 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 huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it."

The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9,000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build you a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly $1,000 an inch."

The man perks up.

"So," the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want. But I understand that you have been married for over twenty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision."

The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.

The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?"

"Yes I have," says the man.

"And has she helped you make a decision?"

"Yes," says the man.

"So what is it going to be?" asks the doctor.

The man says, "We're getting new granite counter tops."

cent or dime, too,. for that matter! Wooden dollars are okay, as paper money comes from. . wood! (mostly linen(flax), actually)

And, notice that doesn't apply to any other coinage??

or "scold" as the bullies are being schooled?

I'm sometimes wonder if the panhandlers are being schooled on how to
beg at the traffic lights. I've seen them go off the corner, get into
a fancy car (i.e. a Lexus), and drive off. I've heard of them pulling
a gun on drivers, and they throw food on the ground. What they want is
money for drugs and alcoholic beverages, if not sex with the hookers.

1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor.

How many rounds of Jose Cuervo?? -- as the song goes.

At least he didn't have the panties on as well. <G>

How do you know? & why are all these women leaving their underbritches behind, anyway?! If I'm undressed somewhere (e.g. pool), I certainly
get redressed the same as I usually do -- with all compnents I started
the day with, in their usual place. I've never arrived home after a day
at the pool or beach, looking for my missing underwear!

For me and my late wife, it was like the country song "I've got all the
love a man could want, waiting for me at home". Now, if a member of the opposite sex gave us a hug or a kiss, we'd razz the crap out of each
other. <G>

I'm guessing he was explaining why je wanted to take his wife on a vacation to Iceland?

Walter said they visited the volcanoes, and his wife kept saying to
him "Stop trying to push me in!!". <G>

I pacifically axed you not to use that pun, I'm sure. . .

I've slept since then.

If you lend somebody $20 & then never see them again, it was worth it.

I'm so broke I can't pay attention.

My love for my wife is like the national debt.
It's enormous. It seems likes it's been around forever. It is growing every day. It's something that will be passed onto our children and grandchildren.

But, this is more beneficial. :)

My friend gets in debt and offers to work it off by redoing peoples' kitchens but I wouldn't accept his counter offer.
(I never accept money from a counter fitter.)

It was a phony job, anyway.

Someone recently told me being $30,000 dollars in credit card debt was
a bad thing.
If it is such a bad thing, why does my bank statement say "outstanding balance" below it?

Exactly.

Fair dinkum, mate.

I've got your fair dinkum right here. <G>

I'm not sure what dinkum is Latin for, but it must be reasonable. . .

No idea where that expression began -- I'd say don't take a wooden cent or dime, too,. for that matter! Wooden dollars are okay, as paper money comes from. . wood! (mostly linen(flax), actually)

And, notice that doesn't apply to any other coinage??

Kind of what I just said, mate! ;) I know, I now, you've slept since then!

I'm sometimes wonder if the panhandlers are being schooled on how to
beg at the traffic lights. I've seen them go off the corner, get into
a fancy car (i.e. a Lexus), and drive off. I've heard of them pulling
a gun on drivers, and they throw food on the ground. What they want is
money for drugs and alcoholic beverages, if not sex with the hookers.

Never assume, unless it is beneficially.

Most are just hungry, & have heard of this as a way of getting some extra money to buy food.

I used to be homeless & had to resort to panhandling on occasion (to avoid stealing)

In spite of what y'all were assuming, I was not seeking money for drugs, booze, or hookers. (I was offered a free hooker once, from a pimp who grew up near where I did, but I said no thanks.)

I was more hobo than bum -- traveled, willing to work anywhere at 'most anything in exchange for room, board, &/or currency of the realm.

I bummed rides, sure, cuz it was safer than hoping a grain train. . .

But I paid for my ride by helping keep the drivers awake through some or all of 2,000 miles of empty boring prairie. . . & I had some cassettes with good music which was a joy to those with limited supply of tapes in the car & terrible radio reception.

Of course, some old men in cadillacs wanted more 'personal' forms of payment. If the ruide was dependent on such, I got out there, otherwise, I said no thanks & rode in silence to my destination, beside an old perv willing(eager) to hit on a teenage kid who looked like he was 12 years old!

As they grew into the majority(*sigh*) of those stopping to pick me up, I began seeking new ways to get rides going long distances.

whoops, wrong echo. . .jokes & funnies. . . hmm. . .hobo. . .

1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor.

How many rounds of Jose Cuervo?? -- as the song goes.

All of them; I ain't no quitter!

For me and my late wife, it was like the country song "I've got all the love a man could want, waiting for me at home". Now, if a member of the opposite sex gave us a hug or a kiss, we'd razz the crap out of each
other. <G>

Sounds like how it'd go with mine & me. . . :D

I'm guessing he was explaining why je wanted to take his wife on a vacation to Iceland?

Walter said they visited the volcanoes, and his wife kept saying to
him "Stop trying to push me in!!". <G>

My thoery is the male leaders of a tribe ca,e up with that virgin into a volcano thing to help get nubile girls to willingly 'give it up'

mayor's son: Hey, Bethany, I heard you were going to be selected to be this year's sacrifice tot yhe volcano gods. I can guarantee that you won't be the one they toss into the burning fire & brimstone. . . but it requires a bit of sacrifice on your part, in gratitude, to me. . .

