Humor – June 5

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist. 

Just to see what would happen, on the twins’ birthday their father loaded the pessimist’s room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist’s room he loaded with horse manure. 

That night the father passed by the pessimist’s room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly. 

“Why are you crying?” the father asked. 

“Because my friends will be jealous, I’ll have to read all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I’ll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken,” answered the pessimist twin. 

Passing the optimist twin’s room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. 

“What are you so happy about?” he asked. 

To which his optimist twin replied, “Look at all this manure! There’s got to be a pony in here somewhere!”

Didn’t really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

In the doctor’s office, two patients are talking.

“You know, I had an appendectomy last month and the doctor left a sponge in
me by mistake.”

“A sponge!” exclaims the other. “And do you feel much pain”

“No pain at all,” says the first, “but do I get horribly thirsty”

When I was a kid, I wanted to play the guitar badly. And after years of hard
work, practice and dedication, I can now play the guitar… badly.

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.  After explaining the commandment to “honor thy father and thy mother,” she asked: “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?”

Without missing a beat one little boy answered, “Thou shall not kill.”

When I was a kid getting put to bed at 9:00, I couldn’t wait until I was a grown-up and could stay up until whatever time I wanted. That time is, apparently, 9:00.

“Hey Alexa, can you check my bank account and see what Apple product I can afford to buy?”

Alexa: “Apple juice.”

When I moved into my new igloo my friends threw me a surprise house-warming party. Now I’m homeless.

A five year old boy went for a weekend trip with his grandparents. On the way home, they stopped at a country restaurant for lunch.

The little boy left the table to use the restroom by himself. A moment later he returned with a confused look on his face. He says, “Grandpa, am I a rooster or a hen?”

TELEMARKETER HANG-UP STRATEGY

A telemarketer calls, “I would like to speak with Max, please.”

The homeowner reluctantly replies, “I suppose that would be possible, but it seems rather strange.”

The telemarketer responds, “Why would that be?”

The homeowner answers, “This is the first time we’ve ever had a call for the dog.”

The easiest way to figure the cost of living is to take your income and add twenty percent.

Humor – May 28

Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner. Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her mother what she wanted. ‘Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.’ Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol’s mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for her birthday. Little Carol, of course, thought she did.

Carol’s mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she deserved a bike for her birthday. Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:

Dear God:
I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for my birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend, Carol

Carol knew this wasn’t true.  She had not been a very good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:

Dear God:
This is your friend Carol. I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I would like a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Carol
Carol knew this wasn’t true either. She tore up the letter and started again.

LETTER 3:

Dear God:
I know I haven’t been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I will be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you, Carol

Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get her a bike. By now, she was very upset. She went downstairs and told her mother she wanted to go to church. Carol’s mother thought her plan had worked because Carol looked very sad.

“Just be home in time for dinner,” her mother said. 

Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. She looked around to see if anyone was there. She picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary, slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the street, into her house, and up to her room. She shut the door and sat down and wrote her letter to God.

LETTER 4:

I GOT YOUR MAMA.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.
Signed, YOU KNOW WHO
