~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it could be the cause traffic accidents as people might wreck their cars when they drove by. Secondly - a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder and almost killed herself putting it against my house. She didn't realize that he was a fake man until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was only one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few deep tire tracks where people literally drove up onto my lawn. But I have to tell you that it was certainly amazing fun while it lasted.

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Black Lingerie I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been married for 23 years. We were chatting about our relationships and we decided to amaze our men by greeting them at the front door wearing a black bra, lacey panties, stiletto heels and a black mask over our eyes. We agreed that we would meet again in a few days to exchange notes. This is how it went when we met later in the week to exchange stories. My engaged friend: The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, black panties, tall stilettos and that wonderful black feather mask I wore to the Halloween party last year. He saw me and said, "You are definitely the woman of my dreams. I love you and then we made passionate love all night long. The mistress: "Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing a raincoat and under it only the black bra, French cut panties and a mask over my eyes. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, he kissed me passionately and then we had sex night." Then I had to share my story: When my husband came home I was wearing my lacey black bra, panties, thigh high black stockings and mask over my eyes. He came through the door smiled, looked me up and down and said “What’s for dinner Batman?” |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Dog Pack Attacks Crocodile In The Northern Territory At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain poetic justice manifested within that cruelty. The crocodile, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator', can still fall victim to an implemented “team work” strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and “survival of the pack mentality”' bred into canines. See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the crocodile preventing it from breathing. Another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the crocodile. This is the kill bite. This Is Not For The Squeamish

A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the grocery store. As he waited, he was approached by a man who asked, "Son, can you tell me where the Post Office is?" The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a couple of blocks and take the first turn to your right." The man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. I'd like you to come to church on Sunday and I’ll show you how to get to Heaven." The little boy replied, “I find that hard to believe, you didn’t even know how to find the Post Office”. |

It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.

Dear Abby, I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out? Dear Abby, My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy. |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Old Age! An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as Honey Pie, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin etcetera. The couple had been married for seventy years and clearly, they were still very much in love. While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over to his host saying, "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names." The old man hung his head, "I have to tell you the truth," he said. "Her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and I’m really afraid to ask her what it is."

These Flowers Make Me Smile – But Don’t Worry
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord, please take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!" Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, "Oh – never mind Lord - I just found one." Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful. Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his behind was bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed. In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room. She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?" Flynn said, "Why would you say such a mean thing?" "Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly - it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror. & finally … Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Please pour me a stiff one - I just had another fight with the little woman." "Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?" "When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees. "Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?" She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken." |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ A Lesson To Be Learned From Typing A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they had spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules, so the husband left Minnesota, flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the next day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an E-Mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her address, and without realizing his error, sent the E-Mail. Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her E-Mail expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read: My Dear: I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send E-Mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I've seen to it that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you sweetheart and I hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was. P.S. It sure is hot down here! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ The Hair Dryer A woman on a flight asked the Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favour?" Of course, what may I do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday. It’s unopened but it’s well over the Customs limits. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?" "I would love to help you, my dear, but I must warn you - I will not lie." "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you." When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her, the official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?" From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare. The official thought this answer strange, so he asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?" The priest replied, “I have really a marvelous instrument that was designed to be enjoyed by a woman, but which as of today, has never been used.” Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father. Next in line please".

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ More About Engineers Normal people believe that “If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it. Meanwhile engineers believe that “If it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet”. An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with their wife or their girlfriend. The architect said that he enjoyed spending time with his wife as they built a solid foundation for their enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his girlfriend because of the passion and mystery he found with her. The engineer said he liked both his wife and his girlfriend because they each assumed that he was spending time with the other woman, which was great, because then he could go to the lab and get some work done. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ “Someone Has Spare Time”
All About Engineers … A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys anyway? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!" The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him." "Hi George, say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?" The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of firefighters who lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a raging fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?" | ||||||||||||||||||||||

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Perry, a robust 80 year old, loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat one day when he heard a voice say, “Please pick me up”. He looked around but couldn’t see anyone. He thought he was day dreaming, but then he heard it again, “Please pick me up”. He looked over the side of the boat and saw a frog floating on the water. Perry said, (In his best DeNiro voice) “Are you talkin’ to me?” The frog replied, “Yes I’m talking to you. If you pick me up and kiss me I’ll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. It will make all your friends envious when I become your lovely bride”. Perry looked at the frog for a minute and then reached over the side of the boat, picked up the frog and secured him snugly in the zipper pocket of his vest. The frog cried out, “Are you crazy. Kiss me and I will become your beautiful, adoring bride.” Perry opened his pocket – looked at the frog again and said, “Nah – you know at my age - between a third wife and you - I’d rather have a talking frog”. |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, the other day the wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, “Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?” He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a dumb ass. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So Diane called him a twit. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Just then our bus arrived. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired and are no longer so busy. We think that it’s really, really important at our age to stay active. Wouldn’t you agree? |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ George Carlin’s Views On Aging … Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. 'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. 'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life. You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. But then you turn 30. Oooh - what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He “turned” - we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You become 21, you turn 30, then you're pushing 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you reach 50 and your dreams are gone. But wait - you make it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you become 21, turn 30, push 40, reach 50 and make it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you hit 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing. You hit Wednesday. You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you hit lunch; you turn 4:30; you reach bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I was just 92.' Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!! How To Stay Young

