Did you hear about the two thieves who stole a calendar? They each got six months. I'm terrified of elevators so I'm going to start taking steps to avoid them. Have you heard of the band 923 Megabytes? Probably not, they haven't had a gig yet.
Re: Laughter Club One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really hurt.
His friend suggested that he go to a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.
"Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it.
It only costs $10."
Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store.
Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10.
The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing.
After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed:
You have tennis elbow.
Soak your arm in warm water.
Avoid heavy lifting.
It will be better in two weeks."
Later that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled.
He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter.
To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction.
He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10.
The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:
"Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic.
Your wife is pregnant with twin girls.
They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better."
Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven, where St. Peter meets them at the Pearly Gates. Since they’ve all led exemplary lives, he lets each say any woman’s name and she’ll go back to Earth for six months as that person.
“Sophia Loren,” says the first nun - and poof, she disappears.
“Madonna,” says the second nun, and she disappears, too.
“Sara Piplini,” says the third nun. “Who’s that?” asks St. Peter.
The nun hands him a newspaper clipping.
He reads and says, “I’m sorry, sister, but you’ve got it all wrong. It’s the Sahara Pipeline that was laid by 1,400 men in six months.”
It's a slow day at the Pearly Gates, and St Peter is relieved when a soul from Earth appears. He asks the soul's name and pulls out the soul's file from a bulging cabinet.
After reading for a few minutes, St Peter says, "Well, frankly, there isn't much here that's either particularly good or bad, so I'm not sure where to send you. Can you tell me anything about yourself that would help me come to a decision?"
The soul thinks for a minute and says, "Well, I was driving along the highway, and I saw a young lady whose car had broken down. I also noticed that she was surrounded and being harassed by a tough-looking gang of bikers. I screeched to a halt and jumped out of the car to stop them, just as they were starting to tear off her clothes to have their way with her. I went right up to the leader of the gang, grabbed him by the lapels of his black leather jacket and said, 'Look! If you and your gang of thugs don't stop molesting this young lady RIGHT NOW, you will have to deal with me!' "
"I'm deeply impressed," says St Peter. "That was a very brave and noble deed. But I can't understand why it isn't in your file. When did this happen?"
@Thinkerbell @TheSirfurryanimalWales To continue the heavenly theme..... It was a big day in heaven. There were lots men and women waiting to be admitted. Jesus looked around and said," Men, I'm disappoint in you. I created man to be the head of the home and most of you have just let the women take over. But those of you have taken leadership, please come over here and stand by me." Out of the multitudes the was only one man who walked over to Jesus. "Well, son, I'm proud of you. Please tell us all what you have done to be able to stand here." The man looked at Jesus and said, "I don't know. My wife just told me to come and stand over here."
A farm boy took his pet duck and got in his pickup to go to the moving picture show in town. He walked up to the ticket booth with his duck under his arm to buy a ticket, but the girl said, “Sir, you can’t bring that bird in here."
The country boy tries to explain ’bout how the duck is a housebroken pet, but the girl says, “SIR, I’m sorry but you can’t bring a pet into the theater."
So, he’s is sitting in his truck, stroking his duck, trying to think, and has an idea!
He hides his duck down the bib of his overalls and goes and buys a ticket and sits down next to these two town girls with his duck hidden in his pants, and starts watching the movie.
A few minutes later, one of the townie girls nudges the other and says, “This guy next to me has his cock out."
Her friend says “Ignore it; if you've seen one, you’ve seen them all.”
The first girl replies, “Yes, but this one is eating my popcorn!"

Maggie: “Listen, Barbara, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock.”
(This one was published in a newspaper. The Editorial Room was informed by the readers, but it took three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.)
