Jokes for today

June 30, 2007

Olaf & Sven were fishing one day when Sven
pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches,
he asked his friend Olaf for a light.
“Ya, shure, I tink I haff a lighter,” he replied.
Then reaching into his tackle box, he pulled out
a huge Bic lighter, 10 inches long.
“Yiminy Cricket!” exclaimed Sven, taking the
huge Bic lighter in his hand and lighting his cigar.
“Vere dit yew git dat monster lighter??”
“Vell,” replied Olaf, “I got it from my Genie.”
“You haff a Genie??” Sven asked.
“Ya, shure. He’s right dere in my tackle kit,”
says Olaf, motioning to his beat up old tin box.
“Could I see him?” Sven asks excitedly.
So Olaf opens his tackle box and sure enough,
out pops the Genie in a puff of blue smoke.
Addressing the Genie, Sven says, “Hey dere, Mr.
Genie! I’m bein’ a good friend of your master. Vill
you grant me vun vish?”
“Yes, I will,” says the Genie.
So Sven asks the Genie for a million bucks. The
Genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving
Sven sitting there, waiting for his million bucks.
Shortly, the sky darkens and is soon filled with
the sound of a million ducks flying overhead.
Over the roar of the million quacking ducks, a
very unhappy Sven yells over at Olaf.
“Yumpin’ Yimminy, Olaf ….I be askin’ for a million
bucks, not a million ducks!”
Olaf answers, “…..Ya sure, I forgot to tell yew dat
da Genie is bein’ hart of hearing. Do yew really tink I
be askin’ for a 10-inch BIC???”

The Tree Hugger
While walking through the Stone Mountain
State Park woods a man came upon another
man hugging a tree with his ear firmly against
the tree.
Seeing this he inquired, “Just out of curiosity,
what the heck are you doing?”
“Shh…. I’m listening to the music of the tree,”
the other man replied in a whisper.
“You gotta be kiddin’ me!!” said the first man.
“No, would you like to give it a try?” replied
the hugger of the tree.
Understandably curious about this never heard
of phenomenon, the man says, “Well, OK.”
He wrapped his arms around the large tree and
pressed his ear up against it. With this, the other
guy slapped a pair of handcuffs on him, took his
wallet, jewelry, and car keys then stripped him buck
naked and left.
Two hours later another “nature lover” strolled by,
saw this poor guy handcuffed to the tree stark naked,
and asked, “Dude!! What the hell happened to you?”
He told the guy the whole terrible story about how
he got there and how he was tricked and robbed of all
his clothes, money, and even his car!
When he finished telling his story, the other guy
shook his head in sympathy, walked around behind him,
kissed him gently behind the ear, and said,
“…..This just ain’t gonna be your day, Cupcake.”

FAMOUS PUBS OF SCOTLAND, ENGLAND AND IRELAND

“Y’ know, lads” said the Scotsman, “I still prreferr the pubs back home. In Glasgow therrre’s a wonderful bonny little barrr called McTavish’s. The landlorrd there goes out of his way for the local laddies, so much so that when you buy four drrinks, aye, he’ll buy the fifth drink for you.”

“Well, jolly good”, said the Englishman, “…but at my local, the Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your third drink after you buy the first TWO.”

“Ahhhhh, that bein’ nothin’, me buckos”, said the Irishman. “….Back home in me own Dublin, there’s Ryan’s Bar. Now, the moment ya be settin’ set foot in the place they’ll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks ya like!! Then, when ya be havin’ enough of the drinkin’, they’ll be takin’ ya upstairs and see that ya gets laid all good an’ proper. …And its bein’ all on the house!”

The Englishman and Scotsman immediately scorn the Irishman’s preposterous claims. But he swears every single word is true.
“Well then,” said the Englishman “….did this actually happen to YOU?”
“Not to me myself, personally, no,” said the Irishman, “… But it did happen to me own lovely 22-year old sister.”

This Car Wreck Phone Call in Texas…was played
on the air from a morning drive radio show in Texas

Turn the speakers on…..and get ready……If you
can’t listen to it now, save this until you have a time
when you can listen to it. It’s pretty danged funny
(…no, it’s hilarious!). There is no swearing or bad
language of any kind so it’s pretty safe to turn up.

A phone call from a man in Texas who witnessed a
car accident that involved 4 elderly women. It was so
popular when they played it on CHUM FM that they
had to put it on their website.

