Late one Saturday evening, a mother was awakened by the ringing of my phone. In a sleepy grumpy voice she said hello. The party on the other end of the line paused for a moment before rushing breathlessly into a lengthy speech.

 

"Mom, this is Susan and I'm sorry I woke you up, but I had to call because I'm going to be a little late getting home. See, Dad's car has a flat but it's not my fault. Honest! I don't know what happened. The tire just went flat while we were inside the theater. Please don't be mad, okay?"

 

Since the mother didn't have any daughters, she knew the person had dialed my number by mistake.

 

"I'm sorry dear," the mother replied, "but you've reached the wrong number. I don't have a daughter named Susan."

 

"Wow, Mom," the young woman's voice replied. "I didn't think you'd be this mad."

Mr. Lee was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.

 

"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."

 

When Mr. Lee returned, he shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds.

 

"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"

 

Mr. Lee nodded. "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day."

 

"From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor.

 

Replied Mr. Lee, "No, from all that skipping."

"Please leave an extra pint of paralyzed milk."

 

"Cancel one pint after the day after today."

 

"Please don't leave any more milk. All they do is drink it"

 

"Milkman, please close the gate behind you because the birds keep pecking the tops off the milk."

 

"Milkman, please could I have a loaf but not bread today."

 

"Please cancel milk. I have nothing coming into the house but two sons on the dole."

 

"Sorry not to have paid your bill before, but my wife had a baby and I've been carrying it around in my pocket for weeks."

A mother was telling her little girl what her own childhood was like.

 

She said, "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."

 

The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in.

 

At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

The guide replied simply, "One."

He answered, "Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure your husband, but it is really rather expensive. It will cost $1000 down, and payments of $450 for 24 months, plus payments for extras."

 

"My goodness!" the woman exclaimed, "sounds like leasing a new sports car!"

 

"Hmm," the doctor murmured, "too obvious, huh?"

"Yes."

 

He then asked her, "Did you turn in on?"

 

She said, "Yes. What do you think I am? Some kind of idiot?"

 

So, he went to her cubicle to take a look at her computer.

 

She was perplexed.  "See? I plugged the computer into the surge protector."

 

The guy goes, "Yea, but you plugged the surge protector into itself."

A friend hosted a dinner party for people from work and everyone was encouraged to bring their children. All during the sit-down dinner one co-worker's three-year-old girl stared at the man sitting across from her. The girl could hardly eat her food from staring.

 

The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his hair in place, but nothing stopped her from staring at him. He tried his best to just ignore her but finally it was too much for him. He asked her, "Why are you staring at me?"

 

Everyone at the table had noticed her behavior, and the table went quiet for her response.

 

The little girl said, "I just want to see how you drink like a fish!"

The Importance Of Correct Punctuation

 

We've all been told how important it is to use correct punctuation. Well, here is a letter that illustrates the fact:

 

*Version One*

 

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?
Jane

 

*Version Two*

 

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours, Jane

"No thanks," said Doug. "I'll just have a cup of black coffee."

 

"I'll have black coffee too," Bill said. "And please make sure the cup is clean."

 

The waitress shot him a nasty look. She turned and marched off into the kitchen.

 

Two minutes later, she was back. "Two cups of black coffee," and she announced "Which one of you wanted the clean cup?"

Five Toughest Questions Women Ask Men

 

  1. What are you thinking about?
    2.  Do you love me?
    3.  Do I look fat?
    4.  Do you think she is prettier than me?
    5.  What would you do if I died?

 

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly.  Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses.

 

Question # 1: What would you do if I died?

 

A definite no-win question.  (The real answer, or course, is "Buy a Corvette.") No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:

Woman: Would you get married again?
Man: Definitely not!
W: Why not, don't you like being married?
M: Of course I do.
W: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
M: Okay, I'd get married again.
W: You would?  (with a hurtful look on her face)
M: Yes, I would.
W: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
M: Where else would we sleep?
W: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
M: That would seem like the proper thing to do.
W: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
M: Of course not, Dear.  She's left-handed.

 

Question # 2: What are you thinking about?

 

The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear.  I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:
A.  Baseball.
B.  Football.
C.  Curling.
D.  Golf.
E.  How I would spend the insurance money if you died.  (Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by a TV sitcom, where the husband told his wife, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!")

 

Question # 3: Do you love me?

 

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear!"
Inappropriate responses include:
A.  I suppose so.
B.  Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
C.  That depends on what you mean by love.
D.  Does it matter?
E.  Who, me?

 

Question # 4: Do I look fat?

 

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!"
Among the incorrect answers are:
A.  Compared to what?
B.  I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
C.  A little extra weight looks good on you.
D.  I've seen fatter.
E.  Could you repeat the question?  I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

 

Question # 5: Do you think she's prettier than me?

 

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"
Incorrect responses include:
A.  Yes, but you have a better personality. 
B.  Not prettier, but definitely thinner. 
C.  Not as pretty as you when you were her age. 
D.  Define pretty. 
E.  Could you repeat the question?  I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

The woman replied, "Then I'll be sure my family visits me twice a week."

They say that a preacher's wife is always his number one assistant. An example of this comes one Sunday morning after the preacher had finished his sermon.  He went on a walk that afternoon with his wife and she asked him how he thought the church service went.

The wife looked over at him, and before she could stop herself, she said, "Well, it sure did taxi long enough!"

An Uber passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped inches from a shop window.

 

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look man, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!"

 

The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much."

 

The driver replied, "Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as an Uber driver – I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

Hoping to find water, he hurried towards ‘the object' only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling ties. The Taliban fighter asked, "Do you have water?!"

 

The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."

 

The Taliban fighter shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"

 

"Okay" said the old Jewish man, "It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom".

 

Muttering, the Taliban fighter staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead. "Your brother won't let me in without a tie."

So the vet picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he checks his teeth. Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down."

Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.

 

"Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband. He hadn’t, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.

"Please sir," says the waiter, "what you order?"

 

The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise."

 

"Ah! So sorry," says the waiter, "I bring you Peking Duck."

Interviewer: And the other one?

A man was having trouble getting his neighbor to keep his chickens fenced in. The neighbor kept talking about chickens being great creatures, and as such they had the right to go where they wanted.

 

The man was having no luck keeping the chickens out of his yard and ruining his flower beds. He had tried everything.

 

Two weeks later, a friend noticed his flower beds were doing great. The flowers were beginning to bloom.

 

So the friend asked him, "How did you make your neighbor finally keep his hens in his own yard?"

 

"Well, one night I hid half a dozen eggs under a bush by my flower bed, and the next day I let my neighbor see me gather them. I wasn't bothered after that."

As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband's ranch near Snowflake. She put a wooden box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband never to touch it.

For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone, until Aunt Edna was old and dying.

 

One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important. Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in cash. He took the box to her and asked about the contents

"My mother gave me that box the day we married," she explained. "She told me to make a doily to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you."

 

Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she'd only been mad at him twice.

 

"Where did the $82,500 come from?" he asked.
