I just got fired from the ice cream factory...because I can't work sundaes.... Embarrassed

Then more bad news: I have a disease where I can't stop telling airport jokes.

My doctor says it's terminal.

But I'm still hoping to delay my departure....

Hi;

     I told a friend I am a wellspring of ideas. He looked around and said flatly"I think the spring dried up"!

A man and wife were having some problems at home....

I told my wife ten puns, hoping at least one would make her laugh.

Sadly...

No pun in ten did.

The Silent Treatment 

A man and wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00AM for an early mourning flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and loose), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM". He left it where he knew that she would find it . The next mourning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up". Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

Did you get a haircut? No all of them.

 

I took my pet bird to the vet for a checkup.
After the examination, the Doc said the bird had a bad case of chirpees.
But it's okay -- it's tweetable.

OK! Here's a couple more.

Creation

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me so beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you."

Who Does What

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." The wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." The husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages that it indeed said........."HEBREWS"

Tune in tomorrow for some more words of wisdom.

Stay safe.

Ok guys,buckle up, I've got a few good ones.

Marriage Seminar

While attanding a Marriage Seminar dealing with Communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor. "It is essential that husbands and wives know each others likes and dislikes." He addressed Tom. "Can you name your wifes favorite flower?" Tom leaned over, touched Grace's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?"

Wife vs. Husband 

A couple were driving down a country road for several miles not saying aword. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied, "ln-laws."

More later.

Stay safe.

If I only believe in 12.5% of the Bible... ...does that make me an eighth-eist? 

Why would a dyslexic alien potentially make a good DEA agent?

Because he has a habit of walking up to the first person he sees, saying "Take me to your dealer."

OK! Was sitting and checking out the latest AARP Bulletin and saw these words of wisdom in the Witty & Wise section. 

Terry: I haven't forgiven you for putting superglue on my pen.

Larry: Twenty years later and you still can't let that go?

           Wally: I've been hitting the gym hard this month.

           Holly: Did you loose any weight?

           Wally: No, but I broke my hand.

Bill: Can you describe yourself in 3 words?

Will: Yes. Lazy.

           Doctor: Your problem is that you sit too much.

           Patient: I understand.

           Doctor: Exactly.

Stay safe.

For the many, many (many) out there who may ever have had cause to question my sanity...let us take 'a visit to the psychiatrist.'

[BTW I'm NOT crazy: my mother had me tested.]

[BTBTW -- they're not (all) his jokes...but these work really well if you imagine Rodney Dangerfield's voice, while reading.Big Smile]

*I told my psychiatrist I thought I was a pair of curtains.

He told me to pull myself together.... 

*But seriously, my psychiatrist gave me a Rorschach test. I said, "Who is this Rorschach guy...and why did he paint so many pictures of my parents fighting?"

*When I started therapy, I asked the psychiatrist "So, how does this work? Do I just lie on the couch?”

The psychiatrist answered, “Actually, it works much better if you tell the truth.”

*To whoever stole my antidepressant pills...I hope you're happy now.

*I told my psychiatrist that I think I can see into the future.

He asked, “When did this start?”

I replied, “Next Tuesday.”

*I went to see my psychiatrist and told him that “No one understands me.”

He said, “What do you mean by that?”

*I told my psychiatrist that I was dreaming I was a deck of cards.

He said it’s something we should deal with.

*My psychiatrist says I have revenge issues.

I’ll show him.

*A psychiatrist once diagnosed me as a kleptomaniac.

I said, “Doctor...is there anything I can take for it?”

*A psychiatrist’s secretary walked into his study and said, “There’s a gentleman in the waiting room asking to see you. He claims he’s invisible.”

The psychiatrist responded, “Tell him I can’t see him.”

And for those of you who were afraid this would never end...there's lightIdea at the end of the tunnel:

*How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?

It only takes ONE...but it takes a long time, and the light bulb has to really want to change....

Please pay the receptionist on your way out....Propeller

John, Greg, Tojo - Great stuff.

Sorry for being absent for the past few days. The wall-to-wall carpets are being cleaned. Spent the last couple of days moving everything that could be moved out of the way. My workroom is carpeted too so SWMBO ordered a complete overhaul of the loft. It doesn't look the same now. Hope I can find everything when they are done and I can get back in there. Didn't have to do my walk on the treadmill because I made enough trips up and down the stairs to the loft bringing stuff down. Starting tomorrow mourning I'll be bringing it back up. As that famous star said "I'll be Baaack".

Stay safe.

Those are great Tony.

During World War II, a Spitfire pilot from 331 Squadron (Norwegian) was the guest of the local tea club, speaking of his squadron's exploits in the ongoing air war. "There we were over the channel, when suddenly a bunch of Fokkers dived out the sun. We broke into them and began shooting the Fokkers down." The host stood up and reminded the attendees that a Fokker was a type of German aircraft, to which the Norwegian pilot replied "Ya, and some of the Fokkers were Messerschmitts!" 

Thanks,

John

As though we haven't all suffered enough in 2023...what better way to celebrate a New Year, than with some Old Jokes?

(The rumor that these are taken directly from an issue of "My Weekly Reader" dated about 1962 is a scurrilous untruth.)

(It was actually 1961.)Wink

*Not to brag, but I already have a date for New Year's Eve—it's December 31st.

*What is a New Year’s resolution? Something that goes in one year and out the other.

*They say New York City has the best New Year's celebration, but I say it's overrated: every year they drop the ball!

*Why should you stand on one leg on New Year's Eve? To start the new year on the right foot.

But seriously, folks...Here's hoping for a peaceful and prosperous New Year for us all! (And that's no joke!) Big Smile
