A spinster of 92 finally consented to go to a retirement community, but strictly on a two-week-trial basis. Consequently, she took a small overnight case with only the bare essentials.

The next day her niece was surprised to get a phone call from her demanding more clothes.

“Please bring me that good black silk, my lavender print, the brown wool…” the list went on and on.

Finally the niece asked, “What changed your mind about staying at the retirement community?”

The dear old lady responded: “There are MEN in this place!”

YOU KNOW YOU’RE A BAD COOK WHEN…

– You use the smoke alarm as a cooking timer.

– You consider it a culinary success if the pop-tart stays in one piece.

– Your dog goes to the neighbors’ to eat.

– When you barbecue, two of your kids hold water guns and the third stands ready by the phone with 911 on speed-dial.

– Your family automatically heads for the dinner table every time they hear a fire truck siren.

– Your two best recipes are meatloaf and apple pie, but your dinner guests can’t tell which is which.

– You’ve used three boxes of scouring pads, a bottle of Drano, and a crowbar, and that macaroni and cheese still won’t let go of the pan.

– You make tuna noodle surprise and the surprise is that it glows in the dark and melts the silverware.

A college student could not take his seminar final exam because of a funeral.

“No problem,” the teacher told him. “Make it up the following week.” That week came, and again he couldn’t take the test due to another funeral.

“You’ll have to take the test early next week,” the professor insisted. “I can’t keep postponing it.”

“I’ll take the test next week if no one dies,” the undergrad replied.

By now I the instructor was suspicious. “How can you have so many people you know pass away in three weeks?”

“I don’t know any of these people,” the student exclaimed. “But I’m the only gravedigger in town.”

It must be true that men are from Mars. Look at how the place has deteriorated.

A 4-year old son was eating an apple in the back seat of the car, when he asked, “Daddy, why is my apple turning brown?”

“Because,” his dad explained, “after you ate the skin off, the meat of the apple came into contact with the air, which caused it to oxidize, thus changing the molecular structure and turning it into a different color.”

There was a long silence. Then the son asked softly, “Daddy, are you talking to me?”

I believe we should all pay our tax bill with a smile. I tried — but they wanted cash.

A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from an exclusive jewelry store. 

“Listen,” said the shoplifter, “I know you don’t want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch, and we forget about this?” 

The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook looked at the slip and said, “This is a little more than I intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive?”

Why are there Interstates in Hawaii? 

A fellow who loved to go out in his kayak whenever he could.  

One winter it was very cold, so he built a fire on a metal lined pad on the floor of the boat.  

The fire burned through the pad, causing the boat to sink.  

This proves that we cannot have our kayak and heat it, too.