Profiles of valor

June 30, 2007

Serving with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, Staff Sgt. Anthony Viggiani was patrolling the mountainous region of the Zabol Province in Afghanistan when his squad came under intense fire from Taliban militants. The assault left two wounded Marines pinned behind a small rock. Worse, the terrain made it nearly impossible at first to see where the gunfire was coming from.

As Viggiani and a fellow Marine crept up the steep slopes, they encountered direct fire from a cave, where the militants had continued their assault against the two wounded Marines. With his entire squad pinned down by enemy fire, Viggiani was the only one left who could take out the militants. Moving into a better position, he saw movement within the cave and fired repeatedly, eventually taking out three insurgent fighters by tossing a grenade. The fight was not over, however. Although Viggiani was shot in the leg by enemy fire from another direction, he refused medical treatment and kept fighting while assisting other wounded Marines. In all, Viggiani and his squad eliminated 14 insurgents.

For his heroism that day, Viggiani was awarded the Navy Cross, the highest Marine honor. “If somebody does their job, brings the boys home alive and accomplishes the mission, that’s it to me,” he said. “All of my boys, I wouldn’t trade them for anything.”

And for a little Humor…
In other Marine news, former Marine Bill Barnes, 72, of Michigan displayed his true grit by taking out a 27-year-old pickpocket. When he felt a hand reaching for cash in his pocket, he grabbed the offending wrist and promptly landed six or seven punches. Barnes later quipped, “I wouldn’t want my wife to give me hell for lettin’ that guy get my money.” Ooohrah! Semper Fi!

Aren’t Older Women Great

June 17, 2007

After I’d been married 50 years, I took a look at my wife one day
and said

  “Honey, 50 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept
on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to
sleep every night with a hot 22 year old brunette.

  Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV,
but I’m sleeping with a 70 year old grandma. It seems to me that you
are not holding up your side of things.”

  My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find
a hot 22 year old brunette, and she would make sure that I would once
again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on
a sofa bed, and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

  Aren’t older women great?  They really know how to solve your
mid-life crisis…

A Nun’s Lunch

June 9, 2007

 A Nun’s Lunch.

An old nun who was living in a convent next to a Brooklyn construction
site took offense to the coarse language of the construction workers
and decided to spend some time with them to correct their vocabulary.

She decided she would take her lunch,
sit with the workers and talk with
them. She put her sandwich in a
brown bag and walked over to the spot
where the men were eating.

She walked up to the group and with
a big smile said: “Do you men know
Jesus Christ?”

They shook their heads and looked at each other.

One of the workers looked up into
the steel work and yelled “Anybody up
there know Jesus Christ?”

One of the steelworkers
yelled down a “Yea. Why”?

The worker yelled back
“His wife’s here with his lunch.”

Behavior Management

May 27, 2007

 school teacher injured his back and had to wear a thin plaster cast
              around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not
              noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under
              his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school.
              
              Walking confidently into the classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied
himself with desk work. The classroom became a bit unruly and he admonished them. This happened several times.
              
              While he worked at his desk, the strong breeze from the window made his tie flap annoyingly. He kept
rearranging and rearranging the tie as the
              class raised its level of unruliness.
              
              Finally, becoming disgusted with the wayward tie, he stood up and took a
              big stapler off his desk and stapled the tie to his chest in several places.
              
               Discipline was not a problem from that day forth.

Noah in 2007

May 27, 2007

In the year 2007, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, “Once again,
the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.

        Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans.”

        He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, “You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending
rain for 40 days and 40 nights.”

        Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard – but no Ark.

        “Noah!” He roared, “I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?”

        “Forgive me, Lord ,” begged Noah, “but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I’ve been arguing
with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I’ve violated the neighborhood
zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development
Appeal Board for a decision.

Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines
and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark’s move to the sea. I told them that the sea
would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

        Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted
owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls – but no go!

        When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.

        They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will . They argued the accommodation was too
restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

        Then the EPA ruled that I couldn’t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on
your proposed flood.

        I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I’m
supposed to hire for my building crew.

        Immigration and Naturalization is checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work.

        The trades unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building
experience.

        To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the country illegally
with endangered species.

        So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.”

        Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.  Noah looked
up in wonder and asked, “You mean you’re not going to destroy the world?”

        “No,” said the Lord. “The government beat me to it.”
