DID YOU HEAR?
“Did you hear about the rope joke?” “No.” “Skip it!”
“Did you hear about the coed who when she went to college found she wasn’t the only pebble on the beach?” “No, what happened?” “She became a little boulder.”
“Did you hear that they’re building a $20 million hotel right in the heart of Moscow? They’re going to call it the Comrade Hilton.”
“Did you hear about the fellow who had a bad nightmare? He dreamed he was forced to eat & swallow a 6-lb. marshmallow. When he awoke the next morning, he noticed his pillow was missing.”
“Did you hear about the guy who was so dumb it wasn’t until he had used Right Guard for 2 months he learned he could also use it under his left arm?”
“Did you hear about the man who first met his wife at a travel bureau? She was looking for a vacation and he was the last resort.”
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know why women’s minds are cleaner than men’s? It’s because they change them so often?
Did you know what the skunk said when the wind turned? “It all comes back to me now!”
Did you know that 50 percent of the passengers who fly from London to Paris go by air?
Sure glad we have lots of good sports in our park!
You may add your own name to this one if it applies….
It was a Sunday afternoon and Paul had been watching football (basketball, whatever) on TV, one game after another.
Finally he fell asleep in the chair and slept there all night.
When his wife Sharon arose in the morning, she was afraid he’d be late to crush cans at the hall. “Get up dear,” she said, “It’s twenty to seven!”
In an instant he was awake. “In whose favor?” he shouted.
A Fish Story (names changed to protect the guilty)
Den & Tim had been out fishing on the Laguna Madre. Luck was good. A fine catch of sea trout lay in the boat.
“Let’s come back here tomorrow,” suggested Tim. “We won’t find a better spot anywhere.”
“That’s okay with me,” concurred Den, “but how will we ever find this exact place again?”
Tim snorted, “Den, you don’t know enough to come out of the rain. I’ll show you how.” He took a piece of chalk out of his pocket, and marked a big X on the side of the boat. “That’ll do it,” he said.
“But, Tim,” objected Den, scratching his head perplexedly, “How do we know that they’ll rent us the same boat tomorrow?”
