A Fisherman's Tale

Posted on 08/21/2002 7:15:25 PM PDT by h.a. cherev

Two fellas are fishing in a boat under a bridge.

One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge. He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head.

The procession crosses the bridge and the man puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and continues fishing.

The other guy says, "That was touching. I didn't know you had it in you."

The first guy responds, "Well, I guess it was the thing to do - after all, I was married to her for 40 years."

Viennese humor:

Two mourners meet at the cemetery.

Man 1: "Who are you burying?"
Man 2: "My wife. You?"
Man 1: "Mother-in-law."
Man 2: "That's not so bad either."

I was thinking that your joke was going to end with...

"Wow, that water's cold"

"Yeah, and deep, too," ...

There was a Darwin nominee in a small boat out in the Chesapeake Bay. They decided to stand for a tribute to Jerry Garcia (probably 95 or 96). One took a header into the bay and never came up. The found him a couple of days later.

P.S. This is a true story.

There was a little American Indian boy, who asked his father how he and his siblings got their names. He said when your brother was born, I looked out of the tee pee and saw a bird in the air, so I named him Flying Eagle. When your sister was born, I looked out of the tee pee and saw a fawn chasing after its mother, so I named her Running Deer. Why do you ask these questions, Two F------g Dogs?

Sven and Ole worked together and both were laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office.

Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty stitcher; I sew the elastic onto cotton panties." The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gave him $300 a week unemployment pay.

Sven was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter," he replied. Since diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week.

When Ole found out, he was furious. He stormed back into the unemployment office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting twice his pay. The clerk explained that panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were skilled labor.

"What skill?" yelled Ole. "I sew the elastic on, Sven pulls it over his head and says, ..."Yep, diesel fitter."