I pacifically axed you not to use that pun, I'm sure. . .

I've slept since then.

That's how it works for me, too, but I've never thought of saying so out loud. I'm going to start, though!

If you lend somebody $20 & then never see them again, it was worth it.

I'm so broke I can't pay attention.

I always say that,m sometimes.

You took the words right out of mny mouth. . . how unsanitary!

Back to hobos:

I invented a bouncing platform to help obese hobos lose weight.
I call it a Tramp o' Lean

Q: What do you call two hobos hitting each other with cardboard?
A: Pillow fight

If witches, drunks, and hobos show up at my doorstep, I can only assume it’s Halloween.
Because our family reunion was in April.

Did you hear about the fight between the two hobos yesterday? One bit off the other's nose!
What a senseless, scentless, centless act of violence.

Q: What is the difference between a businessman on a bike and hobo on a tricycle?
A: a tire / attire.

Some whales just started a music group
Its called the orchestra.

Ladies and gentleman, Hoboes and tramps, Cross-eyed beetles, And bow-legged ants. Pull up a seat, And sit on the floor.

I'm going to tell you a story I know nothing about.

One dark day, In the middle of the night. Two dead boys, They stood up to fight.

Back to back They faced each other. Drew their swords, And shot each other. The deaf policeman heard it all, She came to shoot those two dead boys.

Don't believe this lie is true? Go ahead, ask the blind man. He saw it, too.

and said to the old lady, "I know just what you're wanting. For $5.00 I'll have sex with you right over there in that rocking chair."

The old lady looked surprised but didn't say a word.

The old man continued, "For $10.00 I'll do it with you on that nice soft sofa over there, but for $20.00, I'll take you back to my room, light some candles, and give you the most romantic evening you've had in 20 years."

The old lady still says nothing but after a couple of minutes, starts digging down in her purse. She pulls out a wrinkled $20.00 bill and holds it up.

"So you want the nice romantic evening in my room?" says the old man.

"Get serious," she replies. "Four times in the rocking chair!"

A Swiss guy in New York is looking for directions, so he pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.

"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue to stare.

"Parlare Italiano?" No response.

The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."

"Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."

~#~ from my good mate, the ICE-Man:

Arctic Ice Report:
(Washington Post November '22)

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department from Consulate, at Bergen, Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
********************
I must apologize. I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post -- 99 years ago. Alarmist global warning even back then.

After 10 years, the wife starts to think their child looks a little odd, so she decides to do a
DNA test. She finds out that the kid is actually from completely different parents.

Wife: Honey, I have something very serious to tell you.

Husband: What's up?

Wife: According to DNA test results, this is not our child.

Husband: Well, don't you remember? When we were leaving the hospital that night, you
saw the baby had pooped his diaper. Then you said: Please go change the baby, I'll wait for
you here. So I went inside, got a clean one and left the messy one there.

Also, at any time, let me know if you're done with receiving these. Because you're a mate, I won't even charge you my usual $19.00

Please go change the baby, I'll wait for you here. So I went inside,

Sounds like the one that Yakov Smirnoff told. He noted this "baby

"A recent study shows that standing at work for long periods of time is bad for you, after earlier research indicated that sitting for too long

Work is also a nasty 4 letter word.

I saw where the 3G phone networks will be shutting down soon...and that eventually, they'll do the same to 4G, to try to get (force) folks to
upgrade to 5G. The thing is, not everyone has a ton of money lying
around to upgrade their phone on a whim. I'm a firm believer in "If it
ain't broke, don't fix it". Why folks have to always have the latest
and greatest item, is beyond me.

"Scientists believe the first modern Europeans mated with Neanderthals. This is the oldest evidence yet of beer goggles." -Conan O'Brien

They were probably drunk as coots as well.

"Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things: One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most
awful, filthy thing on earth, and you should save it for someone you love." -Butch Hancock

Sure looks that way. Next, it'll send pictures as you enter and leave

I would say so. However, at a nudist wedding, you can always tell who
the blind man is...because it's not hard.

"A new article states that millennials have terrible conversational skills. When asked for comment, millennials texted a series of crying frowny faces." -Conan O'Brien

George,

Trying this again. . .

If at first, you don't succeed...try, try again.
Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it. -- W.C. Fields <G>

If at first you don't succeed. . .
. . . then skydiving may not be the right hobby for you. . . . then try doing it the way your wife told you to in the first place. . . . hide all evidence that you even tried.

Also, at any time, let me know if you're done with receiving these.
Because you're a mate, I won't even charge you my usual $19.00
cancelation fee! ;)

$19?? What about depreciation?? Shouldn't it be 19 cents?? <g,d,r>

Actually, with inflation, it;s more like $119!

Husband: Well, don't you remember? When we were leaving the hospital
that night, you saw the baby had pooped his diaper. Then you said:
Please go change the baby, I'll wait for you here. So I went inside,
got a clean one and left the messy one there.

Sounds like the one that Yakov Smirnoff told. He noted this "baby
changing table" in the bathroom...so he said "you get to change the
baby for another one"...then he added "I'll bet you never look at it
that way". And of course, the whole room was roaring in laughter. <G>

There's a name fron 40 years ago! I remember him -- whatever happened to him?

