Guy goes ice
fishing
A guy gets up really early in the morning to go
ice fishing. He goes out onto the ice with
his tent, his pick and his fishing rod, and
starts to pick at the ice. Then he hears a
big booming voice: "THERE'S NO FISH UNDER
THE ICE"
The guy looks around and then starts to pick at
the ice again. Then he hears the voice
again: "THERE'S NO FISH UNDER THE ICE"
Now the guy is getting a little edgy.
He looks up, "God, is that you?"
There is no answer, so he starts picking again.
"THERE'S NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!!"
Then the guy yells "God! is that you?"
"NO, IT'S THE MANAGER OF THE ICE
RINK!!"
Blonde
at the bank
A blonde walks into a bank in New York
City and asks for the loan officer. She says she
is going to Europe on business for two weeks and
needs to borrow $5000. The bank officers
says the bank will need some kind of security for
such a loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to
a new Rolls Royce, parked on the street, in front
of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank
agrees to accept the car as collateral for the
loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the
bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two
weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the
$5000, and the interest, which is $15.41.
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to
have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out
very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While
you were away, we checked you out and found that
you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us
is why would you bother to borrow $5000?"
The blonde replied, "Where else in New York
City can I park my car for 2 weeks for
$15.00?"
The
farmer's special pig
A guy is driving through the countryside and
suddenly develops car trouble. The highway is
rather deserted, and having no other choice, he
pulls his car over. Fortunately, he spies a
farmhouse a little ways up and walks there in
hope of using a phone to call for help. At the
house, a farmer answers the door, and hearing the
man's plight, welcomes him in to use the phone.
While the man is on the phone calling a towing
service, he notices something odd in the farmer's
backyard: a pig with a wooden leg. Waiting for
the tow truck, the two strike up a
conversation.
The man can't help his curiosity and asks the
farmer, "Was that a pig with a wooden leg I
saw in your yard?" "Sure
was," the farmer replies. The man
says, "I have to know, why does the pig have
a wooden leg?" Well, that's a very special
pig," the farmer says. "One day,
I tripped and sprained my ankle near the highway.
That pig pulled me from harm's way and went to
the house, got my wife, and let her know I was in
trouble."
"Wow," the man said. "I
don't know of many dogs that could do that. That
is a special pig. But, please tell me, why does
the pig have a wooden leg?!"
"Well, as I was saying," the farmer
replied, "that's a very special pig. One day
me and the Mrs. were asleep in bed when the house
caught on fire. That pig ran upstairs, jumped on
the bed, woke the both of us up, and sure as I'm
talking to you today, saved our lives."
"I understand that pig is very
special," the man says, getting a little
frustrated, "But, please tell me. Why
does the pig have a wooden leg!?"
"Well," the farmer replies, "a pig
as special as that, you
wouldn't want to eat him all at once now, would
you?"
Two
College Students at exam
Two college seniors had a week
of exams coming up. However, they decided to go
to a party instead and they didn't get any
studying done.
When they went to the test, they decided to tell
the professor that their car had broken down the
night before due to a flat tire and they needed a
bit more time to study. The professor told them
that they could have another day to study.
That evening, both of the boys crammed all night
until they were sure that they knew just about
everything. Arriving to class the next morning,
each boy was told to go to separate classrooms to
take the exam. Each shrugged and went to two
different parts of the building.
As each sat down, they read the first question.
"For 5 points, explain the contents of an
atom." At this point, they both thought that
this was going to be a piece of cake, and
answered the question with ease.
Then, the test continued...
"For 95 points, tell me which tire it
was."
Two
gas men on the run
Two gas company servicemen, a senior training
supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking
meters in a suburban neighborhood.
They parked their truck at one end of the alley
and worked their way to the other end. At the
last house an older woman was looking out her
kitchen window watching the two men as they
checked her gas meter.
Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor
challenged his younger coworker to a foot race
down the alley and back to the truck to prove
that an older guy could outrun a younger one.
As they came running up to the truck, they
realized the lady from that last house was
huffing and puffing right behind them. They
stopped and asked her what was wrong.
Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see
two gas men
running as hard as you two were, I figure I'd
better run too!"
Judge
looses his gold watch
A judge was instructing the jury that a witness
was not
necessarily to be regarded as untruthful because
he changed his statement after he gave it to the
police.
"For example," he said, "when I
entered my chambers today, I was positive that I
had my gold watch in my pocket. But then I
remembered that I left in on my nightstand in my
bedroom."
When the judge returned home that evening, his
wife asked him "Why so much urgency for your
watch? Isn't sending three men to pick it up for
you a bit extreme?"
"What?" said the judge, "I didn't
send anyone for my watch, let alone three people.
What did you do?"
"I gave it to the first one," said the
wife, "he knew exactly
where it was."
Boy Hide & Seek
A young boy answers the phone.
A man says, "Hello is your dad around?"
The boy whispers, "Yes."
The man then asks if he can talk to him.
"He's busy at the moment," the boy
whispers.
"Then is your mom there?"
"Yes" the boy whispers.
"Can I talk to her?"
"No, she's busy," the boy
whispers.
"Is there anyone else there?"
"Yes" whispered the boy.
