(from Syman – This is My Story

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. So I'm not fat. I'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

(from Barbara Rosenberg - The Rebbetzin and the Butcher

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Rabbi died and his widow, the Rebbetzin, was so disconsolate that the people of the town decided that she ought to get married again. The town was so small that the only eligible bachelor was the town butcher.

The poor Rebbetzin was somewhat dismayed, because she had been wed to a scholar, and the butcher had no great formal education.

However, she was lonely, so she agreed, and they were married.

After the marriage, Friday came. She went to the Mikvah, the Jewish ritual bath to get rid of impurities.

Then she went home to prepare to light the candles.

The butcher leaned over to her and said, "My mother told me that after the Mikvah and before lighting the candles, it's good to have sex."

So they did.

She lit the candles.

He leaned over again and said, "My father told me that after lighting the candles it's good to have sex."

So they did.

They went to bed after saying their prayers. When they awoke he said to her, "My grandmother said that before you go to the synagogue, it's good to have sex."

So they did.

After praying all morning, they came home to rest; and again he whispers in her ear, "My grandfather says after praying it's good to have sex."

So they did.

On Sunday, she went out to shop for food and met a friend who asked, "So how is the new husband?"

She replied, "Well, he's no scholar, but he comes from a wonderful family."

(from Stan Kegel – Puns and Groaners

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PUNS

In order to become an electrician, you have to go through a battery of tests.

Did you hear about the blonde who waited on the street corner with a piece of bread to get some traffic jam.

Medical insurance is what allows people to be ill at ease!

Tailors have a measure of happiness because they are well suited to their jobs.

Every oven in the restaurant was broken. The patrons got a raw deal.

"I saw Pinocchio last night! No, not the movie, the real Pinocchio!"

"You're joking!?" "Nope, I wooden kid you!"

GROANERS

A police officer notices a car weaving in and out of traffic so he takes off after it. Pulling up along side of it, he notices a little old lady behind the wheel and she is knitting as she drives.

Completely flabbergasted, he yells for her to, "Pull over! Pull over!"

"No!" she shouts back, "It's' a scarf!"

The old west was full of cowboys who were good cow-ordinators. They had consider-a-bull talent, though sometimes they would stirrup trouble. Sometimes they took hay to bed in order to feed their night mares. One cowboy reached for his gun and drew a blank. Eventually they would go off to a rodeo to try and get a few bucks. (Mike Bull)

Working for a pediatrician calls for stifling a chuckle from time to time. When a frantic mother phoned to tell us her baby had a high temperature of 102, we had to know whether she was taking the reading under the arm, in the mouth or elsewhere. So we asked, "How are you taking it?" Her reply: "Oh, I'm holding up pretty well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(from Barbara Rosenberg – Babysitting Dad

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident.

Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.

My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.

Then she says, (as only a mother would know... :)

'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?'

(from Paul Keister – On the Oil Crisis

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the oil crisis

A lot of folks can't understand how we came
to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana
~~~
Kansas
~~~
Oklahoma
~~~
Pennsylvania
and
Texas
~~~
Our
DIPSTICKS
are located in
Washington, DC
Any Questions ???
NO? I didn't Think So.

(from Fred Silver - This Explains Why I Forward Jokes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."

The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?"

the traveler

asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There wa s no fence.

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."

"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump."

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.

"This is Heaven," he answered.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."

"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope.

That's hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."

Soooo ....

Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word.

Maybe this will explain.

When you ar e very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes.

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.

When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes.

Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?

A forwarded joke.

So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile. ;-)

You are all welcome at my water bowl anytime. :-)

(from Neil Stenlake – Logical vs Legal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", Danny goes and confronts his lecturer about it.

Danny: Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?

Professor: Surely I must, otherwise I would not be a professor! Danny: Great, well then I would like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam.

Professor: Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?

Danny: What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give Danny an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.

Still puzzled, the professor later calls on his best student in his class, Sihle, and asks him the same question.

Sihle immediately answers, "Sir, you see, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal nor logical."

The professor fainted.

Boudreaux left the bayou and moved to Arkansas where he bought him a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up and said 'I'm sorry, but I have some bad news. The donkey died last night.'

(from Barbara Rosenberg - 1955

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.


"Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?"


"Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature."


The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action."


"Yes, ma'am, a lot of action."


The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself."


The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?"

"1955, ma'am."


"Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955!"

She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him several times.

Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955!"

The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his serious voice, "I hope not; it's only 2130 now."

RIDDLES

What does a dentist do on a roller coaster?...

He braces himself

What kind of person steals soap?

A dirty crook

What do you get when you cross a rabbit with a spider?

A hare net. (Lederer & Ertner)

What do you get when you cross a rattlesnake with bread dough?

A snake that rattles and rolls. (Lederer & Ertner)

PUNS

A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."

Piano players know what bar they're in. (Mike Bull)

I called the plumber on the phone, "Can you come over and fix my kitchen sink again?" His encouraging reply, "You know I'm always at your disposal."

A dry cleaner was indicted for money laundering. A deal is being ironed out.

The chef at a family-run restaurant had broken her leg and came into our insurance office to file a disability claim. As I scanned the claim form, I did a double take. Under "Reason unable to work," she

wrote: "Can't stand to cook."

GROANERS

While making rounds, a doctor points out an X-ray to a group of medical students. "As you can see," she says, "the patient limps because his left fibula and tibia are radically arched. Michael, what would you do in a case like this?" "Well," ponders the student, "I suppose I'd limp too.

Constant nagging didn't seem to provide any relief from having to clean up the bathroom after each of my three teenage children. After I cleaned it one day, I resorted to posting a sign that read: "Please leave the bathroom as you found it." I noticed the bathroom was in the usual mess after my son used it, so I called, "Brian, how did you find the bathroom?" After a brief pause, he replied, "Straight down the hall, first door on the right."

It was during the war. A soldier was found lashed to the train tracks and his remains were spread widely when he was run over. The police with the assistance of the F. B. I. and Army intelligence rapidly investigated the incidence. A press conference was called and the police chief was asked if this were part of a foreign plot. "No," said the chief, ... "We believe there was a locomotive."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(from Dick Sziede – Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two bass players for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra were recently reprimanded for an embarrassing incident that occurred during a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

After the opening movement, the bassists have a long break before they play again in the final movement. These two particular bass players were tired of sitting through the whole performance twiddling their thumbs, so decided that they would sneak out the back door during middle of the performance and grab a drink at the bar across the street, returning in time for the final movement. Before the performance, they used pieces of twine to bind together the middle pages of their shared sheet music. This way, they could quietly leave right after the opening part was over, and when they returned, they would be able to pull the string and turn right to the last page.

The players timed it perfectly for the Thursday and Friday evening performances, their absences went unnoticed. Saturday, however, they ran into an old friend at the bar who bought several rounds of tequila shots. The bass players had gotten drunk and lost track of time. They suddenly realized that they were going to be late for their final part in the symphony. They were too drunk to get a hold of themselves, so they staggered back into the music hall, laughing and hiccuping loudly. The whole place fell silent, wondering what would happen... it was the bottom of the ninth, the score was tied, and the bassists were loaded …