This issue's quotable quoters:
"A man set a new world record after kicking himself in the head 134
times in one minute. He broke the previous record of zero." -Conan
O'Brien

Sounds like Denny Crum, one time Louisville basketball coach, who said something like "Our future lies ahead". What was your first clue?? :P

You ever have those people who say, "Here's a picture of me from when I was younger?"

EVERY picture of you is from when you were younger! -- American Philosopher G. Carlin(RIP)

"A recent study shows that standing at work for long periods of time is
bad for you, after earlier research indicated that sitting for too long
at work is bad for you. So really the only thing we know is, work is
bad for you." -Jimmy Fallon

Work is also a nasty 4 letter word.

The original 4-letter bad word, I always say, sometimes.

[I've been saying this next one for years, but HE gets the credit?!]

And, he's getting paid more money than you are.

Most are.

"The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you
can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't
laugh at it, it's probably deserved." --Russell Lynes

Just like the celebrity roasts...you can find a lot of those on YouTube.

I have a bnice set of the Comedy Central Roasts -- they're my fave. A new genre out now: Roast Battles.

There's the US, UK, & Canadian TV series.

That's how I first asw & fell in love with Sarah Tiana (southern girl -- nt all sugar & spice, but the most adorable little cheeks!)

I saw where the 3G phone networks will be shutting down soon...and that eventually, they'll do the same to 4G, to try to get (force) folks to
upgrade to 5G. The thing is, not everyone has a ton of money lying
around to upgrade their phone on a whim. I'm a firm believer in "If it
ain't broke, don't fix it". Why folks have to always have the latest
and greatest item, is beyond me.

It's simlpe: in the olden daze, the nobility(corporate CEOs in today's world) taxed the heck out of people's hard work, to ensure a constant flow of their production into their own treasuries. Those who refused, were executed as examples to the rest.

Now they want you to buy whatever crap they've dreamed up for the same purpose, because now only the government can tax you (& it's slower getting your money that way, for the modern nobility)

So they poison the foods & meds the poor people take (execution, because they didn't produce enough to buy the better stuff)

ALL the antidepressants covered by HMOs & socialist governments cause the takers to visualize themselves committing suicide. (true story: "suicidal ideation" usually not understood by those who even bother reading the monographs)

"Scientists believe the first modern Europeans mated with Neanderthals.
This is the oldest evidence yet of beer goggles." -Conan O'Brien

They were probably drunk as coots as well.

Beer goggles = satirical reference to being drunk (she looks better when youre drunk = the goggles are working)

Or the guy who was at a bar drinking a long time.

Every time the bartender would ask if he'd like another drink (triple bourbon, triple tequila as a chaser) the guy would lift a photo from his pocket, look at it & say, "Sure, I'm still good."

Finally the bartendeer got achance to ask gimi what that was about.

"It's a photo of my wife," he answered, "I came in here to get drunk. Soon as she starts looking good, I'm done."

"Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things: One is that God loves you
and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most
awful, filthy thing on earth, and you should save it for someone you
love." -Butch Hancock

Might likewise work for Provo, Utah (home of DryBar comedy -- 100% clean standup; free on YouTube)

Never mind a hot time in the old town tonight.

Not in Lubbock, apparently!

"You know those little robot vacuums called Roombas? The company that
makes them says that Roombas have the capability to map out your home
while they clean it, and it's planning to sell that information to
Amazon and Google. We all thought that the Roomba was just vacuuming;
turns out it was casing the joint." -James Corden

Sure looks that way. Next, it'll send pictures as you enter and leave
the shower, naked as a jaybird.

Not me -- no market for naked pics of this big ol' old guy! (oh, right, Rule 34, so maybe there is)

"This was a little controversial: Pope Francis recently said that the
majority of modern Catholic marriages are worthless because couples
don't always mean it when they say they'll love each other forever. And
that's the last time Pope Francis was ever asked to give a best man
speech." -Jimmy Fallon

I would say so. However, at a nudist wedding, you can always tell who
the blind man is...because it's not hard.

Is it easy to identify a blind guy at a nudist colony? . . .it's not hard.

knock on door whjere the nuns were painting the room while nude, so as not to soil their habits.

"Who is it?" one asked.
"Blind guy."
"She opened the door, figuring what harm.
"Wow! Looking good, sisters. Where do you want these blinds?"

"A new article states that millennials have terrible conversational
skills. When asked for comment, millennials texted a series of crying
frowny faces." -Conan O'Brien

That's the new language...although BBSing had first dibs on it with emoticons.

Yup -- I used to colect & share lists, including putting my own down.

|<+]:-{)} (the Cyberpopicon)

I started signing as +-:-) until somneonepointed out that Popers wear a mitre & she showed me an example for asacii art: <+]. I had to agree & immediately updated my signatures. . .

I later added the kippa(aka yarmulke) when I became Jewish to denote my recognition that God is always over me.

"So you want the nice romantic evening in my room?" says the old man.
"Get serious," she replies. "Four times in the rocking chair!"

Never mind rock around the cock. :P

She wasn't wasting her time. . .

cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, but though we say
mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his
and him, but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

Semantics and details.

are what make English so much fun -- Other olanguages borrow woreds; English chasers other languages down blind alleys, beat the cvrap out of them & rifle through their pockets loking for any loose particles or gerunds!

In south Florida, if you don't know Spanish, you'll have a hard time
getting around.