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Two English businessmen in London were sitting down for a break in their Soon-To-Be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, “I bet any minute now some idiot tourist is going to walk by and poke his face in the door and ask what we're selling?” No sooner were the words out of his mouth, when sure enough, a curious Irishman walked up to the door, had a peek, and in a thick Irish accent asked “What might ye be sellin' here?” One of the English men replied sarcastically, “We're selling morons”. Without skipping a beat, the Irishman said, “Ah - you're doing well then - only two left”. The Lesson: An Englishman should never attempt to match wits with the Irish. |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ The Fine Art of Buying Gas In France A thief in Paris managed to steal some incredibly valuable paintings from the Louvre: a Monet – a Degas – a Van Gogh. He was inspired by De Gaulle and Toulouse. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his vehicle ran out of gas. When asked by the police how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, “Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings” “I had no Monet - to buy Degas - to make the Van Gogh”. Now let’s see if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else. I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse. |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Urban Legend Or Not? Dear Mr. Minister, I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and I still can’t believe this. How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a T.V. cable from them back in 1997, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date? Let me help you out here - my birth date is on my social insurance card, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It’s on my health insurance card, my driver's license, on the last eight passports I've had, on every customs declaration form I've had to fill out before being allowed off every plane for the last 30 years, and all those census forms that are done at election time. Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die! I apologize, Mr. Minister, I know you’re just trying to do your job. Okay - I’m better now. Oops - come to think of it - you sent the application form to my house and then you ask me for my address. Honest, it’s March and I just want to go and walk on a sandy beach in the sunshine. Oh no - here I go again. Would someone please tell me, why would you care if I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? Actually, I have to go now because I have to go to the other end of the city and get another copy of my birth certificate to the tune of $60.00 Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport on the same day? I guess so, that would be too easy. Then I need to have someone confirm that the picture (the one I’m not allowed to smile in) is really me. Who else would it be? And hey, come to think of it - why can’t I smile? I’m a generally happy guy. Signed - An Irate Canadian Citizen. P.S. Oh, oh - I’m not done yet. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since 1776 when one of my forefathers took up arms against the Americans. I have served in the military for over 30 years and have had too many security clearances to count. I was an aide-de-camp to the lieutenant governor of my province for ten years and I have been doing volunteer work for the RCMP for five years. However, I have to get someone “important” to verify who I am, you know, someone like my doctor who is from Argentina. Whew! |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ A Short Love Story At this time of year - so close to Valentine’s Day - this is a truly touching story. A man and a woman who had never met before, and were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a Trans-continental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room as strangers, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly. He in the upper bunk and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, “Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? It’s awfully cold up here”. “Why, I have a better idea,” she replied,“Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married. “Wow! that is a great idea”, he exclaimed - visions of himself as a “manly” man dancing in his head. “Good”, she replied. “Then it’s settled - just get out of bed and get your own blanket. The End. |

~ Really, Really Bad Jokes ~ Have you ever been guilty of looking at someone your own age and thinking, “I can’t possibly look that old”? Well, I was sitting in the office of my new dentist when I noticed his DDS Diploma on the wall. I suddenly remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name who had been in my high school class some 40 odd years earlier. Could this really be the same guy that I had a secret crush on all those years ago? However upon seeing him I quickly discarded the thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, we got to chatting and I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School. Indeed he had. “When did you graduate”? I asked. He answered “In 1959 - why do you ask?” I smiled and said, “You were in my class”. He looked at me closely and then that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, son-of-a-gun asked me, “Really, what subject did you teach”? |

As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection: a thick slab of ham on a fresh bun with crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard. The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife suddenly at my side. "Here, hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich," she said. I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard on my fingers. I love mustard. I had no napkin. I licked it off. It was not mustard. No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the first and only time I have sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand, I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do; only I did it on my tongue. Later, after she stopped crying from laughing so hard, my wife said, "Now you know why they call that fancy mustard . . . “Poupon”.

coincidence but I’m looking for my wife, too. I can't seem
to find her anywhere and I'm starting to feel a bit
worried”. The old guy says, “Well, maybe we can help each
other. What does your wife look like”? The young guy says,

blue eyes and long legs. She's wearing tight white shorts
and a halter top. What does your wife look like”? The old
guy says, “Oh, it doesn't really matter... let's look for

Swim Anyone? Charlie lay sprawled out on a chaise, a glass of cold lemonade in his hand, looking over the 3 beautiful swimming pools on his vast estate. Paul, his best friend from childhood, sat on a chair next to him. Paul said, “You’ve done really well for yourself since moving to southern California from Hamilton”. Charlie smiled and nodded. Paul went on, “I know the money is free flowing, but I still don’t understand why you have three swimming pools”. Charlie laughed and said, “Well, see that one with the steam rising off the surface of the water – that’s for my Canadian friends who come here and are always complaining about the cold. The pool with the overhead fans and the chilled glasses at the ready is for my friends from Mexico who are always griping that they are too hot”. Paul replied, “Okay - that makes sense – but what about this exquisite middle pool with the beautiful hanging flowers baskets and the white and green striped cushions on the deck chairs – the pool with no water in it - what on earth is it for”? Charlie reached over and slapped Paul on the shoulder and said – “That pool, my friend, is for people like you who can’t swim”. |

The fisherman caught a giant trout but immediately unhooked it and released it back into the water. Next he hooked a substantial pike. Once again he threw the fish back into the river. Finally he caught a small bass. He laughed and jumped all around and then put the little fish into his water bucket.

Trevor The Talking Dog Ben saw a sign in front of a house in England. "Talking Dog for Sale." He rang the bell and the owner told him that the talking dog was in the backyard. Ben went around into the backyard and saw a big, black mutt just sitting there. "You talk?" he asked.
"So, what's your story?" Trevor looked up and said, "Well, I discovered my gift of talking when I was just a puppy and I really wanted to help the government, so I told the MI5 - the UK's intelligence agency (this is where James Bond works) 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 finally the jetting around really tired me out. 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 watching suspicious characters, sniffing for bombs and listening in on casual conversations. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Then I met my true love and had a bunch of puppies. Now I'm retired". Ben was amazed at Trevor's tale. He went back to the owner and asked him how much he wanted for the dog. The owner said, "You can have him for ten quid." Ben said, "But Trevor is absolutely amazing - why on earth would you sell him so cheaply?" The owner said, "Cause he's a big liar. Trevor's never done any of that stuff he boasts about". |

