All are asked the same question: "When you are in your casket and
friends and family are mourning upon you, what would you like to hear
them say about you?"

The first guy immediately responds, "I would like to hear them say that
I was one of the great doctors of my time and a great family man."

The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful
husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in our
children of tomorrow."

The last guy thinks a minute and replies, "I would like to hear them
say... LOOK, HE'S MOVING!"

Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down."

"What? Because he's cross-eyed?"

"No, because he's really heavy."

Joke - Wal-Mart Shopping...




Wal-Mart Shopping

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a
case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the wife.

“They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,” he replies.

“Put them back, we can't afford them,” demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in
the basket.

“What do you think you're doing?” asks the husband.

“It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,” replies the wife.

Her husband retorts, “So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.”

Moments later on the PA system: “Cleanup on aisle 25, we have a husband down.”

A Funny - God's Favorite Creature...




God's Favorite Creature

God's favorite creature must be the female bear.

If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep
for six months.

I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid.

I could deal with that, too. If you're a bear, you birth your children
(who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to
partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs.

I could definitely deal with that.

If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat
anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat
them too.

I could deal with that.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He
EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

Yup... I wanna be a bear.

Joke - Talking Dog...




Talking Dog

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scout. "This dog can speak English,"
he claims to the unimpressed agent.

The guys says to his dog, "What's on the top of a house?"

"Roof!" the dog replies.

"Oh, come on... " the talent agent responds, "all dogs go 'roof'."

"No, wait," the guy says. He asks the dog, "What does sandpaper feel like?"

"Rough!" the dog answers.

The talent agent gives a condescending stare. He is losing his patience.

"No, hang on," the guy says. "This one will amaze you." He turns and asks the dog,

Joke - Never Hire a Man to do a Woman's Job...




Never Hire a Man to Do a Woman's Job...

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard
to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can
even be considered for the position.

After sending some applicants through the background checks, training, and testing,
they narrowed the possible choices down to two men and a woman, but only one
position was available.

The day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely
secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large
metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your
instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room,
you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."

The man, with a shocked look on his face, said, "You can't be serious! I could
never shoot my own wife!"

"Well," said a CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then."

So they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know
that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained
to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun
and kill her."

The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the
room. All was quiet for about five minutes, then the door opened. The man came out
of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her. I just couldn't pull the
trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job."

"No," the CIA man replied. "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go
home!"

Now they're down to the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door
and hand her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no
matter what the circumstances. This is your final test. Inside you will find your
husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."

The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door was even closed,
the CIA heard the gun start firing, one shot after another, for 13 shots. Then
they heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several
minutes, then all went quiet. The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman...

She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was
loaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with the chair!"

Substitute Teacher

Walking through the hallways at the middle school where I work, I saw a new
substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against
a locker.

I heard him mutter, "How did you get yourself into this?"

Knowing that he was assigned to a difficult class, I tried to offer moral support.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "Can I help?"

He lifted his head and replied, "I'll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of
his locker."

Two guys are driving through Texas when they get pulled over by a state trooper.

The trooper walks up, taps on the window with his nightstick, the driver rolls down
the window, and the trooper smacks him in the head with the stick.

The driver asks, “Why’d you do that?"

The trooper answers, “You’re in Texas, son. When I pull you over, you’ll have your
license ready.”

The driver says, “I’m sorry, officer, I’m not from around here.”

The trooper runs a check on the guy’s license, and he’s clean.

He gives the guy his license back and walks around to the passenger side and taps
on the window. The passenger rolls his window down, and the trooper smacks him
with the nightstick.

Startled, the passenger asks, “What’d you do that for?”

The cop replies, “Just making your wishes come true.”

The passenger says, “Huh?”

me to."

"Aw come on boy," the farmer insisted.

"Well okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "but Pa won't like it."

A Funny - How to Prepare for a Puppy...

How to Prepare for a Puppy

Pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot
in the dark.

Wear a sock to work that has had its toes shredded by a blender.

Immediately upon waking, stand outside in the rain in the dark saying,
"Be a good puppy, go potty now - hurry up - come on, let's go!"

Cover all your best clothes with dog hair - for dark clothes you must use
white hair and for light clothes you must use dark.

Float some hair in your first cup of coffee in the morning. Also put some hair
in everything that you cook! And in the pots and pans in your cupboards!!

Run out in the snow/rain in your bare feet to close the gate.

Tip over a basket of clean laundry and scatter clothing all over the floor.

Leave your underwear on the living room floor because that's where the puppy
will drag it anyway... especially when company is coming.

Jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV program and run to
the door shouting "No, No! Do THAT OUTSIDE!" Miss the end of the program.

Put chocolate pudding on the carpet in the morning; don't try to clean it up until you
get home from work in the evening.

Gouge the leg of the dining room table several times with a screwdriver...
it's going to get chewed on anyway.

Have a backhoe come in and dig random giant holes in your yard.
Then go out in the early AM and step in a few. Try not to break anything.

Take a warm and cuddly blanket out of the dryer and immediately wrap it
around yourself. This is the feeling you will get when your puppy falls
asleep on your lap.

Joke - Trip to Rome...



Trip to Rome

A woman was at her hairdressers getting her hair styled for a trip to
Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser,
who responded:

"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.
You're crazy to go to Rome! So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"Continental?!" exclaimed the hairdresser. "That's a terrible airline!
Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always
late! So, where are you staying in Rome?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called
Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna
be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope!"

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser, "you and a million other people
trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this
lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman came in for another hairdo. The
hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

"It was wonderful!" explained the woman. "Not only were we on time in
one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they
bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I
had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot!"

"And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling
job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were
overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no
extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you
didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky because, as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss
Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to
meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private
room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me."

"Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and
shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really!? What'd he say?"

He said, "Who messed up your hair?"

Joke - Happily Married Couple...



Happily Married Couple


A married couple was celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.
They were famous in the city for not having a single conflict in all of
their 25 years of married life. Local newspaper editors had gathered
at the occasion to find out the secret of their well-known,
“happy marriage”.

An editor present said, “Sir, it's amazing! How did you make
this possible?”

The husband recalled an incident on his honeymoon saying, “We chose
to go horse-back riding. My horse was behaving well, but the horse on
which my wife was riding seemed to be a crazy one. While passing me,
her horse jumped suddenly, toppling her over. Recovering her position
from the ground, she patted the horse’s back and said, 'This is your
first time.'"

"She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a
while, it happened again. This time, too, she kept her calm and said,
'This is your second time.' and continued riding."

"When the horse dropped her the third time, she silently took out a
revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead!!"

"I shouted at my wife, 'What did you do, you psycho?! You killed the
poor animal! Are you crazy?!'"

"She gave me an evil look and said, 'This is your first time!!!'"

“That’s it. We have been happy ever since."
