Tim decided to tie the knot with his long time girlfriend.

One evening, after the honeymoon, he was organizing his golfing equipment. His wife was standing nearby watching him.

After a long period of silence she finally speaks. "Honey, I've been thinking, now that we're married maybe it's time you quit golfing. You spend so much time on the course. You could probably get a good price for your clubs."

Tim gets this horrified look on his face.

She says, "Darling, what's wrong?"

"For a minute there you were sounding like my ex-wife."

"Ex wife!" she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!"

"I wasn't," he replied.

A wife asked her husband, "Honey, could you please run to the store and get a carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get a dozen."

A while later the husband returned with a case of quart milk cartons.

Staring incredulously at the 12-pack case of milk, his wife asked, "Why the hell did you buy so much milk?"

Her husband said, "They had eggs."
[makes sense to me!]

I was working in a scrap yard during summer vacation at engineering university. I used to work repairing construction equipment.

One afternoon, I was taking apart a piling hammer that had some very large bolts holding it together. One of the nuts had corroded on to the bolt; to free it I started heating the nut with an oxy-acetylene torch. As I was doing this, one of the dimmest apprentices I have ever known came along. He asked me what I was doing. I patiently explained that if I heated the nut it would grow larger and release its grip on the bolt so I could then remove it.

"So things get larger when they get hot, do they?" he asked.

Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind. "Yes," I said, "that's why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter."

There was a long pause, then his face cleared. "You know, I always wondered about that," he said.

After years being away from the Church a man begins to feel the spiritual pull again, so he decides to go to confession. He pulls aside the curtain on the confessional box, enters and sits himself down.

Inside there is an over-stuffed leather armchair next to a little mini-bar equipped with crystal glasses, the best vestry wine, imported beer on ice, cigars and a box of liqueur chocolates.

He hears a priest enter the other side of the box. "Father, forgive me. It's been a very long time since I've been to confession and I must admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be."

The priest replies, "Get out of there, you idiot. You're on my side!"

-= 6 =-
I was at the customer-service desk, returning a pair of jeans that was too tight.

"Was anything wrong with them?" the clerk asked.

"Yes," I said. "They hurt my feelings."

-= 7 =-
When I was younger I worked in a Mom and Pop convenience store. A woman came into the store and walked straight up to me without even shopping and asked if I had baby nipples.

I told her, "no ma'am, mine are fully grown."

Luckily she got a kick out of it and I sold her the nipples for her baby bottles.

I just had a physical. The doctor said don't eat anything fatty.

I said, "Like bacon and cheeseburgers?"

He said, "No, Fatty, don't eat anything!"

My wife and I had just finished a meal at one of our local restaurants when I realized I'd left my wallet at home. As the wife headed to the door to retrieve her purse from the car, she told the waitress what had happened, adding, "But don't worry, I'm leaving my husband for collateral."

The waitress took one look at me and told her, "What else you got?"

George,

Been working through a backlog of my sources, so here's another edition
on top of my earlier one:

You're on a roll...not sure if it's sweet...or if you're just bageling for attention. <G>

"Ex wife!" she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!"

"I wasn't," he replied.

He has a button that says I.R.S. <G>

"Two passengers on a flight to Ibiza over the weekend reportedly had
sex while in their seats. And nobody was more upset than the guy in the middle." -Seth Meyers

Talk about a mile high threesome. :P

"Scientists have been able to create baby mice from freeze-dried mouse sperm that was kept on the International Space Station. When asked
about it, the astronauts said, 'Wait a minute, so that WASN'T ice
cream?'" -Conan O'Brien

<BLEAH!> Or did they come up with that on the sperm of the moment, and
I guess the reply got ejaculated...from a rather teste call. Or did they
have the balls for it, say the whole thing was just nuts, and they felt
rather peckerish about it?? (Yes, I'm in one of my nether moods this
morning <G>).

"A rare fish normally found only in the Amazon was caught yesterday in
a New Jersey pond. Researchers believe the fish got to New Jersey the
same way as everyone else: by giving up." -Seth Meyers

He should have looked for a cow put out to pasture...an Old Jersey. <G>

"A new study found that most people can't go 10 minutes without lying.

Life and one's friends can seem so boring at times.

Milked that one for the breast of times, and had good mammaries from the titilating experience. <G>

born late, late to his wedding, and will be late to his funeral.

In his pocket, of course! He's evil, not stupid.

"Two passengers on a flight to Ibiza over the weekend reportedly had sex while in their seats. And nobody was more upset than the guy in the middle." -Seth Meyers

Talk about a mile high threesome. :P

I'd've offered to switch seats to let rthem accommmodate each other better -- what do I care how they enjoy each other or when? But I dn't want anything extra in my drink, for sure, so being in the middle wouldn't work for me.