The doctor tells them that they are physically OK, 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 the chair. His wife asks, "Where are you going?" "To the kitchen." "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" "Sure." "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" "No, I can remember it." "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top. You'd better write it down 'cause you know you'll forget." 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." 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 for cripes sakes!" Then he grumbles into the kitchen. 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?" |

~ In Lieu Of A Joke ~ As you may remember, the Head of a company survived the horror of the World Trade Centre on 9/11 because his son started kindergarten that day. Another fellow is alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike due to an auto accident. One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled & didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today. So if you're stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone ... all the little things that annoy you - think instead that you're exactly where you're supposed to be at this very moment. Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated - Life is at work watching over you. May you continue to be blessed with all these annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose in your life. |

"Quite Simply - Blonde" Dear Diary: Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane, energy-efficient kind. Then just this week I got a call from the contractor who installed them and he was complaining that the work had been completed more than a year ago and I still hadn't paid him for the windows. "Hellooooo", I said, "Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I'm automatically dumb. So I told him what his fast-talking salesman told me last year when I ordered the windows". He said, "In one year these windows will pay for themselves". "Well - hellooooo", I told him, "It's been a year". There was only silence at the other end of the phone so I finally hung up. He didn't call back. So I guess I won that stupid argument. |

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the complaint sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that the ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by the pilots of Qantas - (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by the maintenance engineers. BTW - Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
P: Test flight OK except auto-land very rough.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet/minute descent.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
P: IFF inoperative.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.

P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)

The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM . Wake up."

Subject - Happiness A 92-year-old, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably coifed and shave perfectly applied, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. "I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room - just wait." "That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life.

Doreen was walking along the Boardwalk in The Beaches with her beloved beagle Henry. As luck would have it she found a lamp partly buried in the sand. Being of sound mind and body she rubbed the side of the lamp hoping for the appearance of the proverbial Genie. Sure enough said Genie appeared out of the spout of the lamp in a puff of smoke. He said to Doreen - "You can have three wishes and I'll grant them all". Because she was a lovely person Doreen's first thought wasn't for herself. She looked at the Genie and said "I wish that all the kids in the school where I teach would get along and work hard to have good grades." The Genie snapped his fingers and announced "Done". Doreen smiled and thanked the Genie. Her second wish was for a successful fund raising event for her upcoming church bazaar. The Genie said, "Your bazaar will raise ten times its usual amount. " The Genie looked fondly at Doreen and said, "Isn't there anything you want for yourself"? Doreen giggled and replied, "I'm just getting to that". She looked down at her dog Henry and said, "I want you to turn Henry into a rich, tall, dark and handsome Prince who will adore me, be the most romantic man who has ever lived and have eyes only for me". The Genie said "I can do that but just remember that this is your very last wish". Doreen promised that there was nothing more that she wanted in life". The Genie snapped his fingers and then promptly disappeared. Doreen looked up at the most handsome, beautifully dressed man she had ever seen. She swooned and fell into his arms - certain that romance was only moments away. Henry kissed her lightly on the forehead and said, "I bet you're sorry now that you had me fixed". |

Jimmy walked into his ornithology class and found five birds standing on a table. Each had a bag covering its body so only its feet were visible. "What's this"? he asked Professor Johnson. It's an exam", replied the teacher, "Your job is to identify each bird just by looking at its feet, and I might add that even an idiot could pass this little test with flying colours". Jimmy frowned and said, "This is a stupid test". What's your name" replied the angered professor - his nose clearly out of joint. Jimmy grinned, took off his socks and shoes, pulled up his pant legs and said, "You tell me". |

A well dressed man entered a bar, leaned against the counter, ordered two very expensive drinks and downed them in a minute. He then ordered two even more expensive drinks and drank them just as quickly. He then smiled at the bartender and said "Set 'em up again, Buddy". The bartender complied. The drinks disappered in short order. Finally satisfied, the man sat down on a bar stool and lit a cigar. The bartender looked at his customer and said, "Wow - I've never seen a person down 6 drinks that quickly - is everything alright". The man said - "Well if you had what I have you'd be drinking quickly too". Leaning closer the sympathetic bartender said, "I'm so sorry - what do you have". The man replied - "I just left divorce court and I've got fifty cents". |

Johnny walked into a bar and told the bartender he had something amazing to show him and he'd share it for a beer. The bartender was in a jovial mood and he poured Johnny a glass of his best and pushed it across the bar. From his coat pocket Johnny took out a tiny piano and a chair. From another pocket he produced a little white mouse and sat it in the chair. From a third pocket he took out a beautiful butterfly and sat it on the piano. The mouse tuned up the piano and the butterfly sang a classical Cole Porter tune. When the song was over, Johnny put his little act back in his pockets, finished his beer and turned to leave. As he was walking away he put five dollars on the bar and said to the bartender - "I feel as if I have to pay for my beer because I deceived you - the butterfly can't sing a note - the mouse is really a ventriloquist" |

Libby was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall,
handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that Libby couldn't take her eyes off him.
The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. Before she could
offer her apologies for staring at him so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything,
absolutely anything, that you want me to do, for $20.00 on one condition." Flabbergasted, Libby asked what
the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words.
" Libby considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20 bill from her wallet.
She pressed the money into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly purred ...
"Clean my house." |