As I've heard -- pretty ignorant, if you ask me, for stores to be operated in Spanish, when the nation is English(still the mahorty, by an ever slimmer margin)

Here in Richmond, in the last two censuses (censi?) more than 50% of the residents are Chinese. But when _I_ try to claim minority benefits, I'm, apparently, an arsehole!

Think about it: the first athlete to take a knee was Tanya Harding!
(~#~adapted from a Sid Davis joke)

I thought it was Nancy Kerrigan.

Nancy Kerrigan got the damaged knee, no? Thus Tanya took her out, via the knee?

. . . then skydiving may not be the right hobby for you. . . . then try doing it the way your wife told you to in the first place. . . . hide
all evidence that you even tried.

The meme I liked was where this guy is confronted by "The Grim Reaper"
on the street. He tells the poor soul "that fancy expensive item you had ordered was delivered to your home while your wife was at work, and she
signed for it. Do you want to go home and face the music, or just come
with me now??". <G>

Actually, with inflation, it;s more like $119!

Or as Jerry Reed's song "Lord, Mister Ford", noted...

"Well, I figured it up, and over a period of time, this $4000 car of
mine cost $14,000 and 99 cents". <G>

There's a name fron 40 years ago! I remember him -- whatever happened
to him?

I don't know...but he was originally from Russia, and he emigrated to the
US. He had a show in Branson, at his own theatre...and it was all G-rated entertainment.

You ever have those people who say, "Here's a picture of me from when I was younger?"

Not that I can recall.

EVERY picture of you is from when you were younger! -- American Philosopher G. Carlin(RIP)

This is true. I've got a picture on my Facebook profile of our late
parents, my brother and myself. It was Christmas Day, 1962...my brother
had just turned 1, and I would turn 3 in March. I think my Mom and Dad
were only 37 at the time...they were born 40 days apart...Mom was the
older one...but she lived 12 1/2 years longer than my Dad.

I have a nice set of the Comedy Central Roasts -- they're my fave. A
new genre out now: Roast Battles.

Now they want you to buy whatever crap they've dreamed up for the same purpose, because now only the government can tax you (& it's slower getting your money that way, for the modern nobility)

Why does the saying "Don't lie, cheat, and steal!! The government hates competition!!" come to mind??

So they poison the foods & meds the poor people take (execution,
because they didn't produce enough to buy the better stuff)

That's what they seem to be doing today with Covid-19...they're saying
the unvaccinated are dying, but from what I've seen, it's the other way around.

ALL the antidepressants covered by HMOs & socialist governments cause
the takers to visualize themselves committing suicide. (true story: "suicidal ideation" usually not understood by those who even bother reading the monographs)

I am reminded from the deal on "The Fat Bible", where mankind basically listened to Satan, and gorged himself with all the high fat and high cholesterol foods. The last 3 lines went like this:

And, man went into cardiac arrest.

And, God created quadruple bypass surgery.

And, Satan created HMO's. <G>

Beer goggles = satirical reference to being drunk (she looks better
when youre drunk = the goggles are working)

First time I've ever heard the term.

"It's a photo of my wife," he answered, "I came in here to get drunk.
Soon as she starts looking good, I'm done."

Wonder how long it took to get what he wanted.

"She opened the door, figuring what harm.

college. I can read it, but I can't speak it, as it were.

Nancy Kerrigan got the damaged knee, no? Thus Tanya took her out, via
the knee?

Or it was Tonya's boyfriend who did the dirty deed?? Whatever happend to
all of them??

That seems cheap, compared to tyhe usuasl cost oof ongoing maintenance trying to fight the built in obsolescence. Buy a Honda -- a 10-year-old Honda sells for close to what a new one does, because they don't go down in real(vs imputed) value. Buy a new one for the warranties & sell it after 2 years & repeat.

True -- you wouldn't olike the full roasts -- the only rule is no physical contact -- nothing in spoken word is off limits. (but, of course, the goal is to be the funniest one, so that has built in limitations, as far as relying exclusively on vulgarities.)

Jon: There's no need to be afraid of flying -- after all, you'll only die when it's your time to go, wherever you are, in a plane or on the ground. Don: Fair enough, but I don't care to be in a plane when it's the pilot's time to go!

Also: They say flying in a plane is safer than driving a car, but at least I know if & when my engine falls out of a car, I don't have 7 miles to go to reach land!

Plane is in emergency landing mode. Seatmate on window side sees a bunch of ambulance & firetruck lights flashing & asks, "Where do you suppose they are going?" Me: All the way to the scene of the crash, I'm guessing. [moral: Don't interrupt me when I'm reading on a flight to ask a dumb question]

Same, but Iu mamage, so I'm not so bad yet. . .plus I've been steadily losing 1lb/week for almost a year now.

It's basic math: fat = energy, stored. calories = energy

To lose weight one must either reduce calories or increase activity (to increase outpout of calories); physical exercise isn't an option for my semi- paralyzed self, so I've had to crack down on how & how much I eat -- it's obviously working!

The difference between the engineer, the physicist, and the mathematician.. The engineer believes equations approximate reality.. The physicist believes reality approximates equations.. The mathematician has no idea what the other two are talking about.

Me: Roses are red. Violets are blue. Math is hard, and so I am.

Her: I wish you were my differential equations homework... because if you were, you would be hard and I would be doing you on my desk.

Me: Well, I'm awfully glad you're not *my* differential equations homework... because if you were, you would be 6 weeks late.

