  • A Quiet Night in the Parking Spot

    A cop was patrolling at night in a well known area for “parking.” He saw a couple in a car, with the interior light on. He got closer to the car and saw a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine and a young woman on the rear seat, knitting.

    Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walked over to the car and knocked on the window.

    “Yes, officer?”

    “What are you doing?”

    “Well, isn’t it obvious? I’m reading a magazine.”

    Pointing to the young woman, the cop asked, “And her, what is she doing?”

    The young man shrugged, “I believe she’s knitting a pullover.”

    The cop was totally confused. A young couple alone in a car at night and nothing obscene is happening!

    “What’s your age, young man?”

    “I’m 22, sir.”

    “And her, what’s her age?”

    The young man looks at his watch and said, “She’ll be 18 in 20 minutes.”

  • You Were Starting to Sound Like My Ex-Wife

    Tom finally decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend.

    One evening, after the honeymoon, he was welding some stuff in the garage just for fun. His new wife was standing there at the bench watching him.

    After a long period of silence she finally spoke, “Honey, I’ve just been thinking, now that we are married maybe it’s time you quit spending all your time out here in the shop. You probably should just consider selling all your welders along with your gun collection, golf clubs, and that stupid vintage Harley.”

    Tom got a horrified look on his face.

    She said, “Darling, what’s wrong?”

    He replied, “There for a minute you were starting to sound like my ex-wife.”

    “Ex-wife!” she screamed, “YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!”

    Tom replied, “I wasn’t.”

  • Take on an Empty Stomach

    Doctor: “Have you been taking the medicine I prescribed you last month?”

  • Id Like to Be Eight Again

    A man was sitting on the side of the bed watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked her what she would like as a gift.

    “I’d like to be eight again,” she said, still looking in the mirror.

    On the morning of her birthday, he rose early, made her a bowl of Frosted Flakes, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park… the death slide, the wall of fear, the screaming roller coaster… just to name a few.

    Five hours later, they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling, and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to McDonald’s where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate milkshake.

    Then it was off to a movie with popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M’s! What a fabulous adventure!

    Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and fell into bed, exhausted.

    He leaned over his wife with a big smile, “What was it like to be eight again?”

    She opened her eyes, and her expression suddenly changed.

    “I meant my dress size, you idiot!”

    Moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he’s going to get it wrong.

  • Put Me Down for a Five

    “Yes, yes, I did.”

    The woman begins to sob, drops the club, and puts her hands on her face.

    “How many times did you hit him?”

    “I don’t know — put me down for a five.”