| Two elderly women were out driving in a large car. They could hardly see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along they came to an intersection. T he stop light was red but they just went right through. Doreen who was sitting in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I'm sure we just went through a red light", but she settled back to enjoy the ride, thinking she must have been wrong. A few minutes later they came to another intersection and cruised right through the red light. Doreen got a little nervous and decided to pay really close attention at the next intersection. Sure enough they zipped right through the next red light. Doreen had had enough. She turned to Mildred and said, "You just drove straight through three red lights - are you trying to kill us". Mildred replied, "Oh for heaven's sake - I didn't realize I was driving" | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ernie had just finished his first
golf lesson and his enthusiasm for his new found sport was boundless. His skill
level was another matter. He turned to his instructor Tom and said,
"Just watch me - I'm going to make this a hole in two". He selected his driver,
teed up and fixed his eye on the ball. Ernie swung his club and sent the
ball a whopping twenty feet out onto the fairway. Undaunted, he turned to Tom
and said, "Now it's time for a record-breaking
putt"! Jimmy and Johnny were out bear hunting. They rounded a corner and spotted a bear about fifty feet away. Jimmy fired a shot at the animal but the bullet whistled past the bear's ear. This made the bear angry and he growled and started to lumber towards the two men. Johnny sat down on a rock and took out his running shoes. The bear started to run in their direction. Jimmy said, "Are you crazy we have to get out of here." He started to run in his heavy hiking boots. Johnny soon sailed past him in his running shoes and said, "You see Jimmy my friend - I don't have to outrun the bear - I just have to outrun you". |

| Cynthia was worried about her parrot. He looked lifeless so she took him to the emergency vet. The vet took one look at the bird and said, "I'm sorry - your parrot is dead". Cynthia replied, "How can you tell so quickly - are you certain he's dead? Is there a test you can do to be sure?" The vet whistled and in came a black Labrador Retriever. The dog sniffed the bird a couple of times, looked at the woman forlornly, shook his head and left the room. Cynthia was distraught. She said, "How can I believe a dog shaking his head?" The vet left the room and came back with a cat. He put the cat on the table. The cat looked closely at the parrot, walked around it a couple of times, prodded it with his foot, shook his head and then jumped off the table and disappeared. Finally Cynthia accepted the inevitable and turned to leave. The vet called her back and said, "You can pay the $500.00 bill at the counter on your way out". Cynthia shrieked $500.00. How can you be charging me that much money to tell me that my parrot is dead.? Are you crazy?" The vet replied, "I told you the bird was dead - but you doubted my judgement and now I have to charge you for the lab report and the cat scan." | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The blonde driver searched through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated when she couldn't locate it. "What does a license look like?" the blonde driver finally asked. The blonde policewoman replied, "It's square and it has your picture on it." The driver finally found a square cosmetic mirror, looked at it and then handed it to the policewoman. "Here it is," she said.The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, "Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop." | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jimmy was an old man. He lived alone in the country and very much wanted to dig his potato garden for the spring planting but it was extremely hard work and Jimmy had grown feeble over the years. His only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. Jimmy wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament. Dear Fred, I am feeling pretty bad these days because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here all my troubles would be over. I know you'd dig the garden for me. Love, Dad A few days later Jimmy received this letter from his son. Dear Dad, For heaven's sake Dad, don't dig up the garden - that's where I buried the body and the money. Love, Fred. At 4:00 A.M. the next morning, FBI agents and the local police arrived at Jimmy's place and dug up the entire area. They found nothing, apologized to Jimmy and left. The same day Jimmy received another letter from Fred. Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. Under the circumstances - it's the best I could do. Love You, Fred. |

| A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort in Northern Minnesota. Ray liked to fish each day at the crack of dawn and his wife Eileen liked to read. One morning Ray returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake Eileen decided to take the boat out. She enjoyed the sunshine as she motored out into the lake, then she anchored and continued to read her book. Along came a game warden in his boat. He pulled up along side Eileen and said, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing"? "Reading a book" replied Eileen (thinking - isn't this obvious?) "You're in a restricted fishing area" he informed her. Eileen looked at him and said, "That may be, but I'm reading, I'm not fishing". "Yes I see that" said the warden, "But you have all the equipment in your boat and you could start to fish at any time and then you'd be breaking the law. I'm going to have to ask you to follow me to shore where I'm going to write this up". Eileen looked at him and said, "If you do that, I'll charge you with sexual assault". The warden was dumbfounded. He responded, "Don't be ridiculous I haven't so much as touched you". Eileen smiled sweetly and said, "That may be true, but you have all the equipment and you could start at any time and then you'd be breaking the law". The warden tipped his hat to Eileen and said, "Have a nice day Ma'am", and left. The Moral - Never argue with a woman who reads - She also thinks! |

| The children were all lined up in the school cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school waiting patiently for the lunch line to move along. At the start of the serving line was a huge bowl of wonderful, polished red apples. One of the Nuns had posted a sign that said, "Take only one apple - God is watching" At the far end of the long line sat a tray of delectable chocolate chip cookies. Little Johnny looked back along the line at the Nun who was watching the children. He took out a pad of paper and his crayons. As the kids moved along big smiles broke out on their faces. Johnny had written, "Take all the cookies you want - God is busy watching the apples". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| There is a very fine line between
a hobby and mental illness. You should never confuse your career with your life. Never lick a steak knife. You will never find a person who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven. A person who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. Your friends love you anyway. Never be afraid to try something new. A lone amateur built the Ark - a large group of professionals built the Titanic. If you had to identify one word to explain why human beings have not achieved their full potential - it would be "meetings". The one thing that unites all human beings is the belief that they are "above-average" drivers. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. |

They settled into the back seat of the luxury car and enjoyed the ride to the big city, talking and laughing about all the places they planned to visit and the wonderful food and wine in Tuscany. When they pulled up at "Arrivals", Jeannie looked at Dan and said, "Gee, Honey I wish we had our television set with us". Dan laughed and replied, "Don't be silly, why on earth would we want the TV in Italy"? Jeannie shrugged and said, "Because the plane tickets are on top of it". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A college student at a recent football game challenged a senior citizen sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for his generation to understand the youth of today. "You grew up in a different world", the student said - loud enough for the spectators sitting around them to hear. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel,man has walked on the Moon, our spaceships have visited Mars, we have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with high speed processing capabilites ... and uh". Taking advantage of the pause in the student's litany, the geezer replied, "You're right, we didn't have those things when I was young - so my generation invented them you little twit. So, what is the youth of today doing for the next generation?" | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Two billy goats escaped from a farmer's field and ended up nosing around the back lot of a huge Hollywood movie studio. One of the goats knocked over a garbage can and a big spool of film fell to the ground and started to unroll. The second goat chased after it and came back with the loose end in his mouth. Because goats will eat anything the two escapees started munching on the film and soon the entire reel had been consumed. Joey, the first goat said,"Well what did you think of that"?

