Friday's Funnies

Creation

A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear, Mom?" The mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children, and those children grew and had children and eventually so was all mankind made." Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. He answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys and apes from which the human race evolved." The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God making Adam and Eve, and Dad said we developed from monkeys and apes?" The mother answered, "Well, dear, it's very simple; I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his."

Cash Extraction

The kid had swallowed a coin and it got stuck in his throat, and his mother ran out in the street yelling for help. A man passing by took the boy by his shoulders and hit him with a few strong strokes on the back, and he coughed the coin out. "I don't know how to thank you, doctor," his mother started. "I'm not a doctor," the man replied. "I'm from the IRS."

Very Punny

Teaching junior high school English, Mr. Speller emphasized the importance of nice clean margins on student papers. One seventh-grade boy said in his essay that he was sorry to write in the margarine. When he graded his paper, Mr. Speller added a little note next to his that said, "Maybe next time you will do butter."

Life's Little Truisms

  1. Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!
  2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
  3. Always read and do stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
  4. Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
  5. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
  6. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
  7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
  8. Never buy a car you can't push.
  9. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
  10. Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
  11. Remember — the second mouse gets the cheese.
  12. When everything's coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane.
  13. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
  14. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
  15. Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
  16. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
  17. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

High cost of free

Outraged by the high charges that the computer service wanted for repair work, one employee asked her co-worker which service she used. “My sons,” was the reply. “They both have degrees in Computer Science.” “So you get that kind of work done for nothing,” the friend marveled. The co-worker smiled. “Actually, I figured that it cost me about $140,000 for my kids to fix my computer for free.”

Deep Hole

Two southern gentlemen(from Oklahoma) are out hunting, and as they are walking along, they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter says, "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is." The second hunter says, "I don't know. Let's throw something down and listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom." The first hunter says, "There's an old automobile transmission here. Give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see." So they pick it up and carry it over; count one, two, and three; and throw it in the hole. They are standing there listening and looking over the edge when they hear a rustling in the brush behind them.

As they turn around, they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole, and with no hesitation, jump in head first. While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole, and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up. "Say there," says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?" The first hunter says, "Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' about a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this hole here!" The old farmer said, "That's impossible. I had him chained to a transmission!"

Meet and Greet

Spotted outside a church in Michigan: "Honk if you love Jesus. Keep on texting while you drive if you want to meet him."

Friday's Funnies

The Reason For It

Driving down the highway, I saw this slogan on the back of a well-known trucking company's vehicle: "We Always Go the Extra Mile." In the grime beneath it, someone had scrawled, "That's Because We Missed the Last exit."

Cafeteria Rules

Proper attire is required in the cafeteria at the University of Maine. To enforce that rule, the management posted this notice: "Shoes are required to eat in this cafeteria." Next to it, a student added, "Socks can eat wherever they want."

Have You Ever Wondered....

why the sun lightens our hair but darkens our skin?

why you never see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

why "abbreviated" is such a long word?

why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?

why there isn't mouse-flavored cat food?

why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?

why they don't just make the entire airplane out of the same material as those indestructible black boxes?

Now That's Bad

Two brothers, both farmers, were talking on the phone. One asks the other how bad the drought is. The other replied, "Well it's got so bad they've closed two lanes at the local swimming pool."

Making Faces

Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday school teacher said, "Johnny, when I was a child, I was told if that I made an ugly face, it would freeze and I would stay like that." Johnny looked up and replied, "Well, Ms. Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."

Different Interpretation

You, "said the doctor to his patient, "are in terrible shape. You've got to do something about it. First, tell your wife to cook more nutritious meals. Stop working like a dog. To reduce stress, inform your wife you're going to make a budget and she has to stick to it. And have her keep the kids off your back so you can relax. Unless there are some changes in your life, you'll probably be dead in a month." "Doc," the patient said, "this would sound more official coming from you. Could you please call my wife and give her those instructions?" When the fellow got home, his wife rushed to him. "I talked to the doctor," she wailed. "Poor man, you only have 30 days to live."

Wrong?

One day when my sister was about three years old, she put her shoes on. As three year-olds sometimes do, she put them on the wrong foot. My mother said, "Denise you have your shoes on the wrong feet!" My sister looked down and innocently said, "But mommy, these are the only feet I have!"

The sermon

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 just finished his sermon. He went and sat down with his wife and she asked him how he thought the church service went. The Preacher shrugged and said, “The worship was excellent, and I think the prayer and communion times went quite well, but,” he continued, “I just don’t think the sermon ever got off the ground.” The wife looked over at him, and before she could stop herself, she said, “Well, it sure did taxi long enough!”
