A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a
modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his
retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year began. The very
next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm,
came down his street, beating merrily on every trash-can they encountered. The
crashing percussion continued day after day until finally, the wise old man
decided it was time to take some action.
The
next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged
their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of
fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. In fact, I used to do
the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favour? I'll give you each
a dollar if you'll promise to come around every day and do your thing."
The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trash cans.
After
a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but this time he had a sad
smile on his face.
"This
recession's really putting a big dent in my income," he told them.
"From now on, I'll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans."
The
noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they did accept his offer and
continued their afternoon ruckus. A few days later, the wily retiree approached
them again as they drummed their way down the street.
"Look,"
he said, "I haven't received my Social Security check yet, so I'm not
going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?"
"A
lousy quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're going
to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter, you're nuts! No
way, mister. We quit!"
And
the old man enjoyed peace.
After dinner, one evening, George W. Bush was
entertaining his house guest by playing the piano.
At
one point he turned to the visitor, a fat conservative talk show host, and
said, "I understand you love music."
"Yes,"
murmured the guest politely. "But never you mind. Keep right on playing
..."
Why did the nurse need a red
pen at work?
In case she needed to draw blood!
A
guy is 86 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day
when he heard a voice say,
"Pick
me up."
He
looked around and couldn't see anyone. He thought he was dreaming when he heard
the voice say again,
"Pick
me up." He looked at the water and there, floating on the top was a frog.
The
man said, "Are you talking to me?"
The
frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up.
Then,
kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.
I'll
make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have
me as your bride."
The
man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully,
and placed it in his front breast pocket.
Then
the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said?
I
said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride."
He
opened his pocket, looked at the frog, and said,
"Nah,
at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."
A
middle-aged man goes into the doctor's clinic for a check-up with a litany of
complaints.
The
doctor speaks to the man's wife alone and says, "There is nothing that is
medically wrong with your husband. Make a couple of meals for him a day, let
him watch his sports. Do not complain at him too much and require him to
listen. Limit his exposure to in-laws and make love to him once a week. Then,
he'll probably live another 20 years."
She
returns to her husband's side in the waiting room. He asks, "What did the
doctor tell you?"
"You
are going to die real soon, my dear."
One
dismal rainy night in Sydney, a taxi driver spotted an arm waving from the
shadows of an alley. Even before he rolled to a stop at the curb, a figure
leaped into the cab and slammed the door.
Checking
his rearview mirror as he pulled away, he was startled to see a dripping wet,
naked woman sitting in the back seat.
'Where
to?' he stammered.
'Kings
Cross,' answered the woman.
"You
got it,' he said, taking another long glance in the mirror.
The
woman caught him staring at her and asked, 'Just what the hell are you looking
at, driver?'
'Well,
madam,' he answered, 'I was just wondering how you'll pay your fare.'
The
woman spread her legs, put her feet up on the front seat, smiled at the driver,
and said,
'Does
this answer your question?'
Still
looking in the mirror, the cabbie asked, 'Got anything smaller?'
What
did the drummer call his twin daughters?
-
Anna one, Anna two...
Ahmad
went to see a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "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 got
to help me, I'm going crazy!"
"Just
put yourself in my hands for two years," said the shrink. "Come to me
three times a week, and I'll cure your fears."
"How
much do you charge?"
"A
hundred ringgit per visit."
"I'll
sleep on it," said Ahmad.
Six
months later the doctor met Ahmad on the street.
"Why
didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist.
"For
a hundred ringgit a visit? A bartender cured me for just ten ringgit."
"Is
that so! How?"
"He
told me to cut the legs off the bed!"
