Friday's Funnies

 Bribing

A professor gave a big exam to his students. When he collected the papers, one student had attached a $100 bill with a note saying: "A dollar per point." The next day the student got his test score and $64 change.

 

Fishing Wife

"So, what's the matter?" asked one woman of her friend over coffee. "I thought you just got back from a nice relaxing fishing trip with your husband." "Oh, everything went wrong," the second woman answered. "First, he said I talked so loud I would scare the fish. Then he said I was using the wrong bait; and then that I was reeling in too soon. "All that might have been all right; but to make matters worse, I ended up catching the most fish!"


Sharing Worries and Troubles

She: When we get married, I want to share all your worries and troubles, and lighten your burden.

He: It's very kind of you, darling. But I don't have any worries or troubles.
She: Well, we aren't married yet.

 

Golfing Tip

A young man and a pastor are playing a round of golf together. At a short par 3, the pastor asks the young man, "What club are you going to use on this hole?” The young man says, "An 8-iron, reverend. How about you?” The pastor says, "I'm going to hit a soft seven and pray.” The young man hits his 8-iron and puts the ball on the green. The pastor tops his 7-iron and dribbles the ball out a few yards. The young man says, "I don't know about you, pastor, but in my church, when we pray, we keep our head down.”

 

School Daze

Our business professor was lecturing about different ways to bill customers. He asked, "Who can give me an example of a system where you are billed before you actually receive your goods?" One student piped up, "Tuition!"


Psychoanalyst

George has been seeing a psychoanalyst for four years for treatment of the fear that he had monsters under his bed. It had been years since he had gotten a good night's sleep. Furthermore, his progress was very poor, and he knew it. So, one day he stops seeing the psychoanalyst and decides to try something different. A few weeks later, George's former psychoanalyst meets his old client in the mall, and is surprised to find him looking well-rested, energetic, and cheerful. "Doc!" George says, "It's amazing! I'm cured!" "That's great news!" the psychoanalyst says. "you seem to be doing much better. How?" "I went to see another doctor," George says enthusiastically, "and he cured me in just ONE session!" "One?!" the psychoanalyst asks incredulously. "Yeah," continues George, "my new doctor is a behaviorist." "A behaviorist?" the psychoanalyst asks. "How did he cure you in one session?" "Oh, easy," says George. "He told me to cut the legs off of my bed."


One Liners

Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me every day. He is from India and is very concerned about my car warranty.


I choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, "I'll bet a doughnut wouldn't have done this to me."

Nothing spoils a good story more than the arrival of an eye witness.


I finally realized why I look so bad in pictures. It's my face.

It only takes one slow-walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that I'm a nice person.

Sorry that I'm late. I got here as soon as I wanted to!

It turns out that when asked who your favorite child is, you're supposed to pick out one of your own. I know that now.

It's fine to eat a test grape in the produce section, but you take one bite of rotisserie chicken and it's all, "Sir, you need to leave!"

One thing no one ever talks about, when it comes to being an older adult, is how much time we devote to keeping a cardboard box because it is, you know, a really good box.

I can't believe I forgot to go to the gym today. That's seven years in a row now.

If you drop something when you were younger, you just picked it up. When you're older and you drop something, you stare at it for just a bit contemplating if you actually need it anymore.

I like to make lists. I also like to leave them laying on the kitchen counter, and then guess what's on the list when I am at the store.

A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of its throat. Ever think about that? No, you only think about yourself.

My kids say they want a cat for Christmas. Normally I serve turkey, but, hey, if it will make them happy.

Ask your doctor if a drug with 32 pages of side-effects is bad for you.

Dad Joke

When the clock factory caught fire, second hand smoke was everywhere.


Today’s Thought

If I am ever on life support unplug me and plug me back in and see if that works.

