The employee was calling in sick more than he was at work.

Finally, the good-natured boss was compelled to call the worker into his office.

“It has not escaped my attention,” he pointed out, “that every time there’s a home game at the stadium, you have to take your mother to the doctor.”

“You know you’re right, sir,” exclaimed the employee, “I didn’t realize it. You don’t suppose she’s faking, do you?”

A priest, a minister and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job.

So they each go into the woods, find a bear and attempt to convert it.

Later they get together.

The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion.”

“I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister. “I preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.”

They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. “Looking back,” he says. “Maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.”

Name and Address?

A cop pulled over two drunks, and asked to the first, "What's your name and address?"

"I'm Paddy O'Day, of no fixed address." The cop turned to the second drunk, and asked the same question. "I'm Seamus O'Toole, and I live in the flat above Paddy."

I saw a security guard the other day sleeping at 2 p.m., like a baby... I haven't slept like a baby in 10 years because I'm up thinking about stuff -- like goals. This guy had the right attitude: 'I've failed. Oh well. Night-night.'

Toward the end of our senior year in high school, we were required to take a CPR course. The classes used the well known mannequin victim, Resusci-Annie, to practice.

Typical of most models, this Resusci-Annie was only a torso, to allow for storage in a carrying case.

The class went off in groups to practice. As instructed, one of my classmates gently shook the doll and asked “Are you all right?” He then put his ear over the mannequin’s mouth to listen for breathing.

Suddenly he turned to the instructor and exclaimed, “She said she can’t feel her legs!”

Wife: No, only when he’s drunk.

Taliban gets schooled
In Leatherneck math
A large group of Taliban insurgents are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune: “One Marine is better than ten Taliban.”

The Taliban commander quickly sends ten of his best jihadis over the dune, whereupon a gun battle breaks out and continues for several tense minutes. Then silence.

The voice then calls out again: “One Marine is better than one hundred Taliban fighters.”

Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune, and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After ten minutes of battle, again silence.

The Marine voice calls out once more: “One Marine is better than one thousand Taliban.”

The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand men and sends them screaming “Allahu akbar” as they cross over the dune. Cannon, rocket, mortar, grenade and machine-gun fire ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then total silence.

Finally, one critically wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune, and with his dying words tell his commander, “Don’t send any more men, it’s a trap. There are two Marines!”

While sport fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft. Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, “Are there any gators around here?”

“Nah,” the man hollered back, “they ain’t been around for years!”

“Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.

About halfway there he asked the guy, “How’d you get rid of the gators?”

“We didn’t do nothin’,” the beachcomber said.

“The sharks got ’em.”

An old man and woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night.

The old man would shout, “When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!”

Neighbors feared him, and the old man liked the fact that he was feared. To everyone’s relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 98 and his wife had a closed casket at the funeral.

After the burial, her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked “Aren’t you afraid he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?”

The wife said, “Let him dig. I had him buried face down, and I know he won’t ask for directions.”

A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness.
Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it."

The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It'sroughly $1000 an inch."

The man perks up.

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

The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.

The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?"
"Yes I have," says the man.

"And has she helped you make a decision?"

"Yes" says the man.

"Whatis your decision?" asks the doctor.

"Were getting granite counter tops.

Shop 'til
He drops
A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas.

The wife suddenly noticed her husband had gone missing so she called him on the cellphone.

The wife said, “Where are you? I’m looking all over for you and we still have lots to do.”

He said, “You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?”

Her eyes filled with tears and she got all choked up.

“Yes, I do remember that shop,” she smiled.

“Well, I’m in the back of the gun shop next door to that.”

An 80-year-old Texas farmer goes to the clinic in Dallas for a check-up.

The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, “How do you stay in such great physical condition?”

“I’m from Texas, and in my spare time I like to hunt and fish”, says the old guy, “and that’s why I’m in such good shape. I’m up well before daylight in the field plowing and mending fences and when I’m not doing that, I’m out hunting or fishing. In the evening, I have a beer and all is well.”

“Well”, says the doctor, “I’m sure that helps, but there’s got to be more to it. How old was your father when he died?”

“Who said my father’s dead?”

The doctor is amazed, “You mean you’re 80 years old and your father’s still alive? How old is he?”

“He’s 100 years old”, says the old Texas boy. “In fact he worked and hunted with me this morning. Then we went to the bar for a while and had some beers. That’s why he’s still alive. He’s a Texas farmer. And he’s a hunter and fisherman, too.”

“Well”, the doctor says, “that’s great, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that. How about your father’s father? How old was he when he died?”

