  • Coffee on the Captain

    Shortly after a British Airways flight had reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced:

    “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain. Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to Toronto. The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth uneventful flight. So sit back, relax and… OH, MY GOD!”

    Silence followed and passengers waited with bated breath.

    Some moments later the captain came back on the intercom.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!”

    One Irish passenger yelled, “FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. YOU SHOULD SEE THE BACK OF MINE!!!”

  • Uncle Terrence Names the Twins

    Harry was deployed in the military when his pregnant wife Suzie was expecting to give birth.

    Harry was worried about the logistics of it all and how Suzie would handle the birth as they were pretty far from their family and didn’t have anyone they could reliably ask for help.

    Harry decided to ask his family if they could send someone to help Suzie.

    “Your brother Terrence will be available, let’s ask him,” Harry’s mom suggested on the phone.

    “Mom, Terrence couldn’t tell his left foot from his right one, he once punched a mirror because he thought his own reflection was someone else. I don’t want that idiot near my kids,” Harry replied.

    “Nonsense, that was years ago, he’s doing much better now. He’s great with instructions and will do all that the doctors say,” his mom replied, and so Harry reluctantly agreed.

    On the fateful day, Suzie called Harry and told him she felt her water breaking and was rushing to the hospital. Harry called up his brother Terrence and asked him to accompany Suzie and do what the doctors said.

    Over the next few days Harry only got brief updates from Terrence with messages like “under control” and “don’t worry.”

    6 days later Harry finally got Terrence on the phone and asked him for the good news.

    “There’s good news and bad news,” Terrence said.

    “What’s the bad news?” Harry asked.

    “Suzie is still at the hospital and the doctors say she’ll need a few days to come around,” replied Terrence.

    “And the good news?” Harry asked tentatively.

    “You got twins, they’re both healthy, but there’s better news.”

    Harry let out a large sigh of relief. “Ok, what’s the better news?”

    “They’re a boy and a girl. Mom came over today and we got the kids home. But there’s even better news,” Terrence replied.

    Harry was relieved but puzzled. “What’s the better news now?”

    “I got to name them,” Terrence said happily.

    Harry groaned loudly and angrily asked, “Did you name my son Denephew?”

    “No no, I named him Harrison,” Terrence replied.

    “Ok that’s not so bad,” Harry replied, but then immediately yelped, “WAIT, did you name my daughter Harridaughter?”

    “Of course not,” replied Terrence confidently. “I named her Ford.”

  • Perfect Eyesight on the Golf Course

    Jimmy is a 78-year-old retiree who has played golf every day for nearly 20 years. He arrives home from the course and he’s quite dejected. He tells his bride that he’s gonna hang up the sticks as he can no longer see his ball after he takes a swing, and it really makes him upset!

    His wife sympathizes and makes him a cup of tea. As they sit down she says, “Why don’t you take my brother with you and give it one more try.”

    “That’s no good,” sighs the dejected retiree, “your brother is 85 years old! He can’t help.”

    “He may be 85,” says the patient wife, “but his eyesight is nearly perfect.”

    So the next day Jimmy heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law. He tees it up on the first hole, takes a mighty swing and squints down the fairway, and immediately asks the brother-in-law, “Did you see the ball?”

    “Of course I did!” answers the brother-in-law. “I have perfect eyesight.”

    “Where did it go?” Jimmy asks.

    “I don’t remember.”

  • The Pastor and the Post Office

    A delightful angelic little boy was waiting for his mother outside the ladies’ room of the gas station…

    As he stood there, he was approached by a man who asked, “Sonny, can you tell me where the Post Office is?”

    The little boy replied, “Sure! Just go straight down this street two blocks and turn to your right. It’s on the left.”

    The man thanked the boy kindly, complimented him on how bright he was, and said, “I’m the new pastor in town. If you and your mommy come to church on Sunday, I’ll show you how to get to Heaven.”

    The little boy replied with a chuckle, “You’re kidding me, right? You can’t even find the Post Office.”

  • A Quick 9 Holes

    A guy and his wife had their 27th wedding anniversary last Sunday.

    He said, “Honey, I made a reservation at your favorite restaurant, and have an awesome evening planned for the two of us. But would it be alright if I got in a quick 9 holes first?”

    She replies, “Of course. Go have some fun!”

    He goes to the golf course and decides to have a beer before teeing it up. A very attractive blonde comes up to him at the bar and says, “I’ve had my eye on you for years. Forget golf for today, chug your beer, and we’re going back to my place!”

    She’s not going to take no for an answer, drags him back to her house, and screws his brains out!

    The man, feeling extremely remorseful, decides that he has to tell his wife about his infidelity, and he returns home.

    The GPS shows that his house is right around the corner from where he cheated on his wife, and he realizes that he just slept with his neighbor!

    He walks through the door and tells his wife, “Honey, I have to tell you something. I didn’t end up playing golf today. I haven’t been faithful to you, and actually ended up sleeping with Jennifer from two streets away.”

    His wife replied, “Bullshit! You rat bastard, you played 18 holes, didn’t you!”

    A little boy replied, “The period.”

    Teacher: “Can you tell me why?”

    The little boy: “I’m not sure, but when my sister missed hers, my mom fainted, my dad got super mad, and the boy a few houses down left town and never came back.”
