Uh-oh!

Two robins were sitting in a tree.

"I'm really hungry," said the first one.

"Me too," said the second one. "Let's fly down and find some lunch."

They flew to the ground and found a nice plot of plowed ground full of worms.

They ate and ate and ate and ate 'til they could eat no more.

"I'm so full I don't think I can fly back up to the tree," said the one.

"Me either." said the second. "Let's just lie here and bask in the warm sun."

"Okay," said the first robin.

They plopped down, basking in the sun.



No sooner had they fallen asleep than a big cat sneaked up and gobbled both of them up.

As the cat sat washing his face after his meal, he thought, "I really love baskin' robins."

Service With a Smile????

(Thanks to Tony for sharing this one.)




I was confused when I heard these terms with reference to the word "service":



Internal Revenue "Service"

U.S. Postal "Service"

Telephone "Service"

Cable "Service"Civil "Service"

Customer "Service"

State, City, & County Public "Service"

Government "Service"

This is not what I thought "service" meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to "service" a few cows.



BAM!!! It all came into focus.




Now I understand what all those"service" agencies are doing to us.

When's the Burial?

(Thanks to Julie MacKay Cox for this.)



An old man, Mr. Wallace, was living in a nursing home.


One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.


Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong.


'Yes, Nurse Tracy ,' said Mr. Wallace.'My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.'


Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a little crazy, she replied, 'Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my Condolences.'





The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private Part hanging out of his pajamas. He met Nurse Tracy.


'Mr. Wallace,' she said, 'You shouldn't be walking down the hall like that. Please put your Private Part back inside your pajamas.'


'But, Nurse Tracy I can't,' replied Mr. Wallace. 'I told you yesterdaythat my Private Part died.'


'Yes,' said Nurse Tracy, 'you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your pajamas?'


'Well,' he replied, 'Today is the viewing.'

And That's The Truth!

A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall.

He approached a uniformed policeman and said, 'I've lost my grandpa!'

The cop asked, 'What's he like?'

The little boy hesitated for a moment and then replied, 'Crown Royal whiskey and women with big boobs.'

Now That's Some Kind of Drink!!!

(Thanks to Gene and Lillian for sharing this!)

There's a man sitting at a bar just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour.

Then, a big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying.

The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand seeing a man crying."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life, it seems I just can't win...

First, I fall asleep, and I'm late to my office. My boss, in an outrage, fires me. When I leave the building to go to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home and when I get there, I find my wife sleeping with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar...

And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

Oh, Yes, It's Another Blonde Joke!

(Thanks to Dee for sharing this one! She and I are both blondes.)



A Blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says: "Two Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident."

The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing "That's horrible!!! So many men dying that way!"

Confused, he says, "Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is always that risk involved."

After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, asks, "How many is a Brazilian?"

Two Woodpeckers

This is the story of two woodpeckers. I received it from Catherine, from Tony and from someone who said not to mention her if I used this! That means it's got to be good!


Two Woodpeckers..........

A Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico arguing about which place had the toughest trees.


The Mexican woodpecker claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck.


The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed.


The Canadian woodpecker then challenged the Mexican woodpecker to peck a tree in Canada that was absolutely 'impeckable' (a term frequently used by woodpeckers ). The Mexican woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it and accepted the challenge.


The two flew to Canada where the Mexican woodpecker successfully pecked the so-called 'impeckable' tree almost without breaking a sweat.


Both woodpeckers were now terribly confused.


How is it that the Canadian woodpecker was able to peck the Mexican tree, and the Mexican woodpecker was able to peck the Canadian tree, yet neither was able to peck the tree in their own country?


After much woodpecker pondering, they both came to the same conclusion:

Apparently, your pecker gets harder when you're away from home.

Oh, Well, That Changes Everything

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into
the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist,
looked straight into his eyes and said, "I
would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do
you need cyanide?"

The lady replied, "I need it to poison my
husband."

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he
exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give
you cyanide to kill your husband. That's
against the law! I'll lose my license!
They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds
of bad things will happen.

Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any
cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled
out a picture of her husband in bed with
the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and
replied, "Well now, that's different. You
didn't tell me you had a prescription."

Football Explained

Right in the midst of bowl season, football is finally explained, thanks to this from Sharon Sessler:

A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game.

They had great seats right behind their team's bench.

After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.

'Oh, I really liked it,' she replied, 'especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.'

Dumbfounded, her date asked, 'What do you mean?'

'Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents.'

Nine Words Women Use

NINE WORDS/PHRASES WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying...Go to H...

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