George,

You took the words right out of my mouth -- how bloody unsanitary!

It wasn't easy reaching between those molars. Besides, you have to be
kind to your dentist, as he has fillings, too. <G>

I use that line regularly & honestly. . . (I have ADHD, too--they're
not related, but it works)

Christian Comedian Mark Lowery refers to it now as ADD...he says he
doesn't have the memory to worry about the H. <G>

You'll have to explain that one.

A Pee Queue.

OK, that clears that up. It's like the meme that noted "I've absorbed
so much hand sanitizer, that when I pee, I clean the toilet". <G>

If necessary -- it do help disperse the evil. I bought a mini 4"fan
from Amazon that I leave running in the bathroom 24/7 -- helps a LOT, especially with reducing the stifling heat in summer or when the
furnace comes on too often in the winter. . . (sam,e size vent to give enough heat to keep the big living room warm as for the little
bathroom)

If you see a bear coming out of the woods with a newspaper, and he warns
you to not go in there... <G>

Same, but I mamage, so I'm not so bad yet. . .plus I've been steadily losing 1lb/week for almost a year now.

I wish I could say the same.

It's basic math: fat = energy, stored. calories = energy

Too bad you can't fart away fat. <G>

To lose weight one must either reduce calories or increase activity (to
increase outpout of calories); physical exercise isn't an option for
my semi- paralyzed self, so I've had to crack down on how & how much I
eat -- it's obviously working!

Finances have cut me to 1 lunch meat sandwich twice a day...not very nutritious.

Q: What do you call a person who uses algebraic equations to calculate coffin sizes? A: A mathemortician.

I heard of a guy being pursued by a possessed casket in a haunted house.
So, he threw a bottle of Robitussion at it, and the coffin stopped.

Me: Roses are red. Violets are blue. Math is hard, and so I am.

At my bridal shower, it was "Violets are purple. Roses are red. When
Daryl is blue...Jan, head for the bed". I was never so embarrassed in
all my life...severely blushing as well. :P

Her: I wish you were my differential equations homework... because if
you were, you would be hard and I would be doing you on my desk.

Now that really adds up. <G>

Me: Well, I'm awfully glad you're not *my* differential equations homework... because if you were, you would be 6 weeks late.

Go online, google up Mynetdiary & start there -- put in every food you eat.

It starts by figuring out what your maintenanve level in calories is (to keep yourself exactly whgere you are, then you pick how fast you want to lose weight (1lb/week is recommended by doctors as max healthy rate), how much total (start with 10% of body weight, as they say 10% will effect healthful changes you'll notice. I went with more, as I was nmorbidly obese when I started & needed to get to work asap.

Eaxch dasy it'll show you your total allocated, & a running total f how much you've eaten so far & what that leaves, in calories -- it helps you make wise choices real quickly.

Soon enough you gert into better habits & get full sooner, with less, & desire healthier foods (you can check any food you put in for a grade A to D-)

It's basic math: fat = energy, stored. calories = energy

Nope - you m ight want to explore others -- I managed, for a while, as a single, on under $1/day. Bulk food stores helped immensely.

Don't be afraid to feel hunger for a bit each day -- this is a sign your body is eating excess fat, & your stomach is shrinking (less greedy for more)

At my bridal shower, it was "Violets are purple. Roses are red. When

There are a few creatures that never have those "audio tests of their solid waste disposal systems" -- mostly mollusks & fleas.

The bedbugs, after they bite you, poop out blood. A bunch of dots on
your bedding or mattress (known as "freckles") is a sign of infestation.
Only very high temperatures or special insecticides will kill them. And,
you don't want them coming home with you from vacation.

Q: Where do veggies go after they get off the airplane? A: To Cabbage Claim!

There is a type of diesel locomotive that Amtrak uses that has doors in
the sides of it, behind the cab control of the engine. They apparently
swapped most of the traction motors out for baggage compartments, so the locomotive is known as "cabbage" for "cab" and "baggage". They are used
mainly in Amtrak's California Service.

Q: How did John and Yoko get their son to eat his veggies? A: "Sean,

There was a commercial years ago for a vegetable band. Two of the
instruments were rutabega and a bass brocoli (sp?). They'll play the
theme song "Yes, We Have No Bananas", and then we'll eat our instruments.

This guy wants to try one, so he's handed a stalk of celery. He blows
it like a flute, and is told "you strum it"...then the teacher growls "Beginners". <G>

Here, podiatrists aren't covered at all, as they opted out of the government insurance plan.

There's a yruye srory(8suypoposedly; I wasn't there) of a podiatrrist who submitted more billing than any other in the state; a Medicare investigator checked him out; turns out he was puutting in a biling code for surgically removing part of the toe to get paid for toe trimming.

It's amazing how many doctors and pharmacists, are doing fraudulent things. Covid-19 has resulted in a lot of staffing shortages...and what was a 24 hour pharmacy has drastically cut back their hours.

is now at home down with Covid-19. She is one of many with the belief of
"Rules For Thee, But Not For Me"...which to me, makes her a hypocritical
liar. She had sowed the wind, so she's now reaping the whirlwind...plus,
she's double vaccinated and boostered (or so she says)...but it throws cold water all over the deal that "only the unvaccinated are getting Covid-19".

Nobodyt says that, who's speaking from the POV of science & medicine.

