Two In The Same Grave

A little boy was in a cemetery with his mother,

“Mommy” the boy asked , “do they ever bury two people in the same grave?”

 

“Of course not, dear.” replied the mother, “Why would you think that?”

 

“The tombstone back there said, Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.”

The Accident

Sam called his wife and said to her in a weak voice, "Hey baby, I was driving to a coffee shop to meet Mary when all of a sudden, a stray dog came in the way. I tried to steer left to avoid running it down, but the car skidded due to high speed, rolled over and almost ran off the cliff. The car was hanging nose down over the cliff, as I looked down fearing impending death. I just managed to climb out of the car and save my life, just before the car fell over the cliff crashing thousands of feet below and was blown into smithereens."

Sam continued, "I was taken to a hospital. I have a broken leg, broken jaw, dislocated shoulder and several injuries on my head."

There was silence on the phone, then the wife asked, "Who is Mary?"

A Handsome Tip

 

A man takes his place in the theater, but his seat is too far from the stage.

 

He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and I have to watch a mystery close up. Get me a better seat, and I'll give you a handsome tip."

 

The usher moves him into the second row, and the man hands the usher a quarter. Yep. 25 cents.

 

The usher looks at the quarter in his hand, leans over and whispers, "The wife did it."

Sound Reasoning

As a 7th grade biology teacher, I was teaching my class about the flow of blood in the body.

 

After my lecture I asked the class the following: “Why is it that if I would turn upside down, my face would turn red since the blood would flow to my head, but when I stand upright my feet don’t turn red?”

 

I was taken aback when a boy blurted out, “that’s cuz your feet ain't empty!”

Getting Pulled Over

Rushing to work, I was driving too fast and as a result was pulled over by the highway patrol. The state trooper noticed that my shirt had the name of a local high school on it. "I teach math there," I explained.

 

The trooper smiled, and said, "Okay, here's a problem. A teacher is speeding down the highway at 16 m.p.h. over the limit. At $12 for every mile, plus $40 court costs, plus the rise in her insurance, what's her total cost?"

 

I replied, "Taking that total, subtracting the low salary I receive, multiplying by the number of kids who hate math, then adding to that the fact that none of us would be anywhere without teachers, I'd say zero."

 

He handed me back my license. "Math was never my favorite subject," he admitted. "Please slow down."

To Enter Heaven

Three men die in a car accident on Christmas Eve. They all find themselves at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter heaven. On entering they must present something relating to or associated with Christmas. 

 

The first man searches his pocket, and finds some mistletoe, so he is allowed in. 

 

The second man presents a cracker, so he is also allowed in. 

 

The third man pulls out a pair of stockings. 

 

Confused at this last gesture, St Peter asks, ‘How do these represent Christmas?' 

The man says ‘They're Carol's.'

It'll Cost You


A customer was really hassling an airline agent at the ticket counter — yelling and using foul language. However, the agent was polite, pleasant and smiled while the customer continued to abuse her.

When the man finally left, the next person in line said to the agent, “Does that happen often? I can’t believe how nice you were to him.”

The agent smiled and said, “No problem, I took care of it. He’s going to Detroit. His bags are going to Bangkok.”

The Theory

"Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and Scientists can never earn as much as Business Executives and Sales People."

 

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

1. Knowledge is Power.
2. Time is Money.

 

As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time

 

Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money

 

It follows that:
Knowledge = Work/Money.

 

Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge.

 

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

 

Conclusion:
The less you know, the more you make.

Bedtime Prayers

When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).

 

For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, "And all girls." This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing.

 

My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?"

 

"Because everybody always finishes their prayers by saying 'All Men!'"

Class Picture

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 

 

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'" 

 

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'"

A Good Woman


A husband and wife had a human cannonball act in the circus.

One day the wife ran off with the lion tamer, leaving the husband extremely dejected.

Crooks

"How come"? asked the woman.

 

"Crooks don't buy peat moss," answered the clerk.

Ron's Revenge

Ron just got a new sports car and was out for a drive when he cut off a truck driver. The trucker motioned for Ron to pull over.

 

When he did, the driver got out of his truck and pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket. He drew a circle on the road and told Ron to stand in the circle and not move.

 

He then went to Ron's new car and cut up the leather seats.

 

When the truck driver turned around Ron had a slight grin on his face.

 

"Oh, you think that's funny?" the trucker asked, "Watch this." He got a baseball bat out of his truck and broke every window in the car. When he turned and looked Ron had a smile on his face. This drove the driver into a rage.

 

He got his knife back out and sliced all the tires. Now Ron was laughing. The truck driver really started to lose it. He went back to his truck and got a can of gas, poured it on the sports car and set it on fire. He turned around and Ron was laughing so hard he almost fell down.

