OLD FRED

 

Old Fred's hospital bed is surrounded by well-wishers, but it doesn't look good.

Suddenly, he motions frantically to the pastor for something to write on.

 

The pastor lovingly hands him a pen and a piece of paper, and Fred uses his

last bit of energy to scribble a note, then dies.

The pastor thinks it best not to look at the note right away, so he places

it in his jacket pocket..

At Fred's funeral, as the pastor is finishing his eulogy, he realizes he's

wearing the jacket he was wearing when Fred died.

"Fred handed me a note just before he died," he says. "I haven't looked at

it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration in it for us all."

 

Opening the note, he reads aloud, "Move! You're standing on my oxygen hose!"

BEAUTIFUL

 

A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was

sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful.

Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that, so she

stayed by his side.

 

A few minutes later, his eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're cute!"

The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful," it was now "cute."

 

She said, "What happened to 'beautiful'?"

 

The man replied, "The drugs are wearing off.

Re: Jokes

 

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o'clock

in the morning by a loud pounding on the door........

 

The man gets up and goes to the door

where a drunken stranger, standing in the

pouring rain, is asking for a push.

>>

"Not a chance," says the husband, "It is three

o'clock in the morning."

>>

He slams the door and returns to bed.

"Who was that?" asked his wife. "Just some

drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.

>>

"Did you help him?" she asks. "No. I did not.

It is three o'clock in the morning and it is pouring rain outside!!."

>>

His wife said, "Don't you remember about three

months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you

should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"

>>

The man does as he is told (of course!), gets

dressed and goes out into the pouring rain. He calls out into the dark,

"Hello! Are you still there?"

>>

"Yes," comes back the answer. "Do you still

need a push?" calls out the husband.

 

"Yes! Please!" comes the reply from the darkness.

>>

"Where are you?" asks the husband.

>>

"Over here on the swing!!" replies the drunk.

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and

this should help get you started.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what

the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be

institutionalized.

 

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a

teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

 

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the

bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

 

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you

want a room with or without a view?"

Things To Do When Jehovah Witnesses Visit You

1. Answer the door naked and carrying weaponry.

 

2. Pretend to be the slowest talking person in the world and see how long their spirit of Christian charity lasts.

 

3. Answer every one of their questions with "What do you mean by that?" This might take a while, but you and your loved ones can have fun placing bets on how long it takes for them to get flustered and leave.

 

4. Ask them to explain the story of Elisha and the Forty two children. You may have to resort to another method to actually get rid of them, but this will definitely make them sweat.

 

5. Excuse yourself from the front door and DO NOT come back.

 

6. Make a series of increasingly reprehensible fake phone calls - your bookie, order for pornography, drug deal, obscene call, and if they are STILL there, a tearful confession to the police for the murder of the last Witnesses who visited you.

 

7. Pick an often repeated word in their vocabulary (God, Jesus, heaven, it, the etc.) and giggle whenever they utter it. If they ask you what's going on, say "nothing, why?" in very even tones, and giggle again.

 

8. Same as above, except say "beep" instead of giggling.

 

9. Guys - part way through, begin putting on make-up, hosiery, a dress, the whole works. Make encouraging noises (uh huh, I see...) throughout and if they ask you what you're doing, pull a #7. If they're still there when you are done, ask them if they would please kindly leave as you have a hot date in ten minutes.

 

10. Look smug and tell them that your God can beat up their God.

Re: Jokes

 

Communication

One reason the Military has trouble operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language. For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.

 

Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.

 

Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.

 

The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an eagle to a condom, because it more accurately reflects its political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

Don't know if this one was told yet, if so I apologize.

 

A ventriloquist visits a farm, and the farmer is showing him around. When he sees a dog by the house, he figures he'll have a little fun with the farmer. So he leans down and asks the dog, "So, how do you like living on this farm?"

 

Then he throws his voice so it sounds like the dog says, "Oh, it's pretty good, lots of chickens to chase, the master gives me a bone now and then. I can't complain."

 

The farmer is amazed, and the ventriloquist walks up to a horse standing by the barn. "And how about you? How's the farmer treat you?" Again throwing his voice, he makes the horse say, "Welllll, I get plenty of hay and a nice wash every week. It would be nice to get to run in the field more, though."