Pointing a finger in her face he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of the house and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert. Then after dinner you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax.

| Jenny jumped on the Queen Street trolley in The Beaches one morning for her usual ride to Yonge Street. She sat down beside a young man with a big duffle bag at his feet. He looked at her and said, "Hi - I'm Joe". Every time the trolley pulled up to a stop Joe took a French horn out of his bag and gave it a sharp blast. Jenny was curious and said, "Joe, why are you blowing that horn at every stop"? Joe replied, "To keep the elephants from charging the trolley". Jenny said, "That's ridiculous - there are no elephants around here". "I know", said Joe proudly - "This is a very effective technique". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Never Ask A Question When You Don't Know The Answer! In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand. Emma Jones was a petite, elderly, grandmotherly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones do you know me?" She responded, "Why yes I do Mr. Williams - I've known you since you were a small boy, and quite frankly you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you will never be more than a two bit paper pusher - yes I know you". The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defence attorney?" Emma replied, "Oh yes, I've known Mr.Bradley since he was a youngster too. He's lazy and bigoted. He has a drinking problem. He can't have a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. He has cheated on his wife with three local women, one of whom was your wife Mr. Williams. Oh yes I certainly know Mr. Bradley". The judge banged his gavel down on the bench and said to the two lawyers, "Sidebar". When Mr. Williams and Mr. Bradley approched the judge, he said "If either of you asks her if she knows me, I'll throw your sorry butts in jail for contempt. Do I make myself clear?" |

| Millie, a proud grandmother wanted her five year old grandson James to have a real appreciation for culture and the arts. At every opportunity she took him to a gallery opening, a film appropriate to his age or an afternoon musical event. She organized a matinee at the ballet and was really excited to see how James would react. The boy had never seen a ballet before and he watched intently as the ballerinas pranced around on their toes. After the show was over, Millie asked the youngster if he had enjoyed the show and if he had any questions. James thought a moment and said, "Nana - I really liked the music and the costumes, but I think it would make more sense if they just hired taller dancers". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mayor Miller was driving to work one morning when he noticed two men busily working away at the side of the road. One man was digging a hole then walking along the road a few feet and starting to dig a new hole. Behind him another workman was following along filling in the holes. The mayor stopped his car, got out and walked over to the two men. Both of them looked up as he approached and one man said, "Well good morning to you Mr. Mayor". The mayor replied, "I'm a little curious about your job description - what are you doing?" "Oh nothing out of the ordinary Sir - we're usually a three man crew, however Herbie, the man who actually plants the trees is off sick today. When we told our boss, he suggested that we just proceed as usual - so here we are". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Old Doc Smith was a regular at Mike's Bar and Grill. For the last 30 years he'd ordered the same drink every day at 5:00 P.M.- a walnut daiquiri. One day, Mike ran out of walnuts. He poked around the kitchen and found a package of hickory nuts. It was almost five o'clock - these would have to do and Mike though that Doc probably wouldn't even notice. Doc arrived right on time and Mike put the cocktail on the bar in front of him. Doc smiled, took a sip and immediately made a face - "What's going on here - this isn't a walnut daiquiri." Mike was shamefaced and he replied, "You're right and I'm sorry, but it's the best I could do today - there ain't no mouse and there's no darn clock, but this is definitely a hickory daiquiri, Doc" | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Billy Joe replied, "I can easily do that. Can you please take a moment of your precious time and kindly tell me if that is Trinity College I'm looking at, you jerk?" | ||||||||||||||||||||||

He picked up the can and read the label. It said - "Use for hair restoration and permanent wave". | ||||||||||||||||||||||

flew open and a scantily clad patient darted past him. Michael
called out to the man, "What on earth is wrong?" The
man turned around and replied, "I had to get out of there
before they put me under". Michael said, 'What kind of operation
were you having". The man said, "An appendectomy".
Michael shrugged and said, "But that is a relatively short,
simple procedure". The man said, "Well the nurse explained,
first we put the patient under, then we swab and sterilize the
area around the abdomen, then we make a short incision with a scalpel
and clamp open the skin, then the appendix is removed. We make
sure no instruments have been left inside, then we close and stitch
the incision" "That sounds about right" said the
administrator, "The nurse explained it all so why are you
so afraid?" The man said, "Because, she wasn't explaining
it to me, she was talking to the doctor". |

he was doing fairly well for his age. Ted was a bit concerned about
this comment, so he asked the doctor if he thought he would live
to be 90. The doctor replied, "Well do you smoke tobacco or
drink beer?" Ted replied, "Oh no, I've never done either".
So the doctor said, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and BBQ'd ribs".
Ted said, "No, I've heard that red meat is very bad for you,
so I cut that out of my diet". The doctor shook his head and
asked, "Well do you play tennis or golf in the sunshine?" Ted
shook his head and said, "No, the sun's rays are dangerous -
so I mostly stay indoors". The doctor continued, "Well
do you ever gamble in Vegas, drive fast cars or run around with beautiful
women". Ted said, "Oh no, I've never done any of those
things". The doctor patted Ted on the back and said, "Then
why on earth do you want to live to be 90?" |

| Arnie walked into a very exclusive shoe store
and asked to be shown several pairs of shoes. He tried on a walking
sandal, then some sneakers, then a casual loafer. Finally he decided
on a pair of shiny black oxfords. "So, how do they feel",
asked the sales clerk. "Well", said Arnie , "The left
one feels a wee bit tight. The sales clerk bent down and studied
the man's foot. He looked at Arnie and said, "Try pulling your
tongue out and then tell me if it helps". Arnie did as he was
asked and replied ... "Waaal - theyth sthill feelth a bith tighth". |