A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and looks sensational. On her way home, she stops at to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the assistant, "I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?” About 32, is the reply. "No! I’m exactly 50." the woman says happily. A little while later she goes into McDonald’s and asks the counter girl the very same question. The girl replies, "I’d say about 29." ’‘No, I’m 50." the woman replies with a big smile. Now she’s feeling really good about herself. She stops at another shop on her way home. She goes up to the counter and asks the assistant the same burning question. The assistant responds, "Oh, I’d say 30." Again, she proudly responds, "I’m 50, but thank you!" While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question. He replies, "Madam, I’m 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then, and only then, I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are." She waits in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, "Oh, the heck with it, go on then." He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other. After a couple of minutes of this, she says, "Okay, okay... How old am I?" He completes one last squeeze of her breasts removes his hands, and says, "Madam, you are 50." Stunned and amazed, the woman says, "That was incredible, how could you tell?" "I was behind you at McDonalds’."
A brand new priest was about to lead his first mass & was really nervous. He did the mass but because of his nerves, he stuttered some & forgot where he was a couple times. At the end of mass, he goes to the Monsignor & says, “Father, I know because of my nerves, I didn't do too well today. Do you have any advice on how to make my next mass better?”
The Monsignor says, “Son, don't worry about it. All of us have been new & nervous. Next week, why don't you put a little gin or vodka in your holy water, if you know what I mean. It should relax you.”
The next week he took the Monsignor's advice & drank a little too much vodka. He got up at mass & preached up a storm. Afterward, he went to the Monsignor & asked, “How did I do this week, Father?”
The Monsignor said, “You did a lot better but there are a few facts you should get straight…
There are 10 Commandments, not 12, 12 Disciples not 10, David slew Goliath, he didn't beat the shit out of him. Next week there is a Taffy-Pulling contest at St Peter's, not a Peter-Pulling contest at St Taffy's, We do not refer to the cross as the ‘Big T', We do not refer to Jesus Christ & His disciples as ‘JC & the Boys', We do not refer to the Father, Son & Holy Spirit as ‘Big Daddy, JC & the Spook', And last but not least, we do not refer to the Virgin Mary as ‘Mary with the Cherry'!”
Sad news: It is with great sadness that we report the passing of the Pillsbury Doughboy. The cause of his death was from a yeast infection and trauma from repeated pokes in his belly.
Doughboy was buried in a greased coffin, with the gravesite piled high with flours.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects; including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, The Hostess Twinkies, and Capt. Crunch.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being flakey at times, he was still a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and his three children: John Dough, Jane Dough, and Dosey Dough. He and his wife also had one in the oven. He is also survived by his father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
A crusty old Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event, hosted by a local liberal arts college. A crusty old Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event, hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.
She said, "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man.
Is something bothering you?"
"Negative, ma'am," the Sergeant Major said, "Just serious by nature."
The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action."
The Sergeant Major's short reply was, "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."
The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up a little.
Relax and enjoy yourself."
The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.
Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"
The Sergeant Major looked at her and replied, "1955."
She said, "Well, there you are.
You really need to chill out and quit taking everything so seriously!
I mean, no sex since 1955!
Isn't that a little extreme?"
The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-fact voice, "You think so? It's only 2130 now!"
I saw this one on SW today... it was too funny not to repeat. :
"Three rough-looking bikers stomp noisily into a truck stop.
They see a grizzled old-timer having breakfast, and decide to have some fun.
One of the bikers extinguishes his cigarette in the old guy’s pancakes. The second biker spits a wad of chewing tobacco into his coffee. The third biker dumps the old man's plate of scrambled eggs onto the floor.
Without a word of protest, the old guy pays his bill and leaves.
“Not much of a man, was he?” says one of the bikers. "No," the others laugh.
“Not much of a truck driver, either,” says the waitress. “He just backed his 18-wheeler over three motorcycles." "
A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized She was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his:
Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out. "Business trip or pleasure?"
She turned, smiled and said. "Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston."
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen Sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs!
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked. “What’s your Business at this convention?"
“Lecturer." She responded. "I use information that I have learned from my Personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
“Really?” He said. “And what kind of myths are there?”
“Well.” She explained. “One popular myth is that African-American men are The most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is That Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Mexican Descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with Absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.. "I’m Sorry." She said, “I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name."
"Tonto." The man said. "Tonto Gonzales, but my friends call me Bubba." .
Great news, Mr. Bradley," the psychiatrist reported. "After eighteen months of therapy, I can pronounce you finally and completely cured of your kleptomania. You'll never be trapped by the desire to steal again."