Friday's Funnies

 Things I'm super good at:

- Forgetting someone's name 10 seconds after they tell me.
- Buying produce...and throwing it away two weeks later.
- Digging through the trash for the food box I just tossed, because I already forgot the directions.
- Making plans. And then immediately regretting making plans.
- Leaving laundry in the dryer until it wrinkles. Then turning on the dryer to dewrinkle. Then forgetting it again.
- Calculating how much sleep I'll get if I can just "fall asleep right now."

Don’t Try It

It's fine to eat a test grape in the produce section, but you take one bite of rotisserie chicken and it's all, "Hey, get out!"

Some things I'm pondering today

- The fact that Kansas and Arkansas are pronounced differently bothers me way more than it should.

- Pronouncing words that end in 'ough'. Cough, bough, rough, dough, through, though....

- Is the "S" or "C" in scent silent?

- Why does fridge have a "D" in it, but refrigerator doesn't?

- Why are Zoey and Zoe pronounced the same but Joey and Joe aren't?

- You can drink a drink but you can't food a food.

- The word "queue" is just a Q followed by four silent letters

 

You know it's going to be a BAD DAY when...

- You jump out of bed in the morning and miss the floor.
- Your four-year-old greets you with the news that its almost impossible to flush a grapefruit down the toilet.
- The bird singing outside your window is a vulture.
- Your horn gets stuck when you're following a group of Hell's Angels on the freeway.
- You get to work and there's a 60 Minutes news team waiting in your office.
- Your twin sister forgets your birthday.
- Your doctor tells you that you're allergic to chocolate.
- Your boss tells you not to bother to remove your coat.
- Your blind date turns out to be your ex.

In A Hurry

It only takes one slow-walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that I'm a friendly, nice person.

 

What’s The Difference

What's the difference between a well-dressed man on a unicycle and a poorly-dressed man on a bicycle? Attire.


Notes Left for the Milkman (oldie But Goodie)

"Dear Milkman, I've just had a baby, please leave another one."

"Please leave an extra pint of paralyzed milk."

"Please don't leave any more milk. All they do is drink it."

"Sorry not to have paid your bill before, but my wife had a baby, and I've been carrying it around in my pocket for weeks."

"Sorry about yesterday's note. I didn't mean one egg and a dozen pints, but the other way 'round."

"When you leave my milk, knock on my bedroom window and wake me because I want you to give me a hand to turn the mattress."

"Please knock. My TV's broken down, and I missed last night's Sopranos. If you saw it, will you tell me what happened?"

"My daughter says she wants a milkshake. Do you do it before you deliver, or do I have to shake the bottle?"

"Please send me a form for cheap milk, for I have a baby two months old and did not know about it until a neighbor told me."

"Milk is needed for the baby. Father is unable to supply it."

"From now on please leave two pints every other day and one pint on the days in between, except Wednesdays and Saturdays when I don't want any milk."

"My back door is open. Please put milk in 'fridge, get money out of cup in drawer and leave change on kitchen table, because we want to play bingo tonight."

"Please leave no milk today. When I say today, I mean tomorrow, for I wrote this note yesterday... or is it today?"

"When you come with the milk please put the coal on the boiler, let dog out, and put newspaper inside the screen door. P.S. Don't leave any milk."

"No milk. Please do not leave milk at No.14 either as he is dead until further notice."

Did you hear about the poker player who broke his arm? He's finding it hard to deal with.

 Happy New Year!

 A new year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.

 

K9 partner

It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"

Decimal Point

The arithmetic teacher had written 10.9 on the blackboard and had then rubbed out the decimal point to show the effect of multiplying this number by ten. "Johnny," the teacher asked, "where is the decimal point now?" "On the eraser!" came back the quick reply.

Trust Test 

A police officer was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer's credibility ...

Q: 'Officer --- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'

A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'

Q: 'Officer, who provided this description?'

A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'

Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'

A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'

Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'

A: 'Yes sir, we do!'

Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'

A: 'Yes, sir, I do.'

Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'

A: 'Yes, sir.'

Q: 'Now, why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'

A: 'You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'

The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called.

 

Why? 

Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle?
