RE: Go Ahead! Laugh! You Know You Want To!.

Hi Friends,

Been away for awhile. Wanted to stop by and share a Smile or Two...


The Effectiveness of a Tennis Ball

A college professor had the mysterious habit of removing a
tennis ball from his jacket pocket as he walked into the
lecture hall each morning. He would set it on the corner of
the podium. After giving the lecture for the day, he would
once again pick up the tennis ball, place it into his jacket
pocket, and leave the room.

No one ever understood why he did this, until one day ...

A student fell asleep during the lecture. The professor
didn't miss a word of his lecture while he walked over to
the podium, picked up the tennis ball, and threw it, hitting
the sleeping student squarely on the top of the head.

The next day, the professor walked into the room, reached
into his jacket, removed a baseball ...

No one ever fell asleep in his class the rest of the
semester!

Start a Flood

A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the sunny
Caribbean. They were discussing their great vacations when
the lawyer said, "I'm here because my house burned down, and
everything I owned was destroyed by the fire. The insurance
company paid for everything."

"That is quite a coincidence," said the engineer. "I'm here
because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a
flood, and my insurance company also paid for everything."

The lawyer, quite puzzled, asked, "How DO you start a
flood?"

911 Dispatcher

Part of my job as a 911 dispatcher is to interrogate callers
who are in various states of panic so I can send the
appropriate emergency equipment.

One day a woman called to say that a family member had
fallen and needed to go to a hospital.

After finding out where she lived and assuring her that the
paramedics would arrive shortly, I asked her, "Do you know
what caused the fall?"

"No," the woman nervously replied. "What?"

__________

Cowboy Insurance


A cowboy was trying to buy an insurance policy. The
insurance agent was going down the list of standard
questions. "Ever had an accident?"

"Nope, nary a one."

"None? You've never had any accidents?"

"Nope. Ain't never had one. Never."

"That's hard to believe. No accidents at all?"

"Well, a rattler bit me one time."

"Wouldn't you consider that an accident?"

"Nope! The varmint bit me on purpose!"

And finally, since today is Father's Day...

Dad at the Supermarket

My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate
unless someone prepared a meal for him. When Mother was ill,
however, he volunteered to go to the supermarket for her.
She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven
items.

Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded
to unpack the grocery bags. He had one bag of sugar, two
dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent, five boxes
of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers.

Have A Safe & Happy Father's Day My Friends,

Phil

Hi Friends,

Is anyone still out there? Hope so! Otherwise, this whole thing seems kind of pointless. Anyway, here's a few that I hope someone will like.

DRINKING FAST

A guy goes into a bar, orders twelve shots and starts drinking them as fast as
he can. The bartender says, "Dang, why are you drinking so fast?" The guy
says, "You would be drinking fast if you had what I had."

The bartender says, "What do you have?"

The guy says, "75 cents."

WHAT'S THE OTHER SIDE LIKE?

There were two lovers, who were really into spiritualism and reincarnation. They vowed that if either died, the other one remaining would try to contact the partner in the other world exactly 30 days after their death.

Unfortunately, a few weeks later, the young man died in a car wreck. True to her word, his sweetheart tried to contact him in the spirit world exactly 30 days later.

At the seance, she called out, "John, John, this is Martha. Do you hear me?" A ghostly voice answered her, "Yes Martha, this is John. I can hear you." Martha tearfully asked, "Oh John, what is it like where you are?" "It's beautiful. There are azure skies, a soft breeze, sunshine most of the time."

"What do you do all day?" asked Martha. "Well, Martha, we get up before sunrise, eat some good breakfast, and there's nothing but making love until noon. After lunch, we nap until two and then make love again until about five. After dinner, we go at it again until we fall asleep about 11 p.m."

Martha was somewhat taken aback. "Is that what heaven really is like?" "Heaven? I'm not in heaven, Martha." "Well, then, where are you?"

"I'm a rabbit in Arizona."

ALL IN THE FAMILY

"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently patting his
hand.

"We do need to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"

"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.

"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.

"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."

"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun essayed.

"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered.

"But she's a humble spinster nun."

"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not 'spinsters.' They are married to God."

"Wonderful," said Smith. "In that case, please send the bill to my brother-in-law."

Hi Sara & Karen,

It's so nice of you both to stop by and thanks for your Comments. Karen, there will never be another one like Johnny. He was definitely an Original. Thanks for the memories. Actually in June of 1965, I would have been busy graduating from High School. Talk about the Good Old Days!

Here's a few lawyer jokes that I've always liked...Not The Lawyers, Just The Jokes!

An artist, a lawyer, and a computer scientist

An artist, a lawyer, and a computer scientist are discussing the merits of having a mistress. The artist tells of the passion, the thrill which comes with the risk of being discovered. The lawyer warns of the difficulties. It can lead to guilt, divorce, bankruptcy. Not worth it. Too many problems. The computer scientist says "It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. My wife thinks I'm with my mistress. My mistress thinks I'm home with my wife, and I can spend all night on the computer!"

Bear With Me

A very wealthy lawyer vacationed for several weeks each year at his summer home in the backwoods of Maine. Each summer, he would invite friends to come to visit him.
One summer he invited a lawyer from Czechoslovakia to visit him. The friend, eager to see how a wealthy American vacationed, gratefully agreed. They had a wonderful vacation, and spent a great deal of time exploring the woods and enjoying the natural setting.
One morning, as the lawyer and his Czechoslovakian friend were walking through the woods, they were approached by two huge bears -- a male and a female. The lawyer noticed them in time to run for cover. His friend, however, was not so lucky. The male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.
Seeing this, the lawyer ran to his Mercedes and sped for the nearest town to get the local sheriff. The sheriff grabbed a high-powered rifle and they raced back to the berry patch. Luckily, the bears were still there.
"He's in THAT one!" cried the lawyer, pointing at the bear that had consumed his friend. "Quick -- shoot it. Maybe we can still save my friend!"
The sheriff looked at the bears, leveled his gun, took careful aim, and shot the female. His aim was true, and the female bear collapsed to the ground. The startled mail fled into the woods.
"Why did you do that?" demanded the lawyer, "I said he was in the other bear!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff. "Would YOU believe a lawyer who told you that the Czech was in the male?"