"Gee, that's great, Doc," the patient replied.
"And just to prove it, I want you to stop by the mall on the way home and walk the length of the stores. You'll see that you'll feel no temptation to shoplift whatsoever."
"Oh, Doctor, what can I do to thank you?"
"Well," suggested the psychiatrist, "if you DO have a relapse, I could use a new TV."
Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making.
Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells
This couple has a young son named Edward who is struggling in math in school. They try tutors, extra hours of teaching at his school and at home. Nothing seems to be getting through. They switch schools and each time, the schools tell the parents that them that Edward is bright, but he doesn’t pay attention in school and doesn’t often do his homework.
At wits end, they hear about a Catholic school that has had incredible breakthroughs when dealing with underperforming students. Not being religious or Catholic, they decide it is all or nothing to help Edward.
The first day of school comes and they drop Edward off. A whole day of nerves wrack them. Together they go to pick him up from school.
“How was school?”
“Good.” Not much else.
“Do you have homework?”
“Yes. I am going to do it right away.”
Understand that before this, every night they had to fight to get Edward to even consider doing his homework. Today, he takes his school backpack and goes upstairs.
Hours pass. They sneak up and see Edward is carefully working and writing out his homework. Not wanting to break his concentration they say nothing.
The next day, same thing. The day after that, same thing. Weeks go by and Edward is really focused on his math. The parents are just about to explode wanting to know what has happened.
Finally, they must know, and they ask him directly.
Edward takes in a deep breath and lets it go slowly. “When I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they were really serious about math!”
A man on a bicycle is stopped at the US-Mexico border by Border Patrol, trying to cross into Mexico. The agent asks what is in the backpack he's wearing. “Uh, sand”, the bicyclist responds. The agent asks to look inside and sure enough it appears to be full of sand. “Dump it out” the agent insists. So he dumps out the contents of the backpack on the road and the agent searches through the sand looking for contraband. Finding nothing but sand, he allows the biker to pass into Mexico.
The next day the biker comes to the border again. The same agent asks about the backpack. “It’s just sand”, says the biker. The agent, who refuses to be fooled, tells him to dump it out. Again he searches through the sand finding nothing.
“Sir, you’re going to dump the sand every single day. I’m not letting you through without checking. I don’t care how many times you come here, you’re dumping the sand every single time”.
“No problem” says the biker.
Sure enough, they go through this ritual day after day, month after month, year after year. Until one day, the biker stops coming.
One day after work, the agent sees the biker at a bar. “I know you”, says the agent.”You’re the guy who brought sand across the border every day”.
“Yep. That’s me” says the biker.
“You gotta tell me, buddy, why did you bring sand across the border every day”?
“Sand?, the biker replies. “I was selling stolen bicycles!”
The biker then added: "...and on the return trip to the USA, I brought in fentanyl in my backpack. They never checked at all, when I told them I was an oppressed refugee."
@Thinkerbell he could close his eyes and have her wear a fake beard when going down on him. Or she could wear the fake beard on her ass....OMG did I say that?😳
A newlywed couple was on vacation when they heard about a prophet who lived in the hills nearby... They were told by their hotel concierge that he always spoke the truth and could tell them their future, so, filled with curiosity, they went to see him. As they approached the hut, they noticed a terrible smell coming from inside but they pressed on. The old man was sitting in a chair, with casts on both legs. "What do you want from me?" the prophet called out. The couple then realized the source of the foul smell... It was the old seers breath! "He must never brush his teeth," they both thought. Undaunted, they replied, "oh wise prophet, we are newly married and were told that you could read our future!" The prophet answered, "Oh yes. Just like my hands are rough and hard from my many years living on the land, and my legs are so weak that they've broken just by stepping into my hut, so shall your lives together be! Rough, hard, weak, and broken! Now be gone!" With that, they returned to their hotel. The concierge asked them how their visit with the prophet was. They told him they were pretty disappointed and felt like he wasn't all he was cracked up to be. The wife especially was unimpressed. "He was uncaring, weather beaten, weak, and his breath stunk too!!!" The concierge answered... "Well, I guess that's what you get from the SuperCallousedFragileMysticVexedWithHalitosis!"
