$4000 Hearing

An elderly man inquired of his wife about a recent, large expense.

“Well yes I bought this new hearing aid, dear.” his wife replied.

“How much did it cost, dear?,” he asked.

“Four thousand dollars,” she said.

“Four thousand dollars! Why would you have to pay so much for a hearing aid?”, he exclaimed.

“It’s a wonderful hearing aid. Why I can hear everything around me. I can make out everything that people are saying around me even from the other side of the room.”

“Really? What kind is it?”

“It’s five-thirty,” she said checking her watch. “Why?”

An Addiction

Connie told her 4-year-old grandson, Dean, not to jump on the beds. After several warnings she punished him, explaining that should he fall, he would hurt himself badly.

Several minutes passed... and he was back to jumping on the beds. Connie said, “Dean, you weren’t jumping on the beds again, were you?”

He stood with his little head dropped low and said, “I’m trying, but it’s so hard to quit.”

“Barbecuing: Manly Cooking”

Barbecuing - It’s the only type of cooking a “real” man will do.

When a man volunteers to do such cooking, the following chain of events is put into motion:

(1) The woman goes to the store.

(2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, drinking a beer.

(4) The man places the meat on the grill.

(5) The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables.

(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.

(7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.

(8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.

(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

(10) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed “her night off.”

And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women.

Three Legged Chicken

A man was driving along a rural road one day when he saw a three legged chicken. He was amused enough to drive along side it for a while, as he was driving he noticed the chicken was running 30 mph.

Pretty fast chicken, he thought, I wonder just how fast it can run. So he sped up and the chicken did too! They were now moving along the road at 45 mph! The man in the car sped up again, to his surprise the chicken was still running ahead of him at 60 mph!!!

Suddenly the chicken turned off the road and ran down a long driveway leading to a farmhouse. The man followed the chicken to the house and saw a man in the yard and dozens of three legged chickens. The man in the car called out to the farmer “How did you get all these three legged chickens?”

The farmer replied, “I breed ‘em. Ya see it’s me, my wife and my son living here and we all like to eat the chicken leg. Since a chicken only has two legs, I started breeding this three legged variety so we could all eat our favorite piece.”

“That’s amazing!” said the driver “How do they taste?”

“Don’t rightly know, can’t catch ‘em.”

Oh my, you just described my summer cooking!

I would do the grilling too but my husband didn’t appreciate it when I set the side of the house on fire. He never explained that 1)do not set the grill on high and leave it 2)pay attention to the dog when she’s freaking out.

“Bag of Chickens”

Two goobers meet on a dusty country road. One of them is carrying a big bag labeled, “chickens.”

“Chickens, eh?” says one guy. “Hey, if I guess how many chickens you got, will you give me one?”

“Heck,” says the guy with the bag, “iffin you guess right, I’ll give you both of ‘em.”

The other scratches his head and guesses, “Um... five?”

Just in case you missed this on FNC this morning:

Clark Retirement Community - Lip Dub - Buble's "It's a New Day"

(I loved the prune juice being served in wine glasses, the package of Depends the lady grabbed,
the syncronized swimmers and the old couple caught necking in the storage room! LOL!)

I want a pendant like that, JC!

I had roofers here a few months back, and the noise kept me on ‘edge’ all day long! Have a great Friday!