| James asked his wife Martha what she would like for their 40th. wedding anniversary. "For instance would you like a new mink coat? How about a new Mercedes sports car? Or maybe a new home in the country, or a world-wide vacation?" Martha shook her head in response to all his questions. So James said, "Then what would you like honey". Martha replied, "James - I would like a divorce". James shook his head slowly and said, "Sorry my dear, but I wasn't planning on spending quite that much". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| I went to the store the other day and I was
only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a motorcycle
cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, "Come
on buddy - how about giving a guy a break?" He ignored me and
continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked idiot.
He glared at me, took out another ticket and said, "Here's a
ticket for worn tires". So I called him a wanna-be Hell's Angel
with a sissy blue uniform. He finished the second ticket and put
it under the wiper along side the first one. So I called him a low-life
moron. So he wrote up a ticket for the small crack in the back window
of the car. This went on until there were 5 tickets under the wiper
- totalling $400.00. But I didn't really care because my car was
parked around the corner. I do try to have a litte fun every day
- I think it's important, don't you? |

| Doreen came home one day to find her husband Tom stalking around the house with a large green fly swatter. "What on earth are you doing?", she asked. Tom said, "Quiet - I'm hunting flies". Doreen smiled and said, "Wow, a man on a mission - how has your sucess rate been?" Tom replied, Great so far, 3 males and 2 females". "Really", said Doreen, "And just how can you tell which is which?" "Well it's easy", said Tom - 3 flies were on a beer can and 2 were on the phone". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A stranger was seated next to Little Johnny on an airplane. The stranger turned to the boy and said "Let's talk. I've heard that flights seem to go by faster if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger". Little Johnny had just settled down with a new book but he smiled, closed the book and said to the man, "What would you like to discuss?" The stranger replied, "Oh I don't know - what about nuclear power?" "Okay", said Little Johnny, "That could be an interesting topic, but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat grass - which is the same stuff. However a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is? "Jeez", said the stranger, "I have no idea". "Well then" said Little Johnny as he picked up his book, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know anything about the basics of life?" | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Even though Jenny and her husband Charlie both work full time - he never seems to have the time to help around the house and then he wonders why he and his wife have so little time for romance. One week-end he read an article in the local newspaper that said that working women who must also look after the entire household were too tired for romance with their husbands. Charlie thought this was ludicrous - how on earth could a little housework tire a person out? One evening Jenny got home from work to find the children bathed, the laundry done and folded, dinner on the stove and the table set. She was astonished. The next day she was telling her friend Pam about the evening. Pam said, "So how was the rest of the night, after Charlie put the kids to bed and cleaned up the dishes. "Well" said Jenny, "I was all set for hugs and kisses, but I read a book instead, because Charlie fell asleep on the couch". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A blonde was down on
her luck. In order to raise some money, she decided to kidnap a
kid and hold him for ransom. She went to a local playground and
sat down beside a 10 year old boy and said. Okay, here's what is
going to happen. I am going to kidnap you. So she wrote a note
that said ... "I have kidnapped your son. Tomorrow you must
put $10,000 in small bills in a paper bag and place it beside the
pecan tree that is next to the swings in the north playground" -
signed ... A Blonde.
Next she took the note and pinned it on the kid's tee-shirt and told him to go straight home to his parents. The next morning the blonde checked and sure enough a paper bag was sitting next to the pecan tree, beside the swing set in the north playground. The blonde opened up the bag and found the $10,000 - all in small bills - with a note that said ... "How could you possibly do this to a fellow blonde?" |

He Just Knows There Is No Right Answer Here! Bill and Sarah are getting ready to go out for dinner on Saturday night. Both of them have been extremely busy during the day and have been knocking around in sweats and tee-shirts doing typical week-end errands. After her shower, Sarah sits down at her make-up table and methodically applies concealer, foundation, eyebrow pencil, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara, blush, lip liner, lipstick and lip gloss. She studies her reflection in the mirror and thinks she looks pretty darn good for a woman of 47. As Bill walks into the bedroom, Sarah turns around and says, "Now, tell me the truth Honey - does this look natural?" |