"Who?" the man asked.
"A policeman," came the whispered
reply.
"Well, can I talk to him?"
"He's busy too," the boy
whispered.
"Is there anyone else there then?"
"Yes" whispered the boy.
"Who then?" the man asked.
"A fireman," the boy whispered.
"Can I talk to him?"
"No," the boy whispered, "he's
busy."
Annoyed, the man asked what they were all
doing.
"Looking for me." the boy whispered.
Who is working
I'm tired. For a couple years I've been blaming
it on iron
poor blood, lack of vitamins, dieting and a dozen
other
maladies. But now I found out it ain't that. I'm
tired because I'm overworked.
Look at the numbers. The population of this
country (USA) is 237 million. 104 million
are retired. That leaves 133 million to do
the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leave 48
million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the
federal
government. This leaves 19 million to do
the work.
Four million are in the Armed Forces, which
leaves
15 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who
work for State and City Government and that
leaves 200,000 to do the work.
There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that
leaves 12,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 11,998 people in Prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work. You
and me.
And you're sitting there reading this. No wonder
I'm tired,
I'm the only one working.
"Wow! Are
you kidding?"
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human
Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out
of MIT, "And what starting salary were you
looking for?"
The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of
$125,000 a year, depending on the benefits
package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you
say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14
paid holidays, full medical and dental, company
matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a
company car leased every 2 years say, a red
Corvette?"
The Engineer sat up straight and said,
"Wow! Are you
kidding?"
And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you
started it."
Thanks for the
food
An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing
when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch
Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed
him and his boat at least a hundred feet into the
air. The monster then opened its mouth while
waiting below to swallow man and boat.
As the man sailed head over heels and started to
fall towards the open jaws of the ferocious beast
he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"
Suddenly, the scene froze in place. As the
atheist hung in
midair, a booming voice came out of the clouds
and said, "I thought you didn't believe in
Me!"
"God, come on, give me a break!" the
man pleaded, "Just seconds ago I didn't
believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"
"Well," said God, "now that you
are a believer you must understand that I won't
work miracles to snatch you from certain death in
the jaws of the monster, but I can change hearts.
What would you have me do?"
The atheist thinks for a minute and then says,
"God, please have the Loch Ness Monster
believe in You also."
God replies, "So be it."
The scene starts in motion again with the atheist
falling towards the ravenous jaws of the
ferocious beast.
Then the Loch Ness Monster folds his claws
together and says, "Lord, bless this food
You have so graciously provided....."
A Drink Please!
Roy walks into the front door of a bar. He is
obviously drunk, and staggers up to the bar,
seats himself on a stool and, with a belch, asks
the bartender for a drink.
The bartender politely informs Roy that it
appears that he has already had plenty to drink,
he could not be served additional liquor at this
bar, and could a cab be called for him?
Roy is briefly surprised, then softly scoffs,
grumbles, climbs down off the bar stool and
staggers out the front door.
A few minutes later, Roy stumbles in the SIDE
door of the
"same" bar. He wobbles up to the bar
and hollers for a drink. The bartender comes over
and, still politely but more firmly, refuses
service to him due to his inebriation, and again
offers to call a cab. He looks at the bartender
for a moment angrily, curses, and shows himself
out the side door, all the while grumbling and
shaking his head.
A few minutes later, Roy bursts in through the
BACK door of the bar. He plops himself up on a
bar stool, gathers his wits and belligerently
orders a drink. The bartender comes over and
emphatically reminds him that he is clearly
drunk, will be served no drinks, and either a cab
or the police will be called immediately.
Roy surprisingly looks at the bartender, and in
hopeless anguish, cries - "MAAAN! How many
bars do you work at!?!?!"
Minister's son
wants a car
A young boy had just gotten his driving
permit. He asked his father, who was a minister,
if they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said to him, "I'll make a deal
with you. You bring your grades up, study your
bible a little, and get your hair cut, then we
will talk about it."
A month later the boy came back and again asked
his father if they could discuss his use of the
car.
His father said, "Son, I'm real proud of
you. You have brought your grades up, you've
studied your bible diligently, but you didn't get
hair cut!"
The young man waited a moment and replied,
"You know dad, I've been thinking about
that. You know Samson had long hair, Moses had
long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had
long hair."
His father replied, "Yes son, and they
walked everywhere they went!"
Skylight
sunbather
A rather well-proportioned secretary, Joan,
wanted to spend almost all of her vacation
sunbathing on the roof of her hotel. She wore a
bathing suit the first day but, on the second,
she decided that no one could see her way up
there, and she slipped out of it for an overall
tan.
She'd hardly begun when she heard someone running
up the stairs; she was lying on her stomach, so
she just pulled a towel over her rear.
"Excuse me, miss," said the flustered
little assistant manager of the hotel, out of
breath from running up the stairs. "The
Hilton doesn't mind you sunbathing on the roof
but we would very much appreciate you wearing a
bathing suit as you didyesterday."
"What difference does it make?" Joan
asked rather calmly. "No one can see me up
here, and besides, I'm covered with a
towel."
"Not exactly," said the embarrassed
little man. "You're lying on the dining room
skylight."
