The Doctor

The Doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill so the doctor gave him another six months. 

The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back.” Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"

The Drunk

A drunk was in front of a judge.  The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking."  The drunk says "Okay, let's get started."

School play

A boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play.  She asks, "What part is it?"  The boy says, "I play the part of the husband."  "The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."

Auction

One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid – the parrot was his at last!  As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the auctioneer, “I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can’t talk!”  “Don’t worry,” said the auctioneer, “He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?”

Test results

Bob and Joe sat next to each other taking a test. When they finished, the teacher called them up to the front of the room and said, “Boys, I will have to give both of you a zero on this test.”  “W-why?” they wanted to know, though Joe was shifting uncomfortably.  She said, “Your answers were too nearly alike. One of you cheated and the other one let him do it.”  “What makes you think we cheated?” Bob asked. “That could have been a coincidence.”  The teacher said, “I might have believed that if it wasn’t for the fact that when you came to question #10, Bob wrote in ’I don’t know’ for the answer, and you, Joe, put ’Me neither’!”

Medication

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor’s office.  “Is it true,” she wanted to know, “that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?”  “Yes, I’m afraid so,” the doctor told her.  There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, “I’m wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked ‘NO REFILLS’.”
  
Movie commotion

We went to the movies the other night. I sat in an aisle seat as I usually do because it feels a little roomier. Just as the feature was about to start, a person from the center of the row got up and started working their way across.  “Excuse me, sorry, oops, excuse me, pardon me, gotta hurry, oops, excuse me.”  By the time the person got to me I was trying to see the screen and I was a little impatient so I said, “Couldn’t you have done this a little earlier?”  “No!!” was the loud whisper, “The TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE PLEASE message just flashed up on the screen and mine is out in the car.”

No sense being pessimistic; it probably won't work anyway.

Reasons for divorce

A lady goes to a divorce lawyer and says “I want a divorce.”
The lawyer says, “Do you have grounds?”
“Oh yes,” she said, “We have about 4 acres and a long driveway”.
“No, no, you have misunderstood me. I mean do you have a grudge?”
She said “No it’s not a grudge, we have a carport.”
He said “No that’s not what I meant. Let me put it another way. Why do you want a divorce?”
“Oh that’s easy. It’s my husband. He can’t hold a sensible conversation!”

Picnic

On Monday the minister's little daughter was very naughty, so her mother told her she couldn't go to the Sunday School picnic on Saturday.  For the next few days the girl's behaved so nicely the mother changed her mind and said she could go to the picnic after all. Surprisingly, the child's reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness.  "What's the matter?" asked her mother. "I thought you'd be glad to go to the picnic."  "It's too late," said the little girl. "I've already prayed for rain!"

God will provide

A young woman brought her fiancĂ© to visit her parents. After a nice dinner, the father invited the fiancĂ© to the library for a talk.  "So what are your plans?" he asked the young man.  "I am a seminary student," he replied.  "A seminary student. Hmmm," said the father. "Admirable, but how will you provide a home for my daughter?"  "I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."  "And how will you buy her an engagement ring, such as she deserves?"  "I will focus on my studies and God will provide for us."  "And how will you support your children?"  "Don't worry, sir. God will provide."  The conversation continued like this; each time the father questioned, the young man insisted that God would provide.  Later, when the mother asked about the male conversation, the father sighed, "Well, he has no job and no plan, but the good news is: he thinks I'm God!"

Joke

At a recent concert, Scott Fowler of Legacy Five was giving Scott Howard grief over his socks. Howard said, "They're golf socks." Fowler scoffed, "Golf socks? They're just threadbare." Howard explained: "They have a hole-in-one!"

School Discipline

A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, and with the students watching, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. Discipline was not a problem from that day forth!

Oops

My boss phoned me today.  He said, "Is everything okay at the office?"  I said, "Yes, it's all under control. It's been a very busy day, I haven't stopped for a minute."  "Can you do me a favor?" he asked.  I said, "Of course, anything, what is it?"  He said, "Hurry up and take your shot, I'm right behind you on the 7th hole."

Left handed

Little Bobby was spending the weekend with his grandmother after a particularly trying week in kindergarten.  His grandmother decided to take him to the park on Saturday morning. It had been snowing all night and everything was beautiful.  His grandmother remarked, "Doesn't it look like an artist painted this scenery? Did you know God painted this just for you?"  Bobby said, "Yes, God did it and he did it left handed."  This confused his grandmother a bit, and she asked him "What makes you say God did this with his left hand?"  "Well," said Bobby, "we learned at Sunday School last week that Jesus sits on God's right hand."

6.    A convict broke out of jail in Washington, DC, and then a few days later accompanied his girlfriend to her trial for robbery. At lunch, he went out for a sandwich. She needed to see him and thus had him paged. Police officers recognized his name and arrested him as he returned to the courthouse in a car he had stolen over the lunch hour.
7.    When two service station attendants in Ionia, Michigan, refused to hand over the cash to an intoxicated robber, the man threatened to call the police. They still refused, so the robber called the police and was arrested.

Too Late

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

Easy Choice

It was mealtime during an airline flight. "Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked John, seated in front. "What are my choices?" John asked. "Yes or no," she replied.

Too Honest

A woman is standing looking in the full-length bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, "I feel horrible! I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment." The husband replies, "Your eyesight's near perfect!" The husband is now hoping to be discharged from the hospital as soon as next week.

Wealth

There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him.

An angel hears his plea and appears to him, "Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you."

The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules.

The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.

Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. Seeing the suitcase Peter says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!"

But the man explains to him that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough, Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through."

Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, "You brought pavement?!?!"

A Quiet Group

I was diagnosed with antisocial behavior disorder, so I joined a support group. We never meet.

After the holidays

Ole and Sven had really 'packed on the pounds' by over-eating during Christmas and the New Year's Holidays, so their doctor put them on the same diet.

"I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, eat regularly for another two days, then skip a day. Repeat this for two weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least five pounds."

When the Norwegians returned, they shocked their doctor by having lost nearly 25 pounds each.

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

Ole and Sven nodded and said, "We vant to tell you though, we taut we was gonna drop dead dat third day."

"From hunger, you mean?"

"No, yust from all dat skippin!"