| Young Jimmy and his doting grandmother Ellie were walking by the sea shore when a huge wave appeared out of nowhere and swept Jimmy out to sea. Ellie was horrified. She fell to her knees, raised her eyes to the heavens and begged the Lord to return her beloved grandson. Lo and behold, another monumental wave appeared and deposited the stunned child on the sand before her. Ellie looked the boy over carefully to be sure that he was okay. Convinced that Jimmy was fine, she looked up angrily to the heavens and snapped indignantly - "When we came to the beach - he had a hat". | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Four year old Johnny watched, fascinated as his mother, Millie, sat down at her make-up table and began to smooth cold cream on her face. She massaged the cream down her neck and then patted her hands together. She smiled down at little Johnny , who said, "Mommy, why do you do that"? "Well, to make myself beautiful", Millie responded. A few minutes later she began to remove all the cold cream with a fresh tissue. Little Johnny was very perplexed by this and said to Millie - "What's the matter Mommy, are you giving up already"? | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Billy innocently asked his boss - Bruce - one day if he could have a day off work. Bruce was having a particularly bad day and he turned to Billy and said ... "Let's take a look at exactly what you're asking for here, Billy. There are 365 days per year available for you to work. That is 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week - leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available for work. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee breaks, which counts for 23 days each year - leaving only 68 days available for work. With a 1 hour lunch each day, you have used up another 46 days - leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year as sick days. This leaves you only 20 days per year available to work. We offer 5 government guarenteed holidays per year so your available working time is now down to 15 days. We generously give you 14 days vacation every year and that ... Billy, leaves you only 1 day available for work and I'll be darned if I'm going to give you that day OFF! | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| When Bob - the trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to the truck and knocks on the door.The trucker lowers the window and she says, "Hi, my name is Heather and you're losing some of your load. The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the truck stops for another red light, Heather catches up again. She jumps out of her car and runs up to the truck and knocks on the door again. Bob lowers the window As if she has never seen him before she says brightly, "Hi, my name is Heather and you're losing some more of your load. Shaking his head, Bob winds up his window and drives on. At the third red light the same thing happens again. This time she is all out of breath but Heather diligently gets out of her car, runs up to the truck and knocks on the door. When Bob lowers the window she says, "Hi, my name is Heather and you're losing even more of your load and I think this is a really serious matter and if you don't do something pretty darn soon I'm gonna call a policeman. When the light turns green, Bob revs the engine and races up to the next red light. Here he stops the truck and hurriedly jumps down to the street and races back to Heather's car. He knocks on the window and when Heather lowers it he says, "Hi, my name is Bob - this is Indiana - it's winter and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Josh bought a new, red Mercedes Sports Car (a convertible, of course) and took it out onto the 401 for a nice relaxing evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing though his hair and he decided to open the car up a bit see how it moved. As the speed jumped up to 140 he saw the dreaded flashing red light in his rear view mirror. Josh thought to himself, "There's no way this cop can catch me in my new Mercedes", so he opened the car up even more and the needle hit 160 and then 190. The police car stayed with him. Finally Josh thought to himeslf, "What on earth am I doing here?" and he pulled over to the side of the expressway. The cop came up to the side of the car and asked for licence and insurance. He examined the documents and looked at the sleek, red car. He said to Josh, "Look buddy, I've had a really tough shift and you are the last guy I'm going to pull over for the night. I don't even feel like doing the paperwork here, so if you can give me a really good excuse for driving the way you were and one I haven't heard before ... then you can go - no ticket". Josh hung his head and then looked up at the policeman and said seriously, "Officer, just last week my wife ran off with a cop and I was afraid you were gonna try and give her back to me". The cop smiled at Josh, tossed back his I.D. and said "You have a nice night". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jeff, the mechanic, was removing the head from the motor of a motorcycle, when he spotted a well known heart surgeon walk through the door of his shop. The surgeon waited patiently for assistance. Jeff wiped off his hands and walked over to the counter. He said, "Hey Doc, can I ask you a question"? The surgeon seemed a bit surprised but he nodded yes. Jeff said, "Come on over here and have a look at this chopper. You see I can open up its heart, take the valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I only make a quarter of the money that you make when we are bascally doing the very same job"? The surgeon smiled and said to Jeff ... "Point well taken, but try doing it with the engine running". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Corporate Lesson: A sales representative, an administrative clerk and their manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp on the sidewalk. Naturally they rub it and a Genie pops out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says - "You lucky people - you can each have a wish". "Me first ... me first", says the administrative clerk ... "I want to be in Hawaii, lying on a beach sipping a tall, cool drink". Poof, she's gone! In astonishment the sales representative grabs the lamp and says ... "Me next ... me next - I want to be in the Bahamas with my personal trainer, an endless supply of Pina Colades and the love of my life". Shazam - he disappears. "Okay" - says the Genie to the manager, "Your turn". The manager chuckles and says, "I want those two back in the office by the time I return from lunch". And the moral of the story is - "Always let your boss have the first say". I asked the children in my Sunday School Class - "If I sold my house, my car and all my possessions and gave all the money to the church would I get into heaven"? "NO", all the children said. So I continued "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the lawn and kept fresh flowers at the altar, would I get into heaven"? Again they said "NO". "Well", I said "Then how do I get to heaven?" From the back of the room 5 year old Danny shouted out, "You gotta be dead". |

| Four brewery Presidents walk into a tavern and sit down at the bar. The guy from Corona says to the bartender - "You know I would like a bottle of the world's best beer - so hit me with a Corona". The bartender gives him one. The guy from Budweiser says - "Actually, I'd like the best beer in the world - so just give me the The King - I'll have a Budweiser". The bartender complies. The guy from Coors grins and says - "I'll have the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water - so pass over a Coors please" He is granted his request. Finally the guy from Guinness says to the bartender - "Hey Mac - I'll have a Coke please". The bartender is a little taken aback but snaps open a coke and hands it over. The other brewery Presidents look over at him and say in unison - "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness"? The Guinness President smiles and replies - "Well, I figured if you guys aren't going to drink beer, then neither would I". | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| An "Urban Legend" - perhaps, but
funny nonetheless!
A crowded United Airlines flight was cancelled, and a single agent was trying her best to re-book a long line of inconvenienced passengers. Suddenly an irate man bullied his way to the desk, slapped his ticket on the counter and said - "I have to be on this flight and it has to be in first class". The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir, I will be happy to help you but these other people are in the line in front of you. Once it's your turn I'm sure that I will be able to assist you". The man was unimpressed. He yelled at her so everyone could hear "Do you have any idea who I am"? Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. She began, "May I have your attention please", her voice was heard clearly throughout the terminal, "I have a passenger here who does not know who he is. If anyone can help to identify him, please come to Gate 14 immediately". The travelers in line were laughing hysterically at the man. He glared at the agent and yelled "Screw you". Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry Sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that too!" |

A teacher was giving a lesson on blood circulation to her Grade 2 class. She was trying to make the matter very clear to them when she said, "Now class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know would run into it and I would turn red in the face. The students nodded as if they understood. She continued, "Then why is it that while I'm standing upright in the ordinary position that the blood doesn't all run into my feet." There were some looks of consternation on the young faces of the children until Little Johnny at the back of the room cleared up the matter when he shouted - "It's cause your feet aren't empty". A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom while they worked on their drawing assignment. She was walking around to see each child's work. When she got to Jenny's desk she saw that the litle girl was working diligently on her project, so she asked her what she was drawing. Jenny replied, "I'm drawing God". The teacher paused and then said, "But Jenny, no one knows what God looks like". Without missing a beat, Jenny giggled and said "They will in a minute". |

