The lawyer was cross-examining a witness.

“Isn’t it true,” he bellowed, “that you were given $500 to throw this case?”

The witness did not answer. Instead, he just stared out the window as though he hadn’t heard the question.

The attorney repeated himself, again getting no response.

Finally, the judge spoke to the witness, “Please answer the question.”

“Oh,” said the startled witness, “I thought he was talking to you.”

Clean Dishes with Coldwater: A MUST READ!
Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?This is for all the germ conscious folksthat worry about using cold water to clean.



John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan ..


After spending a great evening chatting the night away,the next morning John's grandfather preparedbreakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.


However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate,and questioned his grandfather asking,

'Are these plates clean?'

His grandfather replied,

'They're as clean as cold water can get em.
Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!'


For lunch the old man made hamburgers.


Again, John was concerned about the plates,as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked,

'Are you sure these plates are clean?'

Without looking up the old man said,

'I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't youfret, I don't want to hear another word about it!'

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby townand as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass.

John yelled and said, 'Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car'.


Without diverting his attention from the football gamehe was watching on TV, the old man shouted!

'Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!'

The bartender asks the guy sitting at the bar, “What’ll you have?” The guy answers, “A scotch, please.”

The bartender hands him the drink and says, “That’ll be five dollars,” to which the guy replies, “What are you talking about? I don’t owe you anything for this.”

A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, then says to the bartender, “You know, he’s got you there. In the original offer, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration.”

The bartender was not impressed but says to the guy, “Okay, you beat me for a drink. But don’t ever let me catch you in here again.”

The next day, same guy walks into the bar. Bartender says, “What the heck are you doing in here? I can’t believe you’ve got the audacity to come back!”

The guy says, “What are you talking about? I’ve never been in this place in my life!”

The bartender replies, “I’m very sorry, but this is uncanny. You must have a double.”

To which the guy replies, “Thank you. Make it a scotch.”

So Mickey is distraught, face in his hands, sitting across from his lawyer.Just weaping uncontrolably, cant barely string two words together.

His lawyer councels him, " Mr. Mouse, just think of the long and successful lives you've shared together. There's just no way a judge will grant you a divorce just because you found out Minnie is a little crazy."

Mickey looks up at him and says, " I don't find her a little crazy, I said I found her f**king Goofy!!!"

A man returns home a day early from a business trip.
It's after midnight. While en-route home, he asks the cabby if he would be a witness,
because the man suspects his wife is having an affair, and he wants to catch her in the act.
For $100, the cabby agrees.
Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip toe into the bedroom. The husband
switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back and there is his wife, naked as a jay bird,
with a man, totally nude also. The husband puts a gun to the naked man's head.
The wife shouts, “Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money.”

* HE paid for the Porsche I gave you.
* HE paid for your new 25 ft. Ranger Fishing Boat.
* HE paid for your Football season tickets.
* HE paid for our house at the lake.
* HE paid for your Golf Trip to St Andrews and your new 4 x 4.
* HE paid for our country club membership and he even pays the monthly dues.
* And because of HIM, I can put an extra $2,000 in our checking account each month.
Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun. He looks over at the cabby
and says, 'What would you do'?
The cabby replies, 'I'd cover him with that blanket, before he catches a cold.'

At a naval barracks the enlisted men were being given their shots prior to going overseas. One lad, having received his series of injections, asked for a glass of water.

“What’s the matter, mate?” asked the sick-bay attendant. “Not feeling well?”

“No, just checking to see if I’m still watertight.”

A grade school teacher in a small Vermont town asks her class how many of them are Barack Obama fans.

Not really knowing what a Barack Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands except little Johnny.

The teacher asks Johnny why he has decided to be different.

Johnny says, “I’m not a Barack Obama fan.”

The teacher asks, “Why not?”

Johnny says, “I’m a Donald Trump fan.”

The teacher asks why he’s a Donald Trump fan.

The boy says, “Well, my mom’s a Donald Trump fan and my dad’s a Donald Trump fan, so I’m a Donald Trump fan!”

The teacher is a bit angry, because this IS Vermont, so she asks, “What if your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?”

Johnny says, “That would make me a Barack Obama fan.”

Attorney: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
Witness: No.

