"The New Bicycle"

I was in a customer's home one afternoon and
while I was talking to the customer, their 4 year
old little girl whose name was Michelle, tugged
on my pants leg and excitedly exclaimed, "I got
a new bicycle, do you want to see it?"

I said, "Sure Michelle."

So off to the backyard we went. Upon getting into
the backyard, I saw a brand new girl's bicycle.
"Boy, Michelle!! That's a beautiful bicycle."
I complimented. "Can you ride it?"

"Yeah, I can ride it," she said, then with a sad face
he pouted, "but it's broke."

I looked at the new bicycle and couldn't see anything
wrong with it, so I asked her, "What's wrong with it?"

"I don't know," she shrugged, "but every time I ride it,
it falls down!"

"Tough Cowboy"

A tough old cowboy from Amarillo, Texas, counseled
his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the
secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on his
oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously to the age of 103.

When he died he left 14 children, 30 grandchildren,
45 great grand-children, 25 great-great grandchildren,
... and a 15 foot hole where the crematorium used to be.

Two Jews were discussing great Jews in history.

Well, i think the greatest Jew who evet lived was Moses.

Moses was a fool.

How can you say that? He was a great leader.

He was a schmuck.

What's got into you. Look, he led the People of Israel out of the Land of Egypt, thru the desert in 40 years - a great feat with no public transport, and led them to the Promised Land. What more do you want?!!???!??

Aaaaah yes, but that's where he went wrong. He turned left. And we got the oranges. If he'd have turned right, we'd have got the oil.

"Sun vs Shade"


The pastor's sermon focused on how God knows
which of us grows best in the sunlight and which
of us needs shade.

"For example," he said, "roses must be planted
in the sun, but fuchsias thrive in the shade."

After the service, a woman, her face beaming,
approached him.

"Your sermon did me so much good," she said.

Before he had time to gloat too much, however,
she added, "I always wondered what was wrong
with my fuchsias."

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said "Lets talk. I've heard that flights go
quicker if you strike up conversation with your fellow passenger".
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about"?
Oh, i don't know, said the stranger. "How about nuclear power"?
"OK" she said. "That would be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat grass, the same stuff.
Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you think that is?"
The stranger thinks about it and says "Hmmm, i have no idea".
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

Ring - Ring
'Hello ?'
'Hi honey.
This is Daddy.
Is Mommy near the phone?'
'No Daddy.
She's upstairs in the bedroom
with Uncle Paul.'
After a brief pause,
Daddy says,
'But honey,

'Oh yes I do,
and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now.'
Brief Pause.
'Uh, okay then,

Put the phone down on the table,
run upstairs
and knock on the bedroom door
and shout to Mommy
that Daddy's car
just pulled into the driveway.'
'Okay Daddy,

A few minutes later
the little girl comes back to the phone.
'I did it Daddy.'
'And what happened honey?'
'Well, Mommy got all scared,
jumped out of bed
with no clothes on
and ran around screaming.
Then she tripped over the rug,
hit her head on the dresser
and now she isn't moving at all!'
'Oh my God!!!
What about your Uncle Paul?'
'He jumped out of the bed
with no clothes on, too.
He was all scared
and he jumped out of the back window
and into the swimming pool.
But I guess he didn't know
that you took out the water
last week to clean it.
He hit the bottom of the pool
and I think he's dead.'

A husband walks into Victoria's Secret to purchase a sheer negligee for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500   in price -- the sheerer, the higher the price. Naturally, he opts for the sheerest item, pays the $500, and takes it home.   He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on, and model it for him.
      
Upstairs, his wife, who is no dummy, 'I have an idea. It's so sheer that it might as well be nothing. I won't put it on, but I'll do the modeling naked, return it tomorrow, and keep the $500 refund for myself.'
      
She appears naked on the balcony and strikes a pose. The husband says, 'Good Grief! You'd think for $500, they'd at least iron it!'
      
He never heard the shot.

but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second
blanket? I'm awfully cold."

A magician had a gig on a cruise ship. Toward the end of his first night's performance, a parrot which was kept in a cage in one corner of the room called out, "Awwwk! The watch is in his pocket!" Of course it was and, his big finish ruined, the magician could only glare at the parrot and limp through the rest of the show.

The next night, the magician did an entirely new routine and, again, as he was getting near the end the parrot called out, "Awwwk! The Ace of Spades is up his sleeve!" Again the parrot was right and the magician became increasingly flustered, barely making it to the end of his performance.

The third night, the magician put together a routine of his best tricks, determined to fool the parrot. He was getting near the end of his act when the ship suddenly hit an uncharted reef and began to sink rapidly. Everyone scrambled to get off the ship and into lifeboats and, wouldn't you know it, someone rescued the parrot and it wound up in the same lifeboat as the magician.

