    She came home with pizza and McDonald’s French fries.

    Visiting hours for Bob are between 9:00am and 2:00pm at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

  • Had to Pop the Trunk

    I won a balloon elephant at the fair and it wouldn’t fit in the back seat of the car. So I had to pop the trunk.

  • The Sisters and the Town Name

    Two retired sisters from Ohio were on a road trip, taking their time and enjoying the scenery across the South. They had snacks in the car, country music on the radio, and plenty to chat about.

    As they drove through Texas, they kept seeing signs for a town called Nacogdoches. Before long, they started arguing about how on earth you’re supposed to pronounce it.

    One sister insisted the “g” was silent and the ending sounded like “cheese.” The other said it must be a soft “j” sound, with the ending pronounced “shay.”

    Every time another road sign appeared, the debate started all over again. Neither one was willing to back down, and it got more serious with every mile.

    Finally, they reached the town itself, and one sister said, “That’s it, we’re settling this. Let’s stop somewhere and ask a local how to say it properly.”

    They pulled into a small fast-food place and walked up to the counter to order lunch. After paying, one sister smiled and said, “Excuse me, could you help us with something?”

    “We’ve been arguing about how to pronounce the name of this place for over an hour. Would you mind saying it out loud for us… nice and slow?”

    The young man behind the counter looked at them, paused for a moment, then nodded. Very slowly and clearly, he said, “Burrr… ger… King.”

  • The Toothbrush in the Toilet

    My 4-year-old grandson came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he’d dropped his toothbrush in the toilet.

    So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage.

    He stood there thinking for a moment… then ran to my bathroom and came back with my toothbrush.

    He held it up with a charming little smile and said, “We better throw this one out too… ’cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.”

  • Tom and the Alaskan Party

    After 25 years in the liquor business, Tom quits, buys 50 acres in remote Alaska, and lives in total peace with no visitors for six months.

    One day, there’s a knock. A huge, bearded man says, “Name’s Lars, your neighbor from 40 miles up the road. Having a party Friday at 5. You should come.”

    “Sounds great,” says Tom.

    Lars starts to leave, then adds, “Gonna be some drinkin’.”

    “No problem—I can handle that.”

    “Probably some fightin’, too.”

    “I get along with folks—I’ll be fine.”

    “Maybe some wild sex, too.”

    “Even better!” Tom grins. “What should I wear?”

    Lars shrugs. “Don’t matter… just gonna be the two of us.”

  • Marge and Mildred at the Wheel

    After sharing a bottle of wine, Marge and Diane were driving home. Both short, they could barely see over the dashboard.

    Soon, they came to an intersection. The light was red, but they drove straight through.

    The woman in the passenger seat thought, “I must be losing it. I could’ve sworn that was a red light.”

    A minute later, another red light—and they drove through it. At the next red light, they drove right through again!

    She turned to her friend and said, “Mildred, did you know we just ran three red lights?! You could have killed us!”

    Mildred looked over and said, “Oh geez… am I driving?”

  • Billy Ray and Bubba at the Bar

    Billy Ray and Bubba walked into a bar and ordered a couple of drinks. Then they took sandwiches from paper bags they had brought from home and began to eat.

    Seeing this, the angry bar owner approached them and says, “Excuse me, you cannot eat your own sandwiches in here!”

    Billy Ray and Bubba looked at each other, shrugged, and exchanged sandwiches.

  • The Three Nuns at the Pearly Gates

    Three nuns on a monthly trip to the city to sell goods from the convent’s garden got hit by a drunk driver and killed. They all went to heaven where they were met by St. Peter at the gate.

    St. Peter, seeing that they were nuns, told them, “Well, ladies, seeing that you are all religious types, we’ll have to administer a little admissions test before letting you in. Nothing to worry about. Only one question.”

    St. Peter asks the first nun, “OK, your question is: Who was the first man on earth?”

    The nun replies, “Oh, that’s easy. It was Adam.”

    Lights flash. Horns blow. The gates open wide and she was let in.

    St. Peter then asks the second nun, “OK, your question is: Who was the first woman on earth?”

    The nun replies, “Oh, that’s easy. It was Eve.”

    And again, lights flash. Horns blow. The gates open wide and she was let in.

    St. Peter then tells the third nun, “Well, you ladies are really on top of things. I’ll have to think of a more difficult question. Oh, I have it. Your question is: What was the first thing Eve said to Adam when she saw him?”

    The third nun gets a rather confused look on her face, begins scratching her head and finally replies, “Gee, that’s a hard one.”

    Lights flash. Horns blow. The gates open wide and she was let in.