Bagpiper for the Homeless A bagpiper was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave-side service for a homeless man with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery in the Oklahoma back country.
As he was not familiar with the backwoods, he got lost; and being a typical man didn't stop for directions. He finally arrived an hour late. He saw the backhoe and the crew. The funeral guy had evidently gone, as the diggers were eating lunch and the hearse was nowhere in sight.
He felt badly about this. He apologized to the men for being late. He went to the side of the grave and looked down. The vault lid was already in place.
He started to play and the workers gathered around.
He played out his heart and soul for this homeless man.
As he played Amazing Grace, the workers began to weep.
He played like he'd never played before. Then he finished and started for his car.
As he opened the door, he heard one of the workers say:
"Man that was really moving, I ain't never seen nothin' like that before."
"And I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
Jesus was walking around Heaven one day. In a small, secluded garden He saw an old man, crying. Alarmed, Jesus ran up to him and said, “Hey, now, what’s all this? This is paradise. There should be no tears or sorrow.” The old man wiped away his tears and said, “Oh, I know. I’m sorry. But… well, many years ago, a son came to me through… well, let’s say ‘mysterious circumstances’. After many trials he went through a miraculous transformation, and a book was written about him that became known the world over. I thought I would find him here, but I haven’t. I’m afraid I’ll never see him again.” Wide-eyed, Jesus looked at the man and said, “Wait a minute… You weren’t, by any chance… a carpenter, were you?” The man looked up in surprise. “Why, yes. Yes, I was!” Jesus burst into tears of joy and held out His arms saying, “Father!” The man cocked his head doubtfully and said, “Pinocchio?” …. A genie granted me one wish, so I said I just want to be happy."
Now I'm living in a cottage with 6 dwarfs and working in a mine.
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.
At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue; they took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven't seen a squirrel since
You mean they haven't seen a male squirrel since. Plenty of females at the synagogue, though, now that they knew the males wouldn't be hitting on them all the time.
A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After the mass, he asked the Monsignor how he had done. The Monsignor replied, “When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.”
Next Sunday the new priest decided to take the monsignor’s advice. At the beginning, he felt nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon returning to his office, he found a note on the door that said:
– Sip on the vodka, don’t gulp.
– There are 10 commandments, not 12.
– There are 12 disciples, not 10.
– Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
– Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not “Bet his ass.”
– We do not refer to Jesus Christ as “the late J.C.”
– We do not refer to the cross as the “Big T.”
– The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are not referred to as “Daddy, Junior and the Spook.”
– David slew Goliath, he did not “Kick the crap out of him.”
• When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, we do not say that he was “Stoned off his ass.
A man with suspected Corona virus is lying in a hospital bed with a face mask on waiting to be seen.
A trainee nurse comes to give the man a bed bath.
The man asks “Are my testicles black?"
The nurse replies “I'm here to give you a bed bath"
The man asks again slightly more agitated this time “Ok, but can you look to see if my testicles are black?”
The nurse replies “Sir I'm only supposed to give you a bed bath upper body and feet"
The man rather breathless this time manages to ask one more time, “Please, are my testicles black?”
The nurse looks at the man in sympathy and not wanting the man’s heart rate to increase or cause any more undue stress lifts up the man's gown, takes the mans member in one hand and his testicles in the other, leans in to inspect and says, “No your testicles are not black”
The man sits up in his bed removes his face mask and says to the nurse
“Listen to me carefully, ARE MY TEST RESULTS BACK?”
The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnny, knowing that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually, his turn came. Little Johnny walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well, the teacher couldn't figure out what Johnny had in mind for his report on something exciting, so she asked him just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnny. "Well I can see that," she said. "But what is so exciting about a period." "Damned if I know," said Johnny, "but this morning my sister said she missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mummy fainted and the man next door shot himself !"
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back.
John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
In desperation, John threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, when the bird continued,
A furniture dealer from Kerry decided that he wanted to expand the line of furniture in his shop, so he decided to go to Paris, France, to see what he could find. After arriving in Paris (this being his first trip ever to the French capital), he met with some manufacturers and finally selected a line that he thought would sell well back home in Kerry.
