One Liners from George Carlin

  • I typed the word Google into Google. Guess what came up? Everything.
  • You know what would be fun? To have a set of twins, name them Dumbo and Goofy and then just sit back and see how their personalities develop. I’ll bet they’d really enjoy going to school everyday.
  • I’ve never seen a homeless guy with a bottle of Gatorade.
  • In this country, alcohol is hardly ever seen as a drug problem. Instead, we think of it as more of a driving problem. 
  • I don’t own any stocks or bonds. All my money is tied up in debt.   
  • There are caregivers and there are caretakers, and yet the two words are not opposites. Why is this?
  • You know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar.
  • I have an impersonal trainer. We meet at the gym, we don’t talk, he works out alone, and I go home.
  • Regarding the Boy Scouts, I'm very suspicious of any organization that has a handbook.
  • You know what's fun? Go to a German restaurant and insist on using chopsticks.
  • People on a diet should have a salad dressing called "250 Islands."
  • If the reason for climbing Mt. Everest is that it's hard to do, why does everyone go up the easy side?
  • Here's my idea for another one of those "reality-based" TV shows: "No Survivors!" One by one, a psychopathic serial killer tracks down and kills all of the "Survivor" survivors. Think of it as a public service.
  • You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.
  • Regarding jam sessions: jazz musicians are the only workers I can think of who are willing to put in a full shift for pay and then go somewhere else and continue working for free.
  • Griddle cakes, pancakes, hotcakes, flapjacks: why are there four names for grilled batter and only one word for love?
  • I would like to open a restaurant, call it the Marilyn Monroe Café, and put hundreds of pictures of Jeff Goldblum on the wall.
  • When you think about it, 12:15 p.m. is actually 11:75 a.m.
  • Joan Rivers turned into one of the people she used to make fun of.
  • I know a transsexual guy whose only ambition is to eat, drink, and be Mary.
  • One thing nice about being dead is that you immediately become eligible to appear on stamps and money.

Cost-Effective

A little old man is walking down the street one afternoon when he sees a woman with perfect breasts. He says to her, "Hey miss, would you let me bite your breasts for $100?"

"Are you nuts?!!!" she replies, and keeps walking away.

He turns around, runs around the block and gets to the corner before she does."Would you let me bite your breasts for $1,000 dollars?' he asks again.

"Listen you; I'm not that kind of woman! Got it?"

So the little old man runs around the next block and faces her again, "Would you let me bite your breasts just once for $10,000 dollars?"

She thinks about it for a while. "Hmmm, $10,000 dollars; Ok, just once, but not here. Let's go to that dark alley over there."

So they go into the alley, where she takes off her blouse to reveal the most perfect breasts in the world. As soon as he sees them, he grabs them and starts caressing them, fondling them slowly, kissing them, licking them, burying his face in them, but not biting them.

The woman finally gets annoyed and asks, "Well? Are you gonna bite them or not?"

'"Nah", says the little old man...

"Costs too much!"

"A Little Bit of Knowledge"

A woman was out shopping one day with her son. The boy spotted a man who was bowlegged. The boy pulled on Mom's hand and said, "Momma, look at the bowlegged man!"

Mom was mortified and told her son that it was not polite to point to a person and make that sort of comment. For punishment, the boy had to read a play by Shakespeare. He couldn't go shopping again until he finished reading the play.

Finally he finished, and his mom took him once again to the mall. Again he spied a bowlegged man, but remembered what happened the last time.

So he pulled on his mother's hand and said, "Lo, what manner of men are these, who wear their balls in parentheses? "

Alex Rodriguez never gets clutch hits in October, yet his fans insist on comparing him to Babe Ruth. So A-Rod tries to get as close as he can to Ruth-type achievements. Before the playoffs last year, A-Rod went to a hospital and promised a dying kid that he'd ground out to second Base for him. And I was at the game, people, it's true - A-Rod pointed to second Base.