“Who said my grandpa’s dead?”

Stunned, the doctor asks, “You mean you’re 80 years old and your grandfather is still alive?”

“He’s 118 years old”, says the man.

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, “So, I guess he went hunting with you this morning too?”

“No, Grandpa couldn’t go this morning because he’s getting married today.”

At this point the doctor is close to losing it, “Getting married!! Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?”

“Who said he wanted to?”

Church Money

A minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building.

Therefore, he talked with the organist to see what kind of inspirational music she could play after the announcement about the finances to get the congregation in a giving mood.

"Don't worry," she said. "I'll think of something."

During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."

Just at that moment, the organist started playing, "The Star Spangled Banner."

Let There Be Light

In a physics course, which involved light, electricity and magnetism, the students were required to read the week's experiment before coming to class...

At one lab session the student assistant wanted to see how many of his pupils had actually done so.

"What are the two types of light?" he asked.

The lab fell quiet until one wise guy raised his hand and said, "Uhhh, Actually there are three: Bud, Coors and Miller!"

After 30 years of wondering why he didn’t look like his younger sister or brother, the man finally got up the nerve to ask his mother if he was adopted.

“Yes, you were, son,” his mother said as tears came to her eyes, “but it didn’t work out, and they brought you back.”

A penguin is driving along the highway when, suddenly his engine starts running rough and he sees smoke in his rear view mirror. He pulls off the highway and finds the nearest service station, and pulls up to the garage with the car shaking and sputtering. He tells the mechanic what happened, and the mechanic says "OK, give me 10 minutes to check it out."

Meanwhile, the penguin sees an ice cream shop across the street. Thinking this is a perfect time for a tasty treat, he heads over and gets himself an ice cream cone.

After he finishes, he walks back over to the garage, and asks the mechanic "So, did you find out what's wrong?"

The mechanic looks at the penguin and says "It looks like you blew a seal."

The penguin quickly wipes his face and says "Oh, no, that's just the ice cream."

Men Are Just Happier People.


What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.


Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.


A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.


You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one colour for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier.

I rent a lot of cars, but I don't always know everything about them. So a lot of times, I drive for like ten miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it really doesn't say a lot for the emergency brake. It's really not an emergency brake; it's an emergency "make the car smell funny" lever.

It's a joke...


And today's joke---
A nun gets in a cab and after going a few blocks, notices the handsome, young driver staring at her through the mirror. She asks if there's a problem or if he needs something and the cabbie says, "I have a question but don't want to shock you." Sister replies, "Young man, when you've been a nun in a New York parish as long as I have, few things if any, shock or offend you. Ask your question." The driver says he has always fantasized about kissing a nun and would she allow him to. After thinking a minute the nun says, "Under two conditions: You must be single and a Catholic." After he swears he is both, she tells him to pull over on the first empty street he sees and when he does, the nun gives him a deep, passionate kiss that would make a hooker blush. They drive off and noticing the driver crying, she asks him what's wrong. He says, "I'm so ashamed of myself for lying to a nun! I'm married and Jewish." After a minute of silence, the answer from the back seat is, "My name is Jake and I'm going to a Halloween party."

Jake, an inventor, is struggling through a bus station with two huge and heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up and asks, “Have you got the time?”

Jake sighs, puts down the suitcases. “It’s 5:45.”

“That’s a nice watch!” notes the stranger.

“Yeah, check this out, time-zone display for every time zone in the world and the 86 largest metropolises.” He hits a few buttons and a voice says, “The time is 11 ’till six.”

“That’s not all” Jake proudly says.

He pushes another button and a map of New York City appears on a screen. “The flashing dot shows our location by satellite positioning,”

“I want to buy this watch!” says the stranger.

“Oh, no, it’s not ready for sale yet” says the inventor. “But check this, it’s got an FM-radio receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device that can measure distances up to 300 feet and, most-impressive of all, the capacity for voice recordings of up to 300 standard-size books.”

“I’ve got to have this watch!” says the stranger.

“It’s really not ready …”

“I’ll give you $1,000 for it!”

“Oh, no, I’ve already spent more than …”

“I’ll give you $5,000 for it!”

“But it’s just not …”

“I’ll give you $15,000 for it – take it or leave it.” The stranger pulls out a checkbook.

Jake abruptly makes his decision. “OK,” he says and peels off the watch, making the exchange. The stranger starts happily away.

“Hey, wait a minute,” calls Jake after the stranger, who turns around warily.

Jake points to the two suitcases he’d been trying to wrestle through the bus station.

“Don’t forget your batteries.”

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director, "How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?"

"Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a
teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE??