Attorney: Did you check for blood pressure?
Witness: No.
Attorney: Did you check for breathing?
Witness: No.
Attorney: So then, it is possible the patient was alive when you began the autopsy, is it not?
Witness: No.
Attorney: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
Witness: Because his brain was on my desk in a jar.
Attorney: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
Witness: Yes, it is possible he could have still been alive … and practicing law.

NASA was interviewing professionals to be sent to Mars. Only one person could go, and he would be unable to return to Earth.

The first applicant, an engineer, was asked how much he wanted to be paid for taking the one-way trip.

“A million dollars,” he answered, “because I wish to donate it to M.I.T.”

The next applicant, a doctor, was asked the same question.

He asked for two million dollars. “I wish to give a million to my family,” he explained, “and leave the other million for the advancement of medical research.”

The last applicant was a politician.

When asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the interviewer’s ear, “Three million dollars.”

“Why so much more than the others?” the interviewer asked.

The politician replied, “One million is for you, I’ll keep one million, and we’ll give the engineer a million and send him to Mars.”

It was very crowded at the supermarket, and the customer in front of me had a large order.

As the harried clerk lifted the final bag for her, its bottom gave way, sending the contents crashing to the floor.

“They just don’t make these bags like they used to,” the clerk complained to the customer. “That was supposed to happen in your driveway!”

Two Yankee boys were driving through the South and were stopped by a state trooper.

The trooper walked up to the open driver’s window, reached in and slapped the driver on the side of his head.

“What did you do that for?” the driver asked.

“I don’t know how y’all do it up north, but here in Alabama you have your driver’s license ready when I walk up to the car.”

The trooper took the license when it was offered, walked back to his unit and then returned the license to the driver.

He then walked around to the passenger side of the car and tapped on the window.

When the passenger rolled the window down, the trooper reached in and slapped the passenger on the side of the head.

“What did you do that for?” asked the startled passenger.

“Well,” responded the trooper, “I didn’t want you to be disappointed. You’ll get about two miles down the road and then say, ‘I wish that redneck woulda tried that with me!'”

There is a story about monastery in Europe perched high on a cliff several 100 feet in the air.
The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket, which was pulled to the top by several monks, who pulled and tugged with all their strength.
Obviously, the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying.

One tourist got exceedingly nervous when he was half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was suspended was old and frayed.
With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding with him in the basket how often they change the rope.
The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, "Whenever it breaks."

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a “great” writer.

When asked to define “great” he said, “I want to write words that the whole world will read, words that people will react to on a truly emotional level, words that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation and anger!”

Hard work and desire paid off.

Today, that once-young man works for Microsoft writing error messages.

One Sunday a Minister feigned illness so he could go deer hunting. That morning he shot a fantastic 14-point buck! Saint Peter looked down from Heaven and said to God, “You aren’t going to let him bag a prize like that are you?” “Why not?” God replied. “Who’s he going to tell?”

Being a Vermonter and one of the few that voted for Trump I will tell this story to every Trump hater I know.

The customer in the Italian restaurant was so pleased with his meal that he asked to speak to the chef.

The owner proudly led him into the kitchen and introduced him to the chef.

“Your veal parmigiana was superb,” the customer said. “I just spent a month in Italy, and yours is better than any I ever had over there.”

“Naturally,” the chef said. “Over there, they use domestic cheese. Ours is imported!”

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'
'No,' she answered.
I then ...said, 'Is that your final answer?'
... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
________________________________
I took my wife to a restaurant.
The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself."
And that's when the fight started.....
_____________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school
reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his
drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
I asked her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he
hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started...
________________________________
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat,
making beer.. Always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing
scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into
the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again
I handed her a toothbrush.
I said, "When you finish cutting the
grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
_____________________________
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."
And then the fight started...
________________________________
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the
boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential
downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather
would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back;
now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
_______________________________
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started......
______________________________
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply
for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me
for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets
and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that
I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
She said, 'You should have dropped
your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'
And then the fight started...
________________________________
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you
to pay me a compliment.'
I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."
And then the fight started........
________________________________
I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'
So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'
That's how the fight started.
________________________________
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot
as a Christmas gift...
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift
When she asked me why, I replied,
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.

Several days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel. I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down — I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.

Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them.

Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the door, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty.

I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all,

“Honey,” I stammered — I always call her “honey” in times like these. “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice.

“Idiot”, she barked, “I dropped you off!”

Now it was my time to be silent.

Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

She retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car.”

Yep, it’s the golden years …
