    A tour bus driver drives with a bus full of seniors down a highway, when a little old lady taps him on his shoulder. She offers him a handful of almonds, which he gratefully munches up.

    After approx.15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of almonds. She repeats this gesture about eight times.

    At the ninth time he asks the little old lady why they don't eat the almonds themselves, whereupon she replies that it is not possible because of their old teeth, they are not able to chew them.

    "Why do you buy them then?" he asks puzzled. Whereupon the old lady Answers, "We just love the chocolate around them."

    Although he always ordered just ham and eggs everyday, one customer at
    the diner always studied the menu carefully each day before ordering.

    One day his regular waitress decided to see if he could be made to
    order anything else. Before giving him the menu she marked out the ham
    and eggs entry.

    After waiting a few minutes she asked, "Did you notice, sir, that I
    scratched something that you like?"

    Without looking up from the menu, he replied, "Well then, go wash your
    hands and bring me some ham and eggs."

    A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her
    tomatoes to turn red. One day while taking a stroll she came upon a
    gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red
    tomatoes.

    The woman asked the man, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?"

    The neighbor responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my
    tomato garden and expose myself, and my tomatoes turn red from blushing
    so much."

    Well, the woman was so impressed; she decided to try doing the same
    thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for
    two weeks she exposed herself to her garden hoping for the best.

    One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way,
    how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?"

    "No," she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous."

    A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and
    asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"

    She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of
    the property with a stream running by."

    "No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

    "It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.

    "I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

    "I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's
    parents."

    He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

    "No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really
    needed one."

    "Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

    "Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily
    like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."

    "Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

    "Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I
    do."

    Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a
    divorce?"

    "Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a
    divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me

    Why We Love Children

    1. A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he'd found a cat, but it was dead.
    "How do you know that the cat was dead?" she asked her pupil.
    "Because I pissed in its ear and it didn't move," answered the child innocently.
    "You did WHAT?!?" the teacher exclaimed in surprise.
    "You know, explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'Pssst!' and it didn't move."

    2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later....."Da-ad"
    "What?"
    "I'm thirsty. Can you bring drink of water?"
    "No, You had your chance. Lights out."
    Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad.."
    "WHAT?"
    "I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??"
    I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!!"
    Five minutes later.. "Daaaa-aaaad....."
    "WHAT!"
    "When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?"

    3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him "How do you expect to get into Heaven?"
    The boy thought it over and said, "Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!'

    4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room."
    A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: "The big sissy."

    5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, "That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?"
    The little girl replied, directly into the pastor's clip-on microphone, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a bitch to iron."

    6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!"
    I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy."
    "I know," she replied, but what's growing in your butt?"

    7. A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine...."
    His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?"
    The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom."
    "And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked.
    "Yes," he answered.
    Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?"
    The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition."
    The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?"
    After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.

    8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
    The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?"
    One little girl raised her hand and said, "I think he said: 'Holy Sh*t! A talking chicken!'"
    The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

    9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter." Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, "I'm Jane Sugarbrown."
    The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, "Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?"
    She replied, "I thought I was, but mother says I'm not."

    10. A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?" Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough."
    The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"

    11. A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake
    The barber says to her, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your Twinkie." She says, "Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get some boobs too."

    Did you hear the one about the ................
    Penis Surgery

    A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness.
    Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything; however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it."

    The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9,000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology
    to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap.
    It's roughly $1,000 an inch."
    The man perks up.

    So, the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want.
    But understand that you have been married for over thirty years
    and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a
    five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out.

    If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five
    incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision."

    The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.
    The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?"
    "Yes I have," says the man.
    "And has she helped you make a decision?"
    "Yes," says the man."
    "What is your decision?" asks the doctor.


    "We're getting granite counter tops."

    "Parlare Italiano?" No response.

    "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing.

    The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted.

    The first American turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."

    Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under my bed at night.

    So I went to a shrink and told him: “I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.”

    "Just put yourself in my hands for one year," said the shrink. "Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”

    “How much do you charge?”

