  • The Barber and the Mother-in-Law

    A man gets a haircut, and the barber keeps asking, “So… how’s your mother-in-law these days?”

    The man replies, “She’s fine.”

    A few minutes later, the barber asks again, “And your mother-in-law? How’s she doing?”

    The man starts getting irritated.

    “I just told you she’s fine! Why do you keep asking about her?”

    The barber grins and says, “Oh, it’s not because I care. Every time I mention your mother-in-law, your hair stands straight up, and that makes it much easier for me to cut.”

  • Putin’s Driver and the Pig

    Vladimir Putin and his driver were on their way to Kyiv in a car when all of a sudden they hit a pig near a farmhouse, killing it instantly.

    Putin told his driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happened. About one hour later, Putin sees his driver staggering back to the car with a bottle of Horilka (Ukrainian vodka) in one hand, a cigar in the other, and his clothes all disheveled.

    “What happened to you?” asked Putin.

    “Well, the farmer gave me the Horilka, his wife gave me a box of cigars and their 19 year old and 21 year old daughters made mad passionate love to me simultaneously.”

    “My God, what did you tell them?” asks Putin.

    The driver replies, “I’m president Putin’s driver, and I just killed the pig.”

  • Dinner with the Girlfriend’s Parents

    A man is invited to his girlfriend’s home for dinner to meet her family. He purchases a motorcycle the day of the dinner for an amazingly low price. The man selling the motorcycle throws in a free tub of Vaseline with the purchase. He tells the buyer that he is selling it for such a low price because this particular motorcycle can’t have a wet carburetor. The moment there is a hint of rain, it must be covered in Vaseline. The buyer agrees and can’t wait to show up at his girlfriend’s parents’ home riding a motorcycle.

    She warns him that her family has an unusual dinner tradition: the first person to speak must do all the dishes. He thinks it’s odd but agrees to the dinner.

    He drives up to the house and puts the tub of Vaseline in his pocket and goes to the door. His girlfriend opens the door and whispers to him that dinner has already begun and he must remain silent or else do all of the dishes. He walks past the kitchen and sees what looks like a week of dirty dishes piled up. He certainly is not going to speak first and be stuck with that mess.

    He sits down and sees a family eating dinner with their heads down, eating in complete silence. He decides he can get someone to speak. He throws his girlfriend on the dinner table and has his way with her. Nobody even looks up.

    He then throws the mother on the table and has his way with her. Again, nobody even looks up from their plate.

    Just then, a loud clap of thunder rattles the house. Remembering about the motorcycle, the boyfriend reaches into his pocket and pulls out the tub of Vaseline.

    The father stands up and says, “Okay, I’ll do the dishes!”

  • Bring Your Child to Work Day

    I took my eight-year-old girl to the office with me on Bring Your Child to Work Day.

    As we walked around the office, she starting crying, so I asked her what was wrong.

    As my colleagues gathered round, she sobbed: “But Daddy, where are all the clowns you said you worked with?”

  • The Dog-Friendly Hotel

    A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation. He wrote, “I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?”

    An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, “I’ve been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware, or pictures off the walls. I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here too.”

  • The Four Seniors and the Christmas Golf Game

    Four seniors were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how great it would be to wake up on Christmas morning, roll out of bed, go directly to the golf course, and play eighteen holes together.

    The others chimed in and said, “Let’s do this! We’ll make it a priority — and each of us must figure out a way to meet here early Christmas morning!”

    Several months later, it’s Christmas morning, and each man is at the golf course as promised, ready to play golf just as they’d discussed.

    The first guy says, “Boy, this round has cost me a fortune! I had to buy my wife a diamond ring that she really wanted.”

    The second guy remarks, “I spent a ton of money too. My wife is at home with travel brochures all over the place, planning a cruise I had to give her.”

    The third guy says, “Well, my wife is at home admiring the new car I agreed to buy for her.”

    They all turned to the fourth guy, who was staring at them and shaking his head as if they’d all lost their minds.

    He said, “I can’t believe you guys spent so much. Let me tell you what I did. I slapped my wife on the butt and said, ‘Merry Christmas, babe! It looks like a great morning, so it’s either gonna be the golf course or intercourse?’”

    And she said, “You’ll need a sweater, and don’t forget your hat!”

  • The Cabbie and the Preacher at the Pearly Gates

    A cab driver dies and reaches the Pearly Gates.

    St. Peter looks him up in his Big Book and tells him to pick up a gold staff and a silk robe and proceed into Heaven.

    Next in line is a preacher.

    St. Peter looks him up in his Big Book, furrows his brow, and says, “OK, we’ll let you in, but take that cloth robe and wooden staff.”

    The preacher is shocked.

    “But I am a man of the cloth! You gave that cab driver a gold staff and a silk robe. Surely I rate higher than a cabbie!”

    St. Peter responds matter-of-factly:

    “This is Heaven, and up here we’re interested in results. When you preached, people slept. When the cabbie drove his taxi, people prayed.”

  • Little Johnny and the Spelling Lesson

    A teacher asked her third grade class to name things that ended with “tor” and that also ate things.

    The first little boy said, “Alligator.” “Very good James, that’s a big word.”

    The second boy said, “Predator.” “Yes, that’s another big word Alan, well done.”

    Little Johnny says, “Vibrator.”

    After nearly falling off her chair, the teacher says, “That’s a big word Johnny, but it doesn’t eat anything.”

    “Well my mother has one and she says it eats batteries like there’s no tomorrow!”

  • Little Johnny and the Substitute Teacher

    Little Johnny walks into school one day to find a substitute in place of his regular teacher.

    She says, “Hello class. I’m Miss Prussy. When you say my name, remember it has an ‘R’ after the first letter.”

    The entire class says, “Hello, Miss Prussy!”

    A few days later, Johnny’s regular teacher is out again, and Miss Prussy has returned as the substitute.

    She says, “Good morning, Johnny. Do you remember my name?”

    Johnny thinks hard, and he says to the teacher, “I remember it has an ‘R’ after the first letter.”

    “That’s right!” she coaxed.

    After a few seconds, little Johnny says, “Miss Crunt?”
