A somewhat inexperienced musician who joined an orchestra on a cruise ship was having a terrible time keeping time with the rest of the band.

Finally, the band leader said, "Look, either you learn to keep time or I'll throw you overboard! It's up to you. Either sync or swim."

(I was going to change that to a dinner train, but the punchline didn't work....)

A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out
as a "handy-woman" and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do
neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house, and asked
the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said, "How
much will you charge me?"

The blonde quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need
were in the garage.

The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she
realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?"

He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all
those dumb blonde jokes we've been getting by e-mail lately."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

"You're finished already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the blonde replied, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two
coats."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it
to her.

"And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."

A married lady calls her landlord from her tenement apartment in lower Chicago, and he agrees to come hear her complaint. A half hour later, a little old man arrives at the door.
He says, "Well, what's the complaint?"

She says, "Every time a train goes by and I'm lying in bed, the room shakes so much I almost fall out."

They go into the bedroom, and he lies on the bed.

Just then, her husband comes home, walks into the room, and sees the little old guy on the bed.

He says, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

The guy says, "Would you believe waiting for a train?"

Political Humor


Three Texas surgeons were arguing as to which had the greatest skill.
The first began: "Three years ago, I reattached seven fingers on a pianist. He went on to give a recital for the Queen of England."

The second replied: "That's nothing. I attended a man in a car accident. All his arms and legs were severed from his body. Two years after I reattached them, he won three gold medals in the Sydney Olympics.

The third said: "A few years back, I attended to a cowboy. He was high on cocaine and alcohol when he rode his horse head-on into a Santa Fe freight train travelling at 100 miles per hour. All I had to work with was the horse's *** and a ten gallon hat. two years ago he became the president of the United States.

This is a transcript between a commuter and the railroad company, regarding services of the latter.
"Gentlemen: I have been riding trains daily for the last twenty-two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
Yours truly,
A Commuter"

The Reply to the above:

"Dear Sir: We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.
Sincerely,
Western Railways"

And the Counter-Reply was:

"Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your letter, and I think youare the ones who are confused in your history. If you will refer to the Bible, Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ***... That, gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last twenty-two years!
Yours truly,
A Commuter"

A woman is helping her computer-illiterate husband set up his computer. She instructs him to choose and enter a password he wants to use when logging on. The husband, in a rather amorous mood, figures he will try for a shock effect to bring his mood to his wife's attention. When the computer asks him to enter his password, he makes it plainly obvious to his wife that he is keying in "***"...

His wife nearly falls off her chair from laughing so hard when the computer replies:

PASSWORD REJECTED. NOT LONG ENOUGH

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.

"Johnny, do you have a story to share?

"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told a story about my Aunt Carol. Aunt Carol was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife.

She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't fall into enemy hands and then her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, ' till the blade broke and then she killed the last one with her bare hands."

"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "What kind of moral did your daddy teach you from that horrible story?"

"Stay the hell away from Aunt Carol when she's been drinking."

After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for his young secretary.


His new girlfriend demanded that she wanted to live in the couple's multimillion dollar home, and since the man's lawyers were a little better, he prevailed.


He gave his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out. She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay.


When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells, dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.


When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning & mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.


People stopped coming over to visit... Repairmen refused to work in the house...The maid quit... Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local realtors refused to return their calls.


Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the Bank to purchase a new place.


The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back...


Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth... But only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour, his lawyers delivered the paperwork.


A week later, the man and his new girlfriend stood smirking as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home...... including........ the curtain rods.


I just love a happy ending.....

These are also from "The Funnybone":

A college student was needing party money. He wrote his dad a short letter
stating: "No mon, no fun. Your son. His dad got his letter and wrote him
back: "Too bad, so sad. Your dad."

A fellow went to the drugstore and purchased a box of mothballs. The next
day he returned and bought another box. The clerk was curious, so he asked,
"Do you have a lot of moths in your house?"
"Yes I do. I have been throwing these moth balls at them for two days, and I
have not been able to hit a single one!" he explained.

Sam: "I don't know. Why?"
Joey: "Because he didn't have any body to go with."

You had your bladder removed

My tire was thumping....
I thought it was flat....
when I looked at the tire....
I noticed your cat... Sorry

To my ex on Valentines Day
After all these years
I am still missing you
But my aim is getting better

You totaled your car...
and can't remember why...
could it have been...
that case of Bud Dry?

Heard your wife left you...
How upset you must be...
But don't fret about it....
She moved in with me

Happy Vasectomy!
Hope you feel zippy!
'Cause when I had mine
I got real snippy.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Heard your sick
Glad its you.

She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items. Dad returned a short while later, 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.
