A man was sick and tired of going to work every day
while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what
he went through so he prayed:

“Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours
while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know
what I go through, so please allow her body to switch
with mine for a day. Amen.

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed
their lunches, Drove them to school, came home and picked
up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners And stopped
at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, Then
drove home to put away the groceries. Paid the bills and
balanced the checkbook. He cleaned the cat’s litter box
and bathed the dog.

Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds,
do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen
floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an
argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and
cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework,
Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did
the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables
for salad, mixing the meat loaf, and snapped fresh beans
for supper.

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher,
folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.

At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores
weren’t finished, he went to bed where he was expected
to make love, which he managed to get through without
complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the
bed and said, Lord,I don’t know what I was thinking. I
was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home
all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back.”

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied,
“My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will
be happy to change things back to the way they were.
You’ll just have to wait nine months, though. You got
pregnant last night!”

Subject: The Blonde in the Casino.

An attractive blonde from Dublin arrived and bet twenty-thousand pounds on a single roll of the dice.

She said, ‘I hope you don’t mind, but I feel much luckier when I’m completely nude’.

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and Yelled,
‘Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!’

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...
‘YES! YES! I WON, I WON!’

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.

Finally, one of them asked, ‘What did she roll?’

The other answered, ‘I don’t know - I thought you were watching.’

MORAL OF THE STORY -

Not all Irish are stupid and not all Blondes are Dumb, But all Men are Men.
