blind date

joe sets up his friend mike on a blind date with a young lady-friend of his. but mike is a little worried about going out with someone he’s never seen before. “what do i do if she’s really unattractive?” says mike. “i’ll be stuck with her all night.”

“don’t worry,” joe says, “just go up to her door and meet her first. if you like what you see, then everything goes as planned. if you don’t just shout ‘aaaaaauuuggghhh!’ and fake an asthma attack.”

so that night, mike knocks at the girl’s door and when she comes out he is awe-struck at how attractive and sexy she is. he’s about to speak when the girl suddenly shouts:

“aaaaaauuuggghhh!”


a scary visit

one bright, beautiful sunday morning, everyone in tiny smithville wakes up early and goes to their local church. before the service starts, the townspeople sit in their pews and talk about their lives, their families, etc.

suddenly, at the altar, satan appears!! everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in their determined efforts to get away from evil Incarnate.

soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sits calmly in his pew, seemingly oblivious to the fact that god’s ultimate enemy is in his presence. this confuses satan a bit.

satan walks up to the man and says, “hey, don’t you know who i am?”

the man says, “yep, i sure do.”

satan says, “well, aren’t you afraid of me?”

the man says, “nope, i sure ain’t.”

satan, perturbed, asks, “and why aren’t you afraid of me?”

“well, I’ve been married to your sister for 25 years.”


quick ones

the drill sergeant

one of my husband’s duties as a novice drill instructor at fort jackson, s.c., was to escort new recruits to the mess hall. after everyone had made it through the chow line, he sat them down and told them, “there are three rules in this mess hall: shut up! eat up! get up!”

checking to see that he had everyone’s attention, he asked, “what is the first rule?”

much to the amusement of the other instructors, 60 privates yelled in unison, “shut up, drill sergeant!”


quirks of life

i don’t understand these complaints about the postal service. time was, you could put a two-cent stamp on a letter and mail it, and it would arrive at its destination in two days. now you put a thirty-seven-cent stamp on a letter and it can take four to five weeks to arrive. still only a penny a day!

quirks about life you notice by the time you are fifty

..most people deserve each other.
..all the good ones, no matter what it is, are taken.
..the one who snores will fall asleep first.
..the length of a marriage is inversely proportional to the amount of money spent on the wedding.
..the gifts you buy your spouse are never as good as the gifts your neighbor buys their spouse.
..if you help a relative in need, he/she will remember you the next time they are in need.
..the probability of meeting someone you know increases greatly when you are out with someone you do not want to be seen with.
..toothaches always start on friday night right before the weekend when the dental office will be closed.

disaster

one afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his house.

his three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.

the door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house.

proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess.

a lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.

in the front room the tv was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.

in the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. he quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife.

he was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. he found her lounging in the bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. she looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. he looked at her bewildered and asked, “what happened here today?”

she again smiled and answered, “you know everyday when you come home from work and ask me what in the world did i do today?”

“yes,” was his incredulous reply.

she answered, “well, today i didn’t do it.”

“gosh!” exclaimed the young woman. “you certainly have a dangerous job. don’t you ever get bitten by the snakes?”

“yes, on rare occasions,” answered the handler.

“well,” she continued, “what do you do when you’re bitten by a snake?”

“i always carry a razor-sharp knife in my pocket, and as soon as i am bitten, i make cut across the fang entry and then suck the poison from the wound.”

“what, uh…what would happen if you were to accidentally sit on a rattler?” persisted the woman.

“ma’am,” answered the snake handler, “that will be the day I learn who my real friends are.”

“no, i stopped drinking years ago,” the bum said.

“will you use it to gamble?”

“i don’t gamble. i need everything i can get just to stay alive.”

“will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?”

“are you nuts! i haven’t played golf in 20 years!”

the man said, “well, i’m not going to give you two dollars. instead, i’m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”

the bum was astounded. “won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? i know i’m dirty, and i probably smell pretty bad.”

the man replied, “that’s ok. i just want her to see what a man looks like who’s given up drinking, gambling, and golf.”

college drama

a college drama group presented a play in which one character would stand on a trap door and announce, “i descend into hell!”

a stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would spring, and the actor would drop from view.

the play was well received. when the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. when the new actor announced, “i descend into hell!” the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. no amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend.

one student in the balcony jumped up and yelled: “hallelujah! hell is full!”


have a great week ahead!!!

who’s faster

jesus and satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on the computer. they had been going at it for days, and frankly god was tired of hearing all the bickering. finally fed up, god said,”that’s it! i have had enough. i am going to give you a test that will run for two hours, and from the results, i will judge who does the better job.”

so satan and jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. they moused. they faxed. they e-mailed. they e-mailed with attachments. they downloaded. they did spreadsheets. they wrote reports. they created labels and cards. they created charts and graphs. they did some genealogy reports. they did every job known to man.

jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and satan was faster than hell.

then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.

satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. jesus just sighed.

finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

satan started searching frantically, screaming:

it’s gone! it’s all gone!! i lost everything when the power went out!”

meanwhile, jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work. satan observed this and became irate. wait!” he screamed. “that’s not fair! he cheated! how come he has all his work and I don’t have any?”

god just shrugged and said,

“jesus saves … “
