 Car Needs Repair

Jill's car was unreliable, and she kept telling her husband John about it, but it would always seem fine when he would drive it. So, he dismissed it thinking that she was exaggerating. Then he got a call.

John: "Hi honey."

Jill: "My brakes went out. Can you come get me?"

John: "What!? Where are you?"

Jill: "I'm in the drugstore."

John: "And where's the car?"

Jill: "It's in here with me..."

Old Friends

Two old friends met one day after many years.  One attended college, and now was very successful.  The other had not attended college and never had much ambition. The successful one said, "How has everything been going with you?" "Well, one day I opened the Bible at random, and dropped my finger on a word and it was oil.  So, I invested in oil, and boy, did the oil wells gush. "Then another day I dropped my finger on another word, and it was gold.  So, I invested in gold and those mines really produced.  Now, I'm as rich as Rockefeller." The successful friend was so impressed that he rushed to his hotel, grabbed a Gideon Bible, flipped it open, and dropped his finger on a page. He opened his eyes and his finger rested on the words, "Chapter Eleven."


Names

Because your father loves Formula One.

Long-winded Visiting Minister

A visiting minister was very long-winded. Worse, every time he would make a good point during his sermon and a member of the congregation responded with "Amen" or "That's right, preacher" he would get wound up even more and launch into another lengthy discourse. Finally, the host pastor started responding to every few sentences with "Amen, Pharaoh!" The guest minister wasn't sure what that meant, but after several more "Amen, Pharaohs" he finally concluded his very lengthy sermon. After the service concluded and the congregation had left, the visiting minister turned to his host and asked, "What exactly did you mean when you said "Amen, Pharaoh?" His host replied, "I was telling you to let my people go!"

Phyllis Diller Quotes

You know you're old when someone compliments you on your alligator shoes, and you're barefoot.

I spent seven hours in a beauty shop... and that was for the estimate.

I never made "Who's Who," but I'm featured in "What's That?"

I should have suspected my husband was lazy. On our wedding day, his mother told me: "I'm not losing a son; I'm gaining a couch."

The doctor looked my body over. I said, "Is there any hope?" He said, "Yes. Reincarnation."

I'm at an age when my back goes out more than I do.

The only thing my husband and I have in common is that we were married on the same day.

You know what keeps me humble? Mirrors!

My body is in such bad shape I wear prescription underwear.

You know you're old when your walker has an airbag.

I will never give up. I am in my 14th year of a 10-day beauty plan.

In most states, you can get a driver's license when you're sixteen years old, which made a lot of sense to me when I was sixteen years old but now seems insane.

If my jeans could talk, they'd plead for mercy.

Dental Appointment

 

I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. Hmmm.........or could he??? After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School. "Yes. Yes, I did. I had a Mustang." He gleamed with pride. When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1976. Why do you ask?" "You were in my class!" I claimed. He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, wrinkled man asked, "What did you teach?"

Spelling

This went on for several weeks. Then one afternoon as they sat coloring in her room she asked, "Mom, what does LMDZ spell?" Kathryn smiled at her and said, "Nothing, sweetheart." The 5-year-old carefully set down her crayon, sighed and said, "Boy, there sure are a lot of ways to spell Nothing!"

That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired. He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar job. One blank on the job application called for the reason for leaving his previous position. Hopkins wrote, "The climate didn't agree with me."
