Are polished with a morning haze."

Joke - Fishing...




Fishing

A man was stopped by a game warden, with two buckets
of fish, leaving a lake well known for its fishing. The game
warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch
those fish?"

The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are
my pet fish."

"Pet fish?!" said the warden.

"Yes, sir. Every night I take these fish down to the lake
and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they
jump back into their buckets, and I take 'em home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

The man looked at the game warden for a moment,
and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."

"Alright. I've GOT to see this!" the game warden replied.

The man poured the fish into the water and stood and
waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned
to the man and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" the man asked.

"When are you going to call them back?" the game
warden prompted.

"Call who back?" the man asked.

"The FISH."

"What fish?" the man asked.

Joke - A Million...

A Million


A man was praying to God. He said, "God!?"

God responded, "Yes?"

The guy said, "Can I ask a question?"

"Go right ahead," God answered.

"God, what is a million years to you?"

God said, "A million years to me is only a second."

"Hmmm," the man wondered. Then he asked, "God,
what is a million dollars worth to you?"

God said, "A million dollars to me is as a penny."

So the man said, "God, can I have a penny?"

And God cheerfully said, "Sure, in a second!"

Joke - Freezer Meals...


Freezer Meals


I have changed my system for labeling homemade freezer meals.
I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot
Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or
"Beef Pot Pie."

However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what
he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those
things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes.

If you look in my freezer now you'll see a whole new set of labels.
You'll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever",
"Anything", "I Don't Know", "I Don't Care", "Something Good", or
"Food". My frustration is now reduced because no matter what my
husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know
that it is there waiting.

Back-To-School Jokes...


Back-To-School Jokes



These were collected from Reader's Digest online.



At the school where my mother worked, the two first-grade
teachers were named Miss Paine and Mrs. Hacking. One
morning the mother of a student called in the middle of a
flu epidemic to excuse her daughter from school.

"Is she in Paine or Hacking?" the school secretary asked.

"She feels fine," said the confused mom. "We have company
and I'm keeping her home."

Teacher: Millie, give me a sentence starting with i.
Millie: I is ...
Teacher: No Millie. Always say, "I am."
Millie: Okay, I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.

*****

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 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."

*****

Danny was hard to miss at our school. A Civil War buff
who forever wore his Confederate overcoat, he was a friend
to all. When he was passed over during the vote for senior
superlatives, many of us were disappointed; surely there
must have been a category suitable for him.

The whole school was pleased, therefore, when the
yearbook adviser surprised us with an additional photo.
There was Danny, decked out in his gray coat, with the
caption: "Most Likely to Secede".

*****

Driving my car one afternoon, I rolled through a stop sign.
I was pulled over by a police officer, who recognized me as
his former English teacher.

"Mrs. Brown," he said, "those stop signs are periods, not
commas."

*****

I'm a high school geometry teacher and I started one lesson
on triangles by reading a theorem. "If an angle is an
exterior angle of a triangle, then its measure is greater than
the measure of either of its corresponding remote interior
angles."

I noticed that one student wasn't taking notes and asked
him why. "Well," he replied sincerely, "I'm waiting until you
start speaking English."

- submitted by Patricia Strickland

*****

While working in the library at a university, I was often
shocked by the excuses students would use to get out of
paying their fees for overdue books. One evening an older
student returned two books that were way overdue and
threw a fit over the "outrageous" $2 fee that I asked her to
pay. I tried to explain how much she owed for each day, but
she insisted she should be exempt. "You don't understand,"
she blurted out. "I didn't even read them!"

Joke - School Zone...



School Zone

An off-duty police officer, familiar with radar guns,
drove through a school zone within the legal speed limit
when the flash of a camera went off, taking a picture
of his license plate.
The officer, thinking the radar was in error, drove by
again; even more slowly. Another flash. He did it again
for a third time, at an even slower speed. Same result.

"This guy must have screwed up the settings,"
the off-duty officer thought.
A few weeks later, when he received the violations in
the mail, he discovered three traffic tickets: each for
not wearing a seat belt!

I Need Help

"
Doctor O'Hara," Ranjit pleaded, "I've got trouble. Every time I get
into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed,
I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You
gotta help me, I'm going crazy."

"Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the psychiatrist
Dr. O'Hara. "Come and see me three times a week and I'll cure your
fears."

"How much do you charge?"

"A hundred dollars per visit."
"In that case, I'll sleep on it," answered Ranjit.

Six months later the doctor met Ranjit in the street.

"Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist.

"For a hundred buck's a visit? A bartender cured me for ten dollars,"
smiled Ranjit.
"Is that so! How?"

"He told me to cut the legs off the bed."