During a "Weekend Update" segment about Eliot Spitzer: And you wanted to have sex with a hooker but you didn't want to wear a condom? Really?!? That might not be scary if you were client number 1, but you were client number 9. I wear a condom if I'm ninth in line at the deli.

(Robert "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog" Smigel's favorite)

"Can I call you a car - or will you be riding a boxcar out of town?"

Todd Levin

I just got engaged. My fiancée won't take my name because "Lisa Levin" sounds awful. So she's just going to remain Lisa Hitler. I understand - it's a family name.

I had a bully as a kid. He was dyslexic, so he used to stick "Me Kick" signs on my back. Then everyone thought I was the bully - with bad grammar and the courtesy to give a heads up.

Freddie Roman

The Biker

A biker was riding by the  zoo when he saw a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.  Suddenly, the lion  grabbed her by the cuff of her jacket and tried to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. 

The biker jumped off his bike, ran to the cage and hit the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.  Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumped back and let go of the girl. The biker then took her to her terrified parents, who thanked him endlessly.
 
A reporter saw the whole scene, and addressing the biker, said, "Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've ever seen a man do in my whole life."
 
"Why, it was nothing," said the biker, "really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right."

"I noticed a patch on your jacket," said the journalist.
 
"Yeah, I ride with an Israeli motorcycle club," the biker replied. 
 
"Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed.  I'm a journalist with The Times, you  know, and tomorrow's papers will have this on the front page."
 
The following morning the biker bought the paper to see if it indeed brought out the news of his actions.  On the front page was the headline:
 
"ISRAELI GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND  STEALS HIS LUNCH"

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR  44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID:


"HONEY, 44  YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND  WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH  A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL.

NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00  CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A  65-YEAR OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."

MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN. SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT  25-YEAR-OLD GAL, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I  WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE  LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR,  SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED  AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE  TV.

Sayings of a Jewish Buddhist

  • If there is no self, whose arthritis  is this?
  •  
  • Be here now  Be someplace else  later. Is that so complicated?
  •  
  • Drink tea and nourish life; with the  first sip, joy; with the second sip, satisfaction; with the third sip,  peace; with the fourth, a Danish.
  • Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.
  • Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems. What would  you talk about?
  •  
  • The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single Oy.
  • There is no escaping karma.\ In a  previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited.. And whose fault was that?
  • Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have?  Bupkis
  • The Tao does not speak. The Tao does  not blame. The Tao does not take sides.The Tao has no expectations.The Tao  demands nothing of others. The Tao is not Jewish.
  • Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in.  Breathe out. Forget this and attaining Enlightenment  will be the least of your problems.
  • Let your mind be as a floating  cloud. Let your stillness be as a wooded glen.  And sit up  straight. You'll never meet the Buddha with such rounded  shoulders.
  • Deep inside you are ten thousand  flowers. Each flower blossoms ten thousand times. Each blossom  has ten thousand petals. You might want to see a  specialist.
  • Be aware of your body. Be aware  of your perceptions. Keep in mind that not every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.
  • The Torah says, Love your neighbor as yourself. The Buddha says, There is no self. So, maybe we're off the hook.

A Moose Tale

Two young hunters get a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They bag six. As they started loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot says the plane can take only four moose. The two lads object strongly, 

"Last year we shot six and the pilot let us put them all on board and he had the same plane as yours."   

Reluctantly, the pilot gives in and all six are loaded. However, even on full power, the little plane can't handle the load and goes down a few moments after takeoff.  

Climbing out of the wreck battered and bruised, one young hunter asks the other, "Any idea where we are?' 

"Yaaah, I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year!"

$20

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state.

During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go.

It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million.

Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out,

"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

(That's when she shot him. )

Two Lines

When everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter the Pearly Gates, God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line will be for the men who were the true heads of their households, and the other line will be for the men who were dominated by their women. I want all the women to report to St. Peter." 

Soon, the women were gone, and there were two lines of men.