The vaccine is only claimed to be ~95% effective. After all is said & done we'll likely find that about 5% of the vaccinated caught covid.

Buytt he media loves to try to create an issue where tyherte isn't one, so they'
ll skew the facts by focusing where they want & use big bold headlines for the 5% & omit talking about the 95%.

The unvaxxed are 0% protected. This virus infects about 3.5% of the people it hits, to a dangerous point.

I'm happy to take away most windows in my immune system it might sneak through. . .

I rarely season my food, but all the processed foods are drowning in it. Whenever my wife and I would order pizza, she would say "I want every anchovy you have in the place"...and I told her "You can have those nasty things".

I've read that if you add zero salt to your food, you'll still, on average, wind up with 95X your RDA over the year!

I've never added salt to my food, whether cooking it, or on the plate.

Quie content with the tate of my food. I prefer the philosophy that good cooking involves using FOOD to make the food & to make it tasty. Using MSG & a plethora of other salts is "cheating" IMO. & indicative of a crappy chef.

I love roast beef any way I can get it within budget & cooked medium-rare.

Can't generally afford a roast beef big enough to have more than one sandwich each, for the whole fam damily, from leftovers.

Even if you don't know who Jackie Gleason was. Hollywood Squares - Those were the days. Hard to believe they did not know the questions beforehand! Squares' game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted.

Q. What are: 'Do It,' 'I Can Help,' and 'I Can't Get Enough'? A. George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the apartment next door.

Q. As you grow older, do you tend to
gesture more or less with your hands while talking?
A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question, Peter, and I'll give you a gesture you'll never forget.

Q. Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather? A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

Q. Charley, you've just decided to grow
strawberries. Are you going to get any during the first year?
A. Charley Weaver: Of course not, I'm too busy growing strawberries.

Q. In bowling, what's a perfect score? A. Rose Marie: Ralph, the pin boy.

Q. According to Ann Landers, is there anything wrong with getting into the habit of kissing a lot of people?
A. Charley Weaver: It got me out of the army.

Q. Back in the old days, when Great Grandpa put horseradish on his head, what was he trying to do?
A. George Gobel: Get it in his mouth.

Q. Who stays pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your elephant? A. Paul Lynde: Who told you about my elephant?

O0kau, let's begin with current events. . . Russia has invaded Ukraine, to annex their gas-rich territory. (8sorry -- to keep the world safe from Nazi-ism) Oh, yes, Russia, the promise of the Communist Dream, as it was in the '80s - you remember, right?

A conversation perhaps in later 1985, between Gorbaschev, & a soon-to-be- missing brave/stupid/suicidal man in the crowd:

G: Comrades: I have good news -- if all the potatoes of our crop this year werew to be piled up, they'd reach all the way to Heaven.

m: But, sir, you've taught us (under penalty of death, mind you) that there ain't no Heaven.

G: That's okay, because there ain't no potatoes, neither! *signals to KGB*

Yes, & they want Ukraine to have this 'dream', too. It's called "The Communist Dream," because you have to be asleep to believe it!

A little Rowan Atkinson for you, when he's not doing the Bean thing, apparently he's hating on the French neighbours of his country:

We offered kindly to donate them calais, But all they gave us back was the bidet, And now they won't let us go on holiday. That's why i hate the french, mmm,
That's why i hate the french.

They all wear berets and they're all called jacques. They even steal from us the words they lack: "le weekend", "le camping" and "cul-de-sac". That's why i hate the french,&#65279;oh, That's why i hate the french.

They claim their films are the best we've ever had; Well, i suppose emmanuelle wasn't bad. Charles aznavour is always so depressed; Wouldn't you be if "oui, oui" meant "yes"?

Sacha distel has raindrops falling on his head. I wonder if jean-paul sartre knows he is dead? What i resent is that they're so good in bed. That's why i hate the french, oh,
That's why i hate the french.

They bake their bread in such a naughty shape. They brag about their wine and worship the grape. They criticise our food but then they eat crêpe. That's why i hate the french, oh,
That's why i hate the french.

And now they've started coming here in droves. French cigarettes, french letters and french clothes. I'm sick and tired of eating all this brie And i'll be buggered if i go to gay paris.

They're pretty cocky 'bout their games in the dark. They think with girls they light a special spark But look what the bastards did to joan of arc. That's why i hate the french, oh,
That's why i hate the french, mmm,
That's why i hate the french.

Are two year olds REALLY so bad?

L;et's do as the scientists do, & do a twins study; checking in on a neighbour who has identical twins, 15 months old, argying with each other: T1: You're ugly
T2: No, YOU are ugly!
T1: Well, you're uglier!
T2: No way, YOU are the ugliest in the whole world! [continues in the same vein for another ten minutes until mama's teacup goes dry, & she screams, "YOU'RE F*CKING IDENTICAL TWINS, YOU MONSTERS!! NOW SHUT UP AND GET ALONG BEFORE I WRAP BOTH YOUR MOUTHS IN PACKING TAPE!"]

Much thanks to my AR-Kansas mate, Daryl Stout for this one:

What did Tennessee?? The same thing Arkansas...her name was Mrs. Ippi, and her daughter is Miss Sooree. They came from the breezy airport in central Oklahoma...where the wind comes sweeping down the plane...because the Texas were too big to the south. And, if there's any doubt further northwest, Alaska, and see what she says...but when I asked "Hawaii", she replied "OK". And, that's my stately humor for today.