For three days the lifeboat floated on the ocean, with the parrot giving the magician the fishy eye the whole time. Finally, the parrot said to the magician, "Awwwk! Okay, I give up. What did you do with the ship?"

Children's Bible in a Nutshell

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one,' but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.   

He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in, though, because they didn't have cars.      

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.   
   
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
      
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph, who wore a really loud sports coat.      

Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston.

Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then He gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff. Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
      
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua, who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.   
   
After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon, who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me. After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.   
   
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of the New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn? It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.') During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
      
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
   
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

Here's one a male friend sent me:

Dave was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune.

One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die,and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."

One day the zoo-keeper noticed that the orangutan was reading two books - the Bible and Darwin's Origin of Species.

Surprised, he asked the ape, "Why are you reading both those books?"

"Well," said the orangutan, "I just wanted to know if I was my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother."

A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six year old daughter and said "Would you like to say the blessing?" I would not know what to say," replied the girl.

"Just say what you hear Mummy say." the wife answered.

The daughter bowed her head and said "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner."





After the christening of his baby brother in church Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong.

Finally the boy replied "The preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home and I wanted to stay with you guys."

The Prime Minister requests that he be allowed to begin with a story. Arafat replies, "Of course."

The Prime Minister begins his story: "Years before the Israelites came to the Promised Land and settled here, Moses led them for 40 years through the desert. The Israelites began complaining that they were thirsty and, lo and behold, a miracle occurred and a stream appeared before them. They drank their fill and then decided to take advantage of the stream to do some bathing--including Moses. When Moses came out of the water, he found that all his clothing was missing.

"'Who took my clothes?' Moses asked those around him.

"'It was the Palestinians,' replied the Israelites -- "

"Wait a minute," objected Arafat immediately, "there were no Palestinians during the time of Moses!"

"All right," replies the Prime Minister, "Now that we've got that settled, let's begin our negotiations."

"Tickled to Death"

An influential Londoner wound up a business trip
to the Orient with a visit to Taipei. At a luncheon he
was asked to say a few words. Since he spoke
not a word of Chinese, his address was to be
translated by an interpreter sentence by sentence.

"I want you to know," he began, "I'm tickled to
death to be asked here today."

A look of panicked confusion appeared on the
interpreter's face. "This poor man," he said in
Chinese, "Scratches himself until he dies,
only to be with you today."

He walks in   . . .

She turns and says, 'You must make love to me -- this very moment.'

His eyes light up and he thinks, 'This is my lucky day.' Wanting to keep the momentum, he bends her over the kitchen table and has his way with her.

Afterwards she says, 'Thanks,' and returns to the stove.

Totally confused, he asks, 'What was that all about?'

She explains, 'The egg timer's broken.'

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man
opposite her was smiling at her.

She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
The man seemed more amused.

When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to
the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.

The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are Comin'
and I grinned."

"Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will
reduce the swelling', and I had to smile.

"Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's
Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself."

"BUT, your Honor, when She moved the fourth time and sat under a sign
that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident'... I just lost it."

"CASE DISMISSED!!"

A few excerpts from the cat's diary:

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded. Must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair.....must try this on their bed.

DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep-depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was... Hmmm. Not working according to plan

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The Dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue. (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time.

"Triple Hit"

Waiting for our aerobics class to begin, several
of us were standing around in our leotards
chatting about fitness and diets. One woman
said that her brother-in-law had quit smoking,
gone on a diet and lost weight all at the same
time.

Thinking to myself that no human being could
possibly do this without acquiring at least one
other undesirable habit for compensation, I
jokingly asked her, "What did he start doing
instead of these things?"

After a slight pause, she smiled and said, "Well,
my sister is pregnant now."

A father walks into a market with his young son. The boy is holding a quarter. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the quarter and starts panicking, shouting for help.

A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit, is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading her newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper, places it on the counter, gets up from her seat, and makes her way, unhurried, across the market.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants, takes hold of the boy's testicles, and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first, and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the quarter, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand.

Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the coin to the father, and walks back to her seat in the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her, saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?"

"No," the woman replied, "Divorce Attorney."

The therapist replied,"Kiss you? I shouldn't even be on this couch with you."




The analysts were walking along the street, when another analyst walks past them saying,"Good morning."

Once he's gone, one analyst says to the other,

"What do you think he meant by that?"

"Tired Dog"

An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard.
I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that
he had a home.

He followed me into the house, down the hall,
and fell asleep in a corner.

An hour later he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, resumed his position
in the hall, and slept for an hour. This continued
for several weeks.

Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon
your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day the dog arrived with a different note pinned
to his collar:

"He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to
catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"