To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine. As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded and that the one other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house. Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table, asked him something in French (which he did not understand), and motioned toward the chair. He invited her to sit down. He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language so, after a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to her. She nodded, and he ordered a glass of wine for her. After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing romantic music. They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple of dancing. She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed, and the band was packing up.
Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.
To this day, he has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business......
The European Union is proposing to build a public toilet in Brussels. They put the job out to tender. They get in 3 responses. First in is Hans from Germany. He gets straight to the point. "I'll build it for €30,000." The Eurocrat behind the desk looks up from his note pad. "Can you give us some more detail, Hans?" "Ja! €10,000 labour, €10,000 materials, €10,000 profit for my company! - This is what free enterprise is about, ja?" Next in is Jean from France. Dragging deeply on his crinkled Galoise, he pauses, shrugs, and finally says, staring out the window, "Alors, €60,000: €20,000 travail, €20,000 materiel, €20,000 pour moi". The French never concede an inch on the mother tongue, even in an English-language joke. Last in is O'Shaughnessy from an un-stereotyped unspecified EU Member State. "€90,000, the job is done and we're all grand". The Eurocrat peers skeptically over his bifocals. "Mr O'Shaughnessy, surely you realise that this price is ... unusual?" "Yerra no bother, lad: 30 for you, 30 for me and we give the job to Hans!"😎
A guy in Moscow every day goes to a news stand and buys a newspaper. Right at the news stand, he unfolds the paper, looks at the front page, and then tosses the paper, otherwise unread, in the trash and leaves.

A teacher asked her 5 grade class to talk to their parents about life events in their families that demonstrate a moral. For example, the early bird gets the worm. They would share the stories in class on Monday. Monday morning saw the class ready to begin and the teacher asked of anyone had any stories to share that had a moral to it. Little Johnny jumps to his feet waving both of his hands wildly. Little Johnny didn’t have a good reputation for sharing stories that were appropriate for a 5-grade class. So, the teacher tried her best to ignore Johnny. Little Mary put her hand up and the teacher called on her. She told a story of being sent out to collect eggs in the chicken coop. She brought with her a single basket. After collecting all the eggs available, she headed back to the show her mother how well she did. But she tripped on the way in, falling on the basket and breaking all the eggs. The teacher asked what the moral of the story was. Mary said, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This is a very good example, thanks you for sharing Mary. Anyone else have a story?
Little Johnny again is going wild trying to get the teachers attention. The teacher tries to ignore him, but no one else raises their hand to volunteer a story. So the teacher has to relent and asked little Johnny what was his story. Johnny starts off that his Aunt Sue is a military fighter jet pilot. Little Johnny’s dad told him about one of Aunt Sue’s missions during recent conflicts. When Aunt Sue flew missions she always carried with her an automatic rifle with lots of ammo, a large knife and a bottle of whisky. She like to drink the whisky flying back after the mission to celebrate. On this particular mission Aunt Sue’s jet was hit by an enemy missile. She had to eject from the fighter. Coming down with her parachute she worried about her bottle of whisky. What if it breaks when she lands. So, she drank the whole bottle. As she got closer to the ground, she sees 50 enemy soldiers with their rifles pointed at her. So, she begins shooting the soldiers with her rifle. She kills 40 of them before she ran out of ammo. Landing on the ground Aunt Sue pulled out her knife and killed the remaining 10 enemy soldiers.
The teacher was aghast. What possible life moral could you possibly have from this terrible story?
Little Johnny smiled and said, don’t screw with Aunt Sue if she’s been drinking.
Borrowed from elsewhere on SW: An elderly couple were having dinner one evening when the husband reached across the table, took his wife's hand in his and said, "Martha, soon we will be married 50 years, and there's something I have to know. In all of these 50 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?"
Martha replied, "Well Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I've been unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.
Henry was obviously hurt by his wife's confession, but said, "I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by 'good reasons?' "
Martha said, "The first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn't pay the mortgage. Do you remember that evening I went to see the banker and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?"
Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, "I can forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about the second time?"
Martha asked, "Do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn't have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge."
"I recall that," said Henry. "And you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time."