Just listening to thisright now on the radio; well written, well performed, & punny like I like:

It was April the 41st
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving through downtown Atlantis My Barracuda was in the shop, so
I was in a rented Stingray
And it was overheating
So I pulled into a Shell station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it Okay, pal?"
While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar A real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said, "Hi, Gil!"
You hafta yell, he's hard of herring Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Wet dream
Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water I gullied up to the sandbar He poured the usual
Rusty snail, hold the grunion, shaken, not stirred With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side Heavy on the mako I slipped him a fin, on porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids For the halibut Well, the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines
They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal What sole Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna Salmon Chanted Evening And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers Probably there to see the bass player One of them was this cute little yellowtail And she's giving me the eye
So I figure, this is my chance for a little fun You know -- a piece of Pisces But she said things I just couldn't fathom She was too deep
Seemed to be under a lot of pressure Boy, could she drink
She drank like a... she drank a lot I said, "What's your sign?"
She said, "Aquarium"
I said, "Great! Let's get tanked."
Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Wet dream
I invite her up to my place for a little midnight bait I say, "C'mon baby, it'll only take a few minnows" She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I got a haddock"
And she wasn't kiddin' either
'Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels
He came over to me,
He said, "Listen shrimp
Don't you come trolling around here" What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes
I turned to him
I said, "Abalone! You're just being shellfish" Well, I knew there was going to be trouble And so did Gil
'Cause he was already on the phone to the cods
The haddock hits me with a sucker punch I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke
But there he was, lying on the deck Flat as a mackerel
Kelpless
I said, "Forget the cods, Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed
With the way I landed her boyfriend She came over to me, she said
"Hey big boy, you're really a game fish" "What's your name?"
I said, "Marlin"
Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Wet dream
Well from then on, we had a whale of a time I took her to dinner
I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble?
A case of the clams
Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' through the Gulf Stream
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Wet dream

A Baptist pastor was presenting a children's sermon.

During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was.

Asking questions during children's sermons is crucial. Asking children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous.

After the pastor asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand. The pastor called on him And the little boy said, "I'm not sure, but I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor."

He said, "Up until Last week, I still had it all! All my meals were prepared for me, my room was cleaned, my clothes were washed, pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV, internet, I went to the gym, the pool, the library, I could still go to school."

Larry's barn burned down and his wife, Susan, called the insurance company.

Susan spoke to the insurance agent and said, "We had that barn insured for fifty thousand, and I want my money."

The agent replied, "Whoa there, just a minute. Insurance doesn't work quite like that. An independent adjuster will assess the value of what was insured, and then we'll provide you with a new barn of similar worth."

There was a long pause, and then Susan replied, "If that's how it works, then I want to cancel the life insurance policy on my husband."

Two hunters were relaxing in their lodge, making small talk.

One of them asked, "So, what do you hunt?"

"Unicorns," came the surprising answer.

Startled, the first hunter gasped, "Really? How do the hell do you do that?"

"Well, I find a virgin and hire her to help me. They're the only thing that attracts unicorns. I have her wait in the woods until a unicorn comes up to her. When it does, it sets off a snare."

The first hunter sighed, "Boy, they must be hard to find. I've heard of 'em, but I've never seen one."

A small boy stunned his parents after church one Sunday when he began to empty his pockets of nickels, dimes, and quarters.

Finally his mother asked the obvious question: "Where did you get all that money?"

"At Sunday school," the boy replied enthusiastically. "They got bowls of it!"

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me Life, between the
legs of me wife!"

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best toast of the night."

She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?"

John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man
chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about
you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been in
there twice in the last four years. Once I had to pull him by the ears to make him come and

~# from the world-famous ICE-Man: #~

The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in Phoenix . He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Phoenix was full of pigeon poop. The people of Phoenix could not walk on the sidewalks, or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and sidewalks clean. One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition.
'I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons
without any cost to the city. But, you must promise not to ask me any questions, or you can pay me one million dollars to ask one question.' The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.. The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall, opened his coat, and released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue Arizona sky. All the pigeons in Phoenix saw the blue pigeon and gathered up in the air behind the blue pigeon. The Phoenix pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she flew southward out of the city. The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man atop City Hall. The Mayor was very impressed. He felt the man and the blue pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid Phoenix of the plague of pigeons. Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the mayor presented him with a check for 1 million dollars and told the man that, indeed, he did have a question to ask and even though they had agreed to no fee and the man had rid the city of pigeons, he decided to pay the 1 million just to get to ask ONE question. The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his ONE question. Do you think
the Mayor is going to ask how the blue pigeon led all the pigeons away?
Do you think
the Mayor is going to ask where all the pigeons went? Do you think
He is going to ask where the man got the blue pigeon? Nooooooo!
This will get a smile out of you!
The mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Mexican?"

I needed to do the laundry,

but then I realized I was out of detergent,

so I went to write a shopping list and realized how unorganized the junk drawer was,

When I went to toss all the junk,

I saw that the trash was full but before I took it out I wanted to get rid of old food in the fridge.

That's when I realized a juice jug had leaked so I needed to clean it up but when I went to grab a rag,

It'll depend on the temperature of the mirror -- recent research suggests it's not the colour itself they adapt to, but the underlying colour.

