A bigshot business man had to spend a couple of days in the hospital.
He was a royal pain to the nurses because he mistreated and bossed them around just like he did his employees. None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him.
The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She walked into his room and announced, "I have to take your temperature."
After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
"No, I'm sorry, the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I can't use an oral thermometer."
This started another round of complaining, but eventually he rolled over and bared his behind.
After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, "I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!"
She leaves the door to his room open on her way out. He curses under his breath as he hears people walking past his door, laughing. After almost an hour, the man's doctor comes into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answers, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken before?"
After a pause, the doctor replies, "Yes, but never with a daffodil!"

A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbor and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started." Her neighbor asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?" The little silver haired lady says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster." Her neighbor decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster." He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then," he said with a deep sigh ............
"Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."
Careful Nance; how will you be at putting puzzles together when you reach her age?

Uhm... I don't know, but I just hope I don't try to do so with a box of Corn Flakes!!!
I had the same problem when I tried to put together a picture of a tiger...
Grrr...
Sounds like we'd all be better off to stick with our trains, and stay away from the animals!
A less-than-intelligent fellow (choose your own group) called buddy, all excited because he'd completed a jigsaw puzzle. The buddy was less than impressed and inquired as to why this fellow was so excited.
"On the box it says 3 to 5 years, and I got it done in less than two weeks!"
Here's a joke that'll make you laugh sooooooooooo hard

Forgive me if this one has previously posted, but here goes:
Two blondes were walking in the woods. When they came across a set of tracks. The first one said, "Those are bear tracks!" The second disagreed. "Those are rabbit tracks!" So, they followed the tracks arguing. "Bear tracks!" "Rabbit tracks!" Just then a train runs them over.
The Arrogance of Authority A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas.He told the old rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."The rancher said, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there..."The DEA officer verbally exploded, saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!" Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher."See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish...on any land! No questions asked or answers given! Have I made myself clear...do you understand?!"
The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull. With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs...

"Your badge! Show him your BADGE!"
Why be difficult, when with just a little effort, you can be impossible?
They say that nothing is impossible, but they are wrong; I've been doing it for years.

A guy is 72 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.'He looked around and couldn't see anyone. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,'Pick me up.' He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.The man said, 'Are you talking to me?'The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.' Pick me up, then kiss me, and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!'The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.'He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'With age comes wisdom.
A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race come about?" The Mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve; they had children and, so all mankind was made." A few days later, the little girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys, and we developed from them." The confused girl returns to her mother and says, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God , and Papa says we developed from monkeys?" The Mother answers, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about the origin of my side of the family, and your father told you about his side."

Of course, my all time favorite was the explanation for what the acronym version of my employer's name in the 1970's, one of the major motion picture film labs in Hollywood:
CFI: "Can't Find It" --said to more than one customer (I was told) when they came to collect negatives or prints. (Apparently dailies were a big problem in that regard, for some reason.)
A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car. The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is dead .
The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry. A beautiful blonde woman driving down the road sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.
"I feel terrible," ! he explains, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and killed him."
The blonde says,"Don't worry." She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents on him.
The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves a paw at the them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.
The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny ?" The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label. It says...
(Are you ready for this?)
(Are you sure?)
(You know you're gonna be sorry)
(Last chance!)
(OK, here it is)
It says...
"Hair Spray Restores life to dead hair,and adds a permanent wave."
Happy Easter!!!
What do you call ten rabbits marching backwards?A receding hareline.
How do you catch the Easter Bunny?Hide in the bushes and make a noise like a carrot!
A logician saves the life of a tiny space alien. The alien is very grateful and, since she's omniscient, offers the following reward: she offers to answer any question the logician might pose.
Without too much thought (after all, he's a logician), he asks: "What is the best question to ask and what is the correct answer to that question?"
The tiny alien pauses. Finally she replies, "The best question is the one you just asked; and the correct answer is the one I gave."
A woman was at the summer olympics. As she walked through a crowded area, she bumped into a man carrying a pole. She asked "are you a pole vaulter?" Puzzed, he replied " No, I'm a Norweigan, but how did you know my name was Walter?"

Neighbor kids from Austria across the street want to drive that hot Chrysler car when they grow up - you know the one, a Dodge Wiper !
The "Pennsylvania Dutch" area guys I used to work with called the imported German car known often as a 'Beetle' a "Wolks- Vagen". They could say it 3 times real fast without missing a beat, too . . .