The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 miles long, and in the line of men who truly were heads of their households, there was only one man.

God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves.  I created you to be the heads of your households! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose!  Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him."

God turned to the one man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this line?"

The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here."

Letter to Our Pets

Dear Dogs and Cats,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food.The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Beating me to the bottom is not the object.Tripping me doesn't help
because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.  It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered.  Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To All  Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here.You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
(That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. To you, it's an animal.  To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Star Struck --True Story

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small new  England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited. One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long  walk.  After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat  herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.

She hopped  in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to  the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.There was only one other patron in the store.Paul Newman, sitting at the counter  having a doughnut and coffee.

The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue  eyes.The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.

"Pull yourself together!" she chided  herself. "You're a happily married woman with three children, you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!"

The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.

When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but  her other hand was empty.  Where's my ice cream cone?  Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something.  No ice cream cone was in sight.

With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.  His face broke into his familiar warm friendly grin andhe said to the  woman,

"You  put it in your purse."

The Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

"You may visit this store ONLY  ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!"

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These Men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: Floor 2 - These Men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

"That's nice", she thinks, "but I want more."

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These Men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These Men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These Men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Voted Best Short Joke of 2007

For his birthday, little Ben asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it." 

The next day the father saw little Ben heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son, where are you going?"  Little Ben told him; "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling Mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. So I'm not staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage and no bike!"

Back to Ya'

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes.We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching ateenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him.

The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response:

"Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."

 Good Coordination

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and a gorgeous solo lady is sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
"Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you."

They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre, followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They have a wonderful, romantic time.

The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been so incredible!

"You know," he says, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?"

"No," she replies. "You just happened to catch my eye."

So True

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall in Jerusalem to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out.

She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray, and after 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.

"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?

"Morris Fishbien," he replied.

"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall to pray?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That's amazing!

What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a f---in' wall."

Senior Exercise Program

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand, and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level ...

put a potato in each of the sacks.

"Nice tooth!"

_____

Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.

Arlene: What in the hell is that?

Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.

Arlene: Where did you get it?

Jane: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers.    

"Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel."

The Old Poodle

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her
faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles
discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading  
rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I
wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for
protection from the leopard. So off he goes. But the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."

The old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

Moral of this story....

Wrong Side of the Bed!

Mother Superior was on her way to late morning prayers when she passed  two
novices just leaving early morning prayers, on their way to classes. As she passed the young ladies, Mother Superior said, "Good morning sisters." The novices replied, "Good morning, Mother Superior, may God be with you." 

But after they had passed, Mother Superior heard one say to the other, "I think she got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning." This startled Mother Superior, but she chose not to pursue the issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little further down the hall, Mother Superior passed two of the Sisters who had been teaching at the convent for several years. She greeted them with, "Good morning Sister Martha, Sister Jessica, may God give you wisdom for our students today."  "Good morning, Mother Superior. Thank you, and may God be with you."

But again, after passing, Mother Superior overheard, "She got out of the wrong side of bed today."  Baffled, she started to wonder if she had spoken harshly, or with an irritated look on her face. She vowed to be more pleasant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking down the hall, Mother Superior saw retired Sister Mary approaching, step by step, with her walker. Mother Superior had plenty of time to arrange a pleasant smile on her face, before greeting Sister Mary.  "Good morning, Sister Mary. I'm so happy to see you up and about. I pray God watches over you today, and grants you a wonderful day."

"Ah, Good morning, Mother Superior, and thank you. I see you got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Mother Superior was floored!  "Sister Mary, what have I done wrong? I have  tried to be pleasant,  but three times already today, people have said that about me." 

Sister Mary stopped her walker, and looked Mother Superior in the face. "Oh, don't take it personal, Mother Superior. It's  just that you're wearing Father Murphy's slippers!"

Mom

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son."

He answered, "That's okay."

"I know it's silly," she said, "but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."

She then went through the checkout. And as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him.

Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries. "That comes to $121.85," said the clerk.

