A salesman was going door to door trying to sell his wares. As he walked up to the next house, he noticed a small boy sitting on the front steps.

“Is your mother home?” the salesman asked the small boy.

“Yeah, she’s home,” the boy said, scooting over to let him past.

The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then again. Still no one came to the door. Turning to the boy, the fellow said, “I thought you said your mother was home!?”

The kid replied, “She is; but this isn’t where I live.”

“This house,” said the real estate salesman, “has both its good points and its bad points. To show you I’m honest, I’m going to tell you about both.

The disadvantages are that there is a chemical plant one block south and a slaughterhouse a block north.”

“What are the advantages?” inquired the prospective buyer.

“The advantage is that you can always tell which way the wind is blowing.”

Studies have shown that cows produce more milk when the farmer talks to them. It’s a case of in one ear and out the udder.

Of course, our Chinese New Year dinner was all Chinese food, including fortune cookies. I had 2 cookies.  

The message in the first cookie was:

“You inspire others with your principles.”

And, in case I became too inflated with myself, the second one was:

“Improve yourself. Practice makes perfect.”

Humbled for another year!

Upon going away to college, my former brother-in-law received a hand mixer from his mother because of his fondness for mashed potatoes. Later that semester, she asked him how the mixer was working for him. “Not very good,” Terry said, “the potatoes keep flying all over the kitchen.” 

After a perplexed pause, his mother asked, “Terry, did you cook the potatoes first?” 

To which a surprised Terry responded, “You have to cook the potatoes first?”

At a wedding ceremony that I was performing, I raised my hand to give the final blessing. 

The bride misunderstood my gesture and surprised me with a high-five. 

Not wanting to exclude the groom, I offered him a high-five, too. 

I was finally able to get my blessing in, amid the laughter of the guests.

Redneck murders are harder to solve. All the DNA  matches and there are no dental records.

While being transported to basic training as a new enlistee of the Air National Guard, I accidentally opened a parachute in the rear of the C-47. The plane was piloted by a major and a captain, and I felt intimidated as I opened the cockpit door to confess what I had done. 

Expecting to be severely chastised, I was surprised by the captain’s calm response. “Well, son,” he said, “if this plane goes down, that chute is yours.”

A surgeon goes to return some books he borrowed from the library… The librarian quips after checking the books… 

“Sir your books are always returned with the last page missing in every single book…” 

The surgeon replies, “I can’t stop myself from removing an appendix when ever I see one.”

Stopping at a restaurant advertising a “Unique Breakfast,” a man asked the waitress what this was, and was told, “Baked chicken tongue.” 

“That’s disgusting!” the man said. “I’d never eat something that came out of a chicken’s mouth.” 

“What would you like then?” the waitress asked. 

“Oh, just bring me some scrambled eggs,” the man replied.

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. 

The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. 

“Preacher,” said the young man, “I’m sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.” 

The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”
