ALRIGHT!! First in!
Hiya, Joe. I've missed the place these last few weeks!
Might I bother you for a glass of water and an ashtray.
I'll need a beer after 4:35 (after the nurse takes a blood sample for insurance), but then I cna go hog wild.
Well, as hog wild as a guy who has to be at work at 615 in the morning dares to, anyhow.
First joke of the day:
Mother Superior
Mother Superior was on her way to late morning prayers, when she passed two novices just leaving early morning prayers, on their way to classes. As she passed the young ladies,
Mother Superior said, "Good morning ladies."
The novices replied, "Good morning, Mother Superior, may
God be with you." But after they had passed, Mother
Superior heard one say to the other, "I think she got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning."
This startled Mother Superior, but she chose not to pursue the issue.
A little further down the hall, Mother Superior passed two
of the Sisters who had been teaching at the convent for several years.
She greeted them with, "Good morning Sister Martha, Sister Jessica, may God give you wisdom for our students today. "Good morning, Mother Superior. Thank you, and may God be with you."
But again, after passing, Mother Superior overheard, "She got out of the wrong side of bed today." Baffled, she started to wonder if she had spoken harshly, or with an irritated look on her face. She vowed to be more pleasant.
Looking down the hall, Mother Superior saw retired Sister Mary approaching, step by step, with her walker. As Sister Mary was rather deaf, Mother Superior had plenty of time to arrange a pleasant smile on her face, before greeting Sister Mary. "Good morning, Sister Mary. I'm so happy to see you up and about. I pray God watches over you today, and grants you a wonderful day."
Ah, Good morning, Mother Superior, and thank you. I see you got up on the wrong side of bed this morning."
Mother Superior was floored! "Sister Mary, what have I done wrong? I have tried to be pleasant, but three times already today, people have said that about me."
Sister Mary stopped her walker,and looked Mother Superior in the face. "Oh, don't take it personal, Mother Superior. It's just that you're wearing Father Murphy's slippers."
Many thanks, Joe.
Where's my Wife?
A man approached a very beautiful woman in the large supermarket and said,
"I've lost my wife here in the supermarket. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?"
The woman looked puzzled. "Why talk to me?" she asked.
"Because every time I talk to a woman with breasts like yours, my wife appears out of nowhere "
Howdy Joe!
Hows about a martini this afternoon! How've ya been?
Hi Don,
good one!
Glad you liked it.
Chris Rock's Quote of the Day:
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'. Need I say more?"
Leno: So, do you think Martha Stewart will do jail time?
Rock: I don't know, but when they start sending white women to jail -- we're ALL going to jail!!
I've been craving a beer for 4 days now (mostly because I *could* have one, but for a blood test I avoid booze for several days), but the clock is ticking down to 4:30, when the nurse is due here.
Get this: life insurance rates are DOUBLED when you smoke.
I'd go without it, but the mortgage issuer demands it.
