(from Don Domanski) – The Ventriloquist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small town in Oklahoma.  With his dummy on his knee,  he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde  woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting:   "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes.  What makes you think you can stereotype women that way?  What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being?   It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected  at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential  as a person....because you and your kind continue to perpetuate  discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general and  all in the name of humor!"

The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde
yells, "You stay out of this, mister!  I'm talking to that little smart ass on your knee."

I was trying to make conversation with a man from the Philippines.

When he said he was from Manila, I replied, "I use your envelopes."

 

I work for a good cause. 'cause I need the money.   -Kelly-

 

Payday at my house is like the Academy Awards. My wife says, May I

have the envelope please?"   -Henny Youngman-

 

My wife wanted to go someplace expensive over the weekend, so I took

her to a Shell station.   -Jay Leno-

 

People say that losing weight is no walk in the park. When I hear

that I think, yeah, that's the problem.    -Chris Adams-

 

If you lose weight, where does it go?    -Carol Leifer-

 

Thirty years ago the cell phone was invented. Two seconds later the inventor crashed into the car in front of him.

 

I used to be quite an athlete, big chest, hard stomach. But all

that's behind me now.   -Bob Hope-

After having dug to a depth of 1,000 meters, French scientists last year found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years.

After some analysis and discussions, the Frenchmen held a press conference announcing their conclusion: that their ancestors had already a telephone network all those centuries ago.

 

Not to be outdone, English scientists dug to a depth of 2,000 a couple of month’s later and found strange elongated glass tubes.  Headlines in the U. K. newspapers read "English archaeologists find traces of 2,000-year-old fiber-optic cable" and concluded their ancestors had an advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand years before the French telephone.


Earlier this year, Israeli newspapers reported the following: "After digging 5,000 meters near a Jerusalem marketplace, scientists found absolutely nothing. They therefore concluded that 5,000 years ago, Jews were already using highly advanced wireless technology."

(from Don and from Dick Sziede) – Country Preacher

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An old southern country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting  time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.

 

One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:

a Bible, a silver dollar, a bottle of whisky and a Playboy magazine.

 

"I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum."

 

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

 

Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.

 

"Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "he's gonna be a Congressman!"

(from cousin Toby) – A Truly Touching Love Story

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This 80 year old woman was arrested for shop lifting.    When she went before the judge in Cincinnati he asked her,    "What did you steal?" She replied, "A can of peaches."

The judge then asked her why she had stolen the can of peaches
   and she replied that she was hungry. The judge then asked her    how many peaches were in the can. She replied 6.

The judge then said, "I will then give you 6 days in jail."

Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment, the
   woman's husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say    something. The judge said, "What is it?"

The husband said, "She also stole a can of peas."

(from Judy Hirsch) – Abe and Esther

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two week vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces,  "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we will may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!"

 

 Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island. An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks :

 

 "Esther, did we pay our charity pledge check to Beth Shalom  Synagogue yet?"

 

 "No, sweetheart," she responds.

 

  Abe, still shaken from the crash landing,  then asks :

 

 "Esther, did we pay our United Jewish Appeal pledge?"

 

 "Oy, no, I'm sorry. I forgot to send the check," she says.

 

 "One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send a check for the Synagogue Building Fund this month," he asks?

 

 "Oy, forgive me, Abie," begged Esther. "I didn't send that one, either."

Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years. Esther pulls away and asks him, "So, why did you kiss me?" Abe answers :

 

 "They'll find us."

Too Good … the last one is a killer!

 

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place.   Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me.   If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."


~~~~~

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

The man said, "I do, Father."

The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."

Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.

"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."

The priest said, "I don't believe this.   You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes.   I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died.   He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.

"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"

"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney.   "Where are ye callin' from?"


~~~~~

Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy.   He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step.   As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump.   A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding.   He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.

He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.

She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"

Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"

"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

Murphy' s Hat

Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. Murphy had never been seen in church in his life.

After Mass, the priest caught up with Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass, what made ya come?"

 Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn came to church every Sunday. I also knew that McGlynn had to take off his hat during Mass and I figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."

The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"

Murphy said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."

 The priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in Hell, right ?"

Murphy slowly shook his head and said, "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."

(from Jackster) – Best Game Ever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second. On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang.

It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a Terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.

The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that the he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf. He decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital. He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting a personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant.... Then he remembered his wife.

Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition.

The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished Your round of golf didn't you!

"I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself at the country club your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will be more than likely your last!" "For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care. And you'll have to be her care giver!"

The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed The doctor snickered and said, "Just messing with you. She's dead. What'd you shoot?"