"How come so much? I only bought 5 items."

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."

They Need a Solo Woman!

Tom had been in the liquor business for 25 years. Finally  sick of the stress, he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska, as far from humanity as possible.
 
He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace and quiet. After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone  knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there.
 
"Name's Lars, your neighbor from forty miles up the road.Having a Christmas party Friday night... Thought you might like to come. About 5:00."
 
"Great", says Tom, "after six months out here I' m ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
 
As Lars is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you.....be some drinkin'."
 
"Not a problem" says Tom. "After 25 years in the business,  I can drink with the best of 'em."
 
Again, the big man starts to leave and stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."
 
"Well, I get along with people, I'll be all right. I'll be there, Thanks again."
 
"More'n likely be some wild sex, too,"
 
"Now that's really not a problem" says Tom, warming to the idea. "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
 
"Don't much matter .. Just gonna be the two of us."

Giving Up Wine


I was accosted by a dirty, shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
.
I took out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money will you buy wine instead of dinner?"

"No," she said "I had to stop drinking."

"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food"?

"No, I don't waste time shopping."

"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food"?

"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman.

"Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm
going to take you out for dinner with my boyfriend."

The homeless woman was shocked. "Won't your boyfriend be mad? I'm pretty disgusting. I really smell bad."


"That's okay," I said. "It's important for him to see what a woman is like after she's given up shopping, hair appointments and wine!"

Healthcare Today

Two patients limp into two different American medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.
The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day, has a time booked for surgery the next day and, within two days, is home recuperating.

The second sees the family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another month and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?

The first is a Golden Retriever. The second is a senior citizen.

A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestured alluringly to the bartender.  
She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers.
  

"Are you the manager?" she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands.  

"Actually, no," he replied.  

"Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him about something ...private," she said urgently, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.  

"I'm afraid I can't," breathed the bartender, excited beyond belief.. "But i s there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes, there is," she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender's lip and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. " It's very personal, and a very... intimate ... request."

"What do you want from me?" the bartender managed to say, his breath heavy with desire. "I'll do it."

"Well," she whispered, "There's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room."

Little Cody was staying with his Grandma for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?"

She was a little taken back, but she decided to just tell him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling".

Little Cody just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called bunk beds. And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you."

The Elderly Irish Virgin

In a tiny village on the Irish coast lived an old lady, a virgin and very proud of it. Sensing that her final days were rapidly approaching, and desiring to make sure everything was in proper order when she dies, she went to the town's undertaker (who also happened to be the local postal clerk) to make proper "final" arrangements. As a last wish, she informed the? undertaker that she wanted the following inscription engraved on her tombstone: "BORN A VIRGIN, LIVED AS A VIRGIN, DIED A VIRGIN"

Not long after, the old maid died peacefully.A few days after the funeral, as the undertaker--postal clerk went to prepare the tombstone that the lady had requested, it became quite apparent that the tombstone that she had selected was much too small for the wording that she had chosen.

He thought long and hard about how he could fulfil the old maid's final request, considering the very limited space available on the small piece of stone. For days, he agonized over the dilemma. But finally his experience as a postal worker allowed him to come up with what he thought was the appropriate solution to the problem. The virgin's tombstone was finally completed and duly engraved: "RETURNED UNOPENED"

The Italian, nodding agreement, says, "But we built the Roman Empire." And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion.

With a flourish of finality the Greek says, "We invented sex!"

The Italian replies, "Yes, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women!"

Day 983 of my captivity.  My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.  They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!  There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of  "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.  I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.  The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.  For now....

The Five Stages of a Woman's Life

To grow up, to fill out, to slim down, to hold it in, and -- to hell with it.

_____


Two very elderly friends, Max and Wally, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. One day Wally didn't show up. Max figured maybe he had a cold or some such.

But after Wally hadn't shown up for a week, Max really got worried. However, the only time they ever got together anymore (they used to play a lot of golf together) was at the park, and Max couldn't remember where Wally lived, so he was unable to find out what had happened to him.

