  • Three Pints for Brotherhood!

    An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness, and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.

    When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

    The bartender asks him, “You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it. Wouldn’t you rather I draw fresh pints for you one at a time?”

    The fellow replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is now in America and the other in Australia. When we all left home, we promised we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together.”

    The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and leaves it there.

    The fellow becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way: he orders three pints and drinks them in turn.

    One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the regulars notice and fall silent, speculating about what might have happened to one of the absent brothers.

    When the fellow goes back to the bar for a second round, the bartender says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss.”

    The fellow looks confused for a moment, then he laughs and says, “Oh, no, everyone’s fine. I’ve just given up beer for Lent.”

  • Bearly A Joke: Legal Trouble in the Woods

    An American lawyer and his Czech brother-in-law are on a hunting vacation in Canada.

    As they exit their tent, they run into a male and female bear in the middle of an intimate moment. Enraged at the interruption, the male bear roars, rears up, and, with a sudden pounce, swallows the lawyer’s brother-in-law whole!

    The American runs for help, calling out for their Canadian ranger guide, who shows up with his hunting rifle. The American points at the male bear and says, “Quick! Shoot him, but be careful—my brother-in-law’s inside his belly!”

    The ranger levels his hunting rifle, takes aim, and shoots the female bear dead! Startled by the shot, the male bear runs off.

    The American falls to his knees, looks at the Canadian, and asks, “Why did you shoot the wrong bear?”

    The ranger scoffs and says, “Did you really expect me to believe a lawyer who tells me the Czech is in the male?”

  • Condom Conundrums: A Young Man’s Dilemma

    A young man goes into a drugstore to buy condoms.

    The pharmacist tells him they come in packs of 3, 9, or 12 and asks which he’d like.

    “Well,” the young man says, “I’ve been seeing this girl for a while, and she’s really hot. I think tonight’s the night. We’re having dinner with her parents, then we’re going out afterward. I’ve got a feeling I’m gonna get lucky… and once she’s had me, she’ll want me all the time. Better give me the 12-pack.”

    So he buys the condoms and leaves.

    Later that evening, he’s sitting at dinner with the girl and her parents. He asks if he can say the blessing, and they agree.

    He starts praying… and keeps praying… and praying… for several minutes.

    Finally, the girl leans over and whispers, “You never told me you were such a religious person.”

    He whispers back,

    “You never told me your father was a pharmacist.”

  • Hooked on Rescue: A Fishy Dilemma!

    Three guys are fishing out of a boat. One guy’s lure gets stuck, and when he tries to reel it in, the line breaks. He tells the others with him that the lure was his favorite and that he is not leaving without it.

    He takes off his shirt and shoes and jumps in. He’s down there for such a long time that one of the other guys jumps in to try and save him. That guy is down for a while, but finally the guy still in the boat sees the second guy pop up with the first guy in tow.

    The one in the boat helps pull the guy in and right away starts to give him mouth-to-mouth. Almost instantly, he stops and says, “I can’t do it—his breath is horrible.”

    The other guy takes over as soon as he gets into the boat. Then he stops and says, “You’re right! I don’t remember his breath ever being that bad. In fact, I don’t remember him wearing that snowmobile suit.”

  • Priorities: Lawyering vs. Giving Back

    A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town’s most successful lawyer.

    The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.

    “Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn’t you like to give back to the community in some way?”

    The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, “First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?”

    Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, “Um… no.”

    “—or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?”

    The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted.

    “—or that my sister’s husband died in a traffic accident,” the lawyer’s voice rising in indignation, “leaving her penniless with three children?!”

    The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, “I had no idea…”

    The lawyer cut him off once again: “So if I don’t give any money to them, why should I give any to you?”

  • Unexpected Guests: A Night at the Farm

    A Jew, a Hindu, and a lawyer are driving down a country road.

    Of course, their car breaks down, and they are forced to walk. They walk for hours, and as the sun is setting, they come upon an old farmhouse. They decide to take a chance and knock on the door. An old farmer answers, and the trio explain their situation.

    The farmer says, “Welp, ain’t nobody ’round here can help y’all till the morning. But y’all are welcome to spend the night here. But one of y’all is gonna have to bed down in the barn, ’cause I only got two spare beds, ya see.”

    So the trio draws straws, and the Jew gets the short one. He goes out to the barn to sleep, and everyone else goes to bed.

    A few minutes later, the farmer hears a knock on his door. He opens it, and the Jew is standing there. The Jew says, “I can’t sleep in the barn. There’s a pig in there. It’s forbidden for me to sleep near such a filthy animal.”

    So they wake up the Hindu, and he agrees to swap places with the Jew. Everyone goes back to bed.

    A few minutes later, the farmer hears a knock on his door. He opens it, and the Hindu is standing there. The Hindu says, “I can’t sleep in the barn. There’s a cow in there. I am unworthy to sleep near such a holy animal.”

    So they wake up the lawyer, and he goes out to sleep in the barn. Everyone goes back to bed.

    A few minutes later, the farmer hears a knock on his door. He opens it, and there’s a pig and a cow standing there.

  • Don’t Worry, It’s Just the Drums!

    The Drums, the Drums!

    Two intrepid explorers are navigating up a remote river in Africa with the assistance of some native bearers.

    The first night, around the fire, the sound of drums can be heard in the distance. The explorers are clearly discomfited by the sound, but the natives tell them to relax—it’s not a big deal.

    The following night, the drums can be heard again, only much closer and louder. The explorers think this can’t be good and are visibly shaken. Again, the bearers tell them to calm down, that the drums are harmless.

    The third night, the drums are louder still, and the explorers are barely keeping it together. Suddenly…the drums stop.

    Now it is the bearers who are quaking, trembling in terror. When the explorers ask them the reason for this, the leader says, in a quavering voice,

    “Very bad! When drums stop, bass solo begins!”

  • Heavenly Rewards for Marital Honesty!

    At the Pearly Gates, St. Peter is processing new entrants to heaven, but heaven is a fair distance away.

    Peter asks the man at the front of the line, “How many times have you cheated on your wife?”

    The man replies, “I have never cheated on my wife.”

    St. Peter replies, “Okay, you get a Lamborghini,” and the man drives off toward heaven in it.

    Peter asks the next man in line the same question, and the man replies, “Once, but I felt really guilty about it.”

    Peter replies, “Okay, you get a Suzuki Sidekick,” and the man drives off toward heaven in it.

    Peter asks the third man in line the same question, and the man replies, “Oh, it’s not even funny how many times I cheated on my wife.”

    Peter replies, “Okay, you get a motor scooter,” and the man drives off toward heaven in it.

    Soon, the Suzuki Sidekick driver runs into the Lamborghini driver, who’s crying while pulled over to the side of the road. He asks what’s wrong, and the Lamborghini driver replies, “I just saw my wife go by on a skateboard!”

  • It definitely wouldn’t be this one

    I saw a guy carrying a screaming toddler across the parking lot.

    He noticed me looking at him and said, “He’s mine. I’m not stealing him or anything.”

    Before I could reply, he added, “If I was gonna take one, it definitely wouldn’t be this asshole.”