    “One hundred and fifty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.

    “I'll sleep on it,” I said.

    Six months later the doctor met me on the street.

    “Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?” He asked.

    “Well, $150 a visit, three times a week for a year, is $23,400.00. A bartender cured me for $10.00. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought a new pickup truck.”

    “Is that so?” With a bit of an attitude he said, “and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”

    “He told me to cut the legs off the bed. There's no-one under there now.”

    It's always better to get a second opinion!.

    She said she would like to come back as a cow.

    I said "You're obviously not listening."

    The wife has been missing a week now.

    Police said to prepare for the worst…

    So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

    Hi all

    Sorry if I seemed curt in my post. Mim, I thought you lived outside the U.S. and saw things differently.

    The prolonged divisiveness during the campaign and then Election Day results were wearing.

    Ol Don keep those jokes coming. We all need some laughs.

    Thanks all.

    Hey Wolf.....

    What a great summary of where America is right now.

    I'm copying it to send to some of my friends. I'm thinking that you purposely put
    it on the "Let's have some humor page" ......It actually is kind of humorous.
    My son, who lives in Singapore, tells me that in that country they are all having
    a good time laughing at us.

    Also. Wolf...... Thanks for the tip, on the computer skills page.
    .

    Finally Wolf has written something that I can understand and relate to! Thanks!

    This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator.
    What is the smallest caliber that you would trust to protect yourself?
    A Beretta Jetfire testimonial. Here is her story in her own words:
    "While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband, discussing property settlements and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12 foot alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive.
    “If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took. The 'gator got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.
    It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus the amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible."
    "His insurance was the big bonus. I’m comfortable now."

    Once there was a young boy that lived in the country. They had to use an outhouse, the little boy hated it because it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter and stunk all the time.
    The outhouse was sitting on the bank of the river and the boy determined that one day he would push that outhouse in the water.
    One day after a spring rain, the river was swollen so the little boy decided today was the day to push the outhouse in, So he got a large pole and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled in and floated away.
    That night his dad told him they were going to the woodshed after supper. Knowing that meant a spanking, the boy asked why.
    The dad replied, "Someone pushed the outhouse into the river today. It was you, wasn't it son?"

    The boy answered yes. Then he thought a moment and said, "Dad, I read in school that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and didn't get into trouble because he told the truth."
    The dad replied, "Son, George Washington's father wasn't in the cherry tree."

    This is what all of us: 70+, other seniors, and kids (south of 60) have to look forward to!! This is something that happened at an assisted living center.


    The people who lived there have small apartments but they all eat at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for breakfast so my wife went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly so she went back to the dining area.

    An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up towards his room and she found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was having a hell of time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have trouble getting his legs to work right. She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast.

    When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up even the first step so they called an ambulance for him. A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing.

    The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one leg of his boxer shorts.

    For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman. One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.

    Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he promised that he would pay her a large sum of money if she would return to Italy to secretly have the child.

    Furthermore, if she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.

    She agreed, but she asked how he would know when the baby was born.

    To keep it discreet, he advised her to simply mail him a post card, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for the child support payments to begin.

    One day, about nine months later, he came home to his confused wife.

    Honey, she said, "You received a very strange postcard today."

    "Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later," he replied.

    The wife obeyed, and watched her husband as he read the card. He turned white and fainted.

    On the card was written:

    "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Three with meatballs. Two without."

    Some funny ones to put a smile on your face, then it was worth sending to you Happy Holidays !

    Just read that 4,153,237 people got married last year, not to cause any trouble but shouldn't that be an even number?


    Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.

    I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

    If i had a dollar for every girl , (or boy) that found me unattractive, they would eventually find me attractive.

    I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.

    When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90 % of their body... men are so polite they only look at the covered parts.

    A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight, live longer than the men who mention it.

    Relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?

    America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross the street to vote.

    You know that tingly little feeling you get when you like someone? That's your common sense leaving your body.

    Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

    My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that.

    I think my neighbor is stalking me as she's been googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night.

    Strong people don't put others down. They lift them up and slam them on the ground for maximum damage.

    I hate when I am about to hug someone really sexy and my face hits the mirror.

    Money talks ...but all mine ever says is good-bye.

    You're not fat, you're just... easier to see.

    If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

    Here's one from Ships Nostalgia, an online site I find good for research on my latest book:

    Three golfing partners died in a car wreck and went to heaven. Upon arrival they discover the most beautiful golf course they have ever seen. St. Peter tells them that they are all welcome to play the course, but he cautions them that there is only one rule:

    Don't hit the ducks in your first three months here!!!

    The men all have blank expressions, and finally one of them asks, "The ducks?"

    "Yes", St. Peter replies, "There are millions of ducks walking around the course and if one gets hit, he quacks then the one next to him quacks and soon they're all quacking to beat the band and it really breaks the tranquility. If you hit the ducks, you'll be punished, otherwise everything is yours to enjoy."

    Upon entering the course, the men noted that there were indeed large numbers of ducks everywhere.

    Within fifteen minutes, one of the guys hit a duck. The duck quacked, the one next to it quacked and soon here was a deafening roar of duck quacks.

    St. Peter walked up with an extremely homely woman in tow and asks, "Who hit the duck?"

    The guy who had done it admitted, "I did."

    St. Peter immediately pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand.

    "I told you not to hit the ducks,", he said. Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity."

    The other two men were very cautious not to hit any ducks, but a couple of weeks later, one of them accidentally did.

    The quacks were as deafening as before and within minutes St. Peter walked up with an even uglier woman.

    St. Peter cuffed the man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks," he said; "Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity."

    The third man was extremely careful. Some days he wouldn't even move for fear of even nudging a duck.

    After three months of this he still hadn't hit a duck.

    St. Peter walked up to the man at the end of the three months and had with him a knock-out gorgeous woman, the most beautiful woman the man had ever seen. St. Peter smiled to the man and then, without a word, handcuffed him to the beautiful woman and walked off.

    The man, knowing that he would be handcuffed to this woman for eternity, let out a contented sigh and wondered aloud, "I wonder what I did to deserve this?

    The woman responds, "I don't know about you, but I hit a duck."

    Oh The Irish...

    So there he was himself ...Sean Patrick O'Flannerty.....the tallest boy in his third grade class...

    All the boys were sent to the lavatory to use the facilities at 10:00 am as usual and when Sean was at the urinal he looked about him and was puzzled at what he saw...

    He thought about it all day and after dinner he asked his "Da" if he could ask him a question which his Father said yes to...

    Sean said...."Da...today I was using the urinal on the wall like the other boys and I looked around and noticed that I have a much larger penis than everyone else...is it because I"m Irish Da"?

    His father took the pipe from his mouth and said...."No lad....it has nothing to do with you being Irish"...

    .....with a look of confusion on his face Sean said, "Well if it isn't because I'm Irish...then what could it be Da"

    His father looked at him and said..."Sean....it's because you're 18"......

    Christmas Shopping with the Wife

    A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas.

    The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they had a lot to do, so she called him on the mobile.

    The wife said " Where are you, you know we have lots to do."

    He said "You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?"

    Little tears started to flow down her cheek and she got all choked up

    …"Yes, I do remember that shop." she replied.

    "Well I am in the golf shop next door to that."

    A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?"

    The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, "About 2 hours."

    The guy left.

    A few weeks later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looked around at the shop and said, "About 3 hours." The guy left.

    A month later, the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looked around the shop and said, "About an hour and a half." The guy left.


    The barber turned to his friend and said, "Hey, Bob, do me a favor. Follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn't ever come back." He must be going some place where he gets seen right away. A little while later, Bob returned to the shop, laughing hysterically.

    The barber asked, "So, where does that guy go when he leaves?" Bob looked up, wiped the tears from his eyes and said,

    "Your house!"
