Jokes for you!
I have begun to re organize the joke page… you will note that I have divided it into one liners and jokes. Hopefully this will be easier to navigate through…
A lot of you have written to say how much you enjoyed these. These are not original but have been gleaned from the many joke pages out there… these are one liners that I like and use (not all of them) …
A suggestion would be to write the one liners that appeal to you and have that sheet or set of index cards handy so you can review it easily. I have found that if these favorites are floating around your head, they begin to fall out at the opportune moments. Then, when that situation arises again, you are much more likely to have a few of these at the tip of your tongue.
When you study this list, you may find several that relate to each other. Some require a little work to make them fit. For example, “I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.” This can be put together with “My love affair with my car now includes my mechanic… I call it a “garage-a tois”…+…The other day I picked my car up and he told me he couldn’t fix the brakes so he made my horn louder.
See how that works..?
Enjoy, and laugh…

The 5 Stages of Drunkenness
Stage 1 – SMART
This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known
universe. You know you know everything and you want to pass on your
knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are always RIGHT.
And of course, the person you are talking to is very WRONG. This makes
for an interesting argument when both parties are SMART.
Stage 2 – GOOD LOOKING
This is when you realize that you are the BEST LOOKING person in the
entire bar and that people fancy you. You can go up to a perfect stranger
knowing they fancy you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that
you are still SMART, so you can talk to this person about any subject under
the sun.
Stage 3 – RICH
This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the world. You can
buy drinks for the entire bar because you have an armored truck full of
money parked behind the bar. You can also make bets at this stage, because
of
course you’re still SMART, so naturally, you will win all your bets. It
doesn’t
matter how much you bet ‘cos you are RICH. You will also buy drinks for
everyone
that you fancy, because you are now the BEST LOOKING person in the world.
Stage 4 – BULLET PROOF
You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone, especially those
with whom you have been betting or arguing. This is because nothing can hurt
you. At this point you can also go up to the partners of the people who you
fancy and challenge them to a battle of the wits or money. You have no fear
of
losing this battle, because you are SMART, you’re RICH, and Hell, you’re
better looking than them anyway!
Stage 5 – INVISIBLE
This is the final stage of Drunkenness. At this point you can do
anything, because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU, You dance on a table to impress the
people whom you fancy because the rest of the people in the room cannot see
you.
You are also invisible to the person who wants to fight you. You can walk
through
the street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see or hear
you
and because you’re still SMART, you know ALL the words!

A rabbi asked a 6 year old boy what his favorite bible story was…I guess the one about Noah and the Ark, where they floated around on the water for 40 day s and 40 nights, replied the boy.
That was a good story, a said the rabbi, ã and with all that water, I bet they had a good time fishing, don’t you think?
The boy thought for a moment, then replied, I don’t think so…they only had 2 worms!

Influencing The Jury
=====================
Murphy, a dishonest lawyer, bribed a man on his client’s jury to
hold out for a charge of manslaughter, as opposed to the charge
of murder which was brought by the state.
The jury was out for several days before they returned with the
manslaughter verdict.
When Murphy paid the corrupt juror, he asked him if he had a very
difficult time convincing the other jurors to see things his way.
“Sure did,” the juror replied, “the other eleven wanted to acquit.”

“Aha”, she thought, “I have that monogrammed silver tray from
my wedding that I never use. I’ll just take it to a

it. Voila, one cheap wedding present!”
So, she took it to the silversmith and asked him to remove her
monogram and put the new one on. The silversmith took one

The store manager apologized profusely and promised the bird
wouldn’t say it again. The next day, when the lady walked

The bird, strutting back and forth on its perch in a cocky

There was once an aspiring veterinarian who put himself
through veterinary school working nights as a taxidermist.
Upon graduation, he decided he could combine his two
vocations to better serve the needs of his patients and
their owners, while doubling his practice and, therefore,
his income.
He opened his own offices with a shingle on the door saying,
“Dr. Jones, Veterinary Medicine and Taxidermy — Either way,

As many of you know I have been traveling quite a bit recently and
every
once in awhile, the announcements over the planes PA system are quite
humorous. Here area a few gems of note…
“As we prepare for takeoff, please make sure your tray tables and seat
backs are fully upright in their most uncomfortable position.”
“Your seat cushions can be used for floatation, and in the event of
an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments.”
“We do feature a smoking section on this flight; if you must smoke,
contact a member of the flight crew and we will escort you to the
wing of the airplane.
“Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught smoking
in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately.”
Pilot — “Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am
going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you
wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land… it’s a bit cold
outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.”
And, after landing: “Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We
hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you
for a ride.”
Here are a few heard from Northwest: “Should the cabin lose pressure,
oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag
over your own mouth and nose before assisting children or adults acting
like children.”
“As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your
belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among
the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.”
And from the pilot during his welcome message: “We are pleased to have
some of the best flight attendants in the industry… Unfortunately
none of them are on this flight.”
Upon landing hard, one pilot got on the PA system and said,
“Sorry for the hard landing, folks. It wasn’t the pilot’s fault,
and it wasn’t the plane’s fault. It was the asphalt.”

Marriage Counseling
After just a few years of marriage filled with constant arguments, a
young man and his wife decided the only way to save their marriage
was to try counseling. They had been at each other’s throats for some
time and felt that this was their last straw.
When they arrived at the counselor’s office, the counselor jumped
right in and opened the floor for discussion. “What seems to be the
problem?” Immediately, the husband held his long face down without
anything to say. In contrast, the wife began talking 90 miles an hour,
describing all the wrongs within their marriage.
After 15 minutes of listening to the wife, the counselor went over to
her, picked her up by her shoulders, kissed her passionately and sat
her back down. Afterwards, the wife sat speechless.
The marriage counselor looked over at the husband, who stared in
disbelief. The counselor said to the husband, “Your wife NEEDS that
at least twice a week!”
The husband scratched his head and replied, “I can have her here
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