 

"What's so funny?" The truck driver asked him.

 

Ron replied, "When you weren't looking, I stepped outside the circle four times."

“Every night she places a burnt offering before me.”

Good Luck Tutu

 

All but two of the ballerinas were in costume early for the matinee performance. At 1:55, the distressed director asked the remaining women why they weren't dressed yet.

The first one said, "It may seem like a silly superstition, but I never put mine on until 1:58."

 

"What about you? The same thing?" he asked the other dancer.

 

"Oh, yes. I have a two to two tutu, too!"

The Prescription  

Jane walked into a pharmacy, strolled over to the counter, and caught the pharmacist's attention.

"Can I please get some arsenic?" she asked.

 

"Arsenic? What do you want arsenic for?" asked the pharmacist.

 

"It's for my husband," she replied.

 

"Your husband?" exclaimed the pharmacist, "I hope you don't mean what I think you mean!"

 

She just nodded.

 

"Well, lady," he replied, "I'm an honest man. I can't sell you arsenic, I wouldn't if I could, and I don't know what made you think you could just stroll into a respectable store and expect me me to sell you arsenic.!"

 

She didn't say a word. She just reached into her purse, fished out a photograph, and handed it across the counter. It was a picture of her husband, in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

 

Slowly the pharmacist looks up, over the counter, and then straight at her. "Lady," he said, "why didn't you tell me you had a prescription?"

Sons in College

 

Two men sank into adjacent train seats after a long day in the city. One asked the other, "Your son go back to college yet"?

"Two days ago."

 

"Hmm. Mine's a senior this year, so it's almost over. In May, he'll be an engineer."

 

"What's your boy going to be when he gets out of college"?

 

"At the rate he's going, I'd say he'll be about thirty."

 

"No, I mean what's he taking in college"?

 

"He's taking every penny I make."

 

"Doesn't he burn the midnight oil enough"?

 

"He doesn't get in early enough to burn the midnight oil."

 

"Well, has sending him to college done anything at all"?

 

"Sure has! It's totally cured his mother of bragging about him!"

A Texan and An Australian

A very loud Texan Engineer was visiting Australia, and talking big about all of the large civil works in the USA that he was involved in. To be polite his Australian counterpart took him on a tour of some of Sydney’s larger constructions.

First he took him to Gladesville Bridge. The Texan exclaimed, "What’s that!” 

 

In reply the Australian said, "Thats the Gladesville Bridge."

 

"Hmmph" said the Texan, "How long and how many men did it take to build?” 

 

The Australian replied, "About 5 years with 1000 men."

The Texan replied, "Well in Texas we would've done it in 2 years with 500 men."

Next they went to the Sydney Opera House. "What's that" said the Texan. 

 

"That's the Sydney Opera House" was the reply.

"Hmmph" said the Texan, "How long and how many men did it take to build?”

The Australian replied, "About 10 years with 200 men".

The Texan replied "Well in Texas we would've done it in 4 years with 200 men."

By this stage the Australian was a little put out by the Texan's attitude so he decided to get some revenge, they walked around the Sydney Opera House and as they did the Sydney Harbor Bridge came into view.

Immediately the Texan exclaimed, "Wow! What's that?"

The Australian Engineer replied, "I don't know, it wasn't there yesterday."

The Fish

A man was stopped by the fish and game-warden in Alberta recently. He had with him two buckets of fish. He was leaving Shaw's Point on Slave Lake, well known for its great fishing.

The fish and game warden asked the man: 'Do you have a license to catch all those fish?'

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

 

'Pet fish?' the warden replied.

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

'That's a bunch of hogwash! Fish can't do that!' was the outburst from the Warden.

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

'O.K. I've GOT to see this!' The game warden was curious now. The man poured the two buckets of fish into the lake and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, 'Well?'

'Well, what?' the man responded.

'When are you going to call them back?' The game warden prompted.

'Call who back?' The man asked.

'The FISH.' the warden said.

'What fish?' The man asked.

A Few White Hairs

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast to her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"

 

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

 

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

The University Bank

There was a university in New England where the students operated a "bank" of term papers and other assignments.

 

There were papers to suit all needs and as it would look odd if an undistinguished student suddenly handed in a brilliant essay, there were papers for an A grade, B grade and C grade.

 

A student who had spent the weekend on pursuits other than his assignment, went to the "bank" and as his course was a standard one he took out a paper for an inconspicuous C, retyped it and handed the work in.

 

In due course he received it back with the professor's comments "I wrote this paper myself twenty years ago. I always thought it should have had an A, and now I am glad to give it one!"

The Printer

When a guy's printer began to malfunction, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned.

Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job himself.

Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked, "Does your boss know that you discourage business?"

"Actually, it's my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly.

"We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first."
