  • The Cyanide Prescription

    A nice, calm, and respectable woman walks into a pharmacy, goes straight to the pharmacist, looks him in the eye, and says, “I’d like to buy some cyanide.”

    The pharmacist asks, “Why on earth do you need cyanide?”

    The woman replies, “I need it to poison my husband.”

    The pharmacist’s eyes widen, and he exclaims, “My God! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license! We’ll both go to jail! Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”

    The woman reaches into her purse and pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looks at the photo and replies, “Well, that’s different. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

  • The Worst Lover in the World

    A man and a woman are lying together in the afterglow following sex.

  • The Little Bugger and the Condoms

    Neil was staring sadly into his beer and sighed heavily. “What’s up Neil?” asked the bartender. “It’s not like you to be so down in the mouth.”

    “It’s my four year old son…” Neil replied.

    “Don’t tell me, he’s in trouble for fighting in school? – my lad’s just the same – forget about it; it happens to boys that age,” said the bartender, sympathetically.

    “I only wish it was that,” said Neil, “but it’s far worse than that. The little toad has got our gorgeous 18 year old next door neighbour pregnant.”

    “Get away, that’s impossible!” gasped the bartender.

    “It’s not,” said Neil. “The little bugger stuck a pin in all my condoms.”

  • The Escort and the Stripper

    Son: “So, Dad… why the heck did Mom kick you out of the house?”

    Dad: “Well, Son, it’s crazy, she overheard me on the phone with Uncle Mike talking about running some errands.”

    Son: “What errands?”

    Dad: “Mike was going to pick up a used car, and I was heading to the store for a tool to strip paint off some furniture.”

    Son: “What’s wrong with that? That doesn’t sound so bad…”

    Dad: “Yeah… I know, but all your mum heard was, ‘You go get the Escort, I’ll grab the stripper, and we’ll meet at your place.’”

  • The MIT Engineer’s Salary Negotiation

    At the end of a job interview, the head of human resources asks the young engineer fresh out of MIT, “What starting salary were you looking for?”

    The engineer decides to shoot for the moon. “I’m thinking in the range of $125,000 a year or so, depending on the benefits package.”

    “Hmm,” says the interviewer. “Well, what would you say to five weeks’ vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a retirement fund with company matching to 50 percent of salary, and a company car leased every two years — say, a Porsche?”

    The engineer gasps and says, “Wow! Are you kidding?”

    “Yeah,” replies the interviewer, “but you started it.”

  • Chess With the Cat

    The clerk is astonished.

    “Your wife’s name is Crisco?”

    The old guy answers, “Oh no, no, no. I only call her that when we’re out in public.”

    “I see,” said the clerk. “What do you call her at home?”

    “Lard ass.”