I love when my jokes or puns get secondary life. . .

I'm a stinker; if asked to translate I'd likely have said, "Manure takes place" & keep on coming up with a new pair of synonyms until they clue in, or as is more usual, someone else gives it away! *at which I say, "Dammit, I could've got 3 more in before she got it!"

I tend to always bushwhack when asked to translate my punny euphemisms, like, on hearing a bad person has left town, I'll say, "G.F.R." & translate it to just "Good riddance."

This way they can't get offended, because only they supply the so-called offensive element.

& when I tel one of these stuck up prigs to "get bent" & they are dumb enough to ask what that means, I say, "Imagine you don't just look & act like a hippo or rhino, but you smell like one in heat, & a male of the species is running towards you, & you have a wardrobe malfunction & are standing there, bent, with no clothes on. . .

Some ethnic jokes reworded
Shout out to Prime Minister Justin True-Dope of Canada Q: Did you hear about the politician Santa Claus? A: He showed up for Easter!
Q: How many politicians do you need to shingle your roof? A: Just 9, if you slice them real thin
& just one more. . .
An Irishman, an Italian and a politician are on death row, awaiting electrocution.
The warden takes the first man, and asks him if he has any last words.
He says, 'I'm
innocent. Perhaps years from now, evidence will show I"m telling the truth'.
The warden says, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what they all say. I was
hoping you would say
something so that the family of the man that you killed, would have some closure'.
They strap the Irishman into the chair, and the warden tells them to
throw the switch.
Nothing happens. The executioner wiggles the handle, throws the switch
again, nothing.
The warden comes down, and says, 'That was a million to one chance; but,
you know the
rules, you survived the execution, so you will now go free'.
The Irishman is ecstatic, gets up shakes the warden's hand, and says,
'See, I told you! God
has saved me because I'm innocent! I will dedicate the rest of my life, to helping spread the
word of god, I will only do good works from now on Thank you, sir, I'm very lucky to have had
this second chance in life'.
Then they walk the Italian in; again the warden asks if he has any final words.
The Italian says, 'I'm an innocent; yoosa making a big mistake'.
The warden shakes it off, and says, 'Yeah, I've heard that one
before'.
They strap him into the chair, and throw the switch. Again, nothing,
again and again.
The warden comes in, and says, 'This is amazing; this the second time in
a row that this has
happened; it has to be a billion to one chance. It must be a sign from god that you're telling
the truth. I'm sorry I doubted you. You may go free'.
The Italian gets up, joyful, tear in his eyes, and says, 'Thanka you
thanka you thanka you!
I'a wasa so ascared, anda yet, chance hasa smiled ona me! He gets up and leaves.
Then they bring in the politician. The warden again asks, 'Do you have
any final words?'
The politician says, 'Yes. But first, look, that chair is unplugged'.

John asked his fellow recent college Freshman where he's been for the past few weeks.

"I met a woman & she's FANTASTIC!" answered Jake.

"Awesome," responded his friend, "tell me about her."

"She's beautiful and sexy and we get along so very well!"

"Yeah? How old is she?"

"About 15 years older than us."

"Duuude! I get it -- May-December romances are wonderful for December, because May is young, fresh, like spring, but what do YOU get out of December?"

"Christmas!" Jake said, with a cheeky, knowing, grin.

You know youÆre over 50 when you have æupstairs ibuprofenÆ and ædownstairs ibuprofenÆ.

How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life, whenàthe rabbit is always jumping but only lives for around two years, and the turtle that doesnÆt exercise at all, lives over 200 years. So, rest, chill, eat, drink, and enjoy life!

I too was once a male trapped in a female bodyàbut then my mother gave birth.

If only vegetables smelled as good as bacon.

When I lost the fingers on my right hand in a freak accident, I asked the doctor if I would still be able to write with it. He said, ôProbably, but I wouldnÆt count on it.ö

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise. But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.

Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their life has clearly never had two candy bars fall down at once from a vending machine.

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing,

and I said, "Nothing."

The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case.

Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

from Reddit:

I used to work at an outdoor gear retailer selling camping gear, boats, bikes, rock climbing gear. Kind of like an REI, but a smaller local store. This lady comes in asking if we have bear bells. The idea of bear bells is that they make a light jingle sound, so hopefully the bears will hear that and avoid you because they tend to avoid confrontation. So she gets a large amount of bear bells. I assume she just has a large family. After I check her out, she asks,

ôSo, how do you get the bell on the bear?ö

I reply, ôExcuse me?ö

ôHow do I get the bell on the bear so I know when itÆs nearby?ö

[They walk among us & they VOTE!!!]

Not for you, if you're December getting some May, hoo-boy! winner! winner! Lovin' dinner!

Joke I found on Reddit:

I'm in an age gap relationship.
I'm 40, she's 19.

Anyway, we went out for a meal, as soon as we walked in the restaurant people shot me dirty looks, then the whispering started "nonce", "pervert" "paedo.

My girlfriend got upset and we left.

Completely spoilt our 10th anniversary.

My feet are always cold -- socks sounds good, actually!

Everybody has holes in their socks. That's how you get them over your feet.

Q: What kind of socks do Pandas wear? A: None, they have bear feet.

Q: What did the hat say to the sock? A: I'll go on a head, & you can follow, on foot.

Did you hear about the sock divorce? One always had to be right, and so the other left.
