Definition of a Good Marriage

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.

—Michel de Montaigne


An Old Woman’s Wishes

An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting on her long life. All of a sudden, a fairy godmother appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.

After taking a moment, the old lady begins, “I guess I would like to be very rich.” In a puff of smoke, her rocking chair turns to solid gold and she is surrounded by buckets of money.

“Oh… and I would like to be a young, beautiful princess.” Another puff of smoke and she turns into a beautiful young princess.

“What is your third wish?” asked the fairy godmother.

Just then the old woman’s cat wanders across the porch in front of them. “Ooh… my cat is my best friend. I really love him. Can you change him into a handsome prince?” she asks.

In a final puff of smoke, there before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine. She stares at him, smitten.

With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear,

“Bet you’re sorry you had me neutered.”

Penalty for Bigamy

Q. What is the penalty for bigamy?
A. Two mothers-in-law’s!


The Present

It was at the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.

The florist’s son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, “I bet I know what it is — some flowers.”
“That’s right” the boy said, “but how did you know?”
“Oh, just a wild guess,” she said.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said,
“I bet I can guess what it is — a box of sweets.”
“That’s right, but how did you know?” asked the girl.
“Oh, just a wild guess,” said the teacher.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and touched it to her tongue.
“Is it wine?” she asked.
“No” the boy replied.
The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to her tongue.
“Is it champagne?” she asked.
“No” the boy replied.
The teacher took one more taste before declaring,
“I give up, what is it?”
The boy replied, “A puppy!”


Still More Ways To Be Annoying

4. Inform others that they exist only in your imagination.
5. Ask people what gender they are.
6. Lick the filling out of all the Oreos, and place the cookie parts back.

8. Routinely handcuff yourself to furniture, informing the curious that you don’t want to fall off “in case the big one comes”.

11. Lie obviously about trivial things such as the time of day.
12. Leave your Christmas lights up and lit until September.

Sit in your front yard pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
14. Chew on pens that you’ve borrowed.
15. Wear a LOT of cologne.

24. Select the same song on the jukebox fifty times.
25. Never make eye contact.


This is your captain speaking

“This is Captain Sinclair speaking. On behalf of my crew I’d like to welcome you aboard British Airways flight 602 from New York to London. We are currently flying at a height of 35,000 feet midway across the Atlantic. If you look out of the windows on the starboard side of the aircraft, you will observe that both the starboard engines are on fire. If you look out of the windows on the port side, you will observe that the port wing has fallen off. If you look down towards the Atlantic ocean, you will see a little yellow life raft with three people in it waving at you. That’s me your captain, the co-pilot, and one of the air stewardesses. This is a recorded message.”