Picture taking day at school had come and gone and now the teacher was standing at the front of her classroom trying to persuade the school children to buy a copy of the group picture. She smiled patiently and said, "Just think how nice it will be years from now when and can look at this picture and remember your childhood friends. You'll be able to look at it and think - there's Jennifer - she's a lawyer, there's Michael - he's a doctor, there's Randy - he's a dentist and oh yes - there's Jessica - she's on T.V now. It will just bring back so many wonderful memories". A small voice at the back of the room piped up and said, "And there's the teacher - she's dead". Little Karen was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said that it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human, because even though it was a very large mammal, it's throat was very small. Karen thought about this and then said, "Jonah was swallowed by a whale". Now a little irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale can not swallow a person. Karen said, "When I'm old and go to heaven I'll ask Jonah what really happened" The teacher said, "What if Jonah went to hell"? Karen immediately replied, "Then you ask him". |

| Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a
camping trip, set up their tent and fall asleep. Hours later
Holmes wakes his faithful friend Watson.
“Watson - look up at the sky and tell me what you see”. Watson replies, “I see millions of stars”. “What does that tell you?” says Holmes. Watson replies, “Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it tells me that it is 3:15 A.M. Theologically, it’s evident that the Lord is all-powerful and you and I are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Why - what does it tell you Holmes? Holmes is silent for a moment and then deliberately and quietly replies, “Watson - you idiot - someone has stolen our tent!” |

He shouts down, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am"? The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon about 30 feet above the park". The balloonist says, "You must work in information technology". The man in the park replied, "Yes I do. How did you know that"? "Well", says the balloonist. "What you told me is technically correct, but the information you have given me is of no use to me". The man with the dog replies, "Ah, you must work in management". "I do", says the balloonist, "How did you know"? "That's easy" replies the dog walker, "You don't know where you are or where you're going, and you expect and need my immediate help. You're also in the same position as you were before we met ... but now it's my fault". | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Brother John entered the "Monastery
Of Silence" and the Chief Priest said, "Brother, this
is a silent monastery, you are welcome here as long as you want
to stay, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so".
Brother John lived in the monastery for five years before the Chief
Priest said to him - "Brother John, you have been here for
five years, you may now speak two words.
Brother John said, "Hard bed". "I'm sorry to hear that", said the Chief Priest, "We will get you a better bed". After another five years, Brother John was called by the Chief Priest. "You may say another two words Brother John". "Cold food" , replied Brother John. The Chief Priest assured him that the food would be better in the future. On his 15th. anniversary at the monastery, the Chief Priest again called Brother John to his office and offered him the chance to speak another two words. "I quit", said Brother John. "It is probably best" replied the Chief Priest - "You've done nothing but complain since you got here". |

Tony was fresh out of ideas about what to give his mother-in-law (who had everything) for Christmas, so he told his wife Lucy that he would ponder this dilemma very seriously and come up with something really unusual. He thought long and hard about this quandary and on Christmas morning he proudly gave her an elegant envelope to open. Inside was a gift certificate for a large, beautifully located plot in the most expensive cemetery in town. She looked at him with exasperation and dismissed his gift without a word. The next Christmas he bought her nothing! She was quick to comment on his selfishness and thoughtlessness and in reply - Tony said only thing - "Well Joyce, I noticed that you haven't used the gift I gave you last year". (Now that's a zinger). |

A local charitable office realized it had never received a donation from the town’s most successful lawyer. A volunteer called him to try & persuade him to contribute. “Sir, you make over $600,000 a year and you don’t give a penny to charity. Wouldn’t you like to make a donation to your community?” The lawyer mulled this over and responded - “Did your research into my life tell you that my mother is dying and has medical bills that are several times her income or that my brother is a disabled war veteran who is blind and confined to a wheelchair & that my sister’s husband died three years ago in a traffic accident leaving her penniless ...did it?” The stricken volunteer stammered...”I had no idea sir.” On a roll the lawyer thundered...“And I don’t give any money to them, so why should I help you?” |

Joe & Helen had been married for 35 years and both were celebrating their 60th. birthday. During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for so long that she wanted to grant them each one wish. Helen looked at Joe and said..."I love my husband very much and I'd like to travel around the world with him first class". The fairy waved her magic wand and Helen had the tickets in her hand. She giggled and danced off to show her prize to her children and guests. Next it was Joe's turn. He was feeling a little frisky and whispered to the fairy - "I love my wife too, but I'd really like to have a woman 30 years younger than me". The fairy smiled, picked up her magic wand, touched Joe on the head and boom - he was 90! |

Two buddies were studying chemistry at the University of Toronto. They were so confident going into exam week that they decided to party with friends at the University of Waterloo the day before the final. They had a great time but unfortunately they overslept the morning of the exam. Arriving back in Toronto they told their professor an elaborate tale of being stranded on the 401 with a flat tire. Their professor thought this over and then told them they could both take the exam the next morning at 9:00 A.M. The following day they arrived at school and the professor put them in separate rooms with their test papers. Question one/page one - worth a mere 5 points - asked them for an elaborate but well known chemical formula. Question two/page two - worth 95 points - simply said: “Which Tire”? |

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the table next to him. Unfortunately he lacks the courage to speak with her. Suddenly she sneezes and her glass eye flies out of its socket and through the air towards him. He instinctively reaches out, grabs it and hands it back to her. "Oh my, I'm so sorry", the woman says as she pops her eye back in place, "Why don't we have dinner together?". They enjoy an amazing evening together, then go off to the theatre and out afterwards for a night-cap. They laugh and joke and share their secrets and dreams. She pays for everything. As he is helping her into a cab at the end the evening he asks, "Are you always this nice to every guy you meet?" "Oh heavens no", she replies, "It's just that you caught my eye". |
