On the way back from a Cub Scout meeting, my grandson asked my son the question, 'Dad, I know that babies come from mommies' tummies, but how do they get there in the first place?'

After my son hemmed and hawed awhile, my grandson finally spoke up, 'You don't have to make something up, Dad. It's OK if you don't know the answer.'

I had to pop in and post this joke! It made it even nicer to hear since I'd been out driving so much this weekend!

.........

I had a flat tire on the interstate, so I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.

They look so life like you wouldn't believe it! They're in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to the approaching drivers. To my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy.

It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!

"What's going on here?"

"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.

"Well, what are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"

I couldn't believe that he didn't know.. So I told him.

Wait for it ...

"Helloooooo, those are my Emergency Flashers."

This one made me laugh...anyone who's ever had to pay for parking in a major city...Insert appropriate city name...

A man walks into a bank in downtown Toronto and asks the manager if he can get a loan for $5000. He gives a story about having to travel over-seas to visit his sick grandmother.
The bank Manager is hesitant, because the man is not a regular customer of the bank, but he explains that he has a Ferrari that he can leave as colateral.
All the paperwork checks out, the car is clearly his, and the manager agrees to lend the man the $5000, but explains that there will be interest on the loan. They shake hands, and the manager takes the keys and parks the car in the underground parking lot of the bank for safe-keeping.
Two weeks pass, and the Bank manager does some research and discovers that the man is actually a millionaire. He is confused.
When the man returns from his trip, he happily repays the loan and the interest which totals about $23.00.
The manager asks why he took the loan, and the man says
"Where else could I park for two weeks for $23, and be assured that my car will be fine?"

I need a good joke. Anybody got a good joke??

by DBCrazy on Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:16 am

Well, this isn't a joke, rather a story, but I recollected it today when I was talking with my sister.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table.

A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.

"How much is a dish of plain ice cream?" he inquired.

Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she said brusquely. The little boy again counted the coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away.

The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and departed.

When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies - her tip.

And one more--

The meaning of "secure a building" in different branches of the military:
If you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.
Air Force personnel would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

SCARE spray!!!

Why do vampires need mouthwash?

Hare Today and Plot Tomorrow:
Plot Bunny Purchase Agreement
By Valerie Comer and Erin Hartshorn
© 2006, Valerie Comer and Erin Hartshorn

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree to buy unsexed plot bunnies for a dime a dozen. I will provide shelter and forage for them, giving them every opportunity to reproduce. Odds are good that the plot bunnies will multiply like rabbits.

I realize that I cannot return them if they are not the color or breed I prefer. Further, with the generally prolific nature of the species, it is possible that someone else may have a plot bunny that looks substantially like, or even identical to, one of the ones I have purchased; I absolve the seller of all responsibility.

Bunnies are not domesticated creatures. They will bounce around, jumping from place to place until specifically rabbited into place, and even then will wriggle as much as possible. I fully acknowledge that this will be a hare-raising experience.

Chocolate-covered plot bunnies may appear enticing. I understand a large number are hollow with no real substance and may crumble under pressure. Editors have no particular fondness for chocolate bunnies as they may melt in the slush pile. If I insist on using these, I agree to absolve the seller of responsibility.

Occasionally, a plot bunny may become cannibalistic and eat other plot bunnies in its near vicinity rather than breeding with them. I understand that this will result in a larger plot bunny that may be more useful to me in the long run, and I hold the seller not responsible for any such actions on the part of the plot bunny. Further, I absolve the seller of all duress caused by the plot bunnies.

I realize that plot and dust bunnies are not interchangeable and such substitution will dilute the quality of the final work. Plot bunnies are guaranteed not to shed hare that will become dust bunnies under my computer. Any dust bunnies that do accumulate are my own responsibility.

When left to stew for indeterminate amounts of time, plot bunnies will change consistency. I understand they may become tender, oozing to fill every hole in my story, or they may shrivel and toughen, becoming totally useless. The number of plot bunnies added to the pot does not change the outcome; I accept all results of simmering plot bunnies.

Plot bunnies may be used to fill plot holes; I understand the bunnies may multiply too rabbitly to pave over without creating a bump in the road. They may also hare away, creating moving targets such that with each hole plugged, new ones appear.

Should my plot bunnies reproduce successfully, I agree to use them solely for the purposes of creating stories, rather than going into business selling plot bunnies myself. I will not compete with the seller, neither by selling nor by giving away any excess plot bunnies I may have. I agree not to sue for a refund when I realize the abundance of wild and free plot bunnies lurking just around the corner.

That all said, can I interest anyone in a dozen fresh bunnies? Very Happy

Cheap!

I got this one the other day in my email. Warning: Blonde Joke!

The Blind Cowboy

An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders some coffee.

After sitting there for a while, he yells to the waiter, 'Hey, You wanna hear a blonde joke?'

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says,

'Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.

5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

Now, think about it seriously Mister, Do you still wanna tell that joke?'

The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'Naw...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'