<BLEAH!> Or did they come up with that on the sperm of the moment, and
I guess the reply got ejaculated...from a rather teste call. Or did they have the balls for it, say the whole thing was just nuts, and they felt rather peckerish about it?? (Yes, I'm in one of my nether moods this

I tried to go through the checkout line that noted "10 items or less". But, they wouldn't let me go through, because I had a dozen eggs.

Only one bar code, though, so it's legitimately one item.

Prank: fill your buggy/cart to the brim & piled as high as possible; go up to a person in line who has ONE item, & ask, "Do you mind if I go in front of you, please? I'm in a hurry."

George,

I'm partial to chocolate-whipped cream rolls, myself.

I used to devour a dozen chocolate iced donuts...but I've given up
tea, caffeine, chocolate, candy, etc. -- and the downside of that is
caffeine withdrawl, and my migraines are back.

& why is New Zealand still allowed to call itself "new"?

Same thing with New Mexico.

& B-lame G-ame, when it's time she Tees up her own responsibility.

So few want to accept responsibility. That's like the 2 brothers
fighting, and one tells their parents "he hit me first after I hit
him back". I think they both got spanked.

Q: Howdo you get a one-armed blonde out of a coconut tree?
A: Wave

Going down. <G>

"Yup, I can sit on ice cream & tell you if it's chocolate or vanilla"

I've heard of hot cross buns and blue buns (that's what the smurfs
have), but I don't think I'd want to sit on something cold. The
cement seats on a winter day are bad enough (that was the case the
day of my Dad's funeral -- cloudy and 32, with a wind chill of 20.

"Tire go flat?"
"Nope, I was driving along & the other 3 just swolled right up!" "Heat'll do that!"

There you go.

Prank: fill your buggy/cart to the brim & piled as high as possible; go
up to a person in line who has ONE item, & ask, "Do you mind if I go in front of you, please? I'm in a hurry."

Really. Although I've offered to have someone with a full cart go before
me, with only an item or two.

Opium for the masses (or is it "them asses"?)

Or when the family of moles are in the ground for the winter, and it
comes time to come out of the burrow. Well, if the leaders are slow
getting out, the trailers just see mole-asses. <G>

Ouch -- weird; I've heard of chjocolate causing migraines, but not lack of it. . .

I've cut way back from when I ate a half dozen yeast doughnuts for a bedtime snack & another 6 for breakfast!

& why is New Zealand still allowed to call itself "new"?

Same thing with New Mexico.

Well, NM was blatantly stolen from Mexico & that's what they called it when they attached it to the Union.

Really. Although I've offered to have someone with a full cart go before me, with only an item or two.

I would, too, depending on the person (grandma type really tired after shoipping so long; plus I'm sitt8ing down, in my wheelchair, so no biggie for me to wait longer. I've been the person stabnbding who was moments away from falling.)

Never mind the Whammies. My favorite was the one breakdancing.

I missed that one; my daughter only likes the show to see what the Whammies do next; she likes the one where they are chanting & marching. . .

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were down on their luck.
They took one of their prized possessions—The Star of The Empire, one of the worlds largest diamonds—to a famous yet discreet pawn shop outside of Las Vegas to ask for a loan.

The pawnbroker said "So I talked to my buddy who is an expert in diamonds to get his opinion. I can give you $200,000 for it."

Prince Harry said "You must be joking, I had this appraised at nearly 2 million pounds! Don't you know who I am, I'm a prince! My mother is Queen of The United Kingdom, Elizabeth II!!"

The pawnbroker said "$200k, take it or leave it. When you wish to pawn a star, makes no difference who you are..."

Child Support Agency Forms

The following are all replies that Dallas women have written on Child Support Agency forms in the section for listing fathers' name details.

1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, child A was fathered by Jim Munson. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of child B, but I believe that he was conceived on the same night.

2. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my child as I was being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party if this helps.

3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was conceived at a party at 3600 Grand Avenue where I had unprotected sex with a man I met that night. I do remember that the sex was so good that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you send me his phone number? Thanks.

4. I don't know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door panels. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and see if he's had It replaced.

5. I have never had sex with a man. I am awaiting a letter from the Pope confirming that my son's conception was immaculate and that he is Christ risen again.

6. I cannot tell you the name of child A's dad as he informs me that to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic implications for the economy. I am torn between doing right by you and right by the country. Please advise.

7. I do not know who the father of my child was as all blacks look The same to me.

8. Peter Smith is the father of child A. If you do catch up with him, can you ask him what he did with my AC/DC CDs?

9. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Disney World; maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom.

10. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I remember for sure is Delia Smith did a program about eggs earlier in the evening. If I'd have stayed in and watched more TV rather than going to the party at 146 Miller Drive, mine might have remained unfertilized.

A couple hours later I had a large kettle of soup simmering. The sergeant came up and tasted the soup. He took a second spoonful and stood there staring at me. I thought I had really messed up the soup and was waiting for a reprimand.

Instead he said, "This tastes good... are you sure you followed the recipe?"