 

The farmer is standing there dumfounded as the ventriloquist heads over to a cow. "How about you, Bossie?" And the cow 'says', "Other than the farmer's cold hands when he milks me, it's pretty nice here."

 

At this point the farmer runs up to the ventriloquist, grabs his arm, and says, "Don't believe the sheep. They're all stinkin' liars."

Re: Jokes

 

The IRS decides to audit Ed, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Ed shows up with his attorney.

 

The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable."

 

"I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Ed. "How about a demonstration?"

 

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, "Okay. Go ahead."

 

Ed says, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye."

 

The auditor thinks a moment and says, "No way! It's a bet."

 

Ed removes his glass eye and bites it.

 

The auditor's jaw drops.

 

Ed says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye."

 

The auditor can tell Ed isn't blind, so he takes the bet.

 

Ed removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

 

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Ed's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

 

"Want to go double or nothing?" Ed asks. "I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between."

 

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this guy can manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

 

Ed stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the desk.

 

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Ed's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

 

"Are you okay?" the auditor asks.

 

"Not really," says the attorney. "This morning, when Ed told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over an IRS official's desk and that you'd be happy about it."

How about a military joke?

 

Private Jones was assigned to the Marine induction center, where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their Serviceman's Group Life Insurance (SGLI). It wasn't long before the center's Lieutenant noticed that Private Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Lt. stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones' sales pitch.

 

Jones explained the basics of the SGLI to the new recruits, and then said. "If you have SGLI and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have SGLI, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000."

 

"Now," he concluded, "which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"

Re: Jokes

 

Working people frequently ask retired people what they

do to make their days interesting. Well, for example,

the other day I went into town and went into a shop.

 

I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came

out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

 

I went up to him and said, "Come on, man, how about

giving a senior citizen a break?"

 

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket

 

I called him a Nazi; he glared at me and started

writing another ticket for having worn tires.

 

I suggested he should try stool softeners to improve

his attitude

 

He finished the second ticket and put it on the

windshield with the first.

 

I offered him a hemorrhoid suppository, suggesting it

might help him fit his head in there. He started

writing a third ticket

 

This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused

him, the more tickets he wrote.

 

Personally, I didn't care. I came into town by bus.

 

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm

retired.

 

It's important at my age.

Cross-posting from the Batman/Captain America thread:

 

At the end of the night a US Marine leaves a bar.

 

Outside he sees a nun. He walks over to her and slaps her in the face. Then he punches her in the stomach and knocks her over.

 

He proceeds to kick her several times and when he's done he bends down to her and says, "Not as tough as a Marine, are you Batman?"

Re: Jokes

 

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you

really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you

informed,the definition for each is listed below ....

 

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys,

being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask:

"Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

 

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys,

smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping

your wife on the ass and having the balls to say: "You're next."

 

I hope this clears up any confusion on the subject.

As a salute to the Amish:

 

An Amish man and his son were riding in their horse-drawn buggy up a long, narrow one-lane road, when they had to stop because of a BMW coming the other way. There was no way for either vehicle to pass the other. Either the car or the buggy would have to back up several miles to let the other through.

 

The Amish man said, "You need to back up, please, so we can continue our journey."

 

The BMW driver said, "Screw that, YOU back up!"

 

The Amish man got out of his buggy, walked up to the BMW while rolling up his sleeves, and said in a deadly calm voice, "Back up, or I will be forced to do something that I truly do not wish to do."

 

The BMW driver was freaked and began backing up the road.

 

As the Amish man got back into his buggy, his son (also a bit in shock) asked, "If he had not backed up, Father, what was it you would have done that you did not wish to do?"

 

The Amish man shrugged. "Back up several miles."

Re: Jokes

 

Alex's joke reminded me of a joke I posted two years ago in the "Clean Joke" thread:

 

A former Navy man is at a party and talking to the wife of a Navy officer. She shows him her necklace, which is made of little semaphore flags. "Isn't it great? It says, "I love you" in semaphore!"

 

Now, the former Navy man is a bit rusty on his semaphore, but he knows that there's no semaphore flag for "love." So he scribbles down a description of the flags to check afterward.

 

When he gets home, he looks up the flags in an old manual. They actually read, "Request permission to lay alongside."
