  • The Genie and the Two Wishes

    A guy finds an old lamp in the desert. He rubs it and a genie pops out. The genie tells the guy he has two wishes.

    The guy says, “I always thought it was three wishes.”

    The genie says, “Check your pants.”

    The guy looks down and says, “Woah, it’s huge!”

    And the genie says, “I’ve been doing this for a long time.”

  • Petey Penguin and the Blown Seal

    Petey Penguin goes on holiday to the land down under and takes a road trip across the Nullarbor Plain, a notoriously isolated road running for thousands of miles through hot, hot desert without a tree in sight.

    After days of driving through endless harsh desert, the engine in his clapped-out combi starts to splutter and die. Through the rippling heat haze ahead of him, Petey thinks he can just make out a servo (petrol station) in the far distance.

    With the air-con in his combi spurting out hot air and the engine spewing out smoke, he manages to limp the van into the shade of the servo.

    Petey’s luck is in! Not only does the servo have a mechanic and workshop, but also a nice air-conditioned shop, complete with a full gelato (ice-cream) bar!

    Petey explains his predicament to the friendly mechanic and then beats a retreat to the shop to cool down. Penguins aren’t great in the heat! He buys a whole tub of vanilla ice-cream and goes to town, like a dog at a tucker box, flippers to beak, no time for spoons, ice-cream flying everywhere!

    After he’s recovered his cool, Petey waddles out to talk to the mechanic, who’s busy working on the car.

    “Any idea what’s wrong with it?” Petey warbles nervously.

    “Yeah-nah. Looks like you’ve blown a seal!” drawls the mechanic.

    “No! It’s just ice-cream, honest!”

  • The Twenty-Dollar Tomatoes

    A guy went to a supermarket to buy 2 tomatoes.

    At the checkout, the clerk said, “That’ll be $20.”

    The guy was upset. “Two tomatoes for $20? Are you out of your mind?!”

    The clerk said, “That’s the price, you want them or not?”

    The guy said, “I don’t want them, and you know what you can do with them?”

    The clerk said, “I can’t, there’s already a $10 cucumber there.”

  • The Woman and the Discharge

    A woman went to the doctor and said, “I’m getting too much discharge.”

    The doctor said, “Pop your knickers off and slip onto the bed.”

    He put on his latex gloves and slipped 2 fingers into her vagina.

    “How does that feel?” he asked.

    “Fucking lovely,” she replied. “But the discharge is in my ear.”

  • Sally and the Obstetrician

    Sally, Billy Ray’s wife, pregnant with her first child, was at her obstetrician’s office. When the exam was over, she said, “My husband wants me to ask you…”

    “I know, I know,” the doctor said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “I get asked that all the time. Sex is fine until late in the pregnancy.”

    “No, that’s not it at all,” Sally answered. “Billy Ray wants to know if I can still mow the yard.”

  • The Burglarized House and the K-9 Unit

    Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized…

    She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime.

    The police dispatcher broadcast the call and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond.

    As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the steps.

    Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, “I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman!”

  • Grandma in the Lineup

    A girl was a prostitute, but she didn’t want her grandma to know…

    One day, the police raided a whole group of prostitutes at a sex party in a hotel and the girl was among them.

    The police took them outside and had all the prostitutes line up along the driveway when suddenly, the girl’s grandma came by and saw her granddaughter.

    Grandma asked, “Why are you standing in line here, dear?”

    Not willing to let her grandmother know the truth, the girl told her grandmother that the policemen were there passing out free oranges and she was just lining up for some.

    “Why, that’s awfully nice of them. I think I’ll get some for myself,” and she proceeded to the back of the line.

    A policeman was going down the line asking for information from all of the prostitutes.

    When he got to Grandma, he was bewildered and exclaimed, “Wow, still going at it at your age? How do you do it?”

    Grandma replied, “Oh, it’s easy, dear. I just take my dentures out, rip the skin back and suck them dry.”

  • The New Labourer on the Worksite

    The foreman on a large worksite noticed a new labourer one day and barked at him, “What’s your name?”

    “John,” the new bloke replied.

    The foreman scowled. “Look, I don’t know what kind of wishy-washy worksite you were on before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It’s weak and wastes time. I call my employees by their last name only — Smith, Jones, Baker, that’s all. If I want a job done, I yell, ‘Baker, get this’ or ‘Jones, do that.’ Now that we have that straight, what’s your last name?”

    The new bloke sighed. “Darling. My name is John Darling.”

    The foreman paused briefly for a couple of seconds, then said quietly… “Ok John, the first thing I want you to do is…!”

  • The Janitor at the Clinic

    Old Doc Henderson had been wanting to get out to his deer stand for weeks, and one Thursday morning he decided enough was enough — the fish and the deer weren’t going to wait forever.

    He pulled his janitor, Clarence, aside and said, “Clarence, I need a favor. I’m going to head out to the woods for the day. You think you can hold down the fort here at the clinic? Answer the phone, show folks in, handle anything minor. I’ll give you fifty dollars.”

    Clarence puffed up a little. “Doc, you can count on me.” So Doc Henderson grabbed his rifle and his thermos and headed out, and Clarence settled behind the front desk like a man born to the role.

    The next morning, Doc came back and found Clarence looking very pleased with himself.

    “Well, Clarence? How did things go?”

    “Smooth as silk, Doc,” Clarence said, leaning back in his chair. “Three patients total. First fellow came in complaining of a headache. I gave him a couple of Tylenol and a glass of water and sent him on his way.”

    “Good thinking,” Doc said. “Second patient?”

    “Lady with a stomachache. I found some Maalox in the cabinet, gave her a dose, and she felt better almost right away.”

    “Excellent,” said Doc. “And the third?”

    Clarence’s expression shifted just slightly. He cleared his throat.

    “Well,” he said, “I was out back having my afternoon cigarette when I heard the front door fly open. I came back inside and found a woman standing in the waiting room in quite a state — very agitated, very distressed.

    Before I could say a word, she had kicked off her shoes, thrown her coat over a chair, and stretched herself right out on the examination table. And she looked up at me and hollered, ‘Please help me — I haven’t seen a man in over two years!’”

    Doc Henderson stared. “Good lord, Clarence. What in the world did you do?”

    Clarence shrugged calmly. “Put drops in her eyes.”

  • The Hospital Visit and the Mother-in-Law

    A man went to the hospital to visit his mother-in-law, who was in serious condition…

    On the way back the wife, very worried, asks, “So, honey? How’s my mum doing?”

    He replies, “She looks great! She is in good health! She will still live for many years! Next week she will be released from the hospital and will come and live with us, forever!”

    “Wow that’s amazing!” says the wife. “But this is very strange, dear… yesterday she seemed to be on her deathbed, the doctors said she should have a few days to live!”

    “Well, I don’t know how she was yesterday,” he replied. “But today when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me that we should prepare for the worst.”