A month passed and Max figured old Wally had gone to his heavenly reward, but one day Max approached the park, and there sat Wally! Max was very excited to see him. Then he said, "For crying out loud Wally, what happened to you???"

Wally replied, "I've been in jail."

"Jail?," cried Max. "What in the world for?"

"Well," Wally said, "You know Sue, that cute little blonde waitress at the coffee shop where we sometimes get coffee?"

"Yeah" said Max, "I remember her. What about her?"

"Well one day last month she got mad at me, and to get even, she charged me with rape. I was so proud that everyone would think an old fart like me could still do it, that when I got into court, I pled guilty."

The judge then took a good look at me and gave me 30 days for perjury."

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.

She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.

He asked her about the contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.

"Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the dolls."

Always There

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, he motions for her to come nearer.

As she sits by him, he whispers, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side...You know what?"

"What dear?" she gently asks, smiling as her heart begins to fill with warmth.

"I think you're bad luck. Get the f--k away from me!"

Adam and Eve

God Said, "Adam, I want you to do  something for  me."
Adam said, "Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?"
God said, "Go down into that valley."
Adam said, "What's a valley?"
God explained it to him.
  
Then God said, "Cross the river."
Adam said, "What's a river?"
God explained that to him, and then said,
"Go over to the hill......."
Adam said, "What is a hill?"
So, God explained to Adam what a hill was.
  
He told Adam, "On the other side of the hill you will find a cave."
Adam said, "What's a cave?"
After God explained, he said, "In the cave you will find a woman."
Adam said, "What's a woman?"
So God explained that to him, too.
  
Then, God said, "I want you to reproduce."
Adam said, "How do I do that?"
God first said (under his breath), "Geez....." !
And then, just like everything else, God explained that to Adam as well.
  
So, Adam goes down into the valley, across the river, and over
The hill, into the cave, and finds the woman.
Then, in about five minutes, he was back.
God, his patience wearing thin, said angrily, "What is it now?"
And Adam said...
  
  
          "What's a  headache?"

If My Body Were a Car

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull, but that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it --
 
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

leave.

Finally the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?"

and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house.

Enough Already

Fred returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live. Given this prognosis, Fred and his wife make love.

About six hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, "Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live. Could we please do it one more time?" Of course, the wife agrees and they do it again.

Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes he now has only eight hours left. He touches his wife's shoulder and asks, "Honey, please just one more time before I die?"  She says, "Of course,dear." And they make love for the third time.

After this session, the wife rolls over and falls asleep. Fred, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns until he's down to four more hours. He taps his wife, who rouses. "Honey,do you think we could.....?"

At this point the wife sits up and says, "Listen Fred, I have to get up in the morning. You don't."

Computer Gender

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. "House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender  ("la computadora"), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half  your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el computador"), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are  the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

A Political Joke

Bill Clinton is placed against the wall, and just before the order to shoot him is given, he yells, "Earthquake!" The firing squad falls into a panic and Bill jumps over the wall and escapes in the confusion.

John McCain is the second one placed against the wall. The squad is reassembled and John ponders what Bill has done. Before the order to shoot is given, John yells, "Tornado!". Again the squad falls apart and McCain slips over the wall, thus making his escape.

The last person, George W. Bush, is placed against the wall.  He is thinking, "I see the pattern here, just scream out a disaster and hop over the wall! Hmm... I better not say 'Hurricane,' or they'll think of Katrina. I know what to do." As the firing squad is reassembled and the rifles raised in his direction, he smirks his famous smirk and yells, "Fire!"

A woman and her nasty, unfaithful husband went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the husband passed away. The undertaker told the wife, "You can have him shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land, for $150." 

The woman thought about it and told the undertaker she would just have him shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your husband home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here, and you would spend  only $150?"

The woman replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead.  I just can't take that chance!"