"All right," Martha said. "So do you remember when you ran for President of your golf club, and you needed 53 more votes?"
An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese guy are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian, "You're in charge of sweeping."
To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shovelling."
And to the Chinese man he says, "You're in charge of supplies."
So the foreman goes away for a couple of hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched. He asks the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"
He replies "I no hava no broom, you saida to the Chinese guy that he wasa ina charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."
The foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile."
He replied, "Aye, ye did lad, bit ah couldnae git masel' a shuvl! Ye left thon wee Chinese mannie in chairge of supplies, bit ah couldnae fin' him onywhar."
The foreman is really pissed off now and storms off towards the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy. As he approaches the mound, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the sand and yells…
Little Lucy was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, Lucy, who created the universe?" When Lucy didn't stir, Little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. "God Almighty! " shouted Lucy and the teacher said, "Very good," and Lucy fell back asleep. A while later the teacher asked Lucy, "Who is our Lord and Savior?" But, Lucy didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. "Jesus Christ!" shouted Lucy and the teacher said, "Very good," and Lucy fell back asleep. Then the teacher asked Lucy a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child? And again, Johnny Jabbed her with the pin. This time Lucy jumped up and shouted, "If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!"

An old Scotsman named Douglas has been saving a bottle of rare Scotch whisky for many years for a special occasion, but now he has been taken ill and is at the point of death. His lifelong friend Angus comes to visit him.
"Och, Angus," says Douglas, "I'm much a-feared I'm not lang fer this world."
"Is there anythin' I can do fer you?" asks Angus.
"Aye, now that you mention it, there is, " responds Douglas. "It concerns that auld bottle of Scotch I been savin' all these years. When I am dead and buried, would you be so kind as to pour it out o'er me grave?"
"Och, of course, Douglas; it would be an honor," says Angus.
Long silence.
Then Angus speaks up, "Umm, Douglas...about that bottle of Scotch..."
"Aye,"asks Douglas, "what about it?"
"Afore I pour it out o'er your grave, would you mind terribly if'n I drank it first?"
"How did it happen? " the doctor asked the middle-aged farmhand as he set the man's broken leg. "Well, doc, 25 years ago... "Never mind the past! Tell me how you broke your leg this morning. "Like I was saying... 25 years ago, when I first started working on the farm, that night, right after I'd gone to bed, the farmer's beautiful daughter came into my room. She asked me if there was anything I wanted. I said, "No, everything is fine. "Are you sure? " she asked. "I'm sure," I said. "Isn't there anything I can do for you??? " she wanted to know. "I reckon not," I replied. "Excuse me," said the doctor, "What the hell does this story have to do with your broken leg?!?!? "Well, this morning," the farmhand explained, "when it dawned on me what she meant, I fell off the roof! "
Silly man... he should have climbed down, and gone back to the farmer's beautiful daughter and said, "Now that you mentioned it, there is something you can do for me..."
A lady goes to her parish priest A lady goes to her parish priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots but they only know how to say one thing."
"What do they say?" the priest inquired.
"They say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?'" the woman said embarrassingly.
"That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, "I can see why you are embarrassed."
He thought a minute and then said, "You know, I may have a solution to this problem. I have two male parrots whom I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house and we will put them in the cage with Francis and Job. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship. I'm sure your parrots will stop saying that...that phrase in no time."
"Thank you," the lady responded, "this may very well be the solution."
The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house.
As he ushered her in, she saw his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding their rosary beads and praying.
Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.
After just a couple of seconds, the female parrots exclaimed out in unison, "Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?"
There was a stunned silence.
Finally, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and said, "Put the beads away, Francis, our prayers have been answered.
Got a Chinese take out last night and as I got in the car I heard the bag rustle, so looked over and saw a pair of eyes looking out of the top of bag at me, then disappear back inside.
I was so scared I nearly said profanities!
I looked again, saw the eyes looking out at me then disappear again, so grabbed the bag and ran back into the shop. I asked the guy behind the counter “what the heck was going on?!”

Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs.
Right in the middle of the cemetery, they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
“Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said after catching his breath, “You scared us half to death — we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?”
“Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!”
