  • The Weekend Hunter and the Swollen Eye

    A man leaves for work one Friday afternoon. Instead of going home afterward, he spends the entire weekend hunting with his buddies and blows his whole paycheck.

    When he finally gets home Sunday night, his wife is furious. She spends the next two hours giving him an earful.

    Finally, she asks, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?”

    He replies, “That’d be fine with me.”

    Monday comes and goes, and he doesn’t see his wife.

    Tuesday and Wednesday pass with the same result.

    By Thursday, the swelling has gone down just enough for him to see her out of the corner of his left eye.

  • 90-Year-Old at His Check-Up

    A 90-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up. The doctor asked him how he was feeling and the 90-year-old said things are great and I’ve never felt better. I now have a 23-year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that?

    The doctor considered his question for a moment and then began. I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was setting off to go hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. As he neared a lake he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water’s edge.

    He realized he’d left his gun at home and so he would not be able to shoot the magnificent creature but, out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it was his favorite hunting rifle and went “bang, bang”. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. Now, what do you think of that?

    The 90-year-old said, “If you ask me, I’d say somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver.”

    The doctor replied, “My point exactly.”

  • Leaving Early

    Three women all worked in the same office with the same female boss. Each day, they watched the boss leave work early. One day, the ladies decided that when the boss left, they would leave right behind her. After all, she never came back to work, or called to check in, so how would she possibly know they went home early?

    The brunette was thrilled to get home early… she did a little gardening, spent playtime with her son, and had an early dinner with her husband.

    The redhead was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at the gym before meeting a dinner date.

    The blonde was happy to get home early and surprise her husband, but when she got to her bedroom, she heard a muffled noise from inside. Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her husband in bed with her boss!

    Gently, she closed the door and crept out of the house.

    The next day, at their coffee break, the brunette and redhead planned to leave early again, and they asked the blonde if she was going to go with them.

    “No way!” the blonde exclaimed. “I almost got caught yesterday!”

  • Grandma’s Photo Suggestion

    A man moves into a nudist colony.

    A few days later, he receives a letter from his grandmother asking him to send a recent photo of himself in his new home.

    Embarrassed to let her know he lives in a nudist colony, he cuts a photo in half and mails it.

    The next day, he realizes he accidentally sent the bottom half.

    He panics, but then remembers how poor his grandmother’s eyesight is and hopes she won’t notice.

    A few weeks later, he receives a letter from her.

    It reads:

    My dearest grandson,

    It was so wonderful to receive your letter and picture. It made my whole week, and I’m so happy to see you’re settling into your new home.

    I do have one small suggestion, though. You should really change your hairstyle. It makes your nose look too short.

    Love always,
    Grandma

  • The Bald Man and the Forest

    There was an old man who lived by a forest. As he grew older and older, he started losing his hair, until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. That day, he called his children to a meeting…

    He said, “Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it’s completely gone now. My hair can’t be saved. But look outside at the forest. It’s such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they’ll all be cut down and this forest will look as bald as my hair.”

    “What I want you to do…” the man continued. “Is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your descendants to do the same. It shall be our family’s duty to keep this forest strong.”

    So they did.

    Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them.

    And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heirline.

  • Can I Come Over

    I was in Walmart using the restroom when, just as I closed the stall door, a voice from the next stall said:

    “Hey! How’s it going over there?”

    Embarrassed, I replied, “Not bad, thanks.”

    The voice asked, “Cool. What are you up to?”

    I said, “Umm… just trying to take care of a little private business over here.”

    Then the voice asked, “Alright. Can I come over?”

    Shocked, I replied, “Excuse me?!”

    Then I heard, “Listen, I’ll have to call you back. Some idiot in the next stall keeps answering all my questions.”

    I stayed in the stall until he left.

  • The Genie, the Pianist, and the Million Ducks

    A guy walks into a bar carrying a briefcase and an old brass lamp.

    He sits down and sets both on the bar.

    The bartender pours him a drink and asks, “What’s in the briefcase?”

    The man opens it to reveal a tiny man sitting at a piano, playing beautifully.

    “Where on earth did you get that?” the bartender asks.

    The man points to the lamp. “A genie. He granted me a wish.”

    “No way,” says the bartender. “Can I try?”

    “Be my guest.”

    The bartender rubs the lamp, and out pops a genie.

    “What is your wish?” asks the genie.

    The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “I want a million bucks!”

    The genie claps his hands.

    Instantly, the bar is filled with a million ducks.

    Ducks are everywhere. On the tables, behind the bar, hanging from the light fixtures.

    The bartender stares in disbelief.

    “What’s wrong with this genie?” he shouts. “He must be hard of hearing!”

    The man takes a sip of his drink and says, “You think? Do you really believe I wished for a 12-inch pianist?”

  • I Wish I Could Be You

    I met a genie who offered me one wish.

    I said, “I wish I could be you.”

    The genie replied,

    “Weurd wush… but U wull grant ut.”

  • The Bank Robbery and the Triplets

    So a lady walks into a bank, and right when she gets into the bank it gets held up, and she gets shot three times in the stomach, and she’s pregnant, so that’s no good.

    She’s rushed to the hospital and they fix her up. As she leaves she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor says, “Oh! You’re going to have triplets. Don’t worry, they’ll be just fine, but each one has a bullet lodged in its stomach. Don’t worry though, the bullets will pass through their system through normal metabolism.”

    As time goes on the woman has three children, two girls and a boy.

    Twelve years later, one of the girls comes up to her mother and says, “Mommy, a very weird thing just happened to me. I was going to the bathroom and a bullet dropped into the toilet.” The woman comforts her and tells her what happened at the bank.

    A couple weeks later, the other daughter comes up and goes, “Mom, I was in the bathroom and I heard a ping and there was a bullet there.”

    The mother goes, “Honey, don’t worry,” and tells her about the bank.

    A month later the son comes in and says, “Mommy, I’ve done a very bad thing!”

    “You passed a bullet into the toilet, didn’t you?”

    “No, I was jerking off and I shot the dog.”
